Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a pipe clamp assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional pipe clamps can only secure a single pipe or a small number of pipes. When multiple pipes of different types or diameters need to be secured simultaneously, multiple clamps are required. This not only increases the complexity and cost of installation but also occupies more space, hindering layout optimization in space-constrained areas such as the vehicle's engine compartment and chassis. Furthermore, traditional pipe clamps are typically designed for specific pipe diameters. When upgrading or repairing pipes of different diameters, the existing clamps become incompatible, necessitating replacement with new clamps, thus increasing maintenance costs and time. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a pipe clamp assembly designed to fix multiple pipes of different types or diameters, thereby improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly. Furthermore, the elastic deformation capability of the elastic element can absorb the vibration of the pipe, thus effectively reducing noise.
[0004] This application also proposes a vehicle that includes the aforementioned pipe clamp assembly.
[0005] According to an embodiment of this application, a pipe clamp assembly includes: a pipe clamp body having a plurality of pipe holes; and an elastic component including a plurality of elastic elements, each elastic element being disposed in one-to-one within a plurality of pipe holes, each elastic element having a fixing hole, and at least two of the pipe holes having different diameters.
[0006] According to the embodiments of this application, the pipe clamp assembly has multiple pipe holes in the pipe clamp body, and the elastic component includes multiple elastic elements, which are respectively disposed in the multiple pipe holes. Each elastic element has a fixing hole, and the elastic deformation of the elastic element allows the fixing hole to adapt to pipes of different diameters. By having at least two pipe holes with different diameters, the pipe holes with different diameters can adapt to a wider range of pipe diameters, enabling the pipe clamp assembly to fix multiple pipes of different types or different diameters, improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly. Furthermore, the elastic deformation capability of the elastic elements can absorb the vibration of the pipes, thereby effectively reducing noise.
[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the pipe clamp body includes: a main body; a clamping plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the main body and the other end is detachably connected to the main body, the clamping plate and the main body defining the pipe hole; the elastic element includes a first elastic portion located on the main body and a second elastic portion located on the clamping plate, the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion defining the fixing hole. This allows the pipe clamp assembly to have an open state and a closed state, thereby enabling pipe connection and disassembly.
[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the plurality of pipe holes defined between the main body and the clamping plate are arranged along the length direction of the connection line between the main body and the clamping plate. This allows the pipes located in the plurality of fixing holes to be arranged along the length direction of the connection line between the main body and the clamping plate, so that the multiple pipes extend in parallel, are neatly arranged, have a reasonable layout, effectively avoid crossing and tangling, and facilitate installation and maintenance.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, along the length direction of the connection line between the main body and the clamping plate, two adjacent first elastic parts are connected by a first connecting segment, the first connecting segment being located on the side of the main body facing the clamping plate; along the length direction of the connection line between the main body and the clamping plate, two adjacent second elastic parts are connected by a second connecting segment, the second connecting segment being located on the side of the clamping plate facing the main body. Thus, this arrangement allows multiple first elastic parts to be connected by the first connecting segment to form a single piece, enabling multiple first elastic parts to be installed together into the pipe clamp body. Similarly, this arrangement allows multiple second elastic parts to be connected by the second connecting segment to form a single piece, enabling multiple second elastic parts to be installed together into the pipe clamp body, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.
