HOOK ASSEMBLY AND SHELVING ASSEMBLY USING THE SAME

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to a connecting mechanism, in particular to a hook assembly and a shelving assembly using the hook assembly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Shelves are commonly used equipment in daily life. Household shelves are usually used to place clothes, daily necessities, etc., and commercial shelves are usually used to place commodities and products. Among them, shelves installed on vertical surfaces are widely used in supermarkets and shopping malls because of their small footprints. A shelf of this kind usually has a plurality of brackets fixedly installed on a vertical wall surface or a board surface, and then a rack is placed horizontally on the brackets to form a shelf. The rack has a grid-like structure, which is composed of a plurality of transverse metal wires provided in parallel and a plurality of longitudinal metal wires provided in parallel interwoven.

In a shelving system, a hook assembly is one of the commonly used shelving assemblies. The hook assembly usually comprises an upper connecting mechanism and a lower hook, wherein the connecting mechanism is used to connect the hook assembly to a rack or a bracket, and the hook is used to hang clothes or a rail. In some prior art, the hook assembly comprises an elongated top, and the top comprises a front hook portion and a rear hook portion. The width of the elongated top is less than the gap between longitudinal metal wires provided in parallel, and the length of the top is equal to the gap between transverse metal wires provided in parallel. When installing, after tilting the top by a certain angle, and passing it through the gap between the longitudinal metal wires from bottom to top, lay the top flat. The front hook portion and the rear hook portion respectively hook a transverse metal wire, so that the hook assembly is fixedly connected to the rack.

With the increase in demand, it is desirable that the shelving system can carry more goods, as well as heavier weight. One of the conventional methods to solve this problem is to use a densely gridded rack. That is, the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires of the rack is reduced. In this case, because the width of the top of the hook assembly in the prior art is larger than the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires, the hook assembly is interfered by the longitudinal metal wires and cannot enter the gap between the longitudinal metal wires. If the width of the top is reduced in order for the hook assembly to enter the gap between the longitudinal metal wires, the strength of the top will be reduced, such that the load-bearing capacity of the hook assembly will be reduced.

Therefore, those skilled in the art devote themselves to developing a hook assembly and a shelving assembly using the hook assembly. In a shelving system that uses a densely gridded rack, the hook assembly can be reliably connected to the densely gridded racks without affecting the load-bearing capacity of the shelving assembly.

Embodiment 1

The structure view of this embodiment is shown in FIGS. 2-5. In this embodiment, there is provided a hook assembly comprising a connecting portion 101 and a hook portion 102. The connecting portion 101 is fixedly connected to the hook portion 102, and a first end 22 of the hook portion 102 is connected to the connecting portion 101. In this embodiment, in a normal use state, the connecting portion 101 is above the hook portion 102. The connecting portion 101 is an elongated rectangle, comprising a front hook portion 11, a rear hook portion 12 and a receiving groove 13. The front hook portion 11 and the rear hook portion 12 are respectively located at two ends of the connecting portion 101 along the length direction. Preferably, the front hook portion 11 is located at a front end of the connecting portion 101, and the rear hook portion 12 is located at a rear end of the connecting portion 101. The connecting portion 101 has a first surface 14, that is, the upper surface of the connecting portion 101. The first surface 14 is substantially a flat surface. The receiving groove 13 is a recessed groove provided on the first surface 14 of the connecting portion 101 along the length direction of the connecting portion 101. The receiving groove 13 crosses the first surface 14 along the length direction of the connecting portion 101. The hook portion 102 is curved and is “J” shaped as a whole. A first end 22 of the “J” shaped hook portion 102 is connected to the connecting portion 101, and a lower hook portion 21 is provided at a second end 23 of the “J” shaped hook portion 102.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front and rear sides of the second end 23 of the “J” shaped hook portion 102 each extend a certain distance to form the lower hook portion 21. The lower hook portion 21 is used to receive a hanging rod of a shelving assembly. The lower hook portion 21 has a lower hook portion opening, and preferably, the orientation of the lower hook portion opening is opposite to the orientation of the front hook portion 11, that is, upwards along the vertical direction as shown in the figure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the receiving groove 13 extends from the first surface 14 along the front hook portion 11, dividing the front hook portion 11 into two parts.

As shown in FIG. 4, the receiving groove 13 extends from the first surface 14 along the rear hook portion 12, dividing the front hook portion 12 into two parts.

