Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Bundling straps are used for bundling long products such as cables and wiring, bundling bag openings, and packing luggage. They are widely used in the automotive, construction, home appliance, electrical and electronic, and daily necessities industries. As for the materials used in bundling straps, crystalline resins such as nylon 66 and nylon 6 polyamide resins are known. They include a strong perforated end that extends from a slender and flexible tail.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent for a cable tie (authorization announcement number CN209258743U), which consists of an open buckle, buckle teeth, belt teeth, and a retaining strap. This patented technology solves the problem that existing cable ties are difficult to insert the retaining strap into the buckle in low light conditions. The retaining strap can bypass the binding material to the buckle end, and the retaining strap can be directly pressed into the buckle and tightened, which is efficient, fast, and easy to operate.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned devices still have some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that most of the cable ties on the market are made of non-degradable plastic. The advantages of this type of cable tie are low cost, simple operation, and quick fixation of cables, pipes, etc. However, traditional cable ties are difficult to degrade after being discarded, and long-term residue will pollute the soil and water sources, which does not meet environmental protection requirements. In addition, after the buckle teeth on the above-mentioned buckle are worn, the entire cable tie will be discarded, resulting in a great waste. Utility Model Content

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the groove is slightly larger than the thickness of the belt body, and the teeth are engaged with the groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the biting state, the teeth and grooves can be fixed more tightly.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the belt is elongated, with a width of 8-12 mm and a thickness of 1-2 mm.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a rectangular structure is used to bind the items.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the raised portion is located at the end of the belt away from the buckle, and the height of the teeth is 1-1.5 mm and the spacing is 2-3 mm.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the raised part is designed to allow workers to insert the head of the belt into the corresponding slot.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a wear-resistant component is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the belt, and the wear-resistant component is made of polyhydroxyalkanoate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, wear-resistant components made of polyhydroxyalkanoate are also biodegradable materials with excellent physical properties such as strength, flexibility and heat resistance.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, the cable tie body is made of polylactic acid material, which is a biodegradable material with good biocompatibility and degradability. When the cable tie body is discarded, the tie and the buckle are gradually decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms in the soil or water until they are completely degraded. By replacing traditional plastic with a biodegradable material, the original self-locking structure design can be retained, ensuring that the function remains unchanged while solving the environmental protection problem.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a double latching tongue with a main latching tongue and a secondary latching tongue, the teeth can be self-locked and fixed with the secondary latching tongue after the groove in the main latching tongue is worn, thereby reducing the situation where the entire cable tie body is discarded.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 A biodegradable cable tie includes a cable tie body 1, which includes a raised portion 101, a band body 102, teeth 103, and a buckle 104. The cable tie body 1 is made of polylactic acid material. Multiple teeth 103 are provided and are integrally formed with the band body 102 by injection molding. The multiple teeth 103 are arranged at equal intervals. One end of the band body 102 is fixedly connected to the buckle 104, and a locking component is provided inside the buckle 104. The entire cable tie body 1 is made of polylactic acid material, which is a biodegradable material with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. When the cable tie body 1 is discarded, the band body 102 and the buckle 104 are gradually decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms in soil or water until they are completely degraded. By replacing traditional plastic with biodegradable material, the original self-locking structure design can be retained, ensuring that the function remains unchanged while solving environmental protection problems.

[0030] Specifically, the locking assembly includes two slots 2 formed inside the latch 104. A main latch 1041 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of one slot 2, and a secondary latch 1043 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the other slot 2. The teeth 103 on the strap 102 can engage with the grooves 1042 inside the latch 104 to achieve self-locking, thus facilitating the binding of objects. The locking assembly also includes several grooves 1042 formed at the bottom of the main latch 1041 and the secondary latch 1043. The dual-latch design of the main latch 1041 and the secondary latch 1043 allows the teeth 103 to self-lock with the secondary latch 1043 after the groove 1042 in the main latch 1041 wears down. This reduces the likelihood of the entire cable tie body 1 being discarded. The groove 1042 and the teeth 103 work together, with the slot 2 being slightly larger than the thickness of the cable tie body 102. The teeth 103 and the groove 1042 are in an interlocking state. This interlocking state design allows the teeth 103 and the groove 1042 to be more tightly fixed.

[0031] Specifically, the belt body 102 is elongated, with a width of 8-12 mm and a thickness of 1-2 mm. The raised part 101 is located at the end of the belt body 102 away from the buckle 104. The teeth 103 have a height of 1-1.5 mm and a spacing of 2-3 mm. A wear-resistant component 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the belt body 102. The wear-resistant component 3 is made of polyhydroxyalkanoate, which is also a biodegradable material. It has excellent physical properties such as strength, flexibility, and heat resistance, which can meet the usage requirements of different scenarios and reduce further wear of the belt body 102.

[0032] Working principle: First, by utilizing the teeth 103 on the strap body 102 to engage with the grooves 1042 in the buckle 104, a self-locking purpose can be achieved, facilitating the binding of objects. Furthermore, the double-latch design of the main latch 1041 and the secondary latch 1043 allows the teeth 103 to self-lock with the secondary latch 1043 after the grooves 1042 in the main latch 1041 wear down, thus reducing the likelihood of the entire cable tie body 1 being discarded. The cable tie body 1 is made entirely of polylactic acid, a biodegradable material with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. When the cable tie body 1 is discarded, the strap body 102 and the buckle 104 gradually decompose into carbon dioxide and water through microbial action in soil or water until complete degradation. By replacing traditional plastic with a biodegradable material, the original self-locking structure design is preserved, ensuring functionality while addressing environmental issues.
