[0032] The tube structure 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to Figures 1-6.
[0033] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the tube structure 10 includes: a base 1 and a tube. The base 1 is adapted to be detachably connected to the structural component. Multiple tubes are provided, and all multiple tubes are connected to the base 1 and are interconnected. At least one of the multiple tubes is a first tube 2. The base 1 has a first side surface, and the first side surface has the first tube 2. The first tube 2 is adapted to pass through the tube hole of the structural component. The outer periphery of the first tube 2 is provided with a pre-hanging member, which is adapted to cooperate with the tube hole so that the tube structure is pre-installed on the structural component.
[0034] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4-6, in a specific example, the structural component can be a vehicle floor. The vehicle floor has pipe holes, and the first pipe 2 passes through the pipe holes. By setting pipe holes in the vehicle floor and passing the first pipe 2 through the pipe holes, the fluid medium inside the vehicle floor can flow out to the outside through the first pipe 2. Furthermore, by arranging the pipe structure 10 on the vehicle floor, the space of the vehicle floor can be better utilized, which is beneficial to the layout of the pipeline.
[0035] Exemplary examples show that wire harnesses may also be installed within the pipe structure 10, and this application does not impose any limitations. The following description in this application uses the example of fluid flowing within the pipe structure 10, but it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0036] Furthermore, by setting pre-attached parts, when the first tube 2 passes through the tube hole of the structural component, it can be hung on the tube hole by the pre-attached parts, so that the entire tube structure is pre-installed on the structural component. Thus, the detachable connection between the base and the structural component can be achieved without clamping or holding the tube structure by hand. Even in a small space, the assembly difficulty can be reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved.
[0037] Therefore, according to the tube structure of this utility model embodiment, by setting a pre-hanging part, when the first tube 2 passes through the tube hole of the structural component, it can be hung on the tube hole by the pre-hanging part, so that the entire tube structure is pre-installed on the structural component. Thus, without clamping or holding the tube structure by hand, the detachable connection between the base and the structural component can be realized. Even in a small space, the assembly difficulty can still be reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in FIG4, the pre-attached component includes a protrusion 52, which is used to make an interference fit with the pipe hole when the first tube body 2 is engaged with the pipe hole.
[0039] In other words, when the tube structure 10 is connected to the vehicle floor, the first tube 2 can be provided with a tube hole. At this time, the protrusion 52 can be interference-fitted with the tube hole, so that the tube structure 10 is pre-hung on the vehicle floor. Then, the tube structure 10 and the vehicle floor can be fixedly connected by the cooperation of the first fastener 51 and the second fastener, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least two protrusions 52 are provided, and at least two protrusions 52 are arranged circumferentially around the first tube body 2.
[0041] For example, there may be two, three, four, etc. of the protrusion 52. This application does not limit the number. When there are multiple protrusions 52, the multiple protrusions 52 are evenly spaced apart, which can make the tube structure 10 more stable when pre-hanging.
[0042] For example, as shown in FIG4, two protrusions 52 may be provided, and the two protrusions 52 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first tube body 2.
[0043] For example, the protrusion 52 may also be provided with a hook, so that the tube structure 10 can be better pre-attached to the vehicle floor.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tube structure 10 further includes a sealing element 4 disposed on the first side of the seat 1 for sealing the assembly gap between the seat 1 and the structural component.
[0045] For example, the seal 4 is disposed between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor to seal the assembly gap between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor. The seal 4 is constructed as an annulus surrounding the outer periphery of the first tube 2. That is, the assembly gap between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor is sealed by providing the seal 4. It should be noted that the seal 4 is not disposed between the first tube 2 and the pipe hole, but rather, by constructing the seal 4 as an annulus surrounding the outer periphery of the first tube 2, a sealing space is created between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor. The pipe hole and the first tube 2 are located in the area of the sealing space, thereby sealing over a larger area. This allows the seal 4 to achieve a better seal. Furthermore, since the seal 4 is disposed between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor, the seal 4 itself has a certain deformation capacity, which can buffer the interaction force between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor, which is beneficial for the assembly of the seat 1 and the vehicle floor.
[0046] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the tube structure 10 is provided between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor by means of the sealing element 4, which can provide a large range of sealing between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor, resulting in a good sealing effect. It also helps to buffer the interaction force between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor, which is beneficial for the assembly between the seat 1 and the vehicle floor.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in FIG4, the first side has a groove 11 and a sealing groove 12. The sealing groove 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the groove 11, the first tube 2 is located in the groove 11, and part of the sealing member 4 is located in the sealing groove 12.
