Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically a U-shaped snap-fit ​​connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction industry, U-shaped snap-fit ​​connectors are widely used in curtain wall systems, steel structure connections, and prefabricated component assembly. However, existing U-shaped snap-fit ​​connectors have certain shortcomings in construction applications. Their tensile strength is insufficient, making them prone to deformation under certain impact forces. Furthermore, they lack effective anti-loosening structures during installation, and most U-shaped snap-fit ​​connectors are one-time connections, requiring destructive removal for maintenance, increasing labor costs.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a U-shaped snap-fit ​​connector that is practical, easy to assemble and disassemble, and resistant to loosening and pressure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a U-shaped snap-fit ​​connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a U-shaped buckle connector, comprising a connecting block, the connecting block being U-shaped, the closed end of the connecting block being provided with a flanged locking position, the two side walls of the open end of the connecting block being provided with protrusions and concave blocks, the inner side of the connecting block being provided with a corresponding square latch, the protrusions and the square latch being corresponding, the closed end of the connecting block being provided with a first mounting hole, the square latch being provided with a second mounting hole, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole being corresponding.

[0006] According to the above technical solution, the flanged locking position and the connecting block are perpendicular to each other, and the flanged locking position corresponds to the square lock.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the protrusion is elliptical and protrudes towards the inside of the connecting block.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the concave block is T-shaped and protrudes outward from the connecting block.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the ends of the two side walls of the opening end of the connecting block are provided with bent edges.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0011] (1) By setting up flanged locking positions and protrusions, the vertical flanged structure restricts the displacement of the square buckle, expands the contact area, enhances the fit, and prevents loosening under vibration or load. At the same time, it provides installation guidance, reduces alignment difficulty, and improves construction efficiency. The elliptical protrusions press inward against the bottom of the square buckle to form support and prevent the buckle from sinking or accidentally coming off. The overall connector is easy to quickly disassemble and assemble, simplifying the assembly and maintenance steps;

[0012] (2) By setting concave blocks and T-shaped reinforcing ribs with protruding outer sides, the compressive strength of the connector is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a U-shaped buckle connector, including a connecting block 1, the connecting block 1 being U-shaped, the closed end of the connecting block 1 being provided with a flanged locking position 2, the two side walls of the open end of the connecting block 1 being provided with protrusions 3 and concave blocks 4, the inner side of the connecting block 1 being provided with a square lock, the protrusions 3 and the square lock being corresponding, the closed end of the connecting block 1 being provided with a first mounting hole 5, the square lock being provided with a second mounting hole 6, the first mounting hole 5 and the second mounting hole 6 being corresponding.

[0019] The operator first pushes the square latch along the closed end of connecting block 1. The flanged locking position 2 on one side restricts the position of the square latch while improving the fit between the overall component and the square latch, thus limiting the square latch and preventing it from detaching from the connector. The first mounting hole 5 and the second mounting hole 6 are coaxially fitted, and bolts can be used to tighten them, thereby fixing the connector. Disassembly is simple; just unscrew the bolts for quick assembly and disassembly. The protrusion 3 protrudes inward, positioned directly below the square latch, pressing against it to prevent accidental loosening at the bottom. The recess 4 has added reinforcing ribs, significantly improving the connector's bending and compressive strength and preventing deformation under stress. The flanged locking position 2 provides guidance, facilitating quick alignment and installation of the latch, reducing operational difficulty. The flanged locking position 2 increases the contact area with the square latch, improving the fit and ensuring a stable connection.

[0020] The flanged locking position 2 and the connecting block 1 are perpendicular to each other, and the flanged locking position 2 corresponds to the square lock.

[0021] The flanged locking position 2 is vertical, so that when the square lock enters the interior of the connecting block 1, it can fit the flanged locking position 2 better and ensure a stable connection.

[0022] The protrusion 3 is elliptical and protrudes towards the inside of the connecting block 1.

[0023] The inward protrusion of the protrusion 3 can just fit into the bottom of the square lock, so that the two protrusions 3 can provide some support for the square lock, making it easier for subsequent installation.

[0024] The concave block 4 is T-shaped and protrudes outward from the connecting block 1.

[0025] The protruding part incorporates reinforcing ribs, which significantly improves the bending and compressive strength of the connector and prevents deformation under stress. The concave block 4 is T-shaped; the vertical part can resist shear force, while the horizontal part increases the stress-bearing area and improves bending resistance.

[0026] The ends of the two side walls of the opening end of the connecting block 1 are provided with bent edges.

[0027] After connecting block 1 and the square latch are installed, other components can be installed inside connecting block 1. For example, the interior can hold the keel, and the two curved edges can fit into the recesses on the sides of the keel to complete the installation. In this way, the curved edges can confine the components inside connecting block 1 and prevent them from slipping out.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
