Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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 only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Example 1

[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the shelf with easily adjustable dividers according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes a shelf main board 1 and several dividers 2. Wherein, The front and rear ends of the shelf main board 1 are respectively provided with a row of horizontally distributed first mounting holes 11 and a row of horizontally distributed second mounting holes 12. Specifically, the shelf main board 1 includes several parallel sliding tracks 15, which can be roller tracks (or guide slides), each with end caps 16 at both ends. The front and rear ends of the shelf main board 1 are also provided with mounting strips 17, and the end caps 16 of the sliding tracks 15 are respectively mounted on the mounting strips 17 at the front and rear ends. The front and rear end caps 16 of the sliding tracks 15 are respectively provided with several first mounting holes 11 and second mounting holes 12, so that the front and rear ends of the shelf main board 1 respectively form a row of horizontally distributed first mounting holes 11 and a row of horizontally distributed second mounting holes 12. Figure 1 The diagram shows only 3 slide rails 15 are assembled; not all slide rails 15 are fully assembled.

[0018] The separator 2 can be a separator strip (or a separator plate). Each separator 2 has a first mounting foot 21 and a second mounting foot 22 at its front and rear ends, respectively. Several separators 2 are spaced apart on the shelf main board 1, and the first mounting foot 21 and the second mounting foot 22 of each separator 2 are assembled in a corresponding first mounting hole 11 and second mounting hole 12. The specific structure can be as follows: the second mounting hole 12 is a recessed insertion hole, including an upward-opening insertion section 13 and a rearward-extending locking section 14, wherein the insertion section 13 and the locking section 14 are connected; the second mounting foot 22 includes a downward-extending first insertion part 23 and a rearward-extending second insertion part 24, wherein the second insertion part 24 is connected to the rear end of the first insertion part 23, and the first insertion part 23 and the second insertion part 24 are preferably designed to be flat and integrated with the separator 2, thereby improving the ease of installation; when the separator 2 is installed on the shelf main board 1, the first insertion part 23 and the second insertion part 24 are inserted into the insertion section 13 together, and then pushed backward until the second insertion part 24 is inserted into the locking section 14; the first mounting foot 21 is inserted downward into the first mounting hole 11 (of course, the first mounting foot 21 can also be pushed backward synchronously with the second mounting foot 22 and inserted into the first mounting hole 11, and its specific structure can be the same as the assembly structure of the second mounting foot 22 and the second mounting hole 12).

[0019] When the shelf described in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is installed on a merchandise display device such as a freezer, if the divider 2 of the shelf main board 1 is to be adjusted, the installation can be completed simply by holding the front end of the divider 2. That is, first push the second mounting foot 22 of the divider 2 backward and insert it into the corresponding second mounting hole 12, and then insert the first mounting foot 21 downward and insert it into the corresponding first mounting hole 11. The divider can be disassembled by doing the reverse operation. There is no need to reach into the rear end of the shelf 1 to operate the divider 2. The operation is simple and convenient. Moreover, the structure of the second mounting foot 22 and the second mounting hole 12 with the push-in insertion type gives the divider 2 a certain anti-loosening effect in the vertical direction, which plays a role in preventing the divider 2 from being lost.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the rear end of the second insertion part 24 of the shelf described in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is provided with a guide head 25. The guide head 25 is a cone with a circumferential guide surface, which facilitates the insertion of the second insertion part 24 into the locking section 14.

[0021] Furthermore, the first insertion part 23 and the second insertion part 24 are connected as one unit in an L-shape, and a guide edge 26 is provided at the lower end. The peripheral surface of the guide edge 26 has a guide surface, which facilitates the insertion of the second mounting foot 22 (i.e. the first insertion part 23 and the second insertion part 24) into the insertion segment 13.

[0022] Examples 2 and 3

[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shelf units described in Embodiments 2 and 3 of this utility model are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1, including a shelf main board 1 and several partitions 2. The shelf main board 1 has a row of horizontally distributed first mounting holes 11 and a row of horizontally distributed second mounting holes 12 at its front and rear ends, respectively. Each partition 2 has a first mounting foot 21 and a second mounting foot 22 at its front and rear ends, respectively. Several partitions 2 are spaced apart on the shelf main board 1, and the second mounting foot 22 of each partition 2 is pushed backward into a corresponding second mounting hole 12, while the first mounting foot 21 is inserted downward into a corresponding first mounting hole 11. The difference lies only in that the insertion segments 13 of two or more adjacent second mounting holes 12 are interconnected, forming a larger mounting opening, which facilitates the quick insertion of the second mounting foot 22 into the required insertion segment 13 of the second mounting hole 12 and into the locking segment 14, making the operation more convenient and faster.

[0024] Of course, the second mounting hole 12 of the shelf described in this utility model can also be a plug hole with the insertion port facing forward. Specifically, the upper surface of the end 16 at the rear end of the slide rail 15 is provided with a protruding plug-in part, and the front end of the plug-in part is provided with a plug hole with the insertion port facing forward. Correspondingly, the second mounting foot 22 is a plug foot that extends backward. If the partition 2 of the shelf main board 1 is to be adjusted, simply hold the front end of the partition 2 and push the second mounting foot 22 directly backward into the corresponding second mounting hole 12, and then insert the first mounting foot 21 downward into the corresponding first mounting hole 11 to complete the installation. The operation is convenient and quick.

[0025] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
