[0060] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 23 A bracket 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0061] According to the bracket 30 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the part to be protected 20 is installed through the bracket 30. The part to be protected 20 may include an on-board power supply, a control unit, or an on-board charging device, etc., which is not limited in this application. The on-board power supply, control unit, or on-board charging device is installed on the vehicle body 10 through the bracket 30. When the vehicle is hit, when the impact force is transmitted to the bracket 30, the bracket 30 can disperse the impact force and be used to transmit the impact force to the vehicle body, thereby reducing the impact force transmitted to the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the part to be protected 20.

[0062] The bracket 30 includes a first portion 3 and a second portion 4. For example, the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 are aligned along a first direction (see FIG. Figure 2 The first portion 3 and the second portion 4 are connected to each other (in the X direction). The member to be protected 20 is connected to the second portion 4. A first angle is formed between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4, thereby forming a first bend 61 between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4. The bracket 30 is adapted to bend and deform along the first bend 61. When the vehicle is impacted, the impact force is transmitted to the bracket 30, and the bracket 30 can deform along the first bend 61, causing the member to be protected 20 to rotate along the first bend 61, thereby changing the position of the member to be protected 20 and preventing the impact force from acting on the member to be protected 20 again. This improves the safety of the member to be protected 20, and thereby improves the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0063] The first included angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 is an obtuse angle, which can change the position of the component to be protected 20 within a relatively large range during a collision.

[0064] For example, one end of the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 away from the component 20 to be protected are both connected to the vehicle body 10 .

[0065] The bracket 30 can be connected to the second direction of the protected part 20 (see the attached Figure 2The first portion 3 and the second portion 4 are connected to one side of the second direction of the part 20 to be protected. The direction of the first angle opening between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 is opposite to the installation direction of the part 20 to be protected. When the part 20 to be protected is installed on one side of the second direction of the bracket 30, the first angle opening between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 faces the other side of the second direction; when the part 20 to be protected is installed on the other side of the second direction of the bracket 30, the first angle opening between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 faces one side of the second direction. When the vehicle is hit and the impact force is transmitted to the bracket 30, the bracket 30 can deform along the first bend 61, and the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 can rotate in a direction toward each other, which can drive the part 20 to be protected to rotate along the first bend 61, so that the part 20 to be protected is lifted toward one side or the other side of the second direction, thereby preventing the impact force from acting on the part 20 to be protected again, thereby improving the safety of the part 20 to be protected and thus improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0066] The first direction may be the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second direction may be the up-down direction of the vehicle; or the first direction may be the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second direction may be the up-down direction of the vehicle.

[0067] When the first direction is the front and rear direction of the vehicle, the first part 3 can be connected to the front end or rear end of the second part 4, and the part to be protected 20 can be installed above or below the bracket 30. When the vehicle is hit from behind, the impact force will hit the rear part of the bracket 30, and the bracket 30 will bend along the first bend 61. The position of the part to be protected 20 will change upward or downward, avoiding the impact force from further hitting the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0068] When the first direction is the left and right direction of the vehicle, the first part 3 can be connected to the left end or the right end of the second part 4, and the part to be protected 20 can be installed above or below the bracket 30. When the vehicle is hit from the side, the impact force will hit the rear of the bracket 30, and the bracket 30 will bend along the first bend 61. The position of the part to be protected 20 will change upward or downward, preventing the impact force from further hitting the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0069] For the convenience of description, the first direction below is the front-to-back direction, and the second direction is the up-down direction.

