Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of metal processing, and in particular to a metal hook for wire harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] A hook is a device used to suspend or connect objects. Most hooks on the market are open and not closed. When the suspended object is blown by the wind or touched, it is easy to fall off the hook. For hooks used to suspend power lines, if the power line falls, it may even cause an accident.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202320114387.8 discloses an anti-detachment hook, which mainly consists of a base and a hook. One side of the base is a hook made of a flat strip of metal bent into shape, and the other side is provided with double-sided adhesive. The hook relies on the bending elasticity of the metal itself to press the bent end tightly onto the base, forming a closed ring structure.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned hook design has the following problems during use:

[0005] The aforementioned hook suspends an object within a closed ring structure by bending the metal itself and pressing the bent end against the base. However, since the bent metal hook is not fixed to the base, it deforms when subjected to external force, creating a gap between the hook and the base. This allows the suspended object to detach from the gap, indicating an unstable connection between the hook and the base. Furthermore, the metal hook deforms as a whole under stress, resulting in inconsistent cross-sections of the closed cavity structure formed after each bend. Consequently, the deformation of the metal hook is difficult to control, leading to inconsistent areas of suspended objects that can be accommodated after each bend.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hook that has high connection stability and whose deformation is easy to control. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a metal hook for wire harnesses with high connection stability and easy control of deformation.

[0008] The purpose of this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] A metal hook for wire harnesses, comprising:

[0010] A metal base for mounting on the external building structure;

[0011] A limiting post, which is mounted on the metal base;

[0012] A metal bending component includes a connecting part, a bending part, and a snap-fit ​​part connected in sequence. The end of the connecting part away from the bending part is fixedly connected to a metal base. An electrical wire harness receiving space is formed between the connecting part, the bending part, the snap-fit ​​part, and the metal base. The snap-fit ​​part has a snap-fit ​​hole. The thickness of the connecting part is greater than the thickness of the bending part. A limiting post is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​hole after the bending part is bent.

[0013] In one embodiment, the metal base and the metal bending member are integrally stamped structures.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the limiting post is conical.

[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting post is a silicone limiting post, and the silicone limiting post is in interference fit with the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the silicone positioning post is bonded to the metal base.

[0017] In one embodiment, the limiting post is a metal limiting post, and the metal limiting post and the metal base are integrally stamped and formed.

[0018] In one embodiment, the thickness of the connecting portion is 3mm-4mm.

[0019] In one embodiment, the thickness of the bent portion is 1mm-2mm.

[0020] In one embodiment, the thickness of the snap-fit ​​portion is the same as the thickness of the bend portion, and the length of the snap-fit ​​portion is less than the length of the bend portion.

[0021] In one embodiment, the metal base has a connection hole for the positioning post to pass through.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The aforementioned metal hook for wire harnesses has a limiting post installed on a metal base. The connecting part, bending part, and snap-fit ​​part are connected in sequence. The end of the connecting part away from the bending part is fixedly connected to the metal base. The snap-fit ​​part has a snap-fit ​​hole. When the bending part is bent under force, the limiting post passes through the snap-fit ​​hole, so that the snap-fit ​​part snaps with the limiting post. This ensures that when the metal bent part collides, the snap-fit ​​part will not form a gap with the metal base, thereby making the connection stability between the metal bent part and the metal base higher.

[0024] 2. The metal hooks used for wire harnesses described above have one end of the connecting part fixedly connected to the metal base, and the other end of the connecting part connected to the bending part. The thickness of the connecting part is greater than the thickness of the bending part, that is, the structural strength of the connecting part is higher than that of the bending part. When subjected to external force, the bending part deforms, which makes the deformation of the hook bending more controllable, so as to ensure that the closed cavity cross section formed after each bending of the metal hook is consistent.

