Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle component installation structures, in particular to an installation buckle and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, many vehicle control modules are installed on the body sheet metal by punching holes. Taking the Bluetooth module as an example, most current vehicles are equipped with digital keys, especially Bluetooth keys, so that users can control the vehicle with only a mobile phone. Bluetooth keys are divided into single-node Bluetooth mode and multi-node Bluetooth mode. Compared with the single-node Bluetooth mode, the multi-node Bluetooth mode has more accurate positioning and more comprehensive functions, such as active entry and active departure, which cannot be achieved by the single-node Bluetooth mode. In this way, after the user connects the Bluetooth key, there is no need for any operation. Just approach the vehicle to welcome and unlock the vehicle, and it can be automatically locked after getting off and leaving.

[0003] The function of multi-node Bluetooth mode needs to add multiple slave modules on the basis of the main module. The installation position of the slave module here needs to take into account the full range of data collection of the whole vehicle. Therefore, most of the layout plans are one main module plus three slave modules. The three slave modules are respectively located in the front left, front right, and rear of the vehicle, so as to ensure that positioning data can be collected in all directions of the vehicle. However, the communication between the Bluetooth module and the Bluetooth antenna is radio frequency, which needs to be kept away from iron parts to prevent signal interference. Therefore, there are certain restrictions on the layout of the Bluetooth antenna. However, there are many components and iron parts inside the vehicle, resulting in very few installation locations for the Bluetooth antenna.

[0004] Existing Bluetooth antennas are usually installed on the front and rear bumpers and on the body sheet metal by punching holes. If installed on the body sheet metal by punching holes, the functional modules installed on the body sheet metal, such as the Bluetooth antenna, will have different degrees of screw slippage or failure to drive in due to the different body sheet metal materials and thicknesses of different models. If the sheet metal is too thick or the sheet metal material is hard and the self-tapping screw breaking torque is much smaller than the yield strength of the body, the screws will not be able to be driven into the sheet metal or the screws will break and cannot be tightened.

[0005] In addition, currently, a round hole matching the self-tapping screw is usually punched directly on the sheet metal for installation. However, the self-tapping screws of some smaller modules are smaller and the required hole diameter is relatively small. The processing accuracy cannot be controlled on the body sheet metal, and the small self-tapping screws cannot be fastened to some sheet metal materials with higher yield strength.

[0036] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in a further embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present disclosure.

[0037] The first embodiment of the utility model provides a mounting buckle 10, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the mounting buckle 10 is arranged on the body sheet metal 20, especially on the inner side of the body sheet metal 20, wherein the thickness of the body sheet metal 20 is generally 0.7-1.0 mm, wherein a vehicle functional module 30 such as a Bluetooth antenna module can be fixed on the body sheet metal 20 through the mounting buckle 10, specifically, the mounting buckle 10 can be arranged on the inner side of the body sheet metal 20 by a snap-on manner, and the mounting buckle 10 can be made of plastic, which facilitates the connection between the mounting buckle 10 and the body sheet metal 20.

[0038] The vehicle function module 30 is installed on the body sheet metal 20 by at least one of the mounting buckles 10. The number of the mounting buckles 10 depends on factors such as the mounting position of the vehicle function module 30 on the body sheet metal 20, the size of the vehicle function module 30, and the degree of mounting stability. In this embodiment, the vehicle function module 30 can be fixed on the body sheet metal 20 by two of the mounting buckles 10.

[0039] In order to facilitate the fixation of the mounting buckle 10 on the body sheet metal 20 , a mounting hole 40 is provided on the body sheet metal, and the mounting buckle 10 can be inserted into the mounting hole 40 and snapped at the edge of the mounting hole 40 .

[0040] Specifically, the mounting buckle 10 includes a fixing portion 1, which is used to connect to the vehicle functional module 30. The cross-section of the fixing portion 1 here can be a rectangle or other suitable shapes; a connecting portion 2 is provided at the lower part of the fixing portion 1, and the connecting portion 2 here can be formed integrally with the fixing portion 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting portion 2 match the dimensions of the mounting hole 40, so that the connecting portion 2 can be inserted into the mounting hole 40 on the body sheet metal 10. Here, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting portion 2 are rectangular, and the mounting hole 40 can be a square hole accordingly, so that the mounting buckle 10 can be fixed more firmly in the mounting hole 40.

[0042] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimension of the fixing portion 1 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting portion 2 to form a T-shaped shape, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the fixing portion 1 is larger than the dimension of the mounting hole 40, so that when the connecting portion 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 30, the fixing portion 1 protrudes from the inner surface of the vehicle body sheet metal 10 and covers the mounting hole 40, and is connected to the vehicle function module 30 through the fixing portion 1, so that the vehicle function module 30 can be fixed on the inner side of the vehicle body sheet metal 20.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection with the vehicle function module 30, a connection hole 11 is provided in the middle of the fixing portion 1, the connection hole 11 extends toward the connecting portion 2, and a thread is provided in the connection hole 11 to facilitate the cooperation with fasteners such as screws, so that the vehicle function module can be installed on the fixing portion 1 through the cooperation of fasteners such as screws and the connection hole 11. In this way, when the mounting buckle 10 is set on the vehicle body sheet metal 20, the vehicle function module 30 can be fixed on the mounting buckle 10.

