[0040] It should be noted that in different drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or substantially the same components.

[0041] The fixing device 10 of the present application can be used to fix an auxiliary tool 20 . Figures 1 to 4 Various aspects of a fixture 10 and an auxiliary tool 20 are shown. The fixture 10 may include a base 100, a through-hole portion 110, at least one clamping portion 120, etc. In one embodiment, the fixture 10 may be an integral component, for example, the fixture 10 may be an integrally molded plastic part.

[0042] The base 100 may include an upper surface 101 and a lower surface 102. The base 100 may have a generally elongated structure, such as a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape, or may have one or more curved portions. In the illustrated embodiment, the base 100 is configured to have a corner shape and may be adapted to the shape of the auxiliary tool 20. The corner shape or corner shape referred to herein refers to a shape such as: Figures 1 to 3 As shown in FIG, a portion of base 100 extends along a first straight line B1-B1, and another portion of base 100 extends along the axis of symmetry or extension C1-C1 of through-hole 111. These two portions form a substantially 90-degree angle relative to each other, or have a corner shape. Therefore, overall, base 100 has a "corner shape."

[0043] The through-hole portion 110 may be provided on the upper surface 101 of the base 100. In one embodiment, the through-hole portion 110 may include a through-hole 111, and the through-hole 111 may be configured so that the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 can be rotatably and removably passed therethrough. In one embodiment, the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 may be removably passed through the through-hole 111 and may be fixed in place by the through-hole portion 110. The cross-section of the through-hole 111 may have one of the following shapes: a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, a triangle, a regular pentagon, a regular hexagon, a trapezoid, a prism, or a combination thereof. In addition, the axis of symmetry or extension axis C1-C1 of the through-hole 111 may be arranged to be substantially parallel to the upper surface 101 of the base 100.

[0044] The clamping portion 120 may include: one or more first clamps 121 and one or more clamping portions 122. The first clamp 121 may extend away from the upper surface 101 of the base 100, for example, extend perpendicular to the upper surface 101 of the base 100. The first clamp 121 may include a protrusion 121a. The protrusion 121a may extend toward the adjacent first clamp 121. That is, the protrusion 121a is arranged on the surfaces of the adjacent first clamps 121 facing each other. The protrusion 121a may be one of the following shapes: a cuboid, a part of a sphere, a part of an ellipsoid, a cylinder, a part of a cylinder, a prism, a part of a prism, or a combination thereof. Multiple first clamps 121 may be arranged in a staggered manner, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. The middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 can be clamped by a plurality of first clamps 121. Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of first clips 121 can help to clamp the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 in place and are located on the upper surface 101 of the base 100. The protrusions 121a on the plurality of first clips 121 can cooperate with each other to clamp the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 and can be positioned above the middle portion 23. In one embodiment, the plurality of first clips 121 are elastically deformable.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the fixing device 10 of the present application may further include a first straight line B1-B1. The first straight line B1-B1 may be a virtual straight line and be substantially parallel to the upper surface 101 of the base 100. The first straight line B1-B1 and the symmetry axis or extension axis C1-C1 of the through hole 111 may form a predetermined angle. In the illustrated embodiment, an angle of approximately 90 degrees is formed between the first straight line B1-B1 and the symmetry axis or extension axis C1-C1 of the through hole 111. In one embodiment, the predetermined angle may be other angles other than 90 degrees. In addition, the first straight line B1-B1 and the symmetry axis or extension axis C1-C1 of the through hole 111 may be located in substantially the same plane. It should be noted that the first straight line B1-B1 in the present application is a virtual concept, and the purpose of defining the first straight line B1-B1 is to define other components or parts by means of the first straight line B1-B1.

[0046] In addition, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the first straight line B1-B1 may be the symmetry axis of the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 and extend through the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20. The extension axis C1-C1 may be the symmetry axis of the through hole 111 and the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 and extend through the through hole 111 and the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20.

[0047] A plurality of first clips 121 may be arranged on both sides of the first straight line B1-B1 and may be arranged staggeredly with each other on both sides of the first straight line B1-B1. In the illustrated embodiment, three first clips 121 are arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "pin", and two of the first clips 121 are arranged at intervals on one side of the first straight line B1-B1, while the third first clip 121 is arranged on the other side of the first straight line B1-B1 and exactly faces the interval between the other two first clips 121. In one embodiment, the protrusion 121a on each first clip 121 may protrude facing the first straight line B1-B1.

[0048] The clamping portion 122 may be shaped to fit the outer surface of the auxiliary tool 20 so as to clamp and fix the second end 22 of the auxiliary tool 20. As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the clamping portion 122 may be a bayonet structure on the extension portion 140 and is shaped to fit the outer surface of the second end 22 of the auxiliary tool 20.

