[0041] In the related art, as shown in Figure 1 The buckle structure includes a metal plate member 1 having a crack stopping groove 4 and a buckle 2 connected to one side of the metal plate member 1. The side edge of the metal plate member 1 corresponding to the area of the buckle 2 forms an arc surface 3 having a rounded corner, and the side surface of the metal plate member 1 corresponding to the area other than the buckle 2 does not have the arc surface 3, resulting in poor uniformity of the appearance of the metal plate member 1.

[0042] To solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a buckle structure. As shown in Figures 2 to 4 The buckle structure can include a metal plate member 1 and a buckle 2, wherein:

[0043] The metal plate 1 comprises a first plate surface 101 and a second plate surface 102 arranged oppositely, and a plate side surface 103 connected between the first plate surface 101 and the second plate surface 102. The buckle 2 is integrally extended from the first plate surface 101 and comprises a first surface 201 connected with the plate side surface 103.

[0044] The buckle structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure is characterized in that the first plate surface 101 of the metal plate 1 is provided with the buckle 2, so that the metal plate 1 can be installed on the workpiece through the buckle 2; meanwhile, the buckle 2 comprises the first surface 201 connected with the plate side surface 103, and the buckle 2 is integrally extended from the first plate surface 101, so that the appearance of the metal plate 1 is not affected by the buckle 2, and the problem of poor appearance consistency of the metal plate 1 caused by the round corner of the buckle 2 in the related art is solved.

[0045] The parts of the buckle structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail as follows:

[0046] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 the metal plate 1 can be a rectangular plate, of course, it can also be a square plate, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it can also be a circular plate, a trapezoidal plate, a special-shaped plate, etc. The material of the metal plate 1 can be stainless steel, aluminum, etc. The metal plate 1 comprises the first plate surface 101, the second plate surface 102, and the plate side surface 103. The first plate surface 101 and the second plate surface 102 are arranged oppositely, and both the first plate surface 101 and the second plate surface 102 are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the metal plate 1, that is, the metal plate 1 comprises the first plate surface 101 and the second plate surface 102 arranged oppositely in the thickness direction. The plate side surface 103 is connected between the first plate surface 101 and the second plate surface 102. The plate side surface 103 is perpendicular to the first plate surface 101, of course, the plate side surface 103 is also perpendicular to the second plate surface 102. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the plate side surface 103 can also be not perpendicular to the first plate surface 101. The plate side surface 103 can comprise a first plate side surface, a second plate side surface, a third plate side surface, and a fourth plate side surface connected in sequence. Among them, the first plate side surface and the third plate side surface are arranged oppositely, and the second plate side surface and the fourth plate side surface are arranged oppositely. When the workpiece is a sound box device, the metal plate 1 installed on the workpiece is provided with a plurality of sound holes 6, of course, the metal plate 1 can also be provided with a first mounting hole 5 to install a sound box indicator light, a sound box key, etc.

[0047] As shown in Figures 2 to 4As shown, the buckle 2 is arranged on the metal sheet 1. Through the buckle 2, the metal sheet 1 can be conveniently clamped on the workpiece. Among them, the buckle 2 is integrally extended from the first plate surface 101, that is, the buckle 2 and the metal sheet 1 are of an integrated structure, the material of the buckle 2 is the same as that of the metal sheet 1, and the buckle 2 is arranged on the first plate surface 101 of the metal sheet 1. Among them, the extension direction of the buckle 2 can be perpendicular to the first plate surface 101. The buckle 2 includes a first surface 201 connected with the plate side surface 103, that is, the first surface 201 of the buckle 2 is in contact and connected with the plate side surface 103, that is, the first surface 201 of the buckle 2 is integrally extended from the plate side surface 103. Taking the plate side surface 103 including the first plate side surface, the second plate side surface, the third plate side surface and the fourth plate side surface as an example, the first surface 201 of the buckle 2 can be connected with the first plate side surface. The first surface 201 can be perpendicular to the first plate surface 101. Taking the plate side surface 103 perpendicular to the first plate surface 101 as an example, the first surface 201 can be coplanar with the plate side surface 103. Further, the first surface 201 can be coplanar with the first plate side surface.

