Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field.

[0047] Pipe clamps are commonly used in areas with many pipes and wiring harnesses, such as automobile chassis systems and engine compartments. One end of the pipe clamp fixes the pipe or wiring harness, and the other end is fixed to the vehicle's fixing surface by means of clips, bolts, nuts, etc. The fixing surface can be located on the body sheet metal or parts assembly. The design of the pipe clamp is strongly related to the number of fixed pipes, the pipe diameter, and the fixing method. The above factors are different for different vehicle models or working conditions. In related technologies, the pipe clamp is an integral injection molding. If any of the above three factors changes, the pipe clamp will become unfit, requiring re-mold development, resulting in a narrow range of use for the pipe clamp, low versatility, and increased design and mold costs.

[0048] In order to solve the above problems to a certain extent, the embodiments of the present application provide a pipe clamp and a vehicle. The pipe clamp has a split structure, so that different upper bodies or lower bodies can be freely combined according to actual needs to form different forms of pipe clamps without the need to re-open the mold, and the overall height of the pipe clamp can also be adjusted as needed, thereby improving the versatility of the pipe clamp and reducing design and mold costs.

[0049] The following describes the embodiments of the present application with reference to the following figures:

[0050] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides a pipe clamp 10 for use in a vehicle, comprising an upper body 11 and a lower body 12. The upper body 11 includes a clamping member 100 and a first connecting member 200 connected to each other. The clamping member 100 is used to clamp a pipe 30. The lower body 12 includes a fixing member 400 and a second connecting member 300 connected to each other. The fixing member 400 is used to connect to a fixed surface 20 of the vehicle. The first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 are detachably connected, and the relative position between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 is adjustable.

[0051] The clamping member 100 and the first connecting member 200 can be integrally provided, and the fixing member 400 and the second connecting member 300 can be integrally provided. The clamping member 100 and the fixing member 400 can have various forms, thereby forming a plurality of different forms of the upper body 11 and the lower body 12. That is, in the plurality of different forms of the upper body 11 and the lower body 12, the structure of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 remains unchanged, while the clamping member 100 and the fixing member 400 can have various forms. Since the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 are detachably connected, that is, the pipe clamp 10 has a split structure, the upper body 11 and the lower body 12 can be separated or connected. Therefore, when the number of fixed pipes 30, the diameter of the pipes 30, and the fixing method change, different upper bodies 11 or lower bodies 12 can be freely combined according to actual needs to form different forms of pipe clamps 10 without the need to re-open the mold. Moreover, since the relative position between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 is adjustable, the overall height of the pipe clamp 10 can be adjusted as needed, thereby improving the versatility of the pipe clamp 10 and reducing the design and mold costs.

[0052] The connecting pipes 30 to be clamped by the clamping member 100 can be designed to have a single hole, double holes or multiple holes according to the number of the connecting pipes 30. Each hole can clamp a pipe 30. According to the way the pipes 30 are wrapped, the clamping member 100 can be designed to be open or closed. Figure 4a-4c The clamping member 100 may be in the form of an open single hole (eg Figure 4a As shown), closed single hole (as Figure 4b as shown) or open double holes (as shown Figure 4c See Figure 5a-5cThe fixing member 400 can be designed into a bird's beak shape (such as Figure 5a As shown), barbed type (as Figure 5a As shown), square (as Figure 5a As shown), cylindrical, etc. Of course, the structures of the clamping member 100 and the fixing member 400 include but are not limited to the above structures.

[0053] According to the different forms of the clamping parts 100 and the fixing parts 400, a plurality of upper bodies 11 and lower bodies 12 of different forms can be manufactured, and a plurality of upper bodies 11 and lower bodies 12 of different forms can be freely combined according to actual needs to form a plurality of pipe clamps 10 of different forms, without the need to separately open a mold and manufacture each form of the pipe clamp 10, thereby greatly saving costs.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 Among the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300, one includes a connecting body 210 and a plurality of limiting components 220 spaced apart on the connecting body 210 along the adjustment direction, and the other is a connecting sleeve, which is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 311 spaced apart, and the interval between two adjacent limiting grooves 311 is equal to the interval between two adjacent limiting components 220. The connecting body 210 can be extended into the connecting sleeve, and each limiting component 220 can selectively enter or separate from one of the limiting grooves 311.

