The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0026] In one embodiment, a doorbell fixing device 10 is provided, which includes a thimble 100 and a doorbell structure 200. The doorbell structure 200 is generally installed on a door or a wall to remind the user of a visitor, and the thimble 100 can disassemble the doorbell structure 200. The doorbell structure 200 includes a doorbell assembly 300 and a base 400. The doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 are detachable structures and can be realized by the thimble 100, so that the user can assemble or disassemble them.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the doorbell assembly 300 has at least two installation positions on one side facing the base 400, and the doorbell assembly 300 can be rotated from one of the installation positions to any other installation position. When the doorbell assembly 300 is rotated to any installation position, the doorbell assembly 300 can be engaged with the base 400. Specifically, the doorbell assembly 300 has a first installation position and a second installation position, and the angle between the first installation position and the second installation position can be 180 degrees. The user can adjust the direction of the doorbell assembly 300 so that the doorbell assembly 300 can still be fixedly installed with the base 400 after rotating 180 degrees, which effectively increases the flexibility of the doorbell assembly 300. Further, the angle between the first installation position and the second installation position is A, which is greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. The setting of the above angle is more conducive to the user's selection of the installation direction of the doorbell assembly 300, and greatly increases the adaptability of the doorbell assembly 300.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the base 400 includes a bottom plate 410 and a spring piece 420. The user can first fix the bottom plate 410 on a wall or a door. The fixing method can be adhesive, screws, pins, etc. The bottom plate 410 is provided with a receiving groove 411, and the receiving groove 411 runs through two opposite sides of the bottom plate 410. The spring piece 420 is received in the receiving groove 411, and one end of the spring piece 420 is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 411, and the other end is spaced from the groove wall of the receiving groove 411. Specifically, the accommodating groove 411 is roughly a square groove, and the spring piece 420 is an element with a certain elasticity. One end of the spring piece 420 is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the accommodating groove 411, and the other end is accommodated in the accommodating groove 411. When the spring piece 420 is acted upon by an external force, the spring piece 420 can be deformed and can move from a first position to a second position. When the spring piece 420 is located at the first position, the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 are fixedly connected. When the spring piece 420 is located at the second position, the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 are separated.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the doorbell assembly 300 is provided with a first limiting groove 301 and a second limiting groove 302 on one side facing the base 400, the first limiting groove 301 is located at the first installation orientation, the second limiting groove 302 is located at the second installation orientation, and the spring piece 420 is provided with a protrusion 421, the protrusion 421 protrudes from the bottom plate 410, and can be clamped in one of the first limiting groove 301 and the second limiting groove 302. That is, the doorbell assembly 300 can be rotated 180 degrees to make the protrusion 421 clamped in the first limiting groove 301, and rotated 180 degrees again to make the protrusion 421 clamped in the second limiting groove 302, so as to realize the assembly of the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400. Specifically, the side of the doorbell assembly 300 facing the base 400 is roughly square or rectangular, and has a center point, the first limiting groove 301 and the second limiting groove 302 are both located on the side of the mounting plate 311 facing the base 400, and are centrally symmetrical about the center point. When the protrusion 421 is engaged with the first limiting groove 301, the doorbell assembly 300 is fixedly assembled with the base 400 in the first installation position; when the protrusion 421 is engaged with the second limiting groove 302, the doorbell assembly 300 is also fixedly assembled with the base 400 in the second installation position. That is, no matter the doorbell assembly 300 is in the first installation position or the second installation position, it can be fixedly connected with the base 400 by the protrusion 421, so that the user can adjust the direction of the doorbell assembly 300 as needed, thereby increasing the adaptability and flexibility of the installation of the doorbell assembly 300.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the doorbell assembly 300 includes a first housing 310 and a second housing 320. The first housing 310 includes a mounting plate 311 and a first side wall 312 and a second side wall 313 extending along opposite sides of the mounting plate 311. The mounting plate 311, the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 form a mounting groove 330. The mounting groove 330 is generally a C-shaped groove, which is convenient for accommodating the second housing 320. The second housing 320 is provided with a button, and the second housing 320 is provided with a button hole. The user can touch the button through the button hole to make the doorbell assembly 300 emit a ringing sound, thereby reminding the user that there is a visitor. In one embodiment, the mounting plate 311 is further provided with a first card slot 340 and a second card slot 350, the first card slot 340 and the second card slot 350 respectively pass through two opposite sides of the mounting plate 311, and are interconnected with the mounting slot 330, one of the first card slot 340 and the second card slot 350 is located in the first mounting position, and the other is located in the second mounting position, so that the first mounting position can be rotated 180 degrees to the second mounting position.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bottom plate 410 includes a hook 413, which protrudes from the side of the bottom plate 410 facing the mounting plate 311 and can be clamped in the first clamping groove 340 or the second clamping groove 350, and the clamped part of the structure is accommodated in the interval. Specifically, when the doorbell assembly 300 is located in the first installation orientation, the hook 413 can be clamped in the first clamping groove 340, and when the doorbell assembly 300 is located in the second installation orientation, the hook 413 can be clamped in the second clamping groove 350. The doorbell assembly 300 can be rotated 180 degrees from the first state to reach the second state, and the hook 413 can be clamped in one of the first clamping groove 340 and the second clamping groove 350, so that the doorbell assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the base 400. The provision of the hook 413 strengthens the structural strength between the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400. It is understandable that the hook 413 may include two hooks, one of which can be engaged with the first slot 340 , and the other can be engaged with the second slot 350 .

