Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting component, and more particularly to a pipeline component with adjustable docking position. Background Art

[0002] The concepts of energy conservation, environmental protection, etc. have gradually taken root in people's hearts. In order to reduce the pollutants discharged from the fuel combustion of fuel vehicles during driving, currently, new energy vehicles have gradually become the mainstream in vehicle manufacturing.

[0003] The power of new energy vehicles comes from batteries. There are many types of batteries, including lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, and fuel cells, etc. And the dominant one is the fuel cell. On the one hand, the fuel of the fuel cell is a clean energy source. Secondly, the fuel cell can provide a predetermined amount of electric energy for the vehicle to drive.

[0004] However, after the fuel cell is used for a predetermined time, it needs to be replaced to continuously provide electric energy for the vehicle. But since the fuel cell needs to be cooled by coolant during use. Therefore, the fuel cell needs to be replaced quickly.

[0005] In addition, after the battery pack of the fuel cell is installed on the vehicle, other components on the vehicle need to be fixed by means of a mounting mechanism. Especially the fluid connection pipe that docks with the battery pack on the vehicle. In order to prevent the fluid connection pipe from generating a large displacement, therefore, in the prior art, the fluid connection pipe is usually fixed firmly. However, sometimes the docking pipe on the replaced battery pack that needs to dock with the fluid connection pipe cannot be aligned with the fixed fluid connection pipe. At this time, since there is no avoidance space around the vehicle that allows the battery pack to move, it may cause the battery pack to be unable to dock with the fluid connection pipe.

[0006] For this reason, a mounting seat for installing a fluid connection pipe has been developed in the prior art, such as the patent with the publication number: CN207229909U. This patent discloses a three-axis position self-correcting joint bracket structure, which mainly sets a floating spring and a spherical spring between the bolt and the mounting hole of the fixed plate, so that the mounting seat can be finely adjusted in its so-called XYZ axis directions. However, in this patent, since both the floating spring and the spherical spring are in contact with the bolt, therefore, when the floating spring deforms to allow the fixed plate to move along its so-called Z direction, the fixed plate will inevitably deviate from its so-called XY plane, and in this way, it will easily damage the pipe body perforated on the fixed plate.

[0007] More importantly, since the elastic potential energy of the floating spring is relatively large, the range of movement of the fixed plate in its so-called XY axes is very limited, and when the user needs to move the fixed plate along the XY axis directions, a relatively large force needs to be applied, thus bringing great inconvenience to the user.

[0034] The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles defined in the following description of the present invention can be applied to other implementation manners, variations, improvements, equivalent manners, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of the present invention, the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0036] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 to 8 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position, wherein the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position can be used to install at least one pipe body, and the position for installing the pipe body on the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position can be adjusted.

[0037] Specifically, the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position includes a limit seat 10, a movable seat 20, and a coupling member 30. A mounting hole 101 is formed in the middle of the limit seat 10. The movable seat 20 is installed in the mounting hole 101 of the limit seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that can slide along the plane direction formed by the limit seat 10.

[0038] The pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position has at least one fixing member 40. The limit seat 10 or the movable seat 20 is connected to the fixing member 40, so that when the fixing member 40 is installed at a predetermined position, the limit seat 10 or the movable seat 20 can be correspondingly limited.

[0039] Preferably, the fixing member 40 is connected to the limiting seat 10, and the fixing member 40 can be fixed at a position where the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position needs to be installed, so that the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position can be fixed at the corresponding installation position.

[0040] Since the limiting seat 10 is restricted by the fixing member 40 and cannot slide on the plane formed with the limiting seat 10, therefore, at least one docking channel 201 for docking the pipe body is provided on the movable seat 20 for docking the pipe body. It is worth mentioning that when the fixing member 40 is installed on the movable seat 20, since the movable seat 20 is restricted by the fixing member 40 at this time and cannot slide on the plane formed with the limiting seat 10, therefore, the docking channel 201 for docking the pipe body is provided on the limiting seat 10.

[0041] As a preference, the fixing member 40 is implemented to include a bolt 41. At least two fixing holes 1001 are correspondingly provided on the limiting seat 10 or the movable seat 20 for the bolt 41 to pass through. The bolt can pass through the fixing holes 1001 on the limiting seat 10 or the movable seat 20 and be fixed at a position where the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position needs to be installed.

[0042] As a preference, each fixing member 40 further includes an elastic member 42 and a slider 43. The slider 43 is sleeved on the bolt 41 in a manner that can slide along the length direction of the bolt 41. The elastic member 42 is sleeved on the bolt 41 and is between the slider 43 and the head of the bolt 41. Therefore, after the fixing member 40 is fixed at a position where the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position needs to be installed, by further tightening the bolt 41, the elastic member 42 is compressed, and then the limiting seat 10 or the movable seat 20 can be moved along the length direction of the bolt 41, and then the position of the movable seat 20 installed on the limiting seat 10 in the length direction of the bolt 41 can be adjusted, so that the pipe body to be docked with the docking channel 201 can have a predetermined adjustment displacement in the length direction of the bolt 41.

