Description

A7

The present invention relates to a connection assembly capable of being automatically locked and released for connecting two components 'at least one of which has a hole which can be locked rearward for two-knife introduction into the connection assembly' and is preferably a marine cargo photograph. Corner attachment. Marine containers are transported on the ship in many overlapping layers. Therefore, the goods do not slip when there are waves, they must be reliably fixed together. Therefore, the connection assembly which prevents the container from sliding laterally and prevents the containers from being loosened from each other in the upward direction is installed into the hollow corner attachment of the container. This type of connection assembly is designed to have to be manually released to unload the container, such as a procedure 'so that the hammer head that extends through all the holes into the side corner attachments' is such that the hammer head is no longer cutting It rotates in a locked manner behind the hole, and it releases the container and removes the container by the crane in an upward direction. When containers are stacked up and down by up to ten layers, the manual loosening of the connection assembly is not only difficult and labor-intensive ', but also dangerous, because it must be operated on the ship deck, on a high ladder, between closely stacked containers. DE 43 07 781 C2 proposes a container coupling for solving the above-mentioned problem. The container coupler has a shell, which is provided with a through hole, and contains a plurality of shell parts, in which a locking pin is rotatably supported by the hole through the shell, and a lateral locking member is formed on the outside of the shell. The asymmetrical configuration is arranged at the end of the locking pin, which can be alternately moved to a locked position and an unlocked position of a corner attachment of a container. The locking pin is rotatably mounted on a ball that can be moved at an inclined position on the path of the shell portion. This way, when the ship is in a horizontally inclined position, the locking pin adopts a locking position. At this position, it locks the two corner attachments backward to make each other up and down. -5- I paper size is suitable for the country ’s standard (CNS) A4 size (210X297). ------ Stacked containers are fixed Together, and when the ship owner W r second call lock pin is in the unlocked position 'in this position i, it releases the containers from each other for their removal. A special feature of this known coupler is that the locking pin must be extremely strong and stable, and is subject to many loads during its installation. It must be highly flexible, such as "swing or pitch and pitch motion, even if this This kind of movement is slow, because without this configuration, there is no guarantee that the containers will actually be held together. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a connection assembly that automatically locks and releases, which can be used in various aspects, and it does not involve the above problems. This objective is achieved by many features of the main patent application scope. In the assembly according to the invention, not only the locking assembly is moved to the locked position by gravity or the force of its inertia, but it is also moved by the support assembly, its reuse is moved towards each other and the rows are connected to, for example, The components of the sea container are moved with high force. This ensures that the assembly reliably connects the components together. In addition, the locking assembly does not move every time the connecting assembly moves out of a vertical position, such as when the boat is swaying left or right, or pitching and rolling. This has a beneficial effect on long-term operational reliability. The locking device is formed by its own assembly, which can be used to reliably prevent the locking assembly from moving out of the locked position. This also increases the operational reliability of the connection assembly. In this respect, the locking device can be practically closed with respect to the outside, it is not subject to the load of the south force, it can be a suitably sensitive design configuration, and it can respond to Different external effects are locked. The appended patent application scope is a favorable embodiment and development of the connection assembly according to the present invention, and its various advantages will be apparent from the description below. For at least one of the two components that has a hole that can be locked backwards, the paper size is suitable for domestic use (CNS) A4 specification (21GX297 public love) _ 523484 A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (3 only by moving to each other Can be automatically connected to each other and can be released from each other without involving the manual control of the connecting assembly, the present invention can be used 'of which only meets the predetermined in terms of the position and / or movement of at least one of the components This kind of loosening is only possible under certain conditions.

