[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] like Figures 1-15As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a connection assembly for connecting a first module 100 and a second module 200, comprising a first locking structure 1 and a second locking structure 2. The first module 100 and the second module 200 are adjacent to each other, for example, the first module 100 and the second module 200 are stacked one above the other, or the first module 100 and the second module 200 are arranged in abutment with each other. The connection assembly can be applied to containers such as toolboxes, tool boxes, storage boxes, storage baskets, drawer boxes, roller boxes, tool bags, and the like. The connection assembly can also be applied to a rigid platform such as a flatbed truck, external board, adapter board, workbench, drawing board, and the like. The connecting component is mainly used for interlocking between two modules; the first module 100 can be a container, the second module 200 can also be a container, and the connecting component enables the containers to be interlocked; the first module 100 / the second module 200 can be a container, the second module 200 / the first module 100 can be a rigid platform, and the connecting component enables the container to be interlocked with the rigid platform; the first module 100 can be a rigid platform, the second module 200 can also be a rigid platform, and the connecting component enables the rigid platforms to be interlocked with each other.

[0047] This solution is described by taking the stacking of the first module 100 and the second module 200 as an example.

[0048] The first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 are disposed on adjacent first and second modules 100, 200. For example, the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 are disposed on the contacting surfaces of the first and second modules 100, 200, or on adjacent sides of the first and second modules 100, 200. The first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 have a locked state and an unlocked state, and can be switched between the locked and unlocked states by their own movements.

[0049] The first locking structure 1 includes a locking member 10 and a mating portion 111. The locking member 10 is disposed on the second module 200 and is capable of sliding relative to the second module 200. The mating portion 111 is disposed on the first module 100. The locking member 10 and the mating portion 111 are arranged in a coordinated manner. The first locking structure 1 is switched between an unlocked state and a locked state by changing the position of the locking member 10 relative to the mating portion 111. When the first locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the locking member 10 and the mating portion 111 interfere with each other in the misalignment direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the misalignment direction. When the first locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 10 does not interfere with the mating portion 111, allowing the first module 100 and the second module 200 to move in the misalignment direction.

[0050] When the second locking structure 2 interferes with the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the separation direction, it restricts the first module 100 and the second module 200 from moving in the separation direction. Thus, by combining the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2, the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be restricted from moving in the misalignment direction and the separation direction, thereby achieving interlocking of the first module 100 and the second module 200, facilitating the organization and storage of the modules and improving the user experience. During use, the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be separated by unlocking either the first locking structure 1 or the second locking structure 2, facilitating the removal and installation of the first module 100 and the second module 200, simplifying the operation and saving time and effort.

[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the offset direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200 is parallel to the contact surface of the first module 100 and the second module 200, and can be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. The separation direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200 is perpendicular to the contact surface of the first module 100 and the second module 200, and can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. With the second module 200 as the reference, the second module 200 is stacked above the first module 100. At this time, the first module 100 moves relative to the second module 200 in the offset direction, that is, the first module 100 moves in the horizontal direction of the front, back, left, and right. At this time, the first module 100 moves relative to the second module 200 in the separation direction, that is, the first module 100 moves in the upward vertical direction. Because the first module 100 and the second module 200 abut, their movement in the offset and separation directions is restricted, thus achieving an interlocking connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200. In other embodiments, the misalignment direction and the separation direction can also be other directions. The misalignment direction and the separation direction are two complementary directions, which are mainly used when the first module 100 and the second module 200 are abutted against each other, and then through the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2, the first module 100 and the second module 200 are locked in the up, down, left, right, front and back directions, thereby realizing the locking between the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the first locking structure 1 includes a locking member 10 and a locking groove 11. The locking groove 11 is provided on the first module 100, and the mating portion 111 is provided as a sidewall of the locking groove 11. When the locking member 10 moves relative to the locking groove 11 in the unlocking direction, the locking member 10 abuts against the sidewall of the locking groove 11, thereby forming interference between the locking member 10 and the mating portion 111. The locking member 10 is provided on the second module 200. For example, when the first module 100 and the second module 200 are docked, the locking member 10 and the locking groove 11 are both located at the sides of the first module 100 and the second module 200 to facilitate locking and unlocking. Furthermore, the locking member 10 can move relative to the second module 200 (the movement is provided by sliding, i.e., the locking member 10 is slidably connected to the second module 200) so that the locking member 10 can extend into and out of the locking groove 11. When the first locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the locking member 10 extends into the locking groove 11. When the first locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 10 extends out of the locking groove 11. By extending the locking member 10 into and out of the locking groove 11, the first locking structure 1 can be switched between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0053] Furthermore, the first locking structure 1 further includes a first elastic member 14, which is connected between the locking member 10 and the second module 200 and is capable of driving the locking member 10 relative to the second module 200, so that the locking member 10 moves until it interferes with the locking groove 11 (i.e., the locking member 10 extends into the locking groove 11), thereby automatically maintaining the first locking structure 1 in the locked state. When the first module 100 is connected to the second module 200 and the first locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the first module 100 presses against the locking member 10 to align the locking member 10 with the locking groove 11, so that the locking member 10 is automatically locked with the locking groove 11 under the action of the first elastic member 14.

