Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive mounting structure technology, specifically to an adjustable connecting bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the automobile manufacturing and assembly process, the assembly quality of large exterior components such as sunshades and decorative covers with the vehicle body frame structure directly affects the vehicle's appearance, body sealing, and driving experience, and is a key aspect of overall vehicle assembly quality control.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of the vehicle body frame, dimensional deviations such as tolerance accumulation and connection point positional errors are prone to occur. Currently used mounting brackets are mostly fixed, rigid structures lacking dimensional adjustment capabilities and unable to adaptively compensate for tolerances and connection point positional deviations arising from the vehicle body frame manufacturing. Consequently, large exterior components such as sunshades and decorative covers are highly susceptible to assembly misalignment, poor sealing performance, and uneven gaps during actual assembly, severely impacting the driving experience and safety of passengers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of this application is to provide an adjustable connecting bracket to solve the problem that the fixed bracket in the prior art does not have the ability to adjust the size and cannot adaptively compensate for the tolerances and positional deviations of the connection points caused by the processing of the vehicle frame; the second objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: An adjustable connecting bracket is provided for connecting a first component and a second component. The adjustable connecting bracket includes a first adjustable component and a second adjustable component. The first adjustable component is connected to the first component and has a first adjustable mounting space with the first component in a first direction. Two second adjustable components are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first adjustable component. Each second adjustable component includes a first movable member and a second movable member that are rotatably connected. The first movable member is rotatably connected to the first adjustable component, and the second movable member is connected to the second component. The second movable member and the second component have a second adjustable mounting space in a second direction. The first direction is the connection direction between the first adjustable component and the second adjustable component, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0006] According to the aforementioned technical means, the first adjustable component can have a first adjustable installation space with the first part in a first direction, and the second adjustable component can have a second adjustable installation space with the second part in a second direction. This allows for flexible adjustment of the positions of the first and second parts in both directions, effectively compensating for dimensional tolerances and positional deviations. When the adjustable connecting bracket is used to connect the vehicle body frame to the vehicle's exterior parts, it effectively compensates for dimensional tolerances in the vehicle body frame during manufacturing and positional deviations at the connection points. This avoids problems such as difficulty in alignment, poor sealing performance, and uneven gaps in the appearance during connection, significantly improving the driving experience and safety for passengers. Furthermore, it can adapt to the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of different vehicle models, effectively enhancing the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket. Moreover, the installation process of this adjustable connecting bracket is simple and convenient, reducing the professional skills required of installers and significantly reducing installation time, thus improving ease of installation.

[0007] Furthermore, the second adjustable component includes a housing, which cooperates with the second component to form a mounting cavity, and the second movable member is movably disposed within the mounting cavity to perform telescopic movement within the mounting cavity at least after being subjected to force.

[0008] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the second movable part can perform telescopic movement in the mounting cavity after being subjected to force, thereby converting the dimensional tolerance of the first part and the second part in the second direction into the displacement of the second movable part in the first direction. This effectively absorbs and compensates for the dimensional tolerance of the first part and the second part in the second direction, avoiding problems such as inaccurate connection points and uneven connection gaps caused by dimensional tolerances, greatly reducing the difficulty of connection, and ensuring the connection accuracy and sealing effect of the first part and the second part.

[0009] Furthermore, the second movable member is connected to the second component via a second fastener, the second fastener being used to define the position of the second movable member within the mounting cavity.

[0010] According to the above technical means, the second fastener can reliably limit the second movable part after being locked, effectively avoiding the shaking, displacement and loosening of the second movable part during subsequent operation, and greatly improving the stability, reliability and safety of the second adjustable component structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing has a plug-in portion for inserting the second component, and the second adjustable component further includes a plug plate that plugs into the plug-in portion. The plug plate supports the second component, and the second fastener passes through the plug plate and the second component to connect with the second movable member.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the housing can first be inserted into the second component via the plug-in part to limit the housing in its width direction. Then, the insert plate can be inserted into the plug-in part to limit the housing in the second direction. Furthermore, a second fastener can be used to connect to the second movable part by passing through the insert plate and the second component in sequence. In this way, through multiple locking structures, the firmness of the connection between the housing and the second component can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the adjustable connection bracket during use.

