[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] In combination with Figures 1-5, the present embodiment provides a shelf with foldable shelves, a plurality of mutually connected columns 1 and a plurality of shelf sets, wherein one or more shelf sets of choice comprise:

[0034] support crosspieces 2 and at least one fixing crosspiece 3 all connected between adjacent columns 1;

[0035] at least one fixing element 4 rotatably connected to a column 1;

[0036] tablet bodies 5 articulated to the support crosspieces 2;

[0037] in which the tablet bodies 5 cooperate with the fixing crosspieces 3 or with the fixing elements 4.

[0038] Concretely, when it is necessary to fold the tablet body 5 upwards, it is first necessary to pivot the tablet body 5 in the proximal direction of the fixing element 4, so that the tablet body 5 separates from the fixing crosspiece 3, then continue to pivot the tablet body 5 until the tablet body 5 and the column 1 are in contact, simultaneously the fixing element 4 is pivoted in the proximal direction of the tablet body 5 until the fixing element 4 and the tablet body 5 cooperate, for example the fixing element can hook the tablet body to complete the folding upwards;when it is necessary to fold the shelf body 5 downward, firstly the fixing member 4 must be rotated in the distal direction of the shelf body 5, so that the fixing member 4 and the shelf body 5 are separated, and then the shelf body 5 must be rotated in the proximal direction of the fixing crossbar 3 until the shelf body 5 and the fixing crossbar 3 cooperate, thereby completing the downward folding; to summarize, folding upward and folding the shelf body 5 downward facilitates the changing of the storage space of the adjacent shelf set, and thus facilitates the storage of goods of different sizes, furthermore it is not necessary to detach the shelf body 5 from the shelf, thereby decreasing the degree of complexity of the operations of changing the storage space. ;

[0039] The column 1 serves to support the set of tablets, the concrete number of columns 1 is not limited, but it must be at least 4, the arrangement mode can be based on the mutual parallelism of the present embodiment; the support crosspiece 2 serves to articulate the tablet body 5, facilitating the rotation of the tablet body 5; the fixing crossbar 3 serves to fix the shelf body 5 after it is folded down, as well as to support the shelf body 5 and the goods placed on the shelf body 5, the number of fixing crossbars 3 provided on the shelf body is at least one, preferably two, it can also be a plurality as desired, the fixing element 4 serves to fix the shelf body 5 after it is folded up, so that the shelf body 5 is in the folded up state, preventing the shelf body 5 from folding down under its own weight;the shelf body 5 is used for loading the goods; when the shelf body 5 is in the upwardly folded state, the shelf body 5 and the fixing member 4 cooperate, when the shelf body 5 is in the downwardly folded state, the shelf body 5 and the fixing crosspiece 3 cooperate. ;

[0040] The plurality of sets of shelves may be arranged horizontally, for example they may be arranged in a substantially parallel manner between the columns.

[0041] Further, as shown in [Fig.5] the fixing elements 4 comprise:

[0042] a rotating part 41, one end of the rotating part 41 is rotatably connected to a column 1;

[0043] a foldable portion 42, one end of the foldable portion 42 is connected to the other end of the rotating portion 41, the other end of the foldable portion 42 cooperates with the tablet body 5. The shape of the foldable portion 42 is L-shaped.

[0044] Concretely, the rotating part 41 serves to drive the rotation of the foldable part 42 around the column 1, which facilitates the cooperation between the foldable part 42 and the tablet body 5. For example, after the rotating part 41 has rotated clockwise, it can realize the cooperation and fixation with the tablet body, after the rotating part 41 has rotated counterclockwise, it can realize the cancellation of the fixed state of the tablet body, and vice versa.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to ensure the fixing effects of the fixing member 4, when the rotating part 41 rotates in the direction of fixing the tablet body, there is an upper limit of rotation, for example, this upper limit of fixing may be such that the fixing member of [Fig.5] holds the rotating part and the tablet body in a vertical state, at which time the fixing of the tablet body can be carried out. This upper limit of rotation may be delimited by a structural element for limiting and positioning.

[0046] The back surface of the tablet body 5 may also be provided with a reinforcing rib, the distribution direction of the reinforcing rib may be parallel to the support crosspiece.

[0047] Furthermore, the connection mode between the rotating part 41 and the foldable part 42 is a one-piece connection.

[0048] Concretely, it facilitates the reinforcement of the integrity of the fixing element 4.

[0049] Furthermore, the tablet bodies and the support crosspieces 2 are connected by at least one minus two hinges 6.

[0050] Concretely, the at least two hinges 6 facilitate the reinforcement of the solidity of the connection between the tablet body 5 and the support crosspiece 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the number of fixing crosspieces 3 is two, the axial cross-section of the two fixing crosspieces 3 relative to said support crosspieces 2 has a symmetry.

[0052] Concretely, this facilitates the reinforcement of the symmetry of the forces exerted on the tablet body 5, thus reinforcing the stability of the tablet body 5.

[0053] Furthermore, the quantity of the fixing elements 4 is two, the axial cross-section of the two fixing elements 4 relative to the support crossbars 2 has a symmetry. The fixing elements can be arranged on the top of the support crossbars and on the position of cooperation with the tablet body 5 when folded down.

[0054] Furthermore, the columns 1 are ordered vertically, the fixing crosspieces 3 and the support crosspieces 2 are all ordered horizontally, the fixing crosspieces 3 and the paired support crosspieces 2 are generally arranged on the same surface in order to receive the tablet body 5 once folded down.

[0055] Concretely, this facilitates the reinforcement of the symmetry of the forces exerted on the tablet body 5, thus reinforcing the stability of the tablet body 5.

[0056] In addition, it includes:

[0057] a plurality of lower portion crosspieces 7 connected between adjacent columns 1;

[0058] a lower part shelf 8 connected to the lower part crosspieces 7.

[0059] Concretely, the lower part crosspieces 7 are used on the shelf of lower part 8, the lower part shelf 8 is used to support the goods.

[0060] Furthermore, it comprises a first stop plate 9 connected to adjacent columns 1 and a second stop plate 10 connected to adjacent columns 1, the first stop plate 9 and the second stop plate 10 are respectively arranged at both sides of the support crosspieces 2. The first stop plate and the second stop plate of the present embodiment all comprise only a small section, in other embodiments, the first stop plate and the second stop plate may extend in the direction of the columns in order to block the entire side surface.The first stop plate and the second stop plate of the present embodiment are all arranged at the outer side of the fixing crossbars 3, this can play a guiding role when the tablet body is folded down, in other embodiments, the first stop plate and the second stop plate may be arranged at positions not corresponding to the fixing crossbars.

[0061] Concretely, the first stop plate and the second stop plate serve to prevent the goods placed on the shelf body 5 from falling.

[0062] A schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments has been given above, this description is not limiting in any way, the representations of the attached Figures constitute only one of the embodiments of the present invention, its actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, any structural method and embodiment similar to said technical solution designed by the person skilled in the art who has been inspired therefrom, provided that it does not deviate from the design of the present invention and does not provide creative work, is within the scope of the present invention.
