[0031] The following describes the mounting structure 100 of the mileage sensor 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a mounting portion 10 , a mounting bracket 20 and a mileage sensor 30 .

[0033] Specifically, the mounting portion 10 is disposed outside the powertrain 210 of the vehicle 200. The mounting bracket 20 has a first connecting portion 21 and a second connecting portion 22. The first connecting portion 21 is mounted to the mounting portion 10, and the second connecting portion 22 is located radially to the drive shaft 240. The mileage sensor 30 includes a sensing element 31 and a sensor body 32. The sensing element 31 is mounted to the drive shaft 240 and rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 240. The sensor body 32 is mounted to the second connecting portion 22 and is used to sense the sensing element 31 to obtain the mileage of the vehicle 200. The mounting position of the sensor body 32 on the second connecting portion 22 is adjustable in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240 to adjust the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240.

[0034] The powertrain 210 collectively refers to the transmission, differential, clutch, and other components of the vehicle 200. The drive shaft 240 is used to transmit power from the powertrain 210 to the wheels, and the drive shaft 240 rotates synchronously with the wheels. The radial direction of the drive shaft 240 refers to the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the drive shaft 240. The axial direction of the drive shaft 240 may be the direction in which the drive shaft 240 and the wheels are arranged. For example, in some embodiments, the drive shaft 240 and the wheels are arranged in a left-right direction, with the axial direction of the drive shaft 240 being parallel to the left-right direction.

[0035] The sensing element 31 is mounted on the drive shaft 240 so that the sensing element 31, the drive shaft 240, and the wheel rotate synchronously. In some embodiments, the drive shaft 240 includes a half-shaft and a ball cage connected to the outer circumference of the half-shaft for synchronous rotation therewith. The sensing element 31 can be mounted on either the half-shaft or the ball cage, allowing for flexible selection of the placement of the sensing element 31 to ensure synchronous rotation of the sensing element 31 and the wheel.

[0036] The sensor body 32 is mounted on the second connecting portion 22, which is located on one radial side of the drive shaft 240. The sensing element 31 is mounted on the drive shaft 240 so that the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 are radially opposite to each other along the drive shaft 240. Here, the sensing element 31 and the sensor body 32 are opposite to each other, which means that the sensing element 31 and the sensor body 32 are directly opposite or partially offset from each other, so that the sensor body 32 can sense the sensing element 31.

[0037] As the drive shaft 240 rotates, the sensing element 31 intermittently faces the sensor body 32, causing the sensor body 32 to intermittently sense the sensing element 31, so as to obtain the number of rotations of the sensing element 31 and then the number of rotations of the drive shaft 240 and the wheel. Combined with the diameter of the wheel, the mileage of the vehicle 200 can be obtained.

[0038] In some related technologies, components such as gears and wheel rods are added to the powertrain to connect the powertrain and the mileage sensor, so that the mileage sensor can obtain the number of rotations of the drive shaft driven by the powertrain to obtain the vehicle's mileage. However, this occupies a large amount of space inside the powertrain, making it difficult to meet the demand for increasingly compact internal layout of the powertrain.

[0039] In the present application, the mounting portion 10 is disposed outside the powertrain 210, and the first connecting portion 21 of the mounting bracket 20 is mounted to the mounting portion 10, so that the entire mounting structure 100 is disposed outside the powertrain 210. Here, the outside refers to the outward side of the housing of the powertrain 210. In the present application, the entire mounting structure 100, including the mileage sensor 30, is disposed outside the powertrain 210, eliminating components such as gears and wheel rods within the powertrain 210. This can reduce the space occupied within the powertrain 210, making the structure of the various components within the powertrain 210 more compact, and facilitating a reduction in the overall size of the powertrain 210, meeting the demand for an increasingly compact internal layout of the powertrain 210, achieving weight and cost reductions, and improving the assembly cycle of the powertrain 210. Furthermore, the assembly and maintenance of the mounting structure 100 do not require disassembly of the powertrain 210 and can be completed outside the powertrain 210, facilitating subsequent maintenance of the mounting structure 100.

