Abstract

A pipeline mounting head for a vehicle, comprising a mounting plate, two branch pipelines located on one side of the mounting plate, and a main pipeline located on the other side of the mounting plate and communicating with the branch pipelines, where a snap-fit member is provided on the mounting plate, and is located on the same side of the mounting plate as the branch pipelines. The snap-fit member is arranged on the mounting plate, so that the vehicle pipeline mounting head can be easily fixed to a vehicle, has a simple mounting structure, and is easy to operate. Further disclosed are a pipeline structure and a vehicle having the pipeline structure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A pipeline mounting head for a vehicle, comprising:
a mounting plate, two branch pipelines located on one side of the mounting plate, and a main pipeline located on the other side of the mounting plate and communicated with the branch pipelines, wherein the mounting plate is provided with a snap-fit member, and the snap-fit member and the branch pipelines are located on the same side of the mounting plate, and a lower part of the main pipeline is provided with a positioning pin which is perpendicular to the mounting plate, and the positioning pin is disconnected from the main pipeline when stressed.

2 . The pipeline mounting head for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the snap-fit member is provided with an elastically deformable snap-fit part, and a gap is provided between the snap-fit part and the mounting plate.

3 . The pipeline mounting head for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate is provided with a sealing gasket, and a middle of the sealing gasket is provided with an opening through which the branch pipelines and the snap-fit member penetrate.

4 . A pipeline structure, comprising:
a pipeline mounting head for a vehicle, the pipeline mounting head for the vehicle comprising a mounting plate, two branch pipelines located on one side of the mounting plate, and a main pipeline located on the other side of the mounting plate and communicated with the branch pipelines, wherein the mounting plate is provided with a snap-fit member, and the snap-fit member and the branch pipelines are located on the same side of the mounting plate, a lower part of the main pipeline is provided with a positioning pin which is perpendicular to the mounting plate, and the positioning pin is disconnected from the main pipeline when stressed, and the pipeline structure further comprising a cooling water pipe connected with the main pipeline.

5 . The pipeline structure according to claim 4 , wherein the cooling water pipe comprises a corrugated pipe and a nylon pipe connected with the corrugated pipe, and the corrugated pipe is connected with both ends of the main pipeline.

6 . The pipeline structure according to claim 4 , wherein the snap-fit member is provided with an elastically deformable snap-fit part, and a gap is provided between the snap-fit part and the mounting plate.

7 . The pipeline structure according to claim 4 , wherein the mounting plate is provided with a sealing gasket, and a middle of the sealing gasket is provided with an opening through which the branch pipelines and the snap-fit member penetrate.

8 . A vehicle, comprising:
a pipeline structure, the pipeline structure comprising a pipeline mounting head for a vehicle and a cooling water pipe, the pipeline mounting head for the vehicle comprising a mounting plate, two branch pipelines located on one side of the mounting plate, and a main pipeline located on the other side of the mounting plate and communicated with the branch pipelines, wherein the mounting plate is provided with a snap-fit member, and the snap-fit member and the branch pipelines are located on the same side of the mounting plate, a lower part of the main pipeline is provided with a positioning pin which is perpendicular to the mounting plate, and the positioning pin is disconnected from the main pipeline when stressed, and the cooling water pipe is connected with the main pipeline, and the vehicle further comprising a vehicle body and a subframe assembled on the vehicle body, wherein after the pipeline structure is assembled on the subframe, the subframe and the pipeline structure are assembled with the vehicle body.

9 . The vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the mounting plate is provided with a sealing gasket, and a middle of the sealing gasket is provided with an opening through which the branch pipelines and the snap-fit member penetrate,
the snap-fit member is provided with an elastically deformable snap-fit part, and a gap is provided between the snap-fit part and the mounting plate, and a sheet metal member of the vehicle body is provided with a fixing hole, the snap-fit member penetrates through the fixing hole and then is snapped on the sheet metal member, the sealing gasket is located between the mounting plate and the sheet metal member, and the sheet metal member is snapped in the gap.

10 . The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the cooling water pipe is provided with a fixing bracket, the cooling water pipe is fixed with the subframe through the fixing bracket, the cooling water pipe comprises a corrugated pipe connected with both ends of the main pipeline, and a buffer space exists between the cooling water pipe and the subframe.

11 . The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the subframe is provided with a positioning hole matched with the positioning pin, the positioning pin is fixed in the positioning hole before disconnected, and a gap exists between the pipeline mounting head for the vehicle and the subframe.

12 . The vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the cooling water pipe comprises a corrugated pipe and a nylon pipe connected with the corrugated pipe, and the corrugated pipe is connected with both ends of the main pipeline.
