Fixing clamp for discharge outlet of intermediate bulk container

A fixing clamp for a discharge outlet of an intermediate bulk container, wherein the intermediate bulk container is provided with a discharge passage, and the fixing clamp is used to fix the discharge outlet in the discharge passage, wherein the discharge outlet comprises a flange edge, a discharge connecting port and a discharge outlet clamping part, wherein the discharge outlet clamping part is a polygonal structure, and the fixing clamp comprises:

• a fixing clamp body, wherein an opening is provided at one end of the fixing clamp body, and a passage for accommodating the discharge outlet clamping part is formed in the middle part of the fixing clamp body;
• a clamping portion, wherein the clamping portion has a profile forming said passage, and the clamping portion is used for clamping the side surfaces of the discharge outlet clamping part when the fixing clamp and the discharge outlet have been assembled;
• elastic guiding ribs, wherein the elastic guiding ribs are provided at the opening end of the fixing clamp body and are connected fixedly to the fixing clamp body with their proximal end, wherein leading-in surfaces are provided on the elastic guiding ribs, and the leading-in surfaces contact with the side surfaces of the discharge outlet clamping part when the fixing clamp is pushed in laterally with respect to the discharge outlet, such that the elastic guiding ribs are deformed due to being squeezed by the discharge outlet clamping part, and the elastic guiding ribs return elastically when the fixing clamp and the discharge outlet have been assembled;
• and
• anti-release portions, wherein the anti-release portions are extended integrally from the distal ends of the elastic guiding ribs respectively and are provided such that when the fixing clamp and the discharge outlet have been assembled, the anti-release portions are engaged with the side surfaces of the discharge outlet clamping part to prevent the fixing clamp from being separated from the discharge outlet.