[0040] The second connecting portion 22 is connected to the mounting portion 10 via the first connecting portion 21. The mounting portion 10 is connected to the powertrain 210, and the powertrain 210 is connected to the drive shaft 240. Therefore, the second connecting portion 22 is connected to the drive shaft 240. In the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240 can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting position of the sensor body 32 on the second connecting portion 22. Since the sensing element 31 is mounted on the drive shaft 240, the minimum distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 (i.e., the distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 when they are relative to each other) can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting position of the sensor body 32 on the second connecting portion 22. This minimizes the minimum distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31, allowing the sensor body 32 to sense the sensing element 31 and improving the accuracy of mileage measurement by the mileage sensor 30.

[0041] Furthermore, different models of mileage sensors 30 have different minimum spacing requirements between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31, which enables the sensor body 32 to sense the sensing element 31. In different vehicles 200, the installation positions of the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 vary. This can easily result in the minimum spacing between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 not meeting the requirement for sensing the sensing element 31 after installation, thereby reducing the measurement accuracy of the mileage sensor 30. However, the present invention can adjust the relative position of the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 to adjust the minimum spacing between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31. This helps meet the minimum spacing requirements between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 in different mileage sensors 30, adapts to the different installation positions of the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 in different vehicles 200, and makes the installation structure 100 more applicable and more practical.

[0042] According to the mounting structure 100 of the mileage sensor 30 in an embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the mounting portion 10 outside the powertrain 210, the overall size of the powertrain 210 can be reduced. By adjusting the mounting position of the sensor body 32 on the second connecting portion 22 in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, the relative position of the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 can be adjusted, which is beneficial to improving the measurement accuracy of the mileage sensor 30 and broadening the scope of application of the mounting structure 100.

[0043] The mileage sensor 30 may be a Hall sensor or other types of sensors, and the sensing element 31 may be a magnet, etc. The sensing element 31 may be fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 240 by glue or a clamp.

[0044] Preferably, the mounting structure 100 of the mileage sensor 30 of the present application can be used in taxis, which can not only reduce the weight and cost of taxis, but also improve the measurement accuracy of the mileage sensor 30 to make the taxi fares more accurate, which is beneficial to protecting the rights and interests of passengers. Moreover, the mounting structure 100 of the present application can be used in taxis of different models and has a wider range of applications.

[0045] Specifically, in some embodiments, the powertrain 210 drives the drive shaft 240 to rotate to drive the wheels to rotate, and the drive shaft 240 rotates to drive the sensing element 31 to rotate, causing the sensor body 32 to generate a corresponding potential difference, output a pulse signal, and calculate and convert it into mileage information that can be recognized by the meter device.

[0046] The installation position of the mounting portion 10 can be flexibly selected, and the mounting portion 10 can be installed outside the powertrain 210. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, mounting portion 10 is disposed on the housing of powertrain 210. Power from powertrain 210 is transmitted to the wheels via drive shaft 240, placing the housing of powertrain 210 relatively close to drive shaft 240. Placing mounting portion 10 on the housing of powertrain 210 reduces the minimum distance between sensor body 32 and sensing element 31 in the radial direction of drive shaft 240, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of mileage sensor 30 while reducing the overall size of powertrain 210. Furthermore, the housing of powertrain 210 is less prone to shaking, making sensor body 32 less prone to shaking relative to drive shaft 240. This provides a more stable installation of sensor body 32 and improves the measurement accuracy of mileage sensor 30.

[0047] As another example in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the mounting portion 10 is mounted on a suspension component 230 of a vehicle 200 connected to a powertrain 210. The powertrain 210 is relatively close to the drive shaft 240, and the suspension component 230 is connected to the powertrain 210. This allows the suspension component 230 to be positioned relatively close to the drive shaft 240, thereby reducing the minimum distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240. This helps to reduce the overall size of the powertrain 210 while improving the measurement accuracy of the mileage sensor 30.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the suspension component 230 is connected to the powertrain 210 through the mounting point 220, and the suspension component 230 is connected to the frame of the vehicle 200. The powertrain 210 can be installed on the frame of the vehicle 200 through the suspension component 230, reducing the possibility of shaking of the powertrain 210 and the suspension component 230 during the driving of the vehicle 200, thereby making the mounting portion 10 less likely to shake, and the sensor body 32 is installed on the mounting portion 10 through the mounting bracket 20, so that the installation of the sensor body 32 is more stable.

