Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, and in particular to a shelving beam and a shelving unit. Background Technology

[0002] In commerce, logistics, and production processes, there is often a need to store large quantities of goods, materials, and components. Multi-level shelving is undoubtedly the best choice, ensuring both space utilization and standardized management. Shelving typically consists of uprights, sub-beams, and crossbeams. The crossbeams and sub-beams are connected to adjacent surfaces of the uprights, with the sub-beams installed perpendicular to the crossbeams, thus forming a stable support structure. In use, two parallel crossbeams define the platform position for loading materials. Once materials are placed on the platform, the crossbeams bear most of the vertical pressure. Therefore, existing crossbeams are generally made of square tubing, cut from raw square tubing and then welded to the uprights for simplicity and stability. However, this method has low production efficiency, and in situations requiring hanging items, installing baffles, or assembling other accessories, additional external connecting components are needed, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shelf beam and a shelf to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: First, this utility model provides a shelf beam, including:

[0005] The first support plate extends to the left and right as a whole, and the surface of the first support plate has a first front edge and a first rear edge.

[0006] The second support plate is located below the first support plate. The second support plate extends to the left and right as a whole and has a second front edge and a second rear edge on its surface.

[0007] An inclined support plate is located between the first support plate and the second support plate. The inclined support plate extends horizontally as a whole. The plate surface of the inclined support plate has an upper edge and a lower edge. The upper edge is connected to the first rear edge, and the lower edge is connected to the second front edge.

[0008] The first support plate, the second support plate, and the inclined support plate are integrally bent into shape.

[0009] The first support plate, second support plate, and inclined support plate are integrally bent into shape. This means that the first support plate, inclined support plate, and second support plate can be bent from the same sheet metal using a die bending technique. This structure saves welding steps and reduces the weight of the shelf beam compared to the traditional method of splicing square tube beams, making the overall structure lighter. Furthermore, because the shelf beam of this invention has inclined support plates, with the upper edge of the inclined support plate connected to the first rear edge and the lower edge connected to the second front edge, both the upper and lower parts of the shelf beam have high-strength edges formed by bending. When goods are loaded onto the shelf and the shelf beam bears the heavy load, these two high-strength edges ensure the overall load-bearing capacity of the shelf beam, preventing it from bending or twisting. Therefore, this invention changes the structure of traditional bulky square tube beams while ensuring the load-bearing capacity and bending resistance of the shelf beam structure, resulting in excellent performance.

[0010] As an extension of the above solution, the first support plate is parallel to the second support plate. Because the first and second support plates are parallel, the shelf beams of this invention can be flipped up and down for installation and use, improving the versatility of components. Furthermore, the two parallel planes also improve the consistency of the assembled shelf structure, facilitating the installation of components such as storage shelves or pallets.

[0011] As an extension of the above solution, the first front edge extends downward to form a third edge, and the second rear edge extends upward to form a fourth edge. By setting the third and fourth edges, the rigidity of the shelf beams can be further strengthened, the bending strength improved, and the shelf beams made more reliable in use. Furthermore, the shape and structure of the third and fourth edges give the edges of the shelf beams a macroscopic chamfer, making them less likely to scratch hands. In some installation scenarios, the recessed third and fourth edges can provide positioning or limiting for the shelf's load-bearing layers, as well as for concealing cables and providing a hanging base for some external hook components.

[0012] As an extension of the above solution, the third edge is equal in length to the fourth edge. This further improves the symmetry of the shelf beams, making installation easier for workers.

[0013] As an extension of the above solution, the shelf beams also include:

[0014] The suspension hole assembly includes:

[0015] The first suspension hole is disposed on the first support plate;

[0016] The second suspension hole is provided in the second support plate;

[0017] The third suspension hole is provided in the inclined support plate;

[0018] The first, second, and third suspension holes in the same suspension hole group are aligned in the vertical direction.

