Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of furniture, specifically to a connection structure and a screen. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, connecting objects is quite complex, requiring drilling holes in the objects and using bolts to fix the connectors, thus connecting the two objects. For example, screens are often connected by columnar fittings. These fittings are installed on the screen frame, and corresponding holes are drilled in the screen columns to insert the fittings. However, existing columnar fittings are not only structurally flimsy and lack stability after connection, but also require drilling holes in the screen frame and assembly with specialized tools like screwdrivers. This process demands high precision and assembly skills, is time-consuming, and inconvenient to install and disassemble, failing to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a connection structure and a screen, the specific implementation of which is as follows:

[0004] A connecting structure includes a connecting component and a connecting member disposed on the connecting component and rotatable relative to the connecting component. The connecting component is provided with a first engagement portion, and the connecting member is provided with a second engagement portion. When the two connecting structures are connected, the connecting components of the two connecting structures are nearly aligned. The connecting member of one connecting structure rotates, causing its second engagement portion to approach the first engagement portion on the other connecting structure and finally engage with the first engagement portion, thereby realizing the connection of the two connecting structures.

[0005] Furthermore, the first engagement part is configured as a guide rail, and the second engagement part is configured as a guide groove. The guide rail can slide along the guide groove. When the connecting parts of the two connecting structures are close to being aligned, the connecting member rotates relative to the connecting part, causing the guide groove to slide to the guide rail on the other connecting structure, so as to realize the connection of the two connecting structures.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting component is provided with a guide component, and the connecting member is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the guide component. The guide component can slide along the guide groove to limit the displacement of the connecting member relative to the rotation direction of the connecting component.

[0007] Furthermore, an elastic element is provided inside the guide groove. The elastic element protrudes from the groove wall and forms an internal space with one end of the guide groove to accommodate the guide component. After the guide component slides into the internal space under the action of external force, the elastic element restricts the guide component to be in the internal space.

[0008] Furthermore, a first limiting structure is provided in the guide groove, and a second limiting structure is provided in the guide component corresponding to the first limiting structure. The guide component cooperates with the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure to restrict the sliding of the guide component relative to the guide groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide component includes an anti-detachment element that abuts against the bottom surface of the connecting member to prevent the connecting member from detaching from the connecting component.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting member is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the connecting component is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the snap-fit ​​structure. The connecting member and the connecting component cooperate with the snap-fit ​​structure and the snap-fit ​​groove to restrict the rotation of the connecting member relative to the connecting component.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two snap-fit ​​slots, which are spaced apart along the outer edge of the connecting component. When the snap-fit ​​structure engages with one of the snap-fit ​​slots, it is used to restrict the rotation of the connecting component relative to the connecting component.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting member has a stop surface that abuts against the connecting component to prevent the connecting member from disengaging from the connecting component.

[0013] In addition, the present invention also provides a screen, including a connecting structure, wherein two adjacent screens are connected by the connecting structure.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. This invention utilizes a connecting structure to connect and separate adjacent screens without the need for special tools to assist in assembly and disassembly, making the connection and disassembly of the two screens more convenient and thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency;

[0016] 2. The present invention provides a limiting structure and a limiting protrusion. After the connecting component rotates, the limiting structure restricts the rotation of the guiding component, and the limiting protrusion engages in the snap-fit ​​groove to further restrict the rotation of the guiding component, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0017] 3. The present invention includes anti-detachment components and limiting blocks to prevent the connecting components from detaching from the connecting parts, so that the connecting components are more stably connected to the connecting parts, thereby making the connection between the two screens more stable;

[0018] 4. In this invention, after the two screens are disassembled, the limiting protrusion engages with the snap-fit ​​groove to limit the position of the connecting component relative to the connecting part, thereby preventing the connecting structure from shaking when the screens are moved.

