Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trademark and logo technology, and in particular to a hardware logo and a fastening structure including the logo. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of consumption, mid-to-high-end products such as bags and clothing have significantly increased their requirements for the exquisite appearance of brand logos. Traditional printed trademarks or nameplates are gradually being replaced by three-dimensional metal logo components because they are prone to wear and fading. Metal logo components have the advantages of strong metallic texture and high durability, and are widely used in mid-to-high-end products such as bags, clothing, home appliances, and automobiles.

[0003] However, the existing production and packaging processes for three-dimensional hardware signage have significant shortcomings and are difficult to meet the requirements of standardized production. For example, CN110194021B—an integrated production and manufacturing method for multi-piece combined logos—in this method, the sprue of the die-cast part is located on both sides of the sign body. When the sprue is removed after electroplating, traces of incomplete electroplating are easily left at the connection between the sign body and the sprue, resulting in appearance defects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hardware identification component and a fastening structure including the identification component, in order to solve the technical problem of existing appearance defects.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a hardware identification component, including an identification part; the back of the identification part is provided with at least one pin, and the side of the pin has a sprue mark formed by cutting off the sprue part.

[0006] Optionally, the sprue mark is located on one side of the stitch.

[0007] Optionally, the connection between the nozzle and the needle is located in the middle section along the length of the needle.

[0008] Optionally, the number of pins is two or more, arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically on the back of the marking part.

[0009] Optionally, the markings and pins are integrally molded.

[0010] Secondly, this application provides a fastening structure for the aforementioned hardware identification parts, including a rigid washer and an elastic washer;

[0011] The rigid gasket has positioning holes that correspond one-to-one with the pins;

[0012] The elastic pad has elastic locking holes that correspond one-to-one with the pins;

[0013] The elastic gasket is stacked on the side of the rigid gasket away from the marking part.

[0014] Optionally, the inner diameter of the elastic locking hole is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole.

[0015] Optionally, the rigid gasket and the elastic gasket are provided with a foolproof structure.

[0016] Optionally, the rigid gasket is made of iron; the elastic gasket is made of manganese steel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the hardware identification component and the fastening structure including the identification component provided by this utility model are as follows: By ensuring the structural integrity of the identification part and eliminating the sprue mark from the identification part, the process structure prone to defects is placed on the pin, thus optimizing the position of the sprue mark and solving the problem of appearance defects in the prior art. Since the sprue mark is located at the pin position and the pin is completely hidden inside the product during final installation, the sprue mark formed on it will not be exposed to the external visible range. This solves the problem of electroplating defects caused by the cutting of the sprue mark on the appearance surface and does not affect the aesthetics of the front or side of the identification component.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The hardware identification component and the fastening structure including the identification component in the embodiments of this utility model will now be described.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-2This application provides a hardware identification component, including an identification part 1; the back of the identification part 1 is provided with at least one pin 2, and the side of the pin 2 has a sprue mark 3 formed by cutting off the sprue part 4.

[0031] Specifically, after die-casting the metal identification part with the sprue 4, the outer surface of the identification part 1 and the pin 2 is first electroplated to ensure complete electroplating coverage. During installation, the pin 2 of the metal identification part is passed through the product to be installed using a pressing device, and then the sprue 4 is cut off, forming a single-sided sprue mark 3 in the middle section of the pin 2. The sprue mark 3 is placed on the pin 2 to ensure that the identification part 1 is free of any defects, ensuring the exquisite appearance and meeting the visual requirements of high-end products such as bags and clothing.

[0032] By ensuring the structural integrity of the marking section 1 and eliminating the sprue section 4 from the marking section 1, the defect-prone process structure is placed on the pin 2, thus optimizing the position of the sprue section 4. Die casting is performed through the pin 2. Since the pin 2 is completely hidden inside the product during final installation, the sprue mark 3 formed on the pin 2 will not be exposed to the external visual range. This differs from the existing technology where the marking section 1 is demolded from both sides, which inevitably leaves cutting marks or incomplete electroplating defects on the appearance surface after the sprue is cut. This solves the problem of electroplating defects caused by the cutting of the sprue section 4 in the existing technology, significantly improving the appearance quality and aesthetics of the product.

[0033] The production process has been optimized to meet the demands of standardized and mass production. During die casting, multiple marking sections 1 are pre-arranged in the mold according to the required sequence, ensuring that the marking sections 1 on each die-cast part are arranged in the final order. This eliminates the tedious manual assembly process of manually arranging each part individually, saving time and effort and significantly improving efficiency. Furthermore, the entire orderly arranged assembly can be electroplated as a single unit. Compared to electroplating individual letters or numbers separately before assembly, this process is not only simpler and more convenient but also effectively avoids plating damage or uneven quality caused by multiple clamping operations, ensuring the consistency and reliability of the overall product quality.