[0019] The above configuration can make the shelving beams lighter. When there is a need to hang items, either the first or third hanging hole can be used to hang items. As a shelving beam, sometimes there is a need to install vertical baffles on the shelf. In this case, the vertically aligned first, second, and third hanging holes can be used to provide fixing holes for fixing the base of the baffle. For example, a vertical limiting rod can be set on the side of the baffle, and then the limiting rod can be passed through the first, third, and second hanging holes from top to bottom in one go. This way, the baffle can be easily and quickly and securely positioned.

[0020] It should be noted that while the first, third, and second suspension holes are vertically aligned, variations in hole size and slight deviations in their central axes are permissible, as long as the same rod can pass through them in one pass in the general vertical direction. In effect, the first, third, and second suspension holes provide triple protection, allowing long, straight rods, such as limit rods, to be secured in multiple locations after insertion into the suspension hole group. Of course, in practice, since shelf beams are usually parallel and appear in pairs, two opposite holes on different shelf beams can also work together to secure the two limit rods on either side of the baffle. In this case, it is not mandatory for the first, third, and second suspension holes in the same suspension hole group to be of equal size.

[0021] As an extension of the above solution, several sets of hanging holes are evenly arranged along the left-right direction. This provides multiple usable sets of hanging holes along the left-right length direction, which is convenient for daily use and for installing multiple baffles, adjusting the spacing, or hanging multiple items.

[0022] Based on the above-mentioned technical solutions, this utility model also provides a shelf, which includes a storage layer, the storage layer having at least two parallel long beams, the two ends of the long beams being respectively connected to upright frames in an upright posture, the long beams being the shelf beams and various extensions provided by this utility model.

[0023] The uprights, as one of the skeletal structures of the shelving, provide vertical support for the shelving and a supporting foundation for the storage shelves. The storage shelves can be rectangular, square, or other polygonal planes, and can be horizontally or inclined. Two parallel long beams serve as opposite sides of the storage shelves, defining their width. An upright is installed at each end of the long beam, and the ends of the long beams are connected to the corresponding uprights, thus creating the basic frame of the shelving. Since the long beams of this invention are the shelving crossbeams provided by this invention, the shelving possesses all the beneficial effects originally associated with the shelving crossbeams, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0024] As an extension of the above solution, the upright includes vertically arranged columns, with the ends of the first support plate, the second support plate, and / or the inclined support plate fixedly connected to the columns. Specifically, the same shelf beam can be arranged horizontally, with its first support plate, inclined support plate, and second support plate simultaneously connected to the columns, or only one or two of them can be selected for connection to the columns. Furthermore, the above connection methods can be achieved through direct welding or by adding other components to make the connection detachable. In short, it is only necessary to ensure that the ends of the shelf beams are securely connected to the columns and do not loosen during use. This structure makes the product more integral and also facilitates processing.

[0025] As an extension of the above solution, the shelf of this utility model also includes:

[0026] A wedge-shaped support block is disposed within the space defined by the first support plate and the inclined support plate, and is connected to both the first support plate and the inclined support plate. Since the first support plate and the inclined support plate define a dihedral angle, the support block further enhances the overall compressive strength.

[0027] In addition, based on the above-mentioned shelving technical solution, as another implementation scheme, the shelving includes:

[0028] The storage layer has at least two parallel long beams, and each end of the long beam is connected to an upright frame. The long beam is the shelf beam of this utility model with a hanging hole group.

[0029] The support frame includes vertically arranged columns, and the ends of the first support plate, the second support plate and / or the inclined support plate are welded and fixed to the columns;

[0030] A wedge-shaped support block is provided in the space defined by the first support plate and the inclined support plate, and the support block is connected to both the first support plate and the inclined support plate.

[0031] The baffle unit includes a limiting rod and a vertically arranged baffle. The limiting rod is located on both sides of the baffle. The baffle is erected on the load layer by inserting the limiting rod into the corresponding suspension hole group.

