[0036] The specific embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0037] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the drawing orientation shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational construction and operation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure.

[0038] In this disclosure, it should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Furthermore, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same elements.

[0039] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connect," "link," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] In related technologies, the main methods for fixing pipes and wiring harnesses on the vehicle frame are to bundle multiple pipes together with cable ties, then secure them to the frame as a whole using clamps and brackets, or to use pipe clamps with a fixed number of openings and bolts and nuts to fix them to the frame, or to use separate pipe clamps and brackets to fix different pipes to the frame. This results in pipes being bundled together, leading to poor aesthetics, difficulty in identification, and hindering assembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the use of different brackets for fixing different pipes results in a wide variety of brackets and clamps, poor versatility, and installation difficulties. Different fixing points require multiple openings in the main beam, reducing the beam's strength. Using bolts and nuts for fixing and disassembling is complex and increases the overall vehicle weight.

[0041] In view of this, the first aspect of this disclosure, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a cable clamp 100 is provided for use in a vehicle. It includes a first cable clamp 10 and a second cable clamp 20 connected together. The first end of the first cable clamp 10 is provided with a first slot 11, and the first end of the second cable clamp 20 is provided with a second slot 21. The first end of the second cable clamp 20 is detachably connected to the first end of the first cable clamp 10 through a snap-fit ​​structure. The first slot 11 and the second slot 21 are connected to form a clamping groove 30 for accommodating a cable 300. The cable clamp 100 is suitable for connection to the vehicle frame 200.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, a pipe clamp 100 is designed for installing the pipe 300. The pipe clamp 100 is connected to the frame 200, and the pipe 300 is arranged in the clamp groove 30. The clamp groove 30 is formed by the mating connection of the first groove 11 and the second groove 21. The first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. This setting facilitates the opening and closing of the clamp groove 30, which is beneficial for the installation, disassembly and replacement of the pipe 300. The operation is simple and the installation is convenient. The snap-fit ​​structure can be quickly disassembled and assembled without the need for auxiliary tools, which can improve assembly efficiency and reduce the difficulty of maintenance.

[0043] In this disclosure, the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 serve to create a clamping groove 30 to accommodate the pipeline 300, facilitating the installation of the pipeline 300. Since the pipeline clamp 100 is a separate unit, when removing or replacing the pipeline 300, it is not necessary to remove the entire pipeline clamp 100 from the frame 200. Only one of the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 needs to be removed via the snap-fit ​​structure, thus facilitating the quick installation and removal of the pipeline 300.

[0044] Here, the snap-fit ​​structure can be a press-type snap, a spring snap, a push-pull snap, or other suitable structure to achieve quick installation and removal of the first wire clamp 10 and the second wire clamp 20. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0045] In embodiments where the snap-fit ​​structure is a press-type snap fastener, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure may include a first snap-fit ​​groove 12 and a first snap-fit ​​buckle 22. The first wire clamp 10 is provided with one of the first snap-fit ​​groove 12 and the first snap-fit ​​buckle 22, and the second wire clamp 20 is provided with the other of the first snap-fit ​​groove 12 and the first snap-fit ​​buckle 22. This facilitates quick installation and removal between the two.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, a first buckle 22 is provided on the second wire clamp 20, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a first slot 12 is provided on the second clamp 20, and a first buckle 22 is engaged with the first slot 12 to connect the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, two first slots 12 can be provided, and the two first slots 12 can be arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the clamping groove 30. Two first buckles 22 are also provided, and the two first buckles 22 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the clamping groove 30. This can improve the stability of the connection between the two first buckles 22 and the two first slots 12, and at the same time, ensure that the two first buckles 22 are subjected to force as evenly as possible, thereby improving the service life of the pipeline clamp 100.

[0048] In this disclosure, the clamping groove 30 can be configured as circular, square, or other structures suitable for accommodating the pipeline 300, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the clamping groove 30 can be a circular groove. A circular groove 30 provides a more uniform pressure distribution under stress, reducing the likelihood of fatigue and extending its service life. Furthermore, the circular inner wall reduces friction with the pipeline 300, protecting the cable, and the circular inner contour better accommodates pipelines 300 of different diameters, offering greater adaptability.

[0049] In related technologies, multiple pipelines are bundled together in 300 turns, which is not only unsightly but also difficult to distinguish, affecting assembly and maintenance.

