Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a double-locking positioning assembly and connecting device. Background Technology

[0002] The seat belt system in a vehicle is used to restrain occupants and protect them in the event of braking, collision, rear-end collision, or other incidents.

[0003] Most existing vehicles have at least two seatbelt buckles in the rear seats, and these two buckles are often secured to the vehicle via the same connecting device. The existing seatbelt buckle connecting device uses mounting brackets to secure the right-side bracket and the center bracket, and the right-side bracket and the center bracket, respectively, secure the rear right lock and the rear center lock.

[0004] However, if the rear seats are narrow, the child seat will obstruct the rear center lock after installation, making it impossible to use the seat belt. If the rear center lock is connected to the mounting bracket with a flexible material, the flexible material cannot provide strong support for the rear center lock, which may cause the lock to become embedded in the seat cushion during use and be difficult to remove, thus affecting its usability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a double-locking positioning component and a connecting device to address the problem of limited effectiveness of the aforementioned connecting device.

[0006] A double-locking positioning assembly, comprising:

[0007] The positioning unit has a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove arranged side by side on its top surface, and a first opening and a second opening arranged side by side on its bottom surface. The first receiving groove is connected to the first opening, and the second receiving groove is connected to the second receiving groove.

[0008] The aforementioned double-lock positioning assembly can accommodate and support the two locks through the first and second receiving slots, respectively, so that the locks will not be difficult to remove due to sinking into the seat cushion during use, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the locks and their aesthetic appearance on the vehicle body. In addition, since the top surfaces of the two locks located in the first and second receiving slots can be on the same plane, the aesthetic appearance of the two locks after installation can be further guaranteed.

[0009] In one embodiment, the positioning unit has a mounting port on its side, which connects the first receiving groove and the first through port in the middle.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the latch can be inserted into the first receiving groove through the mounting port opened on the side.

[0011] In one embodiment, the double-locking positioning assembly further includes a limiting unit disposed within the mounting port or the first through port.

[0012] In the above embodiments, the latch located in the first receiving groove can be positioned by the positioning unit to enhance its stability in the first receiving groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the positioning unit includes a positioning element and a support element. The positioning element is disposed on the support element, the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove are both disposed on the top surface of the positioning element, and the first opening and the second opening are both disposed on the bottom surface of the positioning element.

[0014] In the above embodiments, the support element can support the positioning element without affecting the cooperation between the first receiving groove and the first opening and the second receiving groove and the second opening, so that after the positioning unit supports and positions the two latches, both latches can be exposed on the outside of the seat cushion for user use.

[0015] In one embodiment, the top surface of the positioning element and the bottom surface of the support element have an angle.

[0016] In the above embodiments, when the bottom surface of the support element abuts against the sheet metal of the vehicle body to support the positioning element, both buckles can be exposed on the outside of the seat cushion in a tilted state relative to the sheet metal of the vehicle body, making it easier for the user to use the buckles to fix the seat belt.

[0017] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the bottom surface of the support element is greater than the area of ​​the top surface of the support element, but less than the area of ​​the top surface of the positioning element.

[0018] In the above embodiments, by maximizing the area of ​​the bottom surface of the support element, the contact area between the bottom surface of the support element and the body sheet metal can be ensured, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support element on the positioning element.

[0019] In one embodiment, the support element includes a first support unit and a second support unit, the first support unit being disposed between the positioning element and the second support unit, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first support unit being smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second support unit.

[0020] In the above embodiments, by making the cross-sectional area of ​​the first support unit smaller than that of the second support unit, the second support unit can still maintain the support effect on the positioning element without blocking the first and second openings.

[0021] In one embodiment, the positioning element is made of a flexible material.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the flexible material's soft and deformable properties facilitate the installation of the latch into the positioning unit and ensure that the latch and the positioning unit are tightly abutted, thus guaranteeing the positioning unit's fixing effect on the latch.

[0023] A connecting device includes a connecting component and the aforementioned double-locking positioning component. The first receiving groove of the positioning unit is used to receive a first lock, which is connected to the connecting component via a connector. The second receiving groove of the positioning unit is used to receive a second lock, which is connected to the connecting component via a flexible member.

[0024] The aforementioned connecting device can be fixed to the vehicle body sheet metal via connecting components, thereby fixing the first and second latches to the vehicle body.

[0025] In one embodiment, the flexible member is detachably disposed on the connecting assembly, and the connecting member is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the detachable connection facilitates the replacement of flexible components, and the rotatable connection allows the second latch to rotate towards the front of the vehicle, making it convenient for workers to install the positioning component.

