[0002] In modern homes, shoe racks exist to ensure the cleanliness and convenient management of shoes. As society continues to develop and people's requirements for quality of life continue to increase, the necessities for home life are becoming more and more diverse. Household shoe racks still come in a variety of styles and have exquisite appearances.

[0003] However, existing shoe racks have at least the following problems in their specific design: 1. In the production and transportation stage, in order to facilitate transportation, they are usually packaged and transported in a disassembled form. This causes customers to need to perform complicated assembly operations when using them, which is very inconvenient. If they are packaged and transported as finished products, they will occupy a lot of space during transportation, resulting in higher logistics costs.

[0004] 2. The spacing between the shelves of a shoe rack is usually fixed, which means that each shelf is suitable for a certain style of shoe. However, family members usually have a variety of different types and styles of shoes, so the shoe rack cannot meet the actual needs of home life and has poor flexibility in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding shoe rack with adjustable shelf height in order to solve the above problems. Multiple shelves are arranged horizontally between the uprights on both sides through a shelf height adjustment component. The shelf height adjustment component can adjust the position and height of each shelf, so as to make it convenient to adapt the shelf height of each shelf to the actual needs of the customer. See the following description for details.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a folding shoe rack with adjustable shelf height, including uprights and shelves. There are four uprights, each corresponding to one of the four corners of the same rectangle and all vertically arranged. Multiple shelves are horizontally arranged between the uprights on both sides through a shelf height adjustment component. The shelf height adjustment component is used to adjust the position and height of each shelf and to enable the folding operation of the entire shoe rack.

[0008] A support and locking assembly is provided between the two vertical pipes on the same side, so as to lock the shelf in the supported and flat state.

[0009] A spreading and reinforcing component is also installed between the two risers on the same side, which is used to reinforce the risers in the spreading state.

[0010] Preferably, the height adjustment component is configured such that each riser has multiple adjustment holes at the corresponding positions of the shelf panels on each floor, and each adjustment hole on the riser is horizontally aligned. Each adjustment hole aligned with the corresponding shelf panel is fitted with a screw connector in a clearance fit along the horizontal direction. Each shelf panel has a lower skirt that is bent downwards around its lower edge. The inner surface of the lower skirt is horizontally fixed with a fixing nut at the position corresponding to the screw connector. Each screw connector passes through the corresponding lower skirt in a clearance fit and is coaxially threaded with the fixing nut.

[0011] Preferably, each shelf has at least three adjustment holes, and all adjustment holes are waist-shaped through holes.

[0012] Preferably, the outer ends of the screw connectors cannot pass through the adjustment holes, and the outer ends of the screw connectors are provided with internal hexagonal force grooves.

[0013] Preferably, the height adjustment component is characterized in that the riser has multiple mounting holes at the corresponding positions of the shelf panels on each floor, and the mounting holes of each riser are flush with each other in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the mounting holes flush with the corresponding shelf panels are all fitted with rivet screws that are coaxially inserted in the horizontal direction. The lower edge of each shelf panel is bent downwards to form a lower skirt. The inner surface of the lower skirt is fitted with screw fasteners in a clearance fit in the horizontal direction at the positions corresponding to the rivet screws, and the screw fasteners are all coaxially threaded with the corresponding rivet screws.

[0014] Preferably, the inner end of the screw fastener is provided with a cross-shaped force-applying groove.

[0015] Preferably, the outer ends of the rivet screw tubes do not protrude from the outer surface of the corresponding riser.

[0016] Preferably, each of the opening and locking components includes a diagonal brace and a screw support. The diagonal brace is inclinedly arranged on the outside of the front and rear of the two vertical pipes on the same side. The screw support is threadedly inserted into the outside of the vertical pipe at the end of the corresponding diagonal brace. The screw support at the rear position passes through the rear end of the corresponding diagonal brace with a clearance fit. The lower part of the front end of each diagonal brace has a notch. The lower part of the notch is open, and the notch is locked onto the outside of the adjacent screw support with a clearance fit.

[0017] Preferably, each of the expansion and reinforcement components includes a longitudinal support tube and a connecting plate. The longitudinal support tubes are laid horizontally between the tops of the risers on the same side. The connecting plates are fixedly covered on the outer sides of the longitudinal support tubes on both sides. Screw mounting parts are inserted transversely at the front and rear ends of the connecting plates, and the screw mounting parts are inserted into the corresponding risers in a threaded manner.

Furthermore, the presence of a reinforcing support assembly between the front and rear uprights on the same side enhances the stability of the shoe rack when the shelf is in its open, flat position.

