Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable tie technology, and in particular relates to an integrated cable tie. Background Technology
[0002] Cable ties are a material used to secure and protect automotive wiring harnesses, primarily made of PA66. They are widely used in automotive wiring harness securing designs, their main function being to fasten the harnesses and prevent damage from vibration, displacement, or interference with other components.
[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN215528469U) discloses a cable tie with a snap-lock fastening mechanism, relating to the field of cable tie technology. It includes a cable tie tightening plate, with a mounting plate fixedly installed on its upper part, and a snap-lock fastener installed on the inner side of the mounting plate. An elastic limiting plate is fixedly installed on the upper inner side of the tightening plate, with at least two limiting teeth on the lower part of one end of the elastic limiting plate. Two guide plates are fixed on the lower inner side of the tightening plate. In use, the cable tie body and guide sidewalls can slide along a groove, preventing deviation during sliding. After the cable tie is secured, it can be quickly snapped in place using the snap-lock fasteners, making it more convenient to use.
[0004] Currently available cable tie brackets are usually one-piece molded designs. Although the structure is simple and easy to fix, they lack flexibility in practical applications and are not convenient for changing the fixing direction of different wire harnesses according to their different radial directions. Traditional fixed cable tie brackets can no longer meet the needs of modern industrial production. Therefore, an integrated cable tie is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an integrated cable tie that offers advantages such as more flexible cable harness clamping and the ability to provide different fixing methods based on the extension direction and angle of the cable harness. This solves the problem mentioned in the aforementioned prior art, which states that it is inconvenient to change different cable harness fixing directions according to different radial directions of the cable harness, and that traditional fixed cable tie brackets can no longer meet the needs of modern industrial production.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an integrated cable tie, comprising a first snap-fit component, a fixing component rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the first snap-fit component, a limiting component hinged to one side of the first snap-fit component, a buckle fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting component, a second snap-fit component hinged to the inner wall of the first snap-fit component, a cable tie hole provided inside the second snap-fit component, an elastic fixing component provided on the inner wall of the cable tie hole, and a snap-fit mechanism rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second snap-fit component.
[0007] With the above solution, by hinged the second snap-fit component to one side of the first snap-fit component, when horizontal fixation of the wire harness is required, the wire harness is pulled to the inside of the first snap-fit component, and the limiting component is flipped over to cover and clamp the wire harness. At the same time, the buckle on the limiting component cooperates with the fixing component to clamp and fix it. By passing the wire harness through the inside of the cable tie hole of the second snap-fit component, the wire harness rebounds after hitting the elastic fixing component and is snapped on one side of the wire harness. The snap-fit mechanism is then flipped to allow it to gradually extend and lock through the inside of the cable tie hole, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing effect of the wire harness in the vertical direction. The fixing angle of the second snap-fit component can be rotated according to the direction of the wire harness, which makes the wire harness clamping and fixing more flexible and facilitates different fixing methods according to the extension direction and angle of the wire harness.
[0008] Furthermore, the first snap-fit component includes a first snap-fit block, the first snap-fit block has a wire groove inside, a side groove is formed on one side of the first snap-fit block, a horizontal shaft is fixedly installed inside the side groove, and the fixing component is rotatably connected to the outside of the horizontal shaft.
[0009] The above solution provides space for the wire harness by setting a groove near the top of the first card block, which helps to fix the wire harness in the horizontal direction. The side groove provides installation space for the fixing components, and the horizontal axis restricts the support position of the fixing components.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing buckle, and a support spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing buckle. One end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side groove at an angle, and the number of support springs is set to several.
[0011] The above solution uses an inclined, strong support spring to fix the fixing buckle inside the side groove. When the limiting component flips to the horizontal direction of the first locking block, its protruding buckle extends towards the inside of the fixing buckle, generating a slight pushing force until it is locked inside. Then, the elasticity of the support spring drives the fixing buckle to automatically reset and engage with the limiting component to achieve a fast fixing effect.
[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting plate, the limiting plate having a limiting groove inside, the limiting groove having a limiting block inside, and the limiting block having two blocks.
[0013] The above solution involves setting a limiting block inside the limiting groove. When the wire harness is inside the groove, the limiting plate is flipped so that the limiting block inside the limiting groove is flipped to the inside of the groove. The limiting block then presses down on the wire harness, thus achieving the effect of limiting the wire harness.
[0014] Furthermore, the buckle includes a vertical plate, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected with an active buckle, and the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate.
[0015] The above solution involves fixing the vertical plate to the edge of the limiting plate. When the limiting plate is flipped, the vertical plate is driven to flip and extend to the inside of the fixed buckle, generating a slight pushing force. Then, the support spring drives it to quickly rebound and reset, thus securing the active buckle and achieving the horizontal fixation effect for the wire harness.
