Detailed description of the invention
Embodiment one:
Shown in composition graphs 1 to Fig. 5, the present embodiment provides a kind of flexible pipe location structure, comprise matrix 3, first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2, first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2 are positioned at the both sides of flexible pipe 8 wiring direction, first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2 mutually stagger on flexible pipe wiring direction, there is between first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2 the first gap 10 passed for flexible pipe 8 and second gap 20 of locating flexible pipe, the linear width in the first gap 10 is not less than the outer diameter D of flexible pipe 8, the transverse width in the first gap 10 is less than the outer diameter D of flexible pipe, the transverse width in the second gap 20 is not less than the outer diameter D of flexible pipe 8.
First keeper 1 comprises the first location division 11 and the first limiting section 12, first location division 11 is connected with matrix 3, first limiting section 12 is located on the first location division 11, first limiting section 12 extends to the side at the second keeper 2 place, second keeper 2 comprises the second location division 21 and the second limiting section 22, second location division 21 is connected with matrix 3, second limiting section 22 is located on the second location division 21, second limiting section 22 extends to the side at the first keeper 1 place, the second gap 20 is formed between first location division 11 and the second location division 21, the lateral separation L1 i.e. transverse width in the second gap 20 of the first location division 11 and the second location division 21, the first gap 10 is formed between first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22, the air line distance L3 i.e. linear width in the first gap 10 of the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22, the lateral separation L2 i.e. transverse width in the first gap 10 of the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22.
For the ease of understanding, the surface 30 in accompanying drawing, matrix 3 being arranged the first keeper 1, second keeper 2 is set to plane, and in actual product, do not have particular/special requirement, plane or curved surface are all feasible.For convenience of explanation, this surface 30 of matrix 3 is set to and is on horizontal plane, therefore in the present embodiment, and the so-called direction laterally referring to vertical flexible pipe wiring direction and parallel water plane.Lateral separation L1 is that the second gap 20 is used for the minimum dimension of accommodating flexible pipe after flexible pipe is restrained, therefore L1 >=D is required, lateral separation L2 carries out spacing full-size to flexible pipe, the second gap 20 is deviate from by the first gap 10 after preventing flexible pipe restrained, therefore L2 < D is required, air line distance L3 passes through for flexible pipe and loads the minimum dimension in the second gap 20, therefore requires L3 >=D.In actual applications, the utility model is useful in the figurate body surface of any tool, and therefore the surface of matrix 3 is except can being horizontal plane, perpendicular, clinoplain, also can be the Else Rule such as cambered surface, sphere or Irregular Boundary Surface.
First see the flexible pipe 8 shown in the dotted line in Fig. 1, just in time be in installment state, because flexible pipe itself has certain elasticity, flexible pipe 8 very easily just can bend to a certain degree by assembly crewman, flexible pipe 8 is made not need crimp just can pass the first gap 10, bending flexible pipe one is decontroled, flexible pipe 8 will automatically restore to the position in Fig. 1 shown in solid line, and now due to the lateral separation L2 < D of the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22, the flexible pipe 8 therefore in Fig. 1 shown in solid line cannot directly be deviate from from the second gap 20.Flexible pipe will be deviate from from the second gap 20, first must bend to state shown in dotted line in Fig. 1, then could be departed from from the flexible pipe location structure of the present embodiment by the first gap 10.The installation that whole installation process does not relate to other third party's parts such as screw is fixed, and only needs by flexible pipe 8 slight curvature once, very simply, easily to realize.
