Technical Field
The invention relates to an assembly of an adapter and a nozzle arrangement, which assembly can be used for a wiper blade of a vehicle. The invention also relates to a method for assembling the adapter and the nozzle structure.
Background
A nozzle structure for spraying a washer fluid is attached to a wiper arm of some vehicles. However, fixing the nozzle structure at the hook point in the middle of the wiper blade is not easy to operate, as the hook point area has an internal connection structure with the blade assembly, there is not sufficient space for a fixing feature.
Some prior embodiments punch a protrusion into the metal arm adapter that snaps into a recess in the nozzle structure, but this connection is not easily detachable and may scrape paint on the nozzle or wiper arm adapter.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above technical problems faced by the prior art, the present invention proposes a new connection of a nozzle structure, by which the nozzle structure can be assembled to an adapter on a wiper arm by the following steps: the nozzle structure and the adapter are firstly pre-positioned together through the pin-round hole connecting structure, then the nozzle structure is rotated around the pin, and when the nozzle structure and the adapter are rotated to the specific position, the nozzle structure and the adapter are finally fixed together through the buckle connecting structure.
Compared with the existing connection mode, the connection mode of the invention has the advantages that:
the nozzle structure assembled to the adapter (and thus to the wiper arm) by this connection can be assembled and disassembled easily without the need for additional tools;
the nozzle is attached directly to the side wall of the adapter, with a small volume, good aerological properties and an aesthetic pattern;
compatible with current component manufacturing processes, without the need for added costs.
The above features and advantages and other features and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description of the best modes for carrying out the invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Description
The specific construction and assembly of the adapter and nozzle arrangement proposed by the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
Fig. 1 shows the assembled state of the nozzle arrangement 2 and the adapter 1. The adapter 1 may be a separate component from the wiper arm of the vehicle and be connected to the wiper arm by any connection means, for example, the adapter is connected to the wiper arm by receiving a certain connection portion of the wiper arm. Alternatively, the adapter can also be part of the wiper arm. The nozzle arrangement 2 is assembled to the adapter 1, and thus to the wiper arm of the vehicle, in the manner described below.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the adapter 1 and the nozzle arrangement 2 shown in fig. 1, wherein the nozzle arrangement 2 is fixed to the side wall 12 of the adapter 1, to be precise, the nozzle arrangement 2 is fixed to the outer surface of the side wall 12 of the adapter from the outside of the adapter. Fig. 3 and 6 show the adapter 1 and its side wall 12 more clearly, where x denotes the longitudinal axis of the adapter 1, and in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis x the adapter 1 may be substantially U-shaped (as in fig. 6, 7), the side wall 13 being one of the branches of the U-shaped structure.
Referring to fig. 3-7, the specific configurations of the adapter 1 and the nozzle arrangement 2 and the corresponding relationship therebetween are shown. In general, the adapter 1 proposed by the present invention has first and second adapter mounting features 1a, 1b for connecting and securing a nozzle structure 2, the nozzle structure 2 having a body 7, a nozzle 8 extending from the body, and first and second nozzle structure mounting features 2a, 2 b. The first and second nozzle structure mounting features 2a, 2b are for mating with first and second adapter mounting features 1a, 1b of the adapter 1, respectively. Wherein the first adapter mounting feature 1a and the first nozzle structure mounting feature 2a cooperate to form a first connection between the adapter 1 and the nozzle structure 2 in the form of a pin-and-round hole, the nozzle structure 2 and the adapter 1 being rotatably positioned relative to each other to function as a pre-positioning when connected only by the first connection. The second adapter mounting feature 1b and the second nozzle structure mounting feature 2b cooperate to form a second connection between the adapter 1 and the nozzle structure 2 in the form of a snap fit. The nozzle arrangement 2 is fixed to the adapter 1 by means of a first and a second connection.