[0048] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 4 The buckle 2 can be in a plate structure. In the thickness direction of the buckle 2, the buckle 2 can include the first surface 201 and the second surface 202 arranged opposite to the first surface 201, that is, the first surface 201 of the buckle 2 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the buckle 2. Taking the first surface 201 perpendicular to the first plate surface 101 as an example, the second surface 202 can also be perpendicular to the first plate surface 101. Among them, the connection between the second surface 202 and the first plate surface 101 is 90° right angle vertical transition, and there is no round corner at the transition. In addition, the buckle 2 can also include a buckle side surface 203 connected between the first surface 201 and the second surface 202. Among them, the buckle side surface 203 can be perpendicular to the first surface 201, and the buckle side surface 203 is also perpendicular to the second surface 202.

[0049] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 5As shown, in the extension direction of the buckle 2, the buckle 2 may include a first extension segment 205 and a second extension segment 206 connected to each other, and the second extension segment 206 may be located on the side of the first extension segment 205 away from the metal plate 1. The end of the first extension segment 205 away from the second extension segment 206 may be connected to the metal plate 1. The cross-section of the second extension segment 206 may gradually decrease along the direction away from the first extension segment 205, thereby allowing the buckle 2 to be easily inserted into the slot. Taking the buckle 2 as a plate-shaped structure, and the buckle 2 including a first surface 201 and a second surface 202 disposed opposite to each other, and a buckle side surface 203 connecting the first surface 201 and the second surface 202, the portion of the buckle side surface 203 located at the second extension segment 206 may be a smoothly transitioned curved surface, reducing the resistance encountered by the buckle 2 during insertion into the slot, thus making it easier for the buckle 2 to be placed into the slot.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the buckle 2 may also have a neck 204. The neck 204 is located between the two ends of the buckle 2 in the extending direction of the buckle 2. The cross-section of the neck 204 is smaller than the cross-section of the portion of the buckle 2 that contacts the neck 204, that is, the portion of the buckle 2 located at the neck 204 forms a groove. Taking the buckle 2 as a plate-like structure as an example, the thickness of the portion of the buckle 2 that contacts the neck 204 is equal to the thickness of the neck 204, that is, although the cross-section of the neck 204 is reduced, the thickness of the neck 204 is not reduced. Since the neck 204 is formed on the buckle 2, that is, the groove is formed on the buckle 2, the buckle 2 can be prevented from falling out. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the number of necks 204 can be multiple, and they can be distributed at intervals along the extending direction of the buckle 2.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure of this embodiment may further include a bent portion 7 integrally extending from the side surface 103 of the plate. That is, the bent portion 7 and the metal plate 1 are integrally formed, and the material of the bent portion 7 is the same as that of the metal plate 1. The bent portion 7 may also be plate-shaped, but this embodiment does not specifically limit it. Taking the side surface 103 of the plate as having a first plate side surface and a third plate side surface disposed opposite each other, and the first surface 201 of the snap-fit ​​2 being in contact with the first plate side surface as an example, the bent portion 7 may integrally extend from the third plate side surface. Wherein, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the metal plate 1 and parallel to the third plate side surface, the size of the bent portion 7 may be equal to the size of the third plate side surface. Taking the bent portion 7 as a plate-shaped structure as an example, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the metal plate 1 and parallel to the third plate side surface, the bent portion 7 has two opposing end faces, one end face of the bent portion 7 is coplanar with the second plate side surface, and the other end face of the bent portion 7 is coplanar with the fourth plate side surface, so that the size of the bent portion 7 is equal to the size of the third plate side surface. The bent portion 7 and the latch 2 can be located on the same side of the metal plate 1 in the thickness direction, thereby forming a holding space between the bent portion 7 and the latch 2. The extension direction of the bent portion 7 can be the same as the extension direction of the latch 2, or it can be different. For example, if the extension direction of the bent portion 7 is the same as the extension direction of the latch 2 and the extension direction of the latch 2 is perpendicular to the first plate surface 101, the extension direction of the bent portion 7 can also be perpendicular to the first plate surface 101. If the latch 2 has a plate-like structure, the plate-like bent portion 7 can be parallel to the latch 2, that is, the thickness direction of the latch 2 is parallel to the thickness direction of the bent portion 7. By holding the workpiece within the holding space between the latch 2 and the bent portion 7, the metal plate 1 can be securely installed on the workpiece.

