[0028] Reference Figure 1A latch mounting base includes: a base 100, a connecting structure 105, a plurality of clamping jaws 200, and a magnetic structure 500; the connecting structure 105 is provided on the base 100 and is used to install and / or fix the base 100; the plurality of clamping jaws 200 are provided on the base 100, at least one clamping jaw 200 is movable relative to the base 100, and at least two clamping jaws 200 are movable relative to each other, and at least two clamping jaws 200 are movable closer or further apart; the magnetic structure 500 is provided on the base 100 and is capable of attracting and positioning the latch through its own magnetism. After the base 100 is connected to a bracket, a leg, or the like via the connecting structure 105, the base 100 can be installed in a predetermined position. Thereafter, by bringing the two clamping jaws 200 closer together and clamping the latch, the latch can be directly and effectively installed and positioned, thereby facilitating stable operation of the latch. During the installation process of the latch and the base 100, the magnetic structure 500 can magnetically adsorb the latch, thereby guiding the latch to move to a predetermined position through the magnetic effect, and then effectively positioning and guiding the latch and the base 100, so that the two can be installed and connected more accurately and smoothly.

[0029] Specifically, the connection structure 105 includes holes formed in the bottom of the base 100, through which rods, screws, bolts, and other components can be connected to the legs or brackets. Of course, the connection structure 105 can also be composed of other components, such as snaps. The specific implementation is not exclusive and can be adjusted accordingly based on actual circumstances, and is not limited here.

[0030] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 2 There are two clamping jaws 200, both of which are movably mounted on the base 100, and the two clamping jaws 200 are located on both sides of the base 100. The two clamping jaws 200 can approach each other from both sides of the base 100, thereby clamping the latch to the middle of the base 100, thereby directly and effectively achieving the effect of positioning and clamping the latch and the mounting base.

[0031] It is contemplated that the clamping jaws 200 may be provided in other numbers and in other distribution arrangements, such as four clamping jaws 200 distributed around the base 100 and moving relative to the center of the base 100. The specific implementation is not exclusive and can be adjusted accordingly based on actual circumstances, and is not intended to be limiting herein.

[0032] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3A spring 230 is installed within the base 100, and the two clamping jaws 200 are connected to both ends of the spring 230. The spring 230 can drive the two clamping jaws 200 to move closer or farther relative to each other. The spring 230 can elastically pull or push the two clamping jaws 200 within the base 100, so that the two clamping jaws 200 always have a tendency to move closer or farther from each other, thereby ensuring that the two clamping jaws 200 can automatically and continuously clamp the latch, thereby completing the clamping and installation operation of the latch.

[0033] It is conceivable that the two clamping jaws 200 can also be driven and positioned by other components, such as by the threaded connection effect of a threaded component. The specific implementation is not unique and can be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0034] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3 The base 100 is provided with a support platform 400. The support platform 400 and the connecting structure 105 are respectively located on either side of the base 100. The two clamping jaws 200 are respectively located on either side of the support platform 400, and the magnetic structure 500 is located on the support platform 400. The support platform 400 is used to support the latch and enable the latch to be positioned relative to the base 100. In addition, the support platform 400 can also cooperate with the base 100 to position the clamping jaws 200 and the connecting structure 105, thereby effectively preventing the latch from interfering with the installation position of the base 100 during movement, thereby improving the stability of the latch.

[0035] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 4 The base 100 is provided with a connecting screw 700, and the supporting platform 400 is provided with a connecting portion 450, and the connecting screw 700 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 450. The threaded connection between the connecting screw 700 and the connecting portion 450 not only has the advantage of easy installation, but also allows for simple and quick disassembly between the base 100 and the supporting platform 400 during maintenance and replacement, so that the two can be easily separated, thereby facilitating maintenance and component replacement operations between the base 100 and the supporting platform 400.

[0036] It is envisioned that when the support platform 400 and the base 100 are separated, a portion of the clamping jaw 200 will enter the base 100 and be installed between the support platform 400 and the base 100, thereby completing the installation of the clamping jaw 200. Of course, the specific installation method of the clamping jaw 200 is not unique and can be adjusted accordingly according to actual circumstances, and is not limited here.

[0037] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3The clamping jaw 200 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 250, and the connecting screw 700 and / or the connecting portion 450 are movably inserted into the strip-shaped hole 250. The strip-shaped hole 250 can not only cooperate with the connecting screw 700 and / or the connecting portion 450 to guide and limit the movement of the clamping jaw 200, but the relative assembly between the strip-shaped hole 250, the connecting screw 700, and the connecting portion 450 can also effectively achieve the effect of positioning the clamping jaw 200, thereby ensuring that the clamping jaw 200 can be accurately installed in the base 100.

[0038] Specifically, after the connecting screw 700 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 450, both the connecting screw 700 and the connecting portion 450 are inserted into the strip-shaped hole 250. Of course, only the connecting portion 450 or only the connecting screw 700 may be located in the strip-shaped hole 250. The specific implementation is not limited to a single embodiment and can be adjusted accordingly according to actual circumstances, and is not limited here.

[0039] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 1 The support platform 400 is provided with a latching structure 300, which is used to lock and position the support platform 400 and the latch. The latching structure 300 can cooperate with the magnetic structure 500 to further position the latch and the base 100 relative to each other, thereby effectively improving the installation accuracy of the latch and preventing the latch from misaligning.

[0040] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 2 The latching structure 300 includes a latching post 310 mounted on the support platform 400. Both sides of the latching post 310 are provided with latching posts 320. The latching posts 310 and the latching posts 320 are capable of engaging with the latch. The latching posts 310 and the latching posts 320 can cooperate to achieve a multi-point latching effect on the latch. Therefore, the latch and the base 100 can be positioned and connected at multiple locations, thereby improving the connection accuracy between the latch and the base 100.

[0041] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 4 The magnetic attraction structure 500 includes a magnet 510 fixedly mounted on the base 100. The magnet 510 is capable of magnetically attracting the latch. The magnet 510 can magnetically attract ferromagnetic metal materials, causing the latch body or ferromagnetic components on the latch to automatically move toward the location of the magnet 510, thereby achieving a positioning effect between the latch and the base 100 through this displacement effect.

[0042] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer wall of the magnet 510 is provided with an anti-skid pad 520. After the latch and the base 100 are positioned and connected, the anti-skid pad 520 can effectively prevent the relative shaking or movement between the latch and the base 100, thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the latch.

[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
