Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical communications, in particular to a wedge-type clamp for a butterfly cable. Background Art

[0002] Traditional wedge-type clamps feature a compression plate, a complex structure that hinders production and installation efficiency. They can easily fall or cause the cable to misalign during installation. Furthermore, the compression plate has a through-hole edge where the cable contacts it, which can easily scratch the cable and hinder long-term, stable installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present utility model is to provide a wedge-type clamp for a butterfly cable to prevent scratches on the optical cable and to simplify the structure.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present utility model proposes a wedge clamp for a butterfly cable, comprising a wedge block and a wire clamp body, wherein the front end height of the wedge block is smaller than the rear end height, and the wire clamp body is provided with a card slot corresponding to the wedge block, which is lower in front and higher in the back, and the front and rear ends of the card slot are open, and a number of bosses are protruding from the bottom of the wedge block.

[0005] Furthermore, the cross section of the wedge is U-shaped.

[0006] Furthermore, barb portions are correspondingly provided on the tops of the inner walls on both sides of the slot.

[0007] Furthermore, a circular hole is provided at the front end of the wedge.

[0008] Furthermore, a draw hook is arranged on the circular hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided on the bottom of the wire clamp body in sequence from front to back.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention designs the bottom of the wedge block and the contact part of the butterfly cable installation into a small boss, which can effectively protect the butterfly cable after the present invention and the butterfly cable are installed; the present invention eliminates the design of the through-hole pressing edge of the traditional wedge-type clamp product, effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the pressing edge easily scratches the butterfly cable sheath; at the same time, the traditional wedge-type clamp pressing piece parts are eliminated, avoiding the phenomenon of the pressing piece falling off or the optical cable installation being misplaced during the installation process, thereby greatly improving the installation efficiency.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features described in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] In the embodiments of the present invention, if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), they are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement status of the various components under a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0021] In addition, in this utility model, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The wedge clamp for a butterfly cable (i.e., a butterfly optical cable) of an embodiment of the present invention includes a wedge block and a clamp body.

[0023] The wedge and clamp body are conventional structures, with the front end of the wedge lower than the rear end. The clamp body features a slot corresponding to the wedge, with the front lower and the rear higher. The slot is open at both ends. The butterfly cable is placed in the slot, and the wedge is inserted from the rear end. Pulling the wedge forward in the slot secures the butterfly cable to the wedge and clamp body.

[0024] The bottom of the wedge block is provided with a number of protrusions. The bottom of the wedge block of the utility model is designed with small protrusions where it contacts the butterfly cable installation. After the butterfly cable is installed, it can effectively protect the butterfly cable. The utility model eliminates the through-hole pressing edge design of traditional wedge clamp products, effectively preventing the pressing edge from easily scratching the butterfly cable sheath. The utility model also eliminates the traditional wedge clamp pressure piece component, avoiding the pressure piece from falling off or the optical cable installation being misplaced during the installation process, greatly improving installation efficiency.

[0025] As an implementation method, the cross-section of the wedge is U-shaped, which can reduce the overall weight of the utility model.

[0026] As an embodiment, the slot is U-shaped, and the top of the inner wall on both sides of the slot is provided with a corresponding hook portion. The slot design of the utility model makes it easy to form the wire clamp body in one piece, and the structure is simple, which greatly reduces the weight and cost of the wire clamp body.

[0027] As an implementation method, a circular hole is provided at the front end of the wedge. The circular hole is designed for connecting various movable hooks such as draw hooks, C-shaped hooks, spring hooks and other open-structure products. This facilitates the installation and removal of the butterfly cable wedge clamp and other connecting hardware, eliminating the original production process of crimping the hanging ring and inner shell to form an integral structure, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0028] As an embodiment, a draw hook is provided on the circular hole.

[0029] As an embodiment, a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided on the bottom of the wire clamp body in sequence from front to back.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
