As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the fence kit further includes a corner base assembly 2, and the corner base assembly 2 is arranged between the two adjacent fence panels 1, wherein the corner base assembly 2 includes a corner support 21, an upper surface of the corner support 21 is provided with at least two mounting grooves 211, and as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, different mounting grooves 211 are all connected at one end and open at the other end, an included angle α of 1° to 180° is provided between the different mounting grooves 211, the mounting grooves 211 match the shape of the bottom of the fence panels 1, and after the two adjacent fence panels 1 are respectively inserted into any two mounting grooves 211, an included angle α of 1° to 180° is provided between the two fence panels 1. When there are three or more fence panels 1, fence circles of triangular, quadrilateral and pentagonal shapes may be enclosed, and the mounting grooves 211 of the corner base assembly 2 can fix and lock the two adjacent fence panels 1, so that the adjacent fence panels 1 stably form an included angle, which are not easy to loosen and have better structural stability.
As a preferred solution, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the corner base assembly 2 further includes a reinforcing member 23 connected to the corner support 21 and configured to fix the corner support 21 to the ground so that the corner support 21 can be more firmly connected to the ground.
With regard to the structure of the reinforcing member 23, two solutions are provided in the present embodiment:
One of which is that, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a middle portion of the corner support 21 is provided with an insertion hole 212, and the reinforcing member 23 includes an insertion rod 231 capable of passing through the insertion hole 212 from top to bottom and protruding downward from the bottom of the corner support 21, wherein the insertion rod 231 is of a sharp shape with a large upper portion and a small lower portion, and the top of the insertion rod 231 is provided with a snap joint 232 capable of being snapped at a hole opening of the insertion hole 212. This structure can be inserted into a relatively soft ground via the insertion rod 231 so as to fixedly connect the corner support 21 to the ground, and this solution is suitable for an outdoor environment with ground, but is not suitable for indoors. In this solution, a further improvement solution is provided. As shown in FIG. 7, the insertion hole 212 is a circular hole, an edge of the insertion hole 212 is provided with a notch 213, and the insertion rod 231 is provided at a side adjacent to the snap joint 232 with a first clamping protrusion 233 capable of passing through the notch 213 when the insertion rod 231 passes through the insertion hole 212. In this way, after the first clamping protrusion 233 passes through the notch 213, the first clamping protrusion 233 may be clamped on the edge of the insertion hole 212 by rotating the insertion rod 231 or rotating the corner support 21, thereby fixedly connecting the insertion rod 231 and the corner support 21 together, and fixedly connecting the corner support 21 to the ground.
Another solution of which is that, as shown in FIG. 5, the middle portion of the corner support 21 is provided with an insertion hole 212, an edge of the insertion hole 212 is provided with a notch 213, the reinforcing member 23 includes a suction cup 237, a top of the suction cup 237 is provided with a plug post 238 capable of passing through the insertion hole 212 from bottom to top, and a top of the plug post 238 is provided with a second clamping protrusion 239 capable of passing through the notch 213 when the plug post 238 passes through the insertion hole 212. In this way, after the plug post 238 passes through the insertion hole 212, the second clamping protrusion 239 is clamped on the edge of the insertion hole 212 by rotating the suction cup 237 or the corner support 21, thereby connecting the suction cup 237 and the corner support 21 together, and fixedly connecting the corner support 21 to the ground. This solution is more suitable for indoor ground having a smooth surface than the above-mentioned first solution.
