Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail based on the drawings. The drawings are for simplicity and are not drawn to scale, and the actual dimensions of the structures are not shown. For ease of understanding, the same reference numbers are used in the various figures to denote the same elements in common in the figures. The drawings are not to scale and may be simplified for clarity. Elements and features of one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments without further recitation.

Throughout the specification, claims and drawings, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," and "rear," etc. are used for convenience of explanation, but are not intended to limit the relative positions of the various portions or elements.

Hereinafter, an exemplary panel assembly structure 100 according to an embodiment is described with reference to fig. 1 to 7.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a panel assembly structure 100, fig. 2 shows an enlarged perspective view of a panel 110 and an elastic buckle 120 of the panel assembly structure 100, and fig. 3 shows a plan view seen from the arrow I direction (i.e., from the rear to the front) of fig. 2. As shown in fig. 1, the panel assembly structure 100 may include a panel 110, an elastic buckle 120, and a bottom plate 130. The panel 110 may be provided with a bridge 111. The bridge 111 may protrude from the panel 110. The bridge 111 may have two sidewalls 1111, 1112 connected to the panel 110, and the panel 110 may define an upper opening 1101 and a lower opening 1102 with the bridge 111. The elastic buckle 120 may include two engaging portions 121a, 121b and two protruding portions 122a, 122b at both left and right sides. The panel 110 may define an upper opening 1101 and a lower opening 1102 with the bridge 111. The bottom plate 130 may include a through hole 131, and the through hole 131 may abut against the lower side opening 1102. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the resilient catch 120 may be mirror symmetrical left and right.

When the elastic buckle 120 is detachably inserted through the through hole 131, the lower opening 1102 and the upper opening 1101, the two engaging portions 121a, 121b may hook the upper opening 1101 and be elastically forced against the inner surfaces of the side walls 1111, 1112. Here, the insertion of the elastic clasp 120 through the through-hole 131, the lower side opening 1102, and the upper side opening 1101 refers to the insertion state of the elastic clasp 120, and is not intended to limit the order in which the elastic clasp 120 is inserted into the through-hole 131, the lower side opening 1102, and the upper side opening 1101. Further, the two protrusions 122a, 122b may protrude toward the left and right sides by an elastic force and catch the through-hole 131 from the lower side to the upper side, thereby snapping the bottom plate 130 to the panel 110. The engaging portions 121a and 121b hook the upper opening 1101 and abut against the inner surfaces of the side walls 1111 and 1112, so that the vertical movement space and the horizontal movement space of the elastic buckle 120 can be restricted.

Fig. 4 showsbase:Sub>A cross-section taken along linebase:Sub>A-base:Sub>A in fig. 1. The protrusions 122a, 122b may catch the through-hole 131 and abut against the through-hole 131, thereby ensuring that the bottom plate 130 is reliably mounted to the panel 110.

Fig. 1 shows an example in which the panel assembly structure 100 is provided on a side wall of the panel 110, but is not limited thereto, and the panel assembly structure 100 may be provided at any portion of the panel 110.

Fig. 5 shows the structure of the bridge portion 111. As shown in fig. 5, the bridge 111 may be a counter structure provided on the panel 110. However, without being limited thereto, the bridge 111 may be a bridge structure disposed above the plane of the panel 110 to form a trapezoidal channel with the panel 110. In addition, the shape of the bridge portion is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and may be provided in a dome shape, a "fang" shape, or the like.