[0054] In some embodiments, the connection assembly includes a retaining structure 3 having a first retaining portion 31 and a second retaining portion 32. The first retaining portion 31 is disposed on the first locking structure 1 and moves with the first locking structure 1. For example, the first retaining portion 31 is disposed on the locking member 10 and moves with the position of the locking member 10 relative to the first module 100, while the second retaining portion 32 is disposed on the first module 100, and the first retaining portion 31 cooperates with the second retaining portion 32. When the first locking structure 1 moves in a first direction (i.e., the unlocking direction of the first locking structure 1) to an unlocked state, the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 in the retaining structure 3 abut in a second direction (i.e., the locking direction of the first locking structure 1), thereby restricting movement of the first locking structure 1 in the locking direction and maintaining the first locking structure 1 in the unlocked state. Here, when the first locking structure 1 is maintained in the unlocked state, the abutting surfaces of the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 are configured as flat surfaces, which can make the abutting action more reliable, thereby improving the structural stability of the retaining structure and maintaining the first locking structure 1 in a safe and stable state.

[0055] It should be noted that when the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 abut against each other in the second direction, the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 cannot be misaligned without any operation. For example, the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 are both provided with straight surfaces perpendicular to the unlocking direction (i.e., the second direction) of the first locking structure 1, and the two straight surfaces abut against each other to block each other. In this case, only by separating the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 and preventing them from abutting against each other can the retaining effect of the retaining structure 3 be invalidated; or, one or both of the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 are provided with inclined surfaces or curved surfaces, and the straight surfaces abut against each other, or the inclined surfaces abut against each other, can block each other. In this case, it is only necessary to make the rebound force of the first elastic member 14 always smaller than the abutting force of the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32. Then, in the absence of any external force, the retaining effect of the retaining structure 3 is always effective.

[0056] In this way, the first locking structure 1 is kept in an unlocked state by the retaining structure 3. There is no need to apply a retaining force to the first locking structure 1. The first locking structure 1 can be kept in an unlocked state to facilitate separation of the first module 100 and the second module 200, which is conducive to quick disassembly, simple operation, and time and effort saving.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the retaining structure 3 further includes a second elastic member 33, which is disposed between the first retaining portion 31 and the first locking structure 1. Under the action of the second elastic member 33, the first retaining portion 31 is displaced in an unlocking direction different from that of the first locking structure 1. For example, the second elastic member 33 is disposed between the locking member 10 and the first retaining portion 31 and can drive the first retaining portion 31 to displace in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 abut against each other in the second direction. When both the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 are in the locked state, the first retaining portion 31 is located on the side of the second retaining portion 32 facing the locking direction of the first locking structure 1. When the first locking structure 1 drives the first retaining portion 31 in the first direction, the first retaining portion 31 can pass over the second retaining portion 32 under the action of the second elastic member 33. Then, the first elastic member 14 rebounds and drives the first retaining portion 31 to abut against the second retaining portion 32. In this way, the design of the second elastic member 33 can improve the smoothness of the first locking structure 1 during unlocking and remaining unlocked.

[0058] Among them, when the first locking structure 1 drives the first retaining portion 31 to move along the first direction, the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 can cooperate through the inclined surface. Specifically, an inclined surface is provided on one side of the first retaining portion 31. When the inclined surface abuts against the second retaining portion 32, the first retaining portion 31 can compress the second elastic member 33 so that the first retaining portion 31 passes over the second retaining portion 32.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, in the first preferred embodiment, the first retaining portion 31 is rotatably connected to the first locking structure 1, and the second elastic member 33 can drive the first retaining portion 31 to rotate relative to the first locking structure 1 so as to protrude from the first locking structure 1. Specifically, a flip groove is provided on the locking member 10, and the first retaining portion 31 is configured as an L-shape. The first end of the first retaining portion 31 is hinged within the flip groove, and the second elastic member 33 is configured as a spring or a torsion spring and abuts between the second end of the first retaining portion 31 and the bottom of the flip groove, thereby driving the first retaining portion 31 to protrude from the flip groove.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, in the second preferred embodiment, the first retaining portion 31 is slidably connected to the first locking structure 1, and the second elastic member 33 can drive the first retaining portion 31 to slide relative to the first locking structure 1 so as to protrude from the first locking structure 1. Specifically, a sliding groove is provided on the locking member 10, and the first retaining portion 31 is located in the sliding groove. The second elastic member 33 is configured as a spring and abuts between the first retaining portion 31 and the bottom of the sliding groove, thereby driving the first retaining portion 31 to protrude from the sliding groove.

