Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to magnetic buckles, and more particularly to a magnetic buckle and a kettle device. Background Technology

[0002] When cycling outdoors, people usually need to carry water bottles to stay hydrated. Current technology typically involves installing a water bottle cage on the bicycle and placing the water bottle in it. To accommodate different sizes of water bottles, the cage usually has a large diameter or depth to hold various bottles or water containers. While this method solves the problem of carrying the water bottle, the bottle is loosely placed in the cage, making the connection unreliable. During cycling, the bottle is prone to shaking, which can easily cause damage or deformation, and it may even fall out of the cage. Therefore, this method still needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above problems and provides a magnetic fastener and a kettle device suitable for loading kettles.

[0004] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a magnetic fastener, comprising:

[0005] The female buckle is provided with a lock hole, a locking element and a first magnet; the locking element is movably disposed in the female buckle and is provided with a locking part;

[0006] The male buckle is provided with a locking part and a second magnet. The locking part can enter the lock hole and engage with the locking part. The first magnet and the second magnet attract each other and can assist the male buckle and the female buckle in engaging along the connection direction Z.

[0007] The feature is that the female buckle is provided with a rotatable release operation component, which is linked with the locking component. When the release operation component is rotated, it can drive the locking component to move, thereby disengaging the locking part from the matching part, so that the male buckle and the female buckle can be separated.

[0008] Furthermore, the unlocking operation component includes a rotating shaft, an operating part, and a linkage part. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the female buckle. The operating part protrudes from one side of the rotating shaft and is at least partially exposed outside the female buckle. The linkage part is linked with the locking component. When the unlocking operation component is rotated, the linkage part rotates and pushes the locking component to move along the first direction X, thereby disengaging the locking part from the locking part. The first direction X is perpendicular to the connection direction Z.

[0009] Furthermore, when a force is applied to the operating part in a direction away from the male buckle, the force can drive the rotating shaft to rotate around its rotation center and cause the linkage part to move towards the locking member, thereby pushing the locking member to move along the first direction X.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotation center of the rotating shaft is set along the second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X and the connecting direction Z.

[0011] Furthermore, the female buckle includes a first housing and a second housing that are connected to each other. A support portion protrudes from the first housing and extends toward the second housing. The end of the support portion is spaced apart from the second housing. A concave curved surface is provided on the end of the support portion. The central axis of the curved surface is arranged along the second direction Y. The rotating shaft portion is located between the end of the support portion and the second housing and cooperates with the curved surface to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, the male buckle includes a base plate portion, the locking portion protrudes from the base plate portion, and the locking portion is provided with a locking groove extending along a first direction X or a second direction Y.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking component includes a main body portion in the shape of a rectangular ring, the locking portion protruding from the inner wall of the main body portion, and the locking portion extending along a first direction X or along a second direction Y.

[0014] Furthermore, a third magnet is fixedly installed on the main body. When the male and female buckles are inserted along the connection direction Z, the third magnet interacts with the second magnet to drive the locking member to move, thereby engaging the locking part with the matching part.

[0015] Furthermore, a magnet seat is provided inside the first housing or the second housing at a position opposite to the lock hole, and the first magnet is fixedly disposed in the magnet seat; a side opening is provided on the side of the magnet seat, which communicates with the lock hole, and the locking member is movably sleeved on the outside of the magnet seat, and the locking part can enter and exit the lock hole through the side opening.

