According to a further embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, at least one water passing hole 34 is provided on the flexible tray so that water and other impurities can pass therethrough, thereby avoiding secondary pollution to objects placed on the flexible tray.

Specifically, the water passing holes 34 may be provided as one or more than one. For example, one, two, three, five, ten, etc. The water passing holes 34 may have a circular shape, a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, an irregular shape, etc. The size of the water passing holes 34 should be smaller than the size of the smallest object placed so that the placed object is not easily dropped from the water passing holes 34. In the embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of water passing holes 34 are provided along the sliding direction of the sliding bracket 30 and along the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding bracket 30, and the water passing holes 34 are of a strip-shaped structure.

According to yet another embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 3-5, the slide rail 20 includes a cross rail section 20-1 and a side rail section 20-2 connected, the cross rail section 20-1 extending laterally and the cross rail section 20-1 being spaced above or below the main shelf 10, the side rail section 20-2 being connected to the main shelf 10, the sliding bracket 30 having a deployed position on the cross rail section 20-1 and a stowed position on the side rail section 20-2, the sliding bracket 30 being adapted to be laterally placed on the sliding bracket 30 when in the deployed position.

The slide rail 20 includes a transverse rail section 20-1 extending transversely thereto, and the slide bracket 30 is positioned on the transverse rail section 20-1 such that an elongated object can be positioned transversely to the slide bracket 30. This eliminates the need to leave excessive height above or below the primary shelf 10 to accommodate elongated objects, thereby greatly increasing the space utilization of the shelf assembly 100.

The sliding bracket 30 can be switched between the unfolding position and the storage position by sliding connection with the sliding rail 20, and the operation is labor-saving and convenient, the sliding bracket 30 does not need to be disassembled to be stored, and the sliding bracket 30 is prevented from being lost.

When the cross rail section 20-1 of the sliding bracket 30 is located above the main shelf 10, the sliding arrangement of the sliding bracket 30 allows the position thereof to be switched, and interference of the sliding bracket 30 with the object on the main shelf 10 can be reduced. In addition, when the sliding bracket 30 is not required, it can be received so as to give the main shelf 10 a higher placing space.

In some embodiments, the side rail sections 20-2 of the slide rail 20 are fixedly connected to the main shelf 10, whereby the connection stability is high, and the support for the sliding bracket 30 can be better provided. The fixed connection mode between the slide rail 20 and the main shelf 10 is not limited, and can be welding connection, integral molding and the like. Of course, the embodiment of the present utility model is not limited thereto, and a detachable connection such as a plug connection may be used between the side rail section 20-2 of the slide rail 20 and the main shelf 10.

In particular, the cross rail section 20-1 of the slide rail 20 may be a linear rail, for example, the cross rail section 20-1 may be disposed parallel to the bottom wall 12 of the main shelf 10. The cross rail section 20-1 of the slide rail 20 may be a wavy line shaped rail, or may be another linear rail, etc.

Likewise, the side rail sections 20-2 of the slide rail 20 may be linear rails, for example, the side rail sections 20-2 may be disposed perpendicular or oblique to the bottom wall 12 of the main shelf 10. The side rail sections 20-2 of the slide rail 20 may also be wavy line shaped rails, or other linear rails, etc.

In addition, the shape of the single slide rail 20 may be unlimited. For example, the rail 20 includes a cross rail section 20-1 and side rail sections 20-2 connected at both ends of the cross rail section 20-1, and the single rail 20 may be formed in an "n" shape. Alternatively, the track 20 may include a cross rail section 20-1 and side rail sections 20-2 attached to one end of the cross rail section 20-1, and the individual track 20 may be formed in an "L" shape. Alternatively, the track 20 includes two cross rail segments 20-1 and a side rail segment 20-2 connected between the two cross rail segments 20-1, and a single track 20 may form a "T" shape. In addition, more shapes can be designed when the shapes of the cross rail sections 20-1 and the side rail sections 20-2 are changed, for example, when the slide rail 20 includes a cross rail section 20-1 and side rail sections 20-2 connected to both ends of the cross rail section 20-1, the single slide rail 20 can be formed in an "M" shape by arranging the cross rail section 20-1 in a multi-fold line shape.

