[0035] Reference Figures 1-13An expandable display rack includes a shelf 1 and support rods 2. The support rods 2 are detachably mounted above and below the shelf 1, forming a display platform from the shelf 1 and multiple support rods 2 mounted at its bottom. The support rods 2 are fixedly connected to the shelf 1 by bolts. In the display platform, the support rods 2 are located below the shelf 1, but support rods 2 can also be installed above the shelf 1, meaning the upper and lower display platforms can be fixedly connected to each other, improving the stability of the entire display rack. Mounting fittings 3 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the shelf 1, and an expansion plate 4 is provided. The mounting fittings 3 can be rotated... The display rack is equipped with a rotating shaft 5 and a limiting mechanism to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft 5. Under the action of the limiting mechanism, the rotating shaft 5 can be prevented from rotating on its own due to force during use. A mounting base 6 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 5. A first slot 7 is provided on the mounting base 6. One end of the extension plate 4 is detachably embedded in the first slot 7, and the other end extends outward. An extension platform 21 is fixedly provided on the side of the shelf 1 adjacent to the fitting 3. The extension platform 21 can be connected to the shelf 1 by bolt locking or glue. The extension platform 21 has a second slot 8 with the same shape as the first slot 7 for embedding the extension plate 4. Display panel 4, in this configuration, firstly, can stand vertically on both sides of the shelf 1, with the extension panel 4 and shelf 1 staggered at a 90° angle. The extension panel 4 then acts as a guardrail on both sides of the shelf 1 to protect the goods and prevent them from falling off. This is the first form of the display rack, suitable for displaying more valuable items. Secondly, by controlling the rotating shaft 5 through the limiting mechanism, the extension platform 21 can be flipped downwards until it is parallel to and on the same plane as the shelf 1, thus forming new display platforms on both sides of the shelf 1. This is the second form of the display rack, which expands the display area. The display area is used to display larger items or items sold in sets. Finally, the extension plate 4 can be separated from both sides of the shelf 1 by detaching from the first slot 7 and then embedded into the second slot 8 on the extension platform 21. At this time, the extension plate 4 and the shelf 1 are still on the same plane, but the extension plate 4 is located in front of the shelf 1. That is, when the item is placed on the shelf 1, the accompanying gift or related items of the item can be placed on the extension plate 4 in front of it. This is the third form of the display rack, which is used to display items that come with a gift after purchase or items that are sold together with related items.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the merchant can add an extension platform 21 with a second slot 8 to the back of the shelf 1 as needed. Then, the extension plates 4 on both sides of the shelf 1 can be connected to the shelf 1 one after the other. The two extension plates 4 can be symmetrically distributed on the same straight line or staggered symmetrically distributed. Furthermore, one extension plate 4 can be placed on one side of the shelf 1 and the other extension plate 4 can be placed on one side of the shelf 1. Alternatively, extension plates 4 that are not used by other display platforms can be removed and assembled with the above configuration. With this configuration, a shelf 1 can be displayed with up to six extension plates 4, further enriching the display style of the display rack.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The limiting mechanism includes a telescopic sleeve 9 and a limiting member 10. The telescopic sleeve 9 is fixed to the rotating shaft 5, with the other end extending and penetrating to the outside of the assembly 3. The limiting member 10 is fixed to the end of the telescopic sleeve 9 facing the outside of the assembly. The assembly 3 also has a first limiting groove 11 and a second limiting groove 12 for engaging the limiting member 10. The first limiting groove 11 and the second limiting groove 12 are perpendicularly distributed with the telescopic sleeve 9 as the intersection point. With this arrangement, when the limiting member 10 engages with the first limiting groove 11 or the second limiting groove 12, the limiting member 10 will abut against the assembly 3 and cannot rotate. That is, the rotating shaft 5 cannot rotate at this time, allowing the mounting base 6 to remain in place during the use of the display rack. While maintaining the set orientation, when it is necessary to rotate the shaft 5, the limiting member 10 is slid outward to the outside of the mounting part 3, so that the telescopic sleeve 9 extends until the limiting member 10 is completely disengaged from the first limiting groove 11 or the second limiting groove 12. Then the limiting member 10 can be rotated to drive the shaft 5 to adjust the orientation of the mounting base 6. Finally, the limiting member 10 is pushed back into the first limiting groove 11 or the second limiting groove 12 to fix the shaft 5. When the limiting member 10 is engaged with the first limiting groove 11, the extension plate 4 is vertically distributed with the shelf 1. When the limiting member 10 is engaged with the second limiting groove 12, the extension plate 4 is parallel to the shelf 1 and is on the same plane.