Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connection component technology, and in particular to a connection component, container and rigid platform. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing containers have a modular structure, consisting of multiple stacked and connected modules that can store different types of items. Adjacent modules are connected by locking elements and locking slots. When locked, the locking element is located within the locking slot; unlocking requires continuous pressure to extend the locking element from the slot. However, unlocking containers requires maintaining continuous pressure on the locking element to separate adjacent containers, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in low unlocking efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connection component that is not only simple in structure but also easy to unlock, saving time and effort.

[0004] This utility model provides a connecting component for connecting a first module and a second module, the connecting component comprising:

[0005] A locking structure is provided on adjacent first and second modules. The locking structure includes a locking member movably provided on the second module and a mating part provided on the first module. When the mating part approaches the locking member in a first direction, the locking member can automatically lock with the mating part. When the locking structure is in the locked state, it enables the first module to be connected to the second module. When the locking structure is in the unlocked state, it allows the first module to be separated from the second module.

[0006] The retaining structure includes a stop portion that can move with the locking member and a blocking portion that can abut against the stop portion;

[0007] When the stop and the blocking part abut against each other in the second direction, the locking structure is in a locked state; when the stop and the blocking part abut against each other in the third direction, the locking structure remains in an unlocked state.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the locking structure further includes a first elastic element located between the locking member and the second module, which can drive the locking member to move to interfere with the mating part, so that the locking member automatically remains in the locked state.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the locking element is a horizontal sliding buckle, which includes an operating element that can slide horizontally relative to the second module and a locking tongue that is throttledly connected to the operating element; the stop is disposed on the operating element and can move horizontally upward with the operating element.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the operating element includes an assembly portion on which a stop portion is retractably disposed, the stop portion being located on the side of the latch facing its locking direction.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the retaining structure further includes a second elastic member located between the stop and the locking member, and the second elastic member is capable of causing the stop to extend or retract in the second direction.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the retaining structure further includes a pivot disposed on the locking member, the stop being rotatably connected to the locking member via the pivot.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the retaining structure further includes a second elastic element, which is an elastic arm, one end of which is fixedly connected to the locking element, and the other end is suspended and provided with the stop portion.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the retaining structure further includes a second elastic element, the retaining structure including two of the stops, the second elastic element being located between the two stops, the second elastic element being capable of simultaneously causing the two stops to extend and retract in the second direction.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the mating portion includes a lower wall and a side wall, the locking member can interfere with and lock with the lower wall, the blocking portion is the side wall, and the stop portion can abut against the side wall; the side wall includes a front surface away from the first module and a side surface away from the lower wall, when the stop portion abuts against the front surface, the latching structure remains in the unlocked state, and when the stop portion abuts against the side surface, the latching structure is in the locked state.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the stop includes an inclined surface facing the first direction and a straight surface facing the third direction.

[0017] When the mating part approaches the locking member along the first direction, the lower wall of the mating part presses against the inclined surface of the stop part; when the locking structure remains in the unlocked state, the front surface of the mating part abuts against the straight surface of the stop part.

[0018] This utility model also provides a container that is connected to another container or rigid platform via the connection components described above.

[0019] This utility model also provides a rigid platform, which is connected to another rigid platform via the connection components described above.

[0020] The connecting component provided by this utility model has a retaining structure, which includes a stop part and a blocking part. The stop part and the blocking part abut against each other to keep the locking structure in the unlocked state. When unlocking, there is no need to apply a retaining force to the locking part, so that the first module and the second module can be separated, which facilitates the user's unlocking and separation operation and saves time and effort.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0036] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification and claims of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0037] The directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," and "bottom" (if present) used in the specification and claims of this utility model are defined according to the position of the structures in the drawings and the relative positions of the structures, and are only for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a connecting component for connecting a first module 100 and a second module 200. The first module 100 and the second module 200 are adjacent, for example, stacked vertically or abutting each other horizontally. This connecting component can be applied to containers, such as toolboxes, tool holders, storage boxes, storage baskets, drawer boxes, wheeled boxes, tool bags, etc., and can also be applied to rigid platforms, such as flatbeds, external panels, adapter plates, workbenches, drawing boards, etc. This connecting component is mainly used for interlocking between two modules; the first module 100 can be a container, and the second module 200 can also be a container, with the connecting component interlocking between the containers; the first module 100 / second module 200 can be containers, and the second module 200 / first module 100 can be rigid platforms, with the connecting component interlocking between the containers and the rigid platforms; the first module 100 can be a rigid platform, and the second module 200 can also be a rigid platform, with the connecting component interlocking between the rigid platforms.

