[0040] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, most vehicle body panels have openings for mounting charging assemblies, which can be charged by inserting a charging plug. The charging assembly consists of a mounting bracket and a charging socket. The mounting bracket is typically attached to the vehicle body through screws or welding. Different charging sockets of different standards require different body mounting bracket structures. However, the mounting bracket can only accommodate one type of charging socket, making it less versatile.

[0041] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure proposes a mounting bracket and an electric vehicle, so that the mounting bracket can be adapted to a variety of different types of charging sockets, thereby improving its versatility and scope of application.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting bracket includes a bracket body 1 and at least two mounting structures 3, wherein the bracket body 1 is provided with an opening 2; at least two mounting structures 3 are provided on the bracket body 1, and the mounting structures 3 are provided around the opening 2; wherein each mounting structure 3 can be installed with a charging socket, and the structure of each mounting structure 3 is different.

[0044] The bracket body 1 refers to a basic structure for supporting and fixing the charging socket. It needs to have sufficient strength to support the charging socket installed on it. Specifically, the bracket can be a flat plate, similar to a tablet, on which various accessories can be installed. The bracket can also be annular or circular, with better symmetry, which is convenient for central symmetrical layout. The specific shape of the bracket body 1 can be adjusted according to its installation position, and the specific shape of the bracket body 1 is not limited. The structure of the bracket body 1 can be one-piece molded, that is, a single structure manufactured by a mold, which has higher strength. The bracket body 1 can also be composed of several detachable parts for easy transportation and subsequent maintenance. The bracket body 1 can also be set to a foldable structure, which can be folded and stored to save space. The bracket body 1 can be made of metal, plastic or other composite materials.

[0045] The shape of opening 2 matches the outer shape of the charging socket. Specifically, opening 2 can be circular, rectangular, or oval, or any other shape that matches the charging socket. More specifically, the socket can be secured using slots or clips on the edge of opening 2, facilitating quick installation and removal. Threaded holes can also be provided around opening 2 to allow screws to secure the socket to the bracket. A relatively elastic material can also be used around opening 2 to allow for a certain amount of compression when the socket is inserted, achieving a tight fit.

[0046] Mounting structure 3 refers to a mechanism or system used to secure and position the charging socket. It can be part of a bracket and is used to ensure that the mounted component, namely the charging socket, is stably fixed in its predetermined position and can withstand certain external forces without displacement or damage. Specifically, mounting structure 3 can be a mounting system consisting of a series of bolt holes and positioning structures. The charging socket is positioned using the positioning structures and bolts are inserted through the bolt holes to install the charging socket into the charging port. More specifically, mounting structure 3 can also include clips or slots, or adhesive structures to facilitate the installation of the charging socket.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the mounting bracket provided in the first aspect of the present disclosure has at least two mounting structures 3 arranged around the opening 2 on the bracket body 1, and each mounting structure 3 has a different structure, so that different mounting structures 3 can be installed with different charging sockets, thereby making it possible to install charging sockets of different standards on the same mounting bracket by using different mounting structures 3, thereby improving the versatility, compatibility and scope of application of the bracket.

[0048] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting structure 3 includes at least two pre-positioning holes, at least two of which are arranged on opposite sides of the opening 2, and the pre-positioning holes of each mounting structure 3 are different. This design is intended to enable different types of charging sockets to be fixed through their specific pre-positioning holes, ensuring that different types of sockets are installed differently to accommodate their specific sizes and shapes. The different pre-positioning holes of each mounting structure 3 means that at least one of the position, size, shape or number of these holes varies between different mounting structures 3. The purpose of this design is to accommodate charging sockets of different types or specifications and ensure that each socket can be correctly and securely mounted on the bracket.

[0049] Pre-positioning holes are holes used for pre-positioning during the installation of the charging base, allowing components to be quickly and accurately secured in the correct position. Pre-positioning holes provide fixed reference points for more precise installation. Through these holes, screws or other fasteners can be used to securely fasten the socket to the bracket. Different pre-positioning hole designs allow different socket types to be accurately installed in their designated locations, preventing misplacement or unstable installation. Pre-positioning holes are located on opposite sides of the opening 2, helping to distribute force and provide a more stable socket after installation. For example, one or two pre-positioning holes can be placed on one side and one or two on the other side, creating a symmetrical distribution. The pre-positioning holes on each mounting structure 3 can be of different sizes to accommodate different-sized fixing screws or pins. For example, a mounting structure 3 can be designed with a larger diameter hole and a smaller diameter hole. In addition to at least two pre-positioning holes, more pre-positioning holes can be added as needed to further enhance the stability of the fixing. Pre-positioning holes can be used in conjunction with screws, nuts, or locating members on the charging socket to secure the socket. The size of the pre-positioning holes can be determined based on these locating members. The material around the pre-positioning hole has sufficient hardness and toughness to withstand the pressure of the positioning member while avoiding wear or deformation after long-term use.

