[0030] Various specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this specification. It should be understood that although terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., are used in the present invention to describe various example structural parts and elements of the present invention in a directional or orientational manner, these terms are used here only for the purpose of convenience of description and are determined based on the example orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these directional terms are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limiting. In the following drawings, the same figure numbers are used for the same parts.

[0031] Figure 1A 1 is a perspective view of the fixing assembly of the first embodiment of the present application, wherein the cover 114 is located in a pre-installation position. Figure 1B yes Figure 1A A perspective view of the fixture assembly is shown with the cover 114 in the installed position. Figure 1C yes Figure 1A An exploded view of the fixed assembly is shown. Figures 1A-1C As shown, the fixing assembly includes a housing 102, a pull ring 104, a shaft 106, a connector 132, a bracket 108 and a clamping structure 110. The housing 102 includes a housing body 112 and a cover 114. The housing body 112 has a hollow portion 122. The hollow portion 122 penetrates the housing body 112 in the up-down direction and defines an opening 124 located above. The cover 114 can move relative to the housing body 112 to open or cover the hollow portion 122 (i.e., open or cover the opening 124). Specifically, the cover 114 has a pre-installed position and an installed position. When the cover 114 is located in the pre-installed position, the cover 114 opens the hollow portion 122. When the cover 114 is located in the installed position, the cover 114 covers the hollow portion 122.

[0032] like Figure 1A As shown, the bracket 108 and the clamping structure 110 are disposed in the hollow portion 122. The clamping structure 110 is disposed on the housing body 112 and is configured to clamp the connecting member 132. The pull ring 104 is disposed outside the housing body 112 and is rotatably connected to the housing body 112 through the shaft 106.

[0033] like Figure 1CAs shown, the bracket 108 includes a bottom plate 133 and a side plate 134. The bottom plate 133 is arranged substantially in a horizontal direction to abut against the front connecting member 300 (see Figures 3A-3C ). The side plate 134 is arranged slightly inclined to the vertical direction and connected to the bottom plate 133. The bottom plate 133 is provided with a bracket hole 136 penetrating the bottom plate 133 in the vertical direction for cooperating with the connecting member 132. The side plate 134 is provided with a through hole 138 penetrating the side plate 134 in the left-right direction for accommodating the shaft 106.

[0034] like Figure 1C As shown, the pull ring 104 is generally U-shaped. A pull ring hole 144 is provided on each of the opposite ends of the pull ring 104 for accommodating the shaft 106. When the fixing assembly is assembled in place, the pull ring hole 144 on the pull ring 104 is aligned with the through hole 138 on the bracket 108. The pull ring 104 is used to connect with a component (such as a luggage strap).

[0035] like Figure 1C As shown, the connector 132 includes a connector body 152 and a connector head 154. The connector body 152 is generally a cylinder. An external thread is provided on it. The connector head 154 is generally spherical. The maximum outer diameter of the connector head 154 is greater than the radius of the connector body 152. The connector 132 has a pre-installation position, an intermediate position, and an installation position, which are connected to the clamping structure 110 and the member to be connected 300 (see Figures 3A-3C ) will be combined with Figures 3A-3C Make an introduction.