[0061] like Figure 8As shown, in the third preferred embodiment, the first retaining portion 31 and the second elastic member 33 are integrally formed with the first locking structure 1, and the deformation potential energy of the second elastic member 33 drives the first retaining portion 31 to protrude from the first locking structure 1. Specifically, a flip groove is provided on the locking member 10, and the first retaining portion 31 is connected to the flip groove via the second elastic member 33. The first retaining portion 31 and the second elastic member 33 are integrally formed, and the elastic deformation of the second elastic member 33 drives the first retaining portion 31 to protrude from the flip groove.

[0062] The first locking structure 1 is described in detail below in conjunction with the above embodiments.

[0063] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the first locking mechanism 1 is configured as a horizontal sliding latch. A mounting slot is provided on the upper surface of the first module 100, extending through the side of the first module 100. A mating portion 111 is provided protruding from the first sidewall of the mounting slot, forming a locking slot 11 between the mating portion 111 and the bottom of the mounting slot. A second retaining portion 32 is provided protruding between the first and second sidewalls of the mounting slot, dividing the mounting slot into two portions, one adjacent to the first sidewall and the other adjacent to the second sidewall. A sliding cavity is provided at the lower portion of the second module 200, and openings are provided at the side and lower portions of the sliding cavity. The locking member 10 includes an operating member 12 and a locking tongue 13 which is transmission-connected to the operating member 12. The operating member 12 is horizontally slidably provided in the sliding cavity, and the operating member 12 protrudes from the side opening of the sliding cavity. The locking tongue 13 and the first retaining portion 31 are provided on the operating member 12 and protrude from the lower opening of the sliding cavity, so that the locking tongue 13 and the first retaining portion 31 can slide in the mounting groove, thereby enabling the locking tongue 13 and the locking groove 11 to cooperate, and the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32 to cooperate.

