(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a rack assembly, and more particularly, to a rack assembly that is composed of various parts and has strength for heavy load.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
The conventional racks are used for managing servos and computers so as to store the data and be connected with computers and electronic equipments of different departments needs.
The conventional racks are manufactured by the manufacturing factories and each rack is manufactured by assembling and welding processes. The finished racks are then sent to the users' offices. However, significant space is required when transporting the racks to the users' offices. When the doors of the offices are small, the racks are difficult to be easily installed in the offices.
The conventional assembled racks use adapting connectors at the corners of the racks, however, stress are concentrated at these adapting connectors at the corners so that the connection can be easily damaged and cannot used for heavy load.
The present invention intends to provide a rack assembly which can be assembled in the offices and the strength is improved to bear heavy load.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a rack assembly and comprises at least four columns, a top frame module and a bottom frame module. The top frame module comprises a top frame, a top connection unit connected to the top frame, and at least four top fixing slots. The top connection unit comprises multiple top connection parts. The at least four top fixing slots are formed by connections of the top frame and the top connection parts. The bottom frame module comprises a bottom frame, a bottom connection unit connected to the bottom frame, and at least four bottom fixing slots. The bottom connection unit has multiple bottom connection parts. The at least four bottom fixing slots are formed by connections of the bottom frame and the bottom connection parts. The at least four columns are connected between the top and bottom frame modules by locking units. The rack assembly can be easily disassembled for reducing the room required in transportation, and the rack assembly can be easily assembled in offices.
Preferably, each of the top connection parts has at least one top notch and the top frame has at least four top corners which are located corresponding to the at least four notches so as to form the at least four top fixing slots.
Preferably, each of the bottom connection parts has at least one bottom notch and the bottom frame has at least four bottom corners which are located corresponding to the at least four bottom notches so as to form the at least four bottom fixing slots.
Preferably, each of the top connection parts has a top locking plate and each of the bottom connection parts has a bottom locking plate which is located corresponding to the top locking plate so as to be connected links.
Preferably, each of the top locking plate and the bottom locking plate has an elongate hole for convenience of adjustment.
Preferably, the top frame has a top bent wall extending downward from the inside thereof and the bottom frame has a bottom bent wall extending upward from the inside thereof to reinforce the strength.
Preferably, the top frame and the top connection part are in contact with each other in face-face manner and the bottom frame and the bottom connection part are in contact with each other in face-face manner.
Preferably, the top locking unit comprises a male bolt and a female bolt, the male bolt and the female bolt respectively extend through the top frame, the top connection part and the column. The bottom locking unit comprises a male bolt and a female bolt, the male bolt and the female bolt respectively extend through the bottom frame, the bottom connection part and the column.
Preferably, the bottom frame is connected with a roller unit.
Preferably, the top frame has a first top U-frame, a second top U-frame, a first top connection plate and a second top connection plate. The first top connection plate connects the first top U-frame to one end of the second top U-frame. The second top connection plate connects the first top U-frame to the other end of the second top U-frame. The bottom frame has a first bottom U-frame, a second bottom U-frame, a first bottom connection plate and a second bottom connection plate. The first bottom connection plate connects the bottom top U-frame to one end of the second bottom U-frame. The second bottom connection plate connects the bottom top U-frame to the other end of the second bottom U-frame.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a rack assembly without using adapting connectors, and while has strength.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
