[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Figure 1 A furniture 100 and a drawer slide assembly 200 for use in the furniture are shown in one embodiment. The furniture 100 includes a body 10 and a movable element 20 (hereinafter referred to as "drawer 20") slidably connected to the body 10 via the drawer slide assembly 200. The body 10 includes two opposing side panels 11, a top panel 12 located between the two side panels 11, and a bottom panel 13. The side panels 11, top panel 12, and bottom panel 13 surround to form a receiving space. One or more drawers 20 are slidably received in the receiving space.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The slide rail assembly 200 includes a first slide rail member 30 and a second slide rail member 40 that are slidably connected to each other. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, each drawer 20 requires two slide rail assemblies 200. Two first slide rail members 30 are respectively fixed to the main body 10, specifically to the opposing inner surfaces of the two side panels 11; two second slide rail members 40 are respectively fixed to two opposite sides of the drawer 20. In one embodiment, the slide rail assembly 200 is a three-section telescopic slide rail, meaning the first slide rail members 30 and the second slide rail members 40 are connected together by an intermediate slide rail member 50. The slide rail assembly 200 has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the first slide rail member 30, the second slide rail member 40, and the intermediate slide rail member 50 overlap. This retracted state corresponds to the closed state of the drawer 20. During the process of the user opening the drawer 20, force is transmitted through the second slide rail member 40. First, the second slide rail member 40 and the intermediate slide rail member 50 slide out from the first slide rail member 30 as a whole; after reaching a certain position, the second slide rail member 40 continues to slide out from the intermediate slide rail member 50. The intermediate slide rail component 50 is the most structurally complex part of the slide rail assembly 200, typically integrating a separation device and a self-closing function. Considering that this patent application improves upon the first slide rail component 30 and the second slide rail component 40, the intermediate slide rail component 50 still adopts the intermediate slide rail component of the prior art; therefore, the specific construction of the intermediate slide rail component 50 will not be described in detail. The slide rail assembly 200 can be a stacked slide rail, a bottom-mounted slide rail, a friction slide rail, or other types of slide rail. Understandably, in another embodiment, the slide rail assembly 200 can also be a two-section telescopic slide rail.

[0034] refer to Figure 4-7 In one embodiment, the first slide rail component 30 includes a first snap-fit ​​component 31, and the second slide rail component 40 includes a second snap-fit ​​component 41. The slide rail assembly 200 also includes a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 61 and a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 62 (both see...). Figure 8 The first snap-fit ​​part 61 is fixed to the main body 10 of the furniture 100, and the first snap-fit ​​part 61 and the first snap-fit ​​piece 31 are snap-fitted together. The second snap-fit ​​part 62 is fixed to the drawer 20 of the furniture 100, and the second snap-fit ​​part 62 and the second snap-fit ​​piece 41 are snap-fitted together.

[0035] With the above structure, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 can snap into the first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 can snap into the second snap-fit ​​mating part 62, allowing users to manually connect the first slide rail member 30 to the main body 10 and the second slide rail member 40 to the drawer 20. This avoids the problems caused by using screws in the prior art, such as screws being bent, insufficient tightening, and screw position deviation.

[0036] In one embodiment, both the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 are elongated straight strips. The first slide rail 30 includes a base plate 32 and sidewalls 33 protruding in the same direction from both ends of the base plate 32, thereby forming a receiving space 34. The second slide rail 40 includes a base plate 42 and sidewalls 43 protruding in the same direction from both ends of the base plate 42. The second slide rail 40 is partially or entirely received in the receiving space 34, with the inner surface 321 of the base plate 32 facing the inner surface 421 of the base plate 42. The outer surface 322 of the base plate 32 and the outer surface 422 of the base plate 42 are opposite to each other. In one embodiment, both the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 are provided with a plurality of first latching members 31 and second latching members 41 arranged in a length extension direction.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 protrudes from the side of the first slide rail member 30 (i.e., the outer side surface 322 of the substrate 32), and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 protrudes from the side of the second slide rail member 40 (i.e., the outer side surface 422 of the substrate 42). In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 can be fixed to the first slide rail member 30 and the second slide rail member 40 by conventional connection methods, such as riveting, welding, etc.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 have the same structure, each including a column (i.e., columns 311 and 411) and a head (i.e., heads 312 and 412) located at one end of the column. The first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part 62 have the same structure. Specifically, refer to... Figure 8-10The first snap-fit ​​part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​part 62 both include a body 63. The body 63 is provided with a receiving cavity 64 with one end open. A protrusion 65 protrudes from the side wall 641 of the receiving cavity 64. The protrusion 65 is spaced apart from the bottom 642 of the receiving cavity 64. The head 312 / 412 extends into the receiving cavity 64, and a portion of the head 312 / 412 is engaged between the protrusion 65 and the bottom 642 of the receiving cavity 64. With this structure, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 can engage with the first snap-fit ​​part 61, and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 can engage with the second snap-fit ​​part 62.

