[0002] The flanged tube fork is a key component widely used in automotive transmission systems, primarily for connecting and transmitting power. It connects the driveshaft to the gearbox or drive axle via a cross-lock mechanism, effectively transmitting engine power and adapting to changes in angle during vehicle operation, ensuring smooth and reliable transmission. The flanged tube fork design allows the driveshaft to be adjusted within a certain angle range. This flexibility is particularly useful when encountering bumps or turns during driving, effectively reducing vibration and noise and improving driving comfort. Furthermore, the angled transmission design of the flanged tube fork allows the driveshaft to transmit power at a specific angle without occupying excessive interior space. This design not only optimizes the vehicle chassis layout but also provides more possibilities for utilizing interior space, especially expanding rear seat space, allowing passengers to enjoy a more spacious riding experience. In summary, the flanged tube fork plays a crucial role in automotive transmission systems, ensuring transmission efficiency and stability, and optimizing interior space layout through its unique design, thus enhancing the overall practicality and comfort of the vehicle.

[0003] The existing flange pipe fork is inconvenient to connect and fix two flange structures, usually requiring complex procedures such as welding, which makes the installation process time-consuming and labor-intensive, and therefore needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the ease of installation of flange pipe forks, this application provides a flange pipe fork with easy installation.

[0005] The flange pipe fork with convenient installation provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A flange pipe fork with easy installation includes a first bracket and a second bracket, which are movably connected. A connecting block is provided on the side of the first bracket near the second bracket, and the connecting block is movably connected to the second bracket. A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided on the side of the connecting block near the first bracket, and the first bracket is detachably connected to the connecting block through the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second brackets of the flange pipe fork are movably connected, and the connection and disassembly are achieved through the connecting block and snap-fit ​​assembly set on the first bracket. This design significantly improves the ease of installation of the flange pipe fork, reduces the need for complex processes such as traditional welding, thereby simplifying the installation process and saving time and labor costs. At the same time, the detachable design also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement, further enhancing ease of use.

[0008] Preferably, the latching assembly includes a plurality of elastic rods and a plurality of latching blocks. A latching groove is formed at one end of the connecting block near the first card holder. One end of each elastic rod is connected to the bottom of the latching groove, and the other end is connected to the latching block. Each elastic rod corresponds to one latching block. One end of the latching block is flush with the side wall of the elastic rod, and the other end protrudes from the elastic rod. A through hole is formed on the side wall of the first card holder near the connecting block for the latching block to pass through. The side wall of the latching block near the elastic rod and protruding from the elastic rod can be abutted against the side wall of the first card holder away from the connecting block. A guide surface is provided on the side of the latching block that abuts against the first card holder and is away from the connecting block. The guide surface guides the latching block through the through hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when installation is required, simply align the snap-fit ​​block with the through hole and guide it through using the guide surface. The snap-fit ​​block will automatically reset and fit against the side wall of the first bracket away from the connecting block, completing the limiting action. The elastic rod and snap-fit ​​block design of the snap-fit ​​assembly enable quick assembly and disassembly between the first bracket and the connecting block, greatly improving the ease of flange pipe fork installation. It avoids complex processes such as traditional welding, significantly reducing installation time and labor intensity, and improving work efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the first card holder is provided with a locking member, which is used to lock the buckle block that is in contact with the side wall of the first card holder away from the connecting block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking component locks the snap-fit ​​block that is attached to the side wall of the first bracket away from the connecting block. The locking component effectively prevents the snap-fit ​​block from detaching from the first bracket due to external vibration or impact during use, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the flange pipe fork connection. This enhances the locking effect of the snap-fit ​​assembly and improves the vibration resistance and service life of the entire device.

