Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] This embodiment provides a fastening device to solve the problems of fastening devices being difficult to adjust, having poor aesthetics, and having poor flexibility of use in related technologies.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 13 to 15 This embodiment provides a fastening device for adjusting the tightness of an item to be fastened. The fastening device includes an adjusting assembly 100 and a strap assembly 200. The adjusting assembly 100 includes a base 110 and an adjusting member 120. The adjusting member 120 is movably mounted on the base 110 and can be fixed relative to the base 110. A first sliding member is provided on the base 110 along the adjusting direction, and a second sliding member is provided on the adjusting member 120. The second sliding member is installed inside the first sliding member and can slide relative to the first sliding member along the adjusting direction. A first connecting portion 130 is provided on the base 110 or the adjusting member 120. The strap assembly 200 is provided with a second connecting portion and a strap portion 220. The second connecting portion is located at one end of the strap portion 220 and is detachably mounted on the first connecting portion 130. The end of the strap portion 220 away from the second connecting portion is connected to the base 110, the adjusting member 120, or the item to be fastened.
[0033] Specifically, when using the fastening device of this embodiment, the adjusting member 120 is installed on the base 110. By changing the relative position of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110, the relative position of the strap part 220 and the item to be fastened is changed. After adjusting to a suitable position, the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 are fixed relative to each other, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the tightness.
[0034] Changing the relative position of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 essentially changes the relative position of the first sliding member and the second sliding member. The first sliding member is positioned on the base 110 along the adjustment direction, serving as the sliding basis for the second sliding member, which is then slidably mounted on the first sliding member. In actual use, the first and second sliding members can be configured as any existing structure or component as needed. For example, the first sliding member can be configured as a groove 111, and the second sliding member as a slider, which is slidably mounted within the groove 111 to achieve relative adjustment between the first and second sliding members. Alternatively, the first sliding member can be configured as a groove 111, with teeth on one side of the groove 111, and the second sliding member can be correspondingly configured as a gear. The gear meshes with the teeth, allowing the second sliding member to slide within the first sliding member along the adjustment direction when rotated, thus achieving the adjustment purpose. Of course, the actual structure of the first and second sliding members is not limited to the two described above; other suitable structures are also possible.
[0035] It is understood that, based on the above, the relative fixing method of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 can also be adapted to different adjustment methods, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0036] In detail regarding the usage of this embodiment, when the first connecting part 130 is disposed on the base 110, one end of the strap part 220 is provided with a second connecting part, which is detachably mounted on the first connecting part 130. The end of the strap part 220 away from the second connecting part is connected to the adjusting member 120, and the strap part 220 wraps around the position on the item to be tightened that needs to be tightened. In other words, at this time, one end of the strap part 220 is connected to the base 110, and the other end is connected to the adjusting member 120 to form a closed body, and the item to be tightened is placed between the closed bodies. When it is necessary to adjust the item to be tightened, the relative position of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 is changed, that is, the length of the strap part 220 is changed, thereby changing the degree of tightening of the strap part 220 on the item to be tightened; when the length of the strap part 220 is in a suitable position, and the item to be tightened is tightened, the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 are fixed relative to each other, that is, the adjustment is completed.
[0037] When the first connecting part 130 is provided on the adjusting member 120, one end of the strap part 220 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 130 through the second connecting part, and the end of the strap part 220 away from the second connecting part can be connected to the base 110 or the item to be fastened.
[0038] When one end of the strap 220 is connected to the base 110, both ends of the strap 220 are connected to the base 110 and the adjusting member 120 respectively, forming a closed body between the base 110 and the adjusting member 120. The position of the item to be tightened is also set in the closed body. The tightening degree can be adjusted by changing the relative position of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110.
[0039] When one end of the strap 220 is connected to the item to be fastened, the base 110 is positioned on one side of the fastening location, and the end of the strap 220 is connected to the other side of the fastening location. During adjustment, the end of the strap 220 away from the item to be fastened is detachably connected to the adjusting member 120 via the second connecting part and the first connecting part 130. The adjusting member 120 is slidably mounted on the base 110. By changing the relative position of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110, the distance between the base 110 and the connection point between the strap 220 and the item to be fastened is changed, thereby adjusting the tightness of the item to be fastened.
