Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle parts technology, specifically a universal self-adaptive license plate installation tool. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most license plate mounting plates are fixed and cannot accommodate license plates of different sizes. However, license plates often have multiple size requirements, making it impossible to use a single plate to match different sizes. Instead, multiple plates are needed to accommodate license plates from different countries, which impacts automobile production. Furthermore, license plates from countries with small export volumes are used with unsuitable sizes, affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0003] The inventors discovered that existing technologies include adjustable license plate mounting plates, which can adapt to different license plate sizes, but cannot achieve stepless adjustment. Furthermore, some external parts are required, and the entire installation process requires the use of these external parts to achieve proper coverage and aesthetics, making the process cumbersome and difficult to match with the overall installation.

[0004] For example, Chinese authorized invention patent CN 104608707 B, entitled "License Plate Frame Assembly," describes an adjustable-length license plate frame assembly. It introduces a support plate that slides left and right to change the overall length of the license plate frame. The support plate has a groove on its end face facing the main body, and multiple mating holes spaced apart along the left-right direction on the side wall of the groove. A sliding plate slidably engages within the groove, and at least one elastic claw on the outer peripheral wall of the sliding plate is suitable for extending into the mating hole. The mating hole and the elastic claw define a positioning component. When each support plate moves to engage with the corresponding two elastic claws and the two sets of mating holes on the corresponding support plate, the distance between each support plate and the main body is closest, and the overall length of the license plate frame assembly is shortest. When the elastic claw on each sliding plate, furthest from the main body, engages with the set of mating holes on the corresponding support plate adjacent to the main body, the distance between each support plate and the main body is farthest, and the overall length of the license plate frame assembly is longest. In other words, the bracket and the two support plates can achieve two different length variations.

[0005] Furthermore, the above-mentioned technical solution can also adjust the height of the license plate frame by installing a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate, but it also cannot achieve stepless adjustment.

[0006] Furthermore, both length and height adjustments require the use of external parts (shielding parts), which increases the installation steps and hinders ease of installation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a universal license plate self-adaptive installation fixture, which adopts an integral nested structure, enabling stepless adjustment of both the length and height of any license plate to adapt to the self-adaptive installation of license plates of different sizes. In addition, without the need for additional external parts, it can simultaneously achieve the function of wrapping the license plate around its perimeter, making installation simple and quick, and solving the problems in the prior art.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0010] The first substrate and the second substrate are used to connect to the vehicle. A receiving area is formed between the first substrate, the second substrate, the first sub-board, the second sub-board, the third sub-board and the fourth sub-board, and the receiving area is used to install the license plate.

[0011] As an alternative technical solution, the back of the first substrate is provided with a first groove along a first direction, and the inner sides of the first sub-board and the second sub-board are both provided with a first slide rail along a first direction, and the first slide rail is slidably connected to the first groove.

[0012] As an alternative technical solution, the first substrate is provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, and the first sub-board and the second sub-board are respectively provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, wherein the first mounting groove is adapted to the position of the first mounting hole, and the second mounting groove is adapted to the position of the second mounting hole.

[0013] As an alternative technical solution, the back of the second substrate is provided with a second slide rail along the first direction, and the inner sides of the third sub-board and the fourth sub-board are both provided with a second slide groove along the first direction, and the second slide rail is slidably connected to the second slide groove.

[0014] As an alternative technical solution, the second substrate is provided with a third mounting hole and a fourth mounting hole, and the third sub-board and the fourth sub-board are respectively provided with a third mounting groove and a fourth mounting groove, the third mounting groove being adapted to the position of the third mounting hole, and the fourth mounting groove being adapted to the position of the fourth mounting hole.

[0015] As an alternative technical solution, the front side of the first substrate is further provided with a third sliding groove along the second direction, and the back side of the second substrate is further provided with a third sliding rail along the second direction, wherein the third sliding rail is slidably connected to the third sliding groove.

[0016] As an alternative technical solution, the first sub-plate and the second sub-plate are respectively provided with a fourth sliding groove along the second direction, and the third sub-plate and the fourth sub-plate are respectively provided with a fourth sliding rail along the second direction, and the fourth sliding rail is slidably connected to the fourth sliding groove.

