Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to accessories for child carriers, and more particularly to magnetic buckle assemblies. [Background technology]
[0002] With the development of economy and evolution of technology, more and more consumer goods are available in the market to bring convenience to people's lives. Child carrier is one of the consumer goods.
[0003] It is well known that a harness system having at least one strap is essential to a child carrier for securing a child. The harness system typically includes a strap and a buckle assembly. The buckle assembly allows a user to easily attach and detach the straps from one another. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Currently, conventional buckle assemblies typically include a male buckle, a female buckle, a latch, and an operating component. The female buckle is for mating with the male buckle. The latch is for limiting separation of the male and female buckles when the male buckle is mated with the female buckle. The operating component is for actuating the latch to allow separation of the male and female buckles. However, the male buckle cannot be quickly mated with or separated from the female buckle.
[0005] To accelerate the process of pairing a male buckle and a female buckle, there is a magnetic buckle assembly having two magnetic components that are magnetically attracted to each other. The two magnetic components are attached to the male buckle and the female buckle, respectively, so that the magnetic attraction generated by the two magnetic components can accelerate the process of pairing the male buckle and the female buckle. However, the magnetic attraction interferes with the process of separating the male buckle and the female buckle.
[0006] Another magnetic buckle assembly has two magnetic components that magnetically repel each other to accelerate the process of separating the male and female buckles. The two magnetic components are attached to the male and female buckles, respectively, so that the magnetic repulsion generated by the two magnetic components can accelerate the process of separating the male and female buckles. However, the magnetic repulsion interferes with the process of pairing the male and female buckles.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved magnetic buckle assembly that can facilitate the process of pairing the magnetic buckle assembly and the process of separating the magnetic buckle assembly.
[0008] The present disclosure provides a magnetic buckle assembly that can change the direction of the magnetic force of the magnetic components to facilitate the process of pairing the magnetic buckle assembly and the process of uncoupling the magnetic buckle assembly. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] The present disclosure discloses a magnetic buckle assembly. The magnetic buckle assembly includes at least one first buckle component, a second buckle component, a switch, an operating component, at least one first magnetic component, a second magnetic component, and at least one latch. The second buckle component is configured to mate with the at least one first buckle component. The switch is movably disposed on the second buckle component. The operating component is coupled to the switch. The at least one first magnetic component is disposed on the first buckle component. The second magnetic component is disposed on the switch and is configured to magnetically attract or repel the at least one first magnetic component. The at least one latch is movably disposed on the second buckle component and is configured to engage with the at least one first buckle component to prevent separation of the at least one first magnetic component and the second buckle component. The at least one latch moves with movement of the operating component or the switch. The operating component activates a switch to change the direction of the magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the at least one first magnetic component upon operating the operating component to disengage the at least one latch from the at least one first buckle component.
[0010] In summary, a magnetic buckle assembly according to the present disclosure utilizes cooperation of an operating component, a switch, a latch, a first magnetic component, and a second magnetic component to change the direction of the magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the first magnetic component by moving the switch when the operating component is operated to disengage at least one latch from the first buckle component. Thus, the first and second magnetic components can be configured to magnetically attract each other when the first buckle component is paired with the second buckle component. The first and second magnetic components can magnetically repel each other when the operating component is operated to disengage at least one latch from the first buckle component, allowing the first and second buckle components to separate, thereby facilitating the pairing and separating of the magnetic buckle components. As can be appreciated, the first and second magnetic components may similarly be configured to magnetically repel each other when the first buckle component is paired with the second buckle component, and the first and second magnetic components may magnetically attract each other when the operating component is operated to disengage the at least one latch from the first buckle component, thereby preventing the first and second buckle components from unintentionally separating.

[0013] In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which are shown to illustrate specific embodiments in which the present disclosure may be practiced. In this regard, terms such as "top," "bottom," "front," "back," etc. are used with reference to the orientation of the drawings being described. Components of the present disclosure may be positioned in a number of different orientations. As such, directional terms are used for purposes of illustration and not limitation. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as limiting.
[0014] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with the cover of the second buckle component 3 removed. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the internal structure of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a partial view illustrating the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view illustrating portion F of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a shown in FIG. 4 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a partial view from another perspective illustrating the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating two first and second magnetic components 7 and 8 in different states according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 1 to 9, the magnetic buckle assembly 100a includes two first buckle components 10, a second buckle component 3, two latches 6, a switch 5, an operating component 4, two first magnetic components 7, and a second magnetic component 8.
[0015] The second buckle component 3 is adapted to be paired with two first buckle components 10. The switch 5 is rotatably disposed on the second buckle component 3 about a rotation axis L and is coupled to the operating component 4. The second magnetic component 8 is disposed on the switch 5. Each of the first magnetic components 7 is disposed on a corresponding first buckle component 10 to magnetically attract or repel the second magnetic component 8. Each of the latches 6 is movably disposed on the second buckle component 3 and coupled to the operating component 4 to engage with the first buckle component 10, preventing separation of the corresponding first buckle component 10 and the second buckle component 3 when the corresponding first buckle component 10 is paired with the second buckle component 3. The operating component 4 is movably disposed on the second buckle component 3 to drive the switch 5 and the two latches 6 to move simultaneously. In detail, the operating component 4 drives and moves the two latches 6, and by operating the operating component 4, the switch 5 is driven and rotated around the rotation axis L to reverse the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8, thereby enabling the two first buckle component 10 and the second buckle component 3 to be separated.
