[0035] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, a buckle 100 is provided, comprising: a buckle body 110; a connecting seat 120 connected to the buckle body 110, the connecting seat 120 comprising: an elastic member 121, a connecting portion 122 and an installation portion 123, the installation portion 123 is connected to the buckle body 110, and the connecting portion 122 is connected to both sides of the installation portion 123 through the elastic member 121.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the buckle 100 is provided with a buckle body 110 and a connecting seat 120, and the buckle 100 is connected to the connector 200 through the connecting seat 120, and is connected to the vehicle through the buckle body 110. Further, the connecting seat 120 is provided with an elastic member 121, a connecting portion 122 and a mounting portion 123, wherein the mounting portion 123 is connected to the buckle body 110, and the connecting portion 122 is connected to both sides of the mounting portion 123 through the elastic member 121, and the connecting portion 122 is used to be connected to the connector 200 along the width direction of the connector 200. In this way, the distance between the connecting portion 122 and the mounting portion 123 on one side is changed by adjusting the size of the elastic member 121, and then the spacing of the connecting portion 122 is changed to adapt to connectors 200 of different widths, thereby improving the application scope of the buckle 100. In the development and design process of the connector 200, there is no need to consider the size of the buckle 100 too much, thereby improving the development efficiency.

[0039] It can be understood that during use, two grooves 210 are provided in the width direction of the connector 200. By adjusting the spacing of the connecting parts 122, the connecting parts 122 on both sides of the mounting part 123 are respectively inserted into the grooves 210, so that the buckle 100 is connected to the connector 200, and the spacing of the connecting parts 122 can be changed by adjusting the size of the elastic member 121, so as to adapt to the connector 200 with different spacings of the grooves 210.

[0040] It is understandable that the elastic member 121 can be a structure with good elasticity such as a spring. In order to ensure a stable connection, the buckle 100 is more suitable for a connector 200 with a smaller spacing between the slots 210, so that the elastic member 121 is kept in a compressed state. The elastic member 121's own tension ensures that the connection part 122 and the slot 210 of the connector 200 are firmly connected to prevent separation.

[0041] Exemplarily, a sliding groove is provided on a side of the connecting portion 122 away from the mounting portion 123, and the connector 200 is provided with a sliding rail. Through the connection between the sliding groove and the sliding rail, the connecting portion 122 is slidably connected to the connector 200 to facilitate position adjustment.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 121 is a bent elastic sheet, and the bending angle of the elastic sheet is 60 degrees to 120 degrees.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the elastic member 121 is a bent elastic sheet. Compared with the elastic members 121 of other structures, the manufacturing process is simpler, and the same material as the buckle 100 can be selected for preparation, and can be integrally formed. A plurality of elastic sheets are arranged between the connecting portion 122 and the mounting portion 123 to ensure that the elastic sheet is uniformly stressed when compressed, and the deformation of the elastic sheet remains consistent, and to avoid the situation where the elastic member 121 is too few and exceeds the yield limit when compressed, resulting in permanent deformation.

[0044] The bending angle of the elastic sheet is 60 to 120 degrees. It can be understood that when the elastic sheet is in a normal state, the bending angle is 120 degrees. When the elastic sheet is compressed to the limit position, the bending angle is 60 degrees. Assuming the total length of the elastic sheet is L, it can be calculated according to the sine trigonometric function that when the bending angle is 120 degrees, the unilateral spacing between the connecting portion 122 and the mounting portion 123 is 0.866L, and when the bending angle is 60 degrees, the unilateral spacing between the connecting portion 122 and the mounting portion 123 is 0.5L. It can be obtained that when the bending angle of the elastic sheet changes from 120 degrees to 60 degrees, the unilateral spacing between the connecting portion 122 and the mounting portion 123 changes by 0.366L, and the spacing between the connecting portion 122 changes by 0.732L. Within this range of variation, the buckle 100 can ensure the connection effect with the connector 200 while ensuring structural stability, thereby improving the scope of application of the buckle 100.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting portion 123 includes a slot 124 , and the slot 124 is located at a side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110 .

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the mounting portion 123 is provided with a card slot 124. It can be understood that during use, the connector 200 is provided with a hook 220. By setting the card slot 124 on the side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110, the card slot 124 and the hook 220 are matched to connect the connector 200 and the buckle 100. When assembling the connector 200 and the buckle 100, first insert the connecting portion 122 of the buckle 100 into the groove body 210 of the connector 200, and slide the buckle 100 so that the hook 220 is aligned with the position of the card slot 124, and the hook 220 is engaged in the card slot 124 to fix the connector 200 and the buckle 100, avoid separation of the buckle 100 and the connector 200, and further improve the connection stability.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are a plurality of the slots 124 , and the plurality of slots 124 are arranged on a side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110 .

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the mounting portion 123 is provided with a plurality of card slots 124, and the plurality of card slots 124 are arranged in a trapezoidal shape on a side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110. With such a configuration, even if the positions of the hooks 220 of different connectors 200 change, there are card slots 124 to engage with them, and the buckle 100 will not slide too much relative to the connector 200, thereby increasing the contact area between the connecting portion 122 and the slot body 210, making the connection between the buckle 100 and the connector 200 more stable, and the buckle 100 is applicable to a variety of connectors 200, thereby improving applicability.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the buckle 100 further includes: a clamping seat 130 sleeved at the connection between the buckle body 110 and the connecting seat 120 .

