Abstract

A fastening assembly includes a fastening member and an operating member movably sheathed on the fastening member. The fastening member includes a threaded part and a mating part connected to the threaded part. The operating member includes a snap-fitting part corresponding to the mating part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fastening assembly comprising:
a fastening member including a threaded part and a mating part connected to the threaded part, the mating part including a snapping part at an end of the mating part that is distal from the threaded part, wherein the snapping part includes a slot extending along a circumferential direction of the mating part; and
an operating member movably sheathed on the fastening member, the operating member including a snap-fitting part corresponding to the mating part, the snap-fitting part including a snapping protrusion,
wherein the operating member is configured to slide along an axial direction of the operating member relative to the fastening member to snap the snap-fitting part with the snapping part or to separate the snap-fitting part from the snapping part.

2. The fastening assembly of claim 1 , wherein the operating member is configured to drive the fastening member to rotate via the snap-fitting part.

3. The fastening assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a resetting member configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the operating member to enable the operating member to automatically reset after sliding.

4. The fastening assembly of claim 3 , wherein the resetting member is accommodated in the operating member, and a first end of the resetting member abuts against the fastening member and a second end of the resetting member abuts against the operating member.

5. The fastening assembly of claim 4 , wherein:
the operating member includes a first sheathing hole and a second sheathing hole arranged along the axial direction of the operating member, the first sheathing hole and second sheathing hole being in communication with each other and together penetrating the entire operating member;
a size of the first sheathing hole is smaller than a size of the second sheathing hole, such that a stepped surface is formed at a position where the first sheathing hole and second sheathing hole are connected; and
the second end of the resetting member abuts against the stepped surface.

6. The fastening assembly of claim 5 , wherein:
the fastening member further includes a flange part formed at an end of the mating part that is distal from the threaded part; and
the resetting member is sheathed on the mating part and abuts between the stepped surface and the flange part.

7. The fastening assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
a diameter of the threaded part is smaller than a diameter of the mating part;
the mating part includes a sliding groove along an axial direction of the mating part, one end of the sliding groove penetrating to the threaded part and another end of the sliding groove being in communication with the snapping part; and
the snap-fitting part is configured to slide along the sliding groove into the snapping part.

8. The fastening assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a locking member configured to be coupled to the threaded part in a threaded fit.

9. A mounting bracket comprising:
a connecting frame;
a holding mechanism configured to hold an external device; and
a fastening assembly configured to adjust a mounting position of the holding mechanism relative to the connecting frame, the fastening assembly including:
a fastening member including a threaded part and a mating part connected to the threaded part;
an operating member movably sheathed on the fastening member, the operating member including a snap-fitting part corresponding to the mating part; and
a resetting member configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the operating member to enable the operating member to automatically reset after sliding.

10. The mounting bracket of claim 9 , wherein the operating member is configured to slide along an axial direction of the operating member relative to the fastening member to snap-fit the snap-fitting part with the mating part, such that the operating member drives the fastening member to rotate via the snap-fitting part.

11. The mounting bracket of claim 9 , wherein the resetting member is accommodated in the operating member, and a first end of the resetting member abuts against the fastening member and a second end of the resetting member abuts against the operating member.

12. The mounting bracket of claim 11 , wherein:
the operating member includes a first sheathing hole and a second sheathing hole arranged along the axial direction of the operating member, the first sheathing hole and second sheathing hole being in communication with each other and together penetrating the entire operating member;
a size of the first sheathing hole is smaller than a size of the second sheathing hole, such that a stepped surface is formed at a position where the first sheathing hole and second sheathing hole are connected; and
the second end of the resetting member abuts against the stepped surface.

13. The mounting bracket of claim 12 , wherein:
the fastening member further includes a flange part formed at an end of the mating part that is distal from the threaded part; and
the resetting member is sheathed on the mating part and abuts between the stepped surface and the flange part.

14. The mounting bracket of claim 9 , wherein:
the snap-fitting part includes a snapping protrusion;
the mating part includes a snapping part at an end of the mating part that is distal from the threaded part; and
the operating member is configured to slide along an axial direction of the operating member relative to the fastening member to snap the snap-fitting part with the snapping part or to separate the snap-fitting part from the snapping part.

15. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein the snapping part includes a slot extending along a circumferential direction of the mating part.

16. The mounting bracket of claim 15 , wherein:
a diameter of the threaded part is smaller than a diameter of the mating part;
the mating part includes a sliding groove along an axial direction of the mating part, one end of the sliding groove penetrating to the threaded part and another end of the sliding groove being in communication with the snapping part; and
the snap-fitting part is configured to slide along the sliding groove into the snapping part.

17. The mounting bracket of claim 9 , wherein the fastening assembly further includes a locking member configured to be coupled to the threaded part in a threaded fit.