[0017] As an optional technical solution, the fourth slide groove includes a U-shaped slide groove and a double U-shaped slide groove, and the fourth slide rail includes an L-shaped slide rail and a double L-shaped slide rail. The L-shaped slide rail is slidably connected to the U-shaped slide groove, and the double L-shaped slide rail is slidably connected to the double U-shaped slide groove.

[0018] As an alternative technical solution, the ends of the first sub-board and the second sub-board away from the first substrate are provided with U-shaped protrusions, and the ends of the third sub-board and the fourth sub-board away from the second substrate are provided with U-shaped grooves, and the U-shaped protrusions are slidably connected to the corresponding U-shaped grooves.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This invention provides a universal self-adaptive license plate installation fixture. Addressing the problem in existing technologies that cannot effectively achieve stepless adjustment of the length and height of the license plate mounting plate, this invention designs a first component and a second component. The first and second sub-plates of the first component can slide laterally along the first base plate, and the third and fourth sub-plates of the second component can slide laterally along the second base plate, achieving stepless adjustment of the overall length. Furthermore, by vertically connecting the first base plate of the first component with the second base plate of the second component, and simultaneously allowing the first and third sub-plates, as well as the second and fourth sub-plates, to slide vertically, stepless vertical adjustment of the entire fixture is achieved.

[0022] 2. The present invention adopts an integral nested structure, which realizes the adaptive adjustment of the license plate by relying on the friction between the sliding connected parts, and effectively limits the license plate without the need for additional parts for installation or cooperation, reducing the installation steps and the number of parts, and the overall operation process is more convenient, simple and efficient.

[0023] 3. The first and second components of the present invention achieve stepless adjustment without the need for additional parts to wrap the license plate. This can minimize the risk of additional parts falling off due to vibrations caused by road bumps, speed bumps, etc. when the vehicle is put into use later, thus improving the overall installation effectiveness and preventing the license plate from falling off.

[0024] 4. In both the first and second directions, the present invention provides multiple sliding connection parts, which can effectively ensure the installation stability and connection strengthening effect during the adjustment process.

[0025] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] Example 1:

[0062] Referring to the aforementioned background description, while existing technologies exist for adjusting the license plate mounting bracket, these solutions are specifically tailored to the license plate requirements of several export countries. During installation, additional components are required for assembly to achieve a satisfactory overall installation effect. It is understood that in this solution, the additional components also need to be adapted for different export destination countries, and these additional components need to be designed in various specifications.

[0063] Furthermore, the aforementioned solution has a relatively complex structure, adding an additional length adjustment mechanism and a limiting structure adapted to the length adjustment mechanism, making operation more complicated. More importantly, because it is designed for license plate installation in several export destination countries, the length adjustment mechanism in this solution can only achieve "two-level adjustment," thus providing a total of three length options based on the original length. Even if this solution is expanded, due to the limitations of its designed length adjustment mechanism, stepless adjustment cannot be achieved.

[0064] Therefore, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a universal license plate adaptive installation fixture, which adopts an integral nested structure, nesting multiple components together by sliding connection, so as to realize the adaptive adjustment of the installation plate to the length and height of the license plate, and can achieve stepless adjustment without the need for additional parts installation. The structure is very simple and compact, and the installation is convenient and quick, truly achieving foolproof installation, and has a very good application prospect.

[0065] For details, please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the universal license plate adaptive installation fixture of this embodiment includes a first component 1 and a second component 2. The first component 1 includes a first base plate 3, and the first base plate 3 is slidably connected to a first sub-plate 4 and a second sub-plate 5 along a first direction. The second component 2 includes a second base plate 6, and the second base plate 6 is slidably connected to a third sub-plate 7 and a fourth sub-plate 8 along a first direction.

[0066] In this embodiment, for ease of subsequent description, the first direction is designated as the left and right direction. The installation length of the license plate 9 is adjusted as a whole by sliding the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5 along the left and right direction of the first substrate 3, and by sliding the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8 along the left and right direction of the second substrate 6.

