[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a connecting component, including a male buckle 10 and a female buckle 20. The male buckle 10 has a first connecting part 11, and the female buckle 20 has a sliding groove 21. The sliding groove 21 includes a sliding area 201 and a fixing area 202, and a second connecting part 22 is provided on the side wall of the fixing area 202.
[0027] The male buckle 10 is shaped to match the slide groove 21 so that it can move in the sliding area 201 toward the fixed area 202, so that the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 form a plug-in engagement.
[0028] Specifically, the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20 can be connected to two parts of the furniture respectively. The male buckle 10 can move in the sliding area 201 toward the fixed area 202. After the male buckle 10 slides from the sliding area 201 to the fixed area 202, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are inserted and engaged, so as to realize the connection between the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20, that is, to realize the connection between the two parts of the furniture.
[0029] In this embodiment, the male buckle 10 moves directly along the sliding area 201 toward the fixed area 202, so that the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are inserted and engaged to form a connection between the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20. The operation is simple and can be carried out without the aid of tools, thus improving the efficiency of installation.
[0030] It is understood that the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 can be arbitrarily formed into a plug-in structure, such as a groove and a boss respectively.
[0031] The male buckle 10 and the sliding area 201 are adapted to each other. The male buckle 10 and the sliding area 201 can be exactly the same in shape and size, or the sliding area 201 can be larger than the male buckle 10. As long as the male buckle 10 can be moved through the sliding area 201 toward the fixed area 202 so that the first connecting part 11 can be inserted into the second connecting part 22.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, the slide groove 21 is elliptical, and its major axis is divided into a sliding region 201 and a fixed region 202. The second connecting part 22 provided on the side wall of the fixed region 202 is a boss, and the first connecting part 11 is a groove. After the male buckle 10 moves along the sliding region 201 toward the fixed region 202, the boss and the groove are inserted into each other to form a connection between the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20.
[0033] It is understandable that the slide groove 21 can also be other shapes, such as rectangles, as long as the male buckle 10 matches the shape of the slide groove 21 and can move from the sliding area 201 to the fixed area 202. Alternatively, the first connecting part 11 can be a boss and the second connecting part 22 can be a groove, as long as the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 can form a plug-in fit after the male buckle 10 moves to the fixed area 202.
[0034] Furthermore, a second connecting part 22 is provided on the side walls of the fixed area 202 on both sides in opposite directions, and the male buckle 10 has a first connecting part 11 on both sides. The first connecting parts 11 on both sides respectively form a plug-in engagement with the second connecting parts 22 on both sides.
[0035] It is understandable that the first connecting part 11 can be located only on one side of the male buckle 10, and the fixing area 202 can also have the second connecting part 22 provided on only one side wall. The connection between the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20 can also be achieved by inserting the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 on one side.
[0036] It should be noted that when the first connecting part 11 is a groove located on both sides of the male buckle 10, the groove passes through the male buckle 10 along the moving direction, so that when the male buckle 10 moves to the fixed area 202, the second connecting part 22, which is a boss structure, can directly enter the first connecting part 11 from the through position to form a sliding insertion.
[0037] Conversely, when the first connecting part 11 is a boss located on both sides of the male buckle 10, the second connecting part 22 is a groove. This groove also needs to penetrate the side wall of the fixed area 202 in the moving direction of the male buckle 10. If the side walls on both sides of the fixed area 202 extend a certain distance in the direction of approaching each other, the groove penetrates the extended part in the moving direction of the male buckle 10, so that when the male buckle 10 moves from the sliding area 201 to the fixed area 202, the first connecting part 11 can directly enter the second connecting part 22 from the penetrating position to form a sliding insertion.
[0038] By providing a first connecting part 11 and a second connecting part 22 on the opposite sides of the male buckle 10 and the opposite sides of the sidewalls of the fixed area 202 respectively, the connection effect after insertion is more stable compared to the method of setting on one side only.
[0039] Furthermore, a first limiting member 111 is provided on the first connecting part 11, and a second limiting member 221 is provided on the second connecting part 22. The first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 221 are engaged to limit the displacement between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 in the moving direction of the male buckle 10.
[0040] It is understood that the first limiting member 111 can be a groove or a boss, and the second limiting member 221 can be a boss or groove adapted to the first limiting member 111. For example, when the first limiting member 111 is a groove, the second limiting member 221 is a boss. When the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are inserted relative to each other and moved to a predetermined position, the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 221 form a locking engagement to limit the relative displacement between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the first connecting part 11 and the first limiting member 111 are both grooves, which are interconnected and form an angle with each other. The second connecting part 22 and the second limiting member 221 are both bosses, and the second limiting member 221 is disposed on the side of the second connecting part 22. During the process of the male buckle 10 moving from the sliding area 201 to the fixed area 202, the first connecting part 11 first forms an insertion engagement with the second connecting part 22 until the male buckle 10 moves to the predetermined position, at which point the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 221 form a locking engagement to restrict the male buckle 10 from continuing to move.
