Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamp technology, and in particular to a quick-connect clamp for an air intake pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most commercial vehicles use two main types of intake pipe connections: flange connections and clamp connections. For the former, flange connections offer better sealing and can effectively solve the problem of engine exhaust leakage. However, the assembly structure adds flanges, gaskets, bolts, nuts, and other fasteners, which directly leads to increased system weight, higher component costs, and more complex assembly processes, which is not conducive to vehicle lightweighting and cost control.

[0003] However, existing clamps are quite elastic, requiring operators to use one hand to hold the clamp while connecting it to the intake pipe with the other, which is quite strenuous. Furthermore, prolonged use of the clamp can cause hand pain, leading to the tool slipping from the operator's hand and the clamp releasing pressure, potentially injuring them. Additionally, the sharp upper part of the clamp can come into contact with other wiring or pipes during vehicle bumps, causing damage. Therefore, this application provides a quick-connect intake pipe clamp to meet these requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a quick-connect clamp for the intake pipe to solve the problems of existing clamps being difficult to operate and the upper part of the clamp coming into contact with other lines or pipes due to bumps during vehicle driving, which would scratch those lines or pipes.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An intake pipe quick-connect clamp includes a clamp body, a fixing head at one end of the clamp body, a connecting head at the other end of the clamp body, a soft pad inside the clamp body, an auxiliary component slidably connected inside the fixing head, and a protective component installed on one side of the fixing head.

[0007] Optionally, the auxiliary component includes a moving ring, a clamp, irregular teeth, and a pointed end. The clamp is slidably connected to the surface of the moving ring, the irregular teeth are provided inside the moving ring, and a pointed end is provided at one end of the moving ring.

[0008] Optionally, the clamp has a limiting tooth inside, which meshes with the non-standard tooth.

[0009] Optionally, the protective assembly includes a protective shaft seat, a protective seat, a protective cover, and a limiting rod. The protective seat is rotatably connected inside the protective shaft seat, a protective cover is provided on one side of the protective seat, and a limiting rod is slidably connected inside the protective cover.

[0010] Optionally, a reinforcing rib is provided on one side of the protective shaft seat, and a limiting head is provided at one end of the limiting rod.

[0011] Optionally, the connector has a limiting hole inside and a limiting groove inside.

[0012] Optionally, the number of soft pads is multiple, and the multiple soft pads are respectively located inside the clamp body near both sides.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing head has a groove inside, and the coupling head is located inside the groove.

[0014] Optionally, the pad is made of rubber, and the clamp body is made of spring steel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the above solution, by setting up auxiliary components, the fixed head and the mating head are moved towards the clamp body until they contact each other. The moving ring is then tightened, causing the clamp to move rearward. Due to the engagement of the limiting teeth and the irregular teeth, the moving ring and the clamp clamp the fixed head and the mating head, thus opening the clamp body. This facilitates the operator in fixing the clamp body to the intake pipe and also makes it easy to remove the clamp body from the intake pipe. After connecting the clamp body to the intake pipe, the operator uses a knife to cut the moving ring, releasing the pressure on the clamp body and allowing it to connect with the intake pipe. The pipe is firmly secured, reducing the strain on the operator who previously needed to use a tool to hold the clamp with one hand and connect it to the intake pipe with the other due to the clamp's high elasticity. This was not only laborious but also prevented the operator from losing the tool due to hand pain from prolonged use, which could cause the clamp to release pressure and bounce back, potentially injuring the operator. The solution achieves the effect of opening the clamp body with a tool and then securing it with an auxiliary component, freeing the operator's hands and facilitating a quick connection between the clamp body and the intake pipe.

[0017] By incorporating a protective component, after the clamp body is fixed to the intake pipe, the protective cover is rotated to cover the upper part of the fixing head and the connecting head. Then, the limiting rod passes through the limiting hole to fix the protective cover. The soft pad protects the fixed intake pipe, reducing the risk of the intake pipe breaking due to excessive clamp elasticity. At the same time, since the upper part of the clamp is relatively sharp, it may come into contact with other lines or pipes and scratch them when the car is bumpy. This achieves the effect of protecting the connected intake pipe with a soft pad, and covering the fixing head and connecting head of the clamp body with the protective component to prevent them from directly contacting other lines or pipes.

