[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. The clamp bracket disclosed in this application includes a clamp body 100, which is fixed around the external environment during use; it also includes a fastening device 200, which is used to apply a fastening force to the clamp body 100 to enhance the interaction force between the clamp body 100 and the external environment; and it also includes a quick-connect seat 400, which is connected to the clamp body 100 and is used to quickly connect to an external device with a corresponding connecting seat.
[0030] In use, the clamp body 100 can be first fitted onto the horizontal or vertical bar of the gantry frame, and then the clamp body 100 can be moved along the horizontal or vertical bar to a suitable position and angle. Then, it can be tightened by the fastening device 200 to enhance the interaction force between the clamp body 100 and the external environment, thereby increasing the friction between the two and locking them together. After that, the external equipment with a corresponding fastening seat 400 can be directly connected to the fastening seat 400 to complete the installation. The installation process does not require additional disassembly of other parts or tightening of threaded fasteners, which is convenient and quick.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fastening device 200 can be a clamping device, that is, the clamp body 100 directly applies pressure to the external environment, thereby increasing the pressure between the external environment and the fastening device 200 and part of the clamp body 100; or it can be a device for shortening the circumference of the clamp body 100, that is, by shortening the circumference of the clamp body 100, the clamp body 100 can be made to hug the external environment tightly, thereby increasing the pressure between the two.
[0032] In some embodiments, the clamp body 100 includes at least one hinge point 110 and one quick-connect point 120; that is, the clamp body 100 is at least two segments, each segment of the clamp body 100 is hinged sequentially, and can be separated or quickly connected through the quick-connect point 120. Installation is quick and does not require fitting from the end of the clamp into the external environment.
[0033] The quick-connection point 120 has a first connecting hook 130 and a first connecting buckle 140 on each side of the clamp body 100. The first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 are correspondingly arranged, and the two clamp bodies 100 are connected to each other at the quick-connection point 120 by the hook and the buckle. The first connecting buckle 140 can be a groove or a crossbar adapted to the hook, that is, any existing structure that can be hooked and fixed is acceptable.
[0034] At least one of the first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 is connected to the clamp body 100. The first connecting hook 130 or the first connecting buckle 140, which is movably connected to one side of the clamp body 100, is connected to the other side of the clamp body 100 through a secondary lock 300. That is, after the first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 are connected, the movable connecting hook or connecting buckle can be fixed to the clamp body 100 through the secondary lock 300 to prevent accidental detachment and make the fixation more reliable and safer.
[0035] The movable connection can be a rotational connection, a floating connection, a sliding connection, or any existing movable connection method that allows the first connecting buckle 140 or the first connecting hook 130 to have two states.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2, the first connecting hook 130 is directly set on the clamp body 100, and the first connecting buckle 140 is movably connected to the other end of the clamp body 100. After the first connecting buckle 140 is fastened, it is fixed to the clamp body 100 by the secondary lock 300. Of course, in this example, the first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 can also be interchanged.
[0037] The first connecting hook 130 or the first connecting buckle 140 is also provided with a first guide slope 150, which is used to guide the connecting hook to the snap-fit position when the two are connected.
[0038] In some embodiments, the secondary lock 300 includes a second connecting hook 310 and a second connecting buckle 320, one of which is connected to the clamp body 100, and the other is connected to a first connecting hook 130 or a first connecting buckle 140 that is movably connected to the clamp body 100.
[0039] The secondary lock 300 is also connected to each other by a connecting hook and a connecting buckle. The second connecting buckle 320 can be a groove or a crossbar that fits the hook, that is, any structure that can be hooked and fixed by the hook can be used.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2, the first connecting hook 130 is directly mounted on the clamp body 100. The first connecting buckle 140 is movably connected to the clamp body 100. The second connecting buckle 320 is connected to the first connecting buckle 140. The second connecting hook 310 is mounted on the clamp body 100 and is correspondingly mounted to the second connecting buckle 320. When the first connecting buckle 140 and the first connecting hook 130 are engaged, the second connecting hook 310 and the second connecting buckle 320 are also engaged, preventing the first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 from disengaging. Of course, the first connecting hook 130 and the first connecting buckle 140 can be interchanged, and the second connecting hook 310 and the second connecting buckle 320 can also be interchanged.
