Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage rack technology, and in particular to a double-layer stretchable beverage rack with a limiting structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life, beverage consumption scenarios are becoming increasingly diversified, from home beverage storage to convenient access in commercial venues. Efficient space management and user experience have become core requirements. Beverage racks, as storage solutions specifically designed for liquid containers, originated from innovations in traditional storage methods.
[0003] When beverage racks are in use, the beverage storage devices typically employ a fixed single-layer structure with non-adjustable box width, only suitable for canned beverages of specific sizes. For example, most household refrigerator racks have a rigid frame design, with no adjustable spacing between upper and lower layers or lateral width. This structure has obvious compatibility defects when dealing with beverage cans of different diameters, such as slender aluminum cans and short, thick energy drink cans. Overly narrow boxes make it difficult to fit large beverage cans, while overly wide boxes make it difficult to keep small beverage cans stable, making them prone to tipping over due to bumps or human contact. In addition, the single-layer design has low storage efficiency in limited space and cannot meet both capacity and flexibility requirements.
[0004] Therefore, to address the issue of adjusting the width of the double-layered beverage rack for different sized canned beverages in confined spaces, a double-layered stretchable beverage rack with a limiting structure can be designed. When in use, this double-layered stretchable beverage rack achieves stable stretching and fixation through modular assembly and a multi-level limiting structure. When assembling the upper and lower layers, firstly, the lower ends of the two sets of N-shaped brackets are respectively inserted into the top inner wall of the lower layer, and then the upper ends of the N-shaped brackets are inserted into the bottom inner wall of the upper layer. The upper and lower boxes are vertically connected to form a double-layer frame structure. When the double-layer stretchable beverage rack is in use, the user stretches the lower box to the sides. At this time, the lower box and the upper box slide laterally through the lateral stretching structure, generating sliding friction. Therefore, the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, which inhibits the boxes from sliding randomly. In summary, this beverage rack, through structural optimization and functional integration, allows for adjustment of the box width in limited space scenarios through the lateral stretching structure, adapting to canned beverages of different sizes, thus balancing versatility and flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that beverage racks typically use a fixed single-layer structure with an adjustable box width, which can only accommodate canned beverages of a specific size, making it inconvenient to adjust the width of the double-layer box to accommodate canned beverages of different sizes in limited space scenarios.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a double-layer stretchable beverage rack with a limiting structure, including a lower box that can be stretched laterally, an upper box that can be stretched laterally above the lower box, and an N-type bracket. The N-type bracket is symmetrically arranged between the upper box and the lower box for assembling and connecting the upper box and the lower box. Lateral stretching components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper box and the lower box for lateral stretching of the upper box and the lower box.
[0007] Preferably, when the beverage rack is in use, the double-layer stretchable beverage rack achieves stable stretching and fixation through modular assembly and a multi-level limiting structure. When assembling the upper and lower boxes, the lower ends of the two sets of N-shaped brackets are first inserted into the top inner wall of the lower box, and then the upper ends of the N-shaped brackets are inserted into the bottom inner wall of the upper box, completing the vertical connection between the upper and lower boxes and forming a double-layer frame structure. When the double-layer stretchable beverage rack is in use, the user stretches the lower box laterally to both sides. At this time, the lower box and the upper box slide laterally through the lateral stretching structure, generating sliding friction. Therefore, the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, inhibiting the box from sliding arbitrarily. In summary, through structural optimization and functional integration, this beverage rack can adjust the width of the box in a limited space scenario, adapting to canned beverages of different sizes, taking into account both versatility and flexibility.
[0008] Preferably, the lower box includes an outer box and an inner box, the lower box being composed of an outer box and a laterally stretchable inner box, and the upper box includes an outer box and an inner box, the upper box being composed of an outer box and a laterally stretchable inner box.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom walls of the inner cavities of the outer box, inner box, outer box, and inner box are all inclined slopes, and the slope of the inner cavity of the lower box is opposite to that of the inner cavity of the upper box. A sliding opening is provided at the lower part of the inclined slope of the upper box.
[0010] Preferably, the transverse stretching assembly includes a sliding groove and a limiting post. The outer box and the inner cavity bottom wall of the outer box are respectively provided with sliding grooves. The inner box and the bottom wall of the inner box are respectively provided with limiting posts at corresponding positions. The side wall of the limiting post is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove, and the lower end ring of the limiting post extends to the bottom outside of the sliding groove.
