Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic button technology, and in particular to a novel magnetic button. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic buttons are clothing accessories that use magnetic attraction to achieve quick fastening and detachment. They typically consist of a male and a female button, both with built-in magnets or magnetic materials that attract each other to hold them in place. Compared to traditional buttons or snaps, magnetic buttons offer advantages such as ease of operation, one-handed operation, and wide applicability (e.g., clothing, bags, medical aids, etc.).

[0003] However, existing magnetic buttons have certain drawbacks in practical use. For example, the male and female buttons are prone to accidental separation under shear force (lateral force). Traditional axially magnetized magnetic buttons have strong holding force against vertical pulling force, but they are prone to slippage and misalignment under lateral force (such as clothing pulling or friction), leading to failure of the connection between the male and female buttons and making it difficult to guarantee a stable connection. Test data shows that ordinary magnetic buttons are prone to accidental misalignment and separation under lateral force of more than 5N. In addition, existing magnetic buttons usually require the user to directly apply force and pull the male and female buttons apart when separating. This forced separation method can easily cause the fabric to tear or deform after long-term use (especially thin fabrics), which can easily damage clothing and other related products. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a new type of magnetic button that can ensure a stable connection between the male and female buttons and effectively prevent the fabric from tearing or deforming when separating the male and female buttons.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a novel magnetic button, comprising a male button and a female button. A post is formed on one side of the male button, and two limiting blocks are movably installed within the post. Repulsive magnetic elements are respectively provided at the opposite ends of the two limiting blocks. The female button has a slot for the post and limiting blocks to extend into. An annular flange is formed at the opening of the slot, and both ends of the slot pass through the female button. A pressure block is movably installed within the slot corresponding to the position of the limiting blocks.

[0006] Preferably, the insert post has a through groove along its radial direction for accommodating the limiting block, and a guide groove communicating with the through groove is provided on the end face of the insert post. The limiting block is provided with a limiting post extending into the guide groove.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the limiting block away from the insertion post is chamfered, and the annular flange is outwardly flared from bottom to top.

[0008] Preferably, a guide groove communicating with the slot is provided on one side of the female buckle corresponding to the position of the pressure block, and a positioning post extending into the guide groove is provided on the pressure block.

[0009] Preferably, any edge of the pressing block is rounded and chamfered.

[0010] Preferably, a connector is provided on one side of the male buckle and the female buckle.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The novel magnetic button of this utility model, during use, through the insertion and engagement of the insert post and the slot, and the mechanical engagement of the limiting block and the annular flange, not only ensures a stable connection between the male and female buttons, but also effectively resists lateral shearing forces, preventing the male and female buttons from sliding and misaligning and accidentally separating when subjected to lateral forces, thus significantly improving the connection stability and reliability between the male and female buttons.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This utility model proposes a novel magnetic button.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, a novel magnetic button includes a male button 1 and a female button 2. A post 3 is formed on one side of the male button 1. Two limiting blocks 4 are movably installed in the post 3. The opposite ends of the two limiting blocks 4 are respectively provided with repulsive magnetic attracting elements 5. The female button 2 has a slot 6 for the post 3 and the limiting blocks 4 to extend into. An annular flange 7 is formed at the opening of the slot 6. The two ends of the slot 6 pass through the female button 2 respectively. A pressure block 8 is movably installed in the slot 6 corresponding to the position of the limiting block 4.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this novel magnetic button, two limiting blocks 4 are movably installed inside the insert 3 of the male buckle 1. The limiting blocks 4 can be slidably engaged, allowing them to move relative to the insert 3. Simultaneously, by providing like-pair repulsive magnetic elements 5 at opposite ends of the two limiting blocks 4, they can move away from each other after the pressure or load is removed. The structural design is simple and reasonable. Furthermore, since the female buckle 2 has slots 6 for the insert 3 and limiting blocks 4 to insert into, and an annular flange 7 is formed at the opening of the slot 6, the male buckle 1 and female buckle 2 can be securely connected through the insertion of the insert 3 into the slot 6 and the mechanical engagement of the limiting blocks 4 with the annular flange 7.

