Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide rail clamp technology, specifically a guide rail clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern electrical equipment installation, DIN rail mounting, as a standardized and modular connection method, is widely used in scenarios such as distribution cabinets, control cabinets, and automated production lines. By quickly and securely fixing electrical components (such as terminals, circuit breakers, relays, etc.) to the DIN rail using DIN rail clamps, installation efficiency can be effectively improved, facilitating later maintenance and repair. However, existing DIN rail clamps have many problems in practical use, which restricts the overall efficiency of electrical equipment installation.

[0003] Currently, most common guide rail clamps use traditional snap-on or bolt-fixed structures. While snap-on guide rail clamps are convenient to install, under complex operating conditions such as vibration and impact, the snaps are prone to loosening due to fatigue or external forces, leading to displacement or even detachment of electrical components, seriously affecting the stability and safety of the electrical system. For example, inside machinery that experiences frequent vibration in industrial production, terminals fixed with snap-on guide rail clamps may gradually loosen due to vibration, leading to problems such as poor contact and circuit failure.

[0004] While bolt-fixed guide rail clamps offer relatively reliable fixation, the installation process is cumbersome, requiring screwdrivers, wrenches, and other tools to tighten the bolts. This not only consumes significant time and manpower but also carries the risk of uneven tightening due to improper installation, affecting the fixation effect. Furthermore, bolt-fixed systems are difficult to disassemble and reinstall quickly, significantly increasing maintenance and time costs during electrical equipment repairs or component replacements.

[0005] Furthermore, existing guide rail clamps have poor versatility, often only compatible with guide rails and electrical components of specific specifications and shapes, failing to meet diverse installation needs. When faced with different models of guide rails or electrical components, it is necessary to replace them with corresponding guide rail clamps, increasing the cost and complexity of equipment installation.

