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.

Dependent claims

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;
and
a second magnetic component disposed on the male buckling component and for magnetically cooperating with the first magnetic component, 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 the second magnetic component along the connecting direction during a connecting process of the male buckling component and the female buckling component for preventing 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,
one clearance hole is formed on the female buckling component for allowing the second locking portion to slide along a direction intersecting with the connecting direction to an adjacent position after the first locking portion engages with the second locking portion, and
the female buckling component comprises an outer cover and a buckling body disposed inside the outer cover, the first locking portion is disposed on the buckling body.

one clearance hole is formed on the female buckling component,
the female buckling component comprises an outer cover and a connecting hole is formed on a side of the outer cover for allowing the second locking portion to pass therethrough, the clearance hole is communicated with the connecting hole,
wherein the second locking portion passes through the connecting hole to engage with the first locking portion, and
wherein after the second locking portion passes through the connecting hole to engage with the first locking portion, the second locking portion is slideable toward the clearance hole to an offsetting position.
