Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connectivity technology, specifically to a connectivity component and container. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional toolboxes consist of individual, isolated compartments that can only be stacked. However, for many households and professional users who need to buy multiple boxes, stacking several layers together makes them prone to tipping over if accidentally bumped. Toolboxes, boxes, and accessory boxes are necessities in the workplace, and the presence of various sizes of boxes creates a messy and inconvenient environment to carry, leading to loss, damage, and difficulty in organization, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a connecting component and container that are easy to disassemble and install, simple to operate, and save time and effort.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A connection component for connecting a first module and a second module, comprising:

[0006] A first locking structure is disposed on adjacent first and second modules. When the first locking structure is in a locked state, it causes the first module and the second module to interfere in opposite directions.

[0007] A second locking structure is disposed on adjacent first and second modules. The second locking structure includes a movable locking member and a mating part that can cooperate with the locking member. The mating part is disposed on the first locking structure. When the first locking structure is locked, the second locking structure is allowed to lock simultaneously. The locking member and the mating part interfere with each other in the misalignment direction of the first and second modules.

[0008] Optionally, the first locking structure includes at least one blocking part disposed on the first module and at least one holding part disposed on the second module. When the blocking part engages with the holding part, the first module and the second module are slidably connected.

[0009] Optionally, the first locking structure includes:

[0010] The first slide rail structure includes a first blocking part disposed on the first module and a first holding part disposed on the second module that can engage with the first blocking part.

[0011] The second slide rail structure includes a second blocking part disposed on the first module and a second holding part disposed on the second module that can engage with the second blocking part.

[0012] Optionally, the blocking part is provided with a locking groove to form the mating part, and the locking member is provided on the second module. When the locking member and the locking groove interfere with each other in the sliding direction of the first module and the second module, the first module and the second module lock each other.

[0013] Optionally, the second locking structure includes:

[0014] An elastic element is located between the locking element and the second module, and can drive the locking element to move to interfere with the mating part, so that the first locking structure is automatically kept in the locked state.

[0015] Optionally, a slope is provided on the side of the blocking part of the locking member facing the unlocking direction;

[0016] When the first latch structure moves in the locking direction, the locking member can move in the unlocking direction of the second latch structure under the action of the inclined surface, so as to extend into the locking groove under the drive of the elastic member.

[0017] Optionally, the locking element is configured as a flip-up latch, the locking element including an operating element that can be flipped relative to the second module and a locking tongue that is throttledly connected to the operating element, and the holding part being throttledly connected to the operating element.

[0018] Optionally, the blocking part is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged along the operating direction of the first locking structure. The plurality of ratchet teeth allow the holding part to move along the locking direction of the first locking structure and prevent the holding part from moving along the unlocking direction of the first locking structure; the locking groove is located between two adjacent ratchet teeth.

[0019] Optionally, the holding part is provided with a clearance groove; the locking member is a sliding buckle, the locking member includes an operating member that can slide relative to the second module and a locking tongue that is pulsatorically connected to the operating member, the operating member can drive the locking tongue to switch between the clearance groove and the locking groove.

[0020] A container, wherein one of the containers is connected to another container via a connection component as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0021] The connecting component and container provided in this application allow the second locking structure to lock simultaneously when the first locking structure is locked, so that both the first and second locking structures are kept in a locked state, thereby locking the first and second modules. Correspondingly, when the first locking structure is not locked, the locking element and mating part in the second locking structure cannot cooperate, preventing the second locking structure from locking. In use, the first locking structure is locked first, followed by the second locking structure. The locking of the second locking structure keeps the first locking structure in a locked state, ensuring safety, stability, and a superior locking effect. The combination of the first and second locking structures restricts the movement of the first and second modules along misalignment and separation directions, thereby locking the first and second modules and facilitating the organization and storage of each module, improving the user experience. In use, unlocking the second locking structure releases the lock on the first locking structure, and then unlocking the first locking structure again allows the first and second modules to be separated, facilitating disassembly and installation of the first and second modules. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0039] 100. Module 1; 200. Module 2. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] like Figures 1-14As shown, this application embodiment provides a connecting component for connecting a first module 100 and a second module 200, which includes a first locking structure 1 and a second locking structure 2. The first module 100 and the second module 200 are adjacent, for example, the first module 100 and the second module 200 are stacked vertically, or the first module 100 and the second module 200 are abutted horizontally. This connecting component can be applied to containers, such as toolboxes, tool holders, storage boxes, storage baskets, drawer boxes, wheeled boxes, tool bags, etc. It can also be applied to rigid platforms, such as flatbed carts, external mounting plates, adapter plates, workbenches, drawing boards, etc. The connecting component is mainly used for interlocking between two modules; the first module 100 can be a container, and the second module 200 can also be a container, and the connecting component interlocks the containers; the first module 100 / second module 200 can be a container, and the second module 200 / first module 100 can be a rigid platform, and the connecting component interlocks the container and the rigid platform; the first module 100 can be a rigid platform, and the second module 200 can also be a rigid platform, and the connecting component interlocks the rigid platforms.