[0011] Preferably, the transverse stretching assembly also includes a guide groove, a guide rod, and a guide block. Guide grooves are respectively opened through the top outer periphery of the outer box and the outer side box along both sides. A guide rod is fixedly installed inside the guide groove. Guide blocks are fixedly installed at corresponding positions on the bottom wall of the top outer periphery of the inner box and the inner side box. Friction textures are opened on the side wall of the guide rod. The guide block is set on the side wall of the guide rod, and the inner wall of the guide block and the outer wall of the guide rod generate sliding friction.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of locking blocks are fixedly installed at both ends of the N-type bracket. The top edge inner wall of the outer box, inner box, outer box, and inner box are all provided with corresponding locking slots, and the locking blocks and locking slots engage with each other.
[0013] Preferably, fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom wall of the outer box and the inner box. The fixing blocks have snap-fit grooves inside. A detachable anti-slip pad is provided below the fixing blocks. A snap-fit block is fixedly arranged above the anti-slip pad. The snap-fit block and the snap-fit groove engage with each other.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. When in use, this double-layer stretchable beverage rack achieves stable stretching and fixation through modular assembly and a multi-level limiting structure. When assembling the upper and lower boxes, the lower ends of the two sets of N-shaped brackets are first inserted into the top inner wall of the lower box, and then the upper ends of the N-shaped brackets are inserted into the bottom inner wall of the upper box, completing the vertical connection between the upper and lower boxes and forming a double-layer frame structure. When using the double-layer stretchable beverage rack, the user stretches the lower box laterally to both sides. At this time, the lower and upper boxes slide laterally through the lateral stretching structure, generating sliding friction. Therefore, the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, inhibiting the boxes from sliding freely. In summary, this beverage rack, through structural optimization and functional integration, allows for adjustable box width in limited space scenarios through the lateral stretching structure, adapting to canned beverages of different sizes, thus balancing versatility and flexibility.
[0016] 2. To further prevent slippage, the bottom of the outer box and the inner box are fixed by snap-fit grooves and snap-fit blocks of the anti-slip pads. Multiple sets of anti-slip pads enhance the friction with the contact surface and prevent the box from shifting due to external force or tilting.
[0017] 3. The inner walls of the lower and upper boxes are designed with opposite slopes. When a canned beverage is placed in the upper box, the lower sliding opening can guide the canned beverage to slide naturally into the lower box, achieving automatic replacement. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment: a double-layer stretchable beverage rack with a limiting structure, including a horizontally stretchable lower box, an horizontally stretchable upper box above the lower box, and an N-type bracket 1. The N-type bracket 1 is symmetrically arranged between the upper and lower boxes for assembling and connecting the upper and lower boxes. Horizontal stretching components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper and lower boxes for horizontal stretching of the upper and lower boxes.
[0028] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The lower box consists of an outer box 2 and an inner box 3, with the outer box 2 and the laterally stretchable inner box 3 forming the lower box. The upper box consists of an outer box 4 and an inner box 5, with the outer box 4 and the laterally stretchable inner box 5 forming the upper box. In confined space, the laterally stretchable structure allows for adjustment of the box width, accommodating canned beverages of different sizes, thus balancing versatility and flexibility. The bottom walls of the inner cavities of the outer box 2, inner box 3, outer box 4, and inner box 5 are all sloping surfaces, with the slope of the lower box's inner cavity opposite in direction to that of the upper box. A sliding opening is provided at the lower part of the sloping surface of the upper box, allowing the canned beverage to be placed in the upper box. When the beverage is in use, the lower sliding opening guides the canned beverage to slide naturally through the opening to the lower box, achieving automatic replacement. The lateral stretching component includes a sliding groove 6 and a limiting post 7. The inner bottom walls of the outer box 2 and the outer box 4 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 6. The bottom walls of the inner box 3 and the inner box 5 are respectively provided with limiting posts 7 at corresponding positions. The side walls of the limiting posts 7 are slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 6, and the lower end of the limiting post 7 extends to the bottom outside of the sliding groove 6. When the user stretches the outer box 2 and the inner box 3, or the outer box 4 and the inner box 5 laterally, the limiting post 7 of the inner box 3 slides laterally along the sliding groove 6 of the outer box 2.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transverse stretching assembly also includes a guide groove 8, a guide rod 9, and a guide block 10. Guide grooves 8 are respectively provided along the edges of the top outer periphery of the outer box 2 and the outer box 4. A guide rod 9 is fixedly installed inside the guide groove 8. Guide blocks 10 are fixedly installed at corresponding positions along the bottom walls of the top outer periphery of the inner box 3 and the inner box 5. Friction patterns are provided on the sidewalls of the guide rod 9. The guide block 10 is located on the sidewalls of the guide rod 9, and the inner wall of the guide block 10 slides against the outer wall of the guide rod 9. Due to the friction patterns on the sidewalls of the guide rod 9, and the guide block 10 of the inner box 5 slides along the guide rod 9 of the outer box 4... Sliding friction is generated, so the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, which inhibits the box from sliding freely. Multiple sets of locking blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both ends of the N-type bracket 1. The top edge inner wall of the outer box 2, inner box 3, outer box 4, and inner box 5 are respectively provided with locking grooves 12. The locking blocks 11 and locking grooves 12 are engaged with each other. First, the lower end locking blocks 11 of the two sets of N-type bracket 1 are respectively inserted into the top locking grooves 12 of the outer box 2 and the inner box 3. Then, the upper end locking blocks 11 of the N-type bracket 1 are inserted into the bottom locking grooves 12 of the outer box 4 and the inner box 5, thus completing the vertical connection of the upper and lower boxes and forming a double-layer frame structure.
