In the following embodiments, an X direction, a Y direction and a Z direction correspond to three three-dimensional directions of the stacking system 100. But the X direction, Y direction and Z direction in the present disclosure are not limited by performances in the embodiments.
Referring to
The present disclosure provides the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40, the first stacking device 10 is effectively connected to the second stacking device 20 by cooperation between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40, thereby improving stability of the stacking system 100 when the stacking system 100 is stacked, which may fully utilize a storage space and ensure stability of transporting and safety after the stacking system 100 being stacked.
In an embodiment, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are at a locked position when being in the locked state and at a released position when being in the unlocked state. The first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are positioned at the released position and/or the locked position via the magnetic force. The first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are locked at the released position through the magnetic force, such that at least part of the first stacking device 10 may be released and separated from the second stacking device 20. After the first stacking device 10 being separated from the second stacking device 20, and when an effect of magnetic force between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 is reduced or disappeared, at least one of the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 may be reset at the locked position. When the first stacking device 10 is stacked with the second stacking device 20 through gravity of the first stacking device 10 or an external force, the first fitting structure 30 is automatically locked with the second fitting structure 40. Therefore, overall cooperation between the first stacking device 10 and the second stacking device 20 is simpler, thereby greatly improving an operation efficiency.
The number of the first stacking device 10 can be one or more, and the number of the second stacking device 20 can be one or more, which can be set as required. For example, it takes that the first stacking device 10 is located on bottom and the second stacking device 20 is located on top as an example to illustrate. The first stacking device 10 and the second stacking device 20 can be both configured as rectangular-case-shaped or box-shaped structures with the same size and structure as shown in
In order to improve reliably of stacked connection between the first stacking device 10 and the second stacking device 20, in an embodiment, as shown in
Cooperation between the third fitting structure 50 and the fourth fitting structure 60 is combined with cooperation between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40, which may ensure two opposite sides of the first stacking device 10 can be connected to two opposite sides of the second stacking device 20, respectively, thereby restricting a movement of the first stacking device 10 and the second stacking device 20 at least along the Z direction.
Referring to
Alternatively, the third fitting structure 50 may be different from the fourth fitting structure 60. For example, referring to
In order to restrict movement of the first stacking device 10 relative to the second stacking device 20 along the X direction and the Y direction, in an embodiment, referring to
In the present disclosure, the limiting protrusion 22 is disposed on the second stacking device 20. The limiting groove 101 is disposed on the first stacking device 10.
The present disclosure takes that the third fitting structure 50 is the same as the first fitting structure 30 and the fourth fitting structure 60 is the same as the second fitting structure 40 as an example to illustrate. In order to realize a stacking effect of the stacking system 100, the second fitting structure 40 and the fourth fitting structure 60 are disposed on a bottom of the second stacking device 20, and the first fitting structure 30 and the third fitting structure 50 are disposed on a top of the second stacking device 20.
In an embodiment, the first fitting structure 30 includes a first fitting component 31, the second fitting structure 40 includes a second fitting component 41, and the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion. Therefore, the first fitting structure 30 can be locked with or released from the second fitting structure 40 by different magnetic-fitting manners.
Furthermore, in an embodiment, one of the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 is provided with a magnet, and the other of the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 is provided with a ferromagnet, i.e., one of the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is configured as the magnet, and the other of the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is configured as the ferromagnet. Therefore, the first fitting component 31 can fit with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction.
The magnet is defined as an objection that can generate magnetic field. The ferromagnet is defined as an objection having ferromagnetism, which can attract by the magnetic field. The ferromagnet can be generally made of iron, cobalt, nickel, alloy and so on. Alternatively, the ferromagnet can be made of a polymer composite material including iron, cobalt, nickel, alloy and so on, such as a iron plastic component and so on.
In another embodiments, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be both provided with a magnet, i.e., the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 are all configured as the magnet body. Therefore, the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion.
In other embodiments, the first fitting structure 30 and/or the second fitting structure 40 can be both provided with an electromagnet, i.e., the first fitting component 31 and/or the second fitting component 41 are configured as the electromagnet, and the first fitting component 31 and/or the second fitting component 41 generates magnetism by energizing, such that the first fitting component 31 can fit with the second fitting component 41 more flexibly. The first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 are both configured as the electromagnet that is taken as an example to illustrate herein. Correspondingly, the stacking system 100 is provided with a correspondingly electrical component 70.
