In this way, when the screw and the wood are tightened, the reverse buckles are tightly embedded in the wood to achieve the purpose of anti-reversal, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connection between the components; although it has a self-locking function, the setting of the reverse buckles will affect the tightening of the screws when tightening, because the setting of the reverse buckles will damage the connection surface between the product and the reverse buckles, and the reverse buckles will press against the surface of the product, thereby failing to achieve the expected self-locking function, and the structure that damages the connection surface of the product will make it impossible to tighten the screws again after the screws are removed, and will also destroy the stability of the product structure.
