Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of brackets, and in particular to a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, to increase vehicle storage space, rooftops often feature mounting brackets. Users can connect roof racks to these brackets as needed, allowing them to store excess luggage. In related technology, these brackets are welded to the side panels of the roof, and a decorative cover is placed over them to conceal them when the roof rack is not installed. However, this concealment of the brackets by the decorative cover detracts from the aesthetics of the roof. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiment of the present application provides a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly and a vehicle. The first bracket is hidden in the installation space, which can improve the aesthetics of the roof shape.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a first bracket, comprising a clamping portion and two edge portions, wherein the clamping portion is located between the two edge portions and is connected to the two edge portions respectively, and at least a portion of the clamping portion forms a groove with the two edge portions.

[0005] When in use, the first bracket provided in the embodiments of the present application is located within the installation space formed by the vehicle's roof and the first surface of the side outer panel. Its two edge portions are connected to the side outer panel, securing the first bracket to the side outer panel. As can be seen, concealing the first bracket within the installation space eliminates the need for a decorative cover as in the prior art, reduces the width of the gap between the roof and the second surface of the side outer panel, and enhances the aesthetics of the roof. Furthermore, the gap between the roof and the side outer panel in the vehicle's width direction is reduced, and the overlap width between the roof and the side outer panel is reduced, contributing to the aesthetics of the roof. Furthermore, when the roof is a canopy glass, the transparent area of ​​the roof can be increased.

[0006] Furthermore, the groove forms a first gap with the first surface of the side panel, and the engaging portion forms a second gap communicating with the first gap with the second surface of the side panel, thereby spacing the engaging portion from the side panel. When the first bracket is connected to the second bracket, the second bracket rotates to sequentially pass through the gap formed between the second surface of the side panel and the ceiling, the second gap, and the first gap. The engaging portion engages the engaging groove of the second bracket, and the second bracket hooks onto the first bracket and abuts the first surface of the side panel. Consequently, the second bracket can be installed or removed without disassembling or damaging the roof, thereby maintaining the aesthetically pleasing roof shape.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the clamping portion includes a first flange, a main body, and a second flange connected in sequence along the width direction of the first bracket. The main body is connected to two edge portions at opposite ends in the length direction of the first bracket, and the main body and the two edge portions form a groove.

[0008] Thus, the presence of the first flange and the second flange can increase the rigidity of the first bracket. Furthermore, when the engaging portion is engaged with the slot, the first flange and the second flange are located within the slot and respectively abut against the inner wall of the slot. At this point, the first flange prevents the second bracket from moving into the vehicle, while the second flange prevents it from moving outward, thus limiting the second bracket's position in the width direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the first flange can guide the second bracket, allowing it to extend into the first gap, thus reducing the difficulty of the engaging portion engaging with the slot.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first flange and the groove are located on the same side of the main body, and at least part of the orthographic projection of the first flange on the first reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the groove on the first reference plane. The first reference plane is the plane where the length direction and thickness direction of the first bracket are located.

[0010] In this way, the flanging direction of the first flange is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second bracket, which reduces the difficulty of the first flange in guiding the second bracket.

[0011] In a possible implementation, a first arcuate surface is provided at a connection between the first flange and the main body, which guides the second bracket so that the second bracket slides to the first flange.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the first flange and the second flange are connected to opposite sides of the main body in the thickness direction of the first bracket. Thus, the second flange is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second bracket, thereby enhancing the second flange's guiding effect on the second bracket and allowing the engaging portion to engage with the engaging slot.

[0013] In a possible implementation, a second curved surface is provided at a connection between the second flange and the main body, which guides the second bracket so that the second bracket slides to the second flange.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the main body and the two edge portions form a positioning notch, and the orthographic projection of the first flange on the second reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the positioning notch on the second reference plane. The second reference plane is the plane where the length direction and width direction of the first bracket are located.

