[0057] The embodiment of the present application provides a connection assembly for furniture. The furniture may be a wardrobe, a table, a bed, a sofa, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the connection assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The connection assembly may include a first connection member 100 and a second connection member 200.

[0059] The first connecting member 100 is provided with a slide groove 11. The slide groove 11 includes a mounting section 111 and a locking section 112, and the second connecting member 200 is provided with a slider 21. The slider 21 can enter the slide groove 11 from the mounting section 111 to form a sliding connection, and the slider 21 can slide from the mounting section 111 to the locking section 112 to be clamped in the locking section 112.

[0060] Then, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the installation steps of the connection component shown. Taking the first connection member 100 above the second connection member 200 as an example, the first connection member 100 can be placed with the notch of the slide groove 11 facing upward, and the second connection member 200 can be placed with the slider 21 facing downward; then, the second connection member 200 is inserted downward into the installation section 111; finally, the second connection member 200 is pushed along the slide groove 11 so that the slider 21 slides from the installation section 111 into the locking section 112 to achieve locking. It can be seen that the connection component of the embodiment of the present application can quickly complete the connection and fixation through the two actions of one insertion and one push of the second connection member 200, and has the advantage of easy installation.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a partial schematic diagram of a piece of furniture provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The partial exploded view of the furniture shown. Taking the furniture including the first component 300 and the second component 400 as an example, the first connecting member 100 can be installed on the first component 300, and the second connecting member 200 can be installed on the second component 400. Then, the first component 300 and the second component 400 can be quickly and conveniently installed through the cooperation of the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the assembly scene of the first connecting member and the first part is shown, Figure 6 for Figure 5 In some embodiments, the outer wall of the first connecting member 100 includes a first top wall 12 and a first annular wall 13. The notch of the slide groove 11 is located on the first top wall 12. The first annular wall 13 is arranged around the first top wall 12, and the first annular wall 13 is protruded with a first limiting structure 14.

[0063] Then, in actual use, the first component 300, which may be furniture, may have a third mounting hole 31 for mounting the first connector 100, so that the first connector 100 is mounted on the first component 300. Accordingly, after the first connector 100 is mounted on the third mounting hole 31, the first top wall 12 is an outer wall of the first connector 100 facing the outside of the third mounting hole 31, so that the slider 21 of the second connector 200 can be inserted into the slide groove 11. In addition, the first limiting structure 14 can cooperate with the inner side wall of the third mounting hole 31 to limit the first connector 100 from exiting the third mounting hole 31, so that the first connector 100 can be more stably and reliably mounted on the first component 300, thereby improving the reliability of the furniture.

[0064] Illustratively, the inner side wall of the third mounting hole 31 may be provided with a first slot 32 cooperating with the first limiting structure 14 , and the first limiting structure 14 may be snapped into the first slot 32 , so that the first connecting member 100 is more stably and reliably mounted on the first component 300 .

[0065] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure 14 includes a first convex rib. Along the direction away from the first top wall 12 , the outer surface of the first convex rib is inclined toward the direction close to the first annular wall 13 .

[0066] Taking the example of the first connecting member 100 being inserted from top to bottom into the third mounting hole 31 for installation, the first connecting member 100 moves downward with the first top wall 12 facing upward. In this process, it can be understood that the upper side of the outer surface of the first convex rib protrudes more from the first annular wall 13 than the lower side, so that the outer surface of the first convex rib forms a guiding slope during the downward movement, so that the first connecting member 100 can be inserted into the third mounting hole 31 more effortlessly.

[0067] It can also be understood that, since the notch of the slide groove 11 is formed on the first top wall 12, and the first annular wall 13 is arranged around the first top wall 12, the main part of the slide groove 11 is located on the inner side of the first annular wall 13. Then, in the process of inserting the first connecting member 100 into the third mounting hole 31 from top to bottom, the inner side wall of the third mounting hole 31 can also exert a reaction force on the first convex rib, so that the part of the first annular wall 13 corresponding to the first convex rib is concavely deformed toward the inside of the slide groove 11. After the first convex rib is installed in place, the part of the first annular wall 13 corresponding to the first convex rib is restored, so that the first limiting structure 14 is engaged in the first slot 32.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first connector 100 is a plastic part, so that the first rib can be easily deformed adaptively during the installation of the first connector 100. In addition, compared with metal parts, plastic parts can also reduce the overall weight and cost of the connection assembly, thereby reducing the overall weight and cost of the entire furniture.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure 14 includes a plurality of first convex ribs. At least some of the first convex ribs are arranged in a direction away from the first top wall 12. Thus, a multiple bite structure between the first annular wall 13 and the inner wall of the third mounting hole 31 can be formed by the plurality of first convex ribs, so that the first connector 100 can be installed more stably and reliably.

