Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of furniture fastening connection, in particular to a hidden connection structure of furniture. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's aesthetic concepts, invisible connectors are gradually used between two furniture panels or two metal components to achieve hidden connection, thereby improving the aesthetics of furniture or equipment. Among them, three-in-one connectors are widely used in the connection between two furniture panels. For example, a connection assembly and connection system disclosed in patent number CN202220874803.X. The existing three-in-one connection structure is mainly composed of embedded nuts, connecting rods and eccentric wheels. When in use, the embedded nut is embedded in the first mounting hole of the first component, and the eccentric wheel is installed in the second mounting hole of the second component; the expansion head of the connecting rod is threadedly connected to the embedded nut, and the second end of the connecting rod is inserted into the interior of the second component and firmly connected to the eccentric wheel; the eccentric wheel is rotated to pull the connecting rod backward, so that the expansion head of the connecting rod moves backward relative to the embedded nut, and the embedded nut is expanded and locked to the first component, so that the first component and the second component are connected in an invisible manner through the three-in-one connector.

[0003] However, the three-in-one hidden connection structure has the following defects:

[0004] 1. The embedded nut is usually sleeved outside the expansion head and threadedly connected; the embedded nut and the mounting hole of the first component require a certain layout space, which is not conducive to use on components with thin plate thickness.

[0005] 2. In order to facilitate expansion and deformation, the embedded nut is divided into several expansion bodies along the circumferential direction through gaps; the expansion head is pulled back to make the expansion body expand and deform in a trumpet shape, thereby locking it in the first mounting hole. However, after the expansion head is pulled back and displaced, the front end of the embedded nut is in a hollow state. Under the restriction of the first mounting hole, the front end of the embedded nut, i.e., the expansion body, will shrink and deform inward, causing the internal thread to deform and shift to a certain extent. The thread locking force of the embedded nut and the expansion head changes, and there is a certain risk of stripping. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a furniture hidden connection structure, comprising: a connecting rod 10, an expansion sleeve 20 and an eccentric wheel 30;

[0032] A conical expansion head 11 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 10, and a connecting end 12 is provided at the other end, and the connecting end 12 can be inserted into the eccentric wheel 30; an expansion sleeve 20 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 10, and a plurality of expansion bodies 21 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction at one end close to the expansion head 11, and an arc-shaped pressing portion 22 is provided at one end close to the connecting end 12, and the arc-shaped pressing portion 22 can be pressed against the outer contour of the eccentric wheel 30;

[0033] Rotating the eccentric wheel 30 can make the connecting rod 10 move toward one side of the eccentric wheel 30 along with the connecting end 12, and the expansion sleeve 20 is pressed against the outer contour of the eccentric wheel 30 to remain stationary, and the tension expansion head 11 can move toward the expansion body 21 to expand and deform the expansion body 21.

[0034] In the utility model, the expansion body 21 of the expansion sleeve 20 and the expansion head 11 of the connecting rod 10 can be inserted into the first connecting hole of the first component; the expansion sleeve 20 and the remaining end of the connecting rod 10 can be inserted into the second component, and connected to the eccentric wheel 30 through the connecting end 12 of the connecting rod 10; during specific use, the eccentric wheel 30 is rotated, so that the connecting rod 10 can move toward one side of the eccentric wheel 30 along with the connecting end 12, the expansion sleeve 20 is pressed against the outer contour of the eccentric wheel 30 and remains motionless, and the expansion head 11 can move toward the expansion body 21 and expand and deform the expansion body 21; after the expansion body 21 is deformed, it can be firmly clamped in the first connecting hole, and as the connecting rod 10 moves toward one side of the eccentric wheel 30, the conical expansion head 11 can further expand and deform the expansion body 21, and the locking is more secure.

[0035] The utility model does not use the method of threaded connection between the embedded nut and the expansion head 11 to pull and expand the embedded nut, but uses the method of expanding the expansion body 21 through the conical expansion head 11; the expansion body 21 is a flat thin-walled structure of the expansion sleeve 20, which occupies a small space as a whole, can effectively reduce the design size of the first mounting hole, and can be used on components with thinner plate thickness; and, in the process of continuous pulling of the expansion head 11, the expansion deformation of the expansion body 21 can be further enlarged, and the firmness of the locking of the expansion body 21 and the first mounting hole can be further deepened, and there will be no risk of tooth stripping.

