[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0029] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] See Figure 1-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage rack that is easy to manufacture and assemble, including: a top plate 1, a shelf 2, a bottom plate 3, a left side plate 4, a right side plate 5, a U-shaped insert arm 6, and a detachable buckle structure 10.
[0031] The left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the top panel 1 and the bottom panel 3, and the shelf 2 is located between the top panel 1 and the bottom panel 3;
[0032] The left side panel 4, the right side panel 5, and the top panel 1 are connected by a snap-fit structure 10;
[0033] The bottom inner side of the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 5 is provided with a support frame, and the bottom plate 3 is installed on the support frame to realize the assembly between the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 5.
[0034] The lower ends of the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5 are provided with slots 7. The two ends of the U-shaped insert 6 are respectively inserted into the slots 7 of the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5, and the U-shaped insert 6 is fixedly connected to the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5 to realize the detachable assembly between the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5.
[0035] The shelf in this embodiment is a metal shelf. The top plate 1, shelf 2, bottom plate 3, left side plate 4, and right side plate 5 are all made of metal. Traditional metal shelves typically use screws to assemble the various components. While this allows for production, stocking, packaging, and transportation, it is costly and inconvenient to install. This embodiment uses a snap-fit structure 10 to assemble the top plate 1 with the left side plate 4 and right side plate 5, and a U-shaped insert arm 6 to assemble the left side plate 4 and right side plate 5. This makes assembly and disassembly more convenient and quick. Simultaneously, the U-shaped insert arm 6 has high structural strength and, applied to the bottom of the shelf, facilitates assembly between the left and right side plates while providing support and reinforcement, significantly improving the stability of the shelf structure. Compared to a system where the top plate 1 and bottom plate 3 are connected to the side plates via U-shaped insert arms 6, this application only uses U-shaped insert arms on the bottom plate 3. This saves costs while ensuring the stability of the shelf structure, simultaneously achieving cost-effectiveness, stability, and ease of installation.
[0036] Furthermore, the snap-fit structure 10 includes snap holes 101 and snap fasteners 102. Snap holes 101 are located on the top sides of the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5. Snap fasteners 102 are located at both ends of the top panel 1 and are integrally formed with the top panel 1 by stamping. Snap fasteners 102 are detachably snapped into the snap holes 101. When existing metal shelves are assembled using snap-fit structures 10 such as gourd-shaped snap fasteners, the snap fasteners 102 are connected to the panel by riveting, requiring manual labor and machines to rivet the snap fasteners 102 onto the panel one by one, resulting in high labor costs and low efficiency. In contrast, the snap fasteners 102 of the metal shelf in this application are integrally formed with the top panel 1 by stamping, commonly known as butterfly snap fasteners, which can be mass-produced and significantly improve production efficiency.
[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the shapes of the card hole 101 and the buckle 102 are varied and can be set as needed.
[0038] Furthermore, the shelf also includes a shelf connecting buckle 8. The shelf 2 is located between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 3. Several shelf adjustment holes 9 are arranged vertically on the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 5. The shelf 2 is supported on the shelf connecting buckle 8, and the shelf connecting buckle 8 is engaged in the shelf adjustment hole 9 to realize the adjustment of the vertical position of the shelf 2.
[0039] Furthermore, the shelf connecting buckle 8 includes an integrally formed hanging part 81 and a supporting part 82. The hanging part 81 is hung in the shelf adjustment hole 9, and the supporting part 82 is provided with a supporting groove 83. The shelf 2 is hung in the supporting groove 83, and the supporting groove 83 is used to support the shelf 2.
[0040] Furthermore, both the left side panel 4 and the right side panel 5 include a first panel 41, a connecting rod 42, and a second panel 43. The lower end of the first panel 41 has a first connecting hole 44, and the upper end of the second panel 43 has a second connecting hole 45. The upper part of the connecting rod 42 is inserted into the first connecting hole 44, and the lower part of the connecting rod 42 is inserted into the second connecting hole 45. For shelves with multiple layers, the side panels are prone to deformation during transportation due to their height. This application designs the side panels as a separate structure, facilitating storage, packaging, and transportation. When the shelf has fewer layers, the second panel 43 can be used as a single, integrated side panel, and the connecting hole 44 is not required at the upper end of the second panel 43.
[0041] Furthermore, there are two first connecting holes 44, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the first plate 41; there are two second connecting holes 45, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the second plate 43.
[0042] Furthermore, the connecting rod 42 has corresponding fixing holes 46 on the first plate 41 and the second plate 43, and the connecting rod 42 can be assembled with the first plate and the second plate by inserting screws, locking parts and other accessories into the fixing holes 46.
[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
