Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for fastening objects, and more particularly to a sealing clamp and a corresponding mounting assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Fasteners or clamps are widely used devices for securing different components together. For example, they are used to fasten sheet metal parts and certain mounting components together. Traditional ribbed fasteners use metal barbs to engage and secure plastic ribs. In practical applications, such as in the automotive industry, the fastening of components needs to withstand working environments with vibration, moisture, and confined spaces, maintaining high reliability and durability. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a sealing clamp, which includes a clamping part and a sealing part. The clamping part has a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm having a common end fixed to each other and a separate end separated from each other. The sealing part includes a joining part and an extension part. The joining part is arranged to engage with the separate ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm of the clamping part. The extension part extends from the separate end to the common end between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to close the lateral gap between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm. The elastic modulus of the clamping part is greater than the elastic modulus of the sealing part.

[0004] For example, the extension engages with the inner walls of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, one of the extension and the inner wall is provided with at least one protrusion, and the other is provided with at least one recess, the recess engaging with the protrusion.

[0005] For example, the inner sides of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are provided with receiving cavities for inserting the mounting component, and the extension includes a first sub-extension and a second sub-extension. The receiving cavity is formed by the inner walls of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm and the first sub-extension and the second sub-extension.

[0006] For example, in the receiving cavity, at least one snap-fit ​​portion that mates with the mounting member is formed on the inner wall of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0007] For example, the at least one latching portion includes a first latching portion located on the inner wall of the first clamping arm and a second latching portion located on the inner wall of the second clamping arm, the first latching portion and the second latching portion being aligned with each other.

[0008] For example, the at least one latching portion includes a first latching portion located on the inner wall of the first clamping arm and a second latching portion located on the inner wall of the second clamping arm, the first latching portion and the second latching portion being offset from each other in the lateral direction of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0009] For example, the outer sidewalls of the first and second clamping arms have engagement portions that mate with another fitting.

[0010] For example, the sealing portion is provided with a skirt portion that extends from the joint portion toward the common end of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0011] For example, the skirt portion extends beyond the engaging portion on the outer side wall of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0012] For example, in the height direction, there is a gap between the engaging portion and the top end of the clamping portion and the mounting surface of the clamping portion.

[0013] For example, the engaging portion has a first inclined portion, a flat portion and a second inclined portion, and the two ends of the flat portion are respectively connected to the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface.

[0014] For example, the clamping portion includes two engaging portions disposed on two arcuate surfaces of the outer side of the arched clamping portion and extending downward along the common end of the clamping portion.

[0015] For example, the engaging portion is a boss, the engaging portion inside the clamping portion is a latch, and the projections of the latch and the boss on the outer side of the clamping portion do not overlap.

[0016] For example, the top of the receiving cavity inside the clamping part also has a first clearance portion, which communicates with the lateral gap between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0017] This application also provides an installation assembly, comprising: the sealing clamp described in the above example; and an assembly having a mounting hole in the middle, the mounting hole being capable of engaging with the engaging portions of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, the assembly being capable of abutting and compressing the sealing portion to deform it to form a seal between the sealing portion and the assembly.

[0018] For example, the mounting assembly further includes a mounting member having an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a receiving cavity of the clamping portion and connected to the clamping portion.

[0019] For example, the insertion part has at least one receiving hole for receiving a snap-fit ​​part inside the clamping part, the top end of the snap-fit ​​part located on the inner wall of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm snaps into the top of the receiving hole.

[0020] The above exemplary technical solutions can be freely combined to obtain the various embodiments of this application.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, by connecting the sealing part to the separating end of the clamping part, and extending the extension from the separating end to the common end, the lateral gap between the first and second clamping arms can be effectively sealed. The sealing part as a whole seals the sides and bottom of the clamping part, thus making the sealing part and the clamping part a single sealing element that meets the requirements for waterproof sealing. Second, the elastic modulus of the clamping part is greater than that of the sealing part, allowing the clamping part to better maintain its shape when the sealing clamp is subjected to external force, while the sealing part can deform appropriately under the action of the clamping part to adapt to different installation conditions. Simultaneously, the clamping part and the sealing part of the sealing clamp allow their functions to be independent during installation and disassembly, reducing the risk of damage to the sealing part. Third, because the sealing part can flexibly extend between the separating end and the common end of the clamping part, it can adapt to different installation spaces and shapes, enabling the sealing clamp to work effectively in space-constrained environments and meet various application needs.

