    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

    [0021] The above and other objects, features and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

    [0022] With reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 for an exploded view and a partial sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and a schematic view of another implementation mode of a second wire of a preferred embodiment of the present invention respectively, the present invention provides a grid structure 1, and a storage rack 2, and the storage rack 2 comprises four corner pillars 21 disposed at four corners of the storage rack 2 respectively and coupled to form a plurality of edge frames 22 with a rectangular frame space, and at least one grid 1 disposed in the frame space, and the edge frames 22 and the grid 1 are combined to form a carrying plane 11 for carrying heavy objects, and the grid is formed by a plurality of first wires 12 and a plurality of second wires 13 staggered with one another, and the first wires 12 are parallelly disposed with a spacing from one another, and the second wires 13 are parallelly disposed with a spacing from one another and at the bottom of the first wires 12, and the second wires 13 and the first wires 12 are perpendicular to one another to show a custom-character shaped staggered grid design. Wherein, each second wire 13 is a metal solid wire or a metal hollow tube, and each second wire 13 has a sectional shape corresponsive to a positive force direction of the carrying plane and in a flat elliptical shape, and the elliptical shape is formed by stamping or rolling the original circular wire, so that the weight remains unchanged. In addition, actual tests show that the aspect ratio of the sectional shape of the second wire 13 falls within a range of 1.5:13.5:1, and the aspect ratio may be changed according the wire diameter of the second wires 13. For example the second wire 13 with a smaller wire diameter may select an aspect ratio approximately equal to 1.5:12:1, and the second wire 13 with a large wire diameter may select an aspect ratio approximately equal to 2:13.5:1, because the cross-sectional area of a wire with a small wire diameter is also small. If the aspect ratio is too small, then the wire will become too flat or too thin, and too flat and thin wire is inconvenient for the soldering process and unable to improve the strength. Sometimes, the too-small aspect ratio may result in poor effects. Compared with the original wire, tests that the second wires 22 of the special shape will not increase the weight of materials, and the aspect ratio within this range can improve the supporting effect for carrying heavy objects effectively. It is noteworthy that the density after the first wires 12 and the second wires 13 of the present invention are combined is correlated to the supporting strength. The larger the distribution density, the greater the supporting strength. Meanwhile, a larger distribution density indicates a larger consumption of material, and creates a large challenge to the weight and material cost of the product. Therefore, it is a key point to select the distribution density of the wires and adopt different distribution densities for different parts.

    [0023] With reference to FIG. 4 for a schematic view of a structure of another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the grid structure 1 further comprises a plurality of third wires 14 which is also a metal solid wire or a metal hollow tube, and the third wires 14 are parallelly disposed with a spacing from one another and at the top of the first wire 12, and the third wires 14 and the first wires 12 are perpendicular to one another, so that the first wires 12 are clamped between the second wires 13 and the third wires 14. Like the previous preferred embodiment, each third wire 14 has a sectional shape corresponsive to a positive force direction of the carrying plane and in a flat elliptical shape and an aspect ratio falling within a range of 1.5:13.5:1 (for the reasons same as above, and thus the details will not be repeated).

    [0024] With reference to FIG. 5 for another implementation mode of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, if the grid structure 1 adopts less first wires 12 and second wires 13, then the density of the grid structure will be smaller. To improve the supporting force and strength at both ends, the second wire 13 at the extreme edge and facing the center of the grid structure 1 has another second wire 13, installed with a smaller spacing, so that the edge has two second wires 13 to enhance the strength without adding more first wires 12. Such arrangement has the advantages of saving the material cost and reducing the weight which is advantageous for the application of carrying a smaller load.
