In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as illustrative, and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings, therefore once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0027] In the present disclosure, addressing the issues in the prior art where booklet racks lack partition functionalityleading to disordered stacking, inefficient retrieval, susceptibility to crushing and damage, and the inability of some partitioned racks to flexibly adjust partition sizes to accommodate booklets of varying specificationsa wall-mounted booklet rack with adjustable partitions is provided. It consists of a main frame and partition rods. The main frame is composed of a front plate, a back plate, and a bottom plate, forming a U-shaped groove for placing booklets. The front plate is equipped with a plurality of through holes, while the back plate has recesses with embedded magnets at corresponding positions. The partition rods, made of iron, can pass through the front plate's through holes and be magnetically fixed by the recessed magnets, thereby forming freely adjustable partitions within the U-shaped groove. This structure allows flexible partition arrangement based on booklet specifications, enabling orderly classification, easy retrieval, and effective prevention of mixing, tipping, and crushing damage, while improving space utilization and management efficiency. Below, embodiments of the wall-mounted booklet rack with adjustable partitions will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the wall-mounted booklet rack with adjustable partitions in this embodiment includes a main frame 100 and partition rods 200. The main frame 100 consists of an integrally formed front plate 110, back plate 120, and bottom plate 130. The front plate 110 and back plate 120 are arranged parallel and opposite to each other in the vertical direction, while the bottom plate 130 is fixedly connected to the bottom ends of both the front plate 110 and the back plate 120. These three components enclose an upward-opening U-shaped accommodating groove 140. The accommodating groove 140 supports booklets stored vertically inside it through the bottom plate 130, while the vertical restraint provided by the front plate 110 and back plate 120 prevents the booklets from tipping over.

[0029] In other embodiments (not shown), the front plate 110, back plate 120 and bottom plate 130 of the main frame 100 adopt a modular and detachable design to enhance transportation convenience and component replacement flexibility. Specifically, the bottom edge of the front plate 110 features a strip-shaped insertion slot along its length, with a cross-section shaped like an inverted T. The front edge of the bottom plate 130 is correspondingly equipped with a T-shaped insertion strip that matches the slot. The two achieve detachable connection through insertion, with a fitting clearance of 0.2 mm after insertion to ensure no noticeable wobbling post-assembly. The rear edge of the bottom plate 130 has upward-protruding clasps (e.g., elastic hooks), while the bottom edge of the back plate 120 is correspondingly provided with clasp slots that match the clasps. The clasp engagement depth is 3.5 mm, and pressing the elastic end of the clasp unlocks it, enabling quick disassembly and assembly of the bottom plate 130 and back plate 120. This modular design allows the main frame to be disassembled for packaging and transportation, reducing packaging volume compared to a monolithic structure. Moreover, if a component (e.g., worn through holes in the front plate or a deformed bottom plate) is damaged, only the corresponding module needs replacement instead of the entire main frame. Additionally, by swapping bottom plates of different lengths or front/back plates of varying heights, the rack can quickly adapt to larger or smaller booklet storage needs, expanding its application scope. The assembled main frame forms a U-shaped accommodating groove through the aforementioned connection structures, with structural strength comparable to the integrally formed version, still meeting the load-bearing requirements for booklet storage.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 4, the bottom plate 130 is inclined forward, with its front edge adjacent to the front plate 110 lower than its rear edge adjacent to the back plate 120, forming an elevation angle of 5-30 with the horizontal plane. This inclined structure is achieved through integral molding or welding between the bottom plate 130, front plate 110, and back plate 120, with rounded transitions at the joints to avoid stress concentration. When a booklet is placed upright on the inclined bottom plate 130, the forward-low and rear-high tilt of the bottom plate causes the bottom of the booklet adjacent to the front plate 110 to sit lower, while the bottom adjacent to the back plate 120 sits higher. This height difference naturally exposes the booklet's cover at the opening of the accommodating groove 140, enhancing the visibility of the cover information and facilitating quick identification by users. Additionally, the inclined bottom plate 130 provides guidance for booklet repositioning: when a user places the booklet back into the U-shaped groove, it slides down along the slope and automatically rests against the front plate 110, aiding in orderly storage and reducing the difficulty of partition management.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 2, 6, and 8, the front plate 110, the back plate 120 and the bottom plate 130 are all made of acrylic material. The front plate 110, the back plate 120 and the bottom plate 130 are all rectangular flat structures. The length direction of the front plate 110 and the back plate 120 is defined as the horizontal direction parallel to the long side of the bottom plate 130. The front plate 110 is equidistantly provided with a plurality of circular through holes 111 along its length direction, with the axis of each through hole 111 perpendicular to the plate surface of the front plate 110. The bore diameter R1 of the through hole 111 is 5 mm, which accommodates the insertion requirements of the partition rod 200, ensuring smooth passage while controlling the wobble amplitude of the partition rod 200 after insertion through reasonable clearance. On the inner side of the back plate 120 facing the accommodating groove 140, cylindrical recesses 121 are provided corresponding to the axial extension lines of each through hole 111, matching the bore diameter of the through holes 111. The recesses 121 are spaced along the length direction of the back plate 120. Each recess 121 contains a magnetic connection unit, which, in the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, is a magnet 122. Each magnet 122 is configured as a cylinder matching the shape of the recess 121 and is fixedly embedded within the recess 121. The depth of the recess 121 is greater than the thickness of the magnet 122. For example, the depth D1 of the recess 121 is set to 5 mm, while the thickness D2 of the magnet 122 is set to 2 mm, creating a reserved gap of 3 mm in the recess 121. This gap forms an engagement chamber for the partition rod 200, ensuring stable placement and preventing slippage or detachment after the partition rod 200 is inserted into the recess 121.