[0050] In this disclosure, multiple pipe clamps 100 can be used together, such as Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the first wire clamp 10 may include a second buckle 13 and a second slot 14. The first wire clamp 10 includes a front first wire clamp 101 and a rear first wire clamp 102. The front first wire clamp 101 is provided with a second buckle 13 and a second slot 14 on both sides respectively. The rear first wire clamp 102 is provided with a second slot 14 on at least one side. Adjacent first wire clamps 10 are connected by the second buckle 13 and the second slot 14. With this configuration, two adjacent first clamp 10 brackets can be connected or disassembled. Therefore, when the types or functions of the pipelines 300 are diverse, pipelines 300 of the same type or function can use a single pipeline clamp 100, ensuring that pipelines and wire harnesses with different functions can be effectively distinguished. Multiple pipeline clamps 100 can be connected to complete the classified installation of the pipelines 300. This not only ensures the aesthetics of the pipelines 300 after installation, but also facilitates the differentiation of various types of pipelines 300 during maintenance. Furthermore, it can accommodate a large number of pipelines 300, which helps to ensure the uniformity of the types of pipeline clamps 100 and improve versatility.

[0051] For example, the two sides of the front first wire clamp 101 are the second buckle 13 and the second slot 14, respectively, and the two sides of the rear first wire clamp 102 are the second buckle 13 and the second slot 14, respectively. In this way, the adjacent second buckles 13 and second slots 14 can be connected without distinguishing between the front first wire clamp 101 and the rear first wire clamp 102, which facilitates a unified process during manufacturing.

[0052] Alternatively, the front first wire clip 101 has a second buckle 13 and a second slot 14 on both sides, and the rear first wire clip 102 has a second slot 14 on both sides. Then, the second buckles 13 and second slots 14 of adjacent front first wire clips 101 are connected, and the second slots 14 of the rear first wire clip 102 are fastened to the second buckles 13 on the front first wire clips 101. This way, there will be no extra second buckles 13. Figure 8As shown, this ensures the flatness of the appearance after the front first clamp 101 and the rear first clamp 102 are connected.

[0053] The cable clamp 100 can be connected to the frame 200 by bolts or cable ties, etc. This disclosure does not limit this connection, as long as it ensures a stable connection of the cable clamp 100 to the frame 200. In an embodiment where the cable clamp 100 is connected to the frame 200 by cable ties, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the cable clamp may also include a connecting cable tie structure 40, through which the first cable clamp 10 is connected to the frame 200. Compared with related technologies, this disclosure can reduce the variety of brackets and clamps used, eliminate the need for too many connection holes on the frame 200, reduce damage to the frame 200 itself, and achieve quick installation and disassembly without auxiliary tools, realizing tool-free assembly and disassembly throughout the process. Thus, the use of parts is reduced, which is conducive to achieving lightweight design and reducing structural weight.

[0054] In this disclosure, the first cable clamp 10 is installed close to the plane of the frame 200 to ensure the stability of the cable clamp 100 installation.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connecting cable tie structure 40 may include a limiting block 41, a connecting strap 42, and a locking block 43. The connecting strap 42 is connected to the limiting block 41 and detachably connected to the locking block 43. The first cable clamp 10 is provided with a first connecting hole 15, which passes through the first slot 11 to the second end of the first cable clamp 10. The second end of the first cable clamp 10 is arranged opposite to the first end of the first cable clamp 10. The frame 200 is provided with a second connecting hole. The connecting strap 42 passes through the first connecting hole 15 and the second connecting hole, and the limiting block 41 is pressed against the first cable clamp 10, and the locking block 43 is pressed against the frame 200. Here, the limiting block 41 is used to press the cable clamp 100, the locking block 43 is used to press the frame 200, and the connecting strap 42 passes through the first connecting hole 15 and the second connecting hole, and connects the locking block 43 and the limiting block 41. In this way, the cable clamp 100 can be conveniently connected to the frame 200 using the connecting cable tie structure 40.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the first connecting hole 15 may include a first hole segment 151 and a second hole segment 152 disposed along the second end of the first wire clamp 10 to the first slot 11. The diameter of the first hole segment 151 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting block 41, and the diameter of the second hole segment 152 is larger than the diameter of the limiting block 41. A stepped surface 153 is provided at the connection between the second hole segment 152 and the first hole segment 151, and the limiting block 41 is pressed against the stepped surface 153. Here, the first connecting hole 15 is used for cable ties to pass through, and the stepped surface 153 is used to limit the position of the limiting block 41 of the connecting cable tie structure 40 to ensure the stability of the pressing of the limiting block 41.

[0057] Optionally, the length of the second hole segment 152 is greater than the thickness of the limiting block 41. This arrangement ensures that the limiting block 41 is completely contained within the second hole segment 152, meaning that there is no protrusion of the limiting block 41 within the clamping groove 30. This facilitates friction between the limiting block 41 and the pipeline 300, thus helping to avoid damage to the pipeline 300.

[0058] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle is provided, including a frame 200 and the aforementioned cable clamp 100, the cable clamp 100 being connected to the frame 200.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0060] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, and this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0061] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
