Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser rangefinders, and specifically to an installation structure for a laser rangefinder. Background Technology

[0002] As a portable personal measurement terminal, laser rangefinders play an important role in many fields. However, the structural design of laser rangefinders on the market is generally not aesthetically pleasing or robust enough, which greatly affects durability and user experience.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN217820826U discloses a waterproof laser rangefinder, which includes a laser ranging module for emitting a laser beam along the ranging direction to measure the distance relative to a target object without contact, buttons, a display screen for displaying data, a rechargeable battery for providing power, and a charging interface. The waterproof laser rangefinder has a strip-shaped mounting bracket and a metal strip-shaped housing that can accommodate the strip-shaped mounting bracket.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN209230590U discloses a miniature laser rangefinder, which includes an integrated shell, an integrated inner liner, a cover, and buttons. The integrated shell and the integrated inner liner are assembled by a piston, and the integrated inner liner and the cover are fixed by a snap-fit, so that the overall structure is locked after the cover is inserted into the integrated inner liner. The inner side of the integrated inner liner has multiple interlocking slots to automatically lock and position the PCB board after it is inserted. The buttons are assembled from the outside of the integrated shell and fixed to the integrated shell by a snap-fit.

[0005] However, the installation design in the above patent documents uses an integrated aluminum alloy shell as the overall structural frame and an inner liner for placing components. A piston-type installation method is used to place the inner liner inside the shell, which is then sealed with a cap. This design is structurally complex, and as a fully enclosed outer packaging shell, the alignment of various components and their placement are not visualized during installation, making the assembly and disassembly process inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a laser rangefinder, which partially solves or alleviates the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, making the installation structure of the laser rangefinder simpler, lighter, and with higher space utilization.

[0007] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution: A mounting structure for a laser rangefinder includes: a first housing, a second housing connected to the first housing, and a mounting component installed between the first housing and the second housing.

[0008] The edge of the first housing extends along the direction of the mounting member and has at least one first mounting portion, and the first mounting portion is provided with at least one male buckle.

[0009] The edge of the second housing extends along the direction of the mounting member and has at least one second mounting portion, the second mounting portion having at least one female buckle that mates with the male buckle.

[0010] When the first housing, the mounting member, and the second housing are sequentially covered from top to bottom, the first mounting part is placed inside the second mounting part, and the protruding part of the male buckle is pushed into the recessed part of the female buckle.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting component is a hollow structure, and a crossbar is provided inside the hollow structure, which divides the hollow structure of the mounting component into a first region and a second region.

[0012] The second housing includes a button panel and a screen panel, the button panel and the screen panel are connected, the button panel covers the first area, and the screen panel covers the second area.

[0013] Furthermore, the first housing is rectangular, and the second housing is rectangular in shape to match the first housing.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the protruding portion of the male buckle is less than the length of the recessed portion of the female buckle; The height of the male buckle is greater than the height of the first mounting part.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting component is made of aluminum alloy.

[0016] Furthermore, the first mounting portion includes a first corner mounting portion and a first side mounting portion, wherein the first corner mounting portion is located at the corner of the first housing, and the first side mounting portion is located on the side of the first housing.

[0017] The second mounting portion includes: a second corner mounting portion and a second side mounting portion, wherein the second corner mounting portion is located at the corner of the second housing and the second side mounting portion is located on the side of the second housing.

[0018] The first corner mounting part and the second corner mounting part are installed together, and the first side mounting part and the second side mounting part are installed together.

[0019] Furthermore, the first corner mounting portion is provided with two closely spaced male buckles, and the second corner mounting portion is provided with two closely spaced female buckles.

[0020] Furthermore, the second housing is provided with a plurality of positioning posts, which are symmetrically distributed along the edge of the second housing.

[0021] Furthermore, the frame portion of the mounting component is provided with magnets.

[0022] Furthermore, the interior of the first housing is provided with a first reinforcing rib, a second reinforcing rib, a plurality of third reinforcing ribs, and a plurality of fourth reinforcing ribs.

[0023] The first reinforcing rib, the second reinforcing rib, and a plurality of the third reinforcing ribs are arranged laterally along the first housing, and a plurality of the fourth reinforcing ribs are arranged longitudinally along the first housing, intersecting with the first reinforcing rib and the third reinforcing rib and enclosing to form a space for accommodating components. The first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib form a space for accommodating the battery.

