[0058] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples.

[0059] Reference is made below to Figures 1 - 26 describe a mounting bracket assembly 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] As Figures 1 - 23 shown, a mounting bracket assembly 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: at least one first bracket 40.

[0061] The first bracket 40 includes a first body portion 41 and a first connecting portion 42. The first body portion 41 is connected to the front lower sub-cross beam 100 of the vehicle through a connecting member 44. The first connecting portion 42 is connected to the first body portion 41 and is connected to the inclined cooling module 30. Wherein, the first body portion 41 is provided with a mounting hole 411 for passing through the connecting member 44. The mounting hole 411 includes a first sub-hole 412 and a second sub-hole 413. The first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 are communicated through a guiding groove 414, and the connecting member 44 is configured to move from the first sub-hole 412 towards the second sub-hole 413 when the front lower sub-cross beam 100 is stressed.

[0062] Thus, when a low-speed collision occurs to the vehicle 1000, causing the front lower cross member 100 to be stressed, the connecting member 44 installed in the first sub-hole 412 will move towards the second sub-hole 413 under the action of the force. In this way, it can be avoided that the front lower cross member 100 squeezes the inclined cooling module 30, and it is beneficial for the first bracket 40 to buffer the inclined cooling module 30 during a low-speed collision, so that the damage degree suffered by the inclined cooling module 30 is lower.

[0063] It should be noted that, usually, a low-speed collision refers to a frontal collision with a speed lower than 15 kilometers per hour.

[0064] For example, the mounting bracket assembly 400 includes a first bracket 40. The first bracket 40 is disposed between the front lower cross member 100 and the inclined cooling module 30 of the vehicle. The connecting member 44 passes through the first sub-hole 412 and is fixedly connected to the front lower cross member 100.

[0065] Among them, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000, the front lower cross member 100 protrudes from the inclined cooling module 30. And in the height direction of the vehicle 1000, the front end of the inclined cooling module 30 is higher than the front lower cross member 100. In this way, when a low-speed collision occurs to the vehicle 1000, the front lower cross member 100 is more likely to be collided first. And when the front lower cross member 100 is impacted, it will drive the connecting member 44 to move from the first sub-hole 412 towards the second sub-hole 413 along the guiding groove 414, so as to avoid the front lower cross member 100 squeezing the inclined cooling module 30, and enable the inclined cooling module 30 to obtain a certain buffer, thereby being able to reduce the low-speed collision damage suffered by the inclined cooling module 30.

[0066] Among them, the extending direction of the guiding groove 414 is the same as the stress direction of the front lower cross member 100 when a low-speed collision occurs to the vehicle 1000. In this way, when the connecting member 44 moves from the first sub-hole 412 towards the second sub-hole 413 along the guiding groove 414, the moving direction of the connecting member 44 is the same as the stress direction of the front lower cross member 100, so as to facilitate consuming part of the collision energy through the movement of the connecting member 44 to achieve buffering of the inclined cooling module 30.

[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the inclined cooling module 30 is installed, the height of its front end is lower than that of the rear end, that is, it is installed in an inclined manner. In this way, it can provide installation space for the front luggage compartment of the vehicle 1000. At the same time, the inclined cooling module 30 is connected to the front lower cross member 100 through the first bracket 40 and the connecting member 44.

[0068] Therefore, after the inclined cooling module 30 is arranged on the vehicle 1000, the inclined cooling module 30 can be protected by the first bracket 40, so that when the vehicle 1000 has a low-speed collision, the damage degree of the inclined cooling module 30 is lower.

[0069] Among them, two or three first brackets 40 can also be provided. When multiple first brackets 40 are provided, the multiple first brackets 40 are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle 1000. Preferably, in this embodiment, two first brackets 40 are provided.

[0070] In this way, when multiple first brackets 40 are provided, the multiple first brackets 40 can evenly distribute the force received during a low-speed collision of the vehicle 1000, so that the obliquely arranged cooling module 30 is more evenly stressed, avoiding the situation of local damage caused by excessive local stress on the obliquely arranged cooling module 30.

