Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tool technology, and in particular to a clip for an awning. Background Art

[0002] As a common tool commonly used by people, clips have a wide range of uses. Awning clips are mainly used in various natural scenes such as outdoor awnings and speedboats, so awning clips are often faced with strong winds in the wild or strong winds when speedboats are started. This requires the clips to have strong stability so that their connections can withstand strong winds.

[0003] The existing awnings are connected by Velcro, which has good connection ability, but the Velcro needs to be sewn on the awning first, so that the connection part is relatively fixed and there is no free space, and the part with thorns on the Velcro will damage the fabric of the awning and reduce the service life of the awning. In addition, for outdoor awnings, barbecue smoke will gather on the top of the awning. In addition to the sunshade needs, outdoor awnings also have breathability needs such as smoke dispersion and ventilation. The good sealing performance of Velcro cannot meet this requirement.

[0004] The clips in the prior art also use springs to keep the clamping mouth in a closed state, and the user applies external force to open the clamping mouth to achieve a clamping connection. However, due to the volatility of the spring, the clip is not only easily affected by accidental touch and the clamping state is also affected by changes in the clamped object, thereby making the clamping effect of the clip unsatisfactory.

[0005] In order to maintain the stability of the clamping connection of the awning and improve the freedom and air permeability of the clamping connection of the awning, we propose a clip for the awning. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to maintain the stability of the clamping connection of the awning and improve the stability and air permeability of the clamping connection of the awning, the present application provides a clip for the awning.

[0007] The present application provides a sunshade clip using the following technical solution:

[0008] A clip for a sunshade comprises a clip body connected to the sunshade and a switch, wherein the clip body is connected to the switch so that the switch controls the opening and closing of the clip body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the switch can be of knob type, push type, plug-in type, etc. The clamp cannot open and close by itself and must be controlled by the switch. The user manually controls the switch to control the opening and closing of the clamp. Therefore, the clamping mouth of the clamp will not change by itself. On the one hand, it makes it difficult for accidental touch to occur. On the other hand, even if the state of the clamped object changes, the clamping mouth angle will not change, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping effect of the awning clamp. The clip can be clamped on any part, which makes the clip free, and the clamp itself will have a gap, so that air permeability is guaranteed.

[0010] Preferably, a limiter is provided on the clamping body and / or the switch, and the limiter limits the relative position of the switch and the clamping body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the user controls the switch to clamp or release the object, the clamp body and the switch cannot move by themselves due to the action of the limiting member, which is beneficial to strengthening the stability of the connection between the clamp body and the switch.

[0012] Preferably, the clamp body is divided into a first clamp and a second clamp, one end of the first clamp is connected to one end of the second clamp, the other end of the first clamp and the other end of the second clamp form a clamp opening, and the clamp opening is open.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first clamp body and the second clamp body are in a "U" shape to form a clamp body, and the clamp body itself is open in a natural state, with a simple structure and easy production.

[0014] Preferably, the first clamp and the second clamp are both provided with through holes, one end of the switch has an axon, the switch passes through the through hole of the first clamp and is connected to the through hole of the second clamp.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the switch limits the position of the first clamp through the axon, and the switch changes the distance between the first clamp and the second clamp by the degree of connection with the second clamp, thereby changing the opening and closing of the clamp (or the switch limits the position of the second clamp, and changes the opening size of the clamp by changing the distance between the axon and the first clamp).

[0016] Preferably, a countersunk hole is formed at one end of the switch, and the countersunk hole of the switch is bolted to the through hole of the second clamp.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the bolt connection is convenient for limiting the connection position between the second clamp and the switch, thereby facilitating the switch to adjust the opening and closing of the clamp between the first clamp and the second clamp. The bolt connection is firm and difficult to change without external force, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the clamping effect of the awning clamp.

[0018] Preferably, the second clamp is provided with a cylindrical protrusion at the position of the through hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the switch is inserted into the cylindrical protrusion, and the cylindrical protrusion limits the position of the switch, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the switch and the clamp body. The user then connects the through hole of the second clamp body and the countersunk hole of the switch through bolts, thereby making the cylindrical protrusion limit the radial position relationship of the switch, and the bolt limit the axial position relationship of the switch. In addition, the cylindrical protrusion can also limit the distance between the first clamp and the second clamp to be too close, thereby preventing the first clamp and the second clamp from being too close and causing damage to their connection.

[0020] Preferably, the limiting member is arranged on the clamping body and the switch, and the limiting member is an arc-shaped protrusion, the arc-shaped protrusion has an inclined surface, and a groove or a protrusion is provided on the arc-shaped inclined surface.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamp body is in the open and closed state, the second clamp body is tightly connected to one end of the switch, and the user controls the switch to rotate upward, so that the distance between the first clamp body and the second clamp body is shortened, and the inclined surface of the upper limit piece of the switch moves upward along the inclined surface of the upper limit piece of the clamp body. After a period of time, the protrusion of the switch limit piece slides into the groove of the clamp body limit piece, so that the clamp body and the switch are stably connected. Due to the action of the limiting piece, the clamp body and the switch cannot move by themselves, which is beneficial to strengthening the stability of the connection between the clamp body and the switch.

