Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to mechanical assembly technology, in particular to a tool for fastening, connecting, disassembling or clamping. Background Art

[0002] In the modular assembly process of some products, it is necessary to quickly splice and assemble the modular components that make up the products. Therefore, how to achieve rapid splicing and assembly is an urgent problem to be solved in the production process.

[0003] As the closest solution, the existing product production assembly line technology is mainly used to complete the combined assembly between different components. It requires the corresponding assembly robots to install specific steps to splice the components to be assembled with different structures as required (such as splicing direction, splicing angle, etc.); then use fastening equipment to fix the assembled components in different positions in turn through fasteners.

[0004] The existing assembly process can only assemble different parts with specific matching structures between them, and cannot quickly assemble any two modular components, especially for components that require forward and reverse assembly. It is even more impossible to assemble them quickly, and it is very easy to have the problem of wrong assembly direction.

[0005] Furthermore, in the existing assembly process, when fastening is performed by fasteners, multiple fasteners need to be fastened sequentially, which is inefficient.

[0006] It can be seen that there is an urgent need in the art for a solution that can perform directional and rapid assembly of any modular components. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, a new product modular assembly solution is needed in the art.

[0008] To this end, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a quick locking assembly system that can achieve directional quick splicing and fixation of any module components; and based on this assembly system, a quick locking assembly method is further provided.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the quick locking assembly system provided by the present invention comprises a plurality of assembly components, each of which is arranged on a module component to be assembled; each of which comprises:

[0010] At least two sleeves, wherein the at least two sleeves are embedded on the first assembly side of the module assembly;

[0011] At least two quick-connect components are respectively inserted on the second assembly side of the module component; each quick-connect component can be inserted into the corresponding sleeve on any other module component, and cooperate with the sleeve to form a relative pressing force between the two module components, driving the two module components to be pressed against each other.

[0012] Furthermore, each sleeve is provided with an auxiliary self-adjusting structure, which can cooperate with the quick-connect assembly inserted into the sleeve to automatically adjust the relative position relationship between the two module assemblies.

[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary self-adjusting structure is a circular adjustment hole arranged in the sleeve, and the circular adjustment hole can accommodate the insertion of the quick connection component and cooperate with the inserted quick connection component to automatically adjust the relative position relationship between the two module components.

[0014] Furthermore, when the quick-connect assembly is inserted into the circular adjustment hole, the position relationship of the quick-connect assembly relative to the sleeve is automatically adjusted so that the quick-connect assembly is located at the center of the circular adjustment hole, thereby driving the module assembly in which it is located to move relative to the module assembly in which the sleeve is located, thereby adjusting the relative position relationship between the two.

[0015] Furthermore, in each group of assembling components, at least one pair of sleeves and quick-connect components is provided with an anti-error structure.

[0016] Further, the quick connection assembly includes:

[0017] The insertion column is a hollow cylindrical column, which can be inserted into the sleeve and move along the axial direction of the sleeve; the top end of the insertion column is provided with a plurality of adjustment ball placement holes connected to the inside along its circumference;

[0018] A plurality of adjusting balls, which are respectively arranged in a plurality of adjusting ball placement holes on the placement column and can move along the corresponding adjusting ball placement holes;

[0019] A driving rod, which is inserted into the insertion column, cooperates with the insertion column by screw connection, and can move along the axial direction of the insertion column, synchronously driving a plurality of adjustment balls to synchronously move along the corresponding adjustment ball placement holes to the protruding insertion column, and cooperate with the sleeve;

[0020] The spring is sleeved on the adjusting rod and cooperates with the module assembly where the quick connection assembly is located to form elastic force on the insertion column.

[0021] Furthermore, the adjusting ball placement hole on the insertion column adopts a stepped hole structure that allows the steel ball to be installed from the outside.

[0022] Furthermore, a salt bath nitriding strengthening layer is formed on the surface of the insertion column and / or the driving rod.

[0023] Furthermore, a movement limiting mechanism is arranged between the insertion column and the driving rod, and the movement limiting mechanism comprises a limiting groove arranged inside the insertion column and a limiting block arranged on the driving rod.

