[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. These do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] It should also be noted that the terms "first," "second," "axial direction," "radial direction," and "extension direction" used herein are merely for ease of description and understanding and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The term "extension direction" in this document refers to the direction of the longer length of the hollow portion of the parent component or the main body of the male component. In this application, it is consistent with the receiving direction of the hollow portion of the parent component receiving the main body of the male component and the operational direction of assembling the main body of the male component into the hollow portion of the parent component.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the mother component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a sectional view of the parent component taken along the direction of its hollow portion. Also refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The parent component is generally indicated by reference numeral 1 in the figure. As shown, the parent component 1 includes a parent component body 11, a hollow portion 12, an opening 13 in the hollow portion, and a receiving recess 15. The hollow portion 12 is formed inside the parent component body 1 along its extending direction as a first axial direction, and the opening 13 is formed on the surface of the parent component body. The receiving recess 13 extends outward from the inner side of the parent component body 1 along a first radial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction. The inner side of the parent component body 1, i.e., the interior of the parent component body 1, defines the inner wall of the hollow portion 12.

[0045] The female component 1 of this utility model is configured to be used in conjunction with a male component for jewelry. The male component includes a male component body extending along a second axial direction. The shape of the male component body corresponds to the shape of the hollow portion of the female component body. The male component body includes a hollow portion arranged along a second radial direction perpendicular to the second axial direction. An opening of the hollow portion is formed on the surface of the male component body, and a pin is disposed in the hollow portion. The pin can be translated along the second radial direction between an extended position extending from the opening of the hollow portion and a retracted position retracting from the opening of the hollow portion. When the male component body extends into the hollow portion of the female component along the first axial direction from the opening of the hollow portion and is in place, the pin is in the extended position and received in a receiving recess to lock the male component and the female component together.

[0046] The correspondence between the shape of the male component body and the shape of the hollow portion 12 of the female component 1 includes not only the case where the shape of the male component body is completely consistent with the shape of the hollow portion 12 of the female component 1, but also any case where the shape is not completely consistent, but the male component body can be inserted into the hollow portion 12 of the female component, and its pin can be received in the receiving recess 15 when it is in the extended position, thereby locking the female component and the male component.

[0047] To facilitate the disassembly of the locked female component 1 and male component, preferably, an unlocking opening extending from the outer surface of the female component body 11 to the receiving recess 15 can be provided at a position corresponding to the receiving recess 15. This opening allows for the application of force by hand or tool to the pin of the male component when it is received in the receiving recess 15, causing the pin to return to the retracted position, thus facilitating the unlocking of the locked connection between the male component and the female component 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the female component 1 of this utility model shown, the receiving recess 15 directly connects to the outer surface of the female component body 11, and an unlocking opening 17 is formed on the outer surface of the female component body 11 (see...). Figure 2 You can use a tool, such as a thin needle or rod, to insert into the unlocking opening and push the pin back into its retracted position to unlock it. If the unlocking opening is large enough, you can also insert, for example, a fingernail, into it to push the pin back into its retracted position to unlock it.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The figure also shows that, in this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hollow portion 12 of the female part is cuboid in shape, with a first axial direction parallel to the length direction of the cuboid and a first radial direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the length direction and the wider width direction of the cuboid. The receiving recess 15 of this defined hollow portion 12 can be formed in the plane defined by the length and the wider width of the cuboid, thus allowing for a larger size, which in turn allows for a larger pin size in the male part, facilitating the design and manufacturing of both the male and female parts. To facilitate manufacturing or reduce fitting requirements, the corresponding edges along the length direction of the cuboid shape of the hollow portion 12 can be rounded or chamfered. Where design and manufacturing are feasible, the hollow portion 12 of the female part does not necessarily have to be cuboid in shape; it can be any shape suitable for the application. Correspondingly, the main body shape of the male part can be any shape that can cooperate with the hollow portion 12 of the female part to achieve locking of the pin in the receiving recess 15 of the female part 1 at the extended position.

[0049] The figure also shows that the female component 1 has a female component beveled surface 14 at the opening 13 of the female component hollow portion. This beveled surface 14 is used to cooperate with the male component's pin when the male component is assembled into the female component hollow portion 12 of the female component 1. It guides the pin and applies radial pressure to it, making it easier for it to be in the retracted position, thereby allowing the male component body to smoothly enter the female component hollow portion 12 and ultimately achieve locking. However, the female component beveled surface 14 is not a necessary structural feature. The female component of this utility model may not include the female component beveled surface 14. In this case, the male component beveled surface at the pin end of the male component can also play the same role as the female component beveled surface 14. Radial force can also be applied to the pin by external force during assembly to assist.

[0050] The figure also shows that the hollow portion 11 of the female part 1 further includes a positioning recess 16, which can be used to mate with a male part including a positioning protrusion extending from the male part body along a second axial direction as the extension direction. When the male part body is in place in the hollow portion of the female part, the positioning protrusion is received in the positioning recess 16, making the mating of the male and female parts more accurate and facilitating the positioning of the male part in the female part. Similarly, the positioning recess 16 is not a necessary structural feature, and the female part 1 of this invention may not include the positioning recess 16.