[0027] In one embodiment, the connection assembly is provided with a snap fastener for securing the 5-wire signal connector.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the signal wire connector is fixed by a clip so that the signal wire connector can be electrically connected to the first latch and the second latch and the vehicle alarm system. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0059] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0060] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0061] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0062] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0063] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0064] Cars typically have at least two side-by-side rear seats, connected by a single device that secures two seatbelt buckles to each seat. When using a child seat, it must be placed on the seat. If the seat width is smaller than the child seat width, the child seat will press down on the buckles, obstructing them and preventing the seatbelts from being secured.

[0065] Therefore, existing rear seatbelt buckles typically connect to flexible straps, allowing for a certain range of movement and preventing them from being obstructed by child seats. However, because the flexible straps cannot provide strong support for the buckles, they may become difficult to remove during use due to sinking into the seat cushion, or they may protrude from the seat cushion, exposing the seat frame or body panels. This not only affects the usability of the buckles but also their aesthetic appearance on the vehicle body.

[0066] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a positioning unit for supporting and positioning the buckle, ensuring that the buckle connected to the connecting strap will not become difficult to remove due to sinking into the seat cushion during use, nor will it expose the seat frame or body sheet metal due to protruding from the seat cushion.

[0067] See Figures 1-3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a double-locking positioning assembly, including a positioning unit 1. The top surface of the positioning unit 1 has a first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 14 arranged side-by-side, and the bottom surface of the positioning unit 1 has a first through-hole 15 and a second through-hole 16 arranged side-by-side. The first receiving groove 13 communicates with the first through-hole 15, and the second receiving groove 14 communicates with the second through-hole 16. The first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 14 are respectively used to receive a first lock 4 and a second lock 6. The first through-hole 15 and the second through-hole 16 are respectively used to assist in fixing the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 to the connecting assembly 3, so that the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 are fixed to the vehicle body by the connecting assembly 3.

[0068] Specifically, the top and bottom surfaces of the positioning unit 1 are respectively provided with a first receiving groove 13 and a first opening 15 that are connected to each other. The size of the first receiving groove 13 is adapted to the size of the first latch 4. When the first latch 4 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the outer peripheral surface of the first latch 4 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the first receiving groove 13. More specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 The first buckle 4 includes a first fixing part 41 for connecting with the seat belt and a first connecting part 42 for connecting with the connecting assembly 3. When the first fixing part 41 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the outer peripheral surface of the first fixing part 41 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the first receiving groove 13, and the first connecting part 42 passes through the first opening 15.

[0069] See Figures 1-3 The positioning unit 1 has a second receiving groove 14 and a second opening 16 connected to each other on its top and bottom surfaces, respectively. The size of the second receiving groove 14 is adapted to the size of the second latch 6. When the second latch 6 is located in the second receiving groove 14, the outer peripheral surface of the second latch 6 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the second receiving groove 14. More specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 6 The second buckle 6 includes a second fixing part 61 for connecting with the seat belt and a second connecting part 62 for connecting with the connecting assembly 3. When the second fixing part 61 is located in the second receiving groove 14, the outer peripheral surface of the second fixing part 61 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the second receiving groove 14, and the second connecting part 62 passes through the second opening 16.

[0070] Additionally, see Figure 3 The distance d1 from the opening of the first receiving groove 13 to the first through-hole 15 is the same as the distance d2 from the opening of the second receiving groove 14 to the second through-hole 16. This ensures that after the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 are respectively fixed in the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 14, the installation method of the first latch 4 in the first receiving groove 13 and the installation method of the second latch 6 in the second receiving groove 14 can be exactly the same, thereby ensuring that the top surfaces of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 can be located on the same plane, ensuring the aesthetic neatness of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 after installation.

[0071] The aforementioned double-locking positioning assembly can accommodate and support the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 through the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 14 respectively, ensuring that the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 will not be difficult to remove during use due to sinking into the seat cushion, thus guaranteeing the usability of the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 and their aesthetic appearance on the vehicle body. Furthermore, since the top surfaces of the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 located in the first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 14 can be on the same plane, the aesthetic appearance of the two locks after installation can be further guaranteed.

[0072] In one embodiment, both the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 are connected to the connecting assembly 3 via a flexible member 5 (nylon strap).

[0073] In another embodiment, the first latch 4 is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via a connector 7 (sheet metal part). The second latch 6 is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via a flexible member 5 (nylon strap).

[0074] See Figures 1-3 In the above embodiment, the side of the positioning unit 1 is provided with a mounting port 17, and the two axial ends of the mounting port 17 are respectively connected to the first receiving groove 13 and the first through-hole 15. The side of the positioning unit 1 refers to the surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface along the depth direction of the first receiving groove 13.

