As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment, the connection member 10 includes a first connection part 1 and a second connection part 2. The first connecting part 1 has a first assembling angle and a second assembling angle relative to the corner fitting 30, and when the first connecting part 1 is at the first assembling angle, the first connecting part 1 can extend into the accommodating cavity 4 of the corner fitting 30 from the mounting hole 3 of the corner fitting 30; when the first connecting part 1 extends into the accommodating cavity 4 of the corner fitting 30, the first connecting part 1 can rotate to a second assembling angle relative to the corner fitting 30; when the first connecting portion 1 is at the second assembling angle, if the first connecting portion 1 is still in a state of extending into the accommodating cavity 4 of the corner fitting 30, the first connecting portion 1 can move along the radial direction and the axial direction of the mounting hole 3, wherein when the first connecting portion 1 moves along the axial direction of the mounting hole 3 of the corner fitting 30, the first connecting portion 1 can abut against the side wall of the accommodating cavity 4, so that the first connecting portion 1 is prevented from completely moving out of the accommodating cavity 4. At least two connecting holes 5 are formed in the connecting plate 20, when the first connecting portion 1 is located at the second assembling angle, the first connecting portion 1 can penetrate through the connecting holes 5 to be matched with the second connecting portion 2, so that the connecting plate 20 and the corner fitting 30 are locked together, and adjacent containers 200 are locked together.

In the above embodiment, when the mounting hole 3 is a circular hole, the radial direction of the mounting hole 3 is the diameter direction of the mounting hole 3; when the mounting hole 3 has a square hole, a rectangular hole, or the like, the radial direction of the mounting hole 3 is a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting hole 3. In addition, the first connecting portion 1 moves outward along the axial direction of the mounting hole 3, which means that the first connecting portion 1 moves outward of the corner piece 30 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 3, and the receiving cavity 4 is located inside the corner piece 30.

In practical use, when the adjacent containers 200 are not aligned, the first connecting portions 1 can be moved away from or close to the corresponding containers 200 by adjusting the radial movement of the first connecting portions 1 along the mounting holes 3 to compensate for the error generated when the containers 200 are aligned, so that each first connecting portion 1 extending into the corner fitting 30 of the adjacent container 200 can pass through the corresponding connecting hole 5 on the connecting plate 20, and then the second connecting portion 2 is matched with the first connecting portion 1 passing through the connecting plate 20. That is, in the present embodiment, the first connecting portion 1 is equivalent to a connection point which is movable from the corner fitting 30 with a fixed position, so that the corner fitting 30 of each adjacent container 200 can be connected with the connecting plate 20 and the second connecting portion 2 through the connection point.

At this point, the connecting plate 20 may be mated with two connectors 10 to achieve a locking and securing of two containers 200 together.

It is understood that the corresponding arrangement in the above embodiments may be replaced by other manners, such as:

in other embodiments, the container 200 may also be other containers and cabinets, and after the containers and cabinets are placed, the containers and cabinets may be connected and fixed by using the connecting member 200. In addition, the corner fittings 30 can be independent components outside the boxes and cabinets, and in this case, the corner fittings 30 can be fixedly connected to one corner of the boxes and cabinets; of course, the corner members 30 may be a portion of the area on the boxes and cabinets, which may be at the corners of the boxes and cabinets.

In other embodiments, the second connecting portion 2 may pass through the connecting plate 20 from the connecting hole 5 and then cooperate with the first connecting portion 1 to lock the connecting plate 20 and the corner fitting 30 together.

In other embodiments, the first connection portion 1 and the second connection portion 2 may be non-detachably connected together by welding or the like.

In other embodiments, the number of the connecting members 10 may also be smaller than the number of the connecting holes 5 on the connecting plate 20, so that the corresponding connecting holes 5 may be used according to actual conditions, thereby improving the adaptability of the connecting assembly 100. For example, the number of the connecting holes 5 may be five, and when the number of the stacked containers 200 is 3, the connecting plate 20 may be matched with three connecting members 10 to realize the locking and fixing of the three stacked containers 200. At this time, three connecting members 10 may be selectively passed through three of the five connecting holes 5, respectively, according to the actual position of the container 200.

In other embodiments, the number of the connecting members 10 may be greater than the number of the connecting holes 5 of the connecting plate 20. In practical use, two or more than two connecting pieces 10 can also be arranged at one connecting hole 5 in a penetrating manner, when in use, the first connecting parts 1 of the connecting pieces 10 can extend into the accommodating cavities 4 of the corner pieces 30 from the same mounting hole 3, and then the first connecting parts 1 of the connecting pieces 10 penetrate through the connecting plates 20 from the same connecting hole 5 and then are matched with the corresponding second connecting parts 2 so as to lock the corner pieces 30 and the connecting plates 20 together.

The connecting column 11 can be inserted into the connecting hole 5 from the end of the first plate 7 away from the second plate 8, which can facilitate the fitting of the connecting element 10 with the connecting plate 20, wherein the radial extending directions of the connecting holes 5 can be parallel to each other.
