Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of knife sheath clamping technology, and more particularly to a clamp assembly and a knife. Background Technology

[0002] Common knife sheath clips have a relatively simple structure, relying primarily on the elastic rebound of the metal material for their clamping function. However, in actual use, when a user inserts the entire knife set (including the sheath, clip, and dagger assembly) into a trouser pocket or secures it to a belt, the clip can easily jam due to reverse pressure. This makes it difficult to quickly and smoothly remove the knife, severely impacting ease of use and efficiency, and causing significant inconvenience, especially in urgent situations. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a clamp assembly and a cutting tool to solve the problems existing in the related technology. The technical solution is as follows:

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a clip assembly, including:

[0005] A fixed bracket is provided with a main body and a first support part provided on the main body. The main body is used to connect a knife sheath, and the first support part has a first connection hole.

[0006] A clamping hook, the first end of which is pivotally connected to the main body, allowing the clamping hook to swing up and down relative to the fixed bracket. The first end of the clamping hook has a threaded hole. The clamping hook and the main body form a clamping space for accommodating an object. The clamping hook has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the second end of the clamping hook is away from the main body, allowing the object to enter and exit the clamping space. In the closed state, the second end of the clamping hook is close to the main body, confining the object within the clamping space.

[0007] A locking component, wherein the rod portion of the locking component passes through the first connecting hole and is screwed to the threaded hole, and the head of the locking component is located on the side of the first support portion away from the threaded hole;

[0008] When the locking component is tightened, the head of the locking component presses against the first support portion to restrict the hook to the closed state;

[0009] When the locking component is loosened, the head of the locking component separates from the first support portion, allowing the clamp to swing up and down.

[0010] In one embodiment, the clip assembly further includes:

[0011] A retaining ring is sleeved on the rod portion of the locking component. When the locking component is tightened, the retaining ring presses against the side of the first support portion near the threaded hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the main body is provided with a second support portion, and the second support portion has a second connecting hole;

[0013] The first end of the clamp is provided with a connecting part, which is rotatably inserted into the second connecting hole.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second support portion is provided on both the left and right sides of the main body portion;

[0015] The first end of the clamp is provided with connecting parts on both the left and right sides, and each connecting part is rotatably inserted into the corresponding second connecting hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the second connecting hole is circular, and the cross-section of the connecting portion is rectangular.

[0017] In one embodiment, the second end of the clamp is provided with an arc portion, which is located on the side close to the main body portion, and the arc portion is bent toward the first end of the clamp.

[0018] In one embodiment, a reinforcing portion is provided between the main body and the first supporting portion.

[0019] In one embodiment, the number of the reinforcing parts is at least two, and the two reinforcing parts are placed on the left and right sides of the first connecting hole.

[0020] In one embodiment, the fixing bracket and the clamp are both integral structures.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cutting tool, including:

[0022] Dagger components;

[0023] A scabbard, the scabbard housing the dagger assembly; and

[0024] The aforementioned clip assembly.

[0025] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:

[0026] This utility model's clamp assembly, by integrating a fixed bracket, a hook pivotally connected to the fixed bracket, and a locking component, effectively solves the problem of traditional knife sheath clamps being easily jammed by reverse pressure due to their reliance on metal elasticity, leading to difficulty in removing the knife. Specifically, the main body of the fixed bracket is used to connect the knife sheath, and the first connecting hole on the first support part and the threaded hole at the first end of the hook are screwed together through the rod part of the locking component. When the locking component is tightened, its head presses against the first support part, forcing the hook to fit tightly against the fixed bracket, thereby stably keeping the hook in the closed state. At this time, the second end of the hook... When the main body is closed, it forms a reliable clamping space to fix the clamped object. When the locking component is loosened, its head separates from the first support part, releasing the mechanical constraint on the clamp hook. The clamp hook can swing freely up and down around the pivot center line to achieve the open state so that the clamped object can be smoothly put in and taken out. This structure actively controls the opening and closing state of the clamp hook through the mechanical means of threaded locking, replacing the traditional clamping method that relies solely on elasticity. It fundamentally avoids jamming caused by accidental squeezing or reverse force, ensuring that the tool can be quickly and smoothly removed at any time, significantly improving the convenience and reliability of use.

[0038] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0039] See Figures 1-7 This illustration shows a preferred embodiment of a clip assembly of the present invention, comprising:

[0040] The fixed bracket 1 has a main body 11 and a first support part 12 provided on the main body 11. The main body 11 is used to connect the knife sheath, and the first support part 12 has a first connection hole 121.

[0041] The clamp 2 has a first end pivotally connected to the main body 11, allowing it to swing up and down relative to the fixed bracket 1. The first end of the clamp 2 has a threaded hole 21. The clamp 2 and the main body 11 form a clamping space 3 for accommodating the clamped object. The clamp 2 has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the second end of the clamp 2 is away from the main body 11, allowing the clamped object to enter and exit the clamping space 3. In the closed state, the second end of the clamp 2 is close to the main body 11, confining the clamped object within the clamping space 3, thereby fixing the clamp assembly to the clamped object.

