[0026] The clamping part 2 includes a lap plate 201 directly connected with the insertion part 1, the plane where the lap plate 201 is located is perpendicular to the axis of the insertion part 1, one side of the lap plate 201 is connected with a bite plate 202 through a bridge plate 207, the bite plate 202 has a gap with the lap plate 201, the gap between the lap plate 201 and the bite plate 202 is used for matching with the inside clamping shaft of the automobile pillar trim plate, since the clamping shaft is cylindrical, after matching, the metal buckle can rotate within a certain range relative to the automobile pillar trim plate, the side surface of the lap plate 201 opposite to the bite plate 202 has a plurality of equidistantly arranged first tooth grooves 203, the first tooth grooves 203 are all parallel to the bridge plate 207, and the side surface of the bite plate 202 opposite to the lap plate 201 has a plurality of equidistantly arranged second tooth grooves 204, the second tooth grooves 204 are also all parallel to the bridge plate 207, the inner walls of the first tooth grooves 203 and the second tooth grooves 204 are all arc surfaces, which can perfectly match with the clamping shaft inside the automobile pillar trim plate to form a rotating pair, the number and position of the first tooth grooves 203 and the second tooth grooves 204 are corresponding, and the axes of the first tooth grooves 203 and the second tooth grooves 204 at the corresponding positions are collinear, that is to say, the clamping shaft inside the automobile pillar trim plate will simultaneously match with the first tooth grooves 203 and the second tooth grooves 204 at the corresponding positions to form a rotating pair.
[0027] The side of the lap plate 201 away from the bridge plate 207 is an outer convex inclined plate 205, the inclined surface of the outer convex inclined plate 205 is opposite to the bite plate 202, and the side of the bite plate 202 away from the bridge plate 207 is an inner concave inclined plate 206, the inclined surface of the inner concave inclined plate 206 is parallel to the inclined surface of the outer convex inclined plate 205, so that the clamping shaft inside the automobile pillar trim plate can slide into the lap plate 201 and the bite plate 202 along the opposite inclined surfaces of the outer convex inclined plate 205 and the inner concave inclined plate 206.
[0028] Working principle: in use, first buckle the bite plate 202 into the inside of the car column trim, let the fixed and car column trim inside the card shaft through the outer convex inclined plate 205 and the inner concave inclined plate 206 between the lap plate 201 and the bite plate 202 between the corresponding first tooth groove 203 and the second tooth groove 204, then let the car column trim close to the corresponding installation position of the inside of the vehicle A, B, C column, rotate the metal buckle visual plug-in part 1 and the distance between the installation position and the insertion port, push the lap plate 201 to change the tooth groove matched by the card shaft inside the car column trim, until the plug-in part 1 is aligned with the insertion port in the installation position, that is, the end taper head 101 can be inserted into the insertion port, because the outside of the end taper head 101 is pressed, the deformation cavity 103 is narrowed, the larger end of the end taper head 101 is contracted and inserted into the insertion port, when you hear a click, so the limiting card slot 104 and the insertion port have been matched, the metal buckle is installed;
[0029] When the car column trim needs to be removed, the edge of the car column trim needs to be lifted to expose the middle vertebra 102, then the outside of the middle vertebra 102 is pressed symmetrically with respect to the deformation cavity 103, so that the deformation cavity 103 is contracted again, the larger end of the end taper head 101 is narrowed under the traction, that is, it can be slid out of the insertion port of the installation position, finally push the lap plate 201, so that the card shaft inside the car column trim is separated from the lap plate 201 and the bite plate 202, and slides out between the outer convex inclined plate 205 and the inner concave inclined plate 206, the whole metal buckle is disassembled.
