[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the present application provides a connection assembly for connecting a support base 100 and a box body 200, which includes a clamping structure 1 and a locking structure 2. The support base 100 is located in the box body 200, for example, the length direction of the support base 100 is substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the box body 200, or the length direction of the support base 100 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the box body 200. The connection assembly can be applied to containers, such as tool boxes, tool boxes, storage boxes, storage baskets, drawer boxes, roller boxes, tool bags and other containers. The connection assembly is mainly used for interlocking between the support base 100 and the box body 200.

[0043] This solution is described by taking the supporting base 100 being located inside the box body 200 as an example.

[0044] The clamping structure 1 is arranged on the support base 100 and the box body 200. When the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are clamped, the second clamping portion 12 interferes with the first clamping portion 11 in the separation direction, thereby limiting the movement of the support base 100 and the box body 200 in the separation direction; when the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are not clamped, the second clamping portion 12 does not interfere with the movement of the first clamping portion 11 in the separation direction, thereby not limiting the movement of the support base 100 and the box body 200 in the separation direction.

[0045] The lock structure 2 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the lock structure 2 is in the locked state, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 are prevented from moving along the misaligned direction. When the lock structure 2 is in the unlocked state, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 are allowed to move along the misaligned direction.

[0046] It should be noted that the separation direction of the support seat 100 and the box body 200 is parallel to the thickness direction of the box body 200, and can be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the support seat 100 in the box body 200; the misalignment direction of the support seat 100 and the box body 200 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the box body 200, and can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the support seat 100 in the box body 200. Taking the box body 200 as a reference, the box body 200 is placed horizontally and roughly parallel to the ground, and the support seat 100 is set in the box body 200. At this time, the support seat 100 moves relative to the box body 200 in the separation direction, that is, the support seat 100 moves in the upward vertical direction; at this time, the support seat 100 moves relative to the box body 200 in the misalignment direction, that is, the support seat 100 moves in the horizontal direction of the left and right. Under the cooperation of the locking structure 2 and the clamping structure 1, the support seat 100 is restricted from moving in the misalignment direction and the separation direction, so that the support seat 100 can be locked on the box body 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first clamping portion 11 is provided with one, the first clamping portion 11 is a blocking structure with a relatively large length, and there is a gap between the two ends of the first clamping portion 11 and the inner wall of the box body 200. In this way, the second clamping portion 12 can move in the separation direction through the gap between the first clamping portion 11 and the inner wall of the box body 200, and the second clamping portion 12 effectively blocks the first clamping portion 11 in the separation direction, so that the connection between the support base 100 and the box body 200 is more stable and reliable in the separation direction.

[0048] In a preferred solution, a plurality of first clamping parts 11 are provided and arranged along the dislocation direction. For example, a plurality of first clamping parts 11 are provided. In this way, there is a gap between adjacent first clamping parts 11, so that the second clamping part 12 can move in the separation direction through the gap between adjacent first clamping parts 11. The box body 200 does not need to move a large distance in the dislocation direction, and it is easier for the first clamping part 11 to release the interference with the second clamping part 12 in the separation direction, making it convenient to separate the support seat 100 and the box body 200 in the separation direction, saving time and effort.

[0049] In a preferred solution, a blocking portion 3 is provided on the box body 200. When the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are clamped, the second clamping portion 12 can abut against the blocking portion 3. The distance between the first clamping portion 11 and the blocking portion 3 is less than the height of the second clamping portion 12, thereby preventing the second clamping portion 12 from sliding out of the gap between the first clamping portion 11 and the blocking portion 3 in the dislocation direction. The distance between the first clamping portion 11 and the blocking portion 3 here can be zero, that is, the blocking portion 3 is connected to one end of the first clamping portion 11. In this way, through the design of the blocking portion 3, after the support seat 100 reaches the preset position in the box body 200, the support seat 100 is prevented from continuing to move in the direction of the blocking portion 3, thereby preventing the second clamping portion 12 from sliding over relative to the first clamping portion 11, and the dislocation direction of the support seat 100 is unidirectionally locked.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the blocking portion 3 is provided on the box body 200 and the first clamping portion 11 is arranged in a plurality in the dislocation direction, each first clamping portion 11 is provided with a blocking portion 3, so that when the support seat 100 is interfered by any first clamping portion 11 in the separation direction, it is also interfered by the blocking portion 3 in a dislocation direction. Alternatively, some of the first clamping portions 11 are provided with blocking portions 3 (for example, the first clamping portions 11 arranged at intervals are provided with a blocking portion 3), so that, according to actual needs, it can be selectively set whether the second clamping portion 12 is interfered by the blocking portion 3 in the dislocation direction.

