Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] A shelving unit is a common piece of furniture in homes, used to store everyday items, books, various decorations, and other goods. Most shelving units on the market typically consist of a support frame and at least one shelf. All shelves are arranged vertically, and each shelf is connected to a corresponding support frame on both sides of the same direction, thus forming a shelving unit.

[0003] However, in order to improve the flexibility and portability of the shelving, existing technologies generally set snap-fit ​​parts on both sides of the shelving, and the support frame is provided with corresponding insertion slots to match the snap-fit ​​parts. In this way, the shelving is assembled by inserting the snap-fit ​​parts into the corresponding insertion slots of the support frame, thereby forming a detachable connection between the shelving and the support frame.

[0004] However, when users take items off the shelves, if they accidentally bump or touch the shelf above, the latches on the shelf above will easily disengage from their corresponding slots, causing the shelf to tip over and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a storage rack to solve the problem in the prior art where the snap-fit ​​parts of the storage shelves can easily detach from the corresponding insertion slots of the support frame, causing the storage shelves to tip over.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is a storage rack, comprising:

[0007] A shelf, wherein at least one snap-fit ​​component is provided on both sides along the first direction;

[0008] The shelf is provided with support frames on both sides along the first direction, and each support frame is provided with a slot for the snap-fit ​​component. All the slots extend along the second direction to form a limiting slot.

[0009] The snap-fit ​​component is inserted into the corresponding insertion slot, and after insertion, it moves along the second direction to form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the limiting slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​component includes a first substrate and a second substrate;

[0011] The shelf is provided with a first substrate that is inclined downward on both sides along the first direction, and a second substrate is vertically connected to the bottom of the first substrate, the second substrate extending in the vertical direction.

[0012] The first substrate forms a surface contact with the top of the limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, receiving grooves are formed on the sides of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the corresponding placement shelf. After the bottom of the receiving groove makes surface contact with the bottom of the insertion groove, it is translated along the second direction so that the bottom of the receiving groove makes locking surface contact with the bottom of the limiting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a downwardly inclined guide plate is provided on the bottom side of the second substrate facing away from the shelf, the guide plate being used to guide the snap-fit ​​component to slide precisely into the insertion slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the width of the first substrate along the second direction is less than or equal to the length of the limiting groove along the second direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the insertion slot extends along the second direction to form a limiting groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the shelf also includes a cross support structure, with both sides of the cross support structure connected to the adjacent support frame, to improve the stability of the adjacent support frame.

[0018] Furthermore, the cross support structure includes at least two cross-arranged support rods, and the common intersection point of all the support rods is connected by a rotatable connector, which is configured to retain only rotational freedom about the axis of the intersection point;

[0019] Both ends of each of the support rods are connected to the corresponding support frame.

[0020] Furthermore, the end of the support rod is provided with a first threaded through hole, and the side wall of the support frame is coaxially provided with a second threaded through hole corresponding to the first threaded through hole;

[0021] The threaded fastener passes through the first threaded through hole and the second threaded through hole in sequence to form an interference fit.

[0022] Furthermore, the head of the threaded fastener is provided with an operating ring, which is used to enable manual tightening or loosening of the threaded fastener without tools.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention involves inserting the snap-fit ​​component of a shelf into the corresponding insertion slot, and then pushing the shelf along a second direction. This causes the snap-fit ​​component to move in the insertion slot and into the limiting slot, thus forming a snap-fit ​​engagement between the snap-fit ​​component and the limiting slot. Even if a user accidentally bumps or touches the upper shelf while taking items from the shelf, the snap-fit ​​component will not easily disengage from the corresponding insertion slot due to the snap-fit ​​relationship between the snap-fit ​​component and the limiting slot, preventing the shelf from tipping over and improving the user experience.

[0040] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, a feature pointed out in this specification is used to describe one feature of one embodiment of the present utility model, and does not imply that every embodiment of the present utility model must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly stated. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0041] The principle and structure of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] In existing technologies, snap-fit ​​components are typically provided on both sides of the shelf, and the support frame is provided with corresponding insertion slots for the snap-fit ​​components. In this way, the shelf is assembled by inserting the snap-fit ​​components into the corresponding insertion slots of the support frame, thereby forming a detachable connection between the shelf and the support frame.