[0019] 5. The present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate. In emergency situations, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the screen. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0034] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, so that those skilled in the art can understand and read them, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0036] Example 1, combined with Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a connection structure, including a connecting component 1 and a connecting member 3 disposed on the connecting component 1 and rotatable relative to the connecting component 1. The connecting component 1 is provided with a first engagement portion, and the connecting member 3 is provided with a second engagement portion. When the two connection structures are connected, the connecting components 1 of the two connection structures are close to being aligned. The connecting member 3 of one connection structure rotates, causing its second engagement portion to approach the first engagement portion on the other connection structure and finally engage with the first engagement portion, thereby realizing the connection of the two connection structures.

[0037] Specifically, the first engagement part is configured as a guide rail 13, and the second engagement part is configured as a guide groove 35. The guide rail 13 can slide along the guide groove 35. When the connecting parts 1 of the two connecting structures are nearly aligned, the connecting member 3 rotates relative to the connecting part 1, causing the guide groove 35 to slide onto the guide rail 13 of the other connecting structure, thereby realizing the connection between the two connecting structures. The guide rail 13 is located at the bottom of the connecting part 1, and the guide groove 35 is located at the top of the connecting member 3 corresponding to the guide rail 13. When two adjacent screens are connected, the two connecting members 3 rotate, causing the guide groove 35 to rotate toward the guide rail 13 of the adjacent connecting member 3, thereby enabling the guide groove 35 to cooperate with the adjacent guide rail 13 to realize the connection between the two adjacent screens.

[0038] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, when two adjacent screens need to be connected, the connecting component 3 is rotated clockwise, and the guide rail 13 slides along the guide groove 35. During the rotation of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1, the guide rail 13 slides into the guide groove 35 of the adjacent screen, so that the two adjacent screens are connected. When disassembly is required, the connecting component 3 is rotated counterclockwise, and the guide groove 35 slides toward the guide rail 13 away from the adjacent connecting component 3, so that the guide groove 35 is reset, thereby realizing the disassembly function of the two adjacent screens. The connection structure is simple, which makes the assembly and disassembly of the two adjacent screens convenient.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the connecting member 3 has a semi-circular structure. The connecting component 1 is provided with a limiting plate 16 on the outer circle of the connecting member 3. The limiting plate 16 protrudes from the bottom of the connecting component 1. The limiting plate 16 and the front end of the connecting component 1 form an active space. When the connecting member 3 rotates relative to the connecting component 1, the limiting plate 16 restricts the connecting member 3 from rotating within the active space.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a guide component 2 is provided on the connecting component 1, and a guide groove is provided on the connecting component 3 corresponding to the guide component 2. The guide component 2 can slide along the guide groove to limit the displacement of the connecting component 3 relative to the rotation direction of the connecting component 1. The guide component 2 includes a connecting shaft 21 provided on the connecting component 1 and an anti-detachment component 25 provided on the connecting shaft 21. The connecting component 1 is provided with a mounting hole 15 corresponding to the connecting shaft 21, and the connecting shaft 21 is disposed in the mounting hole 15. The anti-detachment component 25 is made of silicone material and is detachably connected to the connecting shaft 21. A second tooth 23 is formed at the connection between the connecting shaft 21 and the anti-detachment component 25. A second tooth groove is provided on the anti-detachment component 25 corresponding to the second tooth 23. The second tooth groove and the second tooth 23 cooperate to make the anti-detachment component 25... The connecting shaft 21 does not rotate in the axial direction. A protrusion 24 is provided at the connection between the second tooth 23 and the anti-detachment member 25. A receiving groove is provided in the second tooth groove corresponding to the protrusion 24. The protrusion 24 is engaged with the receiving groove to prevent the anti-detachment member 25 from moving radially relative to the connecting shaft. Because the silicone material is elastic, the anti-detachment member 25 has a detachable function. The anti-detachment member 25 abuts against the surface of the connecting member 3 to limit the connection member 3 from detaching from the connecting component 1, so that the connecting member 3 is more stably connected to the connecting component 1.

