[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application. Moreover, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0021] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a module buckle device 100 in an unlocked state according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Referring to Figure 1 The module buckle device 100 is used to fix the module 10 in a device (not shown in the figure). Figure 1 The module 10 shown has a module top cover 11, a module bottom shell 12 and a module panel 13, the module bottom shell 12 is further surrounded by a bottom plate 121 and left and right side plates 122 and 123 connected to the left and right sides of the bottom plate 121 into a half-frame type, the module top cover 11 is connected to the upper ends of the left and right side plates 122 and 123 of the module bottom shell 12, and the module panel 13 is connected to the front ends of the module bottom shell 12 and the module top cover 11. Figure 1 The module 10 shown takes the bottom plate 121 of the module bottom shell 12 as a fixing base plate and takes the module top cover 11 as a mounting side to be fixed with the device through the module buckle device 100.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1 The module buckle device 100 mainly consists of a buckle spring 20 and a handle 30, the buckle spring 20 is used to buckle and fix the module 10 with the device, and the handle 30 is used to lock the buckle spring 20 to avoid the module 10 from being pulled out of the device. One end of the buckle spring 20 is fixed in a mounting groove 14 extending from the inside of the module top cover 11 to the module panel 13, and the other end extends out of the front of the module panel 13, thereby forming a structure that can be elastically deformed by pressing the other end extending out to drive the buckle block 25 arranged on the buckle spring 20 to move downward. The handle 30 is rotatably arranged below the buckle spring 20, and rotating the handle 30 upward makes the boss 34 on the handle 30 abut against the buckle spring, so as to lock the buckle spring 20 and prevent the buckle block 25 from being pulled out of the buckle position.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1As shown, the snap-on spring 20 includes a first snap-on cantilever 21, a bent connecting arm 22, and a second snap-on cantilever 23. One end of the first snap-on cantilever 21 is fixed to the inside of the module top cover 11 via a rivet 24 within the mounting slot 14. The other end of the first snap-on cantilever 21 extends from the mounting slot 14 to the module panel 13 and connects to one end of the bent connecting arm 22. The other end of the bent connecting arm 22 bends inward relative to the first snap-on cantilever 21 and extends to connect to one end of the second snap-on cantilever 23. The other end of the second snap-on cantilever 23 extends forward of the module panel 13 and is provided with a pressing handle 26. This design of the snap-on spring 20 bends at a certain angle toward the inside of the module to avoid occupying space outside the module 10. Two snap-on blocks 25 are arranged side by side on the first snap-on cantilever 21 within the mounting slot 14. These two snap-on blocks 25 extend from two mounting holes 111 formed in the module top cover 11 and extending through the mounting slot 14, for snap-on fixation with the device. Pressing the pressing handle 26 at the end of the second snap-on cantilever 23 causes the second snap-on cantilever 23 to elastically deform downward, causing the first snap-on cantilever 21 to move downward, thereby driving the two snap-on blocks 25 to retract from the two mounting holes 111, disengaging their snap positions and releasing their snap-on fixation with the device. A notch 131 is formed at the top of the module panel 13, facing the mounting slot 14, to provide space for the first snap-on cantilever 21 to deform and shift.
[0024] See further Figure 1 As shown, the handle 30 includes a pull rod 31 and two rotating arms 32 connected to both ends of the pull rod 31. The ends of the two rotating arms 32 away from the pull rod 31 are respectively rotatably connected to the module 10 on both sides of the snap spring 20, so that the pull rod 31 can face the snap spring 20. Figure 1 As shown, mounting arms 15 extend from the front ends of the left and right panels 122, 123 on either side of the module 10, respectively. The two pivoting arms 32 of the handle 30 are rotatably connected to the two mounting arms 15. Furthermore, the mounting arms 15 include a first extension arm 151 extending from the left or right panel 122, 123, out the front of the module panel 13; a bent extension arm 152 connected to the other end of the first extension arm 151 and bent at a predetermined angle relative to the first extension arm 151 toward the inside of the module; and a second extension arm 153 connected to the other end of the bent extension arm 152, extending toward the front of the module panel 13. The two pivoting arms 32 of the handle 30 are rotatably connected to the second extension arms 153 of the mounting arms 15, respectively, via, for example, a riveted shaft 33. This design of the mounting arms 15 bent at a predetermined angle toward the inside of the module also avoids occupying space outside the module 10.
