The change or adjustment of their relative relationships, without substantial change in the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope that the present utility model can be implemented.

[0025] In order to be able to describe the present utility model in detail, first, the installation structure for the steering support, the steering support assembly, and the vehicle of the present utility model will be specifically described next.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides an installation structure for a steering support, including a connection plate 1 and a reinforcement assembly 2 connected to the connection plate 1. The connection plate 1 is provided with a first connection hole 11 for connecting to the steering support 3. The steering support 3 and the connection plate 1 are connected by welding. In order to increase the contact area between the steering support 3 and the connection plate 1 so that the strength after welding between the steering support 3 and the connection plate 1 is more firm, the first connection hole 11 is a flanged hole, and the first connection hole 11 is folded towards the side of the side wall panel 4.

[0027] The connecting plate 1 includes a main body 16 and a first flap 12 that is foldably arranged with respect to the main body 16. The first connecting hole 11 is arranged within the main body 16. The first flap 12 is located on the side away from the reinforcing assembly 2. After the first flap 12 is folded, it is connected to the edge of the side wall panel 4. The first flap 12 not only enables the connecting plate 1 to be effectively connected to the side wall panel 4, but also strengthens the strength of the connecting plate 1 and increases the contact area between the connecting plate 1 and the side wall panel 4. Although the contact area between the connecting plate 1 and the side wall panel 4 in the width direction of the side wall panel 4 decreases, it is compensated by arranging the first flap 12. Ears are respectively arranged at both ends of the first flap 12, and second connecting holes 14 for connecting to the side wall panel 4 are arranged on the ears.

[0028] To increase the strength of the connecting plate 1, the mounting structure is also provided with a reinforcing assembly 2. The reinforcing assembly 2 is connected to the side wall panel 4 and is also arranged along the length direction of the side wall panel 4 in the same way as the connecting plate 1. To make the connection between the connecting plate 1 and the reinforcing assembly 2 more firm, a second flap 13 is arranged on the side of the main body 16 close to the reinforcing assembly 2. The folding direction of the second flap 13 is opposite to that of the first flap 12. An L shape is formed between the first flap 12 and the main body 16, and a reverse L shape is formed between the second flap 13 and the main body 16. Therefore, the connecting plate 1 as a whole forms a Z shape.

[0029] The reinforcing assembly 2 includes a first reinforcing member 21 and a second reinforcing member 22 connected to the first reinforcing member 21. After the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22 are connected to the side wall panel 4, a hollow cavity is formed. A number of second connecting holes 14 for connecting to the side wall panel 4 are also arranged on the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22. In this embodiment, two second connecting holes 14 are respectively arranged on both the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22.

[0030] A third connecting hole 212 for connecting to the second flap 13 is arranged on the first reinforcing member 21. A first positioning hole 15 is arranged on the connecting plate 1, and a second positioning hole 211 corresponding to the first positioning hole 15 is arranged on the reinforcing assembly 2. In this embodiment, a groove facing the second reinforcing member 22 is arranged in the middle of the first reinforcing member 21. A protrusion is arranged on the second flap 13 corresponding to the groove, and the protrusion faces the side of the first reinforcing member 21. In this way, the first positioning hole 15 is located at the protrusion, and the second positioning hole 211 is located within the groove. In this way, a positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole 15 and the second positioning hole 211, and there is a certain gap between the positioning pin and the steering support 3, without interference. A third positioning hole is arranged on the second reinforcing member 22 corresponding to the second positioning hole 211, which facilitates the positioning pin to pass through for positioning.

[0031] Among them, the second positioning hole 211 is a flanging hole, and the flanging of the second positioning hole 211 extends toward the side away from the connecting plate 1. This is equivalent to setting a reinforcing rib at the second positioning hole 211 for the first reinforcing member 21, increasing the strength of the first reinforcing member 21.

[0032] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a first flanging 213 is provided on the side surface of the first reinforcing member 21, and a second flanging 214 is provided at the bottom of the first reinforcing member 21. The first flanging 213 extends outward to both sides of the first reinforcing member 21, the second flanging 214 is folded toward the side away from the second reinforcing member 22, and a first overlapping edge 215 is provided at the top of the first reinforcing member 21. A third flanging 221 is provided on the side surface of the second reinforcing member 22, the third flanging 221 extends outward to both sides of the second reinforcing member 22, a fourth flanging 222 is provided at the bottom of the second reinforcing member 22, the fourth flanging 222 is folded toward the side away from the first reinforcing member 21, and the first flanging 213 is connected to the third flanging 221. A second overlapping edge 223 is provided at the top of the second reinforcing member 22. The first overlapping edge 215 is overlapped and connected with the second overlapping edge 223. The first overlapping edge 215 is located above the second overlapping edge 223 or the first overlapping edge 215 is located below the second overlapping edge 223, and then the first overlapping edge 215 and the second overlapping edge 223 are connected by welding.

[0033] The second flanging 214 and the fourth flanging 222 are in surface contact with the side wall panel 4. The second connection holes 14 on the reinforcing assembly 2 are provided at the four corners of the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22. The reinforcing assembly 2 is formed by stamping. Since the height of the reinforcing assembly 2 after stamping is relatively high, the reinforcing assembly 2 does not adopt integral stamping but a split type. In this way, the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22 are respectively stamped, reducing the processing difficulty. For the convenience of stamping, there is a certain gap between the first flanging 213 on both sides of the first reinforcing member 21 and the first overlapping edge 215, and there is a certain gap between the third flanging 221 on both sides of the second reinforcing member 22 and the second overlapping edge 223. Therefore, openings are formed at both ends after the combination of the first reinforcing member 21 and the second reinforcing member 22.

[0034] To increase the strength of the reinforcing assembly 2, a number of reinforcing ribs are provided on the reinforcing assembly 2, and the reinforcing ribs are arranged along the width direction of the side wall panel 4.

[0035] The connecting plate 1 and the strengthening component 2 of the present application are both connected to the side wall panel 4 along the length direction of the side wall panel 4. It is equivalent to rotating the original direction of the connecting plate 1 by 90° and then connecting it to the side wall panel 4. The first flap 11 is provided on the connecting plate 1 to make the connection between the connecting plate 1 and the side wall panel 4 firmer, and the strengthening component 2 is provided to support the connecting plate 1, so that the connection strength of the connecting plate 1 is better.

[0036] On the other hand, the present application also provides a steering support assembly, including a steering support 3, a side wall panel 4, and the above installation structure for the steering support. The connecting plate 1 and the strengthening component 2 are connected to the side wall panel 4 along the length direction of the side wall panel 4.

[0037] On the other hand, the present application also provides a vehicle, including the above steering support assembly.

[0038] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
