In this way, the operating portion 122 enables the mounting personnel to conveniently conduct operations on the tensioning rod 12. In the embodiment, the tensioning pin 121 includes the flat shaft 1211, and the flat shaft 1211 is capable of being inserted into or moved out of the cooperating hole 21. Under the condition that the flat shaft 1211 is inserted into the cooperating hole 21, the flat shaft 1211 has the vertical tensioning position and the transverse unlocking position. Under the condition that the flat shaft 1211 is inserted into the cooperating hole 21, the flat shaft 1211 is capable of applying a force upwardly to a hole wall of the cooperating hole 21 when the flat shaft 1211 is at the vertical tensioning position, and the flat shaft 1211 is incapable of applying a force to the hole wall of the cooperating hole 21 when the flat shaft 1211 is at the transverse unlocking position. When two adjacent boxes are tensioned close, the connecting member 20 may be connected with one of the boxes, the tensioning structure 10 is connected with the other box, the tensioning rod 12 is moved, then the flat shaft 1211 is inserted into the cooperating hole 21, at this time, the flat shaft 1211 is at the transverse unlocking position, then the flat shaft 1211 is switched from the transverse unlocking position to the vertical tensioning position, and in this case, the flat shaft 1211 applies a force upwardly to the hole wall of the cooperating hole 21, so as to tension the two adjacent boxes close. Thus, when the two adjacent boxes are tensioned close, the two adjacent boxes may be tensioned close without an external tool (operation rod), thus simplifying a tensioning process and then reducing a gap. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiment effectively solves the problem that in the related technology, an external tool is required for tensioning two adjacent boxes close, resulting in a complex tensioning process.
It should be noted that the flat shaft 1211 of the embodiment has a long axis A1 and a short axis A2, the vertical tensioning position means that the long axis A1 of the flat shaft 1211 is vertical, and the transverse unlocking position means that the short axis A2 of the flat shaft 1211 is vertical. The flat shaft 1211 switches between the transverse unlocking position and the vertical tensioning position by rotation.

In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms “front, rear, upper, lower, left and right”, “transverse, vertical, perpendicular, and horizontal”, “top and bottom”, etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for facilitating the description of the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and in the absence of a statement to the contrary, the orientations do not indicate or implies that a device or element referred to must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore will not be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure; and the words “inside and outside” refer to inside and outside relative to an outline of each component itself.
For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as “over”, “above”, “on an upper surface” and “on” may be used herein to describe spatial positional relations of one device or feature with other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the device described in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as “above” or “over” other devices or structures would then be positioned “below” or “under” the other devices or structures. Thus the exemplary term “above” may include two orientations of “above” and “below.” The device may also be positioned (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) in other different ways and the spatial relative description used herein is interpreted accordingly.
In addition, it should be noted that words “first” and “second” are used to define parts only for convenience of distinguishing corresponding parts. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning, so they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
The above has been described only as preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, which can be modified and changed, for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
