Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of assembly parts, in particular to a connecting part and a car. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the automobile industry, modern cars are becoming more and more rounded and smooth in pursuit of beautiful appearance and economical applicability. The streamlined design of the whole vehicle can not only make the whole vehicle look beautiful, but also reduce wind resistance, thereby improving economy. Therefore, the streamlined body design in the current automobile market is increasing. However, the design of the streamlined body also brings some problems. One of the problems is that decorative panels need to be installed on the surface of various components in the car. However, when the body is streamlined, the sheet metal of various components inside the body is also mostly curved. As a large-area covering part, the decorative panel is not easy to fix during installation and is difficult to install. In addition, the assembly space between the decorative panel and the internal components of the body is also relatively narrow, which further increases the difficulty of installing the decorative panel. It greatly affects the processing efficiency of workers and increases product costs and processing time.

[0003] The solution usually adopted in the prior art is: first, a welding nut is reserved on the outer surface of the part of the body in white to which the decorative panel is to be fixed. During assembly, the welding nut is fixedly connected to the connecting piece by bolts, and then the connecting piece is connected to the decorative panel by self-tapping screws. In this way, the decorative panel is fixed to the part to be fixed more firmly. Among them, the connecting piece is set as a fixing bracket, and the fixing bracket is provided with a first connecting hole matched with the bolt, and a second connecting hole matched with the self-tapping screw.

[0004] The main problem with this assembly method is that during processing, the bolts and welding nuts need to be assembled in a relatively narrow assembly space between the decorative panel and the component to which the decorative panel is to be fixed. Installation tools are required to ensure sufficient preload, but it is difficult to place installation tools in a small space, making it difficult for workers to assemble. In addition, during the assembly process, a single self-tapping screw cannot prevent the decorative panel from rotating, which further increases the difficulty of processing for workers, resulting in low production efficiency, which is not conducive to mass production of products and cost control. In addition, the later disassembly and assembly by users and maintenance personnel is also more complicated.

[0005] It can be seen that the connectors provided in the prior art cannot provide a good fixing effect while also being easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a connecting piece and a car, which solves the problem that the connecting piece provided in the prior art cannot have the characteristic of being easy to install while having a good fixing effect.

[0007] The utility model provides a connector for fixedly connecting a first component and a second component. A fastener is provided on the first component. The connector comprises a connecting body, the connecting body is provided with an installation space, and the installation space extends to the bottom surface of the connecting body in a first direction. The installation space has an opening and a positioning hole connected with the opening, and the opening is located on the bottom surface of the connecting body, so that the head of the fastener on the first component can enter and exit the positioning hole.

[0008] A spring sheet is provided in the installation space, and the spring sheet is configured to clamp the fastener located at the positioning hole into the positioning hole, so as to fix the connection body to the first component through the spring sheet, the positioning hole and the fastener. The connection body is provided with a card slot, and the card slot is used to clamp and fix the second component, so as to fix the connection body to the second component.

[0009] With the above structure, when the second component (for example, the decorative panel on the car) is installed on the first component (the part of the car body where the decorative panel is to be installed), the connector is first fixed to the first component, specifically, the connector is placed at a position where the opening is aligned with the head of the fastener on the first component, so that the head of the fastener enters the installation space of the connector through the opening, and the fastener on the first component can be slid into the positioning hole of the connector by sliding the connector, and the fastener located at the positioning hole is clamped in the positioning hole by the spring sheet, thereby completing the fixing of the connector to the first component. Then, the second component is clamped and fixed to the slot of the connector, thereby completing the fixing of the second component to the connector. That is, the fixing of the first component to the second component is finally completed. The whole operation is relatively simple, and all assembly actions can be completed without the help of other installation tools. Therefore, in the case of limited assembly space, the difficulty of operation of the assembler can be reduced, the labor intensity of the assembler is greatly reduced, manpower and working hours are saved, assembly efficiency is improved, and assembly cost is reduced. It is also easy for users and maintenance personnel to repair and replace later.

[0010] Therefore, the connecting piece provided by the utility model can achieve a good fixing effect and also be easy to install.

