Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a nameplate, and more particularly to a snap-on integrated nameplate. Background Technology

[0002] Before a product is launched on the market, a nameplate is usually attached to it. This nameplate records information such as the manufacturer, trademark identification, brand differentiation, and product parameters. Current technology often uses a rivet structure to attach the nameplate. Holes are drilled in both the product and the nameplate, a rivet is inserted through a hole in the nameplate into a hole in the product, and then hammered to deform the rivet, which then secures the nameplate to the product. This process is complex, and if the nameplate is omitted and ends up on the market or in the hands of consumers, it increases the difficulty and time cost of installation. Furthermore, drilling debris generated during installation affects environmental cleanliness. If a rivet breaks and the nameplate falls off, the drilled hole in the detached nameplate is deformed, making the nameplate unusable and requiring replacement of both the nameplate and rivet, increasing material and time costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art by providing a snap-on integrated nameplate. The self-locking cavity on the nameplate is used to insert and lock the protruding pin on the product, thereby fixing the nameplate to the product. This avoids drilling holes in the nameplate and the product separately, reduces drilling processes, improves the efficiency of nameplate installation, helps maintain environmental cleanliness, facilitates nameplate replacement, allows the nameplate to be reused, increases utilization rate, and reduces the cost of nameplate use.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solution: an integrated snap-on nameplate, comprising a nameplate body and a snap-on mechanism disposed on the nameplate body, characterized in that the snap-on mechanism and the nameplate body are an integral structure, the snap-on mechanism is a self-locking snap-on mechanism, the snap-on mechanism includes a locking post, and locking claws arranged in a centrally symmetrical radiating pattern on the outer wall of the locking post, the inner cavity of the locking post being a self-locking cavity. The self-locking cavity on the integrated snap-on nameplate is used for inserting and locking a protruding pin on the product, thereby fixing the nameplate to the product, avoiding the need to drill holes separately on the nameplate and the product, reducing drilling processes and improving the efficiency of nameplate installation, while also helping to maintain environmental cleanliness, and facilitating nameplate replacement. The nameplate can be reused, increasing its utilization rate and reducing its usage cost.

[0005] Typically, to conceal the protruding pin, a recessed mounting hole is pre-drilled in the product. This mounting hole is often integrally formed with the corresponding component on the product, avoiding drilling. The protruding pin is formed in the center of the mounting hole. When the nameplate is assembled onto the product, the retaining pin is inserted into the mounting hole, while the protruding pin is inserted into the self-locking cavity. To conceal the latch on the nameplate, the depth of the mounting hole matches the height of the retaining pin, and the height of the pin matches the depth of the self-locking cavity.

[0006] As a further improvement and supplement to the above technical solution, the present invention adopts the following technical measures:

[0007] To achieve a self-locking effect, the self-locking cavity has an irregular shape, comprising a central cavity body, several expansion bosses and several expansion grooves arranged around the periphery of the cavity body. The expansion bosses protrude towards the cavity body, and the expansion grooves are formed away from the cavity body. An expansion boss, an expansion groove, and so on are continuously and alternately arranged. When the pin is inserted into the self-locking cavity, the expansion bosses are expanded, and the expansion grooves are deformed by the expansion bosses. The deformation of the expansion bosses creates a self-locking force on the pin, ensuring the nameplate is securely and reliably fixed to the product.

[0008] The peripheral wall of the self-locking cavity is formed by a series of spaced and continuous arc-shaped walls and a series of straight walls. The arc-shaped walls are curved away from the axis of the locking pin. The protrusion formed by the arc-shaped walls and the locking pin is the expansion protrusion, and the groove formed by one straight wall and two adjacent arc-shaped walls is the expansion groove. The arc-shaped walls are used to make the arc-shaped surface of the expansion protrusion engage with the pin, which helps to evenly transfer the force on the pin to the expansion protrusion, thereby enabling the expansion protrusion to act evenly on the pin.

[0009] To ensure that the various expansion bosses exert a balanced force, the axis of the arc-shaped wall is parallel to the axis of the locking post. The straight wall is correspondingly arranged with the locking claw, and is usually parallel to the longitudinal section of the locking claw. This supports the locking claw, reduces the positional change of the locking claw due to the deformation of the expansion bosses, and helps to improve the locking effect of the locking claw.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the claw is rectangular, and the claw and the flat wall are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, with the flat wall parallel to a pair of oppositely arranged sidewalls of the claw.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the jaws is adapted to the height of the locking pins. This helps ensure the strength of the jaws and also ensures that both the jaws and the locking pins can be fully inserted into the assembly holes of the product.

[0012] Preferably, the outer corner of the end of the latch away from the nameplate body is a rounded corner, and the curvature of the rounded corner is directed towards the axis of the latch post. The rounded corner and its direction facilitate smooth insertion of the latch into the product's mounting hole.

[0013] Preferably, the nameplate body has a recessed area, and the inner end of the self-locking buckle is located in the recessed area. After the nameplate is assembled onto the product, the recessed area helps to conceal the buckle.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-section of the recessed region is circular, the longitudinal cross-section of the recessed region is frustoconical, and the depth of the recessed region gradually increases from the outside to the center.

[0015] Preferably, one end of the claw is attached to the surface of the recessed area. That is, the end face of the claw is attached to the nameplate body, which not only helps to ensure the strength of the claw, but also facilitates the processing of the snap-on nameplate.

