Description
A carabiner assembly
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024112398795, filed on September 04, 2024, and titled "A carabiner assembly", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of webbing connection, in particular to a carabiner assembly. BACKGROUND
[0003] The carabiner assembly is commonly used in components such as backpacks and safety ropes to achieve the connection or separation between two different webbings.
[0004] In the related art, the carabiner assembly includes a male component and a female component. The male component is provided with a pressing spring arm, and the pressing spring arm is synchronously configured with a buckling structure. The female component is provided with a locking surface. In the plugged state, the male component can be partially inserted into the female component, and the buckling structure can abut against the locking surface. When a pulling force that drives the male component and the female component to separate is generated, the structural design of the pressing spring arm makes the force that the buckling structure receives at the position where it abuts against the locking surface and the pulling force form a certain angle. Thus, when the pulling force is relatively high, the pressing spring arm can be forced to rotate automatically, thereby causing the male component and the female component to be separated undesirably, which is not conducive to ensuring the connection reliability of the male component and the female component.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a solution to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned defects is still a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a carabiner assembly with high connection reliability of the male component and the female component.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application provides a carabiner assembly, which includes a male component and a female component. The male component and the female component are configured to be able to be plugged or separated along a first direction. The male component includes a locking rod and a pressing spring arm. The locking rod and the pressing spring arm are spaced apart along a second direction, and the second direction and the first direction are arranged at an included angle. The locking rod includes a rod portion and a locking head portion connected to each other. The rod portion extends along the first direction. The pressing spring arm is configured to rotate under the action of an external force to drive the locking rod to rotate. The female component is provided with a locking surface. The locking surface is perpendicular to the first direction, and the locking surface is used to abut against the locking head portion along the first direction.
[0008] In the above scheme, the rod part extends along the first direction, and the locking surface is perpendicular to the first direction. When the lock head part abuts against the locking surface along the first direction, the convex part and the concave part can be inserted and fixed. At this time, when the convex part and the concave part are subjected to a separation driving force along the first direction, the direction of the separation driving force is also perpendicular to the locking surface and the locking surface, and is consistent with the extension direction of the locking rod. In this way, the locking rod is not easy to automatically rotate due to the separation driving force, and accordingly, the convex part and the concave part are not easy to be separated undesirably until the separation driving force can reach the structural stress limit of the convex part and the concave part, the structural strength of the convex part and the concave part can be more fully utilized, and the connection reliability of the convex part and the concave part is improved.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the application provides a plug-in assembly, which includes a male component 1000 and a female component 2000. In specific applications, for example, in the scenarios of backpacks or safety ropes, the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be connected to different straps respectively, and the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be plugged in or separated, so as to realize the connection or separation of different straps.
[0041] For the convenience of description, in the embodiments of the application, a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z can be defined. The first direction X is the direction of plugging in or separating the male component 1000 and the female component 2000, the second direction Y and the third direction Z can be arranged at an angle with the first direction X, and the second direction Y and the third direction Z can also be arranged at an angle; the angle can be ninety degrees, of course, it can also be other angle values, which are not limited here.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 3, the male component 1000 can include two side plate parts 1100, a base part 1200, a first connecting rod 1300, a second connecting rod 1400, two locking rods 1500 and two pressing elastic arms 1600.
[0043] The two side plate parts 1100 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The base part 1200 can extend along the second direction Y, and the base part 1200 can be connected to the two side plate parts 1100 at both ends of the second direction Y respectively. The first connecting rod 1300 and the second connecting rod 1400 can extend along the second direction Y, and the first connecting rod 1300 can be connected to the two side plate parts 1100 at both ends of the second direction Y respectively, and the second connecting rod 1400 can also be connected to the two side plate parts 1100 at both ends of the second direction Y respectively.
[0044] The gap 1900 can be formed between the base part 1200 and the first connecting rod 1300, and between the first connecting rod 1300 and the second connecting rod 1400, which can be used to wrap the strap, so as to realize the connection of the strap and the male component 1000.
[0045] The locking rod 1500 can be connected to the base part 1200. In the embodiments of the application, the locking rod 1500 includes a rod part 1510 and a locking head part 1520, the rod part 1510 can extend along the first direction X, and the locking head part 1520 can be located on the side of the rod part 1510 away from the base part 1200 in the first direction X. The area of the cross section of the locking head part 1520 perpendicular to the first direction X can be greater than that of the rod part 1510, so that, as shown in FIG. 2, one side of the locking head part 1520 facing the base part 1200 in the first direction X can form a locking surface 1522.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the lock bars 1500 and the pressing elastic arms 1600 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. In combination with FIG. 2, the direction along the second direction Y relatively close to the center line P of the male component 1000 is defined as the inner direction, and the direction along the second direction relatively far away from the center line P is defined as the outer direction. Then, the two pressing elastic arms 1600 are respectively located on the outer sides of the two lock bars 1500, and the two pressing elastic arms 1600 can protect the lock bars 1500, so as to reduce the possibility that external force directly acts on the lock bars 1500.
