Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tie technology, and in particular to a multifunctional combination cable tie. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of a car, the reliability of the automotive wiring harness is crucial to the electrical installation of the entire vehicle. Therefore, it is usually necessary to use cable ties to bundle the automotive wiring harness and then fix it to the sheet metal holes, steel plates, or pipes of the vehicle body to prevent the wiring from moving around while the car is in motion.

[0003] Currently, cable ties used for bundling automotive wiring harnesses are all of a single type, and their installation end heights are relatively uniform. However, the interior of a car is a compact environment with numerous components, including various wiring harnesses, conduits, and electronic devices, which are intertwined and have a very complex layout. When cable ties are used to secure wiring harnesses, if the installation height of the cable tie is insufficient, the installation end of the cable tie can easily interfere with surrounding components during the securing process, potentially causing damage to other components or short circuits due to collisions with other components. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional combination cable tie, wherein the installation section of the cable tie can be adjusted in height according to the actual installation environment, and is not limited by a single fixed height, thus having a wider range of applications.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its problem is:

[0006] A multifunctional combination cable tie includes a strap body and at least one connecting seat. The strap body has an installation section and a winding section. The installation section is connected to the mounting seat, and the winding section is detachably connected to the mounting seat when it is in a wound state. The connecting seat has a first connecting part and a second connecting part, wherein the first connecting part on one of the connecting seats is detachably connected to the second connecting part on an adjacent connecting seat. The mounting seat has a third connecting part, which is detachably connected to either the first connecting part or the second connecting part.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the connector has a snap-fit ​​block, which is the first connecting part, and the top of the mounting base has a snap-fit ​​groove, which is the third connecting part. The snap-fit ​​block snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove so that the first connecting part and the third connecting part are engaged and connected.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block is provided with a limiting groove, and the groove wall of the snap-fit ​​groove is provided with a first limiting block, which snaps into the limiting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the first limiting block is provided with a first guiding slope, which is used to guide the first limiting block to engage with the limiting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​block has limiting protrusions on both sides, and the snap-fit ​​groove includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment. The first groove segment and the second groove segment are staggered vertically and communicate with each other. The snap-fit ​​block is disposed in the second groove segment. The limiting protrusions are used to snap the snap-fit ​​block into the second groove segment after it extends into the first groove segment and abut against the groove wall of the second groove segment.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a through groove, and the winding section passes through the through groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the groove wall of the through groove is provided with a second limiting block, the winding section has a plurality of toothed grooves, the plurality of toothed grooves are spaced apart in the winding section, and the second limiting block is engaged with at least one of the toothed grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, the second limiting block is provided with a second guide slope, which is used to guide the second limiting block to engage with the toothed groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the through groove includes a third groove segment and a fourth groove segment. The third groove segment and the fourth groove segment are staggered vertically and interconnect each other. The outer diameter of the third groove segment is smaller than the outer diameter of the fourth groove segment. The winding segment passes through the fourth groove segment and abuts against the groove wall of the fourth groove segment. The second limiting block is disposed on the groove wall of the third groove segment.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the winding segment away from the mounting segment also has a guiding arc surface, which is used to guide the winding segment to pass through the through groove.

[0016] In summary, the multifunctional combination cable tie provided by this utility model has the following technical effects: In use, the third connecting part on the mounting base is detachably connected to the first connecting part or the second connecting part on one of the connecting bases. Then, the operator can select the number of connecting bases according to the actual assembly situation and adjust the overall installation height of the mounting base in real time to adapt to the actual installation environment. Then, it is connected to the external structure through the connecting base. By adding or removing the number of connecting bases, the overall height of the cable tie mounting section can be adjusted in real time, so that the wire harness bound by the winding section always maintains a certain distance from the external structure, thereby effectively avoiding other surrounding components and preventing the wire harness from rubbing or colliding with other components due to shaking during vehicle movement, reducing the risk of electrical failure.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses a multifunctional combination cable tie, including a cable tie body 20 and at least one connecting seat 30. The cable tie body 20 has an installation section 22 and a winding section 21. The installation section 22 is connected to the mounting seat 10. When the winding section 21 is in a wound state, it is detachably connected to the mounting seat 10. The connecting seat 30 is provided with a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part on one of the connecting seats 30 is detachably connected to the second connecting part on the adjacent connecting seat 30. The mounting seat 10 is provided with a third connecting part, which is detachably connected to the first connecting part or the second connecting part.

