[0010] The second sleeve is a hollow sleeve, and a baffle is provided at one end of the second sleeve close to the first sub-shock-absorbing pad to compress the shock-absorbing pad.

[0011] Furthermore, the first shock-absorbing pad mounting through hole and the second shock-absorbing pad mounting through hole are both configured as closed circular holes, so that the shock-absorbing pad can be compressed more evenly.

[0012] Furthermore, the third shock-absorbing pad mounting hole is a semi-closed circular hole, and a flip-hole structure is provided on one side of the third shock-absorbing pad mounting hole. The second sub-shock-absorbing pad is arranged on the side with the flip-hole structure, and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad has an annular groove matching the flip-hole structure so as to be sleeved on the flip-hole structure, thereby increasing the contact area between the third shock-absorbing pad mounting hole and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad.

[0028] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5 , is a mounting and shock absorbing structure for an automotive thermal management integrated module, comprising a sheet metal mounting bracket 1 fixedly connected to the automotive thermal management integrated module, a first shock absorbing pad mounting through hole K1 and a second shock absorbing pad mounting through hole K2 arranged in a vertical direction are provided on the upper side of the sheet metal mounting bracket 1, and a third shock absorbing pad mounting through hole K3 arranged in a front-to-rear direction is provided on the lower side of the sheet metal mounting bracket 1 to serve as a vehicle mounting point;

[0029] The first shock-absorbing pad installation hole K1 and the second shock-absorbing pad installation hole K2 are both set as closed circular holes, and a shock-absorbing pad 2 is arranged in the closed circular hole, and a first nut sleeve 3 is arranged in the shock-absorbing pad 2 and axially penetrates the shock-absorbing pad 2, and the first sleeve 3 is inserted into the shock-absorbing pad 2 from bottom to top, and the first sleeve 3 is a hollow sleeve, and a thread is arranged in the inner cavity of the first sleeve 3 to facilitate the connection of the vehicle bolts, and the lower end of the first sleeve 3 also has a baffle to compress the shock-absorbing pad;

[0030] The third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3 is a semi-closed circular hole, and a first sub-shock-absorbing pad 5 and a second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3, and a second shaft sleeve 4 is provided in the third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3, which penetrates the first sub-shock-absorbing pad 5 and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6 in the axial direction, so as to fix the first sub-shock-absorbing pad 5 and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6 in the third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3;

[0031] A hole-turning structure is provided on one side of the third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3, and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6 is arranged on the side with the hole-turning structure, and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6 has an annular groove matching the hole-turning structure, so as to be sleeved on the hole-turning structure, thereby increasing the contact area between the third shock-absorbing pad installation hole K3 and the second sub-shock-absorbing pad 6, so as to improve reliability and durability;

[0032] The second sleeve 4 is a hollow sleeve, and a baffle is provided at one end of the second sleeve 4 close to the first sub-shock-absorbing pad 5 to compress the first sub-shock-absorbing pad 5 .

[0033] Specifically, the sheet metal mounting bracket 1 is a square frame and is fixedly connected to the automobile thermal management integrated module by bolts, serving as a connection structure between the automobile thermal management integrated module and the entire vehicle. Thus, the automobile thermal management integrated module is fixedly installed on the entire vehicle through the connection between the sheet metal mounting bracket 1 and the entire vehicle.

[0034] In another embodiment, a reserved mounting hole (not shown) is further provided at a corner of the lower side of the sheet metal mounting bracket 1 away from the third shock-absorbing pad mounting hole K3 to meet the installation requirements of other vehicle models on the platform (right-hand drive vehicles, etc.); the sheet metal mounting bracket 1 can also be set to other special-shaped structures to adapt to different installation positions and vehicle structure.

[0035] The above-mentioned installation and shock-absorbing structure for the automotive thermal management integrated module can be used to connect and assemble the two upper vehicle installation points during vehicle assembly.