[0013] Furthermore, the second adjustable component also includes an elastic element disposed within the mounting cavity, the elastic element being located between the housing and the second movable element, and the elastic element being used to apply a force to the second movable element to move it away from the mounting cavity.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the elastic element can apply a force to the second movable element to move it away from the mounting cavity, so as to interact with the transmission force formed by the action of the second component, so that the second movable element can achieve force balance, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the second movable element. In this way, the second dimensional tolerance and position deviation generated during the connection process can be accurately compensated, effectively solving the problems of inaccurate connection position and uneven gap, and ensuring the connection accuracy and connection effect between the components.

[0015] Furthermore, a second hole is formed on the insert plate, a third hole is formed on the second component, and the second fastener is sequentially inserted through the second hole and the third hole to connect with the second movable component. The second fastener has an installation gap with the second hole and the third hole respectively in the first direction.

[0016] According to the above technical means, the second fastener can have an installation gap with the second hole and the third hole respectively in the first direction. The installation gap can provide movement space for the second fastener, so that the second fastener can reciprocate along the first direction with the second movable part in the second hole and the third hole, effectively ensuring the smooth movement of the second movable part and improving the rationality of the structural layout of the second adjustable component.

[0017] Furthermore, the side of the mounting cavity facing the first adjustable component is configured as an open side, and a limiting part is provided on the open side. The limiting part is used to abut against the second movable member to limit the displacement of the second movable member in the direction away from the mounting cavity.

[0018] According to the above technical means, when the second movable part extends outward in the mounting cavity and moves a certain distance, the limiting part can abut against the second movable part to accurately limit the maximum extension distance of the second movable part. This can effectively avoid jamming or even disengagement caused by excessive stroke of the second movable part, ensuring that the second movable part can have a reasonable movement distance, and greatly improving the stability and service life of the second adjustable component.

[0019] Furthermore, a sliding portion is formed on the second movable member, the sliding portion being used to abut against the inner sidewall of the housing and the second component respectively.

[0020] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the sliding part formed on the second movable part can effectively reduce the contact area between the second movable part and the housing and the second component respectively, significantly reducing the frictional resistance experienced by the second movable part during movement, making the extension and retraction movement of the second movable part smoother, not only improving the movement efficiency of the second movable part, but also reducing the wear of the second movable part and extending the service life of the second movable part.

[0021] Furthermore, the second movable component has a hollow structure, and one side of the second movable component is open.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the second movable component with a hollow structure can, on the one hand, effectively improve its resistance to deformation, enhance its bending and torsional resistance, and avoid problems such as bending and deformation during reciprocating extension and retraction, thus effectively ensuring the structural stability of the second movable component. On the other hand, it can also significantly reduce the weight of the second movable component, not only reducing the frictional resistance during movement, making the extension and retraction action more flexible and smooth, but also reducing the overall weight of the second adjustable component, thereby ensuring the lightweight design of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0023] Furthermore, a first hole is formed on the first adjustable component, and the first adjustable component is connected to the first component through a first fastener passing through the first hole. The diameter of the first hole is larger than the radial dimension of the first fastener.

[0024] According to the above technical means, when the first fastener is inserted into the first hole, since the diameter of the first hole is larger than the radial dimension of the first fastener, the first fastener can adjust its positional relationship with the first hole in the first direction, thereby absorbing and compensating for the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of the first component and the second component in the first direction. When the adjustable connecting bracket is used to connect the vehicle body frame with the exterior parts of the vehicle, it can make the adjustable connecting bracket suitable for the dimensional tolerances of different vehicle models, effectively improving the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0025] Furthermore, the first movable component is plate-shaped, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the first adjustable component and the second movable component, respectively.

