Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item display technology, specifically to a reinforced structure for a shelf divider and a shelf. Background Technology
[0002] Existing shelf dividers, such as the one-piece molded "U"-shaped divider, front stop bar, and cross-shaped snap fastener in the shelf disclosed in patent CN219460774U, form several channels for displaying items by setting the divider bars, and then fix the front stop bar to the front end of the channel by snap fasteners to prevent items from sliding out of the channel.
[0003] However, the metal strips in the existing shelf dividers, which are set along the length of the aisle, need to be adapted to the length of the aisle for the displayed items. If the metal strips are too long, the dividers will be weak and prone to deformation, making it impossible to properly divide the width between the aisles. If the number of metal strips in the middle section of the dividers is increased, the cost will increase exponentially. Compared with a single metal strip, dividers with multiple metal strips will also have a significantly lower yield rate due to the special dimensional control of the welding process. Therefore, they are not suitable for solving the strength problem of dividers.
[0004] Meanwhile, the structure of the snap-fit fastener that connects the separator and the front baffle through two locking parts lacks stability. Firstly, the front baffle can slide vertically and change its height due to the cross-shaped locking part of the snap-fit fastener. Secondly, the snap-fit fastener's locking method can easily cause the front baffle to loosen and fall off, posing certain safety hazards that require regular manual inspection.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reinforced structure for shelf dividers to solve the problem of poor overall stability of the existing shelf divider structures. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] See Figures 1 to 2 The first aspect of this utility model proposes a reinforcing structure for a shelf divider, including a divider 1, a blocking part 2, and a mounting part 3. The divider 1 and the blocking part 2 are erected on the mounting part 3. The top of the divider 1 is provided with a main dividing groove 11 for installing a dividing strip. The divider 1 is provided with a plurality of secondary dividing grooves 12 along the height direction on the surface of the main dividing groove 11. The top of the blocking part 2 is provided with a limiting hole 21 for installing a blocking strip. The bottom of the mounting part 3 is provided with a pin 31 for installing the reinforcing structure on the shelf.
[0030] Specifically, the main dividing groove 11 and secondary dividing groove 12 arranged along the height direction on the dividing part 1 can add dividing strips to each slide on the shelf. In particular, when a single dividing strip is deformed due to factors such as impact of items, and a single dividing strip cannot properly limit the width of each slide, more dividing strips can be inserted into the secondary dividing groove 12 to stabilize the dividing function of the slide. It can be understood that the number of dividing strips on both sides of each slide can be adjusted according to the actual use of the shelf. In addition to the number, if the slide cannot limit the display of items that are too short, a dividing plate extending upward from the bottom of the slide can also be added as a dividing element in the secondary dividing groove 12. The above-mentioned reinforced structure does not rely on welding process to realize the shelf dividing function. The configuration of the dividing elements of the slide on the shelf can be customized through a detachable installation method, which enhances the stability of the dividing function structure and is suitable for most item display shelves.
[0031] Furthermore, the blocking part 2 is provided with a limiting hole 21 near the main dividing groove 11. The limiting hole 21 allows the blocking strip in the divider to pass through several reinforcing structures arranged on the shelf, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the dividing strip and the blocking strip in the divider. The installation method of the blocking strip can increase the firmness of the divider and prevent the blocking strip from falling off, ensuring that the items on the shelf will not slide out of the slide due to the blocking strip falling off, and further increasing the stability of the overall structure of the divider.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main dividing groove 11 is provided with an insertion groove 111 for inserting a "U"-shaped dividing strip. To further increase the stability of the dividing strip, the connecting end of the "U"-shaped dividing strip can be accommodated through the insertion groove 111. The dividing strip extending into the dividing part 1 can have higher stability. If the dividing height of the slide needs to be further adjusted, the depth of the "U"-shaped dividing strip inserted into the insertion groove 111 can be adjusted to change the height of the dividing member separating the slide. This allows the shelf to accommodate taller items. It is understood that when using the reinforcing structure, if there is no special height requirement, straight dividing strips can be inserted into the reinforcing structure at the front and rear ends of the slide to form a dividing structure for the standard shelf slide interval. Alternatively, "U"-shaped dividing strips can be inserted into the insertion groove 111 of the reinforcing structure to enhance the overall stability of the dividing member. The dividing height of the slide can also be changed by the cooperation of the insertion groove 111 and the "U"-shaped dividing strip. Therefore, it can adapt to the shape of the dividing strip in different types of dividing members and can reflect higher assembly flexibility.