[0032] As can be seen, the shelving described in the above implementation scheme includes various extended technical solutions of shelving provided by this utility model, and further includes a baffle unit. Since multiple opposing hanging hole groups are inevitably formed on the two parallel shelving beams after the frame is assembled, inserting the two feet of the baffle unit, i.e., the two limiting rods, into the corresponding hanging hole groups can separate the shelving layers, facilitating the rational arrangement of goods. Additionally, when loading products that generally require upright placement, such as tiles and glass plates, the baffle can also provide support for these products.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0034] The beam structure of this utility model can be integrally bent and formed on the same sheet metal, making production simpler and more convenient, improving production efficiency, and reducing the overall weight while ensuring load-bearing and bending resistance. The shelving of this utility model also incorporates all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned shelving beam. Attached Figure Description

[0042] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and 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.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, if there are words such as "several", they mean one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than", "less than", "exceeding" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0046] Reference Figures 1-5 The following are several embodiments of the shelf beams and shelves of this utility model.

[0047] A shelving beam includes: a first support plate 1 extending horizontally, the surface of the first support plate 1 having a first front edge 111 and a first rear edge 112; a second support plate 3 located below the first support plate 1, the second support plate 3 also extending horizontally, and the surface having a second front edge 311 and a second rear edge 312; and an inclined support plate 2 located between the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 3, the inclined support plate 2 extending horizontally, the surface of the inclined support plate 2 having an upper edge 211 and a lower edge 212, the upper edge 211 being connected to the first rear edge 112, and the lower edge 212 being connected to the second front edge 311; the first support plate 1, the second support plate 3, and the inclined support plate 2 are integrally bent into shape.

[0048] Specifically, the first support plate 1 is horizontally positioned with a flat surface. The second support plate 3 is located below the first support plate 1 and parallel to its surface. The inclined support plate 2 is located between the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 3. The angle between the inclined support plate 2 and the first support plate 1 is 50 to 55 degrees, and the angle between the inclined support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 is also 50 to 55 degrees. The first front edge 111 extends downward to form a third edge 4, and the second rear edge 322 extends upward to form a fourth edge 411. The third edge 4 and the fourth edge 411 are of equal length. Therefore, in this embodiment, the vertical cross-section of the shelf beam 8 is Z-shaped.

[0049] In specific production applications, the shelf beam 8 is formed by integral bending. The distance between the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 3 is 60mm to 70mm. The width of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 3 is the same, both being 40mm to 50mm. The thickness of the first support plate 1, the second support plate 3 and the inclined support plate 2 is 1.8mm to 2.5mm. The shelf beam 8 is made of hot-rolled steel plate, which has good load-bearing performance, is easy to process and produce, and can also reduce the amount of material used.

[0050] The parameters above are derived from empirical values ​​combined with production practice and optimized through creative thinking. Actual calculations show that the rack beams formed using the above-mentioned parameters such as angle, thickness, and spacing are easier to process, have stronger load-bearing capacity, and are superior to traditional square tube beams and other types of beams.

[0051] In some embodiments, the shelf beam 8 may also be evenly provided with hanging hole groups 5 in the left-right direction. The hanging hole group 5 includes: a first hanging hole 511, which is disposed on the first support plate 1; a second hanging hole 512, which is disposed on the second support plate 3; and a third hanging hole 513, which is disposed on the inclined support plate 2. The first hanging hole 511, the third hanging hole 513, and the second hanging hole 512 in the same hanging hole group 5 are aligned in the vertical direction. By providing through holes at the vertical center of the shelf beam 8, the weight can be reduced, and it is also convenient to set the positioning baffle 12 on the shelf through the through holes. In specific processing, the three hanging holes can be punched out on the flattened sheet metal first, and then the sheet metal can be punched and bent to make the holes basically aligned in the vertical direction. Alternatively, if conditions permit, the hole positions can be located first, then the main body of the shelf beam 8 can be punched and bent, and finally the three hanging holes can be drilled in one go using a drilling machine. This can also ensure that the three holes are basically aligned in the vertical direction.

[0052] Below are some more embodiments of the shelving provided by this utility model.