[0055] The first connector 200 may include a connecting body 210 and a limiting assembly 220, and the second connector 300 may be a connecting sleeve, or the second connector 300 may include a connecting body 210 and a limiting assembly 220, and the first connector 200 may be a connecting sleeve. There is no limitation on this. The connecting body 210 and the connecting sleeve can both be cylindrical, and the limiting groove 311 can penetrate the inner wall of the connecting sleeve along the radial direction of the connecting sleeve. The limiting component 220 protrudes from the outer wall of the connecting body 210. When the limiting component 220 enters the limiting groove 311, under the limiting effect of the limiting groove 311 on the limiting component 220, the connecting body 210 can no longer move in the connecting sleeve, thereby realizing the connection between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300. When the limiting component 220 is separated from the limiting groove 311, the limiting effect of the limiting groove 311 disappears, and the connecting body 210 can be detached from the connecting sleeve, realizing the separation of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0056] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9The number of limiting grooves 311 is consistent with the number of limiting assemblies 220. The number of limiting grooves 311 and limiting assemblies 220 can be three, four, five, etc., without limitation. For ease of description, the following description assumes that there are three limiting grooves 311 and limiting assemblies 220. The three limiting assemblies 220 are named first limiting assembly 220a, second limiting assembly 220b, and third limiting assembly 220c, respectively. The three limiting grooves 311 are correspondingly named first limiting groove 311a, second limiting groove 311b, and third limiting groove 311c.

[0057] When the connecting body 210 is extended into the connecting sleeve, the first limiting component 220a can choose to enter the first limiting groove 311a. Since the interval between two adjacent limiting grooves 311 is equal to the interval between two adjacent limiting components 220, the second limiting component 220b can also enter the second limiting groove 311b at the same time, and the third limiting component 220c can also enter the third limiting groove 311c at the same time. At this time, the overall length of the pipe clamp 10 is the shortest. Under the simultaneous limitation of the first limiting groove 311a, the second limiting groove 311b and the third limiting groove 311c, the connecting body 210 is stationary relative to the connecting sleeve, thereby realizing the connection between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300. The first limiting component 220a can also choose to enter the second limiting groove 311b. At this time, the second limiting component 220b enters the third limiting groove 311c, the third limiting component 220c is exposed to the outside, and the first limiting groove 311a is empty; similarly, the first limiting component 220a can also choose to enter the third limiting groove 311c. At this time, the second limiting component 220b and the third limiting component 220c are exposed to the outside, the first limiting groove 311a and the second limiting groove 311b are empty, and the overall length of the pipe clamp 10 is the longest.

[0058] Therefore, each limiting assembly 220 can be selected to enter a corresponding limiting groove 311 as needed to adjust the overall length of the pipe clamp 10 .

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 10-12 The inner wall of the connecting sleeve is further provided with a guide groove 330 for a plurality of limit assemblies 220 to pass through. The guide groove 330 is connected to the limit groove 311 , and the limit assemblies 220 can slide between the guide groove 330 and the limit groove 311 .

[0060] Since the limiting component 220 can enter the limiting groove 311, and the limiting groove 311 passes through the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, it is obvious that the projections of the connecting body 210 and the limiting component 220 on the connecting sleeve exceed the inner wall range of the connecting sleeve. Before the limiting component 220 enters the limiting groove 311, the connecting body 210 and the limiting component 220 need to enter the connecting sleeve first. Therefore, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve is also provided with a guide groove 330 for multiple limiting components 220 to pass through. The guide groove 330 is recessed in the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, that is, the guide groove 330 is arranged corresponding to the limiting component 220. When the connecting body 210 extends into the connecting sleeve, the limiting component 220 is located in the guide groove 330, and the guide groove 330 can pass through the inner wall of the connecting sleeve along the axial direction of the connecting sleeve.

