Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-purpose buckle. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, many products require the connection and fixation of two components. There are various existing connection and fixation methods, with threaded connections being the most common. Taking downlights as an example, for instance... Figure 1 As shown, the color temperature adjustment PCB board A of ultra-thin downlights needs to be fixed to the sheet metal back plate B, mostly by riveting a stud or fixing it with a screw C with a median. This not only takes up space, but also has low production efficiency and is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and provide a multi-purpose buckle with simple structure and convenient operation, and its application in downlights.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A multi-purpose buckle includes a buckle head, with a downwardly extending insertion post at the center of the buckle head. Inclined spring arms are formed on both sides of the insertion post. A buckle one is formed on the upper side of the spring arms and a buckle two is formed on the lower side. The buckle one and buckle two cooperate to connect the two parts into one piece.
[0006] Furthermore, the two components include component one and component two. Component one has a slot that matches the buckle head. The bottom plate of the slot has an empty slot. The buckle extends into the slot, with its head accommodated in the slot. The spring arm extends through the empty slot to the bottom of the slot to ensure that buckle one is locked in place by the bottom plate of the slot. Component two has two spacer slots. Component two is attached upwards to component one, ensuring that the lower part of the buckle passes through the two spacer slots so that buckle two is locked in place on the connecting plate between the two slots, thus locking and fixing component one and component two.
[0007] Furthermore, two insert plates are formed on the insert post perpendicular to the spring arm, and a groove is formed at the corresponding position on the slot bottom plate of component one to ensure that the two insert plates are inserted into the groove and limited when the insert post is inserted.
[0008] Furthermore, the multi-purpose buckle is used to fix the downlight color temperature adjustment PCB board to the sheet metal back plate. The sheet metal back plate is component one, and the color temperature adjustment PCB board is component two. The sheet metal back plate has two slots that fit the buckle head. A through groove is opened between the two slots. The bottom plate of the two slots has empty slots corresponding to the spring arm positions. The empty slots form two grooves vertically. The buckle extends into the slot, and the buckle head is accommodated in the slot. The spring arm and the insert plate extend through the empty slot and the groove to the bottom of the slot to ensure that buckle one is locked in the slot bottom plate for positioning. The color temperature adjustment PCB board has two spaced through grooves corresponding to the slots of the sheet metal back plate. A toggle switch with a toggle cover is installed between the two spaced through grooves. The color temperature adjustment PCB board is attached upward to the sheet metal back plate, ensuring that the lower part of the buckle passes through the two spaced through grooves so that buckle two is locked on the connecting plate between the two through grooves, locking and fixing the sheet metal back plate and the color temperature adjustment PCB board, and ensuring that the toggle switch with the toggle cover extends out of the through groove of the sheet metal back plate.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art which uses a stud for riveting or a screw with a median, this utility model has a multi-purpose buckle that is fixed to component one (sheet metal back plate) by its own spring arm and fixed to component two (PCB board) by the buckle at the tail. The structure is simple and the installation and operation are convenient.
[0010] The multi-purpose buckle of this utility model can be used not only for the installation of downlights, but also for a variety of products that require the connection and fixation of two parts. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a multi-purpose buckle includes a buckle head 1, with a post 2 extending downward from the center of the buckle head 1. Inclined spring arms 3 are formed on both sides of the post. Two insert plates 21 are formed on the post 2 perpendicular to the spring arms. A buckle 31 is formed outward from the upper side of the spring arms 3, and a buckle 32 is formed inward from the lower side. The buckle 31 and the buckle 32 cooperate to connect the two parts into one piece.
[0017] Taking the multi-purpose clip for fixing the color temperature adjustment PCB board and sheet metal back plate of downlights as an example, the sheet metal back plate 4 is component one, and the color temperature adjustment PCB board 5 is component two. The sheet metal back plate 4 has two slots 41 that are adapted to the clip head 11. A through groove 42 is opened in the middle of the two slots 41. The bottom plate of the two slots 41 has empty slots 411 corresponding to the spring arm positions. The empty slots form two grooves 412 in the vertical direction. During installation, the clip extends into the slot 41, the clip head 11 is accommodated in the slot 41, and the spring arm 3 and the insert plate 21 extend out through the empty slots 411 and the grooves 412. Below the slot 41, the buckle 31 is secured to the base plate of the slot 41 for positioning; the color temperature PCB board 5 has two spaced through slots 51 corresponding to the slot 41 of the sheet metal back plate 4, and a toggle switch 52 with a toggle cover is installed between the two spaced through slots 51. The color temperature PCB board 5 is attached upward to the sheet metal back plate 4, ensuring that the lower part of the buckle passes through the two spaced through slots 51 so that the buckle 32 is secured to the connecting plate between the two through slots 51, thus securing and fixing the sheet metal back plate 4 and the color temperature PCB board 5, and ensuring that the toggle switch 52 with the toggle cover extends out of the through slot 42 of the sheet metal back plate.
[0018] Compared to existing technologies that use riveting to a stud or fixing with a screw with a connecting element, this utility model features a multi-purpose clip that secures itself to component one (sheet metal back plate) via its own spring arm and to component two (PCB board) via a clip at the tail. The structure is simple and installation is convenient. It can be used not only for downlight installations but also for various products requiring the connection and fixing of two components.
