[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the metal piece of the present application. At least one side of the metal piece 1 is provided with a crimping 11, the crimping 11 is provided with at least one buckle 12, the metal piece 1 is provided with a through hole 13 corresponding to the buckle 12, the buckle 12 is located on the corresponding through hole 13, and the shape of the through hole 13 matches the shape of the buckle 12, and the buckle 12 of another metal piece 1 is arranged in the through hole 13, so that the metal piece 1 and the other metal piece 1 are riveted.
[0026] Specifically, for the convenience of description, the cooperation between the buckle 12 and the through hole 13 of the metal piece 1 described below is the cooperation between the buckle 12 of one metal piece 1 and the through hole 13 of another metal piece 1, and the two metal pieces 1 are defined as a first metal piece and a second metal piece, and the structures of the first metal piece and the second metal piece are the same, that is, both have buckles 12 and through holes 13, and the positions of the buckles 12 and the through holes 13 of the first metal piece are the same as the positions of the buckles 12 and the through holes 13 of the second metal piece. Since the shape of the through hole 13 matches the shape of the buckle 12, the buckle 12 of the second metal piece can be located in the through hole 13 of the first metal piece, realizing the riveting of the first metal piece and the second metal piece.
[0027] The embodiment realizes the riveting between the metal pieces 1 through the structural design of the metal piece 1, that is, the metal piece 1 has the buckle 12 and the through hole 13 corresponding to the buckle 12, thereby realizing the riveting between the metal pieces 1 without the need for additional connection structures such as screws, simplifying the structure of the riveting of the metal pieces 1, reducing the manufacturing cost, and improving the riveting efficiency of the metal pieces 1.
[0028] In an embodiment, the shape of the through hole 13 matches the shape of the buckle 12, and the size of the through hole 13 can be greater than the size of the buckle 12, so that when the buckle 12 of the first metal piece enters the through hole 13 of the second metal piece, there is a certain adjustment space, which reduces the difficulty of the buckle 12 of the first metal piece entering the through hole 13 of the second metal piece and reduces the difficulty of the riveting of the metal pieces 1.
[0029] Specifically, the size of the through hole 13 in the width of the metal piece 1 can be slightly greater than the size of the buckle 12 in the width of the metal piece 1, and the size of the through hole 13 in the height of the metal piece 1 is equal to the size of the buckle 12 in the height of the metal piece 1. So that when the buckle 12 enters the through hole 13, there is a certain left-right adjustment space, and after the buckle 12 enters the through hole 13 and the two metal pieces 1 are riveted, the buckle 12 cannot shake up and down in the through hole 13 due to the size difference between the through hole 13 and the buckle 12 in the height direction of the metal piece 1, which can prevent the two metal pieces 1 from being riveted unstably, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the riveting of the metal pieces 1.
[0030] In another embodiment, two or more buckles 12 can be provided on the curled edge 11, and the same number of through holes 13 as the buckles 12, and the cooperation of multiple buckles 12 and through holes 13 can improve the stability of the riveting of the two metal pieces 1.
[0031] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 1The first side of the metal piece 1 is provided with a first flange 111, and the second side of the metal piece 1 is provided with a second flange 112. The first side and the second side of the metal piece 1 are opposite sides of the metal piece 1. The first flange 111 is provided with a first buckle 121, and the second flange 112 is provided with a second buckle 122. The metal piece 1 is further provided with a first through hole 131 corresponding to the first buckle 121 and a second through hole 132 corresponding to the second buckle 122.
[0032] The buckles 12 on the two sides of the metal piece 1 can further improve the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1. Specifically, the first buckle 121 of the first metal piece can be located in the first through hole 131 of the second metal piece, and the second buckle 122 of the first metal piece can be located in the second through hole 132 of the second metal piece. The cooperation of the first buckle 121 and the second buckle 122 of the first metal piece with the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 on the opposite sides of the second metal piece can improve the stability of the riveting of the first metal piece and the second metal piece. The cooperation of the first buckle 121 and the first through hole 131 can limit the movement of the second metal piece towards the first side from the second side of the metal piece 1, and the cooperation of the second buckle 122 and the second through hole 132 can limit the movement of the second metal piece towards the second side from the first side of the metal piece 1. Thus, the second metal piece is fixedly riveted with the first metal piece, and the riveting efficiency of the metal piece 1 is improved.
