Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage racks, and in particular to a novel storage rack fastener. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and the advancement of science, as people's living standards improve, they buy more and more things. Many of these items are not used frequently after purchase, thus requiring storage racks or baskets to hold them. Storage racks and baskets are common small pieces of furniture used for storing items, and there are various styles of storage racks available today.
[0003] When assembling a storage rack, the basket typically needs to be installed onto the support tube. Patent CN200620058384.3 discloses a tube-frame connecting sleeve for connecting storage racks. This sleeve is first fitted onto the support tube using a locking mechanism, then the locking mechanism connects the sleeve to the support tube, and finally the storage rack basket is connected to the locking mechanism. While this achieves the connection between the support tube and the storage rack basket, it requires pre-setting through holes in the support tube and connecting these holes to the locking mechanism. It cannot be used on support tubes without through holes, and the installation process for the locking mechanism is cumbersome, reducing the efficiency of the storage rack installation. Therefore, improvement is necessary. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a new type of shelf fastener that is simple in structure and quick to install.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A novel shelf fastener includes a first fastener and a second fastener. The first and second fasteners engage to form a longitudinal through-hole for accommodating a shelf support tube. Both the first and second fasteners are arc-shaped plates. The top of the first fastener protrudes beyond the top of the second fastener, and a first clamping groove is provided on the side of the protruding part of the first fastener near the longitudinal through-hole. The bottom of the first fastener protrudes beyond the bottom of the second fastener, and a second clamping groove is provided on the side of the protruding part of the first fastener near the longitudinal through-hole. A shelf crossbar is embedded within the first and second clamping grooves. When the shelf support tube is installed in the longitudinal through-hole, the shelf crossbar is clamped between the first fastener and the shelf support tube.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the first and second fasteners is connected by a pin, and the other end of the first and second fasteners is connected by a fastening assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the fastening assembly includes a locking component and a wrench component. One end of the wrench component is connected to a first connecting lug pin located on the outer side of the end of the first locking component. The two sides of the middle part of the wrench component are connected to a pin at one end of the locking component. The other end of the locking component is provided with an installation protrusion, which engages with a snap-fit protrusion located on the outer side of the end of the second locking component.
[0009] Furthermore, the locking component has a clearance hole in the middle, and the end of the wrench component connected to the first connecting ear and the first connecting ear are both located in the clearance hole.
[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second fasteners have mounting grooves on their inner walls near the longitudinal through hole, and positioning holes are provided in the mounting grooves; a friction pad is embedded in the mounting groove, and a positioning protrusion is provided on one side of the friction pad, which is embedded in the positioning hole.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are arranged in a semi-circular shape, and there are at least two shelf crossbars, with the two shelf crossbars respectively embedded in the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the crossbar of the shelf is provided with an arc-shaped curved part, which is embedded in the first clamping groove or the second clamping groove. The curvature of the arc-shaped curved part is adapted to the circumferential curvature of the shelf support tube.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, during the installation of the shelf, the longitudinally arranged shelf support tube is first placed between the first and second fasteners. Then, the curved portions of the two shelf crossbars are respectively inserted into the first clamping groove on the upper inner wall of the first fastener and the second clamping groove on the lower inner wall of the first fastener. Finally, by rotating, the ends of the first and second fasteners are closed and locked using a fastening assembly, thus clamping the shelf support tube within the longitudinal through hole formed by the first and second fasteners. Simultaneously, the curved portion of the shelf crossbar is clamped between the first fastener and the shelf support tube. This design effectively enables rapid assembly between the shelf support tube and the shelf crossbar. Its simple structure and quick installation eliminate the need for pre-drilling through holes in the shelf support tube, reducing processing steps and increasing the versatility of the shelf fasteners. Furthermore, when locking via the locking assembly, the fasteners only require opening and closing a wrench to lock the first and second clips, simplifying the locking process, improving installation efficiency between the shelf basket and support tube, and further enhancing the overall performance of the shelf fasteners.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel shelf fastener, including a first fastener 1 and a second fastener 2. Both the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 are arc-shaped plates. One end of the first fastener 1 is provided with a second connecting ear 106. The second connecting ear 106 extends into the connecting groove 202 provided at one end of the second fastener 2 and is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 202 by a pin. The other ends of the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 are connected by a fastening assembly 7 to form a longitudinal through hole 5 for accommodating the shelf support tube 3.
