Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cable tie for bundling wire harnesses, and more specifically to a retractable composite cable tie. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical equipment often contains numerous wire harnesses, which are typically bundled together using cable ties for easy management. However, conventional cable ties are difficult to separate after binding and cannot be easily reused.

[0003] Currently, most cable tie structures used in technology are unidirectional self-locking cable ties, relying on the cooperation between the buckle and the tie body for locking. These cable ties cannot move in reverse or unlock, thus they can only be used once, resulting in serious waste and contamination. A few are slip-on cable ties, where the buckle and the tie head are flexibly connected. Unlocking requires holding down the buckle, which is inconvenient. Due to the flexible connection structure, reliability is insufficient, posing a safety risk. Both of these types of cable ties have the buckle and tie head integrated, and the tie body can only pass through the tie head once, with the excess being cut off, resulting in waste. Even if the remaining part can be unlocked, its utilization rate is low. To solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a composite cable tie that is not only simple in structure and easy to operate, but also ensures the stability of the locking joint, is reusable, and improves utilization without causing waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a removable composite cable tie that is not only simple in structure and easy to operate, but also ensures the stability of the locking joint, is reusable, improves utilization, and avoids waste. It achieves cable tie release and unbinding through the cooperation of the cable tie buckle and the tension gear, and facilitates the binding and unbinding of materials in a compact space.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is: a retractable composite cable tie, the innovation of which lies in: including a cable tie connector, a cable tie lock, and a tightening gear.

[0006] Both the cable tie lock and the tension gear are located inside the cable tie connector. The cable tie lock is slidably engaged with the cable tie connector, and the tension gear is rotatably connected to the cable tie connector, and meshes with the cable tie lock.

[0007] The cable tie connector is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the cable tie body, and the cable tie connector is provided with a cable tie through hole.

[0008] The free end of the cable tie body passes through the cable tie hole of the cable tie connector, and by rotating the tension gear, the cable tie buckle slides relative to the cable tie connector and abuts against a portion of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, thereby achieving the binding of materials and the locking of the cable tie body.

[0009] Rotating the tension gear in the opposite direction causes the cable tie buckle to slide in the opposite direction relative to the cable tie connector and separate from part of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, thereby releasing the locking of the cable tie body and allowing the cable tie body to exit along the cable tie, thus untying the material.

[0010] The above technical solution also includes a cable tie fixing seat, which is fixed to the bottom of the cable tie connector and is used to fix the cable tie connector to the material to be tied.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the cable tie fixing seat includes a threaded connector and a fixed connector that are integrated together. The threaded connector is screwed into the threaded mounting hole at the bottom of the cable tie connector. The outer peripheral wall of the fixed connector is provided with a skirt that is arranged around it for fixing to the material to be tied.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the inside of the cable tie connector is provided with a cable tie locking groove and a tension gear groove. The cable tie locking is located in the cable tie locking groove, and the tension gear is located in the tension gear groove. They are rotatably connected to the cable tie connector through a pin. At the same time, part of the structure of the tension gear is exposed on the outside of the cable tie connector.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the cable tie connector has guide grooves on both sides of the cable tie buckle groove that form a guiding and positioning cooperation with the cable tie buckle.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the cable tie lock includes a cable tie locking part and a gear meshing part that are integrated together. The cable tie locking part has cable tie locking teeth that can lock with the cable tie body, and the gear meshing part has a gear groove that meshes with a tensioning gear.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the cable tie buckle has an overall T-shaped structure.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the two sides of the cable tie connector are respectively provided with a cable tie head connecting pin and a cable tie head connecting groove. When multiple cable tie connectors are used together, the cable tie head connecting pin of one cable tie connector is inserted into the cable tie head connecting groove of another cable tie connector adjacent to it.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the multiple cable tie head connecting pins and multiple cable tie head connecting grooves on both sides of the cable tie connector are arranged in an equilateral triangle.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the cable tie body is provided with a locking groove that can be locked with the cable tie buckle.