[0020] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. In this utility model, multiple layers of storage shelves are arranged horizontally between the uprights on both sides through the layer height adjustment component. The layer height adjustment component can then adjust the position and height of each layer of storage shelves, thereby facilitating the adaptive adjustment of the layer height of each layer of storage shelves according to the actual needs of the customer, making it convenient for the customer to use and improving the flexibility of the shoe rack during use.

[0021] 2. The shelf height adjustment component also has a folding function. The shelf height adjustment component can be used to adjust the shelf from a flat state to a tilted state. Then, by tilting the shelf, the front and rear uprights can be brought closer to each other, thereby realizing the folding operation of the entire shoe rack. This replaces the traditional disassembled form and finished product packaging and transportation method, making transportation and storage easier.

[0022] 3. It is equipped with an opening and locking component. One end of the diagonal support rod of the opening and locking component is constrained by the rear screw support, and the other end of the locking component is locked to the outside of the front screw support. This can lock the shelf in the open and flat state. At the same time, the locking of the shelf in the open and flat state can be released by simply loosening the front screw support and disengaging the locking notch. The locking and unlocking of the shelf in the open and flat state is simple and easy to operate. It is convenient to lock the shelf in the open and flat state for storing shoes, and it is also convenient to fold the shoe rack after releasing the shelf in the open and flat state.

[0023] 4. A support and reinforcement component is installed between the front and rear uprights on the same side. When the shelf is in the open and flat state, the longitudinal support tube of the support and reinforcement component is connected between the front and rear uprights to enhance the support of the uprights in the open state, thereby improving the stability of the shoe rack during use.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0040] See Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a folding shoe rack with adjustable shelf height, including uprights 2 and shelves 3. There are four uprights 2, each corresponding to one of the four corners of the same rectangle and vertically arranged. Multiple shelves 3 are horizontally arranged between the uprights 2 on both sides via a shelf height adjustment component 6. The shelf height adjustment component 6 allows for height adjustment of each shelf 3 and enables the folding operation of the entire shoe rack. Specifically, the shelf height adjustment component 6 has multiple adjustment holes 601 at the corresponding positions of each shelf 3 on the uprights 2, and each adjustment hole 601 on the uprights 2 is horizontally aligned. Screw connectors 602 are inserted laterally through the adjustment holes 601 aligned with the corresponding shelf 3 with a clearance fit. The lower edge of the shelf is bent downwards around all four sides, with a lower skirt 301. The inner surface of the lower skirt 301 is horizontally fixed with a fixing nut 603 at the position corresponding to the screw connector 602. The screw connector 602 passes through the corresponding lower skirt 301 with clearance fit and is coaxially threaded with the fixing nut 603. The purpose of this design is that after loosening the screw connector 602, the shelf 3 can be adjusted from a flat state to an inclined state by rotating the lower skirt 301 around the screw connector 602. The folding operation of the shoe rack is simple and easy to achieve. At the same time, after unscrewing the screw connector 602, the height of the shelf 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment hole 601 corresponding to different positions of the fixing nut 603 and then inserting the screw connector 602 again. The position and height adjustment of the shelf 3 is simple and easy to operate.

[0041] See Figures 7-12 As shown, optionally, the floor height adjustment component 6 specifically comprises: multiple mounting holes 606 are provided on each shelf 3 corresponding to each floor of the riser 2; each mounting hole 606 on the riser 2 is horizontally flush with the corresponding shelf 3; a rivet bolt 604 is coaxially inserted into each mounting hole 606 flush with the corresponding shelf 3; a lower skirt 301 is bent downwards around the lower edge of each shelf 3; screw fasteners 605 are inserted laterally with a clearance fit on the inner surface of the lower skirt 301 at positions corresponding to the rivet bolts 604; and the screw fasteners 605... All screws are coaxially threaded with the corresponding rivet screw tubes 604. The advantage of this design is that after loosening the screw mounting piece 103, the shelf 3 can be adjusted from a flat position to an inclined position by rotating the lower skirt 301 around the screw connector 602. This makes the folding operation of the shoe rack simple and easy to implement. Furthermore, after unscrewing the screw mounting piece 103, the shelf height can be adjusted by adjusting the rivet screw tubes 604 at different heights corresponding to the screw mounting piece 103 and then tightening the screw mounting piece 103 again. This method of adjusting the height of the shelf 3 is simple and easy to operate.