Further, as shown in fig. 3-5, the slide rail 20 further includes a transition section 20-3 connected between the cross rail section 20-1 and the side rail section 20-2, the transition section 20-3 being arcuate to enable smooth movement of the slide bracket 30 at the corner, facilitating switching of the slide bracket 30 between the cross rail section 20-1 and the side rail section 20-2.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, the number of the sliding rails 20 is not limited, and may be one or more.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the sliding rails 20 are two arranged at intervals, and two ends of the sliding bracket 30 are respectively connected with the two sliding rails 20 in a sliding manner. Thus, the two ends of the sliding bracket 30 are supported by the sliding rail 20, so that the sliding bracket 30 can be more stable when placed, and objects are not easy to incline and scatter when impacted, thus the requirement on assembly precision is low. And the connection structure between the sliding bracket 30 and the sliding rail 20 is relatively easy to set, so that the difficulty of structural design is reduced. In addition, the two slide rails 20 are arranged at intervals, and when the sliding bracket 30 returns to the storage position, the two slide rails 20 interfere with foreign objects less.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 6, the main shelf 10 includes a first side wall 111, a second side wall 112, and a third side wall 113 connected in sequence, the first side wall 111 and the third side wall 113 being disposed opposite to each other.

Wherein the side rail sections 20-2 of the two slide rails 20 are connected to the second side wall 112 and disposed adjacent to the first side wall 111 and the third side wall 113, respectively. Alternatively, the side rail sections 20-2 of the two slide rails 20 are connected to the first side wall 111, the third side wall 113, respectively, and disposed adjacent to the second side wall 112. Thus, when the slide bracket 30 is returned to the storage position, the two slide rails 20 interfere less with foreign objects. The slide carriage 30 may be configured to be longer and to more smoothly rest on the slide carriage 30 when the slide carriage 30 is returned to the deployed position.

According to a further embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the slide rail 20 includes at least one slide bar 21 extending in the sliding direction of the slide bracket 30, and the lower end of the slide bar 21 is located inside or outside the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10; the sliding bracket 30 is located at least partially inside the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 or outside the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 when in the storage position.

By arranging the slide rail 20 as the slide bar 21, the sliding connection part 31 of the sliding bracket 30 can be sleeved on the slide bar 21, or the sliding connection part 31 is clamped by two slide bars 21, so that the sliding bracket 30 slides along the slide rail 20, the section shape of the slide bar 21 does not need to be complex, and the sliding bracket can be manufactured by adopting a conventional round bar, square bar and the like, and has lower cost. The slide bar 21 itself is an elongated bar, and the desired shape is obtained by bending. The angle of the slide bracket 30 at each position on the slide rail 20 can be accurately predicted by the shape of the slide bar 21. The slide rail 20 with the structure has the advantages of low cost, easy processing, small occupied volume, easy assembly and difficult clamping stagnation.

The slide rail 20 may be a narrow plate as shown in fig. 7, without limiting the use of a thin rod. The narrow plate can enlarge the contact surface between the slide rail 20 and the sliding bracket 30 or lengthen the contact line, which is beneficial to increasing the balance degree.

According to a further embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the shelf assembly 100 satisfies at least one of the following conditions: case one: the sliding brackets 30 include sliding connection parts 31 which are limited between two adjacent sliding rods 21; and a second case: the sliding connection 31 includes a slider 312 that is sleeved on the slide bar 21.

In the first case, the sliding connection portion 31 of the sliding bracket 30 is sandwiched by the two slide bars 21, so that not only is the assembly easy, but also the shape of the slide bar 21 can define the movement locus of the sliding connection portion 31. Also, in the second case, the sliding bracket 30 is slid over the slide bar 21 by the slider 312, the assembly is easy, and the shape of the slide bar 21 can define the moving track of the slide connection portion 31. And the sliding bracket 30 is smoother at the sliding switching position of the sliding rail 20.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, the slide connection portion 31 may include: the connecting shaft 311 and the slide fastener 312, the connecting shaft 311 is fixedly or detachably arranged on the sliding bracket 30, the slide fastener 312 is connected with the connecting shaft 311, and the slide fastener 312 is sleeved on the inner slide bar 21a or the outer slide bar 21b so as to drive the sliding bracket 30 to slide along the slide rail 20.

Alternatively, at each end of the sliding bracket 30, the connection shaft 311 is provided in two or more. Further alternatively, two or more connecting shafts 311 are provided at the ends of the sliding bracket 30 connected to the slide rail 20, so that the sliding stability of the sliding bracket 30 can be improved.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the sliding connection part 31 may include: the connecting shaft 311 and the roller 313, the connecting shaft 311 is fixedly or detachably arranged on the sliding bracket 30, the roller 313 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 311, and the roller 313 is clamped between two adjacent sliding rods 21 as shown in fig. 5. The connecting shaft 311 is used for connecting the roller 313, the roller 313 is in rolling fit on the sliding rail 20, so that the friction force between the sliding connecting part 31 and the sliding rail 20 can be reduced, and the smoothness of the sliding bracket 30 during position adjustment can be improved.