[0010] In some embodiments of this application, there are multiple clamping plates arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body. This allows the pipe clamp body to have multiple clamping plates arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body according to different application environments or different numbers of pipes, thereby improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, there are two clamping plates, each located on opposite sides of the main body along a first direction. The two clamping plates have the same number of fixing holes as the main body and are respectively arranged opposite each other along the first direction. The first elastic portions of the two elastic members opposite each other along the first direction are connected by a third connecting section. This allows for the rational and orderly fixing of multiple pipes within a limited area, optimizing spatial layout, avoiding chaotic pipework, optimizing the overall layout, effectively preventing cross-entanglement, and facilitating installation and maintenance.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the clamping plate has clamping feet, the main body has a limiting groove that mates with the clamping feet, and the side wall of the limiting groove has a limiting block that abuts against the clamping feet. The clamping feet and the limiting groove work together to allow the other end of the clamping plate to be detachably connected to the main body along its length, thereby enabling the pipe clamp assembly to have both an open and closed state.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the pipe clamp body has a mounting base adapted to extend into a mounting hole in the vehicle body. The mounting base includes a seat body and elastic spring arms located on opposite sides of the seat body. Along the insertion direction of the mounting base, the two spring arms are inclined towards each other. One end of each spring arm along its length is connected to the seat body, and the other end is spaced apart from the seat body and adapted to abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole. This achieves the limitation of the pipe clamp assembly, restricts the rotation of the pipe clamp assembly, ensures the stability of the pipe clamp assembly's position within the vehicle, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the pipe clamp assembly on the pipeline and improving overall reliability.
[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall surface of the fixing hole has a protrusion protruding towards the central axis of the fixing hole. There are multiple protrusions, spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing hole. The multiple protrusions and recesses on the inner wall surface of the fixing hole effectively increase the friction between the pipe and the pipe located within the fixing hole, effectively preventing the pipe from sliding within the groove and improving reliability.
[0015] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application includes the above-described pipe clamp assembly.
[0016] According to the vehicle embodiment of this application, a pipe clamp assembly is provided. The pipe clamp body has multiple pipe holes, and the elastic component includes multiple elastic elements, each corresponding to one of the multiple pipe holes. Each elastic element has a fixing hole. The elastic deformation of the elastic element allows the fixing hole to adapt to pipes of different diameters. By having at least two pipe holes with different diameters, the pipe holes with different diameters can adapt to a wider range of pipe diameters. This allows the pipe clamp assembly to fix multiple pipes of different types or diameters, thereby enabling the reasonable layout of multiple pipes within the effective space, reducing the complexity of pipe installation, and facilitating the management of multiple pipes. This improves the reliability and safety of the vehicle. At the same time, under complex operating conditions, the pipe clamp assembly can absorb pipe vibration through the elastic deformation capability of the elastic elements, thereby effectively reducing noise and improving the overall NVH performance of the vehicle.

[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0028] The pipe clamp assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the pipe clamp assembly 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes a pipe clamp body 1 and an elastic component 2. The pipe clamp body 1 has a plurality of pipe holes 11, and the elastic component 2 includes a plurality of elastic elements 21, which are respectively disposed in the plurality of pipe holes 11. Each elastic element 21 has a fixing hole 211, and at least two fixing holes 211 have different diameters.
[0030] Therefore, each pipe hole 11 on the pipe clamp body 1 is provided with an elastic element 21, which has a fixing hole 211 for accommodating and fixing the pipe. The elastic deformation of the elastic element 21 allows the fixing hole 211 to expand the pipe diameter adaptability range to accommodate pipes of different diameters. Furthermore, by having at least two fixing holes 211 with different diameters, the pipe diameter range that the fixing holes 211 with different diameters can accommodate is even wider, allowing the pipe clamp assembly 100 to fix multiple pipes of different types or diameters, improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly 100. During assembly, operators can easily place the pipe into the fixing hole 211 without using additional tools or making complex adjustments, reducing assembly difficulty. In addition, under complex operating conditions, the elastic deformation capability of the elastic element 21 can absorb pipe vibration, thereby effectively reducing noise.
[0031] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The diagram shows six holes 11 for illustrative purposes, but those skilled in the art, after reading the following technical solution, will obviously understand that the solution can be applied to technical solutions with two, three, or more holes 11, which also falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] Compared to existing technologies that use multiple pipe clamps to fix multiple pipes of different types or diameters, this application can fix multiple pipes of different types or diameters with a single pipe clamp assembly 100, effectively solving the problem of limited fixing capacity of existing pipe clamps. This reduces the complexity of pipe installation, allows multiple pipes to be fixed in an orderly manner, facilitates the management of multiple pipes, improves the reliability of the pipe clamp assembly 100, reduces the space occupied by the pipe clamp assembly 100, optimizes the layout of the device using the pipe clamp assembly 100, facilitates miniaturization, and allows for the reasonable layout of multiple pipes in a limited space.
