[0033] This application provides a flexible fixing device, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, it includes a connecting seat 100 for installing fitness equipment, or a mounting seat 110 for installing fitness equipment is provided on the connecting seat 100, and a rope or cable 200 with both ends wrapped around the external environment and connected to the connecting seat 100. The fixing is completed by wrapping the rope or cable 200 around the external environment, such as a gantry, column, tree trunk, or other regular or irregular object and tightening the rope or cable 200.

[0034] The rope or cable 200 needs to be tightened or pre-tightened to secure it in the external environment. Tightening or pre-tightening can be achieved using a tightening device 300, a length adjustment device 210, or by giving the rope or cable 200 a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the rebound force generated after extension to complete the tightening or pre-tightening. Of course, the above methods can also be combined; for example, both a tightening device 300 and a length adjustment device 210 can be provided. When tightening, the length adjustment device 210 can be used first. The device 210 performs pre-tensioning, and then the tightening device 300 generates a larger pre-tensioning force to complete the tightening; or the length adjustment device 210 is set to make the rope or cable 200 elastic, the elasticity is used for pre-tensioning, and then the length adjustment device 210 is used to tighten it; or the tightening device 300 is set to make the rope or cable 200 elastic and the length adjustment device 210 is set, the length adjustment device 210 and the elastic rope or cable 200 are used for pre-tensioning, and then the tightening device 300 completes the tensioning of the rope or cable 200.

[0035] In some embodiments, there are multiple ropes or straps 200, some of which are tightened to secure the connector 100, and some of which are used to surround the external environment to provide insurance for the tightened ropes or straps 200 and prevent the connector 100 from slipping off if the fixation fails.

[0036] In some embodiments, the rope or cable 200 is broken in the middle and connected to each other via a quick-connect connector. This quick-connect connector allows the user to break the rope or cable 200 at the connector during installation, bypass the external environment, and then connect it via the quick-connect connector, improving installation convenience and versatility in different installation environments. In some embodiments, one end of the rope or cable 200 is quickly connected to the connector 100, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 The connecting seat 100 shown is provided with a columnar structure for the rope or cable 200 to pass through or wrap around, so that the rope or cable 200 can pass through the structure after wrapping around it to complete the quick connection with the connecting seat 100; in some embodiments, one end of the rope or cable 200 can also be connected to the connecting seat 100 through a quick-connect connector, which can also improve the convenience of installation and the versatility of the installation environment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the quick-connect connector includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are respectively connected to the two sections of rope or cable 200 at the break point, or one of the first connector and the second connector is connected to the end of the rope or cable 200, and the other is disposed on the connector seat 100. By quickly connecting and disconnecting the first connector and the second connector, the rope or cable 200 can be quickly connected or disconnected, or the rope or cable 200 can be quickly connected or disconnected from the connector seat 100. For example, the first connector and the second connector are female and male fasteners, or corresponding connectors and joints, or snap fasteners or side snap fasteners, or hooks or lobster buckles with corresponding connecting rings, or any existing quick-connect connector in the art.

[0038] In some embodiments, the fixing device further includes an extension rope or extension cable, with a first pair of connectors and a second pair of connectors connected to both ends of the extension rope or extension cable. That is, when the rope or cable 200 is not long enough, an extension rope or extension cable can be connected to one end of the rope or cable. At this time, the first connector or the second connector at one end of the extension rope or extension cable is connected to the second connector or the first connector at the end of the rope or cable 200, and the other end is connected to the rope or cable 200 or to the connecting seat 100, depending on the applicable situation.

[0039] In some embodiments, the tightening device 300 includes a reel 310, with one end of a rope or cable 200 wound around and fixed on the reel 310. The reel 310 rotates to wind and tighten the rope or cable 200. At this time, the portion of the rope or cable 200 wound on the reel 310 can be increased or decreased by rotating the reel 310, thereby achieving the tightening or loosening of the rope or cable 200.

[0040] In some embodiments, the tightening device 300 includes a movably configured tightening member 320, one end of a rope or cable 200 being connected to the tightening member 320. The tightening member 320 movably tightens the rope or cable 200. The shape of the tightening member 320 is not limited, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 8-10 As shown, it can be a shaft or a block structure. The connection between the rope or cable 200 and the tightening member 320 can be a fixed connection, a winding or wrapping connection, a hanging connection, or any other existing connection method with the rope or cable 200.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a handle 400, which can drive the scroll 310 to rotate, increase the torque, amplify the force applied by the user, and thus produce a better tightening effect. In some embodiments, the handle 400 is connected to the scroll 310 to drive the scroll 310 to rotate; in some embodiments, the handle 400 is connected to the tightening member 320 to drive the tightening member 320 to move.

