Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, and in particular to a connector and a sunroom having the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the photovoltaic industry, the demand for sunrooms is constantly increasing. The main beams and columns of sunrooms are all metal structures. If all welding is used during construction, the lack of professional welders or prolonged rainy weather will cause welding work to be scheduled sequentially, affecting the overall construction progress. Therefore, to reduce welding operations in sunroom construction, some detachable connection solutions for the main beams and columns have emerged on the market, using connectors to install the main beams onto the columns.

[0003] However, some existing connectors use mortise and tenon joints to connect to the main beam and columns separately, which results in complex structures and high costs. Furthermore, when the sunroom is subjected to external forces, the mortise and tenon joints can loosen, damage, or even disintegrate, leading to instability in the welded structure and poor overall structural stability of the connectors. Additionally, some existing connectors only have a vertical connecting plate on one side of the main beam, and the multiple screw holes on the connecting plate are vertically aligned at the same height. This provides insufficient vertical support for the main beam, making it prone to downward tilting or even swaying, further contributing to poor overall structural stability of the connectors. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a connector that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems, and a sunroom having the connector.

[0005] One objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to provide a connector with a simple structure.

[0006] A further objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to improve the structural strength of the connector.

[0007] Another further objective of the first aspect of this utility model is to improve the structural stability of the connector.

[0008] A second aspect of this utility model aims to provide a sunroom that allows for convenient connection between the main beam and the column.

[0009] Specifically, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a connector comprising:

[0010] A substrate having a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface facing opposite directions.

[0011] At least one first mounting plate extends perpendicularly outward from a first mounting surface, and at least one first fixing hole is formed thereon to facilitate mounting the first mounting plate onto the first structural member by inserting fasteners; and

[0012] At least one second mounting plate extends vertically outward from the second mounting surface and is perpendicular to the first mounting plate. At least one second fixing hole may be formed on the second mounting plate to facilitate mounting the second mounting plate on the second structural member by inserting fasteners.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector also includes:

[0014] At least one reinforcing rib is disposed between the first mounting plate and the base plate, and is perpendicular to both the first mounting plate and the base plate, so as to support the first mounting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the first mounting plate is a rectangular flat plate structure, and a reinforcing rib is provided on each of the two sides of the first mounting plate that are perpendicular to the substrate.

[0016] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib extends vertically outward from the first mounting surface to the end of the first mounting plate away from the substrate.

[0017] Furthermore, the connector includes two parallel first mounting plates and two parallel second mounting plates; wherein

[0018] Two first mounting plates and a base plate together form a first opening groove, which is used to accommodate a first structural member; and

[0019] Two second mounting plates and the base plate together form a second opening groove, which is used to accommodate the second structural component.

[0020] Furthermore, the two first mounting plates are respectively formed with multiple sets of opposing first fixing holes, so as to install the first mounting plates onto the first structural member by inserting fasteners into each set of opposing first fixing holes; and

[0021] The two second mounting plates are formed with multiple sets of opposite second fixing holes, so that the second mounting plates can be installed on the second structural member by inserting fasteners into each set of opposite second fixing holes.

[0022] Furthermore, the plurality of first fixing holes formed on the first mounting plate are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0023] Furthermore, the substrate has a rectangular flat plate structure, with two first mounting plates and two second mounting plates alternately arranged on each side of the substrate.

[0024] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a sunroom, comprising:

[0025] First structural component;

[0026] Second structural component; and

[0027] The connecting member, according to any of the foregoing, is used to connect the first structural member and the second structural member.

[0028] Furthermore, the first structural component is the main beam, the second structural component is the column, and the connecting component is located at the top of the column.