[0070] Exemplarily, the number of the first ribs may be two, three, four, five, seven, nine or even fifteen, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0071] It should also be noted that at least part of the first ribs are arranged in a direction away from the first top wall 12, all of the first ribs may be arranged in a direction away from the first top wall 12, or part of the first ribs may be arranged in a direction away from the first top wall 12 and part of the first ribs may be arranged at circumferential intervals along the first annular wall 13, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first limiting structures 14 are located on both sides of the first connecting member 100 along the length direction.

[0073] It is understandable that, since the first limiting structure 14 is protruding from the first annular wall 13, in order to allow the first limiting structure 14 to be inserted into the third mounting hole 31, a larger first reserved gap needs to be reserved between the first annular wall 13 and the inner side wall of the third mounting hole 31 facing the side where the first limiting structure 14 is located. In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting structure 14 is located on both sides of the first connecting member 100 along the length direction, which means that the first limiting structure 14 extends along the width direction of the first connecting member 100, and the corresponding first reserved gap also extends along the width direction of the first connecting member 100. Then, compared with the first reserved gap also extending along the length direction of the first connecting member 100, the embodiment of the present application can make the first reserved gap shorter, thereby avoiding the overly long first reserved gap affecting the aesthetics and reliability of the first connecting member 100 after installation.

[0074] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first limiting structure 14 may be located on both sides of the first connecting member 100 along the width direction, or the first connecting member 100 may be provided with a first limiting structure 14 on at least one side along the width direction and at least one side along the length direction, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first annular wall 13 further has a protruding first shielding portion 15. The first shielding portion 15 is located on a side of the first limiting structure 14 close to the first top wall 12 to shield the first limiting structure 14. Therefore, compared with the direct exposure of the matching structure between the first limiting structure 14 and the inner wall of the third mounting hole 31, the embodiment of the present application can improve the aesthetics and reliability of the first connector 100 after installation.

[0076] With the first limiting structure 14 located on both sides of the first connecting member 100 along the length direction, the first annular wall 13 may be provided with a first shielding portion 15 on each side of the first connecting member 100 along the length direction, so that the first connecting member 100 is in a T-shaped structure as a whole.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first shielding portion 15 is provided with a first mounting hole 151 .

[0078] Therefore, after the first connector 100 is inserted into the third mounting hole 31, according to actual installation requirements, a first fastener (such as a screw) can be further inserted into the first mounting hole 151 and connected to the first component 300 to further improve the stability of the installation of the first connector 100. At this time, it can also be understood that the first shielding portion 15 is reused for the installation and fixation of the first connector 100, so that the overall structure of the first connector 100 is simpler and the cost is lower, and finally the connection assembly is more suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of the first connecting member from another perspective is shown. In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the chute 11 is provided with a hollow structure 16. Then, the hollow structure 16 can reduce the strength of the bottom wall of the chute 11, and then in the process of the slider 21 sliding from the installation section 111 to the locking section 112, the bottom wall and the inner wall of the chute 11 are more likely to deform, thereby preventing the slider 21 from being stuck by the inner wall of the chute 11 and being unable to slide to the locking section 112.

[0080] In some embodiments, the hollow structure 16 is at least partially located in the locking section 112. It is understandable that since the slide 11 is mainly connected to the slider 21 through the locking section 112, the hollow structure 16 is at least partially located in the locking section 112 to avoid the slider 21 being unable to enter due to the locking section 112 being too narrow.

