[0035] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the utility model and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the profile connector of the present invention is used to connect two groups of profiles, and includes a connecting body 1. The end surface of the connecting body 1 that is butted against the profile 100 is provided with a locking mechanism 2.

[0037] like Figure 2 The profile in this embodiment is provided with an embedding cavity for accommodating the locking mechanism. Specifically, a first cavity wall 010 and a second cavity wall are provided on both sides of the profile. An inner groove 020 and an outer convex cavity 021 are formed by the inward depression of the second cavity wall. The inner groove 020 and the outer convex cavity 021 are connected by a connecting wall 030. Two groups of T-shaped flanges 040 extending in the direction of the notch of the inner groove 020 are provided on the inner wall of the first cavity wall 010. The two groups of T-shaped flanges 040 are arranged at intervals. The bending parts 041 of the two groups of T-shaped flanges 040 are opposite and spaced a certain distance apart. The two groups of T-shaped flanges 040 extend along the length direction of the profile to form a first embedding cavity 050 connected to the locking mechanism 2 and having an opening. The two cavity walls form an inclined cavity wall 022 on the outer convex cavity 021 which gradually approaches the first cavity wall 010. The first cavity wall 010, the connecting wall 030, the inclined cavity wall 022 and the lower end face 060 together form an outer convex cavity 021 with a cross-section of a right-angled trapezoid. The upper base length of the right-angled trapezoid is greater than the lower base length. A partition plate 070 is provided in the outer convex cavity 021 along the length direction to form a second embedded cavity 080 connected to the locking mechanism 2; the lower end face 060 is concave along the end face to form an end face groove 061. The first cavity wall 010, the partition plate 070, the inclined cavity wall 022 and the inwardly concave lower end face 060 together form a third embedded cavity 090 with a special-shaped structure connected to the locking mechanism 2.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting body 1 has the same shape as the profile, including a connecting member inclined cavity wall 11 connected to the inclined cavity wall 022, and the connecting member lower end surface 12 of the connecting body 1 also has a connecting member end surface groove 13 connected to the end surface groove 061.

[0039] like Figures 4 to 5As shown, the locking mechanism 2 includes an upper embedded protrusion 21 matching the first embedded cavity 050, and also includes a lower embedded protrusion 22 matching the third embedded cavity 090. The upper embedded protrusion 21 and the lower embedded protrusion 22 both extend outward along the end surface where the connecting body 1 is connected to the profile. The upper embedded protrusion 21 and the lower embedded protrusion 22 have multiple mating surfaces with the cavity walls of the first embedded cavity 050 and the third embedded cavity 090, respectively, so that the connecting body 1 is better fixed and connected to the corresponding profile through the upper embedded protrusion 21 and the lower embedded protrusion 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, each surface of the upper embedding protrusion 21 and the lower embedding protrusion 22 is completely fitted with the cavity walls of the first embedding cavity 050 and the third embedding cavity 090. The upper embedding protrusion 21 is a convex structure, the boss of the convex structure is matched with the bent parts 041 of the two groups of T-shaped flanges 040, and the opening of the first embedding cavity forms an escape opening when the upper embedding protrusion 21 is plugged in.

[0041] The locking mechanism 2 also includes a locking unit matching the second embedded cavity 080, and the locking unit includes a locking protrusion 23 matching the second embedded cavity 080, that is, the locking protrusion 23 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure with an upper bottom length greater than a lower bottom length, and the locking protrusion 23 is recessed inward along the middle of the end surface to form a relative upper locking plate 231 and a lower locking plate 232 and a middle recess 233 located between the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232, and a locking stud 3 extending along the length direction of the middle recess 233 is provided in the middle recess 233, and the locking stud 3 is an elliptical cylinder, and the distance between the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 is changed by rotating the locking stud 3.

[0042] When the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are in contact with each other in the shortest axis direction of the locking stud 3, the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are in an unexpanded state; when the locking stud 3 is rotated until the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are in the longest axis direction, the distance between the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 is the largest, and the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 23 will generate outward supporting pressure and fit tightly to the profile, so that the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 23 can be firmly inserted into the second embedding cavity 080 of the profile, thereby achieving a firm connection with the profile.

[0043] Specifically, the locking stud 3 is rotatably connected to a lock shaft positioning hole 4 provided on the connecting body 1 through a lock shaft 31 , and a fastener 5 drivingly connected to the lock shaft 31 is also provided on the lock shaft 31 .