[0011] In some embodiments, the side wall of the locating hole that matches the head of the fastener is provided with a stepped structure. By providing the stepped structure, the fastener is better matched to further limit the displacement of the fastener in the first direction, thereby strengthening the fixing ability of the locating hole to the fastener.

[0012] In some embodiments, the installation space extends along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The spring sheet and the opening are located at one end of the installation space along the second direction, and in the first direction, the spring sheet is located on the side of the opening away from the first component, and the positioning hole is located at the other end of the installation space along the second direction. During assembly, it is only necessary to make the fastener squeeze the spring sheet in the first direction to cause a slight deformation of the spring sheet, and then slide the connector until the fastener is located in the positioning hole, and the spring sheet automatically pops up and fixes the fastener. During installation, the sound and feel of the spring sheet popping up after installation can be used to ensure that the assembly is in place without visual inspection throughout the process. This further reduces the difficulty of assembly.

[0013] In some embodiments, two guide rails are further provided in the installation space between the opening and the positioning hole, and the two guide rails are arranged at a relative interval in the third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. Each of the two guide rails has a guide surface, and the guide surface has a first end and a second end. In the second direction, the opening, the first end of the guide surface, the second end of the guide surface, and the positioning hole are arranged in sequence, and from the first end to the second end of the guide surface, the guide surface extends in the first direction away from the bottom surface of the connecting body. When installing, as the first component and the connector move relative to each other, the deformation of the spring sheet gradually increases until the spring sheet automatically releases the abutment fastener after being installed in place. The self-positioning ability of the connector during installation is further improved, the difficulty of installing the connector is reduced to a minimum, and the optimization effect is maximized.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connection body includes a mounting bracket and a card plate, one end of the card plate is connected to the mounting bracket, and the other end is a free end. A card slot is formed around the top surface of the card plate and the mounting bracket, the mounting space is provided on the mounting bracket, and the bottom surface of the mounting bracket constitutes the bottom surface of the connection body. By providing the card plate and the mounting bracket, the structure can be relatively simple, and the card plate is also relatively easy to operate.

[0015] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on the surface of the clamping piece facing the mounting bracket, and the protrusion extends in the direction of the mounting bracket. A receiving groove is provided on the surface of the second component that cooperates with the protrusion, and the protrusion is used to be clamped in the receiving groove of the second component. During installation, the protrusion cooperates with the receiving groove, thereby further improving the self-positioning ability of the clamping piece. During installation, only one side of the second component needs to be inserted, and when it is installed in place, the protrusion automatically enters the receiving groove. The installation can be clearly perceived by sound and feel. This minimizes the difficulty of installing the second component in the clamping groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket is provided with an anti-rotation structure, which includes two anti-rotation arms, each of which extends outward from a side of the notch of the mounting bracket away from the slot in the third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, one end of the two anti-rotation arms being connected to the mounting bracket, and the other end being used to abut against the first component. From one end to the other end of the two anti-rotation arms, the two anti-rotation arms gradually move away from each other in the second direction. In this way, after the connector is installed in place, relative rotation between the connector and the fastener can also be prevented. After the connector is installed in place, the degree of freedom of the connector is limited as much as possible. Thus, a stable platform can be provided when fixing the second component.

[0017] In some embodiments, the clamping piece includes a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion, the first clamping portion and the top surface of the mounting bracket are surrounded to form a clamping groove. The second clamping portion includes two clamping arms spaced apart in the second direction, one end of each of the two clamping arms is connected to one end of the first clamping portion, and the other end is set as a free end, and each clamping arm is bent to form a fixing groove, and the gap between one end and the other end of each clamping arm constitutes a notch of the fixing groove.

[0018] The mounting bracket is provided with two extension platforms, which are formed by extending outwards from both ends of the mounting bracket in the second direction, and each of the two extension platforms is clamped in the fixing groove of the corresponding clamping arm in the first direction.

[0019] Through such a structure, the clamping piece and the mounting bracket can be fixed together relatively firmly, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connecting piece as a whole, and thus ensuring the fixing effect of the first component and the second component.

