[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insulating pad fixing technology, and in particular relates to a novel insulating pad fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] The State Grid Corporation of China Safety Facilities Standard Part 4: Hydropower Plants (Q / GDW 434.4—2012) requires that "B.3.4.2 Insulating mats of the appropriate voltage level should be installed at the standing positions of workers in front of and behind the distribution panel cabinets".
[0003] Currently, there are a large number of electrical control panels and cabinets at power production sites, which are scattered and result in a wide working area and numerous points for laying insulation mats.
[0004] Traditional insulating mats are laid directly on the ground. Some insulating mats are laid in main passageways. When maintenance personnel are inspecting or conducting electrical tests on distribution cabinets and need to move various instruments, meters and other necessary tools, they will inevitably step on or come into contact with these insulating mats, which often leads to the insulating mats moving or becoming misaligned.
[0005] Furthermore, insulating mats are prone to warping at the edges due to aging and dirt accumulation during long-term use. This not only affects the appearance of the production site but also poses a safety hazard as it can easily cause maintenance personnel to trip over them.
[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, designing a new type of insulating pad fixing device has become an urgent and important task in the industry. Utility Model Content
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and design a new type of fixing device for insulating pads. This new type of fixing device for insulating pads has a simple structure and is easy to install; it solves the problems of insulating pad movement, misalignment and curling.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0009] A novel fixing device for insulating pads,
[0010] Its features are,
[0011] It contains several buckles and several card slots.
[0012] The buckle is fixed to the side of the insulating pad that contacts the ground.
[0013] The slot is set on the ground where the insulating pad is to be fixed.
[0014] The buckle and the slot correspond to each other.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the buckle is a spring clip buckle.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the buckle includes a housing.
[0017] The outer casing is provided with a fixing groove and a fixing plate.
[0018] The outer casing has a limiting hole on its side for the fixing plate to extend out of the casing.
[0019] A spring is installed inside the fixing groove.
[0020] The spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixed plate.
[0021] The end of the fixing plate is provided with a bevel.
[0022] The card slot is provided with a fixing groove corresponding to the fixing plate.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the slot is a circular slot with a diameter of 1cm.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing groove is a right triangle.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes hook and loop fasteners.
[0026] One side of the hook and loop fastener is fixed to the edge of the insulating pad.
[0027] The other side of the hook and loop fastener is fixed to the ground where the insulating pad is to be fixed.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hook and loop fastener is a nylon-backed hook and loop fastener.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] This utility model discloses a novel fixing device for insulating mats, comprising several buckles and several slots. The buckles are fixed on the side of the insulating mat that contacts the ground, and the slots are set on the ground where the insulating mat is to be fixed.

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:
[0040] It should be noted that the structures, colors, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.
[0041] Meanwhile, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in this specification are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.
[0042] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a novel fixing device for insulating mats, comprising several buckles 1 and several slots 2. The buckles 1 are fixed on the side of the insulating mat 3 that contacts the ground 4, and the slots 2 are set on the ground 4 where the insulating mat 3 is to be fixed. The positions, sizes and structures of the buckles 1 and the slots 2 are all corresponding. The insulating mat 3 is fixed to the ground 4 by inserting the buckles 1 into the slots 2. The fixing method is simple, convenient and easy to install.
[0043] Multiple slots 2 and buckles 1 are provided, which can be adjusted appropriately according to the different areas of the insulating pads 3. The multiple buckles 1 and slots 2 make the fixing of the insulating pads 3 more stable.
[0044] Buckle 1 adopts spring buckle 1, and can directly select existing U-shaped spring buckle, spring plate buckle, one-way buckle or elastic plate buckle on the market.
[0045] The spring clip has a simple structure and operation, and the installation process is quick and easy; the high elastic strength of the spring ensures the stability and reliability of the connection and is not easy to fall off; the spring clip has good vibration absorption performance, which can effectively buffer the vibration and impact during mechanical operation; in addition, the spring clip is available in a wide variety of models and specifications to meet the application needs of different occasions.
[0046] Preferably, the spring clip 1 is made of high-quality spring steel, which has high heat strength and corrosion resistance, and is not easily damaged during long-term use.
[0047] The buckle 1 includes a housing 1-1, which is hollow inside. A support rod 1-2 and a fixing plate 1-3 are provided inside the housing 1-1. A spring 1-4 is fixed to the side of the fixing plate 1-3 and the fixing plate 1-3 is fixed to the other side of the spring 1-4. A limiting hole is provided on the side of the housing 1-1 for the fixing plate 1-3 to extend out of the housing 1-1. An inclined surface 1-5 is provided at the end of the fixing plate 1-3. A fixing groove 2-1 corresponding to the fixing plate 1-3 is provided in the buckle 2.
[0048] During use, the buckle 1 is placed into the slot 2. The fixing plate 1-3 is squeezed by the inner wall of the slot 2 and retracts into the outer shell 1-1 until the fixing plate 1-3 contacts the fixing groove 2-1. The elastic force of the spring 1-4 causes the fixing plate 1-3 to extend out of the limiting hole and enter the fixing groove 2-1, so that the buckle 1 and the slot 2 are connected and the insulating pad 3 is fixed on the ground 4.
[0049] The fixed plate 1-3 has a slope 1-5 at its end. The slope 1-5 at the end of the fixed plate 1-3 allows the buckle 1 to slowly retract along the inside of the slot 2 during the process of being inserted into the slot 2, making it easier for the buckle 1 to enter the inside of the slot 2.
[0050] Card slot 2 is a circular card slot with a diameter of 1cm. Card slot 2 has a small structure, and the corresponding buckle 1 is also small in size, making it easy to carry.
[0051] The cross-sectional shape of the fixing groove 2-1 is a right triangle. The fixing plate 1-3 is provided with an inclined surface 1-5, so that the side view of its end is triangular. The shape and structure of the fixing groove 2-1 are consistent with the shape and structure of the fixing plate 1-3, so that the fixing plate 1-3 can extend into and retract.
[0052] When it is necessary to remove buckle 1, press the outer shell 1-1 of buckle 1 to make the fixing plate 1-3 disengage from the fixing groove 2-1. Continue downward, the fixing plate 1-3 is retracted into the outer shell 1-1 by the force inside the groove 2, and buckle 1 can be removed.
[0053] It also includes hook and loop fasteners. One side of the hook and loop fastener is fixed to the edge of the insulating pad 3, and the other side of the hook and loop fastener is fixed to the ground 4 on which the insulating pad 3 is to be fixed. By sticking the edge of the insulating pad 3 to the ground 4, the insulating pad 3 can be effectively fixed, preventing the insulating pad 3 from shifting and ensuring that the insulating pad 3 will not curl up due to aging.
[0054] The hook and loop fasteners are made of nylon with adhesive backing. The back of the nylon hook and loop fasteners is covered with an adhesive layer, allowing them to be directly attached to various smooth surfaces without the need for additional attachments or complicated installation processes.
[0055] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