[0036] Figure 2 yes Figure 1A The housing 102 and the clamping structure 110 are shown in a three-dimensional view to illustrate their specific structures. Figure 2 As shown, the housing body 112 is roughly a rectangular parallelepiped. The housing body 112 includes a first side wall 201 and a second side wall 202 that are arranged opposite to each other, and a third side wall 203 and a fourth side wall 204 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first side wall 201, the third side wall 203, the second side wall 202, and the fourth side wall 204 are sequentially connected and enclosed to form a hollow portion 122. A side wall hole 222 is provided on each of the first side wall 201 and the second side wall 202 for accommodating the shaft 106. When the fixing assembly is assembled in place, the side wall hole 222 is aligned with the pull ring hole 144 on the pull ring 104 and the through hole 138 on the bracket 108.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the cover 114 is rotatably connected to the fourth side wall 204. As an embodiment, the cover 114 and the housing body 112 are formed integrally of plastic. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided on the cover 114 and the housing body 112, so that when the cover 114 is in the installed position, the snap-fit ​​structure can keep the cover 114 in the installed position. As an embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a protrusion 232 provided on the cover 114 and a recess 234 provided on the housing body 112. The protrusion 232 can be accommodated in the recess 234.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping structure 110 can move relative to the shell body 112 and is arranged on the shell body 112. The clamping structure 110 has a clamping position and a release position. The clamping structure 110 is configured to: clamp the connecting member 132 when the clamping structure 110 is in the clamping position to keep the connecting member 132 in place; and release the connecting member 132 when the clamping structure 110 is in the release position. In the first embodiment of the present application, the clamping structure 110 includes two elastic support members 211. The two elastic support members 211 are symmetrically arranged relative to each other. Specifically, each elastic support member 211 includes a connecting end 226 and a free end 224 that are arranged opposite to each other. The connecting end 226 is connected to the shell body 112. The free ends 224 of the two elastic support members 211 cooperate with each other to form a clamping cavity 228 for accommodating the connecting member 132. When the bracket 108, the clamping structure 110 and the shell body 112 are assembled in place, the clamping cavity 228 is aligned with the bracket hole 136 of the bracket 108. At least a portion of the free end 224 is arc-shaped, thereby forming a substantially circular clamping cavity 228 to match the shape of the connecting body 152 of the connecting member 132. More specifically, the radius of the clamping cavity 228 is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the connecting head 154. Thus, when the clamping structure 110 is in the clamping position, the elastic support member 211 can clamp the connecting body 152, and the connecting head 154 is located above the clamping structure 110, so that the connecting member 132 is kept in place. The two elastic supports 211 are configured such that when the two elastic supports 211 move from the clamping position to the release position, the free ends 224 of the elastic supports 211 move away from each other, thereby expanding the clamping cavity 228. In other words, the elastic support member 211 moves from the clamping position to the releasing position by rotating substantially around the connecting end portion 226. As an embodiment, the elastic support member 211 and the housing body 112 are integrally formed of plastic.

[0039] Figure 3A Yes Figure 1A 1 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing assembly shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the connecting member 132 is in the pre-installed position and the clamping structure 110 is in the clamping position. Figure 3AAs shown, when the connector 132 is located at the pre-installation position and the clamping structure 110 is located at the clamping position, the connecting body 152 of the connector 132 is accommodated in the clamping cavity 228, and the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211 clamps the connecting body 152 of the connector 132. The bottom of the connector 132 is accommodated in the bracket hole 136 on the bracket 108. The connecting head 154 of the connector 132 is located above the clamping structure 110, thereby preventing the connector 132 from moving from the original position to the middle position.

[0040] It should be noted that, although in the embodiment of the present application, the bottom of the connecting member 132 is accommodated in the bracket hole 136 on the bracket 108, in other embodiments, the bottom of the connecting member 132 may not be accommodated in the bracket hole 136 on the bracket 108, and the bottom of the connecting member 132 can be aligned with the bracket hole 136 on the bracket 108.

[0041] Figure 3B Yes Figure 1A 1 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing assembly shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the connecting member 132 is in the middle position and the clamping structure 110 is in the release position. Figure 3B As shown, when the connecting member 132 is located at the middle position and the clamping structure 110 is located at the release position, the connecting member 132 is separated from the free end 224 of the elastic supporting member 211. The bottom of the connecting member 132 extends below the bracket hole 136.

[0042] Figure 3C Yes Figure 1A 1 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing assembly shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the connector 132 is in the installed position and the clamping structure 110 is in the clamping position. Figure 3C As shown, when the connecting member 132 is located at the installation position, the connecting head 154 of the connecting member 132 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom plate 133 of the bracket 108 , and the connecting member 132 is separated from the clamping structure 110 .

[0043] Combine the following Figures 3A-3C The process of installing the fixing assembly of the first embodiment of the present application to the connected member 300 is described. Figures 3A-3C As shown, a to-be-connected hole 301 is provided in the to-be-connected part 300. The to-be-connected hole 301 is formed by being recessed downward from the upper surface of the to-be-connected part 300. An internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the to-be-connected hole 301, which can be matched with the external thread on the connecting body 152.

[0044] When the fixing assembly is assembled in place, the connecting member 132 is located at the pre-installation position, and the clamping structure 110 is located at the clamping position. At this time, the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211 clamps the connecting body 152 of the connecting member 132, so that the connecting member 132 is not easy to fall off from the clamping structure 110.