[0032] In some embodiments, the magnet 122 can be fixedly connected to the recess 121 through various fastening methods. Specifically, an interference fit assembly can be employed, where the outer peripheral size of the magnet 122 is slightly larger than the inner wall size of the recess 121 (with an interference amount controlled within the range of 0.05-0.1 mm). By press-fitting, a tight interlock is formed between the two, utilizing the radial constraint force generated by the elastic deformation of the material to achieve fixation. Alternatively, structural adhesives (such as epoxy-based adhesives) can be used for bonding. Before applying the adhesive, the inner wall of the recess 121 and the outer surface of the magnet 122 should undergo degreasing treatment. After applying the adhesive, the magnet 122 is pressed into the recess 121 to a preset depth. Alternatively, an annular protrusion is arranged on the inner wall of the recess 121 and correspondingly an annular groove is arranged on the outer periphery of the magnet 122. A snap connection is achieved through the engagement of the protrusion and the groove, with the slight elastic deformation of the magnet 122 itself facilitating the snap-fit during assembly, ensuring both secure fixation and ease of future maintenance or replacement. Regardless of the installation method, it is essential to ensure that the magnet 122 does not loosen or shift due to the insertion/removal forces of the partition rod 200 or external vibrations during long-term use, thereby stably maintaining the magnetic adsorption effect on the partition rod 200.

[0033] Please refer to FIGS. 7, 8, and 10. A plurality of partition rods 200 are all made of metal material. In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition rod 200 is configured as an iron cylindrical partition rod with a diameter R2 of 4.5 mm and a length of 40 mm. Its surface is treated with zinc plating, chrome plating, or anti-rust coating to prevent corrosion and extend service life. During use, the partition rod 200 is inserted backward from the through hole 111 of the front plate 110, with its end embedded into the recess 121 of the back plate 120 and fixed by magnetic adsorption from the magnet 122 (see FIG. 5). By adding, removing, or moving the partition rods 200 at different through holes 111, the U-type accommodating groove 140 can be divided into a plurality of adjustable-width partition intervals. The width of each partition interval is jointly defined by two adjacent partition rods, allowing this design to accommodate booklets of varying widths.