[0016] Specifically, two first buckle components 10 are arranged symmetrically along a rotation axis L, and each first buckle component 10 may have a shoulder strap buckle 1 and a waist strap buckle 2. Each shoulder strap buckle 1 is assembled with a corresponding waist strap buckle 2 to form a male buckle. The second buckle component 3 may be a crotch strap buckle, which is a female buckle for mating with the male buckle formed by the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 and the corresponding waist strap buckle 2 along the lateral (side) direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a. The switch 5 is rotatably disposed on the second buckle component 3, i.e., the crotch strap buckle, about the rotation axis L. Each latch 6 and the operating component 4 are movably disposed on the second buckle component 3, i.e., the crotch strap buckle, and may be connected to each other. Two first magnetic components 7 are embedded in the two waist strap buckles 2, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically along the rotation axis L. The second magnetic component 8 can magnetically attract or repel each of the first magnetic components 7, facilitating the pairing or unpairing of the corresponding male buckles formed by the corresponding shoulder strap buckles 1 and the corresponding waist strap buckles 2 with the female buckle, which is the crotch strap buckle, i.e., the pairing or unpairing of the corresponding first buckle component 10 and the second buckle component 3.
[0017] However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in another embodiment, each shoulder strap buckle can be integrated with a corresponding waist strap buckle to form a single-piece male buckle, and the two first magnetic components can be separately embedded within the two single-piece male buckles.
[0018] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the crotch strap buckle may be a male buckle, and the two shoulder strap buckles and two waist strap buckles may be integrally formed with one another to form a one-piece female buckle for mating with the crotch strap buckle, i.e., there may be only one first buckle component that is a one-piece female buckle. Further, the switch may be rotatably disposed on the one-piece female buckle, and the operating component and latch may be movably disposed on the one-piece female buckle. Moreover, there may be only one first magnetic component embedded in the crotch strap buckle and one second magnetic component embedded in the switch that magnetically attracts or repels the first magnetic component.
[0019] In some embodiments, the two magnetic components, the first magnetic component 7 and the second magnetic component 8, may be permanent magnets. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in another embodiment, the first magnetic component or the second magnetic component may be an electromagnet.
[0020] In some embodiments, switch 5 may be a rotary or other similar switch component as would occur to one skilled in the art. In some embodiments, latch 6 may be a lock or other similar latch component as would occur to one skilled in the art.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6, the magnetic buckle assembly 100a may further include two third magnetic components 9. Each third magnetic component 9 is embedded in a corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 and magnetically attracts a corresponding first magnetic component 7 embedded in a corresponding waist strap buckle 2 to tighten the connection between the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 and the corresponding waist strap buckle 2. This third magnetic component makes the connection between the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 and the corresponding waist strap buckle 2 more secure. In some embodiments, the two third magnetic components 9 may be permanent magnets. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in another embodiment, the third magnetic component may be a magnetic conductor, which may be iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, or an alloy thereof, or other magnetically conductive material. Furthermore, in another embodiment, there may be only one third magnetic component.
[0022] Furthermore, in some embodiments, each first magnetic component 7 may be aligned with a corresponding third magnetic component 9 along the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a when the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 is assembled with the corresponding waist strap buckle 2, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1 and the corresponding waist strap buckle 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in another embodiment, each first magnetic component may be aligned with a corresponding third magnetic component along the front-to-back direction of the magnetic buckle assembly.
[0023] As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, each shoulder strap buckle 1 is stacked above its corresponding waist strap buckle 2 along the front-to-rear direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a. By stacking each shoulder strap buckle 1 above its corresponding waist strap buckle 2, each shoulder strap buckle 1 can be aligned with the waist strap buckle 2 along the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a, thereby allowing the two first buckle components 10 to be more easily paired with the second buckle components 3 without interference. Specifically, an engagement portion 21 is formed on each waist strap buckle 2. An engagement arm 102 protrudes from each shoulder strap buckle 1 to engage with the engagement portion 21, and the contour of each engagement arm 102 matches the contour of the corresponding engagement portion 21. Each shoulder strap buckle 1 can be aligned with the corresponding waist strap buckle 2 along the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a by embedding the corresponding engagement arm 102 within the corresponding engagement portion 21. In some embodiments, the engagement portion 21 may be a recessed structure formed on the rear surface of each waist strap buckle 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
[0024] 2 and 3, each first magnetic component 7 can be configured to magnetically attract a second magnetic component 8 during the process of aligning the corresponding first buckle component 10 and second buckle component 3. The operating component 4 activates the switch 5 to rotate the second magnetic component 8 to the opposite orientation, thereby reversing the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8 when the operating component 4 is operated and slid, thereby reversing the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8, thereby enabling the reversed second magnetic component 8 to magnetically repel the two first magnetic components 7.
[0025] Moreover, the operating components 4 drive the latches 6 to disengage from the corresponding first buckle components 10, allowing the corresponding first buckle components 10 and the second buckle components 3 to be separated when the operating components 4 are operated. Therefore, the magnetic repulsive force generated by the first magnetic components 7 and the second magnetic components 8, once allowing the respective first buckle components 10 and the second buckle components 3 to be separated, can facilitate the separation of the respective first buckle components 10 from the second buckle components 3, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly pairing and separating the respective first buckle components 10 and the second buckle components 3.
