[0019] Indicative automotive air vent fasteners, see reference. Figures 1 to 2 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle air vent fastener is provided, such as... Figure 1As shown, the device includes a U-shaped portion 10, with horizontal strips 101 at both ends. Each horizontal strip 101 has two first hook portions 102 on the side near the U-shaped portion 10, with the two first hook portions 102 located at both ends of the horizontal strip 101. The side of the horizontal strip 101 away from the U-shaped portion 10 also has a second hook portion 103. The distance between the two second hook portions 103 near one end of the horizontal strip 101 gradually decreases towards the other end. Each second hook portion 103 has an anti-detachment hook portion 104.

[0020] It should be noted that the exterior of the vehicle body has a socket 90, and the exterior air vent mask has pins 91. During installation, the U-shaped part 10 is inserted into the socket 90. During insertion, the two anti-detachment hooks 104 contact the edge of the socket 90 and move towards each other, making the maximum radial dimension of the anti-detachment hooks 104 equal to the diameter of the socket 90. This facilitates the smooth passage of the second hook 103 through the socket 90 at the end opposite to the horizontal bar 101. Subsequently, the two anti-detachment hooks 104 move away from each other under their own elasticity, and the maximum radial dimension of the two anti-detachment hooks 104 is greater than the diameter of the socket 90, making it difficult for the vehicle air vent fastener to come out of the socket 90. In addition, because the distance between the two second hooks 103 near the horizontal bar 101 gradually decreases from one end to the other, and the two second hooks 103 are close to The spacing at one end of the horizontal bar 101 is greater than the diameter of the insertion hole 90, making it difficult for the vehicle air vent fastener to be further inserted into the insertion hole 90. By restricting the two ends of the insertion hole 90 through the anti-detachment hook part 104 and the second hook part 103, the vehicle air vent fastener is fixed to the vehicle body. Subsequently, the pins 91 on the external air vent mask are inserted into the U-shaped groove on the U-shaped part 10. The two first hook parts 102 are deformed by force and abut against the pins 91 on the external air vent mask, thereby fixing the external air vent mask to the vehicle air vent fastener. Thus, the external air vent mask is fixedly installed on the external vehicle body. That is, during installation, the pins 91 on the external air vent mask can be directly inserted into the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped part 10. It is evident that, compared with the prior art, this application has the advantage of allowing the quick installation of the air vent mask with pins onto the vehicle body.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, each of the second hook portions 103 has a first material discharge groove 1031, and the anti-detachment hook portion 104 is connected to one side of the first material discharge groove 1031.

[0022] It should be noted that by setting the first material discharge groove 1031, space is provided for the deformation of the anti-detachment hook part 104 when it passes through the insertion hole 90 and moves in opposite directions.

[0023] Furthermore, in this application, to facilitate the anti-disengagement hook 104 being inserted into the insertion hole 90, the anti-disengagement hook 104 can be subjected to force to move in opposite directions, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the anti-detachment hook part 104 is arranged at an angle, and one end of the anti-detachment hook part 104 is bent at a predetermined angle toward the U-shaped part 10.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the anti-detachment hook 104 abuts against the inner edge of the insertion hole 90 after passing through the insertion hole 90, the end of the anti-detachment hook 104 away from the horizontal bar 101 is bent at a predetermined angle toward the U-shaped part 10.

[0025] Furthermore, to ensure that the pins 91 on the external air vent mask are more securely fixed in the U-shaped grooves on the U-shaped portion 10, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the U-shaped portion 10 has a second material discharge groove 105 in the middle section near one end of the horizontal bar portion 101. A third hook portion 106 is connected to the side of the second material discharge groove 105 near the U-shaped portion 10. The third hook portion 106 is located between the two first hook portions 102.

[0026] It should be noted that when the pin 91 on the external air outlet mask is inserted into the U-shaped groove on the U-shaped part 10, the third hook part 106 abuts against the pin 91; in addition, to further improve the fixing effect, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pin 91 on the external air outlet mask also has a slot 911. When the pin 91 contacts the bottom wall of the U-shaped groove on the U-shaped part 10, the third hook part 106 is engaged in the slot 911.

[0027] Furthermore, in this application, as Figure 1 As shown, one cross section of the horizontal bar 101 is arched.

[0028] Additionally, in this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, both sides of the U-shaped part 10 have material removal notches 108, which are located on both sides of the third hook part 106. Each first hook part 102 extends into a corresponding material removal notch 108.

[0029] In summary, the automotive air vent fastener described in the embodiments of this application is explained, which provides advantages such as allowing the quick installation of a pronged air vent mask onto the vehicle body.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from these principles.
