[0002] A convex force sensor measures force by utilizing the force applied to its convex structure. However, due to its small size, the convex force sensor is difficult to secure during the bridging process, making bridging difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the main objective of the embodiments of this application is to provide a fixing clamp that facilitates fixing a sensor.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows: This application provides a fixing clamp, including: Base; A blocking part is disposed on the base; A pushing part is movably disposed on the base. Along the direction of movement of the pushing part, the pushing part and the blocking part are spaced apart so that a sensor installation space is formed at the interval.

[0005] In one embodiment, a portion of the base is recessed in the sensor mounting space to form a clearance groove for accommodating the force-bearing protrusions of the sensor.

[0006] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the clearance groove gradually increases in size along a first direction from the side closer to the blocking portion to the side farther from the blocking portion; wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the spacing direction between the pushing portion and the blocking portion.

[0007] In one embodiment, the base includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall located on opposite sides of the clearance groove along the first direction; from the side closer to the blocking part to the side farther away from the blocking part, the first groove wall and the second groove wall are inclined in a direction away from each other.

[0008] In one embodiment, the base further includes a first arc-shaped wall and a second arc-shaped wall located on opposite sides of the clearance groove along the interval direction. The side of the first groove wall and the second groove wall closer to the blocking part is smoothly transitioned through the first arc-shaped wall, and the side of the first groove wall and the second groove wall farther from the blocking part is smoothly transitioned through the second arc-shaped wall.

[0009] In one embodiment, the blocking portion includes a first blocking member and a second blocking member, the first blocking member and the second blocking member being spaced apart along a first direction and located on opposite sides of the clearance groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pushing part includes a pushing block and a pushing rod. The pushing block is movably disposed on the side of the sensor mounting space away from the blocking part. The pushing rod is located on the side of the pushing block away from the sensor mounting space. The pushing rod is movably connected to the base. The pushing rod includes a force-applying end away from the pushing block and a connecting end connected to the pushing block.

[0011] In one embodiment, the base includes a seat body and a fixed seat disposed on the seat body, the fixed seat having a connecting hole, and the push rod being movably inserted through the connecting hole; The connecting end of the push rod is rotatably connected to the push block, and the push rod is threadedly connected to the connecting hole; or...

[0019] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] One embodiment of this application provides a fixing clamp; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The fixing fixture includes a base 10, a blocking part 20 and a pushing part 30.

[0021] The blocking part 20 is provided on the base 10.

[0022] The pusher 30 is movably disposed on the base 10. Along the direction of movement of the pusher 30, the pusher 30 and the blocking part 20 are spaced apart so that a sensor mounting space 30a is formed at the interval.

[0023] Specifically, the base 10 is used to mount the blocking part 20 and the pushing part 30.

[0024] The arrangement of the blocking part 20 on the base 10 is not limited; it can be fixedly installed on the base 10 or movably installed on the base 10.

[0025] The blocking part 20 is a structure that can block the sensor 40, and its specific structural form is not limited. For example, it can be a pin, a baffle, etc.

[0026] The pushing part 30 and the base 10 are movably connected, and the specific connection method is not limited. For example, the pushing part 30 is slidably disposed on the base 10. Or, the pushing part 30 is slidably disposed on the base 10.

[0027] The pushing part 30 and the blocking part 20 are spaced apart, and the space between them is the sensor mounting space 30a for mounting the sensor 40. After the sensor 40 is installed in the sensor mounting space 30a, by moving the pushing part 30, the pushing part 30 and the blocking part 20 clamp the sensor 40 together, thereby fixing the sensor 40.

[0028] Furthermore, since the pusher 30 can move along the interval direction, the size of the sensor mounting space 30a along the interval direction is adjustable, thus enabling it to accommodate sensors 40 of different sizes.

[0029] In related technologies, there are dedicated custom-made fixtures for fixing convex force sensors. However, these custom-made fixtures can only be used to fix convex force sensors of a single size, which has poor versatility and greatly increases the cost.