[0049] One or more mounting holes 130 may be disposed on the base 100. These mounting holes 130 may be accessible from the upper surface 101 of the base 100 and may extend to the lower surface 102 of the base 100. In one embodiment, the mounting holes 130 may be bolt holes or screw holes for attaching the base 100 to an outer surface of a mechanical device via bolts or screws (not shown). In one embodiment, when installed in place, the bolts or screws may be located within the mounting holes 130, with the upper surface 101 of the base 100 oriented away from the outer surface of the mechanical device, and the lower surface 102 of the base 100 oriented toward the outer surface of the mechanical device.

[0050] The extension portion 140 may extend from the upper surface 101 of the base 100, and at least a portion of the extension portion 140 may be configured in a plate-like shape. In one embodiment, the clamping portion 122 may be positioned at one end of the extension portion 140. In one embodiment, a plurality of first clips 121 may be positioned on one side of the extension portion 140 and adjacent to the extension portion 140. The extension portion 140 may serve a positioning function. For example, an operator may roughly determine the approximate position of the first clip 121 and, correspondingly, the auxiliary tool 20 by touching the extension portion 140 with a finger. In addition, the extension portion 140 may also limit the elastic deformation of the first clip 121, thereby preventing the first clip 121 from breaking due to large deformation.

[0051] The auxiliary tool 20 may include a first end 21, a second end 22, and a middle portion 23. The first end 21 may be shaped to be rotatably and removably inserted through the through-hole 111 of the through-hole portion 110. The second end 22 may be shaped to mate with the clamping portion 122. The middle portion 23 may be shaped to be clamped by the first clamp 121. The auxiliary tool 20 may have a profile that is one of the following shapes: zigzag, angled, curved, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the auxiliary tool 20 may be a Z-shaped wrench. The cross-section of the auxiliary tool 20 may have one of the following shapes: circular, elliptical, rectangular, rounded rectangle, triangular, regular pentagonal, regular hexagonal, trapezoidal, prismatic, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the auxiliary tool 20 may have the same, stacked structure. In another embodiment, the first end 21 and the second end 22 of the auxiliary tool 20 may have different structures, such as different screwdriver bits. In one embodiment, the auxiliary tool 20 may have the same cross-section as a whole. In one embodiment, the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 may extend along the symmetry axis or extension axis C1 - C1 of the through hole 111 , and the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 may extend along the first straight line B1 - B1 .

[0052] Figures 1 to 3 The fixing process of the auxiliary tool 20 is shown. For example, Figure 1As shown in FIG, the auxiliary tool 20 can be removed from the fixture 10 and is free for use by the operator. Figure 2 As shown, the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 can be inserted into the through hole 111 of the through hole portion 110. At this time, the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 is removably inserted. In one embodiment, the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 is rotatable in the through hole 111 of the through hole portion 110. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 2 After the first end 21 of the auxiliary tool 20 is inserted, the operator can rotate the auxiliary tool 20 with the first end 21 as the rotation axis, and snap the middle portion 23 of the auxiliary tool 20 into the plurality of first clips 121, and snap the second end 22 of the auxiliary tool 20 into the snap-fit ​​portion 122. Finally, the auxiliary tool 20 is fixed in place relative to the base 100 and positioned substantially parallel to, or on, the upper surface 101 of the base 100.

[0053] The auxiliary tool assembly of the present application may include: a fixture 10, an auxiliary tool 20, and one or more bolts or screws. The auxiliary tool 20 may be removably attached to the fixture 10. The fixture 10 may be attached to a surface of a mechanical device using one or more bolts or screws. For example, the fixture 10 may be attached to a surface of a housing 2 of the mechanical device.

[0054] The housing 2 of the mechanical device may be made of aluminum alloy. In one embodiment, the various components of the mechanical device may be made of metal including aluminum alloy. In one embodiment, the mechanical device may be a mechanical device for operating a valve or other components. In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG, the mechanical device may include an auxiliary tool assembly 1, a housing 2, and an actuator 3. The housing 2 may be attached to the actuator 3, and the auxiliary tool assembly 1 may be attached to the housing 2. In a use state, the auxiliary tool assembly 1 may be positioned on a downwardly facing surface of the housing 2, such that the auxiliary tool 20 is arranged to be suspended on the downwardly facing surface of the housing 2. Figure 6 The auxiliary tool assembly 1 is shown positioned on the housing 2. For the sake of clarity, Figure 6 Some components of the actuator 3 are omitted. As shown, when the auxiliary tool assembly 1 is installed on the housing 2, the auxiliary tool 20 is entirely located within the edge of the housing 2 and does not protrude beyond the edge of the housing 2. In addition, the installation positions of the auxiliary tool 20 and the fixing device 10 can be staggered with the installation position of the actuator 3, allowing the operator to flexibly access the auxiliary tool 20 and conveniently engage the auxiliary tool 20.

[0055] In one embodiment, the mechanical device may be an actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator 3 may be an actuator for an actuator.