[0049] In the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, there are many ways to adjust the installation position of the sensor body 32 on the second connecting portion 22 to adjust the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting portion 22 is provided with a first mounting hole 221 extending along the axial direction of the drive shaft 240. The first mounting hole 221 extends radially along the drive shaft 240. The sensor body 32 is inserted into the first mounting hole 221 and its mounting position is adjustable along the extension direction of the first mounting hole 221. Inserting the sensor body 32 into the first mounting hole 221 along the axial direction of the drive shaft 240 and adjusting the mounting position of the sensor body 32 in the first mounting hole 221 along the radial direction of the drive shaft 240 allows for more rapid adjustment of the mounting position of the sensor body 32 relative to the drive shaft 240 in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, thereby adjusting the spacing between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240, and further adjusting the minimum spacing between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31 on the drive shaft 240, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the mounting position of the sensor body 32 in the second connecting portion 22.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-4 As shown, the mounting structure 100 further includes a first fastener 40 and a first locking member. The sensor body 32 has a first mating hole. The first fastener 40 is inserted into the first mounting hole 221 and the first mating hole. One end of the first fastener 40 has a stopper 41. The first locking member is detachably connected to the other end of the first fastener 40. In the locked state, the first locking member and the stopper 41 respectively press against the opposite sides of the second connecting portion 22 and the sensor body 32. Locking here refers to fixing the first fastener 40 in its installed position at the first mounting hole 221.

[0051] When the first locking member and the first fastener 40 are unlocked, the installation position of the first fastener 40 in the first mounting hole 221 can be adjusted along the extension direction of the first mounting hole 221, thereby adjusting the installation position of the sensor body 32 in the second connecting portion 22. When the first locking member and the first fastener 40 are locked, the installation position of the first fastener 40 in the first mounting hole 221 is fixed, thereby fixing the relative position of the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 and thereby fixing the spacing between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240, thereby fixing the minimum spacing between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31, and completing the installation of the sensor body 32 in the second connecting portion 22. This combines the installation steps of the sensor body 32 and the minimum spacing adjustment step into one step, simplifying the installation steps of the mounting structure 100 and improving installation efficiency.

[0052] The detachable connection between the first locking member and the first fastener 40 can be a combination of one or more connection modes such as threaded connection, clamping or bonding. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the first fastener 40 is a bolt, the stopper 41 is the head of the bolt, the screw portion of the first fastener 40 (i.e., a cylindrical body with external threads) is threadedly engaged with the first mating hole of the sensor body 32, and the first locking member is a nut, the right end of the screw portion of the first fastener 40 being threadedly engaged with the first locking member. The sensor body 32 is located on the left side of the second connecting portion 22, and the first mounting hole 221 extends through it in the left-right direction and in the front-to-back direction. When the first locking member and the first fastener 40 are unlocked, the position of the first fastener 40 in the first mounting hole 221 is adjustable in the front-to-back direction. When the first locking member and the first fastener 40 are locked, the first locking member presses against the right side of the second connecting portion 22, and the stopper 41 of the first fastener 40 presses against the left side of the sensor body 32. The first locking member and the first fastener 40 are firmly connected, thereby firmly connecting the second connecting portion 22 to the sensor body 32.

[0053] It should be noted that in this application, the description of directions such as up, down, front, back, left, and right is only based on the directions marked in the drawings, and does not limit the installation direction of the mounting structure 100 on the vehicle 200.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting structure 100 includes an elastic member 60, which abuts between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22. The elastic member 60 can be compressed to adjust the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22, and when the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 is the target distance L, the elastic force of the elastic member 60 is greater than the set value.

[0055] The target distance L is the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 when the sensor body 32 can sense the sensing element 31 .

[0056] The set value is determined based on the magnitude of the external force that may be applied to the elastic member 60 during normal operation of the vehicle 200. The specific magnitude of the set value is not required and may be determined based on specific circumstances. For example, if the vehicle 200 experiences a bump during driving, which exerts an impact force on the elastic member 60, the maximum force of the impact force applied to the elastic member 60 will be the set value. This will cause the elastic force generated by the compression of the elastic member 60 to be greater than the set value. This will prevent the elastic member 60 from deforming under the impact force, thereby facilitating a constant length of the elastic member 60 and, therefore, a constant spacing between the second connecting portion 22 and the sensor body 32.

[0057] By adjusting the compression deformation of the elastic part 60, the distance between the second connecting part 22 and the sensor body 32 can be adjusted, and then the distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing part 31 on the drive shaft 240 can be adjusted, which is beneficial for adjusting the minimum distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing part 31 in the arrangement direction of the second connecting part 22 and the sensor body 32, and increasing the adjustment range of the relative position between the sensor body 32 and the sensing part 31.

