Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle hose mounting assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when assembling vehicle hose mounting components, external threads are typically provided on the outer surface of the hose connector. These threads are then used to lock the hose connector onto the bracket via a locking nut that has internal threads. However, the structure of these vehicle hose mounting components is quite complex, requiring tools for installation and disassembly. This can lead to loosening and falling due to insufficient torque tightening, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a vehicle hose mounting assembly and a vehicle to at least partially solve the technical problems existing in the related art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle hose mounting assembly, comprising:

[0005] A hose connector having a groove formed along its circumference;

[0006] Mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket has mounting holes;

[0007] A snap-fit ​​connector has a notch formed on one side, the hose connector is at least partially located in the notch, the snap-fit ​​connector snaps into the notch of the hose connector, and the side of the snap-fit ​​connector near the mounting bracket abuts against the mounting bracket;

[0008] The abutment is connected to the hose connector, and the outer diameter of the abutment is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole. The abutment abuts against the side of the mounting bracket opposite to the snap-fit ​​member.

[0009] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​member is formed as a plate-like structure, the notch extends through the snap-fit ​​member along its thickness direction, and the snap-fit ​​member is at least partially embedded in the slot.

[0010] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​component includes a body and two connecting arms, the body being connected between the two connecting arms, and the body and the two connecting arms together forming the notch.

[0011] Optionally, a flange is formed at one end of the connecting arm away from the body, and the flange is formed in an arc shape and is disposed on the side of the connecting arm away from the mounting bracket.

[0012] Optionally, the middle part of the snap-fit ​​protrudes towards the side opposite to the mounting bracket, and the two side edges of the snap-fit ​​gradually slope downward and form an arc shape.

[0013] Optionally, the hose connector includes a large-diameter section and a small-diameter section connected to each other. The large-diameter section is connected between the small-diameter section and the hose. The small-diameter section is used to pass through the mounting hole. The large-diameter section is used to abut against the side of the mounting bracket opposite to the snap-fit ​​member.

[0014] Optionally, the mounting bracket also has mounting holes through which fastening bolts for connection to the vehicle frame pass.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate connected to each other, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate being disposed on opposite sides, the mounting hole being formed on the first mounting plate, and the assembly hole being formed on the second mounting plate.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting bracket further includes a reinforcing member, one end of which is connected to the first mounting plate and the other end of which is connected to the second mounting plate.

[0017] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle including the vehicle hose mounting assembly described above.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, during the installation and fixing of the hose, the mounting bracket can be installed on the vehicle frame first, then the hose connector can be inserted into the mounting hole, and then the part of the hose connector outside the mounting hole can be inserted into the notch groove. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​can be snapped into the pre-set slot on the hose connector. In this way, with the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​and the slot, the snap-fit ​​and the abutment connected to the hose connector can abut against the mounting bracket from both sides of the mounting bracket, thereby effectively preventing the hose connector from coming out of the mounting hole, so as to achieve the fixing of the hose connector and the hose. It is not easy to loosen or fall off when the vehicle is bumpy. It has the advantages of strong stability, simple structure and convenient assembly, thus facilitating the weight reduction of the vehicle.

[0019] Furthermore, compared to using a lock nut to secure the hose connector to the bracket, the snap-fit ​​element used in this disclosure snaps into the slot of the hose connector. Even if the hose connector rotates during vehicle operation, it will not affect the connection or fit between the snap-fit ​​element and the hose connector. That is, it will not cause the snap-fit ​​element and the hose connector to loosen. This avoids the situation where the torque is insufficient when using a lock nut to tighten the hose connector, which could lead to the nut loosening or falling off.

[0020] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be 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.

[0027] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," and "right" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientation structure and operation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding structures.

[0028] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second," are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Furthermore, in the description referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same element.