The hammer head 6 is rotatable, and by its flange 22, it is in a locked relationship, and it is contained in the upper cavity 20 in a way that will not cause errors. A torsion spring 24 biases the hammer head 6 to a predetermined locked position. The handle 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is raised and a protrusion (not shown) enters a through passage 26, and is connected to the flange 22, for example, by a Bowden cable (not shown). The hammer head 6 is rotated to a release position against the biasing force of the torsion spring 24, and when the handle 10 is released, it returns from this position to its lock position. Li Ru further understands from Figures 3 and 4 that in the illustrated structure, one in the lower casing shell 16 corresponds to the through-hole opening 8 in the upper casing portion 丨 2 and the through-hole 30 in the upper casing portion. Its properties are: As a result, when the shell is assembled, the two openings 12 and 30 are not aligned with each other, but are arranged in mirror symmetry with respect to the center of the shell. Figure 5a shows a vertical section along the plane 5 ^ 5 & through the lower cover shell part in Figure 3, and Figure 5b shows a vertical section through the upper cover shell wound 18 along the flat 5b_5b in Figure 4. It can be seen from the figure that the openings 2 and 3 0 are provided on the phase line Π South. In addition, Figs. 5a and 5b show that the hole 31 is provided on the casing part of the housing for receiving the screws 1 1 (Fig. 1). Fig. 7 is In the perspective view of the entire connection assembly, the through openings 12 of the illustrated assembly do not appear to be circular in FIG. 4 but have a generally rectangular configuration. FIG. 6 shows the three components of an assembly, which are Housed in the inner space 2 1 of the housing 2 a bridge-shaped expansion module 32 has a horizontal limb portion 34, and the two expansion portions extend from it and rotate 180 ° with each other, and each has an inclined surface 38, and another 40 ^ raised protrusions ^ a plunger-like or pin-like branch

523484 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (7) The seat assembly 8 (Fig. 1) protrudes downward from the limbs 34. An associated locking slider 13 (Fig. 1) (only one of which is exemplified) cooperates with the inclined surface 38 of each expansion part. The locking slider has an inclined surface 46 and a guide protrusion 48. This configuration also includes a locking device 50 having a housing 52-band 54 mounted on one of the rollers (Fig. 11) around which it is wound. The rotation of the roller can be locked by a locking mechanism (not shown in Fig. 6). The illustrated components are combined to form a complete connection assembly such as ^ First, a hammer head 6 having a spring 24 mounted on it is set in the cavity 20 of the lower casing portion 16 and is connected by a connection member (not shown). The handle 10 is mounted to the flange 2 2. Then, in a manner that causes the support assembly g to protrude downward through a hole or opening $ 6 into the lower casing portion 16 (see Figs. 3 and 4), install the expansion assembly 32 into the lower casing. Portion 16. In this case, a compression spring 5 6 (Fig. 8) which can be actuated between the limb portion 34 and the lower casing portion 16 or the subsequent casing is inserted. Then, one of the locking sliders 13 is fitted to the lower case portion 16 in such a manner as to cause it to protrude into the opening 30. In this case, a pressure spring 59 (FIG. 8) which is movable between the guide projection 48 on the lock slider 13 and the lower case portion i 6 is inserted. In addition, the housing 5 2 of the locking device 50 is, for example, inserted into a suitable opening (not shown) in the lower housing part 6 so that it is fixedly received therein, and the band 54 is fixed to the limb 34 at 58 (See Figure 6). Then insert another locking slider into the through-opening 12 of the upper casing portion 18, and an additional pressure spring 59 (not shown) is disposed on the guide protrusion and the upper casing portion of the locking slider. Between 18. Then install the upper casing part 18 to the lower casing part 16 and fix the casing 2% by screws u -11- ^ 23484

