[0031] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0032] Embodiment 1:
[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 , which shows a rotary snap lock 100, including a main housing 10 and end connectors 20 fitted on both sides of the main housing 10. The end connectors 20 will be respectively assembled to both ends of the jewelry cord / chain, and the opening and closing actions of the wearing process are completed through the rotary snap lock 100.
[0034] A rotary snap lock 100, the lock includes a main housing 10 and two end connectors 20, wherein the two end connectors 20 are respectively used to connect both ends of the cord chain and are assembled to the main housing in a fixed / removable manner. There are two inner holes 11 at both ends inside the main housing 10, each inner hole 11 corresponding to one end connector 20. At least one of the two end connectors 20 is assembled into the main housing 10 through a movable rotary snap structure. The movable rotary snap structure 30 includes a spring 31, a tightening thin plate 32, a locking pin 33, and a card slot 34. A locking pin 33 is provided inside the main housing 10, and at the same time, the spring 31 is clamped by the tightening thin plate 32 in the inner hole 11 within the locking pin 33. And a shaft head 21 inserted into the inner hole 11 of the main housing 10 is provided on the end connector 20, and a card slot 34 is provided on the shaft head 21, and the card slot 34 rotates to switch to clamp the locking pin / to release the locking pin.
[0035] The two end connectors 20 have two different design forms. The first design form is that both ends are movably opened and locked relative to the main housing 10, and the second design form is that one end is fixed and the other end is movable.
[0036] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 ~the attached Figure 3 , which shows the specific structure of Embodiment 1. The two end connectors 20 are both assembled into the inner holes 11 of the main housing 10 through the movable rotary snap structure 30. Then, shaft heads 21 are provided on both end connectors 20, and card slots 34 are provided on the shaft heads 21.
[0037] The movable rotary clamping structure 30 includes a spring 31, a pressing thin sheet 32, a locking pin 33, and a card slot 34, forming a movable structure that can rotate for locking, maintaining connection, and switching to open and releasing the connection relationship.
[0038] In the inner hole 11 of the main housing 10, a spring 31, a pressing thin sheet 32, and two locking pins 33 are arranged. The pressing thin sheet 32 presses the spring 31 and is disposed at the deepest part of the inner hole 11. The locking pin 33 extends from the radial direction of the inner hole 11 to the inner hole wall to limit the pressing thin sheet 32 and the spring 31.
[0039] Since the pressing thin sheet presses the spring 31 in the inner hole 11, the compressed spring 31 always gives an elastic force pushing outward to push the pressing thin sheet 32. Therefore, the pressing thin sheet 32 and the spring 31 constitute a reset driving force to push the shaft head 21 of the end connector 20 inserted therein.
[0040] The card slot 34 provided on the shaft head 21 plays an important role in clamping. Only when there is no locking pin 33 in the card slot, the shaft head 21 will be pushed outward by the pressing thin sheet 32, and the lock is in the released and open state; when the card slot 34 catches the locking pin 33 after rotation, the locking state of the lock is maintained and the whole is connected.
[0041] Specifically, the card slot 34 includes a through-hole slot 341, a blind-hole slot 342, and a guide slot 343 connecting the through-hole slot 341 and the blind-hole slot 342. When the shaft head 21 presses the pressing thin sheet 32 to compress the spring 31, the through-hole slot 341 of the card slot 34 guides and slides the locking pin 33 and rotates by an angle to limit the locking pin 33 with the blind-hole slot 342, thereby switching the opening and locking of the rotary clamping structure 30.
[0042] The through-hole slot 341 and the blind-hole slot 342 of the card slot 34 are parallel to the axis of the shaft head 21. Corresponding to the positions of the two locking pins 33, two card slots are provided in the circumferential direction of the shaft head 21.
[0043] The circumferential distance between the two locking pins in the movable rotary clamping structure is 180°. Then the circumferential distance between the corresponding two card slots is also 180°. The through-hole slots and blind-hole slots of the two card slots are evenly distributed along the circumference of the shaft head and are 90° apart from each other.
[0044] Embodiment 2:
[0045] Please refer to Appendix Figure 4 and Appendix Figure 5, which shows the structure of Embodiment 2. The general structure of Embodiment 2 is similar to that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that the two end connectors 20 include a fixed end connector 20a and a movable end connector 20b. The fixed end connector 20a is fixedly assembled into the inner hole 11 of the main housing 10, and the movable end connector 20b is assembled into the inner hole 11 of the main housing 10 through a movable rotary clamping structure 30.
[0046] The fixed end connector 20a is inserted into the inner hole 11, and its axial displacement is limited by two locking pins 33 in the hole, and it has a degree of rotational freedom.
[0047] The fixed end connector 20a includes a clamping end 22. There is a connecting neck 23 between the clamping end 22 and the main body of the fixed end connector 20a. The two locking pins 33 are stuck on the connecting neck 23 to limit the fixed end connector.
[0048] So it is equivalent to that the fixed end connector 20a cannot be loosened from the main housing 10 and can rotate freely relative to the main housing 10. The opening and locking structures are placed between the movable end connector 20b and the main housing 10.
[0049] The rotary clamping lock of the present utility model connects the jewelry rope chain through the main housing and the end connector structures designed at both ends of the main housing to complete the locking and opening actions, realizing the locking and unlocking of the two ends of the jewelry rope chain. And this rotary clamping structure allows the shaft head with a card slot to be self-positioned and inserted and then slide in to be aligned. The sliding-in locking structure realizes the pushing and locking through the elastic force of the spring. The structure design is delicate, with high reliability and suitable for single-handed operation and cooperation. It makes the consumer's use experience better and the wearing process simpler.
[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and it does not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model is disclosed above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, when making some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to obtain equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes, but as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical concept of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
