Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, the connection structure of screens typically uses screws. When multiple unassembled screen components are transported to the user, installers or the user need to assemble them on-site using screws. Because this is a manual assembly method, the assembly quality is highly dependent on the operator's skill level, making it difficult to guarantee quality. Furthermore, after use, the screens are inconvenient to disassemble, leading to difficulties in transportation. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

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

[0004] A screen connection structure includes two adjacent screen bodies and a connecting member for connecting the two adjacent screen bodies. The screen body is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the connecting member is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove. The screen body and the connecting member cooperate through the snap-fit ​​structure and the snap-fit ​​groove to realize the connection between the two.

[0005] Furthermore, the connecting member also includes a pusher, and the snap-fit ​​structure is provided with a receiving groove corresponding to the pusher. The snap-fit ​​structure has an expansion portion that can expand radially outward and has an axially extending inner hole. The pusher is correspondingly disposed in the receiving groove and extends to the inner hole of the expansion portion so that the expansion portion abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the expansion portion has a guide portion, which is located at the end of the snap-fit ​​structure. When the expansion portion is in a closed state, the guide portion can guide the snap-fit ​​structure into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​groove forms a limiting surface, and the snap-fit ​​structure is provided with a stop surface corresponding to the limiting surface. The stop surface abuts against the limiting surface to restrict the snap-fit ​​structure to be located within the space of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the stop surface is inclined, and when the expansion part is in the closed state, the stop surface can guide the snap-fit ​​structure to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure is provided with a locking component, and the pusher is provided with a corresponding insertion groove for the locking component. The locking component and the insertion groove are engaged to prevent the snap-fit ​​structure from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two sets of locking components, which are arranged opposite to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking component is provided with an elastic element, which is located at the end of the locking component. The locking component is provided with a check element corresponding to the elastic element. The check element cooperates with the elastic element to restrict the locking component from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting component is provided with a locking structure, and the locking part is provided with a limit groove corresponding to the locking structure. The locking structure and the limit groove cooperate to restrict the rotation of the locking part relative to the locking structure.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes two relatively rotating first bodies and second bodies, the ends of which are rotatably connected by pins, and snap-fit ​​structures are respectively provided at the other ends of the first bodies and second bodies.

[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 enables rapid assembly and disassembly between two adjacent screens without the need for special tools, making the assembly and disassembly between the two screens more convenient and thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency;

[0016] 2. In this invention, a pusher is inserted into the receiving groove of the snap-fit ​​structure, so that after the snap-fit ​​structure is pushed open, it abuts against the groove wall, thereby fixing the snap-fit ​​structure in the snap-fit ​​groove and thus realizing the connection between the two screens.

[0017] 3. The present invention prevents the pusher from coming out of the slot by opening a slot on the pusher and inserting a locking component connected to the screen into the slot by rotating it; thereby enhancing the stability of the screen connection structure.

[0018] 4. By providing a locking component and a locking structure that cooperates with the locking component, the present invention can prevent the locking component from rotating, thereby further enhancing the connection stability of the screen connection structure;

[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

[0034] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Example 1, combined with Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a screen connection structure, including two adjacent screen bodies 1 and a connecting member for connecting the two adjacent screen bodies 1. The screen body 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 11, and the connecting member is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 3 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The screen body 1 and the connecting member cooperate through the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and the snap-fit ​​groove 11 to realize the connection between the two.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when two adjacent screen bodies 1 need to be connected, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 of the connecting component is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 11 of the screen body 1. The connecting component is used to connect the two adjacent screen bodies 1, thereby realizing the connection between the two screen bodies 1. When disassembly is required, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 can be removed from the snap-fit ​​groove 11 of the screen body 1, thereby realizing the disassembly between the two adjacent screen bodies 1. The screen body 1 can be disassembled and assembled quickly without the need for special tools, thereby improving the efficiency of screen disassembly and assembly.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the screen connection structure also includes two relatively rotating first bodies and second bodies. The ends of the first bodies and second bodies are rotatably connected by a pin 4. A snap-fit ​​structure 3 is respectively disposed at the other ends of the first bodies and second bodies. The first body includes a connecting rod 2 and a sleeve disposed at the end of the connecting rod 2. Two sets of sleeves are disposed at the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 2, respectively. The second body includes a connecting rod 2 and a sleeve disposed at the end of the connecting rod. The sleeve is disposed in the middle of the connecting rod 2. The sleeves of the first body and the second body are coaxially arranged and inserted into the holes of the sleeves by the pin 4, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the first bodies and the second bodies. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the two screen bodies 1, simply rotate the two screen bodies 1 around the pin 4 as the axis, thereby achieving the adjustment of the angle between the two screen bodies 1.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the connecting component also includes a pusher 5. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 corresponding to the pusher 5. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 has an expansion portion 32 that can expand radially outward, and it has an axially extending inner hole 33. The pusher 5 is correspondingly disposed in the receiving groove 31 and extends to the inner hole 33 of the expansion portion 32 so that the expansion portion 32 abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 is an elastic structure. When the pusher 5 is not inserted into the receiving groove 31, the expansion portion 32 is in a closed state. When the pusher 5 is inserted into the receiving groove 31, the end of the pusher 5 extends to the position of the inner hole 33, thereby causing the expansion portion 32 to expand radially outward, thereby causing the expansion portion 32 to abut against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 11, thereby realizing the connection between the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and the snap-fit ​​groove 11.