[0051] In a preferred solution, a plurality of first clamping portions 11 are provided and located on the side wall of the box body 200, and arranged along the dislocation direction. The inner wall of the box body 200 includes a pair of first side walls 201 arranged opposite to each other and a pair of second side walls 202 arranged opposite to each other, the pair of first side walls 201 are arranged in the dislocation direction, and the pair of second side walls 202 are arranged perpendicular to the dislocation direction, and the support seat 100 is connected to the second side wall 202 through the clamping structure 1. On the second side wall 202, a plurality of clamping structures 1 are arranged, so that when the support seat 100 moves in the separation direction, the second clamping portion 12 can move in the thickness direction of the box body 200. In this way, the operator faces the box body 200, and drives the support seat 100 to move by pressing or pulling out during the operation, so as to facilitate the movement of the support seat 100 in the separation direction. At the same time, during the movement of the support seat 100, there is no other structure on the moving path of the second clamping portion 12 to block the line of sight, so that the operator can intuitively and conveniently observe the position of the second clamping portion 12 relative to the first clamping portion 11 and the second side wall 202, and thus facilitate judgment on whether the support seat 100 has reached the preset position in the separation direction.

[0052] In a preferred solution, a third clamping portion 13 is provided on the box body 200, and the projection of the third clamping portion 13 on the bottom surface of the box body 200 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first clamping portion 11 on the bottom surface of the box body 200, and the first clamping portion 11 cooperates with the third clamping portion 13 to clamp with the second clamping portion 12. The third clamping portion 13 is arranged above or below the first clamping portion 11. Taking the third clamping portion 13 arranged below the first clamping portion 11 as an example, when the second clamping portion 12 is located between the first clamping portion 11 and the third clamping portion 13, the first clamping portion 11 interferes with the support base 100 when it moves in a direction away from the bottom surface of the box body 200, and the third clamping portion 13 interferes with the support base 100 when it moves in a direction close to the bottom surface of the box body 200, so that the support base 100 can be kept at a certain height in the box body 200 when it is in a locked state.

[0053] Alternatively, when the third clamping portion 13 is not provided, the bottom surface of the support base 100 contacts the bottom inner wall of the box body 200, and the second clamping portion 12 is located between the first clamping portion 11 and the bottom inner wall of the box body 200. The first clamping portion 11 interferes with the support base 100 when it moves in a direction away from the bottom surface of the box body 200, and the bottom inner wall of the box body 200 interferes with the support base 100 when it moves in a direction close to the bottom surface of the box body 200, which can also put the support base 100 in a locked state.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the lock structure 2 includes a locking member 22 and a locking groove 21, wherein the locking groove 21 is arranged on the box body 200, and the locking member 22 is arranged on the support seat 100. For example, when the support seat 100 and the box body 200 are connected, the locking member 22 is located at the bottom wall of the support seat 100, and the locking groove 21 is located at the inner wall of the bottom of the box body 200, so as to facilitate locking and unlocking. Moreover, the locking member 22 can move relative to the support seat 100, and the action is set to rotate, that is, the locking member 22 is connected to the support seat 100 in a rotational manner, so that the locking member 22 can extend into and extend out of the locking groove 21. In other embodiments, the locking member 22 can slide, rotate, etc. relative to the support seat 100, so as to realize the switching of the locking state and the unlocking state of the lock structure 2. When the lock structure 2 is in the locked state, the locking member 22 extends into the locking groove 21, and when the lock structure 2 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 22 extends out of the locking groove 21, so as to realize the switching of the lock structure 2 between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the locking structure 2 further includes a first elastic member 25, which is connected between the locking member 22 and the support seat 100 and can drive the locking member 22 to move relative to the support seat 100, so that the locking member 22 moves to interfere with the locking groove 21 (i.e., the locking member 22 extends into the locking groove 21), thereby automatically keeping the locking structure 2 in a locked state. When the support seat 100 is connected to the box body 200, the second clamping portion 12 moves along the misalignment direction to clamp the first clamping portion 11, the locking member 22 presses against the bottom wall of the box body 200 and slides along the misalignment direction with the support seat 100, the locking member 22 moves to align with the locking groove 21, and the locking member 22 is automatically locked with the locking groove 21 under the action of the first elastic member 25.