[0020] In some embodiments, the card connector is an integrated structure and is configured as a metal spring structure. The mounting bracket and the two extension platforms are an integrated structure and are configured as a plastic structure. The more complex parts are configured as a plastic structure for ease of processing, while the card connector is configured as a metal spring structure, which is conducive to a simple structure, convenient use and low cost. This reduces the overall cost and processing difficulty of the connector.

[0021] The utility model also provides a car, comprising an A-pillar sheet metal and an A-pillar decorative plate, and also comprising the connecting piece provided by any of the above embodiments. The A-pillar sheet metal is the first component, and the A-pillar decorative plate is the second component. This is conducive to the installation of the A-pillar decorative plate without the need for installation tools, reducing the installation difficulty of the A-pillar decorative plate, and reducing the processing cost and required working hours of the whole vehicle. It is also conducive to the later user or maintenance personnel to disassemble, repair or replace the A-pillar decorative plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] In order to solve the problem that the connectors provided in the prior art cannot have a good fixing effect and the characteristic of being easy to install, the utility model proposes a connector and a car. When fixing the second component to the first component, the whole operation is relatively simple, and all assembly actions can be completed without the help of other installation tools. Therefore, in the case of limited assembly space, it can reduce the difficulty of operation for assemblers, greatly reduce the labor intensity of assemblers, save manpower and working hours, improve assembly efficiency, and reduce assembly costs. It is also easy for users and maintenance personnel to repair and replace later. Furthermore, it can take into account the characteristic of being easy to install while having a good fixing effect.

[0056] The connector provided by the utility model can be applied to automobiles, which may include but are not limited to SUVs, sedans, and sports cars. It should be noted that the connector can also be applied to other fields besides automobiles, and the utility model does not limit this. The application scenarios of the connector are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional matching schematic diagram of the connecting member, the first component and the second component in the automobile of the embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2a It is a schematic diagram of the plane matching of the connecting member, the first component and the second component in the automobile of the embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2b This is a schematic diagram of the plane matching of the connecting piece and the fastener in the automobile according to the embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of a fastener on a first component in an automobile according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0058] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the automobile includes a first component 4 and a second component 5, and a fastener 41 is provided on the first component 4. In one embodiment, the first component 4 may be an A-pillar sheet metal, and the second component 5 may be an A-pillar decorative plate. The fastener 41 may be a bolt reserved on the A-pillar sheet metal and fixedly connected thereto. The fastener 41 has a head 411, and the head 411 of the fastener 41 is the portion of the fastener 41 away from the first component 4.

[0059] It should be noted that in some other alternative embodiments, the first component 4 may also be other sheet metal parts inside the car, such as B-pillar sheet metal or C-pillar sheet metal, and the second component 5 may also be a B-pillar decorative panel or a C-pillar decorative panel, etc. The present invention is not limited here.

[0060] For the convenience of description, the following example is given in which the first component 4 is an A-pillar sheet metal and the second component 5 is an A-pillar decorative panel.

[0061] See also Figure 4-Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting piece of an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the matching of the connecting piece and the fastener according to the embodiment of the utility model.

[0062] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2a , Figure 2b It is understood that the embodiment of the present utility model provides a connecting member 1 for fixedly connecting a first component 4 and a second component 5. A fastener 41 is provided on the first component 4.

[0063] The connector 1 includes a connector body 11, and the connector body 11 includes an installation space 30, and the installation space 30 extends to the bottom surface 11A of the connector body in the first direction z. The bottom surface 11A of the connector body here is the side of the connector 1 facing the fastener 41. The installation space 30 has an opening 31 and a positioning hole 32 connected to the opening 31. The opening 31 is located on the bottom surface 11A of the connector body, so that the head 411 of the fastener 41 on the first component 4 can enter and exit the positioning hole 32.

[0064] A spring piece 311 is also provided in the installation space 30 , and the spring piece 311 is configured to clamp the fastener 41 located at the positioning hole 32 into the positioning hole 32 , so as to fix the connecting body 11 to the first component 4 through the spring piece 311 , the positioning hole 32 , and the fastener 41 .

