Description

Vehicle license plate coupling device{COUPLING APPARATUS FOR NUMBER PLATE OF VEHICLE}

The present invention relates to a license plate coupling device for a vehicle, and more particularly, to an auxiliary support that can be used when coupling a license plate to a vehicle.

As is well known, the license plate of the vehicle means that the vehicle registration number assigned by a combination of letters and numbers for each vehicle is mounted on a rectangular plate.

The license plate of such a vehicle is usually attached to a designated place of the vehicle, for example, at the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively.

However, since the license plate of the conventional vehicle is attached to the front and rear surfaces of the vehicle using bolts, there is a problem in that attachment is cumbersome. In addition, when an external force acts on the bolt to cause deformation and/or damage, there is a problem that it becomes more difficult to replace the license plate.

In order to solve these problems, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1875734 (announcement date: 2018.07.09.) proposed a license plate coupling device that fixes a license plate in a one-touch manner using an elastic fixing member.

In addition, when the license plate of a conventional vehicle is replaced, the bolt attached to the vehicle is removed, a new license plate is mounted, and then the bolt is fastened again, so that replacement is cumbersome.

Thus, in the present invention, a new type of vehicle license plate coupling device that is easy to operate when attaching and replacing a license plate is proposed.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a license plate coupling device for a vehicle capable of quickly and easily mounting a license plate and simplifying replacement.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a license plate coupling device for a vehicle that can be easily operated when mounting and replacing the license plate.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a license plate coupling device for a vehicle in which the license plate can be firmly coupled while being easy to operate.

The present invention includes a mechanism in which one of the fixing members is slid along the slot and is pressed by the elastic member to achieve the object as described above.

More specifically, the license plate coupling device of the vehicle of the present invention includes a slot formed in an up-down direction, a base plate mounted on the vehicle, and protruding along the edge of the base plate, and registering a vehicle together with the base plate An edge portion forming a license plate receiving portion in which a license plate displaying a number is accommodated, a fixing protrusion coupled to the base plate or the edge portion to be hooked to the lower side of the license plate, and the base plate so as to be slidable along the slot, And a sliding member that is caught on the upper side of the license plate, and a spring for elastically pressing the sliding member in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion.

According to an example related to the present invention, the sliding member includes a moving part configured to be movable along the slot, and a hook part extending from the moving part and disposed to protrude from the slot, and hooked to the upper part of the license plate. Include.

A support wall for supporting the spring may be formed in the slot, and the spring may be elastically supported on the spring part and the support wall, respectively.

A fitting rod protruding from the support wall may be inserted into the spring. The moving part is moved to a stopper disposed in the slot, and when the license plate is not mounted on the license plate receiving part, the moving part may contact the stopper by pressing the spring.

According to another example related to the present invention, the lower end of the slot may be formed at a position covered by the license plate so as to limit release of the hook portion due to a difference in the amount of heat deformation between the base plate and the license plate.

According to another example related to the present invention, a moving groove through which at least a part of the sliding member moves is formed in the edge portion.

A through hole connected to the moving groove may be formed in the rim portion to apply a force to the sliding member.

In addition, the present invention includes a base plate mounted on a vehicle, and an edge portion protruding along an edge of the base plate to form a license plate receiving portion accommodating a license plate displaying a vehicle registration number together with the base plate, and the A fixed protrusion coupled to the base plate or the rim and hooked to one side of the license plate, a sliding member movably coupled to the base plate or rim to move along the vertical direction, and a sliding member hooked to the other side of the license plate, and the base plate Each of the sliding members includes a spring for elastically pressing the sliding member, the sliding member in a direction in which at least a part of the sliding member contacts the license plate by elastic pressure of the spring and approaches the fixing protrusion on the license plate. It presents a vehicle license plate coupling device that is formed to apply force.

According to another example related to the present invention, the base plate has a slot in which the sliding member is disposed in a vertical direction, and one end of the slot is covered by the license plate when the license plate is accommodated in the license plate receiving unit. It is formed at a position, and the other end of the slot may be formed at a position not covered by the license plate when the license plate is accommodated in the license plate receiving part.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, one side of the license plate is fixed by a fixing protrusion, and the other side of the license plate is fixed by a limiting part that moves relative to the fixing protrusion, so that the combination of the license plate is fast. And can be facilitated.