[0042] This solution is illustrated using the example of the first module 100 and the second module 200 stacked vertically.

[0043] The first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 are disposed on adjacent first modules 100 and second modules 200, for example, on the contact surfaces of the first modules 100 and second modules 200, or on the sides of the first modules 100 and second modules 200 close to each other. The first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 have a locked state and an unlocked state, and can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state through their own actions.

[0044] When the first locking structure 1 is in the locked state, it causes the first module 100 and the second module 200 to interfere in a disjoint direction, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the disjoint direction. The second locking structure 2 includes a locking member 20 and a mating part. The locking member 20 is movably disposed on the first module 100 or the second module 200, and its movement can be configured as a sliding movement or a flipping movement. The mating part is disposed on the first locking structure 1, and the locking member 20 and the mating part are mated together. By changing the position of the locking member 20 relative to the mating part, the second locking structure 2 switches between an unlocked state and a locked state. When the second locking structure 2 is in the locked state, the locking member 20 and the mating part interfere in a misaligned direction between the first module 100 and the second module 200, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the misaligned direction, while keeping the first locking structure 1 in the locked state. When the second locking structure 2 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 20 does not interfere with the mating part, and the first module 100 and the second module 200 can move in the misaligned direction.

[0045] When the first locking structure 1 is locked, the second locking structure 2 can be locked simultaneously, so that both the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 are kept in the locked state, thereby locking the first module 100 and the second module 200. Correspondingly, when the first locking structure 1 is not locked, the locking element 20 and the mating part in the second locking structure 2 cannot cooperate with each other, preventing the second locking structure 2 from locking. In use, the first locking structure 1 is locked first, and then the second locking structure 2 is locked. The locking of the second locking structure 2 keeps the first locking structure 1 in the locked state, ensuring safety, stability, and a better locking effect.

