[0003] However, in existing technologies, the shelves are all connected to the bracket with fasteners, which makes assembly cumbersome, results in a poor installation experience, and requires tools; moreover, it affects the overall appearance of the bracket after assembly. In addition, because the shelves are connected to the bracket with fasteners, it is not conducive to the storage of the bracket. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a bracket that enables tool-free installation of shelves and improves the overall appearance.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a connecting mechanism, comprising:

[0006] Multiple connectors are provided, and the connectors are adapted to connect to the legs on the object to be connected. One side of the connector is provided with a connecting structure connected to the legs, and the other side of the connector is provided with a support structure, and a support part is provided on the support structure. By rotating the connecting structure circumferentially, the multiple support parts can be adjusted to the same plane to form a support platform suitable for placing the shelf.

[0007] In the above-mentioned connecting mechanism, the connecting structure is provided with a through hole and a gap communicating with the through hole. When the connecting structure is connected to the support leg, the connecting structure is inserted into one end of the support leg through the through hole and moves to a preset position of the support leg. The gap allows the connecting structure to undergo elastic deformation and allows the connecting structure to rotate circumferentially at the preset position of the support leg.

[0008] In the above-mentioned connecting mechanism, the connecting structure is provided with a through hole, and the supporting structure is provided with a notch. The notch extends all the way to the through hole, and the legs can be inserted into the through hole at the preset position through the notch.

[0009] In the above-mentioned connecting mechanism, the connecting structure is provided with an opening, so that the connecting structure forms a C-shaped structure. When the connecting structure is connected to the support leg, the connecting structure is snapped into the preset position of the support leg through the opening. The opening allows the connecting structure to undergo elastic deformation and rotate circumferentially at the preset position.

[0010] This utility model also provides a bracket, comprising:

[0011] The frame, which includes multiple legs;

[0012] Shelf;

[0013] A connecting mechanism, comprising multiple connectors, wherein each connector is connected to a support leg, and a shelf is placed on a support platform formed by the multiple connectors.

[0014] In the aforementioned bracket, an annular groove is provided at a preset position of the support leg. When the connecting structure is connected to the preset position of the support leg, the connecting structure is fitted into the annular groove.

[0015] In the aforementioned bracket, an anti-slip pad is connected to the support part to increase friction with the shelf.

[0016] In the aforementioned support, the diameter of at least one segment of the outrigger gradually changes, and the diameter of the end of the outrigger that contacts the ground is smaller than the diameter of the end of the outrigger that is farther from the ground. The connector is attached to the segment of the outrigger whose diameter gradually changes.

[0017] In the aforementioned support structure, multiple legs are arranged at an angle, with one end of each leg converging towards the other and the other ends moving away from each other. When multiple support parts are located on the same plane, the support structures on the connectors all point towards the space enclosed by the multiple legs.

[0018] In the aforementioned bracket, the support section is equipped with a magnetic suction device, and the shelf is magnetically connected to the magnetic suction device.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] (1) The present invention provides a bracket in which the shelf is set on the bracket through a connecting mechanism, and the connecting parts in the connecting mechanism are tool-free to be installed with the corresponding legs, thereby making the shelf installation faster and more efficient, and making the appearance of the entire bracket simpler and more beautiful.

[0021] (2) The connecting structure itself is made of a material that enables it to deform elastically, thereby achieving a nested connection between the connecting structure and the support leg. Alternatively, a gap is provided in the connecting structure to enable it to deform elastically, thereby achieving a nested connection between the connecting structure and the support leg. Or, a notch is provided in the connecting structure to enable it to deform elastically, thereby achieving a snap-fit ​​connection between the connecting structure and the support leg.

[0022] (3) By setting anti-slip pads on the support plane, the friction between the shelf and the support plane can be increased, preventing the shelf from moving randomly and improving the safety of placing items on the shelf.

[0023] (4) The legs are designed with a variable diameter so that the connecting structure can be inserted from the thinner end of the leg. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bracket provided by this utility model includes:

[0032] The frame 10 is provided with at least three legs 11, which serve as a support structure that can be stably placed on the ground.

[0033] The connecting mechanism includes multiple connectors 20, and the number of connectors 20 corresponds one-to-one with the number of legs 11. One side of the connector 20 is provided with a connecting structure 21 that can be connected to the legs 11 without tools, and the other side of the connector 20 is provided with a support structure 22. Support parts 221 are provided on the support structure 22. By rotating the connecting structure 21 circumferentially, the multiple support parts 221 can be adjusted to the same plane to form a support platform.

[0034] The shelf 30 is located within the space enclosed by the three legs 11 and rests on the support platform.

[0035] The present invention provides a bracket in which the shelf 30 is mounted on the bracket via a connecting mechanism. The connecting member 20 in the connecting mechanism is tool-free to install with the corresponding support leg 11, which makes the installation of the shelf 30 faster and more efficient, and makes the appearance of the entire bracket simpler and more beautiful.

[0036] Preferably, a through hole 211 is provided on the connecting structure 21 along the axial direction of the connecting structure 21. When the connecting structure 21 is connected to the support leg 11, the connecting structure 21 is inserted through the through hole 211 from the end of the support leg 11 that is in contact with the ground, and moved to the preset position of the support leg 11. The connecting structure 21 and the support leg 11 are interference fit. The elasticity of the connecting structure 21 itself firmly fixes the connecting structure 21 to the preset position of the support leg 11, and the connecting structure 21 can rotate circumferentially at the preset position of the support leg 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, the material of the connecting structure 21 itself enables the connecting structure 21 to have the function of elastic deformation, thereby completing the nested connection between the connecting structure 21 and the support leg 11.