[0066] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through exemplary embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that although terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," are used in this utility model to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements, their use is merely for ease of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the exemplary embodiments described in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered as limiting. Where possible, the same or similar reference numerals used in this utility model refer to the same or similar components.

[0067] Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth for ease of explanation to provide a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent that one or more exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and apparatuses are illustrated to simplify the figures.

[0068] This utility model provides a sealing clamp 1, such as Figures 1-12As shown, in applications such as waterproofing and sealing, the sealing clamp 1 includes a clamping portion 10 and a sealing portion 20. The clamping portion 10 has a first clamping arm 101 and a second clamping arm 102. The first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 have a common end 103 fixed to each other and a separate end 104 separated from each other. The sealing portion 20 includes a joining portion 201 and an extension portion 202. The joining portion 201 is connected to the extension portion 202. The joining portion 201 is arranged to engage with the separate end 104 of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 of the clamping portion 10. The extension portion 202 extends from the separate end 104 to the common end 103 between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 to close the lateral gap between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The elastic modulus of the clamping portion 10 is greater than the elastic modulus of the sealing portion 20.

[0069] Specifically, the sealing part 20 engages with the separating end 104 of the clamping part 10 via the joining part 201 of the sealing part 20, and the extension part 202 extends from the separating end 104 to the common end 103, thereby closing the lateral gap between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The sealing part 20 as a whole seals the side of the clamping part 10 and the bottom where it engages with the joining part 201, thus making the sealing part 20 and the clamping part 10 a single sealing element that meets the requirements for waterproof sealing. Secondly, the elastic modulus of the clamping part 10 is greater than that of the sealing part 20, therefore, the sealing part 20 can withstand a greater amount of deformation than the clamping part 10. When the clamping part 10 is compressed and deformed, the sealing part 20 can deform accordingly to avoid hindering the operation of the clamping part 10. This allows the clamping part 10 to better maintain its shape when the sealing clamp 1 is subjected to external force, while the sealing part 20 can deform moderately under the action of the clamping part 10 to adapt to different installation conditions. Meanwhile, the clamping part 10 and the sealing part 20 of the sealing clamp 1 allow the functions of the clamping part 10 and the sealing part 20 to be independent during installation and disassembly, reducing the risk of damage to the sealing part 20. Third, since the sealing part 20 can flexibly extend between the separating end 104 and the common end 103 of the clamping part 10, it can adapt to different installation spaces and shapes, enabling the sealing clamp 1 to work effectively even in space-constrained environments and meet various application requirements.

[0070] In one exemplary implementation, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the extension 202 engages with the inner walls of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. At least one protrusion 2021 may be provided on the extension 202 and the inner wall, and at least one recess 1011 may be provided on the other. The recess 1011 engages with the protrusion 2021. By providing the engagement of the protrusion 2021 and the recess 1011 between the extension 202 and the inner wall, a tighter contact surface can be formed, preventing lateral gaps in the clamping part 10 and preventing liquid or gas from entering the internal space of the clamping part 10, thereby improving sealing performance. The cooperation between the protrusion 2021 and the recess 1011 provides better pressure resistance under stress. When the clamping part 10 is subjected to external pressure, the protrusion 2021 can remain in the recess 1011, forming a more robust connection, enhancing the stability of the overall structure, and reducing the risk of seal failure due to pressure. The protrusion 2021 and the recess 1011 also allow the clamping part 10 and the sealing part 20 to be installed together during the installation process. The recess 1011 guides the installation of the protrusion 2021, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving the accuracy and efficiency of installation. For example, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple protrusions 2021 and multiple recesses 1011 interlock with each other to form a tooth-like structure, which can better ensure the bonding strength between the extension 202 and the clamping part 10.

