Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a wire harness cable tie is provided, including a cable tie 1 and a fixing head 2, with the fixing head 2 connected to one end of the cable tie 1.

[0031] The cable tie 1 includes a cable tie body 11 and a locking head 12. The locking head 12 is disposed between the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head 2, and is connected to both the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head 2. The cable tie body 11 is provided with multiple cable tie positioning grooves 111, which are evenly distributed on the cable tie body 11. The locking head 12 is provided with a cable tie locking groove 121 and a cable tie limiting block 122. The cable tie locking groove 121 is disposed at one end of the cable tie body 11 and on one side of the fixing head 2. The cable tie limiting block 122 is disposed in the cable tie locking groove 121 and connected to the locking head 12. The cable tie limiting block 122 and the locking head 12 are inclined to each other.

[0032] The fixing head 2 includes a fixing head body 21 and a fixing piece 22. The fixing piece 22 is disposed between the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head body 21 and is connected to the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head body 21 respectively. The fixing head body 21 has a fixing hole 23 in the middle.

[0033] The cable tie assembly mainly consists of cable tie 1 and fixing head 2. The two work together to fix and organize cables and other objects. Its working principle and process are as follows:

[0034] First, the cable tie 1 is one of the core components, consisting of the cable tie body 11 and the locking head 12. Multiple cable tie positioning grooves 111 evenly distributed on the cable tie body 11 play a crucial role. During use, the cables that need to be organized and secured can be placed sequentially into these positioning grooves. The positioning grooves effectively prevent the cables from sliding randomly during the binding process, ensuring they are in a neat arrangement, laying the foundation for subsequent tightening operations.

[0035] The locking head 12, located between the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head 2, is equally indispensable. Its cable tie locking groove 121 is a key component for achieving final tightening. After the cable is arranged in the cable tie positioning groove 111, the cable tie body 11 is wrapped around the cable, and one end is inserted into the cable tie locking groove 121. At this time, the cable tie limiting block 122, located within the cable tie locking groove 121 and inclined relative to the locking head 12, comes into play. Due to its inclined structure, as the cable tie body 11 is further inserted, the cable tie limiting block 122 generates a gradually increasing resistance to the cable tie body 11, preventing it from retracting, thereby achieving initial tightening of the cable and ensuring that the cable is tightly bound together.

[0036] The fixing head 2 consists of a fixing head body 21 and a fixing plate 22. The fixing plate 22 connects the cable tie body 11 and the fixing head body 21, serving as a transition and enhancing structural stability. The fixing hole 23 in the middle of the fixing head body 21 provides the final fixing point for the entire cable tie 1 assembly. In practical applications, the cable tie 1 assembly, along with the bundled cables, can be fixed in the required position, such as on the surface of the equipment casing or cable tray, by passing nails, screws, or other connectors through the fixing hole 23. This completes the entire cable fixing and organization process, ensuring that the cables are neat and secure, avoiding safety hazards and inconvenience caused by disorder, and making cable tie positioning more convenient.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cable tie body 11 of the wire harness is elongated, and the end of the cable tie body 11 away from the locking head 12 is triangular.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, the cable tie positioning groove 111 of the wire harness is elongated, and multiple cable tie positioning grooves 111 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The cable tie positioning groove 111 on the cable tie body 11 is elongated, and multiple such positioning grooves are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. This elongated structure provides a suitable accommodating space for the cable. During cable placement, the elongated cable tie positioning groove 111 can fully contact the cylindrical shape of the cable, increasing the contact area and making the cable more stable within the groove.

[0039] In another embodiment of this utility model, the cable tie locking groove 121 is T-shaped, with the wider end of the locking groove 121 facing the fixing head 2. After the cable has been placed in the elongated positioning groove of the cable tie body 11 and arranged neatly, the locking operation begins. At this time, one end of the cable tie body 11 is inserted into the locking groove 121. Because the locking groove 121 is T-shaped and the wider end faces the fixing head 2, this special shape design has multiple advantages. In the initial insertion of the cable tie body 11, the wider end provides a larger entry space, making it easier to align and smoothly enter the locking groove, reducing insertion difficulty and improving operational efficiency. Even in complex working environments, operators can easily begin the locking process. As the cable tie body 11 is further inserted, the narrower part of the T-shaped groove begins to play a crucial role. The cable tie body 11 is in close contact with the narrow part of the T-slot and is subjected to squeezing force from both sides of the slot wall. This squeezing force, together with the cable tie limiting block 122 mentioned earlier (which is inclined to the locking head 12 and has the function of preventing retraction), can greatly increase the resistance to the retraction of the cable tie body 11, so that once the cable tie is inserted into the appropriate position, it is firmly locked and will not be easily released.