For example, the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 can generate magnetic attraction by applying an electric current, and the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can directly attract with each other by a strong magnetic effect between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41, thereby locking the first fitting structure 30 with the second fitting structure 40. When the first fitting structure 30 is required to be released from the second fitting structure 40, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is disappeared by cutting off power, thereby releasing the first fitting structure 30 from the second fitting structure 40.
In an embodiment, the stacking system 100 further includes a controlling module 71, the controlling module 71 is signal-connected to the first fitting component 31, which is configured for controlling a magnetic state and a non-magnetic state of the first fitting component 31. Alternatively, the controlling module 71 is signal-connected to the second fitting component 41, which is configured for controlling a magnetic state and a non magnetic state of the second fitting component 41.
Therefore, it is conducive to controlling magnetism of the first fitting component 31 and/or the second fitting component 41.
In the present disclosure, the controlling module 71 includes a controlling switch 711. Alternatively, the controlling module 71 may include an operation screen 712. Therefore, it is conducive to manual operation, thereby significantly improving convenience of controlling the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 32. The controlling switch 711 and the operation screen 712 can be reasonably arranged according to a space requirement.

In an embodiment, referring to
For example, the display module 74 can be configured as a pilot lamp. For example, when the stacking system 100 is in the locked state, the pilot lamp emits a red light, and when the stacking system 100 is in the unlocked state, the pilot lamp emits a green light. Alternatively, a light of the pilot lamp can be configured as other colors, as long as the light of the pilot lamp can play a same role of indication.
In the present disclosure, a first embodiment of cooperation between the first fitting structure 30 with the second fitting structure 40 will be introduced hereinafter.

In order to further improve the convenience of the stacking system 100, in an embodiment, referring to
Furthermore, in an embodiment, referring to
The first snapping portion 322 can be configured as a snapping plate, the second snapping portion 42 can be correspondingly provided with a snapping groove. The snapping plate can correspond to the snapping groove one by one. Alternatively, one snapping groove can be snapped with a plurality of snapping plates. The second snapping portion can be recessed to define the snapping groove herein. Alternatively, the second snapping portion 42 can be configured as a hook and so on, and the snapping groove is defined by a space where the hook bends.
A position and a snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 can be reasonably provided according to a movement direction of the first movable component 32, which is described in detail as following. A snapping direction between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be provided to be opposite to a snapping direction between the third fitting structure 50 and the fourth fitting structure 60, which is conducive to avoiding failing to snap the third fitting structure 50 with the fourth fitting structure 60.
Furthermore, in an embodiment, referring to
The second limiting portion 1021 can be configured as a protrusion structure protruding from a sidewall of the moving groove 102. The first limiting portion 326 can be configured as an elastic reverse clamping structure, facilitating mounting the first limiting portion 32.
The first movable component 32 can be conducive to automatically moving by the gravity of the second stacking device 20 when the first stacking device 10 is stacked with the second stacking device 20. In an embodiment, referring to
Furthermore, in an embodiment, referring to
In order to improve reliably of snapping the first snapping portion 322 with the second snapping portion 42, in an embodiment, the number of the first snapping portion 322 is two, and two first snapping portions are separated from each other. Alternatively, the number of the first snapping portion can be one or more, which can be set as required.
In an embodiment, referring to
The first actuation portion 323 can be provided as any one of a protrusion, a groove or a knurling.
Furthermore, in an embodiment, two or three of the seat 321, the first snapping portion 322 and the first actuation portion 323 can be configured as an integrated structure, facilitating processing and improving strength of the first movable component 32.
Referring to
Furthermore, referring to
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state via magnetic attraction, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be positioned by the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction in the locked state. The first elastic component 33 deforms and remains deformation. The first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting structure 30 is required to be released from the second fitting component 41, the first movable component 32 can be moved by the external force, such that the first fitting component 31 can be misaligned with the second fitting component 41. The first elastic component 33 can enable the first movable component 32 to automatically move, which can save more time and labor. Alternatively, when the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 are provided with an electromagnet, a magnetic force of the first fitting component 31 or the second fitting component 41 can disappear, such that the first movable component 32 can move to automatically release the first fitting structure 30 from the second fitting structure 40.
