[0037] In the description of this utility model, the use of "first" and "second" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or the order of the technical features.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 11 This utility model discloses an assembled shelving unit, including a shelving body 100 and a connector 200. Multiple shelving bodies 100 are arranged side by side. The connectors 200 connect adjacent shelving bodies 100. The connector 200 includes a support plate 210, a support rib 220, and a snap plate 230. The support rib 220 is connected between the support plate 210 and the snap plate 230. The support plate 210 is used to connect the bottom plates of two adjacent shelving bodies 100. The support rib 220 is placed in the gap between two adjacent shelving bodies 100. The snap plate 230 is used to connect the upper edges of two adjacent shelving bodies 100.

[0040] It should be understood that the connector 200 has a simple structure, mainly composed of a support plate 210, a support rib plate 220, and a snap plate 230. This standardizes the connector 200, allowing the bottom plates of two adjacent rack bodies 100 to be fixed, the gaps to be supported, and the upper edges to be locked, forming an integrated installation system that significantly reduces the difficulty of assembly. The vertical support of the support rib plate 220, together with the horizontal fixation of the support plate 210 and the snap plate 230, forms a stable structure. While maintaining the overall rigidity of the rack, it avoids the defect of traditional racks requiring complete replacement due to partial damage, and enables independent replacement of damaged parts. This design, through its detachable connection structure, ensures the structural stability of the rack system while meeting the needs for rapid deployment and flexible adjustment in practical application scenarios.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9The pallet 210, supporting rib 220, and snap-fit ​​plate 230 are integrally molded, with the supporting rib 220 vertically bisecting the pallet 210 and snap-fit ​​plate 230. This integral design improves the overall strength and stability of the connector 200. The vertical bisectation structure of the supporting rib 220 makes the stress on the connector 200 more even, effectively preventing deformation of the pallet 210 and snap-fit ​​plate 230 during use and extending the service life of the racking system. In addition, to further improve the durability and adaptability of the connector 200, a wear-resistant layer or anti-slip texture can be added to the surface of the pallet 210 and snap-fit ​​plate 230 to enhance the friction with the racking body 100 and prevent slippage or displacement. At the same time, the wall surface of the supporting rib 220 is provided with protrusions extending along the width direction of the racking body 100. The protrusions abut against the edge of the racking body 100 along the width direction. In this way, the supporting rib 220 can adapt to the stress in different directions, making the stress on the connector 200 more even and effectively extending the service life of the racking system.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 The pallet 210 includes a first connecting part 211 and a second connecting part 212. The supporting rib 220 includes a first supporting part 221 and a second supporting part 222. The snap plate 230 includes a first snap-fit ​​part 231 and a second snap-fit ​​part 232. The first connecting part 211, the first supporting part 221 and the first snap-fit ​​part 231 are integrally formed. The second connecting part 212, the second supporting part 222 and the second snap-fit ​​part 232 are integrally formed. The first supporting part 221 and the second supporting part 222 are snap-fit ​​connected. The first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 212 are respectively connected to the bottom plates of two adjacent shelf bodies 100. The first snap-fit ​​part 231 and the second snap-fit ​​part 232 are respectively snap-fitted to the upper edges of two adjacent shelf bodies 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the tray 210 is snap-fitted to the base plate of the rack body 100. This snap-fit ​​connection eliminates the need for additional fasteners, improving installation efficiency and facilitating later maintenance and component replacement, thus reducing operating costs. It is understood that the tray 210 is tightly connected to the base plate of the rack body 100 via a snap-fit ​​structure. This snap-fit ​​structure includes snap-fit ​​protrusions on the edge of the tray 210 and snap-fit ​​grooves on the base plate of the rack body 100. The shapes of the snap-fit ​​protrusions and snap-fit ​​grooves match, allowing the tray 210 to easily and securely snap into place during installation without the need for screws, nuts, or other additional fasteners. This snap-fit ​​connection not only significantly improves installation efficiency and reduces the time and labor costs required for installation, but also facilitates later maintenance and component replacement.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The bottom plate of the shelving body 100 is provided with a first elastic buckle 110, and the upper end of the tray 210 is provided with a second elastic buckle 213. The second elastic buckle 213 is used to fasten the first elastic buckle 110. The elastic buckle design enhances the tightness of the connection, effectively prevents the shelving body 100 from shaking during use, and improves the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, the elastic buckle is easy to disassemble and adjust, adapting to the connection needs of shelving bodies 100 of different sizes.

[0045] In some embodiments, a plurality of first elastic buckles 110 are provided, and the plurality of first elastic buckles 110 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the shelf body 100, and second elastic buckles 213 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the first elastic buckles 110. The interval arrangement of multiple elastic buckles increases the number of connection points, makes the force distribution more uniform, and improves the stability of the connection.

[0046] Reference Figure 9 A slot 240 is provided between the pallet 210 and the snap-on plate 230. The rack body 100 is inserted into the slot 240 and snap-on connected to the pallet 210. The design of the slot 240 defines the installation position of the rack body 100, improving the accuracy and efficiency of installation. At the same time, the slot structure enhances the connection strength between the rack body 100 and the connector 200, preventing vertical displacement of the rack body 100 during use. It can be understood that the rack body 100 is inserted into the slot 240 laterally and connected by the first elastic snap 110 and the second elastic snap 213.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 The system also includes an edge clamp 300, which comprises an edge support plate 310, a stiffening plate 320, and an edge fastening plate 330. One end of the stiffening plate 320 connects to the edge of the edge support plate 310, and the other end connects to the edge of the edge fastening plate 330. The edge support plate 310 is used to connect to the bottom plate of the outermost shelf body 100, and the edge fastening plate 330 is used to fasten the upper edge of the outermost shelf body 100. The design of the edge clamp 300 improves the edge structure of the shelving system, enhances the stability of the outermost shelf body 100, and the combined use of the edge support plate 310 and the edge fastening plate 330 makes the edge connection more secure, improving the overall stability and aesthetics of the shelving.

[0048] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