[0048] Referring to Figure 4, when the end of the first tube 2 is located in the groove 11, even if the first tube 2 is damaged and leaks, or if fluid medium leaks from the tube hole, the leaked fluid medium can be stored in the groove 11. Even if the groove 11 is full of leaked fluid medium, it can be well sealed by the seal 4 in the sealing space constructed by the seal 4, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0049] By setting the sealing groove 12, the assembly of the seal 4 can be facilitated, the assembly efficiency can be improved, and after the seal 4 is set in the sealing groove 12, it is not easily corroded by the fluid medium leaked in the groove 11, which helps to extend the service life of the seal 4.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4-6, the tube structure 10 further includes a first fastener 51 and a second fastener. One end of the first fastener 51 is fixed in the area enclosed by the sealing groove 12, and the other end is adapted to pass through the fastening hole of the structure to be fixedly engaged with the second fastener.
[0051] For example, the first fastener 51 can be a bolt, and the bolt head can be fixed on the base 1. For example, if the tube structure 10 is an injection molded part, the bolt head can be pre-embedded in the tube structure 10 during injection molding. When assembling the tube structure 10, after the bolt passes through the fastening hole, the second fastener is a nut. The cooperation between the nut and the bolt can better connect the tube structure 10 to the structural component.
[0052] In the above example, by fixing one end of the first fastener 51 in the area enclosed by the sealing groove 12, the seal 4 can better seal the first fastener 51 in the sealing space and better protect the first fastener 51.
[0053] For example, multiple first fasteners 51 are provided, and multiple fastening holes are also provided accordingly. This application does not limit the number of first fasteners 51.
[0054] For example, three first fasteners 51 can be provided, and the three first fasteners 51 are arranged in a triangle, which is beneficial to the connection between the tube structure 10 and the structural component, and also beneficial to the sealing between the seat 1 and the structural component by the sealing element 4.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple first tube bodies 2 are provided, and the multiple first tube bodies 2 are arranged at intervals. Multiple tube holes are provided, and the multiple tube holes correspond to and cooperate with the multiple first tube bodies 2 respectively.
[0056] In other words, multiple first tube bodies 2 can be provided according to actual needs, and each first tube body 2 can be matched with the corresponding tube hole. Furthermore, protrusions 52 can be provided on the outer periphery of each first tube body 2, which is conducive to the tube structure 10 being pre-attached to the structural component.
[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in Figures 1-6, at least one of the plurality of tubes is a second tube 3, and the base 1 also has a second side opposite to the first side. The second side is provided with the second tube 3, and the plurality of first tubes 2 are all connected to the second tube 3. The second tube 3 includes a first tube segment 31, a second tube segment 32 and a third tube segment 33. The first tube segment 31 is connected to one first tube 2, the second tube segment 32 is connected to another first tube 2, and the third tube segment 33 is connected between the first tube segment 31 and the second tube segment 32. The diameter of the first tube segment 31 and the diameter of the second tube segment 32 are both greater than the diameter of the third tube segment 33.
[0058] In other words, the fluid medium in the first pipe body 2 can enter the second pipe body 3, or the fluid medium in the second pipe body 3 can enter the first pipe body 2. Furthermore, when the fluid medium in the second pipe body 3 is flowing, by setting the third pipe section 33, the fluid medium between the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 can be better throttled.
[0059] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3, the third pipe segment 33 has a first transition section 331 at the end near the first pipe segment 31, and the diameter of the first transition section 331 gradually decreases in the direction from the first pipe segment 31 to the third pipe segment 33.
[0060] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3, the third pipe segment 33 has a second transition segment 332 at the end near the second pipe segment 32, and the diameter of the second transition segment 332 gradually decreases in the direction from the second pipe segment 32 to the third pipe segment 33.
[0061] In the above example, by setting the first transition section 331 and the second transition section 332, the fluid medium can flow more stably in the second pipe body 3, which can reduce the turbulence caused by the throttling of the third pipe section 33.
[0062] In some embodiments of this invention, as shown in Figures 1-6, the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are arranged at an angle. This allows for a better modification of the flow direction of the fluid medium within the second pipe body 3, which is beneficial for the layout of the fluid medium's flow path.
[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tube structure 10 is an integrally formed part.
[0064] For example, the tube structure 10 is an injection molded part. The tube structure 10 formed by injection molding can adjust its internal flow path and shape according to actual needs, which is flexible. In addition, when the third tube section 33 requires different throttling capabilities, the production cost can be reduced by adjusting the position or size of the injection mold core.
[0065] For example, the pipe structure 10 is a four-way connector, that is, there are two first pipe bodies 2 and one second pipe body 3, and the two first pipe bodies 2 and one second pipe body 3 constitute a four-way structure.
[0066] This utility model also proposes a vehicle having the tube structure 10 of the above embodiments.
[0067] The vehicle according to the present utility model includes a structural component and a pipe structure. The structural component includes a vehicle floor. By providing the pipe structure 10 of the above embodiment, the pipes inside the vehicle can be better arranged, and the pipe arrangement is conducive to improving the sealing performance.
[0068] For example, the structural component can also be other panel structures of the vehicle, such as side panels, etc., and this application does not limit it.
[0069] The tube structure, other components of the vehicle, and operation according to the embodiments of this utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