[0067] To achieve height adjustment of the license plate 9, the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 6, the first sub-plate 4 and the third sub-plate 7, and the second sub-plate 5 and the fourth sub-plate 8 are all slidably connected along a second direction. In this embodiment, for ease of subsequent description, the second direction is designated as the vertical direction. It can be understood that the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. By sliding the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 6 along the vertical direction, the connection between the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 6 is achieved, making the entire device an integral structure, and the adjustment stroke in the height direction is also increased. The vertical sliding connection between the first sub-plate 4 and the third sub-plate 7, and between the second sub-plate 5 and the fourth sub-plate 8, enables height adjustment of the license plate 9 and provides limiting and wrapping force around the license plate 9.

[0068] Considering the usage scenario of the universal license plate 9 adaptive installation fixture in this embodiment, the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 6 are used to connect with the whole vehicle. The first base plate 3, the second base plate 6, the first sub-plate 4, the second sub-plate 5, the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8 form a receiving area, which is used to install the license plate 9.

[0069] based on Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, regarding the positional relationship of the components, the first sub-board 4 is designated as the upper left board of the entire device, the second sub-board 5 is designated as the upper right board of the entire device, the third sub-board 7 is designated as the lower left board of the entire device, and the fourth sub-board 8 is designated as the lower right board of the entire device. The first substrate 3 is the upper substrate, and the second substrate 6 is the lower substrate.

[0070] It is understood that the sliding friction between the various slidingly connected components in this embodiment is relatively large, making it difficult for the components to slide relative to each other without manual adjustment. Furthermore, when the license plate 9 is placed within the receiving area and the size of the receiving area is adjusted manually by manipulating the components, the sliding friction between the components can be overcome, allowing the components to slide relative to each other and achieving adaptive adjustment of the license plate 9. After adjustment, due to the existence of sliding friction, the components can remain relatively stationary, and the license plate 9 can be reasonably limited, ensuring its stable installation.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, each component can be integrally formed using sheet metal, stamping, or other technologies, and then the components are assembled as a whole to achieve an integrated structure. From Figure 3 As can be seen, the various components are connected by sliding joints through protrusions or grooves designed on them.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, where Figure 4 Axial view of the license plate after the tooling for the largest license plate 9 has been installed. Figure 5 This is a minimum axial view of the mounting fixture for license plate 9 without license plate 9 installed. Therefore, the mounting fixture in this embodiment can be well adapted to both large and small license plate 9 sizes.

[0073] For details, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, Figure 8 A rear axial view showing the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5 assembled to their minimum dimensions. Figure 9 A front axial view showing the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5 assembled in their smallest possible dimensions. Figure 10 The rear axial view shows the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5 assembled at their maximum dimensions. Figure 11 The first substrate 3 and the second sub-plate 5 are assembled at their maximum size in the front axial view. It can be seen that during the adaptive adjustment process from the minimum size of the license plate 9 to the maximum size of the license plate 9, the first slide rail 11 on the second sub-plate 5 slides left and right along the first slide groove 10 of the first substrate 3, realizing the relative movement of the second sub-plate 5 with respect to the first substrate 3, changing the size of the receiving area, so that the size of the receiving area is adapted to the license plate 9.

[0074] Two mounting holes are provided on the first base plate 3, namely a first mounting hole 12 and a second mounting hole 13, which are used to connect and fix the first component 1 to the vehicle body. During installation, the BOSS pillar 40 is passed through the first mounting hole 12 and the second mounting hole 13 to fix the first base plate 3 to the vehicle.

[0075] To prevent interference between the first sub-board 4 and the second sub-board 5 and the BOSS pillar 40 within the mounting holes when they move left and right along the first substrate 3, a first mounting groove 14 and a second mounting groove 15 are respectively provided on the first sub-board 4 and the second sub-board 5 at positions corresponding to the BOSS pillar 40. Both the first mounting groove 14 and the second mounting groove 15 are elongated holes to avoid the BOSS pillar 40 on the first substrate 3. Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, when the second upper plate moves horizontally, it does not interfere with the BOSS pillar 40 of the first substrate 3.