Closure is complete. In a way to cause the lock-out slider 12 to move to the internal space 2i under the action of a pressure spring associated with the slider, the pressure springs and the forces of% are matched to each other, and in doing so, the expansion assembly 32 is driven to Then, the compression spring 56 is further compressed until the expansion module 32 leans against the bottom of the housing. The dimensions of the module are such that the extension module 32 is moved to its lowest possible position, and at this position, the support module 8 projects downward from the housing 2 As far as possible, the extension slider 13 does not laugh beyond the openings 12 and 30. This condition of the connection assembly is shown in FIG. 8, in which the lock slider 13 is in the maximum inward position, and Lean against the inclined surface 38 'and do not protrude from the housing 2. Figure 8 shows a magnet 60 mounted to the lower end face of the support assembly 8. All movable components are reliably guided on the housing 2 by appropriate guide surfaces. The following describes the operation mode of the connection assembly: The handle 10 is used to rotate the hammer head 90 from its locked position shown in FIG. 8 to a release position. Then the hammer head can be introduced into the corner attachment 64, Pass one at the bottom of the corner attachment 6 4 Cut the hole 6 6 until the flange 4 rests on the bottom surface of the corner attachment 64. In this condition, the end portion 3 of the housing 2 protrudes into the cut hole 'and prevents the housing 2 from rotating. Then release the handle 1 〇, so the hammer The head 6 rotates under the force of the torsion spring 24 to its locked position as shown in FIG. 8, where it locks the cutout 66 backwards and locks the connection assembly to the corner attachment 64, or lock Close to an associated container. If the container or corner attachment 64 is now moved, for example, by a crane, from the top to the bottom or a corner attachment 6 8 above the reading cabinet, the casing 2 can be moved through the cutout of the corner attachment 68 70 enters the corner attachment 68. _____ of the upper container -12- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 public love) V. Description of the invention (9) During the movement or downward movement, The support assembly 8 rests on the bottom of the corner attachment 6 8 = 72. Under the further downward movement of the peripheral 2 foot, the support assembly 8 is pushed into the housing 2 and thus the expansion assembly 32 is displaced upward relative to the housing, In this case, the band 54 is rolled up inside the casing 52, so that it remains taut. When its top side leans against the upper edges of the openings 12 and 3, it cannot follow the upward movement. By the contact between the inclined surfaces 38, 46, the locking slider 13 is driven outward by the force of the pressure spring 59. The stop position within 8 passes through the openings 12 and 30, until finally it moves into the locking position as shown in Figure $. In this position, its protrusion disengages from the housing 2 and locks the knife hole 70 at the rear. In the position not shown in Fig. 9, the flange 4 rests on the lower corner attachment 68, so that the upper corner attachment 64 or the container is docked by the lower corner attachment 68 or the container's flange 4. Fig. 10 is about a vertical axis Turn ㈣. The view shows the configuration shown in Figure 9. Between the containers standing up and down each other, it is impossible to shift laterally because the housing 2 and the respective cutouts 66 and 70 are firmly locked. When the #cabinet is mounted on the ship, the locking device 5 also provides a kind of safety protection to prevent the corner accessories and cargo containers from disengaging from each other in the vertical direction. Intended as an example, Figure U shows the structure of the locking device 50. A roller 76 is mounted on the outer casing 52, and is biased in the winding direction by a torsion spring (not shown), and the belt 54 is wound thereon. The roller 76 has a disc 78 transversely, and has a tooth arrangement 80 on its periphery. In addition to the tooth arrangement, a locking pin 82 is movably supported on the housing. The locking pin 82 is pivotably connected to a tie rod 84, and it is pivotally connected to a tie rod 86 mounted on the housing 52. Yixuan-13- The paper size is suitable for financial standards (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public love) 523484 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention 88 The inertial