[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Example

[0030] See Figure 1-7 As shown:

[0031] This utility model provides a foldable connector and hanging rod, including: a fixed base 10, a connecting rod 20, a connector 30, a plug 40, and a hook.

[0032] The connecting rod 20 includes a hollow rod 21. The connecting piece 30 is disposed between two adjacent connecting rods 20.

[0033] Both ends of the hollow rod 21 are provided with insertion holes 24, and both ends of the connecting rod 20 are provided with connecting protrusions 23; the insertion holes 24 and the two ends of the connecting piece 30 form an insertion fit. The connecting protrusions 23 and the two ends of the connecting piece 30 form a snap-fit.

[0034] The fixed base 10 includes a vertical plate 11, a connecting plate 12, a steering seat 13, and a snap-fit ​​cylinder 14.

[0035] In practical applications, the vertical plate 11 is connected to the wall. The vertical plate 11 can be bonded to the wall with structural adhesive or fixed to the wall with screws. A slot is provided on one side of the connecting plate 12, and the slot and the vertical plate 11 form a snap-fit ​​connection, which facilitates disassembly and installation in actual use.

[0036] The steering seat 13 is located on the other side of the connecting plate 12 and is rotatably connected to one side of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 14. The other side of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 14 is engaged with the insertion hole 24 at one end of the hollow rod 21, and the top of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 14 is provided with a snap-fit ​​square hole 141, which engages with the connecting protrusion 23.

[0037] With this setup, users can turn the connecting rod 20 around the steering seat 13 by bending it, thereby adjusting the angle between the connecting rod 20 and the wall.

[0038] The hook is also installed on the wall; the end cap 40 includes a connecting tube 41 and a hollow end 42.

[0039] One side of the connecting tube 41 is connected to the insertion hole 24 at one end of the hollow rod 21, and the top of the connecting tube 41 is provided with a snap-fit ​​square hole 411, which is snapped in conjunction with the connecting protrusion 23; the bottom of the hollow end 42 is provided with a cylindrical groove 421, which is mortise and tenon with the hook, so that the plug 40 and the hook form a detachable connection.

[0040] With this design, after the hanging rod consisting of multiple connecting rods 20 is adjusted for use, both ends of the hanging rod can be connected to the wall, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the objects suspended in the middle of the hanging rod.

[0041] Furthermore, the fixed base 10, multiple connecting rods 20, foldable connectors, end caps 40, and hooks can be combined to form a frame-shaped or straight rod structure for hanging rods that connect to the same or adjacent walls. The frame-shaped or straight rod structure allows for the hanging of shower curtains, curtains, or clothing, depending on usage needs, thus expanding the application scenarios of the hanging rod in actual use.

[0042] A hanging plate is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 20 along its length, and the hanging plate has a hanging hole 22 or a slide rail along its length. The hanging hole 22 or slide rail allows the hanging rod to suspend different objects according to the usage scenario.

[0043] Since the multiple connecting rods 20 of the entire hanging rod need to be used at varying angles in practical applications, the connector 30 is designed as a foldable connector.

[0044] The foldable connector includes a connecting part 30a, a rotating part 30b, and a limiting part.

[0045] One side of the connecting part 30a is connected to the object to be connected, which is generally the connecting rod 20. The other side of the connecting part 30a is connected to the rotating part 30b. The rotating part 30b and the two adjacent connecting parts 30a form a rotational connection on the same horizontal plane, so that the two connecting parts 30a can rotate relative to each other, completing a connection form that is parallel, in the same straight line, or has a certain angle between them.

[0046] The limiting part is installed on the connecting part 30a and the rotating part 30b to restrict the free rotation of two adjacent connecting parts 30a in the horizontal plane, thereby fixing the angle between the two connecting parts 30a and improving the stability of the multiple connecting rods 20 after the angle adjustment is completed.

[0047] The connecting part 30a includes a connecting cylinder 31.

[0048] In practical applications, one side of the connecting cylinder 31 is designated as the flat end, and the other side as the vertical end. The vertical end has an outward-facing flange that can wrap around the end of the hollow rod 21. A snap-fit ​​hole 311 is provided on the outward-facing flange, which engages with the connecting protrusion 23 on the hollow rod 21. During installation, when the hollow rod 21 is inserted into the outward-facing flange, the connecting protrusion 23 compresses and deforms the outward-facing flange, allowing the snap-fit ​​hole 311 to engage smoothly with the connecting protrusion 23 on the hollow rod 21.

[0049] The rotating part 30b mainly consists of a gear 32, a figure-eight connecting block 33, and a pin 34.

[0050] In practical applications, the pin 34 can be a bolt or a latch. The gear 32 is cylindrical, with one side of the gear 32 fitting against the flat end of the connecting cylinder 31, and the other side meshing with a gear 32 on an adjacent connecting cylinder 31. Both the figure-eight connecting block 33 and the gear 32 have through holes at their centers through which the pin 34 passes, and the figure-eight connecting block 33 and the top and / or bottom of the gear 32 form a rotatable connection.

[0051] In practical use, for aesthetic reasons, figure-eight shaped connecting blocks 33 are provided above and below the gear 32. Two pins 34 are passed through the through holes at the center of the two ends of the figure-eight shaped connecting blocks 33 and the center of the gear 32, respectively, and are connected together to form two rotating shafts that are parallel in the vertical direction.

[0052] This allows the two connecting cylinders 31 to rotate relative to each other on the horizontal plane, thereby adjusting the included angle between the two connecting cylinders 31, that is, adjusting the angle of the connecting rod 20 of the entire connecting piece 30.

[0053] In order to make it easy to fix the use angle of the connector 30, the limiting part is composed of a vertical ridge 331 and an elastic ridge 312.

[0054] Vertical ribs 331 are set at both ends of the figure-eight connecting block 33 and are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of both ends of the figure-eight connecting block 33. The spacing between adjacent vertical ribs 331 is the same as the tooth pitch of the gear 32. Generally, the tooth pitch is equal to the tooth pitch of the gear 32.

[0055] A hollow hole is provided on the flat end of the connecting cylinder 31, and a vertical strip is provided in the hollow hole; the elastic rib 312 is arranged on the vertical strip in the hollow hole, and the gap between the elastic rib 312 and the two adjacent vertical ribs 331 forms a snap-fit.

[0056] In practical applications, the rotation of gear 32 drives the rotation of connecting cylinder 31. Since the vertical strip in the hollow hole has a certain deformation recovery ability after being squeezed, the locking position between the elastic rib 312 and the vertical rib 331 can be adjusted in real time as gear 32 rotates. When the operator completes the adjustment of the use angle of connecting cylinder 31, the included angle between the two connecting cylinders 31 no longer changes.

[0057] In addition, considering the stability of the fixed base 10, the same limiting part is also provided on the steering seat 13 and the snap-fit ​​tube 14, so that the angle between the snap-fit ​​tube 14 and the steering seat 13 can also be fixed, thus improving the stability of the entire hanging rod.

[0058] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., these directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached drawings. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly. Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first," "second," etc., these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where A and B are simultaneously satisfied. Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.
