[0034] This utility model provides an automobile, including a vehicle body and pipe clamps, with the pipe clamps fixed to the vehicle body. The pipe clamps can be used to fix pipes and wiring harnesses such as brake rigid pipes, high-voltage wiring harnesses, and cooling rigid pipes to the vehicle body.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipe clamp of this utility model includes a body 1. In one example, the body 1 is provided with a plurality of first clamping parts 11 and a plurality of second clamping parts 12. Each of the plurality of first clamping parts 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 111 and a first opening 112 communicating with the first mounting hole 111. Each of the plurality of second clamping parts 12 is provided with a second mounting hole 121 and a second opening 122 communicating with the second mounting hole 121. The plurality of first clamping parts 11 are arranged along the length direction of the body 1, and the plurality of second clamping parts 12 are arranged along the height direction of the body 1, thereby saving installation space in the length direction of the body 1. Pipes or wire harnesses can be inserted into the first mounting holes 111 and the second mounting holes 121 through the first openings 112 and the second openings 122, and pipes or wire harnesses can be placed or removed through the first openings 112 and the second openings 122, thereby facilitating installation.

[0036] Optionally, the body 1 is further provided with a plurality of third clamping portions 13, which are located on the side of the plurality of first clamping portions 11 away from the plurality of second clamping portions 12, and are arranged along the length direction of the body 1. Each of the plurality of third clamping portions 13 is provided with a third mounting hole 131 and a third opening 132 communicating with the third mounting hole 131. Optionally, the first opening 112 is located on a first side in the height direction of the body 1, and the third opening 132 is located on a second side in the height direction of the body 1, with the first side and the second side opposite to each other. It is understood that the positions of the first clamping portions 11, the second clamping portions 12, and the third clamping portions 13 can be interchanged depending on the routing of pipes and wiring harnesses in different vehicle models. In addition, in some other examples, part of the body 1 is "L"-shaped, which allows the mounting holes on different clamping portions to be arranged in different directions, so as to minimize the length of the pipe clamp while keeping the number of clamping portions the same.

[0037] In one example, the axes of the first mounting hole 111, the second mounting hole 121, and the third mounting hole 131 are parallel to each other, thereby preventing interference between the cooling rigid pipe, the braking rigid pipe, and the high-voltage wiring harness. Optionally, the axes of the aforementioned mounting holes are all parallel to the width direction of the body 1. The cross-section of the mounting hole is preferably arc-shaped, and the arc angle is not less than 180°, thereby increasing the contact area between the inner wall of the mounting hole and the pipe or wiring harness, which is beneficial for more securely clamping the pipe and wiring harness.

[0038] In some examples, a spacer 4 is provided between adjacent first clamping portions 11 to separate the two first clamping portions 11 and prevent squeezing and friction between pipes or wire harnesses. The aforementioned first opening 112 is formed between the spacer 4 and the sidewall of the opposite first clamping portion 11. An elastic stop plate 2 is provided on one side of the first opening 112, and a guide surface 41 is formed on the other side. The stop plate 2 is an elastic arm extending inclinedly from the sidewall of the first clamping portion 11 into the first mounting hole 111. The guide surface 41 is a sloped surface formed on the spacer 4 and extending inclinedly into the first mounting hole 111. The distance between the guide surface 41 and the stop plate 2 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the interior of the corresponding first mounting hole 111. The stop plate 2, in conjunction with the guide surface 41, makes it easier for the cooling rigid pipe to be inserted into the first mounting hole 111, thus facilitating installation.

[0039] A partition 123 is provided between adjacent second clamping parts 12. The partition 123 and the side wall of the second clamping part 12 opposite to it form the aforementioned second opening 122. Two elastic stop plates 2 are provided on two opposite sides of the second opening 122. The distance between the two stop plates 2 on both sides of each second opening 122 gradually decreases in the direction close to the interior of the corresponding second mounting hole 121. When installing the brake hard tube, it makes it easier for the brake hard tube to be inserted into the second mounting hole 121, which facilitates installation.

[0040] Optionally, the stop plate 2 is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as plastic or metal. During installation, after the pipeline is pressed into the corresponding mounting hole along the surface of the stop plate 2, the elastic potential energy accumulated by the deformation of the stop plate 2 drives it to return to its initial position. By cooperating with the spacer 4 or by two stop plates 2 working together, the pipeline can be prevented from coming out of the corresponding mounting hole, thereby improving reliability. Optionally, the thickness of the stop plate 2 gradually decreases along the direction away from the interior of the mounting hole, making the part of the stop plate 2 near the first opening 112 and the second opening 122 easier to bend when compressed.

