Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically to a folding shoe rack. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shoe racks are typically packaged as multiple parts for easy transport. Due to the large number of parts, assembly is time-consuming and difficult. Furthermore, many vendors include assembly tools in the packaging to cater to all customers, increasing the cost for the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of inconvenient installation of existing shoe racks and to provide a folding shoe rack that is both easy to transport and easy to install.

[0004] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A folding shoe rack, comprising:

[0005] The frame has two sides arranged opposite each other. Each frame includes two vertical supports. Each vertical support is provided with a sliding groove, and the opening of the sliding groove faces the other vertical support on the same side.

[0006] There are two side plates, and each side plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove of two vertical supports on the same side;

[0007] The shelf is provided in several parts. The two ends of the shelf are respectively hinged to the two side frames. The outer end faces of the two ends of the shelf are parallel to and abut against the surface of the side plate. The shelf includes a first shelf and a second shelf. The first shelf and the second shelf are respectively hinged to the side frames on different sides. The first shelf and the second shelf are connected by a hinge mechanism.

[0008] During transport and packaging, all shelves are lifted from the middle upwards or downwards, and the shelves rotate along the hinge points at both ends. The first and second shelves are then stacked together after rotating around the hinge axis between them, with the frame stacked on the outside of the shelves, and the side panels stacked separately. This greatly reduces the volume occupied by the folding shoe rack, making it convenient for transportation. During installation, the folded shoe rack is placed vertically, and the middle of the shelves is pressed down or lifted up, causing the shelves to rotate along the hinge points at both ends. The first and second shelves are fully unfolded into flat panels. Then, the two side panels are inserted into the sliding grooves on both sides, so that the outer end face of the shelf abuts against the surface of the side panel, preventing relative rotation between the shelf and the side panel and improving the stability of the folding shoe rack. No installation tools are required during the installation process.

[0009] Preferably, a sub-layer is also included, which is disposed above or below all the layers, one end of which is hinged to one side of the frame and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the frame.

[0010] During transport and packaging, the sub-layer can be rotated and stored along the hinge point, taking up little space. When in use, the sub-layer is connected to the second vertical bracket, which not only increases storage capacity but also improves the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the sub-layer plate is hinged to one side of the frame, and the other end is connected to the other side of the frame using a threaded connection. Since threaded tools are very common, direct fixing via a threaded connection is more convenient.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the sub-layer plate is hinged to the side frame, and the other end is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the side frame is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove for engaging the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0013] The snap-fit ​​connection prevents the secondary shelf from rotating at the snap-fit ​​end, thus improving the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0014] Preferably, the opposite end faces of the first and second layers are inner end faces, the two inner end faces are parallel and abut each other, and the hinge mechanism includes a hinge member, the hinge axis of which is located between the two inner end faces and below the lower side of the layer.

[0015] Because the hinge axis of the hinge is located between the two inner end faces and below the lower side of the shelf, the two inner end faces of the shelf are parallel and abut each other, so that the two inner end faces cannot continue to rotate relative to each other after the shelf is fully unfolded, and the middle of the shelf cannot sink, thus improving the stability of the folding shoe rack during use; in addition, the hinge is generally small in size, such as a hinge, thus further reducing the packaging volume of the folding shoe rack.

[0016] The hinge mechanism includes a connector, with one end of each of the first and second layers hinged to the connector, and the bottom of the connector and the bottom of the frame located on the same horizontal plane.

[0017] The connector prevents the middle of the unfolded shelf from sinking, improving the stability of the folding shoe rack; and it serves as a force application point and fulcrum when the folding shoe rack is unfolded and folded up, making the folding shoe rack more convenient to use.

[0018] Preferably, the outer end face and / or inner end face are provided with recessed relief grooves. These relief grooves reduce the overall weight while increasing the allowable tolerances of the inner and outer end faces of the shelf.

[0019] Preferably, the stabilizer bar has one end hinged to the frame and the other end detachably connected to the connector or the shelf. The stabilizer bar enhances the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0020] Preferably, the system also includes a curtain rod, one end of which is hinged to one side of the frame, and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the frame. The curtain rod is used to install curtains to improve the aesthetics of the folding shoe rack, and it can also be rotated and stored along the hinge point during transport packaging, taking up little space. When the folding shoe rack is in use, the curtain rod, after being connected to the frame, also helps to improve the stability of the folding shoe rack.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] During transport packaging, all shelves are lifted from the middle upwards or downwards, so that the first and second shelves are rotated around the hinge axis between them and stacked together, with the frame stacked on the outside of the shelves and the side panels stacked separately, thus greatly reducing the volume occupied by the folding shoe rack and facilitating transportation.

[0023] During installation, press down or lift the middle of the shelf to fully unfold the first and second shelves into flat panels. Then, insert the two side panels into the sliding grooves on both sides so that the outer end face of the shelf abuts against the surface of the side panel, preventing relative rotation between the shelf and the side panel and improving the stability of the folding shoe rack. No installation tools are required during the installation process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0035] For ease of explanation, when describing the folding shoe rack, the first vertical support 1 is placed vertically, with the connector 42 facing backward as the front view.

[0036] Example 1, as Figures 1-8 As shown, a folding shoe rack includes:

[0037] The frame 1 has two parts arranged opposite each other on both sides. Each frame 1 includes two vertical supports 11. Each vertical support 11 is provided with a sliding groove 12, and the opening of the sliding groove 12 faces the other vertical support 11 on the same side.