[0015] In this way, when the second bracket is hooked to the first bracket, the second bracket passes through the gap and is inserted into the positioning notch. The second bracket is aligned with the first gap in the width direction of the vehicle, and the second bracket is easily inserted into the inside of the first gap, reducing the difficulty of the clamping part being clamped into the slot.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the first bracket also includes a reinforcing portion, the reinforcing portion and the clamping portion are spaced apart along the width direction of the first bracket, the reinforcing portion is located between the two edge portions and is respectively connected to the two edge portions, the reinforcing portion, the clamping portion and the two edge portions form a through hole, and the second flange is close to the through hole and is located between the reinforcing portion and the first flange.

[0017] In this way, the strength of the first bracket is improved, and the stability of the connection between the first bracket and the second bracket is improved. In addition, the second bracket extends into the through hole, and the through hole can limit the second bracket in the length direction of the first bracket.

[0018] A second aspect of the present application provides a second bracket, comprising a connecting portion, an intermediate portion, an abutting portion, and a curved portion connected in sequence, wherein the intermediate portion, the abutting portion, and the curved portion together form a slot, and the connecting portion is located outside the slot.

[0019] When the second bracket provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected to the first bracket, one end of the second bracket slides into the gap formed between the vehicle's roof and the second surface of the side panel, then passes through the second gap and the first gap in sequence until the engaging portion engages the engaging groove and the abutting portion abuts the first surface. Thus, the second bracket is connected to the first bracket by rotation, without the need to disassemble or damage the vehicle's roof, thus maintaining the aesthetically pleasing shape of the roof.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the abutment portion has a contact plane, which is used to contact and abut with the first surface of the side outer panel, thereby increasing the contact area between the second bracket and the first surface, increasing the installation reliability of the second bracket, and reducing the looseness of the second bracket in the thickness direction of the first bracket.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the connecting portion, the abutting portion, and the bent portion are all arranged on the same side of the middle portion, and the bent portion is located between the abutting portion and the connecting portion and spaced apart from the bent portion.

[0022] In this way, the orthographic projection of the connecting part on the third reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the roof on the third reference plane. The third reference plane is the plane where the length and width directions of the vehicle are located, which improves the aesthetics of the vehicle when the second bracket is connected.

[0023] A third aspect of the present application provides a bracket assembly, comprising a first bracket as described in any one of the first aspects and a second bracket as described in any one of the second aspects, wherein the first bracket comprises a clamping portion, and the second bracket comprises a clamping slot, wherein when the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping slot, opposite ends of the clamping portion in the width direction of the first bracket respectively abut against inner walls of the clamping slot.

[0024] In this way, the second bracket can be connected to the first bracket in a rotatable manner, which reduces the difficulty of connecting the first bracket and the second bracket and ensures the firmness of the connection between the second bracket and the first bracket.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the clamping portion includes a first flange, a main body, and a second flange connected in sequence. When the clamping portion is clamped into the slot, the first flange and the second flange respectively abut against the inner wall of the slot.

[0026] Thus, the presence of the first flange and the second flange can increase the rigidity of the first bracket. Furthermore, when the engaging portion is engaged with the slot, the first flange and the second flange are located within the slot and respectively abut against the inner wall of the slot. At this point, the first flange prevents the second bracket from moving into the vehicle, while the second flange prevents it from moving outward, thus limiting the second bracket's position in the width direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the first flange can guide the second bracket, allowing it to extend into the first gap, thus reducing the difficulty of the engaging portion engaging with the slot.

[0027] In a possible implementation, when the engaging portion is engaged with the engaging slot, at least one of the first flange and the second flange contacts the inner wall surface of the engaging slot.

[0028] In this way, the contact area between the first flange and / or the second flange and the inner wall of the slot can be increased, thereby improving the reliability of the abutment between the clamping portion and the inner wall of the slot.