[0026] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the first movable part can be rotatably connected to the first adjustable component and the second movable part respectively, so that the above-mentioned components can rotate freely relative to each other, thereby meeting the adjustment needs of the adjustable connecting bracket for different dimensional tolerances and positional deviations, and further improving the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0027] A vehicle includes a sunshade assembly and an adjustable connecting bracket, the vehicle having a body frame, the sunshade assembly being connected to the body frame via the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the adjustable connecting bracket can effectively absorb and compensate for the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations between the bolt holes of the sunshade assembly and the bolt holes of the vehicle body frame, avoiding problems such as difficulty in connecting and aligning the sunshade assembly and the vehicle body frame, poor sealing performance, and uneven appearance fit gaps, thus significantly improving the driving experience and safety of passengers.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this application are: The first adjustable component has a first adjustable mounting space with the first part in a first direction, and the second adjustable component has a second adjustable mounting space with the second part in a second direction. This allows for flexible adjustment of the positions of the first and second parts in both directions, effectively compensating for dimensional tolerances and positional deviations. When the adjustable connecting bracket is used to connect the vehicle body frame to the vehicle's exterior parts, it effectively compensates for dimensional tolerances in the vehicle body frame during manufacturing and positional deviations at the connection points. This avoids problems such as difficulty in alignment, poor sealing performance, and uneven gaps in the fit during connection, significantly improving the driving experience and safety for passengers. It also adapts to the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of different vehicle models, effectively enhancing the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket. Furthermore, the installation process of this adjustable connecting bracket is simple and convenient, reducing the professional skills required for installers and significantly reducing installation time, thus improving ease of installation.

[0032] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0034] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0035] To address the issue that existing fixed supports lack dimensional adjustment capabilities, thus failing to adaptively compensate for tolerances and connection point position deviations arising from the machining of the vehicle body frame 7, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides an adjustable connecting bracket, which is used to connect the first component 5 and the second component 6. When the adjustable connecting bracket is applied to the connection of vehicle components, the first component 5 can be the vehicle body frame 7, and the second component 6 can be the vehicle exterior parts (e.g., sunshade assembly 8, decorative cover, etc.). The adjustable connecting bracket can be used to connect the vehicle body frame 7 and the vehicle exterior parts.

[0036] The aforementioned adjustable connecting bracket may include a first adjustable component 1 and a second adjustable component 2. The first adjustable component 1 may be connected to the first component 5, and the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5 have a first adjustable mounting space in a first direction. The first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5 may have an installation adjustment gap (i.e., the first adjustable mounting space) in the first direction, through which the positional relationship between the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5 in the first direction can be adjusted.

[0037] The aforementioned second adjustable components 2 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first adjustable component 1, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two second adjustable components 2 can be disposed on opposite sides of the first adjustable component 1. It is understood that if only a single second adjustable component 2 is used, the force generated when the second adjustable component 2 is connected to the second component 6 will be concentrated on one side of the first adjustable component 1. This may cause the first adjustable component 1 to deflect or tilt when subjected to force on one side, thus preventing the first adjustable component 1 from fitting tightly with the first component 5, thereby affecting the firmness and aesthetics of the connection between the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5.

[0038] The aforementioned second adjustable component 2 includes a first movable member 21 and a second movable member 22 rotatably connected. The first movable member 21 is rotatably connected to the first adjustable component 1, and the second movable member 22 is connected to the second component 6. The second movable member 22 and the second component 6 have a second adjustable mounting space in a second direction. The first direction is the connection direction between the first adjustable component 1 and the second adjustable component 2, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The aforementioned second movable member 22 may have an installation adjustment gap (i.e., a second adjustable mounting space) with the second component 6 in the second direction, through which the positional relationship between the second movable member 22 and the second component 6 in the second direction can be adjusted.

[0039] It is understood that when the adjustable connecting bracket is arranged in a horizontal direction, the first direction can be represented as the horizontal direction and the second direction can be represented as the vertical direction. The second movable part 22 can be used to adjust its relative position with the second component 6 in the second direction, while the first adjustable component 1 can be used to adjust its relative position with the first component 5 in the first direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the relative positions of the first component 5 and the second component 6 in the first and second directions.