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6A pin seat 13 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the shelf 1, and a hollow handle seat 14 is fixedly provided on the extension plate 4, with one end communicating with the outside. A bearing member 15 is slidably arranged inside the handle seat 14. When the extension plate 4 and the shelf 1 are distributed parallel to each other, one end of the bearing member 15 can be detachably inserted into the pin seat 13. With this arrangement, when the extension plate 4 is vertically standing on both sides of the shelf 1, the bearing member 15 is hidden inside the handle seat 14. At this time, the handle seat 14 can act as a handle, making it convenient for merchants to move the display rack with the handle seat 14 as the force application point. When the extension plate 4 and the shelf 1 are distributed parallel to each other, if it is necessary to place a heavy product on the extension plate 4, the bearing member 15 can be slid out of the handle seat 14 and embedded into the pin seat 13 to play a load-bearing role. This not only improves the stability of the display rack when heavy objects are placed, but also shares the pressure with the mounting base 6, the pivot 5 and the limiting member 10, reducing the wear caused by bearing heavy objects, thereby extending the service life of the display rack.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 14 The support member 15 has several sliding grooves 16 on both sides. Two symmetrical sliding grooves 16 form a group. A return spring 17 is installed in the sliding groove 16. One end of the return spring 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 16, and the other end is fixedly provided with a retaining bead 18. The handle seat 14 has a corresponding locking slot 19. The retaining bead 18 is engaged with the locking slot 19. With this configuration, when the retaining bead 18 is engaged with the locking slot 19, the support member 15 cannot move, thus preventing the support member 15 from falling out of the handle seat 14 or from accidentally moving during use and failing to provide stable load-bearing function. When in use, press the retaining bead 18 to move it towards the bottom of the slide groove 16 to disengage from the latch 19. Once the retaining bead 18 is completely disengaged from the latch 19, the carrier 15 can slide until the retaining bead 18 moves to another latch 19. The return spring 17 will then return the retaining bead 18 back into the latch 19 to fix the carrier 15. At the same time, during the sliding process of the carrier 15, the retaining bead 18 will continuously press against the inner wall of the handle seat 14 under the action of the return spring 17, thereby playing a damping role and preventing the carrier 15 from sliding too fast and directly disengaging from the handle seat 14.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13Both the first slot 7 and the second slot 8 are "T" shaped. This design allows the expansion plate 4 to be easily connected to the mounting base 6 and the expansion platform 21, reducing assembly and adjustment time and improving work efficiency. At the same time, it can enhance the stability of the connection and reduce the probability of vibration at the connection between the expansion plate 4 and the mounting base 6 or the expansion platform 21 during use. Finally, the "T" shaped fitting method can withstand greater pressure and extend the time before the connection between the expansion plate 4 and the mounting base 6 or the expansion platform 21 deforms due to long-term use.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 14 A groove 20 is provided on the outer side of the handle base 14. This design adds a force point to the handle base 14, making it easier for the user to apply force and move it.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the initial form of the display rack is the first form. In this form, the extension plates 4 stand vertically on both sides of the shelf 1, perpendicularly intersecting with it. When goods are placed on the shelf 1, the extension plates 4 on both sides act as guardrails to prevent goods from falling off the shelf 1. To switch the display rack to the second form, first slide the limiting member 10 out of the first limiting groove 11. At this time, the telescopic sleeve 9 extends. Once the limiting member 10 is completely disengaged from the first limiting groove 11, it can be rotated 90° away from the shelf 1, that is, the rotating shaft 5 and the mounting base 6 can be rotated 90°. This will cause the extension plate 4 connected to the mounting base 6 to flip. Then, the limiting member 10 is pushed into the second limiting groove 12, and the telescopic sleeve 9 retracts, thus fixing the limiting member 10. The rotating shaft 5 cannot rotate, and the extension plate 4 is placed parallel to the shelf 1. The two sides of the display board 1 increase the display space of the display rack. When the display rack needs to be switched to the third form, the extension plate 4 is slid out along the direction of the first slot 7, so that the extension plate 4 is separated from the mounting base 6, and then slid into the second slot 8 to engage with the extension platform 21. At this time, the extension plate 4 and the display board 1 are horizontally distributed but located on the front side of the display board 1. If heavy objects are placed, press the locking bead 18 on the bottom handle seat 14 of the extension plate 4. When the locking bead 18 is completely separated from the latch 19, slide the bearing member 15 inside the handle seat 14 to engage with the pin seat 13. At the same time, the locking bead 18 moves to engage with another latch 19. At this time, the bearing member 15 can play a load-bearing role at the bottom of the display board 1 and the extension plate 4, improving the stability of the display rack. Through the switching of the above three forms, the display rack has more display styles.
