Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fixing clip, and more particularly to a strap fixing clip for attaching a strap and clamping it to a fixed object, such as a rod. Background Technology

[0002] Cable ties (also known as cable ties, wire ties, etc.) are used to bundle and secure strip-shaped items such as cables and wires, or to bind other objects. Therefore, cable ties are frequently used in industry and daily life. Taking a conventional plastic cable tie as an example, it includes a frame-shaped buckle with a strap extending from one side. Multiple anti-reverse teeth are provided on one side of the strap. The frame-shaped buckle also has a slot with a pawl inside. The slot allows the strap to pass back through, and the pawl selectively engages with the anti-reverse teeth, meaning the pawl grips the selected anti-reverse teeth on the strap, preventing the strap from retracting.

[0003] The structure and fastening principle of the aforementioned cable ties are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here. These cable ties are mostly made of plastic and are for single use only; that is, once fastened, they are difficult to untie unless cut or destroyed. Because these cable ties are for single use only, they result in resource waste and economic losses. In particular, their disposal after a single use further pollutes the environment and burdens the ecosystem.

[0004] In response to the lack of disposable plastic straps, those skilled in the art have developed a flexible strap, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the flexible strap 10 includes a strip 101 made of a polymer elastomer, such as silicone, with at least one flexible metal wire (not shown in the prior art) wrapped inside the strip 101, and an end 102 protruding from each end, so that the flexible strap 10 can be used to bundle and fix the above-mentioned strip-shaped items such as cables and wires, or to bind other objects, such as tools and their power cords.

[0005] In fact, the aforementioned straps are also fixed to a fixed object, such as rod 20, before being used to secure or bind the strip-shaped item or other objects. Because Figure 1 When the flexible strap 10 is wrapped around the rod 20, it tends to slide on the rod 20 and cannot be positioned, making it difficult to securely fasten or bind other objects.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide the flexible strap 10 that can be fixed to the fixture is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a strap fixing clip that can be fixedly attached to a fixed object, such as a rod. When combined, the strap fixing clip can clamp a flexible strap, allowing the two movable sections of the flexible strap to still provide the function of securing strip-shaped items or binding other objects. In particular, after being attached to the fixed object, the strap fixing clip will not loosen even under impact or vibration, thus possessing a strong and durable fixing function.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a strap fixing clip, comprising a first half-shell, a second half-shell, and a hinge piece connected to adjacent side edges of the first half-shell and the second half-shell and having a bending function; wherein the first half-shell and the second half-shell are joined to form a ring, the ring including an arc-shaped groove for accommodating and clamping a flexible strap, wherein the arc-shaped groove has a first opening and a second opening for the flexible strap to pass through, and the inner wall surface of the arc-shaped groove is provided with a plurality of upper ribs and a plurality of lower ribs at intervals; the ring is provided with a buckle between the first opening and the second opening for fastening to a rod, the buckle having a pair of claws extending outward from both sides, and a rod groove located between the pair of claws for the rod to be fastened into; and at least one snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided longitudinally on the outer peripheral walls of the buckle and the ring to form the joining, and each snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a hook and a groove that can be fastened to each other.

[0009] In one embodiment, the upper and lower ribs are staggered so that the flexible strap is clamped in an upper and lower clamping manner.

[0010] In one embodiment, each of the pair of grippers has an inner side surface provided with a guide bevel that is obliquely cut toward the bar groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the buckle is provided with two buckling mechanisms adjacent to each other, while the outer peripheral wall of the ring is provided with two buckling mechanisms facing each other.

[0012] In one embodiment, each hook is provided in a mortise and tenon groove, and each mortise and tenon groove is recessed on the surface of a tenon. Each tenon and tenon groove is inserted into the corresponding mortise and tenon groove, and the hook and tenon groove are engaged by the hook and tenon groove. Attached Figure Description

[0052] Those skilled in the art will understand that the features described in the various embodiments and / or claims of the present invention can be combined or combined in various ways, even if such combinations or combinations are not explicitly described in the present invention. In particular, the features described in the various embodiments and / or claims of the present invention can be combined or combined in various ways without departing from the spirit and teachings of the present invention. All such combinations and / or combinations fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the strap fixing clip 1 provided by the present invention is an insulator integrally molded from plastic injection molding, comprising a first half-shell 11, a second half-shell 12, and a hinge piece 13 connecting adjacent side edges of the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12. The hinge piece 13 has a bending function, allowing the first half-shell 11 to rotate about the hinge piece 13 as an axis toward the second half-shell 12. Conversely, the second half-shell 12 can also rotate about the hinge piece 13 as an axis toward the first half-shell 11.