[0032] In one embodiment, the first clamping slot 340 includes a first clamping slot 4131 and a second clamping slot 4132, the first clamping slot 4131 and the second clamping slot 4132 are connected to each other, and the maximum width of the first clamping slot 4131 is greater than the maximum width of the second clamping slot 4132. Further, the first clamping slot 4131 can be through both sides of the bottom plate 410, and the maximum width of the first clamping slot 4131 should be greater than the maximum width of the hook 413, so that the hook 413 can pass through the first clamping slot 4131. After the hook 413 passes through the first clamping slot 4131, the doorbell assembly 300 can slide forward, and the hook 413 is clamped in the second clamping slot 4132. When the hook 413 is clamped, the protrusion 421 of the spring 420 is also clamped in the limiting slot 310. Due to the joint clamping of the hook 413 and the protrusion 421, the doorbell assembly 300 can be relatively firmly installed on the bottom plate 410. Specifically, when the hook 413 is clamped in the second clamping groove 4132, the forward sliding of the doorbell assembly 300 is restricted. Since the reverse movement of the doorbell assembly 300 is not restricted, the doorbell assembly 300 may still continue to slide in the reverse direction. At this time, the protrusion 421 is clamped in the limiting groove 310, which effectively restricts the reverse sliding of the doorbell assembly 300, thereby preventing the doorbell assembly 300 from separating from the bottom plate 410, making the assembly of the doorbell assembly 300 and the bottom plate 410 more stable. It can be understood that the structure of the second clamping groove 350 is similar to that of the first clamping groove 340, and will not be repeated here.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the mounting plate 311 is provided with a first groove 360 ​​and a second groove 370 on one side facing the bottom plate 410. The first groove 360 ​​and the second groove 370 can penetrate the mounting plate 311. One of the first groove 360 ​​and the second groove 370 is located in the first mounting position, and the other is located in the second mounting position. The bottom plate 410 includes a first positioning column 414 and a second positioning column 415. One of the first positioning column 414 and the second positioning column 415 can be accommodated in the first groove 360, and the other can be accommodated in the second groove 370, so that the doorbell assembly 300 can be fixedly connected to the bottom plate 410 regardless of whether it is in the first mounting position or the second mounting position. The first positioning column 414 and the second positioning column 415 are provided to effectively limit the position of the doorbell assembly 300 on the base 400, thereby preventing the doorbell assembly 300 from sliding, and at the same time strengthening the structural strength between the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the bottom plate 410 is further provided with a through hole 412, which can be connected to the accommodating groove 411, and the spring piece 420 has a first surface 425, which can be an inclined surface or an arc surface. The axis extension line of the through hole 412 can pass through the first surface 425, so that the ejector pin 100 can pass through the through hole 412 and slide along the first surface 425 to between the bottom plate 410 and the mounting plate 311. The spring piece 420 is deformed due to the extrusion of the ejector pin 100, so that the spring piece 420 moves from the first position to the second position, so that the protrusion 421 of the spring piece 420 is separated from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, thereby realizing the separation of the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400. Specifically, when the user needs to remove the doorbell assembly 300 from the base plate 410, the user can pick up the ejector pin 100 so that the ejector pin 100 passes through the through hole 412 and slides along the first surface 425, and slides between the doorbell assembly 300 and the spring piece 420. The spring piece 420 is deformed due to the squeezing of the ejector pin 100, so that the spring piece 420 moves from the first position to the second position. That is, at this time, the protrusion 421 of the spring piece 420 is disengaged from the limiting groove 310, thereby realizing the separation of the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400. It can be understood that the angle between the first surface 425 and the horizontal plane is 20 degrees to 40 degrees, and the more optimized angle between the first surface 425 and the horizontal plane is about 30 degrees. The first surface 425 at this angle can help the ejector pin 100 to slide more smoothly on the first surface 425, which is more conducive to the ejector pin 100 sliding from the first surface 425 to between the doorbell assembly 300 and the spring 420, and help part of the structure of the spring 420 to detach from the limiting groove 310.