[0061] Since the guide groove 330 is connected to the limit groove 311, the limit assembly 220 can slide between the guide groove 330 and the limit groove 311. Therefore, when the connecting body 210 moves in the connecting sleeve, the limit assembly 220 moves in the guide groove 330. When the limit assembly 220 moves to the selected limit groove 311, the limit assembly 220 slides from the guide groove 330 to the selected limit groove 311, that is, the limit assembly 220 enters the limit groove 311. Conversely, when the limit assembly 220 needs to be separated from the limit groove 311, it slides from the limit groove 311 to the guide groove 330, so that the limit assembly 220 can be separated from the limit groove 311, so that the connecting body 210 can be separated from the limit sleeve.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 Each limiting groove 311 includes a first limiting sub-groove 3111 and a second limiting sub-groove 3112 that are spaced apart, and the limiting assembly 220 includes two limiting members 221 that are relatively arranged, and the two limiting members 221 can enter the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 respectively.

[0063] The limiting groove 311 can limit the axial movement of the limiting assembly 220 along the connecting sleeve. However, if the limiting groove 311 is annularly arranged on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, that is, the limiting groove 311 is a continuous annular structure, then the limiting assembly 220 can continue to slide in the limiting groove 311, that is, the connecting body 210 can rotate infinitely in the connecting sleeve. This will weaken the locking force between the upper body 11 and the lower body 12, thereby affecting the clamping of the pipeline 30. Therefore, each limiting groove 311 includes a first limiting sub-groove 3111 and a second limiting sub-groove 3112, which are spaced apart. The first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 can be arranged opposite each other and are both arc-shaped. The limiting assembly 220 includes two limiting members 221 arranged relatively to each other, and the two limiting members 221 can respectively enter the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112, that is, the first limiting sub-groove 3111 limits one of the limiting members 221, and the first limiting sub-groove 3111 limits one of the limiting members 221, realizing double limiting and improving the limiting effect.

[0064] Of course, two guide grooves 330 are also required. The two guide grooves 330 are arranged opposite to each other to communicate with the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 respectively, and respectively allow the two limiting members 221 to pass through.

[0065] Since the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 are separately arranged, two partitions 312 are provided between the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 , and the guide groove 330 can be arranged close to the corresponding partitions 312 . For the convenience of description, the two partitions 312 are named the first partition 312 and the second partition 312 respectively. When one of the limiting members 221 slides to the first partition 312 in the first limiting sub-groove 3111, the limiting member 221 can no longer move under the limitation of the first partition 312. At the same time, since the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 are relatively arranged, the other limiting member 221 also slides to the second partition 312. Therefore, under the common limitation of the two partitions 312, the two limiting members 221 can no longer move in the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 respectively, that is, the connecting body 210 cannot rotate relative to the connecting sleeve, thereby realizing the locking between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0066] It should be noted that since the partition 312 is arranged between the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112, and the first limiting sub-groove 3111 and the second limiting sub-groove 3112 are arranged to pass through the radial direction of the connecting sleeve, the wall thickness of the connecting sleeve is uneven, and the problem of excessive local stress is prone to occur. Therefore, the outer walls of the two partitions 312 are provided with wall thickness balancing grooves 313 to make the wall thickness of the connecting sleeve more uniform and reduce the situation of excessive local stress.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The limiting member 221 includes a first limiting section 2211 and a first connecting section 2212. The first limiting section 2211 protrudes from the first connecting section 2212. The first limiting section 2211 can enter the limiting groove 311, and the first connecting section 2212 can connect with the inner wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0068] If the entire limiting member 221 enters the limiting groove 311, the contact area between the limiting member 221 and the connecting sleeve will be too small, thereby weakening the locking force between the connecting body 210 and the connecting sleeve. Therefore, the limiting member 221 includes a first limiting section 2211 and a first connecting section 2212. The first limiting section 2211 enters the limiting groove 311 to cooperate with the limiting groove 311 to achieve limiting, and the first connecting section 2212 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve to increase the contact area between the limiting member 221 and the connecting sleeve, thereby improving the locking force between the connecting body 210 and the connecting sleeve.

