Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive fastener technology, and in particular to an automotive pipe clamp assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, with the continuous increase and comprehensiveness of automotive functions, the use of various pipe fittings has also increased significantly. Pipe clamp structures have become a commonly used component. For example, the existing patent publication number CN218468412U discloses an automotive pipe clamp structure, including: a pipe clamp body, an mounting rod, a rubber sleeve, and two sets of limiting components. The limiting components include a limiting sleeve, a compression arc block, a telescopic rod, and a limiting spring. The limiting sleeve is disposed within the pipe clamp body, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are fixed to the limiting sleeve and the pipe clamp body, respectively. The connection consists of two ends of a limiting spring that are fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve and a pipe clamp body, respectively, and fitted onto the outside of the telescopic rod. A compression block is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve and located on the outer wall of the limiting sleeve. By placing the pipe fitting into the pipe clamp body, the fitting compresses the two compression blocks, which in turn pull the limiting sleeve to move. The telescopic rod and the limiting spring are compressed, facilitating the fitting's entry into the limiting sleeve. Simultaneously, the limiting spring's elasticity pushes the limiting sleeve, and the two limiting sleeves clamp and fix the fitting, enabling the fixing of fittings of different sizes and specifications, thus achieving high practicality.

[0003] However, the automotive pipe clamps disclosed in the above patents are prone to falling off the clamps during use due to vibrations caused by vehicle operation, resulting in low practicality. Therefore, we propose an automotive pipe clamp assembly to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the present invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents, and such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive pipe clamp assembly that can solve the problem that existing automotive pipe clamps are prone to falling off the clamps after the vehicle vibrates during use, resulting in low practicality.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides an automotive pipe clamp assembly, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a mounting plate, a connecting plate fixedly disposed on the side of the mounting plate, a supporting arc plate fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting plate, an elastic steel plate disposed on the upper end of the connecting plate through an auxiliary component, external teeth fixedly disposed on the side of the elastic steel plate, and a clamping component disposed at the end of the supporting arc plate.

[0007] The clamping assembly includes a fixed base, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the supporting arc plate. The fixed base has a limiting groove inside for the elastic steel plate and external teeth to move through. The fixed base also has a movable groove inside, which is interconnected with the limiting groove. The limiting groove passes through both the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed base, while the movable groove passes through the front side of the fixed base. A support plate is fixedly disposed inside the movable groove. Two sliding rods are slidably disposed inside the support plate. A movable plate is fixedly connected between the ends of the two sliding rods. Two locking teeth are fixedly disposed on the side of the movable plate, engaging with the external teeth. A spring is fixedly connected between the support plate and the movable plate. A gripping rod is fixedly connected between the other ends of the two sliding rods. The horizontal cross-section of both the locking teeth and the external teeth is triangular.

[0008] Preferably, a buffer plate is fixedly provided at the inner ring of the supporting arc plate.

[0009] Preferably, the movable plate and the movable groove are adapted to each other, and the two sliding rods are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the external automotive panel by screws.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes a fixing block, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the elastic steel plate. A reserved groove is fixedly disposed inside the connecting plate. An insertion port for the fixing block to pass through is fixedly opened at the upper end of the connecting plate. The insertion port and the reserved groove are interconnected. A pressure plate is slidably disposed inside the reserved groove. The pressure plate is adapted to the reserved groove. A rack is fixedly disposed on the side of the pressure plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably disposed at the upper end of the connecting plate. A gear is fixedly disposed at one end of the rotating shaft that extends into the reserved groove. The gear and the rack mesh with each other. The fixing block and the pressure plate are movably fitted together.

[0012] Preferably, the surfaces of the fixing block and the pressure plate that are in contact with each other are both set as bevels.

[0013] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft, and an anti-slip texture is fixedly provided on the outer ring of the handle.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By installing the clamping assembly, the automotive pipe fitting is placed on the supporting arc plate. Then, one end of the elastic steel plate is wrapped around the top of the automotive pipe fitting and inserted into the limiting groove. The elastic steel plate is then tightened. Under the elastic action of the spring, a pushing force is applied to the movable plate and the clamping teeth, causing the clamping teeth to lock the outer teeth. This prevents the outer teeth from moving upwards and restricts the position of the elastic steel plate, thus clamping the automotive pipe fitting between the supporting arc plate and the elastic steel plate. This fixes the automotive pipe fitting in place. Even when the vehicle vibrates during operation, the automotive pipe fitting will not fall off the clamp. This solves the problem that existing automotive pipe fitting clamps are prone to falling off the clamps during vehicle vibration, resulting in low practicality.

[0016] 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the automotive pipe fitting, pull the lever to move the slide bar, movable plate and locking teeth outward, thereby removing the displacement restriction of the outer teeth. Then, pull the elastic steel plate out of the limiting groove to disassemble the automotive pipe fitting, thus improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the automotive pipe fitting.