[0029] The connector of this utility model includes a base plate and a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, which are perpendicular to the base plate and extend in opposite directions. The first mounting plate may have at least one first fixing hole to facilitate mounting the first mounting plate onto a first structural member by inserting a fastener. The second mounting plate may have at least one second fixing hole to facilitate mounting the second mounting plate onto a second structural member by inserting a fastener, thereby connecting the first structural member to the second structural member. Furthermore, the second mounting plate is perpendicular to the first mounting plate to connect the first and second structural members in a perpendicular orientation, facilitating subsequent installation processes. The connector of this utility model utilizes a simple structure such as a base plate, a first mounting plate, and a second mounting plate to achieve the connection between the first and second structural members, greatly simplifying the connector structure and effectively controlling production and subsequent installation costs. In addition, the connector of this utility model allows the first mounting plate to be mounted on the first structural member and the second mounting plate to be mounted on the second structural member by inserting fasteners, achieving the connection between the first and second structural members based on a simple connector structure, improving the convenience of connecting the first and second structural members.

[0030] Furthermore, the connector of this utility model provides at least one reinforcing rib between the first mounting plate and the base plate, and the reinforcing rib is arranged perpendicular to both the first mounting plate and the base plate to support the first mounting plate, thereby effectively improving the support strength of the base plate to the first mounting plate and thus improving the structural strength of the connector.

[0031] Furthermore, the connector of this utility model, by setting two parallel first mounting plates and two parallel second mounting plates, forms a first opening groove for accommodating the first structural member by the two first mounting plates and the base plate, and forms a second opening groove for accommodating the second structural member by the two second mounting plates and the base plate. This achieves simultaneous application of fastening force to the first structural member from both sides, and simultaneously application of fastening force to the second structural member from both sides, thereby improving the connection stability between the first mounting plate and the first structural member, as well as between the second mounting plate and the second structural member, thus ensuring a stable connection between the first mounting plate and the second structural member, and thus improving the structural stability of the connector.

[0046] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0047] To solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a connector and a sunroom having the same. The following describes the details... Figures 1 to 4 This describes the sunroom of this utility model. Among them... Figures 2 to 4 A schematic diagram of the connectors, some columns, some main beams, and some water channel beams is shown.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the sunroom 1 may include a first structural member 20, a second structural member 30, and a connector 10. The connector 10 is used to connect the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30. In this embodiment, the first structural member 20 may be a main beam, and the second structural member 30 may be a column. The connector 10 may be disposed at the top of the column and support the bottom of the main beam. In addition, the sunroom 1 also includes a photovoltaic module 60 to generate electricity using the photovoltaic effect to supply power to the user.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sunroom 1 in this embodiment can be a prefabricated sunroom, which may include multiple columns arranged at intervals. The top of each column is connected to the main beam through a connector 10 to support the main beam, realizing a convenient connection between the main beam and the column, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0050] Therefore, the sunroom 1 of this utility model utilizes connectors 10 that can be detachably connected to the main beam and the columns respectively to realize the installation between the main beam and the columns, reducing the number of installation operations that need to be carried out by welding during the construction of the sunroom 1. When installing the main beam and the columns, there is no need to wait for the welder's work schedule, thus speeding up the overall construction progress.

[0051] Meanwhile, the main beam and columns are connected by mechanical installation, which simplifies the installation process, increases construction efficiency, and enhances construction safety. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the main beam and columns improves the structural stability of the sunroom 1 and avoids safety hazards caused by incomplete welding or other welding issues, thus enhancing the safety of the sunroom 1 in use.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to further improve assembly efficiency, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sunroom 1 can also have a column base 70. Specifically, the column base 70 is located at the bottom of the column, and the column base 70 is detachably connected to the column. The bottom of each column is mounted on the external bearing surface 2 via the column base 70. It should be noted that the external bearing surface 2 can be the ground, roof, or other mounting surface, or it can be the upper surface of a rigid mounting structure pre-laid on the ground, roof, or other mounting surface. This embodiment does not specifically limit the application.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the main beam and the column are square prism structures. The column is vertically mounted on the column base 70, and the main beam is horizontally mounted on top of the column. To improve the working efficiency of the photovoltaic module 60, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic module 60 can be installed at an angle. Therefore, in order to support the photovoltaic module 60, the top and bottom surfaces of the main beam can both form a preset angle with the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the top surface of the column can also be an inclined surface forming a preset angle with the horizontal direction, so as to tilt and support the main beam above the column.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sunroom 1 may also include a water trough beam 40. The water trough beam 40 can be a square prism structure and is horizontally positioned at the top of the columns. The water trough beam 40 supports the main water trough located below the outer edge of the photovoltaic module 60. Figure 1 As shown, the water channel beam 40 is supported by multiple columns. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of each column used to support the water channel beam 40 is recessed downward to form a U-shaped groove extending in the horizontal direction.