[0043] However, when users take items off the shelves, if they accidentally bump or touch the shelf above, the latches on the shelf above will easily disengage from their corresponding slots, causing the shelf to tip over and affecting the user experience.

[0044] Therefore, in some embodiments, to address the problem that the snap-fit ​​connectors of the shelf can easily detach from the corresponding insertion slots of the support frame, causing the shelf to tip over, such as... Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model proposes a storage rack, comprising:

[0045] At least one shelf 10, wherein at least one snap-fit ​​member 101 is provided on both sides of the shelf 10 along the first direction;

[0046] The shelf 10 is provided with support frames 20 on both sides along the first direction. Each support frame 20 is provided with a insertion slot 201 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​member 101. All insertion slots 201 extend along the second direction to form a limiting slot 202.

[0047] The snap-fit ​​component 101 is inserted into the corresponding insertion slot 201, and after insertion, it moves along the second direction to form a snap-fit ​​engagement between the snap-fit ​​component 101 and the limiting slot 202.

[0048] It should be noted that the first direction proposed in this embodiment is preferably the length direction of the shelf 10, and the second direction is preferably the width direction of the shelf 10; of course, the first direction can also be the width direction of the shelf 10, and the second direction can also be the length direction of the shelf 10, which is not limited here. Furthermore, the bottom of the insertion groove 201 and the bottom of the limiting groove 202 are on the same plane along the second direction.

[0049] In this embodiment, two adjacent support frames 20 are vertically arranged first, and then multiple shelf panels 10 are vertically arranged and spaced apart between the two support frames 20. At this time, the snap-fit ​​parts 101 of the shelf panels 10 need to be matched and inserted into the corresponding insertion slots 201. Then, the shelf panels 10 are pushed along the second direction so that the snap-fit ​​parts 101 move in the insertion slots 201 and enter the limiting slots 202 in the second direction. This makes the snap-fit ​​parts 101 and the limiting slots 202 form a snap-fit ​​engagement. In this way, even if the user accidentally bumps or touches the shelf panel 10 located above when taking or placing items on the shelf panel 10, the snap-fit ​​parts 101 will not easily disengage from the corresponding insertion slots 201 due to the snap-fit ​​relationship between the snap-fit ​​parts 101 and the limiting slots 202. This prevents the shelf panels 10 from tipping over and improves the user experience.

[0050] Understandably, the limiting groove 202 locks the final position of the latching member 101, so that the latching member 101 only retains translational movement along the second direction, avoiding multi-degree-of-freedom swaying and affecting the stability of the shelf.

[0051] To improve the connection stability between the shelf 10 and the support frame 20, the shelf 10 is provided with two snap-fit ​​pieces 101 on both sides along the first direction and along the second direction. Of course, the shelf 10 may also be provided with three or more snap-fit ​​pieces 101 on both sides along the first direction and along the second direction, which is not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, to ensure that the snap-fit ​​component 101 can smoothly translate into the limiting groove 202 along the second direction within the insertion slot 201, such as... Figures 2-3 As shown, the bottom of the insertion groove 201 extends along the second direction to form a limiting groove 202.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​component 101 includes a first substrate 1011 and a second substrate 1012;

[0054] The shelf 10 has a first substrate 1011 that is inclined downward on both sides along the first direction. The bottom of the first substrate 1011 is vertically connected to a second substrate 1012, which extends in the vertical direction.

[0055] The first substrate 1011 forms a surface contact with the top of the limiting groove 202.

[0056] It should be noted that the downward tilt proposed in this embodiment is preferably tilted towards the ground.

[0057] In this way, the second substrate 1012 and the first substrate 1011 are inserted into the insertion slot 201 in sequence. Then, the user can push the shelf 10 in the second direction so that the latching member 101 moves in the insertion slot 201 and enters the limiting slot 202 in the second direction, so that the latching member 101 and the limiting slot 202 form a latching engagement. In this way, even if the user accidentally bumps or touches the shelf 10 located above when taking or placing items on the shelf 10, the latching member 101 will not easily disengage from the corresponding insertion slot 201 due to the latching relationship between the latching member 101 and the limiting slot 202, thereby preventing the shelf 10 from tipping over and improving the user experience.

