Fig. 1 shows an example of a side-wall to back-wall connection of two identical connection modules. The first connection module (1) comprises a first side wall (2), a rear wall (3) and a second side wall (4). The first side wall (2) and the rear wall (3) are connected with each other, the rear wall (3) and the second side wall (4) are connected with each other, so that the first side wall (2) and the second side wall (4) are parallel to each other, and the rear wall (3) is perpendicular to the first side wall (2) and the second side wall (4). The first side wall (2) and the second side wall (4) both comprise a rounded folded edge (5) folded into the wall cavity (6). In the illustrated example, the first side wall (2) of a first connection module (1) is connected to the rear wall (3 ') of another identical connection module (1'). Thus, when the plates are inserted into the two connection modules, they form a 90 degree angle.

Fig. 2 shows that the rear wall (3) of one connection module (1) is connected to the rear wall (3 ') of another identical connection module (1'). So that they form an angle of 180 degrees when the sheet material is inserted into the two connection modules.

Fig. 3 shows that the rear wall (3 ") of a third identical connection module (1") is connected to the second side wall (4 ') of a second connection module (1'). Thus, when the sheet material is inserted into the three connection modules, they form a T-shape. The side walls and the rear wall of the connection module each comprise a plurality of mounting holes (7) at equal distances. The mounting holes have many advantages. The mounting hole may effectively indicate the length of the connection module during the manufacturing process of the connection module. In addition, the alignment of the mounting holes (7) ensures that the connectors are correctly positioned when two or more connection modules are connected together.

Fig. 4 shows an example in which an additional device (8), which is a practical hook, has not been fitted to the mounting hole (7).

Fig. 5 shows a side view of an example of the attachment device (8) to the mounting hole (7). In this example, bolts (10) are used to mount the additional equipment (8). The bolt (10) is made of metal. The bolt head (11) is placed inside the wall cavity (6), the tail part of the bolt head penetrates through the mounting hole (7) to be inserted into the additional equipment (8), and then the nut (12) is screwed on to fix the bolt head. In the example, the additional device (8) is a side panel bracket. Side panels (not shown) may be placed on the side panel supports. One skilled in the art can mount other items to the connector through the mounting holes.

Fig. 6 shows the side panel bracket (8) mounted to the connector. The side plate bracket is mounted by bolts (10) and nuts (12) through mounting holes (7) (not shown).

Fig. 7 shows the placement of the sheet material (13) into the wall cavity of the first connecting module (1). The clamping groove (19) of the plate is connected with the rounded folded edge (5). In the example, a first connection module (1) is connected to a second identical connection module (1'). Said second connection module (1 ') is in turn connected to a third identical connection module (1'). Three plates form a T-shaped connection through the composite connecting piece.

Fig. 8 shows that the sheet material (13) is placed outside the wall cavity (6) of the connection module (1). The clamping groove (19) on the plate (13) is clearly visible.

As shown in fig. 9, the sheet material (13) placed in the wall cavity (6) is not in contact with either the first side wall (2) or the second side wall (4). Instead, it is in contact with the rounded fold (5) and the rear wall (3). In this configuration, the connection module (1) can be connected to sheets (13) of different thicknesses by simply being inserted into the slot.

International sheet materials typically have different thickness standards, such as 20 mm or 3/4 inches. The thickness may vary between 18 and 22 mm during the manufacturing process. Due to the elasticity of the connecting piece and the existence of the clamping groove in the plate, the folded edge can accept plates with different thicknesses. The flange can be bent about 1 mm to accommodate different sizes of panels and thickness tolerances of the panels during manufacture. In this example, the inner diameter of the wall cavity is about 26 mm and the distance between the folds is about 16 mm. If the plate is provided with the clamping grooves and the thickness of the clamping grooves is 16 mm, the wall cavities can accommodate plates 18 mm to 22 mm thick.

Figure 9 also shows the space (6) where the bolt head (11) is placed in front of the plate and the connecting piece. When the add-on device (8) is mounted, the bolt head (11) is placed in the wall cavity (6), the bolt (10) is inserted through the mounting hole (7) into the add-on device (8) and secured with the nut (12), as shown in fig. 6.

Fig. 10 shows a way of placing the plate (13) in the wall cavity (6) of the connection module (1) and another plate (17) placed below said plate (13) and also in the wall cavity (6).

Fig. 11 shows one of the connection modules (1) with two plates (13,17) placed therein. Two further connecting modules (1') and (1 ") of different heights are mounted on the first module (1), and each is fitted with a respective plate. The three different height connector modules are connected in such a special way and form a T-shaped composite connector at different heights.

Fig. 12A shows an example of a raised flower bed. A fixing device (20) is placed in the connecting element, so that the plate (13) can be held in a raised position. In the illustration, the fixing device (20) includes a bolt (26), a support block (27), and a fastening nut (28). The other end of the connecting piece, which is far away from the plate, is provided with a caster (21) through a mounting hole, so that the elevated flower bed can move freely.

Fig. 12B is an illustration of the fixing device (20), including the bolt (26), the supporting block (27), and the fastening nut (28). The bolt (26) is inserted into the mounting hole (7) (not shown, see fig. 12A), passes through the support block (27) placed in the wall cavity (6) (not shown), passes out of the mounting hole (7) (not shown, see fig. 12A) of the other side wall, and is screwed with the nut (28) to be fixed.

Fig. 13 shows a heightened flower bed, which does not need to be fixed by screws or bolts.

Fig. 14 shows the fence (28) installed in the wall cavity (6). In this example, the fence (28) is lattice-like, so additional support bars (29) need to be placed between the connectors. The additional support bars (29) have an upper and lower U-shaped profile and can be mounted on the bottom and top of the fence for fixing.
