DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral whole; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.

[0027] The cable tie structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model is as follows Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cable tie includes a cable tie body 1 made of nylon integral injection molding, the cable tie body 1 includes a cable tie strip 11 and a cable tie head 12 provided at one end of the cable tie strip 11, the cable tie head 12 is provided with a threading hole 13, the threading hole 13 has an inlet port 131 and an outlet port 132 arranged relatively to each other; the bottom of the threading hole 13 is provided with a locking block 17 with an end extending obliquely toward the outlet port 132, and the upper part of the locking block 17 is provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped teeth 171 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the threading hole 13. When in use, the end of the cable tie strip 11 is passed through the inlet port 131 and out of the outlet port 132 through the threading hole 13, and locking is achieved by cooperating with the wedge-shaped teeth 171 on the locking block 17 with the tooth grooves on the cable tie strip 11; the locking block 17 is connected to the inner wall of the threading hole 13 by a transition connection through an arc surface, which is conducive to dispersing the stress of the locking block 17 when it is under pressure.

[0028] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to add an identification function to the cable tie, a label 14 is integrally provided on the cable tie body 1. The surface of the label 14 can record relevant graphic information by printing, pasting or writing, thereby improving the convenience of use for users. Moreover, the cable tie body 1 and the label 14 are integrally formed, which is convenient to manufacture and can provide a more firm and stable connection. For further reference, Figure 3 and Figure 4 A cutter 2 is fixed in the outlet 132 and is perpendicular to the extending direction of the strap hole 13. The end of the locking block 17 is spaced apart from the cutter 2. A gap 136 is provided above the cutter 2 for the strap strip 11 to pass through. A blade 21 is provided on the upper edge of the cutter 2. The blade 21 is provided along the width direction of the strap hole 13. When the strap is tightened, the strap strip 11 passes through the gap 136. The end of the strap strip 11 is twisted and cut off by the blade 21, thereby realizing a self-cutting function. This further facilitates user use. Users do not need to use scissors to cut off the end of the strap strip 12 during installation.

[0029] In order to facilitate the installation and positioning of the cutter 2, the tape outlet 132 is provided with an outward-facing abutment surface 133 and a positioning block 134 provided on the outside of the abutment surface 133. The outer end of the positioning block 134 protrudes from the tape outlet 132, and the inner side surface of the cutter 2 is in contact with the abutment surface 133. The positioning block 134 is hot-riveted to form a limit stop 135 that stops on the outside of the cutter 2. During installation, the cutter 2 is loaded into the tape outlet 132 so that it is in contact with the abutment surface 133, and then the outer end of the positioning block 134 is deformed by heating and riveting (i.e., hot riveting) to form the limit stop 135, and the cutter 2 is positioned by cooperating with the limit stop 135 and the abutment surface 133.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to enhance the stability of the installation of the cutter 2, a positioning notch 22 is provided on the side edge of the cutter 2, and a positioning protrusion 137 is provided on the side of the positioning block 134 to cooperate with the positioning notch 22. The positioning notch 22 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 137 to prevent the cutter 2 from moving in the up and down directions, thereby making the installation of the cutter 2 more secure and stable, and preventing the cutter 2 from loosening or falling off and affecting normal use.

[0031] In order to better position the cutter 2, positioning blocks 134 are provided at positions corresponding to both side edges and the bottom edge of the strip outlet 132 corresponding to the cutter 2, so as to position the cutter 2 from three different directions.

[0032] Figures 1 to 3 In the scheme shown, the label 14 is only connected to the cable tie head 12; as a variant, in actual operation, the label 14 can also be set to be connected between the cable tie head 12 and the cable tie strip 11, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown; further, the sign 14 and the tie strip 11 are arranged coplanarly.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the cable tie strip 11 is provided with an oblique opening 111 on one side edge near the cable tie head 12, and the oblique opening 111 reduces the width of the corresponding part of the cable tie strip 11; one side of the cable tie strip 11 is provided with an oblique groove 16 on the extension line of the oblique opening 111, and the oblique groove 16 reduces the thickness of the corresponding part of the cable tie strip 11. This arrangement of the cable tie still maintains good fixing performance and reliability during normal use, because the design of the oblique opening 111 and the oblique groove 16 can weaken the corresponding part of the cable tie strip 11. When the cable tie needs to be untied, one end of the cable tie head 12 is pulled to one side, and the cable tie strip 11 can be torn off from the oblique opening 111. Such tearing does not require the use of scissors or other tools, which is particularly suitable for occasions where temporary bundling is required, thereby improving the convenience of using the cable tie.

[0034] For example, the angle A between the bevel 111 and the length direction of the tie strip 11 is 40-60 degrees (the angle A is between Figure 1 Indicated in the middle, for example, the angle A is set to 40 degrees, 50 degrees or 60 degrees), and the opening of the oblique opening 111 is biased towards the tie head 12, so that during operation, it is convenient to tear the tie strip 11 by pulling one end of the tie head 12; further, the size of the oblique opening 111 in the width direction of the tie strip 11 is greater than half of the width of the corresponding part of the tie strip 11 and less than two-thirds of the width of the corresponding part of the tie strip 11; the depth of the oblique groove 16 is less than half of the thickness of the corresponding part of the tie strip 11. By reasonably setting the oblique opening 111 and the oblique groove 16, the strength of the corresponding part of the tie strip 11 can be reduced, and the tie can have a certain tensile strength.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, to achieve better bundling, the cable tie includes at least two tie bodies 1 spaced apart and arranged in parallel. These at least two tie bodies 1 are integrally formed with the same label 14 by injection molding. This design achieves a better bundling effect. Because the at least two tie bodies 1 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel, they can better secure or bind the object to be tied.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a clearance 15 is formed below the locking block 17 in the strap-through hole 13. The existence of the clearance 15 allows the locking block 17 to have a certain deformation space to adapt to elastic deformation. Limit blocks 18 are formed on both sides of the locking block 17 in the strap-entry opening 131. The distance between the two limit blocks 18 is less than the width of the strap strip 11. A limiting surface 181 is formed on the upper part of the limit block 18 to limit the strap strip 11. In this way, after the strap strip 11 passes through the strap-through hole 13, support is formed on both sides of the strap strip 11 by the limiting surface 181, thereby preventing the strap strip 11 from exerting strong pressure on the locking block 17 when tightening, causing the locking block 17 to break; at the same time, since the wedge-shaped tooth 171 is set higher than the limiting surface 181, it can ensure that the wedge-shaped tooth 171 is effectively engaged with the strap strip 11.

[0037] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting protrusion 19 protruding toward the belt entry port 131 is provided on the end face of the locking block 17 facing the belt entry port 131, and the limiting protrusion 19 is located between the two limiting blocks 18. With such an arrangement, during the tightening process of the cable tie strip 11, the locking block 17 is deformed when squeezed by the cable tie strip 11, and the deformation range of the locking block 17 can be limited by the contact between the end of the limiting protrusion 19 and the corresponding side surface of the cable tie strip 11, thereby preventing the locking block 17 from being greatly deformed and damaged when under pressure.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