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the unlocked state via magnetic attraction, the first fitting component 31 is misaligned with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state. A magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is not sufficient. Therefore, the first elastic component 33 can apply a force to the first movable component 32 to enable the first snapping portion 322 to insert into the second snapping portion 42, thereby snapping the first snapping portion 322 with the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting component 31 is required to be released from the second fitting component 41, the first movable component 32 can be suffered from the external force to move to a position, such that the first fitting component 31 can fit with the second fitting component at a corresponding position via magnetic attraction. The first elastic component 33 deforms and remains deformation via magnetic attraction. The first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first elastic component 33 to move towards the second snapping portion 42. The first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be positioned by the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction, preventing the first movable component 32 from moving and resetting by the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, such that the first stacking device 10 and the second stacking device 20 are in the unlocked state. Therefore, in the unlocked state, the first movable component 32 is not required to be controlled, and the second stacking device 20 can be separated from the first stacking device 10 by directly taking the second stacking device 20, an operation thereof is easy. After detaching the second stacking device 20 from the first stacking device 10, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 disappears due to a distance between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 being so far, and the first movable component 32 can be automatically reset via the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, the overall operation is easier.
The first movable component 32 can slide towards or away from a center of the first stacking device 10 along the Y direction, thereby releasing the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42.
In order to facilitate describing, in the present disclosure, the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state via magnetic attraction that is taken an example to illustrate.
When the first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the center of the first stacking device 10 by the external force, thereby releasing a snap between the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 and forming the unlocked state, i.e., when the first movable component 32 slides outwards when being pulled by the external force, a snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 is required to be configured as a direction along the Y direction towards the center of the first stacking device 10. Based on this, referring to
In the present embodiment, the first snapping portion 322 is disposed on a side of the first fitting component 31 away from the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from a side of the seat 321 away from the center of the first stacking device 10 to a direction towards the center of the first stacking device 10. Since the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 are in the unlocked state, the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction, the first elastic component 33 is in a compressed state, and the first elastic component 33 remains in the compressed state due to magnetic attraction.
Similarly, in another embodiment, when the first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 to move towards the center of the first stacking device 10 by the external force, thereby releasing the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42 and forming the unlocked state, i.e., when the first movable component 32 slides inwards when being pulled inwards by the external force, the snapping direction between the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 is required to be configured as a direction along the Y direction and away from the center of the first stacking device 10. Based on this, referring to
The first snapping portion 322 is disposed on the side of the first fitting component 31 away from the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from the side of the seat 321 away from the center of the first stacking device 10 to a direction away from the center of the first stacking device 10. Since the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component are in the unlocked state, the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction, the first elastic component 33 is in a stretching state, the first elastic component 33 remains in the stretching state due to magnetic attraction. The first fitting structure 30 is released from the second fitting structure 40 by pulling the first movable component 32 that is taken to illustrate herein.
In an embodiment, referring to
In another embodiment, referring to
A movement manner of the locating block 324 moving in the assembly groove 3201 can be shown as
Furthermore, referring to
In an embodiment, referring to
This is, in the present embodiment, when the first fitting structure 30 is released from the second fitting structure 40, the first fitting component 31 is driven to rotate by the gear in a transmission manner, such that magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is lower, facilitating releasing the first fitting structure 30 from the second fitting structure 40.
Moreover, when the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are in the locked state, the first elastic component 33 deforms, such that the first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the second snapping portion 42. Therefore, when the magnetic force between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is less than the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, the seat 321 can automatically eject, thereby releasing the first fitting component 31 from the second fitting component 41. Therefore, the first fitting structure 30 is released from the second fitting structure 40. Alternatively, the first elastic component 33 is not required to be provided, the first fitting component 31 can be released from the second fitting component 41 by manually pulling. In addition, as required, the second fitting structure 40 can drive the second fitting component 41 to rotate by the gear in the transmission manner that is the similar as the first fitting structure 30.
In the present disclosure, a second embodiment of cooperation between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 is introduced hereinafter.
The structure and the concept of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, similarities thereof will not be repeated, and the difference is in that: in the second embodiment, referring to
Furthermore, the first elastic component 33 is configured as a torsional spring. The first elastic component 33 is sleeved on a periphery of the first rotating shaft 325, and abuts against the first movable component 32 and the first stacking device 10, thereby applying a force to the first movable component 32. Therefore, the first movable component 32 may apply a force to the torsional spring when the first movable component 32 rotates by the external force, such that the torsional spring suffers from a force and deforms. When the first movable component 32 rotates to a certain position, the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 fit with each other and are positioned via magnetic attraction. After the second stacking device 20 detaching from the first stacking device 10, the magnetic force remaining the torsional spring to deform disappears, such that the torsional spring can drive the first movable component 32 to automatically reset.