[0058] For example, in some specific embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the axial direction of the drive shaft 240 is parallel to the left-right direction, the radial direction of the drive shaft 240 is perpendicular to the left-right direction, and the second connecting portion 22 and the sensor body 32 are arranged along the left-right direction. The present application can adjust the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240 not only in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, but also in the axial direction of the drive shaft 240, thus extending the adjustment range.

[0059] When the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting part 22 is adjusted to the target distance L by the elastic member 60, the elastic force of the elastic member 60 is greater than the set value, which is conducive to fixing the length of the elastic member 60 to fix the distance between the second connecting part 22 and the sensor body 32, and then fixing the distance between the sensor body 32 and the driving shaft 240, so that the sensor body 32 can stably sense the sensing member 31.

[0060] In some embodiments, multiple elastic members 60 are provided, each of which selectively abuts between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22. Different elastic members 60 have different stiffnesses, so that when the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 is a target distance L, the elastic forces of the different elastic members 60 are different. In other words, different elastic members 60 can be suitable for different target distances L, facilitating the selection of different elastic members 60 for different application scenarios and broadening the applicability of the mounting structure 100. The elastic member 60 can be a component with a certain degree of elastic deformation, such as a spring.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting structure 100 also includes a second fastener, the first connecting portion 21 is provided with a second mounting hole 211, the axis of the second mounting hole 211 is parallel to the axis of the drive shaft 240, the mounting portion 10 has a second matching hole, the second fastener is passed through the second mounting hole 211 and the second matching hole, the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are at least partially staggered in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, and the first connecting portion 21 is rotatable around the axis of the second mounting hole 211.

[0062] Rotating the first connecting part 21 around the axis of the second mounting hole 211 can cause the second connecting part 22 to rotate around the axis of the second mounting hole 211, and thus cause the sensor body 32 to rotate around the axis of the second mounting hole 211, and the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are at least partially staggered in the radial direction of the drive shaft 240, which is beneficial to increasing the adjustment range of the installation position of the sensor body 32 relative to the first connecting part 21, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240, and further broadening the scope of application of the mounting structure 100.

[0063] After adjusting the distance between the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240 so that the sensor body 32 can sense the sensing part 31, a second fastener is passed through the second mounting hole 211 and the second matching hole to fix the relative position of the sensor body 32 and the drive shaft 240, thereby fixing the minimum distance between the sensor body 32 and the sensing part 31, so that the sensing function of the sensor body 32 to the sensing part 31 is more stable.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the drive shaft 240. In the axial direction of the drive shaft 240, the second connecting portion 22 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 21 away from the mounting portion 10. The mounting bracket 20 also includes a third connecting portion 23, which connects the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22.

[0065] The first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are separated in the axial direction of the drive shaft 240, which is conducive to adapting to the axial spacing between the mounting part 10 and the sensing part 31 on the drive shaft 240 along the drive shaft 240, so that when the first connecting part 21 is installed on the mounting part 10, the sensor body 32 connected to the second connecting part 22 can be closer to the sensing part 31 on the drive shaft 240, so that the sensor body 32 can sense the sensing part 31 after a small range adjustment of the installation position of the sensor body 32, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0066] In addition, the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are connected through the third connecting part 23. The axial size of the third connecting part 23 along the driving shaft 240 is the axial distance between the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 on the driving shaft 240. By adjusting the size of the third connecting part 23, the sensor body 32 can be brought closer to the sensing part 31 on the axial direction of the driving shaft 240, and the adjustment efficiency is higher.

[0067] Vehicle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting structure 100 for a mileage sensor 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Due to the aforementioned beneficial technical effects of mounting structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, vehicle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can reduce the overall size of powertrain 210 by locating mounting portion 10 outside of powertrain 210. Furthermore, by adjusting the mounting position of sensor body 32 on second connecting portion 22 in the radial direction of drive shaft 240, the relative position of sensor body 32 and sensing element 31 can be adjusted, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of mileage sensor 30 and broadening the scope of application of mounting structure 100.

[0068] The vehicle 200 may be a new energy vehicle or a fuel vehicle.

