Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Technical Field> The disclosed technology belongs to the technical field of the structure of a clamp for routing operating cables such as accelerator cables of automobiles to engine rooms, etc.

Therefore, in this invention, a bracket forming a base is integrally fixed to a flat surface of a base material such as an automobile engine or a chassis, a wire rod is fixed through this bracket, and a damping part is attached to the wire rod. This invention relates to an automobile operating cable clamp, in which a holder portion is formed for an operating cable whose one end is connected to a pedal in the passenger compartment of an automobile, and the operating cable is clamped flexibly while regulating the path of the operating cable. , the wire rod is one from the starting end to the terminal end, and two or more circular holder parts are formed via a damping part having at least a straight part in the middle, regulating the path of the operating cable. This invention relates to an operating cable clamp for an automobile, which has a function and is provided with another vibration damping part between the bracket and the vibration damping part so as to be perpendicular to the vibration damping part.

<Prior Art> As is well known, in the engine room of an automobile, an accelerator cable is connected to an accelerator pedal in the driver's seat via a link, and is routed so as to be connected to a lever connected to a throttle shaft of a carburetor. However, the accelerator cable must be regulated to have a specified length and be routed in a specified direction in the engine room to avoid interference with other equipment, so as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6. , a plate spring type clamp 4 in which a holder part 3, 3', 3'' is formed by a spring 2, 2', 2'' having a mounting hole 1 for mounting on a plane part such as a cylinder block or a body panel of an engine; 4', 4'' was there.

In this type of clamp 4, 4', 4'', each holder part 3, 3', 3'' has a direction regulating function by itself, as shown in the figure, so that it cannot be connected with other equipment. Although this interference can be avoided, the spring material does not have a vibration damping function, and therefore cannot absorb vibrations such as engine vibrations and body vibrations while driving, and the vibrations are transmitted to the accelerator pedal, causing discomfort. I had a problem like this.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In order to solve this problem, as shown in Figs. A single wire rod 7, 7' is attached, and a curled holder portion 8 is formed at the tip of a predetermined length, through which the accelerator cable is inserted. There was also a type in which the shank part of the wire up to part 8 was used as a damping part, or, as shown in FIG. 8, a spring part 9 that had been curled was used as a vibration damping part.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, although this type of cable has a vibration damping function, it is not possible to control the direction of the cable, and therefore a plurality of clamps 10, 10' must be provided. It has the drawbacks of poor workability and poor serviceability, and also has the disadvantage of being expensive.

For example, as seen in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 37-9637, there is a technique in which the wire of the stopper of a gas supply hose is curled to clamp the main body at the front and back of the straight part. However, this type of technology is a technology that prevents the hose from being removed from the main body of the Kotoku, and is a technology that clamps the operating cable of the car such as the accelerator cable, and also provides directionality and vibration-proofing function. No technology has been disclosed, and therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be used for routing accelerator cables, etc. in the engine room of a car.

In addition, as seen in the device proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-49077, a jig for attaching a water supply hose, etc. to the flange of a container such as a bucket has been developed, but similar to the above-mentioned technology, it is not suitable for automobiles. There is a drawback in that it is extremely difficult to apply this technique to a technology that combines the directionality of operating cables such as accelerator cables and vibration isolation functions.

<Purpose of the invention> The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of routing operating cables that are subject to rocking vibrations, such as accelerator cables, in the engine room of automobiles based on the above-mentioned conventional technology, and to solve the problem of the wiring of operating cables that are subject to vibrations such as accelerator cables in the engine room of automobiles based on the above-mentioned conventional technology. It has good workability, and even in a narrow engine room, it can fully perform the function of regulating the direction of the wiring, and it also prevents vibrations from the engine and body from being transmitted to the accelerator pedal, etc., reducing chatter during driving. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent automobile operating cable clamp that will benefit the field of application of wiring technology in the automobile industry by preventing such occurrences.

<Problems and actions to solve the problems> In accordance with the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of this invention, which is based on the scope of the above-mentioned utility model registration claims, is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to solve the above-mentioned problems. A bracket is fixed to the flat part of the wire, the base of one wire is fixed to the bracket, a vibration damping part having a straight part is formed in the middle of the one wire, and a plurality of vibrations are connected through the vibration damping part. By forming a holder part, the route of the operating cable can be regulated in a predetermined direction through the holder part, and vibrations of the engine and body panel during driving can be prevented from being formed between the bracket and the holder part. The vibration damping part has at least a linear part and is absorbed by another vibration damping part orthogonal to the vibration damping part, so that chatter vibration is not transmitted to the accelerator pedal etc. through the operating cable, thereby maintaining comfort. This was achieved by taking technical measures to

<Example> Next, an example of this invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 to 3. Incidentally, parts having the same features as those in FIGS. 4 to 8 will be described using the same reference numerals.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, reference numeral 5 denotes a base as a bracket made of spring steel, and a mounting hole 1 for the engine cylinder block or body panel is bored in the center of the base, and claws are provided on two sides of the base. 6, 6 are formed to fix a wire rod 7 made of a piece of piano wire or the like whose base is bent into an L shape.

