The present embodiment first provides a locking assembly 100.

Fig. 1 is an application scenario diagram of a locking assembly 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The locking assembly 100 may be applied to a mechanism having a detachable function including at least a first object 200 and a second object 300. The second object 300 is provided with a receiving groove 301, the first object 200 may be received in the receiving groove 301, and the first object 200 and the second object 300 may slide relatively. The locking assembly 100 is connected to the first object 200, and the locking assembly 100 is used to achieve the installation or fixation between the first object 200 and the second object 300.

Specifically, the locking assembly 100 has a locked state and an unlocked state.

As shown in a diagram a of fig. 1, when the first object 200 is installed, the first object 200 may be pushed into the accommodating groove 301, and the locking assembly 100 may be switched to a locking state, so that the locking assembly 100 and the second object 300 form a snap fit, and the locking assembly 100 is fixed to the second object 300, so that the first object 200 and the second object 300 are relatively fixed, and the installation and fixation of the first object 200 are realized.

As shown in B of fig. 1, when the first object 200 is detached, the locking assembly 100 may be switched to an unlocked state, the snap fit between the locking assembly 100 and the second object 300 is released, and then the first object 200 is withdrawn from the accommodating groove 301, thereby accomplishing the detachment of the first object 200.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a first embodiment of a locking assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a locking assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the locking assembly 100 includes a mounting base 10, a clamping member 20, a driving member 30 and a linkage member 40. Wherein, mount pad 10 is used for providing the supporting role, and mount pad 10 is hollow structure, and the inside of mount pad 10 is provided with installation cavity 15, and communication hole 11 and drive hole 12 have been seted up to the outside of mount pad 10, and communication hole 11 and drive hole 12 communicate installation cavity 15 respectively, and communication hole 11 and drive hole 12 are located the different sides of mount pad 10 respectively.

The clamping piece 20 is arranged on the mounting seat 10, and the clamping piece 20 is in sliding connection with the mounting seat 10. The sliding path of the clamping member 20 passes through the communication hole 11, and the size of the clamping member 20 is adapted to the communication hole 11, so that the clamping member 20 can move through the communication hole 11, and the movement mode of the clamping member 20 can reciprocate.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, when the locking member 20 moves to a position exposing the communication hole 11, the locking member 20 is exposed outside the mounting seat 10, a protruding structure is formed on the surface of the mounting seat 10, the locking member 20 can form a locking fit with the second object 300, and the locking assembly 100 is in a locked state, i.e. a state shown in a diagram a in fig. 4.

When the locking member 20 moves to a position retracted in the communication hole 11, the locking member 20 is not exposed outside the mounting seat 10, so that the locking member 20 does not form a locking engagement with the second object 300, and the locking assembly 100 is in an unlocked state, i.e., a state shown in fig. 4B and C.

It will be appreciated that, in order to form a snap fit with the snap 20, the second object 300 may be provided with a corresponding snap structure, for example, a snap hole 302 is provided in a groove wall of the accommodating groove 301, and when the first object 200 moves into the accommodating groove 301, the snap 20 may be aligned with and snapped into the snap hole 302.

The driving piece 30 is disposed on the mounting base 10, and the driving piece 30 is slidably connected with the mounting base 10. The sliding path of the driving member 30 passes through the driving hole 12, and the driving member 30 is sized to fit into the driving hole 12 such that the driving member 30 can move through the driving hole 12 in such a manner that the driving member 30 can reciprocate.

The driving member 30 is disposed through the mounting base 10, and the driving member 30 has two opposite ends, one end of which is exposed out of the mounting base 10, and the other end of which is located in the mounting base 10. The end of the driving member 30 exposed out of the mounting seat 10 is a stress end, and the driving member 30 is driven to integrally move under the action of external force, for example, a user can press or push or pull the stress end, so that the driving member 30 integrally slides. One end of the driving member 30 accommodated in the mounting seat 10 is a connection end, and the connection end is used for driving the clamping member 20 to move.