[0047] In the above scheme, the lock bars 1500 and the pressing elastic arms 1600 are independent of each other, the pressing elastic arms 1600 only need to bear the pressing driving function, and the lock bars 1500 only need to bear the function of locking with the female component 2000, so that the separation of the pressing driving function and the locking function can be realized, and the structure forms of the pressing elastic arms 1600 and the lock bars 1500 can be relatively simple.
[0048] In some optional implementation manners, the pressing elastic arm 1600 can include a pressing plate portion 1610, a force applying plate portion 1620 and a connecting strip 1630.
[0049] The pressing plate portion 1610 can be connected with the side plate portion 1100 at one end portion in the first direction X, and this end portion is a fixed end portion. The other end portion of the pressing plate portion 1610 in the first direction X is a free end portion, and the force applying plate portion 1620 can be connected with the free end portion. The force applying plate portion 1620 can be located on the inner side of the pressing plate portion 1610, so as to reduce the distance between the pressing elastic arm 1600 and the lock bar 1500. In specific application, the operator can directly exert a driving force on the pressing plate portion 1610, so that the free end portion of the pressing plate portion 1610 can rotate inwards about the connection position of the fixed end portion and the side plate portion 1100 along the first rotation direction M shown in FIG. 2, and the force applying plate portion 1620 can exert a force on the lock bar 1500, so as to drive the lock bar 1500 to rotate.
[0050] In combination with FIG. 1, the outer wall surface of the pressing plate portion 1610 can further be provided with a protruding portion 1611, and the protruding portion 1611 can play a role of increasing friction, so as to facilitate the driving rotation operation of the operator on the pressing plate portion 1610, and improve the operation feeling. In addition, the protruding portion 1611 can also play a role of decoration, so as to increase the appearance effect of the plug-in buckle assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application.
[0051] The connecting strip 1630 can be connected to the side plate portion 1100 at one end in the first direction X, and connected to the force applying plate portion 1620 at the other end in the first direction X. The connecting strip 1630 can be located on the inner side of the pressing plate portion 1610. The connecting strip 1630 can serve as a reinforcing structure to improve the structural strength of the pressing spring arm 1600, and reduce the possibility of damage to the pressing spring arm 1600 during use, especially when the pressing spring arm 1600 is rotated outward in the second rotation direction N around the connection between the pressing spring arm 1600 and the side plate portion 1100 due to misuse or accident. This is conducive to ensuring the quality and service life of the male component 1000.
[0052] It should be understood that the specific structure of the pressing spring arm 1600 is not limited to the above description. In fact, in some other implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the pressing spring arm 1600 can also have other structures as long as it meets the use requirements. For example, at least part of the outer wall surface of the pressing plate portion 1610 can also be provided with a striped structure instead of the protruding portion 1611 described above, which can also improve the operation convenience and operation feel of the operator. For another example, the connecting strip 1630 can not be provided, and then the structural strength of the pressing spring arm 1600 can be improved by changing the material of the pressing spring arm 1600 or increasing the size of the pressing spring arm 1600, so as to reduce the possibility of damage to the pressing spring arm 1600. For another example, the force applying plate portion 1620 can not be provided, and then the pressing plate portion 1610 can directly act on the lock rod 1500.
[0053] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the female component 2000 can include a first wall portion 2100, a second wall portion 2200, and a third connecting rod 2300.
[0054] The first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200 can be oppositely arranged along a third direction Z, and both the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200 can be connected to the third connecting rod 2300, so that the female component 2000 can be formed as a whole. The first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200 can form a plug-in space 2000A, and the male component 1000 can be specifically plugged into the plug-in space 2000A. The third connecting rod 2300 is also used to connect the braid, so as to realize the connection between the braid and the female component 2000.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 6, the first wall portion 2100 can be provided with a locking block 2400 on the side facing the second wall portion 2200, and the locking block 2400 can be provided with a locking surface 2410, which can be perpendicular to the first direction X. As shown in FIGS. 7-9, when the male component 1000 is inserted into the female component 2000, the locking surface 2410 can abut against the locking surface 1522 of the locking head 1520 along the first direction X to complete the locking between the male component 1000 and the female component 2000.