[0024] The top of the first fastener 1 protrudes beyond the top of the second fastener 2, and a first clamping groove 101 is provided on the inner wall of the side of the protruding part of the first fastener 1 near the longitudinal through hole 5. The bottom of the first fastener 1 protrudes beyond the bottom of the second fastener 2, and a second clamping groove 102 is provided on the inner wall of the side of the protruding part of the first fastener 1 near the longitudinal through hole 5. Both the first clamping groove 101 and the second clamping groove 102 are semi-circular. Each of the holding grooves 102 is fitted with a shelf crossbar 4; the shelf crossbar 4 is part of the storage basket, and there are at least two shelf crossbars 4 in the storage basket, which are respectively set to correspond to the first clamping groove 101 and the second clamping groove 102. The shelf crossbar 4 is provided with an arc-shaped curved part 401 and is fitted into the first clamping groove 101 or the second clamping groove 102 through the arc-shaped curved part 401. The curvature of the arc-shaped curved part 401 is adapted to the circumferential curvature of the shelf support tube 3.
[0025] When the shelf support tube 3 is installed in the longitudinal through hole 5, the shelf support tube 3 is clamped between the first buckle 1 and the second buckle 2, and the arc-shaped curved part 401 of the shelf crossbar 4 is clamped between the first buckle 1 and the shelf support tube 3.
[0026] The first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 are provided with mounting grooves 103 on the inner walls near the longitudinal through hole 5. The mounting grooves 103 are provided with positioning holes 104. A friction pad 6 is embedded in the mounting grooves 103. A positioning protrusion 601 is provided on the outer wall of the friction pad 6. The positioning protrusion 601 is embedded in the positioning hole 104 to improve the installation stability of the friction pad 6.
[0027] The installation design of the friction pad can increase the friction between the first and second fasteners and the outer wall of the shelf support tube, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the shelf fasteners and the shelf support tube, and further improving the effectiveness of this utility model.
[0028] The fastening assembly 7 includes a locking member 72 and a wrench member 71. One end of the wrench member 71 is connected to the first connecting ear 105 pin located on the outer side of the end of the first fastening member 1. The two sides of the middle part of the wrench member 71 are connected to one end of the locking member 72 pin. The other end of the locking member 72 is provided with an installation protrusion 721, which is used to achieve a misaligned engagement connection with the buckling protrusion 201 located on the outer side of the end of the second fastening member 2.
[0029] The locking member 72 has a clearance hole 722 in the middle, and the end of the wrench member 71 connected to the first connecting ear 105 and the first connecting ear 105 are both located in the clearance hole 722.
[0030] During the locking operation, simply open the end of the wrench away from the first connecting ear outwards, move the locking member towards the second locking member, and engage it with the locking protrusion on the outer side of the end of the second locking member through the mounting protrusion. Finally, close the end of the wrench away from the first connecting ear inwards, pulling the locking member and the second locking member towards the end of the first locking member for a tight and limited position, thereby achieving the locking operation between the ends of the first and second locking members. Its structure is simple and convenient to operate, effectively improving the locking efficiency between the first and second locking members.
[0031] When installing the shelf according to this invention, the longitudinally arranged shelf support tube is first placed between the first and second fasteners. Then, the curved portions of the two shelf crossbars are respectively inserted into the first clamping groove on the upper inner wall of the first fastener and the second clamping groove on the lower inner wall of the first fastener. Finally, the ends of the first and second fasteners are closed by rotation and locked by the fastening assembly, so as to clamp the shelf support tube in the longitudinal through hole formed by the first and second fasteners. At the same time, the curved portion of the shelf crossbar is clamped between the first fastener and the shelf support tube. This design effectively enables rapid assembly between the shelf support tube and the shelf crossbar. Its simple structure and quick installation eliminate the need for pre-drilling through holes in the shelf support tube, reducing processing steps and increasing the versatility of the shelf fasteners. Furthermore, when locking via the locking assembly, the fasteners only require opening and closing a wrench to lock the first and second clips, simplifying the locking process, improving installation efficiency between the shelf basket and support tube, and further enhancing the overall performance of the shelf fasteners.
