[0041] In the description of this utility model, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0042] This utility model provides a camera mounting assembly 100 (hereinafter referred to as mounting assembly 100). The mounting assembly 100 can assemble the camera 110 and, after assembly, can be installed as an integral structure at the mounting point of the vehicle. The mounting point of the vehicle is not limited to the front bumper, rear bumper, fender, rearview mirror, etc.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The mounting assembly 100 includes a camera 110, a first bracket 120, and a second bracket 130. The first bracket 120 has a connected first mounting portion 121 and a first connecting portion 122, and the second bracket 130 has a connected second mounting portion 131 and a second connecting portion 132. The first mounting portion 121 is the mounting position of the camera 110 onto the first bracket 120, and the second mounting portion 131 is the mounting position of the camera 110 onto the second bracket 130. The first bracket 120 and / or the second bracket 130 may be provided with a mounting structure for assembly with a mounting point on the vehicle. The mounting structure is used to install the mounting assembly 100 onto the mounting point on the vehicle. After the mounting assembly 100 is assembled, the mounting assembly 100 is assembled into the corresponding position on the vehicle through the mounting structure.

[0044] The camera 110 is detachably connected to the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, and is clamped between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, so that the camera 110 is assembled on the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130. After the camera 110 is installed on the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are assembled through the detachable connection of the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132, so that the camera 110 is stably installed on the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, and the mounting assembly 100 is completed. The assembly allows the mounting component 100 to be assembled as a whole structure onto the vehicle mounting point; furthermore, the camera 110 is detachable from the first bracket 120 and from the second bracket 130. If the first bracket 120 or the second bracket 130 is damaged during the assembly of the mounting component 100, the first bracket 120 or the second bracket 130 can be replaced individually, and the original camera 110, the replaced second bracket 130, or the replaced first bracket 120 can be reassembled without replacing the camera 110, thus reducing assembly costs.

[0045] Understandably, there is an installation space between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 to accommodate the camera 110. The camera 110 is located between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 and is clamped by the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, thus being stably connected to the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130. For example, during the assembly of the mounting assembly 100, the camera 110 is first placed between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131. After the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 are connected, the relative positions of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 are fixed, and the opposite ends of the camera 110 abut against the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 respectively, so that the camera 110 is clamped between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131.

[0046] Furthermore, the camera 110 is assembled by clamping. Only the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 need to provide contact surfaces to clamp the camera 110. The structure of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 is less affected by the configuration, outline, or size of the camera 110. Since the connection between the camera 110 and the first bracket 120, and between the camera 110 and the second bracket 130, when it is necessary to replace the camera 110 with a different type, fixing point, outline, or size, only the... The distance between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 can be changed, or the corresponding structure of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 can be changed to clamp the camera 110. This allows the mounting assembly 100 to adapt to the assembly requirements of cameras 110 with different configurations, contours, and sizes. The mounting assembly 100 equipped with cameras 110 of different types, contours, and sizes can all match the mounting points of the vehicle. The assembly of the camera 110 is more flexible, and there is no need to modify or redesign the mounting points of the vehicle, which can reduce the production cost of the vehicle.

[0047] Understandably, the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, the first bracket 120 and the camera 110, and the second bracket 130 and the camera 110 are all assembled using detachable connections. Therefore, during the assembly of the mounting component 100, if either the first bracket 120 or the second bracket 130 is damaged, it can be replaced individually. The detachable connection method between the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 is not limited to threaded connection, snap-fit, riveting, etc.; the detachable connection methods between the first bracket 120 and the camera 110, and between the second bracket 130 and the camera 110, are not limited to abutment, insertion, snap-fit, riveting, etc. The first mounting part 121 and the first connecting part 122 are connected as a single structure, and similarly, the second mounting part 131 and the second connecting part 132 are connected as a single structure. Therefore, the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 do not require additional assembly, making the assembly of the camera 110 more convenient.

[0048] Reference Figure 3The camera 110 has a plug-in end 111 and a camera end 112, wherein the camera end 112 is the end provided with optical elements, which are used to capture images. The optical elements are not limited to lenses, apertures, focusing modules, etc. The plug-