[0029] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0030] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a modular metal shelf includes a shelf panel 1 and four legs 2. The legs 2 are respectively located at the four corners of the shelf panel 1. The top of each leg 2 has a through groove 3, and an adjusting rod 4 is inserted into the through groove 3. The top of the adjusting rod 4 has a fixing block 5, and the center of the fixing block 5 has a connecting rod 6. The bottom surface of each leg 2 has a support block 7, and the support block 7 has a connecting groove 8 adapted to the connecting rod 6. The connecting groove 8 has a plug 9 for fixing the connecting rod 6. The connecting rod 6 has a plug hole 25. The support block 7 has a U-shaped groove 14, and a bidirectional screw 15 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped groove 14. The bidirectional screw 15 is threaded with symmetrically arranged sliding plates 16. The plug 9 is fixed on the sliding plate 16, and one end of the plug 9 extends through the support block 7 into the connecting groove 8. The bidirectional screw 15 extends to the outside of the support block 7 and is connected to a knob 17.
[0033] When assembling the storage rack, refer to the instruction manual. Figure 8 As shown, the connecting rod 6 is aligned with the bottom connecting groove 8 of the support block 7 and inserted one by one. Then, the knob 17 is turned clockwise to drive the bidirectional screw 15 to rotate, so that the insert rods 9 on both sides move towards the connecting groove 8 until the insert rod 9 is inserted into the insertion hole 25 of the connecting rod 6. At this time, the fixed connection between the two support legs 2 is completed, and the assembly of the shelf is realized. Moreover, any number of shelf boards 1 can be selected for assembly according to the usage requirements, making it more flexible to use.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] To adapt to different usage needs, based on Example 1, and in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting rod 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 10 in an array, and the outer wall of the support leg 2 is provided with fixing members 11 symmetrically connected. Two fixing members 11 are connected by a spring 12. The fixing member 11 is provided with a positioning rod 13 adapted to the positioning hole 10. One end of the positioning rod 13 extends into the through groove 3. The fixing member 11 has an L-shaped structure. A housing 18 is connected to one side wall of the support leg 2. Two fixing members 11 are symmetrically inserted into the housing 18. The housing 18 is provided with symmetrical sliding holes 19. A push plate 20 is connected to the fixing member 11. The push plate 20 slides in the sliding hole 19 and one end extends to the outside of the sliding hole 19.
[0036] Among them, the combination of appendix Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the adjusting rod 4 is connected to a limiting plate 21. The limiting plate 21 is slidably disposed in the through groove 3 and the size of the limiting plate 21 is adapted to the through groove 3. The top opening size of the adjusting rod 4 is smaller than the size of the through groove 3. The setting of the limiting plate 21 can prevent the adjusting rod 4 from detaching from the support leg 2.
[0037] When adjusting the distance between each shelf 1, simply push the push plate 20 towards the sliding holes 19 on both sides to disengage the positioning rod 13 from the positioning hole 10. Then, slide the adjusting rod 4 to the desired height. Under the action of the spring 12, the fixing member 11 will re-insert the positioning rod 13 into the corresponding positioning hole 10, fixing the position of the adjusting rod 4 and ensuring stability during use.
[0038] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a snap-fit component 22 is connected to one side wall of the support leg 2. A pull rod 23 is snapped into the two diagonally arranged snap-fit components 22. A slot 24 is opened at the center of the pull rod 23. The two pull rods 23 are snapped together through the slot 24 and are snapped into the bottom of the shelf 1 in a cross shape, which can effectively distribute the load on the shelf 1 and increase the stability of the overall structure.
[0039] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
