[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item storage products, and more specifically, to a positioning connection structure and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's quality of life improves, the number of items in their homes and offices is increasing, which places higher demands on the effective use of space and the orderly storage of items.

[0003] Traditional shelving or storage devices, such as those using bamboo-joint tubes connected to shelves via sleeves, achieve basic storage functionality. However, when dealing with multi-layered shelves, replacing a shelf in the middle often requires disassembling all the shelves above it one by one, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, we have made an improvement by proposing a positioning connection structure and storage device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a positioning connection structure, including multiple stacked placement components, and several segmented columns are arranged between the multiple placement components. The segmented columns are composed of multiple axially sleeved columns, and several through holes are provided on the columns.

[0005] The outer side of the column is covered with a split locking assembly, which includes two interlocking clips. The inner walls of the two clips are provided with guide protrusions that fit into the through holes.

[0006] The object holder is provided with a sleeve, the inner wall of which forms a progressive pressing surface with the outer walls of the two clamping pieces, so as to generate a locking force through the downward displacement of the sleeve.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the size of the guide boss gradually decreases along its protruding direction.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the splicing ends of the two clamping pieces are respectively provided with an interlocking structure. The interlocking structure includes a card plate and a card slot respectively provided on both sides of the clamping piece, and the card plate and the corresponding card slot are inserted into each other to realize the limiting of the two clamping pieces.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer wall of the clamp and the inner wall of the sleeve both have the same conical surface, and the end with the largest size of the conical surface is located at the end of the column bearing direction.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the column, the split locking assembly and the sleeve are all arranged in a quadrangular shape.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the column, the split locking assembly, and the sleeve are all elliptical in shape.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, magnets are provided on both the card plate and the card slot.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture, and the depth of the anti-slip texture increases axially from the top to the bottom; so as to form frictional resistance with the outer surface of the clamp.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top of the clamp is provided with a guide slope, which is used to guide the sleeve and the clamp when they are inserted.

[0015] A storage device includes a positioning connection structure, wherein the storage component is a shelf, a hanging basket, or a storage box.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In the scheme of this application:

[0018] The positioning connection structure provided by this utility model is convenient because the segmented column is composed of multiple axially sleeved columns. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace the middle placement component, only a small number of placement components need to be disassembled. Moreover, when disassembling, all the components above this placement component can be removed together instead of disassembling them one by one. The inner wall of the sleeve and the outer wall of the two clamps form a progressive pressing surface, so that the locking force is generated by the downward displacement of the sleeve, so that the clamps can hug the column. This not only makes the installation process simple and quick, but also greatly enhances the stability of the connection structure. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-7 A positioning connection structure includes multiple stacked storage components 2, with several segmented columns between the storage components 2. Each segmented column is composed of multiple axially sleeved column bodies 1, and each column body 1 has several through holes 102. Because the segmented column is composed of multiple axially sleeved column bodies 1, when it is necessary to replace the middle storage component 2, only a small number of storage components 2 need to be disassembled. Moreover, during disassembly, all components above this storage component 2 can be removed together, rather than disassembling them one by one, which is convenient to use. Because the axially sleeved design of the segmented column breaks the limitations of the traditional one-piece column, when it is necessary to replace the middle layer storage component 2, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire column or each layer of storage components 2 as in the traditional structure. Only the target storage component 2 and the components above it need to be operated, reducing unnecessary disassembly steps and making maintenance work more efficient.

[0032] The outer side of the column 1 is covered with a split locking assembly, which includes two interlocking clips 3. The inner walls of the two clips 3 are provided with guide bosses 301 that fit into the through hole 102.

[0033] The object 2 is provided with a sleeve 201. The inner wall of the sleeve 201 and the outer wall of the two clamps 3 form a progressive pressing surface. The downward displacement of the sleeve 201 generates a locking force, so that the clamps 3 can hold the column 1. This not only makes the installation process simple and quick, but also greatly enhances the stability of the connection structure.

