FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of the buckle assembly 100 at another view according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3 is a diagram of the buckle assembly 100 without illustrating a second buckle 20 according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 4 is a diagram of the buckle assembly 100 without illustrating a cover 24 according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 5 is a diagram of a first buckle 10 of the buckle assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 6 is an exploded diagram of the buckle assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. The buckle assembly 100 includes the first buckle 10, the second buckle 20, an operating portion 30, a locking component 40, and a resilient portion 50. The first buckle 10 includes an inserting end 11 whereon the engaging portion 13 is formed. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 can buckle with each other. An installation slot 21 is formed on the second buckle 20 for receiving the inserting end 11. The operating portion 30 is disposed on the second buckle 20. The locking component 40 is fixedly connected to the operating portion 30, and the locking component 40 is configured to lock with or release from the engaging portion 13. The resilient portion 50 is biased to separate the inserting end 11 from the installation slot 21, and the operating portion 30 can be operated to drive the locking component 40 to release from the engaging portion 13 by external force. The inserting end 11 can separate from the installation slot 21 by the resilient portion 50, so as to unlock the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20 can be engaged with each other by an insertion mechanism. The first buckle 10 can be a shoulder belt buckle or a male buckle, and the second buckle 20 can be a female buckle. The resilient portion 50 can be a spring. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The operating portion 30 can be operated by external force, so as to release the locking component 40 from the engaging portion 13, and then the resilient portion 50 provides a resilient force to push the inserting end 11, so as to disengage the first buckle 10 from the second buckle 20 for achieving an unlocking operation. Therefore, the present invention has advantages of simplified structure and easy operation.
(12) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an end of the operating portion 30 passes through the second buckle 20 to fixedly connect with the locking component 40 disposed in the installation slot 21. That is, the operating portion 30 and the locking component 40 can move synchronously and in a same direction. Specifically, the operating portion 30 includes a pressing part 31 and at least one extending part 33 connected to each other, a penetrating hole 23 is formed on the second buckle 20, and the extending part 33 passes through the penetrating hole 23 to connect with the locking component 40. In this embodiment, the operating portion 30 includes two extending parts 33, an end of each extending part 33 is connected to the pressing part 31, another end of each extending part 33 passes through the penetrating hole 23 to extend into the installation slot 21, and the locking component 40 is installed between the two extending parts 33. The pressing part 31 and the two extending parts 33 can be formed integrally, so as to extend service life of the operating portion 30. Furthermore, an indentation 25 is formed on the second buckle 20 for receiving the pressing part 31, so that the pressing part 31 can be rapidly installed and positioned by the indentation 25. Preferably, a recovering portion 60 is installed between the pressing part 31 and the indentation 25 for biasing the pressing part 31 to separate from the indentation 25. The recovering portion 60 can be a spring, but is not limited to it. For convenient installation of the recovering portion 60, a positioning notch 27 is formed in the indentation 25 for positioning the recovering portion 60. Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. FIG. 8 is a sectional diagram of the locking component 40 and the engaging portion 13 engaging with each other according to the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 9 is a sectional diagram of the locking component 40 and the engaging portion 13 releasing from each other according to the embodiment of the present application. A receiving portion 29 is formed on the second buckle 20, the inserting end 11 is located between the locking component 40 and the operating portion 30, and the operating portion 30 can be operated to drive the locking component 40 to the receiving portion 29 so as to release from the engaging portion 13.
(13) As shown in FIG. 5, a hook slot 111 is recessed inwardly on the inserting end 11 to form the engaging portion 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first buckle 10 further includes a left buckling component 15 and a right buckling component 17 connected to each other. The left buckling component 15 includes a first upper portion 151 and a first lower portion 153, the right buckling component 17 includes a second upper portion 171 and a second lower portion 173, the first upper portion 151 and the second upper portion 171 are arranged in a left and right direction, the first lower portion 153 and the second lower portion 173 are arranged in a forward and backward direction, and the first lower portion 153 and the second lower portion 173 form the inserting end 11 cooperatively. Furthermore, an end of the first lower portion 153 bends to form a first protruding portion 152, an end of the second lower portion 173 bends to form a second protruding portion 172, the second protruding portion 172 is located above the first protruding portion 152, and the first protruding portion 152 and the second protruding portion 172 form the engaging portion 13 cooperatively. The first protruding portion 152 includes a tongue part 154, and the second protruding portion 172 includes a sunken part 174 for engaging with the tongue part 154 so as to prevent false engagement.
(14) As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the second buckle 20 includes a buckling body 22 and the cover 24 engaged with the buckling body 22. Specifically, the buckling body 22 includes a latching part 221, and the cover 24 includes a blocking part 241 for engaging with the latching part 221, so as to connect the buckling body 22 and the cover 24 by cooperation of the latching part 221 and the blocking part 241.
(15) As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a fixing portion 70 is installed between a bottom of the inserting end 11 and the resilient portion 50, and the resilient portion 50 pushes the fixing portion 70 to move toward the inserting end 11, so as to push the inserting end 11 stably and smoothly.
(16) Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9. The operational principle of the buckling assembly 100 is introduced as follows. At first, a user can apply external force to the pressing part 31, so as to drive the extending parts 33 to move the locking component 40 toward the receiving portion 29, so that the engaging portion 13 can disengage from the locking component 40. Then, the resilient portion 50 can push the inserting end 11 to separate from the installation slot 21, so as to unlock the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20.
(17) In contrast to the prior art, the operating portion 30 of the buckling assembly 100 of the present application can be operated by external force, so as to release the locking component 40 from the engaging portion 13, and then the resilient portion 50 provides the resilient force to push the inserting end 11 to separate from the installation slot 21, so as to unlock the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 20. Therefore, the present invention has advantages of simplified structure and easy operation.
(18) Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
