DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0088] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present application will be introduced with reference to the drawings attached to the specification, so that the technical content will be clearer and easier to understand. The present application can be embodied in many different forms of embodiments, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the embodiments mentioned herein. A shelving system is fixed on a vertical surface, so a shelving board is placed horizontally or at a certain angle with a horizontal plane. In the horizontal plane, a direction perpendicular to the vertical plane is called “longitudinal direction”; and in the horizontal plane, a direction parallel to the vertical plane is called “transverse direction” or “length direction”. For brackets, racks and shelving boards, ends close to the vertical beam are called the “tails”, and ends far away from the vertical beam are called the “heads”.
Embodiment 1
[0089] The structure in this embodiment is shown in
[0090] As shown in
[0091] In this embodiment, the head of the rack 4 has a head extension 43. The head extension 43 is an extension part bent downward relative to the rack 4. A first baffle 55 is provided at the head of the shelving board 5, and the first baffle 55 is connected to the shelving board 5 through a bent portion 54, such that a certain angle is formed between the first baffle 55 and the shelving board 5. In this embodiment, preferably, the angle is 90 degrees. A second baffle 57 is also provided, and the second baffle 57 is connected to the first baffle through a bent portion 56, such that a certain angle is formed between the second baffle 57 and the first baffle 55. In this embodiment, preferably, the angle is 90 degrees. The first baffle 55 and the second baffle 57 are connected by the bent portion 54 and the bent portion 56 to jointly form a head hook portion 501 at the head of the shelving board 5, and the head hook portion 501 is a semi-enclosed structure. When the shelving board 5 is being installed, the head extension 43 may be received inside the head hook portion 501, that is, the head extension 43 is hooked by the head hook portion 501, and then the shelving board 5 is placed on the rack 4, such that the lower surface of the board body 502 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the rack 4. The head hook portion 501 realizes position-limiting of the shelving board 5 and the rack 4 at the head, so that the shelving board 5 cannot move toward the tail relative to the rack 4. At the same time, as long as the shelving board 5 does not move toward the head relative to the rack 4 to make the head extension 43 disengaged from the head hook portion 501, under the action of the second baffle 57, the shelving board 5 is also unable to move relative to the rack 4 in a vertical direction.
[0092] In order to prevent the shelving board 5 from moving toward the head relative to the rack 4, this embodiment adopts a manner in which a connecting piece cooperates with a matching groove. In this embodiment, a position-limiting knob 6 is used as the connecting piece. As shown in
[0093] The specific structure of the position-limiting knob 6 used in this embodiment is shown in
[0094] In other similar embodiments, the position-limiting knob 6 may also have a similar structure, as long as restriction of a movement of the shelving board 5 relative to the rack 4 in the vertical direction and restriction of a movement of the shelving board 5 toward the head relative to the rack 4 are realized.
[0095] Under the joint action of the head hook portion 501 and the position-limiting knob 6, the connection between the shelving board 5 and the rack 4 is realized, which hinders possible relative movements of the shelving board 5 relative to the rack 4 in various directions, thereby forming a stable shelving assembly comprising the shelving board 5 and the rack 4.
Embodiment 2
[0096] The structure of a shelving board 5 provided in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the shelving board 5 and a rack 4 are substantially the same as those in Embodiment 1, and the same parts will not be repeated here.
[0097] As shown in
[0098] In Embodiment 1, using the position-limiting knob 6 separated from the board body 502 for fixing is reliable, but the structure is complicated. Therefore, in this embodiment, a relatively simple position-limiting protrusion 7 is used to achieve a technical effect similar to that of the position-limiting knob 6 in Embodiment 1.
