[0049] In this way, the first connecting piece 10 can be connected with second connecting pieces 20 of different shapes, improving the versatility of the first connecting piece 10.

[0050] The connecting assembly 100 has the advantages that: compared with the prior art, when the second connecting piece 20 is provided with the clamping portion 2111, the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 can be connected through the clamping groove 12 of the first connecting piece 10, and when the second connecting piece 20 is provided with the protruding portion, the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 can be rotatably connected through the ring groove 16 of the first connecting piece 10, so that the first connecting piece 10 of the connecting assembly 100 has high versatility, and the connecting assembly 100 has the advantage of high versatility.

[0051] In some embodiments provided by the application, the second connecting piece 20 comprises a tab 21 provided with a clamping portion 2111, the tab 21 can be fitted into the groove 11, so that the clamping portion 2111 can be fitted into the clamping groove 12, and the tab 21 can be bent in a direction away from the clamping groove 12, so that the clamping portion 2111 is detached from the clamping groove 12.

[0052] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 When the tab 21 is fitted into the groove 11, the fixed end 2112 of the tab 21 is fixed to the groove bottom of the groove 11, at least part of the tab 21 extends in the first direction x, the clamping portion 2111 can extend into the groove 11, and the groove 11 extends in the second direction z, so as to limit the relative movement of the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 in the first direction x through the clamping portion 2111.

[0053] The free end 2122 of the tab 21 can swing in the second direction z to bend the tab 21, the clamping portion 2111 is arranged at one end of the tab 21 in the second direction z towards the clamping groove 12, the free end 2122 of the tab 21 is pried towards the side away from the clamping groove 12, the tab 21 is bent towards the side away from the clamping groove 12, the clamping portion 2111 is detached from the clamping groove 12, so that the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 can move relatively in the first direction x, thereby dismounting the first connecting piece 10 from the second connecting piece 20.

[0054] Therefore, the relative locking of the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 is realized through the clamping portion 2111 arranged on the tab 21, and the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23 are unlocked by prying the tab 21, so that the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23 are detachably connected.

[0055] In some embodiments provided in the present application, the first connecting member 10 comprises a guide portion 13, which is arranged in the second direction z away from the first device 101, the second direction z being the axial direction of the first connecting member 10, so as to form the groove 11 between the guide portion 13 and the first device 101, and the tab 21 is arranged in the second direction z away from the second device 102, so as to form the guide groove between the tab 21 and the second device 102, and the guide portion 13 can be fitted into the guide groove.

[0056] Specifically, the first connecting member 10 is provided with a recess portion (not shown in the figure), which is in communication with the end of the first connecting member 10 in the first direction x and with both ends of the first connecting member 10 in the second direction z, and the guide portion 13 is arranged in the recess portion and extends along the first direction x, and the guide portion 13 has a set interval with the first device 101, so as to form the groove 11 between the guide portion 13 and the top surface of the first device 101.

[0057] At least part of the tab 21 extends along the xOy plane shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , and the tab 21 has a set interval with the second device 102 in the second direction z, so as to form the guide groove between the tab 21 and the bottom surface of the second device 102, and the guide groove extends along the first direction x, so that the guide portion 13 can be fitted into the guide groove.

[0058] Therefore, by arranging the guide portion 13 in the first connecting member 10 and the guide groove in the second connecting member 20, on the one hand, when the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 are clamped, the relative movement of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 along the first direction x can be guided by the cooperation of the guide portion 13 and the guide groove, and on the other hand, the relative movement of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 along the second direction z can be prevented by the cooperation of the guide portion 13 and the guide groove.

[0059] In some embodiments provided in the present application, when the tab 21 is fitted into the groove 11, the tab 21 is arranged away from the guide portion 13 in the second direction z, so that the guide portion 13 avoids the tab 21 when the tab 21 is bent.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the guide portion 13 is located on the side of the tab 21 away from the first device 101 in the second direction z, and the clamping portion 2111 is located on the side of the tab 21 towards the first device 101 in the second direction z.

[0061] Therefore, by avoiding the tab 21 with the guide portion 13, the tab 21 can be bent away from the first device 101, so that the clamping portion 2111 is pulled out of the clamping groove 12.

[0062] In some embodiments provided in the present application, the end face of the guiding portion 13 away from the first device 101 can abut against the second device 102, and the end face of the tab 21 away from the second device 102 can abut against the first device 101.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 when the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 are connected by clamping, the end face of the first connecting piece 10 close to the second device 102 abuts against the bottom face of the second device 102, and the end face of the second connecting piece 20 close to the first device 101, i.e. the tab 21, abuts against the top face of the first device 101.

[0064] Thus, the contact area between the first connecting piece 10 and the second device 102 is increased by the abutment of the guiding portion 13 and the first device 101, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first device 101 and the second device 102.

[0065] In some embodiments provided in the present application, the first connecting piece 10 further comprises first and second avoiding grooves 14 and 15 arranged in parallel and at intervals along a third direction y, the third direction y being orthogonal to the first direction x and the third direction y being orthogonal to the second direction z.