The linkage member 40 is disposed in the mounting base 10, and the linkage member 40 is disposed between the clamping member 20 and the driving member 30, for implementing transmission between the driving member 30 and the clamping member 20. Specifically, the linkage member 40 is connected to an end of the clamping member 20 located in the mounting cavity 15, and the linkage member 40 is connected to a connection end of the driving member 30.

Specifically, the moving direction of the driving member 30 includes a first direction and a second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction. When the driving member 30 moves along the first direction, the linkage member 40 drives the locking member 20 to move towards the direction of retracting into the communication hole 11, so that the locking member 20 is not exposed outside the mounting seat 10.

It will be appreciated that the first object 200 may slip due to the snap-fit disengagement of the snap-fit 20 from the second object 300, with the locking assembly 100 in the unlocked state. Further, when the user needs to remove the first object 200, the first object 200 can be unlocked by moving the driving member 30 in the first direction, and then the first object 200 is pulled out of the accommodating groove 301, so as to facilitate the removal of the first object 200.

When the driving member 30 moves along the second direction, the linkage member 40 drives the locking member 20 to move in the direction exposing the communication hole 11, so that the locking member 20 is exposed outside the mounting seat 10, i.e. a locking engagement is formed.

It can be appreciated that, since the clamping member 20 forms a clamping engagement with the second object 300, the first object 200 is fixed in the accommodating groove 301, and the locking assembly 100 is in the locked state. Further, when the user needs to install the first object 200, the user can push the first object 200 into the accommodating groove 301, and then can lock the first object 200 by moving the driving member 30 towards the second direction, so as to facilitate the installation of the first object 200.

According to the embodiment of the application, the locking state or the unlocking state between the first object 200 and the second object 300 can be easily switched by utilizing the movement of the driving piece 30, so that the first object 200 can be conveniently installed or dismantled by a user, and the user experience is improved.

In one implementation of the present embodiment, the mounting base 10 is provided with a mounting area for connection to the first object 200, the driving hole 12 is provided at a side of the mounting base 10 remote from the mounting area, and the communication hole 11 is provided at a side of the mounting base 10 adjacent to the mounting area. It will be appreciated that when the first object 200 is fixed in the accommodating groove 301, the portion of the mount 10 where the communication hole 11 is provided is accommodated in the accommodating groove 301, and the side of the mount 10 where the driving hole 12 is provided is exposed to the accommodating groove 301.

Specifically, the number of the clamping pieces 20 is greater than or equal to 2, each clamping piece 20 is distributed around the mounting seat 10, the mounting seat 10 is arranged on the plurality of communication holes 11, and each communication hole 11 corresponds to each clamping piece 20 one by one. It can be understood that the moving path of the catching member 20 passes through the communication hole 11 corresponding thereto.

The plurality of clamping pieces 20 can simultaneously clamp the second object 300 when in the locking state, so that the connection stability between the first object 200 and the second object 300 is improved. And, the plurality of clamping pieces 20 synchronously move under the action of the linkage piece 40, so that the first object 200 is convenient to dismount.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the number of the clamping pieces 20 is 2, and the two clamping pieces 20 are respectively located at two sides of the mounting base 10.

With respect to the structure of the linkage 40, in the present embodiment, the linkage 40 includes a first section 41 and a second section 42, where the first section 41 and the second section 42 are respectively located at different positions on the linkage 40, and the first section 41 is connected to the clamping member 20 and the second section 42 is connected to the driving member 30.

The second section 42 has deformability, and in a natural state, the driving member 30 does not generate a pushing force on the second section 42, the second section 42 does not deform, and the clamping member 20 is exposed to the communication hole 11. When the driving member 30 moves along the first direction, the driving member 30 pushes the second section 42 to bend the second section 42, and at this time, the portion of the second section 42 connected to the first section 41 is displaced, and the displacement can drive the first section 41 to move in a direction away from the communication hole 11, and simultaneously drive the clamping member 20 to move, so that the clamping member 20 retracts into the communication hole 11.

