As used herein, the term “and / or” means any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0052] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the present application provides a mounting structure 100 configured to be mounted on a load-bearing structure 200. FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are schematic diagrams of assembly of the mounting structure 100 and the load-bearing structure 200, 20. The mating member 20 is connected to the load-bearing structure 200 via the connecting member 10, and the mating member 20 is configured to carry a to-be-mounted article. By providing the connecting member 10, the connecting member 10 matched with different loadbearing structures 200 can be customized according to different usage requirements, thereby facilitating the connection of the mating member to the load-bearing structures 200 via the connecting member 10.
[0053] In some embodiments, the mating member 20 is non-detachably connected to the connecting member 10.
[0054] In an embodiment, the mating member 20 and the connecting member 10 may be integrally formed. For example, the mating member 20 and the connecting member 10 may be integrally injection molded. Alternatively, the mating member 20 may be adhesively bonded to the connecting member 10. Alternatively, the mating member 20 may be riveted to the connecting member 10.
[0055] The mating member 20 may be detachably connected to the connecting member 10.
[0056] Next, referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, the connecting member 10 may be provided with a first mating structure 11. The mating member 20 may be provided with a second mating structure 21. At least a portion of the second mating structure 21 may be pressed onto the first mating structure 11 along a gravity direction X to prevent the mating member 20 from being detached from the connecting member 10 along the gravity direction X. Under a weight of the mating member itself and a weight of the to-be-mounted article, the mating member 20 may be pressed onto the first mating structure 11, such that the mating member 20 can be securely connected to the connecting member 10 without being detached from the connecting member 10 along the gravity direction X.
[0057] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the first mating structure 11 may be configured as a protruding portion 111 protruding from a surface of the connecting member 10, and the second mating structure 21 may be configured as a mating groove 201. The mating groove 201 may have a first groove opening 211 directly facing the protruding portion 111. The mating groove 201 may be configured to be fitted over the protruding portion 111 through the first groove opening 211, and an upper wall of the mating groove 201 may be pressed onto the protruding portion 111 along the gravity direction X. By such configuration, a contact area between the first mating structure 11 and the second mating structure 21 can be increased, thereby making the connection between the mating member 20 and the connecting member 10 more secure.
[0058] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, an outer peripheral wall of the protruding portion 111 may be provided with a restricting flange 112. The restricting flange 112 may be spaced apart from the surface of the connecting member 10. The first groove opening 211 may be provided with a rim 212 extending toward a center of the first groove opening 211, and the rim 212 may be stopped between the restricting flange 112 and the surface of the connecting member 10. By providing the rim 212 stopped between the restricting flange 112 and the surface of the connecting member 10, the mating member 20 can be prevented from being detached from the connecting member 10 along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the connecting member 10.
[0059] Furthermore, the mating groove 201 may further have a second groove opening 21 in communication with the first groove opening 211. Along the gravity direction X, the protruding portion 111 of the mating member 20 may be configured to pass through the second groove opening 213 and the first groove opening 211 sequentially and extend into the mating groove 201. By providing the second groove opening 213, the mating groove 201 can be conveniently fitted over the surface of the protruding portion 111.
[0060] The mounting structure 100 may further include a locking member 30, and the locking member 30 may be configured to prevent the mating member 20 from being detached from the connecting member 10 along an anti-gravity direction Y. For example, three types of the locking member 30 are described below. It may be understood that a specific structure of the locking member 30 may not be limited to the three types described below.
[0061] First, a first implementation of the locking member 30 may be described.
[0062] Still referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the mating member 20 may be provided with a third mating structure 22, and the locking member 30 may be movably connected to the connecting member 10. At least a portion of the locking member 30 may be movable to protrude beyond a surface of the connecting member 10 proximal to the mating member 20, and may be configured to form a stop above the third mating structure 22 along the gravity direction X. The locking member 30 may be movable to no longer protrude beyond the surface of the connecting member 10 proximal to the mating member 20, so as to release the stop between the locking member 30 and the third mating structure 22. Since the first mating structure 11 and the second mating structure 21 are cooperated with each other to prevent the mating member 20 from being detached from the connecting member 10 along the gravity direction X, by providing at least a portion of the locking member 30 to form the stop above the third mating structure 22 along the gravity direction X, the mating member 20 can be prevented from being detached from the connecting member 10 along the anti-gravity direction Y, thereby achieving complete locking of the mating member 20 and the connecting member 10. Moreover, by moving the locking member 30, the stop between the locking member 30 and the third mating structure 22 can be released, thereby unlocking the mating member 20 from the connecting member 10, and facilitating detachment of the mating member 20 from the connecting member 10.
[0063] The connecting member 10 may be provided with a through hole 12. The locking member 30 may include a main body portion 31 and a protrusion 32 connected to each other. The protrusion 32 may be configured to extend through the through hole 12 beyond the surface of the connecting member 10 proximal to the mating member 20. The main body portion 31 may be movably connected to the connecting member 10 and configured to drive the protrusion 32 to be disengaged from the through hole 12. That is, the protrusion 32 may be configured for stop mating with the third mating structure 22.