[0033] This utility model proposes a reinforcing structure for a shelf divider, applicable to shelves. The reinforcing structure includes a divider, a blocking part, and a mounting part. The divider and the blocking part are erected on the mounting part. The top of the divider has a main dividing groove for installing a dividing strip. Several secondary dividing grooves are arranged along the height direction on the surface of the main dividing groove. The top of the blocking part has a limiting hole for installing a blocking strip. The bottom of the mounting part has a pin for mounting the reinforcing structure onto the shelf. Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are: it can increase the overall stability and robustness of the shelf divider; it is easy to assemble and disassemble; and it has high flexibility and adaptability in its application to shelves. It can be applied to different shelf display scenarios and has high application value in the field of item display.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the end of the pin 31 extends to provide a buckle 32 for fastening and fixing the reinforcing structure to the shelf. As those skilled in the art will readily know, the slides on existing shelves include, but are not limited to, pusher slides, ball slides, single-plate slides and mesh slides. Usually, the front and rear ends of existing slides are provided with plugs (not shown in the figure), and the ends of the plugs are usually provided with insertion holes for inserting the partition strip. Therefore, the reinforcing structure can be installed at both ends of the slide through the pin 31. However, compared with the direct installation of the partition strip, the mounting part 3 is a planar structure that directly abuts against the upper surface of the slide. The mounting part 3 can prevent the partition strip from swaying left and right on the slide and increase the stability of the partition strip on the slide.
[0036] Furthermore, to make the connection between the reinforcing structure and the shelf slide more secure, a buckle 32 is provided at the end of the insert 31. After the insert 31 passes through the shelf, the buckle 32 at its end can engage with the bottom surface of the shelf, thereby enhancing the firmness of the reinforcing mechanism on the shelf. It is understood that the insert 31 and the shelf are interference fit. For further stability, multiple inserts 31 can be provided. After at least two or more inserts 31 are installed with interference fit with the shelf, the buckle at the end of the insert 31 can further increase the installation firmness. This can improve the overall stability of the partition mounted on the reinforcing structure on the shelf.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition 1, the blocking part 2, and the mounting part 3 are integrally formed. It is understood that the partition 1, the blocking part 2, and the mounting part 3 can also be detachable and separate. However, in order to consider the stability of the overall structure, the integral forming method not only has high overall stability, but also reduces the corresponding production cost. Especially during assembly and disassembly, the integrally formed reinforced structure will not increase the disassembly and assembly steps due to the scattered parts, and it is also easy to store.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] Embodiment 3 of this utility model proposes a shelf, including a reinforcing structure of the shelf divider proposed in Embodiments 1 and 2. The shelf includes at least one slide 4, several divider strips 5 and blocking strips 6. The reinforcing structure is installed at both ends of the slide 4 by inserts 31. The two ends of the divider strips 5 are respectively inserted into the main divider groove 11 or the secondary divider groove 12. The blocking strips 6 pass through several limiting holes 21 in sequence to be installed at the front end of the slide 4.
[0040] It should be noted that in actual use, the slide 4 can be an existing slide structure such as a propeller slide, a ball bearing slide, a single-plate slide, or a net slide, as long as the reinforcing structure can be installed at the front and rear ends of the slide. It can also be fastened to the bottom of the shelf by the buckle 32 at the end of the pin 31, thereby increasing the overall firmness of the reinforcing structure. There is no need to worry about the partitions mounted on the reinforcing structure itself becoming loose and affecting the slide specifications.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, at least one partition strip 5 is provided between the front and rear reinforcing structures in the slide 4, and the distance between the two reinforcing structures on the same slide 4 is less than the length of the partition strip 5, so as to ensure that the partition strip 5 can abut against the groove walls of the main partition groove 11 and the secondary partition groove 12, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the overall partition.
[0042] Example 4
[0043] The difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 3 is that the slide 4 is a ball bearing slide, and the upper surface of the ball bearing slide is provided with a plurality of rollers 41. As those skilled in the art will readily know, the front end of the existing slide is usually provided with a plug (such as a pusher slide, ball bearing slide, etc.). In order to install the partition strip, the plug is usually provided with a gap for the end of the partition strip to be inserted. In this way, the reinforcing structure can be installed on the shelf to reinforce the partition and improve the overall stability of the partition structure.
[0044] Example 5
[0045] The difference between this embodiment 5 and embodiment 3 is that, in a preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model, the slide 4 is a mesh slide, and the contact surface between the mesh slide and the item is provided with a plurality of guide ribs 42. As those skilled in the art can easily know, if it is installed on the mesh slide, the mesh slide itself is a mesh structure, and there will be gaps on the surface of the slide. Similarly, the installation of the reinforced structure can be achieved by using the interference fit between the pin 31 and the gap.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