[0081] Continuing with the example that the first connector 100 is a plastic part, the first connector 100 can be injection molded. Therefore, after the first connector 100 is formed, the inner wall of the locking section 112 usually shrinks, so that the spacing between the inner walls of the locking section 112 is narrower than the pre-designed spacing, resulting in the slider 21 being unable to slide into the locking section 112. In contrast, in the embodiment of the present application, since the hollow structure 16 is at least partially located in the locking section 112, the inner wall of the locking section 112 can more easily deform adaptively to allow the slider 21 to enter.

[0082] In some embodiments, the hollow structure 16 extends from one end of the mounting section 111 close to the locking section 112 to the end of the locking section 112 away from the mounting section 111. That is to say, the portion of the bottom wall of the chute 11 located in the middle of the mounting section 111 and the portion located at the end of the mounting section 111 away from the locking section 112 are not hollowed out. Therefore, compared with the complete hollowing of the bottom wall of the chute 11, the embodiment of the present application ensures the overall strength of the inner wall of the chute 11 on the basis that the slider 21 can slide smoothly into the locking section 112.

[0083] In particular, when the first connecting member 100 is injection molded, if the bottom wall of the slide groove 11 is completely hollowed out, it means that the inner wall of the slide groove 11 lacks the support of the bottom wall. Then, after the first connecting member 100 is cooled, the inner wall of the slide groove 11 will shrink more seriously, and it may even cause the slider 21 to be unable to be inserted into the slide groove 11 from the installation section 111.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 , Figure 8 for Figure 5 The structural diagram of the connection component is shown in the state of being installed in place. Fig. 9 for Figure 8 The cross-sectional view of the connecting assembly along the AA direction is shown. In some embodiments, the slot width of the locking section 112 is smaller than the slot bottom width, so that the slider 21 can be clamped between the inner walls on both sides of the locking section 112 along the slot width direction.

[0085] For example, along the slot opening direction close to the slide slot 11, at least one inner wall of the locking section 112 along the slot width direction is tilted inward, so that the locking section 112 is in a dovetail slot shape. Then, the slider 21 can be a dovetail slider that matches the locking section 112. Therefore, after the slider 21 slides into the locking section 112, the slider 21 can be restricted from being pulled out from the slot opening of the slide slot 11, so that the slider 21 is engaged in the locking section 112.

[0086] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross section of the locking section 112 may be T-shaped, so that the slot width of the locking section 112 is smaller than the slot bottom width. Correspondingly, the slider 21 is also a T-shaped slot, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0087] In some embodiments, the width of the slot of the mounting section 111 is greater than the maximum width of the slider 21, and the width of the slot of the locking section 112 is less than the maximum width of the slider 21. Therefore, the slider 21 can be first inserted from the slot of the mounting section 111 or into the mounting section 111; then, the slider 21 slides from the mounting section 111 into the locking section 112, so that the slider 21 is engaged with the locking section 112 and cannot be pulled out from the slot of the locking section 112.

[0088] like Figure 7 As shown, since the slot width of the mounting section 111 is correspondingly greater than the slot width of the locking section 112, there must be a step surface 17 between the inner wall of the mounting section 111 and the inner wall of the locking section 112. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the inner wall of the locking section 112 and the step surface 17 can be adaptively deformed by at least partially positioning the hollow structure 16 in the mounting section 111, thereby preventing the slider 21 from being stuck at the step surface 17 and being unable to enter the locking section 112.

[0089] In some embodiments, at least one inner wall of the slide groove 11 along the groove width direction is provided with a step surface 17. The step surface 17 is connected to the inner wall of the locking section 112 near the mounting section 111, and a first chamfer 171 is provided at the connection between the step surface 17 and the inner wall of the locking section 112. Therefore, when the slider 21 slides from the mounting section 111 into the locking section 112, the slider 21 can first abut against the first chamfer 171 of the step surface 17, so that the slider 21 can slide smoothly into the locking section 112 under the guidance of the first chamfer 171, thereby facilitating the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0090] Please refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig.10 for Figure 8A schematic diagram of the structure of the second connector of the connecting assembly shown. In some embodiments, the slider 21 includes a first outer wall 211. The first outer wall 211 is extended along the sliding direction of the slider 21. The first outer wall 211 is used to abut against the inner wall of the locking section 112 so that the slider 21 is clamped in the locking section 112. Along the sliding direction of the slider 21, at least one end of the first outer wall 211 is provided with a second chamfer 212. Thus, in the process of the slider 21 sliding from the mounting section 111 into the locking section 112, the slider 21 can abut against the step surface 17 at the second chamfer 212, so that the slider 21 can slide smoothly into the locking section 112 under the guidance of the second chamfer 212, and finally facilitate the assembly of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0091] The above is an illustrative description of some matching structures of the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 in the embodiment of the present application. The following will continue to exemplify the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application in combination with some other structures of the second connecting member 200.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second connector 200 includes a mounting portion 22. The outer wall of the mounting portion 22 includes a second top wall 221 and a second annular wall 222. The slider 21 is disposed on the second top wall 221. The second annular wall 222 is disposed around the second top wall 221. The second annular wall 222 is provided with a second limiting structure 223.

