Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture structure technology, and more specifically, to a combined support structure of shelf support arms and clothes rails. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of home storage, the wardrobe is mainly used to store clothing, accessories, and other items. A typical wardrobe structure consists of side panels, a back panel, top and bottom panels, shelves, hanging rods, and doors. Shelves are used to divide storage space, allowing for the categorized storage of clothing; hanging rods provide support for hanging clothes.

[0003] Currently, shelves are typically secured directly to pre-drilled holes in the cabinet side panels using screws or metal connectors; alternatively, equidistant slots or round holes are pre-drilled in the cabinet side panels, with plastic / metal brackets supporting the shelves. Clothes rails, on the other hand, are installed by mounting support bases on the inside of both side panels of the cabinet, securing both ends of the rail with screws or clips.

[0004] This installation method requires side panels at both ends of the clothes rail; otherwise, it cannot be installed, limiting the diverse design possibilities of the wardrobe's internal structure. A wider clothes rail provides more hanging space; however, if the rail is too wide, the more clothes are hung, the more prone it is to deformation. Furthermore, the width of the panel above the clothes rail needs to match its width; an excessively wide panel lacking support in the middle is prone to deformation. Conversely, reducing deformation limits the width of both the panel and the clothes rail. Therefore, the support system for the clothes rail and its upper panel needs improvement.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment presents a combined support structure of shelf supports and clothes rails, including three support brackets, a clothes rail seat, and a clothes rail 5. In this embodiment, there are three support brackets; in practical applications, there can be more than three support brackets. The support brackets are arranged side-by-side, with a gap between adjacent support brackets; the gap between adjacent support brackets can be equal or unequal.

[0032] The support arm bracket includes a support arm body 1 and a support arm crossbar 2. The back side of the support arm body 1 forms a mounting portion for positioning and fixing to the inner wall of the cabinet; specifically, the mounting portion refers to the mounting hole 15 provided in the support arm body 1, which can be used to install wardrobe inner wall connectors. One end of the support arm crossbar 2 is connected to the support arm body 1, and the other end of the support arm crossbar 2 extends towards the front of the support arm body 1 to form a support portion for supporting and fixing shelves; a clothes rail seat is connected below the support arm crossbar 2.

[0033] The support arm body 1 is inverted L-shaped and includes a longitudinal support arm portion 11 and a transverse support arm portion 12 connected to each other. The transverse support arm portion 12 is provided with an insert groove 14. One end of the support arm crossbar 2 rests in the insert groove 14 and is locked to the transverse support arm portion 12 by a connector. The insert groove 14 of the support arm crossbar 2 is provided with an auxiliary positioning piece 13, so that the auxiliary positioning piece 13 presses on one end of the support arm crossbar 2, thereby strengthening the fixation of the support arm crossbar 2. One end of the support arm crossbar 2 is provided with a positioning notch 21 that matches the auxiliary positioning piece 13. The top horizontal heights of the support arm crossbar 2, the transverse support arm portion 12, and the auxiliary positioning piece 13 are the same to jointly support the shelf. The auxiliary positioning piece 13 can provide downward pressure on the support arm crossbar 2 to strengthen the fixation of the support arm crossbar 2.

[0034] The cross-section of the support arm crossbar 2 is H-shaped; the positioning notch 21 is located at the upper part of the H-shaped support arm crossbar 2. The positioning notch 21 is easy to manufacture at the upper part of the H-shaped support arm crossbar 2, reducing the difficulty of the process. The support arm crossbar 2 has a second mounting hole 22, which can be used to install the shelf connector.

[0035] The lower part of the H-shaped support arm crossbar 2 is used to embed the clothes rail seat; the lower part of the H-shaped support arm crossbar 2 provides positioning for the clothes rail seat. The clothes rail 5 is connected to the support arm bracket through the clothes rail seat. The clothes rail seat includes a clothes rail hanging rod 3 and a seat body 4; the seat body 4 is connected to the side of the clothes rail hanging rod 3. The seat body 4 has an insertion cavity 41; the end of the clothes rail 5 is inserted into the insertion cavity 41 to realize the positioning and fixation of the clothes rail 5 and the seat body 4. This type of clothes rail seat can have a seat body 4 on one side or both sides, which is suitable for use at the edge and middle of the clothes hanging space, improving the versatility of the clothes rail seat.

[0036] A preferred embodiment is that the two sides of the clothes rail hanging rod piece 3 are symmetrically provided with recesses 31 that match the base body 4; the base body 4 is embedded in the recesses 31 for positioning, and is locked to the clothes rail hanging rod piece 3 by a connecting piece 2 7; the connecting piece 2 7 can be a bolt, and a nut receiving cavity 42 can be provided in the insertion cavity 41; a nut is provided in the nut receiving cavity 42 to facilitate the installation of the connecting piece 2 7. A clothes rail base cover 6 is provided on the side recess 31 of the outermost clothes rail hanging rod piece 3, away from the adjacent clothes rail hanging rod piece 3. This configuration of the clothes rail base facilitates assembly and improves assembly efficiency.

[0037] The top of the clothes hanger 5 is provided with a reinforcing groove 51; a connector 3 8 extends from the base 4 into the reinforcing groove 51 of the clothes hanger 5 and abuts against the wall of the reinforcing groove 51 to lock the angle and left and right position of the clothes hanger 5. Sound insulation strips are preferably installed in the reinforcing groove 51.

[0038] The coat hanger 5 has an elliptical cross-section; the top of the ellipse has a notch corresponding to the reinforcing groove 51; the insertion cavity 41 of the base 4 matches the elliptical cross-section of the coat hanger 5; the coat hanger 5 is a hollow tube, and has a reinforcing plate 52 extending downward from the bottom of the reinforcing groove 51 inside. The elliptical cross-section of the coat hanger 5, matching the insertion cavity 41 of the base 4, can limit the angle of the coat hanger 5. The reinforcing plate 52 inside the coat hanger 5 provides good mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity.

[0039] This utility model's support structure can simultaneously support the hanging tube 5 and the shelves above it. Different numbers of support arms can be used to match different widths of hanging space. When the hanging space is wide, more than three support arms can be installed, providing support to the middle of the shelves above the hanging tube 5. Furthermore, the hanging tube 5 can be divided into multiple sections, with both ends of each section fixed. This prevents deformation of the hanging tube 5 and the shelves above it due to excessive width and insufficient support in the middle, thus improving the wardrobe's overall quality. In addition, the hanging tube 5 can be set to any width, and there is no need to limit the installation of side panels on both sides of the hanging tube 5, increasing the flexibility of the wardrobe's internal structural design.

[0040] This embodiment of the support arm bracket consists of two parts: the support arm body 1 and the support arm crossbar 2. This is a preferred solution, but an integrated support arm bracket structure can also be used in practical applications. The advantages of a split support arm bracket structure are twofold: firstly, it can reduce the overall size, saving on packaging, storage, and handling costs; secondly, different lengths of support arm crossbar 2 can be selected to match the support arm body 1 according to the depth of the wardrobe, saving on manufacturing costs.