[0045] When the operator needs to install the fixing assembly to the to-be-connected member 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 3A As shown, the operator aligns the bracket hole 136 of the assembled fixing assembly with the hole 301 of the to-be-connected member 300. The operator then twists the connecting member 132 to apply a force to the connecting member 132 toward the to-be-connected member 300. The connecting head 154 of the connecting member 132 applies a force to the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211, so that the free ends 224 of the two elastic support members 211 move away from each other to expand the clamping cavity 228 until the radius of the clamping cavity 228 is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the connecting head 154, and the connecting member 132 can be separated from the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211. At this time, as shown in FIG. Figure 3B As shown, the connector 132 moves from the pre-installed position to the intermediate position, and the clamping structure 110 moves from the clamping position to the released position. The operator continues to twist the connector 132 and applies force to the connector 132 toward the member to be connected 300. The connector head 154 of the connector 132 is no longer abutted by the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211 and passes through the clamping cavity 228 and continues to move toward the member to be connected 300 until the connector head 154 of the connector 132 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom plate 133 of the bracket 108. The connector 132 moves to the installation position (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 3C As shown in FIG. 1 ). During the movement of the connecting member 132 from the middle position to the installation position, the elastic support member 211 is no longer abutted by the connecting member 132, and thus returns from the release position to the clamping position due to its own elasticity. Thus, the fixing assembly is connected to the to-be-connected member 300 through the connecting member 132.

[0046] After the fixing assembly is connected to the to-be-connected member 300 , the operator may rotate the cover 114 , thereby moving the cover 114 from the pre-installed position to the installed position to cover the hollow portion 122 , thereby protecting the components contained in the hollow portion 122 .

[0047] It should be noted that, although two elastic support members 211 are shown in the present application, at least two elastic support members 211 are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] The fixing assembly of the present application has the advantages of preventing the connection member 132 from being lost, being able to keep the connection member 132 in place, and simplifying the installation steps. Specifically, the fixing assembly of the present application includes a clamping structure 110. The clamping structure 110 can clamp the connection member 132, thereby keeping the connection member 132 in a pre-installed position. The connection member 132 kept in the pre-installed position is aligned with the bracket hole 136 of the bracket 108, which can not only prevent the connection member 132 from being lost, but also save the operator's time in finding a matching connection member 132 during installation. In addition, when installing, the operator only needs to align the bracket hole 136 with the hole 301 of the connection member to be connected to rotate the connection member 132 for installation.

[0049] Figure 4 It is a stereoscopic view of the housing 102 and the clamping structure 110 of the fixing assembly according to the second embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The housing 102 shown is Figure 2 The housing 102 shown is the same and will not be described again here. Figure 4 The clamping structure 110 shown is Figure 2 The main differences of the clamping structure 110 shown are: Figure 4 The clamping structure 110 shown includes an elastic support member 402. The elastic support member 402 is connected to the shell 102. Specifically, the elastic support member 402 is connected to the first side wall 201 and the second side wall 202 of the shell 102. A clamping cavity 228 is provided on the elastic support member 402. The clamping cavity 228 penetrates the elastic support member 402 in the up-down direction. The clamping cavity 228 is used to accommodate the connector 132. The elastic support member 402 is configured such that during the movement of the elastic support member 402 from the clamping position to the release position, the elastic support member 402 is deformed to expand the clamping cavity 228. In other words, when the operator installs the fixing assembly to the member to be connected 300, the connecting head 154 of the connector 132 applies force to the elastic support member 402, thereby causing the elastic support member 402 to deform, resulting in the expansion of the clamping cavity 228. When the connector 132 moves to the middle position, the radius of the clamping cavity 228 is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the connecting head 154, and the connecting head 154 of the connector 132 can pass through the clamping cavity 228, so that the connector 132 can be separated from the free end 224 of the elastic support member 211. As an example, the elastic support member 402 is made of rubber.

[0050] Figure 5 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the housing 102 and the clamping structure 110 of the fixing assembly of the third embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The clamping structure 110 shown is Figure 4 The same aspects of the clamping structure 110 are not described in detail. Figure 5 The clamping structure 110 shown is Figure 4The main differences of the clamping structure 110 shown are: Figure 5 The elastic support member 402 shown is configured to break when the elastic support member 402 moves from the clamping position to the releasing position, so that the connecting member 132 passes through the clamping cavity 228 . Figure 5 , the broken portion 502 of the elastic support member 402 is shown. In other words, when the operator installs the fixing assembly to the member to be connected 300, the connecting head 154 of the connecting member 132 applies force to the elastic support member 402, so that the broken portion 502 of the elastic support member 402 breaks. After the broken portion 502 breaks, the elastic support member 402 is divided into left and right parts. The connecting head 154 of the connecting member 132 can pass through the clamping cavity 228. As an example, the elastic support member 402 is made of plastic.