Fig. 6 shows the structure of the elastic buckle 120. Fig. 7 shows a side view of the elastic catch 120, seen in the direction of arrow II in fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the engaging portion 121a and the protruding portion 122a may be located at one side of the elastic clasp 120, and the engaging portion 121b and the protruding portion 122b may be located at the other side of the elastic clasp 120 opposite to the one side. The engaging portions 121a, 121b may include abutting segments 121a1, 121b1 and hook segments 121a2, 121b2. The hook sections 121a2, 121b2 may hook the upper opening 1101. For example, the two hook sections 121a2, 121b2 of the two engaging portions 121a, 121b may extend in parallel from the edge of the upper opening 1101 toward the left and right sides, as shown in fig. 2. The abutment sections 121a1, 121b1 may be elastically forced against the inner surfaces of the side walls 1111, 1112 of the bridge portion 111, respectively, as shown in fig. 3. The hook sections 121a2, 121b2 may be angled from the abutment sections 121a1, 121b 1. As a non-limiting example, the hook segments 121a2, 121b2 may be at an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, such as 90 degrees, to the abutment segments 121a1, 121b 1.

Further, optionally, the elastic buckle 120 may further include a limiting portion 123. The limiting portion 123 may be configured to limit the back and forth movement of the bottom plate 130 with respect to the panel 110. As shown in fig. 4, the limiting portion 123 may extend from the lower side to the upper side of the elastic buckle 120 through the through hole 131 at an angle to a plane in which the two engaging portions 121a, 121b and the two protruding portions 122a, 122b are located. As a non-limiting example, the angle may be less than 20 °. As shown in fig. 1, when the two engaging portions 121a, 121b hook the upper opening 1101 into position, the limiting portion 123 may abut against the outer surface of the bridge portion 111. By the abutment of the limiting portion 123 against the outer surface of the bridge portion 111, the movable space of the elastic buckle 120 in the front-rear direction can be limited.

The elastic buckle 120 may be formed by bending an elastic wire extending from the hook section 121a2 to the hook section 121b2, as shown in fig. 1 to 7. Here, the wire means a linear material including, but not limited to, a metal wire, a plastic wire, a rubber wire, or a wire including other materials, etc. Further, elastic wire means that the resulting structure has elasticity, and is not intended to limit the material of the wire itself to an elastic material. However, without being limited thereto, the elastic buckle 120 may be an elastic piece or an elastic block, and may have any suitable shape.

Hereinafter, another exemplary panel assembly structure 200 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 8, 9, and 10.

Fig. 8 shows a perspective structural view of the board assembly structure 200. Fig. 9 shows an enlarged view of the area encircled by the dotted circle in fig. 8. Fig. 10 shows a schematic view of the resilient catch 220 of the sheet material mounting structure 200.

As shown in fig. 8 to 10, similar to the panel assembly structure 100, the panel assembly structure 200 may include a panel 210, a resilient catch 220, and a bottom plate 230. The elastic buckle 220 may include two engaging portions 221a, 221b and two protruding portions 222a, 222b. The engaging portion 221a and the protruding portion 222a may be located at one side of the elastic clasp 220, and the engaging portion 221b and the protruding portion 222b may be located at the other side of the elastic clasp 220 opposite to the one side. The panel 210 may be provided with a bridge 211. The bridge 211 may protrude from the panel 210. The bridge 211 may have two sidewalls 2111, 2112 connected to the panel 210. The panel 210 may define an upper opening 2101 and a lower opening 2102 with the bridge 211. When the elastic clip 220 is detachably inserted through the through-hole 231, the lower side opening 2102 and the upper side opening 2101, the two engaging parts 221a, 221b may hook the upper side opening 2101 and be elastically pressed against the inner surfaces of the side walls 2111, 2112, and the two protruding parts 222a, 222b are elastically pressed to protrude toward the left and right sides and clip the through-hole 231 from below upwards, thereby clipping the bottom plate 230 to the panel 210. The engaging portions 221a, 221b may include abutting sections 221a1, 221b1 and hook sections 221a2, 221b2. The hook sections 221a2, 221b2 may hook the upper opening 2101. For example, the two hook sections 221a2, 221b2 may be folded shapes protruding outward from the edge of the upper side opening 2101, as shown in fig. 10. The two protrusions 222a, 222b may form a tight fit with the bottom plate 230. By way of non-limiting example, the resilient clip 220 may be a bent-formed steel wire clip, a plastic clip, or the like.
