[0002] Diesel engines and other similar engines typically have multiple oil lines, which need to be secured in suitable positions using pipe clamps to ensure stability. Existing pipe clamps generally have mounting holes, which, along with bolts or other pipe clamp connection structures, allow the pipe clamps to be fixed to pre-set mounting positions on the vehicle's sheet metal. In other words, the mounting position of existing pipe clamps on the vehicle's sheet metal is fixed and cannot be fine-tuned.

[0003] However, due to the distribution of the tubing and installation space, there may be discrepancies between the preset mounting hole positions and the required installation positions of the pipe clamp device.

[0044] This embodiment provides a pipe clamp device, an engine, and a vehicle.

[0045] The engine includes an engine body, pipe fittings, and a pipe clamp device provided in this embodiment. The housing of the engine body forms a fixing position for the pipe fittings. The pipe fittings are connected to the engine body and can be clamped and fixed to the pipe clamp device, thereby achieving positioning. The pipe clamp device can be fixed to the fixing position of the pipe fittings, i.e., on the housing of the engine body. In this embodiment, the pipe fitting can specifically be an oil pipe.

[0046] The vehicle specifically includes a body structure and the aforementioned engine. The body structure forms a mounting cavity, within which both the engine body and the oil pipes are housed. Both the inner wall of the mounting cavity and the engine body provide mounting positions for the pipes. Due to the considerable length of the oil pipes, multiple pipe clamps are required to secure them along their extension direction. Therefore, some of these clamps need to be fixed to the engine housing, while others need to be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0047] In other embodiments, the pipe clamp device can also be used to fix other pipes of the vehicle, such as air conditioning pipes or exhaust pipes, and the pipe clamp device can also be fixed to the vehicle body structure.

[0048] Figure 1 This diagram shows the structure of the pipe clamp device provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 An exploded view of the pipe clamp device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipe clamp device provided in this embodiment specifically includes a pipe clamp body 100, an adjusting component 200, and a pipe clamp connecting structure 300.

[0049] Specifically, the pipe clamp body 100 can clamp the pipe fitting for positioning. The adjusting member 200 has an adjusting elongated hole 210 and is rotatably connected to the pipe clamp body 100 to adjust the orientation of the long axis of the adjusting elongated hole 210. The pipe clamp connecting structure 300 passes through the adjusting elongated hole 210 and can fix the pipe clamp body 100 and the adjusting member 200 in the fixed position of the pipe fitting.

[0050] To be more specific, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipe clamp body 100 includes a pipe clamping part and a block-shaped fixing part 110. The pipe clamping part is provided with a pipe fixing channel, through which pipes such as engine oil pipes can be inserted. The fixing part 110 is connected to one side of the bottom of the pipe clamping part and has a mounting hole 111. The cross-section of the adjusting member 200 and the mounting hole 111 are both circular. The diameter of the adjusting member 200 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 111, so that the adjusting member 200 can rotate around its own axis in the mounting hole 111, thereby adjusting the orientation of its long axis.

[0051] More specifically, Figure 3 This diagram shows a structural schematic of the adjustment member provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 3 The adjusting elongated hole 210 is specifically an oblong hole. The pipe clamp connection structure 300 can be adjusted and fixed along the long axis of the adjusting elongated hole 210. Before fixing the pipe clamp body 100 and the adjusting member 200 using the pipe clamp connection structure 300, based on the adjustable relative angle between the long axis of the adjusting elongated hole 210 and the pipe clamp body 100, and by selecting the position of the pipe clamp connection structure 300 in the long axis of the adjusting elongated hole 210, the installation position and installation angle of the pipe clamp device can be further fine-tuned to meet the fixing requirements of oil pipes with different orientations on the engine, improving installation flexibility and reliability.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipe clamp connection structure 300 includes a connecting bolt 310 and a washer 320. The thread of the connecting bolt 310 passes through the washer 320 and the adjusting elongated hole 210, and is connected to a pre-set mounting screw hole at the pipe fitting fixing position. The diameter of the washer 320 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting member 200 and the diameter of the mounting hole 111. The washer 320 can be pressed against by the head of the connecting bolt 310, thus pressing the adjusting member 200 and the fixing part 110 together. In other words, the adjusting member 200 and the fixing part 110 are clamped between the washer 320 and the pipe fitting fixing position.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipe clamping part is provided with multiple pipe fixing channels. These channels are spaced apart along the height of the clamping part and are parallel to each other, used to simultaneously clamp multiple parallel oil pipes. In this embodiment, there are specifically two pipe fixing channels. The number of these channels can be selected based on the number of parallel oil pipes that need to be fixed at the same location; the specific number is not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] Specifically, the pipe fixing channel has an elongated hole structure, with its long axis parallel to the length direction of the pipe clamping part. Pipes and other fittings can be adjusted and fixed along the long axis of the fixing channel. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​pipes and other fittings that need to be fixed is generally circular, the pipe can be finely adjusted along its long axis within the fixing channel, improving the flexibility between the pipe clamping part and the pipe to be fixed.

[0055] As a preferred option, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The pipe clamp device also includes an elastic retaining sleeve 400. The elastic retaining sleeve 400 can wrap around the periphery of the pipe fitting and is inserted and clamped within the pipe fitting fixing channel. The elastic retaining sleeve 400 can form a buffer between the oil pipe and the inner wall of the pipe fitting fixing channel, preventing damage to the oil pipe caused by rigid contact between the pipe fitting clamping part and the oil pipe. Furthermore, the elastic retaining sleeve 400 can enhance the friction between the inner wall of the pipe fitting fixing channel and the oil pipe, ensuring the reliability of the clamping part's gripping of the oil pipe. In this embodiment, the elastic retaining sleeve 400 can specifically be made of rubber.

[0056] Specifically, the elastic retaining sleeve 400 has a hollow cylindrical structure and an installation channel 410 along its generatrix. The installation channel 410 connects to the internal space of the elastic retaining sleeve 400. Because the elastic retaining sleeve 400 is elastic, the installation channel 410 allows it to be easily fitted from its periphery onto the outside of the oil pipe. Furthermore, the installation channel 410 provides space for fine-tuning the internal space of the elastic retaining sleeve 400, enabling it to wrap around oil pipes of different diameters.

[0057] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the structural details of the pipe clamp body according to an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 4 The pipe clamping part includes a detachably connected first clamping member 120 and a second clamping member 130. The first clamping member 120 has a first groove 121, and the second clamping member 130 has a second groove 131. The first groove 121 and the second groove 131 can be engaged to form a pipe fixing channel. The fixing part 110 is integrally formed on the side of the second clamping member 130 near the bottom. With the above configuration, the pipe clamping part is conveniently installed on the periphery of the oil pipe.

[0058] Specifically, the pipe clamp body 100 further includes a plurality of connectors 140, which pass through and connect to the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 130, and the plurality of connectors 140 are spaced apart. In this embodiment, there are two connectors 140, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the pipe clamping portion to improve the uniformity of force on the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 130 and to ensure the reliability of the connection between the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 130.

[0059] More specifically, the connector 140 is a connecting bolt. The second clamping member 130 has a threaded hole, and the first clamping member 120 has a through hole with a smooth inner wall corresponding to the threaded hole. The threaded portion of the connector 140 passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, and the head of the connector 140 can tightly press against the side of the first clamping member 120 opposite to the second clamping member 130.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
