Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom products technology, specifically a folding storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] As storage racks become increasingly common in households, and the variety of household items also increases, there is a need for a storage rack to organize and store these items. Traditional wall-mounted shelves, which are fixed to the wall, cannot be folded and have nowhere to be placed when not in use, thus taking up a lot of space. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding storage rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding shelf, comprising a base plate, a shelf platform, and tension rivets; side plates are provided on both sides of the base plate; wherein, one side plate extends to the shelf platform, and a pivot pin seat is provided below the side plate; tension rivets located on both sides of the shelf platform pass through the shelf platform and connect with the corresponding pivot pin seats, so that the shelf platform can rotate below the base plate; after the shelf platform is unfolded, the upper surface of the inner side of the shelf platform fits between the pivot pin seat and the base plate.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the axle pin seat is located on the inner side of the platform, and a damping pad is provided between the opposing surfaces of the platform and the axle pin seat.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it further includes a fixing plate and a connector, through which the base plate is fixed on the fixing plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the base plate is also provided with a hanging hole, and the hanging hole is hooked on the connector.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the fixing plate is further provided with a socket, and the connector is adapted to the socket through the provided insert plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the fixing plate is also provided with mounting holes.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are: 1. After the base plate is fixed on the wall, the shelf is rotated and installed on the base plate. Therefore, the shelf can be rotated upward until the upper surface of the shelf is parallel to the wall, so as to reduce the space occupied by the shelf and solve the problem of large space occupation caused by the non-foldable shelf in the prior art.
[0011] 2. Because the side panels protrude outwards, once the stretch rivets install the shelf onto the bottom plate, the shelf can rotate smoothly in opposite directions. Furthermore, when the shelf is fully extended, its inner surface rests against the bottom surface of the side panels, ensuring a stable and reliable position after extension and preventing items from falling due to continued rotation. In particular, the connection and rotation of the pivot pin to the shelf requires only one stretch rivet, resulting in fewer parts, material savings, and cost reduction. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a folding shelf, including a base plate 1, a shelf 2, and tension rivets 4; both sides of the base plate 1 are provided with side plates 6; wherein, one side of the side plate 6 extends to the side of the shelf 2, and a pivot pin seat 7 is provided below the side plate 6; the tension rivets 4 located on both sides of the shelf 2 pass through the shelf 2 and connect with the corresponding pivot pin seat 7, so that the shelf 2 can rotate below the base plate 1; after the shelf 2 is unfolded, the upper surface of the inner side of the shelf 2 is attached to the pivot pin seat 7 and the base plate 1.
[0020] In summary, once the base plate 1 is fixed to the wall, the shelf 2, being rotatably mounted on the base plate 1, can be rotated upwards until its upper surface is parallel to the wall, thus folding it away and reducing its space occupation. This solves the problem of large space occupation caused by the non-foldable shelf 2 in existing technologies. Because the side plate 6 protrudes outwards, once the tension rivet 4 installs the shelf 2 onto the base plate 1, it allows for smooth rotation towards the opposite side. Furthermore, when the shelf 2 is fully unfolded, its inner surface rests against the bottom surface of the side plate 6, ensuring a stable and reliable position and preventing items from falling due to continued rotation. In particular, the connection and rotation of the pivot pin seat and shelf can be completed with just one tension rivet, resulting in fewer parts, material savings, and cost reduction.
[0021] In addition, the side plate 6 is formed on both sides of the base plate 1 by sheet metal bending process, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the side plate 6 and the base plate 1, and thus reduce equipment costs; at the same time, the shaft pin seat 7 is also formed on the side plate 6 by sheet metal process, which can further reduce the processing cost of the shaft pin seat 7.
[0022] Furthermore, the pivot pin seat 7 is located on the inner side of the platform 2, and a damping pad 10 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the platform 2 and the pivot pin seat 7; therefore, the damping pad 10 can be used to compensate for the gap between the pivot pin seat 7 and the platform 2, reducing the shaking that occurs when the platform 2 rotates.
[0023] Based on the above scheme, it also includes a fixing plate 5 and a connector 3. The base plate 1 is fixed to the fixing plate 5 by the connector 3. Since the fixing plate 5 is set, it is first connected to the wall, and then the base plate 1 is assembled to the fixing plate 5 by the connector 3. In this way, the fixing plate 5 is installed first and then the base plate 1 is connected to the fixing plate 5, so that the base plate 1 and the shelf 2 can be installed and removed as a whole.
[0024] Furthermore, since the base plate 1 is also provided with a hanging hole 9, and the hanging hole 9 is hooked on the connector 3, it is even more convenient to take the platform 2 and the base plate 1 off and put on as a whole.
[0025] Furthermore, since the fixing plate 5 is also provided with a socket 8, and the connector 3 is adapted to the socket 8 through the provided insert plate 12, the connection between the connector 3 and the fixing plate 5 is simple and convenient. In order to ensure a reliable connection between the insert plate 12 and the socket 8, the insert plate 12 and the socket 8 adopt an interference fit. During assembly, the connector 3 is tapped to make the insert plate 12 insert into the socket 8; the connector 3 can also be welded to the fixing plate 5 before leaving the factory.
[0026] To further meet the actual needs of users, the fixing plate 5 is also provided with mounting holes 11. When the shelf 2 needs to hang heavy objects, it can be connected to the wall expansion bolts through the mounting holes 11 to fix the fixing plate 5 to the wall. When no heavy objects are placed, the fixing plate 5 can be glued to the wall.
[0027] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