[0044] Specifically, Figure 6The inclined cavity wall 11 of the connector is recessed toward the lock shaft 31 to form a fastener installation groove 6. The lock shaft positioning holes 4 are located on both sides of the fastener installation groove 6. The fastener 5 has a transmission shaft hole 51 that is transmission-connected to the lock shaft 31. The fastener 5 is transmission-connected to the lock shaft 31 through the transmission shaft hole 51. When the fastener 5 is placed in the fastener installation groove 6, a fastener outer side wall that is located in the same plane as the inclined cavity wall 11 of the connector is formed, and the lower end surface of the fastener 5 is flush with the lower end surface 12 of the connector. The fastener 5 is located at the end surface groove 13 of the connector to form a handle space.

[0045] Furthermore, the lock shaft 31 is provided with gear teeth 32 along its length direction, and multiple groups of the gear teeth 32 are evenly arranged around the lock shaft 31. Correspondingly, the inner wall of the transmission shaft hole 51 is provided with gear grooves meshing with the gear teeth 32 along its length direction. In this embodiment, the lock shaft 31 is a cross-axis structure, and the four groups of gear teeth 32 are respectively located on the elliptical major axis and the elliptical minor axis of the elliptical locking stud 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the transmission shaft hole 51 is arranged close to the upper end surface of the fastener 5, so that the power arm formed by the transmission shaft hole 51 and the lower end surface of the fastener 5 is longer, and the force applied to the fastener 5 can be more labor-saving.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are in an unexpanded state, the fastener 5 is perpendicular to the inclined cavity wall 11 of the connecting member and protrudes out of the inclined cavity wall 11 of the connecting member. When the fastener 5 is subjected to a downward force, under the transmission action of the locking shaft 31, the locking stud 3 rotates between the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 until the locking stud 3 is located on the long axis line and is respectively in contact with the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232. At this time, the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are in an expanded state, and the upper end surface of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower end surface of the lower locking plate 231 are both tightly attached to the corresponding cavity wall of the second embedded cavity 080, so as to complete the locking unit to connect the connecting body 1 and the profile more firmly; at this time, the fastener 5 is placed in the fastener mounting groove 6.

[0048] Furthermore, at the connection point of the connecting body 1, the opposite end surfaces of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are provided with relatively concave connecting grooves 234, so that the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 have a larger elastic space when they are stretched apart.

[0049] Furthermore, the end faces of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 that are separated from each other are provided with concave grooves at intervals along the cross-sectional direction, so that the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are respectively fitted with the corresponding cavity walls of the second embedded cavity 080 through multiple groups of bosses to increase friction.

[0050] Furthermore, the locking stud 3 has a frustum-shaped structure, and the large end of the frustum is close to the free ends of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232. When the locking stud 3 rotates, the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are stretched apart only by the free end, which can reduce the force applied to the fastener.

[0051] Furthermore, the large end of the locking stud 3 is provided with a mounting round head 7, the radius of which is larger than the cross-sectional radius of the locking stud 3 to prevent the locking stud 3 from slipping out of the middle recess 233 between the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232.

[0052] The locking stud 3 is connected to the mounting round head 7 through a transition arc surface. The free ends of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are provided with a clearance groove 8 at the mounting round head 7, and the mounting round head 7 is placed in the clearance groove 8. The end faces of the free ends of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232 are provided with a guide arc surface for inserting the locking stud 3, and the transition arc surface cooperates with the guide arc surface.

[0053] During installation, the fastener 5 is placed in the fastener installation groove 6, and the locking stud 3 is inserted through the free end surfaces of the upper locking plate 231 and the lower locking plate 232, and aligned with the transmission shaft hole 51 through the locking shaft 31. If disassembly is required, the locking stud 3 is rotated in the opposite direction by rotating the fastener 5, the pressure is released, and the profile is removed.

[0054] Furthermore, the end surface of the connecting body 1 where it docks with the profile is provided with a guide surface 9 extending outward, and the guide surface 9 is continuously arranged along the side of the locking mechanism 2. There is a profile avoidance position between the guide surface 9 and the locking mechanism 2 when the profile is connected. When the profile is connected to the connecting piece, the guide surface 9 has a guiding function.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the profile connector is used to connect two groups of profiles located on the same straight line, the two groups of connection bodies 1 are located on the same straight line and are integrally formed, and the two groups of locking mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two groups of connection bodies 1. Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, when the profile connector is used to connect two groups of profiles with perpendicular extension directions, the two groups of connecting bodies 1 are perpendicular to each other and integrally formed, and the two groups of locking mechanisms 2 are arranged on both sides of the two groups of connecting bodies 1, such as Figure 7 .

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