[0016] Furthermore, a protruding ridge is provided on the inner wall of the first or second housing. The ridge is located within the active stroke range of the locking member and can provide displacement guidance for the locking member along the connection direction Z. When the locking member moves along the first direction X, the ridge provides displacement guidance for the locking member, guiding the locking member to move away from the male buckle in the connection direction Z. When the locking member moves in the opposite direction to the first direction X, the ridge provides displacement guidance for the locking member, guiding the locking member to move closer to the male buckle in the connection direction Z.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes an elastic binding strap with several hanging holes and at least two hooks on the female buckle; the binding strap can be hooked onto the hooks through its hanging holes to connect with the female buckle and fix the female buckle to the columnar structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the binding strap includes a central portion and several strap portions disposed on both sides of the central portion, and each strap portion is provided with several hanging holes.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a kettle device, including a kettle body and the aforementioned magnetic buckle, wherein the female buckle is fixedly disposed on the kettle body or detachably connected to the kettle body, and the male buckle is used to fix it in the place of use; the male buckle can be connected to the female buckle to hang the kettle body in the place of use; when the kettle body is held with one hand and force is applied to the release mechanism in the direction of grip, the female buckle can be separated from the male buckle to remove the kettle body from the place of use.

[0020] The beneficial contribution of this invention lies in its effective solution to the aforementioned problems. The magnetic buckle of this invention unlocks by rotating the release mechanism, making it convenient to operate. The kettle device of this invention is equipped with a magnetic buckle, which enables the attachment and removal of the kettle body through a detachable connection between the male and female buckles. Furthermore, the force applied during the unlocking operation is directed away from the male buckle, consistent with the direction of the user's grip when holding the kettle. Therefore, unlocking can be performed simultaneously with holding the kettle, a seamless process that allows the kettle body to be removed from its place of use without excessive movement. Its operation is highly user-friendly and practical, and should be widely promoted. This invention features a novel structure and practical function. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The following embodiments are further explanations and supplements to the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the magnetic buckle 100 of the present invention includes a male buckle 20 and a female buckle 10. The male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 can be connected together and can be separated.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 , Figure 10 As shown, the female buckle 10 has a locking hole 11, a locking element 12, and a first magnet 13. The male buckle 20 includes a locking part 21 and a second magnet.

[0042] The lock hole 11 is used for the insertion of the locking part 21 of the male buckle 20. Its shape can be set as needed, and it can be a circular hole or a rectangular hole.

[0043] The locking member 12 is provided with a locking part 121, which is movably disposed in the female buckle 10 and is used to engage with the mating locking part 21 of the male buckle 20. When the locking part 121 is engaged with the mating locking part 21, the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are effectively connected together and cannot be separated. When the locking part 121 is disengaged from the mating locking part 21, the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 can be separated. By moving the locking member 12, the position of the locking part 121 can be changed, thereby changing the engagement state with the mating locking part 21, so as to realize the separable connection of the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10.

[0044] The first magnet 13 is fixedly disposed in the female buckle 10, and is used to interact with the second magnet in the male buckle 20, so that the male buckle 20 can quickly enter the engagement position and establish engagement with the female buckle 10. Normally, the first magnet 13 is disposed at a position opposite to the lock hole 11.

[0045] The male buckle 20 has a locking portion 21 that engages with the locking portion 121 of the female buckle 10. The shape of the locking portion 21 can be customized as needed; it can be cylindrical or rectangular. For engagement, a locking groove 211 is provided on the locking portion 21. The locking groove 211 is located on the side wall of the locking portion 21. The locking groove 211 is recessed relative to the surface of the locking portion 21. When the locking portion 121 is within the locking groove 211, the locking portion 21 cannot move along its axial direction. At this time, the locking portion 121 engages with the female buckle 10, and the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are effectively connected and cannot be separated. When the locking part 121 moves out of the locking groove 211, the locking part 21 is no longer restricted by the locking part 121, and the locking part 21 can move along its axial direction. At this time, the locking part 121 and the locking part 21 disengage, and the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 can be separated.

[0046] The second magnet is fixedly disposed in the male buckle 20; when the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are inserted along the connection direction Z, the positions of the first magnet 13 and the second magnet are opposite, and they attract each other, thereby allowing the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 to be quickly aligned and inserted. Preferably, the second magnet is fixedly disposed in the locking part 21.

