DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present application provides a connecting buckle with a return device. To make the objectives, technical solutions and effect of the present application clearer and more definite, the present application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying figures and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described therein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not used for limit the present application.

[0032] The present application provides a connecting buckle with a return device, the structure of which is shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 10, including an upper cover 1.0 and a lower cover 2.0 disposed correspondingly, where U-shaped connecting grooves 1.1 are correspondingly formed in the head ends of the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0 respectively, two first riveting shafts 3.0 are disposed on two sides of the connecting grooves 1.1, a second riveting shaft 4.0 and buckle ring installing grooves 1.2 are disposed at the tail ends of the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0, a buckle ring fixing shaft 5.0 is disposed in the buckle ring installing grooves 1.2, a buckle ring 5.1 is disposed at the tail end of the buckle ring fixing shaft 5.0, a buckled cavity 6.0 is formed between the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0, a rotating shaft 6.1, a locking device 7.0 and a return device 8.0 are disposed in the buckled cavity 6.0, and the locking device 7.0 and the return device 8.0 are disposed correspondingly.

[0033] The locking device 7.0 includes an upper locking tongue 7.1 and a lower locking tongue 7.2 disposed correspondingly, where the upper locking tongue 7.1 is provided with an upper locking groove 7.11 with an opening on the right side, an upper rotating hole 7.12 corresponding to the rotating shaft 6.1 is formed in the tail end of the upper locking tongue 7.1, an upper shift lug 7.13 is protrusively disposed on the left side of the upper locking tongue 7.1, the lower locking tongue 7.2 is provided with a lower locking groove 7.21 with an opening on the left side, a lower rotating hole 7.22 corresponding to the rotating shaft 6.1 is formed in the tail end of the lower locking tongue 7.2, a lower shift lug 7.23 is protrusively disposed on the right side of the lower locking tongue 7.2, a limit stopper 6.2 for blocking the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 are disposed at the bottom of the buckled cavity 6.0, a locking spring abutting against the tail ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 is also disposed at the bottom of the buckled cavity, and a closed ring is formed between the head ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 as well as the connecting grooves 1.1 due to an elastic force of the locking spring.

[0034] The return device 8.0 includes an upper return tongue 8.1 and a lower return tongue 8.2 that are L-shaped and disposed correspondingly, where the head end of the upper return tongue 8.1 is hinged to the head end of the lower locking tongue 7.2, the head end of the lower return tongue 8.2 is hinged to the head end of the upper locking tongue 7.1, the tail ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are hinged to each other, and the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are located on the outer side of the connecting grooves 1.1 due to the elastic force of the locking spring.

[0035] When no external force is applied to the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23, the closed ring is formed between the head ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 as well as the connecting grooves 1.1 due to the elastic force of the locking spring, so that the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are located on the outer side of the connecting grooves 1.1. In this case, the connecting buckle is in a locked state. When acting forces as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 are applied to the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 at the same time, the upper locking tongue 7.1 has torque to rotate counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 6.1, and the lower locking tongue 7.2 has torque to rotate clockwise around the rotating shaft 6.1; since the head end of the upper return tongue 8.1 is hinged to the head end of the lower locking tongue 7.2, the head end of the lower return tongue 8.2 is hinged to the head end of the upper locking tongue 7.1, and the tail ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are hinged to each other, the head end of the upper return tongue 8.1 move to the lower left side, the head end of the lower return tongue 8.2 moves to the lower right side, the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 rotate in opposite directions, and the hinge ends of the upper return tongue and the lower return tongue move in a direction close to the connecting grooves 1.1 until the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 reach the position of the limit stopper 6.2; in this case, the head end of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the head end of the lower locking tongue 7.2 both leave the openings of the connecting grooves 1.1, a connecting ring of a pet collar can be put into the connecting grooves 1.1 along the openings of the connecting grooves 1.1, and the connecting ring of the pet collar applies pressure to the hinged ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2, so that a hand controlling the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 feels a relatively large counter-acting force, and by loosening the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23, the pressure on the hinged ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 make the connecting buckle be quickly returned to the locked state. When the connecting buckle and the pet collar are disconnected, the hinged ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 push the connecting ring of the pet collar to a position close to the openings of the connecting grooves 1.1, which is convenient to remove the connecting ring of the pet collar from the connecting grooves 1.1. The connecting buckle of such structure is convenient to apply forces to the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 for shifting. The return device 8.0 enables the connecting buckle to be quickly locked after the connecting ring of the pet collar reaches the interior of the connecting grooves 1.1, and both locking and unlocking are convenient and quick.

[0036] When unlocking, if an acting force is applied to the upper shift lug 7.13 alone, since the head end of the upper locking tongue 7.1 is hinged to the head end of the lower return tongue 8.2, the tail ends of the lower return tongue 8.2 and the upper return tongue 8.1 are hinged to each other, and the head end of the upper return tongue 8.1 is hinged to the head end of the lower locking tongue 7.2, the opening of the connecting grooves 1.1 is closed by the head end of the lower locking tongue 7.2 due to the elastic force of the locking spring, so that the front end of the upper locking tongue 7.1 trends to move to the right, and thus the state of closing the opening of the connecting grooves 1.1 is maintained. In this way, the situation that the service life is relatively short due to uneven stress of the locking spring is avoided, and the connecting buckle has better safety.

[0037] Specifically, in a first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, two corresponding spring fixing grooves 6.3 are formed in the bottom of the buckled cavity 6.0, the locking spring is compression springs 6.4 disposed in the two spring fixing grooves 6.3 respectively, and spring installing shafts are protrusively disposed at the tail ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2, to prevent the compression springs 6.4 from being displaced or even disengaged. The two compression springs 6.4 can avoid the situation of uneven stress of the locking spring, so that the service life of the whole connecting buckle is relatively long.

