A commodity shelving system comprising pillars, shelves and a fixing mechanism for fixing the shelves to the pillars, wherein the fixing mechanism comprises a plurality of pillar clamps and locking pieces, the locking pieces having an amount corresponding to that of the pillar clamps;
- and the locking pieces are arranged at corners of the shelves;
- wherein each of the pillar clamps comprises a left fastener and a right fastener mutually coupleable by a snap fit structure and respectively provided with a semicircular groove matched with the pillar and a protruded portion arranged at an outside of an end edge of the semicircular groove;
- and each of the locking pieces is provided with a clamping portion for coupling with the protruded portions of the pillar clamp;
- wherein the protruded portion of the left fastener and the protruded portion of the right fastener respectively comprise a tongue-shaped piece having its bottom part fixedly connected with a main body of the respective one of the left and right fasteners and its upper part separated from the main body of the respective one of the left and right fasteners by a predefined distance;
- wherein the clamping portion of the locking piece comprises a slot for matching with each of the tongue-shaped pieces;
- wherein an outer side wall of the slot faced toward the pillar clamp is an arc-shaped side wall;
- and an inner surface of the arc-shaped side wall is matched with outer surfaces of the semicircular grooves of the left fastener and the right fastener;
- and a thickness of the arc-shaped side wall is slightly smaller than the predefined distance between the upper part of the tongue-shaped piece and the main body of the respective one of the left and right fasteners;
- a notch with its opening faced downwardly is arranged in a middle part of the arc-shaped side wall, so as to enable the arc-shaped side wall to be inserted into and engaged between the left and right fasteners and respective tongue-shaped pieces via the notch;
- and also enable the tongue-shaped pieces of the left fastener and the right fastener to be received and enclosed by the slot.