[0047] To facilitate the release operation, a rotatable release operation member 14 is provided in the female buckle 10. The release operation member 14 is linked with the locking member 12. When the release operation member 14 is rotated, it drives the locking member 12 to move, causing the locking part 121 to disengage from the matching locking part 21, thereby allowing the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 to be separated.

[0048] The release mechanism 14 is at least partially exposed outside the female latch 10 and is operated by the user. When operated by the user, the release mechanism 14 can rotate around a rotation center, thereby pushing the locking member 12 to move and release the latch.

[0049] The rotation center can be fixed in position or slightly variable in position. Generally speaking, when force is applied to the release operation member 14, the release operation member 14 rotates to unlock the locking member 12.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the release operation component 14 includes a rotating shaft 141, an operating part 142, and a linkage part 143. The rotating shaft 141, the operating part 142, and the linkage part 143 can be an integrally formed structure or a fixedly connected structure, which can be set according to needs. Preferably, the release operation component 14 is integrally formed.

[0051] The rotating shaft 141 is rotatably disposed within the female buckle 10 and can rotate around its rotation center. The rotating shaft 141 is generally long and rod-shaped, with at least a portion being cylindrical for rotation. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 141 is generally cylindrical, and its central axis is its rotation center. When the unlocking operation member 14 rotates, the rotating shaft 141 rotates around its central axis.

[0052] The operating part 142 is used for user operation. It protrudes from one side of the rotating shaft 141 and is at least partially exposed outside the female buckle 10. The operating part 142 provides a large contact area for user operation. One end of the operating part 142 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 141, and the other end extends outside the female buckle 10 to form a free end. When an external force is applied to the operating part 142, the rotating shaft 141 can rotate around its rotation center. The operating part 142 can be located in the middle or at the end of the rotating shaft 141, depending on the needs. In this embodiment, the operating part 142 is located in the middle of the rotating shaft 141. The shape of the operating part 142 is not limited; it can be a flat structure or a curved block structure, etc. Furthermore, indicator patterns or anti-slip patterns can be provided on the surface of the operating part 142 to improve the usability.

[0053] The linkage part 143 is used to move the locking member 12. One end of it is connected to the rotating part, and the other end is linked to the locking member 12. The linkage part 143 and the operating part 142 form a certain angle, which facilitates the application of force to drive the locking member 12 to move. The angle between the linkage part 143 and the operating part 142 can be set as needed. In this embodiment, the angle between the linkage part 143 and the operating part 142 is approximately 80-90°.

[0054] like Figure 10 As shown, when the operating part 142 is subjected to force, the release operating member 14 rotates around the rotation center, and the end position of the linkage part 143 changes. This pushes the locking member 12 to move along the first direction X, thereby disengaging the locking part 121 from the locking part 21. Thus, the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 can be separated. This lever-like structure of the release operating member 14 allows the user to complete the release operation with less force.

[0055] Wherein, the first direction X is perpendicular to the connection direction Z. The connection direction Z refers to the direction in which the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are inserted. Generally speaking, the connection direction Z is consistent with the axial direction of the locking part 21.

[0056] Furthermore, the rotation center of the rotating shaft portion 141 is set along the second direction Y. In other words, the rotating shaft portion 141 extends along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and the connecting direction Z.

[0057] like Figure 10 As shown, when force is applied to the operating part 142 in a direction away from the male buckle 20, the force drives the rotating shaft part 141 to rotate around its rotation center. The linkage part 143 then rotates around the rotating shaft part 141, and its end moves toward the locking member 12, thereby pushing the locking member 12 to move away from the locking part 21 in the first direction X. In this way, the locking part 121 of the locking member 12 can be moved out of the locking groove 211 of the locking part 21, and the locking member 12 disengages from the locking part 21.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a support column 15 is provided in the female buckle 10 to support the rotation of the release operation member 14.