[0033] Meanwhile, compared with the existing pipe clamps where the fixing hole 211 has an unchanged diameter, this application uses the elastic deformation of the elastic element 21 to make the fixing hole 211 adaptable to pipes of different diameters, effectively solving the problem of poor adaptability of existing pipe clamps. When the pipe is upgraded or repaired and replaced with pipes of different diameters, the pipe clamp assembly 100 of this application can still be adapted without replacement, effectively reducing maintenance costs.
[0034] Specifically, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 of this application is applied to a vehicle, the number of pipe holes 11 can be set according to the number of pipes such as air conditioning pipes, brake pipes, fuel pipes, air pipes and air suspension vacuum pipes required by the vehicle, and different diameter pipe holes 11 can be set according to the pipe diameter of the required pipes.
[0035] Therefore, multiple pipes of different types or diameters can be fixed by a single pipe clamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the complexity of pipe installation. Multiple pipes can be fixed in an orderly manner, facilitating the management of multiple pipes, improving the reliability of the pipe clamp assembly 100 of this application, and reducing the space occupied by the pipe clamp assembly 100. This optimizes the layout of space-constrained areas such as the engine compartment and chassis of the vehicle, which is conducive to vehicle miniaturization. At the same time, when subjected to complex operating conditions such as vibration, bumps, acceleration, and braking during driving, the pipe clamp assembly 100 can absorb the vibration of the pipes through the elastic deformation capability of the elastic element 21, thereby effectively reducing noise and improving the overall NVH performance of the vehicle.
[0036] Optionally, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, the diameter of the pipe hole 11 can be 5mm-13mm to accommodate the pipe diameters of different pipes in the vehicle.
[0037] Optionally, the pipe clamp body 1 is made of engineering plastic material composed of PA66 and glass fiber. Since engineering plastic has high strength, good corrosion resistance, insulation and certain flexibility, it can adapt to the complex working environment of vehicles. At the same time, by adding glass fiber to the main material PA66, it can be used for pipe fixing scenarios with high strength requirements and high temperature resistance.
[0038] Optionally, the material of the elastic component 2 is rubber, so that the elastic element 21 is formed as a rubber element.
[0039] According to the embodiments of this application, the pipe clamp assembly 100 has a plurality of pipe holes 11 in the pipe clamp body 1, and the elastic component 2 includes a plurality of elastic elements 21, which are respectively disposed in the plurality of pipe holes 11. The elastic elements 21 have fixing holes 211, so that the elastic deformation of the elastic elements 21 allows the fixing holes 211 to adapt to pipes of different diameters. By having at least two pipe holes 11 with different diameters, the pipe holes 11 with different diameters can adapt to a wider range of pipe diameters. This enables the pipe clamp assembly 100 to fix multiple pipes of different types or different diameters, improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly 100. Furthermore, the elastic deformation capability of the elastic elements 21 can absorb the vibration of the pipes, thereby effectively reducing noise.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the pipe clamp body 1 includes a main body 12 and a clamping plate 13. One end of the clamping plate 13 is rotatably connected to the main body 12 along its length, and the other end is detachably connected to the main body 12. A pipe hole 11 is defined between the clamping plate 13 and the main body 12. The elastic member 21 includes a first elastic part 212 located on the main body 12 and a second elastic part 213 located on the clamping plate 13. The first elastic part 212 and the second elastic part 213 define a fixing hole 211.
[0041] Thus, by rotatably connecting one end of the clamping plate 13 to the main body 12 along its length and detachably connecting the other end to the main body 12, the pipe clamp assembly 100 can be in both an open and closed state, thereby enabling pipe installation and disassembly. Specifically, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 is in the open state, one end of the clamping plate 13 along its length is not connected to the main body 12, and the pipe can be placed on the first elastic part 212. Rotating the clamping plate 13 causes the pipe clamp assembly 100 to be in the closed state, and the clamping plate 13 is detachably connected to the main body 12 along its length. The first elastic part 212 and the second elastic part 213 define the fixing hole 211, thereby enabling pipe installation.