In addition, according to the structure of the present invention, the limiting portion is pushed by the pressure of the license plate and then moves to the original position by the spring when the license plate enters the installation position, thereby limiting the release of the license plate. Therefore, in a simple manner of rotating and pressing the license plate around one side of the license plate caught on the fixing protrusion, the license plate can be coupled to the license plate coupling device.

In addition, as the limiting portion is configured to be movable away from the fixing protrusion, the locking of the license plate can be easily released by the movement. Further, since the operation unit is connected to the limiting unit and at least a part is exposed to the outside through the rim unit, the operation of releasing the jamming of the license plate can be made more easily through the operation unit. Through the above structure, the number plate can be separated quickly and easily compared to the conventional bolt fastening method.

In addition, through a structure in which the operation unit is engaged with at least a portion of the edge portion, it is possible to maintain the unlocked state in which the limiting unit does not limit the separation of the license plate. In this case, when an external force is applied to the free end of the manipulation unit, the control of the movement of the restriction unit may be very easy through a structure in which the locking of the manipulation unit is released.

In addition, according to the present invention, when the license plate is inserted into the installation position while the operation unit is engaged with the rim, and the locking is released, the limiting unit moves to a position to limit the separation of the license plate. In this case, since it is not necessary for the license plate to press the limiting portion, it is possible to mount the license plate without exerting extra force.

In addition, according to the present invention, as the sliding slot is formed in the base plate and the moving groove is formed in the rim portion, the license plate coupling device can have a compact structure. In addition, by forming the receiving grooves of the springs of the base plate and the sliding member, a structure for stably adding elastic force can be implemented.

In addition, the present invention has a fixing structure of a license plate coupling device in which a lower fixing protrusion having a fixed position and an upper sliding member configured to be relatively movable with respect to the lower fixing protrusion but elastically pressed toward the lower fixing protrusion are combined. Accordingly, the license plate can be easily installed or removed from the license plate coupling device by applying a force to push the upper sliding member upward and then removing the force from the installation position or the separation position.

In addition, according to the present invention, the license plate coupling device is made so that the compression degree of the spring is different from each other in a state in which the license plate is not disposed in the license plate receiving portion and in a state in which the license plate is fixed by a sliding member. Through this, even if the distance between the rim of the license plate coupling device and the license plate changes due to temperature change, it is always possible to firmly bind the license plate.

In addition, according to the present invention, as the slot is formed in the base plate and the moving groove is formed in the rim portion, the license plate coupling device can have a compact structure.

In addition, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings are for easy understanding of the embodiments disclosed in the present specification and should not be construed as limiting the technical idea disclosed in the present specification by the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a license plate coupling device of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention in use, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the license plate coupling device of FIG. 1.

1 and 2, the license plate coupling device of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is made so that the license plate of the vehicle is mountable.

The license plate 110 may be coupled to a designated place of the vehicle 10, for example, a license plate mounting portion 15 formed at the front and rear surfaces of the vehicle 10, respectively.

The license plate 100 may have a prescribed shape, for example, a rectangular plate shape. In this case, the license plate 110 may include a body 112 having a rectangular plate shape and a vehicle registration number 114 displayed on the body 112.

The vehicle registration number 114 may be uniquely assigned for each type of the vehicle 10. The vehicle registration number 114 may be embossed to protrude from the surface of the body 112, for example. As another example, the vehicle registration number 114 may be engraved to be recessed in the surface of the body 112.

The license plate 110 may have, for example, an embossed edge line 116 protruding along the edge of the body 112.

As shown, the license plate coupling device to which the license plate 110 is coupled includes a base plate 130 and an edge portion 131.

The base plate 130 is mounted on the vehicle 10, and the license plate 110 may be detachably coupled to the base plate 130.

The base plate 130 may be coupled to the license plate mounting portion 15, for example, before the license plate 110 is coupled.

The base plate 130 may have, for example, a shape corresponding to the shape of the license plate 110. At this time, the base plate 130 may be implemented as, for example, a synthetic resin member (plastic). However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the base plate 130 may be formed of a metal material.

The base plate 130 may include, for example, a license plate receiving portion 132 recessed along the thickness direction to accommodate the license plate 110. The license plate receiving part 132 is formed in a rectangular shape to correspond to the shape of the license plate 110, and the license plate 110 is accommodated.

