[0032] In the description of the present invention, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more such features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, “multiple” means two or more, and “several” means one or more.

[0034] The following describes a tube bundle support 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the tube bundle support 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle frame mounting portion 100 , a supporting edge 200 and a lower extension portion 300 .

[0036] The frame mounting portion 100 is adapted to be mounted on the inner side of the frame rail 10. A support lip 200 is connected to the bottom of the frame mounting portion 100, and the bottom of the support lip 200 is supported on the lower wing of the frame rail 10. A lower extension 300 is connected to one end of the support lip 200 that faces inwardly of the frame rail 10 and bends downwardly toward the lower wing.

[0037] According to the pipe harness bracket 1 of the present invention, the frame mounting portion 100 is located inside the frame rail 10. The support edge 200, through close contact with the lower wing panel of the frame rail 10, ensures that the pipe harness 20 is always properly and stably positioned, reducing friction caused by vibration or movement of the pipe harness 20 during vehicle operation, thereby effectively reducing dynamic wear. The lower extension portion 300 extends into the frame rail 10 and is bent relative to the lower wing panel, forming an effective guiding and protective structure, further securing the pipe harness 20, preventing it from sliding or shaking in dynamic conditions, and avoiding wear caused by frequent contact between the pipe harness 20 and the frame rail 10.

[0038] By fixing the pipe bundle bracket 1 to the inner side of the frame longitudinal beam 10 and fixing the pipe bundle 20 on the pipe bundle bracket 1, the pipe bundle bracket 1 has good stability under dynamic conditions, further reducing the impact force and friction force on the pipe bundle 20, and improving the safety of the braking system.

[0039] Therefore, the pipe bundle bracket 1 according to the embodiment of the present utility model reduces the dynamic wear between the pipe bundle 20 and the vehicle frame, thereby improving braking safety.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the lower extension portion 300 includes an arcuate portion 310 and a horizontal portion 320. One end of the arcuate portion 310 is connected to the end of the support rail 200 facing the inside of the frame rail 10, and the arcuate portion 310 extends downward in an arc shape. The horizontal portion 320 is connected to the other end of the arcuate portion 310, and the horizontal portion 320 extends outward from the frame rail 10.

[0041] The smooth curve of the arc portion 310 can reduce the contact pressure between the pipe bundle 20 and the pipe bundle support 1, so that when the vehicle moves dynamically, the friction between the pipe bundle 20 and the pipe bundle support 1 is effectively reduced, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the pipe bundle 20.

[0042] At the same time, the combination of the arcuate portion 310 and the horizontal portion 320 can better fix the pipe harness 20, making it less likely to slide or shift during driving. This not only reduces the friction between the pipe harness 20 and the frame longitudinal rail 10, but also prevents damage caused by the unstable position of the pipe harness 20.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, first installation notches 311 are configured on opposite sides of the arc-shaped portion 310 in the width direction. The first installation notches 311 are suitable for accommodating a cable tie to bundle the pipe harness 20 to the outer circumference of the arc-shaped portion 310 .

[0044] The first mounting notch 311 provides a dedicated fixing point, which allows the cable tie to firmly fix the pipe harness 20 to the outer periphery of the arc portion, ensuring the stability of the pipe harness 20 during vehicle operation and preventing the pipe harness 20 from loosening or shifting due to vibration or external force.

[0045] At the same time, the cable tie fixes the pipe bundle 20 to the pipe bundle support 1 to prevent it from moving freely or rubbing against each other in a dynamic environment, thereby reducing the risk of wear or damage to the pipe bundle 20 and improving the safety of the overall system.

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, second mounting notches 321 are constructed on opposite sides of the horizontal portion 320 in the width direction. These notches are suitable for accommodating cable ties for tying the pipe harness 20 to the bottom surface of the horizontal portion 320. These second notches 321 provide additional tying points, securely securing the pipe harness 20 to the bottom surface of the horizontal portion 320. This prevents movement due to vibration or external forces during operation, thereby improving system stability. Furthermore, by securing the pipe harness 20 to the bottom surface of the horizontal portion 320, space is effectively utilized, preventing it from occupying space elsewhere. This results in a more compact overall layout, adapting to the complex environment within the vehicle.

[0047] In addition, bundling the pipe harness 20 on the bottom surface can effectively prevent it from contacting other components of the vehicle, reduce wear caused by friction, and thus extend the service life of the pipe harness 20.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, multiple groups of second mounting notches 321 are arranged along the length direction, and each group of second mounting notches 321 is suitable for accommodating a cable tie so as to extend along the length direction of the horizontal portion 320 .

