Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage racks, and in particular to a wall-mounted folding storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, the storage of bathroom items such as washbasins and towels has always been a challenge in home space management. For example, the traditional method of placing washbasins on a washbasin stand occupies considerable indoor space. For smaller living spaces, this space occupation can cause considerable inconvenience. While the folding washbasin storage racks disclosed in CN206007109U and CN207285973U use movable brackets for upward folding storage, which to some extent prevents them from protruding forward when not in use, they still occupy upper space and fail to fundamentally achieve effective space reduction, thus failing to meet people's needs for efficient use of small spaces. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage rack that can effectively save space and is easy to fold and store. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a wall-mounted folding storage rack that can be easily folded and stored, reducing space occupation and improving the flexibility and applicability of use.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A wall-mounted folding storage rack includes a mounting rod, a main rod, and a pair of support rods for supporting the main rod; one end of each support rod is hinged to the mounting rod, and the other end is hinged to a rod head, which is connected to the main rod and forms a sliding fit; when the pair of support rods rotate around their hinge point with the mounting rod, they simultaneously rotate relative to the rod head, driving the pair of rod heads to slide closer together or further apart on the main rod, thereby switching the storage rack between an unfolded state and a folded state;

[0005] In the unfolded state, the main rod and a pair of support rods extend forward to form a frame structure with the mounting rod; in the folded state, the pair of support rods and the main rod retract backward to one side of the mounting rod.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage rack of this utility model has a folded state and an unfolded state. When folded, the pair of support rods and the main rod are all retracted to one side of the mounting rod, achieving compact storage of the overall structure and greatly saving space. In the unfolded state, the support rods and the main rod, together with the mounting rod, form a stable frame structure, providing reliable support for washbasins, and can also be used to support flower pots, buckets, etc., and can also be used to hang towels and other items, meeting daily use needs. In addition, the wall-mounted design of this utility model allows the storage rack to be easily installed on the wall, further saving floor space, making it particularly suitable for small apartments or living environments with limited space.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the main rod has a sliding hole along its length, and the rod heads on a pair of support rods are in sliding fit with the sliding hole.

[0008] With the aforementioned further design, the sliding hole allows the rod head to slide smoothly and steadily on the main rod, ensuring the stability and fluidity of the storage rack during unfolding and folding. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the sliding hole and the rod head also provides a certain degree of restraint, preventing the rod head from detaching from the main rod during sliding, thereby enhancing the structural strength and safety of the storage rack.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the rod head has a neck adapted to slide within the sliding hole, and a hinge joint and a limiting head are respectively provided at both ends of the neck joint. The hinge joint is hinged to the support rod. The limiting head and the hinge joint abut against the front and rear sides of the main rod respectively to limit the position of the main rod.

[0010] By adopting the above-mentioned further settings, the structural design of the rod head is clarified. The neck is adapted to slide through the sliding hole, and the hinge joint is hinged to the support rod to achieve rotational connection. The limiting head and the hinge joint limit the front and rear of the main rod, which further ensures the stability of the rod head during the sliding process. At the same time, it also makes the position of the main rod more fixed during the unfolding and folding of the storage rack, improving the reliability of the overall structure.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the sliding holes are symmetrically configured as two strips, each forming a sliding fit with the rod heads on a pair of support rods.

[0012] With the above-mentioned further design, the double symmetrical sliding hole design provides independent and stable sliding holes for a pair of rod heads, making the movement of the support rods on both sides more balanced and synchronized when the storage rack is unfolded and folded. This further enhances the overall structural stability and smoothness of operation of the storage rack, while distributing the force and extending the service life of the storage rack.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the front side of the mounting rod is provided with a storage groove, which is used to accommodate a pair of support rods after they have been rotated and folded.

[0014] With the above-mentioned further design, the storage slot provides dedicated storage space for the pair of support rods when folded, preventing the pair of support rods from swaying or occupying extra space when the storage rack is folded, making the overall structure more compact and orderly, and improving the storage convenience and aesthetics of the storage rack.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the main rod has a plate-like structure; after the storage rack is folded, the main rod can cover the slot of the storage groove on the mounting rod.

[0016] With the above-mentioned further design, the main rod of the plate structure can cover the opening of the storage slot after the storage rack is folded. On the one hand, it plays a role in preventing dust and other debris from entering the storage slot and contaminating the support rod; on the other hand, it makes the appearance of the folded storage rack neater and more beautiful, and at the same time, it provides a certain degree of protection for the support rod in the storage slot, avoiding damage from external impacts.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the support rod is a multi-section telescopic structure, consisting of at least two telescopic rod segments that are nested together.