[0039] This embodiment is illustrated by taking the example that both the first module 100 and the second module 200 are containers, and the first module 100 and the second module 200 are stacked vertically.

[0040] The connecting assembly includes a locking structure 1 and a retaining structure 2. The locking structure 1 is disposed on adjacent first modules 100 and second modules 200, for example, on the contact surfaces of the first module 100 and second module 200, or at positions where the sides of the first module 100 and second module 200 are close together. The locking structure 1 includes a locking member 11 movably disposed on the second module 200 and a mating part 12 disposed on the first module 100; when the mating part 12 approaches the locking member 11 along a first direction Y, the locking member 11 automatically locks with the mating part 12. The locking structure 1 has a locked state and an unlocked state, and can switch between the locked and unlocked states through its own movement. When the locking structure 1 is in the locked state (i.e., the locking member 11 and the mating part 12 are locked together), the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be connected to prevent the first module 100 and the second module 200 from separating; when the locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state (i.e., the locking member 11 and the mating part 12 are unlocked), the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be separated, that is, the connection between the first module 100 and the second module 200 is canceled at this time.

[0041] Simultaneously, the locking structure 1 can automatically remain in the locked state. That is, when the locking structure 1 is not subjected to force, the locking member 11 can automatically move along its locking direction S and lock with the mating part 12, so that the locking structure 1 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the locking structure 1 to the first module 100 and the second module 200. Specifically, the locking structure 1 also includes a first elastic member 13, which is located between the locking member 11 and the second module 200. The first elastic member 13 can drive the locking member 11 to move to interfere with the mating part 12, so that the locking member 11 automatically remains in the locked state.

[0042] The retaining structure 2 includes a stop 21 and a blocking part 22. The stop 21 is disposed on the locking member 11 and can move with the locking member 11; the blocking part 22 is disposed on the first module 100 and fixed to the first module 100, and the blocking part 22 can abut against the stop 21. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the stop part 21 and the blocking part 22 abut against each other in the second direction X, the locking structure 1 is in a locked state; as Figure 4As shown, when the stop part 21 and the blocking part 22 abut against each other in the third direction Z, the locking structure 1 remains in the unlocked state. At this time, it is not necessary to apply a holding force to the locking member 11 to separate the first module 100 and the second module 200. Herein, the first direction Y, the second direction X, and the third direction Z are different directions; in this embodiment, the first direction Y, the second direction X, and the third direction Z are the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-back direction of the first module 100, respectively. The first direction Y, the second direction X, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction Z is parallel to the locking direction S of the locking member 11.

