Abstract

A magnetic buckling assembly includes a male buckling component, a female buckling component, a first locking portion, a second locking portion, an operating component, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component and a clearance structure. The first magnetic component magnetically attracts the second magnetic component for preventing separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component for promoting the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component when the operating component is operated to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion for allowing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component. The clearance structure allows the second locking portion to slide an offsetting position for preventing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component after engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion.

Claims (18)

1. A magnetic buckling assembly comprising: a male buckling component; a female buckling component; a first locking portion disposed on the female buckling component; a second locking portion disposed on the male buckling component and for engaging with the first locking portion; an operating component movably disposed on the female buckling component; a first magnetic component disposed on the female buckling component; a second magnetic component disposed on the male buckling component and for magnetically cooperating with the first magnetic component; and a protecting component disposed on the female buckling component and movable relative the female buckling component between a first position and a second position, the protecting component restraining the operating component from disengaging the first locking portion from the second locking portion when the protecting component is located at the first position, and the operating component being allowed to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion when the protecting component is located at the second position; wherein the male buckling component is connected to the female buckling component along a connecting direction by engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion, the first magnetic component magnetically attracts or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component during a connecting process of the male buckling component and the female buckling component along the connecting direction, the first magnetic component magnetically attracts the second magnetic component for preventing separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component for promoting the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component when the operating component is operated to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion for allowing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component.

2. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protecting component engages with the operating component when the protecting component is located at the first position, and the protecting component disengages from the operating component when the protecting component is located at the second position.

3. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 2 .

4. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protecting component covers the operating component when the protecting component is located at the first position, and the operating component is exposed when the protecting component is located at the second position.

5. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 4 , wherein the protecting component comprises a covering portion and a guiding portion connected to the covering portion, the covering portion selectively covers or exposes the operating component, the guiding portion is movably disposed on the female buckling component, and the covering portion and the guiding portion are misaligned with each other along the connecting direction.

6. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the guiding portion and the covering portion is a hollow structure with an opening toward the male buckling component.

7. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 6 .

8. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 5 .

9. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 4 .

10. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 1 , wherein the operating component is slidably disposed on the female buckling component along an operating direction parallel to the connecting direction, and the protecting component is slidably disposed on the female buckling component along a sliding direction intersecting with the connecting direction.

11. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 10 .

12. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protecting component is disposed on the female buckling component and slidable or rotatable relative to the female buckling component between the first position and the second position.

13. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 12 , further comprising a recovering component for biasing the protecting component to slide or rotate to the first position.

14. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 13 .

15. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 12 .

16. The magnetic buckling assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protecting component comprises a first end and a second end, the first end of the protecting component is a resilient structure and connected to the female buckling component, and the second end of the protecting component is configured to cover or expose the operating component.

17. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 16 .

18. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 .