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention, at least one embodiment of the present invention is described only by taking the fixing member 40 being installed on the limiting seat 10 as an example. And as a preference, the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking position includes four fixing members 40, and the four fixing members 40 are respectively installed at four different positions of the limiting seat 10 and have the same orientation. In addition, at this time, the docking channel 201 is provided on the movable seat 20.

[0044] In this preferred embodiment, since the movable seat 20 is connected to the limit seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that it can slide along the plane formed by the limit seat 10. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the docking channel 201 so that the port of the docking channel 201 is aligned with the pipe body, it is only necessary to slide the movable seat 20 relative to the limit seat 10 along the plane formed by the limit seat 10, so that the docking channel 201 can be aligned with the pipe body and can be in mutual communication with the pipe body.

[0045] Furthermore, the movable seat 20 is mounted on the limit seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that it can tend to reset. That is to say, after the movable seat 20 slides a predetermined distance on the plane formed by the limit seat 10, under the action of the coupling member 30, the movable seat 20 tends to reset.

[0046] In addition, the movable seat 20 is mounted in the mounting hole 101 of the limit seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that it can be finely adjusted along the direction perpendicular to the limit seat 10, so that when the movable seat 20 moves along the plane formed by the limit seat 10, the movable seat 20 is not restricted in the direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the limit seat 10, and further enables the movable seat 20 to slide more easily along the plane direction formed by the limit seat 10.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the coupling member 30 includes at least two tension springs, and at least two of the tension springs are symmetrically arranged between the side walls of the mounting hole 101 formed by the movable seat 20 and the limit seat 10, so that the movable seat 20 is maintained in the mounting hole 101 and does not collide with the side walls forming the mounting hole 101 under the balanced force of at least two tension springs in at least two different directions. That is to say, there is a predetermined gap between the movable seat 20 and the side walls of the mounting hole 101 formed on the limit seat 10, so that the movable seat 20 can have enough space to slide relative to the plane direction of the limit seat 10. Preferably, the coupling member 30 includes 6 tension springs, and 6 of the tension springs are symmetrically arranged.

[0048] One end of each of the tension springs is hooked on the limit seat 10, and the other end of each of the tension springs is hooked on the movable seat 20. Preferably, at least two notches 102 are formed on the side wall of the limit seat 10 where the mounting hole 101 is formed, and two of the notches 102 communicate with the mounting hole 101. A hook-shaped structure 50 is respectively arranged on the side wall of the limit seat 10 where each notch 102 is formed for hooking one end of the tension spring. In addition, a hook-shaped structure 60 is correspondingly arranged at a position on the movable seat 20 close to the side wall where the mounting hole 101 is formed for hooking the other end of the tension spring. Preferably, the hook-shaped structure 60 and the hook-shaped structure 50 have the same structural features. However, preferably, the hook openings of the hook-shaped structure 50 and the hook-shaped structure 60 face in opposite directions to prevent the two ends of the tension spring from detaching.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, each of the tension springs forms a predetermined angle with the plane of the limit seat 10. That is to say, the tension spring is held obliquely between the side walls of the mounting hole 101 formed by the movable seat 20 and the limit seat 10.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that the movable seat 20 includes a seat body 21. The seat body 21 has a movable body 211 and a limit body 212 formed at the end of the movable body 211.

[0051] The movable body 211 is connected to one end of the tension spring and is installed in the mounting hole 101 of the limit seat 10 in a manner that can slide along the plane direction formed by the limit seat 10. The cross-sectional diameter of the movable body 211 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the mounting hole 101 formed by the limit seat 10 to form a predetermined sliding gap between the movable body 211 and the side wall of the mounting hole 101 formed on the limit seat 10. The cross-sectional dimension of the limit body 212 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the movable body 211.

[0052] In addition, the tension spring is obliquely hooked on the hook-shaped structure 50 of the limit seat 10 in a manner that can make the limit body 212 tend to approach the limit seat 10. Therefore, after the movable body 211 passes through the mounting hole 101, due to the limiting effect of the limit body 212, the entire movable seat 20 can be stably held in the mounting hole 101.

