Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

At present, the rope fixing device has a very wide application range. The rope fixing device is not only applied to the fields of industry, life and building to play the functions of traction, tensioning and bearing, but also can be applied to daily life or industrial packing flow to play the role of auxiliary fixing. With the increasingly wide field of use of rope fixing devices, user demands for rope fixing devices are becoming abundant.

The inventor notices that the tail end of the rope is easy to loosen or move from the original fixed state along with the forced pulling of one end of the article bound by the rope, and the reason is that the tail end of the rope is not firmly fixed and can bear too small pulling force. The tail end of the rope is loosened or moved to a position so as to easily influence the effect of fastening and binding the object by the rope, and if the rope plays a role in traction and bearing, the tail end of the rope is loosened or moved to the position so as to possibly have potential safety hazards.

As a solution to the problem that the end of the rope is easily loosened or dislocated, the end of the rope may be nailed with a nail to a fixed object such as a wooden pile or a wall. When the nailed rope is pulled by force, the rope can be divided by the nail, so that the thick rope originally combined by the multiple strands of thin ropes is divided into the multiple strands of thin ropes again, and the state of the rope is damaged. It is obvious that the method of solving the problem in such a state that the rope itself is broken cannot be used as a solution to the problem that the end of the rope is easily loosened or moved.

In order to solve the problem that the tail end of the rope is easy to loosen or move, the inventor finds that the rope can be fixed between the pressing block and the fixing block, the pressing block and the fixing block extrude the rope, and then the friction force between the rope and the pressing block and the fixing block is increased, so that the tail end of the rope is firm and is not easy to loosen or move.

The rope fixing device disclosed by the embodiment of the application can be applied to an industrial packaging process as a fixing tool at the tail end of a rope, and can also be applied to the fields of daily life and buildings to play a role in traction, drawing or bearing.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a rope fixing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixing block 110, a pressing block 120, and a driving source 130. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the pressing block 120 is movable between a first position and a second position. As shown in fig. 1, when the pressing block 120 is at the first position, a first gap exists between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110. As shown in fig. 2, when the pressing block 120 is at the second position, a second gap smaller than the first gap exists between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, or the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 are attached. The driving source 130 is for driving the pressing block 120 to move between the first position and the second position.

It is understood that the pressing block 120 can move between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position and the second position are two end points of the movable distance of the pressing block 120, respectively, and it is not limited to that the pressing block 120 is located at the first position to place the end of the rope between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, and it is not limited to that the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 are located at the second position to press and fix the end of the rope. The pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 can press the tail end of the rope in the process of moving from the first position to the second position.

It will also be appreciated that during movement of the weight 120 from the first position towards the second position, continued movement will only be stopped when the weight 120 reaches the second position, due to the weight 120 being driven by the drive, or, although the weight 120 has not yet reached the second position, the cable between the weight 120 and the fixed block 110 has already been subject to the pressing force on the cable by the drive and the cable cannot continue to be compressed.

When the pressing block 120 is located at the second position, a second gap smaller than the first gap may exist between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110. The second gap may be zero, that is, the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 may be attached to each other without a gap. It is understood that when the pressing block 120 is configured such that the pressing block 120 is located at the second position and a second gap exists between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, the pressing block 120 gradually presses the end of the rope while moving from the first position to the second position, and the pressing block 120 may stop while moving from the first position to the second position or after moving the pressing block 120 to the second position, and the rope is pressed in the second gap. When the pressing block 120 is set to be located at the second position and the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 are set to be in the attaching state, the pressing block 120 gradually extrudes the tail end of the rope in the process of moving from the first position to the second position, and the pressing block 120 stops in the process of moving from the first position to the second position. It should be noted that, when the pressing block 120 stops during the movement from the first position to the second position, when the pressing block 120 is located at the stop position, there is a pressing force between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 against the end of the rope.