[0069] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the connecting body 210 is further provided with a plurality of protruding members 230 , and the plurality of protruding members 230 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the limiting components 220 , and the protruding members 230 can be connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0070] When the limiting portion enters the limiting groove 311, the protrusion 230 contacts the inner wall of the connecting sleeve. Each protrusion 230 may include two protrusions, which are arranged opposite each other and staggered with the two limiting portions to avoid mutual interference. The shape of the protrusions can be square, circular, trapezoidal, etc., without limitation. The area of ​​the protrusion can be larger than the area of ​​the limiting portion. In this way, when the protrusion 230 contacts the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, the contact area between the limiting portion 221 and the connecting sleeve can be further increased, thereby further improving the locking force between the connecting body 210 and the connecting sleeve.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The connecting sleeve includes a plurality of second limiting sections 310 and second connecting sections 320 arranged at intervals. The second connecting section 320 is arranged between two adjacent second limiting sections 310. The limiting groove 311 is opened in the second limiting section 310. The wall thickness of the second connecting section 320 is smaller than the wall thickness of the second limiting section 310.

[0072] Since the limiting groove 311 is opened in the second limiting section 310, similarly, in order to make the wall thickness of the connecting sleeve more uniform and reduce the situation of excessive local stress, the wall thickness of the second connecting section 320 is smaller than that of the second limiting section 310, and the second connecting section 320 is located between two adjacent second limiting sections 310 on the side close to the central axis of the connecting sleeve. Figure 15 In order to further make the wall thickness of the connecting sleeve more uniform, the second connecting section 320 may not be a continuous structure, and the second connecting section 320 may have a hollow portion 324 .

[0073] Specifically, see Figure 14-16 A guide sub-groove 331 is provided on the inner wall of the second limiting section 310, and the portion of the second connecting section 320 corresponding to the guide sub-groove 331 is a hollow portion 324. The guide sub-grooves 331 of multiple second limiting sections 310 and the hollow portions 324 of multiple second connecting sections 320 are combined along the axial direction of the connecting sleeve to form a guide groove 330.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second connecting section 320 includes a connecting plate 321 and a stop portion 322 arranged on the connecting plate 321, the connecting plate 321 is connected between two adjacent second limiting sections 310, and the stop portion 322 is used to limit the sliding of the limiting assembly 220 in the limiting groove 311.

[0075] The stop portion 322 can be set corresponding to one of the partition portions 312. The limiting member 221 includes a first limiting section 2211 and a first connecting section 2212. The first limiting section 2211 can enter the limiting groove 311, and the first connecting section 2212 can be connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, that is, the first connecting section 2212 is connected to the connecting plate 321. Therefore, when the partition portion 312 limits the first limiting section 2211, the stop portion 322 limits the first connecting section 2212 at the same time. Under the dual limitation of the partition portion 312 and the stop portion 322, the locking force between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 can be further improved.

[0076] Specifically, the stopper 322 is provided to protrude from the connecting plate 321 toward the interior of the communicating sleeve, so that when the first connecting section 2212 moves to the stopper 322 , the stopper 322 can limit the first connecting section 2212 .

[0077] The second connecting section 320 further includes at least one joining plate 323, which is also connected between two adjacent second limiting sections 310. The joining plate 323 is spaced apart from the connecting plate 321, and a hollow portion 324 is formed between the joining plate 323 and the connecting plate 321. Since the connecting plate 321 needs to be large enough to accommodate the stopper 322, the connecting plate 321 can be larger than the joining plate 323. One, two, or more joining plates 323 can be provided. When there is more than one joining plate 323, two adjacent joining plates 323 are also spaced apart.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 16The connecting plate 321 includes a connecting portion 3211 and a mounting portion 3212 , the connecting portion 3211 is connected between two adjacent second limiting sections 310 , the stopping portion 322 is mounted on the mounting portion 3212 , and there is a gap between the mounting portion 3212 and the two adjacent second limiting sections 310 .

