The combination component 10 of the present embodiment is used to combine the first article 20 with the second article 30. In the embodiment, the first object 20 is, for example, a plate, and the second object 30 is, for example, a fan, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first article and the second article may be any two articles that need to be combined with each other.

The coupling assembly 10 includes a flexible body 100 and a fastener 200. The flexible body 100 is, for example, a silicone collar formed integrally, and includes a surrounding portion 110, a first position-limiting portion 120, and a second position-limiting portion 130. The surrounding portion 110 has an inner wall surface 112 and an outer wall surface 111 that are opposite to each other. Inner wall surface 112 surrounds through-hole O. The first position-limiting portion 120 and the second position-limiting portion 130 protrude from the outer wall 111 of the surrounding portion 110, and a connecting groove S is formed between the first position-limiting portion 120 and the second position-limiting portion 130. The flexible body 100 is disposed in the combining hole 22 of the first article 20, the combining slot S is engaged with the first article 20, and the second limiting portion 130 is disposed between the first article 20 and the second article 30.

In the embodiment, the length H1 of the first position-limiting part 120 protruding from the surrounding part 110 is less than the length H2 of the second position-limiting part 130 protruding from the surrounding part 110, and the side of the first position-limiting part 120 away from the second position-limiting part 130 has the inclined guide surface 121, so that the first position-limiting part 120 is easier for an assembler to insert into the combining hole 22 of the first article 20, and the second position-limiting part 130 has a better stopping effect and can firmly support the second article 30.

The fastening body 200 is, for example, a pin, and includes a shaft portion 210, a first fastening portion 220, and a second fastening portion 230. The shaft portion 210 is inserted into the opening 32 of the second article 30 and includes a thick section 211, a spacing section 212 and two narrow sections 213 connected to each other. The spacing section 212 connects the two narrow diameter sections 213, and one of the narrow diameter sections 213 connects the spacing section 212 and the large diameter section 211. The diameter DA1 of the large diameter section 211 is greater than the diameter DA3 of the two narrow diameter sections 213. The diameters DA3 of the two narrow diameter sections 213 are equal and larger than the aperture DH of the through hole O, and the narrow diameter section 213 far away from the thick diameter section 211 is arranged through the through hole O in a close fit state. In the embodiment, the narrow diameter section 213 of the fastening body 200 is in interference fit with the flexible body 100, and a ratio of the diameter DA3 of the narrow diameter section 213 of the shaft portion 210 to the aperture DH of the through hole O ranges from 1.05 to 1.5, for example.

In the present embodiment, the number of the narrow diameter sections 213 is two, so that the fastening body 200 can be assembled with fans with two thicknesses, such as a fan with a thickness of 15 mm and a fan with a thickness of 25 mm, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of narrow diameter sections may be only a single, dedicated for assembly with a single thickness fan. Even, the number of the narrow diameter sections can be more than three, so that the fastening body can be compatible with the fan with at least three thicknesses.

In the present embodiment, the lengths L1 and L2 of the two narrow-diameter sections 213 are different, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the lengths of the two narrow diameter sections may be the same. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the two narrow diameter sections 213 are spaced apart from the second fastening portion 230, and the length L1 of the narrow diameter section 213 farther from the second fastening portion 230 is greater than the length L2 of the narrow diameter section 213 closer to the second fastening portion 230.

In the present embodiment, each narrow diameter section 213 has a concave-convex structure 2131 to increase the friction force between the narrow diameter section 213 and the flexible body 100. When the friction between the narrow section 213 and the flexible body 100 is increased, the combination of the fastening body 200 and the flexible body 100 is more fastened, and the combination of the first article 20 and the second article 30 is more firmly combined.

In the present embodiment, the diameter DA1 of the large diameter section 211 is equal to or larger than the diameter DA2 of the spacing section 212, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the diameter of the large diameter section may be smaller than the diameter of the spacer section.

The first fastening portion 220 is, for example, a barb, and the second fastening portion 230 is, for example, a head. The first fastening portion 220 and the second fastening portion 230 are connected to the narrow section 213 and the large section 211 of the shaft portion 210, respectively, which are far away from the large section 211. The diameter D1 of the first fastening portion 220 is, for example, equal to or less than the diameter DA1 of the large diameter section 211 of the shaft portion 210, the diameter D1 of the first fastening portion 220 is, for example, equal to the diameter DA2 of the spacer 212, and the diameter D1 of the first fastening portion 220 is, for example, greater than the diameter DA3 of the narrow diameter section 213. The diameter D2 of the second fastening portion 230 is greater than the diameter DA1 of the large diameter section 211 of the shaft portion 210. The first fastening portion 220 abuts against a side of the first position-limiting portion 120 away from the second position-limiting portion 130, and the second fastening portion 230 is used to abut against a side of the second article 30 away from the first article 20.

In this embodiment, the diameter D2 of the second fastening portion 230 is greater than the diameter D1 of the first fastening portion 220, so that the stop limiting effect of the second fastening portion 230 is better than that of the first fastening portion 220, and the first fastening portion 220 can be easily inserted into the through hole O of the flexible body 100. In addition, the second fastening portion 230 has the concave-convex structure 231, which can increase the frictional resistance on the surface of the second fastening portion 230, thereby facilitating the insertion and extraction of the fastening body 200 by an assembler.