[0046] In this way, by combining the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2, the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 along the misalignment direction and the separation direction can be restricted, thereby locking the first module 100 and the second module 200. This facilitates the organization and storage of each module and improves the user experience. During use, unlocking the second locking structure 2 releases the lock on the first locking structure 1, and then unlocking the first locking structure 1 again allows the first module 100 and the second module 200 to be separated. This facilitates the disassembly and installation of the first module 100 and the second module 200, making the operation simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the misalignment direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200 is parallel to the contact surface of the first module 100 and the second module 200, and can be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. The separation direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200 is perpendicular to the contact surface of the first module 100 and the second module 200, and can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. Taking the second module 200 as a reference, the second module 200 is stacked on top of the first module 100. At this time, the first module 100 moves relative to the second module 200 in the misalignment direction, that is, the first module 100 moves in the horizontal direction (front-back, left-right); at this time, the first module 100 moves relative to the second module 200 in the separation direction, that is, the first module 100 moves in the vertical direction (upward). Since the first module 100 and the second module 200 are in contact, restricting their movement in the misalignment direction and the separation direction can lock the first module 100 and the second module 200. In other embodiments, the misalignment direction and the separation direction can also be other directions. The misalignment direction and the separation direction are two complementary directions, which are mainly used to lock the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the up, down, left, right, front and back directions through the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2 when the first module 100 and the second module 200 abut each other, thereby realizing the locking between the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first locking structure 1 includes at least one blocking part and at least one holding part. In the embodiments of this application, the number of blocking parts and holding parts is the same, with two, three or more, and the blocking parts and holding parts correspond one-to-one. The blocking part is disposed on the first module 100, and the holding part is disposed on the second module 200. When the blocking part and the holding part engage with each other, that is, the blocking part engages between the holding part and the second module 200, and the holding part engages between the blocking part and the first module 100, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in a direction away from each other. At this time, the first module 100 and the second module 200 are slidably connected, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to or forms an angle with the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0049] The system includes multiple blocking parts arranged along the extension direction of the first locking structure 1, and multiple holding parts also arranged along the extension direction of the first locking structure 1. For example, there are two blocking parts and two holding parts. This combination of multiple blocking and holding parts ensures a more stable and reliable connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200 along the extension direction of the first locking structure 1. Here, the distance between two adjacent blocking parts is greater than the length of the holding part, and the length of two adjacent holding parts is greater than the length of the blocking part. When the first module 100 and the second module 200 are docked, it is not necessary for them to be completely misaligned. Only the holding and blocking parts need to be misaligned to allow the holding part to extend between the blocking part and the first module 100, and the blocking part to extend between the holding part and the second module 200. This operation is convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the first locking structure 1 is configured as a slide rail structure, and includes two such structures: a first slide rail structure and a second slide rail structure. The first slide rail structure includes a first blocking part 11 and a first holding part 13. The first blocking part 11 is disposed on the first module 100, and the first holding part 13 is disposed on the second module 200. The first blocking part 11 and the first holding part 13 can engage with each other, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in a direction away from each other. The second slide rail structure includes a second blocking part 12 and a second holding part 14. The second blocking part 12 is disposed on the first module 100, and the second holding part 14 is disposed on the second module 200. The second blocking part 12 and the second holding part 14 can engage with each other, thereby restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in a direction away from each other. Here, the first and second slide rail structures are arranged alternately and in parallel. That is, the relative sliding direction of the first holding part 13 and the first blocking part 11 is parallel to the relative sliding direction of the second blocking part 12 and the second holding part 14, and they are not on the same straight line. In this way, the design of the first and second slide rail structures can ensure that the sliding connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200 is stable and reliable, thereby improving the stability of disassembly and installation.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, the first blocking part 11 and the second blocking part 12 both protrude from the first module 100 and extend in opposite directions, and the first holding part 13 and the second holding part 14 both protrude from the second module 200 and extend in opposite directions. For example, the extending directions of the first blocking part 11 and the second blocking part 12 are opposite, while the extending directions of the first holding part 13 and the second holding part 14 are facing each other. When the first blocking part 11 and the first holding part 13 are engaged, and the second blocking part 12 and the second holding part 14 are engaged, the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure interlock, restricting the movement of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in the arrangement direction of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure, thereby allowing the first module 100 and the second module 200 to slide only along the extending directions of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure. In another embodiment of this application, the first blocking part 11 and the second blocking part 12 both protrude from the first module 100 and extend in opposite directions, and the first holding part 13 and the second holding part 14 both protrude from the second module 200 and extend in opposite directions.

