[0033] At present, the spare tire of a vehicle is usually installed at the bottom of the frame, and the spare tire is connected to the frame through the spare tire beam and the spare tire bracket. Therefore, the strength and fatigue performance of the spare tire beam bracket play a vital role in the safety of the spare tire beam. During the use of the vehicle, the spare tire beam bracket mainly bears the Z-direction load and has a tendency to move up and down. When the vehicle is driven on a bumpy road for a long time, the spare tire beam bracket is prone to cracking after bearing the Z-direction load.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the spare tire beam support assembly 10 can be on the vehicle body 20, and the spare tire beam support assembly 10 is used to install the spare tire, which is usually installed at the bottom of the spare tire beam support assembly 10. Therefore, the spare tire beam support assembly 10 needs to bear the load in the height direction. The height direction referred to herein can be the Z direction of the vehicle, the length direction can be the X direction of the vehicle, and the width direction can be the Y direction of the vehicle.

[0035] The spare tire beam bracket assembly 10 may include a support plate 11 and a snap-fit ​​plate 12, the support plate 11 can be connected to the vehicle body 20, the vehicle body 20 can be a sheet metal or longitudinal beam of the vehicle, the snap-fit ​​plate 12 can be snapped and connected to the support plate 11, the snap-fit ​​plate 12 and at least part of the support plate 11 are spaced apart to form a cavity, and the rigidity performance of the snap-fit ​​plate 12 and the support plate 11 can be improved by providing a cavity structure, wherein the snap-fit ​​plate 12 is formed with a connecting edge toward the vehicle body 20, at least part of the connecting edge can be extended in the height direction, the snap-fit ​​plate 12 can be fixed to the vehicle body 20 by welding at the connecting edge, it can be understood that during the welding process, the connecting edge is first aligned with the vehicle body 20 and then welded by a welding gun, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 12 is welded and fixed to the vehicle body 20. Since the spare tire beam support assembly 10 needs to bear the load in the height direction, the extension of the connecting edge in the height direction can make the connection strength between the spare tire beam support assembly 10 and the vehicle body 20 in the height direction higher, increase the load-bearing performance of the spare tire beam support assembly 10 and the vehicle body 20 in the height direction, and avoid the problem of cracking of the spare tire beam support assembly 10 when loaded.