[0012] Preferably, the locking component includes a locking cover, and a limiting annular groove is formed on the side of the locking cover near the connecting block, and several of the buckle blocks can be inserted into the limiting annular groove; a connecting hole is formed in the center of the locking cover, and the end of the first card holder away from the second card holder passes through the connecting hole, and the locking cover is threadedly connected to the first card holder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the locking cover and the first bracket not only simplifies the installation steps and improves assembly efficiency, but also ensures the stable fixation of the snap-fit ​​block within the limiting ring groove, enhancing the overall structural strength and safety of the flange pipe fork. It avoids complex processes such as traditional welding, reducing installation time and costs, and further improving the ease of installation of the flange pipe fork.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the limiting ring groove near the groove opening is provided with a clearance ring groove, and there is a gap between the clearance ring groove and the snap-fit ​​block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the clearance ring groove allows the buckle block to enter more smoothly when inserted into the limit ring groove, reducing resistance during the assembly process and improving installation efficiency.

[0016] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is provided at one end of the elastic rod near the connecting block, and the reinforcing rod is connected to the side wall of the elastic rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcement bar enhances the connection strength between the elastic bar and the connecting block, improves the overall stability and reliability of the buckle assembly, and thus further enhances the convenience of flange pipe forks during installation and the safety during use.

[0018] Preferably, the cross-section of the reinforcing rod is triangular, and the two right-angled sides of the reinforcing rod are connected to the connecting block and the elastic rod, respectively.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing rod has a triangular cross-section, with its two right-angled sides connected to the connecting block and the elastic rod respectively. This enhances the structural strength and stability of the elastic rod, preventing deformation or breakage due to uneven stress during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the flange pipe fork. Simultaneously, this design also improves the overall reliability and durability of the snap-fit ​​assembly, further enhancing the ease of installation and maintenance of the flange pipe fork.

[0020] Preferably, the end edge of the reinforcing rod away from the connecting block is flush with the end of the through hole near the connecting block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the reinforcing rod away from the connecting block is flush with the end of the through hole near the connecting block, ensuring that the reinforcing rod will not protrude into the first bracket during installation. This avoids interference between the first bracket and other components caused by the protrusion of the reinforcing rod, and further improves the installation convenience and structural stability of the flange pipe fork.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The first and second brackets of the flange pipe fork are movably connected, and disassembly and connection are achieved through a connecting block and snap-fit ​​assembly set on the first bracket. This design significantly improves the ease of installation of the flange pipe fork, reduces the need for complex processes such as traditional welding, thereby simplifying the installation process and saving time and labor costs. At the same time, the detachable design also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement, further enhancing ease of use;

[0024] 2. When installation is required, simply align the snap-fit ​​block with the through hole and guide it through using the guide surface. The snap-fit ​​block will automatically reset and fit against the side wall of the first bracket away from the connecting block, completing the limiting action. The elastic rod and snap-fit ​​block design of the snap-fit ​​assembly allow for quick assembly and disassembly between the first bracket and the connecting block, greatly improving the ease of flange pipe fork installation. It avoids complex processes such as traditional welding, significantly reducing installation time and labor intensity, and improving work efficiency.

[0025] 3. The reinforcing rod has a triangular cross-section, with its two right-angled sides connected to the connecting block and the elastic rod respectively. This enhances the structural strength and stability of the elastic rod, preventing deformation or breakage due to uneven stress during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the flange pipe fork. Simultaneously, this design improves the overall reliability and durability of the snap-fit ​​assembly, further enhancing the ease of installation and maintenance of the flange pipe fork.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a flange pipe fork with convenient installation. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The flange pipe fork with convenient installation includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, which are movably connected. To improve the ease of installation, a connecting block 3 is provided on the side of the first bracket 1 near the second bracket 2. The connecting block 3 and the second bracket 2 are pre-movably connected via a shaft structure. A snap-fit ​​assembly 4 is provided on the side of the connecting block 3 near the first bracket 1, allowing the first bracket 1 to be detachably connected to the connecting block 3 via the snap-fit ​​assembly 4.

[0032] This design significantly improves the ease of installation of flange pipe forks, reducing the need for complex procedures such as traditional welding, thereby simplifying the installation process and saving time and labor costs. At the same time, the detachable design facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement, further enhancing usability.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The buckle assembly 4 includes several elastic rods 41. The end of the connecting block 3 near the first card holder 1 is provided with a buckle groove 31. One end of the elastic rod 41 is integrally formed with the bottom of the buckle groove 31. The side wall of the first card holder 1 near the connecting block 3 is provided with a through hole 11. The end of the elastic rod 41 away from the connecting block 3 can pass through the through hole 11. The elastic rod 41 and the through hole 11 are fitted with a clearance.

