Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clip, and more particularly to a corrugated pipe clip. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated pipes are widely used in instruments and meters, and their main application is as protective components for automotive wiring harnesses. When in operation, they elongate along the length of the pipe under internal pressure, causing the moving end to produce a displacement that is related to the pressure. They are often used in parts of wiring harnesses that are subject to a lot of mechanical impact.

[0003] During use, bellows generally need to be positioned using bellows clamps. Conventional bellows clamps are usually fixed to the sheet metal parts of the car with screws. Their position on the sheet metal parts cannot be adjusted, and each screw needs to be unscrewed one by one when disassembling, which makes it impossible to quickly install and remove the bellows clamps from the sheet metal parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problems existing in the prior art of corrugated pipe clamps by providing a corrugated pipe clamp.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A corrugated pipe clamp includes a clamp assembly 1 and a clamp assembly 2, which are connected at one end and can be engaged at the other end. Both clamp assembly 1 and clamp assembly 2 include an arc-shaped clamp body. When clamp assembly 1 and clamp assembly 2 are engaged, a circular locking hole is formed in the middle for engaging with the outside of the corrugated pipe. The other end of clamp assembly 1 is provided with a sheet metal fixing seat. The sheet metal fixing seat is provided with a sheet metal insertion hole. A toggle plate is provided in the sheet metal insertion hole, with one end fixed and the other end suspended and extending out of the sheet metal insertion hole. The toggle plate is provided with a limiting block for limiting the sheet metal part.

[0007] Preferably, the sheet metal part fixing base includes an inner end plate connected to one end of the clamping assembly, an outer end plate arranged parallel to the inner end plate, and two side plates connecting the inner end plate and the outer end plate. The end face of the inner end plate facing the outer end plate is provided with two limiting plates that are parallel to and opposite to the side plates, and the limiting plates form the side wall of the sheet metal part insertion hole. The end of the outer end plate near the insertion end of the sheet metal part insertion hole is provided with an extension plate extending toward the inner end plate. The extension plate is perpendicular to both the limiting plates and the outer end plate. The end of the actuating plate is fixed on the extension plate, and the limiting block is provided on the end face of the actuating plate facing the inner end plate.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end face of the limiting block forms an acute angle with the surface of the extension plate, and the upper end face of the limiting block has three inclined surfaces connected in sequence. The limiting block design allows the snap-fit ​​to be quickly installed on automotive sheet metal parts and also enables quick separation between the snap-fit ​​and the sheet metal parts.

[0009] Preferably, the sheet metal mounting base has a latch with one end fixed and the other end suspended near the protruding end of the sheet metal insertion hole. The latch has an L-shaped groove, and the other end of the clip assembly two has a buckle that can engage with the L-shaped groove. The engagement and buckle configuration enables quick engagement and quick unlocking between clip assembly one and clip assembly two.

[0010] Preferably, both clip assembly one and clip assembly two have arc-shaped limiting pieces on the inner sidewalls of their clip bodies. The arc-shaped limiting pieces make the clips more stable in engaging the bellows.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the first clip assembly and the second clip assembly are connected by an elastic connecting piece. The elastic connecting piece facilitates the relative rotation between the first clip assembly and the second clip assembly, thereby enabling their separation and engagement.

[0012] Preferably, clip assembly one and clip assembly two are integrally formed with the sheet metal fixing base and are all plastic parts.

[0013] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects:

[0014] This utility model allows for installation on sheet metal parts by setting sheet metal part insertion holes.

[0016] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A diagram illustrating the usage status.

[0017] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial sectional view. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] The corrugated pipe clamp includes a clamp assembly 1 and a clamp assembly 2, which are connected at one end and can be engaged at the other end. In this embodiment, the connecting ends of the clamp assembly 1 and the clamp assembly 2 are connected by an elastic connecting piece 203, which can be a rubber sheet or a plastic sheet that can be elastically deformed. This allows the clamp assembly 1 and the clamp assembly 2 to rotate around the connection point, thereby opening or engaging the two components.