[0042] See Figures 1-12 As shown, a split-lock assembly 5 is assembled between the front and rear vertical pipes 2 on the same side to lock the shelf 3 in a split and flat state. Specifically, the split-lock assembly 5 includes a diagonal brace 502 and a screw support 501. The diagonal brace 502 is inclinedly arranged on the outside between the front and rear vertical pipes 2 on the same side. On the outside of the vertical pipe 2, at the end of the corresponding diagonal brace 502, a screw support 501 is threadedly inserted and inserted laterally. The screw support 501 at the rear position passes laterally through the rear end of the corresponding diagonal brace 502 with a clearance fit. The lower part of the front end of the diagonal brace 502 is... A notch 503 is provided, the lower part of the notch 503 is open, and the notches 503 are all locked to the outside of the adjacent screw support 501 in a clearance fit. The purpose of this setting is that by opening the diagonal support rod 502 of the locking component 5, one end is constrained by the rear screw support 501, and the notch 503 at the other end is locked to the outside of the front screw support 501, the shelf 3 can be locked in the open and flat state. At the same time, the locking of the shelf 3 in the open and flat state can be released by simply loosening the front screw support 501 and disengaging the notch 503. The locking and unlocking of the shelf 3 in the open and flat state is simple and easy to operate.

[0043] See Figures 1-12 As shown, a support and reinforcement assembly 1 is also installed between the front and rear risers 2 on the same side. This assembly is used to reinforce the risers 2 in the open state. Specifically, the support and reinforcement assembly 1 includes a longitudinal support tube 101 and a connecting plate 102. The tops of the risers 2 on the same side are connected by a longitudinal support tube 101. The outer sides of the longitudinal support tubes 101 on both sides are covered with a connecting plate 102. The front and rear ends of the connecting plate 102 are fitted with screw mounting parts 103 in the transverse direction. The screw mounting parts 103 are inserted into the corresponding risers 2 in a threaded manner. The reason for this arrangement is that when the shelf 3 is in the open and flat state, the longitudinal support tube 101 of the support and reinforcement assembly 1 is connected between the front and rear risers 2 to reinforce the risers 2 in the open state.

[0044] See Figures 1-10As shown, the following optimizations were made to the floor height adjustment component 6 and the riser 2. Specifically, for the floor height adjustment component 6, in the first method, optionally, there are at least three adjustment holes 601 corresponding to each shelf 3, and all adjustment holes 601 are oblong through holes, so that each shelf 3 has at least three different height adjustment methods. Also optionally, the outer ends of the screw connectors 602 cannot pass through the adjustment holes 601, and the outer ends of the screw connectors 602 are provided with internal hexagonal force grooves. Preferably, the screw support 501 and the screw mounting 103 are consistent with the specifications of the screw connectors 602, so that the screw connectors 602 can be tightened and loosened with tools such as external hexagonal wrenches. For the second method, optionally, the inner end of the screw fastener 605 is provided with a cross-shaped force groove, so that the screw fastener 605 can be tightened and loosened with tools such as a Phillips screwdriver. Optionally, the outer end of the rivet screw tube 604 does not protrude from the outer surface of the corresponding upright tube 2, so as to hide the rivet screw tube 604 and help improve the overall aesthetics of the shoe rack. Specifically, the upright tube 2 is a flat round tube with plastic plugs 7 installed at both ends. At the rear, several horizontal support tubes 4 are horizontally fixed between the two upright tubes 2. This arrangement firstly allows the ends of the upright tubes 2 to be sealed and protected by the plastic plugs 7, achieving an aesthetic effect, and secondly, it facilitates the increase of the overall stability of the shoe rack by using the horizontal support tubes 4.

[0045] With the above structure, in practical use, multiple layers of shelves 3 are horizontally combined between the uprights 2 on both sides via the shelf height adjustment component 6. The shelf height adjustment component 6 allows for adjustment of the height of each shelf 3, facilitating adaptive adjustment according to the customer's actual needs and improving the flexibility of the shoe rack during use. Furthermore, the shelf height adjustment component 6 also has a folding function, allowing the shelves 3 to be adjusted from a horizontal to a tilted state. This tilting allows the uprights 2 at the front and rear positions to move closer together, enabling the entire shoe rack to be folded. This replaces the traditional disassembled and pre-assembled packaging and transportation methods, facilitating transport and storage. Additionally, the presence of a support and locking component 5 allows one end of the diagonal support rod 502 of the support and locking component 5 to be... The screw support 501 at one end and the notch 503 at the other end lock the shelf 3 in the open and flat state by locking it to the outside of the screw support 501 at the front end. At the same time, the locking of the shelf 3 in the open and flat state can be released by simply loosening the screw support 501 at the front end and disengaging the notch 503. The locking and unlocking of the shelf 3 in the open and flat state is simple and easy to operate. It is convenient to lock the shelf 3 in the open and flat state for storing shoes, and it is also convenient to fold the shoe rack after releasing the shelf 3 in the open and flat state. Since the two upright tubes 2 on the same side are equipped with the expansion reinforcement component 1, when the shelf 3 is in the open and flat state, the longitudinal support tube 101 of the expansion reinforcement component 1 is connected between the front and rear upright tubes 2 to enhance the support of the upright tubes 2 in the open state, thereby improving the stability of the shoe rack when in use.