[0017] 3. The buffer plate serves two purposes: firstly, it can alleviate the vibration of automotive pipe components; secondly, it can fine-tune the tension of the elastic steel plate, allowing the locking teeth and external teeth to fully engage with each other, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0018] 4. When it is necessary to replace the elastic steel plate, turn the handle to drive the rotating shaft and gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack and pressure plate to move, so that the pressure plate loosens the fixing block, making it easy to remove the elastic steel plate and the fixing block. The new elastic steel plate can then be installed in reverse, improving the convenience of device maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automotive pipe clamp assembly, including a mounting plate 1, a connecting plate 2 fixedly disposed on the side of the mounting plate 1, a supporting arc plate 3 fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting plate 2, an elastic steel plate 5 disposed on the upper end of the connecting plate 2 via an auxiliary component, external teeth 6 fixedly disposed on the side of the elastic steel plate 5, and a clamping component disposed at the end of the supporting arc plate 3. The clamping component includes a fixing seat 7, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the supporting arc plate 3. A limiting groove 8 is fixedly provided inside the fixing seat 7 for the elastic steel plate 5 and the external teeth 6 to move through. A movable groove 9 is fixedly provided inside the fixing seat 7. The limiting groove 8 and the movable groove 9 are interconnected. The limiting groove 8 simultaneously... The movable groove 9 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed base 7 and through the front side of the fixed base 7. A support plate 10 is fixedly installed inside the movable groove 9. Two slide rods 14 are slidably installed inside the support plate 10. The two slide rods 14 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the support plate 10. A movable plate 11 is fixedly connected between the ends of the two slide rods 14. The movable plate 11 is adapted to the movable groove 9. Two locking teeth 12 are fixedly installed on the side of the movable plate 11. The locking teeth 12 and the outer teeth 6 engage with each other. A spring 13 is fixedly connected between the support plate 10 and the movable plate 11. A gripping rod 15 is fixedly connected between the other ends of the two slide rods 14. The horizontal cross-sections of the locking teeth 12 and the outer teeth 6 are both triangular structures.

[0028] In use, the mounting plate 1 is screwed onto a designated position on the external automotive panel. The automotive pipe is placed on the supporting arc plate 3. One end of the elastic steel plate 5 is then wrapped around the top of the automotive pipe and inserted into the limiting groove 8. The elastic steel plate 5 is then tightened. Under the elastic action of the spring 13, a pushing force is applied to the movable plate and the locking teeth 12, causing the locking teeth 12 to lock the outer teeth 6. This prevents the outer teeth 6 from moving upwards and restricts the position of the elastic steel plate 5, thus clamping the automotive pipe between the supporting arc plate 3 and the elastic steel plate 5 and fixing the automotive pipe. Even when the car vibrates during operation, the automotive pipe will not fall off the clamp. This solves the problem that existing automotive pipe clamps are prone to falling off during vehicle vibration, resulting in low practicality.

[0029] When it is necessary to disassemble the automotive pipe, pull the handle 15 to move the slide bar 14, the movable plate 11, and the locking teeth 12 outward, thereby removing the displacement restriction of the outer teeth 6. Then, pull the elastic steel plate 5 out of the limiting groove 8 to disassemble the automotive pipe, thus improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the automotive pipe.

[0030] Furthermore, a buffer plate 4 is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the supporting arc plate 3. The buffer plate 4 can alleviate the vibration of the automotive pipes and finely adjust the tension of the elastic steel plate 5, so that the locking teeth 12 and the outer teeth 6 can be fully engaged with each other, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] Furthermore, the auxiliary components include a fixing block 17, which is fixedly installed at the end of the elastic steel plate 5. A reserved groove 16 is fixedly installed inside the connecting plate 2. An insertion port for the fixing block 17 to pass through is fixedly opened at the upper end of the connecting plate 2. The insertion port and the reserved groove 16 are interconnected. A pressure plate 21 is slidably installed inside the reserved groove 16. The pressure plate 21 and the reserved groove 16 are adapted to each other. A rack 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the pressure plate 21. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the connecting plate 2. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 18. Anti-slip texture is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the handle. A gear 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 18 that extends into the reserved groove 16. The gear 19 and the rack 20 mesh with each other. The fixing block 17 and the pressure plate 21 are movably fitted together.

[0032] When the elastic steel plate 5 needs to be replaced, turn the handle to drive the rotating shaft 18 and gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 20 and pressure plate 21 to move, so that the pressure plate 21 loosens the fixing block 17, making it easy to remove the elastic steel plate 5 and the fixing block 17, and then install the new elastic steel plate 5 in reverse, which improves the convenience of device maintenance.

[0033] Furthermore, the surfaces of the fixing block 17 and the pressure plate 21 that are in contact with each other are both set as bevels. This design allows the pressure plate 21 to better hold the fixing block 17 in place, making the installation of the elastic steel plate 5 more stable.

[0034] Working principle: In use, the mounting plate 1 is installed on the designated position of the external automotive panel with screws. The automotive pipe is placed on the supporting arc plate 3. Then, one end of the elastic steel plate 5 is wrapped around the top of the automotive pipe and inserted into the limiting groove 8. The elastic steel plate 5 is then tightened. Under the elastic action of the spring 13, a pushing force is applied to the locking tooth 12, causing the locking tooth 12 to lock the outer tooth 6. This prevents the outer tooth 6 from moving upwards and restricts the position of the elastic steel plate 5. The automotive pipe is then clamped between the supporting arc plate 3 and the elastic steel plate 5, thus fixing the automotive pipe. When the car vibrates during operation, the automotive pipe will not fall off the clamp.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