[0025] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this disclosure and should not be regarded as a limitation of the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows another structural schematic of a metal hook for a wire harness. Detailed Implementation

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this disclosure, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. However, this disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] This disclosure provides a metal hook for wire harnesses, including a metal base, a limiting post, and a metal bending member. The metal base is for installation on an external building structure, the limiting post is installed on the metal base, and the metal bending member includes a connecting part, a bending part, and a snap-fit ​​part connected in sequence. The end of the connecting part away from the bending part is fixedly connected to the metal base. A wire harness receiving space is formed between the connecting part, the bending part, the snap-fit ​​part, and the metal base. The snap-fit ​​part has a snap-fit ​​hole, the thickness of the connecting part is greater than the thickness of the bending part, and the limiting post is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​hole after the bending part is bent.

[0032] The aforementioned metal hook for wire harnesses has a limiting post mounted on a metal base. The connecting part, bending part, and snap-fit ​​part are connected sequentially. The end of the connecting part away from the bending part is fixedly connected to the metal base. The snap-fit ​​part has a snap-fit ​​hole. When the bending part is bent under force, the limiting post passes through the snap-fit ​​hole, causing the snap-fit ​​part to snap into the limiting post. This prevents the snap-fit ​​part from forming a gap with the metal base when the bent metal part collides, thus improving the connection stability between the bent metal part and the metal base. Since one end of the connecting part is fixedly connected to the metal base and the other end is connected to the bending part, and the thickness of the connecting part is greater than that of the bending part, the structural strength of the connecting part is higher than that of the bending part. When subjected to external pressure, the bending part deforms, which makes it easier to control the deformation of the hook bending, ensuring that the closed cavity cross-section formed after each bend of the metal hook is consistent.

[0033] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a metal hook 10 for wire harnesses in one embodiment includes a metal base 100, a limiting post 200, and a metal bending member 300. The metal base 100 is used for installation on an external building structure. The limiting post 200 is installed on the metal base 100. The metal bending member 300 includes a connecting part 310, a bending part 320, and a snap-fit ​​part 330 connected in sequence. One end of the connecting part 310 away from the bending part 320 is fixedly connected to the metal base 100. A wire harness receiving space is formed between the connecting part 310, the bending part 320, the snap-fit ​​part 330, and the metal base 100. The snap-fit ​​part 330 has a snap-fit ​​hole 331. The thickness of the connecting part 310 is greater than the thickness of the bending part 320. The limiting post 200 abuts against the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 331 after the bending part 320 is bent.

[0035] In this embodiment, the back of the metal base 100 is provided with an adhesive layer for bonding to the external building body. The limiting post 200 is installed on the front of the metal base 100. The connecting part 310, the bending part 320 and the snap-fit ​​part 330 of the metal bending part 300 are connected in sequence. The bottom of the connecting part 310 is connected to the metal base 100, and the snap-fit ​​part 330 has a snap-fit ​​hole 331. When the bending part 320 is bent by external force, the snap-fit ​​hole 331 is positioned opposite to the limiting post 200 so that the limiting post 200 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 331. At this time, a wire harness receiving space is formed between the connecting part 310, the bending part 320, the snap-fit ​​part 330 and the metal base 100 to receive the wire harness in the receiving space, and at the same time, the snap-fit ​​part 330 is fixed to the metal base 100 to prevent the snap-fit ​​part 330 from forming a gap with the metal base 100 when the metal bending part 300 is subjected to external force. Furthermore, the thickness of the connecting part 310 is greater than that of the bending part 320, which makes the structural strength of the connecting part 310 greater than that of the bending part 320. When the user applies external force, he / she usually presses the bending part 320. Thus, when the metal bending part 300 is subjected to the same external force, the bending part 320 deforms first, making the deformation of the metal bending part 300 easier to control.

