Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of furniture, in particular to a furniture connection structure and a furniture assembly. Background Art

[0002] Traditional furniture structures are mostly fixed structures with a simple design and occupy a large space, which is difficult to meet the usage needs of modern society. Therefore, with the development of society, modular furniture has appeared on the market that can be spliced ​​or disassembled by users according to their own needs. This type of modular furniture is composed of multiple furniture modules and can be spliced ​​into tables, benches, etc. of different shapes and structures.

[0003] However, the structure of the two assembled furniture components is not stable. For example, two assembled tables can be put together to form a table with a larger tabletop. When any of the tables is subjected to external force, since the two tables are not connected to each other, they are prone to lateral displacement after being subjected to the force, affecting normal use; if the force is large, a large gap will appear at the joint between the two tables, and the items placed on the table may fall to the ground, which may easily cause safety hazards and affect the user experience of the table. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a furniture connection structure, by providing a socket and a plug-in boss between the connecting piece and the assembly module, so that multiple assembly modules can be indirectly connected and kept laterally fixed.

[0005] Furthermore, a furniture assembly is provided to connect the furniture to be connected with the corresponding assembly module, thereby realizing transverse fixation between multiple furniture to be connected.

[0006] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] A furniture connection structure includes a connector and multiple assembly modules. The assembly modules include splicing end faces facing the connector. One of the splicing end face and the connector is provided with a plug-in boss, and the outer contour area of ​​the plug-in boss is smaller than the outer contour area of ​​the assembly module. The other of the splicing end face and the connector is provided with a plug-in hole that matches the plug-in boss, and the plug-in boss is inserted into the plug-in hole, so that the multiple assembly modules are indirectly connected.

[0008] Preferably, the plug-in boss is arranged on the inner side of the splicing end face, and the plug-in hole is arranged on the connecting piece.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the plug-in boss is the same as the depth of the plug-in hole. When the plug-in boss is inserted into the plug-in hole, the splicing end face fits with the connector, so that the connector supports the assembly module.

[0010] A furniture assembly includes a plurality of furniture to be connected and the furniture connection structure, wherein the plug-in boss is arranged on the inner side of the splicing end surface and the plug-in hole is arranged on the connector; the furniture to be connected is connected with the corresponding assembly module.

[0011] Preferably, the opposite end of the splicing end face has a mating end face, which is recessed inward and formed with a mating hole that can match the plug-in boss; each piece of furniture to be connected is pre-connected with an intermediate module, and the structure of the intermediate module is the same as that of the assembly module; the plug-in boss of the intermediate module is inserted into the mating hole of the assembly module, so that multiple pieces of furniture to be connected are indirectly connected.

[0012] Preferably, a through hole concentric with the matching hole is provided at the bottom of the matching hole; the through hole can reduce the weight of the assembled module.

[0013] Preferably, the depth of the matching hole is greater than the thickness of the plug-in boss, so that the weight of the assembled module is further reduced.

[0014] Preferably, an anti-rotation structure is provided between the intermediate module and the assembly module, and the anti-rotation structure includes a plurality of inwardly recessed teeth uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer end face of the plug-in boss, and a plurality of teeth matching the teeth grooves distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the mating hole. The teeth grooves are open outward along the width direction of the assembly module, and when the plug-in boss is inserted into the mating hole, the teeth grooves match with the teeth.

[0015] Preferably, a dovetail groove which gradually narrows from the outside to the inside is formed between every two adjacent teeth in the mating hole, and an insert block which matches the dovetail groove is formed between every two tooth grooves on the splicing end face. When the teeth of the two assembly modules are matched with the tooth grooves, the insert block is matched with the dovetail groove and a gap is left. The reserved gap can facilitate the plugging and unplugging assembly between the assembly modules, and compared with the regular rectangular groove, when the assembly module and the intermediate module tend to move horizontally relative to each other, the inward narrowing structure of the dovetail groove can restrict the insert block, so that the structure of the furniture component is more stable.

[0016] Preferably, a gap is left between the bottom of the tooth groove and the joint end face, creating a reserved space between the intermediate module and the assembly module. A retaining ring can be optionally connected to this reserved space. Without the retaining ring, the reserved space creates a decorative effect similar to bamboo joints. When the retaining ring is connected, the assembly module and the intermediate module form a seamless visual effect. This design allows users to select the desired decorative effect.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model using the above technical solution are:

[0018] 1. By setting an integrated connector and opening a socket and a plug-in boss structure between the connector and the assembly module, the furniture to be connected can be fixed in the horizontal direction after being connected to the assembly module, ensuring the normal use of the furniture component, avoiding lateral displacement due to external force, and improving the user experience of the furniture component.

[0019] 2. The furniture to be connected is pre-connected with an intermediate module with the same structure as the assembly module, and by providing a matching hole on the matching end face opposite to the splicing end face, the furniture to be connected with the intermediate module can achieve an indirect connection effect of multiple furniture to be connected by a simple plug-in and pull-out process, with a simple structure and efficient assembly and disassembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] The specific implementation methods of the utility model are as follows:

[0035] like Figure 1-11 As shown, this embodiment provides a furniture connection structure, including a connector 5 and multiple assembly modules 1, and the assembly module 1 is made of EPP material; EPP is a foamed polypropylene material with low weight, high pressure resistance and excellent performance; the assembly module 1 includes a splicing end face 12 facing the connector 5, and a plug-in boss 121 is provided on the splicing end face 12 and one of the connectors 5, and the outer contour area of ​​the plug-in boss 121 is smaller than the outer contour area of ​​the assembly module 1; a plug-in hole 51 matching the plug-in boss 121 is provided on the splicing end face 12 and the other of the connectors 5, and the plug-in boss 121 is inserted into the plug-in hole 51, so that the multiple assembly modules 1 are indirectly connected.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shape of the assembly module 1 can be many, each with a different visual effect. For example, the assembly module 1 can be a cylinder; the cylindrical shape is relatively smooth, which can create a simple and comfortable visual effect in appearance; the assembly module 1 can also be a prism (not shown); the appearance of the prism has multiple edges, which can create a sharp visual effect in appearance.