[0016] Furthermore, the second snap-fit component includes a second snap-fit block, a hinge plate is fixedly connected to one side of the second snap-fit block, the hinge plate is hinged to the inner wall of the first snap-fit block, a limit strip is fixedly installed inside the second snap-fit block, a crossbar is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cable tie hole, and the elastic fastener includes an elastic fastener buckle, a torsion spring is provided at the bottom of the elastic fastener buckle, and the torsion spring is fixedly installed on the outside of the crossbar.
[0017] The above scheme connects the second locking block and the first locking block through a hinge plate. When it is necessary to fix wire harnesses in different radial directions, the wire harness is pulled into the inside of the cable tie hole. The wire harness itself resists the elastic fixing buckle, and the torsion spring pushes the elastic fixing buckle to tighten it. This provides a clamping and fixing effect for the wire harness in the vertical direction.
[0018] Furthermore, the snap-fit mechanism includes a snap-fit strip, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second snap-fit block, and the outer surface of the snap-fit strip is provided with a plurality of snap-fit teeth.
[0019] With the above method, when the wire harness is inside the cable tie hole, the snap-fit strip is flipped to extend into the cable tie hole, gradually reducing the winding space. Then, the limiting snap-fit strip is inserted into the inside of the snap-fit teeth to complete the final snap-fit and fixing process.
[0020] Furthermore, the top of the snap-fit strip has an insertion port.
[0021] The above solution allows the wire harness to be extended into the socket and then inserted into the cable tie hole, thus providing a dual restraint effect.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This integrated cable tie hinges a second locking member to one side of a first locking member. When horizontal fixation of the cable harness is required, the cable harness is pulled to the inside of the first locking member, and a limiting component is flipped over to cover and lock the cable harness. Simultaneously, the buckles on the limiting component cooperate with the fixing component to lock and fix the cable harness. By passing the cable harness through the cable tie hole inside the second locking member, the cable harness rebounds after contacting the elastic fixing component and is locked on one side of the cable harness. The locking mechanism is then flipped to allow it to gradually extend and lock through the inside of the cable tie hole, thus achieving a vertical locking and fixing effect on the cable harness. The fixing angle of the second locking member can be rotated according to the direction of the cable harness, making the cable harness locking and fixing more flexible and providing different fixing methods according to the extension direction and angle of the cable harness.

[0025] The technical solutions of 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. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment of an integrated cable tie includes a first locking member 1. A fixing component 2 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the first locking member 1. A limiting component 3 is hinged to one side of the first locking member 1. A buckle 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting component 3. A second locking member 5 is hinged to the inner wall of the first locking member 1. A cable tie hole 6 is provided inside the second locking member 5. An elastic fixing component 7 is provided on the inner wall of the cable tie hole 6. A locking mechanism 8 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second locking member 5. By hinged the second locking member 5 to one side of the first locking member 1, when it is necessary to horizontally fix the cable harness, the cable harness is pulled to the inner side of the first locking member 1. The limiting component 3 is flipped over to cover the wire harness and clamp it in place. At the same time, the buckle 4 on the limiting component 3 cooperates with the fixing component 2 to clamp and fix it. By passing the wire harness through the inside of the cable tie hole 6 inside the second snap-fit component 5 and rebounding due to the wire harness resisting the elastic fixing component 7, it is snapped on one side of the wire harness. The snap-fit mechanism 8 is flipped over to allow it to pass through the inside of the cable tie hole 6 and gradually extend and lock, so as to complete the clamping and fixing effect of the wire harness in the vertical direction. The fixing angle of the second snap-fit component 5 can be rotated according to the direction of the wire harness, so as to make the wire harness snap-fit fixing more flexible and provide different fixing methods according to the extension direction and angle of the wire harness.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The fixing component 2 includes a fixing buckle 201, and a support spring 202 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing buckle 201. One end of the support spring 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side groove 103 at an incline, and several support springs 202 are provided. The limiting component 3 includes a limiting plate 301, and a limiting groove 302 is opened inside the limiting plate 301. A limiting block 303 is provided inside the limiting groove 302, and two limiting blocks 303 are provided. The buckle 4 includes a vertical plate 401, and an active buckle 402 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical plate 401. The vertical plate 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 301. The fixing buckle 201 is fixed inside the side groove 103 by the inclined strong support spring 202, so that when the limiting component 3 is flipped to the horizontal direction with the first snap-fit block 101, its protruding buckle 4 will be fixed to the fixing buckle. When the wire harness extends inward, it generates a slight pushing force until it is snapped into place. Then, the support spring 202 automatically resets the fixed buckle 201 and engages with the limiting component 3 to achieve a quick fixation effect. By setting a limiting block 303 inside the limiting groove 302, when the wire harness is inside the wire groove 102, the limiting plate 301 is flipped so that the limiting block 303 inside the limiting groove 302 flips to the inside of the wire groove 102. The limiting block 303 presses down on the wire harness to achieve a limiting effect. When the limiting plate 301 is flipped, the vertical plate 401 is driven to flip and extend to the inside of the fixed buckle 201, generating a slight pushing force. Then, the support spring 202 drives it to quickly rebound and reset to engage and fix the active buckle 402. This achieves a horizontal fixation effect on the wire harness.