[0024] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a quick locking assembly method, which comprises the following steps: synchronously and correspondingly inserting and fixing a plurality of quick-connecting assemblies arranged on a first module assembly to be assembled into a plurality of sleeves arranged on a second module assembly to be assembled; when each quick-connecting assembly is inserted and fixed into a corresponding sleeve, it cooperates with the sleeve to form a relative pressing force between the two module assemblies, driving the two module assemblies to be pressed against each other; at the same time, each quick-connecting assembly also cooperates with the corresponding sleeve to adjust the relative position relationship between the two module assemblies in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the module assembly, thereby performing automatic alignment adjustment.

[0025] Furthermore, in the method, when each quick-connect assembly is inserted into the corresponding sleeve, the driving rod thereon is driven to move forward to drive the adjusting ball in the insertion column, so that the adjusting ball partially protrudes out of the insertion column and cooperates with the sleeve to clamp the insertion column in the sleeve, so that the quick-connect assembly is fixed as a whole in the corresponding sleeve, completing the assembly and fixation between the two module assemblies.

[0026] Furthermore, in the method, by driving the driving rod on each quick-connect assembly to move in the opposite direction, the driving rod can be disengaged from the adjusting ball in the insertion column, and the adjusting ball can be retracted into the insertion column, thereby releasing the clamping state between the insertion column and the sleeve, so that the insertion column can be pulled out of the sleeve, and the assembly state between the two module components can be released.

[0027] The quick locking assembly solution provided by the present invention can realize quick locking splicing and quick disassembly between any module components. The overall solution has high reliability and is easy to implement, and can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0028] Furthermore, this solution sets an error-proof structure so that the module components can only be assembled according to the set matching method, so as to achieve directional assembly between the module components and completely avoid errors in the matching (or combination) direction when assembling two module components.

[0029] Furthermore, during the rapid assembly of module components, this solution can simultaneously perform automatic adjustment and automatic positioning, which can effectively eliminate the processing errors on the module components, and the accumulated tolerance is extremely small, so that the assembled module components maintain a high degree of alignment.

[0043] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below with reference to specific diagrams.

[0044] There is no direct and effective solution in the prior art for the problem of rapid assembly of components of modular structures. Therefore, this example provides a new modular assembly solution for products, which sets a set of assembly components on each component of the modular structure, so that the components of any modular structure can be quickly assembled and locked through the assembly components thereon to form the desired modular product.

[0045] The modular structural components here mainly refer to components with a regular overall shape (such as a cuboid, a cube, etc.) that can be used independently or in combination, such as a box with various functional components housed inside.

[0046] The assembly components mainly include: at least two sleeves and at least two quick-connect components.

[0047] Among them, at least two sleeves are embedded in the first assembly side of the module component; at least two quick-connect components are respectively inserted on the second assembly side of the module component relative to the at least two sleeves; each quick-connect component can be inserted into the corresponding sleeve on any other module component, and cooperate with the sleeve to form a relative clamping force between the two module components, driving the two module components to be pressed against each other.

[0048] Accordingly, when the modular components are assembled quickly, it is only necessary to insert and fix the several quick-connection components provided on the first modular component to be assembled into the several sleeves provided on the second modular component to be assembled. In this process, when each quick-connection component on the first modular component is inserted and fixed into the corresponding sleeve on the second modular component, it cooperates with the sleeve to form a relative pressing force between the two modular components, driving the two modular components to be pressed against each other; at the same time, each quick-connection component also cooperates with the corresponding sleeve to adjust the relative position relationship between the two modular components in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the modular component, and performs automatic alignment adjustment.

[0049] Based on the above scheme, the realization principle and implementation process of the modular assembly scheme of this product are explained below using a cube-structured box as an example.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the modular components involved in this example. As can be seen from the figure, the modular components are a square box body as a whole. The internal structure of the box body is not involved in this example solution and will not be described here.

[0051] against Figure 1The square box body shown in the figure is capable of effectively and quickly assembling the square boxes (such as stacking them). In this example, a set of assembling components is arranged on each square box body 90, and the assembling components are composed of four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 and four quick connection components 10, 20, 30, 40 that cooperate with each other (see further Figure 2 ).