[0043] The connection component provided in this embodiment, by setting a retaining structure 2, including a stop part 21 and a blocking part 22, uses the stop part 21 and the blocking part 22 to abut against each other in the third direction Z to keep the locking structure 1 in the unlocked state, overcoming the rebound force of the first elastic member 13. When unlocking, there is no need to apply a retaining force to the locking member 11, so that the first module 100 and the second module 200 can be separated, thereby facilitating the user's unlocking and separation operations, saving time and effort.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the locking member 11 is a horizontal sliding buckle. The locking member 11 includes an operating member 112 that can slide horizontally relative to the second module 200 and a locking tongue 111 that is pulsatorically connected to the operating member 112. The locking tongue 111 can lock or unlock with the mating part 12. In this embodiment, the locking tongue 111 and the operating member 112 are an integral structure; in other embodiments, the locking tongue 111 and the operating member 112 may not be an integral structure, and the operating member 112 can drive the locking tongue 112 to move. Specifically, the mating part 12 is provided with a locking groove 120; such as Figure 1 As shown, when the latch structure 1 is in the locked state, the latch 111 extends into the locking groove 120; as Figure 4 As shown, when the latch structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the latch tongue 111 extends out of the locking groove 120. By the latch tongue 111 extending into and out of the locking groove 120, the latch structure 1 can switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0045] The operating element 112 can slide horizontally relative to the second module 200 along the third direction Z. The operating element 112 is used for user operation to unlock the locking structure 1. Simultaneously, a stop 21 is provided on the operating element 112, and the stop 21 can move horizontally along the third direction Z with the operating element 112. Specifically, when the locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the user can move the operating element 112 in the unlocking direction of the locking element 11 (i.e.,...). Figure 8A force is applied to the locking member 11 in the opposite direction of the locking direction S, causing the locking member 11 to move away from the mating part 12. At this time, the locking tongue 111 extends out of the locking groove 120 under the action of the operating member 112, thereby unlocking the latch structure 1. Simultaneously, the stop part 21 also moves outward under the action of the operating member 112, causing the stop part 21 to disengage from the blocking part 22 in the second direction X, and finally causing the stop part 21 and the blocking part 22 to abut against each other in the third direction Z, keeping the latch structure 1 in the unlocked state. At the same time, as Figure 8 As shown, the stop part 21 is located on the side of the latch 111 facing its locking direction (the locking direction of the latch 111 is also the locking direction S of the locking member 11), that is, the stop part 21 is closer to the center of the second module 200 than the latch 111; this arrangement ensures that when the stop part 21 and the blocking part 22 abut against each other in the third direction Z, the latch 111 can fully extend out of the locking groove 120.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the locking structure 1 further includes a mounting portion 14, which is fixedly disposed on the second module 200. The locking member 11 is slidably connected to the mounting portion 14, and the locking member 11 can slide horizontally relative to the mounting portion 14 in the third direction Z. The first elastic member 13 is a spring, which is disposed between the locking member 11 and the mounting portion 14. When the locking member 11 moves toward its unlocking direction, the first elastic member 13 compresses and stores force, thereby providing elastic force when the locking member 11 moves toward its locking direction S, so that the subsequent locking member 11 can automatically move along its locking direction S, thereby automatically keeping the locking member 11 in the locked state. Specifically, the second module 200 has a mounting groove (not labeled) on its side, and the mounting portion 14 is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove so that the outer wall of the mounting portion 14 is flush with the outer wall of the second module 200. The mounting part 14 is provided with a slide groove (not labeled in the figure), the operating part 112 of the locking part 11 is located in the slide groove, and the operating part 112 can slide along the slide groove, thereby guiding and limiting the sliding direction of the operating part 112 and preventing the locking part 11 from disengaging from the mounting part 14.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figures 6 to 9As shown, in one embodiment, the retaining structure 2 further includes a second elastic member 23, which is located between the stop portion 21 and the locking member 11. The second elastic member 23 can drive the stop portion 21 to extend and retract in the second direction X. Specifically, the operating member 112 includes an assembly portion 113, which is an integral structure with the operating member 112. The stop portion 21 is extendably disposed on the assembly portion 113, and the second elastic member 23 is disposed between the stop portion 21 and the assembly portion 113. In this embodiment, the assembly portion 113 is a hollow structure, and a through hole 113A is provided on the side wall of the assembly portion 113. A part of the stop portion 21 is located inside the assembly portion 113, and another part of the stop portion 21 extends out of the assembly portion 113 after passing through the through hole 113A. The stop portion 21 can extend and retract horizontally relative to the assembly portion 113 in the second direction X. When the locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the stop part 21 is at least partially retracted into the assembly part 113 under the resistance of the blocking part 22 in the second direction X; when the locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the stop part 21 loses the resistance of the blocking part 22 in the second direction X, and under the elastic force of the second elastic member 23, it partially extends out of the assembly part 113, and then resists the blocking part 22 in the third direction Z, so that the locking structure 1 remains in the unlocked state.

