[0049] The following specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings are used to illustrate the implementation manners of the connection components disclosed in the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. However, the content disclosed below is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can implement the present utility model in other different embodiments based on different viewpoints and applications. In the drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thicknesses of layers, films, panels, regions, etc. are enlarged. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals represent the same elements. It should be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or connected to the other element, or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" or "directly connected to" another element, no intervening elements are present. As used herein, "connected" can refer to physical and / or electrical connections. Furthermore, "electrically connected" or "coupled" may mean that other elements exist between two elements.

[0050] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or part from another element, component, region, layer, or part. Thus, the "first element", "component", "region", "layer", or "part" discussed below may be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or part without departing from the teachings herein.

[0051] In addition, relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another element, as shown in the figures. It should be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in addition to the orientations shown in the figures. For example, if the device in one figure is flipped, an element described as being on the "lower" side of another element will be oriented on the "upper" side of the other element. Thus, the exemplary term "lower" can include both the "lower" and "upper" orientations, depending on the specific orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one figure is flipped, an element described as being "below" or "beneath" another element will be oriented as being "above" the other element. Thus, the exemplary terms "below" or "beneath" can include both above and below orientations.

[0052] As used herein, "about", "approximate", or "substantially" includes the stated value and the average value within an acceptable deviation range of a specific value determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art, taking into account the specific amount of the measurement being discussed and the errors associated with the measurement (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "about" may mean within one or more standard deviations of the stated value, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5%. Furthermore, "about", "approximate", or "substantially" as used herein may, depending on the optical properties, etching properties, or other properties, select a more acceptable deviation range or standard deviation, rather than applying a single standard deviation to all properties.

[0053] The present utility model provides a fixing device which can fix objects of different sizes. The following will describe in detail the structure and operation of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] As Figure 1 shown in the embodiment, the fixing device 800 of the present utility model includes a main body 100, a cable 200, a driving device 300, and a locking module 400. Among them, one end of the cable 200 is fixed to the main body 100, and the other end can pass through the main body 100 and be connected to the other side of the main body 100 to form a first limiting area 710 and a second limiting area 720 on both sides of the main body 100 respectively. The cable 200 is preferably but not limited to a steel cable.

[0055] More specifically, as Figure 2A and Figure 2B shown in the embodiment, the main body 100 can be assembled by, for example, a front shell 101 and a rear shell 102, and includes a connecting portion 110, a through portion 120, and a positioning portion 130. The cable 200 includes a connecting end 210 and a positioning end 230. The connecting end 210 is fixed to the connecting portion 110, and the positioning end 230 can pass through the through portion 120 and be detachably connected to the positioning portion 130, so that the cable 200 and the main body 100 form, for example, two limiting areas, namely, a first limiting area 710 and a second limiting area 720. In an embodiment, the connecting end 210 has an annular flange 210A, and the connecting portion 110 is a hole provided in the outer shell of the main body 100 and having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the annular flange 210A. Thus, the cable 200 can pass through the hole and serve as the annular flange 210A of the connecting end 210, and can be movably limited inside the outer shell of the main body 100. The through portion 120 communicates with both sides of the main body 100. In an embodiment, the opening 121 at one end of the through portion 120 and the connecting portion 110 are provided at the top of the main body 100, and the opening 122 at the other end of the through portion 120 is provided at the bottom of the main body 100.

[0056] In one embodiment, the positioning portion 130 is disposed on the side of the main body 100. The positioning portion 130 is a groove body, and the bottom of the groove body has a through groove 130A. The positioning end 230 has a protrusion 230A with a diameter larger than the diameter of the cable 200. The protrusion 230A is preferably but not limited to a spherical shape. When the positioning end 230 enters the groove body serving as the positioning portion 130, the protrusion 230A can be engaged in the groove body, and the cable 200 can extend out of the main body 100 through the through groove 130A.

[0057] The driving device 300 is disposed in the main body 100, preferably partially exposed from the main body 100, and is movable to release the restriction on the moving direction of the cable 200 and release the restriction on the positioning end 230 from detaching from the positioning portion 130. More specifically, in one embodiment, the driving device 300 includes an operation portion 310 exposed from the main body 100 for the user to apply force and an inclined surface 320 located at the opposite end of the operation portion 310. The locking module 400 is disposed in the main body 100, preferably partially exposed from the main body 100, and can restrict the movement of the driving device 300.

