Certain terms used to describe this application are discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art regarding the description of this application.
[0066] The terms "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. used in this article are all directional terms. In this case, they are only used to illustrate the positional relationship between the various structures, and are not used to limit the protection plan of this case and the specific direction during actual implementation.
[0067] See attached Figure 1-5 As shown, a hook-type buckle mechanism includes a front cover 1, a rear cover 2, an unlocking structure 3 and two locking hooks 4.
[0068] The front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 overlap, forming a cavity for accommodating the unlocking structure 3. An entrance 5 for the two locking hooks 4 is formed on each side wall. The front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 are removably connected by screws. To seal the entrance 5, the contact area between the locking hooks 4 and the entrance 5 can be engaged by a stopper structure.
[0069] The unlocking structure 3 includes a driving part 31, an unlocking block 32 and an elastic reset structure 33. The unlocking block 32 is movably arranged between the driving part 31 and the elastic reset structure 33 and abuts against both of them, so that the unlocking block 32 can slide up and down in the cavity under the bidirectional force of the driving part 31 and the elastic reset structure 33.
[0070] in:
[0071] The unlocking block 32 has two hook portions 321 .
[0072] The elastic restoring structure 33 applies elastic force to the unlocking block 32 , so that the two locking hooks 4 passing through the inlet 5 are engaged with the two hook portions 321 in a one-to-one correspondence and maintain the locked state.
[0073] The driving portion 31 applies a thrust to the unlocking block 32 , causing the two hook portions 321 to be decoupled from the two locking hooks 4 .
[0074] The hook portion 321 and the lock hook 4 are interlocking hook-shaped, and their engaging surfaces (the first engaging surface 3211 on the hook portion 321 and the second engaging surface 41 on the lock hook 4) are parallel to the thrust direction, so that the two engaging surfaces separate under the thrust of the driving portion 31. In other embodiments, the two engaging surfaces may also be arranged at a smaller acute angle to the thrust direction, as long as separation is facilitated.
[0075] After the lock hook 4 is separated from the hook portion 321, the lock hook 4 will not pop out automatically, so a structure for ejecting the lock hook 4 is required: the unlocking block 32 has two ejecting portions 322, and the two ejecting portions 322 correspond to the two lock hooks 4 one by one; the ejecting portions 322 cooperate with the lock hook 4 on the same side through wedge surfaces (the first wedge surface 3221 on the ejecting portion 322 and the second wedge surface 42 on the lock hook 4), and the two wedge surfaces are distributed at an acute angle to the thrust direction, so that when the driving portion 31 further applies thrust to the unlocking block 32, the ejecting portions 322 eject the two lock hooks 4 to the outside of the entrance 5.
[0076] The driving portion 31 is a button 311. One end of the button 311 extends through and outside the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2. The other end of the button 311 slidably engages with the slide rail 6 in the cavity and is retained in the cavity by a stop 7. During operation, the button 311 engages with the slide rail 6 to ensure that it steadily pushes the unlocking block 32 downward, and the stop 7 prevents the button 311 from dislodging from the cavity.
[0077] The other end of the button 311 is connected to a push rod 312. The end of the push rod 312 passes through the unlocking block 32 and is connected to an elastic support structure 34 provided on the inner wall of the front cover 1 or the rear cover 2. In this embodiment, the elastic support structure 34 is provided on the inner wall of the rear cover 2. The elastic support structure 34 includes a spring fixing seat 341, a support spring 342, and a spring clamping seat 343. The spring fixing seat 341 includes an upper sleeve and a lower positioning column that are integrally provided. The upper sleeve of the spring fixing seat 341 is sleeved on the end of the push rod 312. One end of the support spring 342 is sleeved on the outside of the lower positioning column of the spring fixing seat 341, and the other end is clamped in the spring clamping seat 343. The spring clamping seat 343 is fixed to the inner wall of the front cover 1 or the rear cover 2. In this embodiment, the spring clamping seat 343 is fixed to the inner wall of the rear cover 2.
[0078] Since the entire buckle is relatively thin and the internal cavity space is limited, in order to ensure the strength of the elastic support structure 34, the volume of the elastic support structure 34 needs to be maximized. Therefore, the spring fixing seat 341 and the push rod 312 are set separately. During installation, the push rod 312 passes through the waist-shaped hole 323 and is connected to the spring fixing seat 341. At this time, the volume of the spring fixing seat 341 is not limited by the waist-shaped hole 323.
[0079] In this embodiment, the stiffness coefficient of the support spring 342 can be set larger, which can give the button 311 an upward elastic force, so that the button 311 is reset and the button 311 has better pressing comfort when pressed, and also prevents the button 311 from being easily touched by mistake.
[0080] The unlocking block 32 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 323 for passing the push rod 312. The waist-shaped hole 323 is arranged towards the hook portion 321 on both sides, so that when the lock hook 4 on one side is buckled with the hook portion 321, the unlocking block 32 swings towards the lock hook 4 on the other side under the limitation of the push rod 312.
[0081] The design of the waist-shaped hole 323 allows the unlocking block 32 to swing left and right relative to the button 311 when the lock hook 4 is inserted on one side. Specifically, when the left lock hook 4 is inserted, the hook portion 321 cooperates with the curved hook of the lock hook 4, causing the unlocking block 32 to move downward as a whole, with the left side lower and the right side higher. However, due to the restriction of the waist-shaped hole 323 on the push rod 312, the upper end of the unlocking block 32 has a limited swing range and will not disengage from the push rod 312. When the right lock hook 4 is inserted, the unlocking block 32 returns to a balanced state on both sides, and the left lock hook 4 will not be unhooked. Without the waist-shaped hole 323, the unlocking block 32 can only slide up and down. After the lock hook 4 on one side is inserted, the unlocking block 32 will move downward as the lock hook 4 on the other side is inserted, causing the first inserted lock hook 4 to be unhooked.
[0082] The elastic reset structure 33 includes at least one pair of unlocking springs 331, each pair of unlocking springs 331 corresponding to the two hook portions 321. One end of the unlocking spring 331 is sleeved on the limiting column 3212 on the two hook portions 321, and the other end is clamped in the clamping seat 332 on the inner wall of the front cover 1 or the rear cover 2. In this embodiment, the unlocking spring 331 is provided in a pair, and the clamping seat 332 is fixed on the inner wall of the rear cover 2. Figure 2-3 In other embodiments, the unlocking springs 331 may be provided in two or more pairs.
[0083] The diameter of the limiting column 3212 is smaller than the inner diameter of the unlocking spring 331, so that when the lock hook 4 on one side is engaged with the hook portion 321, the limiting column 3212 swings inside the unlocking spring 331. This design allows the limiting column 3212 to swing freely inside the unlocking spring 331 when the unlocking block 32 swings, without damaging the unlocking spring 331.
[0084] In this embodiment, the stiffness coefficient of the unlocking spring 331 can be set to be smaller so that the lock hook 4 can be easily engaged with the hook portion 321 when inserted.
[0085] The cross-section of the opposing surfaces of the button 311 and the unlocking block 32 is trapezoidal, which can increase the contact area between the button 311 and the unlocking block 32 on the one hand, so that the button 311 has a better pushing feel when pressed; on the other hand, it can facilitate the swinging of the unlocking block 32 when the lock hook 4 is inserted.
[0086] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
