Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable shelf assembly for a container or refrigerated cabinet. [Background Technology]

[0002] Goods are typically displayed or sold using shelves. For ease of placement and display, shelves are divided into multiple tracks, each accommodating a row of materials. Different materials of varying sizes can be placed between each row, requiring different track widths. If the track width is not adjustable, the shelf's versatility will be affected. Currently, there are many adjustable structures on the market, such as the one described in patent number 202321707485.9, entitled "A Self-Weighting Track End Cap, Dividing Structure, and Shelf." This design uses multiple dividers connected between two fixed strips via a stepless adjustment structure. This method allows for convenient stepless adjustment, but its connection is not very secure and is prone to loosening. [Utility Model Content]

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, a snap-on adjustable spacing shelf assembly includes multiple parallel guide plates 1 and multiple partition plates 2 that divide the space on the guide plates 1 horizontally. The guide plates 1 extend in the front-back direction. After the materials are arranged in rows, the material at the front is the front, and there is a slide between adjacent partition plates. The guide plates 1 are provided with guide parts 3 for guiding the materials to slide. The guide parts 3 are multiple rotating rollers arranged in the front-back direction of the guide plates 1 and rotatably mounted on the guide plates 1. The axis of the rotating rollers is along the left-right direction. Connecting strips 4 are provided at the front and rear ends of the multiple guide plates 1. There are two connecting strips 4 at the front and rear ends of the guide plates 1, and the two connecting strips 4 connect the ends of the multiple guide plates 1 in series. The partition plates 2 are provided with sliders 5 at both ends, which are corresponding to the connecting strips 4 and can be slidably mounted on the connecting strips 4 along the length of the connecting strips 4. The sliders 5 at both ends of the partition plates 2 correspond to the two connecting strips 4 one-to-one. That is, the slider 5 at one end of the partition plate 2 is on one connecting strip 4, and the slider 5 at the other end of the partition plate 2 is on the other connecting strip 4. The sliders 5 slide along the length of the connecting strips 4. The slider 5 has a clamping groove 55 between the clamping end 51 and the elastic end 52, which can clamp the end of the separator 2. The clamping groove 55 is composed of two elastic pieces, which facilitates installation. The slider 5 has a clamping end 51 that can press against the guide plate 1 to lock the slider 5, an elastic end 52 that can elastically squeeze with the connecting bar 4 to make the slider 5 press against the guide plate 1, and a deflecting end 53 that can push the slider 5 against the elastic end 52 to separate the clamping end 51 from the guide plate 1. After the slider 5 is installed on the connecting bar 4, the elastic end 52 elastically squeezes with the connecting bar 4, making the clamping end 51 of the slider 5 press against the end of the guide plate 1, thereby achieving self-locking. After deflecting the deflecting end 53, the clamping end 51 is separated or disengaged from the end of the guide plate 1, thereby unlocking. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0025] For ease of installation, the connecting strip 4 is provided with a guide groove 41 extending along the length of the connecting strip 4. The elastic end 52 is snapped into the guide groove 41 and elastically pressed against the side wall of the guide groove 41. The upper end of the guide groove 41 is open, and the edge of the opening of the guide groove 41 is provided with a buckle groove 42 with the opening facing downward for the upper end of the elastic end 52 to be inserted. The buckle groove 42 is inside the opening of the guide groove 41. After the slider 5 is inserted into the guide groove 41, the elastic end 52 is pressed against the side wall of the guide groove 41, so that the pressing end 51 presses against the end of the guide plate 1.

[0026] The pressing end 51 is located on the lower part of the slider 5 near the guide plate 1 and extends to the middle of the guide plate 1. The elastic end 52 is located on the lower part of the slider 5 away from the guide plate 1 and away from the guide plate 1. The elastic end 52 is located at the upper end of the slider 5. The pressing end 51 is horizontally plate-shaped, and the elastic end 52 is a hook-shaped block. The actuating end 53 is an arc-shaped protrusion that can be actuated and tilted towards the elastic end 52. The arc surface of the arc-shaped protrusion is located on the side near the guide plate 1. The thickness of the arc-shaped protrusion gradually decreases from bottom to top. The hook-shaped block is an elastic hook. The hook of the hook-shaped block extends from bottom to top, and the opening of the hook is at the top. The actuating end 53 is an arc-shaped protrusion at the top of the slider 5.

[0027] To ensure a firm clamping, an anti-slip device is provided between the clamping end 51 and the end of the guide plate 1. The anti-slip device includes multiple anti-slip protrusions 54 on the clamping end 51 and multiple strip-shaped grooves 11 on the guide plate 1 into which the anti-slip protrusions 54 are inserted. The multiple strip-shaped grooves 11 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the guide plate 1 and extend along the length direction of the guide plate 1. The strip-shaped grooves 11 can be used as scales for easy adjustment and alignment.

[0028] To facilitate insertion, the front and rear ends of the guide plate 1 are respectively provided with insertion ends 12 integrally formed with the guide plate 1. A strip-shaped groove 11 is provided on the upper end surface of the insertion end 12. The connecting strip 4 is provided with insertion slots 43 for the insertion ends 12 to be inserted. The two ends of the guide plate 1 are respectively inserted into the insertion slots 43 of the two connecting strips 4, and the pressing end 51 is pressed against the insertion end 12. The edge of the insertion slot 43 is provided with a hook 44 that engages with the insertion end 12. The insertion slot 43 is provided with a horizontally arranged positioning edge 45. The insertion end 12 is provided with a positioning slot 13 for the positioning edge 45 to be inserted. In this way, the connecting strip 4 and the guide plate 1 are firmly inserted and are not easy to loosen.

[0029] Example 2, as Figure 6-7 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that there is no positioning insert edge 45 in the insertion slot 43 and no positioning slot 13 on the insertion end 12.

[0030] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred technical solutions, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