[0041] Specifically, an elastic element 34 is provided inside the guide groove. The elastic element 34 protrudes from the groove wall and forms an internal space with one end of the guide groove to accommodate the guide component 2. After the guide component 2 slides into the internal space under the action of external force, the elastic element 34 restricts the guide component 2 to remain within the internal space. In the above structure, the guide groove includes a first guide groove 31 and a second guide groove 32. The first guide groove 31 and the second guide groove 32 are stepped. The elastic element 34 is provided at one end of the second guide groove 32. The guide component 2 slides toward the elastic element 34. When the guide component 2 contacts the elastic element 34, an external force is applied to the guide component 2, causing the elastic element 34 to deform, thereby causing the guide component 2 to slide into the internal space formed by one end of the guide groove and the elastic element 34, thus preventing the guide component 2 from sliding along the guide groove after two adjacent screens are connected.

[0042] Specifically, a first limiting structure is provided in the guide groove, and a second limiting structure is provided corresponding to the first limiting structure for the guide component 2. The guide component 2 cooperates with the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure to restrict the sliding of the guide component 2 relative to the guide groove. The first limiting structure is provided on the second guide groove 32, and the second limiting structure is provided on the guide component 2. The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are a first toothed groove 33 and a first toothed portion 22 that mesh with each other. When the guide component 2 slides along the guide groove and slides into the internal space formed by the elastic member 34 and one end of the second guide groove 32, the first toothed portion 22 meshes with the first toothed groove 33, thereby preventing the guide component 2 from rotating axially.

[0043] As another preferred embodiment, the first limiting structure can be set as a docking groove, and the connecting shaft 21 is provided with a docking block corresponding to the docking groove. When the guide component 2 slides along the guide groove and slides to the internal space formed by the elastic member 34 and one end of the second guide groove 32, the docking block and the docking groove are inserted and engaged, thereby preventing the guide component 2 from rotating relative to the guide groove. In order to further enhance the axial braking effect of the guide component 2, two sets of docking grooves are provided, and the two sets of docking grooves are arranged side by side. The docking block is provided corresponding to the docking groove, thereby further preventing the guide component 2 from rotating relative to the guide groove.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, a boss 37 is provided on the top of the connecting member 3, and the boss 37 is located at the center of the connecting member 3. A locking component 4 is also provided in the middle of the connecting member 3. A groove 36 is provided on the connecting member 3 corresponding to the locking component 4. The groove 36 extends from the bottom of the connecting member 3 towards the boss 37. The locking component 4 includes a connecting block 41 disposed in the groove 36 and a limiting block 42 disposed on the connecting block 41. The connecting block 41 and the groove 36 are interference-fitted, so that the connecting block 41 and the groove 36 can be... 6. The tight fit prevents the connecting block 41 from moving relative to the groove 36, and the front end of the limiting block 42 extends out of the outer surface of the boss 37. The bottom surface of the limiting block 42 abuts against the surface of the connecting member 3, thereby making the connection between the locking member 4 and the connecting member 3 more stable. In addition, the connecting member 1 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 11 corresponding to the limiting block 42. The bottom 12 of the arc-shaped groove 11 abuts against the stop surface (bottom surface of the limiting block 42) formed by the limiting block 42 to restrict the connecting member 3 from disengaging from the connecting member 1.

[0045] In another preferred embodiment, the connecting block 41 is configured as an elastic body. When the connecting block 41 is placed in the groove 36, the elastic body undergoes elastic deformation, thereby making the outer contour of the connecting block 41 fit tightly against the groove wall of the groove 36, thus making the connection between the locking component 4 and the connecting member 3 more stable.