[0040] The adjustable connecting bracket of this application has a first adjustable component 1 that has a first adjustable installation space with the first component 5 in a first direction, and a second adjustable component 2 that has a second adjustable installation space with the second component 6 in a second direction. This allows for flexible adjustment of the positions of the first component 5 and the second component 6 in both directions, effectively compensating for dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of the first component 5 and the second component 6. When the adjustable connecting bracket is used to connect the vehicle body frame 7 to the vehicle's exterior parts, it effectively compensates for dimensional tolerances of the vehicle body frame 7 during manufacturing and positional deviations of the connection points. This avoids problems such as difficulty in alignment, poor sealing performance, and uneven gaps in the appearance during connection, significantly improving the driving experience and safety for passengers. It also adapts to the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of different vehicle models, effectively enhancing the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket. Furthermore, the installation process of this adjustable connecting bracket is simple and convenient, reducing the professional skills required of installers and significantly reducing installation time, thus improving ease of installation.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second adjustable component 2 includes a housing 23, which cooperates with the second component 6 to form a mounting cavity 24. The second movable component 22 is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 24 so as to perform telescopic movement within the mounting cavity 24 at least after being subjected to force.

[0042] A hollow mounting cavity 24 can be formed within the aforementioned housing 23, allowing the second movable member 22 to extend and retract within the mounting cavity 24 after being subjected to force. Specifically, with Figure 6 and Figure 7 Taking the shown orientation as an example, when it is necessary to lower the height of the second adjustable component 2 in the second direction, the first movable member 21 can rotate counterclockwise around its rotating connection end with the first adjustable component 1, causing the second movable member 22 to retract within the mounting cavity 24. Conversely, when it is necessary to raise the height of the second adjustable component 2 in the second direction, the first movable member 21 can rotate clockwise around its rotating connection end with the first adjustable component 1, causing the second movable member 22 to extend within the mounting cavity 24.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the second movable member 22 can extend and retract within the mounting cavity 24 after being subjected to force, thereby converting the dimensional tolerance of the first component 5 and the second component 6 in the second direction into the displacement of the second movable member 22 in the first direction. This effectively absorbs and compensates for the dimensional tolerance of the first component 5 and the second component 6 in the second direction, avoiding problems such as inaccurate connection points and uneven connection gaps caused by dimensional tolerances. This greatly reduces the difficulty of connection and ensures the connection accuracy and sealing effect of the first component 5 and the second component 6.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the second movable member 22 is connected to the second component 6 via the second fastener 4, which is used to define the position of the second movable member 22 within the mounting cavity 24.

[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second fastener 4 can pass through the second component 6 and connect to the second movable component 22, and the second fastener 4 can move synchronously with the second movable component 22 within the mounting cavity 24. It is understood that during the position adjustment of the second movable component 22, the second fastener 4 and the second movable component 22 can be non-lockingly connected. After the position adjustment of the second movable component 22 is completed, the second fastener 4 can be locked so that it abuts against the second component 6, thereby locking the position of the second movable component 22. The second fastener 4 can specifically be a bolt or screw, etc., and this application does not specifically limit its application to this.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the second fastener 4 can reliably limit the second movable part 22 after being locked, effectively avoiding the shaking, displacement and loosening of the second movable part 22 during subsequent operation, and greatly improving the stability, reliability and safety of the structure of the second adjustable component 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, a plug portion 231 for inserting the second component 6 is formed on the housing 23. The second adjustable component 2 also includes a plug plate 25 that plugs into the plug portion 231. The plug plate 25 supports the second component 6. The second fastener 4 passes through the plug plate 25 and the second component 6 and is connected to the second movable member 22.

[0048] A plug-in portion 231 may be formed on the lower wall surface of the aforementioned housing 23. A first plug-in groove 232 may be formed on the side wall surface of the plug-in portion 231 along its length direction. A second plug-in groove 62 adapted to the plug-in portion 231 may be formed on the second component 6. When the plug-in portion 231 is plugged into the second plug-in groove 62 of the second component 6, the first plug-in groove 232 of the plug-in portion 231 may be exposed below the second component 6. At this time, the insert plate 25 may be plugged into the first plug-in groove 232, thereby forming a stable and firm connection between the housing 23 and the second component 6.

