[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pipe clamp 100 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a clamping portion 10, a first mounting portion 20 and a second mounting portion 30. The clamping portion 10 is provided with a clamping groove 11; the first mounting portion 20 is connected to the clamping portion 10, and the first mounting portion 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 21, and the first mounting hole 21 has a first orifice 210 for inserting a fastener 101; the second mounting portion 30 is connected to the clamping portion 10, and the second mounting portion 30 is provided with a second mounting hole 31, and the second mounting hole 31 has a second orifice 310 for inserting a fastener 101, and the second orifice 310 is opposite to the first orifice 210.

[0034] In the pipe clamp 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the first orifice 210 and the second orifice 310 are oriented in opposite directions, so the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 can be used to install components in opposite directions, respectively, which broadens the applicable scenarios of the pipe clamp 100.

[0035] Specifically, the pipe clamp 100 is a device for fixing pipes or wire harnesses in the vehicle 1000, thereby reducing the movement of the pipes or wire harnesses during the operation of the vehicle 1000. The clamping portion 10 is a structure for clamping with the pipes or wire harnesses, and the pipes or wire harnesses can be inserted into the clamping slot 11.

[0036] The first mounting portion 20 and the second mounting portion 30 are structures for fixing the pipe clamp 100 so that the pipe clamp 100 can be stably installed on the vehicle 1000. For example, the pipe clamp 100 can be installed at the floor 200 of the vehicle 1000. The installation of the pipe clamp 100 has multiple scenarios. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the pipe clamp 100 can be directly installed on the floor 200 of the vehicle 1000 through the first mounting portion 20; Figure 3 As shown, the pipe clamp 100 can also be installed on the bracket 300 through the second installation portion 30 and then installed on the floor 200 of the vehicle 1000 through the bracket 300.

[0037] The mounting point of the bracket 300 is in a different direction from the mounting point of the floor 200, for example, the mounting points are in opposite directions. Therefore, based on different installation requirements, it is necessary to select pipe clamps 100 of different structures. Since the first mounting portion 20 and the second mounting portion 30 are provided with the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 with the openings facing in opposite directions, fasteners 101 can be respectively provided in the first mounting portion 20 and the second mounting portion 30, so that the pipe clamp 100 can be installed with components in different directions, thereby broadening the applicable scenarios of the pipe clamp 100.

[0038] The first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may both be through holes that penetrate the pipe clamp 100. The parameters such as the hole diameter and hole depth of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may be the same or different. The types of the fasteners 101 inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may be the same or different. For example, the fasteners 101 inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may both be studs.

[0039] The fastener 101 may also be a screw, a bolt, etc. After the stud is inserted into the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 31 and connects the floor 200 and other components with the pipe clamp 100 , it can be further fixed by welding, thereby enhancing the stability of the pipe clamp 100 .

[0040] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 are arranged opposite to each other along the hole depth direction H. In this way, the arrangement of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 makes the structure of the pipe clamp 100 compact and reduces the overall space occupied by the pipe clamp 100.

[0041] Specifically, the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 are arranged opposite each other along the hole depth direction H, which means that the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 are completely aligned in the hole depth direction H, or the axes of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 are on the same straight line.

[0042] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, there are multiple first mounting portions 20 and second mounting portions 30 , and the first mounting portions 20 and the second mounting portions 30 correspond one to one. Each first mounting portion 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 21 , and each second mounting portion 30 is provided with a second mounting hole 31 .

[0043] Thus, since there are multiple first mounting parts 20 and second mounting parts 30, and they are arranged one by one, the pipe clamp 100 can be fixed at multiple positions at the same time, thereby realizing multi-point fixation of the pipeline or wire harness. This multi-point fixation method not only enhances the firmness of the fixation, but also effectively reduces the probability of displacement or movement of the pipeline or wire harness in a complex environment.

[0044] In addition, since each first mounting portion 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 21 and each second mounting portion 30 is provided with a second mounting hole 31 , each mounting portion can be independently installed with the fastener 101 .

