TECHNICAL FIELD
The pressure disclosure relates to a storage shelf, and more particularly to a storage shelf for tool-free cabinet assembly.
BACKGROUND
Combined storage shelfs can be randomly combined according to the needs of the occasion, and are suitable for home interiors, offices, etc. The columns of the combined storage shelf can be divided into round pipe and square pipe column types. If round pipe columns are used, their shape and structure cannot be assembled laterally and horizontally, which is not conducive to expanding the assembly space. Therefore, in order to expand the assembly space, square pipe columns are used.
However, the storage shelf that is customarily assembled with square tube columns are often fixed with rivets or screws, which is inconvenient to assemble, troublesome to disassemble, and reduces usability.
In addition, the cabinets in the storage shelf are usually fixed on the storage shelf with a combination device and a tool. This not only causes holes on the side surface of the cabinet, but also some products use plastic assemblies. Special tools are required in processing and production, and the production requirements are high, and the product defect rate is also high.
Therefore, how to overcome the problems encountered by conventional storage shelfs will be one of the issues to be solved by the industry.
