Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixing pipe clamp technology, specifically a fixing pipe clamp for a car engine hood support rod. Background Technology
[0002] Car hood support rods play a crucial supporting role in vehicle maintenance. Existing fixing structures mostly use simple metal clamps or plastic clips, which can achieve basic fixation, but have obvious shortcomings in actual use.
[0003] Existing support rod fixing methods mostly use simple metal clamps or plastic clip structures. Traditional support rod insertion structures are usually simple cylindrical or rectangular slots with large gaps and limited contact areas, making it difficult to form a tight fit. When the support rod supports the hood, the constraint force on the end of the support rod is insufficient, making it difficult to achieve stable fixation. Conventional body connection structures are mostly one-way clips or straight-insertion designs, lacking effective anti-loosening mechanisms. Under long-term vibration, they are prone to gradually loosening or even falling off, leading to support rod fixation failure and posing safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing tube clamp for a car hood support rod to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A fixing clamp for a car hood support rod includes a body assembly. The body assembly has an assembly structure for cooperating with the car body. The end of the body assembly has a support rod socket for inserting the end of the hood support rod. A connector is provided on one side of the body assembly. The end of the connector opposite to the body assembly is connected to the clamp body. The clamp body for engaging the hood support rod is an open structure. The inner wall of the support rod socket has a petal-shaped structure. The assembly structure on the body assembly includes a resilient buckle.
[0006] To enhance the anti-detachment effect of the pipe clamp body on the support rod, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the pipe clamp body has a C-shaped opening structure, and the opening edge of the pipe clamp body is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion, and the anti-detachment protrusion is provided with an inclined fastening surface for guiding and fastening the engine hood support rod.
[0007] In order to increase the friction between the pipe clamp body and the support rod and prevent sliding noise, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the pipe clamp body is provided with multiple anti-slip ridges, and the multiple anti-slip ridges are arranged in an arc-shaped array.
[0008] To facilitate the rapid assembly of body parts with the body and reduce assembly resistance, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the elastic buckle is provided with an assembly bevel, and the end of the elastic buckle facing the support rod insertion port is provided with a chamfer to facilitate the insertion of the support rod. The elastic buckle is provided with an anti-disengagement groove adapted to the body engagement structure.
[0009] In order to reduce material usage and improve the structural flexibility of the connector, and to avoid stress concentration, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connector is provided with a long strip-shaped groove in the middle, and the groove extends along the length direction of the connector.
[0010] In order to improve the strength and consistency of the overall structure and simplify the production process, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the body assembly, connector and pipe clamp body are integrally formed into a single structure.
[0011] In order to adapt to the locking structure on different car bodies and improve the reliability of the anti-detachment between the locking structure and the car body, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic buckle is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion adapted to the locking structure of the car body.

[0014] 2) By setting an arc-shaped array of anti-slip ridges on the inner wall of the clamp body, the friction between the clamp and the support rod is significantly improved, further preventing the support rod from sliding in the fixed state and improving the fixing effect.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixing clamp for a car hood support rod, including a body assembly 1, which has an assembly structure for cooperating with the car body. The end of the body assembly 1 has a support rod socket 9 for inserting the end of the hood support rod. A connector 2 is provided on one side of the body assembly 1. The end of the connector 2 facing away from the body assembly 1 is connected to a clamp body 3. The clamp body 3 for locking the hood support rod is an open structure. The inner wall of the support rod socket 9 has a petal-shaped structure. The assembly structure on the body assembly 1 includes an elastic buckle 6, which has an anti-disengagement groove 7 adapted to the car body locking structure.
[0020] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The body assembly 1 is snapped into the predetermined installation position of the body by the elastic buckle 6, and the anti-disengagement groove 7 cooperates with the snap-fit structure of the body to form a reliable anti-disengagement connection; the support rod socket 9 is used to insert and fix the end of the hood support rod (usually the ball end), and the petal-shaped structure of its inner wall can provide multi-directional clamping force through elastic deformation, which can better fit the end of the support rod to compensate for manufacturing and assembly tolerances, and effectively suppress vibration and abnormal noise; the pipe clamp body 3 is used to clamp the rod part of the support rod to realize the overall fixation of the support rod.
[0021] In this embodiment, the pipe clamp body 3 has a C-shaped opening structure, and the opening edge of the pipe clamp body 3 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion 4. The anti-detachment protrusion 4 is provided with an inclined fastening surface 12 for guiding the engine hood support rod into place.
[0022] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The C-shaped opening structure facilitates the insertion and removal of the support rod; the inclined buckle surface 12 can guide the support rod to slide smoothly into the pipe clamp during installation; the anti-detachment protrusion 4 forms a mechanical limit after the support rod is fully inserted, preventing it from accidentally detaching during vibration.
