Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cage buckle technology, specifically to a cage buckle. Background Technology

[0002] Cable clips are essential electrical accessories primarily used to secure and connect wires, ensuring the stability and safety of electrical systems. Cable clips are typically made of durable materials such as nylon and stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to pressure, tension, and corrosion. They come in various designs, including spiral, spring, and snap-on types, to accommodate different wire specifications and connection requirements. Widely used in electrical control cabinets, electronic equipment, and machinery, they provide reliable solutions for wire connections. When selecting cable clips, factors such as wire specifications, operating environment requirements, and connection strength must be considered to ensure the clips meet practical needs and guarantee the normal operation of the electrical system.

[0003] Some existing clip-on slides have a top that is flush with the slide opening. When assembled into the device, the friction between the spring and the wire is small, and the pull-out force between the terminal and the connector is insufficient, resulting in an insecure assembly.

[0004] To address this issue, we designed a cage buckle. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cage buckle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cage buckle, including two limiting parts. Each limiting part has a sliding opening inside. A sliding plate is provided at one end of the sliding opening. The top of the sliding plate is provided with barbs. The sliding plate abuts against one end of the limiting part, but the two sides of the sliding plate do not touch the limiting part. The top of the sliding plate extends out of both ends of the sliding opening. The axis of symmetry of the sliding plate coincides with the axis of symmetry of the sliding opening. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the sliding opening. The arrangement of the two limiting parts, the sliding opening, and the sliding plate can enhance the insertion and extraction force and make the cage buckle assembly more secure.

[0007] Furthermore, the width of the limiting part is 5.25cm, the width of the sliding opening is 3.60cm, and the width of the sliding plate is 3.00cm. The tolerances of the limiting part, the sliding opening, and the sliding plate are all ±0.05cm. Reasonable dimensions can make the assembly more reasonable and avoid the instability of the connection between the wires due to the loose connection, which would cause the wires to malfunction.

[0008] Furthermore, a second opening is provided between the two slide plates, and a pressing plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the two slide plates. The pressing plate has grooves on both sides, and a concave plate is provided inside the groove. The concave plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing plate. In use, the concave plates first contact the back plate. The concave plate design can prevent the slide plate from getting stuck in the bottom of the limiting part, which would cause damage to the cage buckle.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance between every two grooves is 2.65cm with a tolerance of +0.1cm, making the installation process more reasonable.

[0010] Furthermore, a U-shaped elastic element is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressing plate, and a back plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the U-shaped elastic element.

[0011] Furthermore, two limiting parts are stacked and installed on the top of the back plate, and a first opening is provided between the two limiting parts. The width of the limiting part is 5.25cm, and the tolerance is ±0.05cm. If the size is too large or too small, the connection may fail.

[0012] Furthermore, a cavity is provided between the back plate and the pressing plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the U-shaped elastic element is bent, it drives the sliding plate, pressing plate and concave plate to move into the cavity at the same time. Under normal conditions, the sliding plate should protrude from one end of the sliding opening. When the sliding plate moves along the sliding opening to the lowest end of the sliding opening, the sliding plate is placed inside the cavity. The top of the sliding plate is left with a small distance from the inner side of the sliding opening, which facilitates the installation of the cage buckle and avoids the cage buckle from failing to properly connect the wires at both ends. The protruding design increases the friction between the spring and the wire when the cage buckle connects the wires, solving the problem of insufficient pull-out force of the terminal and connector. The pull-out force is increased by 1.5-2 times compared with ordinary springs.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when installing by pressing the groove, the concave plate will first come into contact with the back plate. At this time, the slide plate and the inner wall of the limiting part are a certain distance apart, which avoids the situation where the groove is subjected to excessive force, causing the U-shaped elastic element to exceed the bending limit and fail, or the top of the slide plate gets stuck in the inner wall of the limiting part and cannot be pulled out, causing the cage buckle to fail.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cage buckle, including a limiting part 1, two limiting parts 1 are provided, each limiting part 1 has a sliding opening 2 inside, a sliding plate 3 is provided at one end of the sliding opening 2, the top of the sliding plate 3 is provided with barbs, the sliding plate 3 abuts against one end of the limiting part 1, the sides of the sliding plate 3 are not in contact with the limiting part 1, the top of the sliding plate 3 extends out of the upper end of the sliding opening 2, the axis of symmetry of the sliding plate 3 coincides with the axis of symmetry of the sliding opening 2, the sliding plate 3 is slidably connected to the sliding opening 2, the width of the limiting part 1 is 5.25cm, the width of the sliding opening 2 is 3.60cm, the width of the sliding plate 3 is 3.00cm, the tolerance of the limiting part 1, the sliding opening 2 and the sliding plate 3 are all ±0.05cm, the top of the back plate 8 is stacked and installed with two limiting parts 1, a first opening 9 is provided between the two limiting parts 1, the width of the limiting part 1 is 5.25cm, and the tolerance is ±0.05cm.