[0037] Furthermore, the plug-in boss 121 can be set on the connector 5 or on the splicing end face 12. In this embodiment, the plug-in boss 121 is set on the inner side of the splicing end face 12, and the plug-in hole 51 is set on the connector 5 for explanation. Specifically, the thickness of the plug-in boss 121 is the same as the depth of the plug-in hole 51. When the plug-in boss 121 is inserted into the plug-in hole 51, the splicing end face 12 is fitted with the connector 5, so that the connector 5 forms a support for the assembly module 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom end of the connecting member 5 is connected to a plurality of supporting legs 31 in contact with the ground; the supporting legs 31 can separate the connecting member 5 from the ground to prevent the connecting member 5 from being worn against the ground when moving.

[0039] Furthermore, the multiple assembly modules 1 on the furniture connection structure can be connected to the furniture that needs to be connected horizontally to achieve the effect of lateral limitation. Therefore, this embodiment provides a furniture component, including multiple furniture to be connected and the furniture connection structure. The plug-in boss 121 in the furniture connection structure is arranged on the inner side of the splicing end face 12, and the plug-in hole 51 is arranged on the connector 5; the furniture to be connected is connected to the corresponding assembly module 1; the connection method between the furniture to be connected and the assembly module 1 is various. The plug-in method is adopted in this embodiment. Specifically, the opposite end of the splicing end face 12 has a matching end face 11, which is recessed inward and formed with a matching hole 111 that can match the plug-in boss 121; each piece of furniture to be connected is pre-connected with an intermediate module 1a, and the intermediate module 1a has the same structure as the assembly module 1; the plug-in boss 121 of the intermediate module 1a is inserted into the matching hole 111 of the assembly module 1, so that multiple pieces of furniture to be connected are indirectly connected.

[0040] Furthermore, the structures of the furniture to be connected are diverse. For example, two pieces of furniture to be connected are horizontally connected. Figure 10 As shown, for example, the furniture to be connected are a first piece of furniture 41 and a second piece of furniture 42, both of which include a support plate 4 and two assembly modules 1 at both ends of the support plate 4, the bottom end of the assembly module 1 is connected to a chassis 3, and the bottom end of the chassis 3 is connected to a support leg 31 in contact with the ground; when connecting, first remove the chassis 3 of the first piece of furniture 41 and the second piece of furniture 42, and insert the plug-in boss 121 at the bottom end of the corresponding assembly module 1 into the plug-in hole 51; for example, Figure 11 As shown, the first furniture 41 and the second furniture 42 are both pre-connected with an intermediate module 1a, which can also achieve a horizontal connection effect by simply inserting the plug-in boss 121 on the intermediate module 1a into the matching hole 111 of the assembly module 1 in the furniture connection structure.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to reduce weight, multiple weight-reducing designs are made on the assembly module 1. For example, a through hole 13 concentric with the mating hole 111 is provided at the bottom of the mating hole 111; the through hole 13 can reduce the weight of the assembly module 1; in addition, a weight-reducing hole 14 concentric with the mating hole 111 is provided on the outer end face of the plug-in boss 121.

[0042] Furthermore, the depth of the mating hole 111 is greater than the thickness of the plug-in boss 121; after providing a mating length that matches the plug-in boss 121, the mating hole 111 that exceeds the plug-in boss 121 can play a weight-reducing role, thereby further reducing the weight of the assembly module 1.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to prevent the intermediate module 1a and the assembly module 1 from rotating relative to each other, an anti-rotation structure is provided between the intermediate module 1a and the assembly module 1. The anti-rotation structure includes a plurality of inwardly recessed tooth grooves 122 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer end face of the plug-in boss 121, and a plurality of tooth portions 112 that can match the tooth grooves 122 distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the mating hole 111. The tooth grooves 122 are open outward along the width direction of the assembly module 1. When the plug-in boss 121 is inserted into the mating hole 111, the tooth grooves 122 are matched with the tooth portions 112.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, a dovetail groove 113 which gradually narrows from the outside to the inside is formed between every two adjacent teeth 112 in the mating hole 111, and an insert 123 which matches the dovetail groove 113 is formed between every two tooth grooves 122 on the splicing end face 12. When the teeth 112 of the two assembly modules 1 are matched with the tooth grooves 122, the insert 123 is matched with the dovetail groove 113 and a gap is left. The reserved gap can facilitate the plugging and unplugging assembly between the assembly modules 1, and compared with a regular rectangular groove, when the assembly module 1 and the intermediate module 1a tend to move laterally relative to each other, the inward narrowing structure of the dovetail groove 113 can restrict the insert 123, so that the plug-in effect of the intermediate module 1a and the assembly module 1 is more stable.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to achieve different visual effects, a distance is left between the bottom of the tooth groove 122 and the splicing end face 12, so that a reserved space 15 is formed between the intermediate module 1a and the assembly module 1, and a retaining ring 2 can be selectively connected to the reserved space 15; when the retaining ring 2 is not connected, the reserved space 15 can produce a bamboo-like decorative effect in appearance, and when the retaining ring 2 is connected, the assembly module 1 and the intermediate module 1a form a seamless visual effect in appearance; this design allows users to choose the corresponding decorative effect according to their own preferences.

[0046] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
