By snapping the snap-fit ​​assembly 320 to the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the first component 100 and the second component 200 are snapped together, forming a complete yoga pillar that the user can use as a yoga pillar. By separating the snap-fit ​​assembly 320 from the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the first component 100 and the second component 200 are separated, allowing them to be used individually as yoga pillows. Specifically, a user can use either the first component 100 or the second component 200; a user can use both the first component 100 and the second component 200 simultaneously, arranging them in any way; or a user can use the first component 100 while another user uses the second component 200, achieving multiple uses from one item and enriching the functions of the yoga column.

[0021] When the snap-fit ​​assembly 320 is snapped and fixed to the snap-fit ​​groove 310, the first component 100 and the second component 200 are snapped and fixed, so that the first component 100 and the second component 200 are combined to form a complete yoga column, the first component 100 and the second component 200 are assembled to form a complete cylinder, the first bottom wall 111 is directly opposite the second bottom wall 211, and the first outer cover 120 and the second outer cover 220 are assembled to form the side of the cylinder.

[0022] When the buckle assembly 320 is separated from the buckle slot 310, and the first component 100 is separated from the second component 200, and the first component 100 and the second component 200 are used as a yoga pillow, the first bottom wall 111 and the second bottom wall 211 face downwards, and the first outer cover 120 and the second outer cover 220 support the human body.

[0023] refer to Figure 2Furthermore, the latching assembly 320 includes a plurality of latching blocks 321, and a plurality of stop protrusions 311 are spaced apart on the latching groove 310. A notch 312 is formed between any two adjacent stop protrusions 311 to allow the latching block 321 to pass through. After the latching block 321 slides in the latching groove 310 to a position directly opposite the stop protrusion 311, the stop protrusion 311 prevents the latching block 321 from disengaging from the latching groove 310 along the direction in which the latching block 321 passes through the notch 312.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, when fixing the first component 100 and the second component 200, the first bottom wall 111 is positioned against the second bottom wall 211, bringing the first bottom wall 111 and the second bottom wall 211 closer together. After the latching block 321 enters the latching groove 310 from the notch 312, the first component 100 is translated relative to the second component 200, causing the latching block 321 to slide in the latching groove 310, so that the stop protrusion 311 faces the latching block 321. The stop protrusion 311 prevents the latching block 321 from disengaging from the latching groove 310 in a direction perpendicular to the first bottom wall 111. The stop protrusion 311 and the latching block 321 can be configured as an interference fit, utilizing the friction between the stop protrusion 311 and the latching block 321 to prevent the latching block 321 from sliding relative to the stop protrusion 311.

[0025] When it is necessary to separate the first component 100 and the second component 200, the first component 100 is translated relative to the second component 200, causing the latching block 321 to slide in the latching groove 310, so that the latching block 321 slides from the position opposite the stop protrusion 311 to the position opposite the notch 312, causing the first component 100 and the second component 200 to move away from each other, and the latching block 321 disengages from the latching groove 310 from the notch 312 position.

[0026] With multiple spaced-apart snap-fit ​​blocks 321, and multiple stop protrusions 311 and multiple notches 312 on the snap-fit ​​groove 310, when fixing or separating the first component 100 and the second component 200, the multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 321 can pass through the multiple notches 312 simultaneously, and the first component 100 and the second component 200 can translate to drive the snap-fit ​​blocks 321 to slide a short distance in the snap-fit ​​groove 310, so that the stop protrusions 311 can switch between the position facing the snap-fit ​​blocks 321 and the position facing the notches 312, realizing quick assembly and disassembly between the first component 100 and the second component 200.

[0027] Furthermore, the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​block 321 is set as trapezoidal, and the snap-fit ​​groove 310 is provided with a trapezoidal mating cavity at the position of the stop protrusion 311.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, when fixing the first component 100 and the second component 200, the latching block 321 is slid to a position directly opposite the stop protrusion 311. At this time, the latching block 321 is located in the trapezoidal mating cavity, and the stop protrusion 311 can prevent the latching block 321 from disengaging from the trapezoidal mating cavity in a direction perpendicular to the first bottom wall 111, thus ensuring the reliability of the stop protrusion 311 in stopping the latching block 321.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 and 3 Furthermore, the number of latching mechanisms 300 is set to two, with the latching groove 310 of one latching mechanism 300 and the latching assembly 320 of the other latching mechanism 300 respectively disposed on the first bottom wall 111, and the latching assembly 320 of one latching mechanism 300 and the latching groove 310 of the other latching mechanism 300 respectively disposed on the second bottom wall 211.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, the number of snap-fit ​​mechanisms 300 is set to two. When fixing the first component 100 and the second component 200, both snap-fit ​​mechanisms 300 are in a fixed state, ensuring the reliability of fixing the first component 100 and the second component 200.

[0031] The buckle slot 310 of one buckle mechanism 300 and the buckle component 320 of another buckle mechanism 300 are respectively set on the first bottom wall 111, and the buckle component 320 of one buckle mechanism 300 and the buckle slot 310 of another buckle mechanism 300 are respectively set on the second bottom wall 211. That is, the first body 110 and the second body 210 have the same structure. When producing the multifunctional yoga column, there is no need to distinguish between the first body 110 and the second body 210, which reduces the difficulty of production and reduces the production cost.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, the bottom of the latching groove 310 on the first bottom wall 111 and the bottom of the latching assembly 320 are both located on a first plane, wherein the first plane is parallel to the first bottom wall 111. The bottom of the latching groove 310 on the second bottom wall 211 and the bottom of the latching assembly 320 are both located on a second plane, wherein the second plane is parallel to the second bottom wall 211.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, when the first component 100 and the second component 200 are separated and the first component 100 is used as a yoga pillow, the bottom of the buckle groove 310 on the first bottom wall 111 and the bottom of the buckle component 320 are in contact with the ground, and the bottom of the buckle groove 310 on the first bottom wall 111 and the bottom of the buckle component 320 are located on the first plane, ensuring that the first component 100 can be placed stably on the ground when used as a yoga pillow.

[0034] When the first component 100 and the second component 200 are separated, and the second component 200 is used as a yoga pillow, the bottom of the buckle groove 310 on the second bottom wall 211 and the bottom of the buckle assembly 320 are in contact with the ground, and the bottom of the buckle groove 310 on the second bottom wall 211 and the bottom of the buckle assembly 320 are located on the second plane, ensuring that the second component 200 can be placed stably on the ground when used as a yoga pillow.
