Abstract

A light-emitting safe buckle is disclosed. The buckle includes, a light-emitting device, and a male buckle and a female buckle made of a transparent or translucent material, the light-emitting device being disposed on an intermediate setting portion of the male buckle. The male buckle and the female buckle are both made of a transparent or translucent material, such that light emitted by the light-emitting device can be quickly conducted and diffused to the whole structure.

Claims

1. A light-emitting safe buckle, comprising:

a light-emitting device;

a male buckle and a female buckle made of a transparent or translucent material; and

an intermediate setting portion being disposed between two elastic pins of the male buckle, one end position of the intermediate setting portion facing the female buckle being projected to form a guide rod, a guide slot adapted to the guide rod being disposed on the female buckle, the intermediate setting portion being provided with an accommodation cavity for disposing the light-emitting device, and the light-emitting device being disposed in the accommodation cavity.

2. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 1, wherein the contour of the intermediate setting portion is triangle-shaped, and the guide rod is located at a corner portion position of the intermediate setting portion facing the female buckle.

3. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 2, wherein the female buckle is provided with a triangular notch adapted to the intermediate setting portion.

4. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 2, wherein the light-emitting device comprises a control circuit board, LED lamps, a touch switch and a battery, the touch switch being disposed in a center position of the control circuit board, the plurality of LED lamps being symmetrically disposed at peripheral positions of the control circuit board with the touch switch as the center of a circle and facing an inner wall of the accommodation cavity, and the battery being disposed at a lower position of the control circuit board and being connected to the control circuit board.

5. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 4, wherein there are three LED lamps which are disposed at the peripheral positions of the control circuit board symmetrically about the center of a circle, and correspondingly face three corner portions of the intermediate setting portion.

6. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 4, wherein a position on an upper surface of the male buckle corresponding to the accommodation cavity is provided with an elastic presser foot that can trigger the touch switch when being pressed downwards, and a waterproof sealed cap for covering the elastic presser foot is disposed on the male buckle.

7. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 4, wherein an opening of the accommodation cavity is located on a lower surface of the male buckle, a round screw-cap capable of closing the opening is disposed on the male buckle, a lower surface of the round screw-cap is provided with a rib convenient for turning the round screw-cap, an outer side surface of the round screw-cap is provided with a rotation position groove, and the inner wall of the accommodation cavity is provided with a rotation position repousse adapted to the rotation position groove.

8. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 4, wherein an opening of the accommodation cavity is located at a lower surface of the male buckle, and a triangular cap capable of closing the opening is fixed on the male buckle with a screw.

9. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 1, wherein a middle portion of the elastic pin is projected outwards in an arced mode to form a pressing portion, a tail end thereof extends into an insertion cavity of the female buckle and is projected on upper and lower surfaces to form a hook portion, and a hook position adapted to the hook portion is disposed in the insertion cavity.

10. The light-emitting safe buckle according to claim 9, wherein an outer surface of the pressing portion is provided with a material-saving recess, and an outer surface of the guide rod is provided with a material-saving recess.

11. A buckle comprising:

a light-emitting device;

a buckle assembly including a first buckle and a second buckle; and

an intermediate portion located in the buckle assembly, the intermediate portion including a cavity, the light-emitting device being positioned in the cavity, and where when the light-emitting device is activated, the buckle assembly emits light.

12. The buckle of claim 11, where the first buckle is a male buckle, and the second buckle is a female buckle.

13. The buckle of claim 11, where the first buckle and the second buckle are made of a transparent or translucent material.

14. The buckle of claim 11, where the first buckle includes two pins, and where the intermediate portion is located between the two pins.

15. The buckle of claim 11, the light emitting device including a control circuit board, lamps, a touch switch and a battery, the touch switch being disposed in a center position of the control circuit board, the lamps being symmetrically disposed at peripheral positions of the control circuit board with the touch switch as the center of a circle and facing an inner wall of the cavity, and the battery being disposed at a lower position of the control circuit board and being connected to the control circuit board.

16. The buckle of claim 11, the light emitting device including at least 3 lamps.

17. The buckle of claim 11, wherein when the light-emitting device is activated, the first buckle emits light and the second buckle emits light.