It will be appreciated that the first and second gaps both function to accommodate the rope ends. Since the second gap is smaller than the first gap, the end of the rope is pressed by the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 in the second gap than in the first gap. The pressing force of the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 to the end of the rope makes the friction between the end of the rope and the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 large, so that the rope is firmly fixed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the end of the rope from being loosened or dislocated.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in using the rope fixing apparatus 100 provided in the present application: when the pressing block 120 is located at the first position, the end of the rope is placed in the first gap between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110. The pressing block 120 is then driven by the driving source 130 to move from the first position toward the second position, and the end of the rope placed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 is gradually pressed during the movement. When the driving source 130 drives the pressing block 120 to move to the second position, the end of the rope is pressed in the second gap smaller than the first gap, or the pressing block 120 stops during the movement from the first position to the second position, and when the pressing block 120 is located at the stop position, there is a pressing force between the pressing block 120 and the fixed block 110 to the end of the rope. The end of the rope is pressed by the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, so that the friction between the rope and the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 is increased, and the rope is firmly fixed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the end of the rope from loosening or moving.

In the above scheme, by providing the fixing block 110 and the pressing block 120 capable of moving between the first position and the second position, a first gap capable of placing the tail end of the rope exists between the fixing block 110 and the pressing block 120, and the driving source 130 is used for driving the pressing block 120 to move towards the direction closer to the fixing block 110, so that the tail end of the rope located between the fixing block 110 and the pressing block 120 is squeezed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, and further the friction force between the rope and the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 is increased, so that the rope is firmly fixed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110, and the effect of preventing the tail end of the rope from loosening or moving is achieved.

It will be appreciated that the function of the drive member is to provide power for movement of the mass 120 between the first and second positions and to maintain the mass 120 in a rest position when the mass 120 is stopped, preventing the mass 120 from being moved by external forces. The driving member can be a heat engine, an electric motor or a cylinder and the like. In a specific arrangement, the driving source 130 is a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic motor.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in a specific arrangement, a groove 111 is formed on a side of the fixing block 110, which is matched with the pressing block 120, and when the pressing block 120 is located at the second position, the pressing block 120 is at least partially embedded in the groove 111.

It will be appreciated that the recess 111 serves to accommodate the weight 120 and the rope between the weight 120 and the fixing block 110. The shape of the groove 111 is not limited to the circular shape shown in fig. 1, and may be a triangle, a rectangle, a diamond, or another polygon.

When the pressing block 120 moves from the first position to the second position, if the pressing block 120 stops at the second position, the pressing block 120 may be partially inserted into the groove 111, and the pressing block 120 may be completely inserted into the groove 111, so that the rope is located inside the groove 111 when the pressing block 120 presses the rope between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110. At this time, the rope may contact and generate friction with the side wall of the groove 111 inside the groove 111, further reinforcing the firm effect of the rope. And a part of the rope between the rope inside the groove 111 and the rope outside the groove 111 needs to pass between the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111. The rope passing through the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 and the rope pressed between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 are respectively in two planes and are perpendicular to each other, so that the tensile force applied to the rope is dispersed in multiple directions, and the fastening effect of the rope is better.

When the pressing piece 120 moves from the first position to the second position, the pressing piece 120 stops before reaching the second position, at this time, although the pressing piece 120 does not reach the second position yet, the rope between the pressing piece 120 and the fixed block 110 is subjected to the pressing force of the pressing piece 120 on the rope provided by the driving piece, and the rope cannot be compressed continuously. Therefore, the rope in this case may contact with the side wall of the groove 111 and generate friction inside the groove 111, thereby further reinforcing the fastening effect of the rope.

Through seting up recess 111 in one side of fixed block 110 for when briquetting 120 was located the second position, briquetting 120 can inlay in recess 111, thereby makes when briquetting 120 extrudeed the rope end fixedly, the rope still received the frictional force that the lateral wall of recess 111 provided or changes the pulling force that the direction of rope received with the dispersion rope, and then consolidates the firm effect of rope.