[0025] See also Figure 1 Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a boss 34 is provided on the pull rod 31 of the handle 30 at a position corresponding to the snap spring 30 on a side away from the two rotating arms 32. When the handle 30 is rotated 90 degrees upward relative to the module 10 by the two rotating arms 32 and is in a vertical position, the boss 34 on the pull rod 31 abuts against the second snap cantilever 23 of the snap spring 20, supporting the second snap cantilever 23 and thereby locking the snap spring 20 and preventing the snap block 25 on the snap spring 20 from disengaging. Furthermore, a first fastener 35 may be provided on the handle 30, and a second fastener 132 cooperating with the first fastener 35 may be provided on the module panel 10. When the pull rod 31 of the handle 30 rotates until the boss 34 on the pull rod 31 abuts against the second snap cantilever 23, the handle 30 can be locked relative to the module 10 through the cooperation of the first fastener 35 and the second fastener 132, thereby locking the space where the snap spring 20 is pressed, and completely fixing the module 10 in the equipment, avoiding the risk of the module 10 falling out of the equipment during testing, operation, transportation, etc. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the first fastener 35 is a captive screw arranged at a position on the pull rod 31 away from the boss 34, and the second fastener 132 is a nut riveted to a corresponding position on the module panel 13. When the pull rod 31 is rotated until the boss 34 abuts against the second snap cantilever 23, the captive screw is tightened with the nut on the module panel 13, so that the handle 30 can be locked relative to the module 10 and cannot rotate, thereby locking the snap spring 20.
[0026] The specific operation process of fixing the module 10 by the module clip device 100 according to the above embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0027] The first step is to install the module 10 with the module clip device 100 installed into the device, as shown in the following figure: Figure 1 As shown, the module 10 is fixed by extending two buckle blocks 25 on the module top cover 11 and buckling with the device;
[0028] In the second step, the handle 30 is rotated upward by 90 degrees to a vertical state, so that the boss 34 on the pull rod 31 abuts against the bottom of the second buckle cantilever 23 of the buckle spring 20. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown;
[0029] In the third step, the first fastener 35 on the handle 30 is locked with the second fastener 132 on the module panel 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handle 30 is fixed in position, thereby locking the snap spring 20, so that the module 10 is completely fixed in the device;
[0030] Step 4: When the module 10 needs to be pulled out of the device, the first fastener 35 and the second fastener 132 are loosened, and the handle 30 is rotated downward in the opposite direction to move the boss 34 on the handle 30 away from the second snap arm 23 of the snap spring 20;
[0031] In the fifth step, the pressing operation portion 26 of the snap spring 20 is pressed, so that the snap block 25 moves downward and back along with the elastic deformation of the snap spring 20 and leaves the snap position. Then, the module 10 can be pulled out of the device through the handle 30.
[0032] According to the above-described embodiment of the present application, the module 10 is fixed to the device using the module top cover 11 as the mounting side, but the present application is obviously not limited to this. According to different embodiments of the present application, the module 10 can also flexibly select the left side plate 122 or the right side plate 123 of the module bottom shell 12 as the mounting side to fix to the device according to the needs of the actual application. In this case, the snap spring 20 can be set on the left or right side of the module 10, and the two rotating arms 32 of the handle 30 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the module 10. The snap spring 20 is locked or unlocked by rotating the handle 30 left and right to achieve the fixing requirements in different directions.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