[0071] Furthermore, a front frame 34 is provided at the front end of the obliquely arranged cooling module 30. The first connecting portion 42 of the first bracket 40 is detachably connected to the front frame 34. At the same time, the mounting hole 411 on the first body portion 41 of the first bracket 40 includes a first sub-hole 412 and a second sub-hole 413. The first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 are communicated through a guiding groove 414. After the connecting member 44 is installed in the first sub-hole 412, when the front lower sub-cross beam 100 of the vehicle is subjected to a low-speed collision, under the action of the collision force, the front lower sub-cross beam 100 will drive the connecting member 44 to move from the first sub-hole 412 along the guiding groove 414 towards the second sub-hole 413. In this way, when the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a low-speed collision, the first bracket 40 can play a certain buffering role on the obliquely arranged cooling module 30, thereby reducing the low-speed collision damage received by the obliquely arranged cooling module 30.

[0072] Optionally, the connecting member 44 can be configured in various forms, such as a bolt or a riveting member. At the same time, when the first bracket 40 is connected to the front frame 34, various connection forms can also be adopted, such as bolt connection or riveting, which will not be elaborated here. Preferably, in this embodiment, the connecting member 44 is configured as a bolt. The bolt is fixedly connected to the front lower sub-cross beam 100 and is slidably installed in the mounting hole 411.

[0073] According to the mounting bracket assembly 400 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the first bracket 40 between the front lower sub-cross beam 100 of the vehicle and the obliquely arranged cooling module 30, when the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a low-speed collision, the front lower sub-cross beam 100 can drive the connecting member 44 to move from the first sub-hole 412 towards the second sub-hole 413. In this way, it is possible to avoid the front lower sub-cross beam 100 from squeezing the obliquely arranged cooling module 30, and it is possible to play a buffering role on the obliquely arranged cooling module 30 through the movement of the connecting member 44, thereby reducing the damage of the obliquely arranged cooling module 30 and being beneficial to reducing the maintenance cost.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 are arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000.

[0075] It should be noted that the first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 are arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000. When the vehicle 1000 suffers a low-speed frontal collision in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000, the first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000 will cause the connecting member 44 to move in the mounting hole 411 in the same direction as the force received by the vehicle 1000, so that the buffering effect of the first bracket 40 is better, thereby protecting the inclined cooling module 30.

[0076] Therefore, the first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000 can enable the first bracket 40 to buffer the inclined cooling module 30 more effectively, thereby protecting the inclined cooling module 30.

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 - 9 、 Figures 13 - 18 shown, the first body portion 41 and the first connecting portion 42 are bent and connected.

[0078] It should be noted that a connecting flange 43 perpendicular to the first body portion 41 and the first connecting portion 42 is provided at the connection between the first body portion 41 and the first connecting portion 42. The connecting flange 43 enables the first body portion 41 and the first connecting portion 42 to be bent and connected. In this way, when the front lower sub-cross member 100 drives the connecting member 44 to move to the second sub-hole 413, if the front lower sub-cross member 100 continues to be stressed, the force generated by the low-speed collision will continue to act on the connecting flange 43, thereby causing the first body portion 41 and the first connecting portion 42 to disconnect.

[0079] Furthermore, the connecting flange 43 is provided in the force concentration area of the first bracket 40. Therefore, when the front lower sub-cross member 100 continues to be stressed, if the front lower sub-cross member 100 continues to be subjected to an external force, the connecting flange 43 will disconnect, causing the connection between the inclined cooling module 30 and the front lower sub-cross member 100 to disconnect. At this time, the inclined cooling module 30 can be detached from the vehicle 1000.

[0080] Therefore, when the vehicle 1000 has a low-speed collision, the movement of the front lower sub-cross member 100 driving the connecting member 44 in the first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 first consumes a part of the collision energy, that is, buffers the front lower sub-cross member 100. After the buffering is completed, if the front lower sub-cross member 100 continues to be stressed, the connecting flange 43 of the first bracket 40 will disconnect, disconnecting the inclined cooling module 30 from the front lower sub-cross member 100, so that the front end of the inclined cooling module 30 can be detached from the vehicle 1000, and the inclined cooling module 30 will not continue to suffer from low-speed collisions.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 - 4As shown, the mounting bracket assembly 400 further includes: at least one second bracket 50.

