The traditional mechanical buckle structure uses springs, threads, lock tongues, hinges and other components to fix and adjust the axis spacing. For example, in some designs, a retractable or rotatable buckle component is set at one end of the shaft. When the shaft is inserted into the matching hole or groove, the buckle automatically snaps into the preset position under the action of the spring force, thereby limiting the axial movement of the shaft and maintaining the axis spacing.

[0010] Further, arc-shaped surfaces are symmetrically arranged on the left and right side surfaces of the strip-shaped groove, and the radian of the arc-shaped surface is adapted to the radian of the shaft-like part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0032] In addition, the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article, unless otherwise specified, generally means that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0033] The existing buckle structure mainly includes the following features:
[0034] 1) Mechanical buckle design: The traditional mechanical buckle structure fixes and adjusts the axis spacing through springs, threads, lock tongues, hinges and other components. For example, in some designs, a retractable or rotatable buckle component is set at one end of the shaft. When the shaft is inserted into the matching hole or groove, the buckle automatically snaps into the preset position under the action of the spring force, thereby limiting the axial movement of the shaft and maintaining the axis spacing.
[0035] 2) Floating snap-fit design: In some precision equipment, in order to accommodate slight assembly tolerances, a floating snap-fit structure is designed that can fine-tune or automatically compensate for gaps, and dynamic control is achieved through the deformation of elastic elements or hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
[0036] 3) Nested or spliced design: The purpose of controlling the distance between axes is achieved by designing a nested structure of shafts and buckle parts, or connecting the shafts with detachable spliced buckles. This method can achieve precise adjustment of the distance between axes and is also easy to disassemble and maintain.
[0037] 4) Electronic intelligent control: In the design of high-tech fields, electronic sensors and actuators, such as electric motors and solenoid valves, may be combined to achieve precise electronic control of the axis spacing, especially in automation and intelligent equipment.
[0038] However, such buckle structures in the prior art generally have the following shortcomings:
[0039] Limited adjustment accuracy: Some existing snap-on structures for controlling axle spacing have limitations in design and manufacturing accuracy, which may result in inaccurate adjustment of axle spacing, especially in application scenarios with high precision requirements.
[0040] Low durability: After long-term or repeated use, some buckle structures may cause degradation of the fixing or adjustment function due to material wear, reduced elasticity, etc., affecting the stable control of the axle spacing.
[0041] Operational complexity: Some buckle structures are complex in design and require professional tools or complicated operating steps to adjust the axle spacing, which is not conducive to daily maintenance and quick adjustment.
[0042] Insufficient adaptability: Existing buckle structures may only be applicable to axle spacing adjustment within a specific range, and are not adaptable to axles of different sizes, shapes or weights, and lack universality.
[0043] Poor responsiveness to load changes: In the case of large load changes, the existing snap-fit structure may not be able to effectively maintain the constant axis spacing, especially in dynamic load or vibration environments, the control effect may be compromised.
[0044] Safety considerations: Some snap-on structures may not be able to effectively prevent the shaft from disengaging when suddenly impacted or overloaded, posing a safety hazard.
[0045] High cost and maintenance cost: The manufacturing cost and subsequent maintenance cost of some precise or complex snap-on structures are relatively high, which puts pressure on the operating costs of enterprises.
[0046] See attached Figure 1 As shown, a snap-in structure for controlling the axle spacing in this embodiment can be used repeatedly to improve efficiency and control the deformation of long-axis products during movement. It includes a snap-in 1, and the snap-in 1 includes a first snap-in 11 and a second snap-in 12. The first snap-in 11 and the second snap-in 12 are engaged with each other to form a snap-in structure. The first snap-in 11 and / or the second snap-in 12 are elastic. The snap-in 1 is provided with an elastic element or an adaptive mechanism, so that the snap-in structure can still maintain a good locking force in a dynamic environment, preventing the axle spacing from drifting due to external forces, thereby improving the operating stability and accuracy of the entire system.
[0047] See attached Figure 1 As shown, in some implementations, the clamping member 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and an axis positioning hole 2 is provided in the thickness direction of the clamping member 1, and the axis positioning hole 2 is used to limit the position of the axis part. The first clamping member 11 is provided with a clamping groove 16, and the second clamping member 12 is provided with a clamping protrusion 17. The shape and size of the protrusion 17 are adapted to the clamping groove 16. The clamping protrusion 17 is accommodated in the clamping groove 16 to connect the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. After the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are clamped, the two axis positioning holes 2 respectively limit two different axis parts and limit the distance between the two axis parts.
[0048] In some embodiments, a first positioning hole is provided on the first clamping member 11, the first positioning hole passes through the side wall of the shaft positioning hole 2 and is connected with the positioning hole, the positioning rod 3 is threadedly connected with the first positioning hole, the positioning rod 3 passes through the first positioning hole and extends into the shaft positioning hole 2 to abut and clamp against shaft parts to prevent the shaft parts from moving in the axial direction.
[0049] See attached Figure 2-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 have the same structure, both including a convex connection surface 13 and a concave connection surface 14, the convex connection surface 13 and the concave connection surface 14 are connected by a "U"-shaped connection portion 15, the convex connection surface 13 is provided with a clamping protrusion 17, the concave connection surface 14 is provided with a clamping groove 16, the protrusion 17 of the first clamping member 11 is accommodated in the clamping groove 16 of the second clamping member 12, and the protrusion 17 of the second clamping member 12 is accommodated in the clamping groove 16 of the first clamping member 11. The first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are mutually clamped to form an elliptical shaft positioning hole 2, and multiple shaft parts can be placed in the shaft positioning hole 2, and the multiple shaft parts are limited by the shaft positioning hole 2.
