Magnetic attraction connection structure

Abstract

A magnetic attraction connection structure includes a main body. The main body has a peripheral edge on which at least one connection surface is defined. The main body is provided with at least one movement space in an interior of the peripheral edge at one side of the connection surface. The movement space is provided with a magnet arranged in an interior thereof. The movement space is of a size that is sufficient to allow the magnet to move in a direction toward the connection surface or to rotate by an angle. In use, the connection surface of the main body is placed in direct contact with another main body at the location corresponding to the magnets, such that the magnets arranged in the two movement spaces automatically move or rotate due to magnetic attraction of opposite magnetic polarities, so as to securely fix the main bodies together.

Claims

1. A magnetic attraction connection structure, which is applicable to combination partitions and boxes, the magnetic attraction connection structure comprising a main body, the main body having a peripheral edge on which at least one connection surface is defined, the main body being provided with at least one movement space that is formed in an interior of the peripheral edge at one side of the connection surface, the movement space being provided with a magnet arranged in an interior thereof, the movement space being of a size that is sufficient to allow the magnet to automatically move in a direction toward the connection surface or to rotate by an angle, wherein the movement space provides a space for the magnet to rotate in order to automatically change a direction or a location in which a north pole or a south pole of the magnet is set, so that the connection surface of the main body is positionable to directly face another main body to have outside surfaces to which the magnets correspond contacting each other without first setting or fixing the direction or location of the north pole or south pole of the magnet and without considering a rule of mutual repulsion between identical polarities and mutual attraction between opposite polarities, wherein the magnets arranged in the movement spaces of the main body and said another main body are automatically movable or rotatable, by means of an effect of mutual repulsion between identical polarities and mutual attraction between opposite polarities, into directions for mutual attraction between opposite polarities, so as to realize mutual magnetic attraction to have the contacting surfaces of the two main bodies mutually and magnetically attracting and combining with each other and fixed together to form a partition; wherein the peripheral edge of the main body forms a frame, and the frame is provided, on each of an upper side and a lower side thereof, with a surface panel to jointly form a configuration of a board; and wherein the peripheral edge of the main body is provided, in the interior thereof, with a separation plate, which defines a channel in the peripheral edge and multiple blockers of different sizes are disposed in the channel to delimit the movement space.

2. The magnetic attraction connection structure according to claim 1, wherein the magnet is of a cubic shape.

3. The magnetic attraction connection structure according to claim 1, wherein the magnet has a shape of an elongate flat body.

4. The magnetic attraction connection structure according to claim 1, wherein the magnet is of a square cuboidal shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(11) Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the present invention comprises a main body 1. The main body 1 has a peripheral edge, on which at least one connection surface 10 is defined. The main body 1 is provided with at least one movement space 20 that is formed in an interior of the peripheral edge at one side of the connection surface 10. The movement space 20 is provided, in the interior thereof, with a magnet 30. The movement space 20 has a size that allows the magnet 30 to move in a direction toward the connection surface 10 or to make rotation of an angle.

(12) In an embodiment of the structure, the peripheral edge of the main body 1 forms a frame, and the frame is provided, on each of an upper side and a lower side thereof, with a surface panel 40 to jointly form a configuration of a board.

(13) In an embodiment of the structure, the peripheral edge of the main body 1 is provided in the interior thereof with a separation plate 50 to delimit and form the movement space 20.

(14) In an embodiment of the structure, the magnet 30 is selected as a powerful magnet.

(15) In an embodiment of the structure, the magnet 30 has a cubic shape.

(16) The above provides a description to each of the components of the present invention, as well as a way of assembly thereof, while in the following, an example of use, features, and advantages of the present invention will be described.

(17) Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in use, the connection surface 10 of the main body 1 is set to face another main body 1 such that the outside surfaces (10 and/or 40) of the main bodies are put in contact with each other at a location corresponding to the magnets 30 thereof.

(18) Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the magnets 30 that are disposed in two of such movement spaces 20 automatically move or rotate due to magnetic attraction of opposite magnetic polarities, so as to mutually and magnetically attract each other, allowing the contact surfaces of the two main bodies 1 to securely fix to each other through connection resulting from magnetically attracting each other. Thus, there is no need for any exposed connecting piece to have multiple such main bodies 1 to directly contact and connect for forming various three-dimensional configurations, such as a box and a partition structure, and there will be protruding piece at the connection site.

(19) The present invention has advantages of aesthetics, environment-friendliness, reduced number of components, which leads to a reduced cost, easy and convenient assembly, and being easy to stow and transport.

(20) Referring to FIGS. 8-11, the main body 1 of the present invention can be made in a board configuration of various sizes for connection to form a box. The number of the main bodies 1 that are connected to make the box can be increased or decreased, as desired, to change the size of the box so made.

(21) Referring to FIGS. 12-15, in an embodiment of the structure, the peripheral edge of the main body 1 is provided, in the interior thereof, with a channel, through the disposition of the separation plate 50 therein. In the channel, multiple blockers 60, 61, which may be of different sizes, are disposed in the channel to delimit the movement space 20.

(22) In an embodiment of the structure, the magnet 30 has a shape of an elongate flat body.

(23) Referring to FIGS. 16-22, following the example of use of the structure described previously, in a similar way, the connection surface 10 of the main body 1 is oriented to face another main body 1 to allow the outside surfaces thereof to contact with each other at the location corresponding to the magnets 30. Due to magnetic attraction of opposite magnetic polarities, the magnets 30 arranged in two of such movement spaces 20 automatically move or rotate to mutually and magnetically attract each other, so as to have the connection surfaces 10 of the two main bodies 1 to securely fix to each other through connection resulting from magnetically attracting each other. As such, multiple such main bodies 1 can be connected, through direct contact, to form a partition structure.

(24) Referring to FIG. 23, in an embodiment of the structure, the magnet 30 is of a square cuboidal shape.
