Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, specifically to a modular storage shelving that requires no tool assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Storage racks are a type of storage equipment that uses butterfly clips as a connection structure. The clips can be directly inserted into the holes in the uprights and automatically lock in place, allowing for quick and easy fixing of beams and shelves without tools. They are easy to assemble and disassemble and have a stable connection. The shelf height can be flexibly adjusted and the number of shelves can be increased or decreased to accommodate the storage needs of goods of different sizes. When used with storage boxes and cartons, they can efficiently organize items and are suitable for flexible storage and rapid layout in small and medium-sized warehouses, balancing practicality and convenience.

[0003] In the prior art, a storage rack with patent application number CN202321761587.9 includes a storage rack body, a base plate constituting the storage rack body, multiple shelves, and sliding rods fixed in a rectangular array at the top of the base plate. The sliding rods are slidably inserted into the shelves. A groove is provided at the center of the bottom end face of each shelf, and rotating tubes are installed on both sides of the bottom end face of each shelf. Lead screws are fixed on both sides of the top end face of the base plate and threaded into the rotating tubes. Positioning grooves are provided on the side walls of two lead screws. A meshing assembly is installed between two rotating tubes on the same side, and they rotate synchronously through the meshing assembly. An axial positioning element is provided on the side wall of the rotating tube, engaging with the positioning groove. A knob is fixedly sleeved at the bottom end of the rotating tube. This storage rack avoids the shelves being squeezed by gravity, causing the lead screws to rotate, thus improving the stability after shelf height adjustment. To maintain the stability of warehouse racks, they are usually placed against the wall. However, because the wall obstructs the operating space, items close to the wall need to be moved aside before they can be retrieved. This increases the number of storage and retrieval steps, reduces operational efficiency, and can also easily cause goods to tip over or be damaged when being moved. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tool-free modular storage rack that effectively solves the problem that walls obstruct the operating space and items near the wall require the outer goods to be moved before they can be retrieved, thus increasing the storage and retrieval process.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotating column is fixed to one end of the cam, and a guide plate is provided on one side of the rotating column. One side of the guide plate is fixed to one end of the moving rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a locking plate is fixed to one side of the movable rod, and a locking frame is movably connected to the outside of the locking plate, with the locking frame fixed to one side of the support box.

[0012] Furthermore, a second spring is fixed to the bottom of the baffle, and one end of the second spring is fixed to the inner wall of the layer plate.

[0013] Compared with the known prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: without removing the outer goods, the shelf can be directly pulled out from the shelf, exposing the goods on the wall side to the operating space, saving the extra moving process and improving the efficiency of storage and retrieval operations; the goods do not need to be moved repeatedly, reducing the risk of tipping and collision damage, and ensuring the safety of goods storage.

[0014] When the shelf is pulled out, the baffle rises simultaneously to protect the goods on the shelf, preventing the goods from slipping due to the inertia of being pulled out, avoiding damage from falling goods and operational safety risks, and ensuring the stability of the goods storage and retrieval process.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0020] Example: A tool-free modular storage rack, see attached diagram. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 The system includes a shelving assembly 1, which includes a shelf 11, a crossbeam 12 below the shelf 11, and an upright plate 13 on one side of the crossbeam 12. Shelves 11 serve as load-bearing components, used to directly place and support various goods, providing a stable support surface for goods storage and adapting to the placement needs of goods of different sizes. Beams 12 bear the load of shelves 11 and goods, evenly transferring the load to uprights 13, while also reinforcing shelves 11 to prevent deformation under stress. Uprights 13 serve as vertical support components of the rack, connecting beams 12 and bearing the load transferred by beams 12, maintaining the overall vertical stability of the rack, and providing installation benchmarks and structural support for shelves 11 and beams 12. Beams 12 can be installed on beams 12 using butterfly locks, and then shelves 11 can be placed directly on beams 12.

