Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly to a mounting bracket and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The connection between a vehicle door and the vehicle body is mainly achieved through a hinge including a shaft pin. The hinge of a conventional vehicle includes a male hinge fixed to the vehicle body end and a female hinge fixed to the vehicle door end. A rotating vehicle door usually only includes two hinge systems on the same axis, and there is only one installation direction for the hinge at the vehicle body end and the vehicle door end. Therefore, the force direction of a conventional vehicle door hinge is single and the structure is relatively simple.

[0003] However, for buses, coaches, and small vehicles with swing doors, the hinge bracket at the vehicle body end bears a large torque that continuously changes during the opening process of the door. Therefore, the hinge bracket at the vehicle body end must have high structural strength, good stability, high installation accuracy, and characteristics such as simple production process and lightweight need to be considered. Through design iteration, conventional vehicle stamping steel sheet hinges, multi-layer sheet metal welded combination hinges, section steel processed hinges, and extruded aluminum hinges are excluded. The reasons are as follows: The stamping process cannot meet the multi-layer reinforcement structure perpendicular to the installation surface; the multi-layer steel sheet welding combination process is complex and difficult to ensure accuracy; the material utilization rate of section steel processed hinges is low and the processing cost is high; the extruded aluminum hinge can only generate reinforcing ribs in the extrusion direction and cannot meet the reinforcement structure perpendicular to the installation surface.

[0038] The terms used in this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The singular forms "a", "the" and "said" used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, a mounting bracket 1 is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and a vehicle door. The mounting bracket 1 includes a bottom plate 10, a first mounting plate 12, a second mounting plate 13, a third mounting plate 21, a plurality of first mounting holes 11 and two second mounting holes 14. Among them, the first direction A is the direction of A in the figure, and the second direction B is the direction of B in the figure. Generally speaking, when the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body, the first direction A is the horizontal lateral direction, and the second direction B is the vertical longitudinal direction. Of course, this disclosure does not limit the first direction A and the second direction B.

[0040] The bottom plate 10 is the main structure for fixedly connecting with the vehicle body. Therefore, the thickness of the bottom plate 10 is thicker than that of the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13 and the third mounting plate 21. The bottom plate 10 in this disclosure includes a surface 100. The surface 100 includes a first mounting surface 101 and a second mounting surface 102, thereby dispersing the mounting area of the mounting bracket 1 and improving the stability of the mounting bracket 1.

[0041] A plurality of first mounting holes 11 are used for connecting with the vehicle body. The plurality of first mounting holes 11 are distributed on the bottom plate 10 and the third mounting plate 21, so as to increase the fixing points and fixing areas of the mounting bracket 1 and the vehicle body. The first mounting holes 11 extend along the first direction A. In this way, the first mounting holes 11 for connecting with the vehicle body are unified to extend along the first direction A, reducing the complexity of the structure of the mounting bracket 1, so that the mounting bracket 1 can be integrally cast.

[0042] The first mounting plate 12 is arranged on the surface, and its thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first mounting surface 101 and the second mounting surface 102 are respectively located on both sides of the first mounting plate 12. The second mounting plate 13 is arranged on the second mounting surface 102, and its thickness direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The reason for such setting is that the material of the mounting bracket 1 in the present disclosure includes aluminum alloy or other lightweight materials, and the density is reduced by two-thirds compared with the original steel material, that is, the weight of the mounting bracket 1 is reduced, and the lightweight effect of the mounting bracket 1 is good; however, the same aluminum alloy material has poor stiffness, and the door opening method in the present disclosure will cause the first mounting plate 12 to bear a large torque and change continuously during the door opening process. At this time, if the first mounting plate 12 is arranged on the upper edge of the bottom plate in the traditional way, considering that the installation space between the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 is also used for the installation of the rotating shaft 2, the rotation and avoidance of the connecting piece 3, and the installation of the driving motor, there is no way to set enough strengthening structures between the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 to ensure the structural strength of the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13; therefore, in the present disclosure, the first mounting plate 12 is arranged in the middle area of the bottom plate 10, and the surface of the bottom plate 10 is divided into the first mounting surface 101 and the second mounting surface 102, so that during the casting process of the mounting bracket 1, enough strengthening structures can be respectively set from the first mounting surface 101 and the second mounting surface 102 to strengthen the first mounting plate 12, so that the mounting bracket 1 can take into account both lightweight and structural strength.