[0069] Vehicle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a powertrain 210, which is provided with a mounting portion 10. Mounting portion 10 is a mounting portion 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Mounting portion 10 is used to mount a first connection portion 21 of a mounting bracket 20. A second connection portion 22 of mounting bracket 20 is used to mount a sensor body 32. Sensor body 32 can be mounted to mounting portion 10 via mounting bracket 20.

[0070] The mounting portion 10 is provided on the powertrain 210, so that the mounting portion 10 and the powertrain 210 are integrated. Preferably, the mounting portion 10 and the shell of the powertrain 210 are integrally formed, so as to facilitate multiple rounds of verification such as reliability and quality assurance road tests on the entire vehicle including the mounting portion 10 before the vehicle 200 leaves the factory, so that the stiffness and strength of the mounting portion 10 meet the reliability requirements of the entire vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the stiffness and strength of the mounting portion 10 and making the mounting portion 10 less likely to deform or even break, so that the subsequent mounting bracket 20 can be firmly connected to the mounting portion 10 after being installed on the mounting portion 10, thereby helping to improve the installation stability of the sensor body 32.

[0071] For example, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 10 includes a column and a second mating hole provided in the column, and the second mating hole is a threaded hole. Before the vehicle 200 leaves the factory, a column with a threaded hole is reserved for the shell of the powertrain 210 to perform multiple rounds of verification on the shell of the powertrain 210 with the mounting portion 10 to ensure the rigidity and strength of the entire vehicle, which can reduce the performance degradation caused by punching the vehicle 200 after the vehicle 200 leaves the factory, and is conducive to ensuring the rigidity and strength of the mounting portion 10 so that the mounting bracket 20 can be firmly installed.

[0072] The vehicle 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a powertrain 210 and a mounting bracket 20 . The powertrain 210 is provided with a mounting portion 10 , which is the mounting portion 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The mounting bracket 20 is the mounting bracket 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] The mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the mounting portion 10, which is provided on the powertrain 210. This allows the mounting bracket 20, the mounting portion 10, and the powertrain 210 to be formed as a single piece or a single component. Preferably, the mounting portion 10 and the housing of the powertrain 210 are integrally formed to improve the overall strength of the mounting portion 10 and the housing of the powertrain 210. The mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10 are separate components, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0074] The mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the mounting portion 10, and the mounting portion 10 is provided on the powertrain 210, so as to facilitate multiple rounds of verification such as reliability and quality assurance road tests on the entire vehicle including the mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10 before the vehicle 200 leaves the factory, so that the respective stiffness and strength of the mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10 meet the reliability requirements of the entire vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the respective stiffness and strength of the mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10, so that the mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10 are not easily deformed or even broken, and the connection firmness of the mounting bracket 20 and the mounting portion 10 is improved, so that the subsequent sensor body 32 is firmly connected to the mounting portion 10 through the mounting bracket 20 after being installed on the mounting bracket 20, and then firmly connected to the housing of the powertrain 210, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the sensor body 32.

[0075] The following describes in detail a mounting structure 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, a mounting structure 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is used for a vehicle 200. The vehicle 200 is used as a taxi. The vehicle 200 includes a powertrain 210, a drive shaft 240, and wheels. The mounting structure 100 includes a mounting portion 10, a mounting bracket 20, a mileage sensor 30, a first fastener 40, a first locking member, an elastic member 60, and a second fastener.

[0077] The mounting portion 10 includes a column and a second mating hole provided in the column, the second mating hole being a threaded hole. The mounting bracket 20 includes a first connecting portion 21, a third connecting portion 23, and a second connecting portion 22, which are connected in sequence. The first connecting portion 21 is provided with a second mounting hole 211, and the second connecting portion 22 is provided with a first mounting hole 221. Both the first mounting hole 221 and the second mounting hole 211 are threaded holes. The mileage sensor 30 includes a sensor body 32 and a sensing element 31. The sensor body 32 is provided with a first mating hole, which is a threaded hole. The mileage sensor 30 is a Hall effect sensor. The first fastener 40 is a bolt and has a stopper 41, which is the head of the bolt. The first locking member is a nut, the elastic member 60 is a spring, and the second fastener is a bolt.

[0078] The powertrain 210 , the drive shaft 240 and the wheels are connected in sequence. The powertrain 210 drives the drive shaft 240 and the wheels to rotate synchronously. The axial direction of the drive shaft 240 is parallel to the left-right direction.