[0071] In one exemplary implementation, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the inner sides of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 are provided with receiving cavities 105 for inserting the mounting member 40. The extension 202 includes a first sub-extension 2022 and a second sub-extension 2023. The receiving cavity 105 is formed by the inner walls of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 and the first sub-extension 2022 and the second sub-extension 2023. The receiving cavity 105 allows the mounting member 40 to be embedded in the receiving space formed by the clamping arms, making full use of the internal space of the clamping part 10, enabling higher functional integration within a limited space and adapting to different installation needs. The design of the receiving cavity 105 makes the insertion of the mounting member 40 more convenient and reduces the complexity of the installation process. This allows users to complete the installation more quickly and improves work efficiency. The first sub-extension 2022 and the second sub-extension 2023 enable the sealing clamp 1 to adapt to mounting members 40 of different shapes and sizes and clamping parts 10 of different shapes, making the sealing clamp 1 applicable to various application scenarios and meeting different usage requirements.

[0072] Furthermore, within the receiving cavity 105, at least one engaging portion 106 is formed on the inner wall of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102, which mates with the mounting member 40. The engaging portion 106 can tightly engage with the mounting member 40, providing additional fixing force. The engaging portion 106 prevents displacement or loosening of the mounting member 40 during use, ensuring its stability and safety. By providing the engaging portion 106, the user can more easily align and fix the mounting member 40 in place during installation, reducing the complexity of the installation process, improving installation efficiency, and saving costs. In addition, the engaging portion 106 can provide additional support for the clamping arms, enhancing the stability of the overall structure and reducing the risk of failure due to external pressure or vibration. Fixing the mounting member 40 with the engaging portion 106 reduces the relative movement between the mounting member 40 and the clamping arms, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage to the inner wall of the clamping arms, which helps extend the service life of the sealing clamp 1 and the mounting member 40.

[0073] Furthermore, at least one latching portion 106 includes a first latching portion 1012 located on the inner wall of the first clamping arm 101 and a second latching portion 1021 located on the inner wall of the second clamping arm 102, the first latching portion 1012 and the second latching portion 1021 being aligned with each other. Figure 9 As shown, the four snap-fit ​​parts 106 are aligned with each other, ensuring that the mounting part 40 is evenly stressed between the clamping arms. The symmetrical arrangement of the snap-fit ​​parts 106 helps improve the stability of the overall structure and reduces the risk of deformation or failure caused by uneven stress. The aligned snap-fit ​​parts 106 can better lock the mounting part 40, providing stronger fixing force and effectively preventing displacement or loosening of the mounting part 40 during use, ensuring its safety and reliability. Due to the alignment design of the snap-fit ​​parts 106, the mounting part 40 can be more easily aligned and fixed in place during installation, reducing the complexity of the installation process, improving work efficiency, and saving costs. In addition, the snap-fit ​​parts 106 can effectively fix the mounting part 40, reducing the possible collision between the mounting part 40 and the clamping arms, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage. This helps to extend the service life of the sealing clamp 1 and the mounting part 40.