[0070] According to the bracket 30 of the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 30 includes a first part 3 and a second part 4 that are connected, and the part to be protected 20 is fixed to the second part 4. A first angle is formed between the first part 3 and the second part 4. When the vehicle is hit, the impact force will hit one side of the bracket 30, and the bracket 30 will bend along the first angle to drive the position of the part to be protected 20 to change, thereby preventing the impact force from hitting the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0071] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 30 is Figure 14-17 The first portion 3 and the second portion 4 are connected along a first direction. In the first direction, one end of the first angle is connected to the first portion 3, and the other end is bent in the second direction, that is, the other end of the first angle is connected to the second portion 4, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The provision of the first bend 61 changes the orientation of the bracket 30, allowing the second portion 4 to be tilted toward one side of the second direction. When the vehicle is hit from the side, the second portion 4 can be tilted toward the one side of the second direction, thereby changing the position of the component 20 to be protected, preventing the impact force from further impacting the component 20 to be protected, and improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 , the first angle is A, satisfying: 166°≤A≤172°, the first angle between the first part 3 and the second part 4 is large, that is, the slopes of the second part 4 and the first part 3 are relatively gentle, which can facilitate the installation of the protected component 20, and when the bracket 30 is bent and deformed, the deformation angle of the second part 4 and the first part 3 is large.

[0073] For example, the first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 is 166°, 167°, 169° or 172°, etc. Preferably, the first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 is 169°.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 The first part 3 is provided with at least one first reinforcing rib 31 . For example, the first part 3 is provided with one or more first reinforcing ribs 31 , which can increase the structural strength of the first part 3 .

[0075] When there is one first reinforcing rib 31, the first reinforcing rib 31 extends along the first direction or the second direction; when there are multiple first reinforcing ribs 31, all of the first reinforcing ribs 31 may extend along the first direction or the second direction, or some of the first reinforcing ribs 31 may extend along the first direction and some of the first reinforcing ribs 31 may extend along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0076] Preferably, the first reinforcing rib 31 extends along the first direction. When the vehicle is hit in the first direction, the bracket 30 can bend and deform in the first direction. The first reinforcing rib 31 extends along the first direction and can guide the bracket 30 to bend and deform in the first direction.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 The first portion 3 has a first lightening hole 32 and a second reinforcing rib 33. The second reinforcing rib 33 is arranged circumferentially around the first lightening hole 32. The first lightening hole 32 can reduce the weight of the bracket 30 itself. The second reinforcing rib 33 is arranged circumferentially around the first lightening hole 32 to increase the structural strength of the first portion 3. On the basis of reducing the weight of the bracket 30, it can also increase the structural strength of the bracket 30.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 The bracket 30 also includes a third part 5, the second part 4 is connected between the first part 3 and the third part 5, and a second angle is formed between the second part 4 and the third part 5 to form a second bend 62 between the second part 4 and the third part 5. The bracket 30 is suitable for bending and deforming along the second bend 62 between the second part 4 and the third part 5.

[0079] When the vehicle is hit, when the impact force is transmitted to the first part 3 or the third part 5 of the bracket 30, the bracket 30 can be deformed along the first bend 61 and the second bend 62, and the bracket 30 can be arched toward one side in the second direction, which can change the position of the part to be protected 20 and prevent the impact force from acting on the part to be protected 20 again, thereby improving the safety of the part to be protected 20 and thus improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0080] The first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 is an obtuse angle, and the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is also an obtuse angle. In the event of a collision, the position of the component to be protected 20 can be changed within a larger range.

[0081] For example, ends of the first portion 3 and the third portion 5 that are away from the component 20 to be protected are both connected to the vehicle body 10 .

[0082] The opening direction of the first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 can be the same as the opening direction of the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5, which can facilitate the processing of the bracket 30. The part to be protected 20 is installed on the side of the second portion 4 facing away from the first portion 3. When the vehicle is hit, the impact force is transmitted to the bracket 30, and the bracket 30 can deform along the first bend 61 and the second bend 62. The first portion 3 and the third portion 5 can rotate toward each other, causing the part to be protected 20 to arch toward the side in the second direction, preventing the impact force from acting on the part to be protected 20 again, thereby improving the safety of the part to be protected 20, and thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0083] The first direction may be the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second direction may be the up-down direction of the vehicle; or the first direction may be the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second direction may be the up-down direction of the vehicle.

