Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically to a shelf. Background Technology
[0002] In modern warehousing and logistics, racking serves as a crucial facility for storing goods, and its structural rationality and convenience directly impact warehousing efficiency and operating costs. The vertical and horizontal beams of the racking are the core supporting components, and the connection structure between them is key to the overall stability and reliability of the racking system.
[0003] Currently, the connection structures between vertical and horizontal beams in common shelving systems on the market have many problems that urgently need to be solved. Among them, the most prominent is the complexity of the connection structure design. Such complex structures often contain multiple components, and the assembly relationships between these components are cumbersome. This not only increases the difficulty and cost of manufacturing, but also makes the entire connection structure face many inconveniences in practical applications.
[0004] Due to the complex connection structure, installation and disassembly become extremely inconvenient. When installing the shelving, operators need to spend a significant amount of time and effort understanding the assembly sequence and interrelationships of each component. Similarly, disassembling or adjusting the shelving requires complex procedures, which undoubtedly poses a major obstacle to flexible adjustments to warehouse space and the maintenance and upgrading of the shelving. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a shelf to solve the problem of difficulty in installing and removing crossbeams on vertical beams in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: a shelf, including crossbeams and vertical beams, having four vertical beams and at least three crossbeams, with at least one connector provided at each end of the crossbeams, each crossbeam being detachably disposed between two adjacent vertical beams via connectors, and the crossbeams being perpendicular to the vertical beams, the multiple crossbeams forming a frame structure, and the vertical beams forming multiple sets of frame structures in the vertical direction;
[0007] The connector includes two connecting plates symmetrically arranged on the sides of the crossbeam along its length. The ends of the two connecting plates away from the crossbeam are bent in opposite directions, so that a groove for the vertical beam to be inserted is formed between the connecting plates and the crossbeam.
[0008] An insertion hole is formed on the vertical beam. The lower edge of the insertion hole extends downward to form a fixing hole. The width of the insertion hole is greater than the width of the connector. The width of the fixing hole is greater than the distance between the two slots and less than the width of the connector. The distance between the end of the connector away from the crossbeam and the crossbeam is equal to the thickness of the vertical beam.
[0009] Furthermore, in the frame structure, a first reinforcing plate connects two adjacent crossbeams.
[0010] Furthermore, in the frame structure, a second reinforcing plate connects the two opposing crossbeams.
[0011] Furthermore, the frame structure is detachably fitted with shelves for placing items.
[0012] Furthermore, the connector is formed by sheet metal processing after cutting grooves in the crossbeam.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The shelving provided by this utility model, through the set connectors, allows workers to quickly install and remove the crossbeams from the vertical beams to form a shelving unit. It can also be quickly adjusted when adjusting the height of the frame structure or when maintaining the shelving, thereby improving the practicality of the shelving. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a shelf, including crossbeams 1 and vertical beams 2. There are four vertical beams 2 and at least three crossbeams 1. Each crossbeam 1 is provided with at least one connector 3 near both ends. Each crossbeam 1 is detachably set between two adjacent vertical beams 2 through the connector 3. The crossbeams 1 are perpendicular to the vertical beams 2. Multiple crossbeams 1 form a frame structure (when there are three crossbeams 1, the three crossbeams 1 form a frame structure with one side open; when there are four crossbeams 1, the four crossbeams 1 form a closed frame structure). Multiple sets of frame structures are formed in the vertical direction of the vertical beams 2.
[0023] The connector 3 includes two connecting plates symmetrically arranged on the sides of the crossbeam 1 along its length. The ends of the two connecting plates away from the crossbeam 1 are bent in opposite directions, so that a groove for the vertical beam 2 to be inserted is formed between the connecting plates and the crossbeam 1.
[0024] An insertion hole 21 is formed on the vertical beam 2. The lower edge of the insertion hole 21 extends downward to form a fixing hole 22. The width of the insertion hole 21 is greater than the width of the connector 3. The width of the fixing hole 22 is greater than the distance between the two slots and less than the width of the connector 3. When the connector 3 is inserted into the fixing hole 22, the crossbeam 1 will not fall off the vertical beam 2 because the width of the fixing hole 22 is less than the width of the connector 3.
[0025] When installing the shelving, insert the connector 3 into the insertion hole 21, and tap the crossbeam 1 downwards to move it downwards, allowing the connector 3 to enter the fixing hole 22 and the vertical beam 2 to be embedded in the slot. Since the width of the fixing hole 22 is smaller than the width of the connector 3, the crossbeam 1 will not fall off the vertical beam 2. At least three crossbeams 1 are fixed between two vertical beams 2 in sequence, so that the crossbeam 1 and four vertical beams 2 form a frame structure. It is foreseeable that the distance between two adjacent frame structures can also be adjusted by removing the crossbeam 1.
[0026] To enhance the stability of the shelving, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first reinforcing plate 5 is connected between two adjacent crossbeams 1 in the frame structure; to further enhance the stability of the shelving, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second reinforcing plate 6 is connected between two opposing crossbeams 1 in the frame structure.
[0027] To enhance the functionality of the shelving, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a shelf 4 for placing items is detachably laid inside the frame structure.
[0028] In one specific embodiment, the connector 3 is formed by sheet metal processing after cutting a machining groove 11 on the crossbeam 1.
[0029] The shelving unit, with its connector 3, allows workers to quickly install and remove the crossbeams 1 from the vertical beams 2 to form the shelving unit. It also allows for quick adjustments to the height of the frame structure or maintenance of the shelving unit, thus improving the practicality of the shelving unit.
[0030] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
