[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, an integrally molded buckle includes a buckle part 1 and a fixed mounting part 2. The fixed mounting part 2 includes a connecting part 22 and a fixing ring 21. The fixing ring 21 is fixedly connected to both ends of the buckle part 1 through the connecting part 22. The buckle part 1, the connecting part 22 and the fixing ring 21 are integrally molded structures.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inner end of the connecting part 22 is fixedly connected to the locking part 1, and the outer end of the connecting part 22 extends outward and curls to form a fixing ring 21. The fixing ring 21 is located at the center of the front and rear sides of the locking part 1, and the positions of the fixing rings 21 on the front and rear sides of the locking part 1 are symmetrically arranged with the locking part 1 as the center. This centrally symmetrical structure has good overall stability. The two sides of the locking part are centrally symmetrical, and the force is evenly distributed.

[0023] In this embodiment, the latching part 1 is a vertically arranged door-shaped structure, including a latch rod 11 and a vertically arranged upright rod 12; the upper end of the upright rod 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the latch rod 11, and the lower end of the upright rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the connecting part 22.

[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting part 22 and the fixing ring 21 are in the same horizontal plane. This structure forms an installation plane, which makes it convenient to install the latch onto the door frame.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting part 22 and a fixing ring 21 form a set of fixing installation parts 2. The lower end of the upright rod 12 of the locking part 1 is connected to a fixing installation part 2. When viewed from the position of the buckle rod 11 toward the horizontal plane where the fixing ring 21 is located, the curling direction of the fixing ring 21 connected to the outer end of each connecting part 22 is simultaneously clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0026] In this embodiment, when viewed from the position of the latch 11 towards the horizontal plane where the fixing ring 21 is located, the connecting portions 22 on the front and rear sides of the latching part 1 are arranged opposite each other. The inner end of the connecting portion 22-1 on the front side of the latching part is fixedly connected to the upright 12-1 on the left side of the latching part, and the outer end of the connecting portion is tilted to the right. The inner end of the connecting portion 22-2 on the rear side of the latching part is fixedly connected to the upright 12-2 on the right side of the latching part, and the outer end of the connecting portion 22 is tilted to the left. Alternatively, the inner end of the connecting portion 22-1 on the front side of the latching part is fixedly connected to the upright 12-2 on the right side of the latching part, and the outer end of the connecting portion is tilted to the left. The inner end of the connecting portion 22-2 on the rear side of the latching part is fixedly connected to the upright 12-1 on the left side of the latching part, and the outer end of the connecting portion is tilted to the right. This centrally symmetrical structure is designed to ensure that the forces on both sides of the latching part are evenly distributed.

[0027] In this embodiment, the locking part 1 and the connecting part 22, and the connecting part 22 and the fixing ring 21 are all connected by arc-shaped transitions. This utility model adopts an integral molding structure and uses arc-shaped transition connections, so the product is not easy to crack or break even when it encounters violent forces during use, and the product has high strength.

[0028] In this embodiment, the one-piece molded buckle is made of spring steel, a common material used in production. It has low requirements for production and processing, is easy to process, and reduces production costs.

[0029] In terms of operating principle, during the production process, taking the installation of the one-piece molded latch onto the door frame as an example, during installation, select the mounting plane on the door frame, take the plane where the fixing ring 21 of the one-piece molded latch is located as the mounting surface, select the installation position on the mounting plane, and use fasteners to install the two fixing rings 21 onto the mounting plane. The intersection of the line connecting the two fixing rings 21 is the center of the latch. The latch part 1 protrudes from the mounting plane to engage with the door lock, making the operation convenient and quick.