[0043] Two second mounting holes 14 are used for connecting with the rotating shaft 2. The two second mounting holes 14 extend along the second direction. The two second mounting holes 14 are respectively located on the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13. Among them, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13 and the second mounting surface 102 cooperate to form an installation space for accommodating the rotating shaft 2 and having an opening. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for the rotating shaft 2 and the connecting piece 3 to extend into the installation space from the opening for convenient installation, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the mold to be opened along the first direction A during the casting process of the mounting bracket 1.

[0044] The third mounting plate 21 is disposed at the edge of the second mounting plate 13. The thickness direction of the third mounting plate 21 is parallel to the first direction A. The third mounting plate 21 is used for fixedly connecting with the vehicle body. The projection of the third mounting plate 21 along the first direction on the first plane does not overlap with the projection of the bottom plate 10 along the first direction on the first plane. The first plane is perpendicular to the first direction. As another mounting component independent of the mounting rack 1, the third mounting plate 21, in cooperation with the bottom plate 10, increases the fixing points and fixing areas between the mounting rack 1 and the vehicle body, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the mounting rack 1 and the vehicle body; In particular, when the mounting rack 1 is fixed to the vehicle body, the third mounting plate 21 can also enhance the structural strength of the second mounting plate 13, so that the second mounting plate 13 also has reinforcing structures in multiple directions, enabling the second mounting plate 13 to adapt to the stress changes during the opening or closing of the vehicle door. The two projections of the bottom plate 10 and the third mounting plate 21 in the first direction A on the first plane perpendicular to the first direction A do not overlap with each other, so that the bottom plate 10 and the third mounting plate 21 can be integrally cast with the mounting rack 1.

[0045] Through the reasonable setting of the positions of the bottom plate 10, the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13 and the third mounting plate 21 in the mounting rack 1 of the present disclosure, on the one hand, it ensures that a plurality of first mounting holes 11 can have a unified reference for convenient installation, and on the other hand, it enables the entire mounting rack 1 to be integrally cast, ensuring that the mounting rack 1 itself has sufficient strength. That is, the mounting rack 1 in the present disclosure has a simple process, high precision and high production efficiency. By reasonably distributing the material of the mounting rack 1, the strength, stability and other performances of the parts are improved, and the material utilization rate is increased to achieve the lightweight effect.

