Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a support column for furniture. In addition, this utility model also relates to a shelf using this kind of support column. Background Technology

[0002] To maximize space, some homes and shops often use shelving units with shelves or cabinets, secured by uprights to maximize storage. To address the issue of poor lighting making it difficult to see items, LED strips can be installed on the uprights or shelves. However, for existing shelving uprights, users need to install the LED strips beforehand and then assemble the shelving unit. If the LED strip malfunctions and needs replacement, or if the user wants to add LED strips later, the entire shelving unit needs to be disassembled and reassembled, which is costly. Furthermore, when items on the shelving require electrical connection, the lack of cable management on the uprights means the wires are either exposed or tied to the uprights with cable ties, affecting aesthetics and increasing the risk of users accidentally snagging the wires. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, this utility model provides a support column for furniture that allows for easy replacement or installation of LED strip modules without disassembling the column. Electrical wiring can also be concealed within the wire channel of the column, reducing costs while improving aesthetics.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention provides a furniture support column, which has a mounting groove extending along the length direction for installing a light strip module. At least one end of the mounting groove extends to the end face of the support column to form an open end, and at least one side of the mounting groove is open to form a slot. At least a portion of the light strip module enters the mounting groove from the open end or from the slot. A wire groove for wiring is provided on the support column, on the light strip module, or between the support column and the light strip module.

[0005] Preferably, a limiting structure is provided between the light strip module and the mounting groove to prevent the light strip module from detaching from the column at the groove opening.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a limiting edge at the slot opening and a limiting surface on the outer wall of the LED strip module, with the limiting edge abutting against the outer side of the limiting surface to limit the LED strip module; or, the limiting structure includes mutually cooperating limiting ribs and limiting grooves, with the limiting ribs located on one of the groove wall of the mounting groove and the outer wall of the LED strip module, and the limiting groove located on the other, the limiting ribs being engaged in the limiting grooves to limit the LED strip module; or, the width of the mounting groove gradually decreases from the side away from the slot opening toward the slot opening to make the mounting groove wider inside and narrower outside, the mounting groove with the wider inside and narrower outside cooperating at least partially with the LED strip module to limit the LED strip module.

[0007] Preferably, the light strip module includes a light strip and an outer frame. The outer frame has a groove for mounting the light strip. The light strip is located in the groove and has a light-emitting surface exposed outside the outer frame. The light strip module is completely located in the mounting groove and the light-emitting surface of the light strip is exposed outside the column.

[0008] Preferably, the outer frame is provided with a mounting portion forming a groove and an extension portion extending from at least one side of the mounting portion toward the groove wall of the mounting groove. The mounting portion occupies part of the space of the mounting groove, and the other part of the space of the mounting groove forms a groove that is at least partially covered by the extension portion.

[0009] Preferably, the light strip module includes a light strip and an outer frame. The outer frame has a groove for installing the light strip. The light strip is located in the groove and has a light-emitting surface exposed outside the outer frame. The outer frame has a snap-fit ​​part that mates with the mounting groove. The light strip module is exposed outside the mounting groove and the light-emitting surface is exposed outside the column.

[0010] Preferably, the wire trough is provided on the column, and the wire trough is separated from the mounting groove.

[0011] Preferably, the groove is provided on the outer frame, and the groove is separated from the recess.

[0012] This utility model also provides a storage rack, including a frame and a storage structure supported by the frame. The frame includes at least two parallel uprights, and the uprights are the structure described above.

[0013] Preferably, the storage structure includes at least one of shelves, cabinets, and drawers.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. The column provided by this utility model has a mounting groove for installing a light strip module. The mounting groove extends along the length of the column, with one end extending to the end face of the column to form an open end. At least one side of the mounting groove is open to form a slot. When the user needs to replace the light strip module or wants to add a light strip module later, the light strip module can be inserted into the mounting groove from the open end, or it can be embedded into the mounting groove from the slot side. That is, the user can easily replace or add the light strip module without replacing the column, reasonably reducing the user's replacement or addition cost and improving the user experience. In addition, a wire channel is provided on the column, the light strip, or between the column and the light strip for wiring. The wires of appliances placed on the shelf can be routed through the wire channel, that is, the wires can be hidden in the wire channel, so that the wires are not exposed. This is more aesthetically pleasing and also prevents the wires from being accidentally snagged.

[0015] 2. A limiting fit structure is set between the light strip module and the mounting slot. The limiting fit structure can be a structure in which the limiting edge fits with the limiting surface, a structure in which the limiting rib fits with the limiting slot, or a tapered fit structure that is wider inside and narrower outside. The limiting fit structure limits the light strip module, prevents the light strip module from coming out of the slot, and ensures the structural stability of the light strip module installed on the column.

