Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connecting pieces, in particular to furniture installation connecting pieces. Background Art

[0002] Furniture installation connecting pieces are crucial parts in the furniture manufacturing and assembly process. They play a role in fixing and stabilizing the furniture structure. They mainly include but are not limited to:

[0003] Screws (including nuts): used to fix and connect various parts of furniture;

[0004] Corner brackets (including angle irons): provide additional support and stability, commonly found in furniture such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.;

[0005] Other hardware fittings: such as hinges, gas struts, sliding rails, clothes hanger seats, shelf brackets, etc., are also used for furniture connection and fixation.

[0006] Among them, the applications of screws, nuts, angle irons, and corner brackets are more extensive. Therefore, different types of connecting pieces with improved structures are derived based on screws, nuts, angle irons, and corner brackets according to requirements. However, currently, the conventional ones (i.e., the combination of simple corner brackets and screws is the most commonly used) are still used. Therefore, we propose a furniture installation connecting piece, which is improved on the basis of the conventional furniture installation connecting piece to make up for the following deficiencies:

[0007] 1. When using corner brackets for support connection on many large pieces of furniture, a relatively large number of corner brackets will be set on the same horizontal line, such as beds, sofas, long tables, and coffee tables, etc. However, once one corner bracket is unevenly stressed over time, it will cause the connection between the screw and the furniture main body to become loose, resulting in reduced stability and abnormal noises.

[0008] 2. Based on the above problem 1, we also found that in most cases, the spacing of corner brackets is installed according to the experience of workers and design requirements. Although the error is not large in most cases, during the installation process, preparatory work (marking scales, measurement and judgment, experience judgment, etc.) is still required, which will affect the installation efficiency of corner brackets and is prone to errors. Summary of the Utility Model

[0009] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a furniture installation connecting piece to solve the above deficiencies in the technology.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A furniture installation connector, including a triangular corner bracket and a connecting frame. Two of the triangular corner brackets are provided and arranged correspondingly at the furniture connection. A thickening portion is provided at the bottom of the right-angle side of one triangular corner bracket corresponding to the right-angle side of another triangular corner bracket. Straight grooves are correspondingly provided in the two thickening portions. Both ends of the connecting frame are butted in the straight grooves, and a plurality of connecting holes a are provided in the thickening portion. The connecting frame is provided with a plurality of grooves corresponding to the furniture main surface. Rubber gaskets are provided in the grooves, and connecting holes b are provided on both sides of the connecting frame at adjacent grooves.

[0011] Further, both ends of the connecting frame are provided with docking plugs, and the docking plugs are adapted to the straight grooves.

[0012] Further, connection hole positions are provided on both the right-angle side and the diagonal brace of the triangular corner bracket.

[0013] Further, connection holes c are provided on the docking plugs corresponding to the connection holes a and the connection hole positions of the triangular corner bracket.

[0014] Further, the aperture of the connection hole a is larger than the apertures of the connection holes c and the connection hole positions of the triangular corner bracket, and the apertures of the connection holes c and the connection hole positions of the triangular corner bracket are the same.

[0015] Further, the connecting frame is attached to the furniture main surface, and a connection hole d is further provided on the connecting frame for connecting furniture accessories.

[0016] Further, the thickness of the rubber gasket is greater than eight-tenths of the thickness of the groove, and the groove is used for inserting the right-angle corner bracket.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0018] 1. By providing a thickening portion at the bottom of the right-angle side of the triangular corner bracket and opening a straight groove, and butting both ends of the connecting frame to the two triangular corner brackets, a support cross beam is added to support and further reinforce the installed right-angle corner bracket. This structure enhances the overall strength of the connector. Even when multiple corner brackets are unevenly stressed on a large piece of furniture, it can effectively reduce the loosening of the screws connecting to the furniture main body, improving the stability and durability of the furniture.

[0019] 2. When connecting the installed right-angle corner bracket, the right-angle corner bracket is butted into the customized groove of the connecting frame and tightened. This design makes the installation process simpler and faster. At the same time, it also reduces the possibility of installation errors and improves the installation accuracy. The design of the new connector reduces the dependence on preparatory work such as marking scales and measurement judgments during the installation process. Workers can directly install according to the structure of the connector, greatly improving the installation efficiency;

[0020] Meanwhile, through the bolt fastening connection hole b, the connecting frame drives the rubber gasket to contact the added right-angle corner bracket, which plays a further fastening role and provides a buffering effect, reducing the abnormal noise caused by the loosening of the connecting parts to a certain extent and improving the use experience of the furniture.

[0021] 3. The connecting frame is also provided with a connection hole d for connecting furniture accessories such as drawer slides and table legs. This design makes the connecting piece not only applicable to basic furniture connections but also able to meet more diverse furniture assembly requirements.

[0022] In summary, through improvements in optimizing the structural design, enhancing the connection stability, improving the installation efficiency and accuracy, etc., the furniture installation connecting piece of the utility model effectively solves the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a more efficient, stable and flexible connection solution for the furniture manufacturing and assembly processes.