[0046] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the mounting rack 1 includes both the bottom plate 10 and the third mounting plate 21. In other embodiments, the third mounting plate 21 of the mounting rack 1 can also be omitted. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0047] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , an arc-shaped notch is provided in the middle area of the upper edge of the bottom plate 10, reducing the redundant material of the bottom plate 10, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing the lightweight effect of the mounting rack 1 without affecting the stability of the installation of the mounting rack 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a first reinforcing plate 15 disposed on the first mounting surface 101. The thickness direction of the first reinforcing plate 15 is perpendicular to the first direction. The first mounting plate 12 includes a first edge extending along the first direction. The first reinforcing plate 15 is connected to the first edge. The first reinforcing plate 15 in the present disclosure is connected to the bottom plate 10 and the first mounting plate 12, so that the mounting points on the bottom plate 10 and the first mounting plate 12 have a good force transmission path, improving the integrity of the mounting bracket 1. The thickness direction of the first reinforcing plate 15 being perpendicular to the first direction A enables the mold to be opened along the first direction A during the casting process of the entire mounting bracket 1. The thickness direction of the first reinforcing plate 15 being perpendicular to the second direction B makes the entire mounting bracket 1 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0049] As an alternative embodiment, the first reinforcing plate 15 is provided with an arc-shaped notch. The arc-shaped notch is located in the area of the first reinforcing plate 15 away from the bottom plate 10 and the first mounting plate 12. With this arrangement, while ensuring the strengthening effect of the first reinforcing plate 15 on the overall strength of the mounting bracket 1, it also reduces the excess material, meeting the requirement of overall lightweight of the mounting bracket 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a second reinforcing plate 16 disposed on the first mounting surface 101. The thickness direction of the second reinforcing plate 16 is perpendicular to the first direction. The first mounting plate 12 includes a second edge opposite to the first edge. The second reinforcing plate 16 is connected to the second edge. The second reinforcing plate 16 in the present disclosure is connected to the bottom plate 10 and the first mounting plate 12, and cooperates with the bottom plate 10, the first mounting plate 12 and the first reinforcing plate 15 to form a frame structure, greatly enhancing the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 1. The thickness direction of the second reinforcing plate 16 being perpendicular to the first direction A enables the mold to be opened along the first direction A during the casting process of the entire mounting bracket 1. The thickness direction of the second reinforcing plate 16 being perpendicular to the second direction B makes the entire mounting bracket 1 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] As an alternative embodiment, the second reinforcing plate 16 is provided with an arc-shaped notch.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 12 further includes a first notch 120 and a third edge disposed at the opening. The first notch 120 is connected and disposed between the second edge and the third edge to avoid the rotation of the vehicle door. Specifically, the depth direction of the mounting bracket 1 in the present disclosure along the first direction is smaller than the width direction of the mounting bracket 1, and the vehicle door has a first closed state and a second opened state. When the vehicle door is in the first state, the vehicle door is perpendicular to the bottom plate 10, that is, the vehicle door is parallel to the depth direction of the mounting bracket 1. When the vehicle door switches from the first state to the second state, the vehicle door rotates to be parallel to the width direction of the mounting bracket 1. At this time, since the depth direction of the mounting bracket 1 is smaller than the width direction of the mounting bracket 1, it is necessary to avoid the rotation of the vehicle door through the first notch 120 to prevent the first mounting plate 12 from contacting the vehicle door and causing the vehicle door to be unable to switch to the second state. Continue to refer to Figure 1 , since the mounting bracket 1 in the present disclosure is integrally cast, the third notch 23 can be conveniently designed as a concave arc surface that fits the rotation curve of the vehicle door.

[0053] Due to the first notch 120 on the first mounting plate 12, the length of the second edge is much smaller than the length of the first edge, resulting in a relatively low strengthening effect of the second reinforcing plate 16 on the bottom plate 10 and the first mounting plate 12. Therefore, the mounting bracket 1 in the present disclosure further includes a strengthening portion 17. The strengthening portion 17 is connected and disposed between the second reinforcing plate 16, the first mounting plate 12 and the bottom plate 10.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a connecting plate 18 disposed on the second mounting surface 102. The connecting plate 18 is connected and disposed between the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13. The thickness direction of the connecting plate 18 is perpendicular to the first direction. The present disclosure connects one side edge of the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 by providing the connecting plate 18, improving the strength of the mounting bracket 1 itself. At the same time, the thickness direction of the connecting plate 18 is perpendicular to the first direction A, enabling the mold to be opened along the first direction A during the casting process of the mounting bracket 1. The thickness direction of the connecting plate 18 is perpendicular to the second direction B, making the overall mounting bracket 1 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0055] When people close the vehicle door, that is, when the vehicle door switches from the second state to the first state, it is very rapid. Therefore, in order to avoid a loud noise caused by the collision between the vehicle door and the mounting bracket 1 when the vehicle door is closed. In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a buffer mounting seat 19 disposed on the second mounting surface 102 and a third mounting hole 20 disposed in the buffer mounting seat 19. And the third mounting hole 20 extends along the first direction. The third mounting hole 20 is used to mount a buffer block. The buffer block is used to buffer the collision between the vehicle door and the mounting bracket 1. The buffer block can be a rubber part, a sponge pad or other flexible buffer materials.