[0053] A shelving unit includes: several aforementioned shelving beams 8, several upright frames 16, and multiple sub-beams 801; flat panels are laid on the shelving beams 8 to form a storage layer 14, which can be a single layer or multiple layers; each upright frame 16 includes two vertically arranged columns 9, which are connected by the sub-beams 801 to provide a fixed foundation for the entire shelving unit to stand upright. Specifically, it can be divided into a left upright frame and a right upright frame, and the storage layer 14 is set between the left and right upright frames 16. At this time, the storage layer 14 is naturally divided into a front shelving beam and a rear shelving beam. The left and right ends of the front shelving beam and the left and right ends of the rear shelving beam are connected to the corresponding columns 9 in the left and right upright frames, respectively, to form a square shelving unit that can be used to place and carry goods.

[0054] The connection between the ends of the shelving beams 8 and the corresponding uprights can be achieved through direct welding or by adding connecting plates 10 for a transitional connection. For example, the ends of the first support plate 1, the second support plate 3, and the inclined support plate 2 can be simultaneously fixedly connected to the uprights 9, or only the end of the first support plate 1 can be fixedly connected to the uprights 9 without focusing on the connection relationship between the ends of the inclined support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 and the uprights. However, regardless of the connection method, attention should be paid to the stability of the overall frame to ensure that the connection positions do not loosen, shift, or deform during operation.

[0055] In some embodiments, a support block 7 is also provided on the shelf beam. The support block 7 is wedge-shaped, and its shape is nested precisely within the dihedral angle defined by the first support plate 1 and the inclined support plate 2. The edges of the support block 7 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the first support plate 1 and the upper part of the inclined support plate 2, thus forming a reinforcing rib and improving the load-bearing capacity of the shelf beam 8. The support block 7 can be fixed to the shelf beam 8 by welding, or it can be detachably connected to the first support plate 1 and the inclined support plate 2 through the first hanging hole 511 and / or the third hanging hole 513. This arrangement allows the shelf beam 8 to be quickly disassembled and assembled with the shelf uprights 9, improving on-site assembly efficiency.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, mounting holes 912 matching the cross-sectional shape of the shelf beam 8 can be opened on the upright 9, and through holes (not shown) are provided on the side wall of the upright 7. During assembly, the shelf beam 8 is inserted into the mounting hole 912 on the upright 9, and the bolts are passed through the through hole (not shown) on the side wall of the upright 9 and the third hanging hole 513 of the shelf beam 8 at the same time, and then locked with nuts. This makes the installation of the shelf beam 8 and the upright 9 simple and does not require welding during on-site installation.

[0057] In some embodiments, the shelf further includes a vertically arranged baffle 12, with limiting rods 11 fixedly connected to both sides of the baffle 12. Generally, the width of the baffle 12 is approximately equal to the width of the shelf 14, and two insert rods are provided below the baffle 12, serving as the limiting rods 11. (Refer to...) Figure 5 When the baffle 12 is oriented left and right, the limiting rods 11 are positioned at the front and rear, respectively, corresponding to the hanging hole groups 5 on the front and rear shelf beams. This allows the two limiting rods 11 to be easily inserted into their corresponding hanging hole groups 5, achieving simple insertion and fixation of the baffle 12. When the third hanging hole 513 is occupied due to the installation of other accessories, the limiting rod 11 can be inserted only into the first hanging hole 511, ensuring the baffle 12 stands stably. With the baffle 12 installed, the shelf can be easily divided for storage, and it can also serve as a support wall when storing items such as tiles.

[0058] Additionally, refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the baffle unit 17 may only have a limiting rod 11, which is inserted into the suspension hole group 5. A gap is naturally defined between two adjacent limiting rods 11, referred to as the first channel 13. In the same shelf layer 14, the corresponding first channels 13 on two parallel shelf beams 8 together form a space for inserting flat items, referred to as the first storage slot (not shown). This allows items such as glass or tiles to be directly inserted into the first storage slot, enabling them to stand upright and improving usability. Of course, for ease of leaning, the length of the inserted item should be no less than the span of the first storage slot.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