[0042] In some embodiments, the spool 310 is connected to the connecting seat 100 via a first one-way transmission mechanism 330. The first one-way transmission mechanism 330 allows rotation in the tightening direction and locks rotation in the opposite direction. By adding the first one-way transmission mechanism 330, the tightening shaft can be directly locked after rotation. At this time, the force of rotating the tightening shaft is released, and the tightening shaft can also generate tightening force.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes a clutch device 340, which is used to release the lock of the first one-way transmission mechanism 330. That is, when the user needs to remove the fixing device, the one-way lock can be engaged through the clutch device 340 to unlock the device.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a second one-way transmission mechanism 350, which allows the handle 400 to drive the scroll 310 to rotate in one direction, but cannot drive the scroll 310 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0045] For example, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the rope or cable 200 is connected to the reel 310. The end of the reel 310 is connected to the connecting seat 100 through the first one-way transmission mechanism 330. The handle 400 is connected to the first one-way transmission mechanism 330. Rotating the handle 400 can drive the reel 310 to rotate through the first one-way transmission mechanism 330. When the handle 400 is released, the reel 310 can remain stationary, thus providing a tightening force. In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism is an external ratchet 331 and an external pawl. The handle 400 is connected to the reel 310 through a second transmission mechanism. Rotating outwards can drive the spool 310 to rotate, thereby winding the rope or cable. When rotating in the opposite direction, the second transmission mechanism disengages, the handle 400 can be reset, and then rotate forward again, further driving the spool 310 to rotate. In this embodiment, the second transmission mechanism is an inner ratchet 351 and an inner pawl 352. The clutch device 340 includes a protrusion and an unlocking bar 341 that are respectively connected to the inner pawl 352 and the outer pawl. By pressing the unlocking bar 341, the protrusion engages, thereby driving the inner pawl 352 and the outer pawl to rotate, causing the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism to fail.

[0046] In some embodiments, the handle 400 includes a cam wrench 410, which is rotatably connected to the tightening member 320. As the cam wrench 410 rotates, the minimum distance between the tightening member 320 and one side of the connecting seat 100 gradually increases or decreases. Figure 8-9 As shown, the tightening member 320 is allowed to slide in the connecting seat 100. When the cam wrench 410 rotates to the point where the protrusion passes the tightening member 320, the tightening member 320 is pushed to the limit position in the connecting seat 100, thereby providing a tightening force.

[0047] In some embodiments, the handle 400 forms a four-bar linkage with the connector and the connecting seat 100 via the link 420. Moving the handle 400 causes the tightening member 320 to move. Furthermore, when the handle 400 rotates to abut against the connecting seat 100, the four-bar linkage consisting of the connecting seat 100, the handle 400, the tightening member 320, and the link 420 passes the dead point, achieving self-locking and preventing disengagement.

[0048] Examples such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the handle 400 is hinged at one end to the tightening member 320 and in the middle to the connecting rod 420. The connecting rod 420 is hinged to the connecting seat 100. When the handle 400 is rotated until the hinge axis of the connecting seat 100 is continuously located at the hinge point of the connecting rod 420, the connecting rod 420 mechanism is at a dead point. Another example is... Figure 10As shown, the end of the handle 400 is hinged to the connecting seat 100, and the middle is hinged to the tightening member 320 through the connecting rod 420. The tightening member 320 moves on the connecting seat 100. At this time, when the handle 400 is rotated until the hinge point between the handle 400 and the connecting rod 420 is located on the line connecting the middle of the rotation of the handle 400 and the hinge point between the connecting rod 420 and the tightening member 320, the connecting rod 420 mechanism is at a dead point.

[0049] In some embodiments, by providing a handle locking mechanism 430, the rotation of the handle 400 can be locked or unlocked, thereby locking the tightening member 320 or the reel 310 via the handle 400, as exemplarily... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handle locking mechanism 430 locks the handle 400 when the handle 400 is rotated to be flush with the connecting seat 100. When unlocking, pressing the handle locking mechanism 430 disengages the hook at the bottom from the handle 400, and the handle 400 can then be rotated to unlock the fixing device.

[0050] In some embodiments, there are multiple ropes or cables 200, which can be quickly connected to or disconnected from the connecting seat 100. The multiple ropes or cables 200 have different lengths, and the user can select the appropriate length of rope or cable 200 according to the actual use.

[0051] In some embodiments, the rope or cable 200 is provided with an adjusting buckle for adjusting the length. Specifically, it can be a swivel buckle, a trapezoidal buckle, or any other buckle that can adjust the length. The adjusting buckle can tighten the rope or cable 200 and also make the rope or cable 200 adaptable to more installation environments.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, fixing blocks 220 can be threaded or fixedly installed on the rope or cable 200. When the rope or cable 200 is tensioned, the fixing blocks 220 can provide more stable pressure. The position of the fixing blocks 220 on the rope or cable 200 can be adjusted to suit different installation environments. By adjusting the position on the rope or cable 200, the fixing blocks 220 are positioned on the plane of the installation environment for fixation. Multiple fixing blocks 220 can be provided to adapt to multiple planes of the installation environment. Users can also choose the fixing blocks 220 to be threaded according to their needs. Furthermore, the fixing blocks 220 are provided with slots or holes. Users can insert anti-detachment pins into the slots or holes as needed to act on the external environment and further prevent the fixing device from accidentally slipping off.

[0053] In some embodiments, magnetic blocks or anti-slip blocks may be threaded or fixedly installed on the rope or cable 200 to increase the force between the rope or cable 200 and the external environment. The magnetic blocks also have an adsorption effect, which can prevent the fixing device from slipping off the external environment when it is not tensioned. Users can also choose to thread magnetic blocks and / or assist blocks according to their needs. In some embodiments, magnetic blocks or anti-slip blocks may also be provided on the inner side of the connecting seat 100. The anti-slip blocks are provided on the surface, and the magnetic blocks are provided on the surface or inside the inner side of the connecting seat 100. This can also increase the force between the connecting seat 100 and the external environment, making the connection more stable when tensioned and preventing the fixing device from accidentally slipping off when not tensioned.