In the illustrated embodiment, the first adapter mounting feature 1a is a circular hole 4, and correspondingly, the first nozzle structure mounting feature is a locating pin 3 adapted to be inserted into the circular hole 4, the diameter of the circular hole 4 being slightly larger than the diameter of the locating pin 3 so as to be freely rotatable therein after the locating pin is inserted into the circular hole. Preferably, the circular hole 4 may be located near one longitudinal end 15 of the adapter 1. As shown in fig. 5, when assembling the adapter 1 and the nozzle arrangement 2, said positioning pin 3 is first inserted into said circular hole 4 in the direction of the arrow in the figure to form a first connection in the form of a pin-circular hole, so that the nozzle arrangement 2 and the adapter 1 are rotatably pre-positioned relative to each other. Although the figures only show embodiments where the first adapter mounting feature 1a is a circular hole 4 and the first nozzle structure mounting feature is a locating pin 3, it is also contemplated that the first adapter mounting feature 1a is a locating pin and the first nozzle structure mounting feature 2a is a circular hole.
In the illustrated embodiment, the second adapter mounting feature 1b is a catch slot 5 formed at the edge 13, and correspondingly, the second nozzle structure mounting feature is a snap tab 6. As shown, the engaging protrusion 6 may be a substantially L-shaped elongated arm extending from the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2, but the engaging protrusion 6 is not limited to such a form as long as the engaging protrusion 6 can be engaged with the catch groove 5 to form a snap connection. In this way, after the positioning pin 3 is inserted into the circular hole 4 to form the first connection portion in the form of a pin-circular hole, the engagement projection 6 can be engaged to the catch groove 5 by rotating the nozzle structure 2 relative to the adapter 1. Preferably, said snap-in projection 6 is made of plastic material integrally with the body 7 of the nozzle structure, the snap-in projection 6 having a certain flexibility, either due to its elongated structural form or due to the nature of its material itself, allowing its deformation before snapping into the snap-in slot 5. Although the figures only show an embodiment where the second adapter mounting feature 1b is a snap groove 5 and the second nozzle structure mounting feature 2b is a snap projection 6, a person skilled in the art may also make simple structural variations to design the second adapter mounting feature as a snap projection and the second nozzle structure mounting feature as a snap groove.
The nozzle arrangement 2 also has a stop 2d, at least a portion 9 of said stop 2d being parallel to the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement such that, after the nozzle arrangement and adapter are mounted together, a portion 10 of said side wall 12 of the adapter 1 is sandwiched between the portion 9 of the stop 2d and the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2 to resist movement of the nozzle arrangement 2 away from the adapter 1. Referring to fig. 7-8, the positional relationship of the stopper 2d to the side wall 12 is shown. The stop 2d may extend from the body 7 or nozzle 8 of the nozzle arrangement such that, when the locating pin 3 is inserted into the circular aperture 4 and the nozzle arrangement 2 is rotated about the locating pin 3, a portion 10 of the side wall 12 of the adaptor follows between a portion 9 of the stop 2d and the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2.
Furthermore, the adapter 1 has a bent structure 1c extending from the side wall 12, said bent structure 1c having an extension 14 substantially parallel to the side wall 12 of the adapter. As shown, the bend 1c preferably extends outwardly from near one corner of the side wall 12. Accordingly, the nozzle structure 2 may have a stopper groove 2c engaging the bent structure 1 c. The retaining groove 2c may be formed at the bottom edge 17 of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2. When the nozzle arrangement 2 is mounted with the adapter 1, a part of the bent structure 1c engages into the retaining groove 2c and a part 11 of the nozzle arrangement is clamped between the extension 14 of said bent structure 1c and said side wall 12 of the adapter.