[0026] 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the first end 71 and the second end 72 of the left-hand first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles, the first end 73 and the second end 74 of the right-hand first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles, and the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles. When the operating component 4 is released, the two first and second magnetic components 7 and 8 are in position as shown in FIG. 7, such that the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 may magnetically attract the second end 72 of the left-hand first magnetic component 7 and the first end 73 of the right-hand first magnetic component 7, respectively. By operating and sliding the operating component, the second magnetic component 8 can be driven to rotate 180° around the rotation axis L to be positioned as shown in FIG. 8 , whereby the magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 8 is reversed, i.e., the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8 is reversed. At this time, the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 can magnetically repel the first end 73 of the right-hand first magnetic component 7 and the second end 72 of the left-hand first magnetic component 7, respectively. In detail, while the second magnetic component 8 is being rotated around the rotation axis L, the magnetic attractive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 decreases, and the magnetic repulsive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 increases. The resulting magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 changes from a magnetic attractive force to a magnetic repulsive force when the second magnetic component 8 or the switch 5 is rotated through 90° about the axis of rotation L.
[0027] However, the configuration of the first and second magnetic components is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In another embodiment, the first magnetic component can be configured to magnetically repel the second magnetic component during the pairing process of the first and second buckle components. The operating component can actuate a switch and rotate to reverse the orientation of the second magnetic component, thereby allowing the reversed first magnetic component to magnetically attract the first magnetic component when the operating component is operated and slid, thereby preventing unintentional separation of the first and second buckle components. The resulting magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the first magnetic component changes from magnetic repulsion to magnetic attraction when the second magnetic component or switch is rotated 90° about the rotation axis L.
[0028] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 , the operating component 4 is movably connected to the switch 5. Specifically, the operating component 4 is slidably disposed on the second buckle component 3. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide relative to the second buckle component 3, the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L. In some embodiments, the sliding direction of the operating component 4 may be parallel to the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a, and the rotation axis L may be perpendicular to the lateral and front-to-rear directions of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a. In some embodiments, the operating component 4 may be a push button slidably disposed on the lateral wall (side wall) of the second buckle component 3. The operating component 4 is barely visible to prevent unintentional contact by children, enhancing safety.
[0029] Specifically, the driving structure 10a is formed on the operating component 4. The driven structure 11a is formed on the switch 5 to cooperate with the driving structure 10a, and the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L through cooperation of the driving structure 10a and the driven structure 11a. In some embodiments, the driving structure 10a may be a gear rack structure arranged along the sliding direction of the operating component 4, and the driven structure 11a may be a gear wheel structure for rotatably engaging with the gear rack structure. The rotation axis L may be coaxial with the central axis of the gear wheel structure, and the gear wheel structure is located at an end portion of the switch 5. Therefore, when the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L through cooperation of the gear rack structure and the gear wheel structure, thereby reversing the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8 and changing the direction of the magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7.
[0030] 2, 3, and 6, a hollow structure 53 is formed in the switch 5, and the second magnetic component 8 is embedded in the hollow structure 53. Similarly, an embedded chamber 101 is formed in each of the first buckle components 10. Each of the first magnetic components 7 is embedded in the corresponding embedded chamber 101. Specifically, each embedded chamber 101 is formed in the corresponding waist strap buckle 2, and each embedded chamber 101 is aligned with the hollow structure 53 along the mating direction of the corresponding first buckle component 10 and second buckle component 3, so that the magnetic force can be approximately parallel to the mating or separating direction of the corresponding first buckle component 10 and second buckle component 3, to facilitate mating or separating the corresponding first buckle component 10 and second buckle component 3.
[0031] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6, the magnetic buckle assembly 100a further includes a first elastic component 13a for driving the movement component 4 to return. Specifically, the first elastic component 13a is disposed between the movement component 4 and the second buckle component 3. In some embodiments, the first elastic component 13a may be an elastic spring. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, a guide portion 42 is formed on the movement component 4 to elastically deform the first elastic component 13a, and the first elastic component 13a is surrounded by the guide portion 42, which stabilizes the deformation and restoration of the first elastic component 13a and promotes the restoration of the first elastic component 13a.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 , a locking structure 61 is formed on each latch 6, and a locking structure 103 is formed on each first buckle component 10 for cooperating with the corresponding locking structure 61. Because each latch 6 is slidably disposed on the second buckle component 3, each locking structure 61 slidably engages and disengages with the corresponding locking structure 103. Specifically, the locking structure 103 is formed on each waist strap buckle 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, a locking structure may be formed on the shoulder strap buckle 1. Alternatively, there may be only one locking structure.
[0033] Specifically, the driven cooperating structure 151 is formed on each latch 6, and two driving cooperating structures 141 are formed on the operating component 4 to cooperate with the driven cooperating structures 151 of the two latches 6. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 drives each latch 6, causing the latches 6 to slide due to the swinging of the corresponding driving cooperating structure 141 and the corresponding driven cooperating structure 151, thereby disengaging the corresponding locking structure 61 from the corresponding locked structure 103. In some embodiments, each driving cooperating structure 141 may be a first inclined surface structure formed on the operating component 4 and inclined with respect to the sliding direction of the corresponding latch 6, and each driven cooperating structure 151 may be a second inclined surface structure. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 drives each latch 6, causing the latches 6 to slide due to the cooperation of the corresponding first inclined surface structure and the corresponding second inclined surface structure, thereby disengaging the corresponding locking structure 61 from the corresponding locked structure 103. However, the number of the driving cooperating structure and the driven cooperating structure is not limited to the above embodiment, and the number depends on the actual requirements. For example, in another embodiment, if there is only one latch with one driven cooperating structure, there may be only one driving cooperating structure formed on the operating component accordingly.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 , the magnetic buckle assembly 100a further includes two second elastic components 16 for driving and restoring the two latches 6. Specifically, each second elastic component 16 is disposed between the corresponding latch 6 and the second buckle component 3, and biases the locking structure 61 to engage with the locked structure 103. In some embodiments, the second elastic component 16 may be an elastic spring. However, the number and configuration of the second elastic components 16 are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, if there is only one latch, there may be only one second elastic component 16.
