[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0022] An angle connector for keel, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the device includes a first clamping member 1, a second clamping member 2, and a clamping assembly 3. The first clamping member 1 has first clamping portions 11 on its adjacent two sides, and the second clamping member 2 has second clamping portions 21 on its adjacent two sides. The first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are positioned opposite each other and connected by the clamping assembly 3. The clamping assembly 3 controls the distance between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2. In use, the first clamping portions 11 and the second clamping portions 21 are inserted into grooves on the side of the keel. The distance between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 is adjusted by the clamping assembly 3 to fix the angle connector to the keel.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are in the form of a right-angled triangle. The first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are located on the two right-angled sides of the right-angled triangle structure; the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 cooperate to fix the two keels vertically.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are snapped together and fixed. Pre-fixing the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 allows for quick use during frame assembly, improving assembly efficiency.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 is provided with a guide portion 12 and a hook portion 13, and the second clamping member 2 is provided with a matching slot 22. Specifically, both the guide portion 12 and the hook portion 13 are strip-shaped mechanisms, and the slot 22 is a square through hole. The width of the through hole is greater than the thickness of the guide portion 12 and the hook portion 13, so that the hook portion 13 can be assembled with the through hole. The guide portion 12 and the hook portion 13 are perpendicular to each other. The hook portion 13 serves as a limit to prevent the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 from separating. The guide portion 12, in cooperation with the through hole, guides the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 to move towards or in opposite directions.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 and / or the second clamping member 2 are provided with limiting parts 4. The limiting parts 4 are used to limit the minimum distance between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2. The limiting parts 4 may be provided only on the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping member 2; of course, the limiting parts 4 may also be provided on both the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the clamping assembly 3 includes a bolt 31 and a nut 32. Specifically, both the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are provided with through holes 5, and the bolt 31 passes through the two through holes 5 and is then connected to the nut 32.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the clamping assembly 3 also includes a spring 33, which is disposed on the bolt 31 and located between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2. The spring 33 applies a reverse driving force to the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, thereby causing the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 to be tightly pressed against the bolt 31 and the nut 32 respectively, so that the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 maintain the current distance; at the same time, during locking, there is friction between the nut 32 and the clamping member, which keeps the nut 32 and the clamping member relatively stationary when driving the bolt 31 to rotate, thereby facilitating the locking of the angle connector; during the final tightening, a wrench is applied to the nut 32 side to tighten the bolt 31.

[0029] In the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, nut 32 is fixed together with the second clamping member 2.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are provided with through holes, and the through holes are countersunk holes. The bolt 31 and nut 32 can be hidden in the countersunk holes to avoid affecting other mounting parts.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the first clamping member 1 and the first clamping part 11 are an integral structure.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the second clamping member 2 and the second clamping part 21 are an integral structure.

[0033] Specifically, all components on the first clamping member 1 and all components on the second clamping member 2 are formed by cutting sheet material to improve overall strength.

[0034] When using this utility model, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the distance between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 is greater than the width of the keel. The two keels are placed perpendicular to each other. An angle connector is set at the corner. The two sides of the angle connector are aligned with the keel, so that the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are respectively inserted into the groove of the keel. Rotating the bolt 31 reduces the distance between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, thereby clamping and fixing the keel.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope thereof should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
