[0036] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 2 is composed of multiple interconnected connecting rods 3, and a storage tray 52 is provided at the joint of each pair of adjacent connecting rods 3.

[0037] Specifically, support rod 2 adopts a modular splicing design concept, which is ingeniously composed of multiple interconnected connecting rods 3. This not only greatly enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the shelving, allowing users to freely adjust the height and shape of the shelving according to actual space needs, the amount of items to be stored, and personal aesthetic preferences, but also brings great convenience to the transportation, storage, and installation of the product, effectively reducing logistics costs and installation difficulty.

[0038] A storage tray 52 is installed at the joint of each pair of adjacent connecting rods 3. This not only makes full use of the vertical space of the shelf and increases storage capacity, but also provides users with a convenient experience of retrieving items. The storage tray 52 is made of food-grade safe materials, such as high-quality stainless steel or environmentally friendly plastic, ensuring that it is safe and non-toxic when in contact with food, giving users peace of mind.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the connecting rod 3 is provided with an internal thread 33. The design of the internal thread 33 not only provides a solid foundation for the connection between the connecting rod 3 and other components, but also makes the overall appearance of the shelf more concise and smooth through its hidden design, which is in line with the aesthetic trend of modern home furnishing.

[0040] The top of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a first external thread 34 that matches the internal thread 33. The size and shape of the first external thread 34 perfectly match the internal thread 33, ensuring easy alignment during splicing and achieving a quick and stable connection. This not only greatly enhances the stability and durability of the shelf but also brings users an unprecedented level of convenience. During assembly, the user only needs to gently screw the top first external thread 34 of one connecting rod 3 into the bottom internal thread 33 of the other connecting rod 3 to achieve a tight connection, requiring no additional tools and making the operation simple and quick.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a number of tangential grooves 521 are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the tray 52 extending outward from its center.

[0042] Specifically, the upper surface of the storage tray 52 features a series of tangential grooves 521 radiating evenly outward from the center. These grooves 521 are not randomly drawn, but rather designed through precise calculations and a deep integration of ergonomic principles. The width, depth, and spacing of each groove 521 are strictly controlled to maximize the ease of accessing and placing items. When a user gently places their finger on the edge of the groove 521, they will feel just the right amount of friction—neither too stiff to cause hand discomfort nor too smooth to allow items to slip—ensuring that every retrieval and placement is effortless, safe, and reliable.

[0043] The design of these grooves 521 not only adds a unique visual aesthetic to the storage tray 52, but also plays a significant role in practical use. Like precise navigation lines, they guide users to place different types of food or items in designated locations in an orderly manner, making the entire storage tray 52 appear neat and tidy, and easy to see at a glance. Whether for everyday family use or food arrangement at banquets, these grooves 521 help users quickly find the items they need, greatly improving efficiency and user experience.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer periphery of the support base 51 is provided with petal-shaped extension edges 513. The design of the extension edges 513 is inspired by the elegant posture of flowers blooming in nature. Each "petal" is precisely molded and meticulously polished, with smooth and dynamic lines. This not only adds a touch of vivid naturalness to the support base 51, but also cleverly expands its support area, making the entire shelf more stable and less prone to tipping over when placed.

[0045] A circular slider 512 is provided on the support base 51. The circular slider 512 is not only for flexible rotational connection with the upper component (such as the storage tray 52), but also to provide a seamless visual experience, making the entire shelf more stable and quiet when rotating.

[0046] The bottom of the tray 52 is provided with a circular groove 522 that matches the circular slider 511. The size and shape of the circular groove 522 perfectly match the circular slider 512, ensuring a proper fit between the two. When the tray 52 is placed on the support base 51, the circular slider 512 fits snugly into the circular groove 522, forming a connection that is both stable and flexible. With a gentle push, the tray 52 can smoothly rotate along the contact surface between the circular slider 512 and the circular groove 522, making it easy to retrieve food or adjust the display angle, greatly enhancing the convenience and enjoyment of use.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top center of the base 1 is provided with a second external thread 11 that matches the internal thread 33 at the bottom of the connecting rod 3. This allows the second external thread 11 to align with the internal thread 33 at the bottom of the connecting rod 3, and provides just the right amount of tightening force during splicing, ensuring the stability of the connection while avoiding installation difficulties caused by excessive tightness or shaking caused by excessive looseness.

[0048] The presence of the second external thread 11 greatly facilitates the height adjustment of the storage rack. Users simply need to select connecting rods 3 of different lengths or functions according to their actual needs, and connect them to the second external thread 11 on the base 1 by rotation to easily adjust the height of the storage rack. Whether placing the storage rack on a lower cabinet or a higher countertop, it can be easily achieved through simple assembly, meeting the needs of different kitchen spaces and usage scenarios.