[0093] Then, please combine Fig.10 and Fig.11 , Fig.11 for Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the assembly scene of the second connector and the second part. In actual use, the second part 400 of the furniture may have a fourth mounting hole 41 for mounting the second connector 200, so that the second connector 200 is mounted on the second part 400. Correspondingly, after the second connector 200 is mounted on the fourth mounting hole 41, the second top wall 221 is the outer wall of the second connector 200 facing the outside of the fourth mounting hole 41, so that the slider 21 of the second connector 200 is exposed so that it can be inserted into the slide groove 11 of the first connector 100. In addition, the second limiting structure 223 can cooperate with the inner side wall of the fourth mounting hole 41 to limit the second connector 200 from withdrawing from the fourth mounting hole 41, so that the second connector 200 can be more stably and reliably mounted on the second part 400, thereby improving the reliability of the furniture.

[0094] Illustratively, the inner side wall of the fourth mounting hole 41 may be provided with a second card slot 42 cooperating with the second limiting structure 223, and the second limiting structure 223 can be snapped into the second card slot 42, so that the second connecting member 200 can be more stably and reliably installed in the fourth mounting hole 41 of the second component 400.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second limiting structure 223 includes a second convex rib, and along a direction away from the second top wall 221 , an outer surface of the second convex rib is inclined toward a direction close to the second annular wall 222 .

[0096] Taking the second connector 200 being inserted from bottom to top into the fourth mounting hole 41 for installation as an example, the second connector 200 moves upward with the second top wall 221 facing downward. In this process, it can be understood that the lower side of the outer surface of the second convex rib protrudes more than the upper side from the second annular wall 222, so that the outer surface of the second convex rib forms a guiding slope during the upward movement, so that the second connector 200 can be inserted into the fourth mounting hole 41 more effortlessly.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second connector 200 is a plastic part, so that the second rib can be easily deformed adaptively during the installation of the second connector 200. In addition, compared with metal parts, plastic parts can also reduce the overall weight and cost of the connection assembly, thereby reducing the overall weight and cost of the entire furniture.

[0098] In some embodiments, the second limiting structure 223 includes a plurality of second convex ribs. At least some of the second convex ribs are arranged in a direction away from the second top wall 221. Thus, a multiple bite structure between the second annular wall 222 and the inner wall of the fourth mounting hole 41 can be formed by the plurality of second convex ribs, so that the second connecting member 200 can be installed more stably and reliably.

[0099] Exemplarily, the number of the second convex ribs may be two, three, four, five, seven, nine or even fifteen, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0100] It should also be noted that at least part of the second ribs are arranged in a direction away from the second top wall 221, all of the second ribs may be arranged in a direction away from the second top wall 221, or part of the second ribs may be arranged in a direction away from the second top wall 221 and part of the second ribs may be arranged at circumferential intervals along the second annular wall 222, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0101] In some embodiments, the second limiting structures 223 are located on both sides of the second connecting member 200 along the length direction.

[0102] It is understandable that, since the second limiting structure 223 is protruding from the second annular wall 222, in order to allow the second limiting structure 223 to be inserted into the fourth mounting hole 41, a larger second reserved gap needs to be reserved between the second annular wall 222 and the inner side wall of the fourth mounting hole 41 facing the second limiting structure 223. In the embodiment of the present application, the second limiting structure 223 is located on both sides of the second connecting member 200 along the length direction, which means that the second limiting structure 223 extends along the width direction of the second connecting member 200, and accordingly, the second reserved gap also extends along the width direction of the second connecting member 200. Then, compared with the second reserved gap also extending along the length direction of the second connecting member 200, the embodiment of the present application can make the second reserved gap shorter, thereby avoiding the overly long second reserved gap affecting the aesthetics and reliability of the second connecting member 200 after installation.