mass 88 of the springs 92 and 94 is installed between the levers 84 and 86 Junction. The downward mobility of the inertial mass 88 is limited by a seat 96. The operation mode of the illustrated arrangement is as follows: The bias rollers 76 are installed to produce a clockwise turning motion, thereby constantly tightening the belt 54. The roller 76 is normally rotatable, so using the "clockwise rotation of the roller" can increase the distance between the expansion assembly 32 and the housing 52. If the reduction force due to gravity is configured, such as when the ship is trapped downward in a trough Under the circumstances, the inertial mass 8 8 moves out of the equilibrium position upward under the influence of the springs 9 2 and 9 4, so that the angle between the tie rods 84 and 86 increases, and the locking pin 82 moves to the left, so it locks to the tooth configuration 80, and block the rotary movement of the roller in the direction of increasing length of the belt 54. Using normal force due to gravity or using increased force due to gravity, the roller 74 can rotate freely again. Order included in the connection assembly, lock The function of the device 50 is as follows: Please refer to FIG. 8 for the line. Assume that the upper corner attachment 64 or the upper container attempts to move upward to leave the lower corner attachment 68 'for example when the ship sinks into a trough downward. The inertial mass 88 is then used to reduce the force due to gravity. Under the influence 'thus blocking the increase in the length of the band 54. If the connecting assembly rises due to the clearance between the locking slider Η and the inner top side of the corner attachment 68, the band 54 with the expansion assembly 62 upwards, overcomes the adhesive force between the magnet 60 and the bottom of the corner attachment 'so the lock_13 is maintained at the illustrated position, and the loosening of the connection assembly from the lower corner attachment 68 is blocked. The container is therefore reliable Together, even if the ship is doing significant movement. But if, for example, a crane lifts the upper corner attachments or their containers,

V. Description of the invention (Due to the reduction of gravity, the force acts on the inertial mass 8 8, which allows the length of the belt 5 4 to increase, and when the connection assembly is lifted, the support assembly 8 maintains contact due to the adhesive force of the magnet. Abuts the bottom 7 2, thereby displacing the expansion assembly 3 2 downward with respect to the housing 2. In this case, the locking slider 3 is displaced inwardly under the influence of the pressure spring 59, and takes one shown in FIG. 7. Position, in this position, it allows the removal of the connection assembly from the corner attachment 68. When the extension assembly 32 is at the lower end of the outer condyle 2, the support assembly 8 is released from the bottom 72. When the housing 2 is raised, The magnet 6 〇 provides the support assembly 8 first to keep close to the bottom of the corner attachment 6 8 7 2 so as to ensure that the expansion assembly 3 2 moves downward relative to the housing 2 and locks the slider 13 back to release inside Please note that the dimensions of the individual components and the inclined surfaces 38 and 46 used to extend the locking slider 13 away from each other are such that the distance a between the top side of the locking slider 13 and the corner attachment 6 (Fig. 9) Match each other as small as possible. The distance a is subject to When the assembly is introduced, the locking slider 13 can be moved from the housing 2 to the position of the rearward locking locking hole 70, only when it is inside the corner attachment 68 and the support assembly 8, because it leans on the corner The bottom 72 of the accessory "is controlled by the fact that the expansion assembly is moved upwards when the housing 2 moves further downwards, so that the locking slider is moved outwards. Figures 12 and 13 show an embodiment of the connection assembly in its Unlocked and locked positions, the reference figure only indicates the parts needed to explain the differences about the above embodiments. On its top side, the locking slider 3 is provided with an inclined surface M, which is more than that described by Xianli The embodiment is enlarged. In a corresponding way, the openings 12 and 30 cannot make it often guide the locking slider on its top and bottom surface. Since the bottom surface of the locking slider is guided on the bottom surface of the opening, and top-ordered Line-15-

