Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive component technology, and in particular to a lightweight and high-strength automotive front compartment assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, pure electric vehicles do not have components such as engines, fuel tanks, and intake and exhaust systems. Instead, they have batteries, motors, and electronic controls. Because the battery placement occupies a large amount of space in the vehicle, the front compartment becomes a key location for the placement of components in pure electric vehicles.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN215826820U discloses an integrated front cabin support assembly for a pure electric vehicle, comprising a lower mounting section for supporting and mounting a vacuum storage tank, a vacuum pump, a water pump, and a compressor; an upper mounting section positioned above the lower mounting section for mounting a battery and a controller; and a vertical connecting frame positioned between the lower and upper mounting sections for connecting them.

[0004] However, the aforementioned automotive front compartment bracket assembly still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump, and compressor are installed in the lower mounting section. When the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump, and compressor malfunction and need to be repaired, due to the obstruction of the upper mounting section, battery, and controller, the maintenance personnel can only operate through the space in front of the assembly, which is relatively narrow and makes the repair difficult.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a lightweight and high-strength automotive front compartment assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightweight and high-strength automotive front compartment assembly that can increase the operable space by rotating the upper mounting part to avoid obstruction, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and operation, and making it more convenient in actual use. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that when the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump and compressor are installed in the lower mounting part, and the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump and compressor fail and need maintenance, the maintenance personnel can only operate through the space in front of the assembly due to the obstruction of the upper mounting part, battery and controller, which makes the operable space relatively small and the maintenance difficult.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: a lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly, comprising:

[0008] The lower mounting section is used for mounting an empty gas storage tank, a vacuum pump, a water pump, and a compressor;

[0009] Upper mounting section, which is used to install the battery and controller;

[0010] A vertical connecting mechanism is used to connect the lower mounting part and the upper mounting part;

[0011] A movable locking mechanism, comprising a rotating shaft, a locking groove, a connecting plate, and a locking bolt;

[0012] Two rotating shafts and two locking slots are provided. The two rotating shafts are fixedly mounted on the rear side of the upper mounting section, and the two locking slots are located on the front side of the upper mounting section. Two connecting plates are provided, each fixedly mounted on the top of an adjacent connecting column and a connecting bracket. The connecting plates are rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the adjacent rotating shafts via bearings. Two locking bolts are provided, each threadedly connected to the top of an adjacent connecting column and a connecting bracket. The two locking bolts are located inside the two locking slots.

[0013] An unfolding support mechanism is provided to support the unfolded upper mounting part.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly of this disclosure, the vertical connection mechanism includes two connecting columns, which are fixedly disposed on the top left side of the lower mounting portion.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly of this disclosure, the vertical connection mechanism further includes two connecting brackets, which are fixedly disposed on the top right side of the lower mounting portion.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, in a lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly, the deployment support mechanism includes a support groove formed on the top of an adjacent connecting bracket.

[0017] According to at least one embodiment of the lightweight and high-strength automotive front compartment assembly of this disclosure, the unfolding support mechanism further includes a side plate, a movable block, and a support arm. Two side plates are provided, and both side plates are fixedly connected to the upper mounting part. The movable block is rotatably connected between two support grooves via a pin. A torsion spring is provided between the movable block and the side plate. The support arm is fixedly disposed at the end of the movable block.

[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention features a movable locking mechanism. When the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump, and compressor mounted on the top of the lower mounting section need maintenance or replacement, the two locking bolts are first rotated upwards to release the pressure on the upper mounting section. Then, the upper mounting section is pushed upwards around its axis, rotating counter-clockwise. Finally, the movable block is rotated, causing the support arm to rotate until it aligns with the support groove. At this point, the upper mounting section is released, and under gravity, the upper mounting section, through the side plate and movable block, pulls the support arm into the support groove. The support groove then limits the support arm's position, completing the support. The operator can then inspect and replace the air tank, vacuum pump, water pump, and compressor from both the lower and upper mounting sections. Compared to existing similar products, this invention increases the operating space by rotating the upper mounting section to allow for clearance, thus reducing the difficulty of maintenance and operation, making it more convenient in actual use.

[0031] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall unfolded structure of a lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the vertical connection mechanism 3 and the movable locking mechanism 4 of a lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of the movable locking mechanism 4 and the unfolding support mechanism 5 of a lightweight, high-strength automotive front compartment assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the lightweight and high-strength automotive front compartment assembly disclosed herein may include components such as: a lower mounting section 1, an upper mounting section 2, a vertical connecting mechanism 3, a movable locking mechanism 4, and an unfolding support mechanism 5.

[0037] It should be noted that the lower mounting part 1, the upper mounting part 2, and the vertical connecting mechanism 3 are all made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown in this disclosure, the vertical connecting mechanism 3 includes connecting columns 31 and connecting brackets 32. There are two connecting columns 31, which are fixedly installed on the top left side of the lower mounting part 1. There are two connecting brackets 32, which are fixedly installed on the top right side of the lower mounting part 1.

[0039] Therefore, the lower mounting part 1 and the upper mounting part 2 can be connected by using two connecting posts 31 and two connecting brackets 32. It should be noted that the outer sides of the connecting posts 31 and the outer sides of the connecting brackets 32 are provided with ear plates for connecting with the vehicle body to achieve installation.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the movable locking mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a locking groove 42, a connecting plate 43, and locking bolts 44. Two rotating shafts 41 and two locking grooves 42 are provided. The two rotating shafts 41 are fixedly disposed on the rear side of the upper mounting part 2, and the two locking grooves 42 are opened on the front side of the upper mounting part 2. Two connecting plates 43 are provided, and the two connecting plates 43 are respectively fixedly disposed on the top of adjacent connecting posts 31 and connecting brackets 32. The connecting plates 43 are rotatably sleeved on the outer side of adjacent rotating shafts 41 via bearings. Two locking bolts 44 are provided, and the two locking bolts 44 are respectively threadedly connected to the top of adjacent connecting posts 31 and connecting brackets 32. The two locking bolts 44 are respectively located inside the two locking grooves 42.

[0041] Therefore, when it is necessary to inspect or replace the empty gas tank, vacuum pump, water pump and compressor installed on the top of the lower mounting part 1, the two locking bolts 44 are first rotated to move them upward to release the pressure on the upper mounting part 2, and then the upper mounting part 2 is pushed upward around the rotating shaft 41 to rotate it counterclockwise.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown in this disclosure, the unfolding support mechanism 5 includes a support groove 51, a side plate 52, a movable block 53, and a support arm 54. The support groove 51 is opened on the top of the adjacent connecting bracket 32. There are two side plates 52, and both side plates 52 are fixedly connected to the upper mounting part 2. The movable block 53 is rotatably connected between the two support grooves 51 by a pin. A torsion spring is provided between the movable block 53 and the side plate 52. The support arm 54 is fixedly installed at the end of the movable block 53.

[0043] Therefore, the upper mounting part 2 is pushed upward around the rotating shaft 41, causing it to rotate counterclockwise. Finally, the movable block 53 is rotated, causing the movable block 53 to drive the support arm 54 to rotate until the support arm 54 is aligned with the support groove 51. At this time, the upper mounting part 2 is released. Under the action of gravity, the upper mounting part 2 drives the support arm 54 into the inner side of the support groove 51 through the side plate 52 and the movable block 53. The support groove 51 limits the support arm 54, thereby completing the support.

[0044] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