[0040] The fastening device of this embodiment can flexibly connect the base 110 and the strap 220 to different positions according to different usage scenarios to meet the different fastening requirements of different items to be fastened. It is flexible and adaptable, with a wide range of applications. During use, only the relative positions of the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 need to be adjusted, making it simple to operate and convenient for the elderly and children. After installation, the adjusting member 120 will cover the base 110, and the base 110 will in turn cover the installation position of the fastening device on the item to be fastened, ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. In actual use, decorative parts can also be added to the adjusting member 120 to further enhance the aesthetics of this embodiment, allowing it to be applied to clothing, bags, and other items where aesthetics are important.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figures 13 to 15As shown, exemplarily, the first sliding member is configured as a groove 111, with an adjusting tooth 112 provided on one side within the groove 111. The second sliding member is configured as an adjusting gear 122, which is rotatably mounted on the adjusting member 120. The adjusting gear 122 is installed within the groove 111, and meshes with the adjusting tooth 112. The adjusting gear 122 rolls within the groove 111, and its rotational motion, through meshing with the adjusting tooth 112, is converted into linear motion of the adjusting member 120 along the groove 111. By rotating the adjusting gear 122, continuous and stepless movement of the adjusting member 120 can be achieved, allowing the user to adjust the tightness to the most comfortable and precise position, without the "gear" limitations of traditional D-ring buckles. The gear pitch determines the minimum adjustment step. By designing a small-module gear and fine adjusting teeth 112, millimeter-level or even finer adjustment precision can be achieved, meeting the requirements of items with extremely high fit requirements, such as high-end sports shoes and medical protective gear.
[0042] When the fastening device is subjected to tension, the tension is transmitted to the adjusting gear 122 through the adjusting member 120, attempting to make the gear slide along the slide groove 111. However, since the gear meshes with the single-sided rack, the tension will generate a tendency to press the gear against the toothless side of the slide groove 111, thereby increasing the friction between the gear and the wall of the slide groove 111. At the same time, the meshing of the gear teeth and the rack teeth also provides mechanical resistance. The single-sided rack also enables the gear to press more effectively against the toothless side of the slide groove 111 wall when under force, maximizing the wedging effect and friction, thereby achieving reliable self-locking. In actual use, by setting the shape and tooth spacing of the gear and teeth, it can be effectively ensured that the adjusting member 120 and the base 110 can only move relative to each other when adjusted by the user with external force, and can be relatively self-locked when there is no external force.
[0043] The adjustment process involves the gear rolling on the rack, where the friction is much less than the sliding friction of the slider within the groove 111. Therefore, the adjustment feels smoother. In this embodiment, the adjusting member 120 can be equipped with a lever for rotating the adjusting gear 122, forming a lever that allows the user to drive the gear with less force, thereby easily adjusting a larger tightening force. This smooth and effortless operation makes it easy for even elderly people or children with limited strength to adjust the tightness.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 13 to 15 As shown, for example, the tooth profile of the adjusting gear 122 can be set as spur teeth, helical teeth, double helical teeth, or cylindrical teeth. The tooth profile of the adjusting teeth 112 in the slide groove 111 corresponds to that of the adjusting gear 122 and is set as spur teeth, helical teeth, double helical teeth, or cylindrical teeth that can mesh with the adjusting gear 122.
[0045] In detail, spur gears and racks have the most mature, simplest, and lowest-cost manufacturing processes, making them suitable for mass production. During meshing, only normal force is applied, with no axial component force, resulting in minimal energy loss. It is easy to ensure tooth profile accuracy, guaranteeing precise adjustment. They are suitable for everyday items that are cost-sensitive, require high adjustment precision, but do not demand high levels of noise and extremely smooth operation, such as ordinary backpacks and casual shoes.
[0046] Helical teeth engage and disengage gradually, resulting in a smooth and continuous meshing process that significantly reduces impact and vibration, making adjustments extremely smooth and quiet. Simultaneously, more teeth participate in the meshing, leading to higher overlap and more even load distribution, enabling the adjustment to withstand greater tightening forces. Due to the smooth meshing, the overall dynamic performance of the adjustment process is improved. This makes it suitable for high-end products with extremely high requirements for handling and quiet operation, such as high-end athletic shoes, precision instrument bags, and medical protective gear.