[0053] Further, the movable seat 20 further includes a limiting plate 22, wherein the limiting plate 22 is installed at the other end of the movable body 211, and the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting plate 22 is greater than that of the movable body 211. That is to say, the movable body 211 passes through the mounting hole 101 on the limiting plate 22, and the limiting body 212 and the limiting plate 22 are respectively held on both sides of the limiting seat 10. It is worth mentioning that the distance between the limiting plate 22 and the limiting body 212 is greater than the thickness of the limiting seat 10, so that the movable seat 20 can not only move along the plane direction of the limiting seat 10, but also slide along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the limiting seat 10. In this way, when the docking channel 201 on the movable seat 20 is docked with the pipe body, the movable seat 20 can not only achieve deviation correction in multiple directions, but also play a buffering role after docking with the pipe body. Thus, the orientation of the docking channel 201 installed on the movable seat 20 can be adjusted, so that the docking position of the docking channel 201 with the pipe body can be adjusted.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling member 30 is implemented as at least a pair of magnetic rings, wherein one of the magnetic rings is disposed on the side wall forming the mounting hole 101, and the other magnetic ring is correspondingly disposed on the side wall of the movable seat 20. Optionally, a part of the side wall of the limiting seat 10 forming the mounting hole 101 is implemented as being made of a magnetic material, and a corresponding part of the side wall of the movable seat 20 is also implemented as being made of a magnetic material. Through the above two methods, the movable seat 20 is installed in the mounting hole 101 of the limiting seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that can slide along the plane direction formed by the limiting seat 10, and the movable seat 20 is installed on the limiting seat 10 by the coupling member 30 in a manner that can tend to reset.

[0055] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling member 30 is implemented as a ball spring, wherein the ball spring is disposed between the side wall forming the mounting hole 101 and the side wall of the movable seat 20.

[0056] In addition, the coupling member 30 can also be implemented as at least one rubber isolation ring or a reed, wherein the rubber isolation ring or the reed is disposed between the side wall forming the mounting hole 101 and the side wall of the movable seat 20.

[0057] Preferably, at least two of the docking channels 201 are provided on the limiting seat 10 or the movable seat 20 of the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking positions. Preferably, the two docking channels 201 are formed on the movable seat 20. It is worth noting that two docking pipes 23 are integrally formed on the movable seat 20, and each of the docking pipes 23 forms one of the docking channels 201.

[0058] Two through holes 2201 are provided on the limiting plate 22. The docking channel 201 is formed through the seat body 21. After the limiting plate 22 is fixed to the seat body 21, the docking pipe 23 passes through the through holes 2201 on the limiting plate 22, so that the docking pipe 23 extends through both sides of the limiting seat 10, so that both sides of the docking channel 201 can be respectively communicated with corresponding pipelines.

[0059] Preferably, the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking positions further includes a quick-change joint 70, and the quick-change joint 70 has two quick-change channels 701. The quick-change joint 70 is detachably installed on the docking pipe 23, so that the two quick-change channels 701 on the quick-change joint 70 are respectively communicated with the docking channels 201 formed by the docking pipes 23.

[0060] Preferably, the quick-change joint 701 is detachably buckled to the docking pipe 23. The quick-change joint 701 can also be detachably docked to the docking pipe 23 by other connection methods, and the present invention is not limited in this regard.

[0061] In addition, the pipeline installation assembly 100 with adjustable docking positions further includes a pair of snap joints 80. A pair of snap joints 80 are respectively installed in the quick-connection channels 701 of the quick-change joint 701 for docking fluid pipelines.

[0062] It can be understood that the snap joint 80 can be implemented as a snap-fastening joint. Specifically,

[0063] The snap joint 80 includes a snap spring 81. A pair of snap windows 702 and an insertion port 703 communicating with the snap windows 702 are provided on the side wall of the quick-change joint 701 forming the communication channel 203.

[0064] The snap spring 81 has a clamping portion 811 and an elastic arm 812. The elastic arm 812 is implemented to be made of a flexible material with a predetermined strength, and the clamping portion 811 is implemented to be made of a hard material. A clamping opening 8101 is formed between the elastic arm 812 and the clamping portion 811.

[0065] The elastic arm 812 extends radially toward the bayonet 8101 to form at least a pair of clamping edges 813. When the engaging portion 811 is radially squeezed, the elastic arm 812 deforms, so that the bayonet 8101 increases. When the pressure squeezing the engaging portion 811 is withdrawn, the bayonet 8101 tends to decrease.

[0066] The engaging portion 811 is inserted into the card window 702 from the insertion port 703 in a radially movable manner. Therefore, when the fluid pipeline is inserted into the communication channel 203, the annular clamping protrusion on the outer wall of the fluid pipeline can radially squeeze the elastic arm 812, so that the elastic arm 812 can be deformed, so that the annular clamping protrusion on the outer wall of the fluid pipeline can cross a pair of the clamping edges 813 on the elastic arm 812. Therefore, the fluid pipeline will be limited by the clamping spring 81 and cannot be pulled out from the quick connection channel 701.

[0067] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention shown in the above description are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The object of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present invention have been shown and described in the embodiments. Without departing from the principle, the embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation or modification.
