[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0027] This utility model discloses a cable clamp for a distribution box. The cable clamp is an insulating component. (Reference)Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cable clamp for the distribution box in this embodiment includes a base 100, a cover plate 200, and a limiting member 300. The base 100 is used for fixed connection with the distribution box. The base 100 includes a support portion 110 and two guide portions 120 connected to the support portion 110. The guide portions 120 are provided with a plurality of first mating teeth 121 spaced apart along their height direction. The cover plate 200 is slidably connected to the guide portions 120. The limiting member 300 is connected to the cover plate 200 and can cooperate with the first mating teeth 121 to limit the cover plate 200 at a fixed height. The support portion 110, the two guide portions 120, and the cover plate 200 together form a clamping space for clamping cables. At least one of the cover plate 200 and the support portion 110 is provided with a corrugated structure.

[0028] Understandably, since the cable clamp in the distribution box is an insulated component, there is no risk of leakage after the distribution box cables are confined within the clamping space. Because the cover plate 200 is slidably connected to the guide portion 120, its position can be adjusted according to the cable type during actual operation. This allows the cable clamp in this embodiment to accommodate various cable types. Furthermore, the cover plate 200 is equipped with a limiting member 300. When the cover plate 200 slides to a designated position, the limiting member 300 engages with the first mating tooth 121 to limit the cover plate 200 to a fixed height, ensuring clamping stability and improving the installation efficiency of the cable clamp, facilitating installation and disassembly. In addition, at least one of the cover plate 200 and the support portion 110 has a corrugated structure. This corrugated structure stably clamps the distribution box cables, preventing cable movement and ensuring the neatness of the wiring within the distribution box.

[0029] Optionally, the base 100, cover plate 200 and limiting member 300 are made of flexible polyamide material. Of course, other insulating materials can also be selected according to actual needs.

[0030] refer to Figure 3As shown, the cover plate 200 has a mating groove 210 extending along its length. The limiting member 300 includes a second mating tooth disposed on the side wall of the mating groove 210. When the first mating tooth 121 and the second mating tooth are engaged, the cover plate 200 is fixed relative to the base 100. When the two guide parts 120 are pressed and bent toward each other, the first mating tooth 121 disengages from the second mating tooth. It can be understood that in actual operation, when the position of the cover plate 200 needs to be adjusted, simply pressing the two guide parts 120 and bending them toward each other disengages the first mating tooth 121 from the second mating tooth, allowing the cover plate 200 to be adjusted up and down. After adjustment, releasing the two guide parts 120 allows the second mating tooth to re-engage with the first mating tooth 121, thus fixing the cover plate 200 at a specified height. By setting the limiting member 300 as a second mating tooth formed on the cover plate 200, no other additional components are needed when locking and releasing the cover plate 200, simplifying user operation.

[0031] Optionally, there are two second mating teeth, and the two second mating teeth are respectively arranged on both sides of the mating groove 210 along its length direction. It can be understood that since there are two guide parts 120, there are also two second mating teeth, and the two second mating teeth are respectively arranged on both sides of the mating groove 210 along its length direction. After the position of the cover plate 200 is adjusted, both second mating teeth can re-mate with the first mating tooth 121, and both ends of the cover plate 200 along its length direction are fixed, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate 200.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment, the cover plate 200 is provided with a mating groove 210 extending along its length, the guide portion 120 is fitted into the mating groove 210, and the cover plate 200 is also provided with a limiting hole communicating with the mating groove 210. The limiting member 300 includes a limiting pin inserted into the limiting hole, the limiting pin being able to be inserted between two first mating teeth 121 to fix the cover plate 200. It is understood that in actual operation, when the height of the cover plate 200 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to pull the limiting pin out partially, disengaging it from the first mating teeth 121, then adjust the height of the cover plate 200. After adjustment, the limiting pin is pressed to insert it back between the two first mating teeth 121 to fix the cover plate 200. By setting the limiting member 300 as a limiting pin, it is not necessary to press the two guide portions 120 during adjustment, making the operation more labor-saving.

[0033] Optional, see reference Figure 1As shown, the cover plate 200 has a first corrugated structure 111, and the support portion 110 has a second corrugated structure 220. The crests of the first corrugated structure 111 and the crests of the second corrugated structure 220 are staggered. It can be understood that the first corrugated structure 111 on the cover plate 200 and the second corrugated structure 220 on the support portion 110 facilitate stable cable securing in the distribution box, preventing cable swaying and ensuring the neatness of the wiring inside the distribution box. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the crests of the first corrugated structure 111 and the second corrugated structure 220 allows the cable to be secured between the crests of the first corrugated structure 111 and the troughs of the second corrugated structure 220, further enhancing the stability of the distribution box cables.

[0034] Optional, see reference Figure 1 As shown, each of the two guide portions 120 has multiple locking teeth 122 on its surface facing each other, and the multiple locking teeth 122 are spaced apart along the height direction of the guide portion 120. It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the locking teeth 122, together with the first corrugated structure 111 and the second corrugated structure 220, make the four side walls of the locking space not flat surfaces. The uneven surface is beneficial for locking the distribution box cables, making them more stable inside the cable locking space.

[0035] refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the support part 110 is provided with a fixing part 130 extending in a direction away from the cover plate 200. The fixing part 130 is used to connect with the distribution box. By setting the fixing part 130 to connect with the distribution box, the installation of the cable clamps in the distribution box can be facilitated, and a certain distance can be maintained between the installation position of the cable clamps and the distribution box and the snap-fit ​​space. This avoids the installation structure of the cable clamps affecting the cables in the distribution box and ensures a more aesthetically pleasing wiring inside the distribution box.

[0036] Optionally, the fixing part 130 is provided with a fixing hole 1321, through which the fixing member passes and connects to the distribution box to fix the distribution box cable clamp to the distribution box. It can be understood that by using a fixing member passing through the fixing hole 1321 to install the distribution box cable clamp, on the one hand, it facilitates the installation of the distribution box cable clamp, improving installation and disassembly efficiency; on the other hand, it helps to improve the overall installation stability of the distribution box cable clamp, thereby ensuring the stability of the distribution box cables.

[0037] Optionally, there are two fixing parts 130, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the support part 110 along its length. The two fixing parts 130 can further improve the installation stability of the distribution box cable clamp, thereby ensuring the stability of the distribution box cables. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, three, four, or even more fixing parts 130 can be provided according to actual needs.

[0038] Optionally, the fixing part 130 includes an inclined section 131 and a straight section 132. One end of the inclined section 131 is connected to the support part 110, and the other end is connected to the straight section 132. The straight section 132 is arranged parallel to the support part 110, and a fixing hole 1321 is provided on the straight section 132. It can be understood that the fixing hole 1321 is provided on the straight section 132, and the straight section 132 is arranged parallel to the support part 110. This ensures that the support part 110 remains at a fixed angle (horizontal or vertical) after installation, thereby improving the aesthetics of the wiring inside the distribution box. The inclined section allows for a larger gap between the cable clamps and the installation position and clamping space of the distribution box, preventing the installation structure of the cable clamps from affecting the cables in the distribution box and ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing wiring arrangement inside the distribution box.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
