Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A buckle device, comprising:
 a female buckle comprising a wall forming an inserting hole; and   a male buckle, comprising:
 a male buckle body; 
 two engaging portions disposed at the male buckle body in intervals and located at an inserting side of the male buckle body, the two engaging portions configured to engage with the inserting hole of the female buckle; 
 an elastic connecting element connected between the two engaging portions; and 
 an actuating element comprising an actuating portion and a connecting string, wherein one of two ends of the connecting string is connected to the actuating portion, and the other one of the two ends of the connecting string is connected to the elastic connecting element; 
   wherein when the two engaging portions of the male buckle are engaged with the inserting hole of the female buckle, and the actuating portion is pulled by an external force to bend the elastic connecting element, the two engaging portions are closed to each other so as to be disengaged from the inserting hole.   
     
     
         2 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein a shape of the elastic connecting element is arc-shaped and the elastic connecting element comprises two legs and a top arc, each of the two legs is integrally connected to an inner side of each of the two engaging portions, and the top arc is integrally connected between the two legs and closer to the male buckle body than the two legs to the male buckle body. 
     
     
         3 . The buckle device of  claim 2 , wherein the elastic connecting element further comprises a protruding bump, the protruding bump is located at the top arc, and the connecting string is restricted to the protruding bump. 
     
     
         4 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein the female buckle further comprises two barb grooves, the two barb grooves are disposed in the wall and communicated with the inserting hole, each of the two engaging portions comprises a hooking part and a leg part, each of the two hooking parts is integrally connected to each of the leg parts, each of the two leg parts is connected to the male buckle body, and each of the two hooking parts is configured to engage with each of the two barb grooves. 
     
     
         5 . The buckle device of  claim 4 , wherein the two leg parts incline towards each other and an included angle is formed therebetween. 
     
     
         6 . The buckle device of  claim 5 , wherein each of the two engaging portions further comprises an abutting structure located at one end of each of the two legs parts close to the male buckle body, the wall comprises two side wall portions, and the two abutting structures are configured for abutting against the two side wall portions, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein the female buckle further comprises a restricting groove disposed at the wall of the female buckle and communicated with the inserting hole, and the restricting groove is configured for the connecting string to pass therethrough. 
     
     
         8 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein the female buckle further comprises a plurality of stiffening ribs, the wall comprises an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion, and the stiffening ribs are located in the inserting hole and disposed between the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion. 
     
     
         9 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein the male buckle body comprising:
 a frame body comprising two first rod portions and two second rod portions, the two first rod portions connected to the two second rod portions to form a rectangle, wherein one of the two first rod portions is configured for connecting the two engaging portions; and   a horizontal rod connected between the two second rod portions, the horizontal rod having a plurality of jagged structures facing towards the one of the two first rod portions.   
     
     
         10 . The buckle device of  claim 1 , wherein the actuating portion has a light-emitting element.