[0049] The multiple sets of second mounting notches 321 provide multiple bundling points, allowing users to flexibly select bundling locations based on actual needs to accommodate the layout requirements of different pipe bundles 20. Furthermore, the lengthwise arrangement of the second mounting notches 321 allows for a more even distribution of the pipe bundles 20 on the pipe bundle support 1, avoiding localized concentrated loads and thus reducing damage to the combined support 1 and the pipe bundles 20, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the system.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the arc-shaped portion 310 is configured as a semicircular arc, and the horizontal portion 320 is arranged parallel to the support edge 200. The semicircular arc cross-sectional structure can significantly reduce the contact area between the pipe bundle 20 and the pipe bundle support 1, thereby reducing friction and wear caused by friction, helping to protect the surface integrity of the pipe bundle 20 and extending the service life of the pipe bundle 20.

[0051] At the same time, the horizontal portion 320 and the support edge 200 are arranged in parallel to provide a stable fixed space, ensuring that the position of the pipe bundle 20 in the pipe bundle support 1 is not easily offset, thereby enhancing the safety and stability of the structure and preventing the pipe bundle 20 from loosening or falling off during operation.

[0052] In addition, the parallel arrangement structure helps to neatly arrange the pipe bundle 20 in the combined bracket 1, making the overall layout more orderly, which not only improves the aesthetics, but also facilitates subsequent management and maintenance.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the end of the horizontal portion 320, away from the curved portion 310, is configured with an upwardly bent terminal bend 322. The presence of terminal bend 322 effectively limits the longitudinal and lateral displacement of the pipe bundle 20 within the pipe bundle support 1. When the pipe bundle 20 is subjected to external forces, terminal bend 322 can stop the pipe bundle support 1, keeping the pipe bundle 20 fixed within the path, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by displacement.

[0054] In addition, the pipe harness 20 may be subjected to vibration or impact during driving or other movements. The end bend 322 provides additional protection, reducing the swing or shaking of the pipe harness 20 caused by vibration, so that the pipe harness 20 is always in a stable state.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and 3 As shown, an anti-rotation clip 101 is constructed on one side of the frame mounting portion 100. The anti-rotation clip 101 is bent toward the frame hole 11 of the frame longitudinal beam 10. The anti-rotation clip 101 is engaged with the frame hole 11 of the frame longitudinal beam 10 to keep the frame mounting portion 100 fixed in position.

[0056] The anti-rotation edge 101 engages with the frame hole 11 of the frame longitudinal beam 10 to effectively prevent the pipe bundle bracket 1 from rotating and shaking during use, ensuring the stability of the pipe bundle bracket 1 and preventing the pipe bundle 20 from being accidentally twisted or deformed. At the same time, the anti-rotation edge 101 structure can prevent the pipe bundle bracket 1 from loosening or falling off when subjected to external force or vibration, thereby improving safety and reducing the risk of accidents.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the frame mounting portion 100 is configured with mounting holes 102 corresponding to the positions of the frame holes 11 , and the anti-rotation clamping edge 101 and the mounting holes 102 correspond to the adjacent frame holes 11 respectively.

[0058] The mounting holes 102 correspond to the positions of the frame holes 11 , which can ensure that the tube bundle bracket 1 is accurately docked with the frame longitudinal beam 10 during installation, improve the convenience and accuracy of installation, and avoid installation problems caused by position deviation.

[0059] The anti-rotation edge 102 extends into the frame hole 11 to enhance the stability of the pipe bundle bracket 1. The anti-rotation edge 102 can effectively prevent the pipe bundle bracket 1 from rotating or shifting during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the pipe bundle 20 and avoiding damage or malfunction caused by loose position.

[0060] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0061] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle comprises a frame rail 10, a battery box 30, an air reservoir 40, and a pipe bundle support 1 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention. The battery box is mounted on the outside of the frame rail 10. The air reservoir 40 is mounted on the bottom of the battery box 30 and is equipped with a dryer 50. The dryer 50 is connected to the pipe bundle 20. The pipe bundle 20 is mounted on the pipe bundle support 1.

[0062] According to the vehicle of the above embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the pipe bundle bracket 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, dynamic wear between the pipe bundle and the vehicle frame is reduced, thereby improving braking safety.

[0063] Other structures and operations according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
