Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal shelf technology, and more specifically, to a shelf for displaying automotive parts. Background Technology
[0002] Shops selling auto parts use shelves to display and store lighter or smaller auto parts (such as dashboard panels, electronic components, interior and exterior accessories, headlights, wiper motors, etc.). To store a variety of products, merchants typically purchase shelves that are about 1.9 meters high and have multiple shelves. Existing shelves consist of four uprights, multiple beams, and shelves. The height of the shelves mainly depends on the length of the uprights. The four uprights are installed in pairs on the left and right sides of the shelves, and multiple reinforcing bars are needed to connect and secure the pairs of uprights. However, excessively long uprights make transportation and delivery inconvenient; the uprights and reinforcing bars are also independent, making unified storage and organization impossible, further increasing the difficulty of transportation and delivery. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a shelf for displaying automotive parts, comprising upright assemblies and shelves. Two sets of upright assemblies are spaced apart, and the shelves are installed between the two sets of upright assemblies. Each upright assembly includes an upright body and reinforcing rods. Two upright bodies are symmetrically arranged. One end of each reinforcing rod is hinged to one of the upright bodies, and the other end is detachably connected to the other upright body. Multiple reinforcing rods are spaced apart. Each upright body includes an upper upright and a lower upright, which are hinged together for folding and storage. When fully unfolded, the hinged ends of the upper and lower uprights abut against each other. Both the upper and lower uprights have storage grooves, allowing the reinforcing rods to rotate and retract into these grooves during transport.
[0004] Optionally, the column assembly further includes a reinforcing rod, one end of which is connected to the upper column of one of the column bodies, and the other end of which is connected to the lower column of the other column body.
[0005] Optionally, two reinforcing rods are provided, and the two reinforcing rods are X-shaped.
[0006] Optionally, both ends of the reinforcing rod are provided with abutting slopes that abut against the bottom of the corresponding storage groove.
[0007] Optionally, the multiple reinforcing rods and the corresponding two column bodies form multiple sets of triangular shapes.
[0008] Optionally, an angle iron is fixed to the bottom of the shelf, and a plurality of hook holes are spaced apart on the angle iron. A partition suitable for dividing the shelf into two spaces is hung in the hook holes.
[0009] Optionally, a hinge is installed on the outer wall of the column body on the side away from each other, and the upper column and the lower column are hinged together by the hinge.
[0010] Optionally, an upper bending plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the upper column near the lower column, and a lower bending plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the lower column near the upper column. When the upper column and the lower column are in the fully extended state, the lower bending plate abuts against the upper bending plate. The upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are provided with U-shaped buckles. The upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are located inside the U-shaped buckles and are tightly abutted against the U-shaped buckles.
[0011] Optionally, both ends of the reinforcing rod are hinged or detachably connected to the corresponding column body through the cooperation of pins and snap rings.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. During transportation or delivery, the upper and lower uprights of the shelving can be folded to reduce the length, and the reinforcing rods can be stored and hidden in the storage groove to form a module, making the overall volume smaller and reducing the difficulty of transportation and delivery.
[0014] 2. Since one end of the reinforcing rod is hinged to the corresponding column body, during assembly, it is only necessary to turn the other end of the reinforcing rod out and connect it to another column body, which reduces the assembly steps and improves the efficiency of assembly.
[0015] 3. After the upper and lower columns are fully extended, the hinged ends abut together, preventing the upper column from continuing to rotate in the direction of extension. Then, the upper and lower bending plates are locked by U-shaped locks, which locks the upper column from rotating in the folding direction. This improves the stability and firmness of the upper and lower columns after they are extended, and makes it easier to install the reinforcing rods and reinforcement rods.
[0016] 4. The two X-shaped reinforcing rods can restrain the two upper and lower columns, greatly reducing the risk of the upper columns rotating along the folding direction, ensuring the stability and firmness of the folding structure after assembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] The accompanying drawings of this utility model embodiment provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the right, the negative direction of the X-axis represents the left, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front, the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top, and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.