[0058] Furthermore, when the shelf 10 is subjected to a large external force, causing it to lift upwards, the first substrate 1011 will abut against the top of the limiting groove 202 to form a surface contact, thereby preventing the first substrate 1011 from disengaging from the limiting groove 202, and thus preventing the snap-fit ​​101 from completely disengaging from the limiting groove 202. This prevents the shelf 10 from tipping over or coming off, ensuring that the items on the shelf 10 will not fall off completely, thus improving the user experience.

[0059] To improve the smoothness of the snap-fit ​​component 101's translational movement along the second direction into the limiting groove 202 within the insertion slot 201 and reduce assembly difficulty, such as... Figure 2As shown, the sides of the first substrate 1011, the second substrate 1012 and the corresponding shelf 10 form a receiving groove 1014. After the bottom of the receiving groove 1014 forms a surface contact with the bottom of the insertion groove 201, it is translated along the second direction so that the bottom of the receiving groove 1014 forms a locking surface contact with the bottom of the limiting groove 202.

[0060] In this way, the second substrate 1012 and the first substrate 1011 are inserted into the insertion slot 201 in sequence, so that the bottom of the receiving slot 1014 of the same shelf 10 first forms a surface contact with the bottom of the corresponding insertion slot 201. Then the user can push the shelf 10 in the second direction so that the snap-fit ​​101 moves in the insertion slot 201 in the second direction and enters the limiting slot 202. At this time, the bottom of the receiving slot 1014 will form a locking surface contact with the bottom of the limiting slot 202 so that the snap-fit ​​101 and the limiting slot 202 form a snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0061] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a downwardly inclined guide plate 1013 is provided on the bottom side of the second substrate 1012 facing away from the shelf 10. The guide plate 1013 is used to guide the snap-fit ​​member 101 to slide precisely into the insertion slot 201.

[0062] It should be noted that the downward tilt proposed in this embodiment is preferably tilted towards the ground.

[0063] Therefore, the snap-fit ​​101 can be precisely slid into the insertion slot 201 via the guide plate 1013, avoiding misalignment during installation and facilitating the installation of the shelf 10; and the guide plate 1013 can expand the effective contact range and reduce the requirements for operational precision.

[0064] In a further embodiment, the width of the first substrate 1011 along the second direction is less than or equal to the length of the limiting groove 202 along the second direction.

[0065] It should be noted that the widths of the first substrate 1011, the second substrate 1012, and the guide plate 1013 along the second direction are all the same.

[0066] In this way, the limiting groove 202 can completely accommodate the first substrate 1011, that is, the limiting groove 202 can completely accommodate the snap-fit ​​member 101. This ensures that when the snap-fit ​​member 101 moves in the second direction within the insertion groove 201 and completely enters the limiting groove 202, no part of the snap-fit ​​member 101 will extend into the insertion groove 201. This ensures the snap-fit ​​stability between the snap-fit ​​member 101 and the corresponding limiting groove 202, and ensures that the snap-fit ​​member 101 will not easily detach from the corresponding limiting groove 202.

[0067] Of course, in other embodiments, the width of the first substrate 1011 along the second direction is greater than the length of the limiting groove 202 along the second direction, which is not limited here.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes one structural composition of the support frame 20, which includes:

[0069] Two parallel vertical columns 203, the axis of which is perpendicular to the ground;

[0070] A horizontal bar 204 is horizontally arranged between the two columns 203 along the second direction, and the horizontal bar 204 is vertically connected to the columns 203; the horizontal bar 204 is provided with a plug groove 201 and a limiting groove 202 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​member 101.

[0071] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component 101 of the shelf 10 is inserted into the insertion slot 201 of the crossbar 204 of the two support frames 20 at the same vertical height. Then, the shelf 10 is pushed along the second direction so that the snap-fit ​​component 101 moves in the insertion slot 201 and enters the limiting slot 202, thereby forming a snap-fit ​​engagement between the snap-fit ​​component 101 and the limiting slot 202. By following the above steps, multiple shelf 10s are assembled on the two support frames 20 to form a shelf.