[0029] A fourth aspect of the present application provides a vehicle comprising a side panel, a roof, and a first bracket according to any one of the first aspects. The side panel comprises a first surface and a second surface connected to each other, the first surface and the roof forming a mounting space, and the second surface and the roof forming a gap communicating with the mounting space. The first bracket is positioned within the mounting space and comprises a clamping portion and two edge portions, the two edge portions being respectively connected to the side panel, and the clamping portion being spaced apart from the side panel.

[0030] By concealing the first bracket in the installation space, there is no need to set the decorative cover in the prior art, so there is no need to modify the structure of the ceiling, the roof structure will not be damaged, and the aesthetics of the roof shape can be improved.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the clamping portion includes a first flange, a main body, and a second flange connected in sequence, the first flange is located between the second surface and the second flange, and the first flange is arranged on a side of the main body facing the first surface.

[0032] In a possible implementation, the second flange is provided on a side of the main body away from the first surface.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the vehicle further includes a luggage rack and a second bracket according to any one of the second aspects. One end of the second bracket is connected to the luggage rack, and the other end of the second bracket extends into the interior of the installation space through a gap. The second bracket has a slot and an abutment portion. The slot is engaged by the slot, and opposite ends of the slot in the width direction of the first bracket respectively abut against the inner wall of the slot. The abutment portion is located between the slot and the first surface and abuts against the first surface.

[0034] In this way, the second bracket can be limited in the width direction, thickness direction and length direction of the vehicle, thereby achieving the purpose of initially fixing the second bracket.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the abutment portion has an abutment plane that contacts and abuts the first surface, thereby improving the installation reliability of the second bracket in the thickness direction of the vehicle and reducing looseness of the second bracket in the thickness direction of the vehicle.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the vehicle includes at least two bracket groups, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the vehicle, each bracket group includes two bracket assemblies, and the two bracket assemblies are arranged symmetrically in the width direction of the vehicle, and each bracket assembly includes a first bracket and a second bracket.

[0037] In this way, the position of the second bracket in the length direction, width direction and thickness direction of the vehicle remains unchanged, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the second bracket.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the width of the gap is greater than or equal to 6 mm, which can reduce the overlap width between the roof and the side outer panel, that is, can reduce the width of the first surface in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the roof is a skylight glass, which can increase the transparent area of ​​the skylight glass and improve the aesthetics of the roof shape. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] Figure 1 FIG1 is a partial top view of a roof of a vehicle in the related art. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section in the AA direction. In the traditional technology, see Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a mounting bracket 710, a side panel 720, a skylight glass 730, and a decorative strip 740. The decorative strip 740 includes a fixed section 741 and a movable section 742. Figure 2 As shown, the skylight glass 730 overlaps the side panel 720, creating a gap with the side panel 720 to accommodate the decorative strip 740 and the mounting bracket 710. The mounting bracket 710 is connected to the side panel 720 and located directly below the movable section 742. When a luggage rack is required, the movable section 742 is removed, exposing the mounting bracket 710 and connecting it to the luggage rack. However, the wide width of the decorative strip 740 reduces the aesthetics of the roof shape. In addition, the reduced width of the skylight glass 730 reduces the transparent area of ​​the skylight glass 730. Furthermore, the presence of the decorative strip 740 increases the weight of the vehicle body.

[0063] In light of this, embodiments of the present application provide a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly, and a vehicle. The first bracket is installed within the mounting space formed by the sunroof glass and the side panel of the vehicle, concealing the first bracket. This eliminates the need for conventional decorative strips and reduces the width of the gap between the sunroof glass and the side panel, improving the aesthetics of the roof and reducing vehicle weight. Furthermore, the overlap width between the sunroof glass and the side panel can be reduced, increasing the transparent area of ​​the sunroof glass. Furthermore, the second bracket can be connected to the first bracket without disassembling or damaging the roof structure, ensuring the aesthetics of the roof.

[0064] Among them, the vehicle can be an electric vehicle / electric vehicle (EV), or it can also be a pure electric vehicle / battery electric vehicle (PEV / BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a range extended electric vehicle (REEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), a new energy vehicle (NEV), etc.