[0033] In an embodiment, as described above, the shape of the first through hole 131 can match the shape of the first buckle 121, and the shape of the second through hole 132 can match the shape of the second buckle 122. As shown in Figure 1 , the shapes of the buckles and the through holes are all trapezoidal, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the first buckle 121 in the first through hole 131 and the stability of the installation of the second buckle 122 in the second through hole 132.
[0034] Optionally, the height H2 of the first buckle 121 is equal to the height H1 of the first flange 111, and the height of the second buckle 122 is equal to the height of the second flange 112. Please further refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the metal assembly of the present application.
[0035] It can be understood that Figure 2 the number of metal pieces 1 contained in the metal assembly A shown in
[0036] The plurality of metal pieces 1 can be riveted with each other to form a metal assembly A, as shown in Figure 2For the convenience of description, the uppermost metal piece 1 is defined as the first metal piece, the middle metal piece 1 is defined as the second metal piece, and the lowermost metal piece 1 is defined as the third metal piece.
[0037] The buckle of the third metal piece is arranged in the through hole corresponding to the second metal piece, and the buckle of the second metal piece is arranged in the through hole corresponding to the first metal piece. It is observed that the distance between the third metal piece and the second metal piece is actually the height of the hem of the second metal piece, and the distance between the second metal piece and the first metal piece is actually the height of the hem of the first metal piece. After the buckle of the third metal piece is arranged on the through hole of the second metal piece, the lower end of the buckle of the third metal piece abuts against the bottom plate of the second metal piece, and the upper end can abut against the bottom plate of the third metal piece.
[0038] In this embodiment, by setting the height H2 of the first buckle 121 equal to the height H1 of the first hem 111, it can be ensured that when the first buckle 121 is located in the through hole corresponding to the riveted metal piece 1, the upper end of the first buckle 121 can abut against the bottom plate of another metal piece 1 adjacent to the riveted metal piece 1, and the lower end of the first buckle 121 can abut against the bottom plate of the riveted metal piece 1, so that the bottom plates of the two metal pieces 1 clamp the first buckle 121, preventing the first buckle 121 from moving up and down, ensuring the stability of riveting of the first buckle 121, and improving the stability of riveting of the metal piece 1.
[0039] In other embodiments, if the height of the first hem 111 is not equal to the height of the first buckle 121, after the first buckle 121 is located in the first through hole 131, since the upper end of the first buckle 121 is not limited, the first buckle 121 can move up and down, which can cause unstable installation of the two metal pieces 1, and even cause the metal piece 1 to be separated from another metal piece 1.
[0040] The height of the second buckle 122 is equal to the height of the second hem 112, and the cooperation principle is consistent with that of the height of the first buckle 121 and the height of the first hem 111, which will not be described here.
[0041] By limiting the height of the buckle 12 and the hem 11 arranged thereon, the stability of riveting of the metal piece 1 can be further improved.
[0042] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The projection of the first buckle 121 on the second hem 112 at least partially does not overlap with the second buckle 122. That is, the first buckle 121 and the second buckle 122 are staggered, which further improves the stability of riveting of the metal piece 1.
[0043] For example, the first buckle 121 can be arranged near the first end of the first curled edge 111, the second buckle 122 can be arranged near the second end of the second curled edge 112, the first end of the first curled edge 111 corresponds to the first end of the second curled edge 112, and the second end of the first curled edge 111 corresponds to the second end of the second curled edge 112, so that the first buckle 121 and the second buckle 122 are staggered. After the first metal piece and the second metal piece are stably riveted through the cooperation of the first buckle 121 and the first through hole 131 and the cooperation of the second buckle 122 and the second through hole 132, since the first buckle 121 and the first through hole 131 are located at the first end of the first curled edge 111, that is, the first buckle 121 and the first through hole 131 are located at the first end of the metal piece 1, the stability of the riveting of the first end of the first metal piece and the first end of the second metal piece can be improved, and since the second buckle 122 and the second through hole 132 are located at the second end of the second curled edge 112, that is, at the second end of the metal piece 1, the stability of the riveting of the second end of the first metal piece and the second end of the second metal piece can be improved, the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1 and other metal pieces 1 is further improved, and the riveting efficiency of the metal piece 1 is improved.
[0044] Compared with the first buckle 121 and the second buckle 122 being arranged in the middle part, the first buckle 121 and the second buckle 122 being arranged in a staggered manner can further improve the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1 and improve the user experience of the metal piece 1.
[0045] Optionally, the first buckle 121 comprises a first curved portion 141, and the second buckle 122 comprises a second curved portion 142, the first curved portion 141 faces away from the second buckle 122, and the second curved portion 142 faces away from the first buckle 121.