[0054] The first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12, when joined together, form a C-shaped ring 14. The ring 14 includes a flexible strap 10 for accommodating and holding the strap (see [link]). Figure 3 The arc-shaped groove 15 is also C-shaped, having a first opening 151 and a second opening 152 for the flexible strap 10 to pass through. The inner wall surface of the arc-shaped groove 15, for example, the top and bottom, are provided with a plurality of upper ribs 153 and a plurality of lower ribs 154 at intervals. It is preferable that the upper ribs 153 and the lower ribs 154 are staggered so that the flexible strap 10 is clamped by the upper and lower clamps to prevent it from coming out of the arc-shaped groove 15.

[0055] Furthermore, the ring body has a buckle 16 for fastening to a fixed object, such as the rod body 20, between the first opening 151 and the second opening 152. The buckle 16 has a pair of claws 161 extending outward from both sides, and a rod groove 162 located between the pair of claws 161 for the rod body 20 to fasten into. Each of the pair of claws 161 has an inner side surface with a guide slope 163 that is obliquely cut towards the rod groove 162, so that the rod body 20 can enter along the pair of guide slopes 163 and the pair of claws 161 can elastically expand until they are fastened into the rod groove 162, so that the strap fixing clip 1 can be firmly fastened to the rod body 20.

[0056] Furthermore, to provide the docking function between the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12, at least one latching mechanism 17 is longitudinally provided on the outer peripheral wall of the buckle 16 and the ring body 14 of the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12, respectively. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the buckle 16 has two adjacent fastening mechanisms 17, while the outer peripheral wall of the ring body 14 has two opposing fastening mechanisms 17. Each fastening mechanism 17 includes a hook 171 and a groove 172 that can be fastened to each other. Please refer to [further details omitted]. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, each hook 171 is provided in a mortise 173, and each mortise 172 is recessed on the surface of a tenon 174. Each tenon 174 is inserted into the corresponding mortise 173. The hook 171 is fastened to the mortise 172 and the tenon 174 is inserted into the mortise 173, thereby providing the first half shell 11 and the second half shell 12 with anti-detachment and limiting functions.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 6 The diagram shows a flowchart of the connection between the strap fixing clip 1 and the flexible strap 10. First, the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are laid flat, and the flexible strap 10 is bent into a U-shaped strip (shown in...). Figure 3 Next, a bent portion of the flexible strap 10 is placed within the arcuate groove 15 of the second half-shell 12 (shown in...). Figure 4 Then, the first half-shell 11 is rotated toward the second half-shell 12 around the hinge piece 13 as the axis, and the hinge piece 13 is bent. This is done until each of the latching mechanisms 17 of the first half-shell 11, for example, a tenon 174 with a latching groove 172, aligns with and is inserted into the corresponding latching mechanism 17 of the second half-shell 12, for example, a tenon 173 with a latch hook 171, so that the latching groove 172 engages with the corresponding latch hook 171 (shown in...). Figure 6 This allows the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 to mate together to form the ring 14, thus completing the connection between the strap fixing clip 1 and the flexible strap 10 (shown in...). Figure 5 ).

[0058] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 6 The first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are connected by the hinge piece 13, thus preventing separation and detachment during assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the staggered upper ribs 153 and lower ribs 154 within the arc-shaped groove 15 clamp the flexible strap 10 from both above and below, preventing it from slipping out of the arc-shaped groove 15, thereby achieving a positioning and anti-slip fixing effect.

[0059] Please see Figures 7 to 9 The flowchart shows the strap retainer 1 being mounted in an electronic device 30, such as a server, to a fixed object, such as a rod 20. First, the rod groove 162 between the pair of jaws 161 of the strap retainer 1 is aligned and moved toward the rod 20 (shown in...). Figure 7 As the pair of guide ramps 163 enter the rod body 20, the pair of grippers 161 elastically expand until they engage within the rod groove 162, allowing the strap fixing clip 1 to securely fasten to the rod body 20 (shown in...). Figure 8 Finally, the two movable sections of the flexible strap 10 provide the function of securing strip-shaped items, such as cables, or binding other objects, such as power adapters (shown in...). Figure 9 ).

[0060] Therefore, the advantages of the embodiments provided by the present invention are that the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are connected by the hinge piece 13, so they will not separate or fall off during assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the upper protruding ribs 153 and lower protruding ribs 154, which are staggered within the arc-shaped groove 15, clamp the flexible strap 10 from both above and below, preventing it from coming out of the arc-shaped groove 15, thus achieving a positioning and anti-slip fixing effect. Moreover, when the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are combined, the snap-fit ​​mechanisms 17 provide accurate alignment and easy fastening, and are not prone to loosening under impact or vibration, thus possessing a strong fixing advantage.

[0061] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Although various embodiments have been described above, this does not mean that the measures in the various embodiments cannot be used advantageously in combination. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Various substitutions and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention, and all such substitutions and modifications should fall within the scope of the invention.
