[0038] As mentioned above, the overall concept of this embodiment of the invention is the provided pipe installation device 10. The pipe installation device 10 mainly includes two major components: a first installation component 100 and a second installation component 200. The first installation component 100 has two main functions: firstly, it is used to install the cooling pipe 30 to fix the cooling pipe 30 within the pipe installation device 10; secondly, it is rotatably connected to the second installation component 200. When the cooling pipe 30 is installed, it generates a force and applies this force to the second installation component 200, causing the second installation component 200 to abut against the profile tube beam 20, thereby fixing the cooling pipe 30 to the profile tube beam 20. Furthermore, when the second installation component 200 does not receive the force from the first installation component 100, it can release its abutment against the profile tube beam 20, thereby allowing the cooling pipe 30 to be disassembled from the profile tube beam 20, thus improving the convenience of maintenance of the cooling pipe 30. By using the pipe installation device 10 provided in this embodiment of the invention, the cooling pipe 30 can be effectively fixed on the profile tube beam 20, thereby avoiding abnormal noise caused by collision between the cooling pipe 30 and the inner wall of the profile tube beam 20, as well as wear after collision with the profile tube beam 20, thus effectively improving the NVH performance of the vehicle 1000 and increasing the service life of the cooling pipe 30.

[0039] It should be noted that NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance in this invention refers to the performance and evaluation of noise, vibration, and irritation generated by a vehicle during operation. NVH performance is an important indicator for measuring vehicle comfort, quality, and user experience.

[0040] Based on the above overall concept, and referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment of the invention first provides a pipe installation device 10, including a first installation component 100 and a second installation component 200; the first installation component 100 is used to install a cooling pipe 30 and is rotatably connected to the second installation component 200; the second installation component 200 is configured to abut against the profile pipe beam 20 when subjected to the force of the first installation component 100, and to release the abutment against the profile pipe beam 20 when the force of the first installation component 100 on the second installation component 200 is removed.

[0041] It should be understood that the first mounting component 100 can be disposed within the second mounting component 200 to rotate within the second mounting component 200 and generate or cancel forces, allowing the second mounting component 200 to abut against or release the inner wall of the profile tube beam 20. Since the first mounting component 100 is equipped with the cooling pipe 30, its rotation can be driven by the rotation of the cooling pipe 30. In addition, the first mounting component 100 can also rotate under the action of other external forces, all of which can generate or cancel forces on the second mounting component 200.

[0042] The following is a detailed explanation of each structure.

[0043] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting assembly 100 includes a first body 110 and a first driving member 120; the first body 110 has a first mounting hole 111 and a first extension groove 112 located radially outside the first mounting hole 111, the first extension groove 112 extends radially, the first mounting hole 111 is used to install the cooling pipe 30, and the first driving member 120 is disposed in the first extension groove 112; the second mounting assembly 200 is rotatably connected to the first body 110, and the second mounting assembly 200 is configured to abut against the profile tube beam 20 when subjected to the force of the first driving member 120, and to release the abutment against the profile tube beam 20 when the force of the first driving member 120 on the second mounting assembly 200 is released.

[0044] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first mounting component 100 includes a first body 110 and a first driving member 120. The first body 110 is ring-shaped and has a first mounting hole 111 and a first extension groove 112 located radially outward of the first mounting hole 111. The first extension groove 112 is adapted to the shape of the first driving member 120, allowing the first driving member 120 to be securely fixed within the first extension groove 112. The first mounting hole 111 is adapted to the outer wall shape of the cooling pipe 30, ensuring that the cooling pipe 30 is stably fixed within the first body 110. This prevents the cooling pipe 30 from moving after the pipe mounting device 10 is installed in the profile cavity. The first driving component 120 is mainly used to generate force after the first body 110 rotates to a preset position. The first body 110 is externally rotatably connected to the second mounting assembly 200. During the installation of the cooling pipe 30, the first body 110 rotates within the second mounting assembly 200, thereby driving the first driving component 120 to move to the preset position to generate force so that the second mounting assembly 200 abuts against the profile tube beam 20. When the first body 110 drives the first driving component 120 to return to its original position, the force on the second mounting assembly 200 is canceled, thereby realizing the release of the second mounting assembly 200 from abutting against the profile tube beam 20.