[0019] The positive effects of this invention are: By using the retractable composite cable tie of this invention, since this invention includes a cable tie connector, a cable tie lock, and a tightening / loosening gear,

[0020] Both the cable tie lock and the tension gear are located inside the cable tie connector. The cable tie lock is slidably engaged with the cable tie connector, and the tension gear is rotatably connected to the cable tie connector, and meshes with the cable tie lock.

[0021] The cable tie connector is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the cable tie body, and the cable tie connector is provided with a cable tie through hole.

[0022] The free end of the cable tie body passes through the cable tie hole of the cable tie connector, and by rotating the tension gear, the cable tie buckle slides relative to the cable tie connector and abuts against a portion of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, thereby achieving the binding of materials and the locking of the cable tie body.

[0023] Rotating the tension gear in the opposite direction causes the cable tie lock to slide in the opposite direction relative to the cable tie connector and separate from part of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, releasing the lock on the cable tie body and allowing the cable tie body to exit along the cable tie, thus unbinding the material.

[0024] The cable tie lock of this invention can move within the cable tie connector, so the cable tie body can pass through the cable tie connector multiple times to achieve multi-turn locking, preserving the original length of the cable tie as much as possible and improving the reuse rate; the locking point between the cable tie lock and the cable tie body can have a large locking force; the cable tie lock can move into the slot of the cable tie connector, making it convenient to unlock and remove the cable tie, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0025] In summary, after the cable tie of the present invention locks the material, it can be untied and released through the cooperation of the cable tie buckle and the tension gear. At the same time, the present invention also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation. It solves the drawbacks of most unidirectional self-locking cable ties in the prior art that cannot move in reverse and unlock. It also solves the defects of some swivel cable tie structures that require pressing the buckle continuously when unlocking, which is inconvenient. In addition, the present invention can also ensure the stability of the locking joint, is reusable, improves utilization rate, and avoids waste. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the given embodiments, but is not limited thereto.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a retractable composite cable tie includes a cable tie connector 1, a cable tie buckle 2, and a tensioning gear 3.

[0033] Both the cable tie lock 2 and the tension gear 3 are located inside the cable tie connector 1. The cable tie lock 2 is slidably engaged with the cable tie connector 1, and the tension gear 3 is rotatably connected to the cable tie connector 1, and the tension gear 3 meshes with the cable tie lock 2.

[0034] The cable tie connector 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the cable tie body 5, and the cable tie connector 1 is provided with a cable tie through hole 10.

[0035] The free end of the cable tie body 5 passes through the cable tie hole 10 of the cable tie connector 1, and the tensioning gear 3 is rotated to make the cable tie buckle 2 slide relative to the cable tie connector 1 and abut against a portion of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole 10, thereby achieving the binding of materials and the locking of the cable tie body 5.

[0036] Rotate the tension gear 3 in the opposite direction to make the cable tie buckle 2 slide in the opposite direction relative to the cable tie connector 1 and separate from part of the cable tie inside the cable tie through hole 10, thereby releasing the locking of the cable tie body and allowing the cable tie body to exit along the cable tie through hole, thus realizing the untying of the material.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, to facilitate operation in a compact space, a cable tie fixing seat 4 is also included. The cable tie fixing seat 4 is fixed to the bottom of the cable tie connector 1 and is used to fix the cable tie connector 1 to the material to be tied. Specifically, the cable tie fixing seat 4 of the present invention is fixed to one side of the material to be tied in advance, so that it can be operated conveniently in a compact space and prevent the cable tie from being leaked into the gap due to space limitations during operation.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, in order to facilitate connection with the cable tie connector and to more stably fix it to one side of the material to be bundled, the cable tie fixing seat 4 includes a threaded connector and a fixing connector that are integrated. The threaded connector is screwed into the threaded mounting hole at the bottom of the cable tie connector 1. The outer peripheral wall of the fixing connector is provided with an umbrella skirt 41 arranged around it to fix it to the material to be bundled, ensuring the firmness of the fixing connector on the material to be bundled and preventing it from falling off.

