Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding honeycomb paper furniture technology, specifically, a foldable insert shelf. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, the support legs of shelves are generally non-removable or inconvenient to remove; for example, the support legs are permanently fixed to the bottom of the shelf or fixed to the bottom of the shelf with bolts. Because the fixed position of the support legs is fixed, these shelves can only be set up in spacious and flat places, which limits the shelf's adaptability to the environment. At the same time, the fixed position of the support legs also limits the ways in which people can use the shelf surface. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design a foldable insert shelf to solve the problems of limited environmental adaptability and / or limited utilization of the shelf surface.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a foldable insert shelf, including a shelf and support columns, wherein at least two support columns are provided; the shelf has a top surface for supporting objects and an edge surrounding the top surface; all the support columns are arranged sequentially around the shelf, and the support columns removably support the bottom surface of the shelf through a support surface provided on their top to maintain the balance of the shelf; wherein, the support column includes a folded honeycomb paper core, which can be stretched or folded along its length to adjust the length of the support column and the support surface.
[0006] When using the above-mentioned structure, since the support column can be removed from the bottom of the shelf, the support position of the support column on the shelf can be adjusted. This avoids uneven areas on a flat surface. Because the support column includes a folded honeycomb paper core, the length of the support column and its supporting surface can be adjusted by stretching and folding the folded honeycomb paper core. Therefore, we can adjust the length of the supporting surface according to the actual position of the support column on the shelf, thereby adjusting the size of the supporting area and the supporting surface to ensure that the shelf can remain balanced and stably supported, thus improving the shelf's ability to adapt to environmental changes.
[0007] At the same time, since the support columns can be removed from the bottom of the shelf, they can be placed at different positions on the shelf according to the needs of using the top surface. This ensures that there are no support columns in the area to be used or that the area is far from the edge of the area. In this way, when a person uses the area of the shelf, their legs are less likely to be blocked by the support columns, thus solving the problem of limited use of the top surface of the shelf to a certain extent.
[0008] Because the foldable honeycomb paper core can be stretched or folded, the support column can be folded and stored away to reduce space occupation and make it easy to move when not in use.
[0009] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is provided: a finger is connected to one side of the support column in the width direction, the tip of the finger is held above the support surface and extends toward the other side of the support column in the width direction so that a gap is formed between the finger and the support surface, and the edge portion is located in the gap.
[0010] With the above-described structure, one end of the finger is connected to the support column, and the other end is suspended above the support surface. When the edge of the shelf extends into the gap, the finger and the support surface can restrict the vertical movement of the shelf, effectively preventing it from tipping over due to uneven pressure. Simultaneously, with one end of the finger connected to the support column, when the edge of the shelf extends into the gap, the end of the finger connected to the support column can restrict the shelf from moving horizontally outward to that side, effectively preventing the shelf from shifting and becoming unstable.
[0011] To further improve the present invention, the following configuration is adopted: the tip of the finger is located between one side and the other side in the width direction of the support column.
[0012] When the above-mentioned structure is adopted, the size of the finger is smaller than the size of the support column in the width direction, and the tip of the finger does not extend beyond the support column. In this way, while the finger cooperates with the support surface to limit the position of the shelf, it can be ensured that the finger does not occupy too much space on the top surface of the shelf, and that the top surface of the shelf has more usable area.
[0013] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is provided: the support surface is provided with an upper limit groove that extends along the length of the support column and is sealed at both ends. A first limiting member is detachably inserted into the upper limit groove, and the two ends of the first limiting member abut against the corresponding ends of the upper limit groove to prevent them from closing.
[0014] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is provided: the bottom surface of the support column for supporting the ground is provided with a lower limiting groove that extends along the length of the support column and is sealed at both ends. A second limiting member is detachably inserted into the lower limiting groove, and the two ends of the second limiting member respectively abut against the corresponding ends of the lower limiting groove to prevent them from closing together.
[0015] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the second limiting member and the first limiting member are offset in the height direction.
[0016] When the above-mentioned structure is adopted, that is, the first limiting member and the second limiting member are set one above the other and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the support column, the stretching degree of the support column in the length direction can be well maintained, ensuring the support capacity of the support column.
[0017] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the support column also includes end plates that cover and fix the two end faces of the folded honeycomb paper core in the length direction.
[0018] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is adopted: two support columns are provided, and the two support columns are respectively provided at opposite ends of the shelf.