[0041] In some examples, the third clamping part 13 is provided with a cover plate 3. One end of the cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to the body 1, and the other end of the cover plate 3 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 32. The first snap-fit ​​part 32 can cooperate with the second snap-fit ​​part 133 on the body 1 to hold the cover plate 3 in a position that closes the third opening 132. Optionally, the surface of the cover plate 3 near the third mounting hole 131 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 311. For high-density and heavy wire harnesses such as high-voltage wire harnesses, by making the wire harness mounting hole completely surrounded by the wall of the groove 311 of the cover plate 3 and the inner wall of the third mounting hole 131, it can be ensured that the wire harness is securely installed in the third mounting hole 131.

[0042] In one example, the cover plate 3 is integrally formed with the body 1. A connecting plate 31 is provided at the end of the cover plate 3 opposite to the first snap-fit ​​portion 32. The cover plate 3 is elastically connected to the portion of the body 1 near the third opening 132 via the connecting plate 31. By elastically connecting one end of the cover plate 3 to the body 1 and snap-fitting the other end to the body 1, installation efficiency can be improved. It is understood that the cover plate 3 can also be connected to the body 1 via fasteners, snap-fitting, hinges, etc. In embodiments where the cover plate 3 is connected to the body 1 via fasteners, snap-fitting, or hinges, the cover plate 3 and the body 1 are two independent components. The cover plate 3 can be installed onto the body 1 via fasteners, snap-fitting, or hinges.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 In one example, the connecting plate 31 has grooves 311 on two opposite sides, and the projection of the connecting plate 31 along the width direction of the body 1 is corrugated. Specifically, the connecting plate 31 has a plurality of uniformly distributed grooves 311 recessed on its surface near and away from the third mounting hole 131. When the cover plate 3 rotates relative to the body 1, the connecting plate 31 bends or straightens accordingly. The grooves 311 help to avoid stress concentration, improve flexibility, reduce the risk of cracking of the connecting plate 31 due to repeated bending, and extend the service life of the pipe clamp.

[0044] In some embodiments, one of the vehicle body and the main body 1 is provided with a fixing hole 5, and the other is provided with a fixing member. The fixing member passes through the fixing hole 5 to fix the pipe clamp to other components. In one example, the fixing member is a stud, which is fixed to the vehicle body. The fixing hole 5 is opened on the main body 1. Optionally, the fixing hole 5 is opened on the spacer 4, and the axial direction of the fixing hole 5 is parallel to the height direction of the main body 1. Preferably, there is only one fixing hole 5, thereby reducing installation requirements and facilitating installation.

[0045] In one example, the inner wall of the fixing hole 5 is evenly distributed and spaced with several limiting teeth 51 along its axial direction. The limiting teeth 51 are engaged with the threaded groove of the stud to fix the pipe clamp to the vehicle body, which further facilitates installation and improves installation efficiency.

[0046] In another example, the pipe clamp also includes a nut. When the weight of pipes such as brake rigid pipes and cooling rigid pipes is large, or when the connection fails due to damage to the limiting tooth 51, the pipe clamp can be fixed by the nut and the stud, which can save costs. Optionally, the body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 52 for accommodating the nut. The mounting groove 52 communicates with the fixing hole 5. By placing the nut in the mounting groove 52, space can be saved.

[0047] Please see Figure 4Optionally, the body 1 has a plurality of weight-reducing grooves 14 along its width direction. The weight-reducing grooves 14 can be through grooves or blind grooves. In some examples, the body 1 is recessed from its two opposite faces along its width direction to form two oppositely arranged weight-reducing grooves 14, and a reinforcing rib 15 is formed between the two weight-reducing grooves 14, thereby reducing weight, reducing material usage, and achieving lightweighting while meeting the strength requirements of the pipe clamp.

[0048] Optionally, a reinforcing rib 15 is also provided between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12, and a reinforcing rib 15 is provided on the cover plate 3 of the third clamping part 13 and the second snap-fit ​​part 133, thereby improving the overall strength of the pipe clamp.

[0049] The pipe clamp of this utility model can fix cooling hard pipes, braking hard pipes and high-voltage wire harnesses by setting the first clamping part 11, the second clamping part 12 and the third clamping part 13. The installation space in the length direction of the body 1 can be saved by the plurality of second clamping parts 12 arranged along the height direction of the body 1. The stop plate 2 and the cover plate 3 can prevent the pipes and wire harnesses from coming out.

[0050] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