[0022] Preferably, one side of the groove has an inclination angle.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user wants to open the clamp through the switch, the user rotates the switch, and the protrusion on the switch slides out conveniently from the side wall of the groove with an inclined angle, ensuring the convenience of the user in using the awning clip.

[0024] Preferably, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are provided with teeth on the inner wall forming one end of the clamping opening.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the teeth increase the tightness of the clamping jaws in biting objects.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. The user controls the opening and closing of the clamp body by manually controlling the switch, so the clamp mouth of the clamp body will not change automatically. On the one hand, it is difficult to cause accidental touch. On the other hand, even if the state of the clamped object changes, the clamp mouth angle will not change, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping effect of the awning clamp. The clamp can be clamped at any part, making the clamp free, and the clamp itself will have a gap, so as to ensure air permeability;

[0028] 2. The bolt connection is convenient for defining the connection position between the second clamp and the switch, thereby facilitating the switch to adjust the opening and closing of the clamp between the first clamp and the second clamp. The bolt connection is firm and difficult to change without external force, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the clamping effect of the awning clamp;

[0029] 3. When the clamp is in the open and closed state, the second clamp is tightly connected to one end of the switch, and the user controls the switch to rotate upward, so that the distance between the first clamp and the second clamp is shortened, and the inclined surface of the upper limit member of the switch moves upward along the inclined surface of the upper limit member of the clamp. After a period of time, the protrusion of the switch limit member slides into the groove of the clamp limit member, so that the clamp and the switch are stably connected. The clamp and the switch cannot move by themselves due to the action of the limit member, which is conducive to strengthening the stability of the connection between the clamp and the switch; BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] The embodiment of the present application discloses a clip for a sunshade awning.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , including a clamp body 1 and a switch 2, the clamp body 1 is provided with a through hole 7, and the switch 2 is connected to the through hole 7 to control the opening and closing of the clamp body 1.

[0039] The clamp body 1 includes a first clamp 4 and a second clamp 5. The first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 are placed parallel to each other. One end of the first clamp 4 is integrally connected to one end of the second clamp 5, and the connection is a smooth arc. The other end of the first clamp 4 and the other end of the second clamp 5 form a clamp 6. The end distance between the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 near the clamp 6 is smaller than the distance between the other positions of the two, so that when the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 approach each other, the clamp 6 is the first contact point between the two. The inner walls of the ends of the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 are provided with a plurality of teeth 13, and the teeth 13 of the two can be staggered and interlocked to increase the tightness of the clamp 6 biting the object, and the teeth 13 of the two have a small section of plane near the end of the two, and the plane is conducive to the flatness of the fabric at the clamp 6 of the first clamp body 1 and the second clamp body 1.

[0040] Through holes 7 are provided on the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5, and the positions of the through holes 7 of the first clamp 4 correspond to those of the through holes 7 of the second clamp 5. The second clamp 5 is integrally connected with a cylindrical protrusion 8 near the first clamp 4. One end of the switch 2 has an axle protrusion 14, and the other end is provided with a countersunk hole 17. The end of the switch 2 with the countersunk hole 17 is inserted into the through hole 7 of the first clamp 4 and is bolted to the through hole 7 of the second clamp 5. The user can also fix the connection by bolts, and then clamp another object through the clamp to achieve the connection of the two objects. The end of the switch 2 connected to the second clamp 5 is located in the cylindrical protrusion 8, which limits the radial position of the switch 2, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the switch 2 and the clamp body 1. The bolt connection is firm and it is difficult to change without external force, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the clamping effect of the awning clamp.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The upper side of the first clamp 4 is integrally connected to a limiting member 3, which is a circular arc-shaped protrusion 9 symmetrical in center, an arc-shaped inclined surface 10 is provided on the upper side of the arc-shaped protrusion 9, and a triangular groove 11 is also provided on the upper side of the arc-shaped protrusion 9, one side of the groove 11 has an inclination, and the other side is a vertical surface, and the lower side of the axle protrusion 14 of the switch 2 is also integrally connected to a limiting member 3, which is a circular arc-shaped protrusion 9 symmetrical in center, an arc-shaped inclined surface 10 is provided on the upper side of the arc-shaped protrusion 9, and a triangular protrusion 12 is integrally connected to the upper side of the arc-shaped protrusion 9, and the diameter of the arc-shaped protrusion 9 on the first clamp 4 is consistent with the diameter of the arc on the switch 2. When the clamp body 1 is in a naturally opened and closed state, the second clamp body 1 is stably connected to one end of the switch 2 by bolts. When the user rotates the switch 2 upward, the inclined surface 10 of the limit piece 3 on the switch 2 moves upward along the inclined surface 10 of the limit piece 3 on the clamp body 1, so that the opening of the clamp body 1 is gradually closed. After a period of time, the protrusion 12 of the limit piece 3 of the switch 2 slides into the groove 11 of the limit piece 3 of the clamp body 1, so that the clamp body 1 and the switch 2 are still in a closed state and will not move, thereby maintaining the tight connection of the awning clip during use. The inclination angle of the side of the groove 11 facilitates the protrusion 12 on the switch 2 to slide out from the side wall of the groove 11 with the inclination angle, thereby ensuring the convenience of the user in controlling the opening and closing of the awning clip, and the vertical side wall of the groove 11 hinders the switch 2 from continuing to rotate upward, thereby preventing the switch 2 from separating from the clamp body 1.