[0019] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is adopted: at least four support columns are provided, the shelf is a rectangular plate, and each edge of the shelf is equipped with at least one support column.
[0020] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the support columns on opposite sides of the shelf are staggered.
[0021] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0022] (1) In this utility model, since the support column can be removed from the bottom surface of the shelf, the support position of the support column on the shelf can be adjusted, and uneven areas on the flat ground can be avoided. Since the support column includes a folded honeycomb paper core, the length of the support column and its set support surface can be adjusted by stretching and folding the folded honeycomb paper core. Therefore, we can adjust the length of the support surface according to the actual position of the support column on the shelf, thereby adjusting the size of the support area and the support surface, ensuring that the shelf can be kept balanced and stably supported, so as to improve the shelf's ability to adapt to environmental changes.
[0023] (2) In this utility model, since the support column can be removed from the bottom surface of the shelf, the support column can be supported at different positions of the shelf according to the needs of using the top surface, so that there is no support column or the area to be used is far away from the edge of the area. In this way, when a person uses the area of the shelf, his / her legs are at least not blocked by the support column and thus the use of the relevant area is not affected. This solves the problem of limited use of the top surface of the shelf to a certain extent.
[0024] (3) In this utility model, the foldable honeycomb paper core can be stretched or folded. When not in use, the support column can be folded and stored to reduce space occupation and facilitate relocation. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Folding honeycomb paper furniture (also known as accordion paper furniture) on the market can solve the problem of inflexible furniture. Folding honeycomb paper furniture is mainly composed of foldable honeycomb paper cores, which are made of multiple relatively soft cardboard layers glued together. Each pair of cardboard layers is glued together to form multiple honeycomb columns arranged sequentially and at intervals along the width of the paper. The honeycomb columns extend along the length of the paper, running vertically, giving the appearance a honeycomb texture and striped texture. For example, the honeycomb structure disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN211242475U is a device using a honeycomb structure material. Due to its structural characteristics, honeycomb paper can be stretched and unfolded perpendicular to the honeycomb columns when in use or folded and stored perpendicular to the honeycomb columns when not in use, making flexible use of indoor space, and therefore is very popular with consumers. The stretched length of the honeycomb paper core is mainly determined by the number of paper pairs (i.e., the number of cardboard pairs that make up the honeycomb columns).
[0040] On the one hand, this utility model provides a foldable insert shelf, which is specifically configured with the following structure:
[0041] The foldable shelf includes a shelf 10 and a support column 20. The shelf 10 is used for display and / or for human use to perform certain operations. The shelf 10 and the support column 20 are detachably connected, so that the support column 20 can be easily removed from the shelf 10 and moved to another location on the shelf 10 and detachably reconnected thereto.
[0042] The shelf 10 is equipped with at least two support columns 20, each of which independently engages with the bottom surface of the shelf 10 to stably support the shelf 10.
[0043] In addition to providing a bottom surface that mates with the support column 20, the shelf 10 also provides a top surface 11 for supporting objects and an edge 12 surrounding the top surface 11. The shelf 10 can be polygonal, circular, elliptical, crescent-shaped, flower-shaped, etc. The thickness and material of the shelf 10 are not limited here.
[0044] All support columns 20 Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the support columns 20 are arranged near the edge 12 of the shelf 10 and sequentially around the shelf 10. The arrangement of the support columns 20 can be adjusted according to the specific number of support columns 20 and the shape of the shelf 10, so as to ensure that the shelf 10 can be stably supported by the support columns 20.
[0045] The top of the support column 20 is provided with a support surface 21. The shape of the support surface 21 is adapted to the shape of the bottom surface of the shelf 10. Typically, the support surface 21 is flat, and the bottom surface of the shelf 10 is also flat. The support column 20 removably supports the bottom surface of the shelf 10 through the support surface 21 on its top to maintain the balance of the shelf 10. There is no connecting structure between the support surface 21 of the support column 20 and the bottom surface of the shelf 10. The shelf 10 is connected and supported when placed on the support surface 21 of the support column 20.
[0046] The support column 20 can be stretched or folded along its length to adjust its length. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the support column 20 includes a folded honeycomb paper core 201, which can be stretched or folded along its length to adjust the length of the support column 20 and the support surface 21. The degree of unfolding of the support column 20 includes... Figure 2 The degree of expansion shown and Figure 3 The degree of expansion shown; among which, Figure 3 The support column 20 is in a folded state with its unfolded extent at 0 degrees. Figure 1 The support column 20 is 100% deployed, meaning it is in the deployed state. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support column 20, which is in an intermediate state, is in the degree of expansion.