[0065] It can be understood here that the head 411 of the fastener 41 is relatively large, so the installation space 30 is provided with a relatively large opening 31 for the fastener 41 to penetrate, and the rear positioning hole 32 is relatively small. During installation, the fastener 41 can be slid into the relatively small positioning hole 32 by sliding the connector 1, thereby completing the installation and positioning relatively simply.

[0066] When the second component 5 is installed on the first component 4, the connector 1 is first fixed to the first component 4. Specifically, the connector 1 is placed at a position where the opening 31 is aligned with the head 411 of the fastener 41 on the first component 4, so that the head 411 of the fastener 41 enters the installation space 30 of the connector 1 through the opening 31. By sliding the connector 1, the fastener 41 on the first component 4 can be slid into the positioning hole 32 of the connector 1, and the fastener 41 located at the positioning hole 32 is clamped in the positioning hole 32 by the spring 311, thereby completing the fixing of the connector 1 to the first component 4. Then, the second component 5 is clamped and fixed to the card slot 2 of the connector 1, thereby completing the fixing of the second component 5 to the connector 1. That is, the fixing of the first component 4 and the second component 5 is finally completed. The whole operation is relatively simple, and all assembly actions can be completed without the help of other installation tools. Therefore, in the case of limited assembly space, the difficulty of operation of the assembler can be reduced, the labor intensity of the assembler is greatly reduced, manpower and working hours are saved, assembly efficiency is improved, and assembly cost is reduced. It is also easy for users and maintenance personnel to repair and replace it later.

[0067] Therefore, the connecting piece provided by the utility model can achieve a good fixing effect and also be easy to install.

[0068] The above is a basic description of the embodiment of the utility model. The structure and function of each component that may be included will be described in detail below.

[0069] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, combined with Figure 1-2b It is understood that in one embodiment, the connection body 11 includes a mounting bracket 3 and a snap-on piece 21, and the snap-on piece 21 and the top surface 3B of the mounting bracket are surrounded by the aforementioned card slot 2. The mounting space 30 is provided on the mounting bracket 3. The bottom surface 3A of the mounting bracket constitutes the bottom surface 11A of the connection body. Or it can be understood that: the connection body 11 of the connector 1 mainly includes two parts, namely the mounting bracket 3 and the snap-on piece 21, and the mounting bracket 3 mainly cooperates with the first component 4 to fix the connector 1 to the first component 4. The snap-on piece 21 mainly cooperates with the second component 5 and snaps the second component 5 into the card slot 2. By providing the snap-on piece 21 and the mounting bracket 3, the structure can be made relatively simple, and the snap-on piece is also relatively easy to operate.

[0070] First, the specific structure of the mounting bracket is described.

[0071] See also Figure 6-Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting bracket in the connecting piece of the embodiment of the utility model; Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the installation space in the connecting piece of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0072] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the side wall 321 of the positioning hole 32 of the connector 1 that matches the head 411 of the fastener 41 is set to a stepped structure. Or it can be understood that: when the fastener 41 is a bolt, the part of the side wall 321 of the positioning hole 32 that matches the bolt can be set to a stepped structure corresponding to the shape of the bolt head. In order to further limit the displacement of the fastener 41 in the first direction z, the fixing ability of the positioning hole 32 to the fastener 41 is strengthened.

[0073] The above is a further description of the positioning holes. The following will describe the matching relationship between the various parts in the installation space.

[0074] It should be noted that the matching relationship between the various parts in the installation space is not limited.