[0016] 3. The light strip module includes a light strip and an outer frame. The outer frame has a groove, and the light strip is placed in the groove with a light-emitting surface exposed outside the outer frame. When the light strip module is fully installed in the mounting groove, the light-emitting surface is exposed outside the column, allowing the light from the light strip module to be fully emitted outward through the light-emitting surface, ensuring lighting intensity.

[0017] 4. When the LED strip module is fully installed within the mounting slot, the outer frame of the module can have a mounting section and an extension section. The groove for mounting the LED strip is formed by the mounting section. The LED strip module, built into the mounting slot, causes the mounting section to occupy part of the mounting slot's space, while the remaining space forms a wire trough covered by the extension section. The extension section not only covers the wiring wires within the wire trough but also confines them within the trough, improving both aesthetics and the stability of the wiring wires.

[0018] 5. The light strip module can also be exposed in the mounting slot. In this case, the outer frame of the light strip module is provided with a snap-fit ​​part that cooperates with the mounting slot. The light strip module is installed on the column by the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part and the mounting slot. Since the light strip module is external, the light-emitting surface of the light strip module is exposed to the column, so that the light of the light strip module can be completely emitted outward through the light-emitting surface to ensure the lighting intensity.

[0019] 6. When the LED strip module is installed internally or externally relative to the mounting slot, the wire trough can be located on the column or on the outer frame. When the wire trough is located on the column, it is separated from the mounting slot to prevent the LED strip module and the wiring from interfering with each other, while ensuring the installation stability of the LED strip module. When the wire trough is located on the outer frame, it is separated from the recess to prevent the wiring and the LED strip from interfering with each other, ensuring the structural stability of the LED strip.

[0020] 7. The storage rack provided by this utility model includes a frame and a storage structure supported by the frame. The uprights of the frame are those described above, allowing for the replacement or installation of the LED strip module without disassembling the storage structure or the frame. This reasonably reduces the user's replacement or installation costs and improves the user experience. Furthermore, the power cords of appliances placed on the storage rack can be routed through cable trays, concealing the cords within the trays. This enhances aesthetics and prevents accidental snagging of the cords. The structural improvements enhance the versatility of the storage rack, making it suitable not only for scenarios emphasizing display but also for scenarios prioritizing storage.

At least one end of the mounting groove 110 extends to the end face of the support column 100 to form an open end 111, and at least one side of the mounting groove 110 is open to form a slot 112. At least a portion of the light strip module 200 enters the mounting groove 110 from the open end 111 or from the slot 112. A wire groove 300 for wiring is provided on the support column 100, on the light strip module 200, or between the support column 100 and the light strip module 200.

[0025] When a user needs to replace or add the LED strip module 200 later, the module can be inserted into the mounting slot 110 through the opening 111 or embedded into the slot 110 through the slot 112. This allows users to easily replace or add the LED strip module 200 without disassembling the support column 100, effectively reducing replacement or installation costs and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the power cords of appliances placed on the shelf can be routed through the cable tray 300, concealing them and preventing them from being exposed. This enhances aesthetics and prevents accidental snagging.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 In this embodiment, the column 100 includes a left column plate 131, a right column plate 132, a front column plate 133, and a rear column plate 134 that enclose a cavity 120. The left column plate 131 and the right column plate 132 are arranged parallel to each other horizontally, and the front column plate 133 and the rear column plate 134 are arranged parallel to each other front to back. The cross-sectional shape of the column 100 along its length is approximately rectangular. When the column 100 is used as a shelf, the end of the column 100 is fixed by an adjustable base. To install the adjustable base, the column 100 can have fastening holes 140 at the four corners of the cavity 120 for fixing the adjustable base, and bolts for fixing the adjustable base are screwed into the fastening holes 140.

[0027] In this embodiment, the wire trough 300 is also provided on the column 100. Furthermore, the left column plate 131 and the right column plate 132 extend forward a certain length relative to the front column plate 133. The front column plate 133 is provided with a partition 135 extending forward from approximately the middle. The front ends of the front column plate 133, the right column plate 132, and the partition 135 enclose to form a front-open mounting groove 110. The front ends of the front column plate 133, the left column plate 131, and the partition 135 enclose to form a front-open wire trough 300. That is, the mounting groove 110 and the wire trough 300 are both provided on the front side of the column 100 and are separated by left and right. The opening 112 of the mounting groove 110 faces forward, and the mounting groove 110 and the light strip module 200 are mutually adapted in cross-sectional shape along the direction perpendicular to the length. Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting groove 110 extends to the upper end face of the column 100, and the lower end of the mounting groove 110 extends to the lower end face of the column 100, that is, both the upper and lower ends of the mounting groove 110 are open ends 111.

