[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] This utility model provides an integrated clamp, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a deformable, integrally molded main body 1. The head end 2 and tail end 3 of the main body 1 are brought close together to form a U-shape, used to encircle the object to be fixed. The head end 2 and tail end 3 taper inwards at the opening of the U-shaped main body 1, forming a first clamping part 4 and a second clamping part 5, respectively. These two clamping parts are equipped with a tension adjustment component 9, which allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two clamping parts.

[0037] When it is necessary to clamp the object to be fixed, simply adjust the tension adjustment component 9 to bring the two clamping parts closer together, so that the main body 1 can tightly hold the object to be fixed; conversely, when it is necessary to release the object to be fixed, adjust the tension adjustment component 9 to move the two clamping parts away from each other, and the main body 1 will then release the object to be fixed. In addition, the outer end of the second clamping part 5 is also designed with an anti-disengagement guard 6 to limit the radial disengagement of the outer end of the first clamping part 4. This design can effectively prevent the first clamping part 4 from shifting during use, thereby further improving the clamping ability of the clamp's structural components and ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamp.

[0038] The main body 1 is made of a flexible material, preferably a high polymer material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride, etc. The high polymer material has strong plasticity and good processability, and can be molded into various complex shapes through simple injection molding and extrusion processes. Compared with existing solutions, the processing time is greatly shortened, the process is simplified, and the labor cost is reduced. In addition, the high polymer material has a small density and a lower weight than iron-based materials, making the product more convenient to transport and install. The high polymer material has good resistance to acids and bases and is more corrosion-resistant than iron-based materials, allowing it to maintain long-term stable use in harsh environments. The production cost of the high polymer material is relatively low, making it suitable for mass production.

[0039] Regarding the shape of the part of the main body 1 that surrounds the object to be fixed, the present case does not limit it to a rectangular ring shape or a circular ring shape, as long as the design can tightly and effectively fit the outer circumference of the object to be fixed to achieve a stable clamping effect. The specific shape should be selected according to the actual assembly requirements.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , at least one set of corresponding through holes is provided on the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5. The first clamping part 4 has a first through hole 41, and the second clamping part 5 has a second through hole 51. The axis of the through hole extends along the moving direction of the clamping part. A set of tension adjustment assemblies 9 is arranged in each set of corresponding through holes. The locking and loosening of the tension adjustment assembly 9 drives the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5 to move closer or further away from each other. The tension adjustment assembly 9 can use a bolt 91 and a nut 92 assembly. The bolt 91 penetrates the clamping part from the outside of the through hole and is connected to the nut 92. The operator can control the clamping or loosening of the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5 by tightening or loosening the bolt 91, thereby causing the hoop main body 1 to tighten or loosen the object to be fixed.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second clamping part 5 and the anti-disengagement stop 6 form a reverse Z shape, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 The top of the reverse Z shape extends towards the first clamping part 4, forming the anti-disengagement stop 6. Meanwhile, the outer end of the first clamping part 4 has a protruding edge 7, which forms a limiting relationship with the anti-disengagement stop 6 on the second clamping part 5. The first clamping part 4 and the protruding edge 7 form a forward Z shape. There is a certain gap between the front end of the protruding edge 7 and the second clamping part 5 to allow the main body 1 to deform. When the tension adjustment assembly 9 locks the clamping part, the protruding edge 7 on the first clamping part 4 will move towards the anti-disengagement stop 6 on the second clamping part 5 and radially abut the anti-disengagement stop 6. This design effectively prevents the hoop from shifting during use, thereby further improving the tightening ability and stability of the hoop.

[0042] In order to improve the convenience of the hoop assembly, a limiting block 8 is designed on the second clamping part 5, and the limiting block 8 is used for limiting the circumferential rotation of part of the parts in the tightness adjusting assembly 9. Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the outer end of the second clamping part 5 is folded away from the first clamping part 4, and then the limiting block 8 is formed above the second through hole 51 of the second clamping part 5. When assembling, the nut 92 is placed on this side of the second clamping part 5, and the bolt 91 is arranged from the first clamping part 4 to the first clamping part 4 and connected with the nut 92. Due to the existence of the limiting block 8, it effectively limits the rotation of the nut 92, so that we only need to rotate the bolt 91 to realize quick locking, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0043] As a further improvement of the structure, the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5 are designed as parallel structures. In this way, the corresponding through holes on the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5 can be better guaranteed to be on the same axis, thereby ensuring that the tightness adjusting assembly 9 can be uniformly stressed when clamping, improving the clamping force and making the hoop more stable and reliable.

[0044] The utility model also provides the use scene that the hoop is used for fastening connecting piece 11 and rectangular section bar 10, and reference Figure 6 Compared with the existing scheme of directly connecting the section bar 10 and the connecting piece 11 by using the bolt 91, the scheme of the present application adopts the hoop, and the fixing capacity is stronger.

[0045] In another embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 7 The second clamping part 5 and the anti-escape stopper 6 form a reverse Z-shaped structure, and the top of the reverse Z-shaped structure extends to the first clamping part 4 to form the anti-escape stopper 6. However, the first clamping part 4 is in a positive L-shaped structure, and the top of the positive L-shaped structure is not folded. The top of the positive L-shaped structure forms a limiting relationship with the anti-escape stopper 6. When the tightness adjusting assembly 9 locks the clamping part, the upper end of the first clamping part 4 approaches the anti-escape stopper 6 on the second clamping part 5 and radially abuts against the anti-escape stopper 6, preventing deviation and further improving the fastening capacity of the hoop.

These drawings are part of the disclosure of the utility model, which is mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be combined with the related description of the specification to explain the operating principle of the embodiments.
