Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric vehicle rain canopy accessories, and in particular relates to a quick-installation buckle structure for connecting the transparent baffle of the rain canopy to the front windshield bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Existing electric vehicle rain canopies typically connect the transparent panel to the windshield bracket using screws and fasteners, which has the following drawbacks:
[0003] Damage to structural integrity: Making screw holes in the windshield bracket will weaken the strength of the tube body, and long-term use will easily cause stress concentration at the hole position, leading to bracket breakage.
[0004] Functional limitations: When the front stop bracket is designed as a telescopic tube structure to achieve the folding function, the screws that run through the tube will hinder the free extension and retraction of the tube.
[0005] Cumbersome to operate: Installation requires tools, and disassembly requires removing screws one by one, which cannot meet the needs of frequent folding and retraction.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a snap-on solution that does not damage the support structure, is compatible with telescopic functions, and supports quick assembly and disassembly. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a snap-fit structure for screwless installation, which solves the problems of weakened bracket strength, limited telescopic function and low assembly / disassembly efficiency.
[0008] To achieve this objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0009] A mounting clip for a transparent baffle on an electric vehicle rain canopy includes:
[0010] The buckle body has a semi-circular clamp at one end for engaging and fixing to the outer periphery of the front windshield bracket tube.
[0011] The other end of the buckle body is provided with a large cap, the base of which is connected to the buckle body. The size of the cap head is larger than its base, and a gap groove is formed between the cap head and the buckle body.
[0012] The large cap is used to pass through the mounting hole on the transparent baffle.
[0013] Furthermore, a detachable insert is provided in the gap groove. The width of the insert is greater than the width of the mounting hole. When the insert is inserted into the gap groove, the insert prevents the cap from exiting the mounting hole.
[0014] Furthermore, hooks are provided on both sides of the end of the card facing the insertion direction of the gap groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer side of the hook forms an inwardly inclined guide slope.
[0016] Furthermore, the large cap is set on the outer circumference of the semi-circular clamp part, and its position can be set within the range of 0-120 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise rotation along the circumference of the clamp part, starting from the first end of the opening end of the clamp part.
[0017] Furthermore, the semi-circular clamp portion has outwardly extending lugs on one or both sides of the opening end.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] Structural reliability:
[0020] This utility model uses a snap-fit clamp to hold the front support bracket to avoid opening holes and maintain the integrity of the tube body; the cap head and the transparent baffle mounting hole form a surface contact, which disperses local stress and reduces the risk of cracking at the edge of the transparent baffle hole.
[0021] Function compatibility:
[0022] The buckle-type external bracket does not penetrate the tube body, ensuring that the telescopic tube slides freely and the folding function operates normally.
[0023] Ease of use:
[0024] To install, simply tilt the cap, insert it into the mounting hole, and then push it straight to complete the installation. The entire process can be done by hand.
[0025] To remove the clip, press the lug on the clamp to make it spring open, then remove the clip without tools.
[0026] In the preferred embodiment, the hook and guide bevel of the card insertion device simplify the insertion and removal operation, lock quickly, and prevent the buckle from coming off.
