Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture accessories technology, specifically to a planar connector. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional furniture typically uses conventional connection methods to fix its various parts together, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when two furniture panels are connected, they are fixed together with screws using connectors. This connection method is not only time-consuming to install and the connection positions of the two furniture panels are not easy to align, but it is also inconvenient to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a planar connector that allows for convenient and quick alignment, saves time and effort in installation and disassembly, and improves installation efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a planar connector, including a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece fixed to two panels respectively during use. The upper and lower ends of the first and second connecting pieces are provided with slide rails. The sides of the first and second connecting pieces that are close to each other are respectively provided with a first locking part and a second locking part that can engage vertically. It also includes connecting blocks at both ends that can slide with the slide rails. The connecting blocks can slide in opposite directions, either a first or a second direction. The side of the first connecting piece away from the second connecting piece is provided with a locking structure for limiting or unlocking the sliding of the connecting block in the first direction. The side of the second connecting piece away from the first connecting piece is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the sliding of the connecting block in the second direction.

[0005] Using the above technical solution, during installation, the first and second snap-fit ​​parts on the two panels are aligned vertically and then snapped together, thereby aligning the two first and second connecting pieces and aligning the two panels. This alignment operation is convenient and quick. Next, the connecting block is moved along the slide rail in the second direction, so that the connecting block snaps onto both panels simultaneously, connecting the first and second connecting pieces and connecting the two panels. Then, the limiting structure restricts the connecting block from sliding in the second direction, and the locking structure restricts the connecting block from sliding in the first direction, thereby locking both ends of the connecting block simultaneously, ensuring a stable connection between the two panels. During disassembly, the locking structure unlocks the connecting block, allowing it to slide in the first direction, thus disconnecting the first and second connecting pieces and detaching the two panels. Installation and disassembly are time-saving and labor-saving, improving installation efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, both the first and second latching parts are L-shaped and symmetrically arranged horizontally, thereby achieving a latching fit between the first and second latching parts.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking structure consists of a groove formed on the first connecting piece and a spring and a spring disposed within the groove. The spring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the spring is disposed at the bottom of the groove. The spring can elastically extend partially out of the groove or retract completely into the groove.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, before the two panels are connected, the spring block is completely retracted into the groove under the pressure of the connecting block. When the two panels are connected, the connecting block slides away from the spring block in the second direction. After the spring block is unlocked, it pops out of the groove at the top under the action of the spring, thereby locking the connecting block. When disassembling, press the spring block to make it retract into the groove, thereby unlocking the connecting block.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting structure is a blocking portion protruding from the surface of the second connecting piece.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting piece can abut against the blocking part when it slides in the second direction, thereby limiting the sliding of the connecting block.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting block is provided with raised paddles to facilitate manual operation and sliding of the connecting block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the first and second snap-fit ​​parts on the two panels are aligned vertically and then snapped together, thereby aligning the positions of the two first and second connecting pieces and aligning the two panels. The alignment operation is convenient and quick. Then, the connecting block is moved along the slide rail in the second direction, so that the connecting block snaps onto the two panels simultaneously, connecting the first and second connecting pieces and connecting the two panels. Then, the limiting structure restricts the connecting block from sliding in the second direction, and the locking structure restricts the connecting block from sliding in the first direction, thereby locking both ends of the connecting block simultaneously, so that the two panels can be stably connected. During disassembly, the locking structure unlocks the connecting block, allowing the connecting block to slide in the first direction, thus deconnecting the first and second connecting pieces and disconnecting the two panels. Installation and disassembly are time-saving and labor-saving, improving installation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0019] See appendix Figure 1-4 The present embodiment of this utility model further includes: a planar connector, comprising a first connecting piece 21 and a second connecting piece 22 respectively fixed to two panels 1 during use. The upper and lower ends of the first connecting piece 21 and the second connecting piece 22 are provided with slide rails. The sides of the first connecting piece 21 and the second connecting piece 22 that are close to each other are respectively provided with a first locking part 31 and a second locking part 32 that can be engaged vertically. Specifically, the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32 are both L-shaped and arranged horizontally symmetrically, thereby realizing the vertical engagement of the first locking part 31 and the locking part.

[0020] It also includes connecting blocks 4 at the top and bottom ends that can slide with the slide rail. The connecting blocks 4 can slide in the opposite first or second direction. The first connecting piece 21 is provided with a locking structure on the side away from the second connecting piece 22 to limit or unlock the sliding of the connecting block 4 in the first direction. Specifically, the locking structure is a groove 211 opened on the first connecting piece 21 and a spring block 7 and a spring 8 provided in the groove 211. The spring block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 211, and the spring 8 is provided at the bottom of the groove 211. The spring block 7 can elastically extend partly out of the groove 211 or completely retract into the groove 211.

[0021] The second connecting piece 22 is provided with a limiting structure 5 on the side away from the first connecting piece 21 to limit the sliding of the connecting block 4 in the second direction. Specifically, the limiting structure 5 is a blocking part protruding on the surface of the second connecting piece 22.

[0022] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting block 4 is provided with a protruding lever 41, which facilitates manual operation of the connecting block 4 for sliding.

[0023] The principle of this utility model is as follows: before the two panels 1 are connected, the spring block 7 is completely retracted into the groove 211 under the pressure of the connecting block 4;

[0024] During installation, the first snap-fit ​​part 31 and the second snap-fit ​​part 32 on the two panels 1 are aligned vertically and then snapped together, so that the positions of the two first connecting pieces 21 and the second connecting pieces 22 are aligned, and the positions of the two panels 1 are aligned. The alignment operation is convenient and quick.

[0025] Next, the connecting block 4 is driven by the lever 41 to move along the slide rail and in the second direction, so that the connecting block 4 is simultaneously engaged on the two panels 1, so that the first connecting piece 21 and the second connecting piece 22 are connected, and the two panels 1 are connected. Then, the limiting structure 5 restricts the connecting block 4 from sliding in the second direction. Since the limiting structure 5 is a protruding blocking part, the connecting piece can abut against the blocking part when it slides in the second direction, thereby limiting the sliding of the connecting block 4.

[0026] At the same time, the locking structure restricts the connecting block 4 from sliding in the first direction: when the connecting block 4 slides in the second direction, it leaves the spring block 7. After the spring block 7 is unlocked, the top of the spring block 7 pops out the groove 211 under the action of the spring 8, thereby locking the connecting block 4. The blocking part and the spring block 7 lock the two ends of the connecting block 4 at the same time, so that the two panels 1 can be stably connected.

[0027] During disassembly, the locking structure unlocks the connecting block 4, and the connecting block 41 drives the connecting block 4 to slide in the first direction, so that the first connecting piece 21 and the second connecting piece 22 are disconnected, thereby disconnecting the two panels 1. The installation and disassembly are time-saving and labor-saving, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications assumed above should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