[0084] When the first direction is the front and rear direction of the vehicle, the first part 3 and the third part 5 can be connected to the front end and the rear end of the second part 4 respectively, and the part to be protected 20 can be installed above or below the bracket 30. When the vehicle is hit from behind, the impact force will hit the rear end of the third part 5, and the part to be protected 20 will bend along the first bend 61 and the second bend 62. The position of the part to be protected 20 changes upward or downward, avoiding the impact force from further hitting the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0085] When the first direction is the left and right direction of the vehicle, the first part 3 and the third part 5 can be connected to the left and right ends of the second part 4 respectively, and the part to be protected 20 can be installed above or below the bracket 30. When the vehicle is hit from the side, the impact force will hit the rear of the part to be protected 20, and the part to be protected 20 will bend along the first bend 61 and the second bend 62. The position of the part to be protected 20 will change upward or downward, avoiding the impact force from further hitting the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0086] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17The first portion 3 and the third portion 5 are both bent toward the same side of the second portion 4, that is, the opening direction of the first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4 can be the same as the opening direction of the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5. When the vehicle is hit, the impact force will hit the third portion 5, and the third portion 5 will rotate around the second bend 62 toward the first portion 3, which can cause the rear end of the second portion 4 to arch, and then cause the rear end of the part to be protected 20 to arch. As the impact force further increases, the first portion 3 will rotate around the first bend 61, causing the front end of the second portion 4 to arch, and then cause the front end of the part to be protected 20 to arch, changing the position of the part to be protected 20, preventing the impact force from further hitting the part to be protected 20, and improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 The second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is B, satisfying the following: 147° ≤ B ≤ 153°. The second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is relatively large, meaning that the slopes of both portions are relatively gentle, facilitating the positioning of the component 20 to be protected. Furthermore, when the bracket 30 bends and deforms, the deformation angle is relatively large. Furthermore, the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is smaller than the first angle between the first portion 3 and the second portion 4, meaning that the slope of the first portion 3 is relatively gentle relative to that of the third portion 5.

[0088] For example, the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is 147°, 149°, 150° or 153°, etc. Preferably, the second angle between the second portion 4 and the third portion 5 is 150°.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16 The third part 5 includes a plurality of legs 51, and the plurality of legs 51 are arranged along the third direction (see FIG. Figure 2 The third portion 5 is spaced apart in the Y direction), and each leg 51 is provided with a third reinforcing rib 52, which can increase the structural strength of the third portion 5; the third reinforcing rib 52 extends along the first direction. When the vehicle is hit in the first direction, the bracket 30 can bend and deform in the first direction. The third reinforcing rib 52 extends along the first direction and can guide the bracket 30 to bend and deform in the first direction.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16Each leg 51 includes a first leg 511 and a second leg 512. Each first leg 511 is connected between the second leg 512 and the second portion 4. A third angle is formed between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512, thereby forming a third bend 63 between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512. The bracket 30 is adapted to bend and deform along the third bend 63. The second leg 512 is connected to the vehicle body 10, and the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction. The third direction may be the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0091] The third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 is an obtuse angle, which can change the position of the component 20 to be protected within a larger range during a collision.

[0092] The member 20 to be protected can be connected to one side of the bracket 30 in the second direction, or to the other side of the bracket 30 in the second direction. The opening direction of the third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 is the same as the installation direction of the member 20 to be protected. When the member 20 to be protected is installed on one side of the bracket 30 in the second direction, the opening direction of the third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 faces the same side in the second direction. When the vehicle is hit and the bracket 30 is subjected to the impact force, the third part 5 will rotate along the third bend 63 between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512. When the bracket 30 continues to be hit and squeezed, the third part 5 is pressurized in the direction of the second part 4, and the third part 5 is bent and deformed along the second bend 62, and the rear part of the part to be protected 20 is lifted through this deformed state; when the bracket 30 continues to be hit and squeezed, the second part 4 is pressurized in the direction of the first part 3, and the first part 3 is bent and deformed along the first bend 61, and the front part of the part to be protected 20 is lifted through this deformed state to change the position of the part to be protected 20, thereby preventing the impact force or structural parts from continuing to act on the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the part to be protected 20 and thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0093] In a specific example, the second leg 512 is provided with a first mounting hole 5121, and the vehicle body 10 is provided with a second mounting hole. The number of the first mounting holes 5121 and the second mounting holes is equal and corresponds one to one. Fasteners are passed through the first mounting hole 5121 and the second mounting hole to detachably mount one end of the bracket 30 to the vehicle body 10.