[0079] Since there is a gap between the mounting portion 3212 and the two adjacent second limiting sections 310, that is, the mounting portion 3212 is a cantilever structure and is elastic, during the rotation of the connecting body 210 in the connecting sleeve, after the connecting body 210 is connected to the mounting portion 3212, the mounting portion 3212 will be deformed outward by force until the connecting body 210 is rotated into place, that is, when the first connecting section 2212 moves to the stop portion 322, the mounting portion 3212 can restore the deformation and lock the connecting body 210, thereby further improving the locking force between the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300.

[0080] See also Figure 17 Next, the pipe clamp 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in conjunction with specific application scenarios:

[0081] There is a fixing surface 20 on the vehicle. The fixing surface 20 has three positions A, B, and C. The three positions need to be equipped with pipe clamps 10 to fix the pipe 30. The fixing requirements of the pipe 30 at these three positions are different:

[0082] The fixing requirements for the pipe 30 at A are as follows: the clamping member 100 has a single opening to fix the rubber hose 31, and the fixing member 400 is snap-fitted to the fixing surface 20, without the need for disassembly;

[0083] The fixing requirements for the pipe 30 at B are as follows: the clamping piece 100 is a single-hole opening, fixing the same rubber hose 31 as at A, and the fixing piece 400 is welded stud assembled to the fixing surface 20, which can be disassembled in small quantities;

[0084] The fixing requirements of the pipe 30 at C are: the same rubber hose 31 fixed at A and B needs to be fixed, and a plastic hard pipe 32 also needs to be fixed. Therefore, the clamping part 100 has two open holes, and the fixing part 400 is snap-fitted to the fixing surface 20 without the need for disassembly.

[0085] Because the clamping members 100 at locations A and B both require a single opening, the same upper body 11, namely, the first upper body 111, is used for both locations. Since the fixing member 400 at location A must be snap-fitted to the fixing surface 20, while the fixing member 400 at location B must be welded to the fixing surface 20 using a stud, different lower bodies 12 are used for locations A and B: the first lower body 121 at location A and the second lower body 122 at location B. Connecting one of the first upper bodies 111 to the first lower body 121 completes the assembly of the pipe clamp 10 at location A, while connecting the other first upper body 111 to the second lower body 122 completes the assembly of the pipe clamp 10 at location B.

[0086] Because the clamping member 100 at location C has two openings, location C requires a second upper body 112, which is different from locations A and B. Since the fixing member 400 at location C also snaps onto the fixing surface 20, location C can use the same first lower body 121 as location A. Combining the second upper body 112 with the first lower body 121 completes the assembly of the pipe clamp 10 at location C.

[0087] That is, it is only necessary to freely combine the first upper body 111, the second upper body 112, the first lower body 121 and the second lower body 122 according to actual needs to obtain a pipe clamp 10 that meets the fixing requirements of the three pipes 30 at A, B, and C, without having to open molds and manufacture them separately according to the fixing requirements of the three pipes 30 at A, B, and C, thereby greatly saving manufacturing costs.

[0088] It should be noted that the distances from the central axis of the pipe 30 fixed at locations A, B, and C to the fixing surface 20 need to decrease sequentially, so that the pipe 30 is tilted to ensure the fluidity of the liquid in the pipe 30. Because the relative position of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 is adjustable, adjusting the relative position of the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 300 can adjust the overall length of the pipe clamp 10, thereby adjusting the distance from the central axis of the fixed pipe 30 to the fixing surface 20.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising the aforementioned pipe clamp 10. The beneficial effects of the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application are the same as those of the aforementioned pipe clamp 10, and will not be repeated here.

[0090] The chassis system, engine compartment, etc. of a vehicle are areas with many pipes 30 and wiring harnesses. Therefore, the pipe clamp 10 described above can be used in the chassis system and the engine compartment. The fixing member 400 of the pipe clamp 10 can be fixedly connected to the body sheet metal or parts assembly of the chassis system and the engine compartment.

[0091] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art may make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they have learned the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0092] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such changes and modifications.
