The support portions are connected to the mounting surface arranged in the Z-axis direction. The bracket body 1 includes a bearing portion 11 for mounting the wiper body. The plurality of support portions are located above the lowest end of the bearing portion 11 in the Z-axis direction. It can be understood that when the plurality of support portions are located above the lowest end of the bearing portion 11 in the Z-axis direction, the support portions serve as mounting points of the wiper bracket, which can effectively reduce the space occupied in the Z-axis direction. The plurality of support portions are compactly close to the bearing portion 11, further reducing the occupied space, so that a certain available space can be left around the wiper bracket, which can facilitate other operations.

[0027] Among them, the plurality of support portions are arranged to be connected to the vehicle body. In the present embodiment, the mounting surface refers to the mounting surface of the vehicle body, specifically the A-pillar upper inner panel 4. The support portions are arranged to be connected to the A-pillar upper inner panel 4, and the A-pillar upper inner panel 4 is arranged in the Z-axis direction. The wiper bracket can be attached to the A-pillar upper inner panel 4 through the plurality of support portions. The straight-line driving direction of the vehicle is defined as the X-axis direction, and the vertical direction from the roof to the floor of the vehicle is defined as the Z-axis direction.

[0028] The connection mode of the support portion and the mounting surface can be welding, bonding, riveting or screwing. In the present embodiment, the support portion and the mounting surface are fixed by welding.
