[0042] Please see Figures 1-6This application provides a storage rack 10 for storing sports equipment. The storage rack 10 includes two spaced-apart support bases 11 and a support frame 12. The support frame 12 is located between the two support bases 11 and connected to the support bases 11. There are multiple support frames 12, which are spaced apart along a first direction Z, where Z is the height direction of the support bases 11. Each support frame 12 includes multiple hanging posts 121, which are spaced apart along a second direction X, where X is the arrangement direction of the support bases 11.

[0043] In the storage rack 10 of this application embodiment, by setting up multi-layer support racks 12 arranged at intervals along the height direction, and setting multiple hanging columns 121 at intervals along the arrangement direction of the support base 11 on each support rack 12, the vertical space utilization rate can be significantly improved, realizing multi-layer three-dimensional storage of sports equipment such as dumbbells; at the same time, the interval setting of the hanging columns 121 provides flexible hanging points, allowing equipment of different sizes and shapes to flexibly choose the hanging position for combination storage according to actual needs, effectively meeting the needs of efficient and orderly management of diverse equipment, and facilitating quick access for users.

[0044] Specifically, the support base 11 can be a component that provides support in the storage rack 10. The support base 11 is roughly rectangular, and two support bases 11 can be arranged symmetrically at intervals. The support base 11 can be made of various materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, aluminum alloy, and other metal materials.

[0045] The support base 11 determines the storage space of the storage rack 10. The height of the support base 11 is the height of the storage rack 10, the distance between the two support bases 11 is the length of the storage rack 10, and the width of the support base 11 is the depth of the storage rack 10. The height direction of the support base 11 is defined as the first direction Z, the width direction of the storage rack 10 (i.e., the arrangement direction of the two support bases 11) is defined as the second direction X, and the width direction of the support base 11 (the depth direction of the storage rack 10) is defined as the third direction Y.

[0046] The support frame 12 is the part of the storage rack 10 used to store sports equipment, which can be, but is not limited to, weight equipment such as dumbbells and barbells. The support frame 12 is disposed between two support seats 11 and connected to each support seat 11. The connection method can be screwed, welded, snap-fitted, riveted, etc., and is not limited to any specific method. For example, in this embodiment, the support frame 12 and the support seat 11 can be screwed together, which facilitates quick assembly between the support frame 12 and the support seat 11.

[0047] The support frame 12 may include multiple supports, such as two, three, four or even more. Multiple supports are arranged in an array with spacing along the first direction Z, thus dividing the space into multiple storage areas. The space of different storage areas may be equal or unequal.

[0048] Each support frame 12 may include multiple hanging posts 121 extending along a third direction X. Each hanging post 121 can support one or more sports equipment. The length of the hanging post 121 may be slightly shorter than the width of the support frame 12. Within each support frame 12, the hanging posts 121 are arranged at intervals along a second direction X. The interval between adjacent hanging posts 121 may be related to the specifications of the equipment and is not limited in specific terms.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, at least some of the support frames 12 have different dimensions of the hanging posts 121 and different hanging post spacing dimensions D, where the hanging post spacing dimension D is the distance between adjacent hanging posts 121.

[0050] In this way, by setting the hanging column size and hanging column spacing size D (i.e. the spacing distance between adjacent hanging columns 121) of at least some of the support frames 12 to be different, it is possible to accurately adapt to the different suspension needs of sports equipment of different specifications and shapes, and significantly improve storage compatibility; different support layers can be specially optimized for specific types or size ranges of equipment, realize efficient management of equipment by layer classification, and avoid space waste or unstable suspension caused by single hanging column size or spacing, further optimizing space utilization and access safety.

[0051] Please refer to further information. Figure 1-2 In some embodiments, along the first direction Z, the dimensions of the hanging columns of some of the support frames 12 decrease sequentially, and the spacing dimension D between the hanging columns also decreases sequentially.

[0052] Different support frames 12 can support dumbbells of different sizes. For example, along the first direction Z, the support frame 12 includes a first support frame, a second support frame, and a third support frame arranged sequentially, with the first support frame located at the bottom. The hanging post size of the first support frame is larger than that of the hanging post 121 of the second support frame, and the hanging post size of the second support frame is larger than that of the hanging post 121 of the third support frame. The hanging post spacing dimension D of the first support frame is larger than that of the second support frame, and the hanging post spacing dimension D of the second support frame is larger than that of the third support frame. The first support frame is used to support 8-pound dumbbells, the second support frame is used to support 5-pound dumbbells, and the third support frame is used to support 2-pound dumbbells.