[0075] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of the matching of the mounting bracket and the fastener in the connecting piece of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the installation space 30 extends along the second direction x. And the spring piece 311 and the opening 31 are located at one end of the installation space 30 along the second direction x. In the first direction z, the spring piece 311 is located on the side of the opening 31 away from the first component 4. The positioning hole 32 is located on the other side of the installation space 30 along the second direction x. Or it can be understood that: the installation space 30 here extends along the length direction of the connecting member. In the installation space 30, in the length direction of the connecting member, the spring piece 311 and the opening 31 are located at one end. The positioning hole 32 is located at the other end opposite thereto. In the height direction of the connecting member, the spring piece 311 is located on the side of the opening 31 away from the bottom surface 3A of the mounting bracket. During assembly, it is only necessary to make the fastener 41 squeeze the spring piece 311 in the first direction z to cause the spring piece 311 to be slightly deformed, and then slide the connecting member 1 until the fastener 41 is located in the positioning hole 32, and the spring piece 311 automatically pops up and fixes the fastener 41. During installation, the difference in sound and feel of the spring sheet 311 after installation can be used to ensure that the assembly is in place without visual inspection throughout the process, further reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0077] Furthermore, in order to facilitate installation, a guide rail may be provided between the opening 31 and the positioning hole 32 to enhance the guiding performance. The guide rail that may be included in the connector is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0078] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, combined with Figure 8 It is understood that in one embodiment, two guide rails 301 are further provided in the installation space 30 between the opening 31 and the positioning hole 32, and the two guide rails 301 are spaced apart in the third direction y. Each of the two guide rails 301 has a guide surface 3011, and each guide surface 3011 has a first end 3011A and a second end 3011B. In the second direction x, the opening 31, the first end 3011A of the guide surface 3011, the second end 3011B of the guide surface 3011 and the positioning hole 32 are arranged in sequence. From the first end 3011A to the second end 3011B of the guide surface 3011, it extends in the first direction z in a direction away from the bottom surface 11A of the connection body. Or it can be understood that: two guide rails 301 are provided between the opening 31 and the positioning hole 32, and both guide rails 301 extend obliquely upward. During installation, as the first component 4 and the connector 1 move relative to each other, the deformation of the spring sheet 311 gradually increases until the spring sheet 311 automatically releases and abuts against the fastener 41 after being installed in place. This further improves the self-positioning ability of the connector during installation, reduces the installation difficulty of the connector to a minimum, and maximizes the optimization effect.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the problem of relative translation between the fastener 41 and the connecting member 1 is solved, but relative rotation between the two may still occur during installation, causing installation difficulties. Therefore, an anti-rotation structure may be provided on the connecting member.

[0080] like Figure 6 As shown, combined with Figure 1 It is understood that, in one embodiment, the mounting bracket 3 is further provided with an anti-rotation structure 34. The anti-rotation structure 34 includes two anti-rotation arms 341, each of which extends outward from one side of the mounting bracket 3 away from the notch of the card slot 2 in the third direction y. One end of the two anti-rotation arms 341 is connected to the mounting bracket 3, and the other end is used to abut against the first component 4. And from one end to the other end of the two anti-rotation arms 341, the two anti-rotation arms 341 gradually move away in the second direction x. Or it can be understood that: the mounting bracket 3 is also provided with two anti-rotation arms 341 for abutting the first component 4. The two anti-rotation arms 341 are arranged oppositely and connected to the mounting bracket 3, and gradually move away from each other in the second direction x. In this way, after the connecting member 1 is installed in place, the relative rotation between the connecting member 1 and the fastener 41 can also be prevented. So that after the connecting member 1 is installed in place, the degree of freedom of the connecting member 1 is restricted as much as possible. Thereby, a stable platform can be provided when the second component 5 is fixed.

[0081] It should be noted that the connection method of the mounting bracket 3 and the anti-rotation structure 34 is not limited. In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 3 and the anti-rotation structure 34 can be an integrated structure formed in one piece. In another alternative embodiment, the mounting bracket 3 and the anti-rotation structure 34 can also be a split structure fixedly connected by a snap connection or the like. The utility model does not make any limitation here.

[0082] Furthermore, the two anti-rotation arms 341 may be symmetrically arranged in the second direction x, so that the abutment is more stable and the anti-rotation capability is stronger.

[0083] The above is a description of the mounting bracket in the connector. The following is a detailed description of the mounting plate with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the card connecting piece in the connecting piece in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0085] One end of the clamping piece 21 is connected to the mounting bracket 3, and the other end is a free end. The clamping piece 21 and the top surface 3B of the mounting bracket are surrounded to form a clamping groove 2. Or it can be understood that the clamping piece 21 is an elastic component, one end of which is connected to the mounting bracket 3, and the other end forms the aforementioned clamping groove 2 with the mounting bracket 3. And the clamping piece 21 has a clamping force toward the clamping groove 2 in the first direction z to clamp and fix the second component.

[0086] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the specific structure of the aforementioned card connecting piece 21 is also not limited.