[0045] Specifically, the number of the first mounting portions 20 may be two, three, four or even more, and the number of the second mounting portions 30 may be two, three, four or even more.

[0046] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, limit blocks 40 are disposed on opposite sides of the card slot 11 , and the limit blocks 40 extend from the edge of the card slot 11 toward the inside of the card slot 11 .

[0047] In this way, the setting of the stop block 40 is conducive to the installation of the pipeline or wire harness. After the installation is completed, the stop block 40 can define the position of the pipeline or wire harness and limit the movement of the pipeline or wire harness in the slot 11.

[0048] Specifically, the limit block 40 is a structure for limiting the pipeline or wiring harness. The limit block 40 can be made of an elastic material, such as plastic. The limit block 40 can have a certain distance from the edge of the slot 11 to facilitate the deformation of the limit block 40, and the limit block 40 can change its state through its own deformation. When the pipeline or wiring harness is not installed, the limit block 40 can be in a first state. During the installation of the pipeline or wiring harness, the pipeline or wiring harness contacts the limit block 40, causing the limit block 40 to deform, and the limit block 40 can change from the first state to the second state. When the pipeline or wiring harness is installed, the limit block 40 can be restored from the second state to the first state.

[0049] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the limiting block 40 is connected to the edge of the notch 110 of the card slot 11 .

[0050] In this way, the position of the limiting block 40 enables the card slot 11 to provide a larger installation space, so that the card slot 11 can accommodate larger pipes or wire harnesses as much as possible.

[0051] Specifically, the limiting block 40 can be integrally formed with the card slot 11 , or can be separately formed with the card slot 11 .

[0052] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the clamping portion 10 includes a main body 12 and two side walls 13 connected to the main body 12, the two side walls 13 are arranged at intervals, the main body 12 and the two side walls 13 jointly define a clamping slot 11, a notch 110 of the clamping slot 11 is formed between the two side walls 13, and the main body 12 is provided with a reinforcing rib 120.

[0053] In this way, the provision of the reinforcing ribs 120 can effectively improve the overall strength and stability of the clamping portion 10 , prevent the clamping portion 10 from being deformed or damaged when subjected to external forces, and thus enhance the durability of the pipe clamp 100 .

[0054] Specifically, the body 12 is the main part that forms the outline of the clamping part 10, and is used to support and fix other parts of the clamping part 10. The two side walls 13 can be integrally formed with the body 12, and the distance between the two side walls 13 can be set according to requirements. The distance of the clamping slot 11 can be equal to the distance between the two side walls 13, or it can be unequal to the distance between the two side walls 13.

[0055] The reinforcing rib 120 may be provided on the body 12, and the reinforcing rib 120 may connect the clamping slot 11 and other parts of the body 12 to enhance the overall strength and stability of the body 12. For a larger pipe clamp 100, for example, for a pipe clamp 100 with a size exceeding 100 mm, the angle of the reinforcing rib 120 may be 45°.

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clamping portion 10 includes a body 12 and a flexible member 14 . The body 12 is provided with a through groove 121 . A plurality of protrusions 122 arranged at intervals are provided in the through groove 121 . The flexible member 14 wraps the plurality of protrusions 122 . The flexible member 14 forms a clamping groove 11 .

[0057] In this way, the flexible member 14 can produce a certain deformation according to the shape and structure of the pipeline and the wire harness, so as to fit more closely with the pipeline or the wire harness. In addition, the flexible member 14 can reduce the friction between the pipeline or the wire harness and the body 12, thereby reducing the probability of wear of the body 12. The multiple protrusions 122 arranged at intervals can enhance the connection strength between the body 12 and the flexible member 14, reduce the probability of separation between the flexible member 14 and the body 12, and thus improve the durability of the pipe clamp 100.