[0024] Beneficial effects: This utility model uses a longitudinally extending outer shell as the frame of the mounting structure. A first reinforcing rib is set along the middle of the first shell, which divides the first shell into two different functional areas. A second reinforcing rib is set in the rear area, forming a space for installing the battery with the first reinforcing rib. Multiple third reinforcing ribs arranged laterally and a fourth reinforcing rib arranged longitudinally are set in the front area. The fourth reinforcing ribs on both sides of the front area are recessed to avoid the third reinforcing ribs. The third and fourth reinforcing ribs in the middle area enclose a space to accommodate various components. Based on the rational arrangement of the reinforcing ribs in the first shell, the assembly and storage of the components of the mounting parts are satisfied within a limited space, while the complexity of the structure is simplified. The mounting parts of the first shell and the second shell are arranged intermittently (forming gaps), and the mounting parts on both sides of the same shell are staggered. This structural design avoids the function buttons without affecting the installation strength, and also makes the shell structure lighter.

[0025] The outer shell structure of the laser rangefinder in this invention is based on a sandwich structure arrangement. The middle part is the mounting component for installing various components of the laser rangefinder, and the top and bottom are two outer shells that enclose the mounting component. The two outer shells are connected by a snap-fit ​​method to realize the structural installation of the laser rangefinder shell. With this sandwich structure design, the mounting component in the middle of the shell does not need to be fixed with any screws, and the shell installation method is simple. At the same time, it avoids the problem of too many parts and an unsightly overall appearance.

[0026] In the snap-fit ​​connection part of this utility model, the corners of the first shell and the second shell adopt a double snap-fit ​​design, that is, two close snap-fit ​​structures. The double snap-fit ​​structure design enhances the snap-fit ​​rigidity and prevents it from falling off and coming loose.

[0027] The mounting component of this utility model is made of aluminum alloy, which has high hardness. After the two shells are connected by a snap fastener, the mounting component located between the two shells can act as a reverse stop to strengthen the snap fastener structure.

[0038] Example 1: like Figures 1-7As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting structure for a laser rangefinder is provided, including: a first housing 1, a second housing 2 connected to the first housing, and a mounting component 3 installed between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0039] The edge of the first housing 1 extends along the direction of the mounting member 3 and has at least one first mounting portion 101, and the first mounting portion 101 is provided with at least one male buckle 102.

[0040] The edge of the second housing 2 extends along the direction of the mounting member 3 and has at least one second mounting portion 201. The second mounting portion 201 is provided with at least one female buckle 202 that cooperates with the male buckle 102.

[0041] The installation method of this utility model: When the first housing 1, the mounting member 3 and the second housing 2 are sequentially covered from top to bottom, the first mounting part 101 is placed inside the second mounting part 201, and the protruding part of the male buckle 102 is pushed into the recessed part of the female buckle 202.

[0042] This utility model adopts a three-shell snap-fit ​​assembly form. Compared with a fully enclosed assembly shell, the installation process of the components in the entire structure is visualized. The purpose of visualization is to ensure that the position of the components of the mounting parts matches the position of the upper and lower shells during the installation process.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting member 3 is a hollow structure, and a crossbar 303 is provided inside the hollow structure, which divides the hollow structure of the mounting member 3 into a first region 301 and a second region 302. Keyholes 304 are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting member, and the function buttons inside extend from the keyholes 304. (See also...) Figure 4 .

[0044] The crossbar 303 divides the mounting parts 3, which house various components of this instrument, into two different areas. In order to better accommodate the mounting parts, the internal structures of the first and second housings are different within the different areas.

[0045] In some embodiments, the mounting component 3 is made of a high-hardness material (in this embodiment, aluminum alloy is used, or plastic may also be used).

[0046] In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 101 includes a first corner mounting portion 1011 and a first side mounting portion 1012, wherein the first corner mounting portion 1011 is located at the corner of the first housing 1 and the first side mounting portion 1012 is located on the side of the first housing 1.

[0047] The second mounting portion 201 includes a second corner mounting portion 2011 and a second side mounting portion 2012. The second corner mounting portion 2011 is located at the corner of the second housing 2, and the second side mounting portion 2012 is located on the side of the second housing 2.

[0048] The first corner mounting part 1011 is installed in conjunction with the second corner mounting part 2011, and the first side mounting part 1012 is installed in conjunction with the second side mounting part 2012.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first corner mounting portion 1011 is provided with two closely spaced male buckles 102, and the second corner mounting portion 2011 is provided with two closely spaced female buckles 202.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first housing 1 is rectangular, and the second housing 2 is rectangular in shape matching the first housing 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 includes a button panel 21 and a screen panel 22, the button panel 21 and the screen panel 22 being connected, the button panel 21 covering the first region 301, and the screen panel 22 covering the second region 302.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 is further provided with a plurality of positioning posts 203. The six positioning posts 203 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right edges of the second housing. This design facilitates the assembly of the circuit board on the mounting component.