[0059] The female buckle 10 includes a first housing 16 and a second housing 17 that are mated together. A receiving cavity is formed between the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 for mounting the locking member 12 and the unlocking operation member 14.

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the support column 15 is provided within the first housing 16. The support column 15 protrudes from the first housing 16 and extends toward the second housing 17. A concave curved surface 151 is provided at the end of the support column 15, the central axis of which is arranged along the second direction Y. The curved surface 151 is used to cooperate with the rotating shaft 141 to support the rotation of the rotating shaft 141. The end of the support column 15 is spaced from the second housing 17, forming an installation space therebetween for mounting the rotating shaft 141.

[0061] The pivot 141 is located between the end of the support column 15 and the second housing 17, and it mates with the curved surface 151 to allow rotation. When the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are joined together, the pivot 141 is confined between the support column 15 and the second housing 17, allowing rotation but preventing it from being removed from the mounting space between them. While the pivot 141 rotates between the end of the support column 15 and the second housing 17, its center of rotation may fluctuate within a small range, but overall, the pivot 141 is constrained to rotate within the space between the end of the support column 15 and the second housing 17.

[0062] Furthermore, to prevent the rotating shaft 141 from shifting, such as Figure 6 As shown, a limiting groove 171 can be provided on the second housing 17. The limiting groove 171 corresponds to the rotating shaft portion 141 and is an elongated groove 110 that can accommodate the rotating shaft portion 141. The inner wall of the limiting groove 171 and the curved surface 151 of the support portion 15 together provide limiting constraints on the rotating shaft portion 141. In this way, the rotating shaft portion 141 can be confined within the space constructed by the limiting groove 171 and the curved surface 151 of the support portion 15, allowing it to rotate but making it difficult to leave this space.

[0063] In the default position, such as Figure 10 As shown, the linkage 143 is located within the space between the first housing 16 and the pivot 141. Preferably, the linkage 143 is located on the side of the pivot 141 away from the male buckle 20. In other words, with the pivot 141 as the boundary, the male buckle 20 and the linkage 143 are located on different sides of the pivot 141. Thus, when the operating part 142 is subjected to a force in a direction away from the male buckle 20, the linkage 143 can push the locking member 12 to move along the first direction X away from the locking part 21 and the linkage 143.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 12 includes a rectangular ring-shaped main body 122. The rectangular shape of the main body 122 is advantageous for providing displacement constraints, ensuring that the locking member 12 moves in a straight line when moving along the first direction X.

[0065] The locking part 121 protrudes from the inner wall of the main body part 122.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking portion 121 extends along a first direction X. In some embodiments, the locking portion 121 extends along a second direction Y. In other words, the locking portion 121 can be disposed on all four inner walls of its sides. Correspondingly, the locking groove 211 on the locking part 21 corresponds to the locking portion 121. When the locking portion 121 extends along the first direction X, the locking groove 211 is also disposed along the first direction X. When the locking portion 121 extends along the second direction Y, the locking groove 211 is also disposed along the second direction Y.

[0067] Preferably, in this embodiment, the locking portion 121 extends along the first direction X and is symmetrically disposed on the inner walls of opposite sides of the main body portion 122. Correspondingly, locking grooves 211 extending along the first direction X are symmetrically disposed on the opposite side walls of the locking portion 21.

[0068] Furthermore, of the two opposite sides of the main body 122 that are not provided with the locking part 121, one is used to be linked with the linkage part 143, and the other is used to install the third magnet 18.

[0069] The third magnet 18 is fixedly disposed on the main body 122 and is used to interact with the second magnet to achieve locking. When the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are inserted along the connection direction Z, the third magnet 18 interacts with the second magnet to drive the locking member 12 to move, so that the locking part 121 engages with the matching locking part 21.