[0058] Specifically, the flexible member 14 can be made of soft rubber materials such as rubber and silicone rubber, and the main body 12 can be made of hard plastic materials such as polyphenylene sulfide and polyoxymethylene resin. The flexible member 14 and the main body 12 can be combined by a secondary injection molding process. For example, after the main body 12 is injection molded, the flexible member 14 is injection molded on the main body 12 again. A slot 11 can be formed on the side of the flexible member 14 away from the main body 12. After the pipeline or wiring harness is placed in the slot 11, the flexible member 14 can be used to wrap the pipeline or wiring harness, thereby reducing the friction between the pipeline or wiring harness and the main body 12. The shape of the through groove 121 can be a regular shape, such as a semicircle, or an irregular shape. The shape of the through groove 121 can match the shape of the required placement of the pipeline or wiring harness.

[0059] The number of the protrusions 122 may be two, three, four or even more. The protrusions 122 may be entirely wrapped by the flexible member 14, and the shape of the protrusions 122 may be a regular shape such as a rectangle or a circle, or an irregular shape.

[0060] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the protrusion 122 is dovetail-shaped. Thus, the dovetail-shaped protrusion 122 can increase the separation force between the flexible member 14 and the protrusion 122, thereby reducing the probability of separation between the flexible member 14 and the body 12, thereby improving the durability of the pipe clamp 100.

[0061] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, there are multiple clamping portions 10, and the multiple clamping portions 10 are arranged in the same direction.

[0062] Thus, the plurality of clamping parts 10 provide a plurality of installation positions, so that the pipe clamp 100 can be suitable for the installation of a plurality of pipelines or wiring harnesses. In addition, the plurality of clamping parts 10 arranged in the same direction are conducive to the arrangement of pipelines or wiring harnesses, and improve the convenience of installation.

[0063] Specifically, the number of the clamping parts 10 can be two, three, four or even more. The same direction can be horizontal, vertical or oblique, for example, a plurality of clamping parts 10 can be arranged along the same straight line direction.

[0064] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, an elastic member 50 is disposed in each of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 , and the elastic member 50 is used to fix the fastener 101 .

[0065] In this way, the elastic member 50 can reduce the operating force required for installing the fastener 101 , and at the same time can increase the release force of the fastener 101 , thereby improving the stability of the pipe clamp 100 .

[0066] Specifically, the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may be holes of regular shapes, such as circular, elliptical, etc., or holes of irregular shapes. Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting hole 21 can be an elliptical hole, and the tolerance between the first mounting hole 21 and the fastener 101 can be 1 mm, so that when the fastener 101 is installed, the welding size deviation of the fastener 101 can be absorbed, the installation operation force can be reduced, and the release force of the fastener 101 can be increased.

[0067] The elastic member 50 can be connected to the hole wall of the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 31, and extend toward the hole axis of the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 31. The number of elastic members 50 can be multiple, for example, the elastic members 50 can be two, three, four or even more. Multiple elastic members 50 can absorb the welding deviation between two or more stud welding points. The elastic member 50 can be connected to the first mounting portion 20 or the second mounting portion 30 in an integrally formed manner, and the elastic member 50 can be a spring clip, a spring clip or a limiting fin, etc. Before installing the fastener 101, the spring clip can be in the first state. After installing the fastener 101, the spring clip can be in the second state, and the spring clip at this time is tightly fitted with the surface of the fastener 101.

[0068] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the elastic member 50 can be a limiting fin, and a plurality of limiting fins can be provided on the inner walls of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31. The plurality of limiting fins can extend toward the axis of the mounting hole. Before the fastener 101 is inserted into the mounting hole, the distance between the two limiting fins extending toward each other is a first distance. After the fastener 101 is inserted into the mounting hole, the distance between the two limiting fins extending toward each other is a second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance. At this time, the distance between the two limiting fins approaching each other increases and fits on the outer surface of the fastener 101, thereby fixing the position of the fastener 101 and improving the stability of the fastener 101.

[0069] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The vehicle 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model includes the pipe clamp 100 of any of the above embodiments. Since the vehicle 1000 includes the above pipe clamp 100, it at least includes all the beneficial effects of the pipe clamp 100, which will not be repeated here.
