Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shoe cabinet technology, and specifically relates to a folding shoe cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and economy, people's quality of life has improved significantly, and they are paying more and more attention to the hygiene and aesthetics of their home environment. As an important part of home storage, shoe cabinets have become an essential piece of furniture for modern families, meeting people's needs for orderly storage and easy retrieval of shoes. At present, there are various styles of shoe cabinets on the market, but most of them are traditional forms with fixed structures and obvious edges. When these ordinary shoe cabinets are placed next to the door of the home, they often occupy a lot of indoor space due to their large size. This not only affects the compactness of the home layout and the space utilization rate, but also has a negative impact on the overall aesthetics. Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of shoe cabinets occupying space has become a key issue that needs to be addressed in the field of home storage.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as the folding shoe cabinet disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN201870091U, the freely foldable panel design optimizes space utilization to a certain extent. The panel of this shoe cabinet can be folded individually on a fixed bracket, which is convenient for placing special shoes such as high boots, and can also be folded upwards by 90 degrees when not in use, achieving the effect of saving space and beautifying the environment. However, this device still has limitations in practical applications. Even in the folded storage state, its bottom structure still occupies a certain amount of space, making it difficult to meet the needs of maximizing space utilization. Moreover, the panel must be unfolded every time shoes are placed, making the operation process relatively cumbersome and failing to fundamentally solve the contradiction between space occupation and ease of use. It can be seen that existing shoe cabinet technology still has room for improvement in terms of space utilization and user experience, and innovative designs are urgently needed to improve the practicality and space adaptability of shoe cabinets. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding shoe cabinet to solve the problem of space occupation that still exists in the application of existing technologies.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A folding shoe cabinet includes a mounting plate, a lifting mechanism fixedly mounted on the center of the front of the mounting plate, a support plate fixedly mounted on the front of the lifting mechanism, and shoe placement mechanisms fixedly mounted on the front of the support plate in a linear arrangement at equal intervals.
[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a rail frame, which is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the rail frame. A lead screw is fixedly installed through the output end of the drive motor through the rail frame. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the rail frame. A movable block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw. The movable block is slidably connected to the inside of the rail frame. The front of the movable block is fixedly connected to the back of the bearing plate.
[0008] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate, and the mounting holes are countersunk holes.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface corners of the mounting plate, bearing plate, and rail frame are all rounded, and the top view shape of the movable block and the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity of the rail frame are both convex.
[0010] Furthermore, the shoe placement mechanism includes a hinge seat, which is linearly arranged at equal intervals and fixedly installed on the front of the support plate. Both ends of the hinge seat are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and a placement plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating shaft. A limit component is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge seat, and the limit component is engaged with the rotating shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, a placement groove is provided in the middle of the top of the placement plate, and the outer corners of the hinge seat and the placement plate are both set as arcs.
[0012] Furthermore, fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the placement plate, and hooks are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing blocks. The outer corners of the hooks are also rounded.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a side rail and a circular block. The circular block is fixedly installed on one end of a rotating shaft away from the placement plate. The side rail is fixedly installed on the side of the hinge seat near the circular block. A limiting spring is fixedly connected inside the side rail. A slider is fixedly connected to the front end of the limiting spring. A locking pin is fixedly connected to the outer side of the slider. The outer surface of the circular block has locking holes arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The end of the locking pin is inserted into the inside of one of the locking holes. A push plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the slider.
[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0015] First, this device, by setting up a lifting mechanism, can adjust the height of the shoe-placing mechanism during use, thereby saving indoor space. During use, after starting the drive motor, the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and through the threaded transmission, the movable block slides in the rail frame, thereby driving the bearing plate to move vertically and adjust the height of the shoe-placing mechanism. When placing shoes, the drive motor makes the lead screw rotate forward, and the shoe-placing mechanism moves down for easy operation; after placement, the lead screw rotates in reverse, and the shoe-placing mechanism moves up to a higher position, reducing the occupation of ground space and effectively improving the utilization rate of indoor space.
[0016] Secondly, this device, through the cooperation of the shoe placement mechanism and the limiting component, can achieve diversified shoe storage and space optimization. For shoes that can be hung, the limiting component is operated to release the limitation on the placement plate, allowing it to be folded over and hung using hooks, saving space in a vertical position. For shoes that cannot be hung, the limitation is also released, the placement plate is adjusted to a horizontal position, and the shoes are stored in the placement slot. The limiting component releases the limitation by compressing the limiting spring through the push plate, causing the locking pin to separate from the locking hole. After the placement plate is in place, the spring returns to its original position, pushing the locking pin to insert into the locking hole, ensuring the stability of the shoe placement mechanism in different states and improving the practicality and space adaptability of the device.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A folding shoe cabinet according to this embodiment includes a mounting plate 1, a lifting mechanism 2 fixedly mounted in the middle of the front of the mounting plate 1, a bearing plate 4 fixedly mounted in the front of the lifting mechanism 2, and shoe placement mechanisms 3 fixedly mounted in a linear arrangement at equal intervals in the front of the bearing plate 4.