[0051] The figure also shows that, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, the main body 11 of the female component is in the shape of a pentagonal prism. The hollow opening 13 of the female component is formed in the side of the pentagonal prism, which includes a pentagonal cross-section, on the side opposite to the vertex. The first radial direction is perpendicular to the top or bottom surface of the pentagonal prism, and the unlocking opening 17 is formed in the bottom surface. If only functionality is considered and aesthetics are disregarded, the unlocking opening 17 can also be formed in the top surface of the pentagonal prism. The main body 11 of the female component is not limited to a pentagonal prism shape; it can be any shape that takes into account aesthetics and ease of integration with jewelry.

[0052] Figure 12This is a perspective view showing an ornament in a separated state, including a female component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and an ornament including a male component that mates with it. Figure 13 This is a perspective view showing an ornament in a locked state, including a female component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and a male component that mates with it. Figure 14 This is a perspective view showing an ornament in a locked state, including the female component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the male component that mates with it, from another different perspective. Also refer to... Figures 12 to 14 The figure shows a first ornament 3 including a female part 1 and a second ornament 4 including a male part 2. The female part 1 is attached to the first ornament 3 with the side of a pentagonal prism. The first ornament 3 can be used in conjunction with the second ornament 4 through the locking connection between the female part 1 and the male part 2. Thus, a jewelry component that can be worn in multiple ways and interchangeably is realized through a simple and reliable connection method, and accidental unlocking can be prevented.

[0053] Special reference Figure 14 The figure shows an unlocking opening 17 for unlocking the locking connection between male component 2 and female component 1. This unlocking opening 17 is formed in the bottom surface of the pentagonal prism, and the pin of male component 2 does not protrude from this bottom surface, thus preventing accidental unlocking during use. Unlocking is easy; simply insert a pointed or thin tool into the unlocking opening 17, or even a fingernail if the opening is large enough, and apply force to the pin.

[0054] The following will refer to Figure 3-11 Description and Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of a male component used in conjunction with a female component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a male component according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, taken along its main body extension direction. The male component is generally indicated by reference numeral 2. The male component 2 includes a male component body 21, which includes a male component hollow portion 22 extending along a second radial direction perpendicular to the second axial direction, forming an opening 24 in the hollow portion on the outer surface of the male component body 21; and a pin 23 disposed within the hollow portion 22, capable of translating along the second radial direction between an extended position extending from the opening 24 and a retracted position. The male component 2 also includes a spring-type elastic element 25 disposed within the hollow portion 22, configured such that the pin 23 is biased by the elastic element 25, extending from the hollow portion 22 into the extended position of the male component body 2. Figure 3 The pin 23 shown is in the position shown, and can be retracted into the hollow part 22 by pressure to be in the retracted position.

[0056] Figure 3 It is also shown that the end of the pin 23 of the male component 2 that protrudes from the hollow portion 22 of the male component includes a pin bevel, for use with... Figure 1 and 2 The female part has a beveled surface 14. When the male part 2 is assembled into the hollow part 12 of the female part, the beveled surface of the pin allows the pin 23 to slide back into the hollow part 22 of the male part by being pressed by the beveled surface 14 of the female part, thereby facilitating the assembly of the male part 2 into the hollow part 12 of the female part.

[0057] Figure 3 It is also shown that the male component body 21 further includes a positioning protrusion 211 extending from the male component body 22 along a second axis. When the male component body 21 is positioned in the hollow portion 12 of the female component, the positioning protrusion 211 is received in the positioning recess 16 of the female component 1 to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the male component 2 in the female component body 1.

[0058] Figure 3 It is also shown that the main body 21 of the component includes a connecting portion 212 extending from the main body 22 along a second axis and opposite to the positioning protrusion 211, for connecting the component to the jewelry.

[0059] Figure 15 It is a 3D view showing the components and accessories in a separated state. Figure 16 This is a 3D view showing the male component and the accessory in a combined state. The image shows male component 2 and the second accessory 4, with special reference. Figure 15 and Figure 3 In order to combine the male part 2 with the second ornament 4, a male part ornament connecting part 212 can be provided on the male part body along a second axial direction which is the extension direction of the male part body, and a male part connecting hole 41 can be provided on the second ornament 4. The male part 2 and the second ornament 4 can be fixedly connected by, for example, welding, the connecting part 212 and the male part connecting hole 41.

[0060] The connection between the male component 2 and the second ornament 4 is not limited to this and can be achieved in a variety of ways. For example, if the main body of the male component 2 is long enough, one end of the main body of the male component can be connected to the connecting hole on the second ornament without the need to set the connecting part 212.

