Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inward-opening handle cover technology, and in particular to an inward-opening handle cover clamp and support structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the current manufacturing process of the inward-opening handle cover 10, the fixture 100 structure used to fix the inward-opening handle cover 10 has certain shortcomings in the painting process. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shows the inward-opening handle cover 10 installed onto an existing tooling fixture 100. Specifically, during the installation of the inward-opening handle cover 10 onto the tooling fixture 100 and its removal from the fixture 100 after painting, the contact and interaction between the clipping portion of the tooling fixture 100 and the inward-opening handle cover 10 often leads to deformation of the cover. This deformation not only affects the appearance quality of the cover, but more importantly, it may further affect its normal function, such as causing assembly difficulties or poor sealing. Furthermore, because the inward-opening handle cover 10 typically has a complex structural design and often possesses a certain degree of toughness, the clipping portion of the tooling fixture 100 is easily subjected to excessive force during disassembly, resulting in damage. Frequent replacement of damaged clips not only increases production costs but also affects production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an inward-opening handle cover clamp and support structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an inward-opening handle cover clamp to avoid damage to both the inward-opening handle cover and the inward-opening handle cover clamp during installation and removal.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A clamp for supporting an inward-opening handle cover, wherein one end of the inward-opening handle cover has a mounting post, the mounting post has a mounting hole, and the mounting post is provided with a plurality of protrusions spaced apart circumferentially, including a base, a support post and a plurality of stop members; The support column and the stop are spaced apart on the base, and their bottom ends are fixedly connected to the top end of the base. A plurality of the stop are spaced apart around the support column in the circumferential direction. Each stop has a slot at its top end. The support column is used to insert into the mounting hole to support the inward-opening handle cover. The slot is used to accommodate the protrusion.
[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the slot is provided on the side of the stop member facing the support column, the slot extends along the height direction of the stop member, and the top end extends to the top surface of the stop member.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a supporting plane is provided at the top of the stop member, and the supporting plane is perpendicular to the height direction of the stop member.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, two stop members are provided, and the two stop members are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the support column.
[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, both the support column and the stop are located at one end of the base along its length.
[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the inner-opening handle cover clamp is made of metal.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the inner-opening handle cover clamp, as described in any of the above claims, further includes an inner-opening handle cover, wherein the support post is inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting post, and at least one of the protrusions is inserted into the slot of the stop member.
[0012] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the side of the stop member facing the support column is fitted with the outer wall of the mounting column.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model discloses an inward-opening handle cover clamp, comprising a base supporting a support column and a stop. Before painting, the inward-opening handle cover is installed on the clamp, which supports the cover during painting. The support column is inserted into a mounting hole to support the cover, and a slot accommodates a protrusion to position the cover relative to the support column along its circumference, preventing the cover from rotating relative to the column. The clamp provides stable support without needing to engage with the cover, minimizing interaction forces during installation and removal, thus preventing damage to either the clamp or the cover due to excessive interaction forces.

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0019] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an inward-opening handle cover clamp for supporting an inward-opening handle cover 10. One end of the inward-opening handle cover 10 has a mounting post 101 with mounting holes. Multiple protrusions 102 are spaced apart circumferentially on the mounting post 101. A base 103 is provided on the inner side of the inward-opening handle cover 10. The mounting post 101 and the protrusions 102 are both fixedly mounted on the base 103. The top of the protrusion 102 is fixedly connected to the base 103, and its side is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting post 101. The inward-opening handle cover clamp includes a base 1, a support post 2, and multiple stop members 3. Support columns 2 and stop members 3 are spaced apart on the base 1, and their bottom ends are fixedly connected to the top end of the base 1. Multiple stop members 3 are spaced apart around the support column 2 in the circumferential direction. Each stop member 3 has a slot 31 at its top end. The support column 2 is used to insert into the mounting hole to support the inward-opening handle cover 10. The slot 31 is used to accommodate the protrusion 102 to position the relative position of the inward-opening handle cover 10 and the support column 2 in the circumferential direction of the support column 2, so that the inward-opening handle cover 10 cannot rotate relative to the support column 2 around the axis of the support column 2.
[0021] The inward-opening handle cover clamp provided in this embodiment has a base 1 supporting a support column 2 and a stop 3. Before painting the inward-opening handle cover 10, the inward-opening handle cover 10 is installed on the clamp, which supports the inward-opening handle cover 10 for painting. The support column 2 is inserted into the mounting hole to support the inward-opening handle cover 10, and the slot 31 is used to accommodate the protrusion 102 to position the relative position of the inward-opening handle cover 10 and the support column 2 along the circumference of the support column 2, so that the inward-opening handle cover 10 cannot rotate relative to the support column 2 around the axis of the support column 2. The inward-opening handle cover clamp can stably support the inward-opening handle cover 10 without engaging with it, so that the inward-opening handle cover clamp or the inward-opening handle cover 10 will not be damaged due to excessive interaction force during the installation and removal of the inward-opening handle cover 10 from the clamp.
[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the slot 31 is provided on the side of the stop 3 facing the support column 2. The slot 31 extends along the height direction of the stop 3 and the top extends to the top surface of the stop 3 so that the protrusion 102 can be smoothly inserted into the slot 31.
[0023] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support plane 32 is provided at the top of the stop member 3, and the support plane 32 is perpendicular to the height direction of the stop member 3. The support plane 32 is used to abut against the bottom surface of the base 103 of the inward-opening handle cover clamp, so that the inward-opening handle cover clamp can more stably support the inward-opening handle cover 10.
[0024] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two stop members 3, which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the support column 2. Too many stop members 3 are not conducive to the quick installation of the inner opening handle cover 10 onto the inner opening handle cover fixture. The two oppositely arranged stop members 3 can effectively position the inner opening handle cover 10 and the support column 2 in the circumferential direction of the support column 2, and support the bottom surface of the base 103.
[0025] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support column 2 and the stop 3 are both located at one end of the base 1 along its length. Since the inner opening handle cover 10 is a long strip structure and the mounting column 101 is located at one end of the inner opening handle cover 10 along its length, in this embodiment, the support column 2 and the stop 3 are located at one end of the base 1 along its length so that the inner opening handle cover clamp can support the inner opening handle cover 10 more stably.
[0026] In this embodiment, the inner-opening handle cover clamp is a metal part so that the inner-opening handle cover clamp has a certain weight and structural strength to meet the need for stable support of the inner-opening handle cover 10 during the painting process.
[0027] like Figures 4-6 As shown, this embodiment also provides an inward-opening handle cover support structure, including the inward-opening handle cover clamp described above, and also includes an inward-opening handle cover 10, with the support post 2 inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting post 101, and at least one protrusion 102 inserted into the slot 31 of the stop member 3.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the side of the stop 3 facing the support column 2 is fitted with the outer wall of the mounting column 101, so that the stop 3 and the support column 2 form a more stable support structure for the inward-opening handle cover 10.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the support plane 32 of the stop member 3 is in contact with the bottom surface of the base 103, so that the first support member supports the base 103, further improving the stability of the inner opening handle cover support structure.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