The base plate 110 may be provided with an information display unit that displays information such as characters and figures. The information display unit may be formed to be recessed in the thickness direction of the base plate 110, for example. Inside the information display unit, for example, a member marked with a name and/or logo may be attached.

The edge portion 131 may protrude along the edge of the base plate 130 to form the license plate receiving portion 132 together with the base plate 130.

In this case, the license plate receiving portion 132 may be provided with a plurality of through holes 135 through which the fastening element 137 coupled to the vehicle 10 can be inserted. The fastening element 137 may be a bolt or a pin. Accordingly, the base plate 130 may be integrally fixedly coupled to the vehicle 10.

The plurality of through holes 135 may be formed in a larger number than the number of fastening elements 137 coupled to the vehicle 10. For example, when the fastening element 137 is a bolt, the position to which the bolt is coupled is different for each type of vehicle 10, so that the base plate 130 is commonly used.

The plurality of through holes 135 may be configured as long holes having a long length toward one side, for example. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately cope with the deviation of the position of the fastening element 137.

As such, the base plate 130 may be coupled to the license plate mounting portion 15 of the vehicle 10 using the fastening element 137.

Hereinafter, a structure for coupling the license plate 110 to the base plate 130 coupled to the vehicle 10 will be described in detail.

The edge portion 131 or the edge of the license plate receiving portion 132 may be provided with a fixing protrusion 150 to suppress the separation of the license plate 110 inserted into the inside of the license plate receiving portion 132 have.

The fixing protrusion 150 may be formed to protrude from the rim portion 131 to cover one front side of the license plate 110.

For example, the fixing protrusion 150 may protrude from one side of the edge portion 131 toward the other side of the edge portion 131. As such, the fixing protrusion 150 may be integrally formed with the rim portion 131, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, the fixing protrusion 150 may be coupled to the edge portion 131 or the license plate receiving portion 132 as a separate member. When the fixing protrusion 150 is coupled to the license plate receiving part 132, the fixing protrusion 150 has a vertical portion formed in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 132, and the vertical It may be provided with an extension from the portion toward the other side of the rim portion.

The fixing protrusion 150 may be formed, for example, on a long side of the license plate receiving portion 132 or may be formed on a short side of the license plate receiving portion 132.

The long side portion refers to one side portion extending along the length direction of the license plate receiving portion 132, wherein the length direction means a direction formed along a longer edge of the base plate 130. Accordingly, the short side portion may be a side portion extending along the width direction of the license plate receiving portion 132.

Alternatively, the fixing protrusion 150 may be formed on a long side and a short side of the license plate receiving portion 132, respectively. In this embodiment, the fixing protrusion 150 is formed on the long side of the license plate receiving portion 132.

More specifically, the fixing protrusion 150 may be formed on one of an upper side and a lower side of the license plate receiving part 132. In this embodiment, it is illustrated that the fixing protrusion 150 is disposed on the lower side.

According to this structure, the lower side of the license plate receiving part 132 has the fixing protrusion 150 and the sidewall of the rim part 131 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 132 at one side of the license plate 110. The arrangement space or the insertion space in which the insertion is placed is formed.

In this way, the fixing protrusion 150 protrudes from the edge portion 131 or is coupled to the edge portion 131 or the base plate 130, and is configured to be hooked on one front side of the license plate 110. In this case, the fixing protrusion 150 may include a plurality of fixing protrusions spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing protrusion 150 includes a protrusion 151 protruding from the edge portion 131 and a guide surface guiding the insertion of the license plate 110 when the license plate 110 is inserted ( 152) may be provided.

The guide surface 152 may be formed to be inclined at the end of the protrusion 151 so that the entrance of the arrangement space may be widened toward the other side of the edge part 131. When the license plate 110 is inserted through the inclined guide surface 152, the insertion of the license plate 110 may be guided.

As a result, after inserting the lower side of the license plate 110 in the drawing between the fixing protrusion 150 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 132, the upper side of the license plate 110 is rotated. It is possible to accommodate the license plate 110 in the license plate receiving portion 132. At this time, the upper edge of the license plate 110 is inserted between at least a portion of the sliding member 190 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 132, so that the license plate 110 can be fixedly coupled to the license plate coupling device. have.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sliding member of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 1.

4 and 5, the sliding member 190 is coupled to the base plate 130 so as to be slidable from the opposite side of the fixing protrusion 150 with respect to the license plate receiving part 132 do. For example, the sliding member 190 is coupled to the base plate 130 to be movable along the vertical direction. That is, the sliding member 190 is configured to be movable so as to be close to the fixing protrusion 150 or away from the fixing protrusion 150.