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the insert plate 25 is inserted into the first insertion slot 232, the insert plate 25 and the second component 6 can form a surface contact, and the second fastener 4 can pass through the insert plate 25 and the second component 6 and be connected to the second movable component 22.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, there can be two plug-in portions 231. The two plug-in portions 231 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 23. The second component 6 can be formed with a second plug-in groove 62 corresponding to the plug-in portions 231. By using two plug-in portions 231 that are symmetrically arranged and spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 23, a double-point limiting can be formed between the housing 23 and the second component 6, which significantly improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the housing 23 and the second component 6 and reduces the possibility of shaking or loosening between the housing 23 and the second component 6 during subsequent use.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the housing 23 can first be inserted into the second component 6 via the insertion part 231 to limit the housing 23 along its width direction. Then, the insertion plate 25 can be inserted into the insertion part 231 to limit the housing 23 in the second direction. Furthermore, the second fastener 4 can be connected to the second movable member 22 by passing through the insertion plate 25 and the second component 6 in sequence. In this way, through multiple locking structures, the firmness of the connection between the housing 23 and the second component 6 can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the adjustable connection bracket during use.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second adjustable component 2 also includes an elastic element 26 disposed in the mounting cavity 24. The elastic element 26 is located between the housing 23 and the second movable member 22, and the elastic element 26 is used to apply a force to the second movable member 22 to move it away from the mounting cavity 24.

[0053] One end of the aforementioned elastic element 26 can abut against the inner wall of the housing 23, and the other end of the elastic element 26 can abut against the second movable element 22. The aforementioned elastic element 26 can be a spring or elastic rubber, etc. Any component that can undergo elastic deformation after being subjected to force is within the scope of this application, and this application does not make specific limitations on it.

[0054] like Figure 6As shown, when the insertion portion 231 of the housing 23 is connected to the second component 6 using the insert plate 25, and the second fastener 4 is connected to the second movable component 22 through the insert plate 25 and the second component 6, the second fastener 4 and the second movable component 22 can be non-lockingly connected. The elastic member 26 can be in a stretched state and apply a force to the second movable component 22, so that the second movable component 22 can extend within the mounting cavity 24. The second component 6 can act on the insert plate 25 by its own weight, and this force is transmitted through the insert plate 25 to the housing 23 and the second movable component 22 inside the housing 23. Since the first adjustable component 1 is connected to the first component 5, the first movable component 21, which is rotatably connected to the second movable component 22, can rotate counterclockwise around its rotatable connection end with the first adjustable component 1 under the action of the above force, while driving the second movable component 22 to retract within the mounting cavity 24. At this time, the elastic member 26 is squeezed and in a compressed state. Figure 7 As shown, when the force applied by the elastic member 26 to the second movable member 22 is balanced with the transmission force generated by the action of the second component 6 on the second movable member 22, the second movable member 22 can be held in a stable position within the mounting cavity 24. Subsequently, the second fastener 4 can be locked, thereby locking the position of the second movable member 22. Furthermore, during the connection between the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5, the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5 can approach each other, allowing the first movable member 21 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the first adjustable component 1, which in turn can drive the second movable member 22 to retract within the mounting cavity 24.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the elastic member 26 can apply a force to the second movable member 22 to move it away from the mounting cavity 24, so as to interact with the transmission force formed by the action of the second component 6, so that the second movable member 22 can achieve force balance, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the second movable member 22. In this way, the second dimensional tolerance and position deviation generated during the connection process can be accurately compensated, effectively solving the problems of inaccurate connection position and uneven gap, and ensuring the connection accuracy and connection effect between the components.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second hole 251 is formed on the insert plate 25, a third hole 61 is formed on the second component 6, and a second fastener 4 is sequentially inserted through the second hole 251 and the third hole 61 to connect with the second movable component 22. The second fastener 4 has an installation gap with the second hole 251 and the third hole 61 in the first direction.