The wire rod 7 has a straight part as a damping part 9' in the middle thereof, which intersects at 90 degrees in a non-contact manner with the vertical part which also serves as one damping part in the figure. A pair of holder parts 8, 8 are formed sandwiching part 9', through which an accelerator cable (not shown) serving as an operating cable is inserted and routed, and its route is regulated.

Therefore, when the L-shaped base of the wire rod 7 is fixed using the claws 6, 6 of the base 5, the base 5 and the wire rod 7 are integrated and formed as one unit jig, and the base 5 and the wire rod 7 are integrated into one unit jig. By attaching the clamp 11 to a cylinder block or body panel (not shown) of an engine through the attachment hole 1 of the base 5, the clamp 11 can be fixed in a desired direction with the holder parts 8, 8 facing in a desired direction. I can do it.

Therefore, for the accelerator cable as an operating cable, the holder parts 8, 8 can be fitted and clamped in advance or halfway through the spring properties, and the predetermined posture of the clamp 11 allows the path of the accelerator cable to be fixed. are regulated to a certain extent and can be routed without interfering with other equipment in the engine room.

The vibrations of the engine and body panel while the car is running tend to be transmitted to the accelerator cable, but even if this happens, the wire rods 7 of the clamp 11 are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other in the middle. A horizontal damping section 9' is formed between the holder parts 8 and 8, and a vertical damping section 9' is formed between the holder parts 8 and the bracket 5. Since a part that also serves as a vibration part is formed, both vertical and horizontal vibrations are suppressed in this part, and are not transmitted to the accelerator cable, so that vibrations are not transmitted to the accelerator pedal in the driver's seat. Chatter vibrations are not transmitted, allowing for comfortable driving control and at the same time guaranteeing a comfortable ride.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the holder parts 8, 8 are provided at three locations, whereas the holder parts 8, 8 are provided at two locations in the above-mentioned embodiment. The damping parts 9', 9' and the vertical part which also serves as a damping part are formed, so if the holder parts 8, 8, 8 are made in a straight line when wiring the accelerator cable, The straightness of the route is accurately regulated and maintained, or by forming the front and rear holder parts 8, 8 with a predetermined shift relative to the central holder part 8, a route with a bend in the middle can be formed. You can.

Further, in this embodiment as well, horizontal and vertical vibrations from the engine and body panels are sufficiently regulated by the damping parts 9', 9' as in the above embodiment.
Chatter vibrations are not transmitted to the accelerator pedal.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a pair of holder parts 8, 8 are formed, but by forming the vibration damping part 9' between them in a wave shape, the vibration damping part 9' can be substantially applied by the length of the vibration damping part 9'. This allows the vibration damping function to be better exerted in the vertical direction, etc.

Of course, also in this embodiment, the vertical portion of the wire rod 7 has a vibration damping function in the horizontal direction.

It goes without saying that the embodiment of this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, for one wire, the shank part, the holder part,
Further, various aspects such as changing the shape and thickness of the vibration damping portion can be adopted.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the cable to be clamped can be applied not only to the accelerator cable but also to other operating cables.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to this invention, basically, an operating cable, such as an accelerator cable routed in a narrow engine room of a car, which has one end connected to a pedal inside the vehicle, can interfere with other equipment. In addition to being able to regulate the route in the desired direction without causing any damage, it also sufficiently absorbs vibrations in the vertical and horizontal directions of the engine and body panels, etc., and prevents cracking vibrations from accelerator pedals in the driver's seat, etc. This has the excellent effect of allowing comfortable control and driving without transmission.

In addition, since the operating cable clamp of this invention is integrated into one unit, it can be attached to the engine cylinder block or body panel to regulate the direction of the operating cable and absorb vibrations, so there is no need to attach multiple units. As a result, the assembly work can be easily performed, which has the positive side of improving serviceability.

In addition, since it is only necessary to pre-bend and attach one wire to one bracket, the structure is simple, the cost can be reduced, and the weight can be reduced even though it has multiple functions. , it has an excellent effect of helping to improve fuel efficiency.

Therefore, in this invention, with the above-mentioned configuration and effects, vibrations peculiar to operating cables such as accelerator cables installed in narrow engine rooms of automobiles can be suppressed, and the arrangement in narrow engine rooms can be suppressed. This ensures the directivity of the cable, which is a unique effect of an automobile operating cable, which is different from a simple fluid supply hose or the like.

In addition, since a vibration damping part having at least a linear portion is formed between each of the brackets, and the vibration damping part between each holder part is provided in a substantially perpendicular state, the vibration damping part in the engine room is An excellent effect is achieved in that vibrations in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions can be suppressed in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
