RACK ASSEMBLY

A rack assembly includes at least four columns, a top frame module and a bottom frame module. The at least four columns are connected between the top and bottom frame modules. The rack assembly can be easily disassembled for reducing the room required in transportation, and the rack assembly can be easily assembled in offices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring toFIGS. 1 and 2, the rack assembly of the present invention comprises four columns10, a top frame module20and a bottom frame module30, so as to reduce the room required when in transportation and the ability for management of load is also increased.

As shown inFIGS. 2 to 5, the top frame module20comprises a top frame21, a top connection unit22and at least four top fixing slots23. The top connection unit22has multiple top connection parts221which are connected to the inside of the top frame21. The at least four top fixing slots23each are formed by connections of the top frame21and the top connection parts221, and the four columns10have their respective four first ends inserted into the at least four top fixing slots23. Each of the four columns10and each of the at least four top fixing slots23are secured by at least one top locking unit T1so as to secure the relative position between the column10and the top fixing slot23. The top frame21has a first top U-frame213, a second top U-frame214, a first top connection plate215and a second top connection plate216. The first top connection plate215connects the first top U-frame213to one end of the second top U-frame214. The second top connection plate216connects the first top U-frame213to the other end of the second top U-frame214. By using the top connection parts221, the first top connection plate215and the second top connection plate216, the top frame module20can support more load than the conventional rack assemblies.

As shown inFIGS. 4 to 8, the bottom frame module30comprises a bottom frame31, a bottom connection unit32and at least four bottom fixing slots33. The bottom connection unit32is connected to the bottom frame31and comprises multiple bottom connection parts321. The at least four bottom fixing slots33are formed by connections of the bottom frame31and the bottom connection parts321. The four columns10have their respective four second ends inserted into the at least four bottom fixing slots33. Each of the four columns10and each of the at least four bottom fixing slots33are secured by at least one bottom locking unit T2. The bottom frame31has a first bottom U-frame313, a second bottom U-frame314, a first bottom connection plate315and a second bottom connection plate316. The first bottom connection plate315connects the bottom top U-frame313to one end of the second bottom U-frame314. The second bottom connection plate316connects the bottom top U-frame313to the other end of the second bottom U-frame314. By using the bottom connection parts321, the first bottom connection plate315and the second bottom connection plate316, the bottom frame module30can support more load than the conventional rack assemblies.

As shown inFIGS. 3 to 5, each of the top connection parts221has at least one top notch2211and the top frame21has at least four top corners211which are located corresponding to the at least four notches2211so as to form the at least four top fixing slots23. The top frame21and the top connection part221are in contact with each other in face-face manner so that the load is supported by the top locking units T1, the top frame21and the top connection part221.

As shown inFIG. 7, each of the bottom connection parts321has at least one bottom notch3211and the bottom frame31has at least four bottom corners311which are located corresponding to the at least four bottom notches3211so as to form the at least four bottom fixing slots33. The bottom frame31and the bottom connection part321are in contact with each other in face-face manner so that the load is supported by the bottom locking units T2, the bottom frame31and the bottom connection part321.

As shown inFIGS. 5 to 7, the top frame21has a top bent wall212extending downward from the inside thereof and the bottom frame31has a bottom bent wall312extending upward from an inside thereof. The top and bottom bent walls212,312reinforce the connection between the top connection parts221and the top frame21, and between the bottom connection parts321and the bottom frame31.

As shown inFIGS. 4 to 9, each of the top connection parts221has a top locking plate2212and each of the bottom connection parts321has a bottom locking plate3212which is located corresponding to the top locking plate2212so as to be connected to four links40. The links40are used to position the electric devices in the rack assembly. Each of the top locking plate2212and the bottom locking plate3212has an elongate hole so that the links40can be fixed at different positions along the elongate holes to adapt the sizes of the electric devices.

FIGS. 9 and 10show that the top locking unit T1comprises a male bolt and a female bolt, the male bolt and the female bolt respectively extend through the top frame21, the top connection part221and the column10to connect the top frame21, the top connection part221and the column10. Similarly, the bottom locking unit T2comprises a male bolt and a female bolt, the male bolt and the female bolt respectively extend through the bottom frame31, the bottom connection part321and the column10to position the bottom frame31, the bottom connection part321and the column10.

As shown inFIGS. 6 and 7, the bottom frame31is connected with a roller unit50by which the rack assembly is moved easily.

The rack assembly is easily assembled and disassembled, and the room required for transportation and storage is reduced. The strength of the rack assembly is reinforced to accept more electric devices.