[0064] like Figure 9-13 As shown, the first locking mechanism 1 is configured as a vertical sliding lock. The upper surface of the first module 100 is provided with a mounting slot. The first sidewall of the mounting slot, adjacent to the side of the first module 100, is provided with a mating portion 111. The locking slot 11 is formed between the mating portion 111 and the second sidewall of the mounting slot. A second retaining portion 32 is provided above the second sidewall of the mounting slot. The second retaining portion 32 partially covers the mounting slot to form a vertical barrier. The lower portion of the second module 200 is provided with a sliding cavity, with openings on the sides and bottom of the cavity. The locking member 10 includes an operating member 12 and a locking tongue 13 drivingly connected to the operating member 12. The operating member 12 is slidably disposed within the cavity and protrudes from the side opening of the cavity. The locking tongue 13 and the first retaining portion 31 are disposed on the operating member 12 and protrude from the lower opening of the cavity, allowing the locking tongue 13 and the first retaining portion 31 to extend into and out of the mounting slot, thereby engaging the locking tongue 13 with the locking slot 11 and the first retaining portion 31 and the second retaining portion 32.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second locking structure 2 includes at least one blocking portion and at least one holding portion. In the embodiments of the present application, the number of blocking portions and holding portions is the same, and both are provided with two, three, or four, and the blocking portions and holding portions correspond to each other. The blocking portion is provided on the first module 100, and the holding portion is provided on the second module 200. When the blocking portion and the holding portion are engaged with each other, that is, the blocking portion is engaged between the holding portion and the second module 200, and the holding portion is engaged between the blocking portion and the first module 100, thereby restricting the first module 100 and the second module 200 from moving in a direction away from each other. At this time, the first module 100 and the second module 200 are slidably connected, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to or forms an angle with the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0066] Among them, a plurality of blocking parts are provided and arranged along the extension direction of the second locking structure 2, and a plurality of holding parts are provided and arranged along the extension direction of the second locking structure 2. For example, there are two blocking parts and two holding parts. In this way, by cooperating with multiple groups of blocking parts and holding parts, the connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be made more stable and reliable in the extension direction of the second locking structure 2. Here, the distance between two adjacent blocking parts is greater than the length of the holding parts, and the length of two adjacent holding parts is greater than the length of the blocking parts. When the first module 100 and the second module 200 are docked, there is no need for the first module 100 and the second module 200 to be completely misaligned. It is only necessary to misalign the holding parts and the blocking parts so that the holding parts can be inserted between the blocking parts and the first module 100, and the blocking parts can be inserted between the holding parts and the second module 200. The operation is convenient and time-saving and labor-saving.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the second locking structure 2 is configured as a slide rail structure and includes two structures, namely a first slide rail structure and a second slide rail structure. The first slide rail structure includes a first blocking portion 21 and a first clamping portion 23. The first blocking portion 21 is provided on the first module 100, and the first clamping portion 23 is provided on the second module 200. The first blocking portion 21 and the first clamping portion 23 can engage with each other, thereby restricting the first module 100 and the second module 200 from moving in a direction away from each other. The second slide rail structure includes a second blocking portion 22 and a second clamping portion 24. The second blocking portion 22 is provided on the first module 100, and the second clamping portion 24 is provided on the second module 200. The second blocking portion 22 and the second clamping portion 24 can engage with each other, thereby restricting the first module 100 and the second module 200 from moving in a direction away from each other. Here, the first and second slide rail structures are spaced apart and arranged in parallel. That is, the relative sliding direction of the first clamping portion 23 and the first blocking portion 21 is parallel to the relative sliding direction of the second blocking portion 22 and the second clamping portion 24, and they are not aligned. Thus, the design of the first and second slide rail structures ensures a stable and reliable sliding connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200, thereby improving the stability of disassembly and installation.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, the first blocking portion 21 and the second blocking portion 22 both protrude from the first module 100 and extend in opposite directions, and the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 24 both protrude from the second module 200 and extend in opposite directions. For example, the first blocking portion 21 and the second blocking portion 22 extend in opposite directions, while the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 24 extend in opposite directions. When the first blocking portion 21 and the first clamping portion 23 are engaged, and the second blocking portion 22 and the second clamping portion 24 are engaged, the first and second slide rail structures interlock and restrict the movement of the first and second slide rail structures 100 and 200 in the arrangement direction of the first and second slide rail structures, thereby allowing the first and second modules 100 and 200 to slide only along the extension direction of the first and second slide rail structures. In another embodiment of the present application, the first blocking portion 21 and the second blocking portion 22 both protrude from the first module 100 and extend in opposite directions, and the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 24 both protrude from the second module 200 and extend in opposite directions.

[0069] like Figure 14-15As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first and second slide rail structures is disposed on a side edge of the first and second modules 100, 200. When the first and second modules 100, 200 are docked, it is necessary to keep one side edge of the first and second modules 100 aligned. In this case, one of the first and second slide rail structures is disposed at the aligned side edge position. In this way, disposing the first or second slide rail structure at the side edge position can avoid affecting the internal space of the first and second modules 100, 200.

[0070] Specifically, the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the first module 100 or the second module 200. Here, the arrangement direction of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure is taken as the reference direction (i.e. Figure 15 The left and right directions in the reference direction are defined as the widths of the first and second modules, that is, the extension directions of the first and second slide rail structures are defined as the length directions of the first and second modules. When the width of the first module 100 is greater than that of the second module 200, the first and second slide rail structures are respectively arranged on both sides of the second module 200. Correspondingly, one of the first and second slide rail structures is arranged on a side of the first module 100 and the other is arranged in the middle of the first module 100. When the width of the first module 100 is less than that of the second module 200, the first and second slide rail structures are respectively arranged on both sides of the first module 100. Correspondingly, one of the first and second slide rail structures is arranged on a side of the second module 200 and the other is arranged in the middle of the second module 200. When the width of the first module 100 is the same as that of the second module 200, the first and second slide rail structures are respectively arranged on both sides of the first module 100 and the second module 200. In this way, the mating connection of modules of various widths can be achieved.

[0071] In some preferred embodiments, two first locking structures 1 are provided, one located on opposite sides of the first module 100 or the other on opposite sides of the second module 200, and the arrangement direction of the two first locking structures 1 is parallel to the unlocking direction of the second locking structure 2. During use, both first locking structures 1 can lock the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the misaligned direction, thereby enabling bilateral installation of the first module 100 and the second module 200, improving adaptability.