[0028] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, the light strip module 200 includes a light strip 210 and an outer frame 220. The outer frame 220 has a roughly U-shaped cross-section perpendicular to its length and forms a groove 221 for mounting the light strip 210. The light strip 210 is fixedly embedded in the groove 221. One surface of the light strip 210 is exposed from the open side of the groove 221 to the outer frame 220, forming a light-emitting surface 211. The light from the light strip 210 can be emitted outward from the light-emitting surface 211. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light strip 210 can be an existing LED light strip or COB light strip, etc., as long as it meets the lighting requirements. The specific structure of the light strip 210 will not be described further.

[0029] Combination Figure 5To ensure stable mounting of the LED strip module 200 onto the column 100, a limiting structure is provided between the LED strip module 200 and the mounting groove 110 to prevent the LED strip module 200 from detaching from the column 100 at the groove opening 112. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the LED strip module 200 is mounted on the column 100, it is completely located within the mounting groove 110, i.e., the LED strip module 200 is built into the mounting groove 110. The limiting structure includes a limiting edge 113 located at the groove opening 112 and a limiting surface 222 located on the outer wall of the LED strip module 200. The limiting edge 113 abuts against the outer side of the limiting surface 222 to limit the LED strip module 200. Furthermore, the column 100 has opposing protruding limiting edges 113 on both the left and right sides of the groove opening 112 of the mounting groove 110, and the outer frame 220 of the LED strip module 200 has outwardly protruding ribs 223 on both the left and right sides, with the front surface of the ribs 223 forming the limiting surface 222. When the LED strip module 200 is installed on the column 100, the LED strip module 200 is completely located within the mounting groove 110. The limiting edge 113 abuts against the front side of the limiting surface 222. The contact between the limiting edge 113 and the limiting surface 222 confines the LED strip module 200 within the mounting groove 110, preventing the LED strip module 200 from detaching from the column 100 from the groove opening 112. In addition, the left and right sides of the open side of the wire trough 300 are also provided with opposing protruding limiting edges 113, which can confine the connecting wires within the wire trough 300.

[0030] Combination Figure 6 This embodiment also provides a storage rack 1000, including a frame 10 and a storage structure 20 supported by the frame 10. The frame 10 includes at least two parallel uprights 100, which are the uprights described above. Specifically, the frame 10 may be formed by only two uprights 100, and the opposite sides of the storage structure 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the two uprights 100 by fasteners. The storage structure 20 includes at least one of shelves 21, cabinets 22, and drawers 23. That is, the storage structure 20 can be any one of shelves 21, cabinets 22, and drawers 23, or a combination of any two of shelves 21, cabinets 22, and drawers 23, or a combination of all three. The storage structure 20 can be a single structure or a combined structure according to the user's specific needs. The cabinet 22 can be an open cabinet without doors or a cabinet with doors.

The LED strip module 200 pre-installed in the mounting slot 110 is limited by the contact between the limiting edge 113 and the limiting surface 222. The light-emitting surface 211 of the LED strip module 200 faces forward and is exposed from the slot 112 of the mounting slot 110 onto the column 100. Then the shelf 1000 is assembled. When assembling the shelf 1000, the upright 100 can be fixed first by the adjustable base 30, and then the corresponding storage structure 20 can be installed as needed; or the storage structure 20 and the upright 100 can be assembled first, and then the upright 100 can be fixed by the adjustable base 30.

[0032] If the user needs to replace or add the light strip module 200 later, the light strip module 200 can be inserted into the mounting groove 110 from the slot 112. The light strip module 200 inserted into the mounting groove 110 is limited by the contact between the limiting edge 113 and the limiting surface 222.

[0033] When an appliance that requires power is placed on the storage structure 20 of the shelf 1000, the appliance's power cord can be routed through the wire channel 300 and hidden inside the wire channel 300, so that the power cord is not exposed. This is not only more aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents the power cord from being accidentally snagged.

[0034] In other embodiments of this invention, the mounting groove 110 extends to one end face of the column 100 to form an open end 111, and the other end of the mounting groove 110 can be closed. In this case, the open end 111 of the mounting groove 110 is preferably facing upward.

[0035] In the specific solution of this embodiment, the light strip 210 can be fixedly embedded in the groove 221 of the outer frame 220 by means of injecting sealant or interference fit.