[0076] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 The image shows a front axial view of the license plate 9 installation fixture disassembled into upper and lower components and a rear axial view of the license plate 9 installation fixture disassembled into upper and lower components, wherein the upper part is the first component 1 and the lower part is the second component 2. Figure 7The diagram illustrates the specific connection method for adjustment in the left-right direction. In the first component 1, two sets of first sliding grooves 10 are provided on the first base plate 3, and two sets of first sliding rails 11 are provided at corresponding positions on the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5. The first sliding rails 11 are slidably connected to the first sliding grooves 10, thereby enabling adaptive adjustment of the upper part of the entire mounting fixture to the length of the license plate 9. The purpose of providing two sets of first sliding grooves 10 and first sliding rails 11 is to improve the motion stability during the adjustment process.

[0077] Figure 7 As can be seen from the lower half of the image, a second slide rail 17 is provided at the lower part of the second base plate 6, and a second slide groove 16 is provided on the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8 corresponding to the position of the second slide rail 17. The second slide rail 17 and the second slide groove 16 are slidably connected, thereby realizing the adaptive adjustment of the lower half of the entire mounting fixture to the length of the license plate 9.

[0078] from Figure 6 As can be seen, the front side of the first substrate 3 is provided with multiple third slide grooves 22, and the back side of the second substrate 6 is provided with multiple third slide rails 23. The third slide rails 23 are slidably connected to the third slide grooves 22, realizing the connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2 of the entire mounting fixture, while increasing the adjustment range of the height adaptive adjustment of the license plate 9.

[0079] Figure 7 The diagram also shows a vertical fourth slide groove 25 on the back of the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5, and a fourth slide rail 24 corresponding to the fourth slide groove 25 on the front of the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8. The fourth slide rail 24 is slidably connected to the fourth slide groove 25 to achieve adaptive adjustment of the license plate 9 height. The fourth slide groove 25 includes two types: a U-shaped slide groove 26 and a double U-shaped slide groove 27; the fourth slide rail 24 also includes two types: an L-shaped slide rail 28 and a double L-shaped slide rail 29. The L-shaped slide rail 28 is adapted to the U-shaped slide groove 26, and the double L-shaped slide rail 29 is adapted to the double U-shaped slide groove 27, thereby achieving more stable vertical movement.

[0080] like Figure 12 The figure shows an axial view of the back side of the first substrate 3, illustrating the specific arrangement of the two sets of first slide grooves 10. One set of first slide grooves 10 is located in the middle of the back side of the first substrate 3, and the other set is located in the lower part of the back side of the first substrate 3. Both sets of first slide grooves 10 include an upper L-shaped track 38 and a lower L-shaped track 39. The L-shaped track and the lower L-shaped track 39 together form the structure of the first slide groove 10, which can better achieve the functions of limiting and guiding during the left and right movement of the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5.

[0081] Figure 12In this design, a limiting slide plate 33 is provided on the top of the first substrate 3. The function of the limiting slide plate 33 is to cooperate with the flange structure 32 on the top of the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5. The flange structure 32 cooperates with the limiting slide plate 33 to achieve a more stable sliding connection. On the other hand, it also compensates for the unsightly exposure of the license plate 9 when the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5 are separated to their maximum size, thus obscuring the upper edge of the license plate 9.

[0082] like Figure 13 The figure shows a front axial view of the second sub-plate 5, illustrating the specific arrangement of the two sets of first slide rails 11. One set of first slide rails 11 is located in the middle of the front of the second sub-plate 5, while the other set is located at the lower part of the front of the second sub-plate 5. Both sets of first slide rails 11 include an upper T-shaped slide rail 41 and a lower T-shaped slide rail 42. The upper T-shaped slide rail 41 and the lower T-shaped slide rail 42 together form the first slide rail 11, which can be well adapted to the structure of the first slide groove 10.

[0083] A U-shaped protrusion 30 is provided at the edge of the second sub-board 5. The U-shaped protrusion 30 includes a vertical surface 34 and a horizontal surface 35. The vertical surface 34 serves to connect and reinforce, and the horizontal surface 35 serves to connect and reinforce, while also serving to fix the self-tapping screw of the license plate 9.