Similarly, in the present embodiment, the first movable component 32 has two rotating directions, i.e., the first movable component 32 can rotate towards or away from the center of the first stacking device 10.
When the first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 towards the center of the first stacking device 10 by the external force, the first snapping portion 322 is released from the second snapping portion 42, thereby forming the unlocked state, i.e., when the first movable component 32 is rotated upwards by the external force, the snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 are required to configured as a direction roughly along the Y direction and away from the center of the first stacking device 10. Based on this, referring to
In the present embodiment, the first snapping portion 322 is disposed on a side of the first fitting component 31 away from the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from a side of the seat 321 away from the center of the first stacking device 10 to a direction away from the center of the first stacking device 10.
Similarly, in another embodiment, when the first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the center of the first stacking device 10 by the external force to release the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42 forming the unlocked state, i.e., when the first movable component 32 is rotated downwards, the snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 is required to be configured as a direction substantially along the Y direction and towards the center of the first stacking device 10. Based on this, referring to
In the present disclosure, the first snapping portion 322 is disposed on a side of the first fitting component 31 towards the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from a side of the seat 321 to a direction towards the center of the first stacking device 10 to the center of the first stacking device 10.
In the present disclosure, since the first elastic component 33 is configured as the torsional spring, a structure and mounting direction of the torsional spring are adjusted, such that the first elastic component 33 is not restricted by the magnetic force after the first fitting component 31 being separated from the second fitting component 41. Therefore, the first movable component 32 is driven to move and reset.
In the present disclosure, a third embodiment of cooperation between the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 is introduced hereinafter.
In the present embodiment, the structure and the concept of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, similarities thereof will not be repeated, and the difference is in that: in the third embodiment, referring to
In the third embodiment, a magnetic fitting relationship between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is realized when being driven by the first movable component 32 and the second movable component 44, thereby realizing switching the stacking system 100 between the locked state or the unlocked state.
Furthermore, referring to
The sliding direction of the first movable component 32 is substantially parallel to the Y direction, and an angle is defined between the sliding direction of the second movable component 44 and the sliding direction of the first movable component 32, facilitating the second movable component 44 sliding.
The first fitting component 31 can fit with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion in the locked state. Alternatively, the first fitting component 31 can fit with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion in the unlocked state.
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction in the locked state, in the locked state, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are positioned by the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting structure 41 via magnetic attraction. The first movable component 32 can drive the first snapping portion 322 to move until the first snapping is snapped with the second snapping portion 42 via magnetic attraction. The first elastic component 33 deforms and remains deformation via magnetic attraction. The first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the second snapping portion 42. This is, the first movable component 32 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic force via magnetic attraction to snap the first snapping portion 322 with the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting component 31 is required to be released from the second fitting component 41, the second movable component 44 drives the second fitting component 41 to move until the second fitting component 41 is misaligned with the first fitting component 31 by the external force, the magnetic force between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is gradually reduced, and the first movable component 32 can move to reset by the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, thereby releasing the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42.
Since the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction, when the second fitting component 41 moves away from the first fitting component 31, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is lower, the first movable component 32 can automatically slide and be positioned by the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, thereby forming the unlocked state. Therefore, the first movable component 32 is operated without the external force, and a process of unlocking is simpler.
Furthermore, the first elastic component 33 deforms due to the magnetic force in the locked state, a deformation of the first elastic component 33 can be formed by compressing or stretching. The deformation is formed by compressing that is taken as an example. The first movable component 32 moves toward or away from the center of the first stacking device 10 by changing a connecting end between the first stacking device 10 and the first elastic component 33, respectively.
For example, when the first movable component 32 is required to move towards the first stacking device 10, one end of the first elastic component 33 away from the center of the first stacking device 10 is connected to the first stacking device 10, and the other end of the first elastic component 33 is connected to the first movable component 32. Correspondingly, the snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 is changed. One end of the first snapping portion 322 is connected to the seat 321, the other end of the first snapping portion 322 extends towards the center of the first stacking device 10, i.e., the first snapping portion 322 is snapped with the second snapping portion 42 along a direction away from the center direction of the first stacking device 10. Therefore, the first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 to slide by the external force, i.e., the first movable component 32 moves towards the center of the first stacking device 10, the second fitting component 41 can move away from the first fitting component 31 to release the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42, thereby forming the unlocked state.
