[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0046] like Figure 1 The connecting member shown in the figure comprises a first connecting component 1 and a second connecting component 2, wherein the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2 are combined together. Fig. 9 In the scenario shown, Fig. 9 The two panels in the cabinet are fixed together by combining the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2.

[0047] like Figure 2 The first connecting assembly 1 shown in the figure comprises a first base 11 and a connecting piece 12. The first base 11 is generally concave, and comprises a bottom plate 111 and a vertical plate 112. Two vertical plates 112 are provided, and the two vertical plates 112 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the bottom plate 111. A connecting piece installation groove 15 is opened in the vertical plate 112, and the two ends of the connecting piece 12 are inserted into the connecting piece installation groove 15. Figure 3 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first base 11, Figure 4 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the connecting piece 12. Figure 4 The insertion end 124 is narrowed in width and inserted into the connecting piece installation groove 15 , and a shoulder is formed at the root of the insertion end 124 , which abuts against the outer edge of the installation groove 15 to limit the movement of the connecting piece 12 .

[0048] like Figure 4A slide groove 121 is provided in the connecting piece 12, one end of the slide groove 121 is provided with an insertion position 1211, and the other end is provided with a stop position 1212. The width of the insertion position 1211 is greater than the minimum outer diameter of the stop head 221, and the width of the stop position 1212 is less than the maximum outer diameter of the stop head 221. That is, the outer diameter of the insertion position 1211 is greater than the outer diameter of the stop head 221, and the outer diameter of the stop position 1212 is less than the outer diameter of the stop head 221.

[0049] like Figure 7 The second connecting assembly 2 shown. The second connecting assembly 2 includes a second base 21 and a connecting column 22. The connecting column 22 is connected to the second base 21. The outer end of the connecting column 22 is provided with a stopper 221.

[0050] Will Figure 7 The stop head 221 shown penetrates Figure 4 After the insertion position 1211 shown, the connecting post 22 is slid in the slide slot 121 until the connecting post 22 reaches the stop position 1212. At this time, the stop head 221 cannot be disengaged from the slide slot 121, thereby completing the combination of the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2.

[0051] In fact, as long as the slide groove 121 has a larger width portion and a smaller width portion, the larger width portion allows the stop head 221 to pass through, while the smaller width portion does not allow the stop head 221 to pass through, so that the stop head 221 can be combined with the connecting piece 12. After the connecting column 22 is pushed away from the stop position 1212 and removed from the insertion position 1211, the connecting column 22 is separated from the connecting piece 12, so that the first connecting component 1 is separated from the second connecting component 2, and the purpose of facilitating disassembly is achieved.

[0052] In addition, although the stop head 221 in this example is roughly spherical, in other examples, the stop head can also be a rectangular parallelepiped. In this case, the chute can be set to have the same width at both ends. The stop head width is smaller than the chute width, and the stop head length is larger than the chute width. After the stop head passes through the chute, the stop head can be rotated so that the stop head cannot be withdrawn.

[0053] In summary, by making the minimum width of the slide groove 121 smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the stop head 221 and making the maximum width of the slide groove 121 larger than the minimum outer diameter of the stop head 221 , the stop head 221 and the connecting piece 12 can be combined.

[0054] like Figure 4, a limiting protrusion 122 is also provided on the connecting piece 12. The limiting protrusion 122 extends from the side of the slide groove 121 to the opposite side, so that the width of the slide groove 121 at the limiting protrusion 122 is narrow, and the width of the slide groove at this location is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting column 22, thereby preventing the connecting column 22 from coming out of the stop position 1212. In addition, during installation, the resistance of the connecting column 22 will increase when it passes through the limiting protrusion 122, which can remind the installer that it is about to slide into place, thereby improving the installation efficiency. In addition, although two limiting protrusions 122 are provided in this example, only one limiting protrusion 122 can be provided in other embodiments.

[0055] Due to the arrangement of the above-mentioned limiting protrusion 122, during installation, a certain amount of force is required to make the connecting column 22 pass through the narrow space at the limiting protrusion 122 to enter the stop position 1212. In order to make the connecting column 22 pass through the limiting protrusion 122 smoothly, an adjustment notch 123 is provided on the connecting piece 12, and the adjustment notch 123 extends from the outer edge of the connecting piece 12 to the stop position 1212. At this time, when the connecting column 22 passes through the limiting protrusion 122, the adjustment notch 123 will open appropriately, so that the connecting column 22 can pass through the limiting protrusion 122 more smoothly.

[0056] like Figure 6 A receiving space 13 is formed between the connecting piece 12 and the bottom plate 111, and the receiving space 13 is used to accommodate the stopper 221 (see Figure 7 The thickness of the right side of the accommodating space 13 is greater than that of the left side, and the thickness of the left side is equal to the thickness of the stopper 221 (see Figure 7 ) equivalent to the outer diameter (see Figure 1 ), so that after installation, the stop head 221 is tightly clamped in the accommodating space 13, thereby limiting shaking.

[0057] like Figure 2 The surface of the bottom plate 111 facing the connecting piece 12 is provided with a groove 1111, and the extending direction of the groove 1111 is consistent with the extending direction of the slide slot 121. The groove 1111 is used to accommodate the stop head 221 (see Figure 7 ) to make the stop head 221 more stable (see Figure 1 ).

[0058] like Figure 8 The second base 21 is provided with an embedding hole 211. The embedding hole 211 is used to place the nut 23. Figure 7 The nut 23 is tightly inserted into the embedding hole 211 to achieve fixation. The outer periphery of the connecting column 22 is provided with threads, and the connecting column 22 and the nut 23 are threadedly matched. In this example, the connecting column 22 can be adjusted by rotating the exposed length, so that the distance between the first base 11 and the second base 21 can be adjusted, so as to adapt to plates of different thicknesses.

[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first base 11 and the second base 21 are both provided with a profile slot 14. Fig. 9 The profile slot 14 is used for inserting the plate after the edge is bent, so as to prevent the first base 11 or the second base 21 from rotating. A stopper column 16 is also provided in the profile slot 14, and the stopper column 16 can prevent the first base 11 or the second base 21 from moving. In this example, Figure 5 Two profile slots 14 are provided on the first base 11, which are symmetrically arranged on the back side of the bottom plate 111. The purpose of providing the two profile slots 14 is to have greater adaptability during installation. The bent edge of the profile is inserted into one of the profile slots 14. At different positions on the profile, the first base 11 may need to be rotated 180 degrees. At this time, the bent edge of the profile can be inserted into another profile slot 14, and there is no need to prepare two models of first bases 11, thereby increasing the adaptability of the first base 11.

[0060] like Fig. 9 The first panel 3 and the second panel 4 are placed vertically and cross-wise, and are connected and fixed by the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2. Fig.10 The first panel 3 and the second panel 4 are both provided with mounting holes 5. The connecting column 22 passes through the mounting holes 5 on the first panel 3 and the second panel 4 in sequence, and the stopper 221 at the outer end of the connecting column 22 is combined with the connecting piece 12. The first panel 3 and the second panel 4 are fixed together by clamping the first base 11 and the second base 21.

[0061] like Fig.10 The mounting hole 5 in this example includes an insertion portion 51 and a sliding portion 52. The insertion portion 51 is used for the connection column 22 to pass through (mainly the stopper 221 to pass through), and the sliding portion 52 is used for the connection column 22 to slide. The stopper 221 on the connection column 22 can pass through the insertion portion 51, but cannot escape from the sliding portion 52.

[0062] In summary, in this example, by detachably combining the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2, the first panel 3 and the second panel 4 can be combined, thereby realizing detachable assembly of the cabinet.

[0063] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
