[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] In the prior art, referring to Figure 1 , the tower package 1 and the support 2 are locked and connected by screws. The screws are vertically installed on the upper surface of the tower package 1. Therefore, when installing and disassembling the screws, operations need to be carried out in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the tower package 1. This also causes difficulties in disassembling the screws when an object is placed on the upper surface of the tower package 1 and the support 2 and the tower package 1 need to be separated. Especially when the interval between the object and the top of the tower package is narrow, the difficulty of disassembling the support and the tower package will increase. Therefore, the present application proposes the following technical solutions to solve the above problems.

[0024] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the support installation mechanism 100 includes a tower package 1, a support 2, and a locking member 3.

[0025] The tower package 1 has a hollow tower-shaped structure and is provided with a receiving space. The tower package 1 includes a tower top 11 and a support side wall 12 that supports and is connected to the tower top 11.

[0026] Specifically, the tower package 1 is used to connect the shock absorber, and the supporting side wall 12 serves as a supporting structure to support the tower package 1. In addition, the supporting side wall 12 also serves as a connecting structure. When the tower package 1 is connected to other components of the vehicle body, it is connected to other components of the vehicle body through the supporting side wall 12, thereby fixing the tower package 1 on the vehicle body. When specifically preparing the top of the tower 11 and the supporting side wall 12, the top of the tower 11 and the supporting side wall 12 are prepared by integral casting. That is, when the tower package 1 is prepared, it is integrally cast. In the embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of description, each part of the tower package 1 is divided into the top of the tower 11 and the supporting side wall 12 according to its function, but in the actual product, the top of the tower 11 and the supporting side wall 12 are an integral structure. When specifically preparing, the top of the tower 11 and the supporting side wall 12 can be cast from aluminum to reduce the weight of the overall casting through aluminum.

[0027] Among them, the top of the tower 11 is provided with an installation through hole 13 communicating with the accommodation space, and a first protrusion 14 protrudes from the outer surface of the top of the tower 11 facing away from the accommodation space. The first protrusion 14 is provided with a first installation hole 15. The strut 2 is arranged in the hollow space of the tower package 1. At least part of the first end 21 of the strut 2 is exposed in the installation through hole 13, and a second protrusion 22 located outside the accommodation space protrudes from the part of the first end 21 exposed in the installation through hole 13. The second protrusion 22 is provided with a second installation hole 221. The hole depth directions of the first installation hole 15 and the second installation hole 221 are both parallel to the top of the tower 11.

[0028] Specifically, at least part of the first end 21 of the strut 2 passes through the installation through hole 13 of the top of the tower 11. The outer surface of the top of the tower 11 is provided with a first protrusion 14, and the first end 21 of the strut 2 is provided with a second protrusion 22. The hole depth direction of the second installation hole 221 on the second protrusion 22 is the same as that of the first installation hole 15 on the first protrusion 14, and at the same time, the hole depth directions of both are in the direction parallel to the top of the tower 11, which is convenient for installing and fixing the strut 2 and the top of the tower 11.

[0029] The locking member 3 passes through the first installation hole 15 and the second installation hole 221 to lock the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22.

[0030] Specifically, the locking member 3 passes through the first installation hole 15 and the second installation hole 221 along the hole depth direction to lock and fix the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22, thereby locking and fixing the strut 2 and the tower package 1.

[0031] On the outer surface of the tower package 1 in this application, there is a first protrusion 14. On the first end 21 of the support column 2, there is a second protrusion 22. The depth direction of the second mounting hole 221 on the second protrusion 22 is the same as that of the first mounting hole 15 on the first protrusion 14, both along the direction of the tower top 11. The locking member 3 locks and fixes the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22 along the direction parallel to the tower top 11, thereby fixedly connecting the tower package 1 and the support column 2. Compared with the prior art where locking is performed along the direction perpendicular to the tower top 11, when there is a head-up display bracket 42 at the top of the tower package 1, locking along the direction parallel to the tower top 11 in this application is more convenient for the installation and disassembly of the tower package 1 and the support column 2.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, two first protrusions 14 protrude from the outer surface of the tower top 11 facing away from the accommodation space. The first end 21 of the support column 2 is provided with two second protrusions 22. The number of locking members 3 is two. The two locking members 3, the two first protrusions 14, and the two second protrusions 22 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the locking member 3 locks the corresponding first protrusion 14 and second protrusion 22.

[0033] Specifically, the two groups of locking members 3 pass through the first mounting holes 15 of the corresponding first protrusions 14 and the second mounting holes 221 of the second protrusions 22 and are fixed along the direction parallel to the tower top 11, forming two groups of locking structures, which strengthen the connection strength between the support column 2 and the tower package 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the depth directions of the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 221 in each group of locking structures are the same, and the depth direction of the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 221 is used as the depth direction of the group of locking structures. The depth directions of the two groups of locking structures can be the same, that is, the depth directions of the two groups of locking structures are along the same direction, or they can be different, that is, the depth directions of the two groups of locking structures are along two directions, but the depth directions are still parallel to the tower top 11.

[0035] In an embodiment, the connection line between the centers of the two first protrusions 14 passes through the center of the mounting through hole 13, that is, the two first protrusions 14 are arranged along the center line of the mounting through hole 13. It can also be understood that the included angle formed between the connection lines between the two first protrusions 14 and the center of the mounting through hole 13 is equal to 180°. Correspondingly, the connection line between the centers of the two second protrusions 22 also passes through the center of the mounting through hole 13. This setting makes the force between the locking member 3, the support column 2, and the tower package 1 uniform, and improves the connection strength between the support column 2 and the tower package 1.