[0074] Furthermore, at least one latching portion 106 includes a first latching portion 1012 located on the inner wall of the first clamping arm 101 and a second latching portion 1021 located on the inner wall of the second clamping arm 102. The first latching portion 1012 and the second latching portion 1021 are offset from each other in the lateral direction of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The offset latching portion 106 design can provide a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the fixing force with the mounting member 40, preventing displacement or loosening of the mounting member 40 during use, and ensuring its stability and safety. The offset latching portion 106 can save space, allowing necessary deformation space, which is beneficial for deformation between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102, thereby reducing the insertion force. The offset design makes it easier for the user to align and fix the mounting member 40 in place when installing it, reducing the complexity of the installation process, improving work efficiency, and saving costs. Because the snap-fit ​​portion 106 can secure the mounting member 40, it reduces the possibility of collisions between the mounting member 40 and the inner wall of the clamping arm, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage. This helps to extend the service life of the sealing clamp 1 and the mounting member 40.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, the outer walls of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 have engaging portions 107 that mate with another fitting 30. Engaging portions 107 allow the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 to fit tightly with the other fitting 30, providing a stronger connection force. This structure effectively prevents displacement or loosening of the fitting 30 during use, ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure. By providing engaging portions 107 on the outer walls of the clamping arms, the clamp can adapt to different types of mounting parts 40, accommodating various application scenarios. Engaging portions 107 can further reduce the gap between the clamping arm and the other fitting 30, thereby improving the sealing performance between the outer side of the clamping portion 10 and the fitting 30. As an example, the clamping portion 10 and the fitting 30 employ an interference fit, which, through effective engagement, prevents the ingress of liquids or gases, meeting the requirements for waterproof sealing. Since the engaging part 107 can effectively fix the assembly 30, it reduces the relative movement between the assembly 30 and the outer side of the clamping arm, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage and helping to extend the service life of the clamp and the assembly 30.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the sealing portion 20 is provided with a skirt portion 203, which extends from the joint portion 201 toward the common end 103 of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The skirt portion 203 can effectively cover the gap between the joint portion 201 and the clamping arm, forming a tighter seal. The extension of the skirt portion 203 can provide additional support when the assembly 30 is under force, enhancing the pressure resistance of the sealing portion 20, helping to prevent seal failure due to external pressure, and ensuring the durability of the sealing effect. The extension of the skirt portion 203 allows the sealing portion 20 to better adapt to assemblies 30 of different shapes and sizes, making the sealing clamp 1 suitable for various application scenarios. The skirt portion 203 can also effectively reduce the direct contact between the mating assembly 30 and the external environment, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage to the assembly 30 and extending the service life of the sealing clamp 1. In addition, as Figure 12 As shown, the design of the skirt portion 203 also helps to hold the assembly (e.g., sheet metal part) 30 more stably in the engaged position, preventing friction and collision between the assembly 30 and the clamping portion 20 due to vibration.

[0077] Furthermore, the skirt portion 203 extends beyond the engaging portion 107 on the outer side wall of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The extension of the skirt portion 203 is confined within the engaging portion 107 on the outer side wall of the clamping arm, which helps maintain the compactness of the overall structure, effectively reducing space occupation and making the sealing clamp 1 easier to install and use in space-constrained environments. It also avoids interference problems during installation or use, ensuring good fit between the clamping arm and other components, and reducing the risk of installation difficulties or functional failures due to interference. The skirt portion 203 can deform to form a seal with the lower surface of the fitting 30 mounted on the clamping portion 10, preventing liquid or gas from entering.

[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, a gap is provided between the engaging portion 107 and the top of the clamping portion 10, and between the mounting surface 100 of the clamping portion 10, in the height direction. The presence of this gap allows the assembly 30 to undergo minor displacement or deformation within a certain range, thereby adapting to assemblies 30 of different shapes and sizes, enabling the clamp to be used in various application scenarios. The gap in the height direction provides a certain margin of error during installation, making it easier for the user to align the engaging portion 107 and the clamping portion 10. This design simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, in environments with changing temperatures, materials may undergo thermal expansion. The deformable sealing portion 20 provides deformation space for the assembly 30, and the gap also provides space for thermal expansion, preventing structural deformation or damage caused by thermal expansion.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, the engaging portion 107 has a first inclined portion 1071, a flat portion 1072, and a second inclined portion 1073. The two ends of the flat portion 1072 are respectively connected to the first and second inclined surfaces. The shape of the inclined surfaces guides the accessory 30 to better enter the engaging portion 107 during installation, ensuring engagement stability and preventing loosening or displacement during use. The flat portion 1072 provides a larger contact area, forming a mounting plane with the hole on the accessory 30, ensuring that the accessory 30 and the side of the clamping portion 10 remain perpendicular to each other, facilitating contact between the accessory 30 and the mounting surface 100 of the clamping portion 10. The inclination of the first inclined portion 1071 is less than the angle of the second inclined portion 1073, preventing the engaged accessory 30 from sliding out of the surface of the clamping portion 10. It also ensures that the force generated by the accessory 30 during assembly minimizes deformation of the clamping portion 10, preventing excessive deformation and localized damage to the clamping portion 10.

