DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The structure and principle of the present invention are very clear to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1: referring to FIGS. 1-3, the present invention designs a connector having a T-shaped main body. Three connecting components are arranged on one surface of the main body and located at three endpoints of the T-shaped main body. Each connecting component comprises a concave groove body and a connecting column which is arranged in a cavity of the concave groove body, wherein a gap exists between the connecting column and the inner wall of the concave groove body. Two connecting tubes are arranged at the bottom of the T-shaped main body side by side. Each connecting tube penetrates through the main body. Connecting holes are formed in the other surface of the main body. The concave groove body opens toward one end of the outside of the main body. The height of each connecting column is greater than the height of each concave groove body. The side wall of the inner cavity of each concave groove body is provided with symmetric notches. The two connecting tubes are arranged between two connecting components side by side, and the wall of each connecting tube is partially fused with the sidewall portion of the corresponding concave groove body. The cross section of each connecting column is polygonal. A limiting plate is arranged in an opening in the lower end of each connecting tube.

[0034] The connector of the present invention has three splicing methods.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the crossbeams of the two grill modules are respectively inserted into the concave groove bodies of two connecting components at an angle of 180 among the three connecting components of the connector, so that the two grills form a plane.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 5, the crossbeams of the two grills are respectively inserted into the concave groove bodies of two connecting components at an angle of 90 among the three connecting components of the connector, so that the two grills form an included angle of 90.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the crossbeams of three grills are respectively inserted into the concave groove bodies of the three connecting components of the connector, so that the three grills are in a T shape.

[0038] Embodiment 2: referring to FIG. 7, a cage formed by the connector designed by the present invention comprises a plurality of grill modules. Each grill module comprises upright columns and crossbeams. The upper end and the lower end of each upright column of each grill module extend out of the corresponding crossbeams, and each upright column is a square hollow column. The upright columns of the grill modules can be cooperatively connected with the connecting components of the connector. The connecting columns of the connecting components are inserted into the hollow upright columns, and tube walls of the hollow upright columns are inserted between the concave groove bodies and the connecting columns. A plurality of top frames is arranged at the top of the cage. Each top frame is spliced by a plurality of circular tubes, wherein each circular tube of the top frame cooperates with the corresponding connecting tube of the connector, and is inserted into the connecting tube through the connecting hole in the back surface of the main body.

[0039] The cage in this embodiment is formed by a combination of the first and second splicing methods. Four groups of grills, each including two grills, form four planes by 180 splicing. The four planes form a closed quadrilateral cage by 90 splicing.

[0040] Embodiment 3: referring to FIG. 8, the cage in this embodiment is composed of three cages in Embodiment 2. The three cages in Embodiment 2 are arranged in a row successively; two sides of the middle cage adjacent to the cages at two sides are removed; two sides of the cages on two sides are spliced with one side of the middle cage by using the third splicing method, that is, every two adjacent cages share one side, to finally form the cage shown in Embodiment 3.

[0041] Embodiment 4: referring to FIG. 9, the cage of this embodiment is an enlarged version of the cage shown in Embodiment 2. A quadrilateral cage can be formed by 180 splicing, and the direction of the sides of the cage can be changed by 90 splicing. In this embodiment, one side of the cage shown in Embodiment 2 is removed, and two sides adjacent to the removed side are then connected with one grill and two grills by 180 splicing. The grills rotate at an angle of 90 by 90 splicing, and a quadrilateral with varying angles is then formed by 180 splicing. In this way, a mansard cage can be spliced randomly.
