[0034] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with embodiments and drawings. It should be noted that the following description is only exemplary and not a specific limitation of the present application.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a clamping structure 1, which comprises a clamping part 11 and a supporting part 12. The clamping part 11 is provided with a clamping hook surface 110, and the supporting part 12 is provided with a supporting surface 120. There is a gap between the supporting surface 120 and the clamping hook surface 110. The supporting part 12 is connected to the clamping part 11. There is a first gap 13 between the end of the supporting part 12 close to the supporting surface 120 and the clamping part 11. The first gap 13 extends along a first direction x. The supporting part 12 comprises a first supporting part 12a and a second supporting part 12b which are spaced apart along a second direction y. The first supporting part 12a is connected to one end of the clamping part 11, and the second supporting part 12b is connected to the other end of the clamping part 11. Alternatively, the clamping part 11 comprises a first clamping part and a second clamping part which are spaced apart along the second direction y. The first clamping part is connected to one end of the supporting part 12, and the second clamping part is connected to the other end of the supporting part 12. The second direction y is arranged at an angle with the first direction x.

[0036] The clamping structure 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application has a gap between the support part 121 of the supporting part 12 and the clamping hook surface 110 of the clamping part 11, so as to reserve installation space for clamping connection between the part to be clamped (hereinafter referred to as the clamped part 2) and the clamping structure 1. The first gap 13 is arranged between the end of the supporting part 12 close to the supporting surface 120 and the clamping part 11, and the first gap 13 extends along the first direction x, so as to facilitate the clamping part 11 to be moved, facilitate the clamping structure 1 to switch the clamping state, and meanwhile, the supporting part 12 comprises the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b which are arranged at intervals along the second direction y, and the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b are respectively connected to the two ends of the clamping part 11 along the second direction y (or the clamping part 11 comprises the first clamping part and the second clamping part which are arranged at intervals along the second direction y, and the first clamping part and the second clamping part are respectively connected to the two ends of the supporting part 12 along the second direction y), and the second direction y is arranged at an angle with the first direction x, so that the clamping structure 1 can be switched in the clamping state while reducing the size of the clamping structure 1 along the second direction y, so as to reduce the volume of the clamping structure 1 and meet the installation requirement of clamping connection in a smaller installation space. It can be seen that, in the clamping structure 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the extension direction of the first gap 13 is changed, so that the structure layout of the supporting part 12 and the clamping part 11 is more compact, so as to reduce the size of the clamping structure 1 along the second direction y, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the volume of the clamping structure 1 and meet the installation requirement of clamping connection in a smaller installation space.

[0037] The clamping structure 1 of the embodiment of the present application can be widely applied to the technical fields of vehicles, manufacturing equipment, intelligent furniture, electronic equipment and the like, and meet the clamping connection of products in different application scenarios in a smaller installation space.

[0038] As described above, in the embodiment of the present application, at least two optional embodiments are included, wherein, please combine Figures 3 to 6 , the first optional embodiment is that the supporting part 12 comprises the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b which are arranged at intervals along the second direction y, the first supporting part 12a is connected to one end of the clamping part 11, and the second supporting part 12b is connected to the other end of the clamping part 11. Thus, the clamping point can be reduced, the operator can be facilitated to assemble, and the clamping state of the clamping structure 1 can be switched.

[0039] The second optional embodiment is that the clamping part 11 comprises the first clamping part and the second clamping part which are arranged at intervals along the second direction y, the first clamping part is connected to one end of the supporting part 12, and the second clamping part is connected to the other end of the supporting part 12. Thus, the clamping point can be increased, and the clamping reliability of the clamping structure 1 can be improved.

[0040] In the first optional embodiment, the supporting member 12 comprises a first supporting part 12a and a second supporting part 12b which are spaced apart along the second direction y, and the number of the buckle members 11 is one.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments, when the supporting member 12 comprises a first supporting part 12a and a second supporting part 12b which are spaced apart along the second direction y, the sides of the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b which are away from each other are flush with the end of the buckle member 11. Thus, the distance between the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b can be less than the length of the buckle member 11 along the second direction y, so as to reduce the size of the clamping structure 1 along the second direction y, and facilitate increasing the area of the connection between the first supporting part 12a, the second supporting part 12b and the buckle member 11, so as to ensure the structural reliability of the clamping structure 1, and in addition, the distance between the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b can be increased, so as to reserve sufficient installation space for the to-be-clamped member 2, and make the structural design of the to-be-clamped member 2 more flexible and free.

[0042] Optionally, the buckle member 11 comprises a main body part 111 and a clamping hook part 112, the clamping hook part 112 is protrusively arranged on the main body part 111, the clamping hook face 110 is arranged on the clamping hook part 112, the first supporting part 12a is connected to one end of the main body part 111, and the second supporting part 12b is connected to the other end of the main body part 111.

[0043] In this way, the clamping hook face 110 of the clamping hook part 112 and the supporting face 120 of the supporting member 12 are matched to realize the clamping connection of the to-be-clamped member 2, and the main body part 111 can position the to-be-clamped member 2, so as to improve the clamping stability of the clamping structure 1.