[0052] like Figure 2-3 As shown in Figures 9-10, in one embodiment of this application, at least one of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure is disposed on one side of the first module 100 and the second module 200. When the first module 100 and the second module 200 are docked, it is necessary to keep one side of the first module 100 and one side of the second module 200 aligned. At this time, one of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure is disposed on the aligned side. In this way, disposing of the first slide rail structure or the second slide rail structure on the side can avoid affecting the internal space of the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0053] Specifically, the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first module 100 or the second module 200. Here, taking the arrangement direction of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure as the reference direction, the dimension of the first module 100 and the second module 200 in this reference direction is defined as the width of the first module 100 and the second module 200, that is, defined as the length direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200, with the extension direction of the first slide rail structure and the second slide rail structure being the length direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. When the width of the first module 100 is greater than the width of the second module 200, the first and second slide rail structures are respectively located on both sides of the second module 200. Correspondingly, one of the first and second slide rail structures is located on one side of the first module 100, and the other is located in the middle of the first module 100. When the width of the first module 100 is less than the width of the second module 200, the first and second slide rail structures are respectively located on both sides of the first module 100. Correspondingly, one of the first and second slide rail structures is located on one side of the second module 200, and the other is located in the middle of the second module 200. When the width of the first module 100 and the width of the second module 200 are the same, the first and second slide rail structures are located on both sides of the first module 100 and on both sides of the second module 200. In this way, the connection of modules with different widths can be achieved.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second locking structure 2 includes a locking member 20 and a locking groove 21. The locking groove 21 is disposed on one of the blocking portions (e.g., the second blocking portion 12) of the first locking structure 1, and the mating portion is disposed on the side wall of the locking groove 21. When the locking member 20 moves relative to the locking groove 21 in the unlocking direction, the locking member 20 abuts against the side wall of the locking groove 21 to form interference between the locking member 20 and the mating portion. The locking member 20 is disposed on the second module 200. For example, when the first module 100 and the second module 200 are docked, the locking member 20 and the locking groove 21 are both located on the sides of the first module 100 and the second module 200 to facilitate locking and unlocking. Moreover, the locking member 20 can move relative to the second module 200 (this movement can be configured as sliding, i.e., the locking member 20 is slidably connected to the second module 200; or this movement can be configured as flipping, i.e., the locking member 20 is flipped and connected to the second module 200) so that the locking member 20 can extend into and out of the locking groove 21. When the second locking structure 2 is in the locked state, the locking member 20 extends into the locking groove 21. When the second locking structure 2 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 20 extends out of the locking groove 21. By the locking member 20 extending into and out of the locking groove 21, the second locking structure 2 can switch between the unlocked state and the locked state, and at the same time, the locking state of the first locking structure 1 can be maintained and unmaintained.

[0055] Furthermore, the second locking structure 2 also includes a first elastic element 24, which is connected between the locking element 20 and the second module 200. The first elastic element 24 can drive the locking element 20 to move relative to the second module 200, causing the locking element 20 to interfere with the locking groove 21 (i.e., the locking element 20 extends into the locking groove 21), thereby automatically keeping the second locking structure 2 in the locked state. When the first module 100 is connected to the second module 200 and the second locking structure 2 is in the locked state, the locking element 20 and the locking groove 21 are positioned opposite each other, and under the action of the first elastic element 24, the locking element 20 is automatically held within the locking groove 21.

[0056] At the same time, such as Figure 13 As shown, since the mating part is set as the side wall of the locking groove 21, the locking member 20 must be set in a corresponding position. In this embodiment, the locking groove 21 is set on the second blocking part 12, and the locking member 20 is set near the second holding part 14, so that when the second blocking part 12 and the second holding part 14 are slidably connected, the locking member 20 is simultaneously locked. Specifically, the locking member 20 has an operating member 22 and a locking tongue 23. When the second blocking part 12 and the second holding part 14 are slidably locked, the second blocking part 12 in the first latch structure 1 is provided with a slope 15 facing the unlocking direction of the first latch structure 1, so that when the locking tongue 23 abuts against the second blocking part 12, the locking tongue 23 is pressed, and the locking tongue 23 retracts under the action of the first elastic member 24. The second holding part 14 can continue to slide along the second blocking part 12 until the locking tongue 23 falls into the locking groove 21 and stops sliding. Furthermore, slopes can be provided on both sides of the second blocking part 12, so that the first latch structure 1 can be inserted and locked in either direction.

[0057] The following describes in detail various embodiments of this solution in conjunction with the above embodiments.

[0058] like Figure 1-7As shown, in the first embodiment, the second module 200 is stacked on top of the first module 100. The second locking structure 2 is a flip-lock. The locking member 20 includes an operating member 22 and a locking tongue 23. The operating member 22 is connected to the second module 200 and can flip relative to the second module 200. Specifically, the side of the second module 200 is provided with a flip groove 25. The middle part of the operating member 22 is connected to the flip groove 25 through a flip shaft 26, so that the operating member 22 can flip within the flip groove 25. Here, the extension direction of the flip shaft 26 is the arrangement direction of the first module 100 and the second module 200. The locking tongue 23 is disposed on the operating member 22. A first elastic member 24 is connected between the operating member 22 and the second module 200. The first elastic member 24 can be configured as a spring. Under the action of the first elastic member 24, the operating member 22 can drive the locking tongue 23 to automatically flip along the locking direction. Specifically, the first elastic member 24 is disposed at the first end of the operating member 22, and the locking tongue 23 is disposed at the second end of the operating member 22.

