Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clamping device technology, and more particularly to a clip and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The current method of fixing automotive optical fibers is usually to use automotive cable ties to directly wrap around and tie the optical fiber cable, and to constrain and fix the optical fiber through the locking structure of the cable ties.

[0003] However, because the binding force of cable ties is difficult to control precisely, it is easy for them to be too tight. Overly tight binding can cause local bending and deformation of the optical fiber, leading to light leakage and affecting the signal transmission quality of the optical fiber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a clip designed to improve existing methods of fixing automotive optical fibers, which can cause local bending and deformation of the optical fiber, leading to light leakage and affecting the signal transmission quality of the optical fiber.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, one embodiment of this application provides a clip, including a clamping portion, a connecting clip, and an elastic body; The clamping part includes a base and a clamping body. The base has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other along a first direction. The connecting pin is fixed to the first surface, the clamping body is fixed to the second surface, and a wire-passing space is formed between the clamping body and the second surface. The elastic body is fixed to the second surface and located in the wire-passing space. The clamping body and the elastic body are capable of clamping a linear object passing through the wire-passing space.

[0006] The clip in this embodiment is fixed to a designated installation position inside the vehicle by a connecting pin. The fixing structure between the connecting pin and the first surface of the base ensures the overall stability of the clip installation. When it is necessary to fix a linear object such as an optical fiber, the optical fiber is placed in the wire passage space enclosed by the second surface of the base and the clamping body. At this time, the elastic body and the clamping body in the wire passage space form a clamping effect on the optical fiber. Due to the elastic properties of the elastic body, after the optical fiber is inserted, the elastic body can adapt to the actual diameter of the optical fiber and form a stable clamping constraint on the optical fiber through its own elastic force and the clamping body, preventing rigid compression of the optical fiber and achieving flexible fixation of the optical fiber. Through the cooperative clamping structure of the elastic body and the clamping body, sufficient fixing force can be provided to the optical fiber to ensure the stability of the optical fiber position, and the elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic body can be used to avoid excessive tight binding of the optical fiber, thereby preventing light leakage caused by local bending deformation of the optical fiber. This reduces signal loss during optical fiber signal transmission and ensures the stability of optical fiber signal transmission quality. Compared to traditional cable ties, its fixing method is more versatile, can be adapted to optical fibers of different diameters, and has a lower risk of damage to the optical fibers during installation, thus improving the reliability and convenience of automotive fiber optic installation.

[0007] In one embodiment, the clamping body includes a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment, and a third connecting segment connected in sequence, wherein the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment are arranged on the same side of the second connecting segment along the first direction.

[0008] The end of the first connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is fixed to the second surface; the end of the third connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is not fixed to the second surface.

[0009] The second connecting segment and the elastic body are capable of clamping the linear object.

[0010] In one embodiment, the end of the first connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is not fixed to the second surface, while the end of the third connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is fixed to the second surface.

[0011] In one embodiment, the end of the first connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is fixed to the second surface, and the end of the third connecting segment away from the second connecting segment is fixed to the second surface.

[0012] Understandably, whether the first connecting segment is directly fixed to the second surface or indirectly fixed to the second surface via other components, it is considered fixed to the second surface. Furthermore, depending on the requirements, the end of the first connecting segment furthest from the second connecting segment, or the end of the third connecting segment furthest from the second connecting segment, can be made not connected to the second surface, adapting to various application scenarios. The three-section structure of the clamping body, with the first and third connecting segments fixed to the base, allows the second connecting segment and the elastic body to clamp linear objects such as optical fibers, improving the overall structural strength of the clamping body while ensuring precise cooperation with the elastic body, effectively protecting the optical fiber and maintaining signal transmission quality.

[0013] In one embodiment, a placement station is provided on the side of the elastomer facing away from the second surface, and the placement station is used to place the linear object. The placement station on the side of the elastomer facing away from the second surface provides a clear placement area for linear objects such as optical fibers, facilitating rapid positioning and installation.

