[0030] In the description of the present invention, “multiple” means two or more, and “several” means one or more.

[0031] The following describes a tube bundle support 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 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 .

[0033] The frame mounting portion 100 is adapted to be mounted on the inner side of the frame rail 10. The frame mounting portion 100 is configured with mounting holes 101 corresponding to the frame holes 11. A support lip 200 is connected to the bottom of the frame mounting portion 100, which is supported at its bottom by the lower wing panel of the frame rail 10. A lower extension 300 is connected to the end of the support lip 200 facing inwardly of the frame rail 10. The lower extension 300 extends below the frame rail 10 and is located inside the lower wing panel of the frame rail 10. The lower extension 300 bends toward the inside of the lower wing panel to form a receiving slot 301 suitable for accommodating the wiring harness 20.

[0034] According to the embodiment of the tube bundle bracket 1 of the present invention, the frame mounting portion 100 of the tube bundle bracket 1 is provided with a mounting hole 101 corresponding to the frame hole 11. The single-hole structure effectively reduces material usage and the number of fasteners used during the manufacturing process of the tube bundle bracket 1. By requiring only one hole corresponding to the frame hole 11, the overall material requirement is reduced. Compared to a multi-hole design, this significantly reduces material waste and saves costs for the tube bundle bracket 1. The single-hole structure uses less manufacturing material, naturally reducing the overall weight of the tube bundle bracket 1. This weight reduction can also improve fuel economy and handling, while also reducing production costs.

[0035] Therefore, according to the tube bundle support 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the material usage of the tube bundle support 1 is reduced by forming a single-hole structure, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the tube bundle support 1 .

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the lower extension portion 300 includes a first vertical portion 310, a horizontal portion 320, and a second vertical portion 330. One end of the first vertical portion 310 is connected to the end of the support rail 200 that faces inwardly toward the frame rail 10, and the first vertical portion 310 extends downward. One side of the horizontal portion 320 is connected to the bottom of the first vertical portion 310 and extends inwardly toward the frame rail 10. The second vertical portion 330 is connected to the other side of the horizontal portion 320 and extends upward. The first vertical portion 310, the horizontal portion 320, and the second vertical portion 330 collectively form a receiving slot 301.

[0037] The accommodating groove 301 provides a dedicated storage space for the pipe bundle 20, accommodating the pipe bundle 20 in an orderly manner, preventing the pipe bundle 20 from becoming cluttered or crisscrossed, and thus protecting the pipe bundle 20 from damage. The combined structure of the first vertical portion 310, the horizontal portion 320, and the second vertical portion 330 effectively distributes and bears the weight and external pressure of the pipe bundle 20, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire pipe bundle support 1.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the first vertical portion 310 is configured with a tie hole 311 . The tie hole 311 is suitable for passing the tie 30 . The tie 30 spans the slot of the installation slot 301 to bundle the pipe harness 20 .

[0039] The structure of the cable tie holes 311 allows the cable tie 30 to span the notch of the mounting slot 301, effectively securing the pipe bundle 20. The cable tie 30 secures the pipe bundle 20 in place within the pipe bundle support 1, preventing displacement or dislodging of the pipe bundle 20 due to vibration or external forces. Furthermore, the cable tie holes 311 allow users to quickly insert the cable tie 30 and perform bundling during installation, simplifying the installation process, improving efficiency, and reducing construction time.

[0040] Furthermore, by using cable ties 30 to neatly secure the pipe bundle 20 within the pipe bundle support 1, the bundle 20 can be effectively prevented from intertwining, which can affect aesthetics and maintenance. This results in a neater overall layout and improves the equipment's appearance. The cable ties 30 effectively prevent the bundle 20 from becoming loose due to stress during use, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the upper edge of the second vertical portion 330 is configured with a limiting notch 331 , and the cable tie 30 is adapted to be accommodated in the limiting notch 331 .