[0035] Furthermore, a guide structure 62 is formed on each latch 6 to elastically deform the corresponding second elastic component 16, and each second elastic component 16 surrounds the corresponding guide structure 62, thereby making the deformation and restoration of the second elastic component 16 more stable.

FIGS. 16 and 17 are diagrams illustrating the first buckle component 10 from different perspectives according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 18 is an exploded view of the first buckle component 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 19 and 20 are partial views of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 21 is another partial view of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 22 is a partial exploded view of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The differences between the magnetic buckle assembly 100a and the magnetic buckle assembly 100b are as follows:
[0037] First, as shown in Figures 10 and 11 to 14, in some embodiments, the rotation axis L is disposed along the front-to-rear direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b, while in some embodiments, the rotation axis L is disposed along a direction perpendicular to the lateral and front-to-rear directions of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a.
[0038] 12-14, in some embodiments, the first end 71 and the second end 72 of the left-side first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles, the first end 73 and the second end 74 of the right-side first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles, and the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles. When the operating component 4 is released, the two first and second magnetic components 7, 8 are positioned as shown in FIG. 12, whereby the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 may magnetically attract the second end 72 of the left-side first magnetic component 7 and the first end 73 of the right-side first magnetic component 7, respectively. By operating and sliding the operating component, the second magnetic component 8 is driven to rotate 180 degrees around the rotation axis L to the position shown in FIG. 14 , whereby the magnetic pole of the second magnetic component 8 is reversed, i.e., the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8 is reversed. At this time, the first end 81 and the second end 82 of the second magnetic component 8 can magnetically repel the first end 73 of the right-side first magnetic component 7 and the second end 72 of the left-side first magnetic component 7, respectively. In detail, while the second magnetic component 8 is rotating around the rotation axis L from the position shown in FIG. 12 to the position shown in FIG. 14 , the magnetic attractive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 decreases, and the magnetic repulsive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 increases. When the second magnetic component 8 or switch 5 is rotated through 90 degrees about the axis of rotation L, i.e., when the second magnetic component 8 is rotated through the position shown in FIG. 13, the resulting magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 is changed from a magnetic attractive force to a magnetic repulsive force.
[0039] However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment. Please refer to FIGS. 23 to 25. FIGS. 23 to 25 are diagrams illustrating two first and second magnetic components 7 and 8 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure in different states. As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, in some embodiments, the first end 71 and the second end 72 of the left-side first magnetic component 7 may have a south pole (S) and a north pole (N), respectively, and the first end 73 and the second end 74 of the right-side first magnetic component 7 may have a north pole (N) and a south pole (S), respectively. The second magnetic component 8 may have two opposing attracting portions 83 and two opposing repelling portions 84. The line between the two attracting portions 83 may be perpendicular to the line between the two repelling portions 84. The two attracting portions 83 and the two repelling portions 84 may have two south poles (S) and two north poles (N). When the operating components 4 are released, the two first and second magnetic components 7 and 8 are positioned as shown in FIG. 23 , so that the attracting portion 83 of the second magnetic component 8, positioned in the 3 o'clock-9 o'clock direction, can magnetically attract the second end 72 of the left first magnetic component 7 and the first end 73 of the right first magnetic component 7, respectively. When the operating components 4 are operated and slid, the second magnetic component 8 can be driven to rotate 90 degrees around the rotation axis L to the position shown in FIG. 25 , thereby changing the direction of the magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7. At this time, the repelling portion 84 of the second magnetic component 8 can magnetically repel the first end 73 of the right first magnetic component 7 and the second end 72 of the left first magnetic component 7, respectively. In particular, while the second magnetic component 8 is rotating about the axis of rotation L from the position shown in FIG. 23 to the position shown in FIG. 25, the magnetic attractive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 decreases and the magnetic repulsive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 increases. The direction of the resulting magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 is changed when the second magnetic component 8 or switch 5 is rotated through 45 degrees, i.e., when the second magnetic component 8 is rotated through the position shown in FIG. 24.