In the embodiment, the ratio of the diameter D1 of the first fastening portion 220 to the aperture DH of the through hole O ranges from 1.05 to 1.5, so that the size of the first fastening portion 220 can satisfy both the convenience of inserting and pulling the fastening body 200 and the flexible body 100 and the fastening firmness of the fastening body 200 and the flexible body 100.

In the present embodiment, the coupling assembly 10 includes the flexible body 100, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the flexible body may be a part of the first article or the second article (e.g., a fan, a water cooling bank, etc.). That is, the coupling assembly includes only the fastening body or only the fastening body and the locking member.

Please refer to fig. 4 and 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first article of fig. 2 bonded to a second article by a bonding assembly.

First, as shown in fig. 4, the assembler pre-engages the flexible body 100 with the coupling hole 22 of the first article 20 and pre-inserts the fastener 200 into the opening 32 of the second article 30. Next, as shown in fig. 5, the assembling person inserts the fastener 200 into the through hole O of the flexible body 100 along the direction a, and the narrow diameter section 213 of the fastener 200 is tightly fitted to the flexible body 100 and the first fastening portion 220 and the second fastening portion 230 are clamped, so that the first article 20 and the second article 30 are combined. Conversely, the first article 20 and the second article 30 can be disassembled by pulling the fastener 200 away from the flexible body 100 in the opposite direction of the direction a. Thus, the assembling personnel can install the second article 30 on the first article 20 or detach the second article 30 from the first article 20 quickly without tools.

Please refer to fig. 6 to 9. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a combination assembly and a first article and a second article according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The shaft portion 210a has a diameter larger than the diameter of the through hole O and is inserted into the through hole O in a close-fitting manner. In this embodiment, the shaft 210a of the fastener 200a is in interference fit with the flexible body 100.

In the present embodiment, the shaft portion 210a has a concave-convex structure 211a to increase the friction force between the shaft portion 210a and the flexible body 100. When the friction between the shaft 210a and the flexible body 100 is increased, the fastening body 200a and the flexible body 100 are combined more tightly, and the first article 20a and the second article 30a are combined more firmly.

The first fastening portion 220a is, for example, a barb, and the second fastening portion 230a is, for example, a stud. The first fastening portion 220a and the second fastening portion 230a are connected to opposite ends of the shaft portion 210a, respectively, and the diameter of the first fastening portion 220a is larger than that of the shaft portion 210 a. The first fastening portion 220a abuts against a side of the first position-limiting portion 120 away from the second position-limiting portion 130, and the second fastening portion 230a is locked to the screw hole of the second article 30 a.

In the present embodiment, the first fastening portion 220a has an operation slot 221a, and the shape of the operation slot 221a is, for example, but not limited to, a cross shape, so as to be used with a cross screwdriver, thereby facilitating an assembler to lock the fastening body 200a to the screw hole 32a of the second object 30 a.

The combination component 10b of the present embodiment is used to combine the first article 20b with the second article 30 b. In the present embodiment, the first article 20b and the second article 30b are both plate bodies, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first article and the second article may be any two articles that need to be combined with each other.

The coupling assembly 10b includes a flexible body 100 and a fastener 200 b. The flexible body 100 is, for example, a silicone collar formed integrally, and includes a surrounding portion 110, a first position-limiting portion 120, and a second position-limiting portion 130. The surrounding portion 110 has a through hole O. The first position-limiting portion 120 and the second position-limiting portion 130 protrude from the outer side of the surrounding portion 110, and a combining groove S is formed between the first position-limiting portion 120 and the second position-limiting portion 130. The flexible body 100 is disposed at the first combining hole 22b of the first article 20b and the second combining hole 32b of the second article 30b, and the combining slot S is used for engaging with the first article 20b and the second article 30 b. In detail, the first coupling hole 22b includes two first positioning holes 24b and 26b connected to each other, and the two first positioning holes 24b and 26b have the same diameter and are smaller than the diameter of the first stopper 120. The second coupling hole 32b includes a fastening hole 32b and a releasing hole 36b connected thereto. The aperture of the release hole 36b is larger than that of the fastening hole 34b, and the diameter of the first position-limiting part 120 is between the aperture of the release hole 36b and the aperture of the fastening hole 34 b.

The fastening body 200b is, for example, a pin, and includes a shaft portion 210b, a first fastening portion 220b, and a second fastening portion 230 b. The shaft portion 210b has a diameter larger than the diameter of the through hole O and is inserted into the through hole O in a close-fitting manner. In this embodiment, the shaft portion 210b of the fastener 200b is in interference fit with the flexible body 100.

In the present embodiment, the shaft portion 210b has a concave-convex structure 211b to increase the friction force between the shaft portion 210b and the flexible body 100. When the friction between the shaft 210b and the flexible body 100 is increased, the fastening body 200 is more tightly combined with the flexible body 100, and the first article 20 is more firmly combined with the second article 30.

The first fastening portion 220b is, for example, a barb, and the second fastening portion 230b is, for example, a head. The first fastening portion 220b and the second fastening portion 230b are respectively connected to opposite ends of the shaft portion 210, and the diameters of the first fastening portion 220b and the second fastening portion 230b are larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 210 b.