Specifically, the number of first segments 41 is identical to the number of the clamping members 20, and each first segment 41 corresponds to each clamping member 20 one by one, and each first segment 41 is distributed around the second segment 42. When the driving member 30 moves in the first direction, the second sections 42 deform at the middle of the linkage member 40, and each of the first sections 41 moves toward the middle of the moving linkage member 40 at the same time.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the number of first segments 41 is 2, two first segments 41 are distributed at two ends of the driving member 30, and the second segment 42 is located in the middle of the linkage member 40.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the two clamping members 20 are distributed along the length direction of the mounting base 10, and the moving direction of the clamping members 20 is parallel to the length direction of the mounting base 10, and the moving direction of the driving member 30 is perpendicular to the length direction of the mounting base 10, that is, the moving direction of the clamping members 20 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the clamping members 20. It is understood that the direction of movement of the driving member 30 includes a first direction and a second direction.

In one implementation of the present embodiment, the driving member 30 is an elastic band, that is, the driving member 30 has elasticity, deformability, and superior deformability as a whole. The middle part of the driving member 30 is located inside the installation cavity 15, and both ends of the driving member 30 face the communication holes 11 on both sides, respectively. The middle part of the driving piece 30 is connected with the driving piece 30 to form a second section 42, and two ends of the driving piece 30 are respectively connected with the corresponding clamping pieces 20 to form a first section 41.

When the driving member 30 moves along the first direction, the second sections 42 bend and deform in the middle of the mounting cavity 15, so that the two second sections 42 move toward the direction approaching the middle of the mounting cavity 15, i.e., the two second sections 42 are away from the corresponding communication holes 11 at the same time, so as to drive the corresponding clamping member 20 to move toward the direction retracting into the communication holes 11.

In some possible embodiments, the driving member 30 may be made of cloth, or other materials that are easily deformed.

In some possible embodiments, the arrangement of the second section 42 may be adjusted according to the number of the snaps 20. For example, when the number of the clamping members 20 is 1, one end of the driving member 30 may be fixed to the mounting base 10, the middle portion of the driving member 30 forms the second section 42, and the opposite end of the driving member 30 serves as the first section 41. For another example, when the number of the clamping members 20 is 4, the plurality of clamping members 20 may be distributed around the driving member 30, or two clamping members 20 may be respectively disposed at two ends of the driving member 30, and the position and the number of the first ends may be adaptively adjusted, which is not limited in this application.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the first section 41 is fixed to the fastening member 20 by adhesion. In some possible embodiments, the fixing manner may be bolting, clamping, integrally forming, etc., which is not limited in this application.

Moreover, since the first section 41 is fixedly connected with the clamping member 20, the moving range of the first section 41 limits the moving range of the clamping member 20, so that the clamping member 20 can only slide within a specified range. Specifically, the range of movement of the first section 41 is limited by the deformability of the second section 42 and the overall length of the driver 30. When the second section 42 is in an undeformed state, the second section 42 is relaxed to the maximum extent, at this time, one end of the clamping member 20 can be exposed to the corresponding communication hole 11, and when the second section 42 is deformed to the maximum extent, the same end of the clamping member 20 can just retract into the corresponding communication hole 11.

In one implementation manner of this embodiment, the second section 42 is connected to the driving member 30 in a clamping manner, that is, the connecting end of the driving member 30 is provided with a clamping hook, and the second section 42 is provided with a clamping hole through which the clamping hook passes and is matched in a clamping manner. In some possible embodiments, the connection manner may also be abutting, bolting, etc., which is not limited in this application.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the mounting base 10 is provided with a first limiting structure (not shown in the drawing) inside, and the first limiting structure limits the clamping member 20 to move reciprocally only in a specified moving direction under normal conditions. It can be appreciated that the sliding structure cooperates with the common technical means in the mechanical field when the limiting structure is used, and the first limiting structure can be adaptively designed according to the sliding manner of the clamping member 20, so that the application does not limit the sliding manner.

