Detailed Implementation

[0028] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] To provide the public with a better understanding of this invention, certain specific details are described in detail below. However, those skilled in the art will fully understand this invention even without these detailed descriptions.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 The detachable connector shown includes a connector body 1 and a connector body 2 that cooperate with each other. A first arc-shaped surface 21 is provided on the edge of the connector body 1, and first flanges 22 are provided on both sides of the first arc-shaped surface 21. The length of the first flanges 22 is less than the length of the first arc-shaped surface 21. The first flanges 22 fix the connector body 1 to the sheet material, preventing the connector body 1 from detaching from the sheet material. A second arc-shaped surface 23 is provided on the edge of the connector body 2, and a second flange 24 is provided on the side of the second arc-shaped surface 23. The second flanges 24 facilitate fixing the connector body 2 to the sheet material. To further fix the connector body 1 and connector body 2 to the sheet material respectively, fixing holes 3 are provided on both sides of the connector body 1 and connector body 2. Screws are passed through the fixing holes 3 to fix the connector body 1 and connector body 2 to the corresponding sheet material, preventing the connector body 1 and connector body 2 from detaching from the corresponding sheet material after installation.

[0032] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, two clamping blocks 4 are provided on the opposite side of the connector body 1 and connector body 2. A protrusion 5 is provided on the opposite side of the two clamping blocks 4. Two grooves 10 are provided on the connector body 2 to cooperate with the clamping blocks 4. A cavity 6 is provided between the two grooves 10. Two clamping blocks 7 are provided in the cavity 6. As a technical solution, the two clamping blocks 7 are U-shaped, and the U-shaped openings of the two U-shaped clamping blocks 7 are arranged opposite each other. A protrusion 8 is provided on the bottom 11 surface of the clamping block 7. The two protrusions 8 are arranged opposite each other. When the connector body 1 and connector body 2 are engaged, the two protrusions 8 engage with the two protrusions 5 respectively, thereby fixing the connector body 1 and connector body 2.

[0033] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, a reinforcing block 16 is provided on the second connector body 2, and a groove 17 that mates with the reinforcing block 16 is provided on the first connector body 1. When the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 2 are engaged, the reinforcing block 16 extends into the groove 17 to enhance the connection strength between the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 2, resulting in a good connection effect. To prevent the reinforcing block 16 from swinging in the groove 17, a limiting strip 18 is provided on the reinforcing block 16, and a limiting groove 19 that mates with the limiting strip 18 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 17. This allows the reinforcing block 16 to fit more tightly with the groove 17, preventing the first connector body 1 and the second connector body 2 from shifting left or right after connection.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an adjusting component is provided between the two clamping blocks 7 to adjust their relative position. The adjusting component includes an elastic element 9 positioned between the two clamping blocks 7, with the elastic element 9 located on both sides of the U-shaped end of each clamping block 7. For example, a groove 14 is provided at one U-shaped end of the clamping block 7, one end of the elastic element 9 is positioned within the groove 14, and the other end of the elastic element 9 abuts against the other U-shaped end 15 of the opposite clamping block 7. Thus, the two elastic elements 9 can push the two U-shaped clamping blocks 7 in opposite directions, causing the protrusion 8 on clamping block 7 to engage with the protrusion 5 on clamping block 4, thereby fixing the connecting body 1 and connecting body 2. Through the cooperation of clamping blocks 1, 2, and the elastic element, the connecting body 1 and connecting body 2 are installed flexibly with good locking effect. The surfaces of protrusions 8 and 5 can also be serrated to achieve the engaging effect. In this embodiment, to facilitate the separation of protrusion 5 and protrusion 8 during disassembly, teeth 12 are provided at the opposite position of the U-shaped portion on the outer side of the groove 14, and through holes 13 are provided on the connector body 2 at the position opposite to the teeth 12. Thus, when it is necessary to separate protrusion 8 from protrusion 5, a gear is simply inserted into the through hole 13, meshing with the teeth 12. Then, rotating the gear causes the two U-shaped locking blocks 7 to move towards each other, thereby separating protrusion 8 from protrusion 5, and consequently separating connector body 1 and connector body 2, facilitating the disassembly of the furniture panel. The addition of an adjustment component further facilitates the separation of connector body 1 and connector body 2, making furniture panel disassembly easier and promoting secondary installation and reuse.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, through holes 20 communicating with groove 10 are provided on both sides of the connector body 2, which can facilitate observation of the engagement of protrusion 5 and protrusion 8.

[0036] When in use, fix the connector body 1 and connector body 2 to the board respectively, then insert the clamping block 4 on connector body 1 into the groove 10, drive the protrusion 5 and protrusion 8 to engage, fix connector body 1 and connector body 2, thereby fixing the furniture boards together.

[0037] When disassembly is required, insert the gear through the through hole 13 between the two clamping blocks 7, so that the gear meshes with the tooth 12. Rotate the gear to drive the clamping blocks 7 to move in opposite directions, causing the protrusion 8 and protrusion 5 to separate, thereby separating the connecting body 1 and connecting body 2, and thus separating the plates that are fixed to each other. Then release the gear. Due to the elastic retraction of the elastic element, the clamping blocks 7 are driven to reset, which is convenient for reuse.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the present invention, and these should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
