[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 6 , an embodiment of the present application provides a buckle assembly, comprising a buckle body 10 and an adjustment mechanism 20, wherein the buckle body 10 and the adjustment mechanism 20 are detachably connected;

[0042] The buckle body 10 includes a base 11 and a buckle panel 12. The base 11 is fixedly connected to a first end of the buckle panel 12, and the base 11 is detachably connected to a second end of the buckle panel 12. The base 11 and the buckle panel 12 cooperate to form a ring structure.

[0043] The adjusting mechanism 20 is detachably connected to the base 11 and includes a rotating shaft 21 and a gear 22. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the gear 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 21. The buckle panel 12 is provided with at least one convex tooth 121 that engages with the gear 22. The rotating shaft 21 drives the gear 22 to rotate, and the gear 22 drives the convex tooth 121 to move and change the circumference of the annular structure.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the base 11 is configured to carry the snap-on panel 12 and the adjustment mechanism 20. The snap-on panel 12 is configured to cooperate with the base 11 to form an annular structure, thereby fixing one or more wire harnesses. The adjustment mechanism 20 can adjust the circumference of the annular structure, thereby adjusting annular structures of different sizes according to different types of wire harnesses or different numbers of wire harnesses, thereby ensuring that the fixation of the wire harness is more stable and reliable. Specifically, the setting of the rotating shaft 21 can drive the gear 22 to rotate, and at least one convex tooth 121 on the snap-on panel 12 can cooperate with the gear 22 to adjust the circumference of the annular structure, thereby adjusting a better fixed circumference as needed, thereby ensuring that the wire harness is fixed stably and reliably. The embodiment of the present application has the beneficial effect of making the wire harness fixation more stable and reliable, and having a strong versatility.

[0045] It should be noted that when the wiring harness is single, the annular structure can be a circular ring or a structure approximately circular, and the diameter of the annular structure can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 20, so that the diameter can be better fixed, making the annular structure more adapted to the size of the wiring harness, thereby ensuring the stability of the wiring harness fixation.

[0046] It should be noted that the snap-on panel 12 is made of a flexible material or a material with a certain elastic deformation, so that the annular structure can be adaptively deformed according to different fixing working conditions.

[0047] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the gear 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, or the gear 22 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 21 via a key.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the above structure can make the gear 22 rotate with the rotating shaft 21, ensuring that after the gear 22 is engaged with the convex tooth 121, the circumference or diameter of the annular structure can be changed under the drive of the rotating shaft 21. Among them, after the gear 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, the fixation of the gear 22 and the rotating shaft 21 can be more stable and reliable. After the gear 22 and the rotating shaft 21 are detachably connected by a key, the assembly of the gear 22 and the rotating shaft 21 can be facilitated, and at the same time, partial replacement can be performed after some parts are damaged, saving costs. The key can be a flat key or a spline, and is specifically set according to needs, as long as the relative rotation of the gear 22 and the rotating shaft 21 can be avoided.

[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 21 slides relative to the base 11 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21 , and the gear 22 slides along with the rotating shaft 21 ;

[0050] After the gear 22 slides to the first position, the gear 22 is engaged with the protruding teeth 121 . After the gear 22 slides to the second position, the gear 22 is separated from the protruding teeth 121 .

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, after the rotating shaft 21 in the above structure slides in the axial direction relative to the base 11, the rotating shaft 21 can have a certain sliding margin. Combined with the gear 22 sliding with the rotating shaft 21, the position of the gear 22 can be adjusted as needed. For example, after the gear 22 slides to the first position, the gear 22 engages with the convex teeth 121, and then the snap-on panel 12 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 21, thereby adjusting the circumference or diameter of the annular structure; after the gear 22 slides to the second position, the gear 22 separates from the convex teeth 121, which can prevent the rotation of the rotating shaft 21 from driving the convex teeth 121 to move. At this time, without the engagement of the gear 22, the snap-on panel 12 with the convex teeth 121 will have a certain movable margin, which facilitates the disassembly of the snap-on panel 12.

[0052] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 20 further includes an elastic member 23 , a first end of the elastic member 23 is connected to the base 11 , and a second end of the elastic member 23 abuts against the rotating shaft 21 or the gear 22 .

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the elastic member 23 can reset the position of the gear 22, and can be reset to the first position or the second position as needed. The drawings of this application disclose an embodiment of resetting to the second position. By providing the elastic member 23, the position of the gear 22 can be kept in the second position under normal conditions. When the snap-on panel 12 needs to be adjusted, it can be adjusted to the first position by external force. Then, the snap-on panel 12 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 21, thereby adjusting the circumference or diameter of the annular structure.

