[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-8 The product storage rack in this embodiment includes a support frame 1, storage compartment units 2 and an extension structure 3. The storage compartment units 2 include a first storage compartment 21, a second storage compartment 22, a third storage compartment 23 and a fourth storage compartment 24.
[0027] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-8 Based on Embodiment 1, the extended structure 3 includes a guide plate 31, a frame guide rail 32, a compartment guide rail 33, a bracket frame 34, a connector 35, an electric push rod 36, and a locking component 37. The guide plate 31 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the support frame 1, the frame guide rail 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1, the compartment guide rail 33 is fixedly installed on both sides of compartment 23 and compartment 24, the bracket frame 34 is fixedly installed on both sides of compartment 22, compartment 23 and compartment 24, the connector 35 is fixedly installed on both sides of compartment 24, the electric push rod 36 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1 and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 36 is fixedly connected to the connector 35, and the locking component 37 is installed on the support frame 1.
[0028] The bracket frame 34 includes a rectangular frame 341 and two guide wheels 342. The guide wheels 342 are rotatably mounted on the rectangular frame 341. There are six bracket frames 34. The rectangular frames 341 on both sides of the fourth compartment 24 are rotatably mounted on the guide plate 31. The rectangular frames 341 on both sides of the third compartment 23 are rotatably mounted on the compartment guide rails 33 on both sides of the fourth compartment 24 and on the frame guide rails 32 on the inner wall of the supporting frame 1. The rectangular frames 341 on both sides of the second compartment 22 are rotatably mounted on the compartment guide rails 33 on both sides of the third compartment 23 and on the frame guide rails 32 on the inner wall of the supporting frame 1. By moving the fourth compartment 24, the third compartment 23 is moved through the compartment guide rails 33. The movement of the third compartment 23, in turn, moves the second compartment 22 through the compartment guide rails 33, thus achieving a stepped extension or contraction.
[0029] In addition, the rectangular frame 341 includes a three-cavity frame, and two guide wheels 342 are rotatably installed in the cavities on both sides of the rectangular frame 341. The frame guide rail 32 includes a first guide rail 321 and an anti-detachment block 322. The anti-detachment block 322 is fixedly installed at one end of the first guide rail 321 and extends through to the middle cavity of the rectangular frame 341. There are four frame guide rails 32. The guide wheels 342 roll on the frame guide rails 32 and the cargo rack guide rails 33 to reduce the friction generated by movement.
[0030] It should be noted that the cargo rack guide rail 33 includes a second guide rail 331 and two abutment blocks 332. The two abutment blocks 332 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second guide rail 331. One abutment block 332 penetrates into the cavity in the middle of the rectangular frame 341. There are four cargo rack guide rails 33. By using the abutment blocks 332 and the anti-detachment blocks 322 to penetrate into the cavity in the middle of the rectangular frame 341, the maximum distance of movement of the cargo rack guide rail 33 is limited.
[0031] Furthermore, the locking component 37 includes a locking cylinder 371 and a double-bar handle 372, which are fixedly connected. A circular groove is provided on the support frame 1, through which the locking cylinder 371 passes. This allows the double-bar handle 372 to be pressed and the locking cylinder 371 to be pushed towards the fourth compartment 24. Additionally, rotating the double-bar handle 372 can drive the locking cylinder 371 to rotate.
[0032] It should be added that one end of the locking cylinder 371 is provided with two hooks, and the inside of the connector 35 is provided with a slot. The slot is adapted to the two hooks respectively. The hooks of the locking cylinder 371 are engaged with the slots of the connector 35, and the locking cylinder 371 is rotated so that the hooks are engaged inside the slots, thereby fixing the position of the fourth compartment 24.
[0033] In addition, the first storage compartment 21 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the support frame 1. The first storage compartment 21, the second storage compartment 22, the third storage compartment 23 and the fourth storage compartment 24 are arranged from top to bottom. The storage compartments are arranged in layers from top to bottom. The bottom storage compartment drives the upper layer to move synchronously, forming a "one-to-many" linkage structure. After unfolding, it forms a special staircase structure.
[0034] Finally, another implementation of the storage compartment guide rail 33 includes a second guide rail 331 and two abutment blocks 332. The left end of the second guide rail 331 is fixedly connected to one of the abutment blocks 332, and the right end of the second guide rail 331 is slidably connected to the other abutment block 332. A linear actuator is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second guide rail 331. The telescopic end of the linear actuator is fixedly connected to the abutment block 332 on the right side. The linear actuator can be used to control the right abutment block 332 to move out of the bracket frame 34, thereby contacting the linkage between the storage compartment on this layer and the storage compartment on the upper layer, thus providing a way to achieve linkage extension that only controls the storage compartment on this layer and the bottom storage compartment.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution,
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0037] This storage rack for product storage, when products need to be stored or retrieved, has four compartments 2 from top to bottom: compartment 1 21 is fixed, and compartments 22, 23, 24 are movable. By activating the electric push rod 36 and moving the connecting piece 35 to one side, compartment 24 slides on the guide plate 31. The sliding compartment 24 then moves compartment 23 via the compartment guide rails 33 on both sides. The moving compartment 23, in turn, moves compartment 22 via the compartment guide rails 33 on both sides. This controls compartments 22, 23, and 24 to extend and form a stepped shape, making it easier for staff to access compartment 23 and store or retrieve products from compartment 21.
[0038] After the storage and retrieval operation is completed, the electric push rod 36 is activated and controls the second storage compartment 22, the third storage compartment 23, and the fourth storage compartment 24 to retract sequentially into the support frame 1. Then, by pressing the locking component 37 towards the fourth storage compartment 24, one end of the locking cylinder 371 is inserted into the slot inside the connector 35. The double lever handle 372 is rotated and the hook of the locking cylinder 371 is rotated and engaged with the connector 35, thereby fixing the position of the fourth storage compartment 24.