[0042] The locking component 4 has a rod 41 that passes through the first connecting hole 121 and is screwed to the threaded hole 21. The head 42 of the locking component 4 is located on the side of the first support 12 away from the threaded hole 21.

[0043] When the locking component 4 is tightened, the head 42 of the locking component 4 presses against the first support 12 to restrict the hook 2 to the closed state.

[0044] When the locking component 4 is loosened, the head 42 of the locking component 4 separates from the first support part 12, allowing the hook 2 to swing up and down.

[0045] This utility model's clamp assembly, by integrating a fixed bracket 1, a hook 2 pivotally connected to the fixed bracket 1, and a locking component 4, effectively solves the problem of traditional knife sheath clamps being easily jammed by reverse pressure due to their reliance on metal elasticity, leading to difficulty in removing the knife. Specifically, the main body 11 of the fixed bracket 1 is used to connect the knife sheath, and the first connecting hole 121 on the first support 12 and the threaded hole 21 at the first end of the hook 2 are screwed together through the rod 41 of the locking component 4. When the locking component 4 is tightened, its head 42 presses against the first support 12, forcing the hook 2 to fit tightly against the fixed bracket 1, thereby stably keeping the hook 2 in a closed state. When the second end of the clamping hook 2 closes with the main body 11, a reliable clamping space 3 is formed to fix the clamped object. When the locking component 4 is loosened, its head 42 separates from the first support 12, releasing the mechanical constraint on the clamping hook 2. The clamping hook 2 can swing freely up and down around the pivot center line to achieve the open state so that the clamped object can smoothly enter and exit. This structure actively controls the opening and closing state of the clamping hook 2 through the mechanical method of threaded locking, replacing the traditional clamping method that relies solely on elasticity. It fundamentally avoids jamming caused by accidental squeezing or reverse force, ensuring that the tool can be quickly and smoothly removed at any time, significantly improving the convenience and reliability of use.

[0046] It is understood that the locking component 4 is a bolt or screw.

[0047] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the clip assembly further includes:

[0048] The retaining spring 5 is sleeved on the rod 41 of the locking component 4. When the locking component 4 is tightened, the retaining spring 5 presses against the side of the first support 12 near the threaded hole 21, thereby forming a bidirectional clamping effect with the head 42 of the locking component 4 located on the other side of the first support 12, and together clamping the first support 12. This structure not only effectively prevents the locking component 4 from spontaneously loosening due to vibration or accidental impact by increasing frictional resistance, thus enhancing the reliability of the closed state, but also compensates for the assembly gap between components through the elasticity of the retaining spring 5. This allows the operator to obtain a smoother and more stable tactile feedback when adjusting the tightness of the locking component 4, thereby more accurately controlling the swing damping of the hook 2, and ultimately further improving the anti-interference ability and user experience of the entire clamp assembly under different carrying conditions.

[0049] See Figures 1-7In one embodiment, the main body 11 is provided with a second support 13, and the second support 13 has a second connecting hole 131;

[0050] The first end of the clamp 2 is provided with a connecting part 22, which is rotatably inserted into the second connecting hole 131. This transforms the pivotal connection between the clamp 2 and the fixed bracket 1 into a circumferential constraint on the connecting part 22 by the second connecting hole 131, making the swing force point more concentrated and stable, and avoiding wear or deformation caused by stress concentration on a single pin.

[0051] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, a second support portion 13 is provided on both the left and right sides of the main body portion 11;

[0052] The first end of the clamp 2 is provided with connecting parts 22 on both the left and right sides. Each connecting part 22 is rotatably inserted into the corresponding second connecting hole 131 to form a double-sided symmetrical support structure. This double-sided symmetrical support structure shares the torsional load and radial force generated when the clamp 2 swings, which greatly enhances the rigidity and bending strength of the pivot connection and effectively prevents the clamp 2 from shaking, misaligning or even being damaged when it swings frequently or is subjected to lateral impact. This ensures the long-term stability and consistency of the clamping operation. At the same time, this symmetrical design also makes the assembly process simpler and more intuitive.

[0053] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the cross-section of the second connecting hole 131 is circular, and the cross-section of the connecting part 22 is rectangular. Thus, this structure utilizes the inner wall of the circular connecting hole to circumferentially constrain and limit the corners or planes of the rectangular connecting part 22. When the hook 2 swings under force, the rectangular cross-section of its connecting part 22 and the circular inner wall of the second connecting hole 131 transmit torque through surface or line contact, effectively preventing the connecting part 22 from spinning freely and radially shifting within the hole. This greatly enhances the rigidity and motion stability of the pivot connection point, ensuring precise control of the swing angle of the hook 2. Simultaneously, the circular second connecting hole 131 facilitates the insertion and assembly of the connecting part 22, reducing manufacturing and assembly difficulties, while the rectangular connecting part 22 provides more reliable anti-torsional performance, preventing accidental rotation of the hook 2 in the closed state and improving the stability and reliability of the clamping.