[0021] The movable component 2 is disposed on the shelf 11 and includes a movable part 21. The movable part 21 includes a support box 211. The support box 211 is located at the bottom of the shelf 11. The shelf 11 is located at the top of the crossbeam 12. A baffle 212 is movably connected to the top of the shelf 11. A movable rod 213 is movably connected to one side of the shelf 11.

[0022] The support box 211 supports the shelf 11. Placing the support box 211 on the crossbeam 12 completes the installation of the shelf 11. Moving the moving rod 213 releases the restriction on the shelf 11, at which point the baffle 212 on the shelf 11 can be raised. Then, the shelf 11 can be moved to detach from the top of the support box 211, allowing the shelf 11 to be pulled out of the shelf for easy retrieval of items. At the same time, the baffle 212 protects the goods on the shelf 11 and prevents them from falling off.

[0023] Specifically, the movable component 2 also includes a connector 22, which includes a connecting plate 221. The connecting plate 221 is fixed to the bottom of the shelf 11, and a support rod 222 is hinged to one side of the connecting plate 221. One end of the support rod 222 is hinged to the inner wall of the support box 211.

[0024] There are two sets of connectors 22, located on both sides of the inner wall of the support box 211. When the shelf 11 moves, it can drive the connecting plate 221 to move. At this time, the movement of the connecting plate 221 can drive the support rod 222 to move. The movement of the support rod 222 can support the shelf 11 and prevent the shelf 11 from shifting when it moves.

[0025] Furthermore, a hinge rod 223 is hinged to one side of the connecting plate 221. One end of the hinge rod 223 is hinged to the inner wall of the support box 211, and a moving block 224 is rotatably connected to one side of the hinge rod 223.

[0026] When the connecting plate 221 moves, it can drive the hinge rod 223 to move. At this time, the movement of the hinge rod 223 can drive the moving block 224 to move. After the goods on the shelf 11 are removed, the movement of the moving block 224 can drive the hinge rod 223 to return to its original position, so that the shelf 11 can return to its original position. At this time, the user can support the shelf 11 as needed, so that the movement of the shelf 11 is more stable.

[0027] Preferably, a first spring 225 is fixed to one side of the movable block 224, and a support block 226 is fixed to one end of the first spring 225. The support block 226 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support box 211.

[0028] When the movable block 224 moves, it can apply a pulling force to the first spring 225. The rebound force of the first spring 225 can drive the movable block 224 back to its original position. The support block 226 is used to support one end of the first spring 225 to prevent the first spring 225 from shifting.

[0029] It should be noted that the moving component 2 also includes a protective component 23, which includes a connecting rod 231. The connecting rod 231 is fixed to one side of the baffle 212, and a cam 232 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 231.

[0030] When the moving rod 213 moves to release the restriction on the shelf 11, it can drive the cam 232 to rotate. The cam 232 is rotatably connected to the shelf 11. The rotation of the cam 232 presses the bottom of the connecting rod 231, thereby causing the connecting rod 231 to drive the baffle 212 to rise.

[0031] Furthermore, a rotating column 233 is fixed to one end of the cam 232, and a guide plate 234 is provided on one side of the rotating column 233. One side of the guide plate 234 is fixed to one end of the moving rod 213.

[0032] The rotating column 233 is rotatably connected to one side of the shelf 11. A guide strip is fixed at one end of the rotating column 233. A guide groove corresponding to the guide strip is opened on the guide plate 234. The guide strip is slidably connected in the guide groove. When the moving rod 213 moves, it can drive the guide plate 234 to move. At this time, the guide groove on the guide plate 234 presses against the guide strip, thereby causing the rotating column 233 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column 233 can drive the cam 232 to rotate.

[0033] Specifically, a locking plate 235 is fixed to one side of the moving rod 213, and a locking frame 236 is movably connected to the outside of the locking plate 235. The locking frame 236 is fixed to one side of the support box 211.

