[0035] Furthermore, the term "identical" does not necessarily mean that the components must be identical; slight variations are permitted. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the components are positioned more perpendicularly than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly vertical; rather, it can be slightly tilted.

[0036] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a technical solution: an invisible connector, comprising a partition 1 and a connector body 2, wherein a plurality of connection ports 9 are provided on the side of the partition 1, and connection blocks 10 are provided on opposite sides of the ports of the plurality of connection ports 9, wherein one end of the two connection blocks 10 is connected to the side of the partition 1, and the other end extends along the port direction of the connection port 9;

[0037] The connector body consists of a T-shaped plate 205 and a wedge-shaped plate 206. The bottom surface of the T-shaped plate 205 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the wedge-shaped plate 206. The wedge-shaped plate 206 can pass through the gap formed by the two connecting blocks 10 to enter the connecting port 9 and be clamped and fixed with the two connecting blocks 10.

[0038] In this technical solution, a top hole 207 is opened on the vertical plate of the T-shaped plate 205, which is used to facilitate the ejector pin to eject the connector body 2 through the top hole 207 during the injection mold.

[0039] During the assembly of the file storage box, the partition 1 needs to be connected to other plates. The implementation of this step depends on the connector body 2, which will be inserted into the reserved holes of other plates. Then, the connector body 2 continues to move until the wedge plate 206 enters the connecting port 9 of the partition 1. The two sides of the wedge plate 206 will contact the connecting block 10 located on the top surface of the connecting port 9, thereby firmly fixing the partition 1 and other plates together.

[0040] Among them, the wedge plate 206 at the lower end of the connector body passes through the gap formed by the two connecting blocks 10 and enters the connecting port 9. The two sides of the wedge plate 206 will interfere with the connecting block 10 located on the top surface of the connecting port 9, thereby firmly fixing the partition 1 and other plates together, and achieving the purpose of improving the stability of the connection between the connector body 2 and the partition 1, thereby improving the stability and safety of the connection between the partition 1 and other plates.

[0041] In this embodiment, flexible members are provided on both sides of the wedge-shaped plate 206 , and the distance between the two flexible members is larger than the distance between the two connecting blocks 10 in a natural state.

[0042] The two flexible members and the wedge plate 206 can simultaneously pass through the gap formed by the two connecting blocks 10 and enter the connecting port 9, and the flexible members can interfere with the connecting block 10 located on the top surface of the connecting port 9, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting member body 2 and the partition 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, a notch 8 is provided on the front side of the partition 1 , and the opposite sides of the notch 8 are both semicircular arc-shaped.

[0044] After the file storage box is assembled and used, when it is necessary to take out the documents from the storage box, the user can place his hand under the recess 8 of the partition 1 to facilitate lifting the placed documents from the top plate and taking them all out, thereby reducing the probability of the user's hand slipping and being unable to quickly take the documents out of the partition 1.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] See also Figure 3-5 , which is different from the first embodiment in that: in this embodiment: the connector body 2 is composed of a mounting block 201, a connecting rod 202, a fixing rod 203 and a fixing block 204, one end of the connecting rod 202 is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting block 201, and the other end is connected to the fixing rod 203, and the end of the fixing rod 203 away from the connecting rod 202 is connected to the fixing block 204;

[0047] A limiting hole 5 is provided in the partition 1 , and the connector body 2 is slidably fitted in the limiting hole 5 . A snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is also provided in the partition 1 , and the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is used to fix the connector body 2 in the limiting hole 5 .

[0048] In this technical solution, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting rod 202 and the fixing block 204 are consistent with the inner diameter of the limiting hole 5 , and the cross-sectional dimension of the fixing rod 203 is smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting hole 5 .

[0049] During the assembly of the file storage box, the partition 1 needs to be connected to other plates. The implementation of this step depends on the connector body 2. First, the connector body 2 is inserted into the reserved hole of the other plates. Then, the connector body 2 continues to enter the limiting hole 5 on the partition 1, and applies pressure to the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 in the partition 1 to shrink the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, so that the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 moves to the space formed by the connecting rod 202 and the fixed block 204, and is close to the fixed rod 203, so that the partition 1 and other plates are firmly fixed together.

