Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of furniture accessories, and more specifically, to an elastic connector for an assembled panel structure. Background Technology

[0002] In furniture products, the connection between shelves and side panels is very common, especially with the widespread use of honeycomb panels, which have higher resistance to deformation. Traditionally, shelves are connected using concealed connectors, such as the cabinet shelf connector disclosed in Chinese patent document CN218717977U.

[0003] In the aforementioned prior art connectors, the locking cylinder is usually cylindrical and applied to wooden boards. However, for honeycomb panels, since the inside of the honeycomb panel is a honeycomb core, which is formed by multiple thin walls interlaced, after the cylindrical locking cylinder is inserted into the honeycomb panel, the locking cylinder can only be fastened by the limiting groove on the circumference, but there is no further fixation at the end. This causes the end of the locking cylinder to easily loosen, resulting in the circumferential wall continuously squeezing the thin wall of the honeycomb core and causing it to loosen. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an elastic connector for an assembled plate structure to solve the problems in the existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an elastic connector of an assembled plate structure, including a body, a telescopic connecting rod provided at one end of the body, a locking head provided at the upper end of the connecting rod, and a tapered opening provided at the other end of the body, with a slot provided inside the tapered opening.

[0006] In the above-mentioned elastic connector of the assembled plate structure, the main body includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell and the second shell are separable and combinable structures. A spring cavity is provided in the main body. A spring is provided in the spring cavity. A telescopic rod is provided at one end of the connecting rod near the spring cavity. One end of the spring abuts against the retaining ring, and the other end abuts against the lower end of the spring cavity.

[0007] In the above-mentioned elastic connector of a prefabricated plate structure, the telescopic rod is located in the spring cavity and is provided with a retaining ring. The diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the diameter of the telescopic rod, and the inner diameter of the spring cavity is the same as the outer diameter of the retaining ring.

[0008] In the above-mentioned elastic connector of a prefabricated plate structure, the first housing and the second housing are respectively provided with a locking post and a insertion hole on the side surfaces facing each other.

[0009] In the aforementioned elastic connector of a prefabricated plate structure, barbs are provided on the outer walls of both the first and second housings.

[0010] In the above-mentioned elastic connector of a prefabricated plate structure, the ends of the first and second housings away from the connecting rod are both provided with inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces on both sides enclose the conical opening.

[0011] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that a tapered opening is provided on the end face of the main body. The thin wall on the honeycomb core inside the honeycomb plate is clamped through the tapered opening, and the slot can further clamp the thin wall, thereby further tightening the end of the main body. This greatly improves the applicability of the elastic connector in the honeycomb plate, makes it more secure, and prevents loosening. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0018] Combination Figures 1 to 4The elastic connector of the assembled panel structure shown includes a body, a telescopic connecting rod 7 at one end of the body, a clamp 8 at the upper end of the connecting rod 7, and a tapered opening at the other end of the body with a groove 13 inside the tapered opening. In this embodiment, the tapered opening on the end face of the body is used to clamp the thin wall 15 on the honeycomb core in the honeycomb panel 14. At the same time, the groove 13 can further clamp the thin wall 15, thereby further tightening the end of the body, greatly improving the applicability of the elastic connector in the honeycomb panel 14, making it more secure and preventing loosening.

[0019] Specifically, the main body includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are detachable and combinable structures. A spring cavity 3 is provided inside the main body, and a spring 4 is provided inside the spring cavity 3. A telescopic rod 5 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 7 near the spring cavity 3. One end of the spring 4 abuts against the retaining ring 6, and the other end abuts against the lower end of the spring cavity 3. The telescopic rod 5 drives the connecting rod 7 to extend and retract inside the main body, so as to place the shelf between the two side plates for installation by compression, so that the retaining head 8 can pop out and snap into place after it aligns with the retaining hole on the upper side plate.

[0020] Specifically, both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 have a bevel 12 at the end away from the connecting rod 7, and the two bevels 12 enclose a conical opening; after the body is inserted into the honeycomb plate 14, the conical opening can better squeeze the thin wall 15 on the honeycomb core together, and a portion of the thin wall 15 is inserted through the slot 13, thereby making the end inside the honeycomb plate 14 more stable.

[0021] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 5 is located inside the spring cavity 3 and is provided with a retaining ring 6. The diameter of the retaining ring 6 is larger than the diameter of the telescopic rod 5, and the inner diameter of the spring cavity 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the retaining ring 6; this allows the retaining ring 6 to move within the spring cavity 3 to prevent the connecting rod 7 from detaching from the main body.

[0022] It is worth noting that the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are respectively provided with a locking post 9 and an insertion hole 10 on the side facing each other, so that the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be better combined to form the main body.

[0023] In this embodiment, barbs 11 are provided on the outer walls of both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, so that after the main body is inserted into the honeycomb plate 14, the barbs 11 prevent the main body from falling out and improve stability.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