[0058] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the fixing device 800 further includes a first interference member 510 and a second interference member 520. The first interference member 510 is disposed in the main body 100, and at least a part thereof can move into the through portion 120, and can restrict the cable 200 located in the through portion 120 from moving in the first direction 901. The second interference member 520 is disposed in the main body 100 and can restrict the positioning end 230 connected to the positioning portion 130 from detaching from the positioning portion 130.

[0059] The operation of the present utility model will be described below through Figures 3A to 5D the embodiments shown.

[0060] As Figure 3A shown in the embodiment, the connection end 210 of the cable 200 is fixed to the connection portion 110 of the main body 100. The user can pass the positioning end 230 through an object to be fixed, such as the frame or handlebar of a motorcycle or a bicycle, and then as Figure 3B shown in the embodiment, pass the positioning end 230 through the opening 121 to enter the through portion 120.

[0061] As Figure 3CIn the illustrated embodiment, after the positioning end 230 enters the through portion 120 and reaches a position passing the first interference member 510, the first interference member 510 can restrict the cable 200 located in the through portion 120 from moving in the first direction 901. More specifically, the fixing device 800 further includes a first elastic member 610 that provides an elastic force to the first interference member 510, causing the first interference member 510 to rotate until one end 511 extends into the through portion 120 and engages with the cable 200 located in the through portion 120, restricting the cable 200 from moving in the first direction 901. That is, the cable 200 can only move in the first direction 901. Thus, the user can adjust the range of the first limiting region 710 to match the size of the object to be fixed or achieve the desired tightness effect.

[0062] Next, as Figure 3D shown in the embodiment, the user can further pass the positioning end 230 through an object to be locked, such as a safety helmet, etc., and then as Figure 3E in the embodiment, when the locking module 400 is in the unlocked state, since the second interference member 520 is movable, the positioning end 230 can be allowed to enter the groove body serving as the positioning portion 130 and move until the bump 230A engages with the groove body, and the cable 200 can extend out of the main body 100 through the through groove 130A. Then, as Figure 4 shown in the embodiment, the second elastic member 620 included in the fixing device 800 provides an elastic force to the second interference member 520, causing the second interference member 520 to move to the opening of the groove body serving as the positioning portion 130. At this time, the positioning end 230 can be blocked from leaving the positioning portion 130. If the locking module 400 is further in the locked state, the locking module 400 abuts against the second interference member 520, and the locking module 400 restricts the movement of the second interference member 520, thereby achieving the effect of locking and fixing the object.

[0063] Viewed from different angles, when the positioning end 230 is subjected to an external force greater than the elastic force and enters the groove body through the opening of the groove body from outside the groove body, the positioning end 230 can push the second interference member 520 away from the opening of the groove body. When the positioning end 230 enters the groove body, the second interference member 520 can move to the opening of the groove body to restrict the positioning end 230 from detaching. Among them, since the positioning end 230 enters from the opening of the groove body located on the side of the main body 100, and the cable 200 extends out of the main body 100 through the through groove 130A. In other words, when the cable 200 is pulled by an external force, it is the main body 100 rather than other components that bears the force, so the probability of damage to the fixing device 800 can be reduced.

[0064] As Figure 5AIn the illustrated embodiment, when the driving device 300 moves to the release position 910, the driving device 300 can respectively abut against the first interference member 510 and the second interference member 520 to release the restriction of the first interference member 510 on the movement of the cable 200, and release the second interference member 520 from restricting the positioning end 230 from disengaging from the positioning portion 130. Further, in this embodiment, the locking module 400 is a password lock body having a shaft, the shaft is connected to the second interference member 520, and the driving device 300 abuts against the second interference member 520. When the locking module 400 is in the locked state, the locking module 400 restricts the driving device 300 from moving to the release position 910. In contrast, when the locking module 400 is in the unlocked state, the driving device 300 can move. When the driving device 300 moves to the release position 910, the driving device 300 can abut against the first interference member 510, overcome the elastic force to rotate the first interference member 510 until the end 511 leaves the through portion 120, so as to release the restriction of the first interference member 510 on the movement of the cable 200. In addition, the driving device 300 can also abut against the second interference member 520, overcome the elastic force to push the second interference member 520 away from the opening of the groove, so that the positioning end 230 can disengage from the positioning portion 130. Then, as Figures 5B to 5D shown in the embodiment, the positioning end 230 can sequentially disengage from the positioning portion 130 and the through portion 120, thereby releasing the locking and fixing of the object by the fixing device 800. The fixing device 800 may include a third elastic member 630 to provide an elastic force to the driving device 300, so that the driving device 300 returns to its position after being pressed and displaced.