[0014] In one embodiment, the placement station is an open slot, with an opening on one side along the first direction. Designing the placement station as an open slot with an opening on one side along the first direction facilitates the quick placement of linear objects into the slot from the opening side, improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, the elastic body can provide lateral restraint for the object through the slot structure, and the open slot, in conjunction with the elastic body and the clamping body, further prevents object displacement. Furthermore, the open slot design is adaptable to the placement of linear objects of different diameters, balancing convenience and clamping stability.

[0015] In one embodiment, the end of the connecting pin furthest from the first surface is a free end, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the free end gradually decreases along the direction furthest from the first surface. Designating the free end of the connecting pin as a pointed tip significantly reduces the resistance during insertion and installation of the connecting segment, allowing the pin to be secured to the target position more easily and quickly.

[0016] In one embodiment, the connecting pin includes a plurality of teeth connected sequentially along the first direction; Multiple locking teeth are arranged coaxially, with the first locking tooth connected to the first surface and the last locking tooth forming a free end. The connecting pin employs a multiple coaxial locking tooth structure, allowing the teeth to engage with the installation position in multiple segments during installation, significantly improving the pin's fixation and preventing loosening.

[0017] In one embodiment, the elastomer is adhered to the second surface. Adheding the elastomer to the second surface allows for quick and stable installation without requiring additional complex fixing structures, simplifying the overall assembly process of the clips. Furthermore, adhesion ensures a tight fit between the elastomer and the second surface, preventing displacement during fiber clamping and guaranteeing a precise fit between the elastomer and the clamping body. This ensures stable and effective flexible clamping, guaranteeing the fiber fixation.

[0018] In one embodiment, a base is fixed to the second surface, and the third connecting segment can be snapped onto the base. The snapping of the base on the second surface with the third connecting segment enables quick positioning and fixation of the clamping body, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional fixing methods and improving assembly efficiency; at the same time, the snapping structure can ensure the firmness of the connection between the third connecting segment and the base, thereby making the clamping body as a whole stable and ensuring that it will not loosen when used with the elastic body to clamp the optical fiber.

[0019] In one embodiment, the third connecting segment is provided with a locking block, and the base is provided with a locking groove, wherein the locking block can engage with the locking groove. The locking block of the third connecting segment and the locking groove of the base form a precise engagement, which ensures the stability of the connection between the clamping body and the base and prevents loosening during use from affecting the clamping effect.

[0020] In one embodiment, the third connecting segment is provided with a slot, and the base is provided with a locking block, which can be engaged with the slot. The slot of the third connecting segment and the locking block of the base form a corresponding engagement, which can realize a stable connection between the clamping body and the base, avoid loosening or displacement during clamping, and ensure stable clamping of the optical fiber.

[0021] On the other hand, this application also provides a vehicle including the clips described above. The vehicle using the clips described above can reliably fix linear objects such as optical fibers inside the vehicle through its stable and flexible clamping structure, avoiding problems such as optical fiber leakage and signal damage caused by traditional cable ties, and ensuring the stable operation of vehicle-mounted optical fiber related systems (such as vehicle communication and sensing systems).

[0024] 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.

[0025] Currently, the method of fixing optical fibers in automobiles involves directly bundling them with automotive cable ties to constrain and secure the fibers. This method is prone to causing localized bending and deformation of the fiber optic cable, as well as light leakage, due to overly tight bundling, thus affecting fiber optic signal transmission and lifespan. Furthermore, automotive cable ties have minimum wire diameter requirements; for fibers smaller than the minimum diameter specified by the cable tie, the ties are ineffective in securing them. Additionally, automotive cable ties are prone to uneven stress when bundling square fiber optic cables, leading to fiber deformation and light leakage. Therefore, current automotive cable ties cannot meet the practical requirements for optical fiber applications.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a clip, including a clamping part 1, a connecting nail 2, and an elastic body 3.