Referring to fig. 4-7, the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2 may be generally elongate plate-like with a generally rectangular face opposite the side wall 12 of the adapter. When the nozzle arrangement 2 is assembled to the adapter 1, the longitudinal axis y of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement 2 is parallel to the longitudinal axis x of the adapter, i.e. the length direction of the body 7 corresponds to the length direction of the adapter 1. Preferably, with reference to fig. 9A-C, the width H of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement is smaller than or equal to the width H of said side wall 12 of the adapter 1. When the nozzle arrangement 2 is mounted to the side wall 12 of the adapter 1, the top rim 16 of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement does not protrude from the top rim 18 of the side wall 12 of the adapter, that is to say the top rim 16 of said body 7 is not higher than the top rim 18 of said side wall 12. At the same time, the bottom edge 17 of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement does not protrude from the bottom edge 19 of the side wall 12 of the adapter either, i.e. the bottom edge 17 of the body 7 of the nozzle arrangement does not exceed the bottom edge 19 of the side wall 12. Although the top edge 16 of the body 7 is shown in the drawings as being lower than the top edge 18 of the side wall 12, the top edge 16 may be disposed flush with the top edge 18. By the arrangement, the assembly formed by the nozzle structure and the adapter has a simple and attractive appearance, and saves space.
By means of the features described above, the adapter 1 and the nozzle arrangement 2 can be easily assembled and disassembled. Wherein fig. 9A-C show in a schematic way the method of assembling the adapter 1 with the nozzle arrangement 2. In particular, the method of assembling the nozzle structure 2 to the adapter 1 comprises the following steps:
step 1: the first adapter mounting feature 1a and the first nozzle structure mounting feature 2a are fitted together to form a first connection in the form of a pin-and-round hole, so that the nozzle structure 2 and the adapter 1 are rotatably pre-positioned relative to each other. In the particular embodiment shown in the drawings, the first adapter mounting feature 1a is a circular hole 4 and the first nozzle structure mounting feature is a locating pin 3, and this step is therefore embodied by inserting said locating pin 3 into said circular hole 4 to form a first connection in the form of a pin-circular hole, so that the nozzle structure 2 and the adapter 1 are rotationally pre-positioned with respect to each other.
Step 2: the nozzle arrangement 2 is rotated relative to the adapter 1. In the embodiment shown in the figures, this step is embodied by rotating the nozzle arrangement 2 relative to the adapter 1 about the pin 3 as a pivot axis.
Wherein, during this step 2, by rotation, a portion 11 of the nozzle structure 2 is drawn between the extension 14 of the bent structure 1c of the adapter and the side wall 12 of the adapter, and a portion of the playing structure 1c is engaged in the retaining groove 2 c. Furthermore, during step 2, by rotating, a portion 10 of the side wall 12 of the adapter follows between a portion 9 of the stop 2d and the body 7 of the nozzle structure 2. Both the bending structure 1c and the stop block 2d can restrict the movement of the nozzle structure 2 away from the adapter.
And step 3: the rotation of the nozzle arrangement 2 is continued until the second adapter mounting feature 1b and the second nozzle arrangement mounting feature 2b form a second connection in the form of a snap. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the second adapter mounting feature 1b is a catch slot 5 and the second nozzle arrangement mounting feature 2b is a snap tab 6, so this step is embodied as continuing to rotate the nozzle arrangement 2 with the catch slot 5 and snap tab 6 adjacent until the snap tab 6 snaps into the catch slot 5 to form a snap-form second connection.
In this way, the adapter 1 and the nozzle arrangement 2 can be assembled together easily without the need for additional tools. In addition, the nozzle structure assembled to the adapter by such a connection manner can be conveniently disassembled only by unlocking the second adapter mounting feature 1b and the second nozzle structure mounting feature 2b into the second connecting part in a snap-fit manner and releasing the limiting function of the limiting block 2d and the bending structure 1 c. Specifically, the operator may first pull the snap tabs 6 outwardly out of engagement with the card slots 5. Subsequently, the nozzle structure 2 is rotated accordingly, and during the rotation, the bending structure 1c will leave the limiting groove 2c, and the limiting block 2d will also release the limitation on the side wall 12. Finally, the nozzle arrangement 2 can be removed from the adapter 1.
The preferred embodiments of the adapter-nozzle structural assembly proposed by the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings, however, without departing from the concept of the present invention, many variations can be made to the above-described specific embodiments and various combinations of the technical features and structures proposed by the present invention can be made without departing from the scope of protection thereof.