[0070] When the male latch 20 is not inserted into the lock hole 11, the third magnet 18 and the first magnet 13 in the female latch 10 interact, causing the locking member 12 to be in a first position. This first position may be an engaged position, an unlocked position, or a position between the engaged and unlocked positions. The engaged position refers to the position where the locking part 121 can engage with the matching locking part 21, at which point the locking part 121 is within the lock hole 11. The unlocked position refers to the position where the locking part 121 is disengaged from the matching locking part 21, at which point the locking part 121 has at least partially exited the lock hole 11.

[0071] When the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are inserted, the second magnet in the male buckle 20 can interact with the third magnet 18 in the locking member 12 to drive the locking member 12 to move in the first direction X and / or in the opposite direction to the first direction X. The end result is that the locking member 12 is attracted to move to its locking part 121 to engage with the locking part 21.

[0072] When the first position of the locking member 12 is the engaged position, when the second magnet and the third magnet 18 interact, the locking member 12 is first driven to move away from the lock hole 11 along the first direction X by magnetic repulsion. Then, as the relative position changes (mainly the movement of the locking part 21), the magnetic force changes, and the magnetic repulsion is converted into magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction attracts the locking member 12 to move in the direction opposite to the first direction X and enter the lock hole 11 to engage with the locking part 21.

[0073] When the first position of the locking member 12 is the unlocked position, when the second magnet and the third magnet 18 interact, the first interaction is magnetic repulsion. At this time, the locking member 12 maintains the current unlocked position. Subsequently, as the position of the magnet changes (mainly the movement of the locking part 21), the magnetic force changes, and the magnetic repulsion is converted into magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction attracts the locking member 12 to move in the opposite direction to the first direction X and enter the lock hole 11 to engage with the locking part 21.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the third magnet 18, a rectangular mounting hole 1221 is provided on the main body 122, which can be used to embed a rectangular block magnet. In this embodiment, the third magnet 18 is fixedly disposed on the side of the main body 122 away from the linkage part 143, and is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0075] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the first magnet 13 and the movement of the constraint lock 12 along a straight line, a magnet seat 19 is provided in the first housing 16 or the second housing 17 at a position opposite to the lock hole 11.

[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the magnet base 19 is fixedly provided with a mounting groove 191 for fixing the first magnet 13.

[0077] Furthermore, the magnet base 19 is generally in the form of a rectangular block structure, or has a rectangular outer contour. The locking member 12 is movably sleeved on the magnet base 19. In this way, the constraint of the rectangular shape can ensure that the locking member 12 moves in a straight line when it moves along the first direction X.

[0078] To facilitate the entry and exit of the locking part 121 into the lock hole 11, a side opening 192 communicating with the lock hole 11 is provided on the side of the magnet base 19. The side opening 192 allows the lock hole 11 to communicate with the interior of the female buckle 10, thus enabling the locking part 121 to enter and exit the lock hole 11. When the locking part 121 enters the range of the lock hole 11, it can be inserted into the locking groove 211 of the locking part 21 and engage with the locking part 21. When the locking part 121 exits or at least partially exits the range of the lock hole 11, the locking part 121 moves out of the locking groove 211 of the locking part 21 and disengages from the locking part 21.

[0079] The position of the side opening 192 should be such that it facilitates the movement of the locking part 121. When the position of the locking part 121 is different, the position of the side opening 192 should be adjusted accordingly.

[0080] In this embodiment, the side opening 192 is located on the side of the magnet base 19 away from the linkage part 143.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, to better constrain the locking member 12 to move along a straight line, a groove 110 can be provided on the inner wall of the first housing 16 and / or the second housing 17. The locking member 12 is entirely placed in the groove 110 and can move within the groove 110. In this way, the shape of the groove 110 can constrain the locking member 12, allowing it to move along a straight line. In this embodiment, the groove 110 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 16.