[0040] Further, reference is made to FIGS. 26 to 28, which illustrate two first and second magnetic components 7 in different states according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 26 to 28, in some embodiments, the first end 71 and the second end 72 of the left-side first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles, and the first end 73 and the second end 74 of the right-side first magnetic component 7 may be respectively south (S) and north (N) poles. The second magnetic component 8 may have two opposing attracting portions 83 and two opposing repelling portions 84. A line between the two attracting portions 83 may be perpendicular to a line between the two repelling portions 84. The two attracting portions 83 may be made of a magnetically conductive material, and the two repelling portions 84 may be respectively north (N) and south (S) poles. When the operating components 4 are released, the two first and second magnetic components 7 and 8 are positioned as shown in FIG. 26 , so that the attracting portion 83 of the second magnetic component 8 positioned in the 3 o'clock-9 o'clock direction can magnetically attract the second end 72 of the left first magnetic component 7 and the first end 73 of the right first magnetic component 7, respectively. When the operating components are operated and slid, the second magnetic component 8 can be driven to rotate 90 degrees around the rotation axis L to the position shown in FIG. 28 , so that the magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 is changed. At this time, the repelling portion 84 of the second magnetic component 8 can magnetically repel the first end 73 of the right first magnetic component 7 and the second end 72 of the left first magnetic component 7, respectively. In particular, as the second magnetic component 8 rotates about the axis of rotation L from the position shown in FIG. 26 to the position shown in FIG. 28, the magnetic attractive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 decreases and the magnetic repulsive force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 increases. The direction of the resulting magnetic force of the second magnetic component 8 acting on the two first magnetic components 7 is changed by rotating the second magnetic component 8 or switch 5 through 45 degrees, i.e., by rotating the second magnetic component 8 through the position shown in FIG. 27.
[0041] 9 to 11 and 15, in some embodiments, the operating component 4 is rotatably disposed on the front wall (front wall) of the second buckle component 3 and may be a rotation knob. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 is slidably disposed on the lateral wall (side wall) of the second buckle component 3 and may be a push button.
[0042] Third, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 and 21 , in some embodiments, the operating component 4 and the switch 5 are fixedly connected to each other, such that the operating component 4 can drive the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L when the operating component 4 is operated and rotated. Specifically, in some embodiments, a connection chamber 41 is formed in the operating component 4 and has a connection opening facing the switch 5, and the second magnetic component 8 is partially located inside the connection chamber 41. An end portion of the switch 5 covers the connection opening. Furthermore, the magnetic buckle assembly 100b further includes a connection component 12 connected to the operating component 4 and the switch 5 along the rotation axis L. In some embodiments, the connection component 12 may be a screw member. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the connection component may be a rivet or a pin. An accommodating chamber 52 is formed in the end portion of the switch 5. The accommodating chamber 52 has an accommodating opening facing the connecting chamber 41 and communicating with the connecting chamber 41, and the connecting chamber 41 and the accommodating chamber 52 cooperate to accommodate the second magnetic component 8. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 is operated to slide and drives the switch 5 to rotate, and the second magnetic component 8 is embedded in a hollow structure 53 formed in the switch 5.
[0043] Fourth, as shown in Figures 10, 11 and 20 to 22, in some embodiments, the first elastic component 13b is disposed between the switch 5 and the second buckle component 3 and biases the operating component 4 to return. The first elastic component 13b may be a torsion spring surrounding the switch 5 and may be located between the switch 5 and the latch 6. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100b according to the above-described embodiment, the first elastic component 13a may be an elastic spring disposed between the operating component 4 and the second buckle component 3.
[0044] Fifth, as shown in Figures 10, 11 and 16 to 19, in some embodiments, each locking structure 103 is formed on the corresponding shoulder strap buckle 1. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the embodiment described above, each locking structure 103 is formed on the corresponding waist strap buckle 2.
[0045] Sixth, as shown in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 21 and 22 , in some embodiments, the latch 6 is coupled to the switch 5, whereby the operating component 4 drives the latch 6, and operates the operating component 4 to drive and rotate the switch 5 to reverse the orientation of the second magnetic component 8, thereby reversing the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8 and indirectly allowing the switch 5 to separate each of the first buckle components 10 and the second buckle component 3. Specifically, the driven cooperating structure 152 is formed on the latch 6, and the driving cooperating structure 142 is formed on the switch 5. More specifically, the driving cooperating structure 142 is located on an end portion of the switch 5 facing the latch 6. The latch 6 is slidably disposed on the second buckle component 3. The switch 5 rotates and drives the latch 6, and the driving cooperating structure 142 and the driven cooperating structure 152 slide together to disengage the locking structure 61 formed on the latch 6 from the locked structure 103 formed on the waist strap buckle 2. The driving cooperating structure 142 may be a first helical surface structure, and the central axis of the first helical surface structure may be coaxial with the rotation axis L. The driven cooperating structure 152 may be a second helical surface structure. When the switch 5 is rotated, the switch 5 drives the latch, and the first helical surface structure and the second helical surface structure slide together to disengage the locking structure 61 formed on the latch 6 from the locked structure 103 formed on the waist strap buckle 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the driven cooperating structure may be a first helical surface structure, and the driving cooperating structure may be a protrusion slidable along the first helical surface structure. Alternatively, in another example, the driving cooperating structure may be a first helical surface structure, and the driven cooperating structure may be a protrusion slidable along the first helical surface structure, so that when the switch is rotated, the latch can be driven to slide by cooperation of the first helical surface structure and the protrusion. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-mentioned embodiment, the latch 6 is connected to the operating component 4.The operating component drives the latch 6 and drives the locking structure 61 to disengage from the locked structure 103 through cooperation between the driving cooperating structure 141, i.e., the first ramp structure, formed on the operating component 4 and the driven cooperating structure 151, i.e., the second ramp structure, formed on the latch 6.
[0046] 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the first magnetic component 7 is aligned with the third magnetic component 9 along the front-to-rear direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-described embodiment, the first magnetic component is aligned with the third magnetic component 9 along the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a.
[0047] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.
