[0039] See Figures 1 to 8 The file mobile shelving provided in this embodiment includes a frame 100, a pedal assembly 200, and a support assembly 300.

[0040] The frame 100 has multiple storage slots 110 spaced vertically. The pedal assembly 200 includes a foot pedal, which is disposed in and slidably engaged with the storage slot 110 below the frame 100. The foot pedal can slide out of or be stored inside the storage slot 110. The support assembly 300 includes multiple support members, which are spaced apart on the bottom surface of the foot pedal and rotatably connected to it to support the foot pedal.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with multiple storage slots 110 along the vertical direction. The storage slots 110 can store and preserve various books, documents, vouchers, and other items.

[0042] The foot pedal and the storage slot 110 slide together. When there is no need to pick up or put down items, the foot pedal can be slid into the storage slot 110. At this time, the support can be rotated to fit against the foot pedal and be slid into the storage slot 110 along with the foot pedal, thus avoiding the support and foot pedal taking up too much space.

[0043] When retrieving or placing items at higher locations, the foot pedal is pulled out of the storage slot 110. The multiple support members on the foot pedal are rotated so that each support is perpendicular to the ground, with the bottom of each support in contact with the ground. At this point, the top of the support member abuts against the bottom of the foot pedal, and the multiple support members provide support, ensuring the foot pedal remains stable. Managers can use the foot pedal to retrieve or place items from the storage slot 110 without the need for a ladder or other tools, making it very convenient and avoiding the space-consuming or noisy use of auxiliary tools.

[0044] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the foot pedal is provided with a mounting groove 210. The groove wall of the mounting groove 210 is provided with a shaft hole and a first limiting hole 321. The support assembly 300 also includes a rotating seat 310, the end face of which is provided with an elastic locking member 311. The rotating shaft of the rotating seat 310 is located within the shaft hole, and the position of the elastic locking member 311 is opposite to the position of the first limiting hole 321. Multiple mounting grooves 210 and rotating seats 310 are provided, each corresponding to a different support member. One end of each support member is located on the rotating seat 310.

[0045] In this embodiment, the support is rotatably connected to the support via the rotating seat 310.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating seat 310 is locked in position by an elastic locking member 311 on its end face. When the support needs to be rotated, the support is pulled, and the elastic locking member 311 is compressed by the groove wall of the mounting groove 210. When the support rotates to a state perpendicular to the ground, the surface of the elastic locking member 311 loses pressure and pops out. The side wall of the elastic locking member 311 abuts against the groove opening of the mounting groove 210 so that the support can maintain a state perpendicular to the ground. When the support needs to be retracted into the mounting groove 210, the elastic locking member 311 is pressed and the support is rotated to rotate the support into the mounting groove 210. At this time, the elastic locking member 311 enters the first limiting hole 321 under elastic action, preventing the support from falling out of the mounting groove 210.

[0047] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In this embodiment, the top surface of the elastic locking member 311 is a sloped structure. One end of the sloped structure is connected to the end face of the rotating seat 310, and the other end extends away from the rotating seat 310. The shape of the first limiting hole 321 is adapted to the elastic locking member 311. When the foot pedal is located in the mounting groove 210, the end of the elastic locking member 311 away from the rotating seat 310 is located between the other end of the elastic locking member 311 and the bottom of the mounting groove 210. When the support member supports the foot pedal, the side of the end of the elastic locking member 311 away from the rotating seat 310 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 210.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic locking member 311 is installed on the end face of the rotating seat 310. When the support member is retracted into the mounting groove 210, the inclined surface faces the side wall of the mounting groove 210, and the lower end of the inclined surface is located near the opening of the mounting groove 210. In this structure, pulling the support member can move the elastic locking member 311 out of the first limiting hole 321, and the groove wall of the mounting groove 210 squeezes the elastic locking member 311 to achieve compression of the elastic locking member 311.

[0049] Furthermore, when the support rotates to a state perpendicular to the ground, the elastic locking member 311 completely disengages from the mounting groove 210, and the side of the elastic locking member 311 (adjacent to the inclined surface) abuts against the groove opening of the mounting groove 210, preventing the support from rotating in the opposite direction into the mounting groove 210, thereby limiting the position of the support and ensuring that the support is in a state perpendicular to the ground.

[0050] Combination Figure 7 In this embodiment, the support member includes an outer tube 320, an inner tube 330, and an elastic member 340. One end of the outer tube 320 is connected to the rotating seat 310, and the other end is provided with a sliding groove extending into the inner tube 330. The inner tube 330 is disposed within the sliding groove, and a limiting part is provided at the end of the inner tube 330 near the rotating seat 310. The limiting part slides with the sliding groove, and the outer diameter of the limiting part is larger than the inner diameter of the groove opening. The elastic member 340 is disposed within the sliding groove and located between the bottom of the groove and the limiting part.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer tube 320 and the inner tube 330 form a sleeve structure. The elastic element 340 is disposed inside the outer tube 320 and abuts against the bottom end of the inner tube 330 to push the inner tube 330 out of the outer tube 320. The limiting part can prevent the inner tube 330 from coming out of the outer tube 320.