[0044] Furthermore, a through hole 21 is provided on the connecting portion 2, wherein the through hole 21 extends along the length direction of the connecting portion 2, wherein the length direction refers to the direction of insertion of fasteners such as screws, wherein the through hole 21 can be connected to the connecting hole 11, so that fasteners such as screws can extend from the connecting hole 11 and be inserted into the through hole 21, so that the connection between the vehicle function module 30 and the mounting buckle 10 is more secure. At the same time, since the through hole 21 is provided in the connecting portion 2, when the connecting portion 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 40, the outer wall of the connecting portion 2 can be deformed under the action of the extrusion force so as to be smoothly inserted into the mounting hole 40.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the removal of the mounting clip 10 from the vehicle body sheet metal 20, movable extrusion portions 13 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the connecting portion 2. The extrusion portion 13 here can be a vertically arranged extrusion plate, and the first end of the extrusion portion 13 is connected to the lower portion of the connecting portion 2, and the second end of the extrusion portion 13 is movably arranged in a free state.

[0046] In addition, a through groove 12 is provided on the fixing portion 1, and the second ends of the two extrusion portions 13 can extend from bottom to top into the through groove 12, and are located opposite to each other on both sides of the connecting hole 11, so that by squeezing the two extrusion portions 13 toward the connecting hole 11 at the same time, the mounting buckle 10 can be pulled out of the mounting hole 40 by the action of the extrusion force and the friction force to realize the disassembly of the mounting buckle 10.

[0047] Furthermore, a limiting portion 22 is provided on the outer surface of the extrusion portion 13 , and the mounting buckle 10 is snapped in place by the cooperation between the limiting portion 22 and the mounting hole 40 . In some embodiments, the limiting portion 22 can be provided on the outer surface of the extrusion portion 13 in the form of a raised structure.

[0048] Furthermore, the cross-section of the limiting portion 22 here is a triangle, so that the lower surface and the upper surface of the limiting portion 22 are both inclined, and the upper surface of the raised structure is also opposite to the lower surface of the fixing portion 1. In this way, when the connecting portion 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 40, the inclined lower surface of the limiting portion 22 is squeezed against the edge of the mounting hole 40 so that the squeezing portion 13 is forced inward, which facilitates the insertion of the connecting portion 2 into the mounting hole 40. At the same time, due to the inclined upper surface of the limiting portion 22, the edge of the mounting hole 40 can be smoothly clamped between the lower surface of the fixing portion 1 and the upper surface of the limiting portion 22 during clamping, so that the mounting buckle 10 can be stably fixed in the mounting hole 40.

[0049] In addition, the bottom of the connecting portion 2 is a reduced structure, which facilitates inserting the connecting portion 2 into the mounting hole 40 .

[0050] In one embodiment, two mounting holes 40 are provided on the body sheet metal 30, the positions of the mounting holes 40 are determined according to the size of the vehicle function module 30, and a corresponding mounting buckle 10 is provided on each mounting hole 40, and two mounting parts of the vehicle function module 30 are respectively connected to the connection holes 11 on the corresponding mounting buckles 10 through fasteners, so that the vehicle function module 30 is stably mounted on the body sheet metal 30 through two fixing points. Of course, the number of the mounting buckles 10 can be increased according to actual needs to increase the number of the fixing points.

[0051] Compared with the traditional method of drilling holes in the body sheet metal, the installation buckle and installation method of the above embodiment will not cause the screw to slip or be unable to screw in. For example, when the sheet metal is too thick or the sheet metal material is hard, it can avoid the problem that the screw cannot be screwed into the sheet metal or the screw breaks and cannot be fastened. In addition, if the fastener such as the screw is small and the hole diameter of the connection hole is relatively small, fastening can also be achieved.

[0052] A second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle having a body sheet metal 20 , wherein at least one mounting hole 40 is disposed on the body sheet metal 20 , and a mounting buckle 10 as described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments is disposed in the mounting hole 40 , and a vehicle function module 30 is fixed by the mounting buckle 10 .

[0053] On the one hand, the embodiment of the utility model can realize the snap connection with the body sheet metal to facilitate installation on the body sheet metal, and on the other hand, it can be connected with the body function module through fasteners to facilitate installation of the body function module on the body sheet metal. This installation method is not only suitable for body sheets of different specifications, but also has the advantages of simple and convenient installation and firm fixation.

[0054] In addition to the above, it should be noted that "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "embodiment", etc. mentioned in this specification refer to the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment included in at least one embodiment generally described in this application. The same expression appearing in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Further, when describing a specific feature, structure or characteristic in conjunction with any embodiment, it is claimed that the realization of such feature, structure or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0055] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
