[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figs. 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an air filter bracket assembly is installed on a vehicle beam 1. The vehicle beam 1 is the left longitudinal beam of the front compartment of the vehicle, which maintains the stability of the vehicle body structure and has high rigidity and strength. In order to better distribute and bear the forces and torques of the vehicle under different driving conditions, the strength at both ends of the vehicle longitudinal beam is less than that in the middle. The air filter bracket assembly includes multiple mounting brackets 2, through which the air filter is installed on the vehicle longitudinal beam. The multiple mounting brackets 2 are distributed along the Y direction and fixedly installed on the inner plate of the vehicle beam 1. The mounting brackets 2 extend along the Z direction and are fixedly connected to the inner plate of the vehicle beam 1 along the Z direction.

That is, the mounting bracket 2 installed in the middle of the vehicle beam 1 has a different height along the Z direction. The height of the mounting brackets 2 at both ends of the vehicle beam 1 should be lower than the height of the mounting brackets 2 in the Z direction. Here, the X direction is perpendicular to the vehicle beam, the Y direction is the axial direction of the vehicle beam, the Z direction is vertical, and the X and Y directions are horizontal.
