Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle components, and in particular, to a rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] On the aluminum profile welded parts in the vehicle engine compartment, it is necessary to provide a suitable mounting structure for the rubber bushing to meet the mating relationship between the rubber bushing and the opening in the aluminum profile. During installation, there should be a certain interference between the rubber bushing and the opening, and at the same time, it should have the effects of easy installation, non-detachment, and good fixation.

[0003] In the existing aluminum profile structure, circular holes are usually used for the openings. Since the size of the opening is the same as the inner hoop diameter of the rubber bushing and much smaller than the outer diameter of the rubber bushing, there is a problem of relatively large installation force during installation. In addition, the installation process also needs to be completed by an electric press and requires special tooling fixtures.

[0004] Therefore, if manual installation can be achieved instead of electric installation, it can save development costs and solve the problem of relatively large installation force in the case of low production capacity planning. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles and a vehicle, so as to solve the problem that the existing rubber bushing mounting structure needs to be installed by an electric press.

[0006] According to the first aspect of the present utility model, there is provided a rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles, wherein the rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles includes: a profile main body; a circular hole portion opened on the profile main body, in which a rubber bushing can be installed; and a strip hole portion opened on the side of the circular hole portion, the strip hole portion communicating with the circular hole portion, and the flattened rubber bushing can be placed in the strip hole portion.

[0007] Preferably, at least two circular hole portions are provided on the profile main body, the two circular hole portions are arranged at intervals, both of the two circular hole portions communicate with the strip hole portion, a notch is formed at the connection of the circular hole portion and the strip hole portion, and the notches of the two circular hole portions are arranged opposite to each other.

[0008] Preferably, the number of the strip hole portions is equal to the number of the circular hole portions, and the strip hole portions and the circular hole portions are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0009] Preferably, the profile main body includes: a first plate surface on which the circular hole portion and the strip hole portion are opened; and a second plate surface arranged opposite to the first plate surface.

[0010] Preferably, a bolt can be installed inside the rubber bushing, and an avoidance hole is formed in the second plate surface at a position corresponding to the bolt.

[0011] Preferably, an annular groove is formed on the outer surface of the rubber bushing, and the round hole portion can be clamped in the annular groove.

[0012] Preferably, the difference between the diameter of the round hole portion and the diameter of the rubber bushing at the position where the annular groove is provided is 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

[0013] Preferably, the first end of the strip-shaped hole portion communicates with the round hole portion, the strip-shaped hole portion extends along the radial direction of the round hole portion, and the second end of the strip-shaped hole portion is formed into a semi-circle.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the strip-shaped hole portion is equal to the width of the rubber bushing in the flattened state, the width of the strip-shaped hole portion is 16 mm, the sum of the lengths of the round hole portion and the strip-shaped hole portion is greater than the length of the rubber bushing in the flattened state, and the sum of the lengths of the round hole portion and the strip-shaped hole portion is 38 mm.

[0015] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, wherein the vehicle includes the rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles as described above.

[0016] In the rubber bushing mounting structure for profiles and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, the round hole portion is formed in the profile main body, and a rubber bushing can be installed inside the round hole portion. The strip-shaped hole portion is formed on the side of the round hole portion, and the strip-shaped hole portion communicates with the round hole portion. The flattened rubber bushing can be placed inside the strip-shaped hole portion. With such a setting, an operator can manually pinch the rubber bushing flat. After the rubber bushing is pinched flat, it can be first placed inside the strip-shaped hole portion, and then the rubber bushing is pushed into the round hole portion to make the rubber bushing rebound, so that the manual installation of the rubber bushing can be completed. Furthermore, the manual operation replaces the operation of the electric press. While ensuring the effect, the development cost is greatly saved, and thus the problem that the existing rubber bushing mounting structure needs to be installed by an electric press can be effectively solved.

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] The following detailed implementation manners are provided to help readers obtain a comprehensive understanding of the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein. However, after understanding the disclosure of the present application, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein will be obvious. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely an example and is not limited to the order set forth herein. Rather, changes that will be obvious after understanding the disclosure of the present application can be made, except for operations that must occur in a specific order. In addition, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted for the sake of clarity and conciseness.

[0026] The features described herein may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein are provided only to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein that will be obvious after understanding the disclosure of the present application.

[0027] Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "coupled to" another element, "above" another element, or "covering" another element, it can be directly "on" the other element, "connected to" the other element, "coupled to" the other element, "above" the other element, or "covering" the other element, or there can be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element, "directly coupled to" another element, "directly above" another element, or "directly covering" another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

[0028] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the listed related items and any combination of any two or more of them.

[0029] Although terms such as "first", "second", and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, elements, regions, layers, or parts, these components, elements, regions, layers, or parts are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, element, region, layer, or part from another. Thus, the first component, element, region, layer, or part described in the examples herein may also be referred to as the second component, element, region, layer, or part without departing from the teachings of the examples.

