[0033] The combined cable tie 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a combination cable tie 1 is provided, comprising a cable tie 100 and a pipe clamp 200. The cable tie 100 is adapted to wrap around a wiring harness 10, and a slot 111 is formed on the outer circumference of the cable tie 100. A first plug 210 protruding radially outward is formed on the outer circumference of the pipe clamp 200. The pipe clamp 200 is inserted into the slot 111 via the first plug 210. The pipe clamp 200 is adapted to wrap around a fuel pipe 20, and a mounting opening 201 is formed on one side of the pipe clamp 200, adapted to extend into the fuel pipe 20.

[0035] For example, the cable tie 100 and the pipe clamp 200 are detachably mounted by engaging the slot 111 and the first plug 210. The cable tie 1 can be used alone to bundle the fuel pipe 20 and clamp the wiring harness 10, or it can be installed in conjunction with the brackets for the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10. The fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 can be at the same horizontal position and both located on the inner side of the frame rail. Figure 1 For example, the diameter of the fuel pipe 20 is smaller than the diameter of the wiring harness 10. The distance between the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 is 500 mm, and the cable tie 100 and the pipe clamp 200 maintain a suitable distance.

[0036] According to the combined cable tie 1 of the present embodiment, by combining the cable tie 100 and the pipe clamp 200 to form an integrated structure, one side of the cable tie 100 can be used to position the fuel pipe 20, and one side of the pipe clamp 200 can be used to position the wiring harness 10. The two sides of the combined cable tie 1 respectively position and position the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10, forming a pre-installed positioning for the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10, facilitating subsequent installation of the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10. The combined cable tie 1 is positioned between the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10, and the first plug 210 extends toward the slot 111, radially separating the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 to prevent wear between the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10. In addition, the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 do not need to be installed on different brackets respectively. The fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 can be installed as a whole, and only the cable tie 100 and the pipe clamp 200 assembly are needed to limit the position. This not only improves the installation efficiency of the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10, but also reduces the number of brackets, reduces weight, and reduces the occupied space.

[0037] Therefore, the combined cable tie 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of reducing weight, preventing wear, and occupying a small space.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the cable tie 100 is configured with a columnar protrusion 130 protruding radially outward, and a slot 111 is formed at the center of the columnar protrusion 130 .

[0039] By extending cylindrical protrusion 130 a certain distance outward, a distance can be set between fuel pipe 20 and wiring harness 10. Furthermore, cylindrical protrusion 130 and the first limiting post are both cylindrical in shape. Cylindrical protrusion 130 surrounds the outer circumference of first plug 210, providing high stability between first plug 210 and slot 111.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the inner circumference of the slot 111 is configured with an annular retaining edge (not shown in the figure), and the outer circumference of the first plug 210 is configured with a locking portion 211. The first plug 210 extends into the slot 111 and the locking portion 211 is locked to the annular retaining edge.

[0041] At least one of the engaging portion 211 and the annular retaining edge is elastic, and the first plug 210 is engaged with the slot 111 by engaging the engaging portion 211, while the annular retaining edge abuts against the outside of the engaging portion 211. The engagement between the engaging portion 211 and the annular retaining edge prevents the first plug 210 from being separated from the slot 111, effectively ensuring a secure assembly while maintaining detachability.

[0042] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second plug 220 is configured on the outer circumference of the pipe clamp 200 and protrudes toward the cable tie 100 . The second plug 220 and the first plug 210 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the pipe clamp 200 .

[0043] The structure of the second plug 220 is identical to that of the first plug 210. By placing the first and second plugs 210 and 220 at different circumferential locations on the pipe clamp 200, different installation requirements can be accommodated. Simply by rotating the pipe clamp 200 a certain angle, the mounting opening 201 can be positioned toward the appropriate installation position, facilitating installation of the fuel pipe 20 into the clamp.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the central axis of the first plug 210 and the central axis of the second plug 220 are perpendicular to each other. This allows the first and second plugs 210, 220 to be positioned 90° apart from the mounting opening 201 when connected to the slot 111, facilitating the determination of the fuel pipe 20's installation position and ensuring a more precise installation position. Furthermore, because the central axes of the first and second plugs 210, 220 are perpendicular to each other, when one of the first and second plugs 210, 220 is connected to the slot 111 of the cable tie 100, the other will deviate to a different position, preventing interference with the installation of the cable tie 10. Furthermore, the appropriate offset angle between the first and second plugs 210, 220 allows the fuel pipe 20 to be accurately positioned by rotating the pipe clamp 200 to different positions.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting opening 201 and the second plug 220 are respectively located on two radially opposite sides of the pipe clamp 200 .

[0046] For example, when the first plug 210 is inserted into the slot 111, the mounting opening 201 faces downward, and the lower portion of the fuel pipe 20 can be supported by a bracket, preventing the fuel pipe 20 from detaching from the pipe clamp 200 through the lower mounting opening 201. When the second plug 210 is inserted into the slot 111, the mounting opening 201 faces inwardly of the vehicle frame, meeting the different assembly positions of the fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the inner circumference of the pipe clamp 200 is configured with ridges 230 protruding radially inward. The ridges 230 are arranged along the circumference of the pipe clamp 200 . The ridges 230 are suitable for clamping the outer circumference of the fuel pipe 20 .

[0048] For example, the cross-section of the spine 230 is trapezoidal or triangular, with the width of the spine 230 gradually decreasing toward the center of the pipe clamp 200. The spine 230 is an elastic member with a certain degree of elastic deformation. The spine 230 forms an interference fit with the fuel pipe 20, exerting a certain elastic force on the fuel pipe 20 to secure it. Furthermore, the deformation of the spine 230 allows it to accommodate fuel pipes 20 of varying diameters within a certain size range.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the pipe clamp 200 is configured with a clamping edge 240 extending outward at the installation opening 201 . The clamping edge 240 is suitable for guiding the fuel pipe 20 to extend into the installation opening 201 .

[0050] Specifically, the width of the clamp edge 240 gradually increases toward the outside of the pipe clamp 200, thereby guiding the fuel pipe 20 to be installed into the pipe clamp 200. In addition, the clamp edge 240 has a certain elastic force, and through the deformation of the clamp edge 240, it ensures that the fuel pipe 20 remains locked and fixed after being installed into the pipe clamp 200.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the cable tie 100 includes a buckle 110 and a binding section 120. The buckle 110 is located at one end of the cable tie 100. The binding section 120 is connected to the buckle 110 and has its other end inserted through the buckle 110. A slot 111 is located at the end of the binding section 120 adjacent to the buckle 110 for mounting a pipe clamp 200.

[0052] By forming a slot 111 near the end of the cable tie buckle 110, the cable tie 100 can be formed into a smaller loop when bundled, accommodating the installation of wire harnesses 10 of varying diameters. The slot 111 and the cable tie buckle 110 do not interfere with each other, and the excess bundling section 120 can be trimmed, resulting in a more neatly bundled cable tie 100. Furthermore, the cable tie 100 has a smaller degree of bending near the cable tie buckle 110, ensuring the relative positioning of the fuel pipe 20 and the wire harness 10 is fixed, further aligning the routing of the fuel pipe 20 and the wire harness 10.

[0054] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a fuel pipe 20 and a wiring harness 10 , and the combined cable tie 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention. The fuel pipe 20 and the wiring harness 10 are both mounted on the combined cable tie 1 .

[0055] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of reducing weight, preventing wear and tear, and occupying less space by using the combined cable tie 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.