[0082] The second bracket 50 includes a second body portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52. The second body portion 51 is connected to the subframe 200 of the vehicle, and the second connecting portion 52 is connected to the second body portion 51 and is connected to the inclined cooling module 30.

[0083] Thus, the second bracket 50 is disposed between the subframe 200 of the vehicle and the inclined cooling module 30. Since the subframe 200 of the vehicle is higher than the front lower cross beam 100 of the vehicle, after the inclined cooling module 30 is connected to the subframe 200, the rear end of the inclined cooling module 30 will be higher than its front end, enabling the vehicle 1000 to be provided with a front luggage compartment.

[0084] For example, the mounting bracket assembly 400 includes one second bracket. The second bracket 50 is disposed between the subframe 200 of the vehicle and the rear end of the inclined cooling module 30. The second body portion 51 of the second bracket 50 is connected to the subframe 200, and the second connecting portion 52 of the second bracket 50 is connected to the inclined cooling module 30. At the same time, a first bracket 40 is provided at the front end of the inclined cooling module 30. The first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 jointly mount the inclined cooling module 30 on the vehicle 1000.

[0085] Wherein, two or three second brackets 50 may also be provided. When multiple second brackets 50 are provided, the multiple second brackets 50 are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle 1000. Preferably, in this embodiment, two second brackets 50 are provided.

[0086] In this way, when multiple second brackets 50 are provided, the multiple second brackets 50 can evenly distribute the force received during a low-speed collision of the vehicle 1000, making the force on the inclined cooling module 30 more uniform and avoiding the situation where the inclined cooling module 30 is damaged locally due to excessive local force.

[0087] For example, the second body portion 51 may be configured as an arc-shaped connecting frame. The end of the arc-shaped connecting frame is connected to the subframe 200 by bolts, and the middle part of the arc-shaped connecting frame protrudes toward the side away from the subframe 200. The second connecting portion 52 is connected to the middle part of the arc-shaped connecting frame. In this way, it is beneficial to increase the height of the second connecting portion 52, enabling the second connecting portion 52 to be better connected to the rear end of the inclined cooling module 30.

[0088] In some embodiments, as Figures 10 - 12 shown, the inclined cooling module 30 is provided with a clamping member 31, and the clamping member 31 is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 52.

[0089] Thus, when the inclined cooling module 30 is connected to the second connecting portion 52, it is more convenient, and the maintenance efficiency can be improved during subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0090] Optionally, the clamping member 31 can be connected to the inclined cooling module 30 in various forms. For example, it can be connected by bolts or rivets. The connection method can be in various forms, which will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, the connection is achieved by bolt connection.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figures 10 - 12 shown, the clamping member 31 is provided with a clamping groove 32. The second connecting portion 52 passes through the clamping groove 32, and the inner wall of the clamping groove 32 is provided with elastic protrusions 33 protruding towards the second connecting portion 52, and the elastic protrusions 33 abut against the second connecting portion 52.

[0092] Thus, the second connecting portion 52 can be clamped and fixed in the clamping groove 32 by the elastic protrusions 33 on the inner wall of the clamping groove 32. At the same time, the elastic protrusions 33 can reduce the vibration of the inclined cooling module 30, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted from the inclined cooling module 30 to the cockpit of the vehicle 1000.

[0093] It should be noted that multiple elastic protrusions 33 can be provided on the inner wall of the clamping groove 32 as needed. In this embodiment, four elastic protrusions 33 are provided on the inner wall of the clamping groove 32. The four elastic protrusions 33 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the clamping groove 32. At the same time, the elastic protrusions 33 can be constructed in various forms such as rubber or with springs inside, which will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, the elastic protrusions 33 are constructed of rubber.

[0094] Among them, the elastic protrusions 33 being constructed of rubber includes, but is not limited to, the part of the elastic protrusions 33 abutting against the clamping member 31 being constructed of rubber, or the elastic protrusions 33 being entirely composed of rubber.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figures 21 - 22 shown, the second connecting portion 52 includes a plurality of sub-connecting portions 521. The plurality of sub-connecting portions 521 are connected in sequence, and an annular groove 522 is provided at the connection of any two adjacent sub-connecting portions 521.

