[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quick-connect assembly includes a first connecting member 3 and a second connecting member 1. The first connecting member 3 is provided with a connecting groove 31, and the second connecting member 1 is provided with a connecting arm 11. Specifically, there are at least two connecting arms 11, and three or more connecting arms 11 can be provided. Each connecting arm 11 is arranged in parallel, and an operating range is enclosed between each connecting arm 11. At least one of the connecting arms 11 is an elastic arm. In this embodiment, two connecting arms 11, both of which are elastic arms, are used as an example.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, as a specific embodiment, the inner wall of the connecting groove 31 is provided with internal teeth, and the connecting arm 11 is provided with external teeth. In the connected state, the internal teeth mesh with the external teeth. This meshing of the internal and external teeth effectively reduces the possibility of relative slippage between the connecting arm 11 and the connecting groove 31, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 1.

[0039] like Figure 1 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes an operating unit 2, and the operating unit 2 includes an actuator 22, a transmission rod 23 and an operating member 21. The transmission rod 23 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 1, and the actuator 22 and the operating member 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the transmission rod 23. When connected, the connecting arm 11 extends into the connecting groove 31, and the actuator 22 is inserted into the operating interval. When the transmission rod 23 is connected to the second connecting member 1, it can better cooperate with the connecting arm 11 and have a better use effect. Specifically, the operating member 21 is an operating handle. It should be noted that the transmission rod 23 can also be configured to be connected to the first connecting member 3. In this application, the connection between the transmission rod 23 and the second connecting member 1 is taken as an example.

[0040] like Figure 4-Figure 6 Specifically, the second connecting member 1 is provided with a mounting hole 13, and the transmission rod 23 is disposed through the mounting hole 13. The actuator 22 and the connecting arm 11 are located on the same side of the second connecting member 1, and the operating member 21 is located on the other side of the second connecting member 1. Positioning the operating member 21 opposite the actuator 22 allows for rotation outside the connecting slot 31 during assembly and disassembly, providing ample operating space and excellent convenience.

[0041] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the actuator 22 has expansion protrusions 221 distributed in the circumferential direction. Figure 3 As shown, during the transition from the unlocked state to the locked state, the operating unit 2 rotates, and the expansion protrusion 221 rotates from the misaligned state to the aligned state relative to the connecting arm 11 in the circumferential direction, pushing the connecting arm 11 to expand outward and be squeezed and connected with the inner wall of the connecting groove 31.

[0042] The operating unit 2 is stably set on the first connecting member 3 or the second connecting member 1 through the transmission rod 23. The overall structure of the quick connection assembly is simple, stable and reliable. During disassembly and assembly operations, the operating unit 2 can be rotated through the operating member 21 without the aid of external tools, which has the advantage of convenient operation.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting member 1 is provided with a rotation limiter, which encloses a rotation range. The rotation limiter and the operating member 21 are located on the same side of the second connecting member 1, and the mounting hole 13 is located within the rotation range. The operating member 21 rotates within the limited range of the rotation range. Based on the number of connecting arms 11 and expansion protrusions 221, the opening angle of the rotation range is reasonably set, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the operating member 21, ensuring that the rotation angle of the operating member 21 is sufficient to complete the assembly and disassembly operation while preventing excessive rotation.

[0044] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, specifically, one side of the rotation zone extends to the corresponding side of the second connecting member 1 to form an operating port. The operating member 21 can partially extend out of the second connecting member 1 to further improve the convenience of operation.

[0045] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, further, it also includes a protective cover 4, wherein the protective cover 4 is provided with a protective area matching the operating member 21. The inner side of the protective cover 4 is provided with a plug-in column 41, as shown in FIG. Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting member 1 is provided with an inserting hole 12, and the protective cover 4 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 1 via the inserting column 41 and the inserting hole 12. The protective cover 4 can protect and decorate the operating member 21.

[0046] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the plug hole 12 is arranged within the rotation range and is arranged near the operating port. When the operating unit 2 is in the locked state, the operating member 21 is located between the plug post 41 and the rotation limiter. The plug post 41 cooperates with the rotation limiter to play a certain role in limiting the operating member 21.

[0047] like Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, further, a locking mechanism is included. When the operating unit 2 is in a locked state, the locking mechanism works to restrict the operating member 21 from rotating.

[0048] As a specific implementation method, Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a locking hole 211 and a locking pin 42. The locking hole 211 is provided on the operating member 21, and the locking pin 42 is provided on the protective cover 4. When the operating unit 2 is in the locked state, the locking pin 42 aligns with the locking hole 211 and engages to lock. The locking pin 42 and the locking hole 211 cooperate to lock the operating member 21 in place, preventing accidental unlocking during use and improving the reliability of the connection.

[0049] Specifically, the locking hole 211 is a special-shaped hole, that is, the cross section of the locking hole 211 is non-circular, and the locking pin 42 matches the locking hole 211. The transmission rod 23 is connected to the operating member 21 through the locking hole 211.

[0050] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1 , as another specific embodiment, the second connecting member 1 is provided with a fixed locking block 14, and the operating member 21 is provided with a movable locking block 24. When the operating unit 2 is in the locked state, the movable locking block 24 cooperates with the fixed locking block 14 to lock. The movable locking block 24 and the fixed locking block 14 cooperate to lock the operating member 21 in place, preventing accidental unlocking during use and improving connection reliability.

[0051] A profile connection structure includes a first profile and a second profile, and also includes the quick connection assembly 01 as described above, wherein the first connection member 3 is connected to the first profile, and the second connection member 1 is connected to the second profile.

[0052] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a shower room includes a frame and a wall-adhering strip 02, wherein the frame includes vertical strips 03; and further includes the aforementioned quick-connect assembly 01, wherein the first connector 3 is connected to the wall-adhering strip 02, and the vertical strip 03 is connected to the second connector 1. The frame also includes horizontal strips 04, which are connected to the second connector 1.

[0053] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
