Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a fixing element, which mainly provides quick and precise resistance when joining at least two or more plates / or containers used in plastics, and can be easily disassembled even if it needs to be disassembled for recycling in the future to reduce the overall space occupied. [Previous Technology]
[0002] Currently, plastic pallets used for pushing various items, plastic molds for forming objects, plastic containers for holding various items, plastic boxes for covering larger objects, simple plastic combination beds or chairs, and scaffolding used on construction sites... Since there are a considerable number of connections between them, the relevant manufacturers use appropriate pushing and pressing tools to maintain a certain degree of stability between the two components to be connected, or to make them removable when they need to be disassembled in the future, making the use of these plastic items increasingly convenient.
[0003] As previously proposed by relevant industry players, a "fixing element" invention with certificate number I322853 is convenient for positioning at least two or more plastic objects. Here, the author also applies to the application of such plastic objects to components that can be more easily positioned when they need to be connected to each other, and can be quickly disassembled when they need to be disassembled in the future. [Summary of the Invention]
[0004] The present invention aims to improve the fastening element for quick directional resistance when at least two or more plastic sheets / containers are joined, and for easy disassembly and recycling in the future. It comprises a first component, a second component, and a fastening element. The corresponding connection range of the first component and the second component forms a through hole to allow the introduction of the fastening element. The periphery of the through hole of the first component is recessed with two corresponding grooves and two staggered corresponding directional recessed sections to cooperate with the two resistance sections extending outward from one end of the fastening element to be introduced and pushed into the through hole of the second component along the two grooves. The periphery of the through hole of the second component is extended with two corresponding blocking sections to allow the fastening element to be directionally restricted by the blocking sections after being rotated at an angle. At the same time, the two elastic sections extending outward from the other end of the fastening element are pushed into the corresponding recessed sections of the first component, so that the first and second components to be joined have a definite directional resistance and can be easily disassembled in the future.
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide rapid directional resistance when at least two or more plastic sheets / containers are joined in a directional manner, and to provide easily disassembled fastening elements that can be easily removed for future disassembly and recycling. The invention comprises: a first component, a second component, and a fastening element. The first component has a through-hole forming its connection range, and a flat area recessed around the through-hole. Around the through-hole in the first component, there are two corresponding grooves and two staggered, correspondingly recessed sections. The second component has a through-hole forming its connection range, and two correspondingly extending blocking sections around the through-hole. One end of the fastening element extends outward with two resistance sections, and the fastening element... The other end has two outwardly extending elastic segments, and a neck that constantly pushes outward due to the gap between the two sides in the middle of the elastic segments; after the aforementioned fixing element is pushed in along the two grooves around the through holes of the first and second components, after being introduced into the second component, the fixing element is rotated at an angle so that the two resisting segments at one end of the aforementioned fixing element can be restricted in position by the corresponding blocking segments of the second component, and the two elastic segments at the other end of the fixing element are pushed into the corresponding recessed segments of the first component, and the neck of the fixing element cuts into the groove of the first component to prevent the fixing element from rotating in the through hole, so that the first and second components to be connected have a definite directional resistance, and can be easily disassembled in the future.
[0006] The second objective of the present invention is that one side of the two resisting sections extending outward from one end of the fixing element is flat, so as to keep the blocking section extending from the corresponding section of the second component restricted after the aforementioned fixing element is fully introduced.
[0007] A third objective of the present invention is that a section of flat area recessed around the through hole of the first component is located in two slightly recessed sections in corresponding orientations, so as to cooperate with the aforementioned fixing element being introduced so that two elastic sections that facilitate peripheral extension are pushed into the corresponding recessed sections of the first component.
[0008] The fourth objective of the present invention is to ensure that the recessed flat area of the first component is fully inserted to accommodate the span extending from one end of the aforementioned fixing element.
[0009] The fifth objective of the present invention is to retain a gap around the periphery of the two corresponding elastic segments extending from one end of the fixing element, the gap forcing the neck of the elastic element to constantly push outward, so as to facilitate the aforementioned fixing element being introduced into / or removed from the first component and the second component.
[0010] The sixth objective of the present invention is to have an annular guide edge recessed around the through hole of the second component, so as to cooperate with the guide edge protrusion extending from the corresponding end of the first component, so that the first and second components can be connected to each other to form a position that is easy to correspond and restrict.
[0011] The seventh objective of the present invention is to form several staggered ribs around the periphery of the fixing element to increase the overall confinement strength.
[0012] The eighth objective of the present invention is that the two resisting sections extending outward from one end of the fixing element are curved protruding surfaces on the other side, so as to cooperate with the chamfer of the first component and the arc or groove formed at the top of the corresponding section of the second component when it is introduced into the lower presser.