[0061] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The exploded perspective view of the component shown. Figure 5 yes Figure 3 and Figure 4 The enlarged perspective view of the main body of the component is shown. For ease of processing and assembly, the component 2 of this utility model is preferably constructed as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure implementation in [the document / framework]. Specifically... Figure 4The shown component 2 includes a component body 21, a pin 23, a resilient element 25, and a cover 26. Figure 5 The hollow portion 22 of the male component is shown in more detail as a stepped through-hole, including a first step 29 and a second step 28. The through-hole of step 29 defines an opening 24 in the hollow portion of the male component. The stepped through-hole of the hollow portion 22 also includes a mounting opening 27 formed on the outer surface of the male component opposite to the opening 24 in the hollow portion of the male component. The size of the opening 24 in the hollow portion of the male component is smaller than the size of the through-hole defined by the second step 28, and the size of the through-hole defined by the second step 28 is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 27. The pin 23 includes an end that extends out of the opening 24 in the hollow portion of the male component and an end that does not extend out of the hollow portion 22. The pin 23 includes a flange near its end that does not extend out of the hollow portion 22. The size of the through-hole defined by the first step 29 matches the size of the portion of the pin 23 extending out of the hollow portion 22. The through-hole defined by the second step 28 is used for movement of the pin 23 between an extended position and a retracted position, and is sized to accommodate the flange and the elastic element 25 of the pin 23.

[0062] Figure 5 Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can also be seen that the male component body 21 and the hollow portion 12 of the female component are respectively set as cuboid shapes. The second axial direction (i.e., the extension direction) of the male component body 21 is parallel to the length direction of the cuboid, and the second radial direction (i.e., the direction perpendicular to the extension direction) is perpendicular to the plane defined by the length direction and the wider width direction of the cuboid. The male component hollow portion 22 defined in this way can have its hollow portion opening 24 formed in the plane defined by the length and the wider width of the cuboid. Therefore, the size of the male component hollow portion opening 24 can be large, thereby making the radial dimension of the pin 23 of the male component 1 that it mates with larger, thus facilitating the design and processing of the male component 2. Moreover, in order to facilitate processing or reduce the mating requirements, the corresponding edges of the cuboid shape of the male component body 21 along the length direction can be made to include rounded corners or chamfers.

[0063] Figure 6 It is a display Figures 3 to 5 The first assembly step of the component is shown in a cross-sectional view. At this time, the pin 23 is inserted into the hollow part 22 of the component through the assembly opening 27. The first step 29 is used to block the flange of the pin 23 to limit its maximum extension position.

[0064] Figure 7 It is a display Figures 3 to 5 The second assembly step of the male component is shown in a cross-sectional view. At this time, the elastic member 25 is inserted into the hollow part 22 of the male component through the assembly opening 27 and placed on the end of the pin 23 including the flange.

[0065] Figure 8 It is a display Figures 3 to 5The cross-sectional view shows the third assembly step of the male component. At this point, the cover 26 is installed in the assembly opening 27 and rests on the second step 28. The second step 28 supports and positions the cover 26. The elastic element 25 is placed between the flanged end of the pin 23 and the cover 26. The cover 26 compresses the elastic element 25, thereby biasing the pin 23 to the protruding position of the hollow opening 24 of the male component. Simultaneously, the cover 26 seals the assembly opening 27. The gap between the cover 26 and the assembly opening 27 can be welded and then polished smooth so that no assembly marks are visible on the surface.

[0066] To better understand the design principles and mating structure of the female and male components of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 9 to 11 describe Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mother component 1 and the mother component 2 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in the figure are shown in the figure. Figures 3 to 8 The assembly process of component 2 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in the figure.

[0067] Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view showing the assembly process from male part 2 to female part 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at which point the beveled surface of the pin 23 of male part 2 just abuts against the beveled surface 14 of female part 14 that mates with it at the opening 13 of the hollow part of female part.

[0068] Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view showing the assembly process from male part 2 to female part 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the male part pin 23 passes through the female part oblique section 14 at the opening 13 of the female part hollow part and completely enters the female part hollow part 12, and is compressed into the male part hollow part 22 against the inner wall of the female part hollow part 12.

[0069] Figure 11 This is a cross-sectional view showing the assembly process from male component 2 to female component 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the male component pin 23 reaches the pin receiving part 15, and the pin 23 is biased into the pin receiving part 15 of the female component 1 by the elastic member 25, thereby locking the female component 1 and the male component 2.

[0070] It should be understood that Figures 3 to 8 The structure of male component 2 shown is a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The structures corresponding to the non-essential structures of female component 1 can also be non-essential, such as the beveled surface of pin 23, male component positioning part 211, and male component connecting part 212. Removing these structures does not affect the locking connection function between male component 2 and female component 1. Furthermore, male component 2 is not necessarily limited to... Figure 4The structure shown includes a male component body 21, a pin 23, an elastic element 25, and a cover 26. For example, the hollow opening of the male component can be provided on the cover, and the stepped hole can be replaced by a blind hole of the same diameter. After the elastic element and the pin are sequentially assembled into the blind hole, the opening of the blind hole is covered by the cover, which has the hollow opening of the male component, thereby forming a structure that is consistent with...