[0066] The second connecting piece 20 comprises first and second connecting portions 22 and 23 arranged in parallel and at intervals along the third direction y, the first connecting portion 22 being connected between the tab 21 and the second device 102 and being capable of being fitted into the first avoiding groove 14, and the second connecting portion 23 being connected between the tab 21 and the second device 102 and being capable of being fitted into the second avoiding groove 15.

[0067] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 the two side walls of the guiding portion 13 and the recess portion in the third direction y are spaced apart, so that the one side wall of the guiding portion 13 and the recess portion in the third direction y forms the first avoiding groove 14, and the other side wall of the guiding portion 13 and the recess portion in the third direction y forms the second avoiding groove 15.

[0068] One end of the first avoiding groove 14 is connected to the end of the fixed end 2112 of the groove 11 in the third direction y, and the other end of the first avoiding groove 14 extends to the end of the first connecting piece 10 away from the first device 101 along the second direction z, and one end of the second avoiding groove 15 is connected to the other end of the fixed end 2112 of the groove 11 in the third direction y, and the other end of the second avoiding groove 15 extends to the end of the first connecting piece 10 away from the first device 101 along the second direction z.

[0069] Thus, the first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 fix the fixed end 2112 of the paddle 21 to the second device 102, thereby increasing the strength of the fixed end 2112 of the paddle 21 and preventing the paddle 21 from breaking when elastic deformation occurs, and passing through the first clearance groove 14 and the second clearance groove 15.

[0070] In some embodiments provided in this application, one of the guide portion 13 and the first connecting portion 22 is provided with a first sliding groove 131, the first sliding groove 131 extends along a first direction x, and the other of the guide portion 13 and the first connecting portion 22 is provided with a first slider 221, the first slider 221 being slidably fitted into the first sliding groove 131;

[0071] One of the guide portion 13 and the second connecting portion 23 is provided with a second slide groove 132, which extends along the first direction x. The other of the guide portion 13 and the second connecting portion 23 is provided with a second slider 231, which can be slidably fitted into the second slide groove 132.

[0073] Therefore, when the guide part 13 is installed in the guide groove, the first slider 221 can be slidably engaged in the first slide groove 131, and the second slider 231 can be slidably engaged in the second slide groove 132. On the one hand, this can increase the guiding performance when the guide part 13 is installed in the guide groove. On the other hand, the first slider 221 and the second slider 231 can bear the weight of the first device 101, so that the force of the second connector 20 on the first connector 10 is evenly distributed, thereby increasing the stability of the connection assembly 100 provided in this application.

[0074] In other embodiments (not shown in the figures), a first groove 131 is provided on the surface of the first connecting portion 22 facing the guide portion 13, a second groove 132 is provided on the surface of the second connecting portion 23 facing the guide portion 13, a first slider 221 is provided on the surface of the guide portion 13 facing the first connecting portion 22, and a second slider 231 is provided on the surface of the guide portion 13 facing the second connecting portion 23.

[0076] The second sliding groove 132 is arranged on the guide portion, the second sliding block 231 is arranged on the second connecting portion 23, the second sliding block 231 comprises a third protruding strip 2311 and a fourth protruding strip 2312, the third protruding strip 2311 and the fourth protruding strip 2312 both extend along the first direction x, and the third protruding strip 2311 and the fourth protruding strip 2312 are arranged at intervals along the second direction z, the third protruding strip 2311 abuts against the inner wall of the second sliding groove 132 close to the third protruding strip 2311 in the second direction z, and the fourth protruding strip 2312 abuts against the inner wall of the second sliding groove 132 close to the fourth protruding strip 2312 in the second direction z.

[0077] The first protruding strip 2211 is located on the side of the second protruding strip 2212 facing the first device 101, a part of the guide portion 13 abuts between the first protruding strip 2211 and the first device 101, and another part of the guide portion 13 abuts between the second protruding strip 2212 and the second device 102, the third protruding strip 2311 is located on the side of the fourth protruding strip 2312 facing the first device 101, a part of the guide portion 13 abuts between the third protruding strip 2311 and the first device 101, and another part of the guide portion 13 abuts between the fourth protruding strip 2312 and the second device 102.

[0078] Therefore, on the one hand, the first protruding strip 2211, the second protruding strip 2212, the third protruding strip 2311 and the fourth protruding strip 2312 increase the guiding property when the guide portion cooperates between the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23, on the other hand, the first protruding strip 2211, the second protruding strip 2212, the third protruding strip 2311 and the fourth protruding strip 2312 increase the contact area between the guide portion 13 and the first connecting portion 22, and increase the contact area between the guide portion 13 and the second connecting portion 23, thereby improving the carrying capacity of the connecting assembly 100 in the second direction z.

[0079] In some embodiments provided in the present application, the dial 21 comprises a first portion 211 and a second portion 212, the first portion 211 extends into the recess 11 at one end of the first direction x and is connected between the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 23, the first portion 211 extends outside the slot of the recess 11 at the other end of the first direction x and is connected with the second portion 212, the second portion 212 extends in a direction away from the first device 101, and the end of the second portion 212 away from the first portion 211 extends along the first direction x.