[0027] Based on the above structure, during assembly, after the mounting section 22 is connected to the mounting base 10, it is connected to the first or second connecting part of one of the connecting bases 30 through the third connecting part. Then, it is connected through the first or third connecting part on the connecting base 30 to connect the belt body 20 to the external structure (such as the steel plate inside the vehicle body or the fixed frame). Since the mounting base 10 of the belt body 20 is connected to at least one connecting base 30, and the connecting base 30 usually has a certain height, there is at least one mounting gap of connecting base 30 between the mounting base 10 and the external structure. Thus, when the winding section 21 of the belt body 20 bundles the wire harness and connects it to the mounting base 10, there is also at least one gap of connecting base 30 between the wire harness and the external structure, so that the wire harness is not easy to collide with the external structure after being bundled.

[0028] Specifically, when this embodiment is applied to the automotive industry, the various wiring harnesses, pipes, electronic devices, and other components inside a car are intertwined and have a very complex layout. Furthermore, the space inside the vehicle is very limited. If the mounting base 10 is directly connected to the fixed frame or steel plate inside the vehicle after the wiring harness is secured by the cable tie, the gap between the wiring harness and other components on the fixed frame will be too small. This can cause the wiring harness to shake and collide with other components during vehicle movement, potentially damaging them or affecting the securing effect of the cable tie itself, thus preventing the wiring harness from being effectively secured. Therefore, in this example, at least one connecting seat 30 is provided on the mounting base 10 of the cable tie 20. This connecting seat 30 is used to connect to the external structure, ensuring that after the cable tie 20 at the bottom of the mounting base 10 binds the wiring harness, there is at least one connecting seat 30 between the wiring harness and the external structure. Thus, under long-term operation and vibration, the wiring harness secured by the cable tie 20 is less likely to loosen or be damaged due to shaking or friction or collision with other components, thereby improving the reliability of the automotive electrical system.

[0029] More specifically, the number of connectors 30 can be set to one, two, or more according to actual assembly requirements, such as the actual spacing between the wire harness and other components, to ensure that the wire harness will not easily collide with surrounding components after being fixed by cable ties.

[0030] It should be noted that the first connecting part can be a structure such as a slot or groove on the connecting seat 30, while the second connecting part is a snap-fit ​​structure such as a snap block, snap strip, or buckle that engages with the first connecting part, so that the first connecting part and the second connecting part on each two adjacent connecting seats 30 can be detachably connected. Of course, the same effect can be achieved if the first connecting part is a snap block, snap strip, or buckle, and the second connecting part is a corresponding slot or groove.

[0031] Of course, each adjacent first connecting part and second connecting part can also be detachably connected by means of insertion or threaded connection. For example, the first connecting part is a pin and the second connecting part is a slot, and the two are inserted and connected; or the first connecting part is a threaded rod and the second connecting part is a threaded hole, and the two are threaded and connected to achieve a detachable connection.