[0036] Of course, in other embodiments, the line connecting the centers of the two first protrusions 14 may not pass through the center of the mounting through-hole 13. Correspondingly, the line connecting the centers of the two second protrusions 22 may not pass through the center of the mounting through-hole 13, facilitating adaptation to different application scenarios. For example, the included angle between the line connecting the two first protrusions 14 and the center of the mounting through-hole 13 is equal to 90°.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the first protrusion 14 includes a first sub-protrusion 141 and a second sub-protrusion 142 arranged at intervals. The first mounting hole 15 includes a first sub-mounting hole 151 provided on the first sub-protrusion 141 and a second sub-mounting hole 152 provided on the second sub-protrusion 142. The second protrusion 22 is located between the first sub-protrusion 141 and the second sub-protrusion 142, so that the locking member 3 sequentially passes through the first sub-protrusion 141, the second protrusion 22, and the second sub-protrusion 142 to lock the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22.

[0038] Specifically, the first sub-mounting hole 151 is provided on the first sub-protrusion 141 of the tower top 11, and the second sub-mounting hole 152 is provided on the second sub-protrusion 142. The second protrusion 22 at the first end 21 of the support column 2 is located between the first sub-protrusion 141 and the second sub-protrusion 142. The hole depth directions of the second mounting hole 221, the first sub-mounting hole 151, and the second sub-mounting hole 152 are along the same direction. The locking member 3 can then pass through the first sub-protrusion 141, the second protrusion 22, and the second sub-protrusion 142 along this hole depth direction, enabling the locking member 3 to lock the support column 2 and the tower package 1, enhancing the connection strength between the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, only the first sub-protrusion 141 or the second sub-protrusion 142 may be provided, that is, the locking member 3 sequentially passes through the first sub-protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 22 to lock the support column 2 and the tower package 1, or the locking member 3 sequentially passes through the second protrusion 22 and the second sub-protrusion 142 to lock the support column 2 and the tower package 1.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the range of the spacing distance between the first sub-protrusion 141 and the second sub-protrusion 142 is 15 millimeters to 25 millimeters. For example, the spacing distance between the first sub-protrusion 141 and the second sub-protrusion 142 can be 15 millimeters, 17 millimeters, 19 millimeters, 20 millimeters, 23 millimeters, or 25 millimeters, etc.

[0041] In one embodiment, at least one of the first sub-mounting hole 151 and the second sub-mounting hole 152 is a threaded hole, and the locking member 3 is a bolt.

[0042] Specifically, in an application scenario, the first sub-mounting hole 151 is a threaded hole, and the locking member 3 is a bolt. The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22 are locked by the bolt. Of course, in other application scenarios, the second sub-mounting hole 152 can also be a threaded hole, and the locking member 3 is a bolt, or both the first sub-mounting hole 151 and the second sub-mounting hole 152 are threaded holes, and the locking member 3 is a bolt. Through the above methods, the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22 can be locked, achieving the purpose of locking the support column 2 and the tower package 1.

[0043] In another embodiment, the locking member 3 can also be a rivet. The rivet passes through the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 221, and the support column 2 and the tower package 1 are locked by an interference fit method. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the locking member 3 can also include a bolt and a nut. After the bolt passes through the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 221, the nut is sleeved on the bolt and the nut is tightened, thereby locking the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22.

[0044] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in an embodiment, the support column 2 includes a support column body 23 and a connection disk 24. The connection disk 24 is sleeved on the periphery of one end of the support column body 23, and a part of the connection disk 24 is exposed in the mounting through-hole 13. Among them, the second protrusion 22 protrudes on the part of the connection disk 24 exposed in the mounting through-hole 13.

[0045] Specifically, the connection disk 24 of the support column 2 is used to connect the support column body 23 and the tower package 1. The second protrusion 22 of the support column 2 passes through the mounting through-hole 13 of the tower top 11, aligns the first mounting hole 15 and the second mounting hole 221 along the hole depth direction, and the locking member 3 can lock the connection disk 24 and the tower top 11, thereby realizing the locking of the tower package 1 and the support column 2.

[0046] In an embodiment, the first protrusion 14 and the tower top 11 are integrally formed. Specifically, when the tower top 11 is manufactured, the first protrusion 14 and the tower top 11 are formed by casting as a whole, which can reduce the number of components and improve the strength and stability of the tower package 1.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the first protrusion 14 and the tower top 11 can also be separately cast, and the first protrusion 14 and the tower top 11 are melted and combined together by welding. It should be noted that the application does not limit the process of the tower top 11 and the first protrusion 14.

[0048] In an embodiment, the protruding height range of the first protrusion 14 is 15 mm to 25 mm. Specifically, the protruding height of the first protrusion 14 can be 15 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22.5 mm or 25 mm, etc.

[0049] Refer toFigure 5 The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a pillar mounting mechanism 100 as in any of the above embodiments.

[0050] Continue reading Figure 5 In one embodiment, the vehicle further comprises a side panel 4, see Figure 6 The side panel 4 includes a fender inner panel 41 and a head-up display bracket 42. The fender inner panel 41 is connected to the supporting side wall 12, and the head-up display bracket 42 is connected to the fender inner panel 41 and is located on the side of the tower top 11 away from the supporting side wall 12.

[0051] Specifically, a heads-up display bracket 42 (HUD bracket) is used to fix and support the heads-up display, and the fender inner panel 41 provides support for the heads-up display bracket 42. There is a gap between the heads-up display bracket 42 and the tower top 11. The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22 are located in the gap. The locking piece 3 passes through the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 22 in a direction parallel to the tower top 11, so as to facilitate locking the tower package 1 and the pillar 2. The tower package 1 and the pillar 2 can also be disassembled without removing the heads-up display bracket 42.

[0052] The above description is only an implementation method of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