[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a shelf for displaying automotive parts, see reference. Figure 1The shelving unit for displaying automotive parts includes upright assemblies 1 and shelves 2. Two sets of upright assemblies 1 are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction, and multiple shelves 2 are spaced apart vertically, with each shelf 2 installed between the two sets of upright assemblies 1. The two sets of upright assemblies 1 have identical structures, each including an upright body 11 and reinforcing rods 12. Two upright bodies are symmetrically spaced apart along the left-to-right direction, and multiple reinforcing rods 12 are spaced apart. One end of each reinforcing rod 12 is hinged to one of the upright bodies 11, and the other end is detachably connected to the other upright body 11 for easy assembly. Each upright body 11 can be folded into two sections for storage, and multiple reinforcing rods 12 can be stored on the corresponding upright body 11 to form a module, reducing the length and space occupied by the upright body 11 during transportation and delivery, thus facilitating transportation and delivery.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upright body 11 has multiple mounting holes spaced vertically. A crossbeam 3 is positioned between two upright bodies 11 arranged in the front-to-back direction. Sheet metal hooks are welded to and fixed on the crossbeam 3, and these hooks can be inserted into the corresponding mounting holes to connect the crossbeam 3 to the upright body 11 (this is a common connection method for existing shelving systems; the detailed assembly process will not be elaborated upon here). Two crossbeams 3 are symmetrically arranged in the left-right direction. A placement groove is provided on the side of the two crossbeams 3 closest to each other, penetrating the top of the corresponding crossbeam 3. Shelves 2 are placed in the placement grooves of the two crossbeams 3 on both sides. If two crossbeams 3 form a set of support beams, then the number of support beams is the same as the number of shelves 2 and corresponds one-to-one.
[0029] For ease of explanation, let's assume that the two column bodies 11 in the same column assembly 1 are the first column and the second column, respectively. The first column and the second column have the same structure. The following explanation will take the structure of the first column and its cooperation with the reinforcing rod 12 as an example.
[0030] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The first column includes an upper column 13 and a lower column 14, which are hinged together for folding and storage. When the upper column 13 and lower column 14 are fully unfolded, their hinged ends (the ends of the upper column 13 and lower column 14 that are close to each other) abut against each other, preventing the upper column 13 from continuing to rotate relative to the lower column 14 in the unfolding direction. A hinge 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first column away from the second column by bolts and nuts. The upper column 13 and lower column 14 are hinged together by the hinge 15, resulting in a simple structure and low processing cost. In addition, the lengths of the upper column 13 and lower column 14 can be selected according to customer needs for assembly, providing high production flexibility.
[0031] The upper column 13 has two outwardly bent outer walls on both sides near the lower column 14, with upper bending plates 131; the lower column 14 has two outwardly bent outer walls on both sides near the upper column 13, with lower bending plates 141. When the upper column 13 and lower column 14 are fully extended, the corresponding lower bending plates 141 and upper bending plates 131 abut against each other, increasing the contact area between the upper column 13 and lower column 14. U-shaped latches 16 are inserted and connected to the upper bending plates 131 and lower bending plates 141 on the same side. The U-shaped latches 16 are U-shaped plates, with the upper bending plates 131 and lower bending plates 141 located inside and tightly abutting against the U-shaped latches 16, locking the upper column 13 as it rotates in the folding direction. This improves the stability and firmness of the upper column 13 and lower column 14 after extension and facilitates the installation of the reinforcing rod 12.
[0032] During installation, tools are needed to tap the U-shaped latch 16 to insert the upper bending plate 131 and the lower bending plate 141 into the U-shaped latch 16. During disassembly, tools are also needed to tap the U-shaped latch 16. This ensures that the U-shaped latch 16 is firmly attached to the upper bending plate 131 and the lower bending plate 141 after installation, and is not easy to fall off.