[0084] Please see Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, where, Figure 14 This is a front view and a cross-sectional view of the mating structure after the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5 are installed. Figure 15 This is an enlarged view of the upper part of the cross-section of the mating structure of the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5. Figure 16 This is an enlarged lower view of the cross-section of the mating structure of the first substrate 3 and the second sub-board 5. Figure 14 In the middle, cut along line AA and observe in the direction of the arrow. Figure 14 Sectional view along line AA. Figure 15 The image shows the state in which the limiting slide plate 33 structure set on the top of the first substrate 3 and the flange structure 32 on the top of the second sub-board 5 cooperate with each other. It can be understood that the flange structure 32 on the top of the second sub-board 5 is the upper flange 36. Figure 15 The lower part also shows the mating structure and connection form of one of the first slide grooves 10 and the first slide rail 11.

[0085] Figure 15 In the middle, the cross-section of the second sub-plate 5 reflects the upper L+T structure and the double-T slide rail, while the cross-section of the first base plate 3 reflects the BOSS column 40 structure and the slide-groove structure composed of double L sections. Figure 16 In the middle, the cross-section of the second sub-plate 5 shows the lower double T slide rail, and the cross-section of the first base plate 3 shows the lower double L groove structure.

[0086] The structure of the first sub-board 4 is the same as that of the second sub-board 5. The connection and mating method between the first sub-board 4 and the first substrate 3 is the same as that between the upper plate of the second sub-board 5 and the first substrate 3. Further details will not be provided here.

[0087] Please see Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 As shown, where, Figure 17 A front axial view showing the second substrate 6 and the fourth sub-board 8 assembled in their smallest possible dimensions. Figure 18 A rear axial view showing the second substrate 6 and the fourth sub-board 8 assembled to their minimum dimensions. Figure 19 A front axial view showing the second substrate 6 and the fourth sub-board 8 assembled at their maximum dimensions. Figure 20 The rear axial view shows the second substrate 6 and the fourth sub-plate 8 assembled at their maximum dimensions. A second slide rail 17 is provided at the bottom of the second substrate 6, and a second slide groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the fourth sub-plate 8. The second slide rail 17 and the second slide groove 16 are slidably connected, allowing the lower half of the overall fixture to slide left and right along the second substrate 6, thus adaptively adjusting the length of the license plate 9.

[0088] Two mounting holes are provided on the second slide rail 17 of the second substrate 6, namely a third mounting hole 18 and a fourth mounting hole 19. Similarly, in order to avoid interference between the third sub-board 7 and the fourth sub-board 8 and the connectors installed in the mounting holes during left and right movement, a third mounting groove 20 and a fourth mounting groove 21 are respectively provided at corresponding positions on the third sub-board 7 and the fourth sub-board 8, which are used to accommodate the connectors in the third mounting hole 18 and the fourth mounting hole 19 during left and right movement.

[0089] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in this embodiment... Figure 21 Cut along line BB and observe in the direction of the arrow to obtain Figure 22 BB section view. In Figure 22 The diagram shows the specific mating structure and connection form of the second slide rail 17 and the second slide groove 16. The third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8 are also provided with flange structures 32, which are lower flanges 37 in this case. The lower flanges 37 are provided outside the second slide rail 17 to form the structure of the second slide groove 16, which limits the movement direction of the second slide rail 17 and the second slide groove 16. Figure 22 The diagram illustrates the L-shaped groove of the second substrate 6, which cooperates with the L-shaped slide rail 28 of the fourth sub-board 8. At the same time, the lower flange 37 of the second substrate 6 cooperates with the lower flange 37 of the fourth sub-board 8 to ensure that the fourth sub-board 8 can only slide horizontally along the second substrate 6.

[0090] The vertical sliding mechanism of the upper and lower parts of the license plate 9 installation fixture in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 23 . Figure 23 Rear view and cross-sectional view of the mating structure after the installation of the tooling for license plate 9. Figure 23 A cross-section along the CC line yields... Figure 23 CC cross-sectional view of the structure.

[0091] Figure 24 This is an enlarged view of the left side of the cross-section, showing the upper and lower parts of the license plate 9 mounting fixture. The figure shows that the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 6 are connected by a sliding groove and rail. The first substrate 3 features a double L-shaped sliding groove, and the second substrate 6 features a double L-shaped sliding rail 29, thus ensuring that the second substrate 6 and the first substrate 3 can only slide vertically.