In addition, at least a portion of the sliding member 190 is configured to be engaged with the license plate 110. More specifically, the sliding member 190 has a limiting part 191, and the limiting part 191 covers the other front side of the license plate 110 so that the license plate 110 is the license plate receiving part 132 Limit deviations from

The license plate coupling device includes a spring 160 that elastically presses the sliding member in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion 150, whereby the limiting part 191 resists the fixing protrusion 150 and has an elastic force. And maintains the state of covering the other front side of the license plate. The spring may be formed in various forms such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber spring, and a magnetic force spring.

The sliding member 190 may include a sliding body 192 on which the limiting portion 191 is disposed, and the sliding body 192 may be coupled to the base plate 130 so as to be slidable. More specifically, the limiting portion 191 may protrude from one surface of the sliding body 192. A through hole 193 may be formed at one side of the limiting part 191 so that a part of the sliding body 192 is bent to implement the limiting part 191.

The limiting part 191 is, for example, a vertical part 191a extending upward from the sliding body 192 and a fixing part that is bent from the vertical part 191a to cover the license plate to fix the license plate ( 191b) may be provided.

In this case, the fixing part 191b may be bent downwardly inclined from the vertical part 191a. In addition, an end of the fixing part 191b may be provided with a bent part bent so as to suppress scratching or damage of the license plate 110 when contacting the license plate 110, for example.

Meanwhile, the sliding member 190 may include a manipulation unit 194 disposed to be spaced apart from the limiting unit 191 along a direction away from the fixing protrusion 150 to enable manipulation. For example, the operation part 194 is formed in the sliding body 192, and when the operation part 194 is pulled, the sliding body 192 and the limiting part 191 move.

When the pulling of the manipulation unit 194 is stopped by the elastic force of the spring 160, the sliding body 192 slides toward the fixing protrusion 150. In this case, the limiting part 191 is also moved together with the sliding body 192.

The license plate coupling device may include a sliding slot 140 in which the sliding member 190 is movably disposed. As this example, the sliding slot 140 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving portion), and the sliding body 192 may be disposed to be movable in the sliding slot 140.

Since the sliding body 192 is engaged at the upper and lower ends of the sliding slot 140, the moving range of the sliding member 190 may be limited between the upper and lower ends of the sliding slot 140. In addition, the spring 160 may be disposed in the sliding slot 140.

In this case, the sliding body 192 may include a first portion 192a formed on one side of the limiting portion 191 and a second portion 192b formed on the other side. The spring 160 may elastically press the first part 192a, and the manipulation part may protrude from the second part 192b. In this case, the through hole 193 formed on one side of the limiting part 191 may be disposed in the first part 192a.

In this example, the manipulation unit 194 is bent at the end of the second portion 192b and formed in a vertical direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, the manipulation unit 194 may have any shape as long as it is a structure that is caught by an external tool.

Referring to the drawings, a moving groove 136 through which at least a portion of the sliding member moves may be formed in the edge portion 131. For this example, a moving groove 136 communicating with the sliding slot 140 may be provided, and the manipulation unit 194 may be inserted into the moving groove 136.

That is, the moving groove 136 may extend to cut the edge portion 131 at the lower end of the sliding slot 140. More specifically, the moving groove 136 may be recessed from the sidewall of the edge portion 131 toward the outside. In addition, a through hole 137 connected to the moving groove 136 to apply a force to the manipulation unit 194 may be formed at the edge portion.

The through hole 137 is formed to penetrate the edge portion 131 at one side wall of the moving groove 136. Each of the through hole 137 and the moving groove 136 may be formed to have a size in which the manipulation unit 194 can be accommodated.

According to this structure, an external tool is inserted into the rim through the through hole 137, and it is possible to be caught by the manipulation unit 194. Therefore, the operator can operate the sliding of the sliding member 190 using a tool.

In this case, in order to prevent the sliding body 192 from being separated from the sliding slot 140, a cover part 137 overlapping at least a part of the sliding body 192 is formed on the side wall of the sliding slot 140. Can protrude from. The cover part 137 is formed to have a length smaller than the length of the sliding slot 140 so that the sliding body can be inserted into the sliding slot 140. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the cover portion may be coupled to the base plate as a separate member.