[0046] Specifically, when the first buckle 121 is located in the first through hole 131, the first curved portion 141 can increase the contact area of the first buckle 121 and the bottom plate of the metal piece 1, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation of the first buckle 121 and the first through hole 131. In an embodiment, if the first buckle 121 is not provided with a curved portion, that is, the first buckle 121 is planar, when the first buckle 121 is located in the first through hole 131, due to the limitation of the plane, the first buckle 121 can only contact the edge of the bottom plate, and the first buckle 121 is prone to falling off, resulting in unstable riveting of the first metal piece and the second metal piece. By arranging the first curved portion 141 on the first buckle 121, the first buckle 121 can contact and abut the non-edge area of the bottom plate when the first buckle 121 is located in the first through hole 131, and the contact area of the first buckle 121 and the bottom plate can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the riveting of the first metal piece and the second metal piece.
[0047] The second bending portion 142 of the second buckle 122 cooperates with the second through hole 132 in the same way as the first bending portion 141 of the first buckle 121 cooperates with the first through hole 131, and thus no further description is given herein.
[0048] Optionally, the metal piece 1 can further be provided with a protruding piece 15, which is arranged corresponding to the through hole 13, and the buckle 12 of another metal piece 1 is arranged in the through hole 13, and the buckle 12 abuts against the protruding piece 15.
[0049] Specifically, as described above, if the buckle 12 is planar, when the buckle 12 is located in the through hole 13, the buckle 12 will contact the edge of the bottom plate, resulting in unstable riveting of the buckle 12. Therefore, the embodiment proposes that the protruding piece 15 is arranged corresponding to the through hole 13, so that when the buckle 12 is located in the through hole 13, the buckle 12 can abut against the protruding piece 15, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the buckle 12 and the through hole 13 and improving the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1.
[0050] In an embodiment, the metal piece 1 can be provided with the protruding piece 15, and the buckle 12 can also be provided with a bending portion, so as to improve the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1. That is, the protruding piece 15 and the bending portion are not set in an alternative manner, and both of them can be set at the same time to improve the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1. Users can set it according to their needs, and the present application does not limit it.
[0051] Optionally, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the metal piece of the present application, wherein the first side of the metal piece 1 is further provided with a third hem 113, and the third hem 113 is arranged staggered with the first hem 111.
[0052] Among them, the third hem 113 is provided with a third buckle 123, the first buckle 121 and the third buckle 123 are arranged spaced apart along the first direction X, the second buckle 122 and the third buckle 123 are arranged spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are arranged intersected.
[0053] Specifically, since the first hem 111 and the third hem 113 are arranged staggered, the riveting of the metal piece 1 of different shapes and sizes can be adapted, and since the third hem 113 is also provided with the third buckle 123, and the first buckle 121 and the third buckle 123 are arranged spaced apart along the first direction X, and the second buckle 122 and the third buckle 123 are arranged spaced apart along the second direction Y, different positions can be fixed during the riveting of the metal piece 1, thereby improving the stability of the riveting of the metal piece 1.
[0054] In summary, in the metal piece 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the riveting between two metal pieces 1 can be achieved by matching the buckle 12 of the metal piece 1 with the through hole 13 of another metal piece 1, without the need for additional connecting structures such as screws, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by respectively arranging the buckle 12 and the through hole 13 on the opposite sides of the metal piece 1, and by arranging the curved portion of the buckle 12, the protruding piece 15 on the metal piece 1, and the like, the stability of the riveting between the two metal pieces 1 can be further improved, thereby improving the user's experience of using the metal piece.
[0055] The present application also provides a metal assembly A, as shown in the drawings. Figure 2 The metal assembly A includes at least two metal pieces 1 as described above, and each metal piece 1 is riveted to other metal pieces 1 by matching the buckle 12 with the through hole 13, so as to form the metal assembly A.
[0056] In an embodiment, the metal piece 1 can be a heat dissipation fin, and multiple heat dissipation fins are riveted by their own structures, thereby obtaining a heat dissipation assembly formed by stacking multiple heat dissipation fins. Therefore, the metal assembly A is a multi-fin heat dissipation assembly. Without the need for installing multiple heat dissipation fins on a fixed plate as in the existing heat dissipation fin installation steps, the installation difficulty of the heat dissipation fin is reduced, and the fixed plate is not needed, thereby reducing the cost of the device, reducing the obstruction to heat, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly formed by the heat dissipation fin provided in the present application, and improving the user's experience of using the heat dissipation assembly.
[0057] The above description is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application.