[0055] When assembling the sunroom 1, the water channel beam 40 is placed in the U-shaped channel with its extension direction parallel to the extension direction of the U-shaped channel, so as to support the water channel beam 40 to the top of the column. After supporting the water channel beam 40 to the top of the column, the connector 10 is installed to the top of the column by inserting the fastener 50, and the main beam and the connector 10 are connected and fixed by inserting the fastener 50, thus completing the installation of the main beam, the column and the water channel.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, fastener 50 may include bolt 51 and nut 52. In one specific embodiment, fastener 50 may be an M12×80 bolt combination. In another specific embodiment, fastener 50 may also be an M12×120 bolt combination. When assembling the sunroom 1, bolt 51 is inserted into the first fixing hole 210 on the connector 10 and the mounting hole on the main beam, and the nut 52 is used to lock and fix it to the tail of bolt 51, so as to install connector 10 to the bottom of the main beam. In addition, fastener 50 is inserted into the second fixing hole 310 on the connector 10 and the mounting hole on the column, and the nut 52 is used to lock and fix it to the tail of bolt 51, so as to install connector 10 to the top of the column, thereby installing the main beam to the top of the column. At this point, the installation of the main beam, column and water beam channel is completed. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, fastener 50 may also be other connection structures.

[0057] The following is combined with Figures 5 to 12 The structure of the connector 10 of this utility model will be described.

[0058] like Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the column base 70 of this utility model may include a base plate 100, at least one first mounting plate 200 and at least one second mounting plate 300.

[0059] like Figure 6 or Figure 10 As shown, the substrate 100 has a first mounting surface 110 and a second mounting surface 120 facing opposite directions. A first mounting plate 200 extends vertically outward from the first mounting surface 110. A second mounting plate 300 extends vertically outward from the second mounting surface 120. That is, both the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 300 are perpendicular to the substrate 100 and extend in opposite directions.

[0060] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, at least one first fixing hole 210 may be formed on the first mounting plate 200 to facilitate mounting the first mounting plate 200 onto the first structural member 20 by inserting a fastener 50. Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, at least one second fixing hole 310 may be formed on the second mounting plate 300 so as to install the second mounting plate 300 on the second structural member 30 by inserting fastener 50, thereby realizing the connection of the first structural member 20 to the second structural member 30.

[0061] In addition, such as Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the second mounting plate 300 is set perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 so as to connect the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30 in a perpendicular orientation, which facilitates the subsequent installation process.

[0062] Therefore, the connector 10 of this utility model can achieve the connection between the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30 using a simple structure such as the base plate 100, the first mounting plate 200, and the second mounting plate 300, which greatly simplifies the structure of the connector 10 and effectively controls the production cost and subsequent installation cost of the connector 10. In addition, the connector 10 of this utility model can install the first mounting plate 200 on the first structural member 20 and the second mounting plate 300 on the second structural member 30 by inserting fasteners 50, thus realizing the connection between the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30 based on the simple structure of the connector 10, and improving the convenience of connecting the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30.

