[0029] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.
[0030] The tube bundle support assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the tube bundle support assembly according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a support body 100 and cable ties (not shown in the figure).
[0032] The bracket body 100 includes a mounting arm 110, a front extension arm 120, and a rear extension arm 130. The mounting arm 110 is adapted to be mounted on the circular tube beam 10. The front extension arm 120 is connected to the bottom of the mounting arm 110, located below the circular tube beam 10 and extending forward of the mounting arm 110. Cable ties are wrapped around the front extension arm 120 and adapted to secure the tubing extending to the middle axle air chamber. The rear extension arm 130 is connected to the bottom of the mounting arm 110, located below the circular tube beam 10 and extending rearward of the mounting arm 110. Cable ties are wrapped around the rear extension arm 130 and adapted to secure the tubing extending to the rear axle air chamber (not shown in the figure).
[0033] According to the tube bundle support assembly 1 of this utility model embodiment, the mounting arm 110 is adapted to be mounted on the circular tube beam 10, the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 are connected to the bottom of the mounting arm 110, the cable tie is wrapped around the front extension arm 120 and adapted to bind the tube bundle extending to the middle axle air chamber, and the cable tie is wrapped around the rear extension arm 130 and adapted to bind the tube bundle extending to the rear axle air chamber. The front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 can guide and fix the tube bundle, reduce the dynamic interference wear between the tube bundle and other components, and fix the tube bundle through the tube bundle support assembly so that the tube bundle can remain stable during vehicle driving. Especially under severe steering or bumpy conditions, it can reduce the movement and wear of the tube bundle, thereby improving the braking safety performance of the whole vehicle.
[0034] In addition, cable ties wrap around the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 to secure the tubing bundles, ensuring that all the tubing bundles are neatly arranged in a fixed position. The use of cable ties ensures that the tubing bundles do not shift relative to each other due to movement, while also giving the tubing bundles a visually uniform appearance.
[0035] Therefore, the tube bundle support assembly 1 according to the present utility model has the advantages of high safety and neat pipeline arrangement.
[0036] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the mounting arm 110 includes a horizontal mounting portion 111 and a vertical portion 112. The horizontal mounting portion 111 is connected to the lower edge of the circular tube beam 10 and extends along the length of the circular tube beam 10. The vertical portion 112 is connected to the lower part of one end of the horizontal mounting portion 111, and the lower end of the vertical portion 112 is connected to the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130. The horizontal mounting portion 111 and the vertical portion 112 are connected by an arc-shaped transition to avoid dynamic interference between the support body 100 and other components. The vertical portion 112 is welded to the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130, and the vertical portion 112 extends on the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130, increasing the welding strength between the components and improving the structural strength of the support body 100.
[0037] The horizontal mounting section 111 is connected to the lower edge of the circular tube beam 10, providing lateral support and helping to enhance the overall stability of the support body 100, preventing tilting or instability under stress. The vertical section 112 is connected to the horizontal mounting section 111, effectively transmitting forces from the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130, forming a more stable support structure.
[0038] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower edge of the horizontal mounting part 111 away from the vertical part 112 is provided with an anti-rotation clip 113, which bends toward the circular tube beam 10 to engage with the fasteners on the circular tube beam 10.
[0039] The anti-rotation clip 113 prevents the support body 100 from rotating during use. By constructing it to bend towards the circular tube beam 10, it can effectively engage with the fasteners on the circular tube beam 10 to form a locking state, thereby ensuring that the support body 100 remains in a fixed position under stress and avoiding structural failure due to rotation.
[0040] In addition, the cooperation between the anti-rotation clip 113 and the fastener can improve the reliability of the connection and ensure that the connection point will not loosen due to vibration or other external forces under long-term operation or dynamic load, thereby improving the overall structural safety of the bracket body 100.
[0041] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the horizontal mounting portion 111 is constructed with a first mounting hole 114 and a second mounting hole 115. The first mounting hole 114 is located at one end of the horizontal mounting portion 111 adjacent to the vertical portion 112, and the second mounting hole 115 is located at the end of the horizontal mounting portion 111 away from the vertical portion 112. By providing the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 115 at both ends of the horizontal mounting portion 111, multi-point fixing can be achieved, making the bracket body 100 more stable. This structure can adapt to different installation requirements, such as applying fixing forces in different directions or positions, thereby improving the overall stability of the installation structure.
[0042] Distributing the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 115 at both ends of the horizontal mounting portion 111 allows for a more even distribution of force across the horizontal mounting portion 111. When the component is subjected to external force, stress concentration can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage due to excessive localized stress.