[0047] Double helical gears consist of two sets of helical teeth facing opposite directions, resembling a fishbone. The axial forces generated by the two sets of helical teeth are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, canceling each other out. Therefore, no additional thrust bearing is needed, simplifying the structure. They also feature high overlap ratio, high load capacity, high stability, and low noise. Furthermore, the elimination of axial force handling allows for a more compact overall design. However, they also present the problem of highly complex manufacturing and high cost. They are suitable for special applications with extreme performance requirements and where cost is not a primary concern.
[0048] Adjusting gear 122 and adjusting tooth 112 can be configured as round teeth, or adjusting gear 122 can be a worm and adjusting tooth 112 can be a worm wheel. Worm gear drives have inherent self-locking characteristics, making reverse drive virtually impossible and providing the highest level of anti-loosening protection. A small worm rotation angle can produce a large linear displacement, allowing for very precise adjustment. The meshing is a sliding contact, resulting in very smooth operation. However, worm gear drives have lower transmission efficiency and are more complex to manufacture. They are suitable for applications with extremely high safety requirements and where loosening is absolutely impossible, such as safety belts, mountaineering equipment, and heavy industrial bags.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figures 13 to 15 As shown, for example, the base 110 is provided with a sewing groove 113 for sewing the base 110 to the item to be fastened; the sewing groove 113 is formed within the slide groove 111 and does not contact the adjusting teeth 112. Traditional installation methods, such as drilling holes on the surface or edge of the base 110, will leave obvious seams and needle holes, affecting the product's appearance. The sewing groove 113 is located inside the slide groove 111, and the stitching is completely hidden under the structure of the slide groove 111. From the outside and top surface of the base 110, no stitching marks are visible, and the entire device surface is smooth and complete, achieving a "seamless" or "invisible installation" effect. This allows the fastening device to blend seamlessly with clothing, bags, etc., resulting in a simple, modern, and high-end appearance, meeting the needs of products with high aesthetic requirements.
[0050] The seam groove 113 is cut into the slide groove 111, which serves as the main load-bearing structure, and the stitching is directly fixed to the strongest part. The stitching point is located in the central area of the base 110. When the tie part 220 is under stress, the tension can be evenly transmitted to the stitching line through the base 110, avoiding stress concentration at the edges. Compared to sewing on thin edges, this method of sewing in the thick slide groove 111 area provides stronger tensile and tear resistance and a more secure installation.
[0051] The sewing groove 113 is used for mounting and fixing, while the adjusting gear 112 is used for functional transmission. The two are completely isolated in space. This ensures that the stitching thread, thread ends, or minor deformations caused by sewing will not enter the area of the adjusting gear 112, thus eliminating the risk of the thread getting stuck between the gear and the rack. When the adjusting gear 122 rolls within the groove 111, its path is completely clean and unobstructed, ensuring absolutely smooth and reliable adjustment operation.
[0052] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting part 130 is disposed on the adjusting member 120, and the first connecting part 130 is provided with a first protrusion 131. The belt assembly 200 includes a connecting plate 210, one end of which is provided with a first groove 230, and the first protrusion 131 can be engaged in the first groove 230; the strap part 220 is disposed on the end of the connecting plate 210 away from the first groove 230.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first protrusion 131 is directly engaged with the first groove 230 on the connecting plate 210 to connect the belt assembly 200 and the adjusting member 120. The connection method is simple and easy to operate. As long as the protrusion and groove fit well, the connection remains stable even when the belt is under tension, and it is not easy to fall off. Compared with flat bonding or magnetic attraction, the interlocking structure of the protrusion and groove is less likely to slip off when subjected to lateral force.
[0054] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first connecting portion 130 is disposed on the side of the base 110 away from the adjusting member 120. The first connecting portion 130 includes a second protrusion 132, which is inclined towards the base 110 along the adjusting direction of the adjusting assembly 100. The belt assembly 200 includes a connecting plate 210, one end of which has a second groove 240. The second groove 240 is correspondingly disposed to the second protrusion 132, so that the second protrusion 132 can be engaged in the second groove 240. The strap portion 220 is disposed at the edge of the connecting plate 210.
