Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a modular connector, belonging to the field of decoration materials. Background Technology

[0002] When constructing garden buildings or other structures, most buildings are constructed using wood or concrete. If concrete is used, the material is heavy, and after construction or preparation, repositioning requires the assistance of equipment such as cranes, which is laborious and time-consuming. If wood is used, such as solid wood, composite wood, or preservative-treated wood, even if preservative-treated wood is used to construct garden buildings, it will still age due to sunlight outdoors, which will shorten its service life.

[0003] In response, the existing technology application number CN202421335435.7, entitled "A Garden Module Connector," discloses that the garden structure assembled from several main components and accessories has a channel formed by a second through hole and a first through hole for water, wiring, and lighting. It is highly practical and solves the aforementioned problems. However, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] The outer surface of this garden module connector is smooth and it adopts an interlaced connection method. If it is used to build a structure, including but not limited to garden buildings, the connection between two adjacent garden module connectors is not tight enough, and there are gaps, which make it easy for light and water to pass through.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a modular connector that is tightly connected, horizontally connected, and not easily permeable to light or water. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular connector that is tightly connected, horizontally connected and not easily transparent to light or water.

[0009] As a further improvement, the plug-in structure includes a protrusion and a recess that matches the contour of the protrusion.

[0010] As a further improvement, the protrusion is provided on one or more end faces of the main body, and the recess is provided on one or more end faces of adjacent main bodies, and is used to cooperate with the protrusion to form a plug-in structure so as to detachably and fixably connect two adjacent main bodies.

[0011] As a further improvement, the protrusion is composed of a plurality of protrusions arranged in an array or in a linear arrangement, and the recess is composed of a plurality of grooves arranged in an array or in a linear arrangement.

[0012] As a further improvement, when the protrusion is provided on one end face of the main body, the protrusion is provided on the entire end face, the edge of the end face, or the middle of the main body, and the recessed portion is correspondingly provided on the entire end face, the edge of the end face, or the middle of the adjacent main body.

[0013] As a further improvement, the component module includes a first through hole and a plurality of second through holes distributed around the first through hole, wherein both the first and second through holes penetrate the two end faces of the main body along the lateral direction.

[0014] As a further improvement, the second through holes are arranged in an array around the first through holes.

[0015] As a further improvement, the present invention also includes an accessory for use with the main body. The accessory has a hollow cylinder inside, and the outer surface of the cylinder is provided with an annular protrusion and an annular groove corresponding to the first or second through hole, so as to detachably and fix the accessory and the main body.

[0031] Example

[0032] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a modular connector, including a main body 10 and a plurality of component modules 20 disposed on the main body 10. One or more end faces of the main body 10 are provided with a plug-in structure to detachably and fixedly connect two adjacent modular connectors through the plug-in structure.

[0033] Based on traditional garden module connectors, the end face of the main body 10 described in this embodiment is provided with a plug-in structure. After two adjacent module connectors are plugged in, firstly, the connection between the two adjacent module connectors is strengthened; secondly, after plugging in, due to the overlapping of the connection points, the gaps are also bent and transformed, preventing light and moisture from passing through directly vertically, thus enhancing practicality. This allows the present invention to be used as a decoration material and is not limited to use in garden environments.

[0034] In this solution, the component module 20 has the same function as the group in the traditional garden module connector, which is used for water and electricity, and even for plugging in the accessory 50; specifically, the component module 20 includes a first through hole 201 and a number of second through holes 202 distributed around the first through hole 201. The first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202 both penetrate through the two end faces of the main body 10 along the side direction.

[0035] As one embodiment of the component module 20 structure, the second through holes 202 are arranged in an array around the first through holes 201, focusing on... Figure 2 and Figure 4 A number of second through holes 202 are arranged in a square array around the first through hole 201 for assembling garden buildings or other equipment structures, such as potted plants. The accessories 50 can be inserted into the positions of the second through holes 202 according to the actual situation.

[0036] In this design, the present invention also includes an accessory 50 used in conjunction with the main body 10. The accessory 50 is mainly used for overlapping adjacent module connectors in the vertical direction to construct the main structure of a wall or other equipment. Specifically, see a garden module connector. The accessory 50 has a hollow cylindrical body, and the outer surface of the cylindrical body has an annular protrusion and an annular groove corresponding to the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 202, so as to detachably and fix the accessory 50 and the main body 10. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in practical applications, the annular protrusion on the outer surface of the cylinder can be designed in the middle or at the end of the cylinder. As long as it is on the outer surface of the cylinder, it can be detachably and fixedly connected to the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 202 of the main body 10.

[0037] Emphasis on combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in the detachable implementation of the connector between two adjacent modules, the plug-in structure of this embodiment includes a protrusion and a recessed portion that matches the contour of the protrusion.

[0038] As one embodiment of the plug-in structure, the protrusion in this embodiment is provided on one or more end faces of the main body 10, and the recessed part is provided on one or more end faces of adjacent main bodies 10, and is used to cooperate with the protrusion to form a plug-in structure so as to detachably and fixably connect two adjacent main bodies 10.

[0039] Specifically, the protrusion is composed of a plurality of protrusions 30 arranged in an array or in a linear arrangement, and the recess is composed of a plurality of grooves 40 arranged in an array or in a linear arrangement.

[0040] In this solution, when the protrusion is located on one end face of the main body 10, the protrusion is located on the entire end face, end face edge, or middle of the main body 10. The recessed portion is located on the entire end face, end face edge, or middle of the adjacent main body 10. That is to say, in practical applications, it is not limited to this embodiment. As another implementation of the arrangement of the protrusion and the recessed portion, the protrusion in this solution can be located on the entire end face, end face edge, or middle of the adjacent main body 10, and the corresponding recessed portion is located on the entire end face, end face edge, or middle of the main body 10. It is used to cooperate with the protrusion to form a plug-in structure so as to detachably and fixably connect the first shell and the second shell.

[0041] In this solution, the materials selected for preparing this utility model include, but are not limited to, metal, ceramic, glass, or plastic materials. Specifically, the main body 10, the plug-in structure disposed on the main body 10, and the accessory 50 are made of metal, ceramic, glass, or plastic materials. When selecting materials, the main body 10, the plug-in structure disposed on the main body 10, and the accessory 50 can be made of the same material, or multiple materials can be selected to make different accessories. For example, the main body 10 can be made of plastic material, while the accessory 50 can be made of metal material, to adapt to different usage scenarios and improve the versatility of use.

[0042] Secondly, the above materials were chosen because metals have superior mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, and their corrosion and weather resistance are good if the garden structures are to be built outdoors for extended periods. Ceramic materials have advantages such as high melting point, high hardness, high wear resistance, and oxidation resistance. Compared to metals and concrete, they are also lighter and easier to move. Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material that provides wind and rain insulation and strong light transmission. Plastics are polymers made from monomers through addition or condensation polymerization. They are resistant to chemical corrosion, partially transparent or translucent, mostly good insulators, lightweight and sturdy, and easy to color, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

[0043] In this embodiment, the main body 10 is a columnar polyhedron, including but not limited to cubes, cuboids, hexagonal prisms with an L-shaped cross-section, etc. The number of component modules 20 in the main body 10 can also be selected one or more depending on the size and the main body 10. For example, 1 and 2 in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 4 As shown.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
