DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 The utility model is further described in detail:
[0024] The present invention discloses a bracket for a vehicle-mounted gateway. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, the utility model is a bracket for an on-board gateway of an automobile, comprising a bracket body 1, a mounting box 2 for mounting an on-board gateway is provided on the top of the bracket body 1, a vibration damping assembly is provided inside the mounting box 2, an opening is provided on one side wall of the mounting box 2, a box cover 3 is hinged at the opening of the mounting box 2, a connecting portion 31 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the box cover 3, a nut 32 is hot-pressed inside the connecting portion 31, a bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the inner thread of the nut 32, and the connecting portion 31 is threadedly connected to the bracket body 1 via the bolt 33; an anti-loosening assembly for preventing the bolt 33 from loosening is detachably provided on the top of the bracket body 1. Mounting nuts 12 for mounting the bracket body 1 are hot-pressed on the four corners of the bracket body 1; in this embodiment, the shape of the mounting box 2 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle gateway is installed in the installation box 2. The installation box 2 consists of two parts, including a first box body and a second box body. A through groove is formed between the first box body and the second box body. The advantage of this is that the heat dissipation capacity of the vehicle gateway can be enhanced. At the same time, the interface of the vehicle gateway is also here, which is convenient for connection with other electronic components. The setting position of the nut 32 is as shown in the figure. Figure 6As shown, the nut 32 and the connecting portion 31 are hot-pressed into one piece, which can enhance the firmness of the nut 32. A threaded hole is provided at the top of the bracket body 1 at a position corresponding to the nut 32. The bolt 33 can be threadedly connected to the nut 32 and the threaded hole at the same time, so that the box cover 3 can be fixed to the bracket body 1, and then the installation box 2 can fix the vehicle gateway therein, making the vehicle gateway more firmly fixed. By providing a vibration reduction component, the vibration of the vehicle gateway during the operation of the vehicle can be reduced, protecting the vehicle gateway from damage and extending its service life. By providing an anti-loosening component, the bolt 33 can be effectively prevented from loosening under long-term vibration, further improving the stability and safety of the vehicle gateway. As shown Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 11 is integrally formed at the bottom of the bracket body 1. By providing the reinforcing rib 11, the overall structural strength of the bracket body 1 is enhanced, so that it can better withstand various forces during driving.
[0025] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the vibration damping assembly includes a damping spring 41 and a pressure plate 42. One end of the damping spring 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation box 2, and the other end of the damping spring 41 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 42. In this embodiment, two sets of damping assemblies are provided, one at the top of the first box body and the other at the top of the second box body, respectively, to compress the vehicle gateway from both ends. It is worth noting that the damping spring 41 should undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation after the vehicle gateway enters the installation box 2, so that the pressure plate 42 exerts pressure on the vehicle gateway, thereby securing the vehicle gateway. The damping spring 41 should also retain a certain degree of elastic deformation. When the vehicle encounters significant bumps and vibrations, the damping spring 41 can continue to elastically deform to absorb the vibration, reducing the vibration to the vehicle gateway and achieving a shock-absorbing effect. Preferably, the end of the pressure plate 42 near the box cover 3 is slightly curved toward the damping spring 41. Due to the curvature of the front end of the pressure plate 42, the vehicle gateway pushes the pressure plate 42 upward as it enters the installation box 2, facilitating installation of the vehicle gateway. Preferably, the number of vibration damping components is N, where N≥2.
[0026] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the anti-loosening assembly includes a cap 51, a limit pin 52 and a limit spring 53. The side wall of the cap 51 is integrally formed with a clamping column 54. The inside of the clamping column 54 is provided with a receiving groove 55. The inner side wall of the receiving groove 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the limit spring 53. The other end of the limit spring 53 is fixedly connected to the limit pin 52. The limit pin 52 is "C"-shaped. The two ends of the limit pin 52 can pass through the side wall of the receiving groove 55 and extend outside the receiving groove 55. The top of the bracket body 1 is provided with a clamping groove 56. The clamping groove 56 is The cap 51 is L-shaped and can be detachably mounted on the top of the bolt 33 through the slot 56. The bottom of the cap 51 is integrally formed with a fixing portion 57 that matches the bolt 33. In this embodiment, the shape of the fixing portion 57 should match the slot on the head of the bolt 33. In this embodiment, the slot on the head of the bolt 33 is cross-shaped, so the shape of the fixing portion 57 is cross-shaped and slightly smaller than the cross-shaped slot on the head of the bolt 33. If the slot on the head of the bolt 33 is hexagonal or straight, the shape of the fixing portion 57 should be adjusted adaptively. The shapes of the clamping column 54, the limit pin 52, and the slot 56 are as follows: Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown, there are two through holes on the side wall of the accommodating groove 55, and the two ends of the limit pin 52 can extend from the through holes. When the clamping column 54 is inserted into the bottom of the clamping groove 56, the limit spring 53 will push the limit pin 52, so that the end of the limit pin 52 is inserted into the interior of the clamping groove 56, forming a clamping connection, so that the clamping column 54 is fixed in the clamping groove 56, and then the cap 51 is fixed to the top of the bolt 33.
[0027] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the utility model is:
[0028] First, open the box cover 3 and insert the vehicle-mounted gateway from the opening of the installation box 2. When the vehicle-mounted gateway contacts the front end of the pressure plate 42, it will push the pressure plate 42 upward;
[0029] Next, close the box cover 3 and tighten the bolts 33 to secure the box cover 3 to the bracket body 1.
[0030] Finally, press the limit pin 52 from both sides to make the limit pin 52 enter the inside of the receiving groove 55, then insert the clamping column 54 into the bottom of the clamping groove 56, release your hand, the limit spring 53 will push the limit pin 52, so that the end of the limit pin 52 is inserted into the inside of the clamping groove 56, so that the clamping column 54 is fixed in the clamping groove 56, and then the cap 51 is fixed to the top of the bolt 33, and the fixing part 57 at the bottom of the cap 51 will limit the loosening of the bolt 33.
