[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a mounting bracket 100 for fixing a vehicle 200 to a skid body 300. The mounting bracket 100 includes:

[0034] The first positioning plate 110 has a first positioning hole 111, which is used to cooperate with the positioning structure provided on the skid body 300 for fixing.

[0035] The first mounting plate 120 is connected to the first side of the first positioning plate 110. The first mounting plate 120 is connected to the first bending plate 121 on the side of the first mounting plate 120 near the floor longitudinal beam 210 of the vehicle 200. The first bending plate 121 is detachably connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0036] The second mounting plate 130 is connected to the second side of the first positioning plate 110. A second bending plate 131 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 130 near the floor longitudinal beam 210. The second bending plate 131 is detachably connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0037] The first side and the second side are opposite to each other.

[0038] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 100 in this embodiment is positioned between the vehicle body-in-white 200 and the skid body 300, and is used to position the body-in-white on the skid body 300 without the need for special tooling. The first positioning plate 110 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which has good corrosion resistance and durability. The first positioning hole 111 can be designed as circular or elliptical, allowing for a certain range of adjustment when the positioning structure on the skid body 300 is installed with the first positioning hole 111, facilitating precise matching between the first positioning plate 110 and the positioning structure on the skid body 300.

[0039] The first mounting plate 120 or the second mounting plate 130 can be perpendicularly connected to the first positioning plate 110, or they can have the same or different bending angles. The first mounting plate 120 and the second mounting plate 130 can also be made of high-strength aluminum alloy or C-shaped steel, enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket 100. The first bending plate 121 is located on one side of the first mounting plate 120 and is detachably connected to the vehicle floor longitudinal beam 210 via a fastener. The second bending plate 131 can also be located on one side of the second mounting plate 130 and is detachably connected to the vehicle floor longitudinal beam 210 via a fastener. The bending design of the first bending plate 121 and the second bending plate 131 allows the mounting bracket 100 to better adapt to the structural shape of the floor longitudinal beam 210 of different vehicle models and increases the stability of the fixation. Specifically, detachable fasteners can be bolts, nuts, pins, quick-release connectors, plugs, magnetic connectors, etc., which improves the convenience of installation and unloading, saves labor costs and time, and improves work efficiency.

[0040] Thus, through the design of the mounting bracket 100 in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 and the body-in-white are connected in an adjustable and detachable manner, making the mounting bracket 100 applicable to a variety of different vehicle models. This solves the problem that traditional brackets need to be specifically manufactured for each vehicle model, reduces production and management costs, and improves the flexibility of vehicle transfer in the workshop.

[0041] Optionally, it also includes a connecting plate 140 and a second positioning plate 150. The connecting plate 140 is disposed on the third side of the first positioning plate 110. The first side, the third side and the second side are connected in sequence. The second positioning plate 150 is connected to the opposite side of the fourth side of the connecting plate 140. The fourth side is the side on which the connecting plate 140 is connected to the first positioning plate 110. There is an angle between the connecting plate 140 and the first positioning plate 110. The second positioning plate 150 is parallel to a plane on the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0042] The second positioning plate 150 has a second positioning hole 151, which is used to cooperate with the first protruding rib 211 provided on the floor longitudinal beam 210. The second positioning hole 151 is fixed at the first protruding rib 211.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting bracket 100 is also provided with a connecting plate 140 and a second positioning plate 150. The second positioning plate 150 can be set between the first mounting plate 120 and the second mounting plate 130. The second positioning plate 150 is connected to the first positioning plate 110 through the connecting plate 140, which is specifically set on the third side of the first positioning plate 110. Since the first side, the third side, and the second side are connected in sequence, it can be seen that the first mounting plate 120, the second positioning plate 150, and the second mounting plate 130 are sequentially set on three adjacent sides of the first positioning plate 110. The first bending plate 121, the second positioning plate 150, and the second bending plate 131 are all connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210, so that the mounting bracket 100 can be stably connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210, providing support for the first positioning plate 110 and achieving a safe and stable connection between the body-in-white and the skid body 300.

[0044] The first positioning plate 110 and the connecting plate 140 can have a fixed angle, so that there is a certain distance between the first positioning plate 110 and the floor longitudinal beam 210. The second positioning plate 150 can be connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210, and the first positioning plate 110 is connected to the skid body 300. It can be widely used for different vehicle models, and there is no need to use special tooling to position the body-in-white onto the skid body 300, thus improving the flexibility of vehicle transfer in the workshop.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that when installing the mounting bracket 100 onto the vehicle body, the first protruding rib 211 can be located first through the second positioning hole 151. The second positioning hole 151 is then aligned with the first protruding rib 211, and the first protruding rib 211 is embedded into the second positioning hole 151, thereby achieving initial positioning of the mounting bracket 100. After configuring the first protruding rib 211 and the second positioning hole 151, the first bending plate 121 and the second bending plate 131 can be directly fixed to the vehicle body, achieving quick and accurate positioning.

[0046] Optionally, the diameter of the second positioning hole 151 is larger than the outer dimension of the first rib 211.

