Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of furniture connectors, and in particular relates to an adjustable furniture connector. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component in the furniture assembly process, furniture connectors directly affect the stability, assembly efficiency, and service life of furniture. They are widely used in the production and assembly of various types of furniture, such as panel furniture, solid wood furniture, and modular furniture. With the rapid development of the furniture industry, various types of furniture connectors have emerged on the market. A Chinese patent application with publication number CN222129677U discloses an adjustable furniture connector, including a mounting plate, a horizontal plate, a back plate, and a partition plate. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the partition plate. The adjustment mechanism includes pulleys, a limiting block, and a slider. Two pulleys are provided, both fixedly mounted on the upper end of the partition plate. By pulling the handle on the bottom slider of the partition plate, the guide rod drives the sliding block to slide within the movable cavity. The sliding block drives the locking rod to retract, disengaging the locking rod from the locking slot. The partition plate can then be moved laterally, allowing for flexible adjustment of the two partition plates as needed. This satisfies the user's requirements for allocating storage space and solves the problem in existing technologies where adjusting the internal storage space of a wooden cabinet requires repeated removal and installation of bolts, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, negatively impacting the user experience. Although the patent has certain adjustment functions, it still has the disadvantage of inconvenient disassembly and assembly. After installation, the interlocking structure between the eccentric part and the connecting rod is relatively tight. When disassembling, a special tool is needed to rotate the eccentric part in the opposite direction. After long-term use, the eccentric part is prone to jamming, which makes disassembly difficult and may even cause damage to the plate or connecting parts. To address this issue, we provide an adjustable furniture connector. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable furniture connector that solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of existing furniture connectors, which makes it difficult to disassemble, repair, or replace the furniture panels after installation, through the cooperation of vertical plates, horizontal plates, and connecting components.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model relates to an adjustable furniture connector, comprising a vertical plate, with mounting brackets bolted to the top and bottom of one side of the vertical plate, and a horizontal plate bolted to one side of the mounting brackets. A connecting assembly is provided between the horizontal plates, the connecting assembly including a mounting rail located at the bottom of the horizontal plate, a sliding rod fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mounting rail, and a mounting bracket movably connected to the surface of the sliding rod. Mounting screws are threaded to both sides of the mounting bracket, and a clamping plate is movably connected to one end of each mounting screw. A partition is provided between the clamping plates. Insertion holes are provided on the front of both the mounting rail and the mounting bracket, and pins are provided in the inner cavities of the insertion holes.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a pad is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate, and the slot at the bottom of the partition is movably connected to the surface of the pad. The size of the inner cavity of the slot at the bottom of the partition is adapted to the size of the pad. The limiting effect of the pad can improve the stability of one side of the partition.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate away from the mounting screw. The surface of the anti-slip pad is provided with anti-slip particles. The friction on one side of the anti-slip pad is high. The anti-slip pad can improve the anti-slip performance of the clamping plate surface and make the clamping force of the two clamping plates stronger.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting strip is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the mounting frame, and the surface of the limiting strip is movably connected to the limiting groove at the top of the partition. As the top of the partition is inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting frame, the limiting strip of the inner cavity of the mounting frame will be engaged in the limiting groove at the top of the partition. The limiting effect of the three limiting strips can improve the stability of the partition when inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting frame.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a magnetic groove is provided on the front side of the mounting rail, and a magnetic ring is provided in the inner cavity of the magnetic groove. One side of the magnetic ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the pin. The magnetic ring is inserted into the inner cavity of the magnetic groove as the pin is inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion hole. The magnetic limiting structure composed of the magnetic groove and the magnetic ring can fix the end of the pin to the surface of the mounting rail, and it is not easy to loosen due to external force.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that connecting brackets are provided on both sides of the mounting rail, and one side of the connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal plate by mounting bolts. After the mounting bolts pass through the connecting brackets, they are screwed into the bolt holes at the bottom of the horizontal plate. The mounting rail is installed and fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate by multiple sets of connecting brackets, and can be disassembled later.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that limiting sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting bracket, the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve is movably connected to the surface of the slide rod, the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve is adapted to the diameter of the slide rod, and the limiting sleeve moves with the mounting bracket on the surface of the slide rod. The limiting effect of the limiting sleeve can improve the movement stability of the mounting bracket.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting frame is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting bracket, and the inner cavity of the limiting frame is movably connected to the surface of the horizontal plate. After the two sides of the horizontal plate are respectively inserted into the two limiting frames, the horizontal plate and the vertical plate are fixed. The reinforcement effect of the limiting frame can further improve the connection strength between the horizontal plate and the vertical plate.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0014] 1. This utility model allows for the disassembly of the partition without the need for special tools. Simply rotate the mounting screw in the opposite direction to detach the clamping plate from the partition surface. Then, pull the partition forward to achieve quick disassembly. At the same time, its screw-driven clamping structure design avoids the jamming problem that easily occurs after long-term use of traditional eccentric clamping structures, effectively preventing damage to the plates or connecting parts during disassembly and assembly, and significantly reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0015] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of the pin, mounting rail, mounting bracket, and insertion hole, can easily realize the movement and fixation of the mounting bracket, thereby flexibly adjusting the spacing of the partitions to adapt to different storage needs. During installation, rotating the mounting screw drives the clamping plate to press against the partition. With the positioning function of the limiting strip and limiting groove, the stability of the partition installation can be ensured, avoiding loosening or displacement during use, thus balancing the convenience of adjustment and the structural stability.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an adjustable furniture connector, whose core function is to provide a solution for furniture partitions that requires no special tools, is easy to adjust, and has a stable connection.