[0045] To effectively receive the force exerted by the second mounting component 200 on the first mounting component 100, the second mounting component 200 further includes a second body 210 and a second driving member 220; the second body 210 is rotatably connected to the first body 110 and has a radially extending second extension groove 211; the second driving member 220 is disposed in the second extension groove 211, and the second driving member 220 is configured to abut against the profile tube beam 20 when subjected to the force of the first driving member 120, and to release the abutment against the profile tube beam 20 when the force exerted by the first driving member 120 on the second driving member 220 is released.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second mounting assembly 200 includes a second body 210 and a second driving member 220. The second body 210 is ring-shaped and is circumferentially mounted on the first body 110 and rotatably connected to the first body 110, thereby allowing the first body 110 to rotate within the second body 210. The second body 210 has a second extension groove 211 extending radially away from the first body 110, and the opening of the second extension groove 211 is away from the first body 110, thereby allowing the second driving member 220 to be driven by the second driving member. The second drive member 220 is installed; the second drive member 220 is movably installed in the second extension groove 211. When the second drive member 220 is subjected to the force of the first drive member 120, it can move radially outward along the inner wall of the second extension groove 211 until it protrudes from the second extension groove 211, thereby abutting against the inner wall of the external profile tube beam 20. When the second drive member 220 is not subjected to the force of the first drive member 120, the second drive member 220 can move towards the first body 110 in the second extension groove 211, thereby releasing the abutment against the profile tube beam 20.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 220 are magnetic components, specifically strong magnetic components; when the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 220 are close together, they will generate a strong repulsive force, so that the second driving member 220 abuts against the profile tube beam 20 when it is subjected to the repulsive force of the first driving member 120, and releases its abutment against the profile tube beam 20 when the repulsive force of the first driving member 120 on the second driving member 220 is removed.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the first body 110 in the first position relative to the second body 210. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the first body 110 in a second position relative to the second body 210. Figure 3 When the first body 110 is in a first position relative to the second body 210, at least a portion of the first driving member 120 is disposed opposite to the second driving member 220 to apply a force to the second driving member 220; Figure 4 When the first body 110 is in the second position relative to the second body 210, the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 220 are staggered to cancel the force on the second driving member 220.

[0049] It should be understood that when the first driving member 120 rotates to at least partially align with the second driving member 220 in the radial direction, a repulsive force is generated to push part of the second driving member 220 out of the second extension groove 211, thereby achieving the contact between the second mounting assembly 200 and the profile tube beam 20; correspondingly, when the first driving member 120 is not rotated to at least partially align with the second driving member 220 in the radial direction, the second driving member 220 is not subjected to a strong repulsive force and can slide within the second extension groove 211, thereby releasing the resistance to the profile tube beam 20.

[0050] To improve the effectiveness of the force provided by the first driving member 120 to the second driving member 220, the second body 210 in this embodiment includes a body portion 212, a limiting portion 213, and an elastic portion 214. The body portion 212 has a second mounting hole 2121 for mounting the first mounting assembly 100. The limiting portion 213 protrudes from the body portion 212 in the second mounting hole 2121. The elastic portion 214 is cantilevered to the body portion 212 and spaced apart from the limiting portion 213 in the circumferential direction of the second mounting hole 2121. When the first body 110 is in a first position and a second position relative to the second body 210, the limiting portion 213 and the elastic portion 214 cooperate to restrict the rotation of the first driving member 120.

[0051] It is understood that the second body 210 in this embodiment includes a body portion 212, a limiting portion 213, and an elastic portion 214. The second extension groove 211 is designed on the outer wall of the body portion 212. The body portion 212 has a second mounting hole 2121 coaxial with the first mounting hole 111. The second mounting hole 2121 is used to install the first body 110 of the first mounting assembly 100, so that the first body 110 can drive the first driving member 120 to rotate within the second mounting hole 2121. The limiting portion 213 protrudes from the body portion 212 in the second mounting hole 2121, specifically protruding into the rotation circumference of the first extension groove 112, thereby allowing the first body 110 to rotate. After rotating to the preset position, the first extension groove 112 is supported, preventing the first body 110 from rotating further. The elastic part 214 is cantilevered to the body part 212 and is spaced apart from the limiting part 213 in the circumferential direction of the second mounting hole 2121. This allows the first body 110 to be relatively fixed by the clamping of the elastic part 214 and the limiting part 213 when it is in the first position. When the first body 110 is subjected to external force, the elastic part 214 is compressed and moves radially toward the body part 212, allowing the first body 110 to rotate from the first position to the second position, thereby driving the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 220 to partially or completely align radially.

[0052] It should be noted that when the first body 110 rotates to the second position, the resistance of the first extension groove 112 restricted part 213 cannot rotate further, so that the first driving member 120 can generate a repulsive force to act on the second driving member 220, thereby improving the effectiveness of the force provided by the first driving member 120 to the second driving member 220.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, in order to adapt to the cavity-shaped profile tube beam 20, there are four first extension grooves 112. The four first extension grooves 112 are arranged circumferentially, and a receiving groove 113 is formed between two adjacent first extension grooves 112. The pipe installation device 10 also includes a rolling assembly 300. The rolling assembly 300 can be a plurality of bearing balls. The rolling assembly 300 is disposed between the first body 110 and the second body 210 and is located in the receiving groove 113, so that the first body 110 can rotate relative to the second body 210 through the rolling assembly 300.