[0050] In some embodiments, the shape of the protrusion 17 is a trapezoid, T-shaped, or water drop-shaped shape that is wide in front and narrow in the back. The material of the protrusion 17 is an elastically deformable material. Under the action of external force, the protrusion 17 is in the clamping groove 16 that is squeezed and elastically deformed. After entering the clamping groove 16, the protrusion 17 returns to its original shape. Since the shape of the protrusion 17 is a structure that is wide in front and narrow in the back, the shape of the clamping groove 16 is compatible with the shape of the protrusion 17. After the protrusion 17 enters the clamping groove 16 and recovers its shape, the protrusion 17 is clamped in the clamping groove 16 and cannot fall off, thereby connecting the two clamping parts 1.
[0051] Specifically, the material of the protrusion 17 is engineering plastics, which is acid-resistant and alkali-resistant, such as PVE, PVC, PP, PVC, Peek or PVDF. The material is stable, corrosion-resistant, and not easily damaged, which prolongs the service life of the buckle mechanism. This solves the problem that the existing buckle structure materials are easily damaged under specific working conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, and corrosive environment, resulting in a shortened service life.
[0052] In some embodiments, the protrusion 17 and the clip 1 are integrally connected and use the same material, PVE or PVC material. The clip can be prepared by a melt injection molding process, which solves the problem that the production process of some shaft clips is complicated or requires special materials, which increases production costs and is not conducive to market competition.
[0053] See attached Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first positioning hole is provided on both the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, the first positioning hole penetrates the side wall of the shaft positioning hole 2 and communicates with the shaft positioning hole 2, the positioning rod 3 is threadedly connected with the first positioning hole, the positioning rod 3 passes through the first positioning hole and extends into the shaft positioning hole 2 to abut and clamp the shaft parts to prevent the shaft parts from moving in the axial direction. By providing the first positioning holes on both the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, the shaft parts are squeezed and fixed from both sides of the buckle structure, and the shaft parts are fixed, thereby improving the application range of the buckle mechanism.
[0054] See attached Figure 6-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first clamping member 11 is provided with a strip groove 111 extending downward from the upper end opening, and the strip groove 111 provides elasticity for the side wall 112 of the first clamping member 11 located at the upper end to deform radially inward or outward, and the second clamping member 12 is provided at the upper end of the first clamping member 11, and can provide radial inward pressure to the side wall 112 at the upper end of the second clamping member 12. Through the provision of the strip groove 111, the two side walls 112 of the first clamping member 11 have the elasticity to deform radially inward or outward, and the axial parts are clamped and fixed by the two side walls 112. Through the provision of the strip groove 111, the structure of the first clamping member 11 itself has elastic force, and the shaft parts in the strip groove 111 can be clamped and fixed, without the need to provide other elastic clamping structures, so that the buckle structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0055] In some embodiments, arc-shaped surfaces 113 that are recessed inward are symmetrically provided on the left and right side faces of the strip-shaped groove 111, and the curvature of the arc-shaped surfaces 113 is adapted to the curvature of the shaft-like parts. The shaft-like parts are placed between two relatively arranged arc-shaped surfaces 113, and the parts are clamped by the arc-shaped surfaces 113, which can prevent the shaft-like parts from moving up and down. Moreover, by providing multiple groups of arc-shaped surfaces 113, multiple shaft-like parts can be clamped. The distance between two adjacent groups of arc-shaped surfaces 113 is the distance between two adjacent shaft-like parts. By controlling the distance between the two groups of arc-shaped surfaces 113, the axial distance between adjacent shaft-like parts can be controlled.
[0056] See the appendix Figure 6 and the appendix Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a second positioning hole 121 is provided on the second clamping member 12, and two side walls 112 of the strip-shaped groove 111 pass through the second positioning hole 121. The second positioning hole 121 limits the distance between the side walls 112 of the strip-shaped groove 111, making the side walls 112 on both sides of the strip-shaped groove 111 in a clamping state to clamp and fix the shaft-like parts.
[0057] See the appendix Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, there are two second positioning holes 121, which are respectively sleeved on two sides of the strip-shaped groove 111 to fix the positions of the two side walls 112, and further fix the shaft-like parts located in the strip-shaped groove 111.
[0058] See the appendix Figure 7 As shown, there is one second positioning hole 121, and a third positioning hole 122 is provided on the second clamping member 12. The third positioning hole 122 penetrates the side wall of the second positioning hole 121 and communicates with the second positioning hole 121. The third positioning hole 122 is perpendicular to the second positioning hole 121. The positioning rod 3 is threadedly connected to the third positioning hole 122. The positioning rod 3 passes through the third positioning hole 122 and extends into the third positioning hole 122 to abut against the side wall 112 of the first clamping member 11, making the two side walls 112 approach each other and strengthening the clamping force between the side walls 112.
[0059] See the appendix Figure 8 and the appendix Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, limiting sliding grooves 114 extending from the upper end to the lower end are provided on the outer sides of the two side walls 112. The second clamping member 12 is of a "U" - shaped structure, and the second clamping member 12 can slide downward along the limiting sliding grooves 114 to be inserted and fixed with the first clamping member 11, with simple installation and firm fixation.