According to the structure described above, the limiting part 191 is separated from the license plate 110 by pulling the operation part 194, and after the license plate 110 is accommodated in the license plate receiving part 132 The restoring force of the spring 160 may return to a position covering the front surface of the license plate 110. Hereinafter, these operations will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation of coupling a license plate to the license plate coupling device of FIG. 2, and FIG. 7 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation of releasing the license plate in the coupled state of FIG. 6.

Referring to Figure 6 (a), in the first state in which the sliding member 190 is fixed to the initial position by the elastic force of the spring 160, the limiting portion 191 is located inside the license plate receiving portion 132 Is done.

Referring to FIG. 6B, in a second state in which the limiting portion 191 is pressed, the sliding member 190 receives a force outward, through which the sliding member 190 slides. . In this case, the limiting portion 191 may be subjected to elastic deformation.

Referring to (c) of Figure 6, after the license plate 110 passes through the limiting portion 191, the sliding member 190 is the front surface of the license plate 110 by the elastic force of the spring 160 The other side is pressed or contacted, or the license plate 110 slides to a position that is caught on the other side of the front side. In this case, the limiting part 191 is in a third state in which the free end is disposed in front of the license plate 110, so that the front separation of the license plate 110 may be suppressed.

As described above, in the present invention, the license plate 110 is not bolted to the vehicle, and can be coupled by simply inserting the license plate 110 into the license plate receiving part 132.

Meanwhile, in the present example, the description has been made on the premise that the positions of the limiting unit 191 are different from each other in the first state and the third state, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the first state and the third state, the positions of the limiting parts 191 may be the same.

In addition, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, when it is necessary to replace the license plate, the license plate can be easily separated from the license plate receiving part by using the operation unit.

Referring to FIG. 7A, in the third state, the user inserts an external tool into the through hole 137 of the rim portion 131 and locks the tool in the manipulation unit 194. Thereafter, when the manipulation unit 194 is pulled, the sliding member 190 slides into the fourth state, as shown in FIG. 7B. In the fourth state, the sliding member 190 is moved to a position where the license plate 110 and the limiting part 191 do not overlap each other.

In the fourth state, since overlapping of the limiting part 191 with the license plate 110 is released, the license plate 110 can be easily taken out from the license plate receiving part 132.

If the operation part is utilized, other operations are also possible when the license plate 110 is coupled to the license plate coupling device. For example, after pulling the sliding member 190 from the first state to the fourth state using the tool, one side of the license plate 110 is inserted into the fixing protrusion 150, and the license plate ( It is possible to rotate 110) and insert it into the license plate receiving part 132. When the pull is released afterwards, the limiting part 191 moves to the third state to fix the license plate 110.

As another example, in the case of mounting the license plate, after pulling the sliding member 190 from the first state to the fourth state as shown in FIG. 7 (b), one side of the license plate 110 is fixed It is also possible to insert into the license plate receiving portion 132 by inserting it in 150 and rotating. At this time, after receiving the license plate 110 in the license plate receiving portion 132, when the pulling force of the sliding member 190 is released, the sliding member 190 moves, as shown in FIG. 6(c). It can be switched to the third state.

As described above, in the present invention, one side of the license plate 110 is fixed by the fixing protrusion 150, and the other side of the license plate 110 is fixed by the limiting portion 191 that is moved relative to the fixing protrusion. , The combination and release of license plates can be made quickly and easily.

Meanwhile, the structure of the present invention can be modified in various forms, and such modified examples will be described below.

The fixing protrusion 150 may have the structure of the example described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, and a description thereof will be replaced with a description of the above example.

In this example, the lower side of the license plate 210 is first inserted between the fixing protrusion 150 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 232, and then the upper side of the license plate 210 is rotated. It is possible to accommodate the license plate in the license plate receiving portion. At this time, the upper edge of the license plate 210 is inserted between at least a portion of the sliding member 290 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 232, so that the license plate 210 can be fixedly coupled to the license plate coupling device. have.

As shown, the sliding member 290 is coupled to the base plate 230 so as to be slidably moved from the opposite side of the fixing protrusion 150 with respect to the license plate receiving portion 232. For example, the sliding member 290 is coupled to the base plate 230 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. That is, the sliding member 290 is configured to be movable so as to be close to the fixing protrusion 150 or away from the fixing protrusion 150.