[0052] Since the box body is square, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the box body after splicing and locking, in this example, the four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 in the assembly assembly and the four quick connection assemblies 10, 20, 30, 40 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the box body (such as Figure 1 shown).

[0053] To this end, in this example, each square box body 90 is provided with corresponding through holes 91 at the four corners of the side involved in the splicing according to the requirements of the later assembly; and the four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 are sequentially embedded in the four through holes 91 at the corners on the first assembly side 92 of the square box body 90.

[0054] The first assembly side here is not limited to which specific side on the square box body 90, and can be determined according to actual conditions. In addition, the specific position of the sleeve embedded in the through hole can be determined according to actual needs, as long as it can cooperate with the quick connection components on other box bodies.

[0055] Furthermore, the four quick-connect components 10, 20, 30, 40 in this example are sequentially inserted into the four through holes 91 on the second assembly side 93 of the box body relative to the four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80, and extend out of the surface of the second assembly side.

[0056] The second assembly side in this example is the side opposite to the first assembly side, that is, the four quick-connect components 10, 20, 30, 40 and the four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 are respectively arranged in the four through holes opposite to each other, so that the four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 are respectively embedded in one end of the four through holes facing the first assembly side 91, and the four quick-connect components 10, 20, 30, 40 are respectively inserted in the other end facing the second assembly side 93.

[0057] See also Figure 2When two box bodies of the same arrangement are to be spliced, the assembleable side surface of the first box body on which the four quick-connect components are inserted is spliced ​​relative to the assembleable side surface of the second box body on which the four sleeves are embedded, so that the four quick-connect components on the first box body are respectively inserted into the corresponding four sleeves on the second box body, and respectively cooperate with the sleeves to form a relative pressing force between the two box bodies, driving the two box bodies to be pressed against each other; at the same time, the four quick-connect components inserted into the four sleeves respectively form a locking structure with the corresponding sleeves to fix the two box bodies together, thereby completing the quick splicing and locking between the two box bodies.

[0058] The four sleeves in this example are identical in structure, and the four quick-connection assemblies are also substantially identical in structure. To further illustrate this solution, the sleeve 50 and the quick-connection assembly 10 are used as examples to specifically illustrate the assembly assembly that can be quickly spliced ​​and locked in this example.

[0059] See also Figure 3 and 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sleeve 50 in this example. As can be seen from the figure, the axial cross section of the sleeve 50 is "T"-shaped, and it mainly includes a cylindrical body 51 and a circular convex edge 52 extending from the top of the cylindrical body 51 to the periphery.

[0060] The cylindrical body 51 is provided with a circular adjustment hole 53 along its central axis to form an auxiliary self-adjusting structure. The circular adjustment hole 53 is a circular through hole distributed along the center line of the body 51. The inner diameter of the circular through hole matches the outer diameter of the insertion column in the quick connection assembly, and can accommodate the insertion column, and automatically adjust the relative position relationship between the two parts to be fastened in cooperation with the inserted insertion column and a number of adjustment balls placed therein.

[0061] On this basis, the present invention further provides an arc surface structure 54 on the inner side of the top opening of the circular adjustment hole 53, so as to cooperate with a plurality of adjustment balls in the insertion column, clamp the insertion column in the sleeve, and then complete the clamping and locking between the sleeve and the quick connection assembly (such as Figure 6 shown).

[0062] When used, the sleeve 50 constructed in this way is embedded in the through hole 91 at the corresponding corner of the box body through the annular convex edge 52 thereon.

[0063] For the convenience of production and fixation, the sleeve 50 in this example is fixedly installed in the corresponding through hole 91 at the corner of the box body by screw connection. As an example, in this example, the opening of the corresponding through hole 91 at the corner of the box body is designed as a countersunk structure, and a corresponding internal thread is provided on the inner side surface, and a matching external thread is provided on the side surface of the sleeve 50, and a corresponding notch 55 is opened at the top end of the sleeve 50, so as to drive the screw connection between the sleeve 50 and the corresponding through hole 91 at the corner of the box body by a tool.