Preferably, the pressing block 120 and the groove 111 have the same shape, and the gaps between the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 are equidistant. For example, the groove 111 is a circular groove as shown in fig. 1, the pressing piece 120 is a cylindrical shape fitted to the groove 111, the pressing piece 120 and the groove 111 are coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the pressing piece 120 is smaller than the bore diameter of the groove 111.

Set up to the unanimity through the shape with briquetting 120 and recess 111 to reserve the equidistance clearance between the lateral wall of briquetting 120 and recess 111, when making the rope between briquetting 120 and recess 111, the atress is more balanced, and the unilateral of avoiding briquetting 120 is more with the rope contact, makes the rope extruded unevenly, briquetting 120 atress uneven, and the rope that causes is by the poor or the cracked risk of briquetting 120 of fixed effect.

The gap existing between the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the rope. Preferably, the gap between the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 is set such that the rope is rubbed by the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 when passing through the gap. By the arrangement, when the rope is pressed in the groove 111, the rope passing through the space between the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111 is rubbed by the side wall of the pressing block 120 and the side wall of the groove 111, and the firm effect of the rope is further strengthened.

In a specific arrangement, the groove 111 is a stepped groove, and the surface of the pressing block 120 matching with the groove 111 is a stepped convex surface matching with the groove 111.

By arranging the groove 111 as a stepped groove and arranging the pressing block 120 as a stepped convex surface, when the pressing block 120 presses the victory end inside the groove 111, the friction force provided by the side wall of the groove 111 on the rope is more, thereby reinforcing the firm effect of the rope.

Referring to fig. 1, in a specific arrangement, the driving source 130 is connected to the pressing block 120 through a connecting shaft 140.

It can be understood that the connecting shaft 140 is used for connecting the pressing block 120 and the driving source 130, so that the driving source 130 drives the pressing block 120 to move between the first position and the second position by driving the connecting shaft 140 to move.

It is understood that the shape and structure of the connecting shaft 140 are not limited, and may be a cylindrical structure as shown in fig. 1, or a polygonal prism, etc., as long as the connecting function of the connecting shaft 140 can be achieved.

It is understood that both ends of the connecting shaft 140 are connected to the driving source 130 and the pressing block 120, respectively. The connection mode of the connection shaft 140 and the driving source 130, and the connection mode of the connection shaft 140 and the pressing block 120 may be detachable connection or fixed connection, for example, threaded connection by means of bolts, or welding connection.

By arranging the connecting shaft 140 between the driving source 130 and the pressing block 120, after the driving source 130 and the fixing block 110 are fixed, if the matching distance between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 needs to be adjusted, the distance between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 can be adjusted by replacing the connecting shaft 140, so that the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 can extrude and fix the tail end of the rope conveniently.

It is understood that the connecting shaft 140 may be connected to a side of the pressing block 120 near the fixing block 110, or may be connected to a side of the pressing block 120 far from the fixing block 110. When the connecting shaft 140 is connected to a side of the pressing block 120 near the fixing block 110, the extended state of the driving source 130 corresponds to a first position of the pressing block 120, and the contracted state of the driving source 130 corresponds to a second position of the pressing block 120. When the connecting shaft 140 is connected to a side of the pressing block 120 far from the fixing block 110, the extended state of the driving source 130 corresponds to the second position of the pressing block 120, and the contracted state of the driving source 130 corresponds to the first position of the pressing block 120.

Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the connecting shaft 140 is connected to a side of the pressing block 120 close to the fixing block 110. Further, the fixing block 110 is provided with a through hole 112, and the connecting shaft 140 passes through the through hole 112 and is in sliding fit with the through hole 112.