[0052] This disclosure also provides an assembly structure. For example... Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 11 As shown, the assembly structure may include a workpiece 8 and a snap-fit ​​structure as described in any of the above embodiments. The workpiece 8 is provided with a slot 801. The snap-fit ​​2 of the snap-fit ​​structure can be snapped into the slot 801. The workpiece 8 may be a workpiece 8 of a speaker device, but this disclosure does not specifically limit it. Since the snap-fit ​​structure included in the assembly structure of this disclosure is the same as the snap-fit ​​structure in the above-described snap-fit ​​structure embodiments, it has the same beneficial effects, and this disclosure will not repeat them here.

[0053] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figures 8 to 11As shown, the workpiece 8 can include an assembly surface 802 and a stop surface 803. The assembly surface 802 can be perpendicular to the stop surface 803. The clamping groove 801 can be provided on the assembly surface 802, that is, the assembly surface 802 has a recess to form the clamping groove 801. After the buckle 2 is buckled on the clamping groove 801, the first plate surface 101 of the metal plate piece 1 cooperates with the assembly surface 802, and the plate piece side surface 103 of the metal plate piece 1 cooperates with the stop surface 803. Taking the plate piece side surface 103 including the oppositely arranged first plate side surface and third plate side surface and the first surface 201 of the buckle 2 abutting the first plate side surface as an example, the plate piece side surface 103 of the metal plate piece 1 cooperates with the stop surface 803, that is, the first plate side surface cooperates with the stop surface 803. Among them, the first plate surface 101 cooperates with the assembly surface 802, that is, the first plate surface 101 abuts on the assembly surface 802; the plate piece side surface 103 of the metal plate piece 1 cooperates with the stop surface 803, that is, the plate piece side surface 103 of the metal plate piece 1 abuts on the stop surface 803. In addition, the stop surface 803 can be provided with a flexible film 9, and the plate piece side surface 103 abuts on the flexible film 9. The flexible film 9 can play a buffering role when the plate piece side surface 103 and the stop surface 803 are extruded with each other, which can avoid the plate piece side surface 103 and the stop surface 803 from being contacted in a hard-to-hard manner. The flexible film 9 can be soft fabric, of course, it can also be rubber products and the like. In addition, the workpiece 8 can also be provided with a second mounting hole 804. After the buckle 2 is buckled on the clamping groove 801 of the workpiece 8, the second mounting hole 804 communicates with the first mounting hole 5 to jointly accommodate the sound box indicator light, the sound box key and the like.

[0054] As shown, Figure 10 Taking the buckle structure including the above-mentioned bending part 7 as an example, after the buckle 2 is buckled on the clamping groove 801 of the workpiece 8, part of the area of the workpiece 8 is located in the clamping space between the bending part 7 and the buckle 2. Further, taking the buckle 2 including the oppositely arranged first surface 201 and second surface 202 as an example, after the buckle 2 is buckled on the clamping groove 801 of the workpiece 8, there is a gap between the second surface 202 of the buckle 2 and the side wall of the buckle 2, that is, in the thickness direction of the buckle 2, the size of the clamping groove 801 is greater than the size of the buckle 2. There is a gap between the second surface 202 of the buckle 2 and the side wall of the buckle 2, which can facilitate the installation of the buckle structure and the workpiece 8, and at the same time can provide a certain degree of freedom for the buckle structure installed on the workpiece 8, avoiding damage to the buckle structure when subjected to extrusion force.

[0055] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure in any form. Although the present disclosure has been disclosed as the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and the equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes are obtained. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure.