[0039] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, in order to facilitate the positioning and assembly of various components, the inside of the cable tie connector 1 is provided with a cable tie locking groove and a tension gear groove. The cable tie locking 2 is located in the cable tie locking groove, and the tension gear 3 is located in the tension gear groove and is rotatably connected to the cable tie connector 1 through a pin. At the same time, part of the structure of the tension gear 3 is exposed on the outside of the cable tie connector 1.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to improve the positioning connection between the cable tie connector and the cable tie buckle, the cable tie connector 1 has guide grooves on both sides of the cable tie buckle groove that form a guiding and positioning cooperation with the cable tie buckle 2.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to make the structure more reasonable, the cable tie lock 2 includes a cable tie locking part 21 and a gear meshing part 22 that are integrated together. The cable tie locking part 21 has cable tie locking teeth 211 that can lock with the cable tie body 5, and the gear meshing part 22 has a gear groove 221 that meshes with the tensioning gear 3.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cable tie buckle 2 has an overall T-shaped structure.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to enable the use of multiple cable tie connectors, the cable tie connector 1 is provided with cable tie head connecting pins 11 and cable tie head connecting grooves 12 on both sides. When multiple cable tie connectors are used together, the cable tie head connecting pin 11 of one cable tie connector 1 is inserted into the cable tie head connecting groove 12 of the adjacent cable tie connector 1, which ensures the connection accuracy of multiple cable tie connectors and prevents loosening. When the bottom of the cable tie connector 1 is provided with a cable tie fixing seat, one cable tie fixing seat can be used with multiple cable tie heads, which can reduce material waste and facilitate the bundling operation.

[0044] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the connection when multiple cable tie connectors are used together, the multiple cable tie head connecting pins 11 and multiple cable tie head connecting grooves 12 on both sides of the cable tie connector 1 are arranged in an equilateral triangle.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Figure 3, in order to further improve the binding and locking progress of the cable ties, the cable tie body 5 is provided with a locking groove 51 that can be locked with the cable tie buckle 2.

[0046] If this invention is applied in a compact space, before use, the cable tie fixing seat 4 at the bottom of the cable tie connector 1 is fixed to one side of the material to be bundled. Then, the free end of the cable tie body is passed through the cable tie hole of the cable tie connector 1, and the tensioning gear 3 is rotated to make the cable tie buckle 2 slide relative to the cable tie connector 1 and abut against part of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, thereby achieving the binding of the material and the locking of the cable tie body.

[0047] Rotating the tension gear 3 in the opposite direction causes the cable tie buckle 2 to slide in the opposite direction relative to the cable tie connector 1 and separate from part of the cable tie inside the cable tie hole, thereby releasing the locking of the cable tie body and allowing the cable tie body to exit along the cable tie, thus untying the material.

[0048] Therefore, after the cable ties secure the materials, they can be released by the cable tie buckle and the tension gear. If multiple cable ties are needed, the cable tie head connector with its connecting pin and slot allows one cable tie holder to work with multiple connectors, improving cable tie utilization and significantly reducing resource waste. Furthermore, this invention has advantages such as simple structure, easy operation, and reusability.

[0049] Therefore, the cable tie lock of the present invention can move within the cable tie connector, so the cable tie body can pass through the cable tie connector multiple times to achieve multi-turn locking, preserving the original length of the cable tie as much as possible and improving the reuse rate; the locking part between the cable tie lock and the cable tie body has a multi-tooth engagement structure, which not only ensures reliable locking but also has a large locking force; the cable tie lock can move into the slot of the cable tie connector, making it convenient to unlock and remove the cable tie, and the operation is simple and convenient; the cable tie connector can be optionally equipped with a fixing seat for convenient use in narrow spaces.

[0050] In summary, after the cable tie of the present invention locks the material, it can be untied and released through the cooperation of the cable tie buckle and the tension gear. At the same time, the present invention also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation. It solves the drawbacks of most unidirectional self-locking cable ties in the prior art that cannot move in reverse and unlock. It also solves the defects of some swivel cable tie structures that require pressing the buckle continuously when unlocking, which is inconvenient. In addition, the present invention can also ensure the stability of the locking joint, is reusable, improves utilization rate, and avoids waste.

[0051] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