[0064] See also Figure 5 The quick-connect assembly 10 in this solution is mainly composed of an insertion column 110, a plurality of adjustment balls 120, a driving rod 130 and a spring 140 that cooperate with each other.

[0065] In order to match the above-mentioned sleeve 50 , the insertion column 110 in this solution is cylindrical as a whole. The size of the cylindrical insertion column 110 matches the circular adjustment hole 53 on the sleeve and can move axially along the circular adjustment hole 53 .

[0066] The cylindrical insertion column 110 has a driving rod placement hole 111 along its axis. The driving rod placement hole 111 is a circular through hole, and its axis is colinear with the axis of the insertion column 110. The circular through hole 111 cooperates with the driving rod 130 and can accommodate the driving rod 130. At the same time, a circular step structure is set at the bottom of the driving rod placement hole 111 to cooperate with the driving rod 130.

[0067] The bottom end of the placement column 110 is provided with a plurality of adjustment ball placement holes 112 connected to the internal drive rod placement hole 111 along its circumference. These adjustment ball placement holes 112 are distributed on the same plane and cooperate with the adjustment balls 120 to allow one adjustment ball 120 to move therein along the extension direction of the hole until it partially protrudes out of the cylindrical placement column 110. The number of the adjustment ball placement holes 112 can be determined according to actual needs.

[0068] See also Figure 7 The adjusting ball seating hole 112 in this example preferably has a stepped hole structure, so that the adjusting ball 120 can be directly installed in the seating hole 112 from the outside of the mounting column 110. At the same time, after the adjusting ball 120 is installed, a tool is used from the outside to squeeze the opening of the seating hole to achieve a small amount of deformation of the outermost part of the hole, so as to confine the adjusting ball 120 in the seating hole 112, and further achieve that the adjusting ball can move freely in the seating hole 112 but will not fall out.

[0069] Based on the adjusting ball seating hole 112 of the above-mentioned structure, this example can innovatively realize that the adjusting steel ball is directly installed into the corresponding seating hole from the outside through the opening of the seating hole 112 on the mounting column 110, abandoning the conventional structure in the prior art that needs to be installed from the inside of the mounting column 110 (that is, installed one by one in sequence through the driving rod seating hole 111 set inside the mounting column 110), which can greatly reduce the volume of the entire mounting column 110, making its structure more compact and reliable.

[0070] In addition, the present solution innovatively adopts a stepped hole structure for the adjusting ball seating hole. When assembling the adjusting ball 120, it is only necessary to directly install it into the corresponding seating hole from the outside, and at the same time use a tool to squeeze the seating hole from the outside to achieve a small amount of deformation of the outermost part of the hole, so that the adjusting ball can be freely moved and confined in the seating hole. Compared with the traditional method of installing the adjusting balls one by one from the driving rod seating hole 111 set inside the mounting column 110, the assembly efficiency of the adjusting ball 120 is greatly improved.

[0071] The adjusting rod 130 in this solution is inserted into the driving rod seating hole 111 in the insertion column 110 as a driving rod, and can move axially along the insertion column 110, and synchronously drive all the adjusting balls 120 in the insertion column 110 to move synchronously along the corresponding adjusting ball seating holes until they protrude from the insertion column 110 so as to contact the circular adjusting hole 53 in the sleeve 50.

[0072] As can be seen from the figure, in this example, the adjusting rod 130 is cylindrical in shape as a whole, and its size matches the placement hole 111 on the insertion column 110. The top of the adjusting rod 130 is provided with a fixing nut 131 for placing the adjusting rod 130, and the top of the adjusting rod 130 is screwed with the fixing nut 131 so as to be installed and fixed in the through hole 91 of the box body; at the same time, the end surface of the top of the adjusting rod 130 is provided with a corresponding adjusting hole 131 for driving the adjusting rod 130, and the adjusting hole 131 is an inner countersunk structure, which is convenient for external tools to operate the adjusting rod 130.

[0073] At the same time, the rod body of the adjusting rod 130 is threadedly engaged with the placement hole 111 on the placement column 110, so that precise movement along the axial direction of the placement column 110 can be achieved through rotation.