[0043] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 are provided with cable tie slots 101. The cable tie slots 101 are located on opposite sides of the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 in the width direction, and the cable ties are accommodated in the cable tie slots 101. There may be multiple cable tie slots 101, which are evenly distributed on the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130.
[0044] The cable tie slot 101 stably accommodates the cable tie, preventing it from shifting or loosening during use. This structure ensures the cable tie remains fixed when bundling the tubing, thus improving the strength and reliability of the bundling. By positioning the cable tie slot 101 on opposite sides of the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130, the cable tie can be easily installed in the designated position, reducing adjustment time during installation and improving bundling efficiency. It also avoids dynamic interference between the tubing and other surrounding components, extending the service life of the tubing and improving vehicle driving safety.
[0045] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the end of the front extension arm 120 away from the mounting arm 100 is provided with an upwardly bent portion 121. And / or the end of the rear extension arm 130 away from the mounting arm 110 is provided with an upwardly bent portion (not shown in the figure).
[0046] Specifically, both the front extension arm 120 and the rear extension arm 130 have an upwardly bent portion 121 at the end away from the mounting arm 110. Alternatively, the end of the front extension arm 120 away from the mounting arm 110 may have an upwardly bent portion 121, or the end of the rear extension arm 130 away from the mounting arm 110 may have an upwardly bent portion.
[0047] The upward-bending bend 121 effectively prevents direct contact and friction between the support body 100 and the tube bundle 20. This structure reduces wear on the tube bundle 20 caused by dynamic interference, thereby extending the service life of the tube bundle 20 and surrounding components.
[0048] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the rear extension arm 130 includes a horizontal extension portion 131 and an inclined portion 132. The horizontal extension portion 131 is connected to the mounting arm 110 and extends horizontally rearward. The inclined portion 132 is connected to the end of the horizontal extension portion 131 away from the mounting arm 100, and the inclined portion 132 extends inclinedly towards the center of the frame along one side of the width direction of the horizontal extension portion 131.
[0049] The horizontal extension 131 provides a stable support platform for the tube bundle 20. The inclined structure of the inclined section 132 allows the tube bundle to be arranged more flexibly on the support body 100, thereby optimizing the orientation of the tube bundle 20 in a limited space. The inclined section 132 optimizes the utilization of the internal space of the frame and also enhances the stability and support of the support body 100.
[0050] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inclined portion 132 and the horizontal extension portion 131 are bent towards each other, and the inclined portion 132 gradually extends upward in a direction away from the horizontal extension portion 131.
[0051] The inclined portion 132 of this bent structure can effectively distribute and transfer the load on the tube bundle, thereby enhancing the support strength of the entire support assembly 100. It can also avoid surrounding components, improving space utilization while increasing vehicle driving safety.
[0052] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the tube bundle support body is made of Q355 alloy steel. The thickness of the support body 100 is 2.5mm to 3.5mm.
[0053] Alloy steel possesses excellent strength and corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand significant loads and maintain stability under varying environmental conditions, thus ensuring a long service life for the support body 100. The support body 100 is selected with a thickness of 2.5mm to 3.5mm, effectively controlling the overall weight of the tube bundle support assembly 1 while ensuring strength. This allows the support body 100 to minimize its weight while meeting structural strength and stability requirements. Simultaneously, the high strength of alloy steel allows the support body 100 to maintain the required load-bearing capacity despite its thinner thickness, further achieving lightweight design.
[0054] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.
[0055] The vehicle according to the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a frame longitudinal beam 30, a circular tube beam 10, an axle assembly (not shown in the figure), a tube bundle support assembly 1 and a tube bundle according to the above embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] The circular tube beam 10 is mounted on the frame longitudinal beam 30. The axle assembly is mounted on the frame longitudinal beam 30 and includes the middle axle air chamber and the rear axle air chamber. The tube bundle bracket assembly is mounted on the circular tube beam 10. The tube bundles are mounted on the tube bundle bracket assembly and are respectively connected to the middle axle air chamber and the rear axle air chamber.
[0057] The longitudinal beams 30 of the frame, as the main load-bearing structure of the vehicle, provide the necessary strength and stability to withstand forces from the road surface and other power systems. The middle and rear axle air chambers in the axle assembly effectively absorb road vibrations, improving ride comfort and dynamic performance, and ensuring vehicle stability under various road conditions. The circular tube beams 10, as a crucial component connecting the frame and axles, provide necessary support and ensure the effectiveness of the suspension system, enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity.