[0031] Understandably, in the use of this novel magnetic button, when the male button 1's insert 3 is inserted into the female button 2's slot 6, the two limiting blocks 4 inside the insert 3 abut against the annular flange 7 and, under the action of the annular flange 7, move closer to each other and retract into the insert 3, thereby allowing the insert 3 to be fully inserted and accommodated in the slot 6. At this time, the magnetic attracting elements 5 on the two limiting blocks 4 generate a magnetic repulsive force that pushes against each other. After the insert 3 is fully inserted into the slot 6, due to the interaction between the annular flange 7 and the two limiting blocks 4, the magnetic attracting elements 5 generate a magnetic repulsive force that pushes against each other. The blocks 4 are in a spatially staggered position, so that the ends of the two limiting blocks 4 without magnetic suction 5 are ejected back to the outside of the insert 3 under the action of magnetic repulsion and abut against the side wall of the annular flange 7. This enables a stable connection between the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2. Furthermore, the mechanical engagement between the limiting blocks 4 and the annular flange 7 can effectively resist lateral shearing force, preventing the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 from sliding and misaligning and accidentally separating when subjected to lateral force, thus significantly improving the connection stability and reliability between the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2.

[0032] Furthermore, when it is necessary to separate the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2, a pressure block 8 is installed in the slot 6 to limit the position of the corresponding limiting block 4. The pressure block 8 can also be installed in the slot 6 in a sliding snap-fit ​​manner, so that the user can push the two limiting blocks 4 closer to each other and retract them into the insert 3 by pressing the pressure block 8. This releases the mechanical engagement between the limiting block 4 and the annular flange 7, and the user can directly pull out the insert 3 from the slot 6, thereby achieving quick separation between the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 without the user having to pull hard, saving time and effort. It can also effectively prevent the fabric from tearing or deforming when separating the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2, preventing product damage. Moreover, this novel magnetic button is especially suitable for clothing products made of thin fabrics.

[0033] In one embodiment, the insert post 3 has a through groove along its radial direction for accommodating the limiting block 4, and a guide groove 9 communicating with the through groove is formed on the end face of the insert post 3. The limiting block 4 is provided with a limiting post 10 extending into the guide groove 9. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the through groove provides a precise and straight sliding track for the limiting block 4, ensuring that it can smoothly extend and retract along a predetermined path under the action of magnetic repulsion, effectively preventing the limiting block 4 from getting stuck. Furthermore, since the end face of the insert post 3 is provided with a guide groove 9 that communicates with the through groove, the cooperation between the limiting post 10 and the guide groove 9 not only limits the maximum displacement range of the limiting block 4, preventing excessive ejection and structural interference, but also guides the limiting post 10 through the groove wall, so that the limiting block 4 always maintains horizontal movement, thereby ensuring the engagement accuracy with the annular flange 7. The structural design is simple and reasonable.

[0034] In one embodiment, the end of the limiting block 4 away from the insertion post 3 is chamfered, and the annular flange 7 expands outward from bottom to top. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the chamfer at the end of the limiting block 4 allows it to slide smoothly along the inclined surface of the annular flange 7 when inserted into the slot 6, thereby significantly reducing insertion resistance and improving user experience. At the same time, the inclined surface of the outwardly flared annular flange 7 can make progressive contact with the chamfer of the limiting block 4, thus ensuring the smoothness of the retraction process of the limiting block 4 and guiding the insertion of the limiting block 4.

[0035] In one embodiment, a guide groove 11 communicating with the slot 6 is provided on one side of the female buckle 2 corresponding to the position of the pressure block 8, and a positioning post 12 extending into the guide groove 11 is provided on the pressure block 8. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cooperation between the guide groove 11 and the positioning post 12 establishes a precise linear motion trajectory for the pressure block 8, ensuring that the pressure block 8 always acts perpendicularly to the limiting block 4 when the user performs the pressing operation, and thus smoothly and stably pushes the limiting block 4 to retract into the insertion post 3; at the same time, through the limiting effect of the guide groove 11 on the positioning post 12, not only can the pressure block 8 be prevented from rotating and shifting in the slot 6, but the maximum travel of the pressure block 8 is also limited, so that the amount of movement and retraction of the limiting block 4 can be accurately controlled with each pressing operation, thereby ensuring that the limiting block 4 and the annular flange 7 can be completely released from mechanical engagement, and thus realize a fast and stable separation operation between the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0036] In one embodiment, specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, any edge of the pressure block 8 is rounded, which not only effectively prevents the sharp edge of the pressure block 8 from scratching the inner wall of the slot 6, ensuring that the inner wall of the slot 6 is smooth to improve the smoothness of the movement of the pressure block 8, but also prevents the user from getting their hands scratched when pressing the pressure block 8, thus improving the safety of use.

[0037] In one embodiment, a connector 13 is provided on one side of both the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 13 can be a folding piece, a rivet, a pin, etc. The connector 13 of the novel magnetic button of this utility model is preferably a folding piece. By opening an opening at a preset position and bending the folding piece after passing through the opening, the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 can be quickly installed, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance and is simple to operate.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