[0032] The third connecting part is configured to be detachably connected to the second or first connecting part, such as by engaging or plugging. For example, when the third connecting part engages with the first connecting part, if the first connecting part is a block, buckle, or rod, both the third and second connecting parts are configured with matching slots, latches, or holes. If the first connecting part is a slot, latch, or hole, the third and second connecting parts are configured with matching blocks, buckles, or rods. Similarly, when the second connecting part engages with or plugs into the third connecting part, if the second connecting part is a block or buckle, the first and third connecting parts are configured with slots or latches. The specific implementation principle is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0033] In addition, when the connector 30 is connected to the external structure, it can be directly connected to the connector on the external structure through the first connecting part or the second connecting part away from the mounting base 10, or an additional connecting structure can be provided on the connector 30 to connect to the external structure. Specifically, the connector 30 is connected to the external structure through the first connecting part or the second connecting part.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the third connecting part of the mounting base 10 is engaged with the first connecting part on the connecting base 30. Specifically, the first connecting part is a snap-fit ​​block 31 located at the bottom of the connecting base 30, and the third connecting part is a snap-fit ​​groove 12 located at the top of the mounting base 10. During assembly, the snap-fit ​​block 31 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 12. Thus, during assembly, the operator only needs to apply a little external force to snap the snap-fit ​​block 31 into the snap-fit ​​groove 12 to complete the assembly. Disassembly is also done in the same way. The whole process can be completed without the aid of tools, making installation more convenient.

[0035] More specifically, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block 31, and a first limiting block 123 is provided on the groove wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 12. The first limiting block 123 is set to correspond with the limiting groove, so that after the snap-fit ​​block 31 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 12, the first limiting block 123 can be snapped into the limiting groove, so that the snap-fit ​​block 31 can be locked in the snap-fit ​​groove 12 and is not easy to loosen, making the structure more stable after the mounting base 10 and the connecting base 30 are assembled.

[0036] Furthermore, a first guide slope is provided on the first limiting block 123, which is used to guide the first limiting block 123 to engage with the limiting groove.

[0037] Based on this structure, if the first limiting block 123 is directly inserted into the limiting groove, it may be difficult to align or the presence of friction may hinder the insertion of the first limiting block 123, making it difficult for the first limiting block 123 to be inserted into the limiting groove. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first guiding slope is provided on the outer periphery of the first limiting block 123. Since the first guiding slope is a gradual structure compared to the right-angle edge structure, the contact between the first limiting block 123 and the edge of the limiting groove is gradual during the sliding process, the pressure distribution is more uniform, and the friction is relatively stable. This allows the first limiting block 123 to slide into the limiting groove more smoothly, reducing the possibility of jamming and damage.

[0038] More specifically, because of the presence of the first guide slope, the first limiting block 123 can gradually adjust its position along the slope and smoothly slide into the limiting groove, thus making assembly easier and less prone to jamming.

[0039] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​block 31 has limiting protrusions 311 on both sides. The snap-fit ​​groove 12 includes a first groove segment 121 and a second groove segment 122. The first groove segment 121 and the second groove segment 122 are staggered and interconnected. The snap-fit ​​block 31 is located in the second groove segment 122. After the snap-fit ​​block 31 extends into the first groove segment 121, the limiting protrusion 311 snaps into the second groove segment 122 and abuts against the groove wall of the second groove segment 122.

[0040] Based on this structure, in specific configuration, the outer diameter of the first groove segment 121 matches the outer diameter of the snap-fit ​​block 31, while the outer diameter of the second groove segment 122 matches the outer diameter of the limiting protrusion 311 and is larger than the outer diameter of the first groove segment 121. During assembly, the snap-fit ​​block 31 first extends into the first groove segment 121 that matches its outer diameter, so that the snap-fit ​​block 31 and the groove wall of the first groove segment 121 are tightly abutted. This tight abutment generates friction. When the snap-fit ​​block 31 is subjected to an outward force, this friction can resist a certain degree of tension and play a preliminary fixing role.

[0041] When the snap-fit ​​block 31 enters the first groove 121, the limiting protrusions 311 on both sides can enter the second groove 122. Since the outer diameter of the second groove 122 is larger than the outer diameter of the first groove 121, this size difference causes the limiting protrusions 311 to be stuck after entering the second groove 122, just like a "locking" mechanism. At this time, the limiting protrusions 311 and the groove wall of the second groove 122 will also generate friction, and restrict the movement of the snap-fit ​​block 31 from the side, thereby effectively reducing the probability of the snap-fit ​​block 31 coming out of the snap-fit ​​groove 12, and the structure is more stable.