[0096] Specifically, a plurality of sub-connection portions 521 constitute the second connection portion 52. An annular groove 522 is provided at the connection between two adjacent sub-connection portions 521. At the same time, the plane where the annular groove 522 is located is parallel to the plane in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000. When the vehicle 1000 undergoes a low-speed collision, the inclined cooling module 30 is stressed, which causes the second sub-connection portion 52 to be stressed. At this time, since the structural strength at the annular groove 522 between adjacent sub-connection portions 521 is lower than that at other positions of the sub-connection portion 521, the second connection portion 52 will break at the annular groove 522 under the external force, so that the second connection portion 52 is directly disconnected, and further the connection between the inclined cooling module 30 and the subframe 200 is disconnected.

[0097] Thus, after the plurality of sub-connection portions 521 of the second connection portion 52 are connected, the annular groove 522 at the connection between two adjacent sub-connection portions 521 will directly break when the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a low-speed collision. In this way, after the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a low-speed collision, the second bracket 50 can be disconnected to disconnect the connection between the inclined cooling module 30 and the subframe 200, so that the inclined cooling bracket can be detached from the vehicle 1000, and the inclined cooling module 30 will not participate in the subsequent deformation.

[0098] Optionally, the second connection portion 52 of the second bracket 50 is hollow. In this way, when the second connection portion 52 is stressed, the sub-connection portion 521 is more likely to break. At the same time, the annular groove 522 of the sub-connection portion 521 is located at the maximum deformation position of the second connection portion 52. Therefore, when the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a low-speed collision, the force acting on the second bracket 50 will be concentrated at the annular groove 522 of the sub-connection portion 521, which makes the second bracket 50 more likely to break, so that after the vehicle 1000 undergoes a low-speed collision, the inclined cooling module 30 can be disconnected from the subframe 200.

[0099] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000.

[0100] Specifically, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000. Therefore, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 act together to fix the inclined cooling module 30 to the vehicle 1000. After a low-speed collision of the vehicle 1000, the first bracket 40 first buffers to protect the inclined cooling module 30. After the first bracket 40 finishes buffering, if the vehicle 1000 is still under force, the first bracket 40 will break first, causing the front end of the inclined cooling module 30 to disengage from the vehicle 1000. If the vehicle 1000 continues to be under force after the first bracket 40 breaks, the second bracket 50 will break, causing the rear end of the inclined cooling module 30 to also disengage from the vehicle 1000. The inclined cooling module 30 will directly disengage from the vehicle 1000. Therefore, the inclined cooling module 30 will not participate in the subsequent deformation of the front end of the vehicle 1000.

[0101] Thus, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000, fixing the inclined cooling module 30 to the vehicle 1000. At the same time, when the vehicle 1000 has a low-speed collision, the first bracket 40 can play a buffering role. After the buffering is completed, if the vehicle 1000 continues to be under force, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 will break successively, causing the inclined cooling module 30 to disengage from the vehicle 1000, thus reducing the degree of extrusion deformation of the inclined cooling module 30 by a large amount, and thereby reducing the maintenance cost.

[0102] The present invention also proposes an inclined cooling module assembly 300.

[0103] As Figures 3 - 4 shown, the inclined cooling module assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an inclined cooling module 30 and a mounting bracket assembly 400. The mounting bracket assembly 400 is configured as the mounting bracket assembly 400 in any one of the above embodiments. Among them, the mounting bracket assembly 400 includes a first bracket 40 and a second bracket 50. The first bracket 40 is installed between the front lower sub-cross beam 100 and the inclined cooling module 30, and the second bracket 50 is installed between the subframe 200 and the inclined cooling module 30.

[0104] It should be noted that the inclined cooling module 30 is fixed to the vehicle 1000 through the mounting bracket assembly 400, that is, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50. When the vehicle 1000 has a low-speed collision, the first bracket 40 can play a buffering role, thereby protecting the inclined cooling module 30.

[0105] Furthermore, after the first bracket 40 finishes buffering and the vehicle 1000 continues to be under force, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 will break successively, causing the inclined cooling module 30 to disengage from the vehicle 1000, reducing the degree of extrusion deformation of the inclined cooling module 30 by a large amount, and thereby reducing the maintenance cost.

