[0022] 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 some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: a hardware connecting column, comprising a first column 1, a second column 2, an assembly column 3, a frustum 4, a connecting disc 5, a spring 6, a threaded sleeve 7, an annular sleeve 8, a turntable 9, a clamp 10, a conical surface 11, a through hole 12, a threaded hole 13, and a threaded column 14.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The first column 1 and the second column 2 are mounted on the lower part of the second column 2. Each of the two columns has an assembly column 3 mounted on its outer end, and each assembly column 3 has a frustum 4 mounted on its outer end. (See also...) Figure 2 Each of the inner cavities of the assembly column 3 is equipped with a connecting plate 5, and the mounting surface of the connecting plate 5 is connected to a spring piece 6. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 Each of the outer ends of the spring clip 6 is equipped with a clamp 10. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inner part of the truncated cone 4 is screwed with a threaded sleeve 7. Each end of the threaded sleeve 7 facing the clamp 10 is connected to an annular sleeve 8. The annular sleeve 8 has a conical surface 11 inside. A turntable 9 is fitted onto the outside of the threaded sleeve 7. There are 3-5 sets of spring pieces 6 and clamps 10. The inner sides of the spring pieces 6 and clamps 10 are flat, while the outer sides of the clamps 10 are conical. The shape of the conical surface 11 matches the shape of the clamp 10 after it is closed. The first column 1 or the second column 2 is fitted onto the surface of the external mounting part through the through hole 12. Then, the turntable 9 is rotated to make the threaded... Sleeve 7 and annular sleeve 8 move inward, thereby squeezing clamp 10 through conical surface 11, clamping clamp 10 onto the surface of external mounting component, thus completing the installation of the hardware connecting column. Furthermore, when installing or removing the hardware connecting column, only one rotation of turntable 9 is needed to clamp and release clamp 10, simplifying the installation process and reducing installation time. This facilitates the installation of multiple sets of hardware connecting columns. A through hole 12 is provided in the middle of the connecting disc 5 and threaded sleeve 7. The outer circumference of turntable 9 is equipped with anti-slip ridges. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5The first column 1 has a threaded hole 13 in the middle of its interior. The second column 2 has a threaded post 14 connected to the middle of its bottom end. The threaded post 14 is screwed into the inside of the threaded hole 13. By rotating the first column 1 or the second column 2 and with the cooperation of the threaded post 14 and the threaded hole 13, the distance between the first column 1 or the second column 2 can be adjusted, which makes it easy to adjust the overall height of the hardware connecting post. This allows it to be adjusted according to different connection requirements, so that the hardware connecting post can adapt to a variety of different application scenarios.

[0025] This solution uses the through hole 12 to fit the first column 1 or the second column 2 onto the surface of the external mounting component. Then, by rotating the turntable 9, the threaded sleeve 7 and the annular sleeve 8 move inward, so that the clamp 10 can be squeezed through the conical surface 11, thus clamping the clamp 10 onto the surface of the external mounting component. This completes the installation of the hardware connecting column. Furthermore, when installing or removing the hardware connecting column, only one rotation of the turntable 9 is needed to clamp and release the clamp 10, which simplifies the installation process of the hardware connecting column, reduces installation time, and facilitates the installation of multiple sets of hardware connecting columns.