[0038] Specifically, in a second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 10, the locking spring is a twins torsional spring 6.5, torsional spring installing holes 7.14 are formed in the tails ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2, and torsional spring installing shafts 6.51 corresponding to the torsional spring installing holes 7.14 are disposed at two ends of the twins torsional spring 6.5. Two ends of the twins torsional spring 6.5 have opposite acting forces, so that the locking device 7.0 and the return device 8.0 operate more stably, and the while connecting buckle has relatively good opening and closing stability.

[0039] Specifically, the two first riveting shafts 3.0 abut against the head ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 respectively, so that the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 move stably along preset paths, and thus the opening and closing stability of the connecting buckle is improved.

[0040] Specifically, when the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 are in contact with the limit stopper 6.2, the hinged ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are overlapped and flush with each other.

[0041] When the connecting buckle is in an unlocked state, the connecting ring of the pet collar is located at the tail ends of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2. Even the connecting buckle trends to be locked due to the counter-acting force of the locking spring, the connecting ring of the pet collar will not get stuck between the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2, which causes the situation that the pet collar is difficult to unlock, ensuring effective unlocking of the connecting buckle.

[0042] Specifically, two corresponding positioning columns 1.3 are protrusively disposed at the tail end of the upper cover 1.0, and two positioning grooves 2.1 corresponding to the positioning columns 1.3 are disposed at the tail end of the lower cover 2.0. When assembling the connecting buckle, the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0 can be positioned by means of the positioning columns 1.3 and the positioning grooves 2.1, which is convenient for a subsequent riveting process, avoids an assembly position deviation and ensures the assembly quality of the connecting buckle. A guiding groove 1.31 of which the width is gradually reduced is formed in the middle of each positioning column 1.3, and a guiding column 2.11 corresponding to the guiding groove 1.31 is disposed in the middle of each positioning groove 2.1 The guiding grooves 1.31 and the guiding columns 2.11 are convenient for assembly and positioning. Each guiding groove 1.31 separates the corresponding positioning column 1.3 into two parts, so that the positioning column 1.3 has the effect of tightening in the guide groove 1.31, which prevents relative displacement of the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0 during riveting, and further improves the assembly quality of the connecting buckle.

[0043] Specifically, the upper cover 1.0 is provided with an upper limit block 1.4 corresponding to the locking device 7.0, the lower cover 2.0 is provided with a lower limit block 2.2 corresponding to the locking device 7.0, the upper limit block 1.4 and the lower limit block 2.2 are disposed correspondingly, the upper limit block 1.4 is provided with a positioning hole 1.41, and the lower limit block 2.2 is provided with a protruded positioning shaft 2.21 corresponding to the positioning hole 1.41, to facilitate accurate positioning when assembling the upper cover 1.0 and the lower cover 2.0. The upper limit block 1.4 and the lower limit block 2.2 limit the positions of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 in the locked state, to avoid shaking of components of the connecting buckle, and improve the stability of the connecting buckle.

[0044] When the connecting buckle is in the locked state, the head ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the upper return tongue 8.1 are connected, the head ends of the lower locking tongue 7.2 and the lower return tongue 8.2 are connected, the two first riveting shafts are connected to recessed portions at the head ends of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 respectively, to limit the positions of the upper locking tongue 7.1 and the lower locking tongue 7.2 in the locked state, which also improves the stability of the connecting buckle.

[0045] Specifically, when the upper shift lug 7.13 and the lower shift lug 7.23 are in contact with the limit stopper 6.2, the tail end of the upper limit block 1.4 abuts against the upper return tongue 8.1, and the tail end of the lower limit block 2.2 abuts against the lower return tongue 8.2. Therefore, the positions of the upper return tongue 8.1 and the lower return tongue 8.2 in the unlocked state are further limited, which improves the stability of the connecting buckle.

[0046] Specifically, the buckle ring installing groove 1.2 is provided with a riveting hole 1.21 matched with the second riveting shaft 4.0, and an anti-dropping head 5.2 is disposed at the tail end of the buckle ring fixing shaft 5.0. The anti-dropping head 5.2 is fixed to the buckle ring fixing shaft 5.0. After the second riveting shaft 4.0 is removed, the buckle ring fixing shaft 5.0 can be taken out, and the buckle ring 5.1 can be replaced as required, which increases the universality of the connecting buckle.

[0047] To sum up, the present application includes the upper cover and the lower cover disposed correspondingly, where the buckled cavity is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover, the rotating shaft, the locking device and the return device are disposed in the buckled cavity, the locking device includes the upper locking tongue and the lower locking tongue disposed correspondingly, the upper rotating hole corresponding to the rotating shaft is formed in the tail end of the upper locking tongue, the lower rotating hole corresponding to the rotating shaft is formed in the tail end of the lower locking tongue, the locking spring is disposed at the bottom of the buckled cavity, the return device includes the upper return tongue and the lower return tongue that are L-shaped and disposed correspondingly, the head end of the upper return tongue is hinged to the head end of the lower locking tongue, the head end of the lower return tongue is hinged to the head end of the upper locking tongue, and the tail ends of the upper return tongue and the lower return tongue are hinged to each other. The connecting buckle with the return device has the advantages of convenience in locking and unlocking, relatively good safety and stability, and good versatility.

[0048] It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make modifications or variations in light of the above description, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of the appended claims of the present application.