[0047] In this embodiment, the foldable shelf platform allows the support column 20 to be removed from the bottom surface of the shelf 10, making the support position of the support column 20 on the shelf 10 adjustable. This avoids uneven areas on a flat surface. Since the support column 20 includes a folded honeycomb paper core 201, the length of the support column 20 and its supporting surface 21 can be adjusted by stretching and folding the folded honeycomb paper core 201. Therefore, we can adjust the length of the supporting surface 21 according to the actual position of the support column 20 on the shelf 10, thereby adjusting the size of the supporting area and the supporting surface to ensure that the shelf 10 can remain balanced and stably supported, thus improving the shelf's ability to adapt to environmental changes. Meanwhile, since the support column 20 can be removed from the bottom surface of the shelf 10, the support column 20 can be supported at different positions on the shelf 10 according to the needs of using the top surface 11, so that there is no support column 20 in the area to be used or it is far away from the edge of the area. In this way, when a person uses the area of the shelf 10, their legs are unlikely to be blocked by the support column 20, thus affecting the use of the relevant area. This solves the problem of limited use of the top surface of the shelf to a certain extent.
[0048] In this embodiment, the foldable insert shelf can be stretched or folded because the foldable honeycomb paper core 201 can be stretched or folded. When not in use, the support column 20 can be folded for storage to reduce space occupation and facilitate relocation.
[0049] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, a slot 23 is provided at the top of the support column 20, and the support column 20 can clamp the shelf 10 through the slot 23 to restrict the movement of the shelf 10.
[0050] like Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the finger 22 extends to a root and a tip at its two ends in the extension direction. One side of the support column 20 in the width direction connects to the root of the finger 22. The finger 22 extends upward from the root to above the support surface 21 and then extends away from the root along the width direction of the support column 20, so that the tip of the finger 22 remains above the support surface 21 and extends towards the other side in the width direction of the support column 20. The gap between the finger 22 and the support surface 21 forms a slit 23.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, when the shelf 10 and the support column 20 are connected in place, a portion of the edge 12 of the shelf 10 is located in the gap 23, and the bottom surface of the shelf 10 is supported by the support surface 21 of the support column 20. The edge of the shelf 10 is preferably as follows... Figure 1 It rests against the base of the finger section 22 as shown to completely prevent the shelf 10 from moving outward.
[0052] In this embodiment, one end (root end) of the finger 22 is connected to the support column 20, and the other end (tip) is suspended above the support surface 21. When the edge 12 of the shelf 10 extends into the gap 23, the finger 22 and the support surface 21 can restrict the vertical movement of the shelf 10 in the vertical direction, which can effectively prevent the shelf 10 from tipping over due to uneven pressure. At the same time, one end of the finger 22 is connected to the support column 20. In this way, when the edge 12 of the shelf 10 extends into the gap 23, the end of the finger 22 connected to the support column 20 can restrict the shelf 10 from moving horizontally outward to that side, which can effectively prevent the shelf 10 from shifting and becoming unstable.
[0053] The gap between the finger portion 22 and the support surface 21 is preferably close to the thickness of the shelf 10 and larger than the thickness of the shelf 10, so as to facilitate the insertion of the shelf 10 into the gap 23.
[0054] In some embodiments, the length of the finger 22 of the support column 20 is less than the width of the support surface 21, i.e., as shown below. Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the tip of the finger 22 is located between one side and the other side of the support column 20 in the width direction. Thus, in the width direction of the support column 20, the size of the finger 22 is smaller than the size of the support column 20, and the tip of the finger 22 does not extend beyond the support column 20. Thus, as... Figure 1 As shown, while the finger 22 cooperates with the support surface 21 to limit the position of the shelf 10, the area of the bottom surface of the shelf 10 supported by the support surface 21 is smaller than the area of the top surface 11 of the shelf 10 covered by the finger 22. This ensures that the finger 22 does not occupy too much space on the top surface 11 of the shelf 10, and ensures that the top surface 11 of the shelf 10 has more usable area.