[0055] When the inclined second protrusion 132 engages with the second groove 240, a self-locking effect is created. This means that when the strap is subjected to tension, such as when worn by a user or subjected to force by an object, the strap assembly 200 will be tightened along the direction of the tension. At this time, the inclined protrusion will embed more deeply into the groove, enhancing the connection's strength. Compared to a vertically positioned protrusion, the inclined structure better resists axial pull-out forces, preventing the strap assembly 200 from accidentally detaching. The inclined protrusion, in conjunction with the groove, can also disperse stress concentration points, preventing excessive localized stress that could lead to material fatigue or fracture.
[0056] Please continue reading. Figures 3 to 5 For example, two second protrusions 132 are arranged side by side on the first connecting portion 130, and a first magnet 133 is disposed between the two second protrusions 132. Two corresponding second grooves 240 are formed on the connecting plate 210, and a second magnet 211 is disposed between the two second grooves 240. When the second protrusion 132 is engaged within the second groove 240, the first magnet 133 is attracted to the second magnet 211. The mechanical engagement between the second protrusion 132 and the second groove 240 provides structural positioning and load-bearing, while the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 133 and the second magnet 211 provides additional axial locking force. This dual locking mechanism enhances connection stability and resistance to disengagement. When the strip is subjected to significant tension or vibration, the magnetic attraction effectively prevents accidental disengagement due to vibration or impact.
[0057] For the user, the magnetic attraction provides a noticeable "snap" during installation, indicating that the device is correctly installed. Even when the protrusion is not fully engaged with the edge of the groove, the magnetic force can correct the relative position of the belt assembly 200 and the base 110, ensuring a good fit between the protrusion and the groove.
[0058] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the first connecting part 130 is disposed on the side of the base 110 away from the adjusting member 120, and a plug-in groove 250 is provided on the first connecting part 130. The belt assembly 200 includes a plug connector. When the plug connector is inserted into the plug-in groove 250, the plug connector and the plug-in groove 250 can be relatively fixed. The connection and disassembly of the plug connector and the plug-in groove 250 are simple and convenient. The plug-in structure can better resist lateral shear force and axial tensile force. Compared with simple snap-fit or magnetic connection, it can better prevent the belt assembly 200 from falling off due to external force. The "embedded" connection formed after the plug connector is inserted into the plug-in groove 250 makes the force distribution of the connection part more uniform and the structural strength higher.
[0059] Especially when used in packaging in this embodiment, the matching of the connector and the connector slot 250 is not only simple and easy to operate, but also makes the overall appearance of this embodiment more suitable for the packaging, making the packaging look more harmonious and improving the aesthetics of this embodiment.
[0060] Please continue reading. Figures 6 to 9 For example, a limiting groove 251 is provided in the insertion slot 250 at a position away from the opening. The insertion connector includes an elastic rod 212, and a locking block 213 is provided at the end of the elastic rod 212. When the insertion connector is inserted into the insertion slot 250, the locking block 213 is locked into the limiting groove 251. In use, pressing the elastic rod 212 causes the elastic rod 212 to deform, thereby allowing the locking block 213 to extend into the insertion slot 250 and extend along the insertion slot 250 until the locking block 213 extends into the limiting groove 251. After the locking block 213 extends into the limiting groove 251, the locking block 213 is no longer restricted by the insertion slot 250, the elastic rod 212 deforms and returns to its original shape, thereby allowing the locking block 213 to fall into the limiting groove 251. The limiting groove 251 limits the locking block 213, that is, the insertion slot 250 limits the insertion connector.
[0061] When it is necessary to remove the connector, press the elastic rod 212 to deform it, thereby causing the locking block 213 to disengage from the limiting groove 251, allowing the connector to be removed normally from the connector groove 250. In this embodiment, this physical constraint makes the connection more stable and reliable.
[0062] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, a webbing section 121 is also provided between the base 110 and the adjusting member 120. Any end of the strip can be fixed to the webbing section 121 by means of sewing, gluing, pressing, etc., so as to improve the flexibility of use in this embodiment.