It is understood that the through hole 112 is disposed through the fixing block 110, and is used for providing a passage for the connecting shaft 140 to pass through the fixing block 110 and to be slidably engaged with the connecting shaft 140. The shape of the through hole 112 is not limited, but the size of the through hole 112 is enough for the connection shaft 140 to pass through, and the through hole 112 may be identical to the shape of the connection shaft 140, for example, as shown in fig. 1, the through hole 112 and the connection shaft 140 are both circular in cross section, and the diameter of the through hole 112 is larger than the diameter of the connection shaft 140.

It can be understood that the through hole 112 is disposed in a direction consistent with a moving path of the pressing block 120 between the first position and the second position, so that the driving source 130 drives the connecting shaft 140 to slide in the through hole 112, and further drives the pressing block 120 to move between the first position and the second position.

Through setting up through-hole 112 at fixed block 110 to pass through-hole 112 with connecting axle 140 and with through-hole 112 sliding fit, make when briquetting 120 is located the first position, when placing the rope end between briquetting 120 and fixed block 110, can be with the terminal winding of rope in the connecting axle 140 outside, can be equipped with preliminary fixed to the rope through the terminal winding mode of rope, also can make the rope difficult knot through regular winding.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in a specific arrangement, a stopper 141 is disposed between the connecting shaft 140 and the driving source 130, and the stopper 141 moves between the fixed block 110 and the driving source 130 under the driving of the driving source 130.

It is understood that the stopper 141 functions to limit the moving distance of the driving source 130. When the rope filled between the pressing block 120 and the fixing block 110 is too much, the pressing block 120 may generate a reverse pulling force to the driving source 130 through the connecting shaft 140, so that the telescopic end of the driving source 130 tends to exceed the stroke range. By arranging the stopper 141 between the connecting shaft 140 and the driving source 130, the stopper 141 is in contact with the fixing block 110, the counter-pulling force of the pressing block 120 on the driving source 130 is counteracted, and the phenomenon that the driving source 130 is stretched and blocked or the driving source 130 is damaged due to the fact that the telescopic part of the driving source 130 exceeds the stroke range is avoided.

In a specific arrangement, the connecting shaft 140 is sleeved with a stopper 141, and the stopper 141 moves between the fixing block 110 and the driving source 130 along with the driving of the driving source 130 by the connecting shaft 140.

It can be understood that the stopper 141 may be sleeved outside the connecting shaft 140, and the stopper 141 and the connecting shaft 140 may be detachably connected or fixedly connected. When the stopper 141 is fitted around the connecting shaft 140, the distance between the stopper 141 and the fixing block 110 may be adjusted according to the stroke of the driving source 130 and/or the thickness of the end of the rope filled between the fixing block 110 and the pressing block 120.

In a specific arrangement, a buffer is disposed on a side of the stopper 141 near the fixed block 110.

It is understood that the buffer member, which is used for the action force when the buffer stopper 141 contacts the fixed block 110, may be a buffer sheet made of a flexible material or a buffer structure made of an elastic device. In this embodiment, the buffer is a rubber pad.

By providing the buffer member between the stopper 141 and the fixed block 110, the force generated by the stopper 141 to the fixed block 110 when moving toward the fixed block 110 can be buffered, and damage to the movable fixed block 110 of the stopper 141 due to multiple collisions between the stopper 141 and the fixed block 110 can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 1, in a specific configuration, the rope fixing apparatus 100 further includes a mounting plate 150, one surface of the mounting plate 150 is connected to the fixing block 110 and the fixing plate 160, and the driving source 130 is connected to the fixing plate 160 and is located between the fixing block 110 and the fixing plate 160.

It is understood that the fixing block 110 and the fixing plate 160 are both connected to the mounting plate 150 in a detachable or fixed manner, for example, by screwing with bolts, or by welding, integral molding, etc.

By connecting the driving source 130 to the fixing plate 160, the driving source 130 can be fixed relative to the fixing block 110, so that when the driving source 130 drives the pressing block 120 to extrude the rope, the reaction force of the rope on the pressing block 120 is prevented from driving the driving source 130 to move, and the fixing effect of the rope is prevented from being poor.