[0064] For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the through hole 12 may be formed in the protruding portion 111, and the third mating structure 22 may be configured as a clamping block 202 extending inside the mating groove 201. By such configuration, a space of the connecting member 10 along the gravity direction X can be fully utilized, thereby facilitating shortening lengths of the connecting member 10 and the corresponding mating member 20, saving materials, and reducing costs.
[0065] The locking member 30 may further include an elastic support member 39. One end of the elastic support member 39 may be connected to the connecting member 10, and the another end of the elastic support member 39 may be pressed onto the main body portion 31 along an axis of the through hole 12, such that the protrusion 32 may be maintained in a state of extending out of the through hole 12. By such configuration, under the action of the elastic support member 39, the protrusion 32 can be maintained in stop mating with the third mating structure 22, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the mating member 20 and the connecting member 10. Specifically, the elastic support member 39 may be configured as a metal spring plate.
[0066] The protrusion 32 may be provided with a guiding inclined surface 321. When the main body 31 is moved along the anti-gravity direction Y by a preset distance, the protrusion 32 may be configured to be disengaged from the through hole 12 along the guiding inclined surface 321. The guiding inclined surface 321 may provide a guiding function, facilitating the disengagement of the protrusion 32 from the through hole 12. Specifically, when detachment of the mating member 20 is desired, only the main body portion 31 needs to be pushed along the anti-gravity direction Y, such that the protrusion 32 can be disengaged from the through hole 12 along the guiding inclined surface 321, thereby releasing the stop mating between the protrusion 32 and the third mating structure 22. Thereafter, the mating member 20 may be moved along the anti-gravity direction Y to release the limitation between the second mating structure 21 and the first mating structure 11, allowing the mating member 20 to be detached from the connecting member 10. Specifically, the guiding inclined surface 321 may be disposed above the protrusion 32.
[0067] The connecting member 10 may be provided with a sliding groove 13, and an end of the main body portion 31 away from the protrusion 32 may be slidably engaged with a sidewall of the sliding groove 13 along the gravity direction X or the anti-gravity direction Y. The sliding groove 13 may provide a guiding role, thereby enabling the main body portion 31 to slide relative to the connecting member 10 more smoothly.
[0068] The locking member 30 may further include an auxiliary pushing block 33 connected to an end of the main body portion 31 relatively away from the protrusion 32. The auxiliary pushing block 33 may be configured to drive the protrusion 32 to be disengaged from the through hole 12 when being pushed along the anti-gravity direction Y.
[0069] Specifically, the auxiliary pushing block 33 may be connected to a side of the main body portion 31 proximal to the mating member 20, and the mating member 20 may be provided with a clearance notch 27 corresponding to the auxiliary pushing block 33, through which the auxiliary pushing block 33 is exposed. By such configuration, the main body 31 can be pushed conveniently by an operator to move along the anti-gravity direction Y via the auxiliary pushing block 33.
[0070] The locking member 30 may further include a first elastic restoring member 34. One end of the first elastic restoring member 34 may be connected to an upper wall of the sliding groove 13, and another end of the first elastic restoring member 34 may be configured to elastically act on the auxiliary pushing block 33 along the gravity direction X.
[0071] Thus, when a force is applied to the auxiliary pushing block 33 by the operator to push the auxiliary pushing block 33 to move along the anti-gravity direction Y, the first elastic restoring member 34 may be compressed. When the acting force is stopped being applied to the auxiliary pushing block 33 by the operator, the auxiliary pushing block 33 may be pushed by the first elastic restoring member 34 pushes to drive the main body portion 31 to return, such that the protrusion 32 may be restored to a state where the protrusion 32 is limited in the through hole 12. The first elastic restoring member 34 may be configured as a spring.
[0072] Next, a second embodiment of the locking member 30 may be described.
[0073] Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 17, the connecting member 10 may be provided with a third mating structure 22, and the third mating structure 22 may be configured as a restricting hole 203. The locking member 30 may be elastic, and the locking member 30 may be fixed to the mating member 20. The locking member 30 may be configured to deform and extend into the restricting hole 203 when the mating member 20 moves relative to the connecting member 10.
[0074] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the locking member 30 may be configured in a hook shape, thereby facilitating extension of the locking member 30 into the restricting hole 203 and forming the stop below the upper wall of the restricting hole 203 along the gravity direction X.
[0075] In an embodiment, the locking member 30 and the mating member 20 may both be made of plastic and integrally formed by injection molding.
[0076] The mounting structure 100 may further include an auxiliary pushing block 33 movably connected to the mating member 20. The auxiliary pushing block 33 may be configured to drive the locking member 30 to be deformed and disengaged from the restricting hole 203 when moving relative to the mating member 20. Thus, the operator may push the auxiliary pushing block 33 may be pushed by the operator to disengage the locking member 30 from the restricting hole 203, thereby unlocking the mating member 20 from the connecting member 10.