[0063] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the first connecting portion 130 is disposed on the side of the base 110 away from the adjusting member 120. The first connecting portion 130 includes a third groove 134, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the adjustment direction of the adjusting assembly 100, and the depth of the third groove 134 gradually increases along the extension direction. The belt assembly 200 includes a connecting plate 210, on which a third protrusion 260 is provided. The third protrusion 260 is correspondingly disposed with the third groove 134 so that the third protrusion 260 can be inserted into the third groove 134. As the third protrusion 260 slides in along the extension direction of the groove, the contact pressure between the protrusion and the groove increases as the groove depth gradually increases, forming a self-locking effect. This structure can provide strong pull-out resistance and anti-loosening capability without additional locking devices.
[0064] The force on the adjusting component 100 is usually a force along the adjusting direction. In this embodiment, the third groove 134 is set perpendicular to the adjusting direction, that is, the third groove 134 is set laterally. This not only makes the space in this embodiment more reasonable, but also ensures that the third groove 134 and the third protrusion 260 will not disengage due to the force in the adjusting direction during the fit, further ensuring reliable assembly.
[0065] The protrusions, extending deep into the grooves, create a large contact area and friction, effectively withstanding forces from multiple directions. This makes this embodiment particularly suitable for applications requiring high stability and strong load-bearing capacity, such as sports protective gear, mountaineering equipment, and safety harnesses.
[0066] The gradually deepening groove design allows users to naturally feel the "sliding in" and "finishing" sensation during the insertion process, which helps with quick alignment and installation. It also reduces connection instability caused by assembly errors, improving the user experience.
[0067] Please continue reading. Figures 10 to 12 For example, two third grooves 134 are arranged side by side on the first connecting portion 130. A magnet groove 135 is provided between the two third grooves 134, and a third magnet is provided in the magnet groove 135. The extending direction of the magnet groove 135 is the same as the extending direction of the third groove 134. Two third protrusions 260 are correspondingly provided on the connecting plate 210. A magnet frame 270 is provided between the two third protrusions 260, and a fourth magnet is provided in the magnet frame 270. When the third protrusion 260 is engaged in the third groove 134, the magnet frame 270 is engaged in the magnet groove 135, and the third magnet is attracted to the fourth magnet. The dual locking mechanism enhances the fixing effect. The protrusions and grooves provide rigid support and positioning, while the magnetic attraction provides additional axial locking force. Even under the action of external forces such as vibration, impact, or pulling, it can effectively prevent accidental detachment.
[0068] The structure of parallel double grooves and double protrusions can effectively resist lateral shear force, and the middle magnet groove 135 and magnet frame 270 further enhance the ability to resist torsion and lateral displacement.
[0069] The automatic alignment effect is significant. When approaching the connection position, the magnet guides the magnet holder 270 to automatically align with the magnet slot 135, enhancing the user's sense of "position" and improving assembly efficiency. Insertion and removal operations can be completed with one hand, without the need for special force or angle adjustments. The operation is intuitive and effortless, making it suitable for applications like clothing, bags, shoes, and helmets that require frequent disassembly and assembly, as described in this embodiment.
[0070] Please continue reading. Figures 10 to 12A blocking element 136 is provided on the magnet slot 135, which can block part of the third groove 134 in the vertical direction; an inclined groove is formed on the connecting plate 210 near the magnet frame 270. When the third protrusion 260 is inserted into the third groove 134, the blocking element 136 is inserted into the inclined groove. After the blocking element 136 is inserted into the inclined groove, it forms a physical blocking structure, which restricts the third protrusion 260 from sliding axially out of the third groove 134. Even under extreme vibration or tension, it can effectively prevent the belt assembly 200 from falling off due to magnetic failure or loosening of the insertion, which significantly improves the safety and reliability of the connection.
[0071] After the blocking member 136 is inserted into the inclined slot, it not only restricts axial movement, but also increases the constraints in the lateral and rotational directions. The inclined slot angle design can optimize the force distribution, so that the connection structure can better resist lateral forces and torques, enhance the structural strength of this embodiment, and is suitable for dynamic load environments.