[0052] Specifically, when the support is retracted into the mounting groove 210, the inner tube 330 is retracted into the outer tube 320, at which time the elastic member 340 is in a compressed state. After the support is rotated out of the mounting groove 210, the elastic member 340 extends, and the inner tube 330 extends out from the end of the outer tube 320 away from the rotating seat 310 under the push of the elastic member 340.

[0053] In this embodiment, both ends of the outer tube 320 are provided with second limiting holes that communicate with the sliding groove. The inner tube 330 is provided with an elastic positioning member 331. When the inner tube 330 is fully retracted into the outer tube 320, the position of the elastic positioning member 331 is opposite to the position of the second limiting hole at one end of the outer tube 320. When the support member supports the foot pedal, the position of the elastic positioning member 331 is opposite to the position of the second limiting hole at the other end of the outer tube 320.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic positioning element 331 is a spring pin.

[0055] When the inner tube 330 is fully retracted into the outer tube 320, the spring pin engages with the second limiting hole at the end of the outer tube 320 near the rotating seat 310. The spring pin extends out of the second limiting hole to limit the inner tube 330 and prevent the inner tube 330 from extending out of the outer tube 320 under the push of the elastic element 340.

[0056] When the support member supports the foot pedal, pressing the spring pin causes the inner tube 330 to lose its limit and extend out of the outer tube 320 under the push of the elastic member 340. After the elastic member 340 is fully extended, the spring pin engages with the second limiting hole on the outer tube 320 at the end away from the rotating seat 310 to achieve the limit again, so that the relative position of the inner tube 330 and the outer tube 320 remains unchanged, thereby improving the stability of the support.

[0057] In this embodiment, slide rails are arranged opposite each other on the inner walls of the storage groove 110. The two sides of the foot pedal are respectively connected to the two slide rails.

[0058] The foot pedal is slidably engaged with the storage slot 110 via a slide rail, so that the foot pedal can be stored in the finger storage slot 110 and easily pulled out for use.

[0059] In this embodiment, the file mobile shelving also includes a handrail 400. The side of the shelving body 100 is provided with a receiving groove 120. The handrail 400 is rotatably connected to the shelving body 100 and is located on one side of the receiving groove 120, and the handrail 400 can rotate into the receiving groove 120.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, when stepping on the foot pedal to retrieve or place items at a height, one can hold the handrail 400 to maintain balance. Furthermore, when not in use or when the frame 100 is flush against a wall or other facility, the handrail 400 can be rotated to place it into the receiving slot 120, thus preventing the handrail 400 from taking up space.

[0061] In this embodiment, there are multiple racks 100. The multiple racks 100 are arranged adjacent to each other perpendicular to the extension direction of the storage slot 110.

[0062] In this embodiment, multiple frames 100 are arranged adjacent to each other along their respective width directions, and the handrails 400 between two adjacent frames 100 can be retracted into the receiving slots 120 to avoid excessive gaps between the two frames 100.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are multiple pedal assemblies 200 and multiple support assemblies 300. The multiple pedal assemblies 200 are connected one-to-one with the multiple support assemblies 300 to form multiple foot pedal devices. The multiple foot pedal devices are respectively disposed in different storage slots 110 of the frame 100.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, each shelf 100 is 2400cm high, and each shelf 100 has 6 storage slots 110. The second and third storage slots 110 from bottom to top are equipped with foot pedals. At this height, it is convenient for managers to use and step on the shelves, and the height is sufficient to retrieve and place items in the top storage slot 110.

[0065] The bottom end of the foot pedal support in the upper storage slot 110 abuts against the top surface of the foot pedal in the lower foot pedal, thus the lower foot pedal supports the upper foot pedal.

[0066] In this embodiment, the filing cabinet also includes a cover plate. The cover plate is located on the side of the foot pedal device near the opening of the storage slot 110 and is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 100.

[0067] After the cover plate is rotatably connected to the frame 100, when the foot pedal extends out of the storage slot 110, the cover plate is pushed to flip, which will not obstruct the use of the foot pedal. When the foot pedal is retracted into the storage slot 110, the cover plate falls naturally to cover the foot pedal device, improving the overall aesthetics of the filing cabinet.

[0068] In addition, in this embodiment, the top surface of the foot pedal is provided with anti-slip texture to prevent slipping when stepping on the foot pedal.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