[0047] In some embodiments, the diameter of the second positioning hole is designed to be larger than the outer dimension of the first rib 211. For example, if the outer dimension of the first rib is 10 millimeters (mm), the diameter of the second positioning hole is designed to be 10.5 mm. This design ensures that there is still enough space for fine-tuning during fixing. The position of the mounting bracket 100 can be adjusted through the reserved 0.5 mm gap to achieve precise alignment with the vehicle floor longitudinal beam 210. Because the diameter of the second positioning hole is larger than the outer dimension of the first rib, construction personnel can easily perform positioning and adjustment without affecting the structural strength.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the second positioning hole 151 in this embodiment can be consistent with the outer contour shape of the first rib 211, so that the mounting bracket 100 can be initially and stably positioned on the floor longitudinal beam 210 through the second positioning hole 151. At the same time, it improves the applicability and flexibility of the mounting bracket 100 and improves safety performance by reducing stress concentration.

[0049] Optionally, the second positioning plate 150 cooperates with the second protruding rib 212 provided on the floor longitudinal beam 210, and the second positioning plate 150 is inserted into the second protruding rib 212 to fix the position of the mounting bracket 100 on the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the outer edge of the second positioning plate 150 can be tightly fitted with the inner edge of the second rib 212, allowing the second positioning plate 150 to precisely engage with the area enclosed by the second rib 212. The thickness of the second positioning plate 150 can be consistent with the height of the second rib 212, and the second rib 212 and the second positioning plate 150 can cooperate to ensure that the mounting bracket 100 is not easily deformed due to its high temperature. The second rib 212 can be provided on the vehicle floor longitudinal beam 210 to provide additional stable support for the second positioning plate 150.

[0051] Optionally, the outer edge portion of the second positioning plate 150 is fitted with the inner edge portion of the second rib 212.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the geometry of the second positioning plate 150 can be adapted to the second rib 212 to ensure that the mounting bracket 100 can be smoothly embedded when installed on the floor longitudinal beam 210. By snapping the second positioning plate 150 into the second rib 212, a more stable connection is achieved, effectively resisting various dynamic loads, thereby preventing displacement of the body-in-white during the transfer of the skid body 300.

[0053] Optionally, it also includes a first fastener 160 and a second fastener 170;

[0054] The first bending plate 121 has a first mounting hole 1211, and the second bending plate 131 has a second mounting hole 1311. The first mounting hole 1211 corresponds to the third mounting hole 213 on the floor longitudinal beam 210, and the second mounting hole 1311 corresponds to the fourth mounting hole 214 on the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0055] The first fastener 160 is inserted into the first mounting hole 1211 and the third mounting hole 213 for fixation, and the second fastener 170 is inserted into the second mounting hole 1311 and the fourth mounting hole 214 for fixation. The first fastener 160 and the second fastener 170 are used to fix the mounting bracket 100 to the floor longitudinal beam 210.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, by providing a first fixing member 160 and a second fixing member 170, the mounting bracket 100 can be detachably connected to the floor longitudinal beam 210. The first fixing member 160 and the second fixing member 170 can be the same or different, and can be easily detachable structures such as bolts and nuts, pins, quick-release connectors, plugs, and magnetic connectors. Furthermore, a third mounting hole 213 and a fourth mounting hole 214 can be provided on the floor longitudinal beam 210 corresponding to the first mounting hole 1211 and the second mounting hole 1311. The size of the third mounting hole 213 can be consistent with the nominal diameter of the first fixing member 160, and the size of the fourth mounting hole 214 can also be consistent with the nominal diameter of the second fixing member 170, serving a precise positioning function.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that the third mounting hole 213 and the fourth mounting hole 214 on the floor longitudinal beam 210 can be mounting holes pre-reserved during the design of the body-in-white (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 in this embodiment can be installed on various vehicle models. In this way, the body-in-white of each vehicle model can be positioned onto the skid body 300 using the mounting bracket in this embodiment, enabling flexible transport.

[0058] Optionally, both the first mounting hole 1211 and the second mounting hole 1311 are slots, the first mounting hole 1211 is slidably connected to the first fixing member 160, and the second mounting hole 1311 is slidably connected to the second fixing member 170.

[0059] In a specific embodiment of this application, both the first mounting hole 1211 and the second mounting hole 1311 can be designed as slotted structures, allowing the first fixing member 160 and the second fixing member 170 to slide within them. The length of the slot is greater than the diameter of the fixing member, allowing for a certain range of lateral sliding. This design allows for fine-tuning of the position of the mounting bracket 100 on the floor longitudinal beam 210 during installation, according to specific needs. Furthermore, the first fixing member 160 and the second fixing member 170 can be bolts or other connecting components with round heads. These fixing members can easily pass through the corresponding slots and mate with the corresponding mounting holes on the floor longitudinal beam 210. Their round head design facilitates easy positioning during sliding.

[0060] Optionally, there is a first included angle between the first mounting plate 120 and the first positioning plate 110, and a second included angle between the second mounting plate 130 and the first positioning plate 110, wherein the first included angle and the second included angle are complementary or equal.

[0061] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the "V" structure formed by the first and second included angles effectively disperses the load, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation caused by impacts in a single direction and improving the compressive and torsional resistance of the mounting bracket 100. Furthermore, the complementary angle design allows the mounting bracket 100 to adapt well to the structural characteristics of different vehicle models or bodies, ensuring good coordination under various dynamic conditions. Simultaneously, the angle design optimizes the contact area of ​​each component, reducing wear caused by asymmetry and extending the service life of the mounting bracket 100.

[0062] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned CNC machine tool can solve the defects of the prior art proposed in the embodiments of this application and play a certain beneficial effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

The terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," as used in this application, are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship also changes accordingly.
