The present disclosure relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular, to a storage rack.
With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for materials is getting higher and higher. The kitchen areas of modern urban families are small and the storage capacity of cabinets is limited, but the space under the kitchen range is rarely used. The existing storage racks cannot be adjusted in height and cannot be adapted to the spaces under the kitchen ranges of different heights. Moreover, since the heights of the storage racks cannot be adjusted, when the stored items are too high, another way should be found out. With this regard, the present disclosure designs a novel storage rack, which cannot only adjust different heights to suit various environments, but also has sufficient stability, solidity and durability, and is simple to operate and convenient to use.

When the button 321 moves down, the second elastic member 323 elastically deforms to compress inwards. The sliding groove plate 322 displaces downwards, and also moves downwards. The sliding groove 335 moves in a direction close to the button 321 under a force transferred from the sliding groove plate 322. The first elastic member 336 is stressed to elastically deform to compress in the direction close to the button 321. The protrusions 333 move in the direction close to the button 321 with the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332, and are separated from the grooves 223. The outer rod 221 freely displaces up and down along the inner rod 222 to adjust the extension lengths of the telescopic rods 220. When the button 321 moves up from the lowermost end, the second elastic member 323 is reset to an original state. The sliding groove plate 322 displaces upwards, and the sliding groove 335 loses the force applied by the sliding groove plate 322. The first elastic member 336 releases elastic performance to push the inner wall of the clamping slot 334. The sliding grooves 335 and the protrusions 333 move in a direction away from the button 321 with the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332. The protrusions 333 abut against the grooves 223. The outer rod 221 of the telescopic rod 220 is stopped by the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332, and cannot move. The length of the telescopic rod 220 is fixed. The control mechanism 30 controls elongation lengths of the telescopic rods 220.
In this embodiment, the first elastic member 336 and the second elastic member 323 are both springs. However, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 336 and the second elastic member 323 may be other non-spring elastic members, and the product of the present disclosure cannot be restricted by springs.
When the storage rack is in use, the user visually checks how high the storage rack is required, and then the user starts to press the buttons 321 in the two groups of control mechanisms 30 at the same time. The buttons 321 move down, and the sliding groove plates 322 also move down, such that the sliding grooves 335 drive the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332 to move in the direction close to the buttons 321. The protrusions 333 are separated from the grooves 223. By moving the housing 310, the outer rod 221 is driven to vertically move along the inner rod to adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 220. After the required length of the telescopic rod 220 is determined, the buttons 321 are released. The second elastic member 323 releases the elastic performance to upwards reset to the original state, and the buttons 321 are pushed by the second elastic member 323 to move upwards from the lowermost end. The sliding groove plates 322 do not control the sliding grooves 335 anymore. The first elastic member 336 pushes the inner wall of the clamping slot 334, and drives the sliding grooves 335 and the protrusions 333 move in the direction away from the button 321 with the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332. The protrusions 333 are buckled with the grooves 223. The outer rod 221 of the telescopic rod 220 is stopped by the first cross beam 331 and the second cross beam 332, and cannot move. The length of the telescopic rod 220 is fixed. Then, the storage rack is placed at the usage position. If the storage rack cannot be placed at the usage position or the height is not satisfied at this time, the above operations can be repeated to adjust the telescopic rods 220 to finally adjust the height of the storage rack. Then, the gripping region 120 is moved to easily pull out the storage box to take or place an item.
The foregoing disclosed is merely one preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and certainly shall not be used to limit the scope of the claims of the present disclosure. A person of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or some of the procedures for implementing the foregoing embodiment and make equivalent changes according to the claims of the present disclosure. The equivalent changes still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
