Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a snap-fit ​​connector is provided, wherein... Figure 1 It is a push-type snap-fit ​​connector. Figure 2 It is a reverse-push type snap-fit ​​connector. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the ceiling panel 3 to the keel 4 using the two types of snap-fit ​​connectors described above. The basic structure and working principle of the two types of snap-fit ​​connectors are the same, both including a first connecting part 1 and a second connecting part 2. The first connecting part 1 includes a first mounting piece 11, a base plate 13, and a spring piece 12. The second connecting part 2 includes a second mounting piece 21 and a plug-in piece 22. The spring piece 12 is fixed to the first mounting piece 11, the base plate 13 is connected to the first mounting piece 11, the spring piece 12 is parallel to the base plate 13, and the plug-in piece 22 is inserted between the spring piece 12 and the base plate 13. The first connecting part 1 is connected to the second connecting part 2 through the spring piece 12 and the plug-in piece 22.

[0026] The specific working principle is as follows: One side of the keel 4 is pre-connected to the first mounting piece 11 of the first connecting part 1. Then, the ceiling panel 3 is provided with a second connecting part 2 corresponding to the position of the first connecting part 1. The upper surface of the ceiling panel 3 is connected to the second mounting piece 21. Then, the plug-in piece 22 is inserted between the corresponding spring piece 12 and the base plate 13 to complete the snap-fit ​​connection, achieving rapid installation of the ceiling panel 3 and the keel 4. The snap-fit ​​connector has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and improves work efficiency.

[0027] Furthermore, the width of the insert piece 22 is greater than the width of the spring piece 12, and the width of the insert piece 22 is less than the width of the base plate 13, which facilitates the engagement of the insert piece 22 with the spring piece 12 and increases the contact surface between the spring piece 12 and the insert piece 22. At the same time, the end of the insert piece 22 is provided with an inclined upward anti-removal piece 221. When the insert piece 22 is inserted between the spring piece 12 and the base plate 13, the inclined anti-removal piece 221 abuts against the end of the spring piece 12, making the insert piece 22 difficult to remove.

[0028] Furthermore, the base plate 13 is perpendicular to the first mounting piece 11, and the spring piece 12 includes a horizontal section 121 and an arc-shaped section 122. The horizontal section 121 is perpendicular to the first mounting piece 11. After the first mounting piece 11 is fixed to the keel 4, the base plate 13 perpendicular to the first mounting piece 11 and the spring piece 12 above the base plate 13 can be easily connected to the second connecting part 2 to realize the vertical connection between the ceiling panel 3 and the keel 4.

[0029] Meanwhile, the lowest point of the arc segment 122 abuts against the base plate 13, so that after the plug-in piece 22 is inserted between the arc segment 122 and the base plate 13, the arc segment 122 of the spring piece 12 can press against the plug-in piece 22, providing a certain pressure to prevent the plug-in piece 22 from coming out.

[0030] Both the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 21 are provided with openings for screw fixing, which can be fixed to the corresponding keel 4 and ceiling plate 3 by screws to improve the connection strength. At the same time, the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 21 can also be connected to the corresponding keel 4 and ceiling plate 3 by means of bonding, welding or other methods.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, for the push-type snap-fit ​​connector, the first mounting piece 11 has a vertical first connecting plate 14 in the middle, and the horizontal section 121 is fixed to the first connecting plate 14 by riveting. The opening of the spring piece 12 faces the first mounting piece 11. The second connecting part 2 has a Z-shaped structure.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, for the reverse-push type snap-fit ​​connector, an L-shaped second connecting plate 15 is provided below the first mounting piece 11. One end of the second connecting plate 15 is fixed to the first mounting piece 11, and the other end of the second connecting plate 15 is fixed to the base plate 13. The horizontal section 121 is riveted to the second connecting plate 15, and the opening direction of the spring piece 12 is away from the first mounting piece 11. The second connecting part 2 has a U-shaped structure.

[0033] Continue as Figure 3 As shown, the ceiling panel 3 is connected to the left keel 4 using a push-type snap-fit ​​connector, while the ceiling panel 3 is connected to the right keel 4 using a reverse-push type snap-fit ​​connector. When the ceiling panel 3 is pushed to the left, the snap-fit ​​connectors on both sides are inserted accordingly, thus installing the ceiling panel 3. When the ceiling panel 3 is moved to the right, a little force is required to disengage the insert piece 22 from the spring piece 12, at which point the snap-fit ​​connectors on both sides are disengaged, thus removing the ceiling panel. By using two types of snap-fit ​​connectors arranged opposite each other, the ceiling panel 3 can be inserted and removed in the same direction, facilitating operation.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom plate 13 of the flat-push buckle connector is provided with limiting baffles 131 on both sides, which restrict the plug-in piece 22 between the two limiting baffles to ensure the plug-in with the spring piece 12.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plug-in piece 22 with the reverse push-type snap-fit ​​connection has limiting parts 222 on both sides, which facilitates the insertion of the plug-in piece 22 into the corresponding spring piece 12.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be protected within the scope of the appended claims.
