Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture connectors, and in particular to a plastic connector with a hanging function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of panel structure connections, taking the fixing of a tabletop and supporting components as an example, traditional solutions require two independent components: a connecting piece and a hook. The connecting piece only serves the function of structural connection; the hook, on the other hand, needs to be installed separately to enable hanging of items.

[0003] This separate design has several drawbacks. First, it presents a functionally fragmented situation, requiring users to repeatedly purchase and install both components, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to positional interference. Second, in terms of cost and weight, the metal connector itself is expensive and heavy, and the addition of two components further increases supply chain costs. Furthermore, the two components not only occupy more installation space, making them less suitable for compact environments, but also present safety and aesthetic challenges; the sharp edges of the metal hook pose a scratch risk, and the multiple components appear visually disjointed. Existing improvements, such as adding separate hooks to plastic connectors, still cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of functional integration, low cost, and safety.

[0004] Therefore, a plastic connecting piece with a suspension function was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by integrating connection and suspension functions through a one-piece molded plastic connector, which can be achieved simultaneously in a single installation. This solves the problems of functional separation, cumbersome installation, and positional interference in traditional two-component systems. The plastic material reduces costs and weight, and the single component reduces supply chain costs. It saves installation space and improves applicability in compact scenarios. The absence of sharp edges enhances safety and aesthetics.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention solves the problems of existing connecting pieces having single function, high cost, and inconvenient installation through the following technical solution.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A plastic connecting piece with a suspension function includes:

[0009] Connectors;

[0010] An installation structure disposed on the connector for connecting the first external component and the second external component;

[0011] At least one suspension portion integrally formed with the connector, the suspension portion extending outward from the connector to form a suspension space.

[0012] Preferably, the suspension part includes a base that smoothly transitions with the connector, and a hook part integrally formed with the base, wherein the free end of the hook part is bent toward the connector to form an anti-detachment bending structure.

[0013] Preferably, the suspension portion is disposed on the upper edge of the connector, and the suspension portion extends downward from the upper edge of the connector to form a hook portion.

[0014] Preferably, the suspension portion is disposed on the side of the connector, and the suspension portion extends horizontally from the side of the connector to form a hook portion.

[0015] Preferably, the suspension portion is disposed at the bottom of the connector, and the suspension portion extends downward from the bottom of the connector to form a hook portion.

[0016] Preferably, the outer surface of the suspension part is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting structure includes at least two spaced-apart connecting holes, which are through holes or elongated adjustment holes, for fixing the first external component and the second external component respectively.

[0018] Preferably, a magnet is embedded in the edge end face of the hole in the mounting structure.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The plastic connector with suspension function provided in this application integrates connection and suspension functions through a one-piece molded plastic connector, which can be achieved simultaneously in a single installation. This solves the problems of functional separation, complicated installation, and positional interference of traditional dual-component systems.

[0030] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0031] Example:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 A plastic connecting piece with a suspension function includes: a connector 1; an installation structure 3 disposed on the connector 1 for connecting a first external component and a second external component; and at least one suspension part 2 integrally formed with the connector 1, the suspension part 2 extending outward from the connector 1 to form a suspension space.

[0033] The plastic connecting piece with suspension function of this application is made of engineering plastic (such as ABS, PP or reinforced nylon) through an integrated injection molding process. It includes a connector 1, an installation structure 3 and at least one suspension part 2. It mainly achieves the structural connection of external parts (such as table and support) and the function of hanging items through integrated structural design, solving the problems of cumbersome operation, high cost and large space occupation of traditional separate design.

[0034] Connector 1 is a sheet-like substrate with a flat working surface on the front for attaching to external components (such as the side of a tabletop or the surface of a support) to ensure a tight fit during connection. The back (non-working surface) has grid-like or strip-like reinforcing ribs 6, which increase the moment of inertia of the cross section to improve overall rigidity and prevent bending deformation under stress. The dimensions of connector 1 can be designed according to the actual application scenario to accommodate external components of different specifications.

[0035] Mounting structure 3 is set on the flat working surface of connector 1 to achieve a fixed connection with the first external component (such as a tabletop) and the second external component (such as a support leg or side brace). Specifically, it includes at least two spaced connection holes, the number of which can be adjusted according to the force requirements (usually 2-4).