[0087] Further, such as Fig. 9 As shown, combined with Figure 1 It is understood. For the convenience of installation, in one embodiment, a protrusion 221 is further provided on the surface of the clamping piece 21 facing the mounting bracket 3, and the protrusion 221 extends in the direction of the mounting bracket 3. Correspondingly, a portion of the surface of the second component 5 that cooperates with the protrusion 221 is provided with a receiving groove 51, and the protrusion 221 is used to be clamped in the receiving groove 51 of the second component 5. Or it can be understood that: there is a protrusion 221 on the clamping piece 21 facing the mounting bracket 3 for positioning, and correspondingly, a receiving groove 51 is opened on the second component 5. The two cooperate during installation, thereby further improving the self-positioning ability of the clamping piece 21. During installation, only one side of the second component 5 needs to be inserted, and when it is installed in place, the protrusion 221 automatically enters the receiving groove 51. The installation can be clearly perceived by sound and feel. Thereby, the difficulty of installing the second component 5 in the clamping slot 2 is minimized.

[0088] The above is an explanation of the clamping piece 21 in the connector. It should be noted that the matching method between the clamping piece 21 and the mounting bracket 3 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, the clamping piece 21 and the mounting bracket 3 can be an integrally formed structure. In another alternative embodiment, an opening is reserved on the mounting bracket 3, and the clamping piece 21 is inserted into the opening and fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3. The utility model is not limited here. An exemplary embodiment is provided below.

[0089] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10 It is a schematic diagram of the matching structure of the clamping piece and the mounting bracket in the connecting piece in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0090] like Fig.10 As shown, combined with Fig. 9 It is understood that in one embodiment, the clamping piece 21 includes a first clamping portion 22 and a second clamping portion 23, and the first clamping portion 22 and the top surface 3B of the mounting bracket are surrounded to form the clamping slot 2. The second clamping portion 23 includes two clamping arms 231 spaced apart in the second direction x, one end of each clamping arm 231 of the two clamping arms 231 is connected to one end of the first clamping portion 22, and the other end is set as a free end, and each clamping arm 231 is bent to form a fixing slot 230, and the gap between one end and the other end of each clamping arm 231 constitutes a notch of the fixing slot 230.

[0091] The mounting bracket 3 is provided with two extension platforms 35, which are respectively extended outward from the two ends of the mounting bracket 3 in the second direction x, and each of the two extension platforms 35 is clamped in the fixing groove 230 of the corresponding clamping arm 231 in the first direction z. Or it can be understood that: the clamping piece 21 is set as an S-shaped structure, and the first clamping part 22 and the second clamping part 23 are two C-shaped structures that are opposite and connected end to end. The space in the C-shaped structure formed by the first clamping part 22 is used as a clamping groove 2 for clamping the second component. The two clamping arms 231 in the second clamping part 23 each form a C-shaped structure, and respectively clamp the extension platform 35 extending from the mounting bracket 3 in the second direction x, so that the clamping piece 21 and the mounting bracket 3 are fixed to each other and form a connecting piece.

[0092] Through such a structure, the clamping piece 21 and the mounting bracket 3 can be fixed together relatively firmly, ensuring the reliability of the connecting member 1 as a whole, and thus ensuring the fixing effect of the first component and the second component.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to simplify processing and reduce costs, the clamping piece 21 is an integrated structure and is set as a metal spring structure. The mounting bracket 3 and the two extension platforms 35 are an integrated structure and are set as a plastic structure. Setting the clamping piece 21 as a metal spring structure is conducive to simple structure, convenient use and low cost. The more complex mounting bracket 3 is set as a plastic structure for easy processing. Thereby reducing the overall cost and processing difficulty of the connector.

[0094] It should be noted that the above is a description of the possible structure and matching relationship between a single connector 1, a fastener 41, and the first component 4 and the second component 5. During installation, the first component 4 can be provided with a plurality of fasteners 41 to connect with a plurality of connectors 1, and then the second component 5 is clamped by the plurality of connectors 1. This ensures that the installation is firm and the structure is reliable.

[0095] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art may make various changes in form and details, including making several simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