[0063] It should be noted that, in some optional embodiments, a first fixing hole 210 penetrating through the first mounting plate 200 may be pre-drilled on the first mounting plate 200, and a second fixing hole 310 penetrating through the second mounting plate 300 may be pre-drilled on the second mounting plate 300 for fasteners 50 to be inserted. Of course, in other optional embodiments, both the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 300 may be flat, with the first fixing hole 210 automatically formed by a self-tapping screw driven in a direction perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 after passing through the first mounting plate 200, and the second fixing hole 310 automatically formed by a self-tapping screw driven in a direction perpendicular to the second mounting plate 300 after passing through the second mounting plate 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 12As shown, the connector 10 may include two parallel first mounting plates 200 and two parallel second mounting plates 300. The two first mounting plates 200 and the base plate 100 together form a first opening groove 220, which is used to accommodate the first structural member 20. The two second mounting plates 300 and the base plate 100 together form a second opening groove 320, which is used to accommodate the second structural member 30. Since the second mounting plates 300 and the first mounting plates 200 are perpendicular to each other and extend in opposite directions, and the extension direction of the first opening groove 220 is opposite to the opening direction of the second opening groove 320 and perpendicular to its extension direction, it is convenient to place the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30 together vertically with their extension directions perpendicular, which facilitates the subsequent installation process and ensures the structural stability of the sunroom 1.

[0065] The connector 10 of this utility model, by setting two parallel first mounting plates 200 and two parallel second mounting plates 300, achieves simultaneous application of fastening forces to both sides of the first structural member 20 and the second structural member 30, thereby improving the connection stability between the first mounting plates 200 and the first structural member 20, and between the second mounting plates 300 and the second structural member 30. Furthermore, the two first mounting plates 200 and the base plate 100 together form a first opening groove 220 for accommodating the first structural member 20, and the two second mounting plates 300 and the base plate 100 together form a second opening groove 320 for accommodating the second structural member 30. This improves the ease of assembling the connector 10, the first structural member 20, and the second structural member 30 together, as well as the structural stability, thereby further ensuring a stable connection between the first mounting plates 200 and the second structural member 30, and thus improving the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0066] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the width B of the first opening slot 220 is at least not less than the width of the first structural member 20. In one specific embodiment, the width B of the first opening slot 220 is the same as the width of the first structural member 20. For example, the width of the first structural member 20 and the width B of the first mounting plate 200 can both be 50 mm.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the width D of the second opening groove 320 is at least not less than the width of the second structural member 30. In one specific embodiment, the width D of the second opening groove 320 is the same as the width of the second structural member 30. For example, the width of the second structural member 30 and the width D of the second opening groove 320 can both be 100 mm.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, multiple sets of first fixing holes 210 are formed on the two first mounting plates 200, which are arranged opposite each other, so as to install the first mounting plates 200 on the first structural member 20 by inserting fasteners 50 into each set of opposite first fixing holes 210. That is, each first mounting plate 200 may have multiple first fixing holes 210, and the multiple first fixing holes 210 on the two first mounting plates 200 on a connector 10 are arranged opposite each other.

[0069] Therefore, the connector 10 of this utility model, by providing multiple sets of opposing first fixing holes 210 on the two first mounting plates 200, restricts the separation of the first mounting plate 200 from the first structural member 20 at different positions of the first mounting plate 200, and ensures a stable connection between the first mounting plate 200 and the first structural member 20.

[0070] In addition, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, multiple sets of opposing second fixing holes 310 are formed on the two second mounting plates 300 to facilitate the mounting of the second mounting plates 300 onto the second structural member 30 by inserting fasteners 50 into each set of opposing second fixing holes 310. That is, each second mounting plate 300 may have multiple second fixing holes 310, and the multiple second fixing holes 310 on the two second mounting plates 300 on a connector 10 are opposing each other.