In order to prevent the roller 313 from slipping off the connecting shaft 311, a limiting structure 314 is disposed at an end of the connecting shaft 311 away from the sliding bracket 30. The structure of the limiting structure 314 is not limited, and the roller 313 can be prevented from slipping.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 12, the limiting structure 314 includes at least two cantilevers 315, and a limiting wedge 316 is provided at an end of each cantilever 315. There is a gap between cantilevers 315, the small end of limit wedge 316 is away from cantilevers 315 and the large end is connected to cantilevers 315. Thus, when the roller 313 is sleeved on the limiting structure 314, the roller 313 is guided by the shape of the limiting wedge 316 to press the cantilever 315, so that all the cantilevers 315 are contracted, and the roller 313 is sleeved on the cantilever 315. When the shape of the limit wedge 316 is not guided, the plurality of cantilevers 315 are restored to open, making the roller 313 difficult to disengage from the limit structure 314. Such a limiting structure 314 not only realizes the anti-falling function, but also facilitates the installation of the roller 313 and the connection shaft 311. In addition, when an external force presses the limit wedge block 316 to shrink all the cantilevers 315 again, the roller 313 can be detached.

According to a further embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the sliding bars 21 are two and are respectively an inner sliding bar 21a and an outer sliding bar 21b, the lower end of the inner sliding bar 21a is located inside the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10, and the lower end of the outer sliding bar 21b is located outside the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10.

In this way, the slide bracket 30 can be positioned inside or outside the main shelf 10 when in the storage position. The sliding connection 31 of the sliding bracket 30 may be sleeved between the inner slide bar 21a, the outer slide bar 21b, or between the inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b to slide the sliding bracket 30 along the slide rail 20.

Here, the inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b each have a portion extending laterally above or below the main shelf 10, and each portion belongs to the lateral rail 20-1. The inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b each have a portion extending to the bottom wall 12 or the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 to bring the slide bracket 30 to the storage position, which portions belong to the side rail section 20-2.

The inner slide rod 21a and the outer slide rod 21b are connected at the cantilever ends, so that the sliding bracket 30 is not easy to be separated from the cantilever ends when sliding to the transverse rail section 20-1, and can be used as a positioning structure of the sliding bracket 30 in the unfolding position.

The inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b are integrally formed with the hanging bar 22, and the hanging bar 22 is hung on the main shelf 10 to fixedly support the whole slide rail 20. Wherein the inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b are no longer in close connection at this end of the side rail section 20-2, e.g. the lower end of the inner slide bar 21a is not connected to the hanger bar 22, from where the sliding bracket 30 can be fitted with the inner slide bar 21a and then can slide along the inner slide bar 21 a. Alternatively, the lower end of the inner slide bar 21a is provided with a hook 21c3, and the sliding bracket 30 is stopped by the hook 21c3 when sliding to the lower end of the inner slide bar 21 a. Of course, the inner slide 21a may be formed in other shapes in the present application, for example, the lower end of the inner slide 21a may be punched to form a cylinder after the second bracket 32 is attached to the inner slide 21 a.

Alternatively, the inner slide bar 21a includes an inclined bar 21c2 on the side rail section 20-2, the inclined bar 21c2 being located above the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 and being disposed to extend obliquely toward the inside of the main shelf 10 in the downward direction. By providing the inclined bar 21c2, the distance between the inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b of the side rail section 20-2 at the portion above the main shelf 10 is made smaller, so that the overall structure of the sliding bracket 30 is more compact and the structural stability is higher.

The outer slide bar 21b may include an inclined bar 21c2 on the side rail section 20-2, and the inclined bar 21c2 may be located above the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 and may be inclined to extend toward the outside of the main shelf 10 in the downward direction.

It is also possible that the inner slide bar 21a and the outer slide bar 21b each include an inclined bar 21c2 on the side rail section 20-2, the inclined bar 21c2 being located above the side wall 11 of the main shelf 10 and being provided to extend obliquely toward the inside and outside of the main shelf 10, respectively, in the downward direction.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the outer slide bar 21b is an upright bar 21c1 integrally with the side rail section 20-2. The inner slide bar 21a includes three sections in the side rail section 20-2, an upper and a lower section being a vertical bar 21c1 and a middle section being an inclined bar 21c2. The inclined rod 21c2 is located just above the hanger bar 22, and a triangular area enclosed by the middle inclined rod 21c2 of the inner slide rod 21a, the top end of the hanger bar 22, and the outer slide rod 21b is an installation empty area 23. More specifically, the triangular region is formed in a shape of a revolution on the sliding surface, and the diameter of the inscribed circle of the triangular region is equal to or larger than the maximum diameter of the sliding connection portion 31.

Wherein the inclined rod 21c2 is smoothly transitionally connected with the vertical rod 21c1 of the inner slide rod 21a so that the slide bracket 30 can smoothly slide therethrough.
