ISOFIX connector integrated frame

Abstract

This integrated ISOFIX connector frame includes an upper connecting edge and a lower connecting edge. The upper connecting edge has protruding tabs at both ends, and the lower connecting edge has grooves at both ends corresponding to the protruding tabs. The protruding tabs are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, while the grooves are wider on the inside and narrower on the outside. The protruding tabs and grooves mate properly. This integrated ISOFIX connector frame, by having protruding tabs on the upper connecting edge and grooves on the lower connecting edge, and the protruding tabs being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the grooves being wider on the inside and narrower on the outside, ensures that during die stamping, the protruding tabs and grooves engage, preventing vertical external forces from disengaging the protruding tabs from the grooves. This results in a one-piece molded connector frame with high strength and significant labor cost savings.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated outer frame for an ISOFIX connector. Background Technology

[0002] An ISOFIX connector is a device for securing child safety seats to a vehicle. ISOFIX is a new standard for installing child seats in cars, making installation quick and easy. Child seats equipped with ISOFIX can be easily secured to the car's ISOFIX connectors, increasing safety.

[0003] ISOFIX connectors typically consist of a connector housing, a connection mechanism, and a button assembly. The connector housing is responsible for securing it to the child seat, while the connection mechanism connects to the rigid connection part on the car seat. The housing of an ISOFIX connector is usually a square hollow tube. Currently, most ISOFIX connector housings on the market are formed by welding. For example, the top cover and bottom cover of an ISOFIX connector housing are fixed together by welding. However, welding is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also unsightly. The top cover and bottom cover of an ISOFIX connector housing are also fixed together by snap-fit, but this fixing method does not provide high strength. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an integrated outer frame for an ISOFIX connector.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] The ISOFIX connector integrated frame includes a connector frame, which includes an upper connecting edge and a lower connecting edge. The upper connecting edge of the connector frame has protruding pieces at both ends, and the lower connecting edge of the connector frame has grooves at both ends that are opposite to the protruding pieces. The protruding pieces are enlarged at the top and narrowed at the bottom. The grooves are wider on the inside and narrower on the outside. The protruding pieces and the grooves are matched and engaged.

[0007] Preferably, a through sliding hole is provided on both the left and right sides of the connector outer frame. The sliding hole is used to connect the button assembly. A connecting mechanism is provided inside the connector outer frame. The button assembly passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the connecting mechanism. The button assembly is used to drive the connecting mechanism to slide within the connector outer frame.

[0008] Preferably, the protruding piece and the groove are disposed on both sides of the sliding hole.

[0009] Preferably, the connector frame is a hollow square tube.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the ISOFIX connector integrated outer frame of this utility model has a protruding piece on the upper connecting edge of the connector outer frame and a groove on the lower connecting edge opposite to the protruding piece. The top of the protruding piece is bulging and the bottom is narrowing. The groove is wide on the inside and narrow on the outside. When the mold is stamped, the protruding piece and the groove cooperate. The external force in the vertical direction cannot make the protruding piece disengage from the groove, so that the integrated connector outer frame has high strength and can save a lot of labor costs.

[0014] Figure 4 This utility model relates to an integrated outer frame for ISOFIX connectors. Figure 3 Enlarged view at point A. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the ISOFIX connector integrated outer frame includes a connector outer frame 1, which is a hollow square tube. The left and right sides of the tube wall of the connector outer frame 1 are provided with through sliding holes 11. The sliding holes 11 are used to connect the button assembly 3. The connector outer frame 1 is provided with a connecting mechanism 2. The button assembly 3 passes through the sliding holes 11 and is connected to the connecting mechanism. The button assembly 3 is used to drive the connecting mechanism 2 to slide within the connector outer frame 1.

[0017] The connector frame 1 includes an upper connecting edge 12 and a lower connecting edge 13. The two sides are rolled up and integrally formed by die stamping. Both ends of the upper connecting edge 12 of the connector frame 1 are provided with protruding pieces 121, and both ends of the lower connecting edge 13 of the connector frame 1 are provided with grooves 131 opposite to the protruding pieces 121. The top of the protruding piece 121 is bulging and the bottom is narrowing. The inner side of the groove 131 is wide and the outer side is narrow. During die stamping, the upper connecting edge 12 and the lower connecting edge 13 rotate towards each other to a plane, so that the protruding piece 121 and the groove 131 are aligned and engaged. Since the outer side of the groove 131 is narrow and the top of the protruding piece 121 is bulging, the external force in the vertical direction cannot disengage the protruding piece 121 from the groove 131, so that the integrally formed connector frame 1 has high strength. The protruding piece 121 and the groove 131 are provided on both sides of the sliding hole 11.

[0018] This utility model of an integrated ISOFIX connector frame features a protruding piece 121 on the upper connecting edge 12 of the connector frame 1 and a groove 131 on the lower connecting edge 13 opposite to the protruding piece 121. The protruding piece 121 is bulging at the top and narrowing at the bottom, while the groove 131 is wide on the inside and narrow on the outside. During die stamping, the protruding piece 121 engages with the groove 131, and external forces in the vertical direction cannot cause the protruding piece 121 to detach from the groove 131. This results in a one-piece connector frame 1 with high strength and significant savings in labor costs.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments only illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
