Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts, specifically to a plastic buckle. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, fasteners are key components ensuring the secure connection of various parts, and their performance directly affects the safety, reliability, and overall quality of a vehicle. Traditional automotive fasteners are mostly made of metals, such as steel and aluminum alloys. Metal fasteners, due to their high strength, high hardness, and good heat resistance, have long dominated automotive manufacturing, widely used in connections of critical parts such as engines, chassis, and bodies. However, with the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of vehicle performance requirements, the limitations of traditional metal fasteners have gradually become apparent. Regarding corrosion resistance, vehicles inevitably come into contact with various complex environments during daily use, such as humid air, rainwater, salt, and various chemicals. Metal fasteners are prone to corrosion in these environments. Once corrosion occurs, it not only reduces the mechanical properties of the fasteners, leading to loose connections and affecting the safety and reliability of the vehicle, but also increases maintenance costs and repair frequency.
[0003] From a manufacturing cost perspective, metal materials are relatively expensive, especially some high-performance metal materials. Furthermore, the processing of metal fasteners is usually complex, requiring multiple steps such as forging, stamping, cutting, and heat treatment, which not only increases processing costs but also reduces production efficiency. In addition, the assembly of metal fasteners often requires specialized tools and equipment, increasing assembly costs and difficulty. Based on these shortcomings of traditional metal fasteners, plastic fasteners have emerged and are gradually being used in the automotive industry. Plastic fasteners use high-performance engineering plastics as raw materials, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyamide (PA). These high-performance engineering plastics possess a range of excellent properties that effectively compensate for the shortcomings of metal fasteners; therefore, a plastic clip needs to be designed to solve the aforementioned problems.
