The restoring device 13 may include a shaft wheel 130 and a winder 131 being configured in the shaft wheel 130. The cable 14 is wound around the shaft wheel 130.
In one example, the restoring device 13 may include the shaft wheel 130 and the winder 131 being configured in the shaft wheel 130. The cable 14 is wound around the shaft wheel 130. When the cable 14 is unfolded relative to the shift wheel 130, the winder 131 is configured to generate a restoring force to drive the restoring device 13 to automatically restore the cable 14. The buckle belt 2 is configured to hang the hanging objects, such as keys and badges. When the buckle belt 2 is configured to hang an object, weights of the objects may pull the cable 14 through the accommodating cavity 12 and the receiving groove 15 in sequence. That is, the buckle belt 2 is suspended relative to the main body 1. When there is no any hanging object on being hang on the buckle belt 2, the restoring device 13 is configured to automatically restore the cable 14. The buckle belt 2 may approach to the main body 1 until a portion of the insertion end 200 automatically insert into the receiving groove 15. Users may press the insertion end 200 to completely insert the insertion end 200 into the receiving groove 15 by hands. The insertion end 200 and the receiving groove 15 are engaged to fix the buckle belt 2 onto the main body 1. As such, even when a heavy hanging object, such as a keychain, is hang on the buckle belt 2, the buckle belt assembly of the present disclosure may be able to withstand.
Positioning of the main body 1 and the buckle belt 2 of the conventional buckle belt assembly may be inaccurate when the cable 14 is restored, and the main body 1 may not be fixed to the buckle belt 2. The buckle belt assembly of the present disclosure is able to automatically position the buckle belt 2 and an outer shell of the buckle belt assembly when the cable 14 is restored via a configuration of the receiving groove 15 cooperating with the insertion end 200. When a load carried by the buckle belt assembly is required to be heavy, the insertion end 200 may be fixed in the receiving groove 15, and the buckle belt 2 may be fixed to the main body 1. Such that load-carrying capability of the buckle belt assembly of the present disclosure may be great.
In one example, when the first movable portion 201 is pressed to disengage the insertion portion 200 from the receiving groove 15, the cable 14 may be pulled out, and the cable 14 and the buckle belt 2 may be used. A cross section of the receiving groove 15 may be rectangular. The upper shell 10 may include a first holding wall 100, and the lower shell 11 may include a second holding wall 111. The first holding wall 100 perpendicularly abuts the second holding wall 111 to form the receiving groove 15.
The buckle belt 2 may further include a first body 20 and a second body 21 being sleeved on the first body 21. The insertion end 200 and the first movable portion 201 are configured on the first body 20. An arc-shaped gap 202 is configured between the first movable portion 201 and the first body 20.
In one example, the buckle belt 2 may be a plastic element. The first body 20 and the second body 21 may be integrally formed, so as to improve assembly efficiency of the buckle belt 2, and to facilitate an industrialized manufacturing process of the first body 20, the second body 21, and the buckle body 2, and to improve production efficiency. The first movable portion 201 may be flexibly moved relative to the first body 20 by a configuration of the arc-shaped gap 202.
The receiving groove 15 is recessed inwardly to form a first positioning slot 150. The first body 20 may further include a positioning block 203. When the insertion end 200 is completely inserted into the receiving groove 15, the positioning block 203 is engaged with the first positioning slot 150 to fix the buckle belt 2 and the main body 1.
The first movable portion 201 may be manually driven to disengage the positioning block 203 from the first positioning slot 150. The buckle belt 2 may be manually pulled to separate the buckle belt 2 from the main body 1. The restoring device 13 is configured to unfold the cable 14.
In one example, when the insertion end 200 is completely inserted into the receiving groove 15, the positioning block 203 may engage with the first positioning slot 150 to fix the buckle belt 2 and the main body 1. When the insertion end 200 is not completely inserted into the receiving groove 15, the positioning block 203 may not engage with the first positioning slot 150, and the buckle belt 2 and the main body 1 may not be fixed. The buckle belt 2 may be pulled out from the main body 1 without pressing the first movable portion 201. The positioning between the buckle belt 2 and the main body 1 may become accurate and fast by a configuration of the first positioning slot 150, the positioning block 203, and the receiving groove 15 being cooperating with the insertion end 200. As such, a fixing force between the buckle belt 2 and the main body 1 may be increased, and the load-carrying capability of the buckle belt assembly may be improved.