[0056] The following describes various embodiments of the present invention in detail in combination with the above embodiments.

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, in the first embodiment, the lock structure 2 is arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 200, and the locking member 22 includes an operating member 26 and a locking tongue 27. The operating member 26 extends to the top of the support seat 100. The bottom surface of the support seat 100 is provided with a receiving groove, and one end of the receiving groove is open so that the open end of the receiving groove is connected with the side of the support seat 100. A first elastic member 25 is connected between the locking tongue 27 / operating member 26 and the support seat 100. The first elastic member 25 can be set as a spring sheet that can produce elastic deformation. Under the action of the first elastic member 25, the locking tongue 27 can automatically move along the locking direction. In this embodiment, the first end of the first elastic member 25 is connected to the support seat 100, and the second end of the first elastic member 25 is connected to the locking tongue 27. The second end of the first elastic member 25 can swing and flip relative to the support seat 100. The locking tongue 27 is arranged at the second end of the first elastic member 25 and is close to the open end of the receiving groove. The locking tongue 27 can extend to the bottom wall of the box body 200 to a position in the locking groove 21.

[0058] The locking groove 21 is provided on the box body 200, and the opening faces the support seat 100. Manual force is applied to drive the support seat 100 to move in the dislocation direction. When the locking groove 21 and the locking tongue 27 are aligned, under the action of the first elastic member 25, the first elastic member 25 drives the locking tongue 27 to flip downward into the locking groove 21, and the locking structure 2 is in a locked state to prevent the support seat 100 and the box body 200 from sliding relative to each other. Manual force is applied to the operating member 26, and the operating member 26 drives the support seat 100 to continue to move in the dislocation direction. The first elastic member 25 drives the locking tongue 27 to flip upward and extend out of the locking groove 21, and the locking structure 2 is in an unlocked state to allow the support seat 100 and the box body 200 to slide relative to each other.

[0059] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, in the second embodiment, the lock structure 2 is arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 200, and the locking member 22 includes an operating member 26 and a locking tongue 27. The operating member 26 protrudes from the outer side wall of the support seat 100 and can be turned over relative to the support seat 100. Specifically, the bottom surface of the support seat 100 is provided with a receiving groove, and one end of the receiving groove is open so that the open end of the receiving groove is connected with the side of the support seat 100. A first elastic member 25 is connected between the operating member 26 and the support seat 100. The first elastic member 25 can be set as a spring sheet that can produce elastic deformation. Under the action of the first elastic member 25, the operating member 26 can automatically move along the locking direction. In this embodiment, one end of the first elastic member 25 is connected to the support seat 100, and the other end is connected to the operating member 26, so as to drive the second end of the operating member 26 to swing and turn. The locking tongue 27 is arranged at the second end of the operating member 26 and is close to the open end of the receiving groove. The locking tongue 27 can extend to the bottom wall of the box body 200 to the position in the locking groove 21.

[0060] The locking groove 21 is arranged on the box body 200, and the opening faces the support seat 100. The manual force drives the support seat 100 to move in the dislocation direction. When the locking groove 21 and the locking tongue 27 are aligned, under the action of the first elastic member 25, the operating member 26 drives the locking tongue 27 to flip downward into the locking groove 21, and the locking structure 2 is in a locked state to prevent the support seat 100 and the box body 200 from sliding relative to each other. The manual force drives the operating member 26 to flip upward, and drives the locking tongue 27 to extend from the locking groove 21, and the locking structure 2 is in an unlocked state to allow the support seat 100 and the box body 200 to slide relative to each other.