[0042] The lashing strap 30 is accommodated in the limiting notch 331, so that the lashing strap 30 is more compact and stable when bundling the pipeline bundle 20, the fixing effect is enhanced, and loosening or deformation of the pipeline bundle 20 in use is avoided. At the same time, the structure of the limiting notch 331 can effectively limit the sliding of the lashing strap 30, prevent it from moving due to vibration or other external forces in the use process, so as to ensure that the pipeline bundle 20 is always in the predetermined position, and better fixing effect is achieved.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 The lashing strap through hole 311 extends in the vertical direction, and the top of the lashing strap through hole 311 extends to the supporting edge 200 and the bottom extends to the horizontal part 320. The structure of the lashing strap through hole 311 can not only ensure the stable fixation of the pipeline bundle 20, but also reduce the weight of the pipeline support 1. The lashing strap through hole 311 is connected to the supporting edge 200 and the horizontal part 320, which can ensure the structural strength of the pipeline support 1 and reduce the weight and save the manufacturing cost.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 The horizontal part 320 is provided with a lower guide folding edge 302 which is bent downward to the accommodating groove 301 at both ends in the length direction.

[0045] The lower guide folding edge 302 can effectively guide the pipeline bundle 20 into the accommodating groove 301, so that the pipeline bundle 20 can be accurately positioned in the pipeline support 1 during installation, thereby reducing the need for error and adjustment during installation and improving the efficiency. At the same time, the lower guide folding edge 302 can also reduce the friction between the pipeline bundle 20 and the pipeline support 1, thereby reducing the degree of wear and tear and prolonging the service life of the pipeline bundle 20. In addition, it helps the pipeline bundle to move freely and prevents it from being stuck due to friction during use.

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 The first vertical part 310 and the second vertical part 330 are both provided with a side guide folding edge 303 which is bent outward to the accommodating groove 301 at both ends in the length direction.

[0047] The structure of the side guide folding edge 303 can effectively prevent the pipeline bundle 20 from directly contacting the inner wall of the pipeline support 1, thereby reducing the friction of the pipeline bundle 20 during movement or vibration, prolonging the service life of the pipeline bundle 20, and reducing the failure and replacement frequency caused by wear and tear.

[0048] At the same time, the side guide flanges 303 provide additional space, allowing the pipe harness 20 to more flexibly avoid surrounding related components. In some equipment or installation scenarios, the pipe harness may need to be routed around other components. The side guide flanges 303 can help achieve this purpose, ensuring the safe and normal operation of the pipe harness 20.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, one side of the frame mounting portion 100 is configured with an anti-rotation latch 102. The anti-rotation latch 102 is bent toward the frame hole 11 of the frame rail 10. The anti-rotation latch 102 engages with the frame hole 11 of the frame rail 10 to maintain the position of the frame mounting portion 100. A gap is left in the vertical direction on the anti-rotation latch 102.

[0050] The anti-rotation lip 102 ensures the stability of the frame mounting portion 100 on the frame rail 10, preventing the pipe bundle bracket 1 from rotating or moving during use, thereby maintaining the stability of the device. Furthermore, during vehicle operation, external forces acting on the frame rail 20 may cause the pipe bundle bracket 1 to twist, but the anti-rotation lip 102 effectively prevents this, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system.

[0051] The gaps around the anti-rotation clamping edge 102 help alleviate the stress concentration caused by vibration. The provision of the gaps can effectively absorb some of the vibration energy, thereby reducing damage to the tube bundle support 1 and the tube bundle 20 and extending the service life.

[0052] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0053] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a frame rail and a pipe bundle support 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention. The pipe bundle support 1 is mounted on the frame rail 10, and the pipe bundle 20 is mounted on the pipe bundle support 1.

[0054] The engine mount 40 is fixed to the frame longitudinal rail 10 by fasteners, the pipe harness 20 passes under the engine mount 40 , and the pipe harness bracket 1 is arranged on the lower side of the engine mount 40 to fix the pipe harness 20 .

[0055] According to the vehicle of the above embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the tube bundle bracket 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the material usage of the tube bundle bracket 1 is reduced by forming a single-hole structure, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the tube bundle bracket 1 .

[0056] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple tube bundle supports 1 , and the multiple tube bundle supports 1 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the frame longitudinal beam 10 .

[0057] Arranging multiple tube bundle supports 1 at intervals effectively distributes the weight and force of the pipe bundle 20, ensuring a more uniform support effect during load-bearing. This ensures the stability of the pipe bundle during driving and reduces damage caused by vibration or external forces. Furthermore, the multiple tube bundle supports 1 arranged at intervals can accommodate pipe bundles 20 with different configurations, providing a flexible support solution for various pipe bundles 20 and making them suitable for a wider range of vehicle models and applications. Furthermore, by arranging the tube bundle supports 1 at intervals, the design of the tube bundle supports 1 can be optimized without compromising support effectiveness, reducing occupied space and weight, thereby improving fuel economy and vehicle performance.
