Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shelving, and in particular to a combination shelving unit with adjustable shelf height. Background Technology

[0002] Shelves generally refer to racks used for storing goods; they are storage devices for packaged items. Traditional shelves are often multi-tiered, and to maximize storage capacity, they are made very tall. For example, a shelf described in existing technology publication CN210961249U includes fixed plates with threaded holes on both the upper and lower ends. Two sets of fixed plates are provided, with shelves between them. Bolts are located on the right end of the shelves, connecting to the threaded holes. Ventilation slots are provided on the shelves, connecting to a lower air exchange layer. This air exchange layer is filled with irregularly sized particles, and a serpentine tube with air diffusers is located at the bottom. A fixing rod connects to the serpentine tube and is connected via a sealing layer at the bottom. However, because the goods on the shelves vary in height, when adjusting the shelf height is inconvenient, goods are often placed on the shelves without categorization. Large amounts of space remain unused above smaller items, resulting in low shelf utilization and limited storage capacity. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a combination shelf with adjustable shelf height that can be adjusted according to the different heights of goods, making it convenient to classify and place goods and improve space utilization.