[0018] With the above-mentioned further design, the multi-section telescopic support rod can be adjusted in length according to actual usage needs. It can provide suitable support space for basins, flower pots, buckets and other items of different sizes when unfolded, improving the applicability of the storage rack; and when folded, the length of the support rod can be further shortened, making the storage rack smaller in size, saving more space, and enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the storage rack.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that when the storage rack is unfolded, the main rod, the mounting rod, and a pair of support rods form a rectangular frame structure.

[0020] With the above-mentioned further design, the rectangular frame structure has good stability and mechanical properties, which can evenly distribute the weight of the basin, provide a stable and reliable support for the basin, ensure that the storage rack is not easily deformed or shaken during use, improve the load-bearing capacity and safety of the storage rack, and at the same time, the regular rectangular shape also makes it easy to place and retrieve the basin.

[0027] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, a wall-mounted folding storage rack according to a specific embodiment of this utility model includes a mounting rod 1, a main rod 2, and a pair of support rods 3 for supporting the main rod 2. One end of each support rod 3 is hinged to the mounting rod 1 via a hinge shaft A, and the other end is hinged to a rod head 4. The rod head 4 is hinged to the support rod 3 via a hinge shaft B, and the rod head 4 is connected to the main rod 2 and forms a sliding fit. The main rod 2 has a sliding hole 21 along its length, and the rod heads 4 on the pair of support rods 3 form a sliding fit with the sliding hole 21. Of course, a T-shaped sliding groove slider structure can also be used to form a sliding fit. The sliding hole 21 is symmetrically arranged in pairs, each forming a sliding fit with the rod heads 4 on the pair of support rods 3. The rod head 4 has a neck 41 adapted to slide within a sliding hole. The neck 41 has a hinge joint 42 and a limiting head 43 at each end. The limiting head 43 is spherical or other shaped. Specifically, the hinge joint 41 is hinged to the support rod 3 via the hinge shaft B52. The limiting head 43 and the hinge joint 42 abut against the front and rear sides of the main rod 2, respectively, to limit the movement of the main rod 2. The hinge joint 42, neck 41, and limiting head 43 are integrally formed or separately installed and fixed. The front side of the mounting rod 1 has a storage groove 11, which is used to accommodate a pair of support rods 3 after rotation and folding. The main rod 2 has a plate-like structure. After the storage rack is folded, the main rod 2 can cover the opening of the storage groove 11 on the mounting rod 1, or the main rod can also be stored in the storage groove 11. The support rod 3 is a multi-section telescopic structure, composed of at least two interlocking telescopic rod segments 31.

[0029] When a pair of support rods 3 rotate around their hinge point with the mounting rod 1, they simultaneously rotate relative to the rod head 4, driving the pair of rod heads 4 to slide inwards or outwards relative to each other on the main rod 2, thus switching the storage rack between the unfolded and folded states. In the unfolded state, the main rod 2 and the pair of support rods 3 extend forward to form a frame structure with the mounting rod 1, specifically a rectangular frame structure, but it can also be a trapezoidal or other structures. In the folded state, the pair of support rods 3 and the main rod 2 retract backwards to one side of the mounting rod 1.

[0030] The specific working principle of this utility model:

[0031] First, fix the mounting rod to the mounting surface, such as the wall, using screws, nail-free adhesive, or suction cups.

[0032] When in use, the user pulls the main rod forward, causing a pair of support rods to rotate forward around their hinge point with the mounting rod in a direction away from each other, and perpendicular to the mounting rod (perfectly perpendicular at 90° or approximately perpendicular at 89°, etc.); at this time, the support rods also rotate relative to the rod head and make the two collinear, and the pair of rod heads slide away from each other in their respective sliding holes. The main rod moves forward to a position parallel to and spaced apart from the mounting rod, forming a frame structure. A washbasin can be placed on it for use, or flower pots, buckets, etc. can be placed on it, and towels, clothes, etc. can be hung on it.

[0033] When not in use, the user pushes the main rod backward, causing a pair of support rods to rotate backward around their hinge point with the mounting rod, gradually closing into the storage slot of the mounting rod. At this time, the support rods also rotate relative to the rod heads, making them perpendicular (90° perfectly perpendicular, or approximately 89°, etc.), and the rod heads slide inward towards each other in their respective sliding holes. The main rod gradually moves backward until it is flush with the mounting rod, covering the opening of the storage slot, completing the folding of the storage rack. When folded, it forms a rod shape, saving space. When folding, the pair of support rods can be pushed slightly to facilitate their backward rotation and folding.

[0034] Of course, the main rod can also be moved forward or backward by the limit head to realize the folding and unfolding movement of the storage rack.

[0035] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, all directional indicators (such as up, down, forward, backward, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0036] In addition, in the description of this utility model, "a number" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," and "installation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