[0041] In the above structure, the end of the pusher 5 is provided with a boss, which is located on both sides of the pusher 5. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 is provided with an opening groove corresponding to the boss. When the pusher 5 enters the receiving groove 31, the boss is embedded in the opening groove and cooperates with the opening groove. A certain gap is left between the groove wall of the opening groove and the boss, so that the user can hold the two sides of the boss to remove the pusher 5, thereby realizing the disassembly function of the connecting component.

[0042] Specifically, the expansion portion 32 has a guide portion 32b, which is disposed at the end of the snap-fit ​​structure 3. When the expansion portion 32 is in the closed state, the guide portion 32b can guide the snap-fit ​​structure 3 into the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The guide portion 32b is inclined, so that when the snap-fit ​​structure 3 needs to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the guide portion 32b can guide the snap-fit ​​structure 3 into the snap-fit ​​groove 11.

[0043] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​groove 11 forms a limiting surface 12, and the snap-fit ​​structure 3 is provided with a stop surface 32a corresponding to the limiting surface 12. The stop surface 32a abuts against the limiting surface 12 to restrict the snap-fit ​​structure 3 from being located within the space of the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The snap-fit ​​groove 11 includes a straight groove communicating with the opening groove and a snap-fit ​​slot communicating with the straight groove. The snap-fit ​​slot forms a space for accommodating the expansion part 32. The limiting surface 12 is disposed in the snap-fit ​​slot. When the pusher 5 enters the straight groove and extends into the snap-fit ​​slot, the stop surface 32a abuts against the limiting surface 12, thereby preventing the expansion part 32 from coming out of the space of the snap-fit ​​slot, thereby achieving the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and the snap-fit ​​groove 11.

[0044] Specifically, the stop surface 32a is inclined. When the expansion part 32 is in the closed state, the stop surface 32a can guide the snap-fit ​​structure 3 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 11. When it is necessary to disassemble the snap-fit ​​structure 3, the pusher 5 is taken out from the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the expansion part 32 springs back and closes the inner hole 33, and when the snap-fit ​​structure 3 is taken out, the inclined stop surface 32a can guide the expansion part 32 to be taken out from the snap-fit ​​groove and the straight groove, avoiding the limiting surface 12 from blocking the stop surface 32a, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting component, and thus realizing the disassembly function of the two screen bodies 1.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 1As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 is provided with a locking component, and the pusher 5 is provided with a corresponding insertion groove 51. The locking component and the insertion groove 51 are inserted and engaged to prevent the snap-fit ​​structure 3 from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 11. Preferably, there are two sets of locking components, and the two sets of locking components are arranged opposite to each other. The locking components include a first locking component 7 and a second locking component 8. The first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 have the same structure. The bottom ends of the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 are provided with inclined surfaces 73. When the pusher 5 enters the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the end of the pusher 5 pushes the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 to rotate around the hinge point between the screen body 1 and the first locking component 7, and the hinge point between the screen body 1 and the second locking component 8, and causes the bottom ends of the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 to enter the insertion groove 51. The end faces of the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 abut against the groove wall of the insertion groove 51, thereby preventing the pusher 5 from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 11, and thus achieving the connection stability of the snap-fit ​​structure 3.