[0036] The connection hole can be either a through hole or an oblong adjustment hole. The through hole is used for precise positioning and fixation; the oblong adjustment hole is set in the horizontal or vertical direction to allow for minor position adjustments during installation and to accommodate installation errors of external components.

[0037] A magnet 7 is embedded on the edge face of the connecting hole. During installation, the magnet can attract the metal fasteners (such as screws) on the external parts to assist in pre-positioning, reduce component offset during installation, and improve installation efficiency.

[0038] The suspension part 2 is integrally formed with the connector 1, and extends outward from the connector 1 to form a closed or semi-closed suspension space for suspending items. Its structural design takes into account both suspension reliability and safety. The opening direction is adapted to the position of the suspension part. When the suspension part is located at the upper edge of the connector, the opening faces upward; when it is located on the side, the opening faces outward; and when it is located at the bottom, the opening faces downward.

[0039] The suspension part 2 includes a base 4 that smoothly transitions with the connector 1 and a hook part 5 integrally formed with the base 4. The base 4 serves as the connection and transition structure between the suspension part 2 and the connector 1, and adopts an arc transition design to avoid stress concentration and improve the bending resistance of the suspension part 2. The hook part 5 extends outward from the base 4, and its free end bends toward the connector 1 to form an anti-slip bending structure. This structure can effectively prevent suspended items such as cloth bags and tools from accidentally slipping off.

[0040] Depending on the installation scenario of the external component, the suspension part 2 can be set at different positions of the connector 1:

[0041] When used as a support for connecting the lower edge of a tabletop, the hanging part 2 can be set on the upper edge of the connector 1 and extend downward from the upper edge to form a hook part 5. The hanging space is located above the front of the connector 1, which is convenient for hanging lightweight items.

[0042] When used for connecting the side support of the tabletop, the suspension part 2 can be set on the side of the connector 1, and extend horizontally from the side to form the hook part 5. The suspension space is located on the side to avoid interference with the space under the tabletop.

[0043] When used for bottom connection of support member, the suspension part 2 can be set at the bottom of the connector 1 and extend downward from the bottom to form a hook part 5, which is suitable for hanging items near the ground and can also be hidden under the table.

[0044] In addition, the outer surface of the suspension part 2 (especially the edge of the hook part 5) adopts a rounded corner design to avoid the risk of bumps and scratches caused by sharp edges; at the same time, a reinforcing rib 6 extension section can be added to the back of the connection area between the suspension part 2 and the connector 1 to further improve the structural stability when the suspension is under stress.

[0045] Working principle

[0046] The flat working surface of connector 1 is aligned with the positions of the first external component (such as a tabletop) and the second external component (such as a support component) to be connected, aligning the connecting hole of mounting structure 3 with the pre-drilled mounting hole on the external component. At this time, the magnetic piece 7 on the edge of the connecting hole attracts the metal fasteners (such as screws) on the external component, assisting in pre-positioning and preventing the connecting piece from shifting during installation. Subsequently, fasteners such as screws and bolts are passed through the connecting hole to fix the first and second external components to both sides of connector 1, achieving a stable structural connection. If an elongated adjustment hole is used, the connection position can be finely adjusted before tightening the fasteners to accommodate installation errors. The reinforcing rib 6 on the back of connector 1 increases the moment of inertia of the cross section, improving the overall rigidity and ensuring that the connecting piece does not bend or deform when the connection is subjected to force (such as the gravity of the tabletop or external impact), thus ensuring connection stability.

[0047] The hook portion 5 of the suspension part 2 and the connector 1 form a closed or semi-closed suspension space. When it is necessary to hang items such as keys, bags, tools, etc., the items can be hung on the hook portion 5. The anti-slip bending structure at the free end of the hook portion 5 is inclined upward / towards the connector 1, which can effectively prevent items from slipping off when slightly shaking or bumping, thus improving the reliability of the suspension.

[0048] The base 4 of the suspension part 2 adopts a smooth transition design, and with the extension of the reinforcing rib 6, it ensures that the connection area between the suspension part 2 and the connector 1 will not break when suspending heavy items, thus ensuring safety in use.

[0049] In summary, this utility model, through its integrated plastic structure design, can simultaneously achieve structural connection and item hanging functions with just one installation. Compared with the traditional separate design, it significantly reduces costs, lightens weight, simplifies installation, and saves space, while improving safety and aesthetics. It is suitable for various panel structure connection scenarios such as furniture and home furnishings.