[0030] In the fixing fixture of this application embodiment, the pushing part 30 is movably disposed on the base 10. Along the movement direction of the pushing part 30, the pushing part 30 and the blocking part 20 are spaced apart to form a sensor mounting space 30a at the interval. On one hand, the sensor mounting space 30a can be used to mount a sensor 40. The blocking part 20 and the pushing part 30 can cooperate with each other to abut against opposite sides of the sensor 40, thereby facilitating the fixing of the sensor 40. On the other hand, since the pushing part 30 is movably disposed on the base 10, the size of the sensor mounting space 30a along the movement direction of the pushing part 30 can be adjusted by moving the pushing part 30. Therefore, the sensor mounting space 30a can accommodate sensors 40 of different sizes, allowing the fixing fixture to fix sensors 40 of different sizes, thus improving the versatility of the fixing fixture.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 At the sensor mounting space 30a, a portion of the base 10 is recessed to form a relief groove 10a, which is used to accommodate the force-bearing protrusion 41 of the sensor 40.

[0032] In other words, a clearance groove 10a is formed on the base 10 in the area near the sensor mounting space 30a. When the fixing clamp is used to fix the convex force sensor 40, the fixing clamp can accommodate the force-bearing protrusion 41 of the convex force sensor 40 through the clearance groove 10a on the base 10. Therefore, the convex force sensor 40 can be better fixed on the base 10, and damage to the force-bearing protrusion 41 can be prevented.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific structural shape of the clearance groove 10a is not limited.

[0034] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 From the side closer to the blocking part 20 to the side farther away from the blocking part 20, at least a portion of the clearance groove 10a gradually increases in size along a first direction; wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the spacing direction between the pushing part 30 and the blocking part 20.

[0035] In other words, at least a portion of the clearance groove 10a gradually increases in size along the first direction away from the blocking part 20. Since the force-receiving protrusions 41 of different sized protrusion force sensors 40 are also different, by adopting a gradually increasing form, the clearance groove 10a can easily accommodate force-receiving protrusions 41 of different sizes.

[0036] It should be noted that the dimensions of the clearance groove 10a may gradually increase in the direction away from the blocking part 20, or only a portion of the clearance groove 10a may gradually increase in the direction away from the blocking part 20.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 10 includes a first groove wall 11 and a second groove wall 12 located on opposite sides of the clearance groove 10a along a first direction; from the side closer to the blocking part 20 to the side farther away from the blocking part 20, the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 are inclined in a direction away from each other.

[0038] Specifically, the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 are located on opposite sides of the clearance groove 10a along the first direction. The two groove walls are inclined to each other and gradually move away from the side away from the blocking part 20.

[0039] As a result, the space on the side of the clearance groove 10a away from the blocking part 20 is larger, which can better accommodate the force-bearing protrusions 41 of different sizes.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 10 also includes a first arc-shaped wall 13 and a second arc-shaped wall 14 located on opposite sides of the clearance groove 10a along the interval direction. The side of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 that is close to the blocking part 20 is smoothly transitioned through the first arc-shaped wall 13, and the side of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 that is away from the blocking part 20 is smoothly transitioned through the second arc-shaped wall 14.

[0041] Specifically, the first arc-shaped wall 13 and the second arc-shaped wall 14 are located on opposite sides of the clearance groove 10a along the spacing direction.

[0042] The first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 smoothly transition through the first arc-shaped wall 13 on the side near the blocking part 20. This ensures that there are no obvious folds or abrupt changes on the side of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 near the blocking part 20, making the connection between them smoother. This prevents the pushing part 30 from damaging the force-bearing protrusion 41 of the sensor 40 during the pushing process.

[0043] Similarly, the sides of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 away from the blocking part 20 are smoothly transitioned through the second arc-shaped wall 14. This ensures that there are no obvious folds or abrupt changes on the sides of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 away from the blocking part 20, making the connection between the sides of the first groove wall 11 and the second groove wall 12 away from the blocking part 20 smoother. This prevents the pushing part 30 from damaging the force-bearing protrusion 41 of the sensor 40 during the pushing process.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The blocking part 20 includes a first blocking member 21 and a second blocking member 22, which are spaced apart along a first direction and located on opposite sides of the clearance groove 10a. This allows the first blocking member 21 and the second blocking member 22 to abut against the areas on opposite sides of the sensor 40, achieving a good blocking effect.

