They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] During the installation of vehicle air-conditioning systems, when multiple tubular structures are suspended in the air with no place to fix them, they are usually connected by two movable clamps. However, the connection and fixation process of the two movable parts is often complicated and time-consuming. Materials are easily discarded during the production or installation process, resulting in a waste of material resources. In addition, the system takes up a lot of space, which is not conducive to the fixation of air-conditioning pipes in a small space.

[0030] like Figure 1-2As shown, the utility model provides a clamp structure, including a base plate 3 and a hoop body, the hoop body is arranged on the base plate 3, the hoop body includes a hoop ring and a support ear for fixing the hoop, the support ear is fixedly connected to the base plate 3 by a fixing piece, and the hoop ring is arranged in a ring to form a hoop hole for accommodating a tightened object to be constrained; at least two hoop bodies are provided, and in a horizontal cross section, the multiple hoop bodies are axially symmetrical.

[0031] The clamp structure consists of multiple symmetrical, integrated hoops, reducing its size and footprint, making it easier to secure air conditioning pipes in confined spaces. The symmetrical design of the hoops within the clamp also improves the stability and balance of the entire clamp structure, making the object being restrained more secure, effectively improving the accuracy of the fixation and the efficiency of the installer.

[0032] It is understood that the base plate 3 is a substrate that provides support and connection, and is a plate-shaped structure with uniform thickness. The longitudinal cross-section of the base plate 3 can be any of circular, annular, square, and other shapes. Those skilled in the art can select and design according to actual needs.

[0033] As a possible embodiment of the present application, the base plate 3 is a rectangular plate-shaped structure, and a hoop is provided at the end of the base plate 3. The hoop is arranged in a ring to form a hoop hole for accommodating and tightening the object to be constrained. Those skilled in the art can adjust the shape and size of the hoop (hoop hole) according to the size or shape of the object to be constrained.

[0034] Furthermore, the hoop hole is any one of circular, elliptical, quadrilateral, and polygonal. The shape of the hoop hole matches the shape of the object to be constrained, thereby better securing the object to be constrained. Preferably, since the object to be constrained is a tubular or cylindrical structure, the shape of the hoop hole (hoop) in this embodiment is circular.

[0035] Typically, the inner diameter of the hoop (the diameter of the hoop hole) must be greater than or equal to the maximum outer diameter of the object to be constrained in order for the object to be accommodated within the hoop hole and further tightened. Preferably, in this embodiment, the diameter of the hoop hole (the inner diameter of the hoop) is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the object to be constrained.

[0036] As an embodiment of the present application, two hoop bodies are symmetrically provided, and the two hoop bodies respectively include a first hoop body 1 and a second hoop body 2. When in use, the first hoop body 1 can be installed on a fixed pipe, and the other hoop body can be used to fix the remaining movable pipes; or the first hoop body 1 and the second hoop body 2 can be placed in the hoop hole to fix two movable pipes.

[0037] Furthermore, the first hoop body 1 includes a first hoop 11 and a first ear 13 for fixing the first hoop 11. The first ear 13 is fixedly connected to the base plate 3 through a first fixing member 14. The first hoop 11 is annularly formed to form a first hoop hole 12 for accommodating the object to be constrained.

[0038] The second hoop body 2 includes a second hoop 21 and a second ear 23 for fixing the second hoop 21. The second ear 23 is fixedly connected to the base plate 3 through a second fixing member 24. The second hoop 21 is annularly formed to form a second hoop hole 22 for accommodating and tightening the object to be constrained.

[0039] Furthermore, one end of the first hoop body 1 (the starting end of the first hoop loop 11) is integrally formed with the base plate 3, and the other end (the first lug 13) is detachably connected to the base plate 3 via a first fixing member 14. The first lug 13 and the base plate 3 are both provided with corresponding first fixing holes 131, and the first fixing member 14 is installed in the first fixing hole 131 to tighten the first hoop body 1 of the clamp structure.

[0040] One end of the second hoop body 2 (the starting end of the second hoop loop 21) is integrally formed with the base plate 3, and the other end (the second lug 23) is detachably connected to the base plate 3 via a second fixing member 24. The second lug 23 and the base plate 3 are each provided with corresponding second fixing holes 231, and the second fixing member 24 is installed in the second fixing hole 231 to tighten the second hoop body 2 of the clamp structure.

[0041] Alternatively, the starting end of the first hoop body 1 or the second hoop body 2 may be detachably connected to the base plate 3. For example, the detachable connection may be achieved by any one of a snap connection, a threaded connection, and a pin connection.

[0042] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 3 and the hoop body are preferably integrally molded. Specifically, one end of the first hoop body 1 (the starting end of the first hoop loop 11) is integrally molded with the base plate 3, and one end of the second hoop body 2 (the starting end of the second hoop loop 21) is integrally molded with the base plate 3. This integrally molded structural design improves the overall stability and reliability of the clamp structure, allowing it to more stably and securely support the object to be constrained.

[0043] As an embodiment of the present application, a support ear is provided at the end of the hoop, and the support ear is connected to the base plate 3 to achieve the fastening of the object to be constrained.

[0044] Furthermore, the base plate 3, the hoop and the support ear are an integrally formed structure, and the support ear is an extended and bent structure at the end of the hoop.

[0045] Furthermore, the lugs are rectangular in shape and feature rounded corners. This rounded design disperses stress, reducing material fatigue and fracture caused by stress concentration, enhancing the wear resistance of the structural component and extending its service life. It also reduces the risk of injury from sharp edges, improving the safety of the structural component.

[0046] As an embodiment of the present application, the support lug and the base plate 3 are parallel to each other.

[0047] Furthermore, the support lugs and base plate 3 may interfere with each other or have a reserved gap. When there is a reserved gap between the support lugs and base plate 3, a gasket is placed in the reserved gap. When the support lugs and base plate 3 are parallel to each other and interfere with each other, the first tube 4 can be inserted into the first hoop hole 12 and the second tube 5 can be inserted into the second hoop hole 22 before the fixing device is directly installed to secure the object to be constrained.

[0048] The support ears and the base plate 3 are provided with mutually matching fixing holes, and fixing parts are installed in the fixing holes to achieve the fastening of the object to be constrained.

[0049] Furthermore, the fixing member is any one of a bolt, a screw, a buckle, and a clamp, and those skilled in the art can select and design it according to actual needs. Preferably, in this application, a bolt and a nut are used in combination to achieve the fixation of the ear end.

[0050] The clamp structures mentioned in the above embodiments can not only be used to fix the air conditioning pipe structure, but can also be used on cables, pipes or other objects that need to be constrained.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, the above embodiments proposed in the present invention have the following beneficial technical effects:

[0052] Compared with traditional tubular structure connectors, the clamp structure proposed in the utility model includes multiple symmetrical integrated clamp bodies, which are smaller in size and occupy less space, thereby facilitating the fixation of air-conditioning pipes in a small space; at the same time, the integral structural design also makes it difficult for the structural parts to be scattered and lost, thus avoiding waste of materials; during the use of the clamp structure, only one of the multiple clamp bodies needs to be fixed to the fixed pipe, and the other clamp bodies can be used to fix the remaining movable pipes, making the connection and fixing process simpler and more efficient, saving operation time.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes using the above-mentioned technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