[0042] It should be noted that when the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 221 are not provided, positioning can also be achieved by setting the size of the insertion fit between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22. For example, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are interference fit. When an external force is applied to move the male buckle 10 to the predetermined position, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are limited by friction.
[0043] Furthermore, there are at least two first limiting members 111 and at least two second limiting members 221, with at least two first limiting members 111 and at least two second limiting members 221 respectively engaging and cooperating.
[0044] It is understandable that by using at least two first limiting members 111 and second limiting members 221, the accuracy of positioning can be increased, and the weak engagement between a single first limiting member 111 and a single second limiting member 221 can be avoided, which would cause the male buckle 10 to continue to move after moving to the predetermined position.
[0045] Furthermore, the male buckle 10 includes a connecting post 13 and a connecting seat 14, one end of the connecting post 13 is connected to the connecting seat 14, and the first connecting part 11 is located on the connecting seat 14.
[0046] It can be understood that the connecting post 13 is used to plug into one part of the furniture, and the female buckle 20 is connected to another part of the furniture, so that the connection between the connecting seat 14 and the female buckle 20 can be used to form a connection between the two parts of the furniture.
[0047] Furthermore, the connecting column 13 is provided with anti-slip ribs 131, which are distributed around the connecting column 13 along the axial direction and extend away from the axial direction.
[0048] It is understandable that the anti-slip rib 131 is used to increase the friction between the connecting post 13 and a component of the furniture when the connecting post 13 is inserted into the component.
[0049] Furthermore, the female buckle 20 includes a connecting plate 23 and an embedded part 24, the slide groove 21 is located on the connecting plate 23, and the embedded part 24 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 23.
[0050] It is understood that the embedded part 24 is embedded in a component of the furniture. It can be any structure, as long as it can be embedded in a component of the furniture. The connecting plate 23 faces away from the component so as to form a connection with the connecting seat 14 through the insertion of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22, thereby realizing the connection between the two components of the furniture.
[0051] Furthermore, the male buckle 10 is provided with a first positioning element 12, which is located on the side of the male buckle 10 near the connecting post 13.
[0052] Understandably, the first positioning member 12 is used to engage with a pre-set positioning hole on a component after the connecting post 13 is inserted into a component of the furniture, so as to restrict the male buckle 10 from rotating relative to the component around the connecting post 13.
[0053] Furthermore, the embedded part 24 includes a second positioning part 241, which is used to position the embedded direction of the embedded part 24.
[0054] It is understandable that the embedded part 24 has an asymmetrical structure. Its function is to prevent the female buckle 20 from being installed backwards when it is embedded in a component of the furniture, with the second positioning part 241 as the reference. The embedded part 24 can be of any structure, as long as it can be positioned in the direction during the embedding process.
[0055] In one specific embodiment, the second positioning element 241 is a protruding structure located on one side of the embedded element 24.
[0056] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the connecting post 13 and the embedded part 24 are connected to the two parts of the furniture respectively, that is, the connecting post 13 is inserted into the first part, and the embedded part 24 is embedded in the second part. Next, the connecting seat 14 is passed through the slide groove 21 and moved along the sliding area 201 of the slide groove 21 towards the fixed area 202 until the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are inserted and engaged, and the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 221 are engaged, thus realizing the connection between the two parts of the furniture.
[0057] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a piece of furniture, including a connecting component and two parts to be connected, wherein the two parts to be connected are respectively assembled and connected by the connecting component.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, both components to be connected are sheet metal. The end of the connecting post 13 away from the connecting seat 14 is inserted into the side of one of the sheet metals along its thickness direction to form a connection between the sheet metal and the male buckle 10. The embedded part 24 is embedded in the plane of the other sheet metal, and the connecting plate 23 is flush with the sheet metal after embedding. By moving the connecting seat 14 from the sliding area 201 of the groove 21 to the fixed area 202, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are inserted, thereby realizing the connection between the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20, that is, realizing the connection between the two sheet metals.
[0059] Compared with the prior art, the connecting components and furniture provided by this utility model allow the male buckle to slide directly in the groove along the sliding area toward the fixed area. The male buckle and female buckle are connected by the insertion and cooperation of the first connecting part and the second connecting part. No auxiliary tools are needed, the installation process is simple, thereby improving installation efficiency and reducing installation errors.
[0060] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