[0056] In this way, when the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are subjected to a separation driving force along the first direction X, the direction of the separation driving force is perpendicular to both the locking surface 2410 and the locking surface 1522, and is consistent with the extension direction of the locking rod 1500. In this way, the locking rod 1500 is less likely to automatically rotate due to the separation driving force, and correspondingly, the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are less likely to be separated undesirably, until the separation driving force can reach the structural stress limit of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000, which can more fully utilize the structural strength of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000, and is beneficial to improving the connection reliability of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000.
[0057] When it is necessary to unlock, an operator can exert a driving force on the pressing arm 1600 to drive the pressing arm 1600 to rotate inwardly along the first rotation direction M shown in FIG. 2, and the pressing arm 1600 can drive the locking head 1520 to rotate inwardly along the first rotation direction M as well, so that the locking head 1520 can be separated from the locking surface 2410 to achieve the unlocking between the male component 1000 and the female component 2000. At this time, the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be separated along the first direction X.
[0058] It should be understood that in addition to the first wall portion 2100, the side of the second wall portion 2200 facing the first wall portion 2100 can also be provided with the locking block 2400 described above, that is, the locking block 2400 can be located in at least one of the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 6, the locking block 2400 can further be provided with a first guide surface 2420. At least a portion of the first guide surface 2420 can be arranged at an angle with respect to the first direction X, and the first guide surface 2420 is configured to guide the insertion of the locking head 1520, thereby improving the insertion smoothness of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000. Specifically, during the insertion of the male component 1000 into the female component 2000, the first guide surface 2420 can generate a driving force on the locking head 1520, so as to drive the locking rod 1500 to rotate, so that the locking head 1520 can avoid the locking block 2400 during the insertion of the male component 1000, until the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are inserted into place, and the locking rod 1500 can automatically rotate, and the locking surface 1522 and the locking surface 2410 can abut along the first direction X.
[0060] The first guide surface 2420 can be a flat surface. Alternatively, the first guide surface 2420 can also be a curved surface, such as an arc-shaped surface, or a combination of multiple flat surfaces arranged at an angle, or a combination of a flat surface and an arc-shaped surface. In general, as long as the first guide surface 2420 can guide the insertion of the locking head 1520, any structure is acceptable.
[0061] The first guide surface 2420 can be directly connected to the locking surface 2410, such as shown in FIG. 6, and the first guide surface 2420 and the locking surface 2410 can be two adjacent surfaces of the locking block 2400. Alternatively, the first guide surface 2420 and the locking surface 2410 can also be connected through other transition surfaces, which is also acceptable.
[0062] In combination with FIG. 2, the locking head 1520 can be provided with a second guide surface 1521, which is also configured to guide the insertion of the locking rod 1500. The structure of the second guide surface 1521 can be consistent with the first guide surface 2420, and thus will not be repeated here. In actual applications, the first guide surface 2420 and the second guide surface 1521 can be selectively arranged, or both can be arranged, and the specific arrangement can be determined according to the actual needs.
[0063] In the implementation shown in the drawings, as shown in FIGS. 1-12, the locking rod 1500 and the pressing spring arm 1600 are both two, which is beneficial to improve the connection reliability between the male component 1000 and the female component 2000. In some other implementations of the present application, the locking rod 1500 and the pressing spring arm 1600 can also be one, and thus the structure of the insertion buckle assembly provided by the present application can be relatively simple.
[0064] In some optional implementations, the male component 1000 can further include a first guide structure 1700, and the female component 2000 can further include a first guide matching structure 2500. The first guide matching structure 2500 can be connected to the first wall portion 2100 and / or the second wall portion 2200, i.e., the first guide matching structure 2500 can be connected to at least one of the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200.
[0065] During the plugging or unplugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000, the first guide structure 1700 and the first guide matching structure 2500 are configured to be slidably connected along the first direction X. In this way, the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be guided, and the directionality and smoothness during the plugging and unplugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be ensured. Moreover, after the plugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 is completed, the cooperation of the first guide structure 1700 and the first guide matching structure 2500 can also reduce the swing of the male component 1000 relative to the female component 2000, and the connection reliability and stability of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be improved.