[0056] It should be noted that in the traditional fixed bracket, since the buffer mounting seat 19 is located inside the fixed bracket, the welding process is difficult, and phenomena such as insecure welding are likely to occur, resulting in the risk of the buffer mounting seat 19 falling off after long-term use. In the present disclosure, the buffer mounting seat 19 is part of the mounting frame 1, that is, it is integrally cast, which is convenient for casting and very stable.

[0057] As an optional implementation manner, the buffer mounting seat 19 is connected to the connecting plate 18, that is, the buffer mounting seat 19 is located at the connecting corner of the bottom plate 10 and the connecting plate 18. In this way, in addition to being used for mounting the buffer block, the buffer mounting seat 19 can also enhance the mounting strength of the bottom plate 10 and the connecting plate 18.

[0058] As an optional implementation manner, the buffer mounting seat 19 is a hollow structure. In the traditional fixed bracket formed by welding, if the buffer mounting seat 19 is a hollow structure, it will greatly increase the structural complexity of the fixed bracket and the welding difficulty. However, since the mounting frame 1 in the present disclosure is integrally cast, only corresponding structures need to be added to the mold, which is convenient for molding and can also meet the overall lightweight requirement of the mounting frame 1.

[0059] Since the mounting wall of the buffer mounting seat 19 in the present disclosure for carrying the third mounting hole 20 is perpendicular to the first direction A, this will cause the mounting frame 1 in the present disclosure to be unable to be cast. Therefore, as an optional implementation manner, the bottom plate 10 includes a second notch (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the buffer mounting seat 19.

[0060] In some implementation manners, the second mounting plate 13 includes a fifth edge provided at the opening. The third mounting plate 21 is connected and provided at the fifth edge. Generally, a groove for accommodating the mounting frame 1 is provided on the vehicle body, and the third mounting plate 21 is provided outside the groove, that is, at the surface 100 of the vehicle body. In this way, the stability of the mounting of the mounting frame 1 is further ensured through mounting on different planes.

[0061] In some implementation manners, several first mounting holes 11 include two columns of first mounting holes 11. Each column of first mounting holes 11 is respectively distributed on the bottom plate 10 and the third mounting plate 21. The second mounting hole 14 is located between the two columns of first mounting holes 11. With such a setting, on the one hand, the uniform distribution of each fixing point of the mounting frame 1 is ensured, so that the mounting of the mounting frame 1 is more stable, and on the other hand, the mounting strength of the rotating shaft 2 is also ensured.

[0062] For the convenience of mounting the mounting frame 1, as an optional implementation manner, some of the first mounting holes 11 on the first mounting surface 101 are enlarged.

[0063] To meet the lightweight requirements of the mounting bracket 1, as an optional implementation, the first mounting hole 11 on the third mounting plate 21 is a notch structure.

[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , the first mounting hole 11 includes a rectangular mounting hole, which can further meet the left - right and up - down position adjustment of the door during installation and meet the door installation accuracy requirements. Of course, in other implementation manners, the first mounting hole 11 can also be other structures such as circular or polygonal, as long as it allows a certain amount of movement space for the fastener used to fix the mounting bracket 1. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0065] In some implementation manners, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a reinforcing rib 22 connected and arranged between the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13 and the bottom plate 10. The thickness direction of the reinforcing rib 22 is perpendicular to the first direction A. The reinforcing rib 22 is located between two columns of the first mounting holes 11. By such a setting, the reinforcing rib 22 is close to the second mounting hole 14, so that on the one hand, the structural strength of the mounting bracket 1 is improved, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the second mounting hole 14, that is, the mounting point of the rotating shaft 2, is ensured.

