Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of strap accessories, in particular to a snap lock structure that is easy to operate. Background Art

[0002] Large handheld instruments, such as guitars and snare drums, are often played with ease. Without proper support, playing them can be inconvenient. For example, the instrument could fall from an unstable grip, which could lead to serious damage. Furthermore, without a handy support, it's difficult for the performer to play comfortably. To address these issues, performers currently use instrument straps, which slide and lock onto the instrument at both ends. This allows the performer to adjust the instrument's position and keeps it securely attached to the performer, preventing it from falling and damaging.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used strap buckle on auxiliary musical instrument straps is a parent-child buckle. When using this parent-child buckle on a musical instrument, the child buckle or the parent buckle of the parent-child buckle needs to be installed on the instrument. Since the parent-child buckle cannot be installed directly on the instrument, it is generally tied to the instrument with a rope or strap. This not only affects the overall aesthetics of the instrument, but also the parent-child buckle blades may scratch the surface of the instrument when placing it in the instrument backpack, causing certain damage to the instrument. Moreover, after long-term use, the rope may break, causing the instrument to accidentally fall and be damaged. In addition, this parent-child buckle usually requires two hands to operate conveniently when buckling or unbuckled. If the user cannot use one hand, it will be inconvenient. Utility Model Content

One end of the sliding lock 2 can be slidably installed inside the snap shell 1, and the other end extends to the outside of the snap shell 1. The unlocking member 4 can be movably mounted on the outer surface of the snap shell 1. One end of the limiting card 3 can be movably mounted on the bottom surface of the unlocking member 4, and the other end can be slidably mounted in the sliding lock 2, so that the unlocking member 4 can be pressed and unlocked by the limiting card 3.

[0031] It should be noted that: in this embodiment, a locking hole 105 is provided on the bottom surface of the buckle housing 1, and two sliding latches 2 are provided. The two sliding latches 2 are symmetrically arranged on the buckle housing 1 in a slidable manner. When the utility model needs to be used, the locking hole 105 of the buckle housing 1 is clamped on the limit pin on the musical instrument, so that the head of the limit pin is clamped in the locking hole 105. Then, two fingers press the sliding latch 2 inward, so that the sliding latch 2 is limited by the limit member 3. Furthermore, the head of the limit pin can be clamped between the two sliding latches 2 in the locking hole 105. In this way, although the limit pin cannot be pulled out, the buckle lock structure of this utility model can also be moved at any angle, which is convenient for adjusting the angle and position of the musical instrument. When unlocking is required, press the unlocking member 4 with one hand. The unlocking member 4 can drive the limit member 3 to move and release the restriction on the sliding latch 2, so that the sliding latch 2 can be reset under the action of the latch return spring 5 and automatically pop out outward, thereby realizing unlocking.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the front end of the sliding latch 2 is provided with a locking groove 201 recessed inward. The side of the locking groove 201 is provided with a limit locking groove 202 with an outer end open. The rear end of the sliding latch 2 is provided with a pressing portion 203 extending outward. The limit locking groove 202 includes a linear sliding groove 204 and a limit groove 205. One end of the linear sliding groove 204 is open, and the other end is connected to the limit groove 205. The inner diameter of the limit groove 205 is larger than the inner diameter of the linear sliding groove 204, and the limit groove 205 is provided with an open end 206. The open end 206 is provided with a transition inclined surface. The outer end of the open end 206 is connected to the inner end of the linear sliding groove 204, so that the open end 206 gradually decreases from the inside of the limit groove 205 to the linear sliding groove 204. A spring limit groove 207 is further provided outside the limit locking groove 202, and a latch return spring 5 is clamped in the spring limit groove 207. The cross section of the limit member 3 is in the shape of "tu". The upper vertical part thereof can be movably inserted into the unlocking member 4, and the middle vertical part is clamped in the limit locking groove 202 of the sliding latch 2. The bottom surface of the unlocking member 4 is provided with a member insertion groove 401 and a spring clamping protrusion 402. The unlocking member return spring 6 is detachably clamped on the spring clamping protrusion 402. The buckle housing 1 includes an upper shell 101 and a bottom cover 102 that are buckled to each other. A latch moving hole 103 is provided on the side of the buckle housing 1, an unlocking member moving hole 104 is provided on the upper end surface of the buckle housing 1, and a locking hole 105 is provided on the bottom surface of the buckle housing 1.

[0033] It should be noted that: in this embodiment, the buckle shell 1 is symmetrically provided with locking movable holes 103 on both sides, and the two sliding lock buckles 2 are movably installed in the two locking movable holes 103. The locking slots 201 of the two sliding lock buckles 2 are symmetrically arranged to form a locking space, and the locking space is arranged correspondingly to the inside and outside of the locking hole 105; the locking slots 201 are symmetrically provided with limiting lock slots 202 on both sides, and the middle vertical limiting part of the limiting card 3 is clamped in the linear slide groove 204 of the limiting lock slot 202, and the vertical part of the upper end is fixedly inserted in the card insertion groove 401 provided on the bottom surface of the unlocking member 4. When the sliding lock buckle 2 is pressed inward, the limiting card 3 slides from the linear slide groove 204 to the limiting slot 205, and under the action of the unlocking member reset spring 6, the limiting card 3 is driven by the unlocking member 4. When the unlocking member 4 is pressed inward, the protrusion at the bottom of the limiting card 3 will move downward, so that the protrusion at the bottom of the limiting card will leave the limiting groove 205 and release the restriction on the sliding lock 2. The sliding lock 2 will automatically pop outward under the action of the lock return spring 5 to achieve unlocking. When the unlocking member 4 is released, the unlocking member 4 will pop up and reset under the action of the unlocking member return spring 6. In this way, the utility model can be operated with one hand without the need for both hands, making the utility model convenient and practical. The bottom surfaces of the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102 are provided with matching snap-fit grooves or snap-fit columns, so that the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102 can be snap-fitted together through the snap-fit grooves or snap-fit columns.