[0016] A detachable structure is provided at one end of the nameplate body. This detachable structure is an integral part of the nameplate body, and both are flat plates with the same thickness. The width of the detachable structure gradually decreases towards its end, and it bends towards the fastener. The detachable structure facilitates the removal of the nameplate body, typically by prying it open to remove the entire nameplate from the product. To easily identify the location of the detachable structure, its width gradually decreases towards its end. The bending of the detachable structure towards the fastener allows external forces to be applied to the nameplate during removal.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The self-locking cavity on the buckle allows for the insertion and locking of the protruding pin on the product, thus fixing the nameplate to the product. This avoids drilling holes in both the nameplate and the product, reducing drilling processes and improving the efficiency of nameplate installation. It also helps maintain a clean environment and facilitates nameplate replacement. The nameplate can be reused, increasing its utilization rate and reducing its operating costs. The easy-to-disassemble structure not only facilitates identification but also helps to transfer external force to the entire nameplate, improving disassembly efficiency. Furthermore, it facilitates further fastening, improving the fit between the nameplate and the product, and enhancing product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, the snap-on integrated nameplate includes a nameplate body 1 and a snap 2 disposed on the nameplate body. The snap and the nameplate body are an integral structure. The snap is a self-locking snap, and the snap includes a locking post 21 and locking claws 22 arranged in a centrally symmetrical radiating pattern on the outer wall of the locking post. The inner cavity of the locking post is a self-locking cavity 23. The self-locking cavity on the snap-on integrated nameplate is used to insert and lock the protruding pin on the product, thereby fixing the nameplate to the product 4. This avoids drilling holes separately on the nameplate and the product, reducing drilling processes and improving the efficiency of nameplate installation. It also helps maintain environmental cleanliness, facilitates nameplate replacement, and allows the nameplate to be reused, increasing its utilization rate and reducing its usage cost.

[0024] Typically, to conceal the protruding pin, a recessed mounting hole 5 is pre-drilled in the product. This mounting hole is often integrally formed with the corresponding component on the product, avoiding drilling. The protruding pin is formed in the center of the mounting hole. When the nameplate is assembled onto the product, the retaining pin inserts into the mounting hole, while the protruding pin inserts into the self-locking cavity. To conceal the buckle on the nameplate, the depth of the mounting hole matches the height of the retaining pin, and the pin's height matches the depth of the self-locking cavity.

[0025] Furthermore, the claws typically engage with the inner wall of the mounting hole to position and limit the nameplate, reducing the possibility of shaking or movement. The claw design also helps to improve the strength of the buckle itself and enhance assembly reliability.

[0026] A detachable structure 3 is provided at one end of the nameplate body. This detachable structure is an integral part of the nameplate body, and both are flat plates with the same thickness. The width of the detachable structure gradually decreases towards its end, and it bends towards the fastener. The detachable structure facilitates the removal of the nameplate body, typically by prying it up to remove the entire nameplate from the product. To easily identify the location of the detachable structure, its width gradually decreases towards its end. The bending of the detachable structure towards the fastener allows external forces to be applied to the nameplate.

[0027] To achieve a self-locking effect, the self-locking cavity has an irregular shape, comprising a central cavity body, several expansion bosses 24 and several expansion grooves 25 arranged around the periphery of the cavity body. The expansion bosses protrude towards the cavity body, and the expansion grooves are formed away from the cavity body. An expansion boss, an expansion groove, and so on are continuously and alternately arranged. When the pin is inserted into the self-locking cavity, the expansion bosses are expanded, and the expansion grooves are deformed by the expansion bosses. The deformation of the expansion bosses creates a self-locking force on the pin, ensuring that the nameplate is securely and reliably fixed to the product.

[0028] The peripheral wall of the self-locking cavity is formed by a series of first arc-shaped walls and a series of second arc-shaped walls spaced apart and continuously. The first arc-shaped walls are curved away from the axis of the locking pin. The protrusion formed by the first arc-shaped wall and the locking pin is the expansion protrusion, and the groove formed by one second arc-shaped wall and two adjacent first arc-shaped walls is the expansion groove. The first arc-shaped wall is used to make the arc-shaped surface of the expansion protrusion engage with the pin, which is beneficial to the balanced transfer of force on the pin to the expansion protrusion, thereby enabling the expansion protrusion to act evenly on the pin. The central axis of the second arc-shaped wall is located on the axis of the locking pin 21.

[0029] To ensure that the expansion bosses exert a balanced force, the axis of the first arc-shaped wall is parallel to the axis of the locking post. The second arc-shaped wall corresponds to the locking claw and is typically parallel to the longitudinal section of the locking claw. This second arc-shaped wall supports the locking claw, reducing positional changes caused by deformation of the expansion bosses and improving its locking effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the cross-section of the claw is rectangular, and the claw and the second arc-shaped wall are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The second arc-shaped wall and a pair of oppositely arranged side walls of the claw form a corresponding fit.

[0031] Furthermore, the height of the jaws is adapted to the height of the locking pins. This helps ensure the strength of the jaws and also ensures that both the jaws and the locking pins can be fully inserted into the assembly holes of the product.

[0032] Furthermore, the outer corner of the end of the latch away from the nameplate body is a rounded corner, and the curvature of the rounded corner is directed towards the axis of the latch post. The rounded corner and its direction facilitate smooth insertion of the latch into the product's assembly hole.

[0033] Furthermore, a recessed area is provided on the nameplate body, and the inner end of the self-locking buckle is located in the recessed area. After the nameplate is assembled onto the product, the recessed area helps to conceal the buckle.

[0034] Furthermore, the cross-section of the recessed region is circular, the longitudinal cross-section of the recessed region is frustoconical, and the depth of the recessed region gradually increases from the outside to the center.

[0035] Furthermore, one end of the claw is attached to the surface of the recessed area. That is, the end face of the claw is attached to the nameplate body, which not only helps to ensure the strength of the claw, but also facilitates the processing of the snap-on nameplate.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