[0021] In practice, pressing the groove 6 causes the U-shaped elastic element 7 to bend and simultaneously move the slide plate 3, pressing plate 4, and concave plate 5 into the cavity 10. Under normal conditions, the slide plate 3 protrudes from one end of the slide opening 2. When the slide plate 3 moves along the slide opening 2 to the lowest end of the slide opening 2, the slide plate 3 is placed inside the cavity 10, and there is a small distance between the top of the slide plate 3 and the inner side of the slide opening 2 to facilitate the installation of the cage buckle and prevent the cage buckle from failing to connect the wires at both ends correctly. The reasonable size also ensures the accuracy of the connection. Otherwise, the wires at both ends will not be able to connect, and the subsequent maintenance will require a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources. The protruding setting increases the friction between the spring and the wire when the cage buckle connects the wires at both ends, solving the problem of insufficient pull-out force of the terminal and connector. The pull-out force is increased by 1.5-2 times compared to ordinary springs.

[0022] See Figure 1-3As shown, a second opening 11 is provided between the two slide plates 3. A pressing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the two slide plates 3. A groove 6 is provided on both sides of the pressing plate 4. A concave plate 5 is provided inside the groove 6. The concave plates 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing plate 4. The distance between each two grooves 6 is 2.65cm with a tolerance of +0.1cm. A cavity 10 is provided between the back plate 8 and the pressing plate 4.

[0023] When the groove 6 is pressed for assembly, the concave plate 5 will first come into contact with the back plate 8. At this time, the slide plate 3 is a certain distance away from the inner wall of the limiting part 1, which avoids the groove 6 being subjected to excessive force, causing the U-shaped elastic element 7 to exceed the bending limit and fail, or the top of the slide plate 3 to get stuck in the inner wall of the limiting part 1 and not be able to be pulled out, thus causing the cage buckle to fail.

[0024] See Figure 1-3 As shown, a U-shaped elastic element 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressing plate 4, and a back plate 8 is fixedly installed at the other end of the U-shaped elastic element 7.

[0025] Working principle: When assembling the cage buckle, pressing the groove 6 causes the U-shaped elastic element 7 to bend and simultaneously move the slide plate 3, pressing plate 4, and concave plate 5 into the cavity 10. Under normal conditions, the slide plate 3 protrudes from one end of the slide opening 2. When the slide plate 3 moves along the slide opening 2 to the lowest end of the slide opening 2, the slide plate 3 is placed inside the cavity 10, and there is a small distance between the top of the slide plate 3 and the inner side of the slide opening 2, which facilitates the installation of the cage buckle and prevents the cage buckle from failing to properly connect the wires at both ends. The protruding design increases the friction between the spring and the wire when the cage buckle connects the wires at both ends, solving the problem of insufficient pull-out force of the terminal and connector. The pull-out force is increased by 1.5-2 times compared to ordinary springs.

[0026] When the groove 6 is pressed to connect, the concave plate 5 will first come into contact with the back plate 8. At this time, the slide plate 3 is a certain distance away from the inner wall of the limiting part 1, which avoids the groove 6 being subjected to excessive force, causing the U-shaped elastic element 7 to exceed the bending limit and fail, or the top of the slide plate 3 to get stuck in the inner wall of the limiting part 1 and not be able to be pulled out, thus causing the cage buckle to fail.