[0036] The aforementioned metal hook 10 for wire harnesses has a limiting post 200 mounted on a metal base 100. A connecting part 310, a bending part 320, and a snap-fit ​​part 330 are sequentially connected. The end of the connecting part 310 away from the bending part 320 is fixedly connected to the metal base 100. The snap-fit ​​part 330 has a snap-fit ​​hole 331. When the bending part 320 is bent under force, the limiting post 200 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 331, causing the snap-fit ​​part 330 to snap into the limiting post 200. This prevents the snap-fit ​​part 330 from contacting the metal base 100 during a collision. The gap formed by the 0 makes the connection between the metal bent part 300 and the metal base 100 more stable. Since one end of the connecting part 310 is fixedly connected to the metal base 100 and the other end of the connecting part 310 is connected to the bent part 320, and the thickness of the connecting part 310 is greater than the thickness of the bent part 320, that is, the structural strength of the connecting part 310 is higher than that of the bent part 320. When subjected to external force, the bent part 320 deforms, which makes the deformation of the hook bending better controllable, so as to ensure that the closed cavity cross section formed by the metal hook 10 after each bend is consistent.

[0037] In one embodiment, the metal base and the metal bending member are integrally stamped. In this embodiment, the integral stamping of the metal base and the metal bending member results in higher structural strength and a more compact structure.

[0038] In one embodiment, the limiting post has a conical cross-section. It is understood that the conical cross-section of the limiting post, meaning the overall structure of the limiting post is conical, makes it easier for the limiting post to enter the locking hole.

[0039] In one embodiment, the limiting post is a silicone limiting post, which is press-fitted against the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole. In this embodiment, the limiting post is made of silicone, meaning it has elastic deformation capabilities, allowing the silicone limiting post to press-fit against the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0040] In one embodiment, the silicone positioning post is bonded to the metal base. In this embodiment, the silicone positioning post is bonded to the metal base by an adhesive layer, thereby fixing the silicone positioning post to the metal base.

[0041] In one embodiment, the limiting post is a metal limiting post, and the metal limiting post and the metal base are integrally stamped. In this embodiment, the limiting post is a metal limiting post, which is integrally stamped with the metal base and fixed by snap-fitting with a metal bending component.

[0042] In one embodiment, the thickness of the connecting portion is 3mm-4mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the connecting portion is 4mm to ensure high structural strength.

[0043] In one embodiment, the thickness of the bent portion is 1mm-2mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the bent portion is 2mm, so that the structural strength of the bent portion is less than the structural strength of the connecting portion.

[0044] In one embodiment, the thickness of the snap-fit ​​portion is the same as the thickness of the bent portion, and the length of the snap-fit ​​portion is less than the length of the bent portion. In this embodiment, the thickness of the snap-fit ​​portion is the same as the thickness of the bent portion, and the length of the snap-fit ​​portion is less than the length of the bent portion. This makes the structural strength of the snap-fit ​​portion greater than the structural strength of the bent portion, thereby causing the bent portion to bend when subjected to external force.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the metal base 100 has a connecting hole 110 for the positioning column to pass through. In this embodiment, there are two connecting holes 110, which are used for the external building main positioning column to pass through, so as to make the metal base 100 more securely fixed.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0047] 1. The aforementioned metal hook 10 for wire harnesses has a limiting post 200 installed on a metal base 100. The connecting part 310, the bending part 320, and the snap-fit ​​part 330 are connected in sequence. The end of the connecting part 310 away from the bending part 320 is fixedly connected to the metal base 100. The snap-fit ​​part 330 has a snap-fit ​​hole 331. When the bending part 320 is bent under force, the limiting post 200 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 331, so that the snap-fit ​​part 330 snaps with the limiting post 200. In this way, when the metal bent part 300 collides, the snap-fit ​​part 330 will not form a gap with the metal base 100, thereby making the connection stability between the metal bent part 300 and the metal base 100 higher.

[0048] 2. In the metal hook 10 for wire harness described above, one end of the connecting part 310 is fixedly connected to the metal base 100, and the other end of the connecting part 310 is connected to the bending part 320. The thickness of the connecting part 310 is greater than the thickness of the bending part 320, that is, the structural strength of the connecting part 310 is higher than that of the bending part 320. When subjected to external force, the bending part 320 deforms, thereby making the deformation of the hook bending more controllable, so as to ensure that the closed cavity cross section formed by the metal hook 10 for wire harness after each bend is consistent.

[0049] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
