Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to mechanical connection components, and more particularly to an insert-type connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modular installation, traditional connection methods typically employ bolts, welding, or adhesives. While these methods enable the connection of modular components, they have limitations in terms of installation efficiency, ease of disassembly, and reusability. In recent years, with the increasing popularity of modular design, rapid connection technology has gradually become a research hotspot in this field.

[0003] Bolted connections require tools for tightening, and the installation and disassembly process is relatively cumbersome. The threads are easily damaged after repeated disassembly. Although welded connections are strong, they are difficult to disassemble and are not suitable for occasions that require frequent replacement. Although adhesive connections are simple, the adhesive has a long curing time and is difficult to reuse after disassembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide an insert connector that is fast to install, easy to install, easy to disassemble, and has good reusability.

[0005] Technical solution: The insert connector of this utility model includes a body. The base of the body has a first hole and a second hole opened sequentially from the outside to the inside. A screw and a bushing are installed sequentially in the second hole. A retaining ring for fixing the bushing is also provided in the second hole.

[0006] Preferably, the diameter of the first hole is smaller than the diameter of the screw head, so as to limit the screw and prevent it from falling out.

[0007] Preferably, the body is U-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the width of the two sides of the body gradually decreases from its base inwards to allow the two modular components to be connected more tightly.

[0009] Preferably, the two sides of the body are H-shaped or U-shaped so that the connector can be inserted into the guide groove of the module during use.

[0010] Preferably, the screws are countersunk screws so that they are flush with the surface of the module after tightening, making the connected module more aesthetically pleasing.

[0011] Preferably, the retaining ring is a retaining ring for holes.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: (1) Improved installation efficiency: Through the design of screws and retaining rings, two modular parts can be quickly installed together without complicated tools or long curing time. The installation is simple and fast; (2) Easy to disassemble: The locking mechanism composed of screws, bushings and retaining rings in the connector can be easily unlocked to realize the quick disassembly between the two modular parts, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance; (3) Good reusability: The connector has a reasonable structural design and will not be damaged after disassembly. It can be reused multiple times; (4) Simple to use: In the whole process of using the connector, only one matching wrench is needed, and no other tools are required. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the insert connector of this utility model includes a body 1. The base of the body 1 has a first hole 2 and a second hole 3 sequentially opened from the outside to the inside. The second hole 3 is fitted with a screw 4 and a bushing 5 in sequence. The second hole 3 is also provided with a retaining ring 6 for fixing the bushing 5.

[0033] The diameter of the first hole 2 is smaller than the diameter of the screw head 4, so as to limit the screw 4 and prevent it from falling out.

[0034] Body 1 is U-shaped.

[0035] The width of the two sides of the main body 1 gradually decreases from the base of the main body 1 inwards, so that the two modular parts can be connected more tightly.

[0036] The two sides of the main body 1 are H-shaped so that the connector can be inserted into the guide groove of the module when in use.

[0037] Screw 4 is a countersunk screw, so that it is flush with the surface of the module after tightening, making the connected module more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] The retaining ring 6 is a retaining ring for the hole.

[0039] When assembling the connector described in this utility model, the countersunk screw is placed inside the bushing 5, and then both are placed into the second hole 3. Subsequently, a retaining ring is inserted into the second hole 3 using snap ring pliers to fix the bushing 5 and the countersunk screw. Since the diameter of the first hole 2 is smaller than the diameter of the countersunk screw head, the countersunk screw will not fall out of the body 1.

[0040] When using the connector described in this utility model to connect two modular components, the two modular components are joined together, and the I-shaped guide blocks on both sides of the connector body are inserted into the guide grooves of the two modular components respectively. The countersunk screws are aligned with the screw holes in the modular components used to fix the bolts, and the screws are tightened with a wrench. This completes the connection of the two modular components using the connector. The connector described in this embodiment is mainly used in scenarios where two modular components need to be connected vertically. In this case, the connector is inserted horizontally into the two modular components.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] like Figure 10-17 As shown, the similarities between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here. The differences are as follows:

[0043] The main body 1 is not U-shaped; the two sides of the main body 1 are located in the middle of its base.

[0044] The two sides of the main body 1 are U-shaped.

[0045] The connector described in this embodiment is mainly used in scenarios where two modular components need to be connected in the horizontal direction. In this case, the connector is inserted vertically into the two modular components.
