[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0027] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.

[0028] A locking structure with a spring clip, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, it comprises: a rocker arm support 1, which is located in a rocker arm 2, and has a bushing 3 between the rocker arm 2 and the rocker arm support 1, the rocker arm support 1 comprises a mounting hole 12 and a clamping groove 13, the mounting hole 12 is a blind hole arranged on the rocker arm support 1, and the clamping groove 13 is a groove arranged around the side wall of the mounting hole 12; a T-shaped plug 4, which comprises a plug body 42 and a plurality of elastic pieces 5, the plug body 42 can be installed in the mounting hole 12, the plug body 42 comprises a cylindrical plug body side wall 421 and a bottom plate 423, the plug body side wall 421 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 423, one end of the plug body side wall 421 is connected with the outer edge of the bottom plate 423; the elastic pieces 5 are located on the plug body side wall 421 and can be clamped in the clamping groove 13, the elastic pieces 5 comprise elastic arms 51 and clamping bodies 52, one end of the elastic arm 51 is connected with the plug body side wall 421, the other end is connected with the clamping body 52, the elastic arm 51 has elasticity, the clamping body 52 is sharp-angled, and the sharp end protrudes out of the plug body side wall 421, and the elastic arm 51 can contract inward after the outside of the clamping body 52 is forced.

[0029] Specifically, the clamping groove 13 is a ring-shaped groove arranged around the side wall of the mounting hole 12. The mounting hole 12 is shaped to match the shape of the plug body 42, and the plug body 42 can be in interference fit with the mounting hole 12. The elastic sheet 5 is shaped to match the shape of the clamping groove 13 and can be clamped in the clamping groove 13, realizing the clamping of the T-shaped plug 4 and the rocker arm support 1. The clamping body 52 can be clamped in the clamping groove 13, and the elastic arm 51 provides elastic force for the clamping body 52, which can be bent and reset. When it is bent inward, the clamping body 52 on it is retracted, ensuring that the plug body 42 is smoothly inserted into the mounting hole 12. When it is reset, the elastic sheet 5 returns to its original state, and the clamping body 52 is embedded in the clamping groove 13, completing the clamping. The strength of the elastic arm is determined by the material and size. The plug body 42 is generally made of plastic material. When this material is slightly deformed, as long as the stress does not exceed its yield limit, the deformation can be restored. This is the working principle of the elastic arm. In use, the plug body 42 needs to be installed into the mounting hole 12. Since the clamping body 52 protrudes from the plug side wall 421, and the elastic arm 51 has elasticity, when the plug body 42 enters the mounting hole 12, the clamping body 52 retracts inward when it contacts the side wall of the mounting hole 12, and the elastic arm 51 retracts inward, driving the clamping body 52 to retract inward. The side wall of the mounting hole 12 is provided with a clamping groove 13, which can accommodate the clamping body 52. As the plug body 42 further enters the mounting hole 12, the clamping body 52 moves to a position close to the clamping groove 13, the elastic arm 51 rebounds, and the clamping body 52 is clamped into the clamping groove 13, thereby realizing the clamping of the plug body 42 and the rocker arm support 1. The number of elastic sheets 5 is related to the diameter of the plug body 42.

The radius of the circular hole 411 matches the radius of the plug side wall 421, and the end cover 41 is perpendicular to the plug side wall 421. The inner edge of the circular hole 411 is connected to the other end of the plug side wall 421, and the shape of the bottom surface of the end cover 41 matches the shape of the rocker arm shaft end face 111.

[0031] Specifically, the end cover 41 cooperates with the rocker arm shaft end surface 111.