[0044] Optionally, the clamping hook part 112 is located between the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b, and the length of the clamping hook part 112 along the second direction y is less than or equal to the distance between the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b (see Figure 6 ).

[0045] In this way, the clamping hook part 112 is located between the first supporting part 12a and the second supporting part 12b, which can reduce the size of the clamping hook part 112, facilitate the clamping hook part 112 to be moved, facilitate the switching of the clamping state of the clamping structure 1, and facilitate improving the compactness of the clamping structure 1 and reducing the occupied space of the clamping structure 1.

[0046] It can be understood that in other optional embodiments, the buckle member 11 comprises a first clamping part and a second clamping part which are spaced apart along the second direction y, and the length of the supporting face 120 of the supporting member 12 along the second direction y is less than or equal to the distance between the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

[0047] Optionally, the thickness of the clamping hook portion 112 along the first direction x is less than or equal to the width of the first gap 13 (see Figure 6 ). Thus, the contact area of the clamping hook face 110 with the to-be-clamped member 2 can be reduced to facilitate switching the buckling state by prying the buckle member 11, and the assembly and disassembly of the clamping structure 1 and the to-be-clamped member 2 can be facilitated.

[0048] Optionally, the clamping hook face 110 is arranged at the bottom of the clamping hook portion 112, and the clamping hook face 110 extends upward from the direction in which the main body portion 111 points to the supporting member 12 (i.e., in a direction away from the supporting face 120). Thus, on the one hand, the clamping hook face 110 can play a guiding role, which is conducive to guiding the to-be-clamped member 2 to enter between the clamping hook face 110 and the supporting face 120, and facilitating prying the clamping hook portion 112 to make the to-be-clamped member 2 easily escape, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to adapting to to-be-clamped members 2 of different thicknesses, and realizing buckling connection of to-be-clamped members 2 of different thicknesses.

[0049] In some embodiments, the supporting member 12 includes a support portion 121 and a positioning portion 122, the supporting face 120 is arranged at the top of the support portion 121, the support portion 121 is connected to the main body portion 111 of the buckle member 11, and the positioning portion 122 is connected to the side of the support portion 121 away from the buckle member 11 and is higher than the support portion 121, and the positioning portion 122 is used for clamping positioning along the first direction x with the supporting member 12. Thus, the to-be-clamped member 2 can be positioned to ensure the reliability of the buckling connection.

[0050] Optionally, the side of the positioning portion 122 facing the buckle member 11 is provided with a positioning inclined face 1220. Thus, it is conducive to guiding the to-be-clamped member 2 to enter between the supporting face 120 and the clamping hook face 110, and expanding the application range of the clamping structure 1 to meet the buckling connection of to-be-clamped members 2 of different sizes.

[0051] Optionally, the first gap 13 is formed by hollowing out one end of the support portion 121 close to the supporting face 120, so that the size of the clamping structure 1 along the first direction x can be ensured while the volume of the clamping structure 1 is reduced.

[0052] Optionally, considering that the size of the first gap 13 also affects the structural design of the manufacturing mold, when the local size of the mold is too small, thin steel may occur, resulting in small strength of the mold, and when the size of the first gap 13 is too large, the size of the supporting face 120 is too small, which is not conducive to buckling connection. Therefore, the width of the first gap 13 along the first direction x is 1 mm-3 mm, for example, it can be 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm or 3 mm, etc. Thus, the size of the supporting face 120 can be ensured, and the strength of the mold of the clamping structure 1 can be ensured.

[0053] Optionally, the first gap 13 has a depth of greater than or equal to 4 mm in the direction from the clamping surface 110 to the supporting surface 120, for example, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, or 10 mm, etc. Thus, the clamping strength of the clamping structure 1 can be ensured, and the insertion and extraction force can be reduced, so as to facilitate the movement of the clamping component 11 relative to the first supporting member 12a and the second supporting member 12b, and facilitate switching of the clamping state of the clamping structure 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the clamping structure 1 further comprises a reinforcing support 14 connected to the side of the clamping component 11 away from the supporting component 12, so as to reinforce the strength of the clamping component 11 and avoid the clamping component 11 being broken or snapped.

[0055] Optionally, the number of reinforcing supports 14 is multiple, wherein at least one reinforcing support 14 is connected to the side of the first supporting member 12a away from the second supporting member 12b, and at least another reinforcing support 14 is connected to the side of the second supporting member 12b away from the first supporting member 12a. Thus, the strength of the first supporting member 12a and the second supporting member 12b can be ensured, the structural reliability of the clamping structure 1 can be improved, and the gap between the first supporting member 12a and the second supporting member 12b can be left, so as to reserve installation space for the to-be-clamped member 2, and make the structural design of the to-be-clamped member 2 more flexible and free.

[0056] It can be understood that in another optional embodiment, the clamping component 11 comprises a first clamping member and a second clamping member spaced apart in the second direction y, and the number of reinforcing supports 14 is at least three, and the at least three reinforcing supports 14 are respectively connected to the first clamping member, the second clamping member, and the supporting component 12.

[0057] The above describes the embodiments of the present application in detail in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range of those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