The first snapping portion 322 can be disposed on a side of the first snapping portion 31 away from the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from a side of the seat 321 away form the center of the first stacking device 10 to a direction away from the center of the first stacking device 10.
In addition, when the first movable component 32 is required to move away from the first stacking device 10, one end of the first elastic component 33 towards the center of the first stacking device 10 is connected to the first stacking device 10, and the other end of the first elastic component 33 is connected to the first movable component 32. Correspondingly, the snapping direction of the first snapping portion 322 and the second snapping portion 42 is changed. One end of the first snapping portion 322 is connected to the seat 321, the other end of the first snapping portion 322 extends towards the center of the first stacking device 10, i.e., the first snapping portion 322 is snapped with the second snapping portion 42 along a direction towards the center direction of the first stacking device 10. The first movable component 32 drives the first snapping portion 322 to slide by the external force, i.e., the first movable component 32 moves away from the center of the first stacking device 10, the second fitting component 41 can move away from the first fitting component 31 to release the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42, thereby defining the unlocked state.
The first snapping portion 322 can be disposed on a side of the first snapping portion 31 away from the center of the first stacking device 10, and the first snapping portion 322 extends from a side of the seat 321 away form the center of the first stacking device 10 to a direction towards the center of the first stacking device 10.
When the first elastic component 33 is stretched and deforms in the locked state, it is only required to change the end of the first stacking device 10 connecting to the first elastic component 33 and the end of the first movable component 32 connecting to the first elastic component 33, which is not described in detail herein.
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction in the unlocked state, the first fitting component 31 is misaligned with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is not sufficient, such that the first elastic component 33 can apply a force to the first movable component 32 to insert the first snapping portion 322 into the second snapping portion 42, realizing snapping the first snapping portion 322 with the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting component 31 is required to be released from the second movable component 41, the second movable component 44 drives the second snapping portion 41 to move towards the first fitting component 31 by the external force, magnetic attraction between the first movable component 32 and the second movable component 44 gradually increases, and the magnetic force overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic component 33 to drive the first movable component 32 to move. Therefore, the first snapping portion 322 is released from the second snapping portion 42. In the unlocked state, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be positioned by the the first fitting component 31 and the second snapping portion 41 via magnetic attraction. The first elastic component 33 deforms and remains the deformation via magnetic attraction, and the first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move towards the second snapping portion 42. Since the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction, after the second fitting component 41 moving towards the first fitting component 31, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 increases, and the first movable component 32 can automatically slide and be positioned to form the unlocked state. Therefore, the first movable component 32 is operated without the external force, and an unlocking process is simpler.
Furthermore, when first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the unlocked state via magnetic attraction, a connecting manner of the first elastic component 33 and a position of the first snapping portion 322 are the similar as those when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state via magnetic attraction, it is only required to correspondingly change structures of the first snapping component 322 and the second snapping component 42, which is not described in detail herein.
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion in the locked state, in the locked state, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be positioned by the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion. The first movable component 32 can drive the first snapping portion 322 to move until the first snapping portion 322 is snapped with the second snapping portion 42 via magnetic repulsion, the first elastic component 33 deforms and remains deformation via magnetic repulsion, and the first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move away from the second snapping portion 42. This is, the first snapping portion 32 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic component 33 via magnetic repulsion to snap the first snapping portion 322 with the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting component 31 is required to be released from the second movable component 41, the second movable component 44 drives the second fitting component 41 to move until the second movable component 44 is misaligned with the first fitting component 31 by the external force, magnetic repulsion between the second fitting component 41 and the first fitting component 31 gradually decreases, and the first movable component 32 can move and be reset through the elastic force of the first elastic component 33, thereby releasing the first snapping portion 322 from the second snapping portion 42.
Since the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion, when the second fitting component 41 moves towards the first fitting component 31, magnetic repulsion is lower, and the first movable component 32 can automatically slide and be positioned to define the unlocked state, such that the first movable component 32 is operated without the external force, and the unlocking process is simpler.
Furthermore, when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state via magnetic repulsion, a connecting manner of the first elastic component 33 and a position of the first snapping portion 322 are the similar as those when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction in the locked state, it is only required to correspondingly change the structures of the first snapping component 322 and the second snapping component 42, which is not described in detail herein.