[0027] The clamping part 1 includes a base 11 and a clamping body 12. The base 11 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 opposite to each other along a first direction. A connecting pin 2 is fixed to the first surface 111, and the clamping body 12 is fixed to the second surface 112, forming a wire-passing space 4 between the clamping body 12 and the second surface 112. An elastic body 3 is fixed to the second surface 112 and located in the wire-passing space 4. The clamping body 12 and the elastic body 3 are capable of clamping a wire-like object 5 passing through the wire-passing space 4. The first direction is... Figure 1The X-direction. The linear object 5 can be a cylindrical optical fiber, a common wire, or a square optoelectronic cable, etc. The clamping body 12 and the elastic body 3 can clamp one or more linear objects 5 passing through the wire passage space 4. In this embodiment of the application, the clip is fixed in a designated installation position inside the car by the connecting nail 2. The fixing structure of the connecting nail 2 and the first surface 111 of the base 11 ensures the overall stability of the clip installation. When it is necessary to fix a linear object 5 such as an optical fiber, the optical fiber is placed in the wire passage space 4 enclosed by the second surface 112 of the base 11 and the clamping body 12. At this time, the elastic body 3 and the clamping body 12 in the wire passage space 4 form a uniform clamping effect on the optical fiber. Since the elastic body 3 has elastic properties, after the optical fiber is inserted, the elastic body 3 can adapt to the actual diameter of the optical fiber and form a stable clamping constraint on the optical fiber through its own elastic force and the clamping body 12, preventing rigid compression of the optical fiber and realizing flexible fixing of the optical fiber. The synergistic clamping structure of the elastic body 3 and the clamping body 12 provides sufficient fixing force to ensure the stability of the optical fiber's position, while utilizing the elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic body 3 to avoid excessive tightness in the optical fiber, thus preventing light leakage caused by local bending deformation. This reduces signal loss during optical fiber signal transmission and ensures the stability of optical fiber signal transmission quality. Compared to traditional cable ties, its fixing method is more versatile, adaptable to optical fibers of different diameters, and has a lower risk of damage to the optical fiber during installation, improving the reliability and convenience of automotive optical fiber installation.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The clamping body 12 includes a first connecting segment 121, a second connecting segment 122 and a third connecting segment 123 connected in sequence. The first connecting segment 121 and the third connecting segment 123 are arranged on the same side of the second connecting segment 122 along a first direction.

[0029] The end of the first connecting segment 121 that is away from the second connecting segment 122 is fixed to the second surface 112, while the end of the third connecting segment 123 that is away from the second connecting segment 122 is not fixed to the second surface 112.

[0030] The second connecting section 122 and the elastic body 3 can clamp the linear object 5.

[0031] In one embodiment, the end of the first connecting segment 121 that is away from the second connecting segment 122 is not fixed to the second surface 112, and the end of the third connecting segment 123 that is away from the second connecting segment 122 is fixed to the second surface 112.

[0032] In one embodiment, the end of the first connecting segment 121 away from the second connecting segment 122 is fixed to the second surface 112, and the end of the third connecting segment 123 away from the second connecting segment 122 is fixed to the second surface 112. It is understood that whether the first connecting segment 121 is directly fixed to the second surface 112, or indirectly fixed to the second surface 112 through other components, it is considered fixed to the second surface 112. Simultaneously, depending on the requirements, the end of the first connecting segment 121 away from the second connecting segment 122 or the end of the third connecting segment 123 away from the second connecting segment 122 can be made not connected to the second surface 112, adapting to various application scenarios. The three-segment structure of the clamping body 12, with the first connecting segment 121 and the third connecting segment 123 fixed to the base 11, allows the second connecting segment 122 and the elastic body 3 to clamp linear objects 5 such as optical fibers, improving the overall structural strength of the clamping body 12 while ensuring precise cooperation with the elastic body 3, effectively protecting the optical fiber and maintaining signal transmission quality.

