In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application provides a fastening clamp 100, which is mainly aimed at the installation and use of convenient and detachable fitness equipment. Since there is no unified industry standard for the rack used to fix fitness equipment in the current fitness equipment industry, the length and width of the cross-section of the rack crossbar of each manufacturer do not have a fixed standard, which may cause the fitness equipment to be unable to be installed on the rack for use. Therefore, the present application provides a fastening clamp 100 that can adapt to racks of different sizes and models to facilitate the installation and use of fitness equipment.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The clamping clamp 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a first body 11, a second body 12 and a cushion block 21. The first body 11 and the second body 12 are fastened together, and an external through hole 13 is opened on the contact surface of the first body 11 and the second body 12, wherein the external through hole 13 is opened on the first body 11 or on the second body 12, or partially opened on the first body 11 and partially opened on the second body 12, and the external through hole 13 is used to clamp the cross bar; the cushion block 21 is located between the first body 11 and the second body 12, and the cushion block 21 is partially or completely located in the external through hole 13.

[0031] In the fastening clamp 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the fastening connection between the first body 11 and the second body 12 can clamp the cross bar of the frame in the external through hole 13, and the cushion block 21 can fill the gap between the cross bars of different diameters in the external through hole 13, and provide deformation elastic force to assist the external through hole 13 to clamp the cross bar. The cushion block 21 can further enhance the clamping force between the first body 11 and the second body 12 and the cross bar, thereby enabling the fastening clamp 100 to better adapt to the bracket of the cross bar of different diameters by the separate fastening of the first body 11 and the second body 12.

[0032] Specifically, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can be made of metal material, and the two can be fastened and connected relative to each other. An external through hole 13 can be provided on one side of the contact surface where the first body 11 and the second body 12 are fastened relative to each other. The aperture shape of the external through hole 13 can be circular, elliptical or rectangular, etc., and can be adapted according to the shape of the cross bar, and this application does not limit this.

[0033] Among them, the external through hole 13 can be understood as a through groove opened on the opposite buckling sides of the first body 11 and the second body 12, so that when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled, a through external through hole 13 can be formed between the two, which can be used to hold the cross bar.

[0034] Of course, in some other embodiments, the outer through hole 13 can also be formed separately on the first body 11 or the second body 12. In this case, the side of the outer through hole 13 is connected to the outside of the first body 11 or the second body 12, so that the cross bar can be inserted into the outer through hole 13 from the side and pressed by the other body. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled together, the cross bar can be tightly held in the outer through hole 13. The present application does not limit the specific opening position of the outer through hole 13.

[0035] The pad 21 can be made of plastic or other materials. The pad 21 can be located between the first body 11 and the second body 12. The pad 21 is mainly used to provide deformation elasticity and increase the friction between the first body 11 and the second body 12 and the crossbar after being tightly clamped, thereby increasing the clamping force on the crossbar and preventing the clamp 100 from loosening when the fitness equipment is installed for fitness, thereby affecting the fitness experience.

[0036] Preferably, the pad 21 can be set on the inner wall of the outer through hole 13, and can completely cover the inner wall of the outer through hole 13, or can partially cover the inner wall of the outer through hole 13, so that after the first body 11 and the second body 12 are clamped, the cross bar can be clamped more tightly through the pad 21. The present application does not limit the specific setting position of the pad 21.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, one of the first body 11 and the second body 12 is provided with a baffle 14 , and the outer contour of the other is at least partially consistent with the inner contour of the baffle 14 .

[0038] In this way, the enclosure 14 can provide a channel to guide the first body 11 and the second body 12 to buckle together. When the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled together, the enclosure 14 can make the two accurately docked to avoid misalignment during buckling. At the same time, the enclosure 14 can cover the gap between the first body 11 and the second body 12, making the state of the two after buckling more complete, improving the sealing, preventing dust from falling into the gap, and improving the user experience.

[0039] Specifically, the enclosure 14 may be a plate-like or sheet-like structure, extending from the outer edge of the first body 11 or the second body 12 in opposite directions, and the enclosure 14 encloses an assembly space. The inner contour of the enclosure 14 is at least partially compatible with the outer contour of the body without the enclosure 14.

[0040] That is, when the first body 11 is formed with the enclosure 14, the second body 12 can be installed in the assembly space, and the outer wall of the second body 12 fits snugly with the inner wall of the enclosure 14. Furthermore, the second body 12 and the first body 11 can be precisely aligned when they are snap-fitted, facilitating the snap-fitting connection of the two.

[0041] Furthermore, when the diameter of the cross bar is larger than the diameter of the outer through hole 13, after the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled together, there will be a gap between the contact surfaces of the two. The setting of the enclosure 14 can cover the gap between the two, improve the integrity after assembly, avoid or to a certain extent avoid dust from entering, and improve the user experience.

[0042] Of course, in some embodiments, the enclosure 14 can also be set at any position at the corner or outer edge of the first body 11 or the second body 12, and it is sufficient to limit the accurate alignment of the first body 11 and the second body 12 when they are buckled. The present application does not limit the specific formation position of the enclosure 14.

[0043] See also Figure 2-Figure 4 In some embodiments, one of the first body 11 and the second body 12 is provided with a guide column 16 , and the other is provided with a guide structure 17 , and the guide column 16 and the guide structure 17 are slidably matched.

[0044] In this way, when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled together, the cooperation between the guide column 16 and the guide structure 17 can make the two accurately docked, thereby avoiding misalignment during buckling.

