[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application discloses a crocodile mouth assembly of a safety buckle.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 A crocodile mouth assembly of a safety buckle includes two housings 1, a rotating shaft 2 rotatably mounted on the housing 1, a locking tongue 3 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2, a plurality of positioning shafts 4 fixedly mounted on the housing 1, and a reset assembly 5 slidably mounted in the housing 1. In this embodiment, the locking tongue 3 is rotatably mounted between the two housings 1 and is used to cooperate with the housing 1 to lock the buckle tongue, and the reset assembly 5 abuts against the locking tongue 3 to control the rotation of the locking tongue 3.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, a lock opening 11 for the buckle tongue to enter is provided at one end of the shell 1, and the shell 1 is also penetrated with a mounting shaft hole 12 for the installation of the rotating shaft 2, a positioning through hole 13 for the installation of the positioning shaft 4, and a locking through groove 14 for the reset component 5 to be engaged. Reinforcing ribs 15 and a plurality of limit blocks 16 are formed on the opposite sides of the two shells 1. In this embodiment. The width of the lock opening 11 gradually decreases from the edge of the shell 1 to the middle of the shell 1. The reinforcing ribs 15 and the limit blocks 16 are both formed by the recess of the shell 1, and the recess direction is from any one shell 1 to the other shell 1. There are two positioning through holes 13 on the shell 1, and the two positioning through holes 13 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 1. There are two reinforcing ribs 15 on the shell 1, and the length direction of the reinforcing ribs 15 is parallel to the length direction of the shell 1. The reinforcing ribs 15 are respectively located on both sides of the two positioning through holes 13.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limit block 16 is arranged between the lock 11 and the positioning through hole 13, and two limit blocks 16 form a group, and there are two groups of limit blocks 16 on the housing 1. A limit slide groove 161 for sliding installation of the reset assembly 5 is formed between the two limit blocks 16 arranged in the same group. The limit slide grooves 161 between the two groups of limit blocks 16 are in the same straight line, and the length direction of the limit slide grooves 161 is parallel to the length direction of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the locking through groove 14 is located between the two groups of limit blocks 16, and the mounting shaft hole 12 is located between the lock 11 and the limit block 16.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The locking tongue 3 is a plate-like structure. A locking opening 31 for cooperating with the lock 11 to lock the buckle tongue is provided on the side of the locking tongue 3 close to the lock 11, and a locking groove 32 for the reset assembly 5 to be engaged is provided on the side of the locking tongue 3 away from the lock 11. The locking tongue 3 is also provided with a locking through hole 33 for the reset assembly 5 to be installed. In this embodiment, the locking through hole 33 is located on the side of the locking tongue 3 away from the locking opening 31, and the reset assembly 5 allows the locking tongue 3 to be rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 2 through the locking through hole 33. The locking tongue 3 has a loosening position and an engaging position under the drive of the reset assembly 5. When the locking tongue 3 is in the engaging position, the locking tongue 3 rotates to the opening direction of the locking opening 31 to be perpendicular to the opening direction of the lock 11, so that the buckle tongue placed in the lock 11 is locked in the locking opening under the action of the housing 1 and the locking tongue 3. When the locking tongue 3 is in the release position, the locking tongue 3 rotates until the opening direction of the locking opening 31 is parallel to the opening direction of the lock hole 11 , so that the locked buckle tongue can be released from the locking opening 31 and the lock hole 11 .

[0043] Reference Figure 1The reset assembly 5 includes a locking piece 51, a reset plate 52 and a reset spring 53. In this embodiment, one end of the locking piece 51 abuts against the locking tongue 3, and the other end of the locking piece 51 is detachably connected to the reset plate 52. The locking piece 51 and the reset plate 52 are perpendicular to each other. One end of the reset spring 53 is connected to the reset plate 52 and the other end of the reset spring 53 is connected to the locking through groove 14 of the locking tongue 3.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The locking piece 51 is a plate-shaped structure, and the two sides of the locking piece 51 are slidably installed in the limiting sliding groove 161. The two sides of the locking piece 51 are fixedly connected with the clamping blocks 511. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the locking piece 51 from rotating during the sliding process, the clamping blocks 511 are slidably installed on the locking through groove 14. A clamping groove 512 for clamping the reset plate 52 is provided on the side of the locking piece 51 away from the locking tongue 3.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the locking tongue 3 is in the locking position, the locking piece 51 is located in the locking groove 32 and abuts against the side wall of the locking groove 32 .

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the reset plate 52 is a long plate-shaped structure. The reset plate 52 includes a connecting portion 521, a sliding portion 522 and a reset portion 523. In this embodiment, the sliding portion 522 is located between the connecting portion 521 and the reset portion 523, and the connecting portion 521 is used to connect the locking plate 51 and the reset spring 53. The sliding portion 522 is used for the reset plate 52 to be slidably installed on the housing 1, and the reset portion 523 is used to drive the reset plate 52 to slide.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The connecting portion 521 is provided with a through hole 5211 for engaging the locking piece 51 and a reset through hole 5212 for installing the reset spring 53 on one side of the connecting portion 521 close to the locking piece 51. In this embodiment, when the connecting portion 521 is engaged with the locking piece 51, the connecting portion 521 is located between the limiting blocks 16 of the two housings 1, and the limiting blocks 16 reduce the probability of the connecting portion 521 and the locking piece 51 being separated.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The sliding part 522 is provided with two positioning slots 5221 corresponding to the positioning through holes 13. The positioning shaft 4 is installed in the positioning slots 5221. In this embodiment, the width of the positioning slots 5221 is the same as the width of the positioning shaft 4, so that the sliding part 522 can only slide along the length direction of the housing 1 under the action of the positioning shaft 4.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 A reset opening 5231 is provided at one end of the reset portion 523 away from the sliding portion 522. In this embodiment, the operator can slide the reset portion 523 in a direction away from the sliding portion 522 through the reset opening 5231, thereby driving the reset plate 52 to slide.

[0050] The implementation principle of the crocodile mouth assembly of a safety buckle in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0051] 1. The operator slides the reset plate 52 toward one side of the sliding portion 522 and slides the locking piece 51 connected to the reset plate 52 toward the reset plate 52, so that the locking piece 51 is disengaged from the locking groove 32, and the locking effect of the locking piece 51 on the locking tongue 3 is released;

[0052] 2. Under the action of the reset spring 53, the locking tongue 3 rotates, so that the locking tongue 3 is transformed from the clamping position to the loosening position. After the opening direction of the locking opening 31 is parallel to the direction of the lock opening 11, the buckle tongue is placed in the lock opening 11;

[0053] 3. Under the action of the reset plate 52, the locking tongue 3 rotates, so that the locking tongue 3 is transformed from the loosening position to the engaging position, so that the locking piece 51 is engaged in the locking groove 32, and the buckle tongue is engaged in the crocodile mouth assembly of the safety buckle.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