[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, the inclination angle formed between the cable tie limiting block 122 and the locking head 12 is 30-50°, preferably 45°. After the cable is properly placed in the elongated positioning groove of the cable tie body 11 and arranged neatly, the locking process of the cable tie is initiated. One end of the cable tie body 11 is slowly inserted into the T-shaped cable tie locking groove 121. During this process, the cable tie limiting block 122 begins to exert its unique function due to its inclination setting with the locking head 12. In the initial stage of insertion, since the inclination angle is in the range of 30-50°, preferably 45°, the cable tie limiting block 122 will not excessively obstruct the entry of the cable tie body 11. From a mechanical perspective, the relatively gentle tilt angle results in a smaller resistance force perpendicular to the insertion direction when the cable tie body 11 contacts the limiting block. This allows the cable tie to move smoothly into the locking groove, greatly facilitating the operator. Even in complex conditions such as poor lighting or limited operating space, the locking process can be easily initiated, ensuring efficient operation. As the cable tie body 11 continues to penetrate until it reaches the predetermined locking position, the tilt angle design of the cable tie limiting block 122 begins to demonstrate its core advantages. When the cable tie body 11 attempts to retract due to external factors (such as equipment vibration or daily pulling), the tilt angle acts like a precise "reverse brake." Taking 45° as an example, according to the principle of trigonometric functions, the resistance force perpendicular to the retraction direction exerted by the cable tie limiting block 122 on the cable tie body 11 reaches its relative maximum value at this angle. It presses tightly against the cable tie body 11, generating strong friction with the surface of the cable tie body 11, effectively preventing the cable tie body 11 from retracting.

[0041] In another embodiment of this utility model, the fixing head body 21 of the wire harness cable tie is cylindrical, and the fixing hole 23 is located in the middle of the fixing head body 21 and is circular. After the cable tie 1 assembly completes the initial binding of the wire harness, the cylindrical fixing head body 21 and the circular fixing hole 23 on it begin to play a key role. Its working principle and process are as follows:

[0042] When the cable tie body 11 surrounds the cable, the cable tie locking groove 121 and the cable tie limiting block 122 work together to tightly bind the cable tie positioning groove 111, thus achieving initial fixation of the wire harness. Then, the fixing head 2 is needed to install the entire cable tie 1 assembly into the designated position to ensure the long-term stability of the wire harness.

[0043] At this point, the cylindrical mounting head body 21 exhibits numerous advantages. From an installation convenience perspective, the cylindrical shape has no sharp edges or corners. During operation, when the operator holds the mounting head 2 to move, rotate, and align it, it is less likely to scratch their hands or cause damage to surrounding components, thus improving operational safety and smoothness. Furthermore, this rounded shape allows the mounting head 2 to be flexibly adjusted in various complex installation spaces, whether it's a narrow corner of a cable tray or a compact area inside the equipment, making it easier to find the optimal installation position.

[0044] The circular fixing hole 23 located in the middle of the fixing head body 21 is the core design of the entire fixing process. Its circular shape closely matches the head shape of common connectors (such as screws and rivets), making it easier to position the cable tie. During installation, the connector can pass through the fixing hole 23 tightly and smoothly. This tight fit not only ensures the stability of the connection and prevents the cable tie 1 assembly from shifting due to loosening during use, but also makes the installation process more efficient, reducing the time required for repeated adjustments and alignment due to mismatches between the hole shape and the connector.

[0045] When a suitable connector is selected, passes through the circular fixing hole 23, and is fixed on the target mounting surface (such as the equipment housing, cable tray side plate, etc.), the cylindrical fixing head body 21 can evenly distribute the pressure from the connector, avoiding stress concentration that could cause deformation or damage to the fixing head body 21. This ensures that the cable tie 1 assembly and the bundled wires can be securely fixed in the predetermined position for a long time, providing a reliable guarantee for the continuous normal operation of the electrical system and effectively resisting various interference factors such as vibration during equipment operation and slight contact during routine maintenance.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