[0065] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 3 A schematic top view of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] See also Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle may include a side outer panel 300, a roof 400, at least two bracket groups and a luggage rack 700. The vehicle includes two bracket groups, which are arranged along the length direction of the vehicle (e.g. Figure 3 Of course, the vehicle may also include more than two bracket groups, for example, the vehicle may also include three bracket groups along the length direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 3 A bracket group is arranged at intervals (in the middle X direction).

[0068] Each bracket group includes two bracket components, and the two bracket components are arranged in the width direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 3 The bracket assemblies are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal or longitudinal direction (Y direction), with the first end of each bracket assembly connected to the side outer panel 300 and the second end of each bracket assembly connected to the luggage rack 700. Because each bracket assembly is connected to the luggage rack 700, the relative position of any two bracket assemblies in the longitudinal or width direction of the vehicle remains unchanged, thereby maintaining the position of the luggage rack 700, thereby securing the luggage rack 700.

[0069] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the cross section in the AA direction.

[0070] See also Figure 4 As shown, the side panel 300 includes a first surface 310 and a second surface 320 connected to each other. The roof 400 overlaps the first surface 310 of the side panel 300, and the roof 400 and the first surface 310 form an installation space 500. The roof 400 and the second surface 320 form a gap 600 connecting the installation space 500.

[0071] It should be noted that Figure 4 The first surface 310 in the figure is a plane. In this case, the first surface 310 is only for illustration and does not limit the specific structure of the first surface 310. Figure 4 The second surface 320 in the figure is a plane. In this case, the second surface 320 is only for illustration and does not limit the specific structure of the second surface 320.

[0072] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the vehicle (eg Figure 4 In the Y direction, the width of the gap 600 is greater than or equal to 6 mm. For example, the width of the gap 600 can be 7 mm. Since the minimum width of the gap 600 can be 6 mm, the width of the gap 600 is reduced, which can improve the aesthetics of the roof shape.

[0073] In order to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle's roof, in some embodiments, the roof 400 can be a skylight glass, which has an overlapping area and a transparent area. The overlapping area is opposite to the first surface 310, and the light-transmitting area is staggered with the first surface 310 in the thickness direction of the vehicle. The user can see the outside of the vehicle through the light-transmitting area.

[0074] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the bracket assembly includes a first bracket 100 and a second bracket 200. The first bracket 100 is located inside the installation space 500 and is connected to the side panel 300. For example, the first bracket 100 is located inside the installation space 500 and is welded to the first surface 310 of the side panel 300. One end of the second bracket 200 is connected to the luggage rack 700, and the other end of the second bracket 200 passes through the gap 600 and extends into the interior of the installation space 500. The second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100 and extends along the height direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 4 In the middle Z direction) it abuts against the first surface 310, and in the width direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 4 The second bracket 200 is limited in the Y direction) and the height direction, and the second bracket 200 is fixed.

[0075] Concealed installation of the first bracket 100 within the installation space 500 eliminates the need for conventional decorative strips, reduces the width of the gap 600, and enhances the aesthetics of the roof. Furthermore, the overlap between the roof 400 and the side panels 300 is reduced, further enhancing the aesthetics of the roof. Furthermore, when the roof 400 is a canopy glass, the overlap between the side panels 300 and the canopy glass can be reduced, increasing the transparent area of ​​the canopy glass.

[0076] To further reduce the width of the first surface 310 in the width direction of the vehicle, in some embodiments, the first bracket 100 may be arranged above the ends of the roof front cross member, the roof middle cross member, and the roof rear cross member of the vehicle body frame.

[0077] Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the first bracket in FIG. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The schematic top view of the first bracket shown in FIG. Figure 7 for Figure 5 The schematic front view of the first bracket shown, Figure 8 for Figure 5 The right side schematic diagram of the first bracket is shown, Figure 9 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the second bracket.

[0078] The first bracket 100 includes a clamping portion 110 (eg Figure 5As shown), the second bracket 200 has a slot 210 (as shown Figure 9 ). Among them, see Figure 4 As shown, the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping slot 210, and the two opposite ends of the clamping portion 110 in the width direction of the first bracket 100 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the clamping slot 210, and the second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100, in the width direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 4 The second bracket 200 is limited in position in the Y direction to prevent the second bracket 200 from moving into or out of the vehicle.

[0079] See also Figure 4 As shown, in the height direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 4 In the Z direction), a portion of the second bracket 200 is clamped by the clamping portion 110 and the side outer panel 300, and the second bracket 200 cannot move up and down along the height direction of the vehicle. Figure 4 As shown, in the width direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 4 In the Y direction), the opposite ends of the clamping portion 110 are respectively in contact with the second bracket 200, and the second bracket 200 cannot move left and right along the width direction of the vehicle. Figure 3 As shown, in the length direction of the vehicle (such as Figure 3 In the vehicle's longitudinal (X-direction), the second bracket 200 is fixedly connected to the luggage rack 700, preventing it from moving forward or backward along the length of the vehicle. Therefore, the first bracket 100, the side outer panel 300, and the luggage rack 700 collectively constrain the second bracket 200, maintaining its position in the vehicle's longitudinal, width, and height directions. In other words, the second bracket 200 is securely locked.

[0080] See also Figure 4 As shown, the clipping portion 110 is spaced apart from the side outer panel 300, that is, the clipping portion 110 is spaced apart from the first surface 310 and the clipping portion 110 is spaced apart from the second surface 320. At this time, the clipping portion 110 and the first surface 310 form a first gap, and the clipping portion 110 and the second surface 320 form a second gap, and the first gap is connected to the second gap.

[0081] During the process of connecting the second bracket 200 to the first bracket 100, the second bracket 200 is rotated (eg Figure 4 As shown, the second bracket 200 is rotated counterclockwise) so that one end of the second bracket 200 passes through the gap 600, the second gap and the first gap in sequence. One end of the second bracket 200 is located inside the installation space 500, the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping slot 210, and the second bracket 200 is in contact with the first surface 310, so that the second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100.

[0082] When the second bracket 200 needs to be disassembled, rotate the second bracket 200 in the opposite direction (for example Figure 4 As shown, the second bracket 200 is rotated clockwise to allow the second bracket 200 to exit the first gap, the second gap and the gap 600 in sequence, and the engaging portion 110 leaves the engaging slot 210 and separates from the first surface 310 to remove the second bracket 200.

[0083] It can be seen from this that during the installation or removal of the second bracket 200, there is no need to remove or damage the roof of the vehicle, which can ensure the integrity of the roof shape and the aesthetics of the roof.

[0084] Continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the first bracket 100 further includes two edge portions 130, the clamping portion 110 is located between the two edge portions 130 and is respectively connected to the two edge portions 130, and at least part of the clamping portion 110 forms a groove 170 with the two edge portions 130, for example Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the clamping portion 110 and the two edge portions 130 form a groove 170 with a notch facing the first surface 310 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. The groove 170 and the first surface 310 form a first gap through which the second bracket 200 passes. The two edge portions 130 are respectively connected to the side outer panel 300. For example, the two edge portions 130 are respectively connected to the first surface 310 to secure the first bracket 100 to the side outer panel 300. Of course, in some embodiments, the edge portions 130 may also be connected to the second surface 320.