[0071] Therefore, by providing multiple sets of opposing second fixing holes 310 on the two second mounting plates 300, the connector 10 of this utility model restricts the separation of the second mounting plate 300 from the first structural member 20 at different positions of the second mounting plate 300, thus ensuring a stable connection between the second mounting plate 300 and the second structural member 30.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, during the assembly of the sunroom 1, after the connector 10 is fastened to the top of the column with the second opening slot 320 facing the top of the column, multiple fasteners 50 sequentially pass through the second fixing holes 310 on one second mounting plate 300, the column, and another second mounting plate 300, thus installing the connector 10 onto the column. Furthermore, after the main beam is placed in the first opening slot 220, multiple fasteners 50 sequentially pass through the first fixing holes 210 on one first mounting plate 200, the main beam, and another first mounting plate 200, thus installing the main beam onto the connector 10, thereby installing the main beam onto the column.

[0073] Therefore, during the assembly of the sunroom 1, only one fastener 50 is needed for installation and fixing in each set of the first fixing hole 210 or the second fixing hole 310, which effectively improves construction efficiency. Furthermore, the fastener 50 is set through the main beam or column, which improves the support effect on the main beam or column and further ensures the structural stability of the sunroom 1.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a plurality of first fixing holes 210 formed on the first mounting plate 200 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 100. That is, after the main beam is installed to the column, the fasteners 50 in the plurality of first fixing holes 210 provide multiple fastening forces at different heights in the vertical direction, thereby further improving the support effect on the main beam and improving the structural stability of the sunroom 1.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the substrate 100 has a rectangular flat plate structure, with two first mounting plates 200 and two second mounting plates 300 alternately arranged on each side of the substrate 100. This greatly simplifies the structure of the substrate 100 and improves the neatness of the connector 10's appearance.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the first mounting plate 200 can be a rectangular flat plate structure. Specifically, as... Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the ratio of the width V of the first mounting plate 200 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the second mounting plate 300 is selected from any value between 0.75 and 0.95. In one specific embodiment, the ratio of the width V of the first mounting plate 200 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the second mounting plate 300 is selected from any value between 0.85 and 0.95. For example, the ratio of the width V of the first mounting plate 200 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the second mounting plate 300 is 0.85.

[0077] Therefore, the width V of the first mounting plate 200 can be maximized, increasing the contact area between the first mounting plate 200 and the first structural member 20, greatly increasing the fastening force of the first mounting plate 200 on the first structural member 20, thereby improving the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0078] In addition, such as Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the thickness T of the first mounting plate 200 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 16 mm. In one specific embodiment, the thickness T of the first mounting plate 200 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm. For example, the thickness T of the first mounting plate 200 can be 3 mm.

[0079] Therefore, the thickness T of the first mounting plate 200 is appropriate, so that the first mounting plate 200 is not too thick to control the production cost of the connector, and can also provide stable support for the first structural component 20.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the second mounting plate 300 can be a rectangular flat plate structure. Specifically, as... Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the ratio of the width W of the second mounting plate 300 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 is selected from any value between 0.9 and 1. In one specific embodiment, the ratio of the width W of the second mounting plate 300 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 is selected from any value between 0.95 and 1. For example, the ratio of the width W of the second mounting plate 300 to the dimension of the substrate 100 in the direction perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 is 1.

[0081] Therefore, the width W of the second mounting plate 300 can be maximized, increasing the contact area between the second mounting plate 300 and the second structural member 30, greatly increasing the fastening force of the second mounting plate 300 on the second structural member 30, thereby improving the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0082] In addition, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the thickness G of the second mounting plate 300 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 16 mm. In one specific embodiment, the thickness G of the second mounting plate 300 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm. For example, the thickness G of the second mounting plate 300 can be 3 mm.

[0083] Therefore, the thickness G of the second mounting plate 300 is appropriate, so that the second mounting plate 300 is not too thick to control the production cost of the connector, and can also provide stable support for the second structural component 30.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the connector 10 may further include at least one reinforcing rib 400. The reinforcing rib 400 is disposed between the first mounting plate 200 and the base plate 100, and is perpendicular to both the first mounting plate 200 and the base plate 100, to support the first mounting plate 200. Specifically, the reinforcing rib 400 is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 200 opposite to the first opening groove 220.