[0045] Specifically, the guide column 16 can be arranged on one side of the contact surface of the first body 11 or the second body 12. The guide column 16 can be formed in a columnar structure on both sides of the external through hole 13 and extend toward the direction of the relative body. Correspondingly, the guide structure 17 can be arranged at the corresponding position of the other body and the guide column 16. The guide structure 17 can be a hole-shaped structure, a groove-shaped structure, etc. The present application does not limit the specific structure of the guide structure 17. The guide column 16 and the guide structure 17 can be relatively slidably matched to guide the buckling between the first body 11 and the second body 12.

[0046] The number of guide posts 16 and guide structures 17 can be two, three or four, etc., and the number and position of the two correspond to each other. The present application does not limit the number and specific position of the guide posts 16 and guide structures 17.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first body 11 and the second body 12 are connected by bolts. In this way, the connection and disassembly between the first body 11 and the second body 12 is convenient and quick, and the connection stability is good.

[0048] Specifically, a through hole may be provided on the first body 11, and a screw hole may be provided on the second body 12 at a position corresponding to the through hole. After the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled and connected, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can be fastened together by passing the screw through the through hole and matching with the screw hole, and the bolt connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the two more convenient and the stability is also better. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first body 11 and the second body 12 can also be connected by means of buckles, straps, etc., and this application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the bolt connection is located at the four corners of the first body 11 and / or the second body 12. In this way, the connection between the first body 11 and the second body 12 is more stable and firm. At the same time, being located at the four corners will not affect the tight connection between the outer through hole 13 and the crossbar.

[0050] Of course, in some other embodiments, the bolts may also be arranged at diagonal positions or opposite sides, and the present application does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0051] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first body 11 and / or the second body 12 is provided with a mounting groove 15 , and the pad 21 is located in the mounting groove 15 .

[0052] In this way, the setting of the installation groove 15 can limit the position of the cushion block 21 on the first main body 11 and the second main body 12, so that the cushion block 21 can be stably installed between the main body and the cross bar, avoiding the cushion block 21 from falling off when the fastening clamp 100 moves its position, affecting the next installation and use. The setting of the installation groove 15 can increase the volume of the cushion block 21, and then the cushion block 21 can undergo more deformation to adapt to cross bars of more sizes.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting groove 15 can be formed on one side of the contact surface opposite to the first body 11 and / or the second body 12, and the shape of the mounting groove 15 is adapted to the shape of the cushion block 21, that is, the cushion block 21 can be tightly installed in the mounting groove 15 to prevent the cushion block 21 from falling off when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are separated.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pad 21 is a polymer material such as rubber or resin. In this way, the friction between the cross bar and the pad 21 will be greater, and the rigid contact between the two and the scratching of the cross bar surface can be effectively avoided.

[0055] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 In some embodiments, the pad 21 has an inner through hole 22, and the diameter of the inner through hole 22 is smaller than the outer through hole 13. In this way, the pad 21 can squeeze the cross bar and increase the friction between the two, so as to avoid the loosening of the fastening clamp 100 when installing the fitness equipment for fitness and affecting the fitness experience.

[0056] Specifically, after the cushion block 21 is assembled to the mounting groove 15, the position of the inner through hole 22 corresponds to the position of the outer through hole 13, and after the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled, the aperture of the inner through hole 22 is smaller than the aperture of the outer through hole 13. In other words, when the first body 11 and the second body 12 are buckled, the cushion block 21 first contacts the cross bar, and the cushion block 21 is squeezed during the tightening process. The inner through hole 22 is deformed while wrapping the cross bar, increasing the elastic deformation force and the contact area, so that the friction between the cushion block 21 and the cross bar is greater, thereby better preventing the tightening clamp 100 from rotating or shaking relative to the cross bar.

[0057] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 In some embodiments, there are two pads 21, which are respectively located in the mounting groove 15 of the first body 11 and the mounting groove 15 of the second body 12. In this way, the two pads 21 can better wrap the crossbar, the pads 21 squeeze the crossbar, and the inner through hole 22 deforms while wrapping the crossbar, increasing the elastic deformation force and the contact area, thereby increasing the friction between the crossbar and the crossbar.

[0058] In some embodiments, the pad 21 is slidably installed in the installation groove 15, and the sliding direction is the same as the fastening direction. In this way, the installation groove 15 can provide a guide for the deformation of the pad 21, so that the deformation direction and the deformation elastic force direction of the pad are the same as the fastening direction, which can better absorb the extrusion deformation and provide a more stable deformation force. At the same time, when the pad 21 is worn and needs to be replaced or a pad 21 with a different thickness is replaced, the pad 21 can be replaced more conveniently.

[0059] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 In some embodiments, the fastening clamp 100 further includes a quick-release base 31 , which is used to connect to fitness equipment and is disposed on the first body 11 or the second body 12 .

[0060] In this way, the fitness equipment can be installed on the fastening clamp 100 through the quick-release base 31. Installing the fastening clamp 100 on the crossbar of the frame can more conveniently realize the function of fitness at any position, thereby improving the user's fitness experience.

[0061] Specifically, the quick release base 31 can be installed on the side of the first body 11 or the second body 12 opposite to the contact surface, so that the fitness equipment will not affect the buckling of the fastening clamp 100 after installation. The quick release base 31 can be installed on the first body 11 or the second body 12 by bolts, clamping, etc., and the present application does not limit the installation method between the quick release base 31 and the body.

[0062] In summary, the fastening clamp 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be installed on cross bars of different diameters, so that users can have more choices in fitness methods, thereby improving the user's fitness experience.