[0061] In the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the second clamping portion 12 includes a plurality of clamping protrusions, and at least one clamping protrusion is clamped with the first clamping portion 11. The arrangement position of the clamping protrusion corresponds to the arrangement position of the first clamping portion 11. For example, the first clamping portion 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 200, and correspondingly, the clamping protrusion is arranged on the side wall of the support seat 100 to match the first clamping portion 11. The number of clamping protrusions can be set according to actual needs, for example, the clamping protrusions are provided with two, three, four, etc. When one of the clamping protrusions is clamped with the first clamping portion 11, the support seat 100 can be locked in the separation direction, making the locking operation simple and convenient. When multiple clamping protrusions are clamped with the first clamping portion 11 at the same time, the locking strength of the support seat 100 in the separation direction is improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, the locking groove 21 includes a first wall 211 and a second wall 212 relative to each other, and both the first wall 211 and the second wall 212 are straight surfaces. When the second clamping portion 12 moves along the misalignment direction, the first wall 211 and the second wall 212 can interfere with the locking member 22 to prevent the locking member 22 from sliding along the straight surface.

[0063] It should be noted that when the locking member 22 and the locking groove 21 abut in the dislocation direction, the locking member 22 cannot pass through the dislocation relative to the locking groove 21 without any operation. For example, the locking groove 21 is provided with a straight surface perpendicular to the unlocking direction (i.e., the dislocation direction) of the lock structure 2, and is blocked by the abutment of the first wall 211 and the second wall 212 relative to each other. At this time, the locking member 22 can only be separated from the locking groove 21 without abutment, so that the holding function of the lock structure 2 can be invalidated. In this embodiment, the locking member 22 includes an operating member 26 and a locking tongue 27. The operating member 26 protrudes from the outer wall of the support seat 100 and can be flipped relative to the support seat 100. Manual force drives the operating member 26 to flip upward, and drives the locking tongue 27 to extend from the locking groove 21, so that the locking member 22 is separated from the locking groove 21, thereby achieving the failure of the holding function of the lock structure 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the locking groove 21 includes a first wall 211 and a second wall 212 relative to each other, and at least one of the first wall 211 and the second wall 212 is configured as an inclined surface. When an external force is applied to cause the second clamping portion 12 to move along the misalignment direction, the locking member 22 can slide along the inclined surface.

[0065] It should be noted that one or both of the first wall surface 211 and the second wall surface 212 are set as inclined surfaces, and the blocking is performed in the form of abutment between a straight surface and an inclined surface, or abutment between inclined surfaces and inclined surfaces. At this time, it is only necessary to make the rebound force of the first elastic member 25 always smaller than the abutment force between the locking member 22 and the locking groove 21, so that the holding effect of the lock structure 2 is always effective without any external force. In this embodiment, the locking member 22 includes an operating member 26 and a locking tongue 27. The operating member 26 extends to the top of the support seat 100. Manual force is applied to the operating member 26, and the operating member 26 drives the support seat 100 to continue to move in the dislocation direction. The first elastic member 25 drives the locking tongue 27 to flip upward and extend out of the locking groove 21, so that the locking member 22 is separated from the locking groove 21, thereby achieving the failure of the holding effect of the lock structure 2. Alternatively, the locking member 22 includes an operating member 26 and a locking tongue 27. The operating member 26 protrudes from the outer wall of the support seat 100 and can be flipped relative to the support seat 100. Manual force drives the operating member 26 to flip upward and drives the locking tongue 27 to extend from the locking groove 21, so that the locking member 22 is separated from the locking groove 21, thereby achieving the failure of the retaining effect of the lock structure 2.

[0066] like Figure 8-Figure 12 As shown, in the third embodiment, the locking structure 2 is arranged on the side wall of the box body 200, the first clamping portion 11 includes a first clamping segment 111 and a second clamping segment 112, the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 are arranged in the staggered direction, and the projection of the third clamping portion 13 on the bottom surface of the box body 200 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 on the bottom surface of the box body 200. The locking structure 2 includes a first locking groove 23, and the first locking groove 23 includes a first clamping segment 111 and a third clamping portion 13. When the locking structure 2 is in a locked state, when the first locking groove 23 interferes with the second clamping portion 12, the support seat 100 cannot move in the direction of separation. When the locking structure 2 is in an unlocked state, when the first locking groove 23 does not interfere with the second clamping portion 12, the support seat 100 can move in the direction of separation.