[0082] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 As shown, to avoid false locking and facilitate proper connection and disengagement of the male buckle 20 and female buckle 10, a protruding strip 120 is provided on the inner wall of the first housing 16 and / or the second housing 17. The protruding strip 120 is positioned within the travel of the locking member 12 and can extend in a straight line or a curve. In this embodiment, the protruding strip 120 extends along a first direction X. When the locking member 12 moves along or in the opposite direction of the first direction X, it moves against the top of the protruding strip 120.

[0083] like Figure 10 As shown, the protruding portion 120 has a guiding function, providing displacement guidance for the locking member 12 along the connecting direction Z. In other words, when the locking member 12 moves, it moves not only in the first direction X, but also in the connecting direction Z, and its trajectory is the resultant of the first direction X and the connecting direction Z.

[0084] like Figure 10As shown, when the locking member 12 moves along the first direction X, the protruding part 120 provides displacement guidance for the locking member 12, which can guide the locking member 12 to move away from the male buckle 20 in the connection direction Z.

[0085] When the locking member 12 moves in the opposite direction to the first direction X, the protruding part 120 provides displacement guidance for the locking member 12, which can guide the locking member 12 to move in the connection direction Z toward the direction closer to the male buckle 20.

[0086] The protrusion 120 guides the movement of the locking member 12, preventing it from getting stuck and unable to move. It also guides the locking member 12 to better enter the engagement and unlocking positions, preventing accidents between the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 during unlocking and locking.

[0087] In this embodiment, the protruding part 120 is disposed on the first housing 16, adjacent to the groove 110. The locking hole 11 is disposed on the second housing 17. In other embodiments, the protruding part 120 may also be disposed on the second housing 17.

[0088] The number of the raised ribs 120 can be set as needed. In this embodiment, each locking member 12 is provided with two raised ribs 120, which are arranged in parallel at intervals.

[0089] The number of the card lock 12, magnet base 19, locking part 21, and linkage part 143 can be set as needed.

[0090] In some embodiments, a locking element 12 may be provided in the female buckle 10. Correspondingly, the female buckle 10 is provided with a locking hole 11 and a magnet base 19, the male buckle 20 is provided with a locking part 21, and the release operation member 14 is provided with a linkage part 143.

[0091] In this embodiment, the female buckle 10 is provided with two locking members 12, which are spaced apart. Correspondingly, the female buckle 10 is provided with two locking holes 11 and two magnet seats 19, the male buckle 20 is provided with two locking parts 21, and the release operation member 14 is provided with two linkage parts 143 or one linkage part 143. When a force is applied to the operation part 142 in a direction away from the male buckle 20, the linkage part 143 rotates synchronously and drives the two locking members 12 to move together in the first direction X, so that the locking parts 121 of the two locking members 12 simultaneously disengage from the two locking parts 21, thereby allowing the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 to be separated.

[0092] In other embodiments, the number of locking components 12 can be set as needed, and the configuration of other components can be adapted or analogized according to the structure of this embodiment.

[0093] The shapes of the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 can be set according to the application scenario.

[0094] For easy fixing, the male buckle 20 includes a base plate portion 23. The base plate portion 23 can be flat or curved. The locking portion 21 protrudes from the base plate portion 23.

[0095] The shape of the substrate portion 23 is not limited, and its fixing method is not limited.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a plurality of through holes 231 can be provided on the substrate portion 23 for fixing the male buckle 20 to the place of use by fasteners such as screws and bolts. The through holes 231 can be circular holes or strip holes. In this embodiment, the substrate portion 23 is provided with two through holes 231, one of which is a circular hole and the other is a strip hole, which can be used for adjustment and installation.

[0097] In some embodiments, the substrate portion 23 may be provided with holes for fixing by a strap structure (not shown in the figure).

[0098] The shapes of the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 of the female buckle 10 can be set as needed.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first housing 16 may be injection molded together with the object to be connected (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 2 (as shown), or directly set as part of the object to be connected.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first housing 16 is an independent component that can be connected to the object to be connected.