[0053] Thus, by progressively decreasing the size of the hanging posts and the spacing D along the height of the support frame 12, a gradient and adaptive zoning for the storage of sports equipment can be achieved. The upper support frame 12, with its smaller hanging post size and smaller spacing, is optimized to meet the delicate suspension needs of small, lightweight equipment; while the lower support frame 12, with its larger hanging post size and larger spacing, supports large, heavy equipment such as kettlebells or barbell plates. This top-to-bottom dimensional gradient layout not only highly conforms to ergonomics, significantly improving operational convenience and safety, but also maximizes the use of vertical space, avoiding the space mismatch and waste caused by uniform size design, and achieving precise correspondence and efficient management between equipment size and storage space hierarchy.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the storage rack 10 further includes a storage plate 13, which is connected between two support bases 11 and spaced apart from the support frame 12 along the first direction Z. The storage plate 13 may be covered with leather, making it warm to the touch and wear-resistant. The storage plate 13 is used to store sports equipment with flat bottoms or unsuitable for hanging, such as kettlebell balls, medicine balls, storage boxes, or yoga mat rolls.

[0055] Thus, by adding the storage board 13, the functions of hanging storage and flat placement are complemented and combined. The storage board 13 provides a stable and continuous support plane, which can be used to store sports equipment with flat bottoms or unsuitable for hanging, such as kettlebell balls, medicine balls, storage boxes or yoga mat rolls. Furthermore, the spacing between the storage board 13 and the support frame 12 in the height direction allows the hanging storage area and the flat placement area to operate synchronously without interference, maximizing the use of the vertical space of the frame and significantly expanding storage compatibility.

[0056] Please refer to further information. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the support base 11 includes a support portion 111 and a bottom support plate 112, which are detachably connected to the carrier frame 12, and the bottom support plate 112 is located at the bottom of the support portion 111.

[0057] Thus, the support section 111 and the bottom support plate 112 allow users to quickly disassemble, assemble, or replace specific components, greatly simplifying transportation, storage, and subsequent maintenance, and reducing space occupation and logistics costs. At the same time, the bottom support plate 112, located at the bottom of the support section 111, effectively increases the contact area between the frame and the ground, improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. In particular, it ensures that heavy sports equipment (such as heavy kettlebells and barbell plates) is not easily tipped over, thus ensuring safety during use.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the support portion 111 has a threaded hole 113, which is located on the side of the support portion 111 opposite to the support frame 12 along the second direction X. There may be one or more threaded holes 113, and the specific number is not limited.

[0059] Thus, by opening a threaded hole 113 on the side of the support 111 facing away from the support frame 12 along the second direction X, a standardized and concealed interface is provided for the installation of subsequent expansion accessories, enhancing the functional expansion potential of the frame. This allows for the addition of longitudinal expansion frames such as yoga mats and yoga balls, lateral hooks, signage, or reinforcing rods as needed, enabling lateral installation and operation of the connectors. This greatly improves the ease and safety of assembling, disassembling, or adjusting the height of the support frame 12, avoiding tool interference with suspended equipment. Simultaneously, the design of the outer stress point optimizes the torque distribution of the connection structure, enhancing the torsional stiffness and overall stability of the connection node between the support 111 and the support frame 12.

[0060] In some embodiments, the support frame 12 further includes mounting rods 122, which are detachably connected to two support portions 111 respectively, and the hanging posts 121 are mounted on the mounting rods 122. The mounting rods 122 can be made of high-strength metal materials, such as aluminum alloy or steel, and both ends of the mounting rods 122 along their length are detachably connected to the support portions 111 by means of snap-fit, screw-fit, or other methods. Multiple hanging posts 121 are arranged along the length of the mounting rods 122 and fixedly mounted on the mounting rods 122, and the mounting methods can be screw-fit, snap-fit, welding, riveting, etc.