[0023] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the pipe clamp body 3 is provided with multiple anti-slip ridges 5, which are arranged in an arc-shaped array.
[0024] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: the anti-slip ridge 5 can increase the friction between the inner wall of the pipe clamp and the support rod body, prevent the support rod from sliding axially or rotating circumferentially in the fixed state, thereby further reducing the risk of abnormal noise and improving the fixation stability.
[0025] In this embodiment, the elastic buckle 6 is provided with an assembly inclined surface 8, and the end of the elastic buckle 6 facing the support rod insertion port 9 is provided with a chamfer 10.
[0026] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The assembly slope 8 can guide the elastic buckle 6 to smoothly engage with the body mounting hole during the installation process, reducing assembly resistance; the chamfer 10 facilitates the smooth insertion of the support rod end into the support rod socket 9, avoiding assembly difficulties or component damage caused by misalignment.
[0027] In this embodiment, the middle part of the connector 2 is provided with a long strip-shaped groove 11, which extends along the length direction of the connector 2.
[0028] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: On the one hand, the hollow groove 11 can save materials and reduce the overall weight during injection molding; on the other hand, it can provide a certain structural flexibility for the connector 2, so that it has a moderate deformation capacity when subjected to external force, and avoid the risk of fracture caused by stress concentration.
[0029] In this embodiment, the vehicle body assembly 1, the connector 2, and the pipe clamp body 3 are integrally formed as a single structure.
[0030] The principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The integrated structure can be molded in one step using engineering plastics through injection molding, which not only simplifies the production process and reduces manufacturing costs, but also ensures the connection strength and overall consistency between the components, and improves the durability and reliability of the product.
[0031] The working principle and beneficial effects of Example 1: First, the body assembly 1 is fixed to the body mounting position by the elastic buckle 6. The anti-disengagement groove 7 of the elastic buckle 6 interlocks with the body structure to ensure a firm installation. Next, the end of the hood support rod is inserted into the support rod socket 9. The petal-shaped inner wall structure adaptively hugs the end of the support rod, achieving initial positioning and fixation. Finally, the support rod body is guided along the inclined buckle surface 12 and pressed into the C-shaped opening of the clamp body 3. The anti-disengagement protrusion 4 rebounds and locks in place after the rod body is fully inserted. Together with the anti-slip texture 5 on the inner wall, it forms a stable constraint on the rod body. When the support rod needs to support the hood, the elastic buckle 6 and the anti-disengagement groove 7 can effectively prevent the clamp body from loosening. The petal-shaped structure of the support rod socket 9 and the anti-slip texture 5 of the clamp body 3 can suppress the radial sway and axial slippage of the support rod. The integrated structure ensures the continuity of force transmission and overall rigidity. Example 2
[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, the elastic buckle 6 is provided with anti-detachment protrusions 13 that are adapted to the vehicle body engaging structure.
[0033] The working principle and beneficial effects of Example 2: The anti-detachment protrusion 13 is set on the elastic buckle 6. When the body assembly 1 is installed on the body, the elastic buckle 6 undergoes elastic deformation and snaps into the body mounting hole. The anti-detachment protrusion 13 then forms additional interference or engagement with the second engagement structure (such as a groove or another protrusion) on the body. This double locking design means that when the elastic buckle 6 is subjected to continuous vibration load, it needs to overcome the resistance at the anti-detachment protrusion 13 to loosen, which greatly improves the vibration resistance and anti-loosening ability of the connection. It is especially suitable for commercial vehicles or vehicles used for a long time in harsh vibration environments. Example 3
[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, the inner wall of the pipe clamp body 3 is provided with multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions 14 in a circular array, and the multiple anti-slip protrusions 14 in each set are arranged in a rectangular array.
[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of Example 3: Multiple sets of anti-slip protrusions 14 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the pipe clamp body 3, and the protrusions in each set are arranged in a rectangular array. This layout allows the outer surface of the support rod to contact multiple discrete anti-slip protrusions 14 simultaneously in both the circumferential and axial directions after the support rod is inserted. Compared with continuous anti-slip ridges, this discrete, multi-directional protrusion structure can provide more balanced and isotropic anti-slip resistance. When the support rod is subjected to forces in different directions (such as the impact when the hood is closed or the multi-dimensional vibration during vehicle operation), the rectangular array of anti-slip protrusions 14 can more effectively suppress the slippage and micro-rotation of the rod, prevent loosening caused by the failure of anti-slip in a single direction, and further improve the stability and reliability of the fixed pipe clamp under various complex working conditions.
