Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts, specifically, it relates to a pipe clamping and snapping structure. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive fuel lines, cooling lines, and brake lines are typically secured to the vehicle body or frame using clamps, cable ties, or brackets. Clamps are widely used due to their high reliability, ease of installation, and low cost. However, existing clamps with matching round holes are prone to breakage at the base of the clip when subjected to torsion, leading to clamp failure and detachment. Furthermore, broken clips may fall into the vehicle's sheet metal housing, becoming impossible to remove and causing abnormal noises during driving, resulting in customer complaints.

[0003] Utility model patent CN203344939U, published on December 18, 2013, discloses a clamp for holding and fixing pipe fittings and an automobile equipped with the clamp. The clamp includes: an elastic member having at least one through hole with an opening so that the pipe fitting passes through the through hole and maintains flexible contact therewith; and a bracket fitted onto the elastic member in an interference fit. However, this clamp for holding and fixing pipe fittings does not solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a pipe clamp structure that avoids root breakage and failure of the clamp body, ensures stable pipe installation, and has high reliability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The pipe clamp and buckle structure includes a pipe clamp body and a buckle body. The buckle body is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pipe clamp body. The pipe clamp body is provided with a slot. The buckle body includes a clamp foot and a base plate. The clamp foot is fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate. The base plate is provided with a limiting structure.

[0007] The limiting structure includes a limiting block, which is fixedly connected to the end of the base plate and is located on both sides of the locking foot.

[0008] A card block is provided above the card slot, and a truncated pyramid is provided at the top of the card foot.

[0009] Both the outer side of the locking foot and the outer side of one end of the base plate are tapered structures, and the outer side of the locking block is provided with a guide surface.

[0010] The card block has a clearance groove on one side.

[0011] The card slots are spaced at equal intervals.

[0012] Both the card slot and the bottom of the card block have an arc-shaped structure.

[0013] The technical advantages of this utility model are as follows: The pipe clamping structure of this utility model uses a limiting block on the base plate to limit the torsional displacement of the clamping foot, reducing the deformation of the clamping foot and preventing it from breaking and causing connection failure. This ensures stable pipe installation and solves the problem of pipe clamps breaking and falling into the vehicle body sheet metal shell, causing abnormal noises during vehicle operation. The structure is simple, the design is reasonable, pipe installation and disassembly are convenient, operation is labor-saving, and the pipe connection is firm and highly reliable.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the pipe clamp buckle structure of this utility model from another perspective.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pipe clamp snap-fit ​​structure includes a pipe clamp body 1 and a snap-fit ​​body 2. The snap-fit ​​body 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pipe clamp body 1. The pipe clamp body 1 has a snap-fit ​​groove 11. The snap-fit ​​body 2 includes snap-fit ​​feet 22 and a base plate 21. The snap-fit ​​feet 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 21, and the base plate 21 has a limiting structure. The snap-fit ​​groove 11 is opened at the upper end of the pipe clamp body 1 for pipe clamping. The snap-fit ​​body 2 is located at the bottom of the pipe clamp body 1 and is integrally injection molded with the pipe clamp body 1, which helps to reduce the number of parts and realize the development of fewer parts. The base plate 21 is located at the bottom of the pipe clamp body 1. It is a rectangular plate structure with a tapered lower end, which serves as a guide during assembly. The snap-fit ​​feet 22 and the base plate 21 are connected at their bottoms. There is a gap between the snap-fit ​​feet 22 and the base plate 21, which gives the snap-fit ​​feet 22 a certain elasticity, that is, the snap-fit ​​feet 22 can be radially retracted, thereby facilitating its installation on the holes of the body sheet metal. The locking feet 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 21, and their bottoms are fixedly connected to the base plate 21, forming an inverted conical structure. They serve as guides during assembly. The upper end of the locking feet 22 is also provided with a frustum 24, which serves to lock the buckle body 2 and prevent it from falling off. A limiting block 23 is also provided on the base plate 21. When the buckle body 2 is subjected to torsion, the limiting block 23 restricts the torsional displacement of the locking feet 22, reduces the deformation of the locking feet 22, and prevents the locking feet 22 from breaking and causing the buckling failure. The structure is simple and has high reliability.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting structure includes limiting blocks 23, which are fixedly connected to the end of the base plate 21 and located on both sides of the clamping foot 22. The limiting blocks 23 are positioned below the pipe clamp body 1, with a total of four blocks 23 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the base plate 21. When the clamping foot 22 is subjected to torsion, it is blocked by the limiting blocks 23 on both sides, thus reducing the torsional displacement of the pipe clamp under torsion and reducing the torsional deformation of the clamping foot 22, thereby preventing the clamping foot 22 from breaking. The outer side of the limiting blocks 23 has an arc-shaped structure for fitting with the holes in the body sheet metal.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a locking block 12 is provided above the locking slot 11, and a truncated pyramid 24 is provided on the top of the locking foot 22. The locking block 12 reduces the installation opening size of the pipe and has a limiting and anti-detachment function for the installed pipe. When the pipe clamp is installed on the body sheet metal along the outer tapered surface of the locking foot 22 and the base plate 21, the truncated pyramid 24 will abut against the inner side of the body sheet metal, thus restricting the locking foot 22 in the axial direction.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer side of the clamping foot 22 and the outer side of one end of the base plate 21 are both tapered structures, and the outer side of the clamping block 12 is provided with a guide surface 14. The tapered outer surfaces of the clamping foot 22 and the base plate 21 guide the installation of the overall structure on the vehicle body sheet metal, and the guide surface 14 guides the installation of pipelines, reducing installation resistance and improving the convenience of operation.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clearance groove 13 is provided on one side of the clamping block 12. The clearance groove 13 gives the clamping block 12 a certain elasticity. During pipeline installation and removal, the clamping block 12 can compress a certain distance into the clearance groove 13 to make way for the pipeline installation and removal process, reduce installation resistance, improve operation convenience, and at the same time prevent damage to the pipeline and pipe clamps due to installation.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slots 11 are evenly spaced. Multiple slots 11 can connect the pipes side by side, and adjacent pipes are separated by slots 11, so they will not contact or interfere with each other in space, which facilitates the management, arrangement and maintenance of pipes and improves work efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, both the slot 11 and the bottom of the block 12 have an arc-shaped structure. This structure improves the clamping and fitting effect on the outer wall of the pipeline, thereby enhancing the stability of the pipeline.

[0026] This pipe clamping structure uses a limiting block 23 on the base plate 21 to limit the clamping foot 22, restricting the torsional displacement of the clamping foot 22, reducing the deformation of the clamping foot 22, and preventing the clamping foot 22 from breaking and causing clamping failure. This ensures the stability of pipe installation and solves the problem of pipe clamps falling into the body sheet metal shell after breaking and causing abnormal noises when driving. The structure is simple, the design is reasonable, the pipe installation and disassembly are convenient, the operation is labor-saving, the pipe clamping is firm, and the reliability is high.

[0027] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