[0061] Thus, by adding mounting rods 122 that are detachably connected to the two support parts 111 respectively, and installing the hanging columns 121 on the mounting rods 122, the overall integrity, structural rigidity and installation efficiency of the support frame 12 are significantly enhanced. The mounting rods 122, as the core connecting beams, effectively integrate the distributed load of the hanging columns 121 and evenly transfer the force to the support parts 111 on both sides, which greatly improves the bending and deformation resistance of the single-layer support frame 12 when suspending heavy objects, and ensures the structural stability for long-term use. At the same time, this design realizes the "whole-layer modularization" of the support frame 12. Users can quickly complete the replacement, maintenance or position adjustment of the entire layer of hanging unit (including all hanging columns 121) by disassembling and assembling a single mounting rod 122, which greatly simplifies the operation process and ensures the relative positional accuracy of the hanging column 121 group on the mounting rods 122, avoiding the cumulative error that may occur when installing the hanging columns 121 one by one.

[0062] In some embodiments, a magnet is provided on one side of the hanging post 121. Specifically, the magnet can be a strong magnet such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, an alnico magnet, or a samarium cobalt magnet. A groove is provided on the side of the hanging post 121 opposite to the mounting rod 122, and the magnet is disposed in the groove for attaching a magnetic label. The magnetic label is used to identify the type and specifications of the sports equipment that the hanging post 121 is compatible with.

[0063] Thus, by setting magnets on the hanging post 121 and using them to attract tags, the magnetic tags can be firmly attached to the surface of the corresponding hanging post 121, clearly identifying the type, specifications, or storage rules of the sports equipment suitable for that hanging post 121 or area. This allows users to quickly identify and return the equipment, significantly reducing the probability of misplacement or mixing, and improving management efficiency. At the same time, the tags can be replaced or repositioned at any time without damage, flexibly adapting to equipment configuration updates or changes in management needs. In addition, this design cleverly reuses the magnetic function of fixing equipment, eliminating the need for additional tag structures, maintaining the simple appearance of the hanging post 121, and avoiding the problems of adhesive tags easily falling off, leaving marks, or hanging tags easily getting tangled.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surface of the hanging post 121 is covered with leather.

[0065] Thus, by covering the surface of the hanging post 121 with a leather layer, the soft, high-friction surface provided by the leather increases the contact friction with metal surfaces such as dumbbell bars, effectively preventing the equipment from sliding or rotating on the hanging post 121 and enhancing storage stability. On the other hand, its excellent cushioning and shock absorption characteristics can significantly absorb the impact energy when the equipment is suspended or retrieved, significantly reducing operating noise and effectively reducing wear and scratches caused by hard contact between the metal equipment surface and the hanging post 121, extending the service life of both. Furthermore, the warm touch of the leather improves the comfort of holding the equipment, avoids the cold touch of metal, and optimizes the human-computer interaction experience.

[0066] In some embodiments, the height of the storage rack 10 ranges from 1.3 to 1.5 meters; and / or the width of the storage rack 10 ranges from 0.6 to 1.2 meters; and / or the depth of the storage rack 10 ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 meters. The height of the storage rack 10 can be 1.3 meters, 1.35 meters, 1.4 meters, 1.42 meters, 1.45 meters, 1.5 meters, etc. The width of the storage rack 10 ranges from 0.6 meters, 0.65 meters, 0.7 meters, 0.8 meters, 1 meter, or 1.2 meters, etc., and the depth of the storage rack 10 can be 0.35 meters, 0.37 meters, 0.40 meters, 0.42 meters, or 0.45 meters, etc.

[0067] For example, see [link to example]. Figure 1-3 The storage rack 10 can be 1.4 meters high, 0.6 meters wide, and 0.4 meters deep.

[0068] For example, see some examples. Figure 4-6 The storage rack 10 can be 1.4 meters high, 1.2 meters wide, and 0.4 meters deep.

[0069] Thus, by limiting the overall dimensions of the storage rack 10 to a height range of 1.3-1.5 meters, a width range of 0.6-1.2 meters, and / or a depth range of 0.3-0.5 meters, the 1.3-1.5-meter height range ensures an ergonomically friendly operating height and low center of gravity stability; the 0.6-1.2-meter width range provides flexible layout capabilities from compact (single-row dumbbell / kettlebell) to extended (double-row mixed storage or multi-type equipment combination), efficiently adapting to different space scales and equipment quantity requirements; the 0.3-0.5-meter depth range ensures stable storage of common dumbbells and kettlebells while minimizing encroachment on floor space, facilitating wall placement or integration into equipment arrays, achieving high-density, orderly space management.