[0027] Lifespan extension:
[0028] The buckle is made of elastic plastic, eliminating the problem of thread wear; the insert card limits the displacement of the cap, reducing fretting wear of the transparent baffle mounting holes under vibration, and extending service life. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a mounting buckle for a transparent baffle of an electric vehicle canopy includes: a buckle body, injection molded from engineering plastic, with a semi-circular clamp 11 at one end for clamping and fixing to the outer periphery of the front baffle bracket 40 tube, and a large cap at the other end. The root 21 of the large cap is connected to the buckle body, and the size of the cap head portion 22 is larger than the root 21. A gap groove 23 of height H is formed between the cap head portion 22 and the buckle body. The transparent baffle 50 has a mounting hole 51 that mates with the large cap. The large cap passes through the mounting hole 51. The mounting hole 51 is longer than the length of the cap head portion 22 in the vertical direction and shorter than the width of the cap head portion 22 in the horizontal direction. This design facilitates the passage of the cap head portion 22 through the mounting hole 51 without easily detaching it. It also increases the contact area between the buckle body and the transparent baffle 50, making the edge strength of the mounting hole 51 more stable and durable. During installation, first tilt the buckle so that one side of the cap head portion 22 passes through the mounting hole 51, and insert one edge of the mounting hole 51 into the gap groove 23. Then push the buckle forward so that the other side of the cap head portion 22 passes through the mounting hole 51. At this time, the transparent baffle 50 is clamped between the cap head portion 22 and the clamp 11, so that the transparent baffle 50 is connected and fixed to the buckle. Then press the outer circumference of the clamp 11 to make the clamp 11 elastically open and fasten to the outer circumference of the tube of the front baffle bracket 40. Then elastically close and tighten the front baffle bracket 40 to complete the connection and installation of the transparent baffle 50 and the front baffle bracket 40. During disassembly, simply press the lug 12 on one side of the opening end of the clamp 11 to make the clamp 11 disengage from the outer circumference of the tube of the front baffle bracket 40. After the buckle is disengaged from the front baffle bracket 40, it can ensure that the telescopic tube of the front baffle bracket 40 can slide freely, realizing the telescopic and folding function. The operation is convenient and quick, and no tools are required.
[0038] like Figure 3 , 6As shown in Figure 7, in a preferred embodiment, a detachable insert 30 is provided in the gap groove 23. The width of the insert 30 is greater than the width of the mounting hole 51. When the insert 30 is inserted into the gap groove 23, it can form a lateral constraint, increase the contact area between the head part 22 of the cap and the transparent baffle 50, and effectively prevent the head part 22 of the cap from coming out of the mounting hole 51. In particular, when the buckle is pulled to disengage from the front support bracket 40 tube, the transparent baffle 50 around the mounting hole 51 undergoes a large elastic deformation, but still maintains the constraint, preventing the cap from coming out of the mounting hole 51.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the insert card 30 has hooks 31 on both sides of one end facing the insertion direction of the gap groove 23. The outer side of the hook 31 forms an inwardly inclined guide slope 32, which facilitates the insertion of the insert card 30. The hook 31 enables the insert card 30 to lock onto the outer wall of the base 21 of the cap after it is inserted into place, achieving quick locking and easy removal.
[0040] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the large cap is located on the outer circumference of the semi-circular clamp part 11. Taking the first end of the opening of the clamp part 11 as the starting point, its position can be set within a range of 0-120 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise rotation along the circumference of the clamp part 11. Setting the opening of the clamp part 11 within this range makes it convenient for the driver to operate and disassemble the buckle with one hand from inside the canopy. In specific implementation, the lug 12 of the operating end is located at the second end away from the large cap. Taking the contact point of the large cap on the transparent baffle 50 as the fulcrum, the outer circumference of the clamp part 11 is pressed inward to fasten the clamp part 11 to the outer circumference of the front windshield bracket 40 tube to complete the installation. The lug 12 on the opening side of the clamp part 11 is pressed outward to make the clamp part 11 elastically open and detach from the front windshield bracket 40 tube, making the operation easy and effortless. If the range exceeds 120 degrees, the lug 12 of the operating end is closer to the large cap, making the operation more difficult and inconvenient.
[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the semi-circular clamp part 11 has outwardly extending lugs 12 on one or both sides of the opening end, which facilitates the hand to fasten or pry open the buckle body, so that it can be installed on the front windshield bracket 40 tube or detached from the tube. As a preferred embodiment, a large cap is provided on one side of the opening end of the clamp part 11, and lugs 12 are provided on the other side. This not only saves materials and simplifies the structure, but also makes it more convenient and less strenuous to install and remove the buckle because the lugs 12 at the operating end are farther away from the large cap.
