Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to a folding medicine rack. Background Technology

[0002] Medicine shelves are core equipment for storing medicines in medical facilities, and traditional designs face three major technical bottlenecks: 1. Low space utilization: The fixed structure occupies a lot of space during transportation and when not in use, which is especially inconvenient for mobile medical units, emergency pharmacies and other scenarios. 2. Folding function defects: Existing foldable solutions can only fold in the horizontal direction, while maintaining the unfolded height in the vertical direction. They cannot achieve three-dimensional compression, and auxiliary parts need to be disassembled during the folding process. 3. Conflict between stability and convenience: Folding mechanisms often sacrifice support strength (such as using soft connecting straps) or require complex operation for locking (such as multiple bolts for fixing), making it difficult to balance the needs of rapid unfolding and load-bearing.

[0003] Furthermore, the modular expansion capability is insufficient; when it is necessary to adjust the height of the medicine shelves or increase or decrease the capacity, the entire frame must be replaced. These issues limit the applicability of the medicine shelves in dynamic medical environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foldable medicine rack that is convenient to fold and store, and provides stable support during use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding medicine rack, comprising multiple support frames that can be sequentially stacked in a vertical direction. Each support frame includes two oppositely arranged side frames and a support plate disposed between the two side frames. Multiple support plates are provided, spaced apart from bottom to top. Each support plate includes multiple relatively hinged flat plates, with both ends of each support plate hinged to the corresponding side frame. The first connecting fastener is provided between every two adjacent upper and lower plates, and is used to lock and fix the two plates when the plates are in a horizontal state, and to guide the plates during the up-and-down flipping process.

[0006] Furthermore, the first connecting fastener includes a guide rod, a sliding sleeve, a first connecting rod, and a first locking member. The guide rod is arranged parallel to the support frame, and its upper and lower ends are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower adjacent plates. The sliding sleeve is slidably sleeved on the guide rod. The top end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the sliding sleeve, and the lower end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the lateral plate directly below. The first locking member is used to fix the position of the sliding sleeve and the guide rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the first locking element includes a snap-on buckle and a hook. A flip-up snap-on buckle is provided on the middle part of the sliding sleeve, and a hook is provided at the top of the guide rod. The buckle can be engaged with the hook.

[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting fastener also includes a second connecting rod, the top end of which is hinged to the sliding sleeve, and the other end is hinged to the plate directly below.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a second connecting fastener, which is used to connect and fix the upper and lower side frames.

[0010] Furthermore, the second connecting fastener includes a first connecting hinge, wherein the top of one of the side frames in each lower layer of the support frame is hinged to the bottom of the corresponding side frame in the upper layer of the support frame via the first connecting hinge, and the first connecting hinges of adjacent upper and lower support frames are located on different sides.

[0011] Furthermore, the second connecting fastener also includes a pin, with one pin provided on one side frame of each lower support frame, and the pin being disposed opposite to the first connecting hinge. The upper side frame corresponding to the pin has an insertion hole, and the pin can be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes partitions, and multiple limiting members are symmetrically arranged on the inner sides of the opposite side frames along their height direction. There are multiple partitions, and the partitions can be placed on the limiting members through their ends.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a baffle that is detachably disposed on the side wall of the partition or the unfolded support plate.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a top plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to one of the top side frames, and the other end of which is snapped into another top side frame.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: When using the above-mentioned folding medicine rack, the flat plate of a single support frame is opened to make the flat plate horizontal, thereby making the entire support plate horizontal. Then, the two adjacent flat plates are fixed by the first connecting fastener. Then, the support frames are stacked sequentially from bottom to top to place medicines and other items.

[0016] When storage is needed, first remove the items, then remove the support frames one by one from top to bottom. Next, unlock the first connecting fastener, fold the support frames together, and finally, put all the folded support frames together.

[0017] The aforementioned folding medicine rack can be folded up in both horizontal and vertical directions, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the medicine rack and facilitate transportation or storage. The stability of the medicine rack in the unfolded state is improved by locking and fixing the first connecting fastener. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a foldable medicine rack, including multiple support frames 100 and multiple first connecting fasteners 200.

[0022] Specifically, multiple support frames 100 can be stacked sequentially in the vertical direction. Each support frame 100 includes two oppositely arranged side frames 110 and a support plate 120 disposed between the two side frames 110. There are multiple support plates 120, which are spaced apart from bottom to top. In specific implementations, the number of support plates 120 can be set as needed. Each support plate 120 includes multiple oppositely hinged flat plates 121, and both ends of the support plate 120 are respectively hinged to the corresponding side frame 110.