[0057] The second hole 251 and the third hole 61 can be elongated. The elongated second hole 251 can be formed on the insert plate 25 along the length of the housing 23, and the elongated third hole 61 can be formed on the second component 6 along the length of the housing 23. When the second fastener 4 is inserted into the second hole 251 and the third hole 61, a gap (i.e., an installation gap) can be formed between the second fastener 4 and the side wall of the second hole 251 and the side wall of the third hole 61, respectively.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the second fastener 4 can have an installation gap with the second hole 251 and the third hole 61 respectively in the first direction. The installation gap can provide movement space for the second fastener 4, so that the second fastener 4 can reciprocate along the first direction with the second movable member 22 in the second hole 251 and the third hole 61, effectively ensuring the smooth movement of the second movable member 22 and improving the rationality of the structural layout of the second adjustable component 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the side of the mounting cavity 24 facing the first adjustable component 1 is configured as an open side, and a limiting part 241 is provided on the open side. The limiting part 241 is used to abut against the second movable member 22 to limit the displacement of the second movable member 22 in the direction away from the mounting cavity 24.

[0060] The aforementioned limiting part 241 can be disposed on the inner sidewall of the housing 23 and located on the open side of the mounting cavity 24. The limiting part 241 and the housing 23 can be detachably connected or integrally formed. The detachable connection can include plug-in connection or adhesive connection, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application. Preferably, the limiting part 241 and the housing 23 can be integrally formed, and the integrally formed limiting part 241 and the housing 23 can have strong structural strength.

[0061] The wall surface of the limiting part 241 that abuts against the second movable member 22 can be a slope. Compared with a sharp corner structure, the slope can disperse the contact stress between the limiting part 241 and the second movable member 22, and avoid the limiting part 241 causing local compression or impact to the second movable member 22, which would lead to deformation or damage to the second movable member 22, thus effectively improving the service life of the second movable member 22.

[0062] In the above embodiment, when the second movable member 22 extends outward and moves a certain distance within the mounting cavity 24, the limiting part 241 can abut against the second movable member 22 to precisely limit the maximum extension distance of the second movable member 22. This can effectively prevent jamming or even disengagement caused by excessive stroke of the second movable member 22, ensuring that the second movable member 22 can have a reasonable movement distance, and greatly improving the stability and service life of the second adjustable component 2.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a sliding portion 221 is formed on the second movable member 22, which is used to abut against the inner sidewall of the housing 23 and the second component 6 respectively.

[0064] The upper and lower walls of the second movable member 22 can protrude outwards to form arc-shaped sliding portions 221. When the second movable member 22 extends or retracts within the mounting cavity 24, the arc-shaped sliding portions 221 can abut against the inner wall of the housing 23 and the second component 6, respectively, thereby reducing the contact area between the second movable member 22 and the housing 23 and the second component 6, thus reducing the frictional resistance experienced by the second movable member 22 and improving the movement efficiency of the second movable member 22. It is understood that the number of sliding portions 221 can be arbitrary, such as 2, 3, or 4, and those skilled in the art can make a reasonable selection according to actual use.

[0065] It is understandable that the limiting part 241 can also be used to abut against the sliding part 221 on the second movable member 22 near the open side, so as to limit the maximum extension distance of the second movable member 22.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the second movable member 22 may also be provided with rolling balls, which can convert the sliding friction of the second movable member 22 into rolling friction, so as to further reduce the motion resistance of the second movable member 22.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the sliding portion 221 formed on the second movable member 22 can effectively reduce the contact area between the second movable member 22 and the housing 23 and the second component 6, respectively, and significantly reduce the frictional resistance experienced by the second movable member 22 during movement, making the extension and retraction movement of the second movable member 22 smoother. This not only improves the movement efficiency of the second movable member 22, but also reduces the wear of the second movable member 22 and extends its service life.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second movable member 22 has a hollow structure, and one side of the second movable member 22 is open.

[0069] In the above embodiments, the second movable member 22 with a hollow structure can, on the one hand, effectively improve its resistance to deformation, enhance its bending and torsional resistance, and avoid problems such as bending and deformation during reciprocating extension and retraction, thus effectively ensuring the structural stability of the second movable member 22. On the other hand, it can also significantly reduce the weight of the second movable member 22, not only reducing the frictional resistance of the second movable member 22 during movement, making the extension and retraction action more flexible and smooth, but also reducing the overall weight of the second adjustable component 2, thereby ensuring the lightweight design of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first hole 11 is formed on the first adjustable component 1. The first adjustable component 1 is connected to the first component 5 through a first fastener 3 that passes through the first hole 11. The diameter of the first hole 11 is larger than the radial dimension of the first fastener 3.