Description of the invention 2 guides (not shown) are guided on the side of the housing, this fact guarantees that the guides for locking the sliders 1 3 are often thoughtful ', these guides correspond to the projections 40. The operation mode of this embodiment is as follows: When binding on the peripheral device 2 to the lower corner attachment 6 8, the lock slider 1 3 is completely arranged in the casing 2 ′ and the inclined surfaces 9 8 are at a distance from each other. 1 2 Or 3 〇 distance between the upper edges. When the support assembly 8 leans against the bottom 72 of the corner attachment 6 8 (approximately the position shown in FIG. 12), the expansion assembly 62 is lifted and when the housing 2 is further moved down into the lower corner attachment, Move the locking slider 13 outwards until it is fully lowered in the outer shell 2 (the flange 4 rests on the lower corner attachment 68) and move it outward, so that it is between the upper edges of the openings 12 and 30, respectively. The initial spacing is at least approximately closed. As can be seen from FIG. 13, compared with the embodiment described above, there is only a small gap between the inclined surface 98 and the edge of the cut hole 70, so that the upper corner attachment 6 4 (the lower corner of the upper container Attachment) can only be lifted slightly from the lower corner attachment 68 (the upper corner attachment of the lower container). When there are huge waves, when the container also maintains a nearly clearance-free relationship in the vertical direction, this small clearance is extremely advantageous. Lines 14 and 15 correspond to the views of FIGS. 12 and 13 and show another embodiment of the connection assembly. In this embodiment, on its top and bottom sides, the locking slider 13 has inclined surfaces 100 and 10, which are parallel to each other, and the openings 12 and 30 are formed in a manner corresponding thereto. The inclined surfaces 100, 102 are oriented outward and inclined upwards. The configuration of the inclined surface 100, 102, and the corresponding configuration of the openings 2 and 30 and the expansion module 32 or its inclined surface provides the following: The connection assembly with the housing 2 is lowered to the corner attachment 68 When causing the support assembly 8 to be at the bottom 7 2 (Figure 1 4), the lock slider 丨 3 tilts outward and toward

In this case, the embodiment of the charm M Ming connection assembly is compared The distance between the top side of the slider 13 and the upper wall of the corner attachment 68 is strong. Ding Jizhi 'is beneficial to maintain a small distance so that when the casing 2 is lifted under the restoring force of the pressure = elastic pad 59 ， The locking slider Η can be moved into the outside. As shown in the broken line in Figure 14 during the vertical movement of the expansion module, the ^ slider can be used to tilt the locking slider to move outward and tilt downward to expand the expansion module. Take the guide or inclined surface of the locking slider 13, and furthermore, it is not illustrated in detail in Figures 14 and 15. Figures 16 and 17 show tf of the connection assembly. Another embodiment is in the unlocked and locked state: in In this embodiment, the locking slider 13 has a recess 103 on its top side. In addition, the cam or protrusion Shao 104 is provided on the inclined surface 38 < outer end portion of the expansion module 32, and / or in cooperation with the locking The position of the slider 丨 3. The 1¾ design configuration is provided as follows: outward movement near the locking slider 13 At the end, it is slightly lifted by the raised raised portion 104. This lifting movement is possible because of the recess 103, which allows the locking slider 3 to be raised relative to its openings 12 and 30, respectively. This embodiment therefore also provides a reduction in the distance between the top side of the locking slider 13 and the inside of the corner attachment 68 when the locking slider is lifted at least part of its stroke movement. When the housing 2 and the locking slider丨 3 and hammer head 6 are mechanically under high load, they preferably include forged steel or high-grade cast iron. Expansion component 32 is also beneficial to include this material.