[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 5 Both the upper column 13 and the lower column 14 have a storage groove 111 on the side near the second column. During transportation, the corresponding reinforcing rod 12 can be rotated and stored in the corresponding storage groove 111 to form a module. During assembly, it is only necessary to rotate the other end of the reinforcing rod 12 out and connect it to the other column body 11, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency. The upper column 13 and the lower column 14 are provided with multiple connecting holes at intervals along the vertical direction. The connecting holes communicate with the storage groove 111 and pass through the upper column 13 or the lower column 14. A pin is inserted into the connecting hole. The pin has an annular groove, and a retaining spring is installed in the annular groove. The two ends of the reinforcing rod 12 are hinged or detachably connected to the corresponding column body 11 through the cooperation of the pin and the retaining spring, which improves the convenience of assembly.
[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 6 Among them, multiple reinforcing rods 12 and the corresponding two column bodies 11 form multiple sets of right-angled triangles distributed between the two upper columns 13 and the two lower columns 14. The shape of the right-angled triangles is relatively stable, making the connection between the two column bodies 11 more solid.
[0035] The column assembly 1 also includes reinforcing rods 17. Two reinforcing rods 17 are arranged in an X-shape, stacked on top of each other. The reinforcing rods 17 can also be rotated and stored in the storage groove 111. One end of one reinforcing rod 17 is connected to the upper column 13 of the first column via a pin and a retaining spring; the other end is connected to the lower column 14 of the second column via a pin and a retaining spring. The other reinforcing rod 17 has one end connected to the upper column 13 of the second column via a pin and a retaining spring; the other end is connected to the lower column 14 of the first column via a pin and a retaining spring. The two X-shaped reinforcing rods 17 create a mutual restraining effect on the two upper columns 13 and the lower column 14, greatly reducing the risk of the upper column 13 rotating along the folding direction, ensuring both the stability and firmness of the folding structure after assembly.
[0036] Reference Figures 3 to 6 Each reinforcing rod 17 has abutting slope 171 at both ends. The abutting slope 171 abuts against the bottom of the groove 111 in the corresponding column body 11, which increases the contact area with the corresponding column body 11 and improves the firmness of the connection and reinforcement of the two column bodies 11.
[0037] Both the reinforcing rod 17 and the strengthening rod 12 have additional through-hole fixing holes 121. When the reinforcing rod 17 and the strengthening rod 12 are stored in the storage groove 111, the fixing holes 121, except for the holes that are hinged to the corresponding column body 11, will be adapted to the corresponding pins at other positions, allowing the corresponding pins to pass through. This reduces the risk of the reinforcing rod 17 and the strengthening rod 12 shaking and making abnormal noises in the storage groove 111 during transportation or delivery. It is worth noting that the width of the storage groove 111 is sufficient to accommodate two reinforcing rods 12 or strengthening rods 17 stacked together, thus providing enough space to accommodate multiple strengthening rods 12 and strengthening rods 17.
[0038] Reference Figure 7 Each shelf 2 has an angle iron 21 (equilateral angle steel) welded to its bottom. The length of the angle iron 21 is in the front-to-back direction, and the angle iron 21 is located in the middle of the left-to-right direction of the shelf 2. The angle iron 21 has multiple hook holes spaced apart, and a partition (not shown in the figure) is hung in the hook holes. This divides a shelf 2 into two spaces, which helps to classify and place different types of automotive parts.
[0039] The implementation principle of a shelf for displaying automotive parts according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During transportation or delivery, the upper uprights 13 and lower uprights 14 can be folded to reduce their length, and the reinforcing rod 12 can be stored and hidden in the storage groove 111 to form a module, thus reducing the overall volume. Since one end of the reinforcing rod 12 is hinged to the corresponding upright body 11, during assembly, only the other end of the reinforcing rod 12 needs to be turned out and connected to the other upright body 11, reducing assembly steps. The two X-shaped reinforcing rods 17 can create a mutual restraining effect on the two upper uprights 13 and lower uprights 14, greatly reducing the risk of the upper uprights 13 rotating along the folding direction, ensuring the stability and firmness of the assembled structure.
