Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of workpiece connection and positioning, and in particular to a connection positioning piece. Background Art

[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Claws and buckles are relatively common connection and positioning parts. Compared with threaded connections, they are simpler to install, and claws and buckles can be integrally formed with the workpiece to be connected, reducing the number of parts.

[0004] Common mushroom-shaped buckles have a simple structure, but they can only achieve simple, rough horizontal positioning. Vertical positioning is easily affected by machining accuracy, and even after engagement, force can still cause horizontal or vertical wobble. Other claw buckles that can achieve precise connection and positioning in both horizontal and vertical directions are more complex, increasing production costs and processing difficulties.

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an element centered thereon. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an element centered thereon. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiments.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] An embodiment of the present invention provides a connection positioning member for simultaneously limiting and fixing workpieces to be connected in the vertical and horizontal directions H. The workpieces to be connected can be any structure having a mounting hole structure, such as a plate, sheet, ring, block, etc.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the connection and positioning member of the embodiment of the present invention may include: a base 1 having a mounting surface 101, a clamping component 2 and a limiting component 3 disposed on the mounting surface 101. The clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3 may be inserted into the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected, or the workpiece 4 to be connected may be sleeved onto the clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3. The clamping component 2 can be used to position the workpiece 4 to be connected in the vertical direction V, and the limiting component 3 cooperates with the clamping component 2 to position the workpiece 4 to be connected in the horizontal direction H.

[0034] The base 1 is generally in the shape of a plate or sheet, and has at least an upper and a lower surface relative to each other. According to the change of the orientation in actual use, the setting surface 101 can be the upper surface or the lower surface of the base 1, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the vertical direction V may be a direction perpendicular to the installation surface 101 of the base 1, and the horizontal direction H may be a direction parallel to the installation surface 101. It is worth noting that the definitions of the vertical direction V and the horizontal direction H in this specification are merely for the convenience of illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and do not limit the directions of the connection and positioning members of the embodiment of the present invention in other scenarios including but not limited to use, testing, transportation, and manufacturing, which may cause the connection and positioning members to be reversed or changed in position.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the specific way in which the clamping component 2 realizes the positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected in the vertical direction V is that the clamping component 2 has a clamping surface 201 facing the base 1, and the clamping surface 201 can limit the workpiece 4 to be connected between the clamping surface 201 and the setting surface 101, so that the workpiece 4 to be connected is limited along the vertical direction V. In other words, the workpiece 4 to be connected can be clamped between the clamping surface 201 of the clamping component 2 and the setting surface 101 of the base 1. Thereby, the freedom of movement of the workpiece 4 to be connected in the vertical direction V is suppressed, thereby realizing the positioning and fixation in the vertical direction V. The specific way in which the limiting component 3 cooperates with the clamping component 2 to realize the positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected in the horizontal direction H is that the limiting component 3 cooperates with the clamping component 2 to press against the side of the workpiece 4 to be connected, so that the workpiece 4 to be connected is limited along the horizontal direction H.

[0037] Continue reading Figure 2 As shown, the clamping component 2 may include a clamping column 202 disposed on the mounting surface 101 and extending away from the mounting surface 101, and a clamping protrusion 203 formed on the outer wall of the clamping column 202 and extending outwardly in a direction parallel to the mounting surface 101. Specifically, the clamping column 202 extends in a vertical direction V, and the clamping protrusion 203 extends in a horizontal direction H. When the workpiece 4 to be connected is sleeved between the clamping component 2 and the retaining component 3, the outer wall of the clamping column 202 can abut against the side surface of the workpiece 4 to be connected (specifically, the inner wall of the mounting hole 401), and the surface of the clamping protrusion 203 facing the base 1 forms a clamping surface 201.

[0038] The outer wall of the clamping column 202 is curved. When the workpiece 4 to be connected is placed outside the clamping column 202 and the limiting component 3, the outer wall of the clamping column 202 can fit snugly against the inner wall of the workpiece 4 to be connected. This increases the contact area between the clamping column 202 and the workpiece 4 to be connected, better achieving horizontal positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected.

[0039] Of course, the above embodiment corresponds to an embodiment in which the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected is a circular hole. In other scenarios, when the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected is non-circular, such as a square hole, a polygonal hole, an elliptical hole, a special-shaped hole, etc., the outer side wall of the clamping column 202 can be adapted to change.

[0040] The latching protrusion 203 is preferably integrally formed with the latching post 202. Specifically, the latching protrusion 203 may be formed by a protruding outer wall of the end (outer end) of the latching post 202 facing away from the base 1. This provides a strong connection or bonding strength between the latching protrusion 203 and the latching post 202, minimizing disconnection between the latching protrusion 203 and the latching post 202.