[0035] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the spring piece 420 may include a connecting portion 422 and an acting portion 423, wherein the connecting portion 422 is used to connect to the groove wall of the accommodating groove 411, the acting portion 423 is spaced from the groove wall of the accommodating groove 411, and the acting portion 423 is provided with a slide groove 424, and the first surface 425 is located at the groove bottom of the slide groove 424. Specifically, the slide groove 424 is generally a C-shaped groove, that is, the two ends of the slide groove 424 are mutually connected, so that the ejector pin 100 can enter from one of the openings of the slide groove 424, pass through the groove bottom of the slide groove 424 and slide out from the other opening opposite to the surface of the spring piece 420, so that the ejector pin 100 is located between the spring piece 420 and the doorbell assembly 300. It can be understood that when the ejector pin 100 slides at the groove bottom of the slide groove 424, the groove wall of the slide groove 424 has a guiding effect on the sliding of the ejector pin 100, so as to prevent the sliding route of the ejector pin 100 from being unclear and deviating. Furthermore, when the ejector pin 100 passes through the through hole 412 and slides through the bottom of the slide groove 424 to between the doorbell assembly 300 and the spring piece 420, the spring piece 420 moves from the first position to the second position so that the protrusion 421 disengages from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, and the doorbell assembly 300 is separated from the bottom plate 410. In one embodiment, the height of the ejector pin 100 is greater than or equal to the height of the protrusion 421, and the height of the protrusion 421 can be the height of the protrusion 421 accommodated in the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302. When the ejector pin 100 is located between the doorbell assembly 300 and the spring 420, due to the height setting of the ejector pin 100, the protrusion 421 can be completely withdrawn from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, effectively preventing part of the structure of the protrusion 421 from being accommodated in the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, resulting in obstacles to the separation of the doorbell assembly 300 and the bottom plate 410.

[0036] Specifically, the width of the connection portion 422 may be different from the width of the action portion 423 and may be adjusted according to the needs of the user, that is, the width of the connection portion 422 may be less than or equal to the width of the action portion 423. When the user wishes to assemble the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 more flexibly, the width of the connection portion 422 may be set to be less than the width of the action portion 423, so that when the user applies the ejector pin 100 to the first surface 425 on the action portion 423, the arc of deformation of the connection portion 422 is larger, and the user does not need to apply a large pressure to the ejector pin 100, and the spring sheet 420 can be deformed and separated from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, and the ejector pin 100 and the spring sheet 420 cooperate more sensitively. When the user hopes that the anti-disassembly performance of the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 is higher, the connecting portion 422 can be set to be equal to or slightly larger than the width of the action portion 423, so that when the user acts on the ejector pin 100 on the action portion 423, the connecting portion 422 is not easily deformed. Then the user needs to apply greater pressure to the ejector pin 100 so that the spring piece 420 can be deformed and separated from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, so that the assembly of the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400 is more secure.

[0037] It is understandable that when the user wishes to separate the doorbell assembly 300 from the base 400, the user can first slide the ejector pin 100 through the through hole 412 and along the first surface 425 to between the doorbell assembly 300 and the base 400. At this time, the protrusion 421 of the spring 420 disengages from the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 302, and then the user can push the doorbell assembly 300 with his hand to push the doorbell assembly 300 in the reverse direction (forward and reverse are opposite directions). At this time, the hook 413 can move from the position held in the second holding groove 4132 to the position of the first holding groove 4131, and the user can then pick up the doorbell assembly 300 from the base 400 to achieve the separation of the doorbell assembly 300 from the base 400.

[0038] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