When the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 in the unlocked state via magnetic repulsion, the first fitting component 31 is misaligned with the second fitting component 41 in the locked state, magnetic attraction between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 is not sufficient, such that the first elastic component 33 can apply the force to the first movable component 32 to insert the first snapping portion 322 into the second snapping portion 42. Therefore, the first snapping portion 322 is snapped with the second snapping portion 42. When the first fitting component 31 is required to be released from the second movable component 41, the second movable component 44 drives the second snapping portion 41 to move towards the first fitting component 31 by the external force, magnetic attraction between the first movable component 32 and the second movable component 44 gradually increases, and the magnetic force overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic component 33 to move the first movable component 32. Therefore, the first snapping portion 322 is released from the second snapping portion 42. In the unlocked state, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 can be positioned by the first fitting component 31 and the second snapping portion 41 via magnetic repulsion. The first elastic component 33 deforms and remains the deformation via magnetic attraction, and the first elastic component 33 has a tendency of driving the first snapping portion 322 to move towards the second snapping portion 42.
Since the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion, after the second fitting component 41 moving towards the first fitting component 31, magnetic repulsion between the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 increases, the first movable component 32 can automatically slide and be positioned to define the unlocked state, the first movable component 32 is operated without the external force, and a process of unlocking is simpler.
Furthermore, when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion in the unlocked state, a connecting manner of the first elastic component 33 and a position of the first snapping portion 322 are the similar as those when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction in the locked state, it is only required to correspondingly change the structures of the first snapping component 322 and the second snapping component 42, which is not described in detail herein.
The above is a basic principle of the movement of the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 in the present embodiment, based on the this, the present embodiment further provides a plurality of embodiments which is based on the principle, which is described as following.
In an embodiment, referring to
For example, the assembling hole 21 and the second movable component 44 can both extend along the Z direction. The second movable component 44 is mounted in the assembling hole 21, thereby improving moving stability of the second movable component 44. The second fitting component 41 is connected to an end of the second movable component 44 along the Z direction and towards the first movable component 32.
Furthermore, a sliding direction of the second movable component 44 is perpendicular to a sliding direction of the first movable component 32. The second movable component 44 can slide when being pulled or pushed by the external force to switch the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 between the fitting state or the unfitting state. Therefore, the second movable component 44 can slide simpler.
The movement of the second movable component 44 can be linked with an action of transporting the second stacking device 20. When an operator holds the second stacking device 20 with their hands, they can be in contact with the second movable component 44. When the force is applied to extract the second stacking device 20 or a moment before extracting, referring to
Referring to
The locating assembly 45 includes a second elastic component 451 and a ball bearing 452. One end of the ball bearing 452 is connected to the second elastic component 451, and at least part of the other end of the ball bearing protrudes from the installing hole 4401 to fit with and is connected to the inner wall of the assembling hole 21. Therefore, a structure of the locating assembly is simple and easy to process.
Furthermore, referring to
For example, when the second movable component 44 slides upwards and is unlocked by the external force along the Z direction, i.e., when the second movable component 44 is pulled, the second movable component 44 can drive the locating assembly 45 to move from the first fitting position 211 to the second movable component 212. Referring to
When the second movable component 44 slides downwards and is released by the external force along the Z direction, i.e., when the second movable component 44 is pressed, the second movable component 44 can drive the locating assembly 45 to move from the second fitting position 212 to the first fitting position 211. Referring to
The first fitting position 211 and the second fitting position 212 can be configured as a hole or a groove fitting with the ball bearing 452.
Referring to
In another embodiment, referring to
Furthermore, the second movable component 44 can slide inwards or outwards along the X direction by the external force, such that the first fitting component 31 and the second fitting component 41 can be switched between the fitting state and the unfitting state.
For example, the second movable component 44 can slide inwards along the X direction by the external force, i.e., the second fitting component 41 moves away from the first fitting component 31 when being pulled by the external force, such that the second fitting component 41 and the first fitting component 31 are switched from the fitting state to the unfitting state. Therefore, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. Alternatively, the second movable component 44 can slide outwards along the X direction by the external force, i.e., the second fitting component 41 moves away from the first fitting component 31 when being pulled by the external force, such that the second fitting component 41 and the first fitting component 31 are switched from the fitting state to the unfitting state. Therefore, the first fitting structure 30 and the second fitting structure 40 are switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic attraction that is taken as an example herein. However, when the first fitting component 31 fits with the second fitting component 41 via magnetic repulsion, as long as manners of pulling and pressing are correspondingly changed.