[0042] The switch 2 is integrally connected with a cylindrical baffle 15 on the peripheral side of the arc-shaped protrusion 9. The cylindrical baffle 15 and the axon 14 form a cover. The cover blocks the connection between the arc-shaped protrusion 9 on the switch 2 and the arc-shaped protrusion 9 on the first clamp 4, thereby ensuring the overall beauty of the awning clip and preventing foreign objects from entering the area of ​​the limit member 3 to interfere with the connection between the two limit members 3. A rotating plate 16 is integrally connected with the upper side of the switch 2. The rotating plate 16 facilitates the user to twist the switch 2, thereby facilitating the closing or opening of the awning clip.

[0043] refer to Figure 4 The awning includes an awning body 18 and a support rod 19. The awning body 18 is sleeved on the support rod 19. Edge strips 20 are sewn on both sides of the awning body 18. The awning is connected to side curtains 21 at the position of the edge strips 20 by clips. The side curtains 21 are conducive to expanding the area of ​​the awning that blocks sunlight. The bolts of the clip pass through the side curtains 21 and are threadedly connected to the countersunk holes 17 of the switch 2. The clip clamps itself on the edge strip 20 of the awning body 18 through the clamping opening 6, so that the side curtain 21 can be stably connected to one side of the awning body 18, and the user drives the limiter 3 to close the clamping opening 6 by turning the switch 2 of the clip. After the protrusion 12 of the limiter 3 of the switch 2 is engaged with the groove 11 of the limiter 3 of the clamp body 1, the clip is stably clamped on the edge strip 20.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a groove 11 may be provided on the limit member 3 of the switch 2, and a protrusion 12 may be integrally connected to the limit member 3 of the first clamp 4 (or a portion of the limit member 3 of the switch 2 or the limit member 3 of the first clamp 4 is the protrusion 12 and a portion is the groove 11).

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 mainly lies in the connection method between the switch 2 and the clamp body 1. A thread is provided in the through hole 7 of the second clamp 5. The switch 2 is rod-shaped, with an axon 14 at one end of the switch 2 and a thread provided at the other end. The threaded end of the switch 2 is inserted into the through hole 7 of the first clamp 4 and is threadedly connected to the through hole 7 of the second clamp 5. The switch 2 limits the position of the first clamp 4 through the axon 14, and the switch 2 can conveniently adjust the distance between the second clamp 5 and the first clamp 4 through the thread.

[0047] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a cylindrical protrusion 8 is integrally connected to the through hole 7 of the second clamp 5. The second clamp 5 itself is relatively thin. The cylindrical protrusion 8 increases the thread length of the second through hole 7, increases the length at which the second clamp 5 and the switch 2 can be connected, and thus increases the tightness with which the second clamp 5 and the switch 2 can be connected. The cylindrical protrusion 8 can also prevent the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 from being too close, thereby limiting the distance between the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5, and preventing the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 from being too close and thus causing damage to their connection.

[0048] The implementation principle of a clip for an awning disclosed in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the clamp body 1 is overall in a "U" shape, the switch 2 passes through the through hole 7 of the clamp body 1, one end of the switch 2 is bolted to the second clamp body 1, and can be connected to the object to be clamped by bolts, the other end of the switch 2 is integrally connected to the first clamp body 1 with a limiting member 3, the limiting member 3 is an arc-shaped protrusion 9, and the distance between the two is controlled by the arc-shaped protrusion 9, and because the position of the other end of the switch 2 and the first clamp body 1 remains unchanged, the opening of the clamp body 1 changes, and the limiting member 3 is provided with a groove 11 and a protrusion 12, and the two are limited by the groove 11 and the protrusion 12, thereby ensuring that the opening of the clamp body 1 remains unchanged.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