Preferably, the limiting rib 410 is located on the left outer side and / or right outer side of the outer frame 220, and the limiting groove 420 is located on the groove wall of the mounting groove 110 and corresponds to the limiting rib 410. When the LED strip module 200 is installed into the mounting groove 110, the limiting rib 410 is embedded in the limiting groove 420, thereby limiting the LED strip module 200. Of course, the positions of the limiting rib 410 and the limiting groove 420 can also be interchanged.

[0044] Combination Figure 9 In other specific embodiments of this invention, the width of the mounting groove 110 gradually increases from front to back to make the mounting groove 110 wider inside and narrower outside. At the same time, the width of the light strip module 200 gradually increases from front to back to make the light strip module 200 narrower at the front and wider at the back. When the light strip module 200 is installed in the mounting groove 110, the light strip module 200 is limited by the trapezoidal fit structure between the mounting groove 110 and the light strip module 200, which is narrower at the front and wider at the back.

[0045] Combination Figure 10a , Figure 10bIn other specific embodiments of this invention, the wire groove 300 may also be provided on the outer frame 220 of the light strip module 200. Specifically, the outer frame 220 includes a base plate 2281, a left frame plate 2282 extending forward from the left side of the base plate 2281, a right frame plate 2283 extending forward from the right side of the base plate 2281, and a middle plate 2284 extending forward from the middle part of the base plate 2281.

When the light strip module 200 is installed on the upper side of the column 100 through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part 227 and the mounting groove 110, the light strip module 200 is located outside the mounting groove 110, that is, the light strip module 200 is external to the mounting groove 110.

[0054] Specifically, the outer frame 220 includes a base plate 2281, a left frame plate 2282 located on the left side of the base plate 2281 and protruding forward relative to the base plate 2281, a right frame plate 2283 located on the right side of the base plate 2281 and protruding forward relative to the base plate 2281, and a middle plate 2284 located in the middle of the base plate 2281 and protruding forward relative to the base plate 2281. A snap-fit ​​part 227 is located on the rear side of the base plate 2281. The base plate 2281, the left frame plate 2282, and the middle plate 2284 enclose a groove 221 for mounting the light strip 210. The base plate 2281, the middle plate 2284, and the right frame plate 2283 enclose a wire groove 300. That is, the mounting groove 110 and the wire groove 300 are both located on the outer frame 220 and are separated. When the LED strip module 200 is installed on the column 100, the snap-fit ​​part 227 is embedded in the mounting groove 110, the LED strip module 200 is external relative to the mounting groove 110, and the light-emitting surface 211 is exposed on the column 100.

[0055] In order to improve the structural strength of the outer frame 220, in this embodiment, the left frame plate 2282 and the right frame plate 2283 of the outer frame 220 preferably adopt a double-layer structure and the cross-sectional shape along the length direction is approximately U-shaped. The left frame plate 2282 and the right frame plate 2283 form a buffer cavity with an opening facing the column 100.

[0056] In the specific solution of this embodiment, the limiting structure between the snap-fit ​​part 227 and the mounting groove 110 can refer to the matching structure in Embodiment 1 where the limiting edge abuts against the limiting surface, or the matching structure in Embodiment 1 where the limiting rib and the limiting groove are fitted together, or the trapezoidal matching structure with a wider inner side and a narrower outer side in Embodiment 1.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a storage rack, in which the uprights of the frame adopt the uprights 100 of this embodiment, and the other structures of the storage rack are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0058] Combination Figure 14a , Figure 14b , Figure 14c In other embodiments of this invention, the LED strip module 200 is mounted on the column 100 using a semi-enclosed structure. Specifically, the outer frame 220 has a roughly U-shaped cross-section perpendicular to its length. A snap-fit ​​part 227 is located on the rear side of the outer frame 220. One side surface of the LED strip 210 is exposed on the outer frame 220 to form a light-emitting surface 211. The front column plate 133 of the column 100 has a forward-protruding partition 135. The mounting groove 110 and the wire groove 300 are located on both sides of the partition 135, i.e., the mounting groove 110 and the wire groove 300 are both located on the column 100 and are spaced apart. The mounting groove 110 is an L-shaped groove. When the LED strip module 200 is mounted on the column 100, the snap-fit ​​part 227 is embedded in the mounting groove 110. The adjacent two sides of the LED strip module 200 are covered by the front column plate 133 and the partition 135, while the other two sides of the LED strip module 200 are exposed on the column 100.

[0059] The other structures in Embodiment 3 are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.