[0038] More preferably, a slit 212 is formed on the surface of the connecting structure 21 along the axial direction of the connecting structure 21, and the slit 212 is connected to the through hole 211. When the connecting structure 21 is connected to the support leg 11, the connecting structure 21 is inserted through the through hole 211 from the end of the support leg 11 that is in contact with the ground, and moved to the preset position of the support leg 11. The slit 212 enables the connecting structure 21 to have the function of elastic deformation and allows the connecting structure 21 to stay at the preset position of the support leg 11. The connecting structure 21 can rotate circumferentially at the preset position of the support leg 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gap 212 provided on the connecting structure 21 enables the connecting structure 21 to have the function of elastic deformation, thereby completing the nested connection between the connecting structure 21 and the support leg 11.

[0040] Optionally, the connecting structure 21 is a plastic part. Because the connecting structure 21 has a gap 212 that communicates with the through hole 211, the connecting structure 21 can be deformed. That is, the diameter of the through hole 211 can change under the action of external force, so that the support leg 11 can be inserted into the through hole 211.

[0041] More preferably, the connecting structure 21 is provided with an opening, so that the connecting structure 21 forms a C-shaped structure, and the opening is connected to the through hole 211. When the connecting structure 21 is connected to the support leg 11, the connecting structure 21 is snapped into the preset position of the support leg 11 through the opening, wherein the connecting structure 21 can rotate circumferentially at the preset position.

[0042] In this embodiment, by providing an opening on the connecting structure 21, the connecting structure 21 is made to have the function of elastic deformation, thereby completing the snap-fit ​​connection between the connecting structure 21 and the support leg 11.

[0043] Preferably, an annular groove 111 is provided at a preset position of the support leg 11. When the connecting structure 21 is connected to the preset position, the connecting structure 21 is fitted into the annular groove 111, so that the connecting structure 21 abuts against the lower side wall of the annular groove 111 along its axial direction, thereby limiting the degree of freedom of the connecting member 20 along the length direction of the support leg 11.

[0044] Preferably, an anti-slip pad 23 is connected to the support portion 221.

[0045] In this embodiment, by providing an anti-slip pad 23 on the support 221, the friction between the shelf 30 and the support 221 can be increased, preventing the shelf 30 from moving randomly and improving the safety of placing items on the shelf 30.

[0046] It is further noted that the outer contour shape of the anti-slip pad 23 is the same as the outer contour shape of the support portion 221.

[0047] It is further noted that the anti-slip pad 23 is connected to the support part 221 by means of adhesive backing.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that, in addition to being placed directly on the support portion 221, the shelf 30 can also be placed on the support portion 221 by magnetic attraction. When the shelf 30 is placed on the support portion 221 by magnetic attraction, both the support portion 221 and the shelf 30 are provided with magnets. The magnetic attraction between the magnets securely places the shelf 30 on the support portion 221. The magnets on the support portion 211 and the magnets on the shelf 30 form a magnetic attraction device. In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction device allows the shelf 30 to be stably placed on the support portion 221. Optionally, the shelf 30 may include an ferrous metal plate, with magnets only provided on the support portion 221.

[0049] Preferably, the diameter of at least one segment of the support leg 11 gradually changes, and the diameter of the end of the support leg 11 that is in contact with the ground is smaller than the diameter of the end of the support leg 11 that is away from the ground, wherein the connector 20 is connected to the segment of the support leg 11 whose diameter gradually changes.

[0050] In this embodiment, the support leg 11 is configured with a variable diameter, which makes it easier for the connecting structure to be inserted from the thinner end of the support leg 11, preventing the connector 20 from moving along the length of the support leg 11 and improving the safety of items stored on the shelf 30.

[0051] Preferably, the three support legs 11 are arranged at an angle, with one end of the three support legs 11 converging towards each other and the other ends of the three support legs 11 moving away from each other. When the multiple support parts 221 are located on a plane, the support structures 22 on the connector 20 all point towards the space enclosed by the multiple support legs 11.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that when there are four legs 11, the four legs 11 form a regular square truncated pyramid in space, and the support structures 22 in the four connectors 20 on the four legs 11 also point to the space enclosed by the multiple legs 11.

[0053] Preferably, the frame 10 further includes a connecting platform 12, and a support rod 13 is vertically connected to the connecting platform 12. A plurality of support plates 14 are connected to the support rod 13 along the axial direction of the support rod 13, and one end of the support leg 11 is connected to the connecting platform 12.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, compared with the above embodiments, the difference in this embodiment is that a notch 222 is provided on the support structure 22 in this embodiment, and the notch 222 extends all the way to the through hole 211. The leg 11 can be inserted into the through hole 211 at a predetermined position through the notch 222. In other embodiments, the leg 11 can also be inserted into the through hole 211, and the connecting structure 21 can be moved upward to the predetermined position of the leg 11, thereby achieving the connection between the connecting structure 21 and the leg 11. The notch 222 facilitates the deformation of the through hole 211 of the connecting structure 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the notch 222 extends all the way to the through hole 211. When the shelf 30 is placed on the support 221, the notch 222 can be hidden, improving the overall appearance of the bracket.