[0071] The first adjustable component 1 can be plate-shaped, and a first hole 11 can be formed on the plate-shaped first adjustable component 1. The first hole 11 can be circular in shape. The first fastener 3 can be sequentially inserted into the first hole 11 and the first component 5, thereby connecting the first adjustable component 1 and the first component 5 using the first fastener 3. The first fastener 3 can specifically be a bolt or screw, etc., and this application does not specifically limit it.

[0072] The following explains how to use the adjustable connection bracket: First, after adjusting the first adjustable mounting space between the first adjustable component 1 and the first part 5 in the first direction, the first adjustable component 1 and the first part 5 can be connected using the first fastener 3. Then, the insertion part 231 on the housing 23 can be inserted into the second part 6, and the housing 23 and the second part 6 can be connected using the insert plate 25. Finally, the second fastener 4 can be sequentially inserted through the insert plate 25 and the second part 6 and connected to the second movable member 22. After adjusting the second adjustable mounting space between the second movable member 22 and the second part 6 in the second direction, the second fastener 4 can be locked.

[0073] In the above embodiment, when the first fastener 3 is inserted into the first hole 11, since the diameter of the first hole 11 is larger than the radial dimension of the first fastener 3, the first fastener 3 can adjust its positional relationship with the first hole 11 in the first direction, thereby absorbing and compensating for the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations of the first component 5 and the second component 6 in the first direction. When the adjustable connecting bracket is used to connect the body frame 7 to the exterior parts of the vehicle, the adjustable connecting bracket can be adapted to the dimensional tolerances of different vehicle models, effectively improving the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first movable member 21 is plate-shaped, and the two ends of the length of the plate-shaped first movable member 21 are rotatably connected to the first adjustable component 1 and the second movable member 22, respectively.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, a first pin hole 222 can be formed on one of the second movable member 22 and the first movable member 21, and a second pin hole 223 can be formed on the other. After aligning the first pin hole 222 and the second pin hole 223 along their axial direction, a pin 224 can be sequentially passed through the first pin hole 222 and the second pin hole 223 to achieve a rotatable connection between the first movable member 21 and the second movable member 22. It is understood that the rotatable connection between the first movable member 21 and the first adjustable component 1 can also be achieved through the above structure, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0076] In the above embodiments, the first movable member 21 can be rotatably connected to the first adjustable component 1 and the second movable member 22 respectively, so that the above components can rotate freely relative to each other, thereby meeting the adjustment needs of the adjustable connecting bracket for different dimensional tolerances and positional deviations, and further improving the practicality and applicability of the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0077] This application also provides a vehicle, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle includes a sunshade assembly 8 and an adjustable connecting bracket as described above. The vehicle has a body frame 7, and the sunshade assembly 8 is connected to the body frame 7 via the adjustable connecting bracket.

[0078] like Figure 8As shown, the vehicle frame 7 may include a front roof crossbeam 71, a right side panel assembly 72, a rear roof crossbeam 73, and a left side panel assembly 74. The front roof crossbeam 71, the right side panel assembly 72, the rear roof crossbeam 73, and the left side panel assembly 74 may each be provided with bolt holes for connection to the first adjustable component 1, while the sunshade assembly 8 may be provided with bolt holes for connection to the second adjustable component 2 at intervals along its circumferential direction.

[0079] The vehicle described in this application has an adjustable connecting bracket that can effectively absorb and compensate for the dimensional tolerances and positional deviations between the bolt holes of the sunshade assembly 8 and the bolt holes of the body frame 7. This avoids problems such as difficulty in connecting and aligning the sunshade assembly 8 and the body frame 7, poor sealing performance, and uneven appearance fit gaps, significantly improving the driving experience and safety of passengers.
