Description

Technical Field

Background Art

[0003] For ornaments such as hand ropes, bracelets, and necklaces, there are fixed connection structure styles that are not detachable as a whole, and there are also styles that are opened and closed through movable clasps to complete wearing. The earliest lobster clasp connection method, and with the development of precision hardware processing or precious metal processing technology, various different forms of clasp structures have gradually emerged, including plug-in clasps, rotary lock clasps, press-in plug clasps, etc. Different connection devices with structures and cooperation methods. Considering the current technical process requirements, since the structures used on jewelry need to be small in size and have high reliability requirements, the structural design is relatively difficult. Moreover, since the clasps used on jewelry are high-frequency opening and closing accessories, there are also many related requirements for their fatigue limit and ease of wearing.

[0004] Currently, the common clasps on the market have simple structures. For example, the snap-fastener structure will cause the snap position to become loose after repeated snapping open, resulting in the risk of accidental loosening and falling. There is also the magnetic snap, which may be accidentally hooked in life and cause the adsorbed part to be opened by an external force. There is still a problem of insufficient safety factor. For example, in the patent CN202111370208.9 T-shaped wedge spring button jewelry clasp, it is disclosed that the present invention uses a T-shaped wedge structure to limit the button, making the button move more smoothly up and down without the problem of button shaking; whether to lock is controlled by an elastic member, which is prone to elastic fatigue and failure caused by aging. For example, in the patent CN201910130218.1 a jewelry snap structure and a jewelry production process, a magnetic snap structure is disclosed, and the locking process is carried out by the mutual attraction of a first magnet and a second magnet. The problems are that the magnetism of the magnetic snap is easily demagnetized, and it is easy to be accidentally touched and opened, so its reliability requirements have not fully achieved the expected effect.

[0005] In addition, the current conventional clasp structures are all fixedly assembled to the jewelry piece. If there is wear and aging, it is not convenient to replace and change, and there are fixed ends, so the adaptability and versatility are relatively general.

[0006] There is an urgent need to propose a buckle structure that improves the connection reliability and safety of the overall product. At the same time, the connection structure of the buckle needs to further improve precision to ensure precise fit and stable and safe opening and closing. The mutual and universal nature also needs to be considered to facilitate interchange and upgrade replacement to enhance the user experience.

[0022] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , which shows a precision buckle assembly structure. The precision buckle assembly structure can be provided at two connecting ends of a rope chain, or can be provided between two connecting ends of a bracelet, a bracelet, or a necklace to complete the actions of buckling connection and opening.

[0023] The precision buckle assembly structure includes a buckle body 100, a plug head 200, and a lock core body 300. The buckle body 100 is used to accommodate the lock core body 300 and a paired plug head 200. If the precision buckle assembly structure is applied to a bracelet, the buckle body can be designed to be integrated with the bracelet body.

[0024] The lock core body 300 is arranged on the buckle body 100, and the plug head 200 is arranged at the other end to be connected. One end face of the buckle body is provided with a slot 101 for inserting the plug head 200, and a lock core body accommodating position 102 is provided in a direction perpendicular to the slot 101, and the lock core body 300 is arranged therein.

[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 , which shows in detail the structure of the lock core body 300. The lock core body 300 includes a lock core housing 10, a rotating shaft 30, a rotating shaft sleeve housing 40, a transmission assembly 50, an eccentric wheel shaft 60, an eccentric wheel shaft kit 70, a lock tongue 80, and a housing cover 20. The housing cover 20 and the lock core housing 10 are snapped together to form an integral unit that houses all the transmission parts.

[0026] One end of the rotating shaft 30 remains outside the lock core housing 10, and the part of the rotating shaft that is placed in the lock core housing 10 also needs to be outside the lock catch body 100, which is a part that can be operated by hand. The part of the rotating shaft 30 inserted into the lock core housing 10 is movably assembled with the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40. The transmission assembly 50 is sequentially assembled on the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40. The transmission assembly 50 is sleeved on the eccentric wheel shaft 60 and drives the eccentric wheel shaft 60. The eccentric wheel shaft 60 drives the lock tongue 80 through the eccentric wheel shaft kit 70. The lock tongue 80 corresponds to the lock tongue notch 81 on the lock core housing. The lock tongue 80 is driven to switch between extending out of the lock tongue notch and retracting into the lock tongue notch.

[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 , which shows that the end of the rotating shaft 30 is also provided with a rotating handle 31. There are anti-slip protrusions 311 on the rotating handle 31, and the radius of a part of the rotating handle 31 is greater than the shaft diameter of the rotating shaft 30 and greater than the aperture of the rotating shaft hole on the lock core housing 10.

The first / second positioning piece is pressed into the positioning piece groove 34 on the rotating shaft 30 through a spring 33. The rotating shaft 30 is clamped in the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40 through the first / second positioning piece 32. First positioning slots and second positioning slots are provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40. The first positioning slot correspondingly limits the first positioning piece, and the second positioning slot correspondingly limits the second positioning piece.

[0029] A longitudinal limiting chute 41 is also provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40. A fixed point convex column 35 is provided on the corresponding rotating shaft. When the positioning convex column 35 is stuck in the longitudinal limiting chute 41, the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40 limits the circumferential rotation freedom of the rotating shaft 30. When the rotating shaft 30 is pushed towards the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40, and the positioning convex column 35 slides out of the longitudinal limiting chute 41, the rotating shaft 30 has a 360° rotation freedom in the circumferential direction. That is, the rotation of the rotating shaft 30 is limited by the longitudinal limiting chute 41 on the inner wall of the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40, but as long as the rotating shaft 30 is pushed inwards, the positioning convex column 35 can be disengaged from the limitation of the longitudinal limiting chute 41, thereby having rotation freedom.

[0030] Moreover, after the rotating shaft 30 has rotational freedom, the transmission assembly 50 can be engaged with the eccentric camshaft 60; otherwise, the two are separated and not in contact.

[0031] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, when the rotating shaft 30 is at the position farthest from the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40, the transmission assembly 50 and the eccentric camshaft 60 are disengaged and not in contact with each other. When the rotating shaft 30 is pushed to the position closest to the rotating shaft sleeve housing 40, the transmission assembly 50 and the eccentric camshaft 60 are engaged and enter the transmission assembly state.

[0032] One end of the transmission assembly 50 is connected to the transmission shaft sleeve housing 40, and the other end has a transmission assembly structure. The corresponding eccentric camshaft 60 has a wedging end. When the wedging end of the eccentric camshaft 60 is inserted into the transmission assembly structure, the eccentric camshaft 60 is driven by the transmission assembly 50.

[0033] In actual industrial applications, there are many ways of the transmission assembly structure, such as splines, etc. Here, a variant form of the transmission assembly structure is made. As shown Figure 3 in the figure, the transmission assembly structure of the transmission assembly is shown as an inner plum blossom ring, and the wedging end of the corresponding eccentric camshaft is a plum blossom handle. According to needs, actually, the transmission assembly structure of the transmission assembly can also be designed as a hexagonal inner ring or a rectangular inner ring, and the wedging end of the eccentric cam is a hexagonal handle or a rectangular handle.