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 20 further includes a cotter pin 24 and an elastic member 23, wherein the cotter pin 24 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the cotter pin 24 cooperates with the rotating shaft 21 to form a rotating shaft 21 rod, and the rotating shaft 21 rod is rotatably connected to the base 11;

[0055] The first end of the elastic member 23 is connected to the base 11 , and the second end of the elastic member 23 abuts against the rotating shaft 21 or the gear 22 ;

[0056] An adjustment hole is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 21 close to the cotter pin 24 , and the cotter pin 24 is at least partially located in the adjustment hole.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the elastic member 23 in the above-described structure can reset the position of the gear 22, either to the first position or the second position as needed. The provision of the cotter pin 24 and the elastic member 23 allows the gear 22 to be positioned in the second position under normal conditions. When the snap-on panel 12 needs to be adjusted, the cotter pin 24 moves deeper into the adjustment hole. After being adjusted to the first position by external force, the snap-on panel 12 can be adjusted by rotating the shaft 21, thereby adjusting the circumference or diameter of the annular structure.

[0058] It should be noted that the above structure describes two ways of cooperating between the rotating shaft 21 and the elastic member 23. In the direct cooperating arrangement between the rotating shaft 21 and the elastic member 23, when the gear 22 is adjusted to the first position, the rotating shaft 21 will at least partially protrude from the base 11. In the cooperating arrangement between the rotating shaft 21, the cotter pin 24, and the elastic member 23, the relative sleeve arrangement of the cotter pin 24 and the rotating shaft 21 prevents the rotating shaft 21 from at least partially protruding from the base 11 after adjustment.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 23 is configured as a compression spring.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, a compression spring can be mounted on the rotating shaft 21 or the cotter pin 24 as needed, thereby making the arrangement of the elastic member 23 more stable and reliable. The elastic member 23 can be configured as a spring sheet or a spring tube as needed. Alternatively, the elastic member 23 can be replaced by a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other structure as needed, and then connected to the rotating shaft 21 in conjunction with a motor to achieve automated control of the buckle assembly.

[0061] Optionally, a screw cap 25 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 21 away from the base 11 .

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the screw cap 25 can facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. When the gear 22 is engaged with the protruding teeth 121, the annular structure can be adjusted by rotating the screw cap 25. The screw cap 25 can be butterfly-shaped, disc-shaped, or have other knob structures.

[0063] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the buckle enclosure 12 is provided with a scale value, and the base 11 is provided with a scale ruler 111;

[0064] After the scale value is matched with the scale ruler 111 , the value of the diameter or circumference of the annular structure is the scale value.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the scale value and the scale ruler 111 are matched to adjust the ring structure more accurately and ensure the adjustment accuracy. The specific numerical unit, adjustment accuracy and adjustment range are set as needed and adapted according to the size of the buckle assembly.

[0066] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the portion of the base 11 located at the scale 111 is configured as a transparent structure, or a slot is provided at the scale 111 .

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of a transparent structure or slot can facilitate observation of the scale value. Specifically, the transparent structure or slot can be provided as needed, as long as it can facilitate observation of the scale value.

[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a snap-fitting channel is provided on the base 11, a first side of the snap-fitting channel is fixedly connected to a first end of the snap-fitting panel 12, and a second end of the snap-fitting panel 12 is passed through the snap-fitting channel from a second side of the snap-fitting channel;

[0069] The adjustment mechanism 20 is at least partially located in the engaging channel.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the snap-fit ​​channel can make the base 11 and the snap-fitting panel 12 fit more tightly. When the adjustment mechanism 20 is at least partially in the snap-fitting channel, the adjustment mechanism 20 can adjust the snap-fitting panel 12 more conveniently.

[0071] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the buckle enclosure 12 is provided with at least one first ratchet tooth 13 on an inner side relative to the annular structure, and the base 11 is provided with at least one second ratchet tooth 14 adapted to the first ratchet tooth 13 at a position opposite to the first ratchet tooth 13;

[0072] After the first ratchet teeth 13 and the second ratchet teeth 14 are engaged, the base 11 and the buckle enclosure 12 are locked relative to each other.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the coordinated arrangement of the first ratchet teeth 13 and the second ratchet teeth 14 can temporarily lock the snap-on panel 12 and the base 11. The number of the first ratchet teeth 13 and the second ratchet teeth 14 can be set according to actual needs. The locking direction can also be set as needed. In this embodiment, the annular structure is movable when shrinking and locked when expanding in the opposite direction. It can only be unlocked when an external force causes the first ratchet teeth 13 and the second ratchet teeth 14 to separate from each other.