[0066] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, in the embodiments of the present application, the first guide structure 1700 can include two first guide plates 1710 extending along the first direction X, the two first guide plates 1710 can be spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the two first guide plates 1710 can be connected to the base portion 1200; the first guide matching structure 2500 can include two first guide matching plates 2510 extending along the first direction X, the two first guide matching plates 2510 can also be spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the two first guide matching plates 2510 can be connected to the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200, so as to maintain the spacing of the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200 along the third direction Z, and can improve the structural strength of the female component 2000. In combination with FIG. 9, along the second direction Y, the two first guide plates 1710 can be disposed between the two first guide matching plates 2510, and the two first guide plates 1710 are configured to be slidably connected to the two first guide matching plates 2510, respectively.
[0067] The first guide plate 1710 can further be provided with a third guide surface 1711, which can be used to guide the insertion of the two first guide plates 1710 between the two first guide matching plates 2510. The specific structural form of the third guide surface 1711 can refer to the first guide surface 2420 described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0068] It should be understood that, in addition to the first guide plate 1710, the first guide matching plate 2510 can also be provided with a guide surface to guide the insertion of the first guide plate 1710. In actual application, the guide surface of the first guide matching plate 2510 and the aforementioned third guide surface 1711 can be selectively provided, or all of them can be provided, and the specific use can be determined according to the needs and the like.
[0069] The side of the first guide matching plate 2510 facing the first guide plate 1710 can be provided with a first protrusion 2511. After the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are inserted into place, the first guide matching plate 2510 is configured to be in contact with the first guide plate 1710 through the first protrusion 2511. The first protrusion 2511 can effectively eliminate the gap between the first guide plate 1710 and the first guide matching plate 2510 in the second direction Y, and can greatly realize the tight fit of the first guide structure 1700 and the first guide matching structure 2500 in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the swing of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 after the insertion is completed, and improving the connection reliability and stability of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000.
[0070] It should be understood that, in addition to the first protrusion 2511 described above, the embodiments of the present application can also be provided with a second protrusion (not shown in the figure) on the side of the first guide plate 1710 facing the first guide matching plate 2510, and the first guide plate 1710 can be in contact with the first guide matching plate 2510 through the second protrusion, which can also achieve the technical effect of reducing the swing of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 after the insertion is completed. In actual application, only one of the first protrusion 2511 and the second protrusion can be provided.
[0071] In combination with FIGS. 2, 9 and 11, the first guide matching plate 2510 can be provided with a first positioning notch 2512, and the base body 1200 can be provided with a first positioning protrusion 1210. After the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are inserted, the first positioning protrusion 1210 is configured to be inserted into the first positioning notch 2512 along the first direction X. In this way, the swing of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 after the insertion is completed can also be reduced, thereby improving the connection reliability and stability of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000. Moreover, the insertion and fitting of the first positioning protrusion 1210 and the first positioning notch 2512 are also conducive to ensuring that the rod portion 1510 of the lock rod 1500 extends along the first direction X after the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 are inserted, which promotes the reliable locking of the lock head portion 1520 and the lock block 2400.
[0072] It should be understood that in some other implementations of the embodiments of the present application, it is also possible to provide two first guide matching plates 2510 between the two first guide plates 1710, which is also feasible. In addition, the first guide structure 1700 and the first guide matching structure 2500 can also be provided in the form of a slide rail and a slide groove, and in specific applications, the slide rail can be inserted into the slide groove, so that the guiding effect can be achieved.
[0073] In some optional implementations, at least one of the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200 can be provided with a second positioning notch 2110. The convex component 1000 can be provided with a second positioning protrusion 1220, as shown in FIG. 10, which can be configured to be inserted into the second positioning notch 2110 in the first direction X.
[0074] Through the insertion and cooperation of the second positioning protrusion 1220 and the second positioning notch 2110, the swing of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 after the insertion is completed can be reduced, thereby improving the connection reliability and stability of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000. Moreover, it is also beneficial to ensure that the rod portion 1510 of the lock rod 1500 extends along the first direction X after the insertion of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 is completed, which promotes the reliable locking of the lock head portion 1520 and the lock block 2400.
[0075] In some optional implementations, one of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 can be provided with an elastic unlocking portion 1800. When the lock head portion 1520 and the locking surface 2410 abut along the first direction X, that is, after the insertion of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 is completed, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can abut against the other one of the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000, and the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can be in an unlocking and energy storage state to accumulate elastic potential energy.
