[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0023] The utility model discloses a reusable cable tie, referring to Figure 1-2 , including a cable tie head 1, a belt body 2 and a connecting mechanism. The cable tie head 1 and the belt body 2 can be integrally formed. A first through-hole 11 and a second through-hole 12 are provided in the cable tie head 1 for one end of the belt body 2 to pass through continuously. When it is necessary to bundle items such as wire harnesses, one end of the belt body 2 is passed through the first through-hole 11 and the second through-hole 12 in sequence, so that the cable tie head 1 and the belt body 2 can bundle two wire harnesses at the same time, which can reduce the collision between the two wire harnesses, better separate the wire harnesses, reduce the number of cable ties used, and save space.

[0024] Reference Figure 2-4 The connecting mechanism includes a plurality of ratchet teeth 21 fixed on the outer wall of the belt body 2, and two sets of stop claws 3 slidably arranged in the cable tie head 1 and meshing with the ratchet teeth 21. The stop claws 3 are helical teeth with an inclination direction opposite to the ratchet teeth 21. After the ratchet teeth 21 engage with the stop claws 3, the belt body 2 inserted into the cable tie head 1 can be prevented from reversing and self-locked, so that the belt body 2 can only move in one direction in the cable tie head 1, which is convenient for firmly bundling items such as wire harnesses.

[0025] Reference Figure 2-4 A slider 31 for carrying and fixing the pawl 3 is provided slidingly inside the cable tie head 1, and a push rod 33 for resting against one side of the slider 31 is provided slidingly on the top of the cable tie head 1. A guide inclined surface 32 is provided on one side of the slider 31 for pushing the slider 31 laterally toward the ratchet teeth 21 when the push rod 33 is pressed vertically downward. After the push rod 33 is pressed vertically downward, the slider 31 and the pawl 3 are pushed laterally toward the ratchet teeth 21 through the guidance of the guide inclined surface 32, thereby engaging the ratchet teeth 21 with the pawl 3.

[0026] Reference Figure 2-4 Two groups of grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the tie head 1, which are respectively connected to the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12. The slider 31 is slidably connected to the groove 13 of the tie head 1, and the stop claw 3 is fixed on the side of the slider 31 away from the guide inclined surface 32. The bottom end of the top rod 33 is slidably connected to the groove 13 of the tie head 1. The tie head 1 can limit the corresponding slider 31 through the groove 13, so that the slider 31 can only slide laterally in the groove 13. The slider 31 can support, carry and fix the stop claw 3, and the tie head 1 can connect and limit the bottom end of the fixed rod 33 through the groove 13.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 A connecting frame 34 located outside the cable tie head 1 is fixedly connected between the top ends of the plurality of push rods 33. The connecting frame 34 can connect a plurality of push rods 33 at the same time. The number of push rods 33 can be two.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3 The top of the tie head 1 is provided with a fixing mechanism for pressing down and fixing the top rod 33. The fixing mechanism includes a screw 36 threaded on the top of the tie head 1, and a screw head 35 fixed at the top of the screw 36 for pressing down the connecting frame 34. A threaded hole is opened on the top of the tie head 1, and the bottom end of the screw 36 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole at the top of the tie head 1, so that the tie head 1 can support and limit the screw 36, and the screw 36 can drive the screw head 35 to move up and down after rotation. After the screw head 35 moves down, it can press down the connecting frame 34 abutted at the bottom. The staff can use tools such as screwdrivers to rotate the screw head 35.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 , cross bars 37 are fixed on both sides of the screw head 35 for the user to manually rotate the screw head 35. The staff can also manually rotate the screw head 35 directly by holding the cross bars 37, which is more convenient and can drive the fixing mechanism composed of the screw head 35 and the screw rod 36 to rise and fall without the help of other tools.

[0030] Reference Figure 2-4 A limiting groove 14 is provided in the groove 13 of the tie head 1, and a pushing mechanism is provided in the tie head 1 for pushing the stop claw 3 away from the ratchet teeth 21 when the push rod 33 moves up. The pushing mechanism includes a limiting ring 4 fixed on the outer wall of the slider 31 and slidably connected to the limiting groove 14, and a plurality of elastic members 51 fixed in the limiting groove 14 of the tie head 1 for pushing the limiting ring 4 toward the side of the push rod 33. The tie head 1 can fix the limiting ring 4 through the limiting groove 14 so that the limiting ring 4 can only move laterally, and the limiting groove 14 can provide space for the limiting ring 4 to slide laterally. The elastic member 51 can be an elastic object such as a spring and a metal shrapnel, and the limiting ring 4 can connect the slider 31 and the elastic member 51.

[0031] When the fixing mechanism composed of the screw head 35 and the screw rod 36 is raised, under the elastic force of the elastic member 51 and in conjunction with the connection of the limit ring 4, the slider 31 can move toward the side of the push rod 33 and, under the guidance of the guide inclined surface 32, the push rod 33 and the connecting frame 34 are lifted. At the same time, the locking claw 3 on one side of the slider 31 will disengage from the ratchet teeth 21, so that the belt body 2 in the cable tie head 1 is unfixed. At this time, the staff can pull the belt body 2 out of the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 in the cable tie head 1 to reuse the cable tie.

[0032] The implementation principle of a reusable cable tie in the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0033] When in use, the staff can wind the belt body 2 around the outside of the wire harness waiting to be tied, and then pass one end of the belt body 2 through the first through-hole 11 and the second through-hole 12 in sequence, so that the cable tie head 1 and the belt body 2 can tie two wire harnesses at the same time, which can reduce the collision between the two wire harnesses. At this time, the locking claw 3 engaged with the ratchet teeth 21 can prevent the belt body 2 from passing through the cable tie head 1 from reverse and self-locking, so that the belt body 2 can only move in one direction in the cable tie head 1, which is convenient for firmly bundling items such as wire harnesses;

[0034] When the cable tie needs to be reused, the staff can use a tool to rotate the screw head 35 or directly hold the cross bar 37 to rotate the screw head 35, so as to drive the fixing mechanism composed of the screw head 35 and the screw rod 36 to rise and fall on the cable tie head 1;

[0035] When the fixing mechanism composed of the screw head 35 and the screw rod 36 is raised, under the elastic force of the elastic member 51 and in conjunction with the connection of the limiting ring 4, the slider 31 can move toward the side of the push rod 33 and, under the guidance of the guide inclined surface 32, the push rod 33 and the connecting frame 34 are lifted. At the same time, the locking claw 3 on one side of the slider 31 will disengage from the ratchet teeth 21, so that the belt body 2 in the cable tie head 1 is unfixed. At this time, the staff can pull the belt body 2 out of the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 in the cable tie head 1 to disassemble the cable tie.

[0036] Then the staff can wrap the disassembled cable tie around the outside of another wire harness or other item, and then pass one end of the belt body 2 through the first through-hole 11 and the second through-hole 12 in sequence, and at the same time rotate the screw head 35 in the opposite direction to lower the fixing mechanism to drive the push rod to move downward. After the push rod 33 is pressed vertically downward, it will be guided by the guide inclined surface 32 to push the slider 31 and the stop claw 3 laterally toward the ratchet teeth 21 side, so that the ratchet teeth 21 engage with the stop claw 3, and use the cable tie to bundle another wire harness or other item, thereby reusing the cable tie.