[0042] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the part where the main body 12 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 13 is relatively thin, which facilitates the rotation of the clamping plate 13 to achieve opening and closing, and the flexible structure is easier to operate, making it easier to use the pipe clamp assembly 100.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of holes 11 defined between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13 are along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 5 (As shown in the second direction). Thus, multiple pipe holes 11 are arranged along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, so that the elastic elements 21 located in the multiple pipe holes 11 are arranged along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13. This achieves the arrangement of pipes located in the multiple fixing holes 211 along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, so that multiple pipes extend in parallel, are neatly arranged, and have a reasonable layout, effectively avoiding cross-entanglement and facilitating installation and maintenance.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, along the length of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, two adjacent first elastic parts 212 are connected by a first connecting section 22, which is located on the side of the main body 12 facing the clamping plate 13. This arrangement allows multiple first elastic parts 212 to be connected by the first connecting section 22 to form a single piece, enabling them to be installed together into the pipe clamp body 1, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, during the production of the pipe clamp assembly 100, this single piece can be formed by embedding and applying adhesive to the pipe clamp body 1.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, along the length of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, two adjacent second elastic parts 213 are connected by a second connecting section 23, which is located on the side of the clamping plate 13 facing the main body 12. This arrangement allows multiple second elastic parts 213 to be connected by the second connecting section 23 to form a single piece, enabling them to be installed together into the pipe clamp body 1, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, during the production of the pipe clamp assembly 100, this single piece can be formed by embedding and applying adhesive to the pipe clamp body 1.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, there are multiple clamping plates 13, which are arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body 12. This arrangement allows each clamping plate 13 to be rotatably connected to the main body 12 at one end along its length and detachably connected to the main body 12 at the other end. It also defines pipe holes 11 between each clamping plate 13 and the main body 12, enabling the pipe clamp body 1 to accommodate different application environments or different numbers of pipes by arranging multiple clamping plates 13 along the circumferential direction of the main body 12, thus improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly 100.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, there are two clamping plates 13, which are located on opposite sides of the main body 12 along the first direction. The two clamping plates 13 have the same number of fixing holes 211 defined by the main body 12 and are respectively arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. The first elastic parts 212 of the two elastic members 21 that are opposite to each other along the first direction are connected by a third connecting section 24.
[0048] Therefore, by having two clamping plates 13 and the main body 12 with the same number of fixing holes 211, which are respectively arranged opposite each other along the first direction, multiple pipes can be fixed in a reasonable and orderly manner within a limited area, optimizing the spatial layout, avoiding messy pipes, optimizing the overall layout, effectively avoiding cross-entanglement, and facilitating installation and maintenance. At the same time, the first elastic parts 212 of the two elastic members 21 that are opposite each other along the first direction are connected by the third connecting section 24 to form a whole piece. This whole piece can be installed into the pipe clamp body 1, thereby reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, two adjacent first elastic parts 212 are connected by a first connecting section 22. The first connecting section 22 is located on the side of the main body 12 facing the clamping plate 13, and the first elastic parts 212 of two elastic members 21 opposite each other along the first direction are connected by a third connecting section 24, so that the first elastic parts 212 on the main body 12 are formed into a single piece by the first connecting section 22 and the third connecting section 24. This single piece can be installed into the pipe clamp body 1 together, thereby reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, during the production process of the pipe clamp assembly 100, this single piece can be formed by embedding and injecting glue on the pipe clamp body 1.
[0050] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping plate 13 has a clamping foot 131, and the main body 12 has a limiting groove 121 that mates with the clamping foot 131. The side wall of the limiting groove 121 has a limiting block 1211 that abuts against the clamping foot 131. Thus, the clamping foot 131 and the limiting groove 121 work together to allow the other end of the clamping plate 13 in the length direction to be detachably connected to the main body 12, thereby enabling the pipe clamp assembly 100 to have open and closed states, thus facilitating pipe installation and disassembly. Simultaneously, with the clamping foot 131 located within the limiting groove 121, the limiting block 1211 on the side wall of the limiting groove 121 abuts against the clamping foot 131, thus limiting the clamping foot 131 and ensuring the reliable connection between the clamping plate 13 and the main body 12.