[0053] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is provided on the back of the circular buttons on the keypad 21, and on the upper right side of the second housing 2 (in this utility model) Figure 1 The part near the circular button (the front part is along the x direction and the right part is along the y direction) has multiple sealing ribs 204. The sealing ribs 204 can compress the sealing ring of the button, making the sealing ring more tightly installed.

[0054] Approximate parallelism in this utility model refers to Figure 1 The arrangement direction (or axis) of the multiple reinforcing ribs along the x-direction is approximately parallel, that is, the included angle between them is close to 0°.

[0055] During the manufacturing process, there may be process errors, so the included angle can also be within the range of 0°-5°.

[0056] Approximately perpendicular in this utility model refers to along Figure 1 The reinforcing ribs along the x-direction and the reinforcing ribs along the y-direction intersect each other, and the intersection angle can be between 80° and 90°.

[0057] In some embodiments, the interior of the first housing 1 is divided into a front region and a rear region by a first reinforcing rib 1013. A second reinforcing rib 1014 is provided in the rear region. The first reinforcing rib 1013 and the second reinforcing rib 1014 are approximately parallel. The space formed by the first reinforcing rib 1013 and the second reinforcing rib 1013 contains the battery. A plurality of third reinforcing ribs 1015 that are approximately parallel to the second reinforcing rib 1014 and a plurality of fourth reinforcing ribs 1016 that are approximately perpendicular to the first reinforcing rib 1013 are provided in the front region.

[0058] Specifically, the first reinforcing rib 1013, the second reinforcing rib 1014, and the plurality of third reinforcing ribs 1015 are arranged transversely along the first shell (in this utility model, transverse refers to...). Figure 1 Along the y-direction), multiple fourth reinforcing ribs 1016 are arranged longitudinally along the first shell (in this utility model, longitudinal refers to...). Figure 1 (along the x-direction).

[0059] In some embodiments, the fourth reinforcing rib 1016 near the side of the first housing 1 in the front region forms a space for accommodating the circuit board together with the first reinforcing rib 1013 and the third reinforcing rib 1015 near the front of the first housing. Preferably, in the front region, the third reinforcing rib 1015 near the front of the first housing and the two approximately parallel fourth reinforcing ribs 1016 form a space for accommodating components.

[0060] Preferably, the first side mounting portion 1012, which is partitioned on the right side in the front region of the first housing, forms a clearance space. The fourth reinforcing rib 1016 recedes backward along the edge and encloses the space formed by the two third reinforcing ribs 1015. This clearance space and the space enclosed by the three reinforcing ribs form a clearance portion 103. This clearance portion 103, together with the fastened mounting member, forms a space for accommodating components (the two magnets of this invention).

[0061] The clearance space can be a design that breaks off from at least one first side mounting portion within a first housing or a second side mounting portion within a second housing, and the space formed by the broken area can be the clearance space. Alternatively, the clearance space is a notch located between two adjacent mounting portions. This clearance space avoids the side buttons in the mounting component.

[0062] The clearance portion 103 can be a space for clearance components, which is a region enclosed by at least one fourth reinforcing rib 1016 in the first housing and a third reinforcing rib 1015 connected to both ends of the fourth reinforcing rib 1016. The space formed by this region together with the clearance space of the first side mounting portion 1012 partition portion can be the clearance portion 103.

[0063] By arranging multiple reinforcing ribs inside the first housing, the assembly and storage of various components on the mounting parts can be satisfied within the limited installation space, while also simplifying the overall internal structure.

[0064] Specifically, the second corner mounting portion 2011 on the right side of the second housing 2 is spaced apart from the second side mounting portion 2012, or the adjacent second side mounting portions 2012 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner, and the spaced-apart portion forms a clearance space; the second side mounting portion 2012 on the left side has a clearance space near the front of the second housing.

[0065] The purpose of the clearance space formed by the first side mounting portion 1012 of the first housing and the second side mounting portion 2012 of the second housing is to simplify the complexity of the internal structure of the housing by rationally arranging the addition and subtraction of the internal structure at different positions, and to avoid the function buttons (side buttons or internal components) on the mounting part 3 without affecting the installation strength.

[0066] In some embodiments, the height of the male buckle 102 is less than the height of the first mounting portion 101, and the male buckle 102 is positioned rearward relative to the first mounting portion 101 in the first housing. This facilitates the fastening and installation of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, the frame portion of the mounting member 3 is provided with two magnets 305 on the same side. The magnets 305 are installed in the space formed by the two clearance portions 103 inside the first housing and the fastened mounting member, ensuring that the installation of the magnets 305 is not interfered with by the internal structure or other components. By setting the magnets 305, the laser rangefinder of this utility model can be adsorbed and fixed on the surface of the iron object.

[0068] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0069] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