[0031] like Figures 1-4As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a quick-connect clamp for an air intake pipe, including a clamp body 1 made of spring steel. One end of the clamp body 1 has a fixing head 2, and the other end has a connecting head 3. The fixing head 2 has a groove inside, and the connecting head 3 is located inside the groove. The connecting head 3 has a limiting hole and a limiting groove inside. Multiple soft pads 4, made of rubber, are located inside the clamp body 1 near both sides. An auxiliary component 5 is slidably connected inside the fixing head 2. The auxiliary component 5 includes a moving ring 501, a clamp 502, and a special-shaped tooth 50. 3. A clamp 502 is slidably connected to the surface of the moving ring 501 and the pointed end 504. The moving ring 501 has a special tooth 503 inside and a pointed end 504 at one end. The clamp 502 has a limiting tooth inside, and the limiting tooth and the special tooth 503 mesh with each other. A protective component 6 is installed on one side of the fixed head 2. The protective component 6 includes a protective shaft seat 601, a protective seat 602, a protective cover 603 and a limiting rod 604. The protective seat 602 is rotatably connected inside the protective shaft seat 601. The protective cover 603 is provided on one side of the protective seat 602. The limiting rod 604 is slidably connected inside the protective cover 603. A reinforcing rib is provided on one side of the protective shaft seat 601. A limiting head is provided at one end of the limiting rod 604.

[0032] By moving the fixing head 2 and the coupling head 3 towards the clamp body 1 until they come into contact, and by tightening the moving ring 501, the clamp 502 moves rearward. Due to the engagement of the limiting teeth and the special teeth 503, the moving ring 501 and the clamp 502 clamp the fixing head 2 and the coupling head 3, thereby opening the clamp body 1. This makes it easier for the operator to fix the clamp body 1 onto the intake pipe and also easier to remove the clamp body 1 from the intake pipe. After connecting the clamp body 1 to the intake pipe, the operator can use a knife to cut the moving ring 501 to release the clamp body 1. The pressure is firmly held in place by the intake pipe, reducing the strain caused by the large elasticity of the clamp, which requires the operator to use one hand to hold the clamp and the other hand to connect the intake pipe. This reduces the strain and the risk of the operator's hands becoming sore from holding the clamp for a long time, causing the tool to slip from their hand. This could result in the clamp releasing pressure and snapping back at the operator, causing injury. The solution achieves the effect of opening the clamp body 1 with a tool and then fixing the clamp body 1 with the auxiliary component 5, thus freeing the operator's hands and facilitating a quick connection between the clamp body 1 and the intake pipe.

[0033] After fixing the clamp body 1 to the intake pipe, the protective cover 603 is rotated to cover the upper part of the fixing head 2 and the connector 3. Then, the limiting rod 604 is inserted through the limiting hole to fix the protective cover 603. The soft pad 4 can protect the fixed intake pipe, reducing the possibility of the intake pipe being broken due to excessive clamp elasticity. At the same time, since the upper part of the clamp is relatively sharp, it may come into contact with other lines or pipes when the car is bumpy, causing damage to other lines or pipes. The soft pad 4 protects the connected intake pipe, and the protective component 6 covers the fixing head 2 and connector 3 of the clamp body 1, preventing them from directly contacting other lines or pipes.

[0034] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: By moving the fixed head 2 and the mating head 3 towards the clamp body 1 respectively until the fixed head 2 and the mating head 3 come into contact with each other, the moving ring 501 is tightened, causing the clamp 502 to move to the rear end. Due to the engagement of the limiting teeth and the special teeth 503, the moving ring 501 and the clamp 502 clamp the fixed head 2 and the mating head 3, thereby opening the clamp body 1, making it easier for the operator to fix the clamp body 1 on the intake pipe, and also making it easier to... The clamp body 1 is removed from the intake pipe. After connecting the clamp body 1 to the intake pipe, the operator uses a knife to cut the moving ring 501, which releases the pressure of the clamp body 1 and firmly clamps it to the intake pipe. After fixing the clamp body 1 to the intake pipe, the protective cover 603 is rotated to cover the upper part of the fixing head 2 and the connector 3. Then, the limiting rod 604 is inserted through the limiting hole to fix the protective cover 603. The soft pad 4 can protect the fixed intake pipe.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