[0026] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a rail frame 21, which is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate 1. A drive motor 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the rail frame 21. A lead screw 23 is fixedly installed through the rail frame 21 at the output end of the drive motor 22. The lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rail frame 21. A movable block 24 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 23. The movable block 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the rail frame 21. The front of the movable block 24 is fixedly connected to the back of the bearing plate 4. When this folding shoe cabinet is working, the lifting mechanism 2 provides power for the height adjustment of the shoe placement mechanism 3. After the drive motor 22 installed on the top of the rail frame 21 is started, its output end drives the lead screw 23 to rotate inside the rail frame 21. Since the lead screw 23 and the movable block 24 are connected by threads, the lead screw 23 rotates within the rail frame 21. The rotation of rod 23 is converted into linear sliding of movable block 24 inside rail frame 21. Since the front of movable block 24 is fixedly connected to the back of support plate 4, the sliding of movable block 24 causes support plate 4 to move vertically, thereby enabling multiple shoe placement mechanisms 3 fixed to the front of support plate 4 to adjust their height synchronously. When shoes need to be placed in shoe placement mechanism 3, drive motor 22 rotates to rotate lead screw 23, driving movable block 24 to move support plate 4 and shoe placement mechanism 3 down to a suitable height. After placement, drive motor 22 reverses, lead screw 23 reverses to drive movable block 24 to move support plate 4 and shoe placement mechanism 3 up, raising shoe placement mechanism 3 to a higher position, thereby reducing the occupation of ground space and optimizing the use of shoe cabinet space.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-2Mounting holes 5 are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate 1. These mounting holes 5 are countersunk holes. The outer edges of the mounting plate 1, the support plate 4, and the rail frame 21 are all rounded. The top view shape of the movable block 24 and the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity of the rail frame 21 are both convex. The countersunk holes at the four corners of the mounting plate 1 facilitate the use of countersunk screws to securely install the shoe cabinet to the wall or other locations, ensuring the screw heads are recessed into the holes. This guarantees a flat surface on the mounting plate 1, avoids the risk of bumps caused by protruding screws, and enhances the stability and aesthetics of the installation. The rounded edges of the outer surfaces of the mounting plate 1, the support plate 4, and the rail frame 21... By eliminating sharp edges and corners, stress concentration during collisions is reduced, effectively minimizing damage to components from external forces and preventing accidental scratches and injuries to users. The top view shape of the movable block 24 and the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity of the rail frame 21 are both convex, forming a guide structure with a concave-convex fit. When the lead screw 23 drives the movable block 24 to slide within the rail frame 21, this structure can limit the displacement direction of the movable block 24, preventing it from shifting laterally or coming off, ensuring that the movable block 24 slides stably along the rail frame 21. This, in turn, ensures that the bearing plate 4 and the shoe placement mechanism 3 operate smoothly during height adjustment, improving the overall safety and reliability of the shoe cabinet.
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5The shoe storage mechanism 3 includes hinge seats 31, which are linearly arranged at equal intervals and fixedly installed on the front of the support plate 4. Both ends of the hinge seats 31 are rotatably connected to rotating shafts 32. A placement plate 33 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating shafts 32. A limiting component 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge seats 31, and the limiting component 34 engages with the rotating shafts 32. A placement groove 35 is provided in the center of the top of the placement plate 33. The outer corners of both the hinge seats 31 and the placement plate 33 are rounded. Fixing blocks 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the placement plate 33, and hooks 37 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing blocks 36. The outer corners of the hooks 37 are also rounded. During use, the shoe storage mechanism 3, through the coordinated operation of the hinge seats 31, rotating shafts 32, and limiting components 34, achieves diverse shoe storage. The hinge seats 31 are fixed to the front of the support plate 4, providing rotational support for the placement plate 33. The rotating shafts 32 pass through the hinge seats 31. The seat 31 is connected to the placement plate 33, allowing the placement plate 33 to rotate around the pivot 32. When placing shoes that can be hung, such as sneakers, slippers, and high heels, the operating limit component 34 releases the locking limit on the pivot 32, rotating the placement plate 33 around the pivot 32 to a vertical position. At this time, the hook 37 faces upward, and the shoes can be hung on the hook 37. The vertical position of the placement plate 33 reduces space occupation. When placing shoes that cannot be hung, such as rain boots, the limiting component 34 is operated again to release the limit, rotating the placement plate 33 to a horizontal position. The placement slot 35 at the top of the placement plate 33 is used to store the shoes. The limiting component 34, by engaging with the pivot 32, can lock the placement plate 33 after it has rotated to the correct position, preventing the placement plate 33 from rotating arbitrarily. In addition, the rounded corner design of the hinge seat 31, placement plate 33, and hook 37 can reduce the risk of damage during collisions and prevent scratches to users or shoes, ensuring safety during use.