[0034] Among the multiple columns 1, the bottom of the lowest column 1 is connected to a foot pad or wheel, while the bottom ends of the other columns 1 are all socket ends. The socket ends are used to fit into the inner wall of the column 1 located below, and the through hole 102 is also located on the socket end. For the socket part, when the guide boss 301 is inserted into the through hole 102, the locking between the two columns 1 can be achieved.

[0035] Furthermore, the size of the guide boss 301 gradually decreases along its protruding direction. This design facilitates the insertion of the guide boss 301 into the through hole 102 during use. The reason is that this shape of the guide boss 301 can play a guiding and alignment role, reducing repeated adjustments caused by inaccurate alignment during installation, thereby speeding up the installation process.

[0036] Furthermore, the splicing ends of the two clips 3 are respectively provided with interlocking structures. The interlocking structures include card plates 303 and card slots 302 respectively provided on both sides of the clips 3. The card plates 303 and the corresponding card slots 302 are inserted into each other to limit the two clips 3. This setting can improve the stability of the connection between the two clips 3.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer wall of the clamping piece 3 and the inner wall of the sleeve 201 both have the same conical surface, and the end with the maximum size of the conical surface is located at the end of the column 1 in the bearing direction. The design of the same conical surface allows the sleeve 201 to apply radial pressure evenly to the clamping piece 3 during downward movement, making the fit between each part of the clamping piece 3 and the column 1 tighter, avoiding weak points in the connection caused by uneven local force. At the same time, the position of the end with the maximum size of the conical surface ensures that sufficient locking force can be provided in the bearing direction, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection structure when bearing load.

[0038] Example 2 further optimizes the positioning connection structure and storage device provided in Example 1. Specifically, the column 1, the split locking assembly, and the sleeve 201 are all quadrangular. This arrangement makes it easy to align the through hole 102 when the two columns 1 are inserted. If they are circular, the through hole 102 will be misaligned when the two columns 1 are inserted due to the rotatable nature of the circular shape.

[0039] Example 3 further optimizes the positioning connection structure and storage device provided in Example 1. Specifically, the column 1, the split locking assembly, and the sleeve tube 201 are all elliptical (not shown in the figure; elliptical means that both the top and bottom surfaces are elliptical, and the size of the ellipse on the top surface is smaller than the size of the ellipse on the bottom surface). This arrangement makes it easier to align the through hole 102 when the two columns 1 are inserted. If a circle is used, the column 1 will be rotatable, causing the through hole 102 to be misaligned when the two columns 1 are inserted.

[0040] Example 4 further optimizes the positioning connection structure and storage device provided in the above embodiments, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, magnets 305 are provided on both the card plate 303 and the card slot 302. When the two clips 3 are spliced ​​together, the magnets 305 on the two clips 3 can attract each other to play a limiting role, reducing the chance of the clips 3 falling off before being connected to the sleeve tube 201.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sleeve 201 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the depth of the anti-slip texture increases axially from the top to the bottom; so as to form frictional resistance with the outer surface of the clamp 3, so that as the sleeve 201 moves axially, the friction gradually increases with the increase of the pressing depth, which can better adapt to different operating conditions and load requirements.

[0042] Furthermore, the top of the clamp 3 is provided with a guide slope 304, which is used to guide the sleeve 201 and the clamp 3 when they are inserted, thereby facilitating the insertion of the sleeve 201 and the clamp 3, reducing jamming and obstruction during the installation process, and improving the overall installation efficiency.

[0043] In use, disassemble the fitting 2 at the socket, push the fitting 2 upward to separate the sleeve 201 from the clip 3, and then remove the clip 3 to disconnect the connection between the two pillars 1. Then remove the upper part together. In installation, fit the two pillars 1 together, then fit the clip 3 on the outer surface of the pillar 1, and insert the guide boss 301 into the through hole 102. Push the fitting 2 downward to fit the sleeve 201 and the clip 3 together.

[0044] Example 5: A storage device includes a positioning connection structure. The storage component 2 is a shelf, hanging basket, or storage box. It should be noted that, except for the magnet 305, the other components are not limited to materials and can use materials commonly used in existing storage devices, such as metal, plastic, wood, acrylic, or glass, such as iron, aluminum alloy, PVC plastic, tempered glass, etc.