In addition, at least a portion of the sliding member 290 is configured to be hooked to the license plate 210. More specifically, the sliding member 290 includes a limiting part 291, and the limiting part 291 covers the other front side of the license plate 210 so that the license plate 210 is the license plate receiving part 232 Limit deviation from

The license plate coupling device includes a spring 260 that elastically presses the sliding member 290 in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion 150, whereby the limiting part 291 makes the fixing protrusion 150 It receives the elastic force and maintains the state covering the other front side of the license plate 210. The spring 260 may be formed in various forms such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber spring, and a magnetic force spring.

The sliding member 290 may include a sliding body 292 on which the limiting portion 291 is disposed, and the sliding body 292 may be coupled to the base plate 230 so as to be slidably movable. More specifically, the limiting portion 291 may protrude from one surface of the sliding body 292. The sliding member may be formed by injection molding so that a part of the sliding body 292 is bent to implement the limiting portion 291.

The limiting part 291 is bent from the vertical part 291a so as to cover the vertical part 291a extending upward from the sliding body 292 and the license plate 210, and the license plate 210 It may be provided with a fixing portion (291b) for fixing.

In this case, the fixing part 291b may be bent upwardly inclined from the vertical part 291a. In addition, at an end of the fixing part 291b, for example, a bent part 291c that is bent to suppress scratching or damage of the license plate 210 when in contact with the license plate 210 may be provided. . The bent portion 291c may be bent such that an end of the limiting portion protrudes in a direction away from the sliding body, so that the upward inclination of the fixing portion 291b may be increased.

Meanwhile, the sliding member 290 may be provided with an operation unit 294 spaced apart from the restriction unit 291 along a direction away from the fixing protrusion 150 so as to be operable. For example, the operation part 294 is formed in the sliding body 292, and when the operation part 294 is pulled, the sliding body 292 and the limiting part 291 move.

When the pulling of the operation part 294 is stopped by the elastic force of the spring 260, the sliding body 292 slides toward the fixing protrusion 150. In this case, the limiting portion 291 is also moved together with the sliding body 292.

Referring to the drawings, the manipulation unit 294 may be engaged with at least a portion of the edge portion 231 in a state in which the limiting portion 291 is released from covering the other front side of the license plate.

As such an example, the operation part 294 extends in an inclined direction with the sliding body 292 at one end of the sliding body 292, and at least a part of the rim part 231 at one side of the operation part 294 A locking part 295 that is caught on the wall may be provided.

In addition, the free end of the manipulation unit 294 may be rotated with respect to the fixed end to release the locking. To this end, the fixed end is connected to at least a portion of the sliding member 290, and the free end is formed to be engaged with at least a portion of the rim portion 231. That is, the locking portion 295 is provided on the side of the free end, and the locking portion 295 is rotated as the free end is bent.

Referring to the drawings, a moving groove 236 through which at least a portion of the sliding member 290 moves may be formed in the edge portion 231. As an example, a moving groove 236 communicating with the sliding slot 240 may be provided, and the limiting portion 291 may be inserted into the moving groove 236.

That is, the moving groove 236 may be recessed from the sidewall of the edge part 231 toward the outside. In addition, a through hole 238 connected to the moving groove 236 may be formed in the rim portion 231 so that the locking portion 295 penetrates and is caught on the outer surface of the license plate coupling device.

The through hole 238 is formed to penetrate the edge portion 231 at one side wall of the moving groove 236. Each of the through hole 238 and the moving groove 236 may be formed to have a size capable of accommodating the manipulation part 294.

When the locking part 295 passes through the through hole 238 and is caught on the outer wall of the edge part 231, the sliding member 290 may be fixed. In this case, the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 238 facing the locking part 295 may be formed to be inclined in a direction opposite to the inclined direction of the manipulation part 294. Since the operation part 294 is formed to be inclined with respect to the sliding body 292, the more it is inserted into the through hole 238, the more bending deformation occurs in the operation part 294, and after passing through the through hole 238, It is restored so that the locking part 295 may be caught in the edge part 231.

In addition, in this case, the outer wall of the edge portion 231 may be an inclined surface along the vertical direction so that a force can be applied to the locking portion 295 in a vertical direction. According to this structure, it is easy to apply an external force for releasing the locking from the outside in a state in which the manipulation part 294 is inserted into the through hole 238 and is caught by the edge part 231.