[0050] The connector body 2 first passes through the reserved hole in the other plate, then penetrates into the interior of the partition 1 to form an effective snap connection with the snap assembly 3. This process not only enables the rapid assembly of the file storage box, but also significantly improves work efficiency. When the file storage box needs to be disassembled, simply separate the connector body 2 from the snap assembly 3 and pull it out. The operation is simple and quick.

[0051] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 includes a first movable rod 301, a first movable cavity 6, a second movable rod 302 and a second movable cavity 7. The first movable cavity 6 and the second movable cavity 7 are in a communicating state. The end of the first movable cavity 6 away from the second movable cavity 7 is in communication with the limiting hole 5.

[0052] One end of the first movable rod 301 is connected to one end of the second movable rod 302, and they are slidably fitted in the first movable cavity 6 and the second movable cavity 7 respectively. The second movable rod 302 is provided with a return spring 303 located inside the second movable cavity 7, and the two ends of the return spring 303 are respectively connected to the top surface of the second movable rod 302 and one side of the inner wall of the second movable cavity 7.

[0053] The clamping assembly 3 is movably installed in the first movable cavity 6 and the second movable cavity 7, and one end of the clamping assembly 3 passes through the first movable cavity 6 and is located in the limiting hole 5; when the reset spring 303 is in a freely extended state, one end of the first movable rod 301 is located in the limiting hole 5.

[0054] When the fixed block 204 enters the limiting hole 5 and applies pressure to the first movable rod 301, the first movable rod 301 contracts along the length direction of the first movable cavity 6 after being pressurized. The contraction of the first movable rod 301 causes the return spring 303 to contract in the first movable cavity 6 and enter the second movable cavity 7 until the fixed block 204 exceeds the position of the first movable rod 301 in the limiting hole 5. After being unpressurized, the first movable rod 301 pops out from the first movable cavity 6 under the action of the return spring 303 and is clamped with the cross-section of the fixed block 204.

[0055] In this embodiment, the end surface of the first movable rod 301 away from the second movable rod 302 is inclined, and the fixing block 204 is in the shape of a semi-sphere.

[0056] When the semi-spherical fixing block 204 contacts the inclined end surface of one end of the first movable rod 301 , the first movable rod 301 can be pushed to slide in the first movable cavity 6 .

[0057] In this embodiment, a control component 4 is further provided in the partition 1 . The control component 4 is installed in the partition 1 and is used to control the first movable rod 301 and the second movable rod 302 to slide along the first movable cavity 6 and the second movable cavity 7 .

[0058] After the file storage box is assembled and used, it may need to be disassembled and reinstalled according to the actual needs of the user. To adjust the spacing of the partitions 1, the sliding control component 4 can be used. The control component 4 drives the second movable rod 302 and the first movable rod 301 to retract in the second movable cavity 7 and the first movable cavity 6, so that the end of the first movable rod 301 located in the limiting hole 5 is retracted into the first movable rod 301, thereby removing the connector body 2 from the limiting hole 5, making it easier to separate the partition 1 from other plates.

[0059] In this embodiment: the control assembly 4 includes a movable block 401 and a slide rod 402, the bottom surface of the movable block 401 is connected to the top of the slide rod 402, and the bottom end of the movable rod is connected to the end of the second movable rod 302 away from the first movable rod 301;

[0060] A limiting groove 403 is provided in the partition 1 , the bottom surface of the limiting groove 403 is connected to the second movable cavity 7 , the sliding rod 402 and the second movable rod 302 are slidably fitted in the limiting groove 403 , and the top surface of the movable block 401 is flush with the top surface of the partition 1 .

[0061] When the partition 1 needs to be removed, the user slides the movable block 401, and the movable block 401 drives the sliding rod 402 to slide in the limiting groove 403, and the sliding rod 402 drives the second movable rod 302 and the first movable rod 301 to retract in the second movable cavity 7 and the first movable cavity 6 respectively. At the same time, the end of the second movable rod 302 away from the first movable rod 301 slides along the length direction of the limiting groove 403 until the first movable rod 301 retracts from the limiting hole 5 to the first movable cavity 6, thereby removing the connecting member body 2 from the limiting hole 5.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