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second snap-fit component 5 includes a second snap-fit block 501. A hinge plate 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the second snap-fit block 501. The hinge plate 502 is hinged to the inner wall of the first snap-fit block 101. A limit strip 503 is fixedly installed inside the second snap-fit block 501. A crossbar 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cable tie hole 6. The elastic fastener 7 includes an elastic fastener buckle 701. A torsion spring 702 is provided at the bottom of the elastic fastener buckle 701. The torsion spring 702 is fixedly installed on the outside of the crossbar 9. The second snap-fit block 501 is connected to the first snap-fit block 101 through the hinge plate 502. When it is necessary to fix wire harnesses in different radial directions, after the wire harness is pulled into the inside of the cable tie hole 6, the wire harness itself abuts against the elastic fastener buckle 701, and the torsion spring 702 pushes the elastic fastener buckle 701 to press it tightly. This provides a clamping and fixing effect for the wire harness in the vertical direction.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The snap-fit mechanism 8 includes a snap-fit strip 801. One end of the snap-fit strip 801 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second snap-fit block 501. The outer surface of the snap-fit strip 801 is provided with several snap-fit teeth 802. The top of the snap-fit strip 801 is provided with an insertion port 803. Through the snap-fit teeth 802 on the snap-fit strip 801, when the wire harness is inside the cable tie hole 6, the snap-fit strip 801 is flipped to extend into the cable tie hole 6, gradually reducing the winding space. Then, it is engaged with the limiting snap-fit strip 503 to embed into the inside of the snap-fit teeth 802, so as to complete the final snap-fit and fixing process. The insertion port 803 allows the wire harness to be extended into the insertion port 803 and then inserted into the inside of the cable tie hole 6, so as to play a double limiting role.
[0030] In this embodiment, an integrated cable tie is provided with a cable groove 102 near the top of the first snap-fit block 101 to provide space for the cable harness and facilitate the fixation of the cable harness in the horizontal direction. The side groove 103 provides installation space for the fixing component 2, while the horizontal axis 104 restricts the support position of the fixing component 2. When the limiting component 3 is flipped to the horizontal direction with the first snap-fit block 101, its protruding snap fastener 4 extends inward towards the fixing snap fastener 201, generating a slight pushing force until it snaps into place. The elasticity of the support spring 202 then causes the fixing snap fastener 201 to automatically reset and engage with the limiting component 3 for quick fixation. Flipping the limiting plate 301 causes the limiting block 303 inside the limiting groove 302 to flip into the inside of the cable groove 102, pressing down on the cable harness to achieve a restrictive effect. After rotation, the vertical plate 401 is driven to flip and extend to the inside of the fixed buckle 201 by the active buckle 402. After a slight pushing force is applied to it, the support spring 202 drives it to quickly rebound and reset, thereby locking and fixing the active buckle 402. This achieves the horizontal fixing effect of the wire harness. The second locking block 501 is connected to the first locking block 101 by the hinge plate 502. When it is necessary to fix wire harnesses in different radial directions, the wire harness is pulled into the inside of the cable tie hole 6. The wire harness itself abuts against the elastic fixing buckle 701, and the torsion spring 702 pushes the elastic fixing buckle 701 to press it against. This provides a locking and fixing effect for the wire harness in the vertical direction. After the wire harness is inside the cable tie hole 6, the locking strip 801 is flipped to extend into the inside of the cable tie hole 6, gradually reducing the winding space. Then, the limiting strip 503 is embedded in the inside of the locking teeth 802 to complete the final locking and fixing process.
[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: When it is necessary to fix the horizontal wire harness, the wire harness is pulled into the wire groove 102, and the limiting plate 301 is flipped so that the limiting block 303 inside the limiting groove 302 extends to the inside of the wire groove 102 and presses against the wire harness. At the same time, the vertical plate 401 and the active buckle 402 are driven to extend to the inside of the fixed buckle 201, pushing it to slightly move along the horizontal axis 104. Then, the support spring 202 drives it to reset and lock the active buckle 402, thus completing the clamping process of the horizontal wire harness. The cable tie is extended into the cable tie hole 6 on the inner side of the second snap-fit block 501 after being inserted into the insertion port 803 of the snap-fit strip 801. It works in conjunction with the torsion spring 702 to push the elastic fixing buckle 701 against one side of the wire harness. Then, the snap-fit strip 801 is pulled to pass through the rear side of the elastic fixing buckle 701 and works in conjunction with the limiting snap-fit strip 503 and the snap-fit teeth 802 to lock the wire harness in a fixed position. At the same time, the other side of the torsion spring 702 is pressed to achieve the process of fixing the wire harness in the vertical direction. This provides a snap-fit fixing method for wire harnesses in different directions.
