Claim 10:
11. A connector, comprising:
a base;
a connecting part, having one end thereof connected to the base;
a coupling piece, arranged on one other end of the connecting part, the coupling piece comprising a sliding channel recessed into a top surface or a bottom surface of the coupling piece, the sliding channel comprising an open end and a closed end that are opposite to each other, the open end comprising a first opening on a side edge of the coupling piece; and
another connector, comprising an accommodating groove and a positioning portion, the positioning portion being arranged in the accommodating groove and adapted for reciprocal movement along a first direction;
wherein a maximum linear distance of an outer periphery of the connecting part is less than a maximum linear distance of an outer periphery of the coupling piece;
wherein the coupling piece further comprises a guiding channel recessed into the top surface or the bottom surface of the coupling piece, the guiding channel comprising an open side and closed side that are opposite to each other, the open side comprising a second opening in the side edge of the coupling piece, wherein a direction from the closed side to the open side of the guiding channel is different from a direction from the closed end to the open end of the sliding channel;
wherein, when the connector is assembled along a second direction to the another connector, the coupling piece is inserted in the accommodating groove and the positioning portion abuts against the closed end of the sliding channel; and while the connector is assembled to the another connector, after the connector is rotated by 180 degrees and the connector is moved along the second direction away from the another connector, the coupling piece is disengaged from the accommodating groove; and
wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