[0085] Therefore, the connector 10 of this utility model effectively improves the support strength of the substrate 100 to the first mounting plate 200 by means of the reinforcing ribs 400 that are perpendicular to both the first mounting plate 200 and the substrate 100, thereby improving the structural strength of the connector 10.

[0086] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 400 may be evenly spaced on the side of the first mounting plate 200 opposite to the first opening groove 220. Thus, the plurality of reinforcing ribs 400 provide uniform support to the first mounting plate 200, ensuring that the first mounting plate 200 is stably mounted on the first mounting surface 110 of the substrate 100 in an upward orientation, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the connector 10 and improving the stability of the sunroom 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the first mounting plate 200 can be a rectangular flat plate structure. Since the first mounting plate 200 is perpendicular to the substrate 100, it has two sides perpendicular to the substrate 100. Based on this, a reinforcing rib 400 is provided on each of the two sides perpendicular to the substrate 100. That is, the reinforcing rib 400 extends vertically outward from the first mounting surface 110 along one of the sides of the first mounting plate 200 perpendicular to the substrate 100.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the reinforcing rib 400 can be a rectangular flat plate structure. Thus, the base plate 100, the first mounting plate 200, and the reinforcing rib 400 are all rectangular flat plate structures and are arranged perpendicularly to each other, forming a stable support structure, thereby further improving the structural strength of the connector 10.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, the thickness L of the reinforcing rib 400 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 16 mm. In one specific embodiment, the thickness L of the reinforcing rib 400 is selected from any value between 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm. For example, the thickness L of the reinforcing rib 400 can be 3 mm.

[0090] Therefore, the thickness L of the reinforcing rib 400 is appropriate, so that the reinforcing rib 400 is not too thick to control the production cost of the connector, and can also provide stable support for the second structural component 30.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the reinforcing rib 400 extends vertically outward from the first mounting surface 110 to the end of the first mounting plate 200 away from the substrate 100. In other words, the dimension of the reinforcing rib 400 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 100 is the same as the dimension of the first mounting plate 200 in the same direction. This effectively increases the height ratio of the reinforcing rib 400 on the entire connector 10, increases the contact area between the reinforcing rib 400 and the first mounting plate 200, and greatly increases the supporting force of the reinforcing rib 400 on the first mounting plate 200, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the connector 10 and effectively ensuring the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the end of the reinforcing rib 400 away from the first mounting plate 200 is flush with the outer edge of the substrate 100. Therefore, the dimension N of the reinforcing rib 400 in the direction perpendicular to the first mounting plate 200 can be maximized, increasing the contact area between the reinforcing rib 400 and the substrate 100, greatly increasing the supporting force of the substrate 100 on the reinforcing rib 400, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the connector 10 and effectively ensuring the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the reinforcing rib 400 extends in a tapering manner toward the end of the first mounting plate 200 away from the substrate 100. That is, the reinforcing rib 400 has a chamfered surface at one apex away from the substrate 100 and the first mounting plate 200.

[0094] Thus, the end of the reinforcing rib 400 away from the substrate 100 and the end of the first mounting plate 200 away from the substrate 100 have a smooth transition, reducing stress concentration points and better dispersing the force loaded on the reinforcing rib 400. This improves the overall structural strength and durability of the connector 10, avoids cracks or fractures caused by stress concentration, and further ensures the structural stability of the connector 10.

[0095] In some embodiments, the substrate 100, the first mounting plate 200, the second mounting plate 300, and the reinforcing rib 400 may all be components made of metal. Furthermore, the substrate 100, the first mounting plate 200, the second mounting plate 300, and the reinforcing rib 400 may all be connected by welding to form an integral connector 10, thereby further improving the structural stability of the connector 10.