[0054] Correspondingly, four of each of the following are designed: the second extension groove 211, the first driving member 120, and the second driving member 220; the second extension groove 211 is arranged circumferentially on the second body 210, and each of the second extension groove 211 and each of the first extension grooves 112 is provided with a corresponding first driving member 120 and second driving member 220, so that they can abut against the four inner walls of the square cavity profile tube beam 20 respectively during installation, which greatly improves the stability of the cooling pipe 30 in the profile tube beam 20.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two limiting portions 213 and two elastic portions 214 are designed. The two limiting portions 213 are arranged circumferentially on the second body 210 and are centrally symmetrical. The two elastic portions 214 are respectively arranged in the two limiting portions 213, and the two elastic portions 214 are also centrally symmetrical. Figure 3 As shown, when the first mounting assembly 100 is in the first position, each limiting part 213 and an adjacent elastic part 214 clamp two first extension grooves 112. A rolling assembly 300 is disposed within the receiving groove 113 formed between these two first extension grooves 112. When the first mounting assembly 100 rotates counterclockwise, the elastic part 214 is compressed and moves away from the first body 110. At this time, the first extension groove 112 can rotate to be radially aligned with the second extension groove 211, i.e., as shown... Figure 4As shown, at this time, the first mounting assembly 100 is in the second position, and each of the second driving members 220 of the second mounting assembly 200 moves to the outside of the second extension groove 211 under the action of repulsive force, so as to abut against the inner wall of the profile tube beam 20; when the first mounting assembly 100 is in the second position, the two opposite first extension grooves 112 are respectively abutted by the two limiting parts 213, and cannot rotate further, so that the first driving member 120 stably generates a repulsive effect on the second driving member 220.

[0056] It should be understood that the number of each first extension groove 112, first drive member 120, second extension groove 211, and second drive member 220 in the pipe installation device 10 in this embodiment is designed to be more suitable for the cavity-shaped profile tube beam 20. When the profile tube beam 20 is a structure with other cavities, the number of each component in the pipe installation device 10 can also be adjusted accordingly to adapt to the inner wall of the profile tube beam 20, thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the cooling pipe 30.

[0057] To further improve the NVH performance of the vehicle 1000, the second mounting assembly 200 also includes a buffer block 230, which is located radially on the side of the second drive member 220 away from the first drive member 120 and connected to the second drive member 220; the buffer block 230 is configured to protrude from the second extension groove 211 under the action of the second drive member 220 so as to abut against the profile tube beam 20.

[0058] In this embodiment, the buffer block 230 is radially connected to the second drive member 220 for directly abutting against the inner wall of the profile tube beam 20. The buffer block 230 can be made of rubber material, thereby enhancing the friction between the second mounting assembly 200 and the profile tube beam 20, further reducing noise, and thus promoting further improvement of the vehicle's NVH performance.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic part 214 includes a connecting part 2141 and a locking protrusion 2142; the connecting part 2141 is cantilevered to the body part 212, and the locking protrusion 2142 is disposed at the end of the connecting part 2141 away from the second body 210, and the locking protrusion 2142 protrudes from the connecting part 2141 toward the first body 110.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connecting part 2141 is cantilevered to the main body part 212, so that while connecting to the main body part 212, a certain gap is maintained in the radial direction, so that the connecting part 2141 can be pressed and moved radially toward the main body part 212; a locking protrusion 2142 is also designed on the end of the connecting part 2141 away from the connection position between the connecting part 2141 and the main body part 212. The locking protrusion 2142 protrudes from the connecting part 2141 toward the first body 110, so that when the first mounting component 100 is in the first position, it cooperates with the limiting part 213 to clamp the first extension groove 112, so as to prevent the first mounting component 100 from moving abnormally in the second mounting component 200, which would affect the installation efficiency of the cooling pipe 30.

[0061] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention also provides an automobile 1000, including the pipe mounting device 10 in the above embodiment, and further including a profile tube beam 20 and a cooling pipe 30; the cooling pipe 30 is installed in a first mounting assembly 100; the pipe mounting device 10 is disposed in the profile tube beam 20; the second mounting assembly 200 of the pipe mounting device 10 is configured to abut against the profile tube beam 20 when subjected to the force of the first mounting assembly 100, and to release the abutment against the profile tube beam 20 when the force of the first mounting assembly 100 on the second mounting assembly 200 is released.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, multiple pipe installation devices 10 are designed. Multiple pipe installation devices 10 can jointly install the same cooling pipe 30 inside the profile tube beam 20, thereby achieving effective fixation of the cooling pipe 30 in the profile tube beam 20, further improving the stability of the cooling pipe 30, and greatly improving the NVH performance of the vehicle 1000.

[0063] In summary, the pipe installation device 10 and the automobile 1000 provided in this embodiment of the invention, through the structural design of the pipe installation device 10, allow the cooling pipe 30 to be fixed inside the profile tube beam 20 by the pipe fixing device provided in this embodiment of the invention. This can prevent the cooling pipe 30 from moving inside the profile tube beam 20, thus preventing abnormal noise from the cooling pipe 30 inside the profile tube beam 20. At the same time, the cooling pipe 30 is fixed inside the pipe fixing device by the first installation component 100, so that the cooling pipe 30 will not collide with the profile tube beam 20, avoiding wear on the cooling pipe 30, thereby improving the service life of the cooling pipe 30.

[0064] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application.