[0038] Side plate 2, there are two pieces, each side plate 2 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 12 of the two vertical supports 11 on the same side;

[0039] Several shelves 3 are provided. The two ends of each shelf 3 are hinged to the two side frames 1. The outer end faces 31 of each shelf 3 are parallel to and abut against the surfaces of the side panels 2. Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 3 includes a first shelf 301 and a second shelf 302. The first shelf 301 and the second shelf 302 are respectively hinged to the frame 1 on different sides. The first shelf 301 and the second shelf 302 are connected by a hinge mechanism 4. The hinge axis direction of the hinge mechanism 4 is the same as the hinge axis direction of both ends of the shelf 3 and the frame 1.

[0040] Sub-layer 7 is disposed on the upper or lower part of all layers 3. In this embodiment, the sub-layer 7 is disposed on the upper part of the layer 3. The number is set as needed. In this embodiment, two sub-layer 7 are disposed. One end of the sub-layer 7 is hinged to one side of the frame 1. The hinge direction is the same as the hinge axis direction of the hinge mechanism 4. The other end is detachably connected to the other side of the frame 1. For example, it is connected by a threaded part. In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 71 is provided at the unhinged end of the sub-layer 7. The frame 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 13 for engaging the snap-fit ​​protrusion 71. Through snap-fit ​​connection, the snap-fit ​​end of the sub-layer 7 is prevented from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0041] Since all hinged connections have the same hinge axis, during transport packaging, all shelves 3 are lifted from the middle upwards or downwards, causing the shelves 3 to rotate along the hinge points at both ends. The first shelf 301 and the second shelf 302 are rotated around the hinge axis and then stacked together. The frame 1 is stacked on the outside of the shelf 3, and the sub-shelf 7 is rotated along the hinge point and stacked on the outside of the frame 1. The side panels 2 are stacked together, which greatly reduces the volume occupied by the folding shoe rack and facilitates transportation.

[0042] During installation, after placing the folded shoe rack vertically, press down or lift the middle of shelf 3, causing shelf 3 to rotate along the hinge points at both ends. The first shelf 301 and the second shelf 302 rotate around the hinge axis between them. Figure 8 As shown, until the shelf 3 is fully unfolded into a flat plate, the two side plates 2 are then inserted into the sliding grooves 12 on both sides, so that the outer end face 31 of the shelf 3 abuts against the surface of the side plate 2, preventing the shelf 3 and the side plate 2 from rotating relative to each other, thus improving the stability of the folding shoe rack. No installation tools are required during the installation process.

[0043] The hinge mechanism 4 can be any one or both of the hinge member 41 and the connecting member 42. In this embodiment, both are used. Furthermore, the hinge member 41 in this embodiment is in the form of a hinge. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the opposing end faces of the first shelf 301 and the second shelf 302 are inner end faces 32. The two inner end faces 32 are parallel and abut each other. The hinge axis of the hinge member 41 is located between the two inner end faces 32 and below the lower side of the shelf 3. The adjacent ends of each first shelf 301 and second shelf 302 are hinged to the connector 42. The bottom of the connector 42 is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the frame 1. The hinge member 41 is installed on the front side facing the user to improve aesthetics. The connector 42 is installed on the rear side to prevent the middle of the unfolded shelf 3 from sinking and improve the stability of the folding shoe rack. Furthermore, it serves as a force application point and fulcrum when the folding shoe rack is unfolded and folded up, making the folding shoe rack more convenient to use.

[0044] Since the hinge axis of the hinge 41 is located between the two inner end faces 32 and below the lower side of the shelf 3, the two inner end faces 32 of the shelf 3 are parallel and abut each other, so that the two inner end faces 32 cannot continue to rotate relative to each other after the shelf 3 is fully unfolded, and the middle of the shelf 3 cannot sink, which improves the stability of the folding shoe rack when in use; in addition, the hinge 41 is generally small in size, such as a hinge, thus further reducing the packaging volume of the folding shoe rack.

[0045] The outer end face 31 and / or the inner end face 32 are provided with recessed relief grooves 33. The relief grooves 33 reduce the overall weight while increasing the allowable tolerances of the inner and outer end faces of the shelf 3.

[0046] In addition, a cover strip 21 is provided at the top of the side plate 2. After the side plate 2 is inserted into the sliding groove 12, the cover strip 21 covers the snap-fit ​​groove 13 to prevent the snap-fit ​​protrusion 71 from coming out.

[0047] This embodiment of the folding shoe rack also includes a curtain rod 6, one end of which is hinged to one side of the frame 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the frame 1. The curtain rod 6 is used to install a curtain to improve the aesthetics of the folding shoe rack, and it can also be rotated along the hinge point for storage during transportation and packaging, taking up little space. When the folding shoe rack is in use, the curtain rod 6, after being connected to the frame 1, also helps to improve the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0048] Example 2: A folding shoe rack includes a stabilizing rod 5. One end of the stabilizing rod 5 is hinged to the frame 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the connector 42 or the shelf 3. The rest is the same as in Example 1. The stabilizing rod 5 enhances the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0049] Example 3: A folding shoe rack, such as Figure 6 As shown, compared to Embodiment 1, the sub-shelf 7 and curtain rod 6 are not provided, but a stabilizing rod 5 is provided. One end of the stabilizing rod is hinged to the frame 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the connector 42 or the shelf 3. Otherwise, it is the same as Embodiment 1. The stabilizing rod 5 plays a role in improving the stability of the folding shoe rack during use.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