[0048] The stop portion 21 has a protrusion 214 at one end inside the assembly portion 113. The second elastic member 23 is a spring, located inside the assembly portion 113, with one end sleeved on the protrusion 214 and abutting against the stop portion 21. Simultaneously, the stop portion 21 has a stop portion 213 located inside the assembly portion 113. When the stop portion 21 extends outward relative to the assembly portion 113, the stop portion 213 abuts against the inner wall of the assembly portion 113, thereby preventing the stop portion 21 from dislodging from the through hole 113A on the assembly portion 113.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the blocking part 22 is part of the mating part 12 (of course, in other embodiments, the blocking part 22 can also be independently provided, that is, the blocking part 22 is not part of the mating part 12). Specifically, the mating part 12 includes a lower wall 121 and a side wall 122, both of which protrude from the surface of the first module 100, and the locking groove 120 is formed by the lower wall 121 and the side wall 122. The locking member 11 can interfere with the lower wall 121 for locking, thereby preventing the first module 100 from separating from the second module 200. The blocking part 22 is the side wall 122 of the mating part 12, and the stop part 21 can abut against the side wall 122. The side wall 122 includes a front surface 122A away from the first module 100 and a side surface 122B away from the lower wall 121; as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the stop 21 abuts against the front surface 122A, the locking structure 1 remains in the unlocked state; Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when the stop part 21 abuts against the side surface 122B, the locking structure 1 is in a locked state.

[0050] The stop portion 21 includes an inclined surface 211 facing the first direction Y, an abutting surface 212 facing the second direction X, and a straight surface 215 facing the third direction Z; wherein, the abutting surface 212 can be a straight surface, an arc surface, etc. When the mating portion 12 approaches the locking member 11 along the first direction Y, the lower wall 121 of the mating portion 12 presses against the inclined surface 211 of the stop portion 21, thereby causing the stop portion 21 to move in a direction away from the side wall 122 of the mating portion 12; when the locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the side surface 122B of the mating portion 12 abuts against the abutting surface 212 of the stop portion 21; when the locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the front surface 122A of the mating portion 12 abuts against the straight surface 215 of the stop portion 21.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12 is connected to the side wall 122, and the connection position of the lower wall 121 and the side wall 122 forms the apex position of the mating part 12. In fact, when the mating part 12 approaches the locking member 11 along the first direction Y, the apex position of the mating part 12 will press against the inclined surface 211 of the stop part 21 and squeeze the stop part 21 to move. In order to make the apex position of the mating part 12 able to squeeze the stop part 21 to move more smoothly, the apex position of the mating part 12 has a rounded structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking structure 1 includes two mating parts 12, and the locking member 11 includes two locking tongues 111, which correspond to the two mating parts 12 respectively and can lock with the two mating parts 12 respectively. The two locking tongues 111 and the two mating parts 12 are spaced apart along the second direction X, and the assembly part 113 is located between the two locking tongues 111. The retaining structure 2 includes two stop parts 21, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the assembly part 113 facing the two locking tongues 111. A second elastic member 23 is located between the two stop parts 21, and the second elastic member 23 can simultaneously drive the two stop parts 21 to extend and retract in the second direction X. Therefore, the two stop parts 21 can respectively abut against the side walls 122 of the two mating parts 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the stop part 21 can also be provided only on one side of the assembly part 113.