Description of invention (M) Heart protection to prevent water or dirt from entering. Binding the invention It can be modified in many different ways. For example, the locking device 50 may further include a mechanism that blocks the rotatability of the roller in the direction of the unwinding belt 54 when a predetermined speed is exceeded. Therefore, in the event that the hammer head 6 moves up quickly Lift up to block the connection assembly from The releasability of the lower corner attachment 68. These swivel blocking arrangements are known per se and will not be described further here. Only one locking slider or more than two locking sliders can be provided. The rotation mechanism for the hammer head is omitted because the connection assembly can be directly inserted into the corner attachment with the hammer head and then rotated, so the head of the hammer head locks the cutting hole backward. The hammer head can form a single piece with the housing. The flange can be omitted, so the corner attachment below the container can be directly leaned against the corner attachment above the container disposed below it. As long as the basic idea of the present invention is implemented, that is, in some cases, it is only lifted from the corner attachment 68. The hammer head 6 can be used to remove the connection assembly, and to prevent such removal when applied in different conditions. There is a considerable degree of freedom in the structural configuration of individual components. FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a modified embodiment of the locking device 110 in a state where it is fixed to the expansion unit 32 (see, for example, FIG. 6). The foot locking device 110 has a lock-out housing 115 ', which is composed of two housing halves: 114 and 114. The shell halves 112 and 114 are mirror-symmetrical with respect to each other and are screwed together by screws (not shown) through the holes 116. A plunger 118 is housed in the locking foot housing 115, which protrudes from the locking housing 115 with a handle 120, and is screwed to the limbs 34 of the extension assembly 32. The plunger 11 8 (FIG. 19) has a head 122 having four arms 124, which are respectively displaced by 90 relative to each other in the peripheral direction of the plunger n 8. . Each arm has a transverse penetration -18- 523484 A7 B7 V. Inventory (126) cut holes 126, wherein the cut holes extend from a central portion 128 disposed above the handle 120, and extend obliquely upward in an outward direction, Therefore, the overall configuration provides a concave bottom surface 130 and a corresponding concave top surface 132. The inclination angle of the cut hole 126 to the horizontal is, for example, about four degrees. The height of the cut hole 126 and the width of the arm 124 are such that a ball 134 is inserted into the cut hole with a play, and the ball protrudes laterally beyond the cut hole or arm. The housing halves 112 and 114 are provided with recesses in such a manner that a cavity 136 is formed in the locking housing 115 for receiving the plunger 118, and its horizontal section (FIG. 23) approximately corresponds to a plan view of the head 122 of the plunger 118, And in a vertical section (FIG. 22) corresponding to the side view of the plunger 118, the vertical dimension of the cavity 136 is larger than the arm 124. The wall of the cavity 136 is provided with a groove 138 in a manner to cause the cutout 126 of the plunger 118 to extend laterally in a predetermined installation position of the plunger 118 in the housing 112, 114 In the assembled state, the plunger is accommodated therein, and the ball 134 protrudes laterally into the groove 138 in such a manner as to block the vertical relative movement between the plunger and the housing. This blocking effect is removed only when the ball 134 is in the middle of the plunger 118, that is, the bottom of the concave base surface 130. In this state, the ball 134 held on the plunger 1 18 can be locked into an opening 140 facing downward like a cut hole, thereby moving vertically with respect to the lock housing 115, where the opening groove 138 terminates at its intersection. The function of the locking device 110 basically corresponds to the function of the locking device 50 as explained above. The locking housing 115 is like the housing 52 of the locking device 50 and is firmly held to the housing 2 of the connection assembly at least in a vertical direction. For example, the plunger 118 is screwed to the limb portion 3 4 of the expansion unit 3 2 by screwing at the end portion. The handle 120 is enclosed in a place where it penetrates into the lock housing 115. -19- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 523484

120 "wave tube 142 (Fig. 20) and the flange 144 of the locking housing 115 are closed. When the j plunger 118 is oriented vertically, the ball 134 is at the central portion 134, and thus vertical relative movement between the column base 1 1 8 and the lock housing 115 is possible. The position of the groove is such that when the condition shown in FIG. 9 is reached, the groove is aligned with the center of the cut hole 126, which is also about to be connected at the two corners of the accessories 64 and 68 by connecting the assembly and With the flange “solid connection, if the vertical orientation in FIG. 9 is maintained with each other, the locking housing 115 is also moved in the upper corner of the attachment 64 with the housing 2 of the entire connection assembly. In this case, 'allowed in The relative movement between the plunger 118 and the lock housing 115, so that the expansion assembly 32 held by the cliff assembly 8 moves downward relative to the housing 2, and in doing so, the lock slider 13 can move inward, so The connecting assembly can be removed from the lower corner attachment 68. If the thread is tilted from the position shown in Fig. 9 about a horizontal axis, the ball 134 moves into the cutting hole 126 and the associated groove 138 depending on the tilting axis of movement. In other words, the movement is easier due to the rounded transition portion 144 (Fig. 2 3). Once the ball 134 is cut in the hole by 1%, the relative mobility between the plunger and the lock pin is 115. Is blocked, so, in the upper corner attachment 64 During the lifting movement, the support assembly 8 is released from the bottom of the lower corner attachment and the movement of the lock slider 13 is impossible, so the corner attachments 6 4 and 68 remain firmly connected together. The foot locking device 11 illustrated The configuration can be modified in many different ways. For example, the plunger 118 can be formed with three or different numbers of arms. It is not necessarily necessary to provide the recess 14 in the locking housing 115, so that the plunger 118 and the lock can be provided outside.