[0046] Specifically, the connecting member 3 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the connecting component 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 14 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​structure. The connecting member 3 and the connecting component 1 cooperate with the snap-fit ​​structure and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 to restrict the rotation of the connecting member 3 relative to the connecting component 1. The snap-fit ​​structure and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 are perfectly matched in shape. During the snap-fit ​​process between the connecting member 3 and the connecting component 1, the snap-fit ​​structure snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 14 to form a snap-fit ​​connection. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure is provided on the upper limit protrusion 43 of the connecting block 41, and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 is provided on the arc-shaped groove 11 and the guide rail 13 corresponding to the upper limit protrusion 43. During the docking process of the two connecting members 3, the two connecting members 3 are rotated clockwise, and the upper limit protrusion 43 enters into the snap-fit ​​groove 14 and engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 14, thereby further restricting the rotation of the connecting member 3 relative to the connecting component 1, making the connection between the two adjacent screens more stable.

[0047] Preferably, two locking slots 14 are provided, and the two locking slots 14 are distributed at intervals along the outer edge of the connecting component 1. When the locking structure engages with one of the locking slots 14, it is used to restrict the rotation of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1. During the docking process of the two connecting components 3, rotating the two connecting components 3 clockwise causes the limiting protrusion 43 to enter into one of the locking slots 14 and engage with it, thereby further restricting the rotation of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1, making the connection between the two adjacent screens more stable; when the two adjacent screens need to be disassembled, rotating the connecting component 3 counterclockwise causes the limiting protrusion 43 to enter into the other locking slot 14 and engage with it, thereby restricting the rotation position of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1, thus preventing the connecting component 3 from rotating relative to the connecting component 1 after the two adjacent screens are disassembled.

[0048] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when two adjacent screens need to be connected, the two connecting components 3 are joined together, and the two connecting components 3 are rotated clockwise. The guide rail 13 of the connecting component 1 slides along the guide groove 35 of the connecting component 3. During connection, the guide rail 13 slides into the guide groove 35 of the adjacent connecting component 3, and the stop surface of the limiting block 42 abuts against the bottom 12 of the arc-shaped groove 11 of the connecting component 1. The anti-detachment component 25 abuts against the bottom surface of the connecting component 3, thereby preventing the connecting component 3 from detaching from the top and bottom of the connecting component 1. At the same time, the guide component 2 slides along the second guide groove 32 toward the elastic component 34. When the guide component 2 contacts the elastic component 34, it is connected by... The staff applies external force to the guide component 2, causing the elastic element 34 to deform, thereby allowing the guide component 3 to slide into the internal space formed by the elastic element 34 and one end of the guide groove. This prevents the guide component 2 from sliding along the guide groove after the two adjacent screens are connected. When the guide component 2 slides into the internal space formed by the elastic element 34 and one end of the guide groove, the first tooth 22 engages with the first tooth groove 33, thereby preventing the guide component 2 from rotating axially. Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 43 engages with one of the locking grooves 14, thereby further restricting the rotation of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1. This makes the connection between the two adjacent screens more stable and the assembly between the two screens more convenient.

[0049] When two adjacent screens need to be disassembled, the two connecting components 3 are rotated counterclockwise. The guide groove 35 of the connecting component 3 slides toward the guide rail 13 away from the adjacent connecting component 1, so that the guide groove 35 is reset. At the same time, the staff applies external force to the guide component 2, so that the elastic element 34 deforms, thereby causing the guide component 3 to slide out of the internal space formed by the elastic element 34 and one end of the guide groove. The guide component 2 slides away from the elastic element 34. After the guide component 2 slides out of the internal space formed by the elastic element 34 and one end of the guide groove, the limiting protrusion 43 engages with another locking groove 14 to limit the rotation position of the connecting component 3 relative to the connecting component 1. This prevents the connecting component 3 from rotating relative to the connecting component 1 after the two adjacent screens are disassembled, thereby realizing the disassembly function between the two adjacent screens.

[0050] Example 2: This example also provides a screen, which includes the connection structure as described in Example 1, and adjacent screens are connected by the connection structure.

[0051] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this invention. It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims.