[0076] In this way, after the operator controls the press arm 1600 to exert a driving force on the lock rod 1500 to unlock the lock head portion 1520 and the lock block 2400, the elastic potential energy accumulated by the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can be released to drive the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 to quickly separate, which can reduce the situation that the lock head portion 1520 and the lock block 2400 are relocked after being unlocked due to improper operation, and the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 cannot be smoothly separated, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can be arranged on the convex component 1000, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can be a bent plate, including a first plate portion 1810 and a second plate portion 1820, the first plate portion 1810 can be connected with the base portion 1200, and at least a part of the second plate portion 1820 can be arranged at an angle with the first plate portion 1810. In combination with FIG. 6, the concave component 2000 can be provided with a top block 2700. In combination with FIG. 12, after the convex component 1000 and the concave component 2000 are inserted and assembled, the top block 2700 is configured to abut against the second plate portion 1820, and the top block 2700 can drive the elastic unlocking portion 1800 to deform through the second plate portion 1820, so that the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can be in an unlocked and stored state.
[0078] In the implementation manner of the drawings, as shown in FIG. 1, the first plate portion 1810 can be a flat plate portion, and the second plate portion 1820 can be a curved plate portion, such as an arc plate portion and the like. In addition, in some other implementation manners of the embodiment of the present application, the second plate portion 1820 can also be a flat plate portion, as long as it can be arranged at an angle with the first plate portion 1810; or, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can also be entirely arranged as an arc plate portion, which is also feasible.
[0079] In combination with FIG. 1-FIG. 3, one plate surface of the second plate portion 1820 is used to contact the top block 2700, and the other plate surface of the second plate portion 1820 can be provided with a convex portion 1821, which can be used to improve the structural strength of the second plate portion 1820.
[0080] In the implementation manner of the drawings, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of the top blocks 2700 can be two, and the two top blocks 2700 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. In addition, in some other implementation manners of the embodiment of the present application, the top blocks 2700 can also be one, or three or more, which are not limited herein, as long as the use requirements can be met.
[0081] One plate surface of the first plate portion 1810 can be provided with a second guide structure 1811, and the second guide structure 1811 and the aforementioned convex portion 1821 can be located on the same side of the elastic unlocking portion 1800 in the third direction Z, or can also be located on different sides. The concave component 2000 can be provided with a second guide matching structure 2600.
[0082] During the plugging or unplugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000, the second guiding structure 1811 and the second guiding matching structure 2600 are configured to be slidably connected along the first direction X. In this way, the guiding of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be achieved, and the directionality and smoothness during the plugging and unplugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be ensured. Moreover, after the plugging of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 is completed, the matching of the second guiding structure 1811 and the second guiding matching structure 2600 can also reduce the swing of the male component 1000 relative to the female component 2000, and the connection reliability and stability of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 can be improved.
[0083] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, in the embodiment of the present application, the second guiding structure 1811 can include two second guiding plates 1811A extending along the first direction X, and the two second guiding plates 1811A can be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The second guiding matching structure 2600 can include two second guiding matching plates 2610 extending along the first direction X, and the two second guiding matching plates 2610 can also be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, and the two second guiding matching plates 2610 can be connected to one of the first wall portion 2100 and the second wall portion 2200. In combination with FIG. 9, in the second direction Y, the two second guiding plates 1811A can be arranged between the two second guiding matching plates 2610, and the two second guiding plates 1811A are configured to be slidably connected to the two second guiding matching plates 2610, respectively.
[0084] At least one of the second guiding plate 1811A and the second guiding matching plate 2610 can also be provided with a corresponding guiding surface, so as to facilitate the plugging guiding.
[0085] It should be understood that, in some other implementations of the embodiment of the present application, it is also feasible to arrange the two second guiding matching plates 2610 between the two second guiding plates 1811A. In addition, the second guiding structure 1811 and the second guiding matching structure 2600 can also be arranged in the form of a slide rail and a slide groove, and in specific applications, the slide rail can be inserted into the slide groove, so that the guiding effect can also be achieved.
[0086] In addition, in some other implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can also not be arranged as the above-mentioned bent plate. For example, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can include a spring, and after the connection of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 is completed, the spring can also accumulate elastic potential energy, so as to facilitate the rapid separation of the male component 1000 and the female component 2000 after unlocking. For another example, the elastic unlocking portion 1800 can also include an elastic body made of rubber, latex or other materials with better elastic deformation capability, and the function of the elastic body is consistent with that of the spring.
[0087] For the plug-in assembly involved in each of the above implementation manners, the male part 1000 and the female part 2000 can be integrally formed in an integral structure, so as to facilitate the machining and preparation. Of course, for the local structure in the female part 2000 and the male part 1000, a separate preparation and then assembly scheme is also feasible; for example, the convex part 1821 can be separately prepared, and then connected with the second plate part 1820 by using a bonding, welding or other connection manner. That is, the forming process of the female part 2000 and the male part 1000 cannot be regarded as a limitation on the implementation scope of the plug-in assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0088] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