[0030] For ease of description, spatial relationship terms such as "above", "upper", "below", and "lower" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another as shown in the figures. Such spatial relationship terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as "above" or "upper" relative to another element will then be "below" or "lower" relative to the other element. Thus, the term "above" includes both the orientations of "above" and "below" depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be positioned in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relationship terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0031] The terms used herein are for describing various examples only and are not intended to limit the examples. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms are also intended to include the plural forms. The terms "comprising", "including" and "having" enumerate the stated features, quantities, operations, components, elements and / or combinations thereof that exist, but do not preclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, quantities, operations, components, elements and / or combinations thereof.

[0032] Due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, variations in the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Therefore, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

[0033] The features of the examples described herein can be combined in various ways that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application. In addition, although the examples described herein have various configurations, other configurations are possible, as will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, according to a first aspect of the present utility model, there is provided a mounting structure for a rubber bushing 4 for profiles, and the mounting structure for the rubber bushing 4 for profiles includes a profile body 1, a round hole portion 2, and a strip hole portion 3.

[0035] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 5 specifically describe the specific structures of the above components of the mounting structure for the rubber bushing 4 for profiles and the connection relationships of the above components.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in the embodiment, the round hole portion 2 can be formed in the profile body 1. The rubber bushing 4 can be installed in the round hole portion 2. The strip hole portion 3 can be formed in the side portion of the round hole portion 2, and the strip hole portion 3 can communicate with the round hole portion 2. The strip hole portion 3 can accommodate the rubber bushing 4 in a flattened state (i.e., extruded into a flat strip shape). With such a setting, an operator can manually pinch the rubber bushing 4 flat, and after flattening the rubber bushing 4, it can be first placed into the strip hole portion 3, and then the rubber bushing 4 is pushed into the round hole portion 2 to make the rubber bushing 4 rebound, so that the manual installation of the rubber bushing 4 can be completed. Furthermore, the manual operation replaces the operation of an electric press, which greatly saves the development cost while ensuring the effect.

[0037] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the embodiment, the profile body 1 can be an aluminum profile for a vehicle cabin. The cross section of the profile body 1 can be rectangular. The profile body 1 can include a first plate surface 11 and a second plate surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first plate surface 11 can be provided with a circular hole portion 2 and a strip hole portion 3, and the rubber bushing 4 is installed on the first plate surface 11. The second plate surface 12 can be arranged parallel to and opposite to the first plate surface 11.

[0038] Preferably, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the embodiment, the rubber bushing 4 can be a cylindrical structure. The outside of the rubber bushing 4 can be snap-fitted with the circular hole portion 2. Preferably, an annular groove 40 can be formed on the outer surface of the rubber bushing 4. The annular groove 40 can be arranged along the circumferential direction of the rubber bushing 4, and the annular groove 40 can be arranged in the center of the outer surface of the rubber bushing 4 (i.e., the center in the axial direction). The circular hole portion 2 can be snap-fitted with the annular groove 40, so that after the rubber bushing 4 rebounds, the circular hole portion 2 can just be snapped into the annular groove 40 on the outer surface of the rubber bushing, thereby fixing the position of the rubber bushing 4.

[0039] Preferably, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the embodiment, bolts 5 can also be installed inside the rubber bushing 4, so that the profile body 1 can be connected to other parts of the vehicle through the bolts 5. Specifically, the rubber bushing 4 can be sleeved on the outside of the bolt 5, and the bolt 5 can be penetrated through the first plate surface 11 of the profile body 1. A steel sleeve can also be sleeved on the outer periphery of the bolt 5, and the rubber bushing 4 can be sleeved on the outside of the steel sleeve. An annular gasket can also be provided between the steel sleeve and the cap of the bolt 5 to position the steel sleeve, and then the rubber bushing 4 can be positioned. The inner diameter of the annular gasket can be smaller than the outer diameter of the cap to prevent the gasket from falling off from the top of the bolt 5.

[0040] Further, preferably, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the embodiment, the second plate surface 12 of the profile body 1 may be provided with an escape hole 120 at the position corresponding to the bolt 5, and the escape hole 120 is used for the operator to install and remove the bolt 5. The escape hole 120 may be circular in shape, and the escape hole 120 may be coaxial with the circular hole portion 2, and the size of the escape hole 120 may be larger than the size of the rubber bushing 4, so that the operator can install the rubber bushing 4 into the circular hole portion 2 from the side where the escape hole 120 is provided.

[0041] In addition, preferably, Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the embodiment, at least two circular hole portions 2 may be provided on the profile body 1. The two circular hole portions 2 may be spaced apart in the length direction of the profile body 1. The two circular hole portions 2 may both communicate with the strip-shaped hole portion 3, so that rubber bushings 4 can be installed in both of the two circular hole portions 2. A notch may be formed at the connection of the circular hole portion 2 and the strip-shaped hole portion 3 (that is, the circular hole portion 2 is not formed as a closed circle). The notches of the two circular hole portions 2 may be arranged oppositely, that is, both of the two notches are located on the connection line of the centers of the two circular hole portions 2. Since when a single circular hole portion 2 and the strip-shaped hole portion 3 are provided, the installation structure has a situation of sliding toward the notch side of the circular hole portion 2. Therefore, two circular hole portions 2 may be provided on the profile body 1 at the same time, and the notches of the two circular hole portions 2 may be arranged oppositely. Thus, after the profile body 1 is fixed by the two rubber bushings 4, the profile body 1 will be stressed in the notch directions of the two circular hole portions 2, thereby realizing reverse self-locking and effectively preventing the occurrence of dislocation, sliding and loosening phenomena.