[0030] When the beverage rack is in use, the double-layer stretchable beverage rack achieves stable stretching and fixation through modular assembly and multi-level limiting structure. When assembling the upper and lower boxes, firstly, the lower end blocks 11 of the two sets of N-type brackets 1 are respectively inserted into the top slots 12 of the outer box 2 and the inner box 3. Then, the upper end blocks 11 of the N-type brackets 1 are inserted into the bottom slots 12 of the outer box 4 and the inner box 5 to complete the vertical connection of the upper and lower boxes and form a double-layer frame structure.
[0031] When using the double-layer stretchable beverage rack, the user stretches the outer box 2 and the inner box 3, or the outer box 4 and the inner box 5, laterally to both sides. At this time, the limiting post 7 of the inner box 3 slides laterally along the sliding groove 6 of the outer box 2. Since the guide rod 9 has friction texture on its side wall, and the guide block 10 of the inner box 5 generates sliding friction along the guide rod 9 of the outer box 4, the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, which inhibits the box from sliding randomly.
[0032] In addition, the inner walls of the lower and upper boxes are designed with opposite slopes. When the canned beverage is placed in the upper box, the lower sliding opening can guide the canned beverage to slide naturally through the sliding opening to the lower box, thus achieving automatic replacement.
[0033] This beverage rack features a quick-assembly system for the upper and lower compartments using an N-type bracket 1. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, and its robust structure adapts to various storage needs. The dual sliding structure, consisting of a sliding groove 6, a limiting post 7, a guide rod 9, and a guide block 10, combined with frictional resistance, effectively controls the stretching range and prevents uncontrolled sliding, enhancing safety. The reverse-sloping surface and drop-off design allow canned beverages on the upper compartment to slide to the lower compartment, optimizing space utilization and reducing the need for manual adjustments. Through structural optimization and functional integration, this beverage rack allows for adjustable box widths in limited spaces, accommodating canned beverages of different sizes, thus combining versatility and flexibility.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that fixing blocks 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom wall of the outer box 2 and the inner box 3. The fixing blocks 13 have snap-fit grooves 14 inside. A detachable anti-slip pad 15 is arranged below the fixing blocks 13. A snap-fit block 16 is fixedly arranged above the anti-slip pad 15. The snap-fit block 16 and the snap-fit groove 14 engage with each other.
[0036] To further prevent slippage, the bottom of the outer box 2 and the inner box 3 are fixed to the anti-slip pads 15 by the snap-fit groove 14 and the snap-fit block 16. Multiple sets of anti-slip pads 15 enhance the friction with the contact surface and prevent the box from shifting due to external force or tilting.
[0037] Through the above steps, when the beverage rack is in use, the double-layer stretchable beverage rack achieves stable stretching and fixation through modular assembly and a multi-level limiting structure. When assembling the upper and lower boxes, firstly, the lower ends of the two sets of N-type brackets 1 are respectively inserted into the top inner wall of the lower box, and then the upper ends of the N-type brackets 1 are inserted into the bottom inner wall of the upper box, completing the vertical connection between the upper and lower boxes and forming a double-layer frame structure. When the double-layer stretchable beverage rack is in use, when the user stretches the lower box laterally to both sides, the lower box and the upper box slide laterally through the lateral stretching structure, generating sliding friction. Therefore, the two generate frictional resistance through physical contact, inhibiting the box from sliding arbitrarily. In summary, through structural optimization and functional integration, this beverage rack can adjust the width of the box in a limited space scenario through the lateral stretching structure, adapting to canned beverages of different sizes, taking into account both versatility and flexibility.
[0038] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