[0075] The height of the mounting opening 17 is the same as the distance from the opening of the first receiving groove 13 to the bottom surface of the first through opening 15. The mounting opening 17 on the side facilitates the installation of the first latch 4 into the first receiving groove 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first latch 4 is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via the connector 7 (sheet metal part). The second latch 6 is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via the flexible part 5 (nylon strap). Therefore, when installing the second latch 6, it can first be inserted through the opening of the second receiving groove 14 and fixed in the positioning unit 1, then the nylon strap is passed through the second connecting part 62 of the second latch 6 and fixed in place by fasteners or other components. However, when installing the first latch 4, since both ends of the connector 7 (sheet metal part) are connected to the first latch 4 and the connecting assembly 3 respectively, the first latch 4 cannot be fixed to the positioning unit 1 by insertion through the opening of the first receiving groove 13; the mounting opening 17 on the side is required for assistance. That is, when the installer secures the first latch 4, he can first insert one side of the first latch 4 into the mounting port 17, and then rotate the first latch 4 so that the first latch 4 is fully engaged in the first receiving groove 13 and the first through port 15. In addition, the positioning unit 1 is a plastic part with a certain degree of elasticity to elastically accommodate the first latch 4.

[0076] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the double-locking positioning assembly further includes a limiting unit 2, which is disposed within the mounting port 17 or the first through port 15. The positioning unit 1 positions the latch located within the first receiving groove 13, enhancing its stability within the first receiving groove 13.

[0077] Specifically, in one embodiment, the limiting unit 2 is disposed on the side of the mounting port 17 and close to the first through port 15. When the first fixing part 41 of the first latch 4 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 abuts against the limiting unit 2. In another embodiment, the limiting unit 2 is disposed on the side of the first through port 15 and close to the mounting port 17. When the first fixing part 41 of the first latch 4 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 abuts against the limiting unit 2. In yet another embodiment, part of the limiting unit 2 is disposed on the side of the first through port 15 and another part is disposed on the side of the mounting port 17. When the first fixing part 41 of the first latch 4 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 abuts against the limiting unit 2.

[0078] Furthermore, the first receiving groove 13 is located above the limiting unit 2. This allows the limiting unit 2 to both limit the first latch 4 by abutting against the first connecting part 42 and support the first fixing part 41 located within the first receiving groove 13.

[0079] In this embodiment, two limiting units 2 are provided, and the two limiting units 2 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first opening 15. When the first fixing part 41 of the first latch 4 is located in the first receiving groove 13, the two limiting units 2 respectively abut against the two ends of the side of the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4. The cooperation between the two limiting units 2 can further improve the limiting effect on the first latch 4.

[0080] In one embodiment, the limiting unit 2 is a limiting plate. Through the plate structure, the limiting unit 2 and the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 have a large contact area, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the limiting unit 2 on the first latch 4.

[0081] In another embodiment, the limiting unit 2 may be a limiting rod. Through the rod-shaped structure, the limiting unit 2 and the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 have a small contact area, thereby reducing the wear between the limiting unit 2 and the first latch 4.

[0082] In addition, the limiting unit 2 and the positioning element 11 are integrally molded, which makes it easy to directly produce the double-locking positioning assembly through injection molding or other methods.

[0083] In one embodiment, the positioning unit 1 includes a positioning element 11 and a support element 12. A first receiving groove 13 and a second receiving groove 14 are spaced apart on the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11, and a first opening 15 and a second opening 16 are spaced apart on the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11. The support element 12 is disposed on the positioning element 11 and is used to support the positioning unit 11. The supported positioning unit 1 is used to support and position the two latches, so that both latches are exposed on the outside of the seat cushion after being fixed, so that they can be used by the user.

[0084] Specifically, the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11 is parallel to the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11, and the side surface 113 of the positioning element 11 is perpendicular to the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11. The mounting opening 17 is provided on the side surface 113 of the positioning element 11. The first receiving groove 13 and the second receiving groove 14 are spaced apart on both sides of the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11, and the first through-hole 15 and the second through-hole 16 are spaced apart on both sides of the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11. The support element 12 is located in the middle of the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11. Thus, the support element 12 is located between the first through-hole 15 and the second through-hole 16, ensuring that the support element 12 does not obstruct the first through-hole 15 or the second through-hole 16. Therefore, when the support element 12 supports the positioning element 11, it does not affect the fit between the first receiving groove 13 and the first through-hole 15, or between the second receiving groove 14 and the second through-hole 16. In addition, the positioning element 11 and the support element 12 are integrally molded, which makes it easy to directly produce the double-locking positioning assembly through injection molding or other methods.

[0085] See Figures 1-3 Both sides of the support element 12 are recessed inward so that the area of ​​the top surface of the support element 12 is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11. This ensures that the support element 12 does not obstruct the first opening 15 and the second opening 16, and provides installation space for the first latch 4 and the second latch 6. At the same time, since the bottom surface of the support element 12 is not affected by this recessed structure, the support element 12 can still maintain its supporting effect on the positioning element 11.