[0066] In summary, the mounting bracket 1 sequentially includes a bottom plate 10 and a third mounting plate 21 along the second direction B, that is, the longitudinal direction. Among them, six first mounting holes 11 are provided on the bottom plate 10, and two first mounting holes 11 are provided on the third mounting plate 21, so as to connect the mounting bracket 1 with the vehicle body. All the first mounting holes 11 are of rectangular structures, which can meet the up - down, left - right adjustment of the door. One side of the mounting bracket 1 is a third notch 23 for avoiding the connecting member 3, and corresponding reinforcing structures are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 1, and a reinforcing rib 22 is provided at the middle position of the mounting bracket 1. In this way, the mounting bracket 1 has multiple rows of fixed points in the upper, middle and lower positions in the longitudinal direction, and has three reinforcing structures in the left, middle and right positions in the transverse direction. The overall structure of the mounting bracket 1 is complete, with light weight, high stiffness and controllable precision.

[0067] It should be noted that in other implementation manners, the thickness directions of the connecting plate 18, the first reinforcing plate 15, the second reinforcing plate 16, the third reinforcing plate 25 and the reinforcing rib 22 in the present disclosure may not be perpendicular to the second direction B, as long as they are perpendicular to the first direction A.

[0068] The second aspect of the present disclosure provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body (not shown in the figure), such as Figure 2The shown rotating shaft 2, connecting member 3 and vehicle door (not shown in the figure). The connecting member 3 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is rotatably connected to the vehicle door. The second end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2. The vehicle further includes the mounting bracket 1 as described above. The mounting bracket 1 is fixed to the vehicle body through a plurality of first mounting holes 11. The rotating shaft 2 extends along the second direction B and is rotatably connected between the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 through a second mounting hole 14.

[0069] Among them, the vehicle in the present disclosure may include a bus, a large bus or other small vehicles with the same door opening method as that of the bus and the large bus; the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0070] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is further provided with a third notch 23. The third notch 23 is located at one end of the mounting bracket 1 away from the connecting plate 18 to avoid the connecting member 3. When the vehicle door is in the first state, the connecting member 3 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 10. When the vehicle door is switched from the first state to the second state, the connecting member 3 rotates in a direction away from the connecting plate 18. At this time, the rotation of the connecting member 3 is avoided through the third notch 23, preventing the mounting bracket 1 from interfering with the connecting member 3 and causing the vehicle door to be unable to be switched to the second state.

[0071] As an optional embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a third reinforcing plate 25 disposed at the third notch 23. The thickness direction of the third reinforcing plate 25 is perpendicular to the first direction A and is connected between the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13 and the bottom plate 10. In this way, the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13, the bottom plate 10, the connecting plate 18 and the third reinforcing plate 25 cooperate together to form a frame structure, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the mounting bracket 1. At the same time, the third reinforcing plate 25 is parallel to the first direction A and the second direction B, enabling the mold to be opened along the first direction A during the casting process of the mounting bracket 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a plurality of fourth mounting holes 24 disposed on the first mounting plate 12. The fourth mounting holes 24 extend along the second direction B. The vehicle further includes a drive motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 2. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 12 through a plurality of fourth mounting holes 24 and is close to the first mounting surface 101. The drive motor in the present disclosure is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 12 away from the second mounting plate 13 instead of being disposed between the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13, thus corresponding to the first mounting surface 101 and the second mounting surface 102, making the structural distribution of the mounting bracket 1 more reasonable and not occupying additional space compared to the previous hinge bracket, thereby enhancing the versatility of the mounting bracket 1.

[0073] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the techniques disclosed herein. The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present disclosure. The specification and examples are only to be considered as exemplary, and the true scope and spirit of the present disclosure are pointed out by the following claims.

[0074] It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present disclosure is only limited by the appended claims.