[0067] In the preferred embodiment, the locking structure 2 also includes a second locking groove 24, the second locking groove 24 includes a second clamping section 112 and a third clamping portion 13, and the first locking groove 23 and the second locking groove 24 are arranged along the staggered direction; the second clamping portion 12 includes two clamping protrusions, and the two clamping protrusions are described as the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 122 respectively. When the first protrusion 121 is located in the first locking groove 23 and the second protrusion 122 cannot interfere with the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112, the support base 100 can be rotated relative to the box body 200 to adjust the position of the support base 100 relative to the box body 200, and the second protrusion 122 on the support base 100 is overlapped on the third clamping portion 13 by rotating the support base 100, and then the support base 100 is moved along the dislocation direction to disengage the first locking groove 23 and the second protrusion 122 is placed in the second locking groove 24; when the second protrusion 122 is located in the second locking groove 24, the first protrusion 121 interferes with the first clamping section 111 / the second clamping section 112, and the rotation of the support base 100 is prevented by the first clamping section 111 / the second clamping section 112, while the support base 100 is fixed on the box body 200.

[0068] In this embodiment, a first protrusion 28 is protruded on the wall surface of the first holding section 111 close to the third holding portion 13. The first holding section 111, the third holding portion 13, the blocking portion 3 and the first protrusion 28 cooperate to form a first locking groove 23 for accommodating the first protrusion 121. When the first protrusion 121 is placed in the first locking groove 23, the support seat 100 rotates with the first protrusion 121 as the axis, and the second protrusion 122 overlaps the third holding portion 13 through the rotation; the second holding section 112 is close to the third holding portion 13, and the second protrusion 122 overlaps the third holding portion 13. A second protrusion 29 protrudes from the wall surface of the three clamping parts 13, and the second clamping section 112, the third clamping part 13, the other blocking part 3 and the second protrusion 29 cooperate to form a second locking groove 24 for accommodating the second protrusion 122. When the support base 100 moves along the dislocation direction so that the second protrusion 122 is placed in the second locking groove 24, the rotation of the support base 100 with the second protrusion 122 as the axis is interfered by the first clamping part 11 and the third clamping part 13, so that the support base 100 is fixed on the box body 200.

[0069] Among them, at least one of the first protrusion 28 and the first protrusion 121 is a deformable elastic structure, and it is only necessary to make the rebound force of the first protrusion 28 / the first protrusion 121 always smaller than the contact force between the first protrusion 28 and the first protrusion 121, then in the absence of any external force, the first protrusion 28 always interferes with the first protrusion 121 to move in the dislocation direction. Similarly, at least one of the second protrusion 29 and the second protrusion 122 is a deformable elastic structure, and it is only necessary to make the rebound force of the second protrusion 29 / the second protrusion 122 always smaller than the contact force between the second protrusion 29 and the second protrusion 122, then in the absence of any external force, the second protrusion 29 always interferes with the second protrusion 122 to move in the dislocation direction, so that the lock structure 2 can always remain in the locked state.

[0070] The installation process of the support base 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0071] First, the first protrusion 121 on the support base 100 is brought into contact with the third clamping portion 13, and the first protrusion 121 is pushed into the first locking groove 23 along the extension direction of the third clamping portion 13. Then, the support base 100 is flipped over so that the second protrusion 122 is also brought into contact with the third clamping portion 13. At this time, the support base 100 can be flipped and fixed. Finally, the second protrusion 122 is pushed into the second locking groove 24 along the other direction in which the third clamping portion 13 extends, and the first protrusion 121 is disengaged from the first locking groove 23. At this time, the support base 100 cannot be flipped over and is fixed on the box body 200.

[0072] The disassembly process of the support base 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0073] First, the second protrusion 122 is disengaged from the second locking groove 24, and the first protrusion 121 is pushed into the first locking groove 23. Then, the support base 100 is turned over so that the second protrusion 122 is not located between the first clamping portion 11 and the third clamping portion 13. Finally, the first protrusion 121 is disengaged from the first locking groove 23, and the entire support base 100 is taken out to complete the disassembly work.