[0101] To provide versatility, such as Figure 11 As shown, the female buckle 10 can be connected to the cylindrical object to be connected via the elastic binding strap 30. The magnetic buckle 100 also includes the elastic binding strap 30.

[0102] The elastic binding strap 30 has several hanging holes 31, and correspondingly, the female buckle 10 has at least two hook portions 130. The hook portions 130 can be provided on the first housing 16 or the second housing 17. The binding strap 30 can be hooked onto the hook portions 130 through its hanging holes 31 to connect with the female buckle 10, thereby fixing the female buckle 10 to a columnar structure, such as a kettle.

[0103] Furthermore, the binding strap 30 includes a central portion 32 and several strap portions 33. The strap portions 33 are located on both sides of the central portion 32 and are elongated. Each strap portion 33 has several hanging holes 31. By hooking the corresponding strap portion 33's hanging hole 31 onto the hook portion 130 of the female buckle 10, the female buckle 10 can be fixed to the columnar structure. The tightness can be adjusted by selecting a suitable hanging hole 31.

[0104] The binding strap 30 is elastic and is preferably made of silicone. Of course, the material of the binding strap 30 is not limited.

[0105] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a kettle device.

[0106] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the kettle device includes a kettle body 200 and the aforementioned magnetic buckle 100.

[0107] The kettle body 200 is a water container, which is usually cylindrical in shape.

[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, the female buckle 10 of the magnetic buckle 100 is fixedly mounted on the kettle body 200, or detachably connected to the kettle body 200. The male buckle 20 is used to fix it at the place of use.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the female buckle 10 is fixedly connected to the kettle body 200. For example, the kettle body 200 is provided with a receiving groove, and a part of the female buckle 10 is fixedly embedded in the receiving groove. When a part of the female buckle 10 is fixedly embedded in the receiving groove, the locking hole 11 of the female buckle 10 faces outward, facilitating insertion with the male buckle 20. This method is suitable for custom-made kettles. The fixed connection method between the kettle body 200 and the male buckle 10 is not limited, including but not limited to: snap-fit ​​fixing, injection molding, etc.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the female buckle 10 is detachably connected to the kettle body 200. For example, the female buckle 10 can be fixed to the kettle body 200 by the aforementioned binding strap 30. This method is more versatile; any kettle that the user already owns can be used as the kettle body 200, and the female buckle 10 can be installed on the kettle body 200.

[0111] When in use, the male buckle 20 is fixed to the place of use, for example, fixedly installed on a bicycle.

[0112] In this way, when the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 10 are connected, the water bottle body 200 can be mounted at the place of use. For example, the water bottle can be mounted on a bicycle.

[0113] When it is necessary to remove the kettle body 200, the kettle body 200 can be held with one hand, and force can be applied to the release operation member 14 in the direction of grip force. The female buckle 10 can then be separated from the male buckle 20, thereby unlocking in one step. The kettle body 200 can be removed from the place of use without much action from the user.

[0114] Since the unlocking method of the release mechanism 14 is rotation, and the force is applied in the direction away from the male buckle 20, when the user holds the kettle body 200, the direction of the grip force is naturally consistent with the unlocking direction of the release mechanism 14. Therefore, the user only needs to hold the kettle body 200 and press the release mechanism 14 with his / her fingers at the same time to drive the release mechanism 14 to rotate and disengage the locking part 121 from the locking part 21, thereby separating the male buckle 20 from the female buckle 10 and removing the kettle body 200 from the place of use.

[0115] The kettle device of the present invention has an unlocking operation method adapted to the way people naturally pick up a kettle. Therefore, it can be operated in one step with one hand. The action of grasping the kettle can be completed at the same time to unlock it. It can remove the kettle body 200 without too many complicated actions. Its operation is very user-friendly and can greatly facilitate the use of users.

[0116] Although the present invention has been disclosed through the above embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above components can be replaced by similar or equivalent elements known to those skilled in the art.