[0092] Figure 24 It also shows that the fourth sub-plate 8 and the second sub-plate 5 are connected and fitted by a U-shaped connection on the left (U-shaped protrusion 30 and U-shaped groove 31), the U-shaped slide groove 26 of the second sub-plate 5 is shown in the middle, as well as the U-shaped slide rail of the fourth sub-plate 8, and the double L-shaped slide rail 29 of the second sub-plate 5 and the double U-shaped slide groove 27 of the fourth sub-plate 8 are shown on the right.

[0093] Figure 25 for Figure 23 The enlarged view of the middle section shows the sliding structure of the second sub-plate 5 and the fourth sub-plate 8. The second sub-plate 5 shows the L-shaped slide rail 28, and the fourth sub-plate 8 shows the C-shaped slide groove structure.

[0094] Please combine Figure 18 , Figure 13 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a U-shaped protrusion 30 is provided at the ends of the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5 away from the first substrate 3, and a U-shaped groove 31 is provided at the ends of the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8 away from the second substrate 6. The U-shaped protrusion 30 and the corresponding U-shaped groove 31 are slidably connected, thereby enabling the first sub-plate 4 and the second sub-plate 5 to slide vertically relative to the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8, and adaptively adjusting the height of the license plate 9.

[0095] Figure 26 The front axial view of the license plate 9 mounting fixture without the license plate 9 installed shows the four corresponding mounting holes on the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 6, which are used to install the license plate 9 mounting fixture onto the vehicle.

[0096] Figure 27This is a rear axial view of the license plate 9 mounting fixture at its minimum horizontal dimensions without the license plate 9 installed. It also shows the four corresponding mounting holes on the first base plate 3 and the second base plate 6, used to install the license plate 9 mounting fixture onto the vehicle. Two mounting holes on the first base plate 3 are BOSS pillars 40, used to bridge the distance between the first base plate 3 and the vehicle. The two mounting holes on the second base plate 6, along with the corresponding elongated holes on the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8, are used for horizontal movement of the third sub-plate 7 and the fourth sub-plate 8.

[0097] Figure 28 , Figure 29 This is a front and back view of the vehicle license plate 9 after assembly with the tooling, showing its maximum horizontal dimension and minimum vertical dimension. Figure 29 As can be seen, the elongated holes in the first sub-board 4 and the second sub-board 5 can avoid the two BOSS pillars 40 structure on the upper substrate.

[0098] Figure 30 , Figure 31 This is a front and back view of the vehicle license plate 9 after assembly with the tooling, showing its maximum horizontal and vertical dimensions. Figure 31 As can be seen, the elongated holes in the third sub-board 7 and the fourth sub-board 8 can avoid the two mounting holes on the lower substrate.

[0099] This embodiment aims to solve the installation problem of license plate 9 plates adapting to different sizes of license plates 9. Specifically, the size of the mounting fixture can be adjusted to suit the size of the license plate 9, while the mounting fixture also provides a wrapping effect around the license plate 9. The mounting fixture in this embodiment includes an upper base plate, an upper left plate, an upper right plate, a lower base plate, a lower left plate, and a lower right plate. The upper base plate, upper left plate, and upper right plate form the upper part of the license plate 9 mounting plate; the lower base plate, lower left plate, and lower right plate form the lower part of the license plate 9 mounting plate. During installation, firstly, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are assembled separately. Then, the upper and lower parts are assembled into a complete license plate 9 mounting plate. Four bolts are then used to fix the license plate 9 mounting plate to the vehicle through four holes on the upper and lower base plates. A license plate 9 mounting area is formed on the front of the license plate 9, and this area can be adjusted horizontally and vertically within a wide range according to the size of the license plate 9 to be installed, thus wrapping around the license plate 9. Finally, self-tapping screws are used to fix the license plate 9 to the license plate 9 mounting plate, ultimately achieving a unified installation of the license plate 9 and the vehicle.

[0100] In this embodiment, when adaptively adjusting based on the size of license plate 9, the license plate 9 plate can extend and retract in both horizontal and vertical directions. Both the upper and lower parts can move horizontally along a horizontal slide rail, while the upper and lower parts are connected by a vertical slide rail, allowing for vertical movement of both. Ultimately, the license plate 9 plate as a whole can extend and retract in both horizontal and vertical directions to match the requirements of license plate 9 of corresponding sizes, thus fulfilling the need to wrap around license plate 9 of the appropriate size.