[0025] In this embodiment, the components of the vertical plate 1, horizontal plate 3, mounting bracket 2 and connecting assembly 4, except for the slide rod 402, mounting screw 404 and pin 408 which are metal parts (such as carbon steel) to ensure structural strength, are preferably made of engineering plastics (such as ABS or PA nylon) with good strength and toughness, and are manufactured in one piece or separately through injection molding.

[0026] The connecting component 4 constitutes the core of the adjustable connection function. Its main body is a long strip mounting rail 401. The mounting rail 401 is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate 3 by connecting brackets 7 on both sides and mounting bolts. A sliding rod 402 with an optical axis is fixed in the inner cavity of the mounting rail 401 along its length direction, which serves as the guide base for the moving parts.

[0027] The mounting bracket 403 serves as a carrier for holding the partition 406. Its two sides are movably fitted onto the slide rod 402 through limiting sleeves, allowing the mounting bracket 403 to slide smoothly along the length of the mounting rail 401. The front of the mounting bracket 403 has a slot for accommodating the top of the partition 406. To improve positioning accuracy, several limiting strips 6 are fixed on one side of the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 403. These limiting strips 6 can cooperate with the limiting grooves pre-opened on the top of the partition 406, playing a guiding and initial anti-displacement role when the partition 406 is inserted.

[0028] The clamping mechanism consists of mounting screws 404 and clamping plates 405. The two mounting screws 404 are screwed in from both sides of the mounting bracket 403, with their axes perpendicular to the surface of the partition plate 406. One end of the mounting screw 404 extends into the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 403 and is movably connected to the clamping plate 405. This design allows the clamping plate 405 to produce slight self-adjustment when under pressure, ensuring full contact with the surface of the partition plate 406. To further enhance the clamping friction, an anti-slip pad with anti-slip particles is fixed on the clamping surface of the clamping plate 405.

[0029] The positioning and locking mechanism consists of a socket 407 and a pin 408. A series of sockets 407 are spaced at intervals along the length of the mounting rail 401 on its front side. Correspondingly, a socket 407 is also provided on the front side of the mounting bracket 403. When the mounting bracket 403 slides to the desired position, the pin 408 is simultaneously inserted into the corresponding sockets 407 on both the mounting bracket 403 and the mounting rail 401, thus achieving rapid positioning and locking of the mounting bracket 403. To facilitate the removal and storage of the pin 408, a magnetic ring can be provided at the socket 407 of the mounting rail 401, attracting the magnetic attachment fixed to the pin 408 to prevent loss.

[0030] In addition, to improve the overall structural stability, a pad 5 is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate 3. The pad 5 can be embedded in the slot at the bottom of the partition 406 to provide bottom support and limit the partition 406. A limit bracket 8 is also fixed to the back of the mounting bracket 2, into which the end of the horizontal plate 3 can be inserted, thereby adding another dimension of reinforcement to the connection between the vertical plate 1 and the horizontal plate 3.

[0031] The installation and adjustment process of this adjustable furniture connector is intuitive and simple. The specific working principle is as follows: S1: Initial installation.

[0032] Secure the mounting rail 401 to the bottom of the horizontal plate 3 via the connecting bracket 7. Insert the top of the partition 406 into the slot of the mounting bracket 403, ensuring that the limiting strip 6 is engaged in the limiting groove of the partition 406. At the same time, align the slot at the bottom of the partition 406 with the pad 5 on the top of the horizontal plate 3.

[0033] S2: Clamp and fix.

[0034] Tighten the mounting screws 404 on both sides of the mounting bracket 403 clockwise by hand. The axial pushing force of the mounting screws 404 is evenly transmitted to both sides of the partition 406 through the clamping plate 405 and the anti-slip pad, and the partition 406 is firmly clamped in the mounting bracket 403 by static friction. This screw-driven method has a large and controllable clamping force, effectively avoiding the problem of loosening or jamming of traditional eccentric parts.

[0035] S3: Position lock.

[0036] Insert the pin 408 into the socket 407 aligned with the mounting rail 401 on the mounting bracket 403. The pin 408 withstands the shear force generated by the partition 406 and its load, ensuring that the mounting bracket 403 will not move in the horizontal direction, thus completing the final fixation of the partition 406.

[0037] S4: Quick Adjustment.

[0038] When the position of the partition 406 needs to be adjusted to accommodate different storage requirements, simply pull out the pin 408, and the entire mounting bracket 403, along with the clamped partition 406, can easily slide along the slide bar 402. Once the new target position is reached, simply reinsert the pin 408 to complete the adjustment. The entire process requires no tools and will not damage the panels or connectors.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