[0059] The locking groove 21 is disposed on one of the blocking parts (specifically the second blocking part 12) of the first latch structure 1. Under the action of the first elastic member 24, the operating member 22 drives the latch 23 to flip forward into the locking groove 21, and the second latch structure 2 is in a locked state to prevent the first latch structure 1 from moving in the unlocking direction, thereby preventing the first module 100 and the second module 200 from sliding relative to each other. When manual force is applied, the operating member 22 is flipped in the opposite direction, and the latch 23 is extended out of the locking groove 21, and the second latch structure 2 is in an unlocked state to allow the first latch structure 1 to move in the unlocking direction, thereby allowing the first module 100 and the second module 200 to slide relative to each other.

[0060] Furthermore, one of the holding parts in the first locking structure 1 (specifically, the second holding part 14 for cooperating with the second blocking part 12) is provided on the operating member 22, for example, at the second end of the operating member 22. Under the action of the first elastic member 24, the operating member 22 can drive the second holding part 14 to move until it interferes with one of the blocking parts. In this way, by flipping the operating member 22 relative to the second module 200, the locking tongue 23 can be inserted into the locking groove 21, and the second holding part 14 in the first locking structure 1 can interfere with the second blocking part 12, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the first locking structure 1 and the second locking structure 2.

[0061] In further proposals, such as Figure 7As shown, the blocking part is provided with multiple ratchet teeth 17, which are arranged along the operating direction of the first locking structure 1. For example, there may be five, six, or seven ratchet teeth 17. The multiple ratchet teeth 17 allow the second locking part 14 to move along the locking direction of the first locking structure 1 and prevent the second locking part 14 from moving along the unlocking direction of the first locking structure 1. Specifically, the locking groove 21 is located between two adjacent ratchet teeth 17. The multiple ratchet teeth 17 allow the locking tongue 23 to move along the locking direction of the first locking structure 1 and prevent the locking tongue 23 from moving along the unlocking direction of the first locking structure 1. Since both the locking tongue 23 and the second locking part 14 are provided on the operating member 22, limiting the position of the locking tongue 23 can limit the position of the second locking part 14. In this way, during the process of the first locking structure 1 moving from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking tongue 23 sequentially passes over multiple ratchet teeth 17 in the forward direction until it is stuck in the locking groove 21. By restricting the locking tongue 23 from passing over the ratchet teeth 17 in the reverse direction, the first locking structure 1 can be restricted from moving from the locked state to the unlocked state, thereby further improving the structural stability.

[0062] like Figure 8-14 As shown, in the second embodiment, the second module 200 is stacked on top of the first module 100. The second latch structure is a horizontal sliding latch. The locking member 20 includes an operating member 22 and a locking tongue 23. The operating member 22 is connected to the second module 200 and can slide horizontally relative to the second module 200. Specifically, the second module 200 has a sliding cavity near the first module 100. The sliding cavity has openings on its side and bottom. The operating member 22 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity and protrudes from the side opening of the sliding cavity. Multiple guide rails are provided between the sliding cavity and the operating member 22 to guide and limit the sliding direction of the operating member 22. A first elastic member 24 is connected between the operating member 22 and the second module 200. The first elastic member 24 can be a spring. Under the action of the first elastic member 24, the operating member 22 can automatically slide along the locking direction so that the operating member 22 protrudes from the side opening of the sliding cavity. The locking tongue 23 is disposed on the operating member 22 and protrudes from the bottom opening of the sliding cavity into the second module 200.

[0063] A locking groove 21 is provided on the blocking part, and a clearance groove 16 is provided on the holding part. When the first module 100 and the second module 200 are aligned, the locking groove 21 and the clearance groove 16 are aligned. Under the action of the first elastic member 24, the operating member 22 drives the locking tongue 23 to slide horizontally into the locking groove 21, and the second locking structure 2 is in a locked state to prevent the first locking structure 1 from moving, thereby preventing the first module 100 and the second module 200 from sliding relative to each other. When manual force is applied, the operating member 22 is slid horizontally, and the locking tongue 23 is moved from the locking groove 21 into the clearance groove 16. The second locking structure 2 is in an unlocked state to allow the first locking structure 1 to move, thereby allowing the first module 100 and the second module 200 to slide relative to each other.
