In addition, the two first fasteners CA1 are respectively located above the assembly notch EA1 on the left side of the convex block 1164 of the corresponding convex-type fastened component 116.

Afterwards, the storage layer 120 continues to move along the first assembly direction L2. That is, the two first fasteners CA1 move downward to the assembly notch EA1 until the two first fasteners CA1 are fastened to the assembly notch EA1 on the left side of the convex block 1164 of the convex-type fastened component 116, as shown in FIG. 10B, in order to fix the first assembly component 124 in the storage layer 120 to the concave square tube 112 in the post column 110.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4C of the present disclosure, along a first assembly direction L2, the inclination angle AT of the convex-type fastened component 116 can provide an inclined opening. Therefore, when the two first fasteners CA1 move downwards to the assembly notch EA1, the first fastener CA1 can be utilized to be inserted into and fastened on the assembly notch EA1 by the convex block 1164.

Furthermore, in correspondence with the aforementioned inclination angle AT, the first fastener CA1 itself has an inclination (such as the inclination plane SA1 shown in FIG. 7A), and the inclination structure of the first fastener CA1 is snapped into the convex-type fastened component 116 with the inclination angle AT for matching and fastening to increase stability.

In addition, the setting distance DA as shown in FIG. 7 allows reserving a certain distance for the first assembly component 124 in FIG. 10A, and the portion of the second cross member 122B can be close to or fit against a wall surface (such as the first plate 112A) of the concave square tube 112.

In the meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 11A, the two second fasteners CA2 in the second assembly component 126 move toward the concave plate KA of the concave square tube 112. Accordingly, the two second fasteners CA2 gradually approach the position of the two convex-type fastened components 116, until the two second fasteners CA2 are located within the concave plate KA. In addition, the two second fasteners CA2 are respectively located above the assembly notch EA1 on the left side of the convex block 1164 of the corresponding convex-type fastened component 116.

Afterwards, the storage layer 120 continues to move along the first assembly direction L2. That is, the two second fasteners CA2 move downward to the assembly notch EA1 until the two second fasteners CA2 are fastened to the assembly notch EA1 on the left side of the convex block 1164 of the convex-type fastened component 116, as shown in FIG. 11B, in order to fix the second assembly component 126 in the storage layer 120 to the concave square tube 112 in the post column 110.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4C of the present disclosure, along a first assembly direction L2, the inclination angle AT of the convex-type fastened component 116 can provide an inclined opening. Therefore, when the two second fasteners CA2 move downwards to the assembly notch EA1, the second fastener CA2 can be utilized to be inserted into and fastened on the assembly notch EA1 by the convex block 1164.

Furthermore, in correspondence with the aforementioned inclination angle AT, the second fastener CA2 itself has an inclination, and the inclination structure of the second fastener CA2 is snapped into the convex-type fastened component 116 with the inclination angle AT for matching and fastening to increase stability.

As such, by fastening the fastener of the storage layer 120 of the present disclosure (such as the first fastener CA1 and the second fastener CA2) to the assembly notch EA1 of the convex-type fastened component 116, the storage layers 120 can be fixed between these four post columns 110, as shown in FIG. 1. Afterwards, the laminate 130 includes a laminate body 132 and four notch portions 134. The notch portions 134 are notches at the four corners of the laminate body 132. When the laminate 130 is placed on the storage layer 120, the four notches 134 will engage with the post columns 110, so that the laminates 130 are fixed between these post columns 110.

Afterwards, the storage layers 120 and the laminates 130 are sequentially arranged between the post columns 110 along the stacking direction L1, in order to form the concave square tube storage shelf 100 as shown in FIG. 1.

In addition, since these convex-type fastened components 116 are provided at different positions within the concave plate KA in the concave square tube 112, the storage layer 120 is thus moved to release the fastening relationship of the fasteners of the storage layer 120 (such as the first fastener CA1 and the second fastener CA2) and the assembly notch EA1 of the convex-type fastened component 116. In addition, the fasteners of the storage layer 120 (such as the first fastener CA1 and the second fastener CA2) can be fastened to the assembly notch EA1 of the convex-type fastened component 116 at different positions based on actual situations to adjust and lift the position of the storage layer 120.

FIG. 12 is a three-dimensional diagram of another embodiment of a concave square tube storage shelf according to the present disclosure. FIG. 13 is a three-dimensional diagram of an embodiment of fastening the convex-type fastened components in the post column according to the present disclosure. Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 12 first. The difference between the concave square tube storage shelf 200 in FIG. 12 and the concave square tube storage shelf 100 in FIG. 1 is that along a transverse direction LB, the concave square tube storage shelf 200 has a two-row structure, and the transverse direction LB is perpendicular to the lifting direction LA.

As shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 3, an assembly notch EA1, EA2 is provided on both sides of the convex block 1164 of the convex-type fastened component 116 respectively, so that the left and right sides of the same concave square tube 112 can be assembled with one storage layer 120 respectively. That is, the adjacent storage layers 120 can share a concave square tube 112 for aesthetic appeal and cost savings.

Based on the foregoing, the concave square tube storage shelf disclosed in the present disclosure has a simple and relatively stable assembly structure, to improve the overall convenience of use.

Furthermore, the present disclosure changes the square tube into a concave square tube to increase the structural strength.

In addition, along a first assembly direction, the inclination angle of the convex-type fastened component can provide an inclined opening, which facilitates the fastener to be inserted into and fastened on the assembly notch by the convex block.

Furthermore, in correspondence with the aforementioned inclination angle, the inclination structure of the fastener is snapped into the convex-type fastened component with the inclination angle for matching and fastening to increase stability.

In addition, an assembly notch is provided on both sides of the convex-type fastened component respectively according to one embodiment, so that the left and right sides of the same concave square tube can be assembled with a storage layer respectively. That is, the adjacent storage layers can share a concave square tube for aesthetic appeal and cost savings.

Although the disclosure has been disclosed in the form of embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Anyone with general knowledge in the field of technology may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and therefore the scope of protection of the disclosure shall be subject to the scope of the patent application attached hereto.