[0106] According to the inclined cooling module assembly 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, when a low-speed collision occurs to the vehicle 1000, the mounting bracket assembly 400 can first play a buffering role to protect the inclined cooling module 30. After the buffering is completed, if the vehicle 1000 continues to be stressed, the first bracket 40 and the second bracket 50 of the mounting bracket assembly 400 will break successively, so that the inclined cooling module 30 is disengaged from the vehicle 1000. In this way, the inclined cooling module 30 no longer participates in the deformation of the front end of the vehicle 1000, and the extrusion deformation of the inclined cooling module 30 is reduced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost.

[0107] Optionally, as Figures 19 - 20 、 Figure 23 shown, the inclined cooling module 30 is mounted on the vehicle 1000 through the mounting bracket assembly 400. After a low-speed collision of the vehicle 1000, the mounting bracket assembly 400 breaks. In subsequent maintenance, only the broken mounting bracket assembly 400 needs to be replaced with a new mounting bracket assembly 400, and then the inclined cooling module 30 can be mounted on the vehicle 1000 again. In this way, the maintenance cost can be reduced.

[0108] It can be understood that after the mounting bracket assembly 400 breaks, in subsequent maintenance of the vehicle 1000, only the broken mounting bracket assembly 400 needs to be replaced with a new mounting bracket assembly 400, and then the inclined cooling module 30 can be mounted on the vehicle 1000 again. In this way, the maintenance cost of the inclined cooling module 30 can be reduced.

[0109] The present invention also proposes a vehicle 1000.

[0110] As Figure 26 shown, the vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the inclined cooling module assembly 300 of the above embodiment.

[0111] Vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the vehicle 1000, the inclined cooling module assembly 300 includes an inclined cooling module 30 and a mounting bracket assembly 400. The mounting bracket assembly 400 includes a first bracket 40 and a second bracket 50. The first bracket 40 is disposed between the front lower cross beam 100 of the vehicle and the inclined cooling module 30. The mounting holes 411 on the first body portion 41 include a first sub-hole 412 and a second sub-hole 413. The first sub-hole 412 and the second sub-hole 413 are connected through a guiding groove 414. A connecting member 44 is installed in the first sub-hole 412 to connect the first body portion 41 with the front lower cross beam 100. When the vehicle 1000 undergoes a low-speed collision, the inclined cooling module 30 can drive the connecting member 44 to move from the first sub-hole 412 towards the second sub-hole 413. In this way, the movement of the connecting member 44 can buffer the inclined cooling module 30, thereby reducing the damage of the inclined cooling module 30 and facilitating the reduction of maintenance costs.

[0112] Vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 24 shown, the inclined cooling module assembly 300 is installed in the vehicle 1000. When the vehicle 1000 encounters a low-speed collision, as Figures 13 - 18 shown, the first bracket 40 of the mounting bracket assembly 400 will first buffer the inclined cooling module 30 to reduce the damage degree of the inclined cooling module 30. After the buffering is completed, if the inclined cooling module 30 continues to be stressed, the first bracket 40 will break under the external force, so that the front end of the inclined cooling module 30 will first disengage from the vehicle 1000.

[0113] After the first bracket 40 breaks, if the vehicle 1000 continues to be stressed, the second bracket 50 at the rear end of the inclined cooling module 30 will also break under the action of the force, causing the entire inclined cooling module 30 to disengage from the vehicle 1000. As Figures 21 - 22 shown, the breakage of the second bracket 50 of the inclined cooling module assembly 300 causes the inclined cooling module 30 to be disconnected from the vehicle 1000. At the same time, the first bracket 40 has broken first, so there is no connection point between the inclined cooling module 30 and the vehicle 1000. At this time, as Figure 25 shown, the inclined cooling module 30 will fall out downward from the vehicle 1000. In this way, the inclined cooling module 30 will not be overly squeezed, with a smaller deformation degree and lower maintenance costs. When the vehicle 1000 is being repaired, only by replacing the damaged mounting bracket assembly 400 with a brand-new mounting bracket assembly 400 can the inclined cooling module 30 be reinstalled on the vehicle 1000 again.