In the present embodiment, first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22 all linearly extend, be convenient to processing, particularly be convenient to injection molding, the bearing of trend of the first limiting section 12 and the angle of flexible pipe wiring direction are α, the bearing of trend of the second limiting section 22 and the angle of flexible pipe wiring direction are β, and in addition to 90 deg, α and β is the angle of getting acute angle.In the present embodiment, α=β=30 °, and the bearing of trend of the second limiting section 22 is parallel with the bearing of trend of the first limiting section 12.In addition, α can arbitrarily angled (not containing 0) between 0 to 90 ° yet, and β can arbitrarily angled (not containing 0) between 0 to 90 ° yet, as long as meet the dimensional requirement of L2 and L3.Consider that flexible pipe degree of crook is when mounted unsuitable excessive, avoid hose bending excessively to cause damage, α and β generally gets 20 ° to 70 °.Under the development length of the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22 and the constant prerequisite of L3, the angle of α and β is less, and flexible pipe needs the degree that bends less when mounted, can be more convenient for installing, but the possibility that flexible pipe is surprisingly deviate from is higher; The angle of α and β is larger, and flexible pipe needs the degree that bends larger when mounted, and the possibility that flexible pipe is surprisingly deviate from is lower.
The first limiting section 12 is also had to be S1 to the distance on matrix 3 surface,
same, the second limiting section 22 is S2 to the distance on matrix 3 surface,
in the present embodiment, S1=S2.In addition, when
time, flexible pipe is just in time fixed, just can not be movable in the second gap 20 after being had good positioning.
In the present embodiment, the development length of the first limiting section 12 does not exceed the half of hose outside diameter, same, the development length of the second limiting section 22 does not exceed the half of hose outside diameter yet, realize flexible pipe positioning function with the material usage economized most, and also can reduce flexible pipe degree of crook when mounted.In order to increase the reliability of flexible pipe location, the development length of the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22 suitably can be increased.
For the ease of processing equally, first location division 11 and the second location division 21 linearly extend respectively, in the present embodiment, first location division 11 and the second location division 21 are parallel to each other, vertical first location division 11 of first limiting section 12, vertical second location division 21 of second limiting section 22, when adopting injection molding, said structure is conducive to depanning.The surface being perpendicular to matrix 3 that first location division 11 and the second location division 21 display in the accompanying drawings, in actual product, the surface of relative matrix 3 is vertical or to tilt be all feasible.The length of the first location division 11 is not necessarily equal with the length of the second location division 21, and what general needs controlled is make the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22 be positioned in same plane, and the setting in conjunction with the present embodiment will be positioned on same horizontal plane exactly.
In the present embodiment, the first location division 11 is arc-shaped curved surface towards the sidewall in the second gap 20, and the second location division 21 is arc-shaped curved surface towards the sidewall in the second gap 20, and after flexible pipe is restrained, arc-shaped curved surface can prevent flexible pipe to be scratched.In other surfaces of first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2, also all adopt fillet surface to connect between two surfaces be connected, avoid flexible pipe to be scratched by corner angle.
In the present embodiment, the first keeper 1 and the spacing L4 of the second keeper 2 on flexible pipe/flexible wiring direction can not be too small or excessive, and general control is at D≤L4≤2D.L4 refers to the beeline between the sidewall of the first keeper 1 and the sidewall of the second keeper 2 on flexible pipe/flexible wiring direction.Can not be squeezed when considering installation flexible pipe/flexible cord, the dimensional requirement of L3 >=D be ensured, if L4 < is D, in requisition for shortening the length of limiting section to ensure that L3 is enough large, limiting section can be caused too short, affect the binding effect of flexible pipe, flexible pipe may depart from constraint.If L4 > is 2D, the first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2 globality then can be caused to be deteriorated, can not as a complete location structure, the binding effect of flexible pipe also can decline, because the possibility that the first independent keeper 1 cannot avoid flexible pipe to move to opposite side, the second independent keeper 2 too.
As preferred structure, the first location division 11 and the second location division 21 are all cylinders, and the first limiting section 12 and the second limiting section 22 are the projections protruded on cylinder, and projection and cylinder form hook structure, thus are retrained by flexible pipe.In addition, which kind of concrete shape the first keeper 1 and the second keeper 2 adopt, as long as have the function of the present embodiment, are all equivalent structures.
