[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 4 The buckle, buckle mounting structure and vehicle according to the embodiments of the utility model are described.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the buckle of the embodiment of the utility model includes: a buckle body 1, a spring piece 2, a flexible member 3 and a plug-in portion 4, the spring piece 2 is arranged on the buckle body 1, the spring piece 2 and the buckle body 1 define a clamping channel 11 for clamping the pipe circuit, the flexible member 3 is arranged on the buckle body 1, the flexible member 3 can form a fastening channel 31 for locking the wiring harness, the plug-in portion 4 is arranged on the buckle body 1, and the plug-in portion 4 is used to be plugged and fixed in the sheet metal hole.

[0033] In the buckle of the embodiment of the utility model, since the spring piece 2 and the buckle body 1 define a clamping channel 11, the pipeline can be clamped and fixed through the clamping channel 11, and since the flexible member 3 can enclose a fastening channel 31 for locking the wire harness, the wire harness can be fixed through the flexible member 3. In addition, the buckle can be fixed in the sheet metal hole of the sheet metal part through the plug-in portion 4, so that only one buckle is needed to complete the fixing work of the pipeline and the wire harness at the same time, which is conducive to reducing space occupation and is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0034] It is understandable that the spring sheet 2 has a certain elasticity. When the pipeline needs to be clamped, the operator can squeeze the spring sheet 2 to open the clamping channel 11, thereby clamping the pipeline into the clamping channel 11.

[0035] For example, the pipeline may be a water pipe, an oil pipe or a gas pipe.

[0036] Optionally, the spring piece 2 includes a first spring piece 212 and a second spring piece 222, both of which are connected to the buckle body 1, and the first spring piece 212 and the second spring piece 222 are spaced apart along the circumference of the clamping channel 11 and define a clamping inlet, which can be communicated with the clamping channel 11. The first spring piece 212 and the second spring piece 222 both have a certain elasticity, so that the operator can press the pipeline from the position of the clamping inlet into the clamping channel 11. In the example of the present application, when the first spring piece 212 and the second spring piece 222 are subjected to the extrusion force, the opening of the clamping inlet is larger, so that the pipeline can be clamped into the clamping channel 11. When the first spring piece 212 and the second spring piece 222 are not subjected to external force, the opening of the clamping inlet is smaller, thereby limiting the pipeline from being disengaged from the position of the clamping inlet.

[0037] In other examples, the card-connecting inlet may be in a closed state when not subjected to external force, that is, the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 elastically abut against each other to block the card-connecting inlet, so as to prevent the pipeline from being dislodged from the position of the card-connecting inlet.

[0038] For example, the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 may be spaced apart along the axial direction of the clamping channel 11 . For another example, the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 are arranged opposite to each other along the circumferential direction of the clamping channel 11 .

[0039] In one example, if Figure 2As shown, the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 are arranged relatively along the circumference of the clamping channel 11. Among them, the first elastic sheet 212 has a first guide surface 211, and the second elastic sheet 222 has a second guide surface 221. The first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 221 are arranged relatively along the circumference of the clamping channel 11 and define a guide cavity 23, and the guide cavity 23 gradually shrinks in the direction toward the clamping entrance. It can be understood that in the projection plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the clamping channel 11, the contour surrounded by the guide cavity 23 gradually shrinks in the direction toward the clamping entrance. In other words, the structure of the first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 221 is generally V-shaped. This can facilitate the guidance of the installation of the pipeline and improve the installation efficiency of the pipeline.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 has a preset angle with the buckle body 1. In the example of the present application, the extending direction of the first elastic sheet 212 has a preset angle with the wall surface of the buckle body 1, and the extending direction of the second elastic sheet 222 also has a preset angle with the wall surface of the buckle body 1. This makes it easier for the first elastic sheet 212 and the second elastic sheet 222 to be elastically deformed when they are compressed.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the buckle body 1, the first spring piece 212 and the second spring piece 222 can be processed and formed by integral injection molding, which can improve the connection strength between the spring piece 2 and the buckle body 1 on the one hand, and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the buckle on the other hand, with low cost.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a through hole 13 is provided in the buckle body 1, and the flexible member 3 is movably arranged in the through hole 13 and is detachably connected to the buckle body 1. It is understandable that the flexible member 3 and the buckle body 1 can be connected by a later assembly method, so that the flexible member 3 and the buckle body 1 can be processed and manufactured separately. On the other hand, when the flexible member 3 is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the entire buckle, that is, only the damaged flexible member 3 can be replaced, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost.

[0043] Optionally, the flexible member 3 is a cable tie, and the head end of the cable tie can be inserted into the tail end of the cable tie to form a fastening channel 31 .

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the buckle body 1 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 12, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 12 are staggeredly arranged on the buckle body 1. The buckle of the embodiment of the utility model can improve the structural strength of the buckle by providing a plurality of reinforcing ribs 12 on the buckle body 1. In addition, by increasing the structural strength of the buckle by adding the reinforcing ribs 12, the weight of the buckle can be reduced, and the cost of manufacturing the buckle can be reduced.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the plug-in portion 4 includes a guide section 42 and a fixed section 41, the first end of the fixed section 41 is connected to the buckle body 1, and the second end of the fixed section 41 is connected to the guide section 42. In the direction from the first end of the fixed section 41 to the second end of the fixed section 41, the outer peripheral contour of the fixed section 41 gradually increases, and the outer peripheral contour of the guide section 42 gradually decreases. It can be understood that when the plug-in portion 4 is plugged into the sheet metal hole, the guide hole can guide the plugging of the plug-in portion 4. When the guide section 42 is inserted into the sheet metal hole and passes through the fixed section 41, since the outer peripheral contour of the fixed section 41 gradually increases in the direction from the first end of the fixed section 41 to the second end of the fixed section 41, the second end of the fixed section 41 can limit the fixed section 41 from slipping out of the sheet metal hole, so as to improve the fixing effect between the plug-in portion 4 and the sheet metal.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the buckle further includes an abutment portion 5, which is disposed between the buckle body 1 and the plug-in portion 4. In a projection plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the plug-in portion 4, the outer peripheral contour of the abutment portion 5 is larger than the outer peripheral contour of the plug-in portion 4. When the buckle is fixed to the sheet metal, the abutment portion 5 can abut against the outer peripheral edge of the sheet metal hole, thereby improving the firmness of the buckle installation.

[0047] A snap-on mounting structure of another embodiment of the present invention comprises a wiring harness (not shown), a pipeline (not shown), a snap-on and a sheet metal part (not shown). The snap-on is the snap-on mounting structure of the present invention. The wiring harness is fixedly inserted into the fastening channel 31, the pipeline is fixedly inserted into the clamping channel 11, a sheet metal hole is provided on the sheet metal part, and the plug-in portion 4 is plugged and fixed in the sheet metal hole.

[0048] According to the buckle installation structure of the embodiment of the utility model, since the spring piece 2 and the buckle body 1 define a buckle channel 11, the pipeline can be buckled and fixed through the buckle channel 11, and since the flexible member 3 can enclose a fastening channel 31 for locking the wire harness, the wire harness can be fixed through the flexible member 3. In addition, the buckle can be fixed in the sheet metal hole of the sheet metal part through the plug-in portion 4, so that only one buckle is needed to complete the fixing work of the pipeline and the wire harness at the same time, which is conducive to reducing space occupation and is convenient for disassembly and assembly.
