When in use, the clamping method is determined according to the shape and thickness of the clamped object:
It is suitable for thinner objects to be clamped. The second clamping portion 16 of the fixing clip and the counterweight structure 3 are used to clamp the object. As shown in
If the object to be clamped is very thin and restricted by the integral connecting portion, the second adjusting cover 27 can be installed on the second clamping portion 16, as shown in
Suitable for thicker objects to be clamped. First, increase the distance between the second clamping portion 16 and the first clamping portion 12, and place it on the object to be clamped. Due to the action of the spring, the fixing clip is stably fixed on the clamped object, as shown in
If the thickness of the clamped object is less than the distance between the first clamping portion 12 and the first clamping portion 12, the first adjusting cover 26 can be installed on the first clamping portion 12 and/or the second adjusting cover 27 can be installed on the second clamping portion 16, as shown in
As shown in
It is suitable for clamping an object of irregular shape, the clamping angle 2 is buckled to one end of the object to be clamped, and the counterweight structure is adjusted so that the fixing clip clamps the object to be clamped to achieve fixation, as shown in
Since the counterweight structure adopts a rotatable connection mode, the angle between the object connected by the object connection structure and the clamped object can be realized by adjusting the rotation of counterweight.
The present invention is particularly suitable for screen display lamps. The present invention can stably fix the screen display lamps on monitors of different thicknesses. The article connecting structure 1 of the fixing clip is clamped and connected to the screen display lamp. The fixing clip is fixed on the monitor through the clamping structure 2, and the connection portion of the article connection structure 1 is arranged in a cylindrical structure matching the direction of the screen display lamp.
