[0025] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a quick-assembly connector for material racks is used for assembling logistics material racks, making the fabrication and maintenance of material racks more convenient and efficient. (See attached image.) Figure 4 , 5 As shown, two quick-assembly connectors for material racks are installed at both ends of the square tube 4 to form a splicing pipe.

[0026] Align and insert the quick-assembly connector of the material rack at one end of the splicing pipe into the assembly hole on the other pipe to assemble the material rack.

[0027] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the material rack quick-assembly connector is cast in one piece, offering high strength and a complex integrated structure, resulting in lower mass production costs. Detailed structure is as follows:

[0028] It includes a platform 2 with a quadrangular frustum-shaped outer contour, a cylindrical end positioning post 1 protruding outward from the top of the platform 2, and a tail connector 3 located at the bottom of the platform 2. The overall shape gradually decreases in size from the tail connector 3 to the end positioning post 1, facilitating quick alignment and assembly of the tube body's assembly holes. (See attached image) Figure 5 As shown, the assembly hole is designed to match the shape of the quadrangular truncated pyramid 2 and the end positioning post 1. The assembly hole includes a square window on one side of the tube body 4 and a round hole on the other side of the tube body 4 opposite the square window. During assembly, the end positioning post 1 is inserted into the round hole, and the bottom of the quadrangular truncated pyramid 2 corresponds to the square window, effectively preventing axial rotation.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the platform 2 has an inner cavity 21 penetrating the bottom in the middle. An internally threaded hole 11 is provided on the end positioning post 1, which communicates with the inner cavity 21. The center line of the internally threaded hole 11, the center line of the end positioning post 1, and the center line of the platform 2 coincide. This results in uniform and stable force distribution and a relatively light overall weight. Furthermore, when the quick-assembly connector of the material rack is inserted into the corresponding assembly hole, a bolt can be screwed into the internally threaded hole 11 from the outside to prevent the quick-assembly connector from detaching from the assembly hole during assembly.

[0030] As attached Figure 2 , 3As shown, the tail connector 3 is used to connect to the end of the square tube 4. In this embodiment, the tail connector 3 is used to be welded and fixed after being positioned and fitted with the end sleeve of the tube 4. It includes a square outer edge 31, a square reinforcing edge 32, and four integrally formed positioning protrusions 33 between the reinforcing edge 32 and the outer edge 31. The square outer edge 31 is formed by expanding outwards around the bottom edge of the platform 2 in the bottom direction. The square reinforcing edge 32 is formed by expanding outwards around the bottom edge of the platform 2 in the center line direction. The four positioning protrusions 33 are located at the corner positions.

[0031] In this embodiment, the quick-assembly connector for the material rack is pre-welded to the end of the tube body 4. During connection, the four positioning protrusions 33 are first inserted into one end of the tube body 4, and the four positioning protrusions 33 are precisely positioned against the inner wall of the tube body 4. The end of the square tube body 4 rests against the outer flange 31, and the two are welded together to fix them in place. The dimensional fit is precise, the support strength is higher and more stable, and it is suitable for batch processing.

[0032] Alternatively, the quick-assembly connector of the material rack and the pipe body 4 can be set as a weld-free assembly, but the reinforcing edge 32 and the positioning protrusion 33 need to be designed to be longer along the axial direction to facilitate bolt reinforcement.

[0033] The quick-assembly connector for the material rack is used in the assembly of the material rack. The quick-assembly connector is pre-installed and welded to both ends of the corresponding pipe body 4 to form the splicing pipe. This process can be completed directly after the pipe cutting process, making it convenient. The subsequent assembly of the material rack, such as involving the attached... Figure 5 As shown, two short splicing pipes can be inserted into the assembly holes of two long splicing pipes at both ends. Bolts can be screwed into the internal threaded holes 11 to prevent them from coming loose. Then, short edge rods can be assembled at both ends of the two long splicing pipes. Bolts can also be screwed into the internal threaded holes 11 of the long splicing pipes to prevent them from coming loose. Next, three short splicing pipes and long edge rods can be assembled on the other side of each long splicing pipe. The ends of the long edge rods and the ends of the short edge rods are mortise and tenoned to form the base frame of the material rack. This allows for quick assembly without electricity or fire, which is convenient for the production and manufacturing of material racks. Disassembly and assembly are convenient, and maintenance is easy. If a splicing pipe is damaged, it is also easy to replace.

[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
