Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage strap buckle technology, and in particular to a luggage strap buckle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, luggage strap buckles on the market are mainly used to secure and connect luggage straps. Their structure typically includes a buckle body, a slot, and a locking mechanism, such as common snap-on, swivel, or spring-loaded buckles. The primary function of these buckles is limited to physical connection, ensuring the luggage strap is secure and preventing it from loosening or falling off.

[0003] However, with the increasing demands of modern travel, especially in scenarios such as air freight and long-distance travel, lost or misplaced luggage occurs frequently. To address this issue, users typically purchase separate GPS or Bluetooth location trackers (such as Apple AirTag, Tile, etc.).

[0004] Because existing luggage strap locks do not have a designated place for the tracker, users can only place it inside the suitcase. However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0005] Risk of loss: The suitcase does not have a dedicated space for the GPS tracker, allowing it to move freely inside and potentially shift due to the jostling during transport. The tracker is also susceptible to damage from impacts inside the suitcase. Furthermore, the lack of a designated storage area makes it easy for the tracker to be lost when the suitcase is opened. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a luggage strap lock that can accommodate a tracking and locating device.

[0007] A luggage strap buckle designed for this purpose includes a female buckle and a female buckle that are connected to each other. The female buckle is provided with a mounting cavity, and a tracking locator is provided in the mounting cavity. The female buckle is provided with an activation trigger rod. When the female buckle and the female buckle are fastened together, the activation trigger rod abuts against the activation trigger end of the activation trigger rod.

[0008] Preferably, the female buckle is provided with a mating cavity, and the left and right sides of the mating cavity are provided with locking slots, and the male buckle is provided with locking pieces at intervals on the left and right sides; when the male buckle and the female buckle are fastened together, the locking pieces are inserted into the mating cavity and locked into the locking slots.

[0009] Preferably, the female buckle is provided with a connecting hole, which is interconnected with the mounting cavity and the mating cavity; a trigger element is movably disposed within the connecting hole; the trigger element is movable relative to the connecting hole and can move between a first position and a second position; an elastic element is provided within the female buckle to keep the trigger element in the first position; when the trigger element is in the second position, the trigger element abuts against the starting trigger end of the starting trigger rod; when the male buckle and the female buckle are mated and connected, the starting trigger rod pushes the trigger element from the first position to the second position.

[0010] Preferably, a soft contact element is provided at the end of the trigger near the tracking locator.

[0011] Preferably, limit elements are provided on the triggers on both sides of the connecting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the upper side of the mounting cavity is provided with an opening, and a sealing cover is provided on the upper side of the mounting cavity. The sealing cover is detachably connected to the female buckle.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this invention features a tracking locator installed within the mounting cavity, and a trigger rod on the female buckle. When the female and male buckles are engaged, the trigger rod abuts against its trigger end. This invention secures the tracking locator within the mounting cavity of the female buckle, preventing damage from impacts and loss when placed in a luggage compartment. Furthermore, the trigger rod in this invention can be activated in conjunction with the normally closed tracking device. That is, the normally closed tracking device is only activated for positioning when the female and male buckles are connected. Attached Figure Description

[0026] See Figures 1-4 A luggage strap lock includes a female buckle 10 and a female buckle 20 connected to each other. The female buckle 20 has a mounting cavity 230, and a tracking locator 30 is disposed within the mounting cavity 230. The female buckle 10 has an activation trigger rod 120. When the female buckle 10 and the female buckle 20 are engaged, the activation trigger rod 120 abuts against its activation trigger end. This invention allows the tracking locator to be fixed in the mounting cavity of the female buckle, avoiding damage from collisions and easy loss when placed in a luggage compartment. Furthermore, the activation trigger rod of this invention can be used in conjunction with the normally closed tracking locator for activation. That is, the normally closed tracking locator is only activated for positioning when the female buckle and the female buckle are connected.

[0027] Based on this, the normally closed tracker mentioned can be a commercially available product. Its principle is that the tracker 30 will only start working when the activation trigger terminal is pressed. Otherwise, it will stop working. This function is to save energy and avoid power loss due to prolonged inactivity.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The female buckle 20 is provided with a mating cavity 210, and the mating cavity 210 is provided with slots 220 on the left and right sides. The male buckle 10 is provided with locking pieces 110 at intervals on the left and right sides. When the male buckle 10 and the female buckle 20 are fastened together, the locking pieces 110 are inserted into the mating cavity 210 and locked into the slots 220.

[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The female buckle 20 is provided with a connecting hole 200, which is connected to the mounting cavity 230 and the mating cavity 210. A trigger 410 is movably disposed in the connecting hole 200. The trigger 410 is movably disposed relative to the connecting hole 200 and can move between a first position and a second position. An elastic element 50 is provided in the female buckle 20 to keep the trigger 410 in the first position. When the trigger 410 is in the second position, the trigger 410 abuts against the start trigger end of the start trigger rod 120.

[0030] When the male buckle 10 and female buckle 20 are connected by insertion, the activation trigger rod 120 pushes the trigger member 410 from the first position to the second position. During the movement, the trigger member 410 gradually approaches the tracking locator 30 until the trigger member 410 presses against the activation trigger end of the tracking locator 30.

[0031] See Figure 4 The trigger 410 has a soft contact element 60 at one end near the tracking locator 30. The soft contact element 60 is made of silicone and is designed to prevent damage to the tracker caused by hard contact.

[0032] See Figure 4 Limiting elements 420 are provided on the trigger members 410 on both the front and rear sides of the connecting hole 200. When the trigger member 410 is in the first position, the limiting element 420 on the rear side fits against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 230, thus limiting the movement. When the trigger member 410 is in the second position, the limiting element 420 on the front side fits against the inner wall of the insertion cavity 210, thus limiting the movement.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting cavity 230 has an opening on its upper side, and a sealing cover 240 is provided on the upper side of the mounting cavity 230. The sealing cover 240 is detachably connected to the female buckle 20. The sealing cover 240 is fixed to the female buckle 20 by a snap-fit ​​or bolt connection.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