[0051] Furthermore, the limiting groove 121 has limiting blocks 1211 on both sides of the opposite side wall along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13. The two limiting blocks 1211 are spaced apart along the first direction. It can be understood that the clamping foot 131 is inserted into the limiting groove 121 along the first direction and abuts against the two limiting blocks 1211, thereby limiting the clamping foot 131 along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13, effectively preventing the clamping plate 13 from shaking along the length direction of the connection line between the main body 12 and the clamping plate 13 after clamping.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 As shown, the pipe clamp body 1 has a mounting base 122, which is adapted to extend into the mounting hole of the vehicle body. The mounting base 122 includes a seat body and elastic spring arms 1221 on opposite sides of the seat body. Along the extension direction of the mounting base 122, the two spring arms 1221 are inclined toward each other. One end of the spring arm 1221 in the length direction is connected to the seat body, and the other end is spaced apart from the seat body and adapted to abut against the inner wall surface of the mounting hole.
[0053] Therefore, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, the mounting base 122 is inserted into the mounting hole, and the two spring arms 1221, which are spaced apart from the base body, abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby limiting the pipe clamp assembly 100 and restricting its rotation. This ensures the stability of the pipe clamp assembly 100 in the vehicle, thus guaranteeing the fixing effect of the pipe clamp assembly 100 on the pipeline and improving overall reliability.
[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 As shown, the pipe clamp body 1 also has two spring feet 123, and the mounting base 122 is located between the two spring feet 123. The ends of the two spring feet 123 closest to each other are connected to the mounting base 122. Along the insertion direction of the mounting base 122, the two spring feet 123 are inclined in a direction away from each other, and the two spring feet 123 are adapted to abut against the vehicle body. Thus, after the mounting base 122 is inserted into the mounting hole, the pipe clamp assembly 100 is further fixed by abutting against the vehicle body through the two spring feet 123. At the same time, during the process of inserting the mounting base 122 into the mounting hole, along the insertion direction of the mounting base 122, the two spring feet 123 are inclined in a direction away from each other and abut against the vehicle body, thereby absorbing assembly tolerances to adapt to mounting holes of different depths and improve the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly 100.
[0055] Specifically, the mounting base 122 can extend into the mounting holes in the sheet metal of the engine compartment or the sheet metal of the bottom of the vehicle body. The mounting holes can be elongated oval holes to facilitate the insertion of the mounting base 122 and to facilitate the position adjustment of the mounting base 122 so that the pipe clamp assembly 100 can be accurately installed in the predetermined position, ensuring a perfect match with the overall structure of the vehicle and improving the accuracy and firmness of the installation.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall surface of the fixing hole 211 has a protrusion 2111 protruding towards the central axis of the fixing hole 211. There are multiple protrusions 2111, and the multiple protrusions 2111 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing hole 211.
[0057] It is understandable that multiple protrusions 2111 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing hole 211, so that a recess 2112 protruding away from the central axis of the fixing hole 211 is formed between any two adjacent protrusions. Thus, the multiple protrusions 2111 and multiple recesses 2112 on the inner wall of the fixing hole 211 effectively increase the friction between the pipe and the pipe located within the fixing hole 211, effectively preventing the pipe from sliding within the pipe groove, improving reliability. Furthermore, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle and subjected to complex operating conditions such as vibration, bumps, acceleration, and braking, the multiple protrusions 2111 and multiple recesses 2112 on the inner wall of the fixing hole 211 effectively increase the friction between the pipe and the pipe located within the fixing hole 211, effectively preventing displacement, loosening, or mutual friction of the pipe under complex operating conditions, thereby preventing pipe wear, leakage, and other safety hazards, affecting the normal operation of the vehicle, and even endangering the safety of the driver and passengers.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the pipe clamp body 1 includes a main body 12 and a clamping plate 13. One end of the clamping plate 13 is rotatably connected to the main body 12 along its length, and the other end is detachably connected to the main body 12. A pipe hole 11 is defined between the clamping plate 13 and the main body 12. The elastic member 21 includes a first elastic part 212 located on the main body 12 and a second elastic part 213 located on the clamping plate 13. The first elastic part 212 and the second elastic part 213 define a fixing hole 211.