In one implementation of the present embodiment, the mounting base 10 is internally provided with a second limiting structure (not shown in the drawings) that limits the driving member 30 to be reciprocally movable only in a specified movement direction under normal conditions. It can be appreciated that the sliding structure cooperates with a common technical means in the mechanical field when the limiting structure is used, and the second limiting structure can be adaptively designed according to the sliding manner of the driving member 30, so that the present application does not limit this.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the locking assembly 100 further includes elastic reset members 50, where the number of reset members 50 is identical to the number of the clamping members 20, and each reset member 50 corresponds to each clamping member 20 one by one.

The reset element 50 is mounted in the mounting seat 10 and abuts against the corresponding clamping element 20. The reset element 50 is used for providing a pretightening force or an elastic force, the pretightening force is used for keeping the clamping element 20 exposed out of the communication hole 11, and the elastic force is used for enabling the clamping element 20 to move towards the direction exposed out of the communication hole 11.

Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting seat 10 is provided with a yielding groove 13 for accommodating the reset element 50, and the position of the yielding groove 13 corresponds to the position of the clamping element 20. The clamping piece 20 is provided with the connecting block near the one end of first section 41, and the connecting block is fixed in clamping piece 20, and the connecting block protrusion gets into in the groove 13 of stepping down. The return member 50 is implemented as a spring. One end of the reset member 50 is fixed to the inner wall of the relief groove 13, and the opposite other end abuts against one end of the connecting block away from the communication hole 11.

It can be understood that, in a natural state, due to the pretightening force provided by the reset element 50, one side of the connecting block away from the reset element 50 abuts against the inner wall of the yielding groove 13, and at this time, the clamping element 20 is exposed out of the communication hole 11, and the clamping element 20 can maintain the clamping state.

When the driving member 30 is subjected to an external force (i.e. when a user applies a force to the driving member 30), the driving member 30 moves in the first direction, the second section 42 deforms, and the locking member 20 moves in a direction of retracting into the communication hole 11, so that the connecting block moves in a direction away from the communication hole 11, the reset member 50 is gradually compressed by the connecting block and the inner wall of the yielding groove 13, and the locking member 20 can release the locking state.

After the external force is eliminated or the external force is smaller than the elastic force (namely, when the user cancels the force applied to the driving piece 30), the driving piece 30 moves along the second direction, the reset piece 50 is gradually stretched, the connecting block moves towards the direction close to the communication hole 11, meanwhile, the clamping piece 20 moves towards the direction exposed out of the communication hole 11, the second section 42 is driven to recover deformation, and the clamping piece 20 can recover the clamping state.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the end of the clamping member 20 that can be exposed to the communication hole 11 is a clamping end, and a guiding surface 21 is disposed on a side of the clamping end away from the driving member 30, where an angle is formed between an extending direction of the guiding surface 21 and a moving direction of the clamping member 20, and the angle may specifically be 45 °.

It will be appreciated that the mounting base 10 is fixed to the end of the first object 200 in use, and when the first object 200 enters the accommodating groove 301, the mounting base 10 also enters the accommodating groove 301, so that the clamping member 20 can be clamped with the internal structure of the accommodating groove 301.

Specifically, in the process of pushing the first object 200 to make the clamping member 20 gradually enter the accommodating groove 301, the guiding surface 21 of the clamping member 20 contacts the notch of the accommodating groove 301 before the clamping member 20 contacts the notch of the accommodating groove 301, and as the mounting seat 10 continues to enter the accommodating groove 301, the clamping member 20 moves under the action of the guiding surface 21 and gradually retracts into the communication hole 11, and at this time, the reset member 50 gradually compresses. When the clamping member 20 moves to a position where the clamping engagement can be formed, the reset member 50 is stretched and pushes the clamping member 20 to be exposed out of the communication hole 11, so that the clamping member 20 automatically completes the clamping engagement.

It will be appreciated that when the first object 200 is fixed to the second object 300, if the first object 200 needs to be removed, the driving member 30 is forced to retract the engaging member 20 into the communication hole 11, and the first object 200 is switched to the unlocked state, and then the first object 200 is taken out of the accommodating groove 301.

If the first object 200 needs to be fixed to the second object 300, the first object 200 can be directly pushed into the accommodating groove 301, and the clamping piece 20 is retracted and extended in the process of entering the accommodating groove 301 by using the guiding surface 21 of the clamping piece 20, so that the clamping fit is automatically completed after the first object 200 is installed in place, and convenience and rapidness are achieved.