[0042] Furthermore, a through groove 11 is provided on the mounting base 10. In actual use, after the winding section 21 binds the wire harness, the end of the winding section 21 can be inserted into the through groove 11 and abut against the groove wall of the through groove 11 to lock the winding section 21, so as to prevent the winding section 21 from loosening and failing to fix the wire harness.

[0043] It should be noted that elastic sleeves or textures can be provided on both sides of the winding section 21 to increase friction, so that the winding section 21 can be stably connected to the groove wall of the through groove 11 after passing through it, and is not easy to loosen; of course, a limiting structure can also be provided on the inner wall of the through groove 11 to limit the winding section 21.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, a second limiting block is provided on the groove wall of the through groove 11, and a plurality of toothed grooves 211 are provided on the winding section 21. The plurality of toothed grooves 211 are distributed at intervals in the winding section 21. In this way, when the winding section 21 passes through the through groove 11, the second limiting block can engage with at least one of the toothed grooves 211 to limit the winding section 21, thereby locking the winding section 21 in the through groove 11 and avoiding the situation where the wire harness becomes loose due to the loosening of the winding section 21, thereby indirectly improving the stability of the entire structure.

[0045] Specifically, a second guide slope is provided on the second limiting block. Because of the existence of the second guide slope, the second limiting block can gradually adjust its position along the slope and smoothly slide into the toothed groove 211, so that the second limiting block can be more easily locked into the toothed groove 211 under the guidance of the second guide and is less likely to get stuck. In this way, the operator can save more effort when operating.

[0046] It should be noted that the shape of the second limiting block matches the shape of the toothed groove 211, so that the two can make close contact after connection to achieve limiting.

[0047] Furthermore, the through groove 11 includes a third groove segment 111 and a fourth groove segment 112. The third groove segment 111 and the fourth groove segment 112 are staggered and interconnected. The outer diameter of the third groove segment 111 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fourth groove segment 112. The winding segment 21 passes through the fourth groove segment 112 and abuts against the groove wall of the fourth groove segment 112. The second limiting block is provided on the groove wall of the third groove segment 111.

[0048] Based on this structure, during assembly, after the winding section 21 enters the fourth groove section 112, since the outer diameter of the third groove section 111 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fourth groove section 112, this size difference allows the outer periphery of the winding section 21 to be restricted by the groove wall of the fourth groove section 112 after entering the fourth groove section 112, thus initially limiting its position. Then, the second limiting block on the groove wall of the third groove section 111 engages with the toothed groove 211 to further limit the winding section 21, so that the winding section 21 can be limited layer by layer after passing through the through groove 11, making it less prone to loosening.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the toothed groove 211 can be less than or equal to the outer diameter of the third groove segment 111, so that the second limiting block can still be fully engaged in the toothed groove 211 after being installed in the third groove segment 111.

[0050] Furthermore, the winding section 21 has a guiding arc surface 212 at the end away from the mounting section 22, which is used to guide the winding section 21 to pass through the through groove 11.

[0051] Specifically, in actual operation, it is difficult to ensure that the winding section 21 is completely perpendicular to the through groove 11 during installation. There may be difficulties in aligning with the through groove and thus difficulties in installation. Therefore, in this embodiment, a guide arc surface 212 is provided at the end of the winding section 21. Specifically, the guide arc surface 212 can be respectively provided at the end of the winding section 21 away from the mounting base 10 and located on both sides of the winding section 21. When the end of the winding section 21 is close to the through groove 11, the guide arc surface 212 can adapt to the angle change through its own curvature during the installation process, so that the winding section 21 can smoothly enter the through groove 11 even with a certain angle deviation, making the whole installation process smoother.

[0052] It should be noted that the above effect can also be achieved by setting an inclined surface at the end of the winding section 21.

[0053] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
