1 TARIFF A ROD ARM CENTERING CLAMP TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates to at least one tube and at least one tie rod end found in at least one tie rod used in vehicles. It involves a clamp configured between them. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 10 In heavy vehicles, the gearbox connection used as a short or long tie rod is connected to the wheel and 2 Tie rods are used to connect the wheels. The ends of these parts are called tie rod ends. The given threaded parts are connected to each other by threads cut into the steel pipe. This To tighten the connection, a screw is attached to the pipe, through which 15 holes are threaded. Clamps that apply tightening force by torqueing the nut fitted onto the bolt. It is located there. This clamping force applied to the clamp is transferred from the steel pipe surface to the teeth. In order for the transfer to be carried out, cuts must be made in the pipe surfaces perpendicular to the pipe axis. Channels, also called grooves, need to be opened. As the nut is torqued, these channels open up. The gap closes, and the threaded parts of the tie rod end and pipe are thus tightly interlocked. 20 This happens. Without these channels, the clamp cannot perform its function and the teeth cannot be held tightly together. The locking mechanism cannot be achieved. However, during production, the aforementioned cutting channels (grooves) on the pipe may not have any It may not have opened for this reason. As a result, as explained above, 25 Therefore, the clamp is unable to perform its function. The clamp is mounted without a split channel. Even if this is ensured, the tie rod end can still come out of the pipe. This makes the quality control process susceptible to human error. The result is that the parts of the product, which has somehow passed its final stage of use, will eventually... Separation from each other creates maintenance needs and even affects vehicle steering. Because of its use, it can also lead to dangerous situations. Therefore, 30 The critical issue is that the clamp fails to perform its function, and this occurs without a tearing channel. even the recall of thousands of vehicles containing tie rods with fitted clamps This can cause serious problems. Therefore, the handcuff's inability to perform its function is a serious issue. This can lead to injuries, costs, and time losses. 35 Additionally, tie rods with clamps fitted without a splitting channel (groove) If the product fails the quality control process, it will be disassembled again. 2 This leads to the inspection of all products retrospectively. This also This means a loss of time and costs. In conclusion, all the problems mentioned above necessitate an innovation in the relevant technical field. It has made it mandatory. 5 A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and contribute to the relevant technical field. It is related to a clamp, in order to bring new advantages. 10 One purpose of the invention is to prevent the clamp from being mounted on pipes that do not have a groove. The handcuff is to put it on. Another aim of the invention is to reduce human error in the pipe-clamp connection during the steering arm manufacturing process. The goal is to introduce a clamp that eliminates this factor. All the purposes mentioned above and those that will emerge from the detailed explanation below. The present invention aims to realize at least one component in at least one steering arm used in vehicles. The connection between at least one rod end connected to at least one pipe having a groove is 20 It refers to a clamp that has at least one connecting part for securing it. Accordingly The innovation is to prevent the clamp from being mounted on pipes without a groove by adding the aforementioned groove. It must contain at least one protrusion that can pass through. Thus, it can be clamped onto tie rods that do not have a groove. This prevents the final product from being assembled. A characteristic feature of a possible design of the invention is that the aforementioned protrusion is related to the pipe's central axis. it is configured to extend straight and the protrusion has a cylindrical geometry. This is the case. Thus, the grooves in the pipe move along the central axis of the pipe. is able to. A feature of a possible design of the invention is that the protrusion is outside the clamp under pressure. It is configured by pressing a staple onto its surface. Thus, it is a joining method. By eliminating the need for its use, a more robust connection can be achieved, and Costs can be reduced by eliminating the need for raw materials. 35 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE 3 Figure 1 shows a representative view of the clamp, the subject of the invention, mounted on a pipe.