[0059] Therefore, when the pipe clamp assembly 100 is in the open state, one end of the clamping plate 13 in the length direction is not connected to the main body 12. The pipe can be placed on the first elastic part 212, and the protrusion 2111 and / or recess 2112 on the first elastic part 212 gradually clamp and wrap the pipe, forming a uniform clamping force on the pipe and fixing the pipe firmly in the pipe groove. Then, the clamping plate 13 is rotated to make the pipe clamp assembly 100 in the closed state, so that the protrusion 2111 and / or recess 2112 on the second elastic part 213 gradually clamp and wrap the pipe, thereby ensuring that the clamping force on the pipe is moderate, which can ensure that the pipe is firmly fixed without causing excessive compression and damage to the pipe.
[0060] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application includes a clamp assembly 100, such as Figures 1-6As shown, each pipe hole 11 on the pipe clamp body 1 is provided with an elastic element 21. The elastic element 21 has a fixing hole 211, which is used to accommodate and fix the pipe. Through the elastic deformation of the elastic element 21, the fixing hole 211 can expand the pipe diameter adaptation range to accommodate pipes of different diameters, thereby effectively solving the problem of limited fixing capacity of existing pipe clamps. Multiple pipes can be reasonably arranged in the effective space, and the complexity of pipe installation is reduced. Multiple pipes can be fixed in an orderly manner, which facilitates the management of multiple pipes, improves the reliability and safety of the vehicle, and reduces the space occupied by the pipe clamp assembly 100, optimizes the vehicle layout, and is conducive to the miniaturization of the vehicle.
[0061] Meanwhile, by having at least two pipe holes 11 with different diameters, the pipe holes 11 with different diameters can accommodate a wide range of pipe diameters, so that the pipe clamp assembly 100 can fix multiple pipes of different types or different diameters, improving the versatility of the pipe clamp assembly 100. During the assembly process, the operator can easily put the pipe into the fixing hole 211 without using additional tools or making complex adjustments, reducing the assembly difficulty.
[0062] In addition, when the vehicle is subjected to complex conditions such as vibration, bumps, acceleration, and braking during operation, the pipe clamp assembly 100 can absorb the vibration of the pipeline through the elastic deformation capability of the elastic element 21, thereby effectively reducing noise and improving the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.
[0063] Therefore, the pipe clamp assembly 100 of this application can be used to fix various pipelines such as fuel system, braking system, cooling system, air conditioning system, vacuum system and various sensor lines in vehicles. It has good versatility and wide application, adapts to the development needs of the vehicle industry, and can play an important role in the pipeline system of both traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, adapting to the needs of continuous development and innovation in the automotive industry.
[0064] According to the vehicle embodiment of this application, a pipe clamp assembly 100 is provided. The pipe clamp body 1 has multiple pipe holes 11, and the elastic component 2 includes multiple elastic elements 21. The multiple elastic elements 21 are respectively disposed in the multiple pipe holes 11. The elastic elements 21 have fixing holes 211, so that the elastic deformation of the elastic elements 21 allows the fixing holes 211 to adapt to pipes of different diameters. By having at least two pipe holes 11 with different diameters, the pipe holes 11 with different diameters can adapt to a wider range of pipe diameters. This allows the pipe clamp assembly 100 to fix multiple pipes of different types or different diameters, thereby allowing multiple pipes to be reasonably arranged in an effective space, reducing the complexity of pipe installation. Multiple pipes can be fixed in an orderly manner, facilitating the management of multiple pipes, and improving the reliability and safety of the vehicle. At the same time, under complex working conditions, the pipe clamp assembly 100 can absorb the vibration of the pipes through the elastic deformation capability of the elastic elements 21, thereby effectively reducing noise and improving the NVH performance of the entire vehicle.