[0048] Please refer to FIGS. 29 to 39. FIG. 29 is a front view of a magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

FIG. 35 is a view of the magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with the two first buckle components 10 and the cover of the second buckle component 3 removed. FIG. 36 is an exploded view of the magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 37 is a partial view showing a magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 38 is another partial view showing the magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 39 is an enlarged view showing part H shown in Figure 38 of the magnetic buckle assembly 100c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Differences between the magnetic buckle assembly 100b and the magnetic buckle assembly 100c are as follows:
[0049] First, as shown in FIGS. 29 to 39 , in some embodiments, the operating component 4 is movably connected to the switch 5. Specifically, the operating component 4 is slidably disposed on the front wall of the second buckle component 3. When the operating component 4 is operated and slid, the switch 5 is driven to rotate about the rotation axis L. The operating component 4 may be a push button. The sliding direction of the operating component 4 relative to the second buckle component 3 intersects with the arrangement direction of the rotation axis L and is perpendicular to the lateral and front-to-rear directions of the magnetic buckle assembly 100c. The driving structure 10b is formed on the operating component 4, and the driven structure 11b is formed on the switch 5 to cooperate with the driving structure 10b. The operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L through cooperation between the driving structure 10b and the driven structure 11b. The driving structure 10b may be a slot structure, and the driven structure 11b may be a columnar structure slidably disposed inside the slot structure and offset from the rotation axis L. When the operating component 4 is driven to slide, the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate through cooperation between the slot structure and the columnar structure. More specifically, the columnar structure is located on an end face of the switch 5 facing the operating component 4, and the longitudinal direction of the slot structure intersects with the sliding direction of the operating component 4. The longitudinal direction of the slot structure may be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the operating component 4, so that the resulting force acting on the switch 5 can drive the switch 5 to rotate about the rotation axis L. Furthermore, a hollow structure 53 is formed in the middle portion of the switch 5, and the second magnetic component 8 is embedded in the hollow structure 53. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100b according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 is fixed to the switch 5, and the operating component 4 drives and rotates the switch 5. Furthermore, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-described embodiment, the second magnetic component 8 is accommodated inside the connecting chamber 41 and the accommodating chamber 52.
[0050] Second, as shown in Figures 32 and 35 to 37, in some embodiments, the first elastic component 13a can be an elastic spring disposed between the movement component 4 and the second buckle component 3. A guide portion 42 is formed on the movement component 4 to elastically deform the first elastic component 13a, and the first elastic component 13a surrounds the guide portion 42. On the other hand, the first elastic component 13b is a torsion spring that surrounds the switch 5 and is located between the switch 5 and the second buckle component 3, i.e., the lateral surface of the switch 5 guides the deformation of the torsion spring.
[0051] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100c are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.

FIGS. 46 and 47 are internal structural views of the magnetic buckle assembly 100d in different states according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 48 is a view showing the second buckle component 3 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 49 is an exploded view of the second buckle component 3 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Differences between the magnetic buckle assembly 100c and the magnetic buckle assembly 100d are as follows. As shown in FIGS. 40 to 49 , in some embodiments, the driving structure 10a may be a gear rack structure, and the driven structure 11a may be a gear wheel structure for rotatably engaging with the gear rack structure. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 and rotates it through cooperation between the gear rack structure and the gear wheel structure. Specifically, the gear wheel structure is located at an end portion of the switch 5 adjacent to the operating component 4. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the driving cooperating structure 141, i.e., the first ramp structure, is formed on the operating component 4, and the driven cooperating structure 151, i.e., the second ramp structure, is formed on the latch 6. Therefore, when the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 can drive the latch 6 through cooperation between the driving cooperating structure 141 and the driven cooperating structure 151.
[0053] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100b are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of other structures will be omitted.

[0055] 50 to 55, in some embodiments, the operating component 4 is disposed on the front wall of the second buckle component 3 and is slidable along the front-to-rear direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100e. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100a according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 is disposed on the lateral surface of the second buckle component 3 and is slidable along the lateral direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100e.
[0056] Second, as shown in Figures 53 to 55, in some embodiments, the driving cooperating structure 141, i.e., the first ramp structure, is formed on the lateral wall (side wall) of the movement component 4. The driven cooperating structure 151, i.e., the second ramp structure, is formed on the protruding portion of the lateral wall (side wall) of the latch 6.

[0057] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100e are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 56 to 59. Figure 56 is a schematic diagram showing a magnetic buckle assembly 100f according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 57 is a partial view showing the magnetic buckle assembly 100f according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 58 and 59 are views showing the second buckle component 3 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure from different perspectives. The differences between the magnetic buckle assembly 100d and the magnetic buckle assembly 100f are as follows.
[0059] First, as shown in FIGS. 56 to 59 , in some embodiments, the shoulder strap buckle 1 is stacked above the waist strap buckle 2 along the front-to-rear direction of the magnetic buckle assembly 100f. The waist strap buckle 2 has an engagement portion 22 formed therein. The engagement portion 22 can be an engagement hole. The engagement arm 102 protrudes from the shoulder strap buckle 1 to engage with the engagement hole 22, and the contour of the engagement arm 102 matches the contour of the engagement hole. The engagement arm 102 is recessed within the engagement hole, which makes the engagement arm 102 visible from the front, thereby facilitating the connection between the shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100d according to the above-described embodiment, the engagement arm 102 engages with a recessed structure formed on the rear surface of the waist strap buckle 2, which makes the engagement arm 102 invisible from the front. The connection configuration of the shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 depends on the actual requirements.