[0023] A first connecting fastener 200 is provided between each pair of adjacent plates 121, which is used to lock and fix the two plates 121 when they are in a horizontal state, and to guide the plates 121 during the up-and-down flipping process.

[0024] In use, after opening the flat plate 121 of a single support frame 100, the flat plate 121 is placed in a horizontal position, thereby making the entire support plate 120 horizontal. Then, the two adjacent flat plates 121 are fixed by the first connecting fastener 200. Next, the support frames 100 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top to place medicines and other items.

[0025] When storage is needed, first remove the items, then remove the support frame 100 from top to bottom in sequence. Next, unlock the first connecting fastener 200, fold the support frame 100 together, and finally, put all the folded support frames 100 together.

[0026] The aforementioned folding medicine rack can be folded up in both horizontal and vertical directions, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the medicine rack and facilitate transportation or storage. The locking and fixing by the first connecting fastener 200 improves the stability of the medicine rack in the unfolded state.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first connecting fastener 200 includes a guide rod 210, a sliding sleeve 220, a first connecting rod 230, and a first locking member 240. The guide rod 210 is arranged parallel to the support frame 100. The upper and lower ends of the guide rod 210 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower adjacent flat plates 121. The sliding sleeve 220 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 210. The top end of the first connecting rod 230 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 220, and the lower end of the first connecting rod 230 is hinged to the side flat plate 121 directly below. The first locking member 240 is used to fix the position of the sliding sleeve 220 and the guide rod 210.

[0028] Specifically, the first locking element 240 includes a snap-on buckle 241 and a hook 242. A flip-up snap-on buckle 241 is provided in the middle of the sliding sleeve 220, and a hook 242 is provided at the top of the guide rod 210. The snap-on buckle can engage with the hook 242. When the plate 121 is in a horizontal state, the snap-on buckle 241 and the hook 242 can be fastened together.

[0029] In specific implementation, the first locking member 240 can be a locking screw 260, which can fix the positions of the upper and lower plates 121 through the first connecting fastener 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting fastener 200 can also be in other ways, such as fixing the locking screw 260 to the sliding sleeve 220 and threading it with the sliding sleeve 220, and rotating the locking screw 260 to make it press against the guide rod 210.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the first connecting fastener 200 further includes a second connecting rod 250, the top end of which is hinged to the sliding sleeve 220, and the other end is hinged to the flat plate 121 directly below it. This further improves the stability of the entire folding medicine rack.

[0031] Specifically, the second connecting fastener 300 includes a first connecting hinge 310. The top of one side frame 110 in each lower support frame 100 is hinged to the bottom of the corresponding side frame 110 in the upper support frame 100 via the first connecting hinge 310, and the first connecting hinges 310 of adjacent upper and lower support frames 100 are located on different sides. By connecting the first connecting hinges 310, the dispersed support frames 100 can be connected into a whole, improving the overall integrity of the folding medicine rack.

[0032] In a more preferred embodiment, the second connecting fastener 300 further includes a pin 320. A pin 320 is provided on one side frame 110 of each lower support frame 100, and the pin 320 is disposed opposite to the first connecting hinge 310. An insertion hole is provided on the upper side frame 110 corresponding to the pin 320, and the pin 320 can be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0033] When the support frames 100 are stacked sequentially, inserting the pins 320 into the sockets can further improve the stability of the entire folding medicine rack.

[0034] As another preferred embodiment, this foldable medicine rack also includes a baffle 500, which is detachably mounted on the side wall of the partition 400 or the unfolded support plate 120. The connection method can be magnetic adsorption, snap-fit, or threaded connection.

[0035] As another preferred embodiment, the folding medicine rack also includes a partition 400, and multiple limiting members 410 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the side frame 110 along its height direction. There are multiple partitions 400, and the partitions 400 can be placed on the limiting members 410 through their ends.

[0036] In addition, it may include a top plate 600, one end of which is rotatably connected to a side frame 110 at the top, and the other end of which is snapped into another side frame 110 at the top.

[0037] When the side frame 110 is flipped over and is about to be closed, the top plate 600 needs to be rotated and folded first. The top plate 600 avoids the difficulty of placing the high partition 400.

[0038] Additionally, 700 casters can be installed at the bottom for further ease of transport.

[0039] The aforementioned folding medicine rack can be folded up in both horizontal and vertical directions, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the medicine rack and facilitate transportation or storage. The locking and fixing by the first connecting fastener 200 improves the stability of the medicine rack in the unfolded state.