[0042] Further, preferably, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, in the embodiment, the number of the strip-shaped hole portions 3 may be equal to the number of the circular hole portions 2. That is, a separate strip-shaped hole portion 3 is provided on the side of each circular hole portion 2, and the strip-shaped hole portions 3 may be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the circular hole portions 2. When a plurality of circular hole portions 2 are provided on the profile body 1, the numbers of the circular hole portions 2 and the strip-shaped hole portions 3 are both even numbers.

[0043] However, not limited thereto, in the embodiment, the case where the number of the strip-shaped hole portions 3 is equal to the number of the circular hole portions 2 and a separate strip-shaped hole portion 3 is provided on the side of each circular hole portion 2 is only a preferred case in the embodiment. As long as the rubber bushing 4 can be installed in the circular hole portion 2, the number of the strip-shaped hole portions 3 may also be set to other cases. For example: the number of the circular hole portions is two, and the number of the strip-shaped hole portions is one. At this time, the strip-shaped hole portion may be provided between the two circular hole portions. The two circular hole portions communicate through the strip-shaped hole portion, that is, the same strip-shaped hole portion is used when the rubber bushings are installed in the two circular hole portions.

[0044] In addition, preferably, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, in the embodiment, the extending direction of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 may be the radial direction of the circular hole portion 2. Specifically, the first end of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 (which may be the left end as shown in Figure 4 ) may communicate with the circular hole portion 2, and the connection portion therebetween forms the notch. The strip-shaped hole portion 3 extends along the radial direction of the circular hole portion 2, and the second end of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 (which may be the right end as shown in Figure 4 ) is formed as a semicircle. Such a setting makes it easy to install the flattened rubber bushing 4 into the strip-shaped hole portion 3, and it is easy to push the rubber bushing 4 in the strip-shaped hole portion 3 into the circular hole portion 2.

[0045] Preferably, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment, the difference between the diameter of the round hole portion 2 and the diameter of the rubber bushing 4 at the position where the annular groove 40 is provided may be 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Specifically, the radius of the round hole portion 2 may be the first radius 61. Preferably, the first radius 61 may be 11.25 mm. The outer diameter 72 of the rubber bushing 4 at the position where the annular groove 40 is provided may be 22 mm. Such a setting facilitates the assembly between the rubber bushing 4 and the round hole portion 2.

[0046] More preferably, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment, the width of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 may be equal to the width of the rubber bushing 4 in the flattened state, and the sum of the lengths of the round hole portion 2 and the strip-shaped hole portion 3 may be greater than the length of the rubber bushing 4 in the flattened state. Specifically, the second end of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 may be formed as a semi-circular hole. The radius of the semi-circular hole may be the second radius 62, and the second radius 62 may preferably be 8 mm. The width of the strip-shaped hole portion 3 is preferably 16 mm, which is equal to the width of the rubber bushing 4 in the flattened state. The sum of the lengths of the round hole portion 2 and the strip-shaped hole portion 3 (equal to the sum of the first radius 61, the second radius 62, and the center distance 63 between the round hole portion 2 and the semi-circular hole) is 38 mm, and the center distance 63 may be 18.75 mm. Such a setting facilitates the assembly between the rubber bushing 4 in the flattened state and the strip-shaped hole portion 3. In addition, the thickness (i.e., the first thickness 73) of the rubber bushing 4 at the position where the annular groove 40 is provided is preferably 3.75 mm. The thickness (i.e., the second thickness 74) of the rubber bushing 4 at the position where the annular groove 40 is not provided is preferably 8 mm. The inner diameter 71 of the rubber bushing 4 is preferably 14.5 mm. The above dimensions are the relatively optimal dimensions measured in multiple experiments, which can ensure a relatively optimal fixing effect when the rubber bushing 4 is installed and are also easy for the operator to install.

[0047] In addition, according to the second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, and the vehicle includes the rubber bushing 4 mounting structure for the profile as described above.

[0048] During use, the operator can manually pinch the rubber bushing 4 flat. After flattening the rubber bushing 4, it can be first placed into the strip-shaped hole portion 3, and then the rubber bushing 4 is pushed into the round hole portion 2 to make the rubber bushing 4 rebound. In this way, the manual installation of the rubber bushing 4 can be completed. Thus, the manual operation replaces the operation of the electric press, which greatly saves the development cost while ensuring the effect.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific embodiments of the present application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person skilled in the technical field can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