[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, the clamping portion 10 includes two engaging portions 107, which are disposed on two arcuate surfaces of the outer side of the arched clamping portion 10 and extend downward along the common end 103 of the clamping portion 10. Because the engaging portions 107 are disposed on the arcuate surfaces, the force applied to the clamping portion 10 can be better distributed, reducing stress concentration. This optimized force distribution helps extend the service life of the clamping portion 10 and reduces the risk of damage due to stress concentration. The engaging portions 107 extending downward along the common end 103 of the clamping portion 10 make it easier for the user to align and secure the accessory 30 to the mounting surface 100 of the clamping portion 10 when installing it, reducing reliance on tools and complexity during installation. Accessories 30 of different shapes and sizes can be effectively secured using the engaging portions 107.

[0081] In one exemplary implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the engaging portion 107 is a boss 1074, and the engaging portion 106 inside the clamping portion 10 is a locking foot 1061. The projections of the locking foot 1061 and the boss 1074 on the outer side of the clamping portion 10 do not overlap. This separation design of the locking foot 1061 and the boss 1074 allows for more even force distribution, reduces stress concentration, and improves the overall stability of the clamping portion 10, reducing the risk of damage caused by stress concentration. Since the projections of the locking foot 1061 and the boss 1074 do not overlap, it facilitates overall structural deformation. This minimizes the impact of deformation of the clamping portion 10 caused by the mounting parts 30 installed on the outside of the engaging portion 107 and the mounting parts 40 installed inside the clamping portion 10 on the overall structure of the clamping portion 10, thus improving the overall stability and reliability of the structure.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, the top of the receiving cavity 105 inside the clamping part 10 also has a first clearance portion 1051, which communicates with the lateral gap between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The first clearance portion 1051 allows the receiving cavity 105 to adapt to mounting parts 40 of different shapes and sizes within a certain range. Through communication with the lateral gap, it can effectively accommodate minor changes in the mounting part 40, improving overall adaptability. The first clearance portion 1051 can effectively disperse the stress applied to the clamping part 10, reducing stress concentration and extending the service life of the clamping part 10. The design of the first clearance portion 1051 provides additional space for installation, making it easier for the user to align the mounting part 40 during installation and reducing the complexity of the installation process. The first clearance portion 1051 also provides some space for the deformation of the clamping part 10, allowing the clamping part 10 to easily return to its initial shape when the distance between the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 changes. In environments with varying temperatures, the material of the mounting part 40 may undergo thermal expansion. The first clearance portion 1051 provides space for the thermal expansion of the material of the mounting part 40, preventing deformation or damage to the clamping portion 10 structure due to thermal expansion.

[0083] This application also provides an installation assembly. In addition to the sealing clamp 1 described in the previous embodiments, the installation assembly may further include an attachment 30. The attachment 30 has a mounting hole 301 in its center, which can engage with the engaging portion 107 of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102. The attachment 30 can abut against and compress the sealing portion 20 to deform it, forming a seal between the sealing portion 20 and the attachment 30. This seal effectively prevents the ingress of liquids or gases, ensuring the reliability of the sealing clamp 1 in various application scenarios. The deformability of the sealing portion 20 allows the sealing clamp 1 to adapt to attachments 30 of different thicknesses and shapes, enabling the sealing clamp 1 to work effectively in various applications and meet different needs. As an example, when the attachment 30 is installed in place, it can abut against the mounting surface 100 of the clamping portion 10. However, the embodiments of this application are not limited to this.