[0074] The bottom end of the adjusting rod 130 is a circular step structure 133, which is used to synchronously drive a plurality of adjusting balls 130, so that a plurality of adjusting balls 120 in the insertion column 110 can synchronously expand (move) outward to abut against the inner wall of the sleeve 50 to complete the centering adjustment and clamping.

[0075] The spring 140 in this solution is integrally sleeved on the adjustment rod 130 and placed on the upper part of the insertion column 110. One end of the spring 140 abuts against the end of the top of the insertion column 110, and the other end abuts against the placement step 94 in the through hole when the quick connection assembly 10 is placed in the box body through hole, thereby being able to always generate pressure on the insertion column 110 facing the sleeve during the process of the quick connection assembly 10 and the sleeve being locked. The spring 140 can effectively fix the entire quick connection assembly to prevent shaking and can make the entire quick connection assembly automatically bounce into the sleeve.

[0076] This example innovatively places the spring 140 on the outside of the adjustment rod 130, and abandons the solution of sleeve-arranging the spring 140 on the insertion column 110, which can greatly reduce the volume of the entire quick connection assembly 10. Compared with the solution of sleeve-arranging the spring 140 on the insertion column 110, this solution can reduce the volume by 50%, thereby making the structure of the entire quick connection assembly 10 more compact and reliable, and at the same time can greatly reduce the space occupied when in use, with strong practicality and wide application.

[0077] On the basis of the above-mentioned quick-connect assembly 10 solution, this example further provides a movement limiting mechanism between the insertion column 110 and the adjustment rod 130 to prevent the adjustment rod 130 from excessively moving relative to the insertion column 110 and detaching from the insertion column 110 .

[0078] The movable limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove 113 provided on the inner wall of the placement hole 111 in the placement column 110 and an elastic limiting block 134 provided on the adjustment rod 130. The elastic limiting block 134 provided on the adjustment rod 130 can perform a certain amount of elastic contraction deformation under external pressure, and can immediately recover when the pressure disappears.

[0079] Thus, in this example, the earless circlip is preferably used as the elastic limit block 134 and is arranged on the adjustment rod 130, so as to ensure the reliability of the limit. In this way, when the adjustment rod 130 is inserted into the insertion column 110 as a whole, the earless circlip 134 on it is compressed and contracted to match the inner diameter of the placement hole on the insertion column 110, so that the adjustment rod 130 can move freely in the insertion column 110. When the earless circlip 134 on the adjustment rod 130 moves to the position of the limit groove 113 in the insertion column 110 along with the drive rod 130, the earless circlip 134 is restored and stuck in the limit groove 113 to limit the adjustment rod 130 from further moving relative to the insertion column 110.

[0080] In addition, the specific location of the limiting groove 113 and the specific location of the earless retaining ring 134 on the adjusting rod 130 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0081] The quick-connect assembly 10 of such structure is fixed in the corresponding through hole 91 at the upper corner of the box body relative to the sleeve 50 through the fixing nut 131 and the spring 140.

[0082] As an example, in this embodiment, a corresponding stopper 94 (such as Figure 2 As shown), the limit block 94 is in an annular shape as a whole, and the through hole in the middle thereof can only allow the adjustment rod 130 in the quick connection assembly 10 to pass through.

[0083] Accordingly, when installing the quick-connect assembly 10, first assemble the adjusting rod 130 with other components except the nut 131, and insert the adjusting rod 130 as a whole into the through hole 91 from one end of the through hole, and make the top end of the adjusting rod 130 pass through the through hole in the limit block 94 in the through hole 91; install the nut 131 into the through hole 91 from the other end of the through hole 91, and screw it with the top end of the adjusting rod 130 passing through the limit block 94, and at the same time make the spring 140 sleeved on the adjusting rod 130 in a pre-stressed state, so that one end of the spring 140 sleeved on the adjusting rod 130 abuts against the limit block 94, and the other end abuts against the installation column 110; in this way, the nuts 131 and spring 140 distributed on both sides of the limit block 94 respectively form a limit fit with the limit block 94, so that the quick-connect assembly 10 can be reliably placed in the through hole 91.