[0006] As electrical equipment evolves towards miniaturization, integration, and high reliability, higher demands are placed on the ease of installation, connection stability, and versatility of guide rail clamps. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of guide rail clamp to address the aforementioned problems of existing clamps and improve the overall quality and efficiency of electrical equipment installation. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a guide rail clamp that has the advantages of easy installation, high stability, and ease of use.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a guide rail clamp, comprising a mounting block, a sliding groove on the top of the mounting block, a locking frame slidably connected inside the sliding groove, a first groove on the front and rear sides of the left side of the inner wall of the sliding groove, a first positioning post fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the first groove, a second groove on the front and rear sides of the left side of the locking frame, a second positioning post fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the second groove, a compression spring fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the first groove, the other end of the compression spring being fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the second groove, the first positioning post and the second positioning post being located inside the compression spring, a guide rail groove on the bottom of the mounting block, the guide rail groove communicating with the sliding groove, a locking block fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the inner wall of the guide rail groove, a guide rail body being disposed inside the guide rail groove, and the locking frame and the locking block being fitted against the guide rail body.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a guide rail clamp includes a mounting block 1. The top of the mounting block 1 has a sliding groove 2. A locking frame 3 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 2. The front and rear sides of the left side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 2 are provided with first grooves 4. A first positioning post 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the first groove 4. The front and rear sides of the left side of the locking frame 3 are provided with second grooves 6. A second positioning post 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the second groove 6. A compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the first groove 4. The other end of the compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the second groove 6. The first positioning post 5 and the second positioning post 7 are both located inside the compression spring 8. The bottom of the mounting block 1 is provided with a guide rail groove 9, which communicates with the sliding groove 2. Locking blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the inner wall of the guide rail groove 9. A guide rail body 14 is provided inside the guide rail groove 9. The locking frame 3 and the locking block 10 are both in contact with the guide rail body 14.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 Mounting blocks 1 have mounting openings 12 on the front and rear sides of the bottom sides, and receiving grooves 11 on the top and bottom sides.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, mounting openings 12 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the mounting block 1, and receiving grooves 11 are provided on the top and bottom sides. The presence of mounting openings 12 facilitates the installation personnel to connect and fix this device to terminals or other electrical components using bolts. The operator simply passes the bolt through the mounting opening 12 from bottom to top and then connects it to the terminal using a threaded connection. The receiving grooves 11 can accommodate the bolt, preventing the bolt from protruding and affecting the normal use of the device, thus improving the convenience and practicality of the guide rail clamp in actual use.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the compression spring 8 is coated with anti-rust paint.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, spraying anti-rust paint on the surface of the compression spring 8 can effectively prevent the compression spring 8 from oxidizing and rusting due to long-term exposure to air and contact with water vapor and oxygen. Rusting of the compression spring 8 reduces its elasticity, affecting the fixing effect of the guide rail clamp on the guide rail body 14. The anti-rust paint forms a protective film, extending the service life of the compression spring 8, ensuring that the compression spring 8 can stably exert its elastic function over a long period, maintaining the guide rail clamp's secure grip on electrical components, ensuring the long-term stable operation of electrical equipment, reducing the frequency of guide rail clamp replacement due to compression spring 8 damage, and lowering maintenance costs.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 Mounting block 1, locking bracket 3 and locking block 10 are all made of plastic.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mounting block 1, locking frame 3, and locking block 10 are made of plastic. Plastic is lightweight, reducing the overall weight of the guide rail clamp and making installation and handling more convenient and labor-saving. At the same time, plastic is relatively inexpensive, effectively reducing the production cost of the guide rail clamp and facilitating its processing and molding, thus improving the product's market competitiveness. Furthermore, plastic has certain insulating properties, preventing electrical leakage and other safety issues caused by the guide rail clamp in electrical equipment, ensuring operator safety. Its good corrosion resistance allows it to adapt to various complex environments, further enhancing the practicality and applicability of the guide rail clamp.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 The top of the inner wall of the guide rail groove 9 is provided with an identification groove 13.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an arrow-shaped marking groove 13 is provided on the top of the inner wall of the guide rail groove 9. The arrow of the marking groove 13 points in the direction of the elastic force applied by the compression spring 8 to the locking frame 3. This helps installers and maintenance personnel to quickly and accurately identify and use the guide rail clamp, avoiding problems caused by misuse or improper installation. This greatly improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance, reduces time waste and resource consumption caused by unclear information, and makes the installation and maintenance of electrical equipment more standardized and orderly.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this guide rail clamp, preliminary preparations must first be completed. Take out the guide rail clamp to be used and carefully check whether each component is intact. Pay special attention to whether there are cracks or deformations in the mounting block 1, locking frame 3, and locking block 10. Confirm that the anti-rust paint on the surface of the compression spring 8 has not peeled off and that the compression spring 8 has good elasticity, so as to avoid affecting the use effect due to rust or insufficient elasticity of the compression spring 8. At the same time, clean the mounting port 12 at the bottom of the mounting block 1 and the receiving grooves 11 on the top and bottom sides to ensure that there is no debris blocking it, so as to facilitate the subsequent bolt connection operation.

[0032] Next, install the guide rail clamp and the guide rail body 14. Align the guide rail body 14 with the guide rail groove 9 at the bottom of the mounting block 1, so that the two sides of the guide rail body 14 correspond to the locking frame 3 and the locking block 10 on the right side of the inner wall of the guide rail groove 9, respectively. At this time, push the locking frame 3 to slide to the left in the sliding groove 2 at the top of the mounting block 1. Since the front and rear sides of the left side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 2 are provided with the first groove 4, the other end of the compression spring 8 in the first groove 4 is connected to the second groove 6 on the left side of the locking frame 3. When the locking frame 3 is pushed, the compression spring 8 will be compressed. Then, the guide rail body 14 is slid into the guide rail groove 9 from front to back. Then, the operator releases the locking frame 3. Under the action of the compression spring 8, the compression spring 8 pushes the locking frame 3 to move to the right. The locking frame 3 cooperates with the locking block 10, thereby clamping the guide rail body 14, thus completing the installation of this device.

[0033] Next, the electrical components are connected and secured. Based on the location of the electrical components to be installed, such as terminals or circuit breakers, place the components on top of mounting block 1, aligning the mounting holes of the components with the mounting openings 12 on both sides of the bottom of mounting block 1. Select appropriate bolts and thread them through the mounting openings 12 and the mounting holes of the electrical components from bottom to top. Then, use a screwdriver or other tools to tighten the bolts, ensuring a tight connection between the electrical components and mounting block 1. Because mounting block 1 has receiving grooves 11 on both the top and bottom sides, the bolt heads are accommodated within these grooves, preventing bolt protrusion from affecting the normal use of the device and the installation of other components.