[0086] That is, in one embodiment, the support element 12 includes a first support unit 121 and a second support unit 122, with the first support unit 121 disposed between the positioning element 11 and the second support unit 122. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first support unit 121 is smaller than that of the second support unit 122, so that the second support unit can still maintain the supporting effect on the positioning element without obstructing the first and second openings.

[0087] Specifically, the support element 12 includes a first support unit 121 and a second support unit 122. The top and bottom surfaces of the first support unit 121 are connected to the bottom surface 112 of the positioning element 11 and the top surface of the second support unit 122, respectively. The outer contour of the longitudinal section of the first support unit 121 is square, and the outer contour of the longitudinal section of the second support unit 122 is trapezoidal. In addition, the first support unit 121 and the second support unit 122 are integrally molded, which facilitates the direct production of the double-locking positioning assembly through injection molding or other methods.

[0088] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the bottom surface of the support element 12 is larger than the area of ​​the top surface of the support element 12, but smaller than the area of ​​the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11. By maximizing the area of ​​the bottom surface of the support element 12, the contact area between the bottom surface of the support element 12 and the body sheet metal is ensured, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support element 12 on the positioning element 11.

[0089] In one embodiment, the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11 and the bottom surface of the support element 12 form an angle. Since the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 are both perpendicular to the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11 after installation and are inclined relative to the bottom surface of the connecting element 12, this angle allows the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 to be exposed on the outside of the seat cushion in an inclined state relative to the body sheet metal when the bottom surface of the support element 12 abuts against the sheet metal of the vehicle body to support the positioning element 11, making it easier for the user to use the latches to fix the seat belt.

[0090] Specifically, the top surface 111 of the positioning element 11 and the bottom surface of the support element 12 form an angle, and the angle is acute. When the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 are installed into the positioning unit 1, the angle between the top surface of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 and the bottom surface of the support element 12 is acute.

[0091] In one embodiment, the positioning element 11 is made of a flexible material. The flexibility and deformability of the material facilitates the installation of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 into the positioning unit 1, while also ensuring a tight fit between the latches and the positioning unit 1, thus guaranteeing the positioning unit 1's effective fixation of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6. Specifically, the flexible material is made of synthetic resin. The softness and toughness of the synthetic resin allow the positioning unit 1 to deform under external force, facilitating the installation of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 into the positioning unit 1. Simultaneously, the positioning unit 1 immediately returns to its original shape after the external force is removed, ensuring the support and fixation of the first latch 4 and the second latch 6.

[0092] In one embodiment, the support element 12 is made of a flexible material with the same hardness as the positioning element 11. This allows the support element 12 and the positioning element 11 to be integrally molded, facilitating direct production of the positioning unit 1 by injection molding or other methods. In another embodiment, the support element 12 is made of a flexible material with a different hardness than the positioning element 11, and the hardness of the support element 12 is greater than that of the positioning element 11. This ensures that the support element 12 provides better support for the positioning element 11.

[0093] In another embodiment, the support element 12 is made of a rigid material to ensure the support effect on the positioning element 11.

[0094] See Figures 4-6 The embodiments of this application also provide a connecting device, including a connecting component 3 and the aforementioned double-locking positioning component. The connecting component 3 is used to connect the first lock 4 and the second lock 6 to the vehicle body sheet metal, and the double-locking positioning component is used to support and position the connected first lock 4 and second lock 6.

[0095] The first receiving groove 13 of the positioning unit 1 is used to receive the first latch 4, which is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via the connector 7. The second receiving groove 14 of the positioning unit 1 is used to receive the second latch 6, which is connected to the connecting assembly 3 via the flexible member 5.

[0096] Specifically, one end of the flexible member 5 is connected to the second connecting portion 62 of the second buckle 6, and the other end of the flexible member 5 is detachably connected to the connecting assembly 3. The flexible member 5 can be any of the following: nylon belt, rubber belt, plastic belt, cloth belt, or leather belt. Because the flexible member 5 has a certain length, the user can remove the second buckle 6 from the first receiving groove 13. The removed second buckle 6 still has a certain range of motion, so that even if the positioning unit 1 is obstructed by a child seat or similar object, the second buckle 6 can be removed from under the child seat or similar object, thus ensuring the normal use of the second buckle 6.

[0097] One end of the connector 7 is connected to the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4, and the other two ends of the connector 7 are connected to the connecting assembly 3. The connector 7 can be made of either a flexible material or a rigid material such as metal. When a rigid material is used, the connector 7 can be integrated with the first connecting part 42 of the first latch 4 to reduce the number of parts.

[0098] The aforementioned connecting device can fix the connecting component 3 to the body sheet metal, thereby fixing the first latch 4 and the second latch 6 to the body sheet metal.

[0099] In one embodiment, the flexible member 5 is detachably disposed on the connecting assembly 3, and the detachable connection facilitates the replacement of the flexible member 5.
