Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-5The utility model discloses a TCU module mounting frame structure, including a mounting bracket 1, the top of the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed base 2, the top of the fixed base 2 is provided with a circular hole, the circular hole of the fixed base 2 is detachably connected to a connecting cylinder 3, the top of the connecting cylinder 3 is provided with a threaded hole 4, the inner wall of the circular hole on the fixed base 2 is uniformly provided with a guide groove 6 along its circumference, the inner wall of the circular hole on the fixed base 2 is also provided with a limiting groove 7 connected to the bottom end of the guide groove 6, and the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 3 is uniformly provided with a limiting block 8 cooperating with the guide groove 6 and the limiting groove 7 along its circumference.

[0020] The number of the guide grooves 6 is at least two, the number of the limiting grooves 7 is the same as the number of the guide grooves 6 , and the number of the limiting blocks 8 matches the number of the guide grooves 6 .

[0021] The guide groove 6 extends along the height direction of the circular hole of the fixed base 2, the top of the guide groove 6 is open, and the limiting groove 7 extends in the clockwise direction along the inner wall of the circular hole. The guide groove 6 and the limiting groove 7 are L-shaped.

[0022] When installing the connecting tube 3, align the limit block 8 on the outer wall of the connecting tube 3 with the guide groove 6, and then extend the bottom end of the connecting tube 3 into the circular hole. When the connecting tube 3 cannot move downward, rotate the connecting tube 3 clockwise, and the limit block 8 moves to the limit groove 7, so that the connecting tube 3 is connected to the fixed base 2.

[0023] Specifically, the threaded hole 4 is threadedly connected with a connecting bolt 5 .

[0024] In this embodiment, when the TCU needs to be installed at different heights, connecting tubes 3 of different heights can be installed on the circular hole of the fixed base 2.
