Embodiment Construction

[0042] Exemplary embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are not intended to limit the application and use.

[0043] Some embodiments may include automotive systems 100 such as figure 1 with 2 As shown, the automotive system includes an internal combustion engine (ICE) 110 having an engine block 120 defining at least one cylinder 125 having a piston 140 coupled to rotate a crankshaft 145 . Cylinder head 130 cooperates with piston 140 to define combustion chamber 150 . A fuel and air mixture (not shown) is disposed in combustion chamber 150 and is ignited, producing thermally expanding exhaust gases that cause piston 140 to reciprocate. Fuel is provided through at least one fuel injector 160 and air is provided through at least one air intake 210 . Fuel is provided at high pressure to fuel injector 160 from fuel rail 170 , which is fluidly connected to high pressure fuel pump 180 , which increases the pressure of fuel received fro...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a locking jig (500) for fixing an elongated object (610) with respect to an internal combustion engine (110), the locking jig (500) comprising a first plate (510) and a second plate (510) and a second plate (515) are connected together by an annular portion (550), wherein the first plate (510) is inclined at an inclination angle (alpha) With respect to the second plate (515) , And wherein the first plate (510) and the second plate (515) are provided with perforations (520, 525), each perforation (520, 525) comprising a plurality of protrusions (540, 540 ') for engagement (620) of the bolt (600) projecting from the internal combustion engine (110).

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field relates to locking clamps for securing elongated objects to internal combustion engines. Background technique [0002] It is known to clamp an elongated object such as a pipe or cable to an external part of an internal combustion engine using a plastic clamp having a protrusion adapted to be inserted into a custom boss, the known clamp having a Base for long objects. [0003] Once the protruding portion of the clamp is inserted into the boss, the elongated object is clamped to the clamp by a retaining structure such as a deformable plastic strip. [0004] The disadvantage of this solution is that it requires a dedicated fixing area, leading to an increase in the weight and cost of the engine, and at the same time, it reduces the space available in the engine compartment. [0005] It is an object of the disclosed embodiments to provide a locking clamp for an elongated object, such as a pipe or cable, that can be secured to an inter...
