Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which are a perspective view of the appearance of the structural unit according to the present invention and a perspective view of the appearance from another perspective. It shows a structural unit. In Figure 1, the upper end is the first end surface, the lower end surface and the second end surface. The four side surfaces that extend between the first end surface and the second end surface and are connected in sequence are the first side surface and the second side surface. Side, third side and fourth side. That is to say, the structural unit of the present invention is basically a square, such as a cuboid or a cube.

A plug 21 is provided on the first end surface, which is basically located at the center of the first end surface, and is a circular boss. A plurality of convex bars 22 are horizontally arranged on the opposite side of the circumferential surface of the circular boss; The end surface is provided with a receiving portion 23 whose shape and position correspond to the plug 21, allowing the plug 21 of another structural unit to be accessed and clamped. The protruding strip 22 and the corresponding receiving portion 23 can have one layer, two layers, multiple layers, and two sides, three sides, and multiple sides, etc. The style can be threaded, simple convex, or various methods.

In this embodiment, T-shaped convex strips 11 are provided on the first side surface and the second side surface, and push grooves 13 corresponding to the shape of the T-shaped convex strips 11 are provided on the third side surface and the fourth side surface. In other embodiments, only one of the first side surface and the second side surface has the T-shaped protrusion 11, and correspondingly, only one of the third side surface and the fourth side surface has the push groove 13. Of course, in terms of the applicability of building blocks, the solution shown in Figure 1 is better.

As shown in Figure 2, the receiving part 23 is a receiving hole, but the orifice is not a regular circle, but has a long diameter and a short diameter, where the long diameter is between the two entry parts 231 shown in the figure. For the maximum distance, a plurality of shallow grooves 232 are provided on the side wall between the two entry parts, and the shallow grooves 232 are adapted to the convex strip 22. After the joint of the other unit is inserted into the receiving portion 23 and rotated at a certain angle, the convex strip 22 is clamped in the shallow groove 232, which requires an over-tight fit between the components.

In FIG. 1, the bottom surface of the push groove 13 is provided with a micro groove 14, and the top surface of the T-shaped convex strip 11 is provided with a micro protrusion 12 at a corresponding position. When the convex strip 22 of one unit is pushed into the pushing groove 13 of another unit, the micro protrusion 12 is fitted in the micro groove 14. There is a certain friction between the micro grooves 14 and the micro protrusions 12, which can limit the relative movement between the units after assembly, thereby enhancing the strength of the assembled product. As a further improvement, corresponding to the position of the micro-protrusion 12 in the T-shaped protruding strip 11, a stopper protrusion 15 is provided on the two side walls of the micro-groove 14 respectively. They are in a staggered position and can be The micro protrusion 12 is stuck in the middle. In this way, the fixing fastness before the structural unit is further improved. The micro protrusion 12 and the stopping protrusion 15 can be round, square, ellipse, trapezoid, various shapes, and so on.

Figures 3 to 5 show a schematic diagram of a connector, a schematic diagram of a main body, and a bottom view of the main body of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 together, in this embodiment, the structural unit is a split structure composed of a main body 1 and a connector 2. The body 1 has the aforementioned first side surface, second side surface, third side surface and fourth side surface, with T-shaped protruding strips 11 or push grooves 13 provided on the top. The first end surface of the body 1 also has an opening 16. The main body of the connecting member 2 is a cylindrical member 24, the plug 21 is located at the upper end of the cylindrical member 24, and the receiving portion 23 is located at the lower part of the cylindrical member 24. The connecting member 2 passes through the body 1 from the first end surface of the body 1, and is connected to the body 1 1 Snap connection, after buckling, the plug 21 passes through the opening 16 and protrudes from the first end surface. The effect after assembly is the effect shown in Figure 1.

As shown in Fig. 3, the outer diameter of the lowermost ridge 22 of the plurality of ridges 22 is slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 16 of the body 1, so that when the structure is assembled, the joint 21 of the connector 2 is pushed After the opening 16 is pushed out, the connector is stuck on the opening 16 and will not easily fall off. It is also possible to simply insert the feature 22 of the connector 2 through the opening 16 and insert it with a pin so that it cannot fall off.

The lower part of the connecting piece 2 includes a bottom plate 28, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the main body 1. After installation, the bottom plate 28 is just received at the lower end of the four walls of the main body 1. See FIG. 2 for the effect diagram. As a preferred way, a buckle structure can be provided at a corresponding position at the lower end of the main body 1 to allow the bottom plate 28 to be clamped in the main body 1.

As an optimized design, the outer wall of the cylindrical member 24 has reinforcing ribs 25, a corresponding support plate 17 is provided in the body 1, and the corresponding position of the support plate 17 is provided with a slot 171 (Figure 5). The arrangement of the support plate 17 in the body 1 allows The connecting piece 2 is inserted into the main body 1, and after insertion, the reinforcing rib 25 is stuck in the slot 171. The function of the reinforcing rib 25 can not only limit the rotation of the connecting member 2 in the main body 1, but more importantly, it can withstand the strong pressure from all sides of the structure, for example, when the structure is a chair, a table or a load-bearing frame. More preferably, there are four reinforcing ribs 25 and four supporting plates 17 respectively.

In other embodiments, the connection between the connector 2 and the main body 1 can be realized in such a way that the lower outer side of the connector 2 has a first clamping portion 27, and the corresponding position of the main body 1 has a second clamping portion, which is connected to the first card. The connection part 27 cooperates to realize the snap connection. The first clamping portion 27 is a protrusion, the second clamping portion is a clamping slot 171, or the first clamping portion is a clamping slot 171, and the second receiving portion is a convex structure.

Compared with the integral structure, the split structure of this embodiment has the advantage of avoiding the solid structure of the structural unit, greatly reducing the amount of material used, and making the industrial production of the hollow structural unit easier to realize.

The material of the structural unit of the present invention can be wood, plastic, polymer resin material. These materials usually have certain deformation properties, so that the assembly of the structural units is not too laborious.

The structural unit of the present invention can be assembled into various structural parts, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. Other examples are tatami 3, shoe cabinet 4 and chair 5. There can even be pet shelters, tatami mats, shoe cabinets, bookshelves, workshop shelves, car shelves, etc. The scope of use depends only on the imagination of users .