523484 A7 B7 V. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Π) Further relative movement between the shells 115 is possible. The center 122 of the plunger 118 (Fig. 24) can be formed upward at the center by using a central convex portion 146 instead of the opening 140, where the intersections of the cutting holes 126 continue upward, and these cutting holes are formed in the form of elongated holes. The vertical cut hole 148, the ball 134 held in the groove 138 can be locked into the locking housing 115 when it moves upward, and in this way, the plunger and the locking housing can move relative to each other. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the connection assembly according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. Because the reference drawing numbers used are used here, they are used for components and units that have the same or similar functions as the units or components described above, so these aspects will not be explained again. Unlike the connection assembly shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the plunger-free seat assembly 8 projects from the bottom surface of the housing 2 of this embodiment. The outer shell is again in the form of two sets of shell parts. In contrast, the support assembly 8 of this embodiment is in the form of a support rod 150, and is mounted on a latch 152 fixed to the housing in such a manner that the support surface 154 of the support rod 150 projects downward from the bottom surface of the flange 4. The support rod 150 has an inclined surface for abutting against the corresponding inclined surface of the sliding member 156 slidably guided in the housing 2. A spring 158 is disposed between the housing 2 and the sliding member 156, which drives the sliding member 156 to the left in FIG. The sliding member, which is roughly Z-shaped in the side view and shown in the perspective view in FIG. 29, has two transverse arms 159 with holes 160, and the downwardly protruding clip pins or protrusions 162 are fixed therein. The limb of the sliding member 156 away from the support rod 150 has a contact surface 164 provided with a recess 166, the function of which will be described in more detail below. The locking assembly 170 can be pivoted and slidable by the bolt 168 fixed to the housing. -21- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 523484 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (18) Mounted to the housing 2 where the latch 168 extends through a cutout 172 (FIG. 28) in the locking assembly 170. The height of the locking assembly 170 matches the height of the corresponding openings 174 on the side of the casing 2 (Fig. 25), and the openings face each other in opposite directions. A locking device, which is generally indicated by reference numeral 182 and is described with reference to Figs. 31 and 32, is a locking device 180 which is firmly received in one of the openings in the housing 2. As shown in Figs. The locking housing 180 includes an upper portion 184 and a lower portion 186, and a plunger 188 is slidably guided on the upper and lower portions. The plunger 188 has a handle 190 and a head 192. The top side of the head 192 forms a concave surface. When the plunger 188 is in a vertical position, a ball 196 forming an inertial body automatically moves to the center on the concave surface. The inner side 198 facing the upper part 1 8 4 of the plunger has a convex configuration corresponding to the concave surface 194, and has a recess 200 in the center thereof. A spring 202 is disposed between the plunger 188 and the upper portion 184. In the assembled state of the locking device 18, wherein the upper portion 18 4 and the lower portion 18 6 are firmly connected together, for example, by screwing, adhering, or otherwise, and wherein the handle 190 projects downward from the housing 180 The distance between the concave surface 194 and the inner side 198 approximately corresponds to the diameter of the ball 196, so when a lateral acceleration acts on the locking device 182, or when the locking device is tilted out of vertical, the ball can move in the intermediate space between the concave surface 194 and the inner side 198 . In this case, the upward movement of the plunger 188 is blocked. However, if the ball 196 is arranged at the center or the middle of the concave surface 194, the plunger 188 can be driven upward by the force of the spring 202, and the ball 196 moves into the recess 200. The locking device exemplified can be used for a wide variety of purposes, so the lock-22- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 