[0085] The edge portion 130 may be connected to the side outer panel 300 by spot welding, riveting, laser welding, double welding, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0086] Continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the first bracket 100 may further include a reinforcing portion 120. The reinforcing portion 120 and the clamping portion 110 extend in the width direction of the first bracket 100 (eg, Figure 6 The first bracket 100 is spaced apart from the second bracket 200 (in the middle Y direction). The reinforcing portion 120 is located between and connected to the two edge portions 130. The reinforcing portion 120, the engaging portion 110, and the two edge portions 130 form a through hole 140. This improves the strength of the first bracket 100 and enhances the stability of the connection between the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200. Furthermore, when the engaging portion 110 is engaged with the engaging slot 210, one end of the second bracket 200 extends into the through hole 140. The inner wall of the through hole 140 serves to limit the second bracket 200 along the length of the first bracket 100.

[0087] For example, see Figure 5As shown, the clamping portion 110 may include a first flange 111, a main body 113 and a second flange 112 sequentially connected along the width direction of the first bracket 100. The main body 113 is arranged in the length direction of the first bracket 100 (eg Figure 6 The two opposite ends in the X direction are connected to the two edge portions 130 respectively, and the main body 113 and the two edge portions 130 form a groove 170 (such as Figure 7 The first flange 111 is located between the second surface 320 and the second flange 112. The second flange 112 is close to the through hole 140 and is located between the reinforcement portion 120 and the first flange 111.

[0088] Thus, the presence of the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 can improve the rigidity of the first bracket 100. Furthermore, when the engaging portion 110 is engaged with the engaging slot 210, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 are located within the engaging slot 210 and respectively abut against the inner wall of the engaging slot 210. At this point, the first flange 111 prevents the second bracket 200 from moving into the vehicle, while the second flange 112 prevents the second bracket 200 from moving out of the vehicle, thereby limiting the position of the second bracket 200 in the width direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the first flange 111 can also guide the second bracket 200, allowing it to extend into the first gap, thereby reducing the difficulty of engaging the engaging portion 110 with the engaging slot 210.

[0089] There is no limitation on the size of the first flange 111. For example, the width of the first flange 111 may be 1 mm.

[0090] There is no limitation on the size of the second flange 112. For example, the width of the second flange 112 may be 1 mm.

[0091] Continue to see Figure 7 As shown, the first flange 111 and the groove 170 are located on the same side of the main body 113, and at least part of the orthographic projection of the first flange 111 on the first reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the groove 170 on the first reference plane. The first reference plane is the plane where the length direction and thickness direction of the first bracket 100 are located. Figure 4 As shown, the first flange 111 is disposed on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310, that is, the first flange 111 is located between the main body 113 and the first surface 310. In this way, the flange direction of the first flange 111 is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second bracket 200, which reduces the difficulty of the first flange 111 in guiding the second bracket 200.

[0092] It should be noted that, in addition to being disposed on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310 , the first flange 111 may also be disposed on the other side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310 .

[0093] In some possible implementations, see Figure 5 As shown, the connection between the first flange 111 and the main body 113 may have a first arcuate surface 150 to guide the second bracket 200 so that the second bracket 200 slides to the first flange 111 .

[0094] Continue to see Figure 8 As shown, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 are respectively connected to the main body 113 in the thickness direction of the first bracket 100 (such as Figure 8 In the Z direction, the second flange 112 is disposed on the side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310 (eg Figure 4 As shown). In this way, the flanging direction of the second flange 112 is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second bracket 200, thereby improving the guiding effect of the second flange 112 on the second bracket 200.

[0095] It should be noted that, in addition to being arranged on the side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310, the second flange 112 can also be arranged on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310. That is, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 can be arranged on the same side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310.

[0096] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connection between the second flange 112 and the main body 113 may have a second arc surface 160 to guide the second bracket 200 so that the second bracket 200 slides to the second flange 112 .

[0097] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 113 and the two edge portions 130 can form a positioning notch 180, and the orthographic projection of the first flange 111 on the second reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the positioning notch 180 on the second reference plane. The second reference plane is the plane where the length direction and width direction of the first bracket 100 are located.

[0098] In this way, when the second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100, the second bracket 200 passes through the gap 600 and is inserted into the positioning notch 180. The second bracket 200 is aligned with the first gap in the width direction of the vehicle, and the second bracket 200 is easily inserted into the interior of the first gap, reducing the difficulty of the clamping portion 110 being clamped into the clamping slot 210.