[0094] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17The third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 is C, which satisfies: 140°≤C≤146°. The third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 is large, that is, the slopes of the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 are relatively gentle, which can facilitate the connection between the second leg 512 and the vehicle body 10, and when the bracket 30 is bent and deformed, the deformation angle is large.

[0095] For example, the third angle between the first leg 511 and the second leg 512 is 140°, 143°, 145° or 146°, etc. Preferably, the third angle between the first part 3 and the second part 4 is 143°.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16 The second part 4 is provided with a fourth reinforcing rib 42, which is used to increase the structural strength of the second part 4, and the fourth reinforcing rib 42 extends along the first direction and / or the third direction.

[0097] When there is one fourth reinforcing rib 42, the fourth reinforcing rib 42 extends along the first direction or the third direction; when there are multiple fourth reinforcing ribs 42, all of the fourth reinforcing ribs 42 may extend along the first direction or the third direction, or some of the fourth reinforcing ribs 42 may extend along the first direction and some of the fourth reinforcing ribs 42 may extend along the third direction.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16 A recessed portion 41 is provided on the side of the second portion 4 facing the third portion 5. The recessed portion 41 is recessed toward the second portion 4 and located between two adjacent legs 51. The provision of the recessed portion 41 reduces the weight of the bracket 30. Furthermore, the structural strength of the first portion 3 is greater than that of the third portion 5. This design, through a balanced distribution of strengths, can support the protected component 20 against the bracket 30 during a collision.

[0099] The second portion 4 has a fourth reinforcing rib 42 at one end facing the recessed portion 41 . The fourth reinforcing rib 42 is used to increase the structural strength of the second portion 4 . This not only reduces the weight of the bracket 30 , but also increases the structural strength of the bracket 30 .

[0100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16 The bracket 30 is plate-shaped. Specifically, the bracket 30 is plate-shaped extending along the first direction. A first bending point 61, a second bending point 62 and a third bending point 63 can be bent on the plate-shaped bracket 30 to process the first part 3, the second part 4 and the third part 5. That is, the first part 3, the second part 4 and the third part 5 are all plate-shaped, which can facilitate the processing of the bracket 30.

[0101] In a specific example, a second weight-reducing hole 43 is provided on the second part 4, and a fifth reinforcing rib 44 is provided around the second weight-reducing hole 43 in the circumferential direction of the second weight-reducing hole 43. A sixth reinforcing rib 45 can be provided on the outer peripheral side of the second part 4 to increase the structural strength of the second part 4. On the basis of reducing the weight of the bracket 30, the structural strength of the bracket 30 can also be increased.

[0102] The second part 4 can also be provided with a first connecting hole 46, and the part to be protected 20 can be provided with a second connecting hole opposite to the first connecting hole 46. There can be multiple first connecting holes 46 and second connecting holes and the number is equal. The second connecting holes can be distributed at the four corners of the part to be protected 20. Fasteners are used to pass through the first connecting hole 46 and the second connecting hole to detachably mount the part to be protected 20 on the bracket 30.

[0103] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-16 The bracket 30 is an integrally formed part, which can avoid the occurrence of a connection point at the connection between the first part 3 and the second part 4, thereby increasing the structural strength of the bracket 30. For example, the bracket 30 can be a metal part.

[0104] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes: a bracket 30 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, an object to be protected 20, and a trunk 1. The bracket 30 secures the object to be protected 20 within the trunk 1, allowing the space between the vehicle and the second trunk 1 to be used to accommodate the object to be protected 20. When the object to be protected 20 is subjected to a rear impact or rear compression, the bracket 30 can disperse the force acting on the object to be protected 20. The bracket 30 can also bend along a first bend 61 to lift the object to be protected 20 from the trunk, thereby preventing further compression of the object to be protected 20.

[0105] For example, the first bending portion 61 may be located at the front or rear of the component 20 to be protected.