[0033] In one embodiment, a placement station (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the elastic body 3 facing away from the second surface 112. The placement station is used to place the linear object 5. The placement station on the side of the elastic body 3 facing away from the second surface 112 can provide a clear placement area for linear objects 5 such as optical fibers, which facilitates quick positioning and installation.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The placement station is an open slot 31, with an opening on one side along the first direction. Setting the placement station as an open slot 31 with an opening on one side along the first direction facilitates the quick placement of the linear object 5 into the slot from the opening side, improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, the elastic body 3 can provide lateral restraint for the object through the slot structure, and the open slot 31, in conjunction with the elastic body 3 and the clamping body 12, further prevents object displacement. Furthermore, the design of the open slot 31 is also adaptable to the placement of linear objects 5 of different diameters, balancing convenience and clamping stability.

[0035] In one embodiment, the end of the connecting pin 2 away from the first surface 111 is a free end, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the free end gradually decreases along the direction away from the first surface 111. Setting the free end of the connecting pin 2 as a pointed tip can significantly reduce the resistance when the connecting segment is inserted and installed, allowing the pin to be fixed to the target position more easily and quickly.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting pin 2 includes a plurality of locking teeth 21 connected sequentially along the first direction.

[0037] Multiple locking teeth 21 are arranged coaxially, with the first locking tooth 21 connected to the first surface 111 and the last locking tooth 21 having a free end. The connecting nail 2 adopts a structure of multiple coaxial locking teeth 21, which allows the locking teeth 21 to form multiple segments of engagement with the installation position during installation, greatly improving the firmness of the nail fixation and preventing loosening.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The elastomer 3 is adhered to the second surface 112. Adheding the elastomer 3 to the second surface 112 allows for quick and stable installation of the elastomer 3 without the need for additional complex fixing structures, simplifying the overall assembly process of the clips. Furthermore, adhesion ensures a tight fit between the elastomer 3 and the second surface 112, preventing displacement during fiber clamping and ensuring precise engagement between the elastomer 3 and the clamping body 12, thus stably performing its flexible clamping function and guaranteeing the fiber fixation effect.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-3 , Figures 5-6 A base 6 is fixedly mounted on the second surface 112, and the third connecting segment 123 can be snapped onto the base 6. The snapping of the base 6 on the second surface 112 and the third connecting segment 123 can quickly achieve the positioning and fixation of the clamping body 12, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional fixing methods and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the snapping structure can ensure the firmness of the connection between the third connecting segment 123 and the base 6, thereby making the clamping body 12 as a whole stable and ensuring that it will not loosen when it is used with the elastic body 3 to clamp the optical fiber.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The third connecting section 123 is provided with a locking block 1231, and the base 6 is provided with a locking groove 61. The locking block 1231 can be locked into the locking groove 61. The locking block 1231 of the third connecting section 123 and the locking groove 61 of the base 6 form a precise locking connection, which not only ensures the stability of the connection between the clamping body 12 and the base 6, but also prevents it from loosening during use and affecting the clamping effect.

[0041] In one embodiment, the third connecting segment 123 is provided with a slot 61, and the base 6 is provided with a locking block 1231, which can be locked into the slot 61. The slot 61 of the third connecting segment 123 and the locking block 1231 of the base 6 form a corresponding locking engagement, which can realize a stable connection between the clamping body 12 and the base 6, avoid loosening or displacement during clamping, and ensure stable clamping of the optical fiber.

[0042] On the other hand, this application also provides a vehicle including the clips described above. The vehicle using the clips described above can reliably fix linear objects 5 such as optical fibers inside the vehicle through its stable and flexible clamping structure, avoiding problems such as optical fiber leakage and signal damage caused by traditional cable ties, and ensuring the stable operation of vehicle-mounted optical fiber related systems (such as vehicle communication and sensing systems).