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the buckle 100 is also provided with a socket 130. Specifically, the socket 130 is sleeved at the connection between the buckle body 110 and the connecting socket 120. It can be understood that after the buckle 100 and the connector 200 are assembled, the buckle 100 needs to be fixed in the whole vehicle environment through the buckle body 110 so that the connector 200 is fixed in the whole vehicle environment. During use, the sheet metal of the vehicle is provided with an assembly hole, and the shape and size of the assembly hole match the buckle body 110, so that part of the buckle body 110 is passed through the assembly hole and clamped to the sheet metal, and the socket 130 abuts against the surface of the sheet metal, thereby providing support force to make the connection more stable.

[0051] It can be understood that the shape of the socket 130 is a truncated cone, the smaller end face is mounted at the connection between the buckle body 110 and the connecting seat 120, and the larger end face is used to abut against the surface of the sheet metal to increase the contact area and provide more supporting force.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the buckle body 110 includes: a buckle portion 111 connected to the connecting seat 120; a buckle body 112 disposed on both sides of the buckle portion 111, and the end of the buckle body 112 close to the connecting seat 120 is stepped.

[0053] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the buckle body 110 is provided with a clamping portion 111 and a buckle body 112. Specifically, one end of the clamping portion 111 is connected to the connecting seat 120, and the buckle body 112 is arranged on both sides of the clamping portion 111, and the buckle body 112 is elastic and can be gathered toward the side close to the clamping portion 111. When the buckle 100 is assembled on the sheet metal of the vehicle, when the clamping portion 111 passes through the assembly hole of the sheet metal, the buckle body 112 is squeezed and contracted by the sheet metal and gathered toward one side of the clamping portion 111. When the buckle body 112 has completely passed through the assembly hole, the buckle body 112 is unfolded again, thereby preventing the sheet metal and the buckle 100 from separating.

[0054] It can be understood that the end of the buckle body 112 close to the connecting seat 120 is set in a step shape, and the step gradually decreases from top to bottom. With this arrangement, each step surface can form a snap-on surface, thereby increasing the number of snap-on surfaces of the buckle body 112 to be suitable for sheet metal parts of various thicknesses, thereby improving the applicability of the buckle 100.

[0055] Exemplarily, the end of the buckle body 112 close to the connecting seat 120 may be provided with three steps, thereby forming four step surfaces, so as to clamp at least four thicknesses of sheet metal parts.

[0056] In an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a connector 200 is provided, comprising: any one of the above-mentioned buckles 100. Therefore, all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned connector 200 are achieved, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] In an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, the connector 200 further includes: a slot body 210 for connecting to the connecting portion 122 .

[0058] In this embodiment, two grooves 210 are provided in the width direction of the connector 200, which are respectively connected to the connecting parts 122 on both sides of the mounting part 123. During use, the size of the elastic member 121 of the buckle 100 is adjusted according to the spacing between the two grooves 210 of the connector 200. Specifically, the elastic member 121 can be compressed, and the spacing between the connecting parts 122 is adjusted so that one end of the connecting part 122 is inserted into the groove 210 to push the connecting part 122 to increase the contact area between the connecting part 122 and the groove 210 and increase the connection stability. The elastic member 121 can rebound by its own tension so that the connecting part 122 can abut against the bottom of the groove 210, thereby making the connection between the buckle 100 and the connector 200 more stable.

[0059] In an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, when the mounting portion 123 includes a card slot 124 and the card slot 124 is located on a side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110 , the connector 200 further includes: a hook 220 for engaging with the card slot 124 .

[0060] In this embodiment, when the mounting portion 123 includes a card slot 124, and the card slot 124 is located on a side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110, the connector 200 is also provided with a hook 220. Specifically, the hook 220 is arranged on the end face of the connector 200 close to the buckle 100 and is located between the two slot bodies 210. During use, when the mounting portion 123 is provided with a card slot 124, the connecting portion 122 is inserted into the slot body 210 and moved, so that the hook 220 is engaged in the card slot 124, thereby making the connection between the connector 200 and the buckle 100 stable; when the mounting portion 123 is provided with multiple card slots 124, and the card slots 124 are arranged in a trapezoidal shape on the side of the mounting portion 123 away from the buckle body 110, the connecting portion 122 is inserted into the slot body 210 and moved, and the card slot 124 at a suitable position is selected according to the position of the card hook 220, so that when the card hook 220 is engaged in the card slot 124, the contact area between the connecting portion 122 and the slot body 210 is maximized, thereby ensuring the best connection effect between the connector 200 and the buckle 100.

[0061] In an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, comprising: a connector 200 as described in any one of the above items; and a sheet metal component, wherein the connector 200 is connected to the sheet metal component via a snap body 110 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the vehicle includes any of the connectors 200 described above, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the connectors 200 described above, which will not be described in detail here. The vehicle is also provided with a sheet metal part, and the connector 200 is connected to the sheet metal part through the buckle body 110, so that the connector 200 is fixed to the vehicle. The sheet metal part is provided with an assembly hole, and the shape and size of the assembly hole match the clamping part 111 of the buckle body 110. During the assembly process, when the buckle bodies 112 arranged on both sides of the clamping part 111 pass through the assembly holes of the sheet metal part, the buckle bodies 112 are squeezed and contracted by the sheet metal part and gathered toward one side of the clamping part 111. When the buckle bodies 112 are completely passed through the assembly holes, the buckle bodies 112 are re-expanded to prevent the sheet metal part and the buckle 100 from separating.