[0029] 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.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 2As shown, the first aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle hose mounting assembly, including a hose connector 1, a mounting bracket 2, a snap-fit ​​member 3, and a top abutment. The hose connector 1 has a slot 10 formed along its circumference. The mounting bracket 2 is used to connect to a vehicle frame 200 and has a mounting hole 20. A notch 30 is formed on one side of the snap-fit ​​member 3. The hose connector 1 is at least partially located in the notch 30. The snap-fit ​​member 3 snaps into the slot 10 of the hose connector 1, and the side of the snap-fit ​​member 3 near the mounting bracket 2 abuts against the mounting bracket 2. The top abutment is connected to the hose connector 1, and the outer diameter of the top abutment is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 20. The top abuts against the side of the mounting bracket 2 opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 3.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, during the installation and fixing of the hose 100, the mounting bracket 2 can be installed on the vehicle frame 200 first, then the hose connector 1 can be inserted into the mounting hole 20, and then the part of the hose connector 1 located outside the mounting hole 20 can be inserted into the notch 30. At the same time, the snap fastener 3 can be snapped into the pre-set slot 10 on the hose connector 1. In this way, with the cooperation of the snap fastener 3 and the slot 10, the snap fastener 3 and the abutment connected to the hose connector 1 can respectively abut against the mounting bracket 2 from both sides of the mounting bracket 2, thereby effectively restricting the hose connector 1 from coming out of the mounting hole 20, so as to achieve the fixing of the hose connector 1 and the hose 100. It is not easy to loosen or fall off when the vehicle is bumpy. It has the advantages of strong stability, simple structure and convenient assembly, thus facilitating the weight reduction of the vehicle.

[0032] Furthermore, compared to using a lock nut to lock the hose connector 1 onto the bracket, the present disclosure uses a snap-fit ​​3 that snaps into the slot 10 of the hose connector 1. Even if the hose connector 1 rotates during vehicle operation, it will not affect the connection or fit between the snap-fit ​​3 and the hose connector 1. That is, it will not cause the snap-fit ​​3 and the hose connector 1 to become loose, thereby avoiding the situation where the torque is insufficient when using a lock nut to tighten the hose connector 1, which could lead to the nut becoming loose or falling off.

[0033] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific type or application scenario of the hose 100 mentioned above. The hose 100 can be any hose in a vehicle. For example, the hose 100 can be a brake hose for a brake, or it can be a clutch hose for a clutch.

[0034] In this disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the snap-fit ​​member 3 can be formed as a plate-like structure, with the notch 30 penetrating through the snap-fit ​​member 3 along its thickness direction, and the snap-fit ​​member 3 is at least partially embedded in the slot 10 of the hose connector 1. Thus, when the hose 100 is installed, while the hose 100 structure is accommodated within the notch 30, the snap-fit ​​member 3 also surrounds the outer periphery of the hose connector 1, restricting the swaying and shaking of the hose connector 1 along its circumferential direction. Furthermore, since the snap-fit ​​member 3 is at least partially embedded in the slot 10 of the hose connector 1, it restricts the movement of the hose connector 1 along its axial direction, further enhancing the locking and fixing effect on the hose connector 1.

[0035] This disclosure does not limit the specific shape of the aforementioned snap-fit ​​component 3. For example, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, optionally, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fit ​​component 3 may include a body 31 and two connecting arms 32, with the body 31 connected between the two connecting arms 32. The body 31 and the two connecting arms 32 together form a notch 30. In this way, when the hose connector 1 is installed, the structure formed by the body 31 and the two connecting arms 32 can wrap around the outer periphery of the hose connector 1, further improving the limiting effect on the hose connector 1.

[0036] In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, the body 31 and the two connecting arms 32 are formed into a U-shaped structure.

[0037] It should be noted that when the hose connector 1 is accommodated in the notch 30, the body 31 and the two connecting arms 32 can each be partially embedded and snapped into the slot 10, thereby stopping and limiting the hose connector 1 from multiple directions.

[0038] In this disclosure, the dimension between the two connecting arms 32 should be smaller than the diameter of the hose connector 1 and larger than the diameter of the slot 10. This ensures that the connecting arms 32 can be at least partially engaged in the slot 10, and also prevents the hose connector 1 from coming out of the notch 30 of the engaging member 3 when subjected to external force.