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 2-4The limiting component 34 includes a side rail 341 and a circular block 342. The circular block 342 is fixedly installed on the end of a rotating shaft 32 away from the placement plate 33. The side rail 341 is fixedly installed on the side of the hinge seat 31 near the circular block 342. A limiting spring 343 is fixedly connected inside the side rail 341. A slider 344 is fixedly connected to the front end of the limiting spring 343. A locking pin 345 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 344. The outer surface of the circular block 342 is arranged in a ring at equal intervals. A locking hole 346 is provided, and the end of a locking pin 345 is inserted into the inside of one of the locking holes 346. A push plate 347 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the slider 344. During the use of this device, its limiting component 34 realizes the limiting and unlocking of the rotating shaft 32 and the placement plate 33 through the cooperation of the mechanical structure. The round block 342 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 32, and the locking holes 346 arranged in a ring on it cooperate with the locking pin 345 to form a limiting structure. The limiting spring 343 in the side rail 341 is constantly In the current state, push the slider 344 and the connected locking pin 345 forward so that the end of the locking pin 345 is inserted into the locking hole 346 of the round block 342. At this time, the placement plate 33 is locked and cannot rotate around the rotating shaft 32. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the placement plate 33, push the push plate 347 on the outside of the slider 344 to drive the slider 344 to move backward against the elastic force of the limiting spring 343, compressing the limiting spring 343. At the same time, the locking pin 345 disengages from the locking hole 346, releasing the limitation on the round block 342 and the rotating shaft 32. At this time, the placement plate 33 can be rotated freely. After the placement plate 33 rotates to the required angle, release the push plate 347, the limiting spring 343 resets, push the slider 344 and the locking pin 345 forward, and the locking pin 345 re-inserts into the corresponding locking hole 346 of the round block 342, thereby fixing the placement plate 33 again and ensuring that the placement plate 33 remains stable during the storage of shoes and will not rotate arbitrarily, thus ensuring the reliable operation of the shoe placement mechanism 3.
[0030] Operating principle and advantages: The lifting mechanism 2 of this device achieves flexible height adjustment of the shoe placement mechanism 3 through mechanical transmission. In use, the drive motor 22 is started, and the drive motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate. The lead screw 23 drives the movable block 24 to slide inside the rail frame 21 through thread transmission. The displacement of the movable block 24 causes the bearing plate 4 connected to its front to move vertically, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the shoe placement mechanism 3. During the shoe placement operation, the drive motor 22 can be controlled to rotate the lead screw 23 in the forward direction, driving the movable block 24 and the bearing plate 4 to move down, adjusting the shoe placement mechanism 3 to a height that is convenient for placing shoes. After the shoes are placed, the drive motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate in the reverse direction, causing the movable block 24 to move the shoe placement mechanism 3 to a higher position, thereby reducing the space occupied by the shoe placement mechanism 3 on the ground and improving the utilization rate of indoor space.
[0031] The shoe storage mechanism 3, in conjunction with the limiting component 34, achieves stable storage and space optimization for various types of shoes. For shoes with hanging structures, such as sneakers, slippers, and high heels, the limiting component 34 is operated to release the restriction on the storage plate 33, and the pivot 32 is adjusted to fold the storage plate 33. At this time, the hooks 37 on the storage plate 33 face upwards, allowing shoes to be hung on the hooks 37. The vertical storage plate 33 effectively reduces space occupation. When it is necessary to store shoes that cannot be hung, such as rain boots, the limiting component 34 is also used to release the restriction, adjusting the storage plate 33 to a horizontal position, and the storage slots 35 on the storage plate 33 are used to store the shoes. When the limiting component 34 is in operation, it pushes the push plate 347 to compress the slider 344 and the limiting spring 343. When the limiting spring 343 is under pressure, the locking pin 345 separates from the locking hole 346, releasing the limitation on the round block 342, allowing the rotating shaft 32 and the placement plate 33 to rotate freely. After the placement plate 33 rotates to the position, the push plate 347 is released, the limiting spring 343 resets and pushes the locking pin 345 to insert into the locking hole 346. Through the insertion and cooperation of the locking pin 345 and the locking hole 346, the placement plate 33 is stably installed, ensuring the stability and reliability of the shoe placement mechanism 3 under different usage conditions, and improving the overall convenience and space adaptability of the device.