[0053] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, in another embodiment, unlike the structure described above, the retaining structure 2 also includes a rotating shaft 24 disposed on the locking member 11. The stop part 21 is rotatably connected to the locking member 11 via the rotating shaft 24, meaning the stop part 21 can rotate relative to the locking member 11. Specifically, the stop part 21 is disposed on the assembly part 113, and the stop part 21 is rotatably connected to the assembly part 113 via the rotating shaft 24, allowing the stop part 21 to rotate relative to the assembly part 113. A portion of the stop part 21 is located inside the assembly part 113, and the other portion of the stop part 21 extends out of the assembly part 113 after passing through the through hole 113A on the assembly part 113. There are two stop parts 21, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the assembly part 113 facing the two locking tongues 111. A second elastic member 23 is located between the two stop parts 21, and the second elastic member 23 can simultaneously drive the two stop parts 21 to rotate. When the mating part 12 approaches the locking member 11 along the first direction Y, the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12 presses against the inclined surface 211 of the stop part 21, thereby causing the stop part 21 to rotate in a direction away from the side wall 122 of the mating part 12; when the locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the side surface 122B of the mating part 12 abuts against the contact surface 212 of the stop part 21; when the locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the front surface 122A of the mating part 12 abuts against the straight surface 215 of the stop part 21.

[0054] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in another embodiment, unlike the structure described above, the second elastic member 23 is an elastic arm. One end of the elastic arm is fixedly connected to the locking member 11, and the other end is suspended and provided with a stop part 21. Specifically, the locking member 11 can be made of elastic material such as plastic. The elastic arm is provided on the side walls of opposite sides of the assembly part 113, and the elastic arm and the assembly part 113 are an integral structure. A notch 113B is provided on the side wall of the assembly part 113 corresponding to the periphery of the elastic arm, so that the elastic arm is in a suspended state and has elasticity. The stop part 21 is integrally provided on the suspended end of the elastic arm. When the mating part 12 approaches the locking member 11 along the first direction Y, the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12 presses against the inclined surface 211 of the stop part 21, thereby causing the stop part 21 and the elastic arm to rotate together in a direction away from the side wall 122 of the mating part 12; when the locking structure 1 is in the locked state, the side surface 122B of the mating part 12 abuts against the contact surface 212 of the stop part 21; when the locking structure 1 is in the unlocked state, the front surface 122A of the mating part 12 abuts against the straight surface 215 of the stop part 21.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a container that is connected to another container or rigid platform via the connection components described above.

[0056] This embodiment also provides a rigid platform that is connected to another rigid platform via the connection components described above.

[0057] The working process of the connection component in this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] When the first module 100 and the second module 200 are locked together, the first module 100 is placed on the second module 200 from top to bottom. At this time, the mating part 12 on the first module 100 approaches the locking member 11 on the second module 200 along the first direction Y. The locking tongue 111 of the locking member 11 moves outward after being squeezed by the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12. At the same time, the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12 presses against the inclined surface 211 of the stop part 21, thereby causing the stop part 21 to move in a direction away from the side wall 122 of the mating part 12 and at least... Partially retracted into the assembly part 113; after the first module 100 moves downward a certain distance, the locking tongue 111 of the locking member 11 loses the squeezing action of the lower wall 121 of the mating part 12, that is, the locking tongue 111 corresponds to the locking groove 120 on the mating part 12. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 13, the locking tongue 111 moves inward and extends into the locking groove 120, thereby realizing the mutual locking of the first module 100 and the second module 200; at this time, the side surface 122B of the mating part 12 and the abutting surface 212 of the stop part 21 abut against each other.

[0059] When the first module 100 and the second module 200 need to be separated, the operating member 112 on the locking member 11 is pulled by hand, causing the locking member 11 to move away from the mating part 12. At this time, the locking tongue 111 extends out of the locking groove 120 under the action of the operating member 112, thereby unlocking the latch structure 1. At the same time, the stop part 21 loses the abutting effect of the side surface 122B of the mating part 12 along the second direction X, and extends out of the assembly part 113 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 23. Then, the stop part 21 and the front surface 122A of the mating part 12 abut against each other in the third direction Z. That is, at this time, the straight surface 215 of the stop part 21 and the front surface 122A of the mating part 12 abut against each other in the third direction Z, keeping the latch structure 1 in the unlocked state. At this time, the user can easily lift the first module 100 upwards by hand to separate the first module 100 and the second module 200.

[0060] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