[0041] The second connecting hook 310 or the second connecting buckle 320 connected to the clamp body 100 can also be movably connected to the clamp body 100, having at least a fixed first position and an unlocked second position. When unlocking is required, the second connecting hook 310 or the second connecting buckle 320 can be moved to lock them in place, thereby unlocking the secondary lock 300.
[0042] As shown in Figure 4, the second connecting hook 310 or the second connecting buckle 320 is also provided with a second guide slope 330, which is used to guide the connecting hook to the snap-fit position when the two are connected.
[0043] The movable connection can be a rotational connection, a floating connection, a sliding connection, or any existing movable connection method that allows the second connecting buckle 320 or the second connecting hook 310 to have two states.
[0044] In some embodiments, the secondary lock 300 further includes a top block 340, which is movably connected to the clamp body 100. The top block 340 has at least a first position where it pushes out the first connecting hook 130 or the first connecting buckle 140 and a second position where it does not contact the first connecting hook 130 or the first connecting buckle 140. When unlocking, the movable top block 340 can push out the first connecting hook 130 or the second connecting buckle 320, thereby separating the two.
[0045] In some embodiments, the top block 340 is disposed on the second connecting hook 310 or the second connecting buckle 320, and is movably connected to the clamp body 100. This allows for simultaneous contact with the secondary lock 300 and ejection of the first connecting hook 130 or the second connecting buckle 320 by moving the second connecting hook 310 or the second connecting buckle 320. For example, as shown in FIG3, the top block 340 is disposed on the second connecting hook 310, and is rotatably connected to the clamp body 100 via a pivot. During unlocking, rotating the pivot simultaneously ejects the first connecting hook 130 and unlocks the secondary lock 300.
[0046] The movable connection can be a rotational connection, a floating connection, a sliding connection, or any existing movable connection method that allows the second connecting buckle 320 or the second connecting hook 310 to have two states.
[0047] In some embodiments, the fastening device 200 includes: a fastening knob 210 rotatably mounted on the clamp body 100; and a fastening block 220 sliding axially along the fastening knob 210, the fastening block 220 being threadedly connected to the fastening knob 210. By rotating the fastening knob 210, the fastening block 220 is pushed inward or outward via threaded transmission, providing a fastening force or loosening the external environment. As exemplarily shown in FIG1, the fastening knob 210 is rotatably mounted on the clamp body 100, and the fastening block 220 is threadedly connected to the fastening knob 210 via a screw.
[0048] In some embodiments, the fastening device 200 further includes a torque-enhancing wrench 240, which is movably mounted on the fastening knob 210 and has at least two states: a working state located outside the fastening knob 210 and a retracted state located inside the fastening knob 210. The movable connection can be a rotary connection, a floating connection, a sliding connection, or any existing movable connection method that allows the torque-enhancing wrench 240 to have both states. In the working state, the user can move the torque-enhancing wrench 240 to the outside to increase the lever arm of rotation, resulting in a stronger and more secure tightening. In the retracted state, the user can retract the torque-enhancing wrench 240 to prevent accidental activation and injury.
[0049] Furthermore, the fastening knob 210 is also provided with a storage slot 211 for accommodating the torque wrench 240 in the stored state.
[0050] As exemplarily shown in Figure 5, one end of the torque-enhancing wrench 240 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fastening knob 210. When turned out, it can increase the lever arm, or it can be rotated back into the storage slot 211 of the fastening knob 210.
[0051] In some embodiments, the fastening device 200 further includes a bushing 250, which is movably disposed outside the fastening block 220. Limiting structures are provided on both sides of the bushing 250 to prevent it from coming off the fastening block 220. The bushing 250 can protect the fastening screw and isolate the fastening screw from the external environment, thereby achieving a dustproof and sealing effect and making it safer.
[0052] In some implementations, the clamp bracket also includes a movable handle 500, through which the user can pick up the clamp bracket or attach hooks to the clamp bracket, using the movable handle 500 as an anchor point to connect other external devices, such as fitness ropes. The movable design facilitates folding when not in use.
[0053] Furthermore, the movable handle 500 is connected to the rotating rod of the clamp body 100 via a damping shaft 510 to prevent the movable handle 500 from rotating arbitrarily. The resistance of the damping shaft 510 can be formed by pressure applied axially towards the end face or radially towards the side, and the material can be rubber or metal, that is, any method of applying resistance to the damping shaft in the prior art is applicable.
[0054] Furthermore, the movable handle 500 is equipped with hooks or fixing holes for securing ropes, making it easier to use as an anchor point.
