Reference to prior application

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application 202323387108.4, filed on December 12, 2023. Technical Field

[0002] The disclosure relates to the technical field of furniture quick assembly, specifically to a quick-assembly connection structure and furniture. Background Art

[0003] Furniture quick-assembly structure usually includes a side panel (lateral panel) structure, in which side panel is one of the main frame components of the furniture, and is connected with the top panel, bottom panel and other components to form the main structure of the furniture. Various structural forms of side panels, such as flush, protruding, recessed, etc., are existed depending on the modeling requirements; and back panel structure, in which the back panel is mainly used to close the back of the cabinet, but also to strengthen the stability of the cabinet. The back panel can be embedded in the grooves of the side panel and the top and bottom panels by inset panels or directly by plywood or fiberboard.

[0004] A common furniture quick-assembly connection structure can refer to a fixed connection structure and furniture disclosed in the disclosure patent document with authorization notice number CN213360692U, in which the fixed connection structure is provided on two connecting panels, and includes a buckle latch connection member and a limit structure, the limit structure includes an insertion member and an insertion fit part which are mating fit, the insertion member and the insertion fit part are separately provided on the two connecting panels, the buckle latch connection member includes a first body and a second body, the first body and the second body are respectively mounted on two connection panels, the first body includes a rotating plate and a connecting rod, the rotating plate can drive the connecting rod to move, so as to make the connecting rod lap or disengage with the second body. The furniture includes a plurality of connection plates and the aforementioned fixed connection structure, and the plurality of connection plates are connected by the fixed connection structure.

[0005] The working principle of the afore buckle latch connection member is as follows: after the connecting rod on the first body is hitched to the second body, the leverage effect when the rotating panel is rotated is utilized to complete the hitching of the connecting rod with the second body, and when it is necessary to disengage the hitching, the rotating panel can be rotated in the reverse direction. However, in actual use, the above structure still exists certain shortcomings: in order to make the connecting rod stably hitch with the second body, the distance between the first body and the second body needs to be fixed, when the first body and the second body were installed in the two connecting panels, respectively, it needs to ensure that the spacing between the two is equal to the distance the connecting rod can be stretched out, thereby the connecting rod hitching with the second body, which results in that the staff needs to accurately determine the position of the first body and the second body when installing, which requires high installation accuracy and low error tolerance.