[0045] The specific structural form of the first blocking member 21 and the second blocking member 22 is not limited. For example, both the first blocking member 21 and the second blocking member 22 can be pins.

[0046] It should be noted that since the blocking part 20 uses two blocking members spaced apart to block, it can better adapt to sensors 40 of different sizes and can better fix different sensors 40.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pushing part 30 includes a pushing block 31 and a pushing rod 32. The pushing block 31 is movably disposed on the side of the sensor mounting space 30a away from the blocking part 20. The pushing rod 32 is located on the side of the pushing block 31 away from the sensor mounting space 30a. The pushing rod 32 is movably connected to the base 10. The pushing rod 32 includes a force-applying end away from the pushing block 31 and a connecting end connected to the pushing block 31. This allows the user to easily push the pushing part 30 to fix the sensor 40.

[0048] Specifically, the push block 31 is used to push the sensor 40, so as to fix the sensor 40 by cooperating with the blocking part 20. The push rod 32 is used for the user to apply force. The end of the push rod 32 away from the push block 31 is the force-applying end for the user to apply force, while the end of the push rod 32 close to the push block 31 is the connecting end connected to the push block 31.

[0049] It should be noted that the movable connection between the push rod 32 and the base 10 is not limited.

[0050] For example, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base 10 includes a base body 15 and a fixed seat 16 disposed on the base body 15. The fixed seat 16 has a connecting hole, in which the push rod 32 is movably inserted. The connecting end of the push rod 32 is rotatably connected to the push block 31, and the push rod 32 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole.

[0051] In other words, the push rod 32 and the push block 31 are rotatable relative to each other. Therefore, the user can rotate the push rod 32, causing it to rotate relative to the fixed base 16, and push the push block 31, thus enabling the push block 31 to move. Simultaneously, since the push rod 32 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole, it effectively prevents the push part 30 from loosening, providing a good fixing effect.

[0052] For example, the base 10 includes a base body 15 and a fixed seat 16 disposed on the base body 15. The fixed seat 16 has a connecting hole, and the push rod 32 is movably inserted into the connecting hole. The connecting end of the push rod 32 is fixedly connected to the push block 31, and the push rod 32 is slidably connected to the connecting hole.

[0053] In other words, the push rod 32 and the push block 31 are relatively fixed, and the user can directly push the push rod 32 to realize the movement of the push part 30. At the same time, the above connection method facilitates processing and manufacturing.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 On the side of the push block 31 near the sensor mounting space 30a, the top side of the push block 31 has an inclined surface 31a; along the direction near the sensor mounting space 30a, the inclined surface 31a is inclined towards the bottom side.

[0055] In other words, on the side of the push block 31 closest to the sensor mounting space 30a, a portion of the top side of the push block 31 is relatively inclined. By forming the inclined surface 31a, a clearance space can be created on the top side of the push block 31 to allow the sensor 40 mounted in the sensor mounting space 30a to pass. This allows the push block 31 to push the sensor 40 through its lower region, thereby achieving a better fixing effect.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, at least a portion of the inclined surface 31a of the push block 31 is located below the plane of the top end of the blocking part 20. This facilitates better cooperation between the push block 31 and the blocking part 20, resulting in better clamping and fixing of the sensor 40.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing fixture includes multiple blocking parts 20, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The pushing part 30 includes a pushing block 31 extending along the first direction. The pushing block 31 is spaced apart from each blocking part 20 to form a sensor mounting space 30a.

[0058] In other words, the push block 31 can form sensor mounting spaces 30a with the multiple blocking parts 20 respectively. Thus, multiple sensors 40 can be pushed by one push block 31, thereby achieving the fixation of multiple sensors 40.