[0034] In other embodiments (not shown), the through holes 111 and recesses 121 are not limited to a single horizontal level on the front plate 110 and back plate 120. Instead, a plurality of rows of through holes 111 and recesses 121 can be arranged at different heights. By selecting through holes 111 and recesses 121 at varying heights for installing the partition rods 200, multi-level adjustment of partition height can be achieved.

[0035] In other embodiments (not shown), the magnetic fixation method between the partition rod 200 and the main frame 100 can be replaced with a mechanical snap-fit fixation. Specifically, the back plate 120 is provided with sliding rail grooves spaced along the length direction at positions corresponding to the through holes 111. The cross-section of these grooves is dovetail-shaped or T-shaped. The ends of the partition rod 200 are integrated with an elastic snap-fit assembly, which specifically includes a spring-loaded push-type latch and a locking protrusion adapted to the shape of the sliding rail groove. When the partition rod 200 passes through the through hole 111, its end is inserted into the sliding rail groove of the back plate. At this point, the latch is compressed and retracts. Once the locking protrusion aligns with the preset snap position in the sliding rail groove, the spring pushes the latch to pop out, completing the mechanical interlock. To adjust the position, pressing the exposed latch release button at the end of the partition rod with a finger disengages the locking protrusion from the snap position, allowing the partition rod 200 to slide along the sliding rail groove or be completely removed. This method replaces magnetic fixation with mechanical snap-fit fixation, maintaining the stability of each partition in the booklet rack and reducing the risk of partition rod 200 detachment.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 9, in the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the back plate 120 is equipped with a suspension structure for fixing the main frame 100 to a wall. Specifically, two hanging holes 123 are symmetrically arranged adjacent to the upper edge of the back plate 120. These hanging holes 123 are compatible with wall-mounting components (such as expansion bolts or preset hooks). During installation, the main frame 100 can be suspended and fixed to the building wall by passing the hanging components through the hanging holes 123. This suspended arrangement removes the main frame 100 from ground support, preventing dust accumulation at the bottom from contaminating the booklets and maintaining a clean storage environment. Additionally, it eliminates interference from ground obstructions during booklet retrieval or placement, improving operational convenience. Moreover, the symmetrical distribution of the two hanging holes 123 evenly disperses the load of the main frame and booklets to the wall anchor points, preventing structural deviation caused by long-term suspension. This ensures the positioning stability of the partition rod 200 and maintains the design accuracy of each partition throughout its usage cycle.

[0037] In other embodiments (not shown), a transparent label plate slot can be added to the outer surface of the front plate 110. Specifically, label plate slots corresponding to each partition are arranged on the outer surface of the front plate 110. These slots are open snap-fit structures that can accommodate label plates indicating booklet categories. The visual labels intuitively display the contents stored in each partition, helping users quickly locate target booklets and improving partition identification and management efficiency.

[0038] In summary, the present disclosure achieves the following technical effects:

[0039] In the present disclosure, the U-shaped accommodating groove 140 between the front plate 110 and the back plate 120, in cooperation with the partition rod 200, can form clear partitions. The partition rod 200 passes through the through hole 111 of the front plate and inserts into the recess 121 of the back plate. Through magnetic positioning provided by the magnet 122, it can quickly generate visible storage compartments, enabling orderly classified storage of booklets and reducing user search and repositioning time. The partition rod 200 is inserted into the through hole 111 and forms a detachable magnetic fixation with the magnet 122 in the recess 121. Adjacent partition rods 200 create separation boundaries within the U-shaped groove, with their spacing defining the width of the storage compartment. This allows flexible combination and fine-tuning according to booklet sizes without disassembling the bottom plate or replacing the frame, accommodating booklets of different specifications and improving space utilization and device adaptability.

[0040] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be appreciated that directional terms such as front, rear, up, down, left, right, horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal and top, bottom etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description. In the absence of a contrary explanation, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure; the directional terms inside, outside refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0041] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as on . . . , above . . . , on the upper surface of . . . , upper etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature with other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be appreciated that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation described in the drawings.
