Abstract

A fixing assembly includes a connecting sleeve, a spike member, and an elastic member; the spike member is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve; one end of the elastic member is connected to the connecting sleeve, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the spike member; the elastic member at least helically surrounds and abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the spike member, and the elastic member is configured to generate elastic deformation when the spike member rotates relative to the connecting sleeve along a direction opposite to the helical surrounding direction of the elastic member; there is an included angle between the direction of elastic deformation and the axial extension direction of the spike member to form a helical convex elastic structure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fixing device, comprising a turnover box and a fixing assembly, the fixing assembly comprising:
a connecting sleeve;
a spike piece rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve; and
an elastic piece, wherein one end of the elastic piece is connected to the connecting sleeve, and the other end of the elastic piece is connected to the spike piece, the elastic piece at least spirally winds around and holds an outer peripheral wall of the spike piece, in case that the spike piece rotates relative to the connecting sleeve in a direction opposite to the spiral winding direction of the elastic piece, the elastic piece generates elastic deformation which has an included angle with the axial extension direction of the spike piece to form a spiral convex elastic structure; wherein
the turnover box is provided with an accommodating groove and a mounting hole which are communicated; the connecting sleeve is located in the mounting hole and is fixedly connected to the turnover box, the spike piece and the elastic piece are both located in the accommodating groove, and one end of the spike piece protrudes from an outer side of the turnover box.

2. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of the elastic deformation is perpendicular to an axial extension direction of the spike piece.

3. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic piece is a spring wire structure.

4. The fixing device according to claim 3 , wherein a cross-sectional diameter of the elastic piece decreases from the middle of the elastic piece to the two ends of the elastic piece.

5. The fixing device ccording to claim 1 , wherein the spike piece comprises a spike end, a winding portion and a rotating connecting portion that are connected in sequence, the rotating connecting portion is rotatably connected with the connecting sleeve, one end of the elastic piece is connected to the winding portion, and the elastic piece spirally winds around and holds the outer peripheral wall of the winding portion.

6. The fixing device according to claim 5 , wherein a limit step is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the winding portion adjacent to the spike end, one end of the elastic piece is connected to the limit step, and the elastic piece spirally winds around and holds and is limited to the limit step.

7. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting sleeve is mounted outside the spike piece and is rotatably connected with the spike piece.

8. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the end of the spike piece protruding from the outer side of the turnover box is provided with a wrench matching portion.

9. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing device further comprises a fixing frame and a driving mechanism, the fixing frame is fixed and supported on the turnover box, and the driving mechanism is mounted on the fixing frame, and the power output end of the driving mechanism is connected with the end, protruding from the outer side of the turnover box, of the spike piece.