[0099] The position-limiting protrusion 7 is made of an elastic material, preferably, the same material as the board body 502. The specific structure of the position-limiting protrusion 7 in this embodiment is shown in
[0100] In this embodiment, the position-limiting protrusion 7 is provided on the lower surface of the board body 502 at a position corresponding to the transverse metal wire 42. A plurality of position-limiting protrusions 7 may be provided at positions corresponding to the same transverse metal wire 42, or a plurality of position-limiting protrusions 7 may also be provided at the same time at positions corresponding to a plurality of transverse metal wires 42 on the rack 4. When the shelving board 5 is being installed, the board body 502 is pressed toward the rack 4, and the two petals of the position-limiting protrusion 7 are slightly separated due to elasticity under the action of the transverse metal wire 42, thus wrapping the transverse metal wire 42 in the receiving space, and exerting pretension forces in various directions on the transverse metal wire 42, so as to play a role of position-limiting and connecting. Specifically, the first petal 71 exerts a force on the transverse metal wire 42 toward the head; and the second petal 72 exerts a force on the transverse metal wire 42 toward the tail. It can be understood that although the two-petal position-limiting protrusion 7 can play a good position-limiting and connecting role, the first petal 71 and the second petal 72 respectively exert a certain degree of force on the metal wire 42. Therefore, the first petal 71 and the second petal 72 do not need to exist at the same time. In some embodiments, for example, when only any one of the two petals is processed, or only one of the two petals exists due to damage, the position-limiting protrusion 7 can still play the role of position-limiting and connecting to a certain degree.
Embodiment 3
[0101] The structure of a shelving board 5 provided in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the shelving board 5 and a rack 4 are substantially the same as those in foregoing Embodiments, and the same parts will not be repeated here.
[0102] As shown in
Embodiment 4
[0103] The structure of a shelving board 5 provided in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the shelving board 5 and a rack 4 are substantially the same as those in foregoing Embodiments, and the same parts will not be repeated here.
[0104] As shown in
[0105] In this embodiment, the position-limiting hook 8 is an arc-shaped hook portion extending downward from the tail of the board body. The bracket 3 comprises a raised rib 31, which is a raised part extending from the tail of the bracket 3, and points toward the tail. The raised rib 31 forms a semi-enclosed structure for receiving a transverse metal wires 42 of the rack 4 so that the rack 4 is fixed relative to the bracket 3. When the shelving board 5 is being installed, the position-limiting hook 8 is brought into contact with the raised rib 31 and is stuck into the semi-enclosed structure formed by the raised rib 31. In this way, the position-limiting and connecting between the shelving board 5 and the bracket 3 are realized.
Embodiment 5
[0106] In some shelving systems, especially when the shelf is used as a shoe shelf, it is usually necessary to place a rack in a tilted manner, as shown in
[0107] Since the rack 4 is turned upside down for use, its head extension 43 is upwardly warped. In order to cooperate with the head extension 43, the shelving board 5 provided in this embodiment is provided with three bent portions 58, 54, 56 at the head. In the viewing angle of
[0108] It should be understood that technical features such as the head hook portion 501, the recessed groove 51 and the raised band 52, the matching groove 53 and the position-limiting knob 6, the position-limiting protrusion 7, the position-limiting hook 8, the avoiding groove 510, and the hollow channel 59 described in the above embodiments do not exist by depending on each other. Those skilled in the art may combine one or more of the above technical features to form similar technical solutions according to actual needs, all of which are within the scope of this specification.
[0109] The shelving boards 5 provided in the above embodiments may all be made by an extrusion process. The shelving board 5 manufactured by the extrusion process can be cut into an appropriate length according to an actual need, and there is no need to prepare a plurality of sizes of prefabricated molds for racks 4 of different lengths, which can greatly reduce the cost.
[0110] The shelving boards 5 provided in the above embodiments may all be made into prefabricated pieces of the same size by an injection molding process. In some shelving assemblies, in order to be suitable for racks 4 of different lengths, a plurality of shelving boards 5 may be spliced, by means of a splicing mechanism, for use. The splicing mechanism in this embodiment is shown in
[0111] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skills in the art may make many modifications and changes according to the concept of the present application without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present application and the prior art should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
