Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical stimulation equipment technology, and in particular to a snap-fit structure. Background Technology
[0002] The outer casing of electrical stimulation devices typically consists of an upper cover, a lower shell, and a rubber sleeve. The assembly of the upper cover and rubber sleeve often employs methods such as threaded tightening, integral pressing, adhesive bonding, screw fixing, or one-way snap fasteners, which have the following defects:
[0003] 1. Adhesive bonding: Difficult to disassemble, and the silicone layer is easily damaged during repair;
[0004] 2. One-way latch: It is fixed by only one side claw, which is easy to loosen under vibration.
[0005] 3. Low assembly and disassembly efficiency: The threaded structure requires multiple rotation operations, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the fit of the overall pressing structure can easily lead to deformation of the silicone sleeve edge after long-term use.
[0006] 4. Decreased sealing performance: Mechanical stress is concentrated on local contact surfaces, and repeated disassembly and assembly can easily cause wear on the sealing surfaces, leading to liquid leakage;
[0007] 5. Insufficient compatibility: The connection between the rigid top cover and the flexible silicone sleeve lacks deformation compensation capability and cannot adapt to material combinations with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Utility Model Content
[0008] This utility model proposes a snap-fit structure that allows for fast assembly, is not easily loosened in a vibrating environment, is easy to disassemble, and is not prone to wear on the sealing surface even after repeated disassembly.
[0009] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a snap-fit structure includes an upper cover, a lower shell, and a silicone sleeve. The lower shell is placed inside the silicone sleeve. An annular sealing ring is provided inside the silicone sleeve at the upper end of the lower shell. An elastic vertical beam is provided at an annular interval at the lower end of the upper cover. The elastic vertical beam is placed inside the lower shell and seals against the inner side of the annular sealing ring. The elastic vertical beam is spaced apart from the inner wall of the lower shell. The interval is a stress relief cavity. Hooks are provided on the outer side of some of the elastic vertical beams. A groove that cooperates with the hooks is provided inside the lower shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper side of the annular sealing ring is provided with limit holes at an annular interval, and the lower end of the upper cover is provided with limit posts corresponding to the limit holes.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower end face of the hook is a guide slope.
[0012] Furthermore, the hooks are symmetrically arranged on the elastic vertical beams on both sides of the upper cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the hook is located at the lower end of the elastic vertical beam, and the hook, elastic vertical beam, and top cover are integrally formed.
[0014] Furthermore, the top cover and the limiting post are integrally molded structures.
[0015] Furthermore, the annular sealing ring and the silicone sleeve are integrally molded structures.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] The snap-fit structure of this utility model, through the cooperation of elastic vertical beams, hooks and slots, allows for fast assembly, with the top cover assembly completed in 3 seconds. It is also not easy to loosen in a vibration environment, saving the cost of screws, glue and other materials.
[0018] The buckle structure of this utility model is easy to maintain. The top cover can be disassembled without tools and without damage. The stress relief cavity provides displacement space for the deformation of the elastic vertical beam. Through the deformation of the elastic vertical beam, the buckle is easy to disassemble, and repeated disassembly will not easily cause wear on the sealing surface.
[0019] This invention uses a limiting post embedded in a limiting hole to ensure a better sealing connection between the annular sealing ring and the elastic vertical beam, thus ensuring good sealing performance even after long-term use. Attached Figure Description