[0041] Furthermore, the surface of the latching protrusion 203 facing away from the base 1 is inclined to form a first sliding surface 2031, which allows the workpiece 4 to slide. Furthermore, the latching post 202 can be made of a flexible and elastic material, allowing it to swing or rock parallel to the mounting surface 101. Specifically, the latching post 202 and the latching protrusion 203 are integrally constructed and can be made of plastic. This allows the latching post 202 to bend horizontally. In this way, when the workpiece 4 to be connected needs to be sleeved on the outside of the clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3, the workpiece 4 to be connected can slide on the first sliding surface 2031, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected touches the first sliding surface 2031. Under the action of this contact, the clamping column 202 shrinks and deforms inwards. After the clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3 pass through the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected, the clamping column 202 rebounds to restore its original shape, so that the clamping surface 201 presses or touches the surface of the workpiece 4 to be connected, thereby achieving the positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected. In this way, the friction between the workpiece 4 to be connected and the clamping protrusion 203 can be reduced, and the workpiece 4 to be connected can be prevented from being stuck during the installation process, ensuring that the workpiece 4 to be connected can be smoothly positioned and installed.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component 3 may include at least two ribs 301 disposed approximately perpendicular to the setting surface 101. The term "approximately" may be understood as being close to, or being within a predetermined range of, a target value. Specifically, if the angle between the rib 301 and the setting surface 101 differs from 90° by a range of [0°, 10°], that is, if the angle between the rib 301 and the setting surface 101 is between 80° and 100°, the rib 301 may be considered perpendicular to the setting surface 101.

[0043] The number of ribs 301 can be two or more. Moreover, at least two ribs 301 can be arranged in parallel or not in parallel, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, there are two ribs 301, and the two ribs 301 are arranged in parallel. The rib 301 has an inner end close to the clamping part 2 (such as Figure 2 The left end shown in FIG) and the limiting outer end 3011 facing away from the clamping member 2 (as shown in FIG) Figure 2 The inner ends of the two ribs 301 are in contact with or connected to the clamping posts 202 of the clamping component 2 (as shown in the right end).

[0044] When the workpiece 4 to be connected is placed outside the clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3, the limiting outer ends 3011 of at least two ribs 301 can abut the side surface of the workpiece 4 to be connected (specifically, the inner wall of the mounting hole 401). In this way, the inner wall of the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected is abutted by the clamping column 202 and the ribs 301, thereby suppressing its freedom of movement in the horizontal direction H, and thus horizontally positioning the workpiece 4 to be connected.

[0045] Similarly, the end face of the limiting outer end 3011 is arc-shaped. In this way, when the workpiece 4 to be connected is sleeved outside the clamping column 202 and the limiting component 3, the end face of the limiting outer end 3011 can fit the inner side wall of the workpiece 4 to be connected. In this way, the contact area between the rib 301 and the workpiece 4 to be connected can be increased, and the horizontal position of the workpiece 4 to be connected can be better achieved. The end of the limiting outer end 3011 facing away from the base 1 (such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper end (shown as an example) of the workpiece 4 to be connected has a smooth transition surface to form a second sliding surface 3012 for sliding movement of the workpiece 4 to be connected. Thus, when the workpiece 4 to be connected needs to be placed outside the clamping member 2 and the limiting member 3, the inner wall of the mounting hole 401 of the workpiece 4 to be connected can slide on the smooth second sliding surface 3012, reducing the installation resistance of the workpiece 4 to be connected and achieving smooth positioning and installation of the workpiece 4 to be connected.

[0046] In the connection positioning member of the embodiment of the present invention, the clamping component 2 having the clamping surface 201 can realize the positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected in the vertical direction V, and the limiting component 3 cooperating with the clamping component 2 can realize the positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected in the horizontal direction H. Therefore, with the connection positioning member of the embodiment of the present invention, precise connection positioning of the workpiece 4 to be connected can be achieved simultaneously in the horizontal direction H and the vertical direction V.

[0047] Furthermore, the connection positioning member of the embodiment of the present invention arranges the clamping component 2 and the limiting component 3 on the base 1, and the overall structure is relatively simple, easy to process, convenient to assemble, and highly practical.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used solely for descriptive purposes and to distinguish similar objects. There is no order of precedence between the two, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0049] The above descriptions are only several embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the embodiments of the present invention based on the contents disclosed in the application documents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