[0099] In some possible implementations, when the engaging portion 110 is engaged with the slot 210, at least one of the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 contacts the inner wall of the slot 210, for example Figure 4As shown, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 are both in contact with the inner wall surface of the slot 210 . Of course, the inner wall of the slot 210 may also be in contact with the first flange 111 or the second flange 112 .

[0100] In this way, the contact area between the first flange 111 and / or the second flange 112 and the inner wall of the slot 210 can be increased, thereby improving the reliability of the abutment between the clamping portion 110 and the inner wall of the slot 210 .

[0101] Figure 10 for Figure 9 A schematic front view of the second bracket is shown.

[0102] See also Figure 10 As shown, the second bracket 200 includes a connecting portion 230, a middle portion 240, abutting portion 250 and a bent portion 260 connected in sequence. The middle portion 240, the abutting portion 250 and the bent portion 260 together form a slot 210. The connecting portion 230 is located outside the slot 210 and is connected to the luggage rack 700, for example Figure 9 As shown, the connecting portion 230 has a fixing hole for a connecting member to pass through, and the connecting member is connected to the luggage rack 700, so that the second bracket 200 is connected to the luggage rack 700. The connecting member can be a bolt member, of course, the connecting member can also be other structures.

[0103] See also Figure 9 As shown, the connecting portion 230 , the middle portion 240 , the abutting portion 250 and the bent portion 260 are all plate-shaped structures, which can improve the strength of the second bracket 200 .

[0104] Continue to see Figure 10 As shown, the connecting portion 230, the abutting portion 250, and the curved portion 260 are all disposed on the same side of the middle portion 240, with the curved portion 260 located between the abutting portion 250 and the connecting portion 230 and spaced apart from the curved portion 260. Thus, the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 230 on the third reference plane is located within the orthographic projection of the vehicle roof on the third reference plane, which is the plane along which the length and width of the vehicle lie. This improves the aesthetics of the vehicle when the second bracket 200 is connected.

[0105] It should be noted that in addition to being arranged on the same side of the middle portion 240, the connecting portion 230, the abutting portion 250 and the bending portion 260 can also be located on the first side of the middle portion 240, and the abutting portion 250 and the bending portion 260 can be located on the second side of the middle portion 240, and the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the middle portion 240.

[0106] See also Figure 9As shown, the curved portion 260, the abutting portion 250, and a portion of the middle portion 240 form the slot 210. Another portion of the middle portion 240 is located outside the slot 210 and connected to the connecting portion 230. The curved portion 260, the abutting portion 250, and a portion of the middle portion 240 can form a "U"-shaped structure, while another portion of the middle portion 240 and the connecting portion 230 can form a "L"-shaped structure. Thus, the second bracket 200 is similar to a "G"-shaped structure, or in other words, the second bracket 200 is similar to a "C"-shaped structure.

[0107] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 9 As shown, the abutting portion 250 may have an abutting plane 220, and the first surface 310 of the abutting plane 220 contacts and abuts (eg, Figure 4 As shown), the contact area between the second bracket 200 and the first surface 310 is increased, the installation reliability of the second bracket 200 is increased, and the looseness of the second bracket 200 in the thickness direction of the first bracket 100 is reduced.

[0108] For example, the width of the interference plane 220 in the width direction of the vehicle may be 3 mm. Of course, the width of the interference plane 220 in the width direction of the vehicle may also be other values.

[0109] In some possible implementations, see Figure 10 As shown, the curved portion 260 may include an arc segment 261 and a plate segment 262 . The two sections of the arc segment 261 are respectively connected to the plate segment 262 and the abutting portion 250 , which can make the second bracket 200 move more smoothly.

[0110] The radius of the arc segment 261 may be 6 mm. Of course, the radius of the arc segment 261 may also be other values.