[0039] In one embodiment, the protrusion 65 includes an opening slot 66, making the protrusion 65 generally U-shaped. During the engagement of the first latching member 31 and the first latching engagement portion 61, and the second latching member 41 and the second latching engagement portion 62, the pillars 311 and 411 are first aligned with the receiving cavities 64 of the first latching engagement portion 61 and the second latching engagement portion 62 under user operation, then the pillars 311 and 411 are inserted into the receiving cavity 64 under user operation, and then the pillars 311 and 411 are moved towards the opening slot 66 under user operation until the pillars 311 and 411 contact the closed end of the opening slot 66. During this process, the heads 312 and 412 of the first latching member 31 and the second latching member 41 are tightly clamped between the protrusion 65 and the bottom 642 of the receiving cavity 64 (see...). Figure 11 With this structure, the first snap-fit ​​member 31 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 respectively snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part 62, thereby connecting the first slide rail member 30 to the main body 10 and fixing the second slide rail member 40 to the drawer 20.

[0040] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the body 63 has a protruding ridge 67 (see...). Figure 8 For example, the outer surface of the body 63 protrudes in multiple rings to the top 631 of the body 63 (see...). Figure 8 The ridges 67 are roughly parallel. The ridges 67 enable the body 63 to form an interference fit with the receiving holes on the body 10 and the drawer 20, thereby making the first snap-fit ​​part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​part 62 firmly embedded in the body 10 and the drawer 20.

[0041] refer to Figure 12-15In one embodiment, to prevent the first latching member 31 and the first latching engagement part 61, and the second latching member 41 and the second latching engagement part 62 from becoming loose during use, the slide rail assembly 200 further includes two connecting bases 71 respectively disposed in the main body 10 and the drawer 20, and two locking members 72 passing through the first slide rail member 30 and the second slide rail member 40. Each connecting base 71 is provided with a locking hole 711, and each locking member 72 is respectively locked into the locking hole 711, thereby preventing the first slide rail member 30 from moving relative to the main body 10 and preventing the second slide rail member 40 from moving relative to the drawer 20.

[0042] In one embodiment, the two connecting bases 71 are respectively embedded in the main body 10 and the drawer 20. Each connecting base 71 is provided with an opening slot 712 extending along the length of each connecting base 71 from its end away from the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40. Each connecting base 71 has a ridge 713 on its circumferential outer surface. Due to the presence of the opening slot 712, the upper part of the connecting base 71 (in...) Figure 13 From a certain perspective, the upper part of the connecting base 71 is divided into two spaced-apart parts 714, allowing the upper part of the connecting base 71 to undergo elastic deformation. Due to the presence of the ridge 713, after the connecting base 71 is inserted into the receiving holes of the main body 10 and the drawer 20, the two spaced-apart parts 714 move closer to each other due to the pressure of the inner surface of the receiving hole on the ridge 713. After the locking member 72 is inserted into the locking hole 711 of the connecting base 71, the locking member 72 applies a pushing force to the two spaced-apart parts 714, causing them to move away from each other, thereby making the ridge 713 tightly locked into the inner surface of the receiving hole of the main body 10 and the drawer 20, thus securely embedding the connecting base 71 into the receiving hole of the main body 10 and the drawer 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, the inner side of the locking hole 711 of each connecting base 71 has an inner ridge 715 protruding from it, and the outer side of each locking member 72 has a groove 721. After the locking member 72 is inserted into the locking hole 711, the ridge 715 is received in the groove 721, thereby preventing each locking member 72 from disengaging from the corresponding connecting base 71. In this way, the locking member 72 can be securely connected to the connecting base 71.

[0044] Furniture 100 is delivered to the user in the form of parts, wherein the first snap-fit ​​part 61, the second snap-fit ​​part 62, and the connecting base 71 are all pre-embedded into the side panel 11 of the main body 10 and the side panel of the drawer 20. (Reference) Figure 16During assembly, the user needs to align the first snap-fit ​​member 31 of the first slide rail member 30 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 of the second slide rail member 40 with the first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part 62. Then, the first slide rail member 30 and the second slide rail member 40 are brought closer to the first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part 62 until the pillars 311 and 411 of the first snap-fit ​​member 31 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 extend into the receiving cavity 64 of the first snap-fit ​​mating part 61 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part. After that, the user can push the first slide rail member 30 and the second slide rail member 40 so that the pillars 311 and 411 of the first snap-fit ​​member 31 and the second snap-fit ​​member 41 move into the opening slot 66 of the receiving cavity 64 until the pillars 311 and 411 contact the closed end of the opening slot 66. At this time, the heads 312 and 412 of the first latching member 31 and the second latching member 41 are tightly clamped between the protrusion 65 and the bottom 642 of the receiving cavity 64, thus connecting the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 to the main body 10 and the drawer 20. Afterwards, the user inserts a locking member 72 through the through holes 323 and 423 on the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 (see...). Figure 4 and Figure 5 Then, insert it into the connecting base 71, thereby firmly fixing the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 to the main body 10 and the drawer 20. After that, connect the first slide rail 30 and the second slide rail 40 to the intermediate slide rail 50 respectively, so that the drawer 20 is slidably connected to the main body 10.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