[0036] In this embodiment, an inclined abutment portion 211 is provided at one end of the expansion body 21 close to the expansion head 11, and the inclined abutment portion 211 can be fitted against the tapered outer wall of the expansion head 11. Through the inclined abutment portion 211, one end of the expansion body 21 can be fitted and deformed outward along the tapered outer wall of the expansion head 11, and the inner side is firmly fitted to the tapered outer wall of the expansion head 11, without having an internal hollow state, thereby avoiding reverse deformation of the expansion body 21.

[0037] Specifically, a stretching rib 212 is provided at one end of the expansion body 21 away from the expansion head 11. The stretching rib 212 has strong rigidity and is not easily deformed, and can limit the deformation area of ​​the expansion sleeve 20 to only occur in the expansion body 21 area.

[0038] Furthermore, the stretching rib 212 is an annular convex rib facing one side of the stretching rod; two convex rib limiting rings 13 are provided at one end of the connecting rod 10 close to the tensioning head 11; the stretching rib 212 can move between the two convex rib limiting rings 13. The two convex rib limiting rings 13 on both sides of the stretching rib 212 can limit the movement span of the expansion body 21, thereby limiting the deformation of the expansion body 21 and preventing the expansion body 21 from expanding and rupturing due to overexpansion.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of inverted tooth structures 213 are axially arranged on the outer side of the expansion body 21. After the expansion body 21 expands outward, the outer inverted tooth structures 213 are pressed against the inner wall of the hole to strengthen the connection stability with the first mounting hole.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the expansion sleeve 20 and to sleeve and install the expansion sleeve 20 on the outside of the connecting rod 10, the expansion sleeve 20 is composed of two half sleeves 23 that can be assembled left and right.

[0041] Specifically, a buckle groove ear 24 is provided on one side of the half sleeve 23, and a buckle hook ear 25 is provided on the other side; the buckle hook ear 25 of one half sleeve 23 can be buckled with the buckle groove ear 24 of the other half sleeve 23. Through the structure of the buckle hook and the buckle groove, the two half sleeves 23 can be conveniently assembled.

[0042] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of one side of the half sleeve 23 are provided with limiting protrusions 26, and the front and rear ends of the other side are provided with limiting notches 27; the limiting protrusion 26 of one half sleeve 23 can be inserted into the limiting notch 27 of the other half sleeve 23. By using the limiting protrusions 26 and limiting notches 27 at the front and rear ends, the engagement areas at the front and rear ends of the two half sleeves 23 can be increased, so that the eccentric wheel 30 presses against the expansion sleeve 20, and when it moves relative to the connecting rod 10, it is not easy to be misaligned, and the expansion of the expansion body 21 is more stable.

[0043] In this embodiment, the structure of the buckle hook and the buckle groove, the limiting protrusion 26 and the limiting groove 27 are all arranged on the opposite sides of the half-cylinder sleeve 23, and the two identical semicircular half-cylinder sleeves 23 are arranged symmetrically with the center, so that the buckle hook and the buckle groove, as well as the limiting protrusion 26 and the limiting groove 27 can be exactly engaged.

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to further limit the relative movement of the expansion sleeve 20 and the connecting rod 10, the expansion sleeve 20 extends obliquely toward the connecting rod 10 to form a main limit ear 28; the connecting rod 10 is provided with a main limit ring 14; the main limit ear 28 can be set against the main limit ring 14. The main limit ear 28 and the main limit ring 14 are respectively arranged in the middle of the expansion sleeve 20 and the connecting rod 10, which can further limit the movement of the expansion sleeve 20 relative to the connecting rod 10, thereby limiting the deformation of the expansion body 21 and preventing the expansion body 21 from excessive expansion and rupture.

[0045] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and technicians familiar with the field may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