[0084] The screw connection operation between the adjusting rod 130 and the nut 131 in the through hole 91 can be completed by using corresponding tools.

[0085] Based on the specific scheme of the sleeve 50 and the quick-connection assembly 10 given above, in this example, four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 and four quick-connection assemblies 10, 20, 30, 40 are respectively installed in the through holes at the four corners of each box body to be assembled, so that four sleeves 50, 60, 70, 80 are embedded in the first spliceable side surface 92 of each box body, and four quick-connection assemblies 10, 20, 30, 40 are inserted on the second spliceable side surface 93 opposite thereto.

[0086] When the box body provided with the above-mentioned assembly components is to be quickly assembled, it only needs to be simply docked and locked (such as Figure 8 and 9 shown).

[0087] Step 1, docking:

[0088] See also Figure 8, align the four quick-connection components on the first box body 200 to be spliced ​​with the four sleeves on the second box body 300 to be spliced ​​manually or automatically, and insert them into the four sleeves on the second box body 300; when inserting, the insertion column in each quick-connection component on the first box body 200 can be inserted into the circular adjustment hole of the corresponding sleeve on the second box body 300 together with the adjustment ball therein under the elastic force of the corresponding spring, thereby completing the preliminary docking between the two box bodies to be spliced. Since the box bodies used for splicing all use the same solution to set the assembly components, the positions between the sleeves and quick-connection components on different box bodies are corresponding.

[0089] Step 2, tighten:

[0090] The locking tool is used to drive the driving rods in the corresponding four quick-connecting assemblies on the first box body 200 through the four sleeves on the back side of the first box body 200 (the insertion columns in these four quick-connecting assemblies are inserted into the corresponding four sleeves on the second box body 300), so that the driving rods move in the corresponding insertion columns to drive the adjusting balls in the insertion columns, so that the adjusting balls protrude from the insertion columns and cooperate with the circular adjusting holes of the sleeves, and the quick-connecting assemblies are clamped in the sleeves, thereby forming a relative pressing force between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300, driving the two box bodies to be pressed against each other; at the same time, each quick-connecting assembly also cooperates with the corresponding sleeve to adjust the relative position relationship between the two box bodies in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the box body, and perform automatic alignment adjustment (such as Fig. 9 shown).

[0091] Specifically, when the locking tool passes through the four sleeves on the back of the first box body 200 to drive the driving rods in the corresponding four quick-connect assemblies on the first box body 200, the driving rod is driven to rotate in the insertion column, and then the adjusting ball moves along the axis in the insertion column facing the bottom of the insertion column.

[0092] Since the adjusting ball is confined in the insertion column at this time, it will cooperate with the adjusting rod. Driven by the adjusting rod, all the adjusting balls will move synchronously along the corresponding adjusting ball installation holes toward the side walls of the circular adjusting holes on the sleeve with the same moving stroke until the protruding insertion column abuts against the side walls of the circular adjusting holes.

[0093] At this time, if there is a deviation in the relative position between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300, there will also be a deviation in the position relationship between the adjustment ball in each quick-connect assembly on the first box body 200 and the side wall of the circular adjustment hole of each sleeve on the second box body 300. Driven by the synchronous and co-travel of the adjustment rod, the adjustment ball will be driven to cooperate with the side wall of the circular adjustment hole, thereby adjusting the relative position between the adjustment ball and the side wall of the circular adjustment hole, and then the sleeve drives the second box body 300 to move in the deviation direction relative to the first box body 200, and / or the installation column drives the first box body 200 to move in the deviation direction relative to the second box body 300. When the insertion column is exactly located in the center of the circular adjustment hole, all the adjustment balls have the same positional relationship relative to the side walls of the circular adjustment hole, and maintain synchronous abutment with the side walls of the circular adjustment hole, thereby limiting and guiding the further movement of the insertion column in the circular adjustment hole on the sleeve; at this time, the relative position deviation between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 is eliminated, so that the alignment adjustment between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 is automatically completed.