[0039] Optionally, a flange is formed at the end of the connecting arm 32 facing away from the body 31. The flange is formed in an arc shape and is located on the side of the connecting arm 32 facing away from the mounting bracket 2. The flange can increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting arm 32, thereby improving its strength and rigidity, enabling it to better withstand external loads, and thus improving the stability of the connecting arm 32 when it is engaged with the mounting bracket 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the middle part of the snap-fit ​​member 3 protrudes towards the side opposite to the mounting bracket 2, and the two side edges of the snap-fit ​​member 3 gradually slope downward and form an arc shape, so that the two ends of the snap-fit ​​member 3 are used to abut against the side of the mounting bracket 2 near the snap-fit ​​member 3 when snapped with the hose connector 1. In this way, when the stop member is snapped onto the hose connector 1, under the joint contact of the mounting bracket 2 and the hose connector 1, the arc-shaped snap-fit ​​member 3 can be deformed and put into a pre-compression state. Under the action of its own elastic force, the snap-fit ​​member 3 presses the hose connector 1 tightly onto the mounting bracket 2, preventing relative movement between the hose connector 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the hose connector 1 includes a large-diameter section 11 and a small-diameter section 12 connected to each other. The large-diameter section 11 connects the small-diameter section 12 and the hose 100. The small-diameter section 12 is used to pass through the mounting hole 20, and the large-diameter section 11 is used to abut against the side of the mounting bracket 2 opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 3. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the mounting hole 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the small-diameter section 12 and smaller than the inner diameter of the large-diameter section 11. This allows the large-diameter section 11 to abut against one side of the mounting bracket 2 when the small-diameter section 12 of the hose connector 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 20. At this time, the snap-fit ​​member 3 is snapped onto the other side of the mounting bracket 2, thereby stopping and limiting the hose connector 1 from both sides. This ensures that the hose connector 1 cannot be dislodged from the mounting hole 20 in any direction, improving the stability between the hose connector 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0042] Furthermore, to further improve the stability of the fit between the snap-fit ​​component 3 and the hose connector 1, the mounting bracket 2 may include a frame and a limiting component. The limiting component is connected to the frame and protrudes from the outer surface of the frame. The limiting component is used to limit the movement of the snap-fit ​​component 3 when it is snapped into the hose connector 1. By providing a limiting component protruding from the outer surface of the frame, the movement of the snap-fit ​​component 3 can be restricted when it is snapped into the frame. Thus, under the combined action of the slot 10 and the limiting component, the movement of the snap-fit ​​component 3 along the axial direction of the hose connector 1 and the circumferential direction of the hose connector 1 can be restricted, making the fastening of the hose connector 1 more stable and reliable.

[0043] The mounting bracket 2 can be detachably connected to the vehicle frame 200. For example, in one embodiment provided in this disclosure, the mounting bracket 2 also has a mounting hole 24 through which the fastening bolt 300 connected to the vehicle frame 200 passes.

[0044] Alternatively, in another exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the mounting bracket 2 can also be connected to the vehicle frame 200 by a snap-fit ​​method. Specifically, a slot 10 can be formed on the vehicle frame 200, and a locking block can be formed on the mounting bracket 2, with the locking block snapping into the slot 10.

[0045] Alternatively, in other embodiments provided in this disclosure, the mounting bracket 2 can also be connected to the frame 200 by a non-removable method such as welding.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 may include a first mounting plate 21 and a second mounting plate 22 connected to each other. The first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are arranged on opposite sides. A mounting hole 20 is formed on the first mounting plate 21, and an assembly hole 24 is formed on the second mounting plate 22. Because the mounting hole 20 is formed on the first mounting plate 21 and the assembly hole 24 is formed on the second mounting plate 22, and the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are arranged on opposite sides, the assembly between the hose 100 and the mounting bracket 2 will not affect the assembly between the mounting bracket 2 and the vehicle frame 200, providing more assembly space and making it easier for the user to install and remove the hose 100.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket 2, in an exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the mounting bracket 2 may further include a reinforcing member 23. One end of the reinforcing member 23 is connected to the first mounting plate 21, and the other end of the reinforcing member 23 is connected to the second mounting plate 22. The reinforcing member 23 connected between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 can strengthen the connection between the two, thereby reducing or preventing deformation or twisting of the mounting bracket 2 during use, and further improving the stability and reliability of the hose connector 1 and hose 100 provided on the mounting bracket 2.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there can be multiple mounting holes 20. Multiple mounting holes 20 can be used to install a hose 100 structure or other related structures to adapt to more installation scenarios.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there are two mounting holes 20.

[0050] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle including the vehicle hose mounting assembly described above. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle hose mounting assembly is securely connected to the vehicle frame 200 by a fastening bolt 300, and the vehicle has all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned vehicle hose mounting assembly, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0053] 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.
