The invention relates to the technical field of storage racks, in particular to an assembly storage rack.
The storage rack is a shelf composed of base plates and pillars to store sundries. Most of them are supported by strip brackets and supported by the bottom plates. They have unique shapes, smart designs, easy assembly and disassembly, are clean and bright, the open design allows for easy visibility of stored items.
Most of the storage racks on the market consist of several upright poles, several identical baskets are detachably arranged on the upright poles, and the cross-section of the baskets is trapezoidal. During transportation, the baskets are stacked one by one, and the upright poles are disassemble and stored inside the baskets. However, due to the same size of thses baskets, they fit tightly when stacked, making it inconvenient to disassemble them from each other during the assembly process. In order to solve this problem, some manufacturers will produce storage racks with different sizes of baskets. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN 201920931282.5 discloses a foldable storage rack comprises at least three storage baskets, the sizes of the first storage basket, the second storage basket, and the third storage basket increase in sequence, so that during transportation, the first storage basket is completely placed in the second storage basket, and the second storage basket is completely placed in the third basket; compared with the foldable storage racks previously sold on the market, this foldable storage rack can place the first storage basket inside the second storage basket, and the second storage basket can be placed inside the third storage basket.