Meanwhile, a first receiving groove 241 in which a part of the spring 260 is accommodated is formed in the base plate 230, and a first receiving groove 241 in which another part of the spring 260 is accommodated is formed in the sliding member 290. Two receiving grooves 242 may be formed.

More specifically, the license plate coupling device may include a sliding slot 240 in which the sliding member 290 is movably disposed. As this example, the sliding slot 240 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part), and the sliding body 292 may be disposed to be movable in the sliding slot 240. In this case, the first receiving groove 241 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding slot 240.

In this case, the sliding body 292 may include a first portion 296 formed on one side of the limiting portion 291 and a second portion 297 formed on the other side. The second receiving groove 242 may be formed in the first part 296. In order to form the second receiving groove 242 on the lower surface of the sliding body 292, the receiving protrusion 243 may protrude in a cylindrical shape on the front surface of the sliding body 292.

At this time, a guide protrusion 244 formed to slide along the first receiving groove 241 is formed at one side of the second receiving groove 242. For example, the guide protrusion 244 is formed to close the end of the second receiving groove 242, that is, the end of the first portion 296, and is inserted into the first receiving groove 241. According to this structure, the spring 260 may be accommodated between the first receiving groove 241 and the second receiving groove 242. Through this structure, the spring 260 elastically presses the first part 296 with a compressive force.

In this case, in order to prevent the sliding body 292 from being separated from the sliding slot 240, a cover part 245 overlapping at least a part of the sliding body 292 is provided on the side wall of the sliding slot 240 Can protrude from. To allow the sliding body 292 to be inserted into the sliding slot 240, the cover part 245 is formed to have a length smaller than the length of the sliding slot 240, or the base plate 230 as a separate member Can be combined with

Referring to FIG. 11, in a first state in which the sliding member 290 is fixed to an initial position by the elastic force of the spring 260 (see FIG. 11 (a)), the limiting portion 291 is the license plate receiving portion 232 ) Is located inside. By the compressive force of the spring 260, the sliding member 290 may be fixed at a position in contact with the lower end of the sliding slot 240.

In the first state, when the manipulation unit 294 is pulled as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, the sliding member 290 slides outward. By the pulling, the sliding member 290 slides into a fourth state. In the fourth state, similar to the above-described example, the sliding member 290 is moved to a position where the license plate 210 and the limiting part 291 do not overlap each other.

However, in this example, in the fourth state, the locking part 295 of the manipulation part 294 may be caught in at least a part of the edge part 231. As described above, since the manipulation part 294 is formed to be inclined with respect to the sliding body 290, and the through hole 238 is inclined in a direction opposite to the manipulation part 294, the locking part 295 is The more it is inserted into the through hole 238, the more it is pressed, so that bending occurs in the manipulation unit 294. Thereafter, in the fourth state, the manipulation unit 294 may be restored after passing through the through hole 238 so that the locking part 295 may be caught by the edge part 231.

In the fourth state, since overlapping of the limiting part 291 with the license plate 210 is released, the license plate 210 can be easily inserted into the license plate receiving part 232. Thereafter, as shown in (c) of FIG. 11, when a force is applied to the locking part 295 to release the locking part 295 from being caught by the edge part 231, the limiting part (291) moves to the third state to fix the license plate.

Here, in the third state, the limiting portion is a state in which the free end portion 210 is disposed in front of the license plate 210, and in this state, the front separation of the license plate 210 can be suppressed.

In the present example, the description has been made on the premise that the positions of the restrictors are different from each other in the first state and the third state, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the first state and the third state, the position of the restriction may be the same.

As described above, in the present invention, the license plate is not bolted to the vehicle, but after inserting the license plate into the license plate receiving part, it is possible to engage only by releasing the locking of the operation part.

On the other hand, in the case of removing the license plate 210 from the license plate coupling device, when the sliding member 290 is moved to the fourth state by pulling the operation part 294, the locking part 295 is engaged. , The license plate 210 and the limiting part 291 do not overlap each other. Therefore, removal of the license plate can be made very easily.

This occurs, and is restored after passing through the first region 338a, so that the locking part 395 may be caught by the locking protrusion.