[0103] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second limiting structure 223 may be located on both sides of the second connecting member 200 along the width direction, or the second connecting member 200 may be provided with a second limiting structure 223 on at least one side along the width direction and at least one side along the length direction, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0104] In some embodiments, the second annular wall 222 further protrudes with a second shielding portion 23. The second shielding portion 23 is located on a side of the second limiting structure 223 close to the second top wall 221 to shield the second limiting structure 223. Therefore, compared with the direct exposure of the matching structure between the second limiting structure 223 and the inner wall of the fourth mounting hole 41, the embodiment of the present application can improve the aesthetics and reliability of the second connecting member 200 after installation.

[0105] The second limiting structure 223 is located on both sides of the second connecting member 200 along the length direction, and the second annular wall 222 is provided with a second shielding portion 23 on each side of the second connecting member 200 along the length direction, so that the mounting portion 22 and the second shielding portion 23 can be in a T-shaped structure as a whole.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second shielding portion 23 is provided with a second mounting hole 231. Thus, according to actual installation requirements, after the second connector 200 is inserted into the fourth mounting hole 41, a second fastener (such as a screw) can be further inserted into the fourth mounting hole 41 and connected to the second component 400 to further improve the stability of the installation of the second connector 200. At this time, it can also be understood that the second shielding portion 23 is reused for the installation and fixation of the second connector 200, so that the overall structure of the second connector 200 is simpler and the cost is lower, and finally the connection assembly is more suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0107] Please continue to refer to Fig.12 , Fig.12 for Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second connecting member of the connecting assembly from another perspective. In some embodiments, a groove 234 is provided on the side of the mounting portion 22 away from the second top wall 221. Therefore, compared with the mounting portion 22 being a solid structure, the groove 234 can reduce the overall weight and cost of the connecting assembly, and thus can also reduce the overall weight and cost of the entire furniture.

[0108] Of course, since the groove 234 is located on the inner side of the second annular wall 222, during the process of inserting the mounting portion of the second connector 200 into the fourth mounting hole 41, the inner side wall of the fourth mounting hole 41 can also exert a reaction force on the second convex rib, so that the portion of the second annular wall 222 corresponding to the second convex rib is deformed toward the groove 234. After the second convex rib is installed in place, the portion of the second annular wall 222 corresponding to the second convex rib is restored, so that the second limiting structure 223 is engaged in the second slot 42.

[0109] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 is further provided with reinforcing ribs 235 , and the reinforcing ribs 235 are respectively connected to the inner walls on both sides of the groove 234 in the width direction.

[0110] Continuing to take the injection molding of the second connector 200 as an example, if the reinforcing rib 235 is not provided in the groove 234, it means that the inner walls on both sides of the width direction of the groove 234 lack support, and then after the second connector 200 is cooled, the inner walls on both sides of the width direction of the groove 234 will shrink severely, which may cause the second component 400 to be unable to match and fix with the inner wall of the fourth mounting hole 41. It can be seen that the second connector 200 implemented in the present application has the advantages of stable and reliable installation.

[0111] An embodiment of the present application also provides a piece of furniture, which may have the above-mentioned connection assembly.

[0112] For example, the furniture may further include a first component 300 and a second component 400, wherein the first connector 100 is mounted on the first component 300, and the second connector 200 is mounted on the second component 400. Then, the first component 300 and the second component 400 can be assembled quickly and conveniently by the cooperation of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

[0113] In some embodiments, the specific connection structure between the first component 300 and the first connector 100 can refer to the specific connection structure between the first component 300 and the first connector 100, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described in detail here.

[0114] In some embodiments, the specific connection structure between the second component 400 and the second connecting member 200 can refer to the specific connection structure between the second component 400 and the second connecting member 200, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described in detail here.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first component 300 and / or the second component 400 may be a plate, a support leg, a beam, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0116] Taking the example that both the first component 300 and the second component 400 are plates, the first component 300 and the second component 400 can be perpendicular to each other or can be arranged inclined to each other, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
