Abstract

A buckle structure is adapted to connect a strap. The buckle structure has a connecting port. The connecting port has a connecting member for connecting the strap. An extending portion extends from a side of the connecting port. The extending portion has an opening for the strap to pass through. The strap passes through the opening to enter the connecting port and connect the connecting member.

Claims (24)

1. A buckle structure adapted to connect a strap, the buckle structure having a connecting port, the connecting port having a connecting member for connecting the strap, an extending portion extending from a side of the connecting port, the extending portion having an opening for the strap to pass through, the strap passing through the opening to enter the connecting port and connect the connecting member, wherein a width of the opening gradually expands in a direction toward the connecting member.

2. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the buckle structure forms the extending portion along a longitudinal direction thereof.

3. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein after entering the connecting port and connecting the connecting member, the strap passes through the opening again.

4. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the strap is slidably connected to the connecting member and a length of the strap is adjustable.

5. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the strap is wound around the connecting member.

6. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is pivotally disposed on the buckle structure.

7. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the opening faces the connecting member.

8. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the buckle structure further comprises a partition separating the connecting port from the opening, the partition is arranged in a width direction of the buckle structure, and the connecting port and the opening are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the buckle structure in sequence.

9. The buckle structure of claim 8 , wherein the extending portion is located below the partition in a height direction of the buckle structure, and the extending portion and the partition form a stair structure.

10. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein the extending portion is a ring-shaped structure, the ring-shaped structure surrounds the opening, and a top of the extending portion has an inclined structure inclined toward a lower end of the connecting port.

11. The buckle structure of claim 10 , wherein an extension line of the inclined structure is apart from a lowermost end of the connecting member by a specific distance.

12. The buckle structure of claim 10 , wherein an extension line of the inclined structure is apart from a lowermost end of the connecting member by a distance at least larger than a thickness of the strap.

13. The buckle structure of claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the buckle structure is flat.

14. A buckle assembly comprising the buckle structure of claim 1 and an auxiliary buckle structure, the buckle structure and the auxiliary buckle structure capable of being superimposed and plugged with each other.

15. The buckle assembly of claim 14 , wherein the buckle structure has a lock portion, the auxiliary buckle structure has an auxiliary lock portion for locking with the lock portion, and the buckle structure and the auxiliary buckle structure are superimposed and plugged with each other, such that the lock portion and the auxiliary lock portion are locked.

16. The buckle assembly of claim 15 , wherein the buckle structure has a first attaching surface facing the auxiliary buckle structure, the auxiliary buckle structure has a second attaching surface facing the buckle structure, and the first attaching surface is attached to the second attaching surface after the buckle structure and the auxiliary buckle structure are plugged with each other.

17. The buckle assembly of claim 16 , wherein the lock portion is disposed on the first attaching surface, the auxiliary lock portion is disposed on the second attaching surface, and the opening and the connecting port are disposed on a side surface of the buckle structure opposite to the first attaching surface.

18. The buckle assembly of claim 15 , wherein one of the lock portion and the auxiliary lock portion is a recess structure, and the other one of the lock portion and the auxiliary portion is a protruding structure.

19. The buckle assembly of claim 15 , wherein the lock portion and the auxiliary lock portion are detachably connected to each other by mechanical engagement.

20. The buckle assembly of claim 15 , wherein the lock portion and the auxiliary lock portion are detachably connected to each other by magnetic attraction.

21. The buckle assembly of claim 15 , wherein the buckle assembly further comprises an unlock operating member movably disposed on the buckle structure or the auxiliary buckle structure, and the unlock operating member is pressed to unlock the lock portion and the auxiliary lock portion.

22. The buckle assembly of claim 14 , wherein the buckle structure is a female buckle and the auxiliary buckle structure is a male buckle.

23. The buckle assembly of claim 14 , wherein the buckle structure is a male buckle and the auxiliary buckle structure is a female buckle.

24. A baby carrier comprising a sling, a protective member for enclosing a baby, a strap and the buckle assembly of claim 15 , the sling being connected to the auxiliary buckle structure, an end of the strap being connected to the protective member, another end of the strap being connected to the connecting member of the buckle structure.