[0094] When the adjusting balls in each quick-connect assembly are driven by the adjusting rod to maintain synchronous abutment with the side walls of the circular adjusting hole, the protruding adjusting balls will abut and cooperate with the arc surface structure at the top opening of the circular adjusting hole to form a clamping structure, so that the insertion column is clamped in the corresponding sleeve, thereby realizing the locking between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300.

[0095] Finally, if it is necessary to release the spliced ​​fastening state between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300, it is only necessary to use a locking tool to pass through the four sleeves on the back of the first box body 200 to drive the driving rods in the corresponding four quick-connect assemblies on the first box body 200, so that the driving rods move in the corresponding insertion columns in the reverse direction to disengage the adjusting balls in the insertion columns, thereby releasing the driving state of the adjusting balls.

[0096] At the same time, when the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 are assembled based on this solution, the driving rods in the four quick-connection assemblies on the box bodies can be synchronously driven by automatic equipment, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire equipment.

[0097] See also Figure 10-12 In view of the need to assemble different sleeves and quick-connect components on each box body, three assembly tools are configured in this example to complete the assembly of the sleeves and quick-connect components on the box body and to complete the extraction of the box body.

[0098] in Fig.10 The No. 1 assembly tool 400 shown is used to complete the rapid assembly of the sleeve on the box body. The specific structural form of the No. 1 assembly tool 400 can be determined according to actual needs, as long as it can quickly and conveniently complete the rapid assembly of the sleeve on the box body.

[0099] Fig.11 The No. 2 matching tool 500 is used to install the quick-connect assembly into the box body. The No. 2 matching tool 500 mainly includes a rod body 510, which can be inserted into the through hole 91 or through the through hole in the sleeve. The two ends of the rod body 410 are respectively provided with corresponding driving components 520 and 530, and the driving components 520 or 530 can cooperate with the nut or adjustment rod on the quick-connect assembly. Further, in this example, a corresponding handle 540 is provided at one end of the rod body 410 to improve the convenience of operation.

[0100] Fig.12 The No. 3 matching tool 600 shown is used to lift the box body and improve the convenience of the box body splicing operation.

[0101] As can be seen from the figure, the No. 3 fitting tool 600 mainly includes a base plate 610, a pair of connecting pins 620, 630 are arranged at the diagonal positions of the base plate, and the pair of connecting pins 620, 630 correspond to the sleeves arranged at any diagonal positions on the box body; at the same time, each connecting pin can be inserted into the corresponding sleeve, and can be quickly locked or quickly released. The specific structure of the connecting pins 620, 630 can be determined according to actual needs, such as the existing common locking pin structure, but it is not limited to this.

[0102] For ease of use, this example further provides a pair of handles 640 on the base plate 610, so as to facilitate extraction of the assembled box bodies or a single box body.

[0103] In view of the modular assembly scheme given in the above example, this example also provides a further improvement scheme. This improvement scheme adds an error-proofing structure to the assembly components placed on the box body, so that any box bodies can only be spliced ​​in one matching way, avoiding errors in the splicing direction between the box bodies, ensuring the reliability and correctness of the splicing, and meeting the application needs with specific requirements for the splicing direction between the box bodies.

[0104] This example improves the assembly components placed on the box body, thereby avoiding the impact on the box body structure and achieving error prevention. Since the assembly components on each box body include four pairs of relatively placed quick-connect components and sleeves, this example will add corresponding error prevention structures to the two pairs of quick-connect components and sleeves on the same side of the box body.

[0105] The specific structure of the error-proofing structure can be determined according to actual needs, as long as the two boxes to be assembled can only be assembled in one direction, assembly errors can be effectively avoided. It is particularly suitable for products with positive and negative pole connection requirements, and can avoid product splicing errors and product damage.

[0106] As an example, the error-proofing structure here is mainly composed of sleeves of different sizes and insertion columns in the quick-connect assembly. Through the cooperation between sleeves of different sizes and insertion columns, two boxes to be assembled can only be assembled in one direction.

[0107] As can be seen from the above, the modular assembly solution provided in this example can be used to assemble various modular components simply and quickly, and can achieve rapid self-alignment. When applied, the production and use efficiency of such products is greatly improved, while the practicality of such products is greatly improved and the use cost is reduced.