[0050] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting structure 3 further includes a first mounting locating hole 15 and a second mounting locating hole 16, which are disposed on opposite sides of the opening 2. The first mounting locating hole 15 and the second mounting locating hole 16 are the first holes installed during the installation process. These holes provide a positioning reference and fixing point during the installation process, preventing the charging socket from shifting during subsequent installation. The first mounting locating hole 15 and the second mounting locating hole 16 are disposed on opposite sides of the opening 2, respectively. This ensures that the charging socket is evenly stressed during installation, preventing instability or tilting that may result from unilateral fixing.

[0051] Specifically, each mounting structure 3 can be provided with a first mounting positioning hole 15 and a second mounting positioning hole 16. That is, different sockets can use different mounting positioning hole configurations to better accommodate different types of charging sockets. Alternatively, multiple mounting structures 3 can share a single first mounting positioning hole 15 or second mounting positioning hole 16, thereby reducing the number of openings in the bracket body 1 and improving the overall strength of the bracket body 1.

[0052] More specifically, the diameters of the first and second mounting holes 15, 16 must match the size of the fixings (e.g., screws) used to ensure they can smoothly pass through the holes and securely engage with the bracket body 1. The depths of the first and second mounting holes 15, 16 must also be appropriate. Too shallow a hole may prevent the fixings from being fully embedded, while too deep a hole may compromise the bracket's structural strength. The distance between the first and second mounting holes 15, 16 should match the corresponding holes on the socket to ensure the socket is properly installed in opening 2.

[0053] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the first mounting positioning hole 15 is a circular through-hole, and the second mounting positioning hole 16 is an elliptical through-hole. The circular through-hole is used to secure screws or other circular fasteners, ensuring that the fasteners are accurately aligned and pass through the holes, thereby achieving precise positioning and secure fixation. The circular through-hole, as the first mounting positioning hole 15, primarily serves to provide a fixed positioning reference point, ensuring accurate alignment of the charging socket during installation. An elliptical through-hole has an elliptical cross-section. Compared to a circular hole, an elliptical through-hole has a greater tolerance in certain directions. The design of the elliptical through-hole allows for a certain amount of adjustment during installation, especially when fine-tuning the position. It allows the fasteners to move within a certain range, thus accommodating different installation conditions or slight positional deviations. The circular through-hole provides a precise positioning reference, while the elliptical through-hole provides a certain range of adjustment capability. The combination of the two allows for both precise and flexible installation. The provision of the elliptical through-hole enables the mounting structure 3 to adapt to different installation environments or equipment, ensuring smooth installation even with slight dimensional deviations. The combined use of the first installation positioning hole 15 and the second installation positioning hole 16 can ensure that the socket is more stable after installation, and reduce loosening or falling off caused by improper installation.

[0054] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting structure 3 further includes a plurality of mounting holes 8, and the plurality of mounting holes 8 are arranged around the opening 2, and the aperture of the mounting holes 8 is larger than the aperture of the first mounting positioning hole 15 and the second mounting positioning hole 16. The larger aperture of the plurality of mounting holes 8 allows screws or other fixings to adjust their positions within a certain range to accommodate the installation requirements of different sockets or slight deviations during the installation process. The plurality of mounting holes 8 are arranged around the opening 2, and this layout can provide all-round support to ensure that the socket is effectively fixed in all directions. The number of mounting holes 8 can be adjusted as needed to accommodate sockets of different sizes and weights to ensure their stability after installation.

[0055] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, at least two mounting structures 3 include a first mounting structure 6 and a second mounting structure 7; the at least two pre-positioning holes of the first mounting structure 6 include a first pre-positioning hole 62 and a second pre-positioning hole 64, and the first pre-positioning hole and the second pre-positioning hole are respectively installed on the first side and the second side of the opening 2, and the first side and the second side are opposite sides; the at least two pre-positioning holes of the second mounting structure 7 include two third pre-positioning holes 72, and the two third pre-positioning holes 72 are symmetrically arranged, and the two third pre-positioning holes 72 are respectively arranged on the third side and the fourth side of the opening 2; wherein the first side and the second side are perpendicular to each other and the third side and the fourth side.