[0077] Furthermore, the auxiliary pushing block 33 may be provided with a mating hook 331. The mating hook 331 may be slidably connected below the locking member 30. The mating hook 331 may be configured to apply a force on the locking member 30 directed away from the connecting member 10 when sliding upward relative to the mating member 20, thereby causing the locking member 30 to be deformed and disengaged from the restricting hole 203.
[0078] Specifically, the mating hook 331 may be provided with a first inclined surface 332, and the locking member 30 may be provided with a second inclined surface 302. The first inclined surface 332 may be slidably abutted below the second inclined surface 302. Moreover, along the gravity direction, each of the first inclined surface 332 and the second inclined surface may extend in a direction away from the connecting member 10. Thus, when the mating hook 331 moves upward, the first inclined surface 332 can apply a force directed away from the connecting member 10 on the locking member 30 via the second inclined surface 302, causing the locking member 30 to be deformed and disengaged from the restricting hole 203.
[0079] Next, a third embodiment of the locking member 30 may be described.
[0080] Referring to FIG. 18 to FIG. 22, the connecting member 10 may be provided with a third mating structure 22, and the locking member 30 may be movably connected to the mating member 20. At least a portion of the locking member 30 may be movable to protrude beyond a surface of the mating member 20 proximal to the connecting member 10, and configured to form a stop below the third mating structure 22 along the gravity direction X. The locking member 30 may be movable to no longer protrude beyond the surface of the mating member 20 proximal to the connecting member 10, so as to release the stop between the locking member 30 and the third mating structure 22.
[0081] The mating member 20 may have a mounting cavity 23. The mounting cavity 23 may have a first opening 231 facing the connecting member 10. The locking member 30 may be movably accommodated in the mounting cavity 23, and at least a portion of the locking member 30 may be configured to extend out through the first opening 231.
[0082] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 20, the mounting cavity 23 may have a second opening 232 facing the anti-gravity direction Y. The locking member 30 may include a blocking plate 35 and an actuating button 36. The blocking plate 35 may extend out through the first opening 231, one end of the actuating button 36 may extend out through the second opening 232, and another end of the actuating button 36 may be movably connected to the blocking plate 35. The actuating button 36 may be configured to push the blocking plate 35 to be retracted into the mounting cavity 23 when moving along the gravity direction X.
[0083] The blocking plate 35 may be configured to form a stop below the third mating structure 22 along the gravity direction X. When an operator presses the actuating button 36 along the gravity direction X, the actuating button 36 may be configured to drive the blocking plate 35 to move into the mounting cavity 23 until the blocking plate 35 no longer extends out of the first opening 231, thereby releasing the stop between the blocking plate 35 and the third mating structure 22. That is, unlocking the mating member 20 from the connecting member 10 can be achieved by pressing the actuating button 36 downward.
[0084] A sidewall of the actuating button 36 away from the first opening 231 may be configured as an actuating inclined surface 361. The blocking plate 35 may be provided with a perforation 351. The actuating button 36 may extend through the perforation 351, and the actuating inclined surface 361 may be pressed onto an inner wall of the perforation 351. The actuating inclined surface 361 may be configured to apply a force on the inner wall of the perforation 351 directed from the first opening 231 toward the mounting cavity 23 when moving along the gravity direction X. By providing the actuating inclined surface 361, the movement of the actuating button 36 along the gravity direction X may be converted into the movement of the blocking plate 35 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 23.
[0085] The locking member 30 may further include a blocking block 37 connected to the actuating button 36 and stopped below the blocking plate 35 along the gravity direction X. Thus, the blocking block 37 can prevent the actuating button 36 from escaping from the second opening 232 along the anti-gravity direction Y.
[0086] Furthermore, the locking member 30 may further include a second elastic restoring member 38. One end of the second elastic restoring member 38 may be connected to a bottom wall of the mounting cavity 23, and another end of the second elastic restoring member 38 may be configured to elastically act on the blocking block 37 along the anti-gravity direction Y. The second elastic restoring member 38 may apply a force on the blocking plate 35 in the anti-gravity direction Y by abutting against the blocking block 37, thereby maintaining the blocking plate 35 in a state where the blocking plate 35 is limited within the mounting cavity 23.
[0087] The connecting member 10 may have at least one mounting surface 15 and at least one mating surface 16. The mounting surface 15 may be configured to be connected to the load-bearing structure 200, and the mating surface 16 may be configured to be connected to the mating member 20.
[0088] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the connecting member 10 may have a mounting surface 15 and a mating surface 16 disposed away from each other. In this embodiment, each connecting member 10 may be correspondingly mounted with one mating member 20, and the load-bearing structure 200 and the mating member 20 may be located on two opposite sides of the connecting member 10, such that the structure of the connecting member 10 is more compact.