[0034] Moving the moving rod 213 can cause the locking plate 235 and the locking frame 236 to separate, thus releasing the limit on the shelf 11. When the shelf 11 returns to its original position, the locking plate 235 and the locking frame 236 can be engaged to limit the shelf 11.

[0035] Preferably, a second spring 237 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 212, and one end of the second spring 237 is fixed to the inner wall of the shelf 11.

[0036] When the baffle 212 is raised, it can apply a pulling force to the second spring 237. After the locking plate 235 and the locking frame 236 are engaged, the rotating column 233 can drive the cam 232 to rotate, thereby releasing the pressure on the connecting rod 231. At this time, the force of the second spring 237 can drive the baffle 212 back to its original position.

[0037] When using the modular storage rack, which requires tool-free assembly, the beam 12 is first installed on the upright plate 13 using butterfly latches to build the basic frame of the rack. This ensures that the beam 12 is firmly installed and provides a stable support benchmark for the shelf 11. Then, the support box 211 is placed on top of the beam 12 to complete the initial positioning of the moving component 2. No additional tools are required, making assembly convenient and efficient.

[0038] By inserting the locking plate 235 on one side of the moving rod 213 into the locking frame 236, the relative position of the shelf 11 and the support box 211 is fixed, preventing the shelf 11 from sliding accidentally. The baffle 212 adheres to the surface of the shelf 11 under the action of the second spring 237, without affecting the placement of goods.

[0039] Goods can then be placed on the shelf 11. The uprights 13 and the beams 12 work together to bear the load of the shelf 11 and the goods, maintaining the overall stability of the shelf and adapting to the storage needs of goods of different sizes. When it is necessary to retrieve goods from the side against the wall, first push the moving rod 213. The moving rod 213 drives the locking plate 235 to disengage from the locking frame 236, releasing the restriction on the shelf 11.

[0040] Subsequently, the moving rod 213 synchronously drives the guide plate 234 to move. The guide plate 234 presses the guide strip on the rotating column 233 through the guide groove, causing the rotating column 233 and the cam 232 to rotate. The cam 232 presses the bottom of the connecting rod 231, and the connecting rod 231 drives the baffle 212 to rise, while stretching the second spring 237. The baffle 212 forms a protective barrier to prevent the goods from slipping due to inertia when the shelf 11 is pulled out.

[0041] When the shelf 11 is pulled by the puller, the shelf 11 moves the connecting plate 221 at the bottom. The connecting plate 221 drives the support rod 222 and the hinge rod 223 to rotate synchronously. The hinge rod 223 drives the moving block 224 to stretch the first spring 225. The support rod 222 and the hinge rod 223 work together to ensure that the shelf 11 is pulled out smoothly. The goods on the wall side can be exposed without removing the outer goods, thus improving storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0042] After the goods are retrieved, the shelf 11 is released. The first spring 225 rebounds and drives the moving block 224, the hinge rod 223 and the connecting plate 221 to reset. The shelf 11 automatically returns to the top of the support box 211. Then, the moving rod 213 is pushed in the opposite direction, and the locking plate 235 is re-locked into the locking frame 236 to fix the shelf 11. At the same time, the cam 232 reverses to release the pressure on the connecting rod 231. The second spring 237 rebounds and drives the baffle 212 to adhere to the surface of the shelf 11, restoring the goods to their original position.

[0043] In summary, without removing the outer goods, shelf 11 can be directly pulled out from the shelf, exposing the goods against the wall to the operating space, saving extra moving procedures, improving storage and retrieval efficiency, and reducing the risk of tipping and damage by eliminating the need to move the goods repeatedly, thus ensuring the safety of the stored goods.

[0044] When shelf 11 is pulled out, baffle 212 rises simultaneously to protect the goods on shelf 11, preventing the goods from slipping due to the inertia of being pulled out, avoiding damage from falling goods and operational safety risks, and ensuring the stability of the goods storage and retrieval process.