[0106] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned bracket 30, when the part to be protected 20 is hit and squeezed from the rear, the bracket 30 can disperse the force on the part to be protected 20, and the bracket 30 can also be bent along the first angle to lift the part to be protected 20 to prevent the part to be protected 20 from being further squeezed.

[0107] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 5 The trunk 1 has a mounting groove 11 that is recessed on one side facing the second direction, and the protected member 20 is fixed in the mounting groove 11. The protected member 20 is fixed in the mounting groove 11 so as not to occupy the existing space of the trunk 1. A shielding plate can be placed at the opening of the mounting groove 11 to shield the protected member 20.

[0108] The second direction is the up-down direction, and the mounting groove 11 is recessed downward.

[0109] When the vehicle is hit and squeezed from the rear, the bracket 30 can be bent along the first bend 61 to lift the part to be protected 20 and lift the part to be protected 20 out of the installation slot 11 to prevent the part to be protected 20 from being further squeezed.

[0110] For example, the mounting groove 11 may be a deep pit in the trunk 1 for placing the spare tire of the vehicle.

[0111] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6-Figure 9 The bracket 30 has a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion at both ends, the first mounting portion is fixed to the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11, and the second mounting portion is fixed to the bottom wall 112 of the mounting groove 11. The side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11 can be a crossbeam of the vehicle.

[0112] The two ends of the bracket 30 along the first direction are respectively the first part 3 and the third part 5. The first part 3 has a first mounting portion, and the first part 3 can be fixed to the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11. The first mounting portion can be welded to the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11, and can also be installed to the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11 using fasteners; the third part 5 has a second mounting portion, and the third part 5 can be fixed to the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11. The second mounting portion can be welded to the bottom wall 112 of the mounting groove 11, and can also be installed to the bottom wall 112 of the mounting groove 11 using fasteners.

[0113] For example, the third portion 5 includes a second leg 512 , the second leg 512 has a second mounting portion, the second mounting portion may include a first mounting hole 5121 , and the second leg 512 may abut against the bottom wall 112 of the mounting groove 11 .

[0114] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 14-17 The first part 3 includes a first plate body 34 and a second plate body 35. The first plate body 34 is connected between the second plate body 35 and the first part 3. A fourth angle is formed between the first plate body 34 and the second plate body 35 to form a fourth bend 64 between the first plate body 34 and the second plate body 35. The bracket 30 is suitable for bending and deforming along the fourth bend 64. The second plate body 35 has a first mounting portion, and the second plate body 35 abuts against the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11.

[0115] When the vehicle is hit and the impact force is transmitted to the third part 5 of the bracket 30, the bracket 30 can be deformed along the fourth bend 64 and the second bend 62, and the bracket 30 can arch toward one side of the second direction. When the bracket 30 continues to be hit and squeezed, the third part 5 is pressurized toward the second part 4, and the third part 5 is bent and deformed along the second bend 62, and the rear part of the part to be protected 20 is lifted through this deformed state; when the bracket 30 continues to be hit and squeezed, the second part 4 is pressurized toward the first part 3, and the first part 3 is bent and deformed along the first bend 61, and the front part of the part to be protected 20 is lifted through this deformed state to change the position of the part to be protected 20, thereby preventing the impact force or structural parts from continuing to act on the part to be protected 20, thereby improving the safety of the part to be protected 20 and thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.

[0116] For example, the second plate 35 has a third mounting hole 351, and the vehicle body has a fourth mounting hole. The number of the third mounting holes 351 is equal to the number of the fourth mounting holes and corresponds one to one. Fasteners can be used to pass through the third mounting holes 351 and the fourth mounting holes to detachably connect the bracket 30 to the vehicle body 10.

[0117] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 9 In the first direction, the length of the first plate 34 is E, and in the second direction, the distance from the fourth angle to the opening of the mounting groove 11 is F, satisfying: E>F. When the vehicle is hit, the bracket 30 can arch toward one side in the second direction, and the length of the first plate 34 is greater than the distance from the fourth angle to the opening of the mounting groove 11, so that when the bracket 30 is bent, the bracket 30 can bend out of the mounting groove 11 from the opening of the mounting groove 11, thereby preventing the protected component 20 from being excessively squeezed.

