[0036] Next, the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail.

[0037] Refer toFigures 1-4 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 6 , the present application discloses a connection component for assembling two furniture modules 100. The connection component includes two bushings 10 and a connecting rod 20. The two bushings 10 are respectively installed on the two furniture modules 100, and the connecting rod 20 is inserted into the two bushings 10.

[0038] The connecting rod 20 includes a main body portion 21 and two rod portions 22. An outer clamping portion 23 is provided on the rod portion 22, an installation hole 11 is provided in the bushing 10, and an inner clamping portion 12 is provided in the installation hole 11. When the rod portion 22 is inserted into the installation hole 11, the outer clamping portion 23 and the inner clamping portion 12 are clamped and fixed.

[0039] Specifically, the outer clamping portion 23 is an annular groove provided along the outer periphery of the rod portion 22, and the inner clamping portion 12 is a snap ring fixed on the bushing 10. A card slot 13 is provided on the outer surface of the bushing 10. The card slot 13 penetrates the side wall of the bushing 10 and communicates with the installation hole 11.

[0040] Referring to Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , the snap ring includes a straight section 121 and an arc section 122. An opening 123 is formed between the straight section 121 and the arc section 122. The snap ring is clamped in the card slot 13 through the opening 123, that is, the arc section 122 is clamped in the card slot 13, the straight section 121 is located in the installation hole 11, and is clamped in the annular groove to fix the rod portion 22 in the installation hole 11.

[0041] The installation hole 11 includes an upper hole 111, a middle hole 112, and a lower hole 113 that are sequentially communicated from top to bottom. The inner diameters of the upper hole 111, the middle hole 112, and the lower hole 113 decrease in sequence. The inner diameter of the upper hole 111 is a hexagon adapted to the installation tool. When the installation tool is clamped in the upper hole 111, the bushing 10 can be driven to rotate and thus be embedded in the furniture module 100.

[0042] An end portion of the upper hole 111 is provided with a cap portion 14. The diameter of the cap portion 14 is larger than the outer diameter of the bushing 10. The contact area between the bushing 10 and the furniture module 100 is increased through the cap portion 14, the stability of the connection is improved, and at the same time, the installation position of the bushing 10 in the furniture module 100 is positioned.

[0043] The outer periphery of the bushing 10 is provided with a thread 15. The thread 15 is arranged between the cap portion 14 and the card slot 13. The bushing 10 and the furniture module 100 are embedded through a threaded connection.

[0044] Referring to Figure 3As shown, the two rod parts 22 are perpendicular to the main body part 21, and the two rod parts 22 and the main body part 21 are arranged in a U shape. In another embodiment, the two rod parts 22 are arranged to extend in opposite directions, and thus the two rod parts 22 and the main body part 21 are arranged in a straight line or a Z shape. The extension directions of the two rod parts 22 do not affect each other, and specifically, the positional relationship between the rod part 22 and the main body part 21 can be adjusted in combination with the position where the rod part 22 is correspondingly inserted into the bushing 10.

[0045] A guiding part 24 is provided at the bottom of the rod part 22, and the outer diameter of the guiding part 24 gradually decreases towards the end of the rod part 22, which is convenient for the rod part 22 to align with the mounting hole 11 when inserted into the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the installation efficiency between the rod part 22 and the bushing 10.

[0046] The two bushings 10 have the same structure, and the lengths corresponding to the two rod parts 22 are also the same, which simplifies the models of the bushing 10 and the rod part 22, saves costs, and at the same time ensures the consistency of the connection strength and performance, improving the overall connection stability. In another embodiment, the lengths of the two bushings 10 are different, and the lengths of the two rod parts 22 also change with the length of the bushing 10. Specifically, the length of the rod part 22 can be correspondingly adjusted in combination with the depth of embedding into the furniture module 100 and the length of the bushing 10 itself, and specific limitations are not made here.

[0047] The two rod parts 22 and the main body part 21 are integrally provided, such as by integral injection molding, to improve the overall structural strength of the connection assembly.

[0048] In this application, by embedding two bushings 10 in the furniture module 100 and connecting the two bushings 10 through the connecting rod 20, the free combination and use of any two furniture modules 100 are realized, and the connection stability between the furniture modules 100 is improved.

[0049] Refer to Figures 6-8 As shown, this application also discloses a piece of furniture, which includes the above connection assembly and two furniture modules 100. When the furniture module 100 is applied to a sofa seat module, the furniture module 100 includes an armrest module 101, a backrest module 102, and a seat cushion module 103. Of course, the furniture module 100 can also be applied to a functional bed, etc., and specific limitations are not made here.

[0050] The two furniture modules 100 are respectively an armrest module 101 and a backrest module 102. A positioning hole 104 is provided at the bottom of the armrest module 101, and a positioning hole 105 is also provided at the bottom of the corresponding backrest module 102. The two positioning holes 104 and 105 are arranged adjacent to each other. One bushing 10 is respectively embedded in the two positioning holes 104 and 105, and the two rod parts 22 of the connecting rod 20 are respectively inserted into the bushings 10 to realize the combined use of the armrest module 101 and the backrest module 102.

[0051] The two furniture modules 100 are respectively an armrest module 101 and a seat cushion module 103. A positioning hole 104 is provided at the bottom of the armrest module 101, and a corresponding positioning hole 106 is also provided at the bottom of the seat cushion module 103. The two positioning holes 104 and 106 are arranged adjacent to each other. A bushing 10 is pre-embedded in each of the two positioning holes 104 and 106, and the two rod portions 22 of the connecting rod 20 are respectively inserted into the bushings 10 to realize the combined use of the armrest module 101 and the seat cushion module 103.

[0052] The two furniture modules 100 are respectively a backrest module 102 and a seat cushion module 103. A positioning hole 105 is provided at the bottom of the backrest module 102, and a corresponding positioning hole 106 is also provided at the bottom of the seat cushion module 103. The two positioning holes 105 and 106 are arranged adjacent to each other. A bushing 10 is pre-embedded in each of the two positioning holes 105 and 106, and the two rod portions 22 of the connecting rod 20 are respectively inserted into the bushings 10 to realize the combined use of the backrest module 102 and the seat cushion module 103.

[0053] The two bushings 10 are respectively arranged on the two mounting surfaces of the two furniture modules 100. The two mounting surfaces are in the same plane, which simplifies the assembly process on the same plane and makes it more convenient to align and fix the two furniture modules 100. At the same time, since the connection position of the two furniture modules 100 is not in the plane where they overlap and are hidden from each other, inspection and disassembly are easier, facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0054] The two bushings 10 are respectively pre-embedded in the two furniture modules 100, and the main body portion 21 is located on the two mounting surfaces of the furniture module 100. In another embodiment, grooves for accommodating the main body portion 21 are provided on the two mounting surfaces of the furniture module 100, so that the overall appearance of the furniture can be made more beautiful.

[0055] The bottom of the furniture module 100 is further provided with feet (not shown in the figure). The thickness of the main body portion 21 is less than the height of the feet, so that the main body portion 21 can be prevented from contacting the ground and being worn.

[0056] In addition to the above-mentioned method of setting the positioning holes 104, 105, and 106 at the bottom of the furniture module 100 to realize the combination between the furniture modules 100, positioning holes can also be provided on the sides of the furniture module 100 and connected by the connecting rod 20 to realize the combination between the furniture modules 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the drawings; all modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included within the scope of protection of this application.
