Abstract

A shelving system comprises a horizontal beam, a vertical beam, a bracket, a rack, and a position-limiting piece. The vertical beam is slidably connected to the horizontal beam, the bracket is detachably connected to the vertical beam, the rack is in contact with an upper edge of the bracket, the position-limiting piece is detachably connected to the bracket through a gasket, and the position-limiting piece is connected to the bracket and can prevent the rack from moving relative to the bracket. In the present application, the strength of a connecting part between the bracket and the vertical beam is enhanced by the gasket, and the stability of the bracket and the rack is increased by the position-limiting piece, thereby improving the goods carrying capacity of the shelving system as a whole.

Claims (10)

1. A shelving system, comprising a bracket, a rack and a vertical beam, wherein the vertical beam is connected to a vertical surface, the bracket is connected to the vertical beam, and the rack is provided on the bracket;

wherein the shelving system further comprises a position-limiting piece, wherein the position-limiting piece is provided at a joint between the bracket and the vertical beam, the position-limiting piece is connected to the bracket, the rack and the vertical beam, and the position-limiting piece is configured to impede a position change of the bracket relative to the vertical beam and to impede a position change of the rack relative to the bracket;

wherein the bracket comprises a bracket wall, and the bracket wall comprises a cam shaft hole;

wherein the position-limiting piece comprises a cam shaft, and the cam shaft is fitted with the cam shaft hole, so as to realize a rotational connection between the position-limiting piece and the bracket;

wherein the vertical beam comprises a vertical beam slotted hole;

wherein one end of the position-limiting piece is provided with a raised rib and a pressing portion, the raised rib is configured to be inserted into the vertical beam slotted hole and be subjected to a force of an upper edge of the vertical beam slotted hole, to reduce a movable space of the bracket relative to the vertical beam;

wherein the pressing portion is connected to the raised rib and is configured to be able to drive the raised rib to move toward or away from the upper edge of the vertical beam slotted hole under the action of an external force, thereby enabling the position-limiting piece to be connected to or disconnected from the vertical beam;

wherein the position-limiting piece comprises a retaining rib configured to receive a transverse metal wire of the rack, and a curved connecting portion is provided between the raised rib and the retaining rib;

wherein the retaining rib is in an arch shape, and a receiving space is formed under the retaining rib to receive the transverse metal wire of the rack.

2. The shelving system of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a lug, and the bracket is configured to be inserted into the vertical beam slotted hole through the lug to realize a detachable connection to the vertical beam.