[0060] 56 to 59, in some embodiments, the magnetic buckle assembly 100f has two first magnetic components 7 disposed on the two first buckle components 10 and a second magnetic component 8 disposed inside the second buckle component 3, and the third magnetic component is omitted to reduce the space occupied by the first buckle component 10 and to lower manufacturing costs. On the other hand, the magnetic buckle assembly 100d according to the above-mentioned embodiment has two first magnetic components 7 disposed on the two first buckle components 10, two third magnetic components 9 disposed on the two first buckle components 10, and a second magnetic component 8 disposed on the switch 5 inside the second buckle component 3.
[0061] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100f are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100d, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.

Differences between the magnetic buckle assembly 100d and the magnetic buckle assembly 100g are as follows:
[0063] First, as shown in Figures 60 and 61, in some embodiments, each of the first buckle components 10 includes a shoulder strap buckle 1 and a waist strap buckle 2. The shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 are coupled together to form a one-piece male buckle. The second buckle component 3 is a crotch strap buckle. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100d according to the above-described embodiment, the shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 are two separate structures that can be combined with each other.
[0064] Second, as shown in Figures 60 to 64, in some embodiments, the magnetic buckle assembly 100g has two first magnetic components 7 disposed on the two first buckle components 10, a second magnetic component 8 disposed on the switch 5 inside the second buckle component 3, and omits the third magnetic component.

[0065] Third, as shown in FIGS. 62 to 64 , in some embodiments, the operating component 4 is directly connected to the latch 6. Specifically, the driven cooperating structure 151 is formed on the latch 6, and the driving cooperating structure 141 is formed on the operating component 4. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the operating component 4 drives the latch 6 through cooperation between the driving cooperating structure 141 and the driven cooperating structure 151, and disengages the locking structure 61 from the locked structure 103. The driving cooperating structure 141 may be a first inclined surface structure inclined with respect to the sliding direction of the latch 6, and the driven cooperating structure 151 may be a second inclined surface structure. When the operating component 4 is operated to slide, the first inclined surface structure is driven to push the second inclined surface structure, which drives and slides the latch 6, and disengages the locking structure 61 from the locked structure 103. On the other hand, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100d according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate and drives the latch 6 to slide. Specifically, when the operating component 4 drives the switch 5 to rotate, the switch 5 drives the latch 6 to slide in cooperation with the driving cooperating structure 141, i.e., the first spiral surface structure, and the driven cooperating structure 151, i.e., the second spiral surface structure, thereby disengaging the locking structure 61 from the locked structure 103. Furthermore, in the magnetic buckle assembly 100d according to the above-described embodiment, the central axis of the first spiral surface structure coincides with the rotation axis L.

The shoulder strap buckle 1 is slidably assembled with the waist strap buckle 2. Specifically, the waist strap buckle 2 has an insertion slot 2a formed therein, and the shoulder strap buckle 1 has an insertion portion 1a formed therein. The shoulder strap buckle 1 is assembled with the waist strap buckle 2 by inserting the insertion portion 1a into the insertion slot 2a. The cross section of the insert portion 1 a may be T-shaped, and the cross section of the insert slot 2 a coincides with the cross section of the insert portion 1 a. Furthermore, the shoulder strap buckle 1 is not provided with a third magnetic component.
[0068] Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100h are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100d, and for the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.
[0069] Please refer to FIGS. 69 to 71. FIG. 69 is a schematic diagram illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100i according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 70 is a diagram illustrating the magnetic buckle assembly 100i according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with one of the first buckle components 10 removed. FIG. 71 is an exploded view illustrating the magnetic buckle assembly 100i according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 69 to 71, in some embodiments, similar to the magnetic buckle assembly 100g according to the above-described embodiment, each first buckle component 10 includes a shoulder strap buckle 1 and a waist strap buckle 2. The shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 are coupled to each other to form a one-piece male buckle. The second buckle component 3 is a crotch strap buckle. Two first magnetic components 7 are disposed on the two first buckle components 10. The second magnetic component 8 is disposed on a switch 5 inside the second buckle component 3. The third magnetic component is omitted. Other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100i, such as the structure for driving the latch 6 to disengage from the first buckle component 10, are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100a. For the sake of simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.
[0070] Please refer to FIGS. 72 to 76. FIG. 72 is a schematic diagram illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100j according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 73 is an exploded view illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100j according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 74 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100j according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 75 and 76 are views illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100j according to some embodiments of the present disclosure in different states. As shown in FIGS. 72 to 76, in some embodiments, similar to the magnetic buckle assembly 100g according to the above-described embodiment, each first buckle component 10 includes a shoulder strap buckle 1 and a waist strap buckle 2. The shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 are connected to each other to form a one-piece male buckle. The second buckle component 3 is a crotch strap buckle. Two first magnetic components 7 are disposed on the two first buckle components 10. The third magnetic component is omitted. Unlike the magnetic buckle assembly 100g according to the above-described embodiments, the switch 5 is fixedly connected to the operating component 4, and the second magnetic component 8 is disposed on the switch 5 and is slidable together with the operating component 4. The second magnetic component 8 has a first magnetic part 8a and a second magnetic part 8b disposed inside a first chamber 5a and a second chamber 5b formed in the switch 5. The first magnetic part 8a is for magnetically attracting the two first magnetic components 7, and the second magnetic part 8b is for magnetically repelling the two first magnetic components 7. In some embodiments, the first magnetic part 8a and the second magnetic part 8b are separate parts. However, in other embodiments, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part may be integrally formed.