[0054] See Figures 1-7In one embodiment, the second end of the hook 2 is provided with an arc portion 23, which is located on the side near the main body 11 and bends towards the first end of the hook 2. Thus, when the user inserts a belt or webbing into the clamping space 3, the arc portion 23 acts as a smooth guiding slope, effectively guiding the object to slide smoothly into the correct clamping position, greatly simplifying operation and preventing jamming caused by misoperation. Simultaneously, the curved structure avoids direct contact between sharp edges and the object, significantly reducing wear and scratches on belts, pocket fabrics, or the user's clothing, protecting the object, and also making the force on the hook 2 more evenly distributed in the closed state, improving clamping stability and reliability. Furthermore, the arc shape is visually more harmonious, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the clamp assembly.

[0055] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, a reinforcing part 14 is provided between the main body 11 and the first support part 12. The reinforcing part 14 serves as a transitional reinforcement structure connecting the main body 11 and the first support part 12, significantly increasing the cross-sectional area and rigidity at the connection point. When the locking component 4 is tightened and its head 42 applies a huge clamping force to the first support part 12, the reinforcing part 14 can effectively transfer and disperse the localized concentrated stress to a larger area of ​​the main body 11, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the first support part 12 bending, deforming, or even breaking due to stress. At the same time, when the hook 2 is subjected to external impact or vibration in a swinging or clamping state, the reinforcing part 14 can also suppress unnecessary deformation of the fixed bracket 1, ensuring the long-term stability of the relative position between the first support part 12 and the hook 2, thereby ensuring the locking effect of the locking component 4 and the durability of the entire clamp assembly.

[0056] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, at least two reinforcing parts 14 are provided, one on each side of the first connecting hole 121. Thus, the symmetrically distributed reinforcing parts 14 form a double-sided rigid support frame at the connection between the first support part 12 and the main body part 11. When the locking component 4 is tightened and exerts downward compressive stress on the first support part 12, or when torsional loads are generated due to clamping, the two reinforcing parts 14 can symmetrically and evenly bear and distribute these loads, effectively avoiding stress concentration and local deformation that may result from unilateral support. This greatly suppresses the tendency of the first support part 12 to bend or twist along its connection line with the main body part 11, thereby ensuring the alignment accuracy of the first connecting hole 121 and the threaded hole 21 on the hook 2, maintaining the uniformity of the force state of the locking component 4, ensuring reliable transmission of locking force and structural integrity for long-term use. Simultaneously, this symmetrical design simplifies the manufacturing process and enhances the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0057] In one embodiment, the fixing bracket 1 and the clamping hook 2 are both integral structures, that is, the integral fixing bracket 1 and the integral clamping hook 2 are manufactured by an integral molding process. The integral molding technology eliminates the potential weak points and stress concentration areas caused by the traditional method of connecting multiple parts by welding or fasteners. As a result, the integral features of the fixing bracket 1, including its first support part 12, main body part 11 and reinforcing part 14, and the complex shapes of the clamping hook 2, including its first end connecting part 22, threaded hole 21 and second end arc part 23, are all integral components with continuous internal structure and uniform mechanical properties. This not only greatly improves the mechanical strength and fatigue resistance of each component when subjected to clamping force, locking force and swing impact, avoiding failures caused by connection failure, but also reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, reduces manufacturing costs and improves the consistency of the clamp assembly, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the entire clamp assembly under long-term frequent use.

[0058] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cutting tool, comprising:

[0059] Dagger components (not shown in the image);

[0060] A scabbard (not shown in the image) houses the dagger components; and

[0061] The aforementioned clip assembly.

[0062] The knife of this utility model, by employing the aforementioned clamp assembly, also effectively solves the problem of traditional knife sheath clamps being easily jammed by reverse pressure due to their reliance on metal elasticity, leading to difficulty in removing the knife, by integrating a fixed bracket 1, a clamping hook 2 pivotally connected to the fixed bracket 1, and a locking component 4. Specifically, the main body 11 of the fixed bracket 1 is used to connect the knife sheath, and the first connecting hole 121 on the first support 12 and the threaded hole 21 at the first end of the clamping hook 2 are screwed together through the rod 41 of the locking component 4. When the locking component 4 is tightened, its head 42 presses against the first support 12, forcing the clamping hook 2 to fit tightly against the fixed bracket 1, thereby stably holding the clamping hook 2. In the closed state, the second end of the clamping hook 2 is closed with the main body 11, forming a reliable clamping space 3 to fix the clamped object. When the locking component 4 is loosened, its head 42 separates from the first support part 12, releasing the mechanical constraint on the clamping hook 2. The clamping hook 2 can swing freely up and down around the pivot center line to achieve the open state so that the clamped object can smoothly enter and exit. This structure actively controls the opening and closing state of the clamping hook 2 through the mechanical means of threaded locking, replacing the traditional clamping method that relies solely on elasticity. It fundamentally avoids jamming caused by accidental squeezing or reverse force, ensuring that the tool can be quickly and smoothly removed at any time, significantly improving the convenience and reliability of use.
