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 (7)

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.