[0034] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1-2 The sprue mark 3 is located on one side of the needle 2.

[0035] Specifically, the sprue mark 3 is located on one side of the pin 2, that is, the sprue part 4 is on one side of the pin 2, which reduces the contact points with the product and avoids irreversible indentation caused by force on both sides of the product during installation; if the sprue mark 3 is located on both sides of the pin 2, that is, the sprue part 4 is on both sides of the pin 2, the removal of the sprue part 4 on both sides of the pin 2 during installation can easily cause double-sided squeezing of flexible products such as leather bags, resulting in indentation.

[0036] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1The connection point between the sprue 4 and the needle 2 is located in the middle section along the length of the needle 2.

[0037] Specifically, the connection position of the middle section avoids the marking part 1, while ensuring that the remaining length of the stitch 2 after cutting is sufficient to thread the fastening structure.

[0038] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The number of pins 2 is two or more, arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically on the back of the marking part 1.

[0039] Specifically, two or more symmetrically or evenly arranged pins 2 form multi-point fixation, which disperses the force, prevents the marking component from shifting after installation, and improves stability.

[0040] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The marking part 1 and the pin 2 are integrally molded structures.

[0041] Specifically, the die-casting process is used to make the connection between the marking part 1 and the pin 2 seamless, which improves the structural strength, prevents the pin 2 from falling off, and extends the service life.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 This application also provides a fastening structure for a hardware identification component, including a rigid washer 5 and an elastic washer 6;

[0043] The rigid pad 5 has positioning holes 51 that correspond one-to-one with the pins 2;

[0044] The elastic pad 6 has elastic locking holes 61 that correspond one-to-one with the pins 2;

[0045] The elastic gasket 6 is stacked on the side of the rigid gasket 5 away from the marking part 1.

[0046] Specifically, the positioning hole 51 can be set as a round hole, which enables precise alignment of the pin 2; the elastic locking hole 61 includes cross-shaped, plum blossom-shaped, any shape with a cut, and any other hole type that can achieve elastic deformation function. The elastic locking hole 61 clamps the pin 2 through deformation, improving installation efficiency and ensuring no loosening after fixing; during installation, the hardware identification part with the sprue 4 is placed into the lower mold of the pressing equipment; with the pin 2 facing upward, the elastic pad 6 and the rigid pad 5 are placed in the upper mold of the pressing equipment. The outer edge contours of the elastic pad 6 and the rigid pad 5 are consistent, with only the shape of the positioning hole 51 being different from that of the elastic locking hole 61, ensuring that there is no misalignment at the edges when the two are stacked, and ensuring that the holes of the rigid pad 5 and the elastic pad 6 are aligned during assembly without additional adjustment, shortening the assembly time and reducing labor costs; products that need to be installed with hardware identification parts are placed between the upper mold and the lower mold.

[0047] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3The inner diameter of the elastic locking hole 61 is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole 51.

[0048] Specifically, the identification component and the fastening structure complement each other: the iron sheet is responsible for accurately fitting the pin 2, the diameter of the positioning hole 51 is larger than the diameter of the pin 2, the pin 2 can easily pass through the positioning hole 51 to achieve pre-positioning and avoid the nameplate from being crooked; the inner circle diameter of the elastic locking hole 61 is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole 51 and smaller than the diameter of the pin 2, and uses its own deformation characteristics to lock the pin 2, solving the single defect of poor positioning or loose fixing in traditional structures, and ensuring that the hardware identification component will not fall off or shift during long-term use.

[0049] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The rigid gasket 5 and the elastic gasket 6 are provided with a foolproof structure 7.

[0050] Specifically, semi-circular notches are provided at corresponding positions on the edges of the rigid gasket 5 and the elastic gasket 6. When the notches face the same direction, the positioning hole 51 and the elastic locking hole 61 can be coaxially aligned. When installing the rigid gasket 5 and the elastic gasket 6 on the press, it is easy to distinguish the front and back positions and improve the installation efficiency.

[0051] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 Rigid gasket 5 is made of iron; elastic gasket 6 is made of manganese steel.

[0052] Specifically, the rigid gasket 5 is preferably an iron sheet, which serves a positioning function. The iron sheet ensures that the positioning hole 51 does not deform. The thickness of the rigid gasket 5 is greater than the thickness of the elastic gasket 6, ensuring that the pin 2 can be accurately inserted into the positioning hole 51 of the rigid gasket 5. The elastic gasket 6 is preferably a manganese steel sheet, which serves a fixing function. The properties of manganese steel, combined with the shape of the elastic locking hole 61, ensure that the pin 2 can be locked after passing through the elastic locking hole 61, preventing the hardware marking parts from shifting.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