[0021] Both clamp assembly 1 and clamp assembly 2 include an arc-shaped clamp body 3. When clamp assembly 1 and clamp assembly 2 are engaged, a circular locking hole 4 is formed in the middle for engaging with the outside of the corrugated pipe. The inner sidewall of the clamp body 3 of clamp assembly 1 and clamp assembly 2 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting piece 202, that is, the arc-shaped limiting piece 202 is located on the inner sidewall of the circular locking hole 4. When engaging the corrugated pipe, the arc-shaped limiting piece 202 can be engaged at the trough of the corrugated pipe, thereby making the engagement of the entire clamp on the corrugated pipe more stable and ensuring that the corrugated pipe will not move axially, so as to achieve a better positioning effect for the corrugated pipe.

[0022] The other end of the clip assembly 1 is provided with a sheet metal fixing seat 5. In this embodiment, the clip assembly 1, the clip assembly 2, and the sheet metal fixing seat 5 are integrally formed and are all plastic parts.

[0023] The sheet metal part fixing base 5 is provided with a sheet metal part insertion hole 6. The sheet metal part insertion hole 6 is provided with a toggle plate 7, which is fixed at one end and suspended at the other end and extends out of the sheet metal part insertion hole 6. The toggle plate 7 is provided with a limit block 8 for limiting the sheet metal part.

[0024] During use, the sheet metal part is inserted and protrudes through the sheet metal part insertion hole 6. The limiting part and the inserted sheet metal part are mutually limited by the limiting part, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the clip on the automotive sheet metal part.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the limiting block 8 forms an acute angle with the surface of the extension plate 505, and the upper end face of the limiting block 8 is provided with three inclined surfaces 506 connected in sequence. The inclined surfaces 506 can guide the sheet metal part to be inserted into the sheet metal part insertion hole 6. During installation, the clip is installed on the sheet metal part with a snap-fit ​​hole or snap-fit ​​plate. During the insertion of the sheet metal part, the actuating plate 7 is pressed and deformed so that the snap-fit ​​part of the sheet metal part passes through the limiting block 8. After passing through, the actuating plate 7 returns to engage the sheet metal part, realizing the positioning of the clip on the sheet metal part. Alternatively, the elastic force provided by the deformed actuating plate 7 can be used to make the limiting block 8 press against the sheet metal part passing through the sheet metal part insertion hole 6 to realize the positioning of the clip on the sheet metal part. During disassembly, it is only necessary to move the actuating plate to deform it to release the limiting block 8 from the sheet metal part, realizing the quick separation of the clip from the sheet metal part.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sheet metal fixing base 5 is integrally injection molded, which includes an inner end plate 501 connected to the end of the clamping assembly 1, an outer end plate 502 arranged parallel to the inner end plate 501, and two side plates 503 connecting the inner end plate 501 and the outer end plate 502. The end face of the inner end plate 501 facing the outer end plate 502 is provided with two limiting plates 504 that are parallel to and opposite to the side plates 503. The limiting plates 504 form the side wall of the sheet metal insertion hole 6. The end of the outer end plate 502 near the insertion end of the sheet metal insertion hole 6 is provided with an extension plate 505 extending toward the inner end plate 501. The extension plate 505 is perpendicular to both the limiting plates 504 and the outer end plate 502. The end of the actuating plate 7 is fixed on the extension plate 505, and the limiting block 8 is provided on the end face of the actuating plate 7 facing the inner end plate 501.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sheet metal fixing base 5 is provided with a latch 507 near the protruding end of the sheet metal insertion hole 6, which is fixed at one end and suspended at the other end. The latch 507 is provided with an L-shaped slot 508. The other end of the clamping assembly 2 is provided with a buckle 201 that can be inserted into the L-shaped slot 508. The clamping assembly 1 and the clamping assembly 2 are engaged through the cooperation of the slot and the buckle 201. When disassembly is required, the latch 507 is deformed by external force, and disengages from the buckle 201, thereby separating the clamping assembly 1 and the clamping assembly 2.

[0028] It is readily understood that those skilled in the art can combine, split, or reorganize the embodiments provided in this application to obtain other embodiments, none of which exceed the protection scope of this application.

[0029] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
