Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Industrial and commercial transportation relies heavily on wooden crates for the protection of machinery and products. These crates are typically constructed from multiple wooden planks joined together, with adjacent planks secured by connectors to form a complete crate. Existing connectors, such as those described in Chinese patent application number 201810384409.6, entitled "An Intelligent Extendable Wooden Crate Connector," require at least three pre-drilled bolt holes for reinforcement when assembling with the planks. This results in low assembly efficiency. Furthermore, unpacking also necessitates removing the bolts first, leading to overall low assembly and disassembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A connector includes a bent structure consisting of two clamping portions, each clamping portion having a snap-fit ​​structure at its end, and at least one clamping portion having a protrusion on its inner side at its end, the protrusion protruding toward the inside of the bent structure.

[0006] Preferably, the number of protrusions is two or more, and the two or more protrusions face the same direction and are evenly distributed on the inner side of the end of the clamping part.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion is triangular.

[0008] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure includes two interconnected straight portions, and the cross-sectional shape formed by the two straight portions and the clamping portion is Z-shaped. The protrusion is provided on the straight portion connected to the clamping portion, and the protrusion is arranged parallel to the clamping portion.

[0009] Preferably, only one of the two clamping parts has a protrusion on the inner side of its end, while the other clamping part has a deformable part at its end.

[0010] Preferably, the deformable part includes two symmetrically arranged bending surfaces on opposite sides of the clamping part. The bending surfaces are formed by bending the clamping part outward toward the bending structure, and the bending surfaces are located close to the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the clamping part with the protrusion is shorter than the length of the other clamping part.

[0012] Preferably, another clamping part is provided with a machining positioning hole.

[0013] Preferably, in the free state, the bending angle of the bending structure is 75°±0.2°.

[0014] Preferably, the bends of the two clamping parts are provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model provides a connector comprising a bent structure formed by two clamping parts. Each clamping part has a snap-fit ​​structure at its end, and at least one clamping part has a protrusion on its inner side at its end, protruding towards the inside of the bent structure. When used to connect wooden crates, the snap-fit ​​structures of the two clamping parts engage with the wooden boards on adjacent sides of the crate, while the protrusion protruding towards the inside of the bent structure embeds into the wooden board of the crate. The combined action of the snap-fit ​​structures and the protrusion achieves a stable connection of the crate, eliminating the need for additional screws or reducing the use of screws. This allows for quick removal of the connector during unpacking, improving unpacking efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] See Figures 1 to 5The present invention provides a connector comprising a bent structure consisting of two clamping parts, each clamping part having a snap-fit ​​structure at its end, and at least one clamping part having a protrusion on the inner side of its end, the protrusion protruding toward the inner side of the bent structure.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] This utility model provides a connector comprising a bent structure formed by two clamping parts. Each clamping part has a snap-fit ​​structure at its end, and at least one clamping part has a protrusion on its inner side at its end, protruding towards the inside of the bent structure. When used to connect wooden crates, the snap-fit ​​structures of the two clamping parts engage with the wooden boards on adjacent sides of the crate, while the protrusion protruding towards the inside of the bent structure embeds into the wooden board of the crate. The combined action of the snap-fit ​​structures and the protrusion achieves a stable connection of the crate, eliminating the need for additional screws or reducing the use of screws. This allows for quick removal of the connector during unpacking, improving unpacking efficiency.

[0028] Preferably, the number of protrusions is two or more, and the two or more protrusions face the same direction and are evenly distributed on the inner side of the end of the clamping part.

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, using more protrusions can improve the stability of the connection with the wooden box.

[0030] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion is triangular.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the above shape makes it easy to embed into the wooden box, thus achieving the effects of saving labor, convenience, and improving work efficiency.

[0032] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure includes two interconnected straight portions, and the cross-sectional shape formed by the two straight portions and the clamping portion is Z-shaped. The protrusion is provided on the straight portion connected to the clamping portion, and the protrusion is arranged parallel to the clamping portion.

[0033] Preferably, only one of the two clamping parts has a protrusion on the inner side of its end, while the other clamping part has a deformable part at its end.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the deformation part, the connector is made more resilient during assembly.

[0035] Preferably, the deformable part includes two symmetrically arranged bending surfaces on opposite sides of the clamping part. The bending surfaces are formed by bending the clamping part outward toward the bending structure, and the bending surfaces are located close to the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the specific structure described above forms a deformation part on the clamping part, thereby improving the toughness of the connector.

[0037] Preferably, the length of the clamping part with the protrusion is shorter than the length of the other clamping part.

[0038] Preferably, another clamping part is provided with a machining positioning hole.

[0039] As described above, the positioning holes are used to position the connecting parts with the processing equipment during the processing, which helps to improve the processing accuracy and thus ensure assembly stability.

[0040] Preferably, in the free state, the bending angle of the bending structure is 75°±0.2°.

[0041] As described above, when the above parameters are used, the bent structure is opened by the wooden box, giving it a certain restoring force, thereby ensuring the stability of the two fixed surfaces.

[0042] Preferably, the bends of the two clamping parts are provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, the structural strength of the bending structure is improved by reinforcing ribs.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] See Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a connector made of metal, comprising a bending structure 1 formed by two clamping parts. In its free state, the bending angle of the bending structure 1 is 75°±0.2°. Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 3 are provided at the bends of the two clamping parts to improve the structural strength of the bending structure.

[0046] Both clamping parts have a snap-fit ​​structure 2 at their ends. The snap-fit ​​structure 2 includes two interconnected straight parts 21, and the cross-sectional shape formed by the two straight parts 21 and the clamping parts is Z-shaped. The two straight parts are arranged vertically, and the connection is rounded. Reinforcing ribs are provided at the connection between the straight parts and the clamping parts.

[0047] The two clamping parts are a first clamping part 11 and a second clamping part 12. The inner surface of the end of the first clamping part 11 has a protrusion 111. The protrusion 111 is located on a straight portion connected to the clamping part, protruding towards the inside of the bent structure and arranged parallel to the clamping part. Specifically, there are two or more protrusions 111, which face the same direction and are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the end of the clamping part. In this embodiment, there are two protrusions with a triangular cross-sectional shape, facilitating embedding into the wooden box and achieving a labor-saving effect.

[0048] The second clamping part 12 has a deformation part 121 at its end. The deformation part 121 includes two symmetrically arranged bending surfaces 1211 on opposite sides of the clamping part. The bending surfaces 1211 are formed by bending the clamping part outwards towards the outside of the bending structure, and are positioned close to the snap-fit ​​structure. The second clamping part 12 has a machining positioning hole 122. The machining positioning hole is used to position the connector between the connector and the machining equipment during machining, facilitating improved machining accuracy and ensuring assembly stability. In this embodiment, there is one machining positioning hole 122, but multiple holes can also be provided. When there is only one hole, the shape of the machining positioning hole is set to a non-circular shape such as a square or triangle. If there are two or more holes, any shape can be selected.

[0049] In this connection, the length of the clamping part with the protrusion is shorter than the length of the other clamping part; that is, the length of the first clamping part is shorter than the length of the second clamping part. The specific parameters of the above-mentioned connector are as follows: Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the figure, the length unit of the parameters is millimeters.

[0050] After assembling a wooden box using the connector provided by this utility model, when unpacking, simply use common tools to pry up the end of the second clamping part of the connector to detach the connector from the wooden box.

[0051] This utility model has been described with reference to the above-described embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the above embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model.
