BUCKLE CONNECTOR AND CHEST EXPANDER USING THE SAME

Abstract

A buckle connector and a chest expander using the same. The buckle connector includes a male buckle (1) and a female buckle (2) fit with each other. The male buckle (1) includes a connecting portion (11). The connecting portion (11) includes a clamping member (13). The female buckle (2) is provided with an opening (21) for inserting the clamping member (13). The opening (21) extends towards the interior of the female buckle (2) and forms a groove (22) for accommodating the clamping member (13) along a circumferential direction. An elastic member is provided in the groove (22). A protruding portion (24) for preventing the clamping member (13) from passing through is provided on the elastic member. When a torque is applied to the male buckle (1) so that the clamping member (13) rotates in the groove (22) and passes through the protruding portion (24), the clamping member (13) squeezes the protruding portion (24) and causes the protruding portion (24) to retreat to allow the clamping member (13) to pass through. After the clamping member (13) passes through the protruding portion (24), the protruding portion (24) returns to a position before squeezed. In the buckle connector, the male buckle (1) is inserted into the female buckle (2) from the opening (21), and then the male buckle (1) is rotated, so that the clamping member (13) rotates in the groove (22), and thus the clamping member (22) is clamped by means of the horizontal groove in the female connector, achieving the effect of connecting the male buckle (1) and the female buckle (2) conveniently and easily.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only intended to describe the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0050] On the contrary, the present utility model covers any replacements, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions defined by the claims within the essence and scope of the present utility model. Further, in order to provide the public with a better understanding of the present utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following description of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can fully understand the present utility model without the description of these details.

[0051] It should be noted that when two components are clamped or fixedly connected together, the two components may be directly connected or there may be an intermediate component. On the contrary, when a component is referred to as directly on another component, there is no intermediate component. The terms inside, outside, up, down, and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of description.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field of the present utility model. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term or/and used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0053] As illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, specific embodiment of buckle connector according to the present utility model:

[0054] A buckle connector includes a male buckle 1 and a female buckle 2 rotatable relative to each other.

[0055] At least one clamping member 13 is provided on the male buckle 1.

[0056] The female buckle 2 is provided with an opening 21 for inserting the clamping member 13 and a groove 22 for allowing the clamping member 13 to rotate.

[0057] An elastic member is provided in the groove 22.

[0058] A protruding portion 21 for limiting the clamping member 13 is provided on the elastic member.

[0059] When a torque is applied to the male buckle 1 so that the clamping member 13 rotates in the groove 22 and passes through the protruding portion 24, the clamping member 13 squeezes the protruding portion 24 and causes it to retreat to allow the clamping member 13 to pass through.

[0060] After the clamping member 13 passes through the protruding portion 24 the protruding portion 24 returns to a position before squeezed to complete the operation of locating the male buckle 1 on the female buckle 2.

[0061] During use of the buckle connector provided in the present utility model, the male buckle 1 is inserted into the female buckle 2 from the opening 21, then the male buckle 1 or female buckle 2 is rotated to cause the clamping member 13 to rotate in the groove 22. Since the elastic member is provided in the groove 22 and the protruding portion 24 is provided on the elastic member, when the clamping member 13 rotates in the groove 22 and passes through the protruding portion 24, it squeezes the protruding portion 24 and then enters the groove 22, and then the protruding portion 24 returns to an original position. In a case that no torque is applied externally to the male buckle 1, the protruding portion 24 can prevent the clamping member 13 from rotating in the groove 22, so that the connection between the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 is stable and reliable. When the buckle connector needs to be unfastened, a torque is applied to the male buckle 1 to cause the clamping member 13 to squeeze the protruding portion 24, so that the male buckle 1 is separated from the female buckle 2. The solution is simple, practical and feasible, and facilitates the production, manufacturing, promotion and use.

[0062] Specific embodiment of clamping member 13 according to the present utility model:

[0063] The clamping member 13 is a columnar structure, a spherical structure, or a cubic structure subjected to chamfering treatment, extends outwards from a main body of the male buckle 1, and forms a protruding wing-shaped body.

[0064] The opening 21 is in a shape fit with the shape of the clamping member 13.

[0065] Specific embodiment of recessed structure additionally provided according to the present utility model:

[0066] The groove 22 is provided with a recessed portion at a position fit with the protruding portion 24.

[0067] The recessed portion is provided on a bottom wall or side wall of the groove 22, is provided with the elastic member inside, is capable of accommodating the protruding portion 24, and forms a retreating space for the protruding portion 24, so the structure is simple and practical, and the solution is feasible.

[0068] The most preferred embodiment of buckle connector according to the present utility model:

[0069] A buckle connector includes a male buckle 1 and a female buckle 2 fit with each other. The male buckle 1 includes a connecting portion 11.