[0056] The first pre-positioning hole 62 is installed on the first side of the opening 2, and the second pre-positioning hole 64 is installed on the second side of the opening 2, with these two sides being opposite each other. This design allows the socket to be securely fixed through the two positioning holes and ensures that the socket can be accurately installed in the designated position. Specifically, the first pre-positioning hole 62 can be a square through-hole, and the second pre-positioning hole 64 can be a circular through-hole. This allows the first pre-positioning hole 62 and the second pre-positioning hole 64 to adapt to the positioning structure of the European-standard charging socket 14, thereby allowing the first mounting structure 6 to be installed with the European-standard charging socket 14.

[0057] The two third pre-positioning holes 72 are symmetrically arranged, located on the third and fourth sides of the opening 2, respectively, and on opposite sides. This symmetrical design provides balanced securing force, making the socket more stable after installation. More specifically, the third pre-positioning holes 72 are square through-holes. They communicate with the opening 2, thereby connecting the two pre-positioning holes to form a third slot-shaped structure. This allows the third pre-positioning holes 72 to adapt to the positioning structure of the national standard charging socket 13, thereby allowing the second mounting structure 7 to accommodate the national standard charging socket 13. In other words, by configuring the first mounting structure 6 and the second mounting structure 7 to respectively accommodate the European standard charging socket 14 and the national standard charging socket 13, the mounting bracket can accommodate both the European standard charging socket 14 and the national standard charging socket 13, thereby increasing the mounting bracket's compatibility. More specifically, the bracket body can also be equipped with a mounting structure for a US standard charging socket, allowing the bracket to accommodate US standard charging sockets.

[0058] More specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the mounting holes 8 may include a first mounting hole 81, a second mounting hole 82, a third mounting hole 83, and a fourth mounting hole 84. The first mounting hole 81 and the fourth mounting hole 84 belong to the first mounting structure 6, and the second mounting hole 82 and the third mounting hole 83 belong to the second mounting structure 7, thereby enabling the installation of charging sockets of different standards.

[0059] More specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first mounting structure 6 may include a first hole 61 and a second hole 63; the second mounting structure 7 may include a third hole 71 and a fourth hole 73. The third hole 71 and the fourth hole 73 may have the same structure as the first hole 61 and the second hole 63, and may be arranged near the first hole 61 and the second hole 63, respectively.

[0060] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, a first aqueduct 21 is provided on the first side of the opening 2, and a second aqueduct 22 is provided on the second side of the opening 2. The aqueduct refers to a groove-shaped structure reserved on the mounting structure 3. The aqueduct can prevent the charging socket from interfering with the bracket body 1 or other components during the installation process. The first aqueduct 21 and the second aqueduct 22 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the opening 2. Such a layout can ensure that there is sufficient aqueduct space in both directions, making the installation more flexible. The width and length of the aqueduct need to be designed according to actual installation requirements, to ensure sufficient aqueduct space and to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0061] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, a main positioning hole 4 and a secondary positioning hole 5 are further provided on the bracket body 1, and the bracket can be installed on the body of the electric vehicle through the main positioning hole 4 and the secondary positioning hole 5.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second aspect of the present disclosure provides an electric vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned mounting bracket, and further comprising a rear connecting plate 10 of a rear wheelhouse outer panel 11, a right pillar inner panel 9, a right sill rear connecting plate 12, and a wheelhouse outer panel 11. The mounting bracket is disposed in a space enclosed by the outer panel rear connecting plate, the right pillar inner panel 9, the right sill rear connecting plate 12, and the wheelhouse outer panel 11, and is welded to the above-mentioned structure.

[0064] The present disclosure provides at least two mounting structures 3 around the opening 2 on the bracket body 1, and each mounting structure 3 has a different structure, so that different mounting structures 3 can be installed with different charging sockets. Furthermore, by using different mounting structures 3, charging sockets of different standards can be installed on the same mounting bracket, thereby improving the versatility, compatibility and scope of application of the bracket.

[0065] The above are only specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this disclosure should be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