In one implementation of the present embodiment, the first direction is parallel to the slip direction of the first object 200. It is understood that the sliding direction of the first object 200 is the direction in which the first object 200 slides in the accommodating groove 301. It will be appreciated that since the first direction and the second direction are mutually parallel and opposite directions, the second direction is also parallel to the slip direction of the first object 200.

Specifically, the first direction coincides with the sliding direction when the first object 200 advances into the accommodating groove 301, that is, when the driving member 30 moves in a direction approaching the second object 300, the locking state of the locking member 20 is released. It will be appreciated that when the user presses the driver 30, the driver 30 moves in a first direction.

Further, the locking assembly 100 is also provided with an ejector 60, and the ejector 60 is used for ejecting the first object 200 from the accommodating groove 301 when the clamping member 20 is unlocked. The ejector 60 has elasticity, the ejector 60 is fixedly disposed on the second object 300, specifically disposed on an inner wall of the accommodating groove 301 away from the notch, and the ejector 60 can abut against the first object 200. The ejector 60 may be a spring.

When the first object 200 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 301, the first object 200 and the second object 300 compress the ejector 60, and if the clamping piece 20 is exposed out of the communication hole 11, the first object 200 is in a locking state, the ejector 60 will remain compressed and provide a certain pretightening force to make the fit between the clamping piece 20 and the second object 300 stronger; if the locking member 20 is retracted into the communication hole 11 and the first object 200 is in the unlocked state, the ejector 60 will be extended and push the first object 200 to slide away from the second object 300, so that the first object 200 is ejected from the accommodating groove 301.

It will be appreciated that when the user needs to remove the first object 200, the driving member 30 may be pressed to release the clamping connection of the clamping member 20, and meanwhile, the elastic member ejects the first object 200, so that the mounting seat 10 moves in a direction away from the accommodating groove 301, and the clamping member 20 and the clamping hole 302 are dislocated, so that the clamping member 20 does not immediately recover the clamped state even if the user does not press the driving member 30 any more, and therefore, the user can directly withdraw the first object 200 from the accommodating groove 301.

It can be appreciated that the user can switch the locking assembly 100 to the unlocked state only by pressing the driving member 30, and since the elastic member can automatically eject the first object 200, the user can conveniently withdraw the first object 200, which is more convenient, quick and labor-saving.

In one implementation of the present embodiment, the side of the mount 10 remote from the mounting area is provided with a panel 14, the cross-sectional area of the panel 14 being generally larger than the cross-sectional area of the mount 10. When the locking assembly 100 is fixed in the accommodating groove 301, the panel 14 can shield the notch of the accommodating groove 301, so that the foreign matters are reduced from entering the accommodating groove 301 and play a decorative role. Also, when the locking assembly 100 is ejected or withdrawn from the receiving groove 301, the panel 14 may facilitate the user's application of force to withdraw the first object 200.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of the locking assembly 100 according to the present disclosure when sliding. Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the second embodiment of the locking assembly 100 differs from the first embodiment in that: the second direction coincides with the sliding direction in which the first object 200 slides out of the accommodating groove 301, i.e., when the driving member 30 moves in a direction away from the second object 300, the locking state of the locking member 20 is released.

It will be appreciated that when the user pulls on the driver 30, the driver 30 moves in the second direction. Specifically, the force-bearing end of the driving member 30 may further be provided with a force-bearing member 31, such as a pull ring, so as to facilitate the user to pull the driving member 30.

It will be appreciated that when a user desires to remove the first object 200, the driver 30 may be pulled such that the driver 30 moves away from the second object 300, causing the latch 20 to disengage. Meanwhile, in the case that the driving member 30 is fixed to the linkage member 40, the driving member 30 pulls the linkage member 40 and the mounting seat 10 to move away from the second object 300, so that the first object 200 can be pulled out of the accommodating groove 301 in a homeopathic manner, which is more convenient and quicker.