The following image is provided. 10 Figure 5 shows a representative isometric view of the clamp, the subject of the invention, connected to the pipe. It has been given. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 15 In this detailed explanation, the subject of the invention, the handcuff (10), is only to help to better understand the subject. This is explained with examples that will not create any limiting effect. Figure 1 shows a representative view of the clamp (10) on the pipe (21) 20 It is given. The tie rod (20) in which the clamp (10) is used is essentially the movement coming from the steering wheel, It is the part that helps the vehicle reach the wheels. However, the clamp (10) It can also be used to reinforce any pipe connection. The tie rod (20) contains at least one pipe (21). The said pipe (21) has at least two tie rod ends (30) 25 It is configured between them. The pipe (21) can be of a constricted structure. The mentioned rod The tie rod end (30) is a partially spherical part connected to the pipe (21) by a screw. The tie rod end (30) is the steering It transmits the command received in the box to the tie rod (20). Figure 4 shows the groove (22) on the pipe (21) through which the clamp (10) is passed. A representative view is given. Pipe (21) contains at least one groove (22). The mentioned groove (22) is configured on the surface of the pipe (21) parallel to the central axis of the pipe (21). The groove (22) is made to dislodge the tie rod end (30) which is screwed into the pipe (21). In order to prevent this, the pipe (21) can be bent toward the center of the pipe (21). It provides. After the mentioned bending, the clamp (10) is attached to the pipe (21)-rod end (30) 35 The connection is further strengthened. 4 The clamp (10) is a cylindrical structure with one surface partially open. The clamp (10) is attached to the pipe. (21) contains at least one gap through which it passes. Thus, the clamp (10) goes around the pipe (21). It can pass through the pipe (21) in such a way as to wrap it. Figure 5 shows a representative isometric 5 of the clamp (10) connected to the pipe (21). The appearance is given. The clamp (10) contains at least one connecting part (13). The mentioned The connection part (13) contains at least one connection hole. The connection part (13) contains two Thus, the clamp (10) passed through the pipe (21) through the aforementioned connection holes. reducing the inner diameter of the clamp (10) by tightening it with at least one connecting element. is provided and thus the pipe (21) is compressed. The mentioned connection element is essentially 10 It is a bolt, and the connection is a bolt-nut connection. Figure 3 shows a representative isometric view of the handcuff (10) that is the subject of the invention. Handcuff (10) contains at least one protrusion (111) configured on at least one of its inner surfaces. The inner surface mentioned (11) is the surface where the clamp (10) contacts the pipe (21). 15 The aforementioned protrusion (111) essentially extends towards the central axis of the clamp (10). It is a structure. In the preferred design of the invention, the protrusion mentioned (111) is cylindrical in shape. However, alternative configurations can also include various polygonal structures such as triangles and squares. The number of protrusions (111) is equal to the number of grooves (22) in the pipe (21). In the clamp (10) clamp (10) 20 to pipes (21) where the groove (22) is not opened, thanks to the protrusion (111). It will not be assembled. Thus, control of the cutting channel will not be left to the operator's initiative. It can be understood. To make it even clearer, the inner diameter of the clamp (10) and the outer diameter of the pipe (21) It is able to pass exactly with the diameter and the mentioned protrusions (111) clamp (10) Because it is a structure that extends towards the center, the clamp (10) has narrowed the inner diameter. and thus the protrusions (111) are attached to the pipe (21) and the pipe (21) and clamp (10) 25 They are unable to connect. The protrusion (111) is essentially made by punching the outside of the clamp (10) under pressure. It is created. At least one hole (12) will form the diameter of the outer surface of the clamp (10). As a result of the force applied with the press of the size, a protrusion (11) occurs on the inner surface (11). This results in both the need for a merging method and the merging method itself. Connection problems that may occur after use can be eliminated. In addition, working with small dimensions simplifies the production process and... Costs are reduced by eliminating the need for extra raw materials. It becomes even clearer. In order to do this, the mentioned hole (12) occurs after the applied pressure. That is, 35 The protrusion (111) essentially resulted from the plastic deformation of the clamp (10) inside the clamp (10). It is the material that forms the clamp (10) extending from the surface (11). The groove (22) can be opened in the desired number and at the desired angle according to this number. Thanks to the protrusion (111), the clamp (10) is prevented from rotating around the pipe (21) axis, centered at the desired location, the groove (22), in other words the cutting channel, has been checked is. 5 In the alternative configuration of the invention, the clamp (10) is also used in the connection of plastic hoses. The number of these protrusions (111) to be created on the inner surface (11) of the clamps (10) can be used. By increasing the pressure, a clamp (10) is fitted onto the hose and the nut is torqued at a specific point. Thanks to the pressure exerted by the protrusions (111) on the hose surface, the hoses are attached to the 10 It can also provide solutions to problems related to exiting a point. In light of all that has been said, the invention works as follows: A groove (22) is opened in the pipe (21) The clamp (10) will be passed through such that the protrusions (111) move inside the groove (22). If If the groove (22) is not opened, the clamp (10) will make contact with the pipe (21) by the protrusions (111) pipe 15 because it will prevent the movement of the clamp (10) along the central axis It will not be able to be attached. Then the tie rod end (30) is attached and the clamp (10) is attached from the connection part. (13) The connection is strengthened by tightening. Therefore, by means of the clamp (10) with protrusions (111), where there is no groove (22) 20 around the pipes (21), with protrusions (111) touching the pipe (21) wall around the pipe (21) Because it is not possible to pass through, the human factor can be eliminated. In this way, the gutter (22) The tie rods (20) consisting of clamps (10) assembled with pipes (21) that are not present in the middle The correct operation of the tie rods (20), which can be removed and are of great importance in vehicles. This is ensured and time and cost problems can be eliminated. In addition, 25 It is also possible to ensure that the handcuff (10) is fitted in the correct position. The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the claims attached hereto, and these details are strictly adhered to. The explanation cannot be limited to those given for illustrative purposes. Because a technically skilled person... The person, without deviating from the main theme of the invention, can create similar 30 based on the above-mentioned points. It is clear that these structures can emerge. 6 REFERENCE NUMBERS GIVEN IN THE FIGURE Handcuff 11 Interior Surface 111 Projection 5 12 Holes 13 Connection Section Rotor Arm 21 Pipes 22 Channel 10 Rotor Head