The second body 21 may include a hook 210 and a fixing block 211. The fixing block 211 is perpendicular to the hook 210. The first body 20 may further include a hooking hole 204. The hook 210 may be engaged with the hooking hole 204 to fix the first body 20 to the second body 21. The fixing block 211 is configured to increase the fixing force between the first body 20 and the second body 21.
In one example, the second body 21 may include two hooks 210. The first body 20 may also include two hooking holes 204 correspondingly. One hook 210 may be cooperative with one hooking hole 204. The first body 20 and the second body 21 may quickly be positioned, installed, and fixed via the hook 210. As such, operation process of the buckle belt assembly may be simplified.
The second body 21 may further include a supporting portion 212, a second movable portion 213, and a band 216 extending from a bottom of the supporting portion 212. One end of the second movable portion 213 is connected to the supporting portion 212, and the other end of the second movable portion 213 is movable relative to the supporting portion 212.
The second movable portion 213 may further include a pair of side walls 213a and a pair of fixing walls 213b. The band 216 may be a flexible and bendable plastic element. The band 216 is configured to hang the hanging objects. The band 216 is configured with a fixing hole 2160. The side walls 213a may be pressed to abut the fixing wall 213b to the fixing hole 2160 or to detach the fixing wall 213b from the fixing hole 2160, thereby opening or closing the band 216.
Each of the side walls 213a may further include a first gap 214 with respect to the supporting portion 212. Each of the fixing walls 213b may further include a second gap 215 with respect to the supporting portion 215. The first gap 214 is connected to the second gap 215.
In one example, the side walls 213a moves along with the fixing walls 213b. The side walls 213a and the fixing walls 213b are flexible. The pair of the fixing walls 213b may approach to each other when the side walls 213a are pressed. The pair of the fixing walls 213b may be separated from each other when the side walls 213a are released and are separated from each other. The first gap 214 may be rectangular, and the second gap 215 may be arc-shaped. The side walls 213a and the fixing walls 213b may have a moving space by a configuration of the first gap 214 and the second gap 215, which facilitates to mold.
In one example, a diameter of the fixing hole 2160 is just enough to allow one end of the fixing wall 213b to pass through when the fixing walls 213b approach to each other. When pressing force is removed, the fixing walls 213b may be expanded within the fixing hole 2160, and the fixing walls 213b may abut to the fixing hole 2160 to fix the band 216 to the second movable portion 213. Such that the hanging objects being hang onto the band 216 may be prevented from being lost during use. A pressing hook of the conventional buckle belt assembly may become unstable due to being worn out and the increasing number of use. The buckle belt assembly of the present disclosure may be stabilized by a cooperation of the fixing hole 2160 and the second movable portion 213. As such, abrasion may be avoided, life cycle may be extended, and the operation process of the buckle belt assembly may be simplified.
In one example, the band 216 has certain elasticity and toughness, and may generate a certain restoring force. When the side walls 213a are pressed, the fixing walls 213b may detach from the fixing hole 2160, such that the band 216 may be opened automatically. A surface of the band 216 is flat and has no any protrudes, which is facilitate to the small-sized hanging objects to pass through the band 216.
In one example, the buckle belt assembly may further include a first holding portion 3 and a second holding portion 4. The first holding portion 3 is sleeved on the main body 1. The second holding portion 4 is arc-shaped and protrudes from the first holding portion 3. The first holding portion 3 may include a pressing hook 30 being movable relative to the second holding portion 4. One end of the pressing hook 30 may abut to or detach from the second holding portion 4 when the pressing hook 30 is pressed.
In one example, the first holding portion 3 and the second holding portion 4 are configured to be easily carried. The first holding portion 3 is sleeved on the main body 1. The receiving groove 15 protrudes from the first holding portion 3. That is, the main body 1 is half-wrapped by the first holding portion 3. Referring to