523484 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (19) The device itself applies for patent protection. The illustrated connection assembly is assembled as follows: The support rod 150 is mounted to one of the shell parts by the bolt 152. Install the locking device into the corresponding opening in the casing part. The sliding member 156 with the spring 158 is also inserted into the positioning, and the entrainment latch or protrusion 162 locks into the cut-out hole 172 of the inserted locking assembly 170. Put the casing parts together and screw them together with screws 1 1. The latch 168 for mounting the locking assembly 170 is inserted into the housing through an appropriate opening from below, so that the latch passes through the cutout 172 in the inserted locking assembly 170. In the released condition, the sliding member 156 is shifted to the left in FIG. 27 by the spring 158 to the extent that the support rod 150 is tilted in the clockwise direction and leans against the support of the housing. Then, as shown in FIG. 30, the lock assembly 170 is in a state where it is pivoted inward as shown in FIG. 30, because its outer surface extends flush with the contour of the housing 2, so the lock assembly 170 does not Raised from the shell. The contact surface 164 of the sliding member 156 displaces the plunger 188 upward, so that the ball 196 is inside the recess 200. When the housing 2 of the connection assembly is introduced in this condition to a cut hole in the corner attachment (see Figures 8 and 9), the support rod 150 leans against the top side of the corner attachment, as shown in Figure 2 7 As shown, pivot in counterclockwise direction. The sliding member 156 is moved to the right in this manner, so that the locking assembly 170 pivots outward from the housing 2 and locks the edge of the cutout backward, in a similar manner to the locking slider 13 of the embodiment discussed above, The two corner attachments are thus firmly connected together, as in the case of the above embodiment. When the sliding member 156 is shifted to the right as shown in FIG. 27, the recess 166 is further advanced from the exemplified middle position _-23-_ This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 523484 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (20) Move to the right step, so the handle 190 completely penetrates into the recess, and the depth of the recess is such that the plunger 188 is brought to its lowest position, and in this position, the ball 196 can move out of the concave 194 to block upward movement of plunger 188. When the locking device 182 tilts out of the vertical position, or when an acceleration force involving a lateral action is involved, the upward movement of the plunger 188 is blocked, so that its locking into the recess 166 also provides the displaceability of the blocking sliding member 156 , And the two components connected together by the above-mentioned connection assembly remain firmly connected together. However, if the ball 196 is in the center of the concave surface 194 and the housing 2 is lifted, the sliding member 156 can be moved to the left, and the support rod 150 is pivoted in the clockwise direction by the force of the spring 158. Overcoming the force of the spring 202 of the locking device, the plunger 188 is driven upward by the proper inclination of the wall of the recess 166. In this case, the locking assembly 170 is pivoted into the casing, so that the casing 2 can be removed from the cut hole. Please note that the latch 168 and the locking assembly 170 and its guide in the opening 174 of the housing 2 are sized so that the locking assembly can withstand high forces when traction is applied to the hammer head. The specific embodiments described and illustrated can be modified in many different ways. For example, the hammer head 6 may be replaced by a fixing member, with which the housing 2 may be directly fixed to a component, such as a round assembly frame or a chassis. In addition, the entire arrangement can be rotated in such a way that the components, such as attachments that are connected together by the connecting assembly, are fixed laterally to each other. In this case, the locking device, such as the locking device 182, is such that when it is oriented vertically, And when it has no lateral force, it can be set by taking a release position. In terms of turning the hammer head 6 from the unlocked position to the locked position, there is a difference of -24- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) Gutter 523484 V.