The connection relationship between the shelving system and other components in the shelf in this embodiment is shown in FIG. 5. A rack 3 is composed of multiple sets of transverse metal wires 32 provided in parallel and multiple sets of longitudinal metal wires 31 provided in parallel interwoven. In the prior art, the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 is relatively large, and the width a of the connecting portion 101 of the hook assembly is less than the spacing d between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31. Therefore, the connecting portion 101 can pass between two longitudinal metal wires 31, and a connection between the hook assembly and the rack 3 is realized by the front hook portion 11 and the rear hook portion 12 receiving adjacent transverse metal wires 32. However, in some embodiments, it is necessary to reduce the spacing d between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31, that is, to form a densely gridded rack 3, so as to increase the carrying capacity of the rack 3, or to prevent small-volume items from falling through a gap between longitudinal metal wires 31. For the densely gridded rack 3, the spacing d between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 of the rack is relatively small, which is less than the width a of the connecting portion 101 of a commonly used hook assembly. If a hook assembly 1 in the prior art is used, its connecting portion 101 cannot enter a gap between two adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 of the rack 3 due to the interference of the longitudinal metal wires 31. If the width of the connecting portion 101 is reduced in order to match the smaller spacing d between the longitudinal metal wires 31, the strength of the entire hook assembly 1 will be affected, and its load-bearing capacity will be reduced. Under this premise, the receiving groove 13 provided on the upper surface of the connecting portion 101 can have an effect. When the hook assembly 1 is installed on the rack 3, the receiving groove 13 is placed in parallel with the longitudinal metal wires 31, and a longitudinal metal wire 31 is received in the receiving groove, so that the connecting portion 101 can pass through the rack 3 from bottom to top and will not be interfered by the longitudinal metal wires 31. The upper part of the rear hook portion 12 is located above a transverse metal wire 32, and the lower part of the rear hook portion 12 is located below the transverse metal wire 32, such that the transverse metal wire 32 is surrounded by the rear hook portion 12. Similarly, the front part of the front hook portion 11 is located in front of an adjacent transverse metal wire 2, and the rear part of the front hook portion 11 is located behind the transverse metal wire 32, such that the transverse metal wire 32 is surrounded by the front hook portion 11. The opening of the rear hook portion 12 is oriented backward, thus restricting a movement of the hook assembly in the vertical direction; and the opening of the front hook portion 11 is oriented downward, thus restricting a movement of the hook assembly in the longitudinal direction. When a longitudinal metal wire 31 is received in the receiving groove 13, the hook assembly is restricted from moving in the transverse direction. Therefore, when the front hook portion 11 and the rear hook portion 12 are matched with each other, and the spacing therebetween is substantially equal to the spacing between two adjacent transverse metal wires 32, the hook assembly can connect two transverse metal wires 32 and one longitudinal metal wire 31 at the same time, so that its position is completely limited and fixed relative to the rack 3. In order to achieve the best position-limiting effect, the diameter of a curve where the front hook portion 11 is located and the diameter of a curve where the rear hook portion 12 is located is set to match the diameter of the transverse metal wire 32, and the width and depth of the receiving groove 13 are set to match the diameter of the longitudinal metal wire 31.

The entire hook assembly is made of a material with certain elasticity. When the hook assembly needs to be removed from the rack, an external force may be exerted to toggle the front hook portion 11 or the rear hook portion 12, such that the transverse metal wire 32 is disengaged from the front hook portion 11 or the rear hook portion 12, thus eliminating the position-limiting on the hook assembly.

The lower hook portion 21 is used to receive the hanging rod 4. When two or more identical hook assemblies are installed at corresponding positions of the rack 3, the hook assemblies can receive one same hanging rod 4 to increase its load-bearing capacity. Preferably, the diameter of a curve where the lower hook portion 21 is located is set to match the diameter of the hanging rod 4.

In summary, FIG. 5 shows a shelving assembly comprising a rack 3 and a hook assembly 1. The hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3. The hook assembly 1 comprises a hook portion 102 and a connecting portion 101. One end of the hook portion 102 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 101. A first surface 14 of the connecting portion 101 is provided with a receiving groove 13 along the length direction of the connecting portion 101. The receiving groove 13 is used to receive a longitudinal metal wire 31 of the rack 3. The connecting portion 101 further comprises a front hook portion 11 and a rear hook portion 12 respectively provided at two ends of the connecting portion in its length direction, and the front hook portion 11 and the rear hook portion 12 are respectively connected to transverse metal wires 32 provided adjacently on the rack 3.

In other optional embodiments, it may also be a shelving assembly comprising a rack 3, a hanging rod 4, and a hook assembly 1, as shown in FIG. 7. The hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3, and the hanging rod 4 is connected to the hook assembly 1.

The hook assembly 1 comprises a hook portion 102 and a connecting portion 101. One end of the hook portion 102 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 101. A first surface 14 of the connecting portion 101 is provided with a receiving groove 13 along the length direction of the connecting portion 101. The receiving groove 13 is used to receive a longitudinal metal wire 31 of the rack 3. The connecting portion 101 further comprises a front hook portion 11 and a rear hook portion 12 respectively provided at two ends of the connecting portion in its length direction, and the front hook portion 11 and the rear hook portion 12 are respectively connected to transverse metal wires 32 provided adjacently on the rack 3. The hook portion 102 further comprises a lower hook portion 21 (as shown in FIG. 2) provided at a second end 23 thereof, and the lower hook portion 21 is configured to carry the hanging rod 4.

In other optional embodiments, it may also be a shelving assembly comprising a horizontal beam 7, a vertical beam 6, a bracket 5, a rack 3, a hanging rod 4, and a hook assembly 1, as shown in FIG. 9. The horizontal beam 7 is fixedly connected to a vertical surface; the vertical beam 6 is slidably connected to the horizontal beam 7; the bracket 5 is detachably connected to the vertical beam 6; the rack 3 is provided on the bracket 5 and is in contact with the bracket 5, and the rack 3 comprises longitudinal metal wires 31; the hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3; and the hanging rod 4 is connected to the hook assembly 1. The hook assembly 1 comprises a connecting portion 101, the hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3 through the connecting portion 101, and the width a of the connecting portion 101 is greater than the spacing d between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 (as shown in FIG. 1).

In other optional embodiments, it may also be a shelving assembly comprising a bracket 5, a rack 3, a hanging rod 4, and a hook assembly 1, as shown in FIG. 11. The bracket 5 is fixedly connected to a vertical surface; the rack 3 is provided on the bracket 5 and is in contact with the bracket 5, and the rack 3 comprises longitudinal metal wires 31; the hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3; and the hanging rod 4 is connected to the hook assembly 1. The hook assembly 1 comprises a connecting portion 101, the hook assembly 1 is connected to the rack 3 through the connecting portion 101, and the width a of the connecting portion 101 is greater than the spacing d between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 (as shown in FIG. 1).

Embodiment 2

In this embodiment, the structure of the hook portion 102 and the connection relationship between the hook portion 102 and the connecting portion 101 are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that when there are further requirements for the load-bearing capacity of the hook assembly, the width of the connecting portion 101 may be increased to exceed the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31 two times, or even three times or four times and so on. Correspondingly, it is only necessary to provide a plurality of parallel receiving grooves 13 on the upper surface of the connecting portion 101 to prevent the longitudinal metal wires 31 from interfering with the connecting portion 101 during installation. Preferably, the spacing between adjacent receiving grooves 13 is equal to the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires 31. As in Embodiment 1, the width and depth of the receiving groove 13 are preferably set to be consistent with the diameter of the longitudinal metal wire 31, which can increase the strength of the hook assembly while achieving the best position-limiting effect.

Embodiment 3

In some applications, the length of the rack 3 is not infinite, but a plurality of racks of a predetermined length are spliced together according to an actual need. As shown in FIG. 6, it is formed by splicing a first rack 3 and a second rack 3′ together. Therefore, it is usually necessary to provide a connecting piece in the shelving system to ensure the stability of a splicing place of the rack.

In this embodiment, the structure of the connecting portion 101, the structure of the hook portion 102, and the connection relationship between the connecting portion 101 and the hook portion 102 are the same as those in the Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, the width of the receiving groove 13 on the connecting portion 101 is set to be able to receive two longitudinal metal wires 31 provided side by side. As shown in FIG. 6, specifically, the two longitudinal metal wires are respectively a longitudinal metal wire 31 located at the most edge of the first rack 3 and a longitudinal metal wire 31′ at the most edge of the second rack 3′. The longitudinal metal wire 31 and the longitudinal metal wire 31′ are provided adjacently in parallel, that is, the longitudinal metal wire 31 located at the most edge of the first rack 3 is provided adjacent to the second rack 3′, and the longitudinal metal wire 31′ at the most edge of the second rack 3′ is provided adjacent to the first rack 3. More preferably, the width of the receiving groove 13 is equal to the sum of the diameters of the longitudinal metal wire 31 and the longitudinal metal wire 31′. Since the longitudinal metal wire 31 and the longitudinal metal wire 31′ usually adopt the same diameter as other longitudinal metal wires 31, that is, the width of the receiving groove 13 is equal to twice the diameter of the longitudinal metal wire 31, the receiving groove 13 just receives two longitudinal metal wires provided side by side. When the two longitudinal metal wires 31, 31′ are placed side by side in the receiving groove 13, due to the mutual position-limiting between side walls of the receiving groove 13 and the two longitudinal metal wires 31, 31′, the connection between the two adjacent racks 3, 3′ is stable. That is, the hook assembly itself becomes a connecting piece between two adjacent racks, so there is no need to additionally provide a rack connecting piece in the shelving system. In this embodiment, in order to allow the longitudinal metal wires 31, 31′ belonging to two adjacent racks to be received in the receiving groove 13, at end positions, the transverse metal wires 32, 32′ belonging to the two racks 3, 3′ needs to be flush with the longitudinal metal wires 31, 31′ at the most edge, so as to avoid mutual interference, which also do not reduce the welding strength between the racks 3, 3′ at the same time.

In other similar embodiments, if the load-bearing capacity of the hook assembly needs to be increased, the width of the connecting portion 101 can be further increased. It is only necessary to provide a plurality of receiving grooves 13 at corresponding positions of a plurality of longitudinal metal wires 31 to achieve the same technical effect.

In summary, FIG. 6 shows a shelving assembly comprising at least two racks 3, 3′ and a hook assembly 1, wherein the two racks 3, 3′ are provided adjacently. The hook assembly 1 is connected to a joint between the two racks 3, 3′. The hook assembly 1 comprises a hook portion 102 and a connecting portion 101.