[0071] When the operating component 4 is released and returned to the position shown in FIG. 75, the first magnetic part 8a is aligned with the two first magnetic components 7 and magnetically attracts the two first magnetic components 7 to facilitate pairing of the two first buckle components 10 and the second buckle component 3. When the operating component is operated and slid to the position shown in FIG. 76, the second magnetic part 8b is aligned with the two first magnetic components 7 and magnetically repels the two first magnetic components 7 to facilitate separation of the two first buckle components 10 and the second buckle component 3. The other structures of the magnetic buckle assembly 100j are similar to those of the magnetic buckle assembly 100d. For simplicity, detailed descriptions of the other structures will be omitted in this specification.
[0072] Please refer to FIGS. 77 to 80. FIG. 77 is a schematic diagram illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100k according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 78 is an exploded view illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100k according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 79 and 80 are views illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 100k according to some embodiments of the present disclosure in various states. As shown in FIGS. 77 to 80, in some embodiments, similar to the magnetic buckle assembly 100g according to the above-described embodiment, each first buckle component 10 includes a shoulder strap buckle 1 and a waist strap buckle 2. The shoulder strap buckle 1 and the waist strap buckle 2 are coupled to each other to form a one-piece male buckle. The second buckle component 3 is a crotch strap buckle. Two first magnetic components (not shown) are disposed on the first buckle component 10. The second magnetic component 8 omits the third magnetic component disposed on the switch 5 inside the second buckle component 3. Unlike the magnetic buckle assembly 100g according to the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 has a first operating part 4a and a second operating part 4b. The first operating part 4a is for driving the latch 6 to disengage the two first buckle components 10. The second operating part 4b is for driving the switch 5 to reverse the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8.
[0073] Specifically, the first operating part 4a and the second operating part 4b are slidably disposed on the second buckle component 3 and can be operated to slide independently. In some embodiments, the sliding direction of the first operating part 4a can be parallel to the front-to-rear direction, and the sliding direction of the second operating part 4b can be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first operating part 4a. The driving cooperating structure 141 is formed on the first operating part 4a of the operating component 4 to cooperate with the driven cooperating structure 151 formed on the latch 6. The driving structure 10a is formed on the second operating part 4b of the operating component 4 to cooperate with the driven structure 11a formed on the switch 5. The retaining structure 411 is formed on the first operating part 4a and engages with the retaining engagement portion 31 formed on the second buckle component 3. The release structure 421 is formed on the second operating part 4b and disengages the retaining structure 411 from the second buckle component 3.
[0074] When the first operating part 4a is operated to slide along the first operating direction R1 from the position shown in FIG. 79 to the position shown in FIG. 80 to disengage the latch 6 from the two first buckle components 10, the retaining structure 411 can engage with the retaining engagement portion 31 and hold the first operating part 4a in the position shown in FIG. 80. After the first operating part 4a is held by the engagement between the retaining structure 411 and the retaining engagement portion 31, the first operating part 4a can be released and the second operating part 4b can be operated to slide. When the second operating part 4b is operated to slide along a second operating direction R2 perpendicular to the first operating direction R1 to activate the switch 5 and reverse the magnetic field direction of the second magnetic component 8, the release structure 421 can disengage the retaining structure 411 from the retaining engagement portion 31 on the second buckle component 3, allowing the first operating part 4a to return upward, for example, by an elastic component. That is, the magnetic buckle assembly 100k provides a two-stage separation to prevent unintentional separation of the first buckle component 10 and the second buckle component 3, and the user can release the first operating part 4a after operating the first operating part 4a to disengage the latch 6 from the two first buckle components 10, thereby providing convenience during use.
[0075] However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, see FIGS. 81 and 82. FIGS. 81 and 82 are diagrams illustrating a magnetic buckle assembly 1001 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 81 and 82, in some embodiments, the first operating part 4a does not have a retaining structure formed thereon, so that the first operating part 4a cannot be retained when the first operating part 4a is operated and slid to disengage the latch 6 from the two first buckle components (not shown). That is, in some embodiments, a user can use two hands or two fingers to operate the first operating part 4a and the second operating part 4b without releasing the first operating part 4a, thereby achieving separation of the two first buckle components 10 and the second buckle component 3.
[0076] Furthermore, as can be understood, the configuration of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component in any of the magnetic buckle assemblies 100c to 100i and 100j, 100k according to the above-described embodiments is similar to the configuration shown in Figures 12 to 14, and can be replaced with the configuration shown in Figures 23 to 25 or Figures 26 to 28.
[0077] In contrast to the prior art, the magnetic buckle assembly of the present disclosure utilizes cooperation of an operating component, a switch, a latch, a first magnetic component, and a second magnetic component to change the direction of the magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the first magnetic component by rotating the switch when the operating component is operated to disengage the latch from the first buckle component. Thus, the first and second magnetic components can be configured to magnetically attract each other when the first buckle component is mated with the second buckle component. When the operating component is operated to disengage the latch from the first buckle component, the first and second magnetic components can magnetically repel each other to allow separation of the first and second buckle components, thereby facilitating the pairing and uncoupling of the magnetic buckle assembly. As can be appreciated, the first and second magnetic components may similarly be configured to magnetically repel each other when the first magnetic buckle component is paired with the second magnetic buckle component, and the first and second magnetic buckle components may be configured to magnetically attract each other when the operating component is operated to disengage the latch from the first buckle component, thereby preventing unintentional separation of the first and second buckle components.
