[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] like Figures 1 to 11 A connecting component shown includes a flexible soft seat 1, an inner concave cavity 11 is provided at one end of the flexible soft seat 1, a first connecting portion 12 and a connecting seat are provided in the inner concave cavity 11, the first connecting portion 12 is provided with a first connecting hole 121, a first connecting member 3 is connected to the connecting seat, a first detachable connecting structure is provided between the first connecting member 3 and the connecting seat, and a second connecting structure is also provided on the first connecting member 3; when two connecting components are connected, the second connecting structure of one connecting component is connected to the first connecting hole 121 of the other connecting component, and the first connecting hole 121 of the connecting component is connected to the second connecting structure of the other connecting component.

[0039] When two connecting components are connected, the first connecting parts 3 on the two connecting components can be removed first, and the two first connecting parts 3 can be connected to the first connecting holes 121 of the other connecting component through the second connecting structure. Then, the flexible soft seat 1 can be pressed to make the connecting seat extend from the inner cavity 11, and the first connecting part 3 can be detachably connected back to the connecting seat through the first detachable connecting structure, thereby completing the connection of the two connecting components. The operation is convenient and quick.

[0040] The first detachable connection structure is a snap-fit ​​structure that allows the first connector 3 to be snapped onto the connector base by rotating the first connector 3 relative to the connector base. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​slot 31 provided on the first connector 3, and a snap-fit ​​block 21 provided on the connector base and capable of being inserted into the snap-fit ​​slot 31, thereby connecting the first connector 3 to the connector base. The first connector 3 is provided with a socket 32 ​​for inserting the connector base, the snap-fit ​​slot 31 being provided on the wall of the socket 32, and the first connector 3 is provided with a clearance notch 33 that allows the snap-fit ​​block 21 to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​slot 31. The connector base includes a base 22 connected to the flexible soft base 1 and a connecting post 23 provided on the base 22, with the snap-fit ​​block 21 being provided on the connecting post 23.

[0041] When installing the first connecting member 3 on the connecting seat, first align the block 21 with the avoidance notch 33 so that the connecting column 23 is inserted into the socket 32, and then rotate the first connecting member 3 to insert the block 21 into the slot 31 to complete the connection. When disassembly is required, only the first connecting member 3 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction to make the block 21 exit the slot 31. Disassembly and assembly are very convenient and quick.

[0042] In one embodiment, the connecting seat is arranged in the middle of the inner concave cavity 11, and the flexibility of the flexible soft seat 1 allows the connecting seat to be tilted at a certain angle, so that the first connecting members 3 on the two connecting components are staggered to complete the installation; in one embodiment, the connecting seat is eccentrically arranged in the inner concave cavity 11, so that the first connecting members 3 on the two connecting components are staggered to facilitate installation.

[0043] The slot 31 is L-shaped or hook-shaped. A limiting block 311 is provided in the slot 31 for limiting the block 21 from sliding out of the slot 31 , thereby preventing the block 21 from sliding out of the slot 31 on its own.

[0044] The second connecting structure includes a second connecting portion 34 on the first connecting member 3, a second connecting hole 341 in the second connecting portion 34, and a strap 4 for passing through the second connecting hole 341 for binding. Elastic protrusions 41 are provided at each end of the strap 4 to prevent the strap 4 from slipping out of the first and second connecting holes 121 and 341. In one embodiment, the middle portion of the strap 4 is flat, and the elastic protrusions 41 are hemispherical or frustum-shaped, with a large base and a tapered top. This allows the elastic protrusions 41 to easily pass through the first and second connecting holes 121 and 341 and prevent them from slipping out.

[0045] In one embodiment, after the first connecting member 3 is rotated into position, the central axes of the first connecting hole 121 and the second connecting hole 341 are parallel to each other, which makes the connection more convenient and the connection tighter. The first connecting portion 12 and the flexible soft seat 1 are integrally formed.

[0046] The flexible seat 1 is made of an elastic material or PVC soft rubber material. It is flexible and can be pressed during assembly and disassembly to extend the connector toward the exit of the inner cavity 11, facilitating installation and removal of the first connector 3. The flexible seat 1 also provides a certain cushioning effect when subjected to stress, making it less susceptible to damage and providing a long service life. The flexible seat 1 has a certain degree of elasticity. After the two connecting components are connected, the flexible seat 1 recovers from its deformation and tightens the first connector 3, thereby reducing the gap between the two connected products and achieving a tighter connection.

[0047] The outer wall of the end of the flexible seat 1 having the inner cavity 11 is provided with a protrusion 13, through which the flexible seat 1 abuts and supports the connected product 10, making it difficult for the connection component to fall out of the installation connection hole 10.

[0048] A plurality of reinforcing ribs are axially distributed on the outer wall of the flexible soft seat 1 , thereby improving the stress resistance of the flexible soft seat 1 .

[0049] The base 22 is integrally formed with the flexible soft seat 1. The base 22 is provided with a through-hole 221 and a groove 222 that enhance adhesion during the integral molding of the base 22 and the flexible soft seat 1. The base 22 is integrally formed with the flexible soft seat 1 via secondary injection molding. During the secondary injection molding, the molding material fills the through-hole 221 and the groove 222, thereby strengthening the connection between the base 22 and the flexible soft seat 1 and enhancing the stress resistance of the connection between the base 22 and the flexible soft seat 1.

[0050] In one embodiment, the flexible soft seat 1 is in a bowl-shaped or cap-shaped shape as a whole. The round bowl-shaped shape can disperse stress to a certain extent, reduce stress concentration, improve the stress resistance of the flexible soft seat 1, and increase service life.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] like Figure 12 The first connecting member 3 in the connecting assembly described above, embodiment 2 differs from embodiment 1 in that:

[0053] The upper part of the second connecting portion 34 is provided with a side wing 342 protruding outward. The side wing 342 and the outer wall of the second connecting structure form a concave area for the belt body 4 to be wrapped around. When the belt body 4 is too long, the belt body 4 can be wrapped around the concave area, and the side wing 342 can prevent the belt body 4 from slipping out of the concave area.
