Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, specifically a support component and a shelf-type shelving. Background Technology

[0002] Shelving units are a common type of shelving product. The height of the shelving is usually less than 2.5m. They are widely used in industries such as electronics, light agriculture, and chemicals. They are usually manually accessed and are generally used to store loose items or small to medium-sized items.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN208463443U discloses a shelf-type rack, which includes two uprights arranged opposite each other and multiple pairs of crossbeams for connecting the two uprights. Each pair of crossbeams has at least one set of mounting holes for the bent portions at both ends of the tie rods to pass through in order to prevent the crossbeams from bulging outward and to improve the load-bearing capacity of the rack.

[0004] Nevertheless, the load-bearing capacity of shelving is still limited by the load-bearing capacity of the shelves. Currently, the main method to increase the load-bearing capacity is to increase the thickness of the shelves. However, due to the large area of ​​the shelves, increasing the thickness significantly increases the material, packaging, and transportation costs. Therefore, how to improve the load-bearing capacity of shelving at a low cost is a problem that those skilled in the art are continuously working to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a support component and a shelf-type rack to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This application discloses a support assembly installed on a shelf-type rack. The shelf-type rack includes multiple beam groups, each beam group including two beams arranged opposite each other. The support assembly includes a support rod and two connectors. The two ends of the support rod are detachably connected to one of the connectors, and the support rod is connected to the two beams of a beam group through the two connectors.

[0007] Specifically, the connector includes an overlapping portion, a supporting portion, and a connecting portion for connecting the overlapping portion and the supporting portion. The overlapping portion is used to overlap with the crossbeam, and the supporting portion is used to detachably connect with the end of the support rod.

[0008] Specifically, the support portion is provided with a latch, and the latch has at least one side suspended to engage with the support rod.

[0009] Specifically, the support rod is made of inwardly rolled channel steel, and the inwardly rolled edge of the support rod is used to engage with the latch.

[0010] Specifically, the latch is formed by stamping a portion of the material from the support portion.

[0011] Specifically, the upper surface of the support rod is flush with the upper surface of the overlapping part.

[0012] This application also discloses a shelf-type rack that includes the support components described in the embodiments of this application.

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The shelf-type rack in this embodiment provides additional load support to the shelves through the support components, which can effectively improve the strength and load-bearing capacity of the shelves without increasing the thickness of the shelves, and reduce the material cost of the products. In addition, the support components in this embodiment have a simple structure, and the support rods and connectors are detachably connected. Therefore, the support rods and connectors can be assembled into one unit during installation.

[0026] 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.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "fixing," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "below," and "over" the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish between different terms in description and do not have any special meaning.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the shelving unit of this embodiment includes two opposing uprights 10, multiple sets of beams 20, multiple support components, and multiple shelves 30. Each set of beams 20 includes two opposing beams 20, and the multiple sets of beams 20 are evenly distributed from top to bottom, with the two beams 20 in each set located on the same horizontal plane. The two beams 20 in each set are connected by multiple support components, and the shelves 30 are disposed on the support components, with at least one support component at the bottom of each shelf 30.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly in this embodiment includes a support rod 1 and two connectors 2. Each end of the support rod 1 is detachably connected to a connector 2, and the support rod 1 is supported on two crossbeams 20 of a crossbeam 20 group via the two connectors 2 connected to its two ends.

[0033] By adopting the above solution, the shelf-type rack in this embodiment provides additional load support for the shelf 30 through the support components, which can effectively improve the strength and load-bearing capacity of the shelf 30 without increasing the thickness of the shelf 30, and reduce the product material cost. In addition, the support components in this embodiment have a simple structure, and the support rod 1 and the connector 2 are detachably connected. Therefore, the support rod 1 and the connector 2 can be assembled into one unit during installation. In this way, the support rod 1 and the connector 2 can be transported separately, which helps to reduce the packaging volume and reduce packaging and transportation costs.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the connector 2 in this embodiment includes an overlapping portion 21, a supporting portion 22, and a connecting portion 23 for connecting the overlapping portion 21 and the supporting portion 22. The overlapping portion 21 is used to overlap with the crossbeam 20, and the supporting portion 22 is used to connect with the support rod 1 to support it. Specifically, the overlapping portion 21 and the supporting portion 22 are generally horizontal, while the connecting portion is vertical; that is, the connector 2 is generally Z-shaped and can be made of Z-shaped steel. Thus, the Z-shaped connector 2 can be positioned on the crossbeam using its own structure without additional fasteners. The supporting portion 22 of the connector 2 is provided with a latch 24, at least one side of which is suspended to engage with the support rod 1. In this embodiment, both sides of the latch 24 are suspended to improve the reliability of the engagement. In this embodiment, the latch 24 is stamped from a portion of the material on the supporting portion 22, and the latch 24 is generally located at the center of the supporting portion 22.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 1 in this embodiment is made of inwardly rolled channel steel. The inwardly rolled edge of the support rod 1 is used to engage with the latch 24 on the connector 2. During installation, simply insert one end of the support rod 1 directly into the latch 24 on the connector 2 and push it all the way down (until the end of the support rod 1 abuts against the connecting part 23 of the connector 2) to lock it in place. The two are easy and quick to assemble.

[0036] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, after the connector 2 and the support rod 1 are assembled, the upper surface of the support rod 1 is flush with the upper surface of the overlapping part 21 of the connector 2. Thus, when a shelf 30 is placed on the support assembly, the support rod 1 can support the shelf 30. In this embodiment, the crossbeam 20 can be a clamping beam 20a (e.g.,...). Figure 6 It can also be a P-type beam 20b (such as...). Figure 7 When the support assembly overlaps with the clamp beam 20a, the overlapping part 21 of the connector 2 contacts the upper surface of the clamp beam 20a; when the support assembly overlaps with the P-beam 20b, the connector 2 can contact the stepped surface of the P-beam 20b, and the upper surface of the support rod 1 is generally flush with the upper surface of the P-beam 20b.

[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the support rod 1 and the connector 2 are made of pre-galvanized material, which can avoid the powder coating process after assembly, thereby improving rust resistance and production efficiency.

[0038] This utility model uses specific embodiments to illustrate the principle and implementation of the utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​the utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the utility model.