[0072] Of course, when disassembly is required, simply push the shelf 10 out in the opposite direction of its insertion direction, and the snap-fit ​​101 can be pushed back from the limiting groove 202 to the insertion groove 201 in the second direction. Then, the user can lift the shelf 10 upwards to complete the disassembly of the shelf.

[0073] In some embodiments, both the column 203 and the crossbar 204 are preferably hollow structures, and the shape of the crossbar 204 proposed in this embodiment is preferably a square bar. In order to strengthen the structural strength of the insertion groove 201, the insertion groove 201 is provided on the folded edge structure of the crossbar 204.

[0074] In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the shelf, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shelf also includes a cross support structure 30, the two sides of which are connected to the adjacent support frame 20 to improve the stability of the adjacent support frame 20.

[0075] In this way, after multiple shelves 10 are assembled vertically between two support frames 20 to form a shelf, the user then connects the two sides of the cross support structure 30 to one support frame 20 respectively, thereby limiting the lateral displacement of the support frame 20, preventing deformation or instability, ensuring the overall frame is firm, and thus enhancing the structural stability of the entire shelf. In addition, the cross support structure 30 can strengthen the shelf's resistance to deformation, improve its overall rigidity, maintain its shape under load, and improve load-bearing efficiency. Furthermore, the cross support structure 30 can also evenly distribute external forces (such as impacts or vibrations when items are placed) to the support frame 20, reducing local stress concentration.

[0076] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment presents one of the structural components of the cross-support structure 30:

[0077] The cross support structure 30 includes at least two cross-arranged support rods 301, and all the support rods 301 are connected by a rotating connector 302, which is configured to retain only rotational freedom about the axis of the cross point.

[0078] Both ends of all the support rods 301 are connected to the corresponding support frame 20.

[0079] It should be noted that this embodiment uses two cross-arranged support rods 301 as an example. The rotating connector 302 proposed in this embodiment is preferably a bolt or a pin.

[0080] In this way, the user can select the relative opening angle of the two support rods 301 according to the actual situation, then maintain the opening angle, and then connect the two ends of the support rods 301 to the corresponding support frames 20 respectively, thereby completing the installation of the cross support structure 30 on the shelf.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cross support structure 30 includes three cross-arranged support rods 301, which are located in the middle and connected at a common intersection point by a rotating connector 302; and the two ends of the three support rods 301 are respectively connected to the corresponding support frame 20.

[0082] In a further embodiment, to ensure the flexibility and portability of the shelf, the support rod 301 is detachably connected to the corresponding support frame 20, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the end of the support rod 301 is provided with a first threaded through hole (not shown, same throughout the text), and the side wall of the support frame 20 (equivalent to the side wall of the column 203) is coaxially provided with a second threaded through hole (not shown, same throughout the text) corresponding to the first threaded through hole;

[0083] The threaded fastener 303 passes through the first threaded through hole and the second threaded through hole in sequence and forms an interference fit.

[0084] It should be noted that the threaded fastener 303 proposed in this embodiment is preferably a bolt. Of course, an elastic washer is provided on the threaded fastener 303 to improve the vibration resistance of the threaded fastener 303.

[0085] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the head of the threaded fastener 303 is provided with an operating ring 304, which is used to manually tighten or loosen the threaded fastener 303 without tools.

[0086] In this way, when disassembling or assembling the cross support structure 30, the user only needs to hold or grip the operating ring 304 with their hand, thereby transmitting torque through the grip of their fingers, realizing manual tightening or loosening of the threaded fastener 303 without tools, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the column 203 is provided with a base 205. The base 205 is made of a highly elastic and highly damping material, such as rubber or silicone. When the column 203 is subjected to external vibration or impact, the base 205 can quickly absorb and disperse energy, greatly reducing the vibration amplitude and minimizing the damage to the column 203 and the items it supports. In addition, the contact surface between the base 205 and the ground is covered with a non-slip layer, increasing the friction between the contact surface and the base. This ensures that the column 203 remains stable whether the shelf is placed on a smooth marble floor, a damp tile surface, or other slippery environments.

[0088] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