[0055] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the support surface 21 of the support column 20 is provided with an upper limit groove 24, which extends along the length of the support column 20 and is sealed at both ends. A first limiting member 26 is detachably inserted into the upper limit groove 24, and the two ends of the first limiting member 26 respectively abut against the corresponding ends of the upper limit groove 24 to prevent the two ends of the first limiting member 26 from coming together.
[0056] When the first limiting member 26 is inserted into the upper limit groove 24, the first limiting member 26 should not protrude from the support surface 21 of the support column 20.
[0057] The first limiting component 26 can be like Figure 6 As shown, it is pulled out from the upper limit slot 24. To facilitate the insertion and removal of the first limiting member 26, the area above the upper limit slot 24 should be open, i.e., there should be no other structure that can prevent the first limiting member 26 from being completely pulled out of the upper limit slot 24.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 26 is a rod; in other embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting member 26 is a plate. When the first limiting member 26 is a plate, the groove width of the upper limiting groove 24 is slightly larger than the plate width of the first limiting member 26. When the bottom edge of the first limiting member 26 is in contact with the bottom of the upper limiting groove 24, the top edge of the first limiting member 26 is flush with the groove edge of the upper limiting groove 24.
[0059] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the support column 20 for supporting the ground has a lower limiting groove 25. The lower limiting groove 25 extends along the length of the support column 20 and is sealed at both ends. A second limiting member 27 is detachably inserted into the lower limiting groove 25. The two ends of the second limiting member 27 abut against the corresponding ends of the lower limiting groove 25 to prevent the two ends of the second limiting member 27 from closing together.
[0060] When the second limiting member 27 is inserted into the lower limiting groove 25, the second limiting member 27 should not protrude from the bottom surface of the support column 20 so that the support column 20 can be stably supported on the ground.
[0061] The second limiting member 27 can be like Figure 6 It is pulled downward from the lower limit groove 25 as shown.
[0062] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 27 is a rod; in other embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting member 27 is a plate. When the second limiting member 27 is a plate, the groove width of the lower limiting groove 25 is slightly larger than the plate width of the second limiting member 27. When the top edge of the second limiting member 27 is in contact with the bottom of the lower limiting groove 25, the bottom edge of the second limiting member 27 is flush with the groove opening edge of the lower limiting groove 25.
[0063] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the support column 20 is provided with both an upper limit groove 24 and a lower limit groove 25, the upper limit groove 24 and the lower limit groove 25 are staggered in the height direction, that is, the upper limit groove 24 and the lower limit groove 25 are arranged one above the other and sequentially along the width direction of the support column 20. Thus, when the first limiting member 26 and the second limiting member 27 are inserted into the upper limit groove 24 and the lower limit groove 25, the first limiting member 26 and the second limiting member 27 are also staggered in the height direction. This ensures that the first limiting member 26 and the second limiting member 27 maintain the length of the top and bottom of the support column 20 respectively, while also ensuring that the length of the support column 20 is more consistent at different positions in its width direction. This effectively maintains the stretching degree of the support column 20 in the length direction, ensuring the supporting capacity of the support column 20.
[0064] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the support column 20 includes a folded honeycomb paper core 201 and an end plate 202. The two end faces of the folded honeycomb paper core 201 along its length are respectively fixedly connected to the end plates 202 that just cover it. The folded honeycomb paper core 201 and the end plates 202 are generally fixed together by adhesive.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the upper limit slot 24 is composed of a first through slot 241 opened on the top surface of the folded honeycomb paper core 201 and an end plate 202. The function of the end plate 202 is to close the two ends of the first through slot 241.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the lower limiting groove 25 is composed of a second through groove 251 opened on the bottom surface of the folded honeycomb paper core 201 and an end plate 202. The function of the end plate 202 is to close the two ends of the second through groove 251.
[0067] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two support columns 20. The shelf 10 is a narrow plate, and the two support columns 20 are respectively set at opposite ends of the shelf 10.
[0068] According to some optional embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are four support columns 20, and the shelf 10 is a relatively wide rectangular plate with a support column 20 on each of the four sides of the edge 12.
[0069] Of course, four support columns 20 can also be provided, to... Figure 7 Taking the shelf 10 shown as an example, at least one support post 20 is provided on each of the four sides of the edge 12. Of course, the shelf 10 can also adopt other shapes as described above.
[0070] In some embodiments, the support columns 20 provided on the opposite sides of the shelf 10 can be as follows: Figure 7 The misalignment is set as shown.
[0071] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