[0034] A reinforcing rod 43 is provided at one end of the elastic rod 41 near the connecting block 3. The reinforcing rod 43 is integrally formed with the elastic rod 41 and is provided on the side wall of the elastic rod 41. In this embodiment, the reinforcing rod 43 is provided on one side wall of the elastic rod 41 in the direction of elastic bending. The cross section of the reinforcing rod 43 is triangular, and the two right-angled sides of the reinforcing rod 43 are connected to the connecting block 3 and the elastic rod 41, respectively.

[0035] To ensure the end of the elastic rod 41 furthest from the connecting block 3 can smoothly pass through the through hole 11, the end of the reinforcing rod 43 furthest from the connecting block 3 is flush with the end of the through hole 11 closest to the connecting block 3. The reinforcing rod 43 has a triangular cross-section, with its two right-angled sides connected to the connecting block 3 and the elastic rod 41 respectively. This enhances the structural strength and stability of the elastic rod 41, preventing deformation or breakage due to uneven stress during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the flange pipe fork. Simultaneously, this design also improves the overall reliability and durability of the snap-fit ​​assembly 4, further enhancing the ease of installation and maintenance of the flange pipe fork.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A latching block 42 is integrally formed at one end of the elastic rod 41 that passes through the through hole 11. Each elastic rod 41 corresponds to one latching block 42. In this embodiment, in order to achieve the latching effect, one end of the latching block 42 is flush with the side wall of the elastic rod 41, and the other end protrudes from the elastic rod 41. A guide surface 421 is provided at the side of the latching block 42 that is in contact with the first card holder 1 and away from the connecting block 3. The guide surface 421 guides the latching block 42 to pass through the through hole 11. When the latching block 42 passes through the through hole 11, the elastic rod 41 will undergo elastic deformation. When the latching block 42 completely passes through the through hole 11, under the rebound action of the elastic rod 41, the elastic rod 41 returns to its original state, and one side of the latching block 42 that protrudes from the elastic rod 41 can be in contact with the side wall of the first card holder 1 away from the connecting block 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first card holder 1 is provided with a locking member 5, which is used to lock the buckle block 42 that is attached to the side wall of the first card holder 1 away from the connecting block 3. The locking member 5 includes a locking cover 51, and a connecting hole 512 is provided in the center of the locking cover 51. The end of the first card holder 1 away from the second card holder 2 passes through the connecting hole 512, and the locking cover 51 is threadedly connected to the first card holder 1. A limiting ring groove 511 is provided on the side of the locking cover 51 near the connecting block 3. Several elastic rods 41 form a virtual circle around it, and several buckle blocks 42 can be inserted into the limiting ring groove 511. At this time, the limiting ring groove is partially misaligned with the through hole 11.

[0038] The inner wall of the limiting ring groove 511 near the groove opening is provided with a clearance ring groove 513, and there is a gap between the clearance ring groove 513 and the snap block 42.

[0039] The implementation principle of a flange pipe fork with convenient installation according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During connection, the connecting block 3 is brought closer to the first bracket 1. When the latching block 42 passes through the through hole 11, the elastic rod 41 undergoes elastic deformation. When the latching block 42 completely passes through the through hole 11, under the rebound action of the elastic rod 41, the elastic rod 41 returns to its original state, and one side of the latching block 42 and the side wall protruding from the elastic rod 41 can be attached to the side wall of the first bracket 1 away from the connecting block 3. At this time, the locking cover 51 is brought closer to the connecting block 3 and screwed on. Finally, a part of the latching block 42 is inserted into the limiting ring groove 511, at which point the elastic rod 41 cannot deform. The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are installed to form a complete flange pipe fork. This significantly improves the ease of installation of the flange pipe fork, reduces the need for complex processes such as traditional welding, thereby simplifying the installation process and saving time and labor costs.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
