DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0027] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 8As shown, an in-vehicle temperature sensor bracket includes a pair of movably connected arc-shaped clamping plates 1; the upper ends of the relatively close side portions of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are matched with each other through a locking structure 11, and the sides of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are both provided with support assemblies 2, and the support assemblies 2 and the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are matched with each other through a traction structure 24; when the sensor is clamped and fixed, the sensor is placed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1, and then the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are rotated, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are approached to the sides of the sensor and clamped on both sides of the sensor, and then the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1 are firmly clamped by the locking structure 11; when the sensor is clamped and fixed, the support assembly 2 can be driven at this time, and the support assembly 2 is extended in two directions to fit against the side wall of the installation groove in the car, thereby firmly clamping and fixing the sensor in the installation groove, thereby better firmly clamping and supporting the sensor, thereby better protecting the sensor and reducing maintenance costs.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that a mounting column 12 is provided on the lower end side of one arc-shaped clamp plate 1, and a movable block 13 is provided on the lower end side of the other arc-shaped clamp plate 1, and the mounting column 12 is inserted into the movable block 13, so that the two arc-shaped clamp plates 1 can be movably connected, and then different sensors can be adapted, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it should be known that in order to avoid scratching or damaging the sensor when clamping it, rubber pads are provided on the opposite sides of a pair of arc-shaped clamping plates 1, which can firmly clamp the sensor and protect it at the same time.

[0030] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the locking structure 11 includes a locking column 111 elastically installed on the upper side of an arc-shaped clamping plate 1 through a spring, and a locking groove 112 opened on the upper side of the other arc-shaped clamping plate 1; when the sensor is clamped and locked for protection, the locking column 111 on one arc-shaped clamping plate 1 at this time extends into one arc-shaped clamping plate 1 under the elastic action, and then one arc-shaped clamping plate 1 extends into the groove on the side of the other arc-shaped clamping plate 1 with the locking column 111. At this time, the locking column 111 elastically compressed on one arc-shaped clamping plate 1 extends out of the locking groove 112 under the elastic reset of the spring, thereby connecting and locking the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1, so as to better clamp and fix the sensor.

[0031] It is understandable that if Figures 1 to 3As shown, in order to accommodate sensors of different sizes and clamp and fix sensors of different sizes, a plurality of locking grooves 112 may be provided on the other arc-shaped clamping plate 1 .

[0032] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a rotating sleeve 21 installed on the side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 1 by threaded rotation, and two support rods 22 installed inside the rotating sleeve 21; the opposite sides of the two support rods 22 are in contact; when the clamped sensor is firmly supported in the installation groove in the car, the rotating sleeve 21 can be driven at this time, and the rotating sleeve 21 can be rotated and moved upward by the thread. When the rotating sleeve 21 moves upward, the two support rods 22 are moved in opposite directions in the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 21 under the action of the traction structure 24, so that the sides of the two support rods 22 that are away from each other are in contact with the inner wall of the installation groove, so that the clamped sensor can be supported and fixed, which is convenient for better protection of the sensor and saving maintenance costs.

[0033] It should be known that if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to make the two support rods 22 slide steadily, a limiting column is provided on the side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 1, and a limiting groove is provided on at least one side of the support rod 22, preferably, a limiting groove is provided on both sides of the support rod 22, so that when the rotating sleeve 21 rotates, the support rod 22 can move up and down under the limit of the limiting column through the traction structure 24.

[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that in order to make the support rod 22 adaptively support, the side of the support rod 22 is spherical, and the side of the support rod 22 is movably installed with a support block 23, and the support block 23 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for the support block 23 to be movable and rotated, so that it can better fit with the side of the installation groove, so as to better provide stable support, thereby providing stable support for the sensor.

[0035] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that in order to make the support block 23 better support and improve the support effect, a rubber block is provided on the side of the support block 23 to increase the friction when the support block 23 contacts the side wall of the mounting groove, thereby providing more stable support and better protecting the sensor.

[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 5 and Figure 7As shown, the traction structure 24 includes traction blocks 241 respectively installed on the sides of the support rods 22, and traction grooves 242 opened in the rotating sleeve 21; the traction blocks 241 on the sides of the two support rods 22 cooperate with the corresponding traction grooves 242; when supporting, the rotating sleeve 21 can be driven, and the rotating sleeve 21 rotates and slowly moves upward in the arc-shaped clamping plate 1. When the rotating sleeve 21 rotates, it can rotate with the corresponding traction grooves 242 in the rotating sleeve 21, and then the two traction grooves 242 can respectively limit the traction blocks 241 on the sides of the two support rods 22, so that the two support rods 22 move back to back and extend out of the arc-shaped clamping plate 1 until they are pressed against the side of the installation groove, thereby fixing the entire device.

[0037] It is understandable that if Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the traction groove 242 is spiral in shape as a whole, and the traction groove 242 can be divided into two parts, an upward moving part and a downward moving part. The upward moving part corresponds to a support rod 22, and the downward moving part corresponds to a support rod 22. Therefore, when the rotating sleeve 21 rotates and slowly moves upward, the movement of the rotating sleeve 21 can bring the traction groove 242 to rotate, and the rotation of the upward moving part can bring the support rod 22 moving upward to move upward, and the rotation of the downward moving part can bring the support rod 22 moving downward to move downward, so that the two support rods 22 can move away from each other, and then approach the side of the installation groove and fit and squeeze each other to fix.

[0038] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the specification only describe the principles of the present application. The present application may have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present application for which protection is sought. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