Also in this example, the free end of the manipulation unit 394 may be rotated with respect to the fixed end to release the locking. To this end, a manipulation hole 339 may be formed on one side of the second area 338b to penetrate the edge part 331 in a direction perpendicular to the second area 338b. When the tool is inserted into the manipulation hole 339, the locking part 395 is pressed to enable rotation of the free end.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 14, the operation portion 494 of the sliding member 490 may include a first portion 494a, a second portion 494b, and a third portion 494c. The first part 494a is a part extending from one end of the sliding body 492 and is formed in parallel with the sliding body 492. The second part 494b is a part extending upward from the first part 494a, and the third part 494c is in a direction parallel to the first part 494a in the second part 494b It can be a part that is bent and extended.

A locking part 495 may be provided in the third part 494c, and such a structure may also be presented as a structure capable of both the aforementioned locking and releasing operations.

The sliding slot 540 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part).

Since the sliding body 592 is caught in the stopper 561 located in the sliding slot 540, the moving range of the sliding body 592 may be limited to the stopper 561. The stopper 561 may be formed at a position covered by the license plate 510.

At this time, the spring 560 may elastically press the sliding body 592 toward the stopper 561. That is, due to the spring 560, the sliding body 592 receives an elastic force against the fixing protrusion 150 and presses one side of the license plate 510. The spring 560 may be formed in various forms such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber, a magnetic spring, and a hydraulic spring.

Referring to the drawings, a support wall 562 supporting the spring 560 is formed in the sliding slot 540, and the spring 560 is attached to the sliding body 592 and the support wall 562. Each is elastically supported.

More specifically, the sliding slot 540 may include a plurality of moving slots 541 to which the sliding body 592 is coupled and a receiving slot 542 for accommodating the spring 560.

As in the previous embodiments, in the fourth state, the locking portion 595 of the manipulation unit 594 may be engaged with at least a portion of the edge portion 531.

After that, as shown in (c) of FIG. 18, when a force is applied to the locking part 595 to release the locking part 595 from being caught by the edge part 531, the limiting part (591) moves to the third state and fixes the license plate.

As described above, in this example, the license plate 510 is not bolted to the vehicle, and can be coupled by simply inserting it into the license plate receiving part 532.

Meanwhile, in the present example, the description has been made on the premise that the position of the limiting unit 591 is different from each other in the first state and the third state, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the first state and the third state, the position of the limiting part 591 may be the same.

In the above-described implementation, the license plate is first fitted to the fixing protrusion, and a mechanism is disclosed in which the license plate is rotated and coupled to the sliding member. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and an embodiment in which the license plate is first inserted into the sliding member, and then rotated after sliding the sliding member and inserted into the fixing protrusion is also possible. Hereinafter, these embodiments will be described in more detail.

19 is a perspective view of a sliding member according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 20 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation of coupling a license plate to the license plate coupling device of FIG. 19.

Referring to the drawings, the license plate coupling device to which the license plate 610 is coupled includes a base plate 630 and an edge portion 631.

The base plate 630 is mounted on a vehicle 10 (see FIG. 1 ), and a license plate 610 may be detachably coupled to the base plate 630.

The base plate 630 may be coupled to the license plate mounting portion 15 (see FIG. 1 ), for example, before the license plate 610 is coupled. The edge portion 631 may protrude along an edge of the base plate 630 to form the license plate receiving portion 632 together with the base plate 630.

The base plate 630, the rim portion 631, and the license plate receiving portion 632 have the structure of the example described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 18, and may be partially deformed. In the present embodiment, portions that are not described separately are replaced with the description of the above-described example.

The sliding member 690 is coupled to the base plate 630 so as to be slidable along a slot formed in the base plate 630 in the vertical direction. In this case, the sliding member 690 may have a structure that is engaged with one side of the license plate 610.

As a result, the upper side of the license plate 610 in the drawing is first caught by the sliding member 690, and then a force is applied to push the sliding member 690 upward and then the lower side of the license plate 610. It is possible to accommodate the license plate 610 in the license plate receiving part 632 by rotating the edge. After that, when the force for pushing the license plate 610 upward is removed, the lower side of the license plate 610 may be inserted between the fixing protrusion 150 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 632. At this time, if the force applied to the license plate 610 is completely removed, the license plate 610 may be fixedly coupled to the license plate coupling device.

As shown, the sliding member 690 is coupled to the base plate 630 so as to be slidably moved from the opposite side of the fixing protrusion 150 with respect to the license plate receiving portion 632. Since the sliding member 690 fixes the license plate, it may be referred to as a fixing member.
