Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of furniture, and in particular to a furniture panel connector. Background Technology

[0002] Furniture panel connectors are a widely used type of connector on the market, mainly used to connect furniture panels. Currently, most of these connectors use a locking snap-fit ​​connection method. This locking snap-fit ​​method often makes the furniture connection relatively stable in the initial stages of installation. However, after a period of use or through repeated dragging and relocation, the connection can easily loosen, thus affecting the structural stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a furniture panel connector.

[0004] The technical solution for a furniture panel connector provided in this application is as follows:

[0005] A furniture panel connector includes a horizontal plate, a vertical plate, a metal corner bracket body, and a connecting and locking assembly;

[0006] The horizontal plate is used to support and install the overall device, and the vertical plate is vertically arranged on top of the horizontal plate;

[0007] The metal corner bracket body is used to lock and install the horizontal plate and the vertical plate. The metal corner bracket body is an L-shaped high-strength alloy block. Multiple side screw holes are opened on one side of the metal corner bracket body, and two bottom screw holes are opened on the other side of the metal corner bracket body.

[0008] The connection locking assembly includes a fixing screw, an adjusting screw, and a nut that pass through the side screw holes and the bottom screw holes. The nut is fixedly connected to the side wall of the metal corner bracket body. The adjusting screw is threaded inside the nut. One end of the adjusting screw movably passes through the side wall of the metal corner bracket body. A threaded hole that mates with the adjusting screw is opened at the bottom of one side of the vertical plate, thereby enabling fine adjustment of the horizontal spacing of the vertical plate.

[0009] Preferably, the side walls of both the horizontal plate and the vertical plate are provided with multiple mounting holes, which are adapted to the side screw holes and the bottom screw holes.

[0010] Preferably, the metal corner bracket body is made of aluminum alloy and has been surface treated to be corrosion resistant.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting screw is made of high-strength carbon steel, and its end has a cross groove adapted to a universal screwdriver.

[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the metal corner brackets are compact in size and can be embedded into the edges of panels for installation. Once connected, they are essentially hidden within the corners of the panels, minimizing damage to the furniture's appearance. They perfectly complement minimalist furniture designs, enhancing the overall aesthetics. The adjusting screws allow for precise fine-tuning of the panel spacing, effectively compensating for panel processing errors and on-site installation deviations, ensuring a tight fit. Installation and adjustment can be completed using a universal screwdriver, requiring no special tools. The standardized hole positions and adjusting screw design facilitate quick worker adoption, shortening furniture assembly time and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] This application discloses a furniture panel connector. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3A furniture panel connector includes a horizontal plate 1, a vertical plate 2, a metal corner bracket body 3, and a connecting locking assembly. The vertical plate 2 is vertically mounted on top of the horizontal plate 1. The metal corner bracket body 3 is used to lock the horizontal plate 1 and the vertical plate 2 together. The metal corner bracket body 3 is an L-shaped high-strength alloy block. Multiple side screw holes 4 are provided on one side of the metal corner bracket body 3, and two bottom screw holes 6 are provided on the other side. The connecting locking assembly includes a fixing screw 10 that passes through the side screw holes 4 and the bottom screw holes 6, an adjusting screw 5, and a nut 8. The nut 8 is attached to the side wall of the metal corner bracket body 3. The fixed connection is achieved by threading the adjusting screw 5 inside the nut 8. One end of the adjusting screw 5 moves through the side wall of the metal angle bracket body 3. A threaded hole 11 is provided at the bottom of one side of the vertical plate 2, which is threaded to engage with the adjusting screw 5, thereby enabling fine adjustment of the horizontal spacing of the vertical plate 2. Multiple mounting holes 7 are provided on the side walls of both the horizontal plate 1 and the vertical plate 2. The mounting holes 7 are adapted to the side screw holes 4 and the bottom screw holes 6. The metal angle bracket body 3 is made of aluminum alloy and has been surface treated to be corrosion resistant. The adjusting screw 5 is made of high-strength carbon steel and has a cross groove 9 at its end that is compatible with a universal screwdriver.

[0020] The threads between adjusting screw 5 and nut 8 can achieve self-locking. The self-locking condition depends on the thread helix angle, the coefficient of friction, and the load applied. The self-locking condition can be calculated using the following formula: Self-locking condition = Coefficient of friction × tan(helix angle) ≥ 1. When this condition is met, the threaded connection is self-locking. The above is all prior art. In practical applications, the corresponding self-locking angle can be set according to the friction coefficient of the material, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0021] The implementation principle of a furniture panel connector according to this application embodiment is as follows: During use, according to the furniture design, mounting holes 7 are machined at the preset connection positions of the vertical plate 2 and the horizontal plate 1. A fixing screw 10 is inserted into the bottom screw hole 6 of the metal corner bracket body 3, aligned with the mounting hole 7 on the horizontal plate 1, and the fixing screw 10 is tightened to lock the metal corner bracket body 3 to the horizontal plate 1. Then, the vertical plate 2 is placed on top of the horizontal plate 1, with the threaded hole 11 on the vertical plate 2 aligned with the adjusting screw 5. A Phillips screwdriver is inserted into the Phillips groove 9 and the adjusting screw 5 is rotated to achieve connection. The horizontal spacing between the horizontal plate 1 and the vertical plate 2 is finely adjusted according to actual installation requirements to ensure splicing accuracy. After adjustment, the fixing screw 10 is inserted into the side screw hole 4 of the metal corner bracket body 3, aligned with the mounting hole 7 on the vertical plate 2, and the fixing screw 10 is tightened to lock the metal corner bracket body 3 to the vertical plate 2, completing a high-strength rigid locking. If the panels become loose during furniture use, a screwdriver can be used to rotate the adjusting screw 5 to readjust the panel spacing, and tightening the fixing screw 10 will restore a stable connection. When the plate needs to be replaced, the fixing screw 10 and adjusting screw 5 are removed in reverse to separate the plate from the metal corner bracket body 3. The metal corner bracket body 3 can be reused, reducing the cost of use.

[0022] During this process, the compact metal corner bracket 3 can be embedded into the edge of the board for installation. After connection, it is basically hidden within the corner of the board, minimizing damage to the furniture's appearance. It perfectly matches the minimalist furniture design and enhances the overall aesthetics of the furniture. The adjusting screw 5 can precisely fine-tune the spacing between the boards, effectively compensating for board processing errors and on-site installation deviations, ensuring a tight fit. Installation and adjustment can be completed using a general-purpose screwdriver, without the need for special tools. The standardized hole positions and adjusting screw 5 design make it easy for workers to quickly get started, shortening furniture assembly time and improving production efficiency.