[0046] In the above structure, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the locking component is provided with an elastic element 723, which is located at the end of the locking component. A check element is provided on the locking component corresponding to the elastic element 723. The check element cooperates with the elastic element 723 to restrict the locking component from rotating in the opposite direction. Both the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 are provided with hollow cylindrical shells. The directional rotation component 72 includes a check element and an elastic element 723. The check element includes a disc 721 respectively disposed on the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8, and a stop portion 722 disposed on the disc 721. Four stop portions 722 are provided, and the four stop portions 722 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the disc 721. Preferably, the elastic element 723 is a spiral spring, one end of which is connected to the housing, and the other end is acted upon by a torque spring. Its end has a hook that cooperates with the stop part 722. When the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8 rotate, the spiral spring abuts against the stop part 722, and the spring undergoes bending elastic deformation, thereby resetting the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8.

[0047] Specifically, a locking structure is provided on the connecting component, and a limiting groove 71 is provided on the locking component corresponding to the locking structure. The locking structure cooperates with the limiting groove 71 to restrict the rotation of the locking component relative to the locking structure 3. In the above structure, a support column 13 is provided on the top of the screen body 1, and the locking structure is provided on the support column 13 and can move vertically along the support column 13. The locking structure includes a sliding rod 61, support rods 62 provided at both ends of the sliding rod 61, and a limiting block 64 provided at the end of the support rod 62. A sliding block 63 is provided at the end of the sliding rod 61, and the sliding block 63 is provided corresponding to the support column 13. A guide groove 14 is provided on the support column 13 corresponding to the sliding block 63. The sliding block 63 can slide along the guide groove 14 to drive the limiting block 64 to move. When the sliding block 63 moves to the position of the limiting groove 71, which is arc-shaped, the sliding block 63 drives the sliding rod 61, the support rod 62 on the sliding rod 61, and the limiting block 64 to move, so that the limiting block 64 enters the limiting groove 71, thereby preventing the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 from rotating relative to the screen body 1. In turn, the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 can prevent the pusher 5 from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 11, thus achieving the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and the screen body 1.

[0048] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when two adjacent screen bodies 1 need to be connected, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 is first inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 11, and then the pusher 5 is inserted into the receiving groove 31 of the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and extends to the outside of the inner hole 33, so that the expansion part 32 expands radially outward, thereby making the snap-fit ​​structure 3 abut against the groove wall of the receiving groove 31. At the same time, the stop surface 32a abuts against the limiting surface 12, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting component and the screen body 1. During the process of inserting the pusher 5 into the receiving groove 31, the end of the pusher 5 pushes the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 to rotate around the hinge point between the screen body 1 and the first locking component 7, and the hinge point between the screen body 1 and the second locking component 8, and makes the first locking component... The bottom ends of the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 enter the insertion groove 51. The end faces of the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 abut against the groove wall of the insertion groove 51, thereby preventing the pusher 5 from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 11. Finally, the sliding block 63 is pushed, and the sliding block 63 slides along the guide groove 14. The sliding block 63 drives the sliding rod 61 and the support rod 62 and the limiting block 64 on the sliding rod 61 to move upward, so that the limiting block 64 enters the limiting groove 71, thereby preventing the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 from rotating relative to the screen body 1. Thus, the first locking component 7 and the second locking component 8 can prevent the pusher 5 from coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 11, thereby achieving the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​structure 3 and the screen body 1.

[0049] When two adjacent screen bodies 1 need to be disassembled, first push the sliding block 63. The sliding block 63 slides along the guide groove 14. The sliding block 63 drives the sliding rod 61 and the support rod 62 and the limiting block 64 on the sliding rod 61 to move downward, so that the limiting block 64 disengages from the limiting groove 71. Then, hold the boss part of the pusher 5 and take the pusher 5 out of the receiving groove 31. During the removal of the pusher 5, the spring of the spiral spring abuts against the stop part 722. The spring undergoes bending elastic deformation, thereby resetting the first locking part 7 and the second locking part 8. After the pusher 5 is taken out, the expansion part 32 rebounds. Then, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 can be taken out from the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The quick assembly and disassembly between the screen bodies 1 can be achieved through the screen connection structure, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the screen bodies 1.

[0050] 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.