[0118] For example, the length of the first plate 34 can be 65 mm, and the length of the first leg 511 in the first direction can be 48 mm, which is smaller than the length of the first plate 34. The length of the second portion 4 in the first direction and the length in the second direction can be designed according to the size of the component 20 to be protected. The length of the second portion 4 in the first direction can be 284 mm, and the length in the second direction can be 225 mm.

[0119] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 9In the first direction, the length of the first plate 34 is E, and in the second direction, the distance from the fourth angle to the opening of the mounting groove 11 is F, satisfying: EF ≥ 10 mm. The length of the first plate 34 is much larger than the distance from the fourth angle to the opening of the mounting groove 11, so that when the bracket 30 is bent, it can be ensured that the bracket 30 is bent out of the mounting groove 11 from the opening of the mounting groove 11, thereby preventing the protected component 20 from being excessively squeezed.

[0120] For example, the length of the first plate 34 may be greater than 10 mm, 11 mm, or 12 mm of the distance from the fourth angle to the opening of the mounting slot 11 .

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6-Figure 9 The fourth angle between the first plate 34 and the second plate 35 is D, which satisfies: 88°≤D≤94°. The fourth angle between the first plate 34 and the second plate 35 is small, the slope of the first plate 34 is relatively gentle, and the second plate 35 is almost perpendicular to the first plate 34. The second plate 35 abuts against the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11, which can facilitate the installation of the second plate 35 and the mounting groove 11.

[0122] For example, the fourth angle between the first plate 34 and the second plate 35 is 88°, 90°, 91° or 94°, etc. Preferably, the angle between the first part 3 and the second part 4 is 94°.

[0123] Please refer to the attached Figure 18 -Attached Figure 23 The following describes the deformation process between the bracket 30 and the component to be protected 20 when the vehicle is hit by a collision.

[0124] Attachment Figure 18 The figure shows the initial state of the collision, where the rear bumper and tailgate are deformed by the impact force;

[0125] Attachment Figure 19 As shown, when the collision continues, the leg 51 will first deform along the original bending trend of the fourth bend 64 and the second bend 62 when it is subjected to the impact force, and the tail of the to-be-protected member 20 will be lifted through this deformation state;

[0126] Attachment Figure 20 As shown, as the collision process proceeds, because the third bend 63 and the first bend 61 of the bracket 30 are both set with unique bending angles, and the structure of the front end of the bracket 30 is strengthened, the bracket 30 is supported by the rear impact force, and the first part 3 of the bracket 30 will be folded counterclockwise around the first bend 61 and the third bend 63, so that the protected part 20 shows an upward movement trend.

[0127] Attachment Figure 21As shown, as the collision process proceeds, the first plate 34 of the bracket 30 overlaps the side wall 111 of the installation groove 11 and continues to support the component to be protected 20 upward.

[0128] Attachment Figure 22 As shown, as the collision process progresses, the length design of the first plate 34 of the bracket 30 ensures that the Z-direction height of the front part of the protected part 20 is higher than the height of the vehicle's mounting groove 11 after the first plate 34 performs extreme rotation, thereby avoiding the side walls 111 of the mounting groove 11 and other structural parts (such as the seat slide rail mounting point) from squeezing the protected part 20.

[0129] Attachment Figure 23 As shown, as the collision process proceeds, the front mounting point of the protected member 20 and the bracket 30 will be pulled apart by the bracket 30 , so that the protected member 20 will be ejected from the mounting slot 11 along the existing movement trend to avoid excessive squeezing.

[0130] When the vehicle is hit from behind, the bracket 30 actively pops the part to be protected 20 out of the deep pit of the trunk 1, reducing the high-voltage safety risk. The extrusion pressure of the part to be protected 20 is reduced from 70kN to 25kN, and the extrusion position assessment has no short-circuit fire risk; the final result of the collision shows that the extrusion pressure on the part to be protected 20 is greatly reduced, and the upper and lower cover plates of the part to be protected 20 are only slightly extruded and deformed, meeting the 80km / h collision safety standard.
