Description

Connector and frame using the connector

This creation is about a connecting piece and a frame using the connecting piece.

Generally, the frame formed by the assembly of pipe fittings is often used as the base of the scaffolding, such as but not limited to construction or gardening. The assembly methods between the pipe fittings include welding, socketing or connecting with overlapping parts. The structure is simple and can be used. Quick assembly. However, if the pipes are connected by welding, the pipes must be accurately aligned, otherwise they are likely to be relatively skewed, and the assembled pipes cannot be disassembled and reassembled, which is inconvenient for maintenance, assembly and storage; those connected by sockets have insufficient structural strength and The socket of the socket and the nozzle of each pipe are easily deformed due to extrusion, and the durability is not good; if the lap is connected, the accurate alignment is also impossible, or the lap needs to be fixed on the pipe. Low diversity in assembling.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and progressive connector and a frame using the connector to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide a connector that has an alignment structure and can be diversified.