[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, the mounting assembly may further include a mounting member 40. As an example, the mounting member 40 may be partially inserted into the receiving cavity 105 of the clamping portion 10, while another portion is disposed on the outside of the sealing portion 20. The mounting member 40 disposed within the receiving cavity 105 of the clamping portion 10 ensures that the clamping portion 10 and the sealing assembly together seal the mounting member 40 disposed within the receiving cavity 105, effectively preventing the ingress of liquids or gases. The mounting member 40 can be adjusted according to different application requirements; mounting members 40 of different shapes and sizes can be disposed within the receiving cavity 105 of the clamping portion 10.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, the mounting member 40 may include an insertion portion 401. The insertion portion 401 is configured to insert into the receiving cavity 105 of the clamping portion 10 and connect with the clamping portion 10. As an example, the tip of the insertion portion 401 is disposed within a first clearance portion 1051 of the clamping portion 10, such that the first clearance portion 1051 provides additional space for the insertion portion 401 to move. The snap-fit ​​portion 106 ensures that even if the insertion portion 401 undergoes minor deformation within the clamping portion 10, it remains securely fixed within the clamping portion 10, reducing the risk of displacement due to external pressure or vibration. The first clearance portion also allows the clamping portion 10 to accommodate insertion portions 401 of different sizes, allowing users to adjust it according to different application requirements. The insertion portion 401 also facilitates easier alignment of the mounting member 40 with the snap-fit ​​portion 106 inside the clamping portion 10 during installation, reducing the complexity of the installation process. This simplified installation process improves work efficiency and saves time.

[0086] In one exemplary implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the insertion portion (e.g., a plug-in plate) 401 of the mounting member 40 has at least one receiving hole 402. The receiving hole 402 is used to receive the snap-fit ​​portion 106 within the clamping portion 10. The top ends of the snap-fit ​​portions 106 located on the inner walls of the first clamping arm 101 and the second clamping arm 102 snap into the top of the receiving hole 402. The snap-fit ​​portions 106 located on both sides of the insertion portion 401 contact each other within the receiving hole 402, forming a support surface that will fit against the top surface inside the receiving hole 402 of the insertion portion 401, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the insertion portion 401. In addition, compared with the prior art method of using metal barbs to destructively pierce the mounting member, the engagement method of the snap-fit ​​portion 106 with the receiving hole 402 can avoid damage to the mounting member, improve the service life of the tool, and reduce the risk of disassembly and assembly.

[0087] Specifically, during use, such as Figures 10-12As shown, after the clamping part 10 and the sealing part 20 are installed together, the mounting hole 301 of the fitting 30 passes through the top of the clamping part 10, the first inclined part 1071 of the boss 1074, and the first inclined surface of the boss 1074 in sequence. During the process of passing through the first inclined surface of the boss 1074, after the mounting hole 301 contacts the first inclined surface of the boss 1074, the fitting 30 continues to move downward, the clamping part 10 deforms, and the sealing part 20 that cooperates with the clamping part 10 also deforms. When the fitting 30 reaches the flat part 1072 of the boss 1074, the mounting hole 301 of the fitting 30 and the flat part 1072 of the boss 1074 align with each other, making the fitting 30 perpendicular to the flat part 1072 of the boss 1074. At this time, the overall deformation of the clamping part 10 and the sealing part 20 reaches its maximum. As the assembly 30 moves from the flat portion 1072 on the boss 1074 to the second inclined portion 1073, the clamping portion 10 and the sealing portion 20 assembly return to their original shape, and the mounting hole 301 of the assembly 30 abuts against the second inclined portion 1073. After the assembly 30 passes through the second inclined portion 1073, the assembly 30 abuts against the mounting surface 100 of the clamping portion 10, and after the assembly 30 contacts the skirt of the sealing portion 20, the skirt deforms to form a seal with the lower side of the assembly 30.

[0088] When the mounting part 40 is inserted into the receiving cavity 105 inside the clamping part 10, the insertion part 401 passes through the hole of the sealing part 20 and the internal receiving cavity 105 of the clamping part 10 in sequence, and then passes through the snap-fit ​​part 106 inside the receiving cavity 105. When the top end of the insertion part 401 enters the first clearance part 1051, the receiving hole 402 of the snap-fit ​​part 106 located on the inner wall of the clamping part 10 is provided in the insertion part 401. Then the clamping part 10 restores its deformation and fixes the insertion part 401 in the receiving cavity 105 of the insertion part 401.