[0079] Mounting portion 10 is located on the outward-facing portion of the powertrain 210 housing. A second fastener is inserted through second mounting hole 211 of first connecting portion 21 and the second mating hole of mounting portion 10. When the second fastener is loose, first connecting portion 21 is rotatable about the axis of second mounting hole 211, which extends in the left-right direction. When the second fastener is tightened, the first connecting portion 21 and mounting portion 10 are securely connected and unlikely to move relative to each other. Both mounting portion 10 and mounting bracket 20 are pre-installed components, meaning they are installed on vehicle 200 before it leaves the factory.

[0080] The third connection portion 23 connects the first connection portion 21 and the second connection portion 22 . The second connection portion 22 is farther away from the mounting portion 10 in the left-right direction than the first connection portion 21 .

[0081] The second connecting portion 22 is located below the drive shaft 240, and the sensor body 32 is located to the left of the second connecting portion 22. The first fastener 40 is inserted through the first mounting hole 221 of the second connecting portion 22 and the first mating hole of the sensor body 32. The first mounting hole 221 extends in the left-right direction and in the front-back direction. The stopper 41 of the first fastener 40 stops on the left side of the sensor body 32, and the first locking member is threadedly connected to the right end of the first fastener 40 to stop on the right side of the second connecting portion 22. When the stopper 41 and the first locking member are not pressing the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 in the left-right direction, the first fastener 40 is movable in the front-back direction at the first mounting hole 221. When the stopper 41 and the first locking member are pressing the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 in the left-right direction, the second connecting portion 22 and the sensor body 32 are securely connected and are not susceptible to relative movement.

[0082] The sensing member 31 is mounted on the ball cage of the driving shaft 240 so that the sensing member 31 and the driving shaft 240 rotate synchronously.

[0083] The elastic member 60 is in contact with the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 and is in a compressed state. The elastic member 60 can be compressed and deformed to adjust the distance between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22. The elastic member 60 between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 can be compressed and deformed under an external force greater than a set value, but is less likely to deform under an external force less than or equal to the set value. For example, an operator can manually apply an external force greater than the set value to the elastic member 60 using a tool to further compress and deform the elastic member 60. For example, a bumpy vehicle 200 can generate an external force less than or equal to the set value on the elastic member 60, which prevents the elastic member 60 from deforming.

[0084] First, connect the mileage sensor 30's wiring harness to the meter or other measuring device, and perform a polarity test on the wiring to ensure that the surface of the sensing element 31, which is sensed by the sensor body 32, is aligned with the sensor body 32. Then, secure the sensing element 31 to the flat surface of the CVJ cage using glue or a clamp, and then install the sensor body 32 on the mounting bracket 20.

[0085] The driving shaft 240 rotates to drive the sensing element 31 to rotate, so that the sensor body 32 intermittently senses the sensing element 31, and then the sensor body 32 generates a corresponding potential difference, outputs a pulse signal, and calculates and converts it into mileage information that can be recognized by the meter device.

[0086] During installation of the sensor body 32 on the mounting bracket 20, the first connecting portion 21 can be rotated relative to the mounting portion 10 about the axis of the second mounting hole 211, thereby rotating the sensor body 32 relative to the mounting portion 10 about the axis of the second mounting hole 211, thereby adjusting the installation position of the sensor body 32 relative to the mounting portion 10 in the vertical and front-to-back directions. The first fastener 40 can also be moved relative to the mounting bracket 20 at the first mounting hole 221 in the front-to-back direction to adjust the installation position of the sensor body 32 relative to the mounting bracket 20. The amount of compressive deformation of the elastic member 60 between the sensor body 32 and the second connecting portion 22 can also be adjusted to adjust the installation position of the sensor body 32 in the left-to-right direction relative to the mounting bracket 20.

[0087] By combining the above three adjustment methods, the position of the sensor body 32 relative to the sensing element 31 can be adjusted in three mutually perpendicular directions within a three-dimensional space, so as to adjust the relative position and spacing between the sensor body 32 and the sensing element 31, so that the installed sensor body 32 is directly opposite to the sensing element 31 and can sense the sensing element 31, which is beneficial to increase the scope of application of the installation structure 100 of the present application and improve the measurement accuracy of the mileage sensor 30.

[0088] Other structures and operations of the mounting structure 100 and the vehicle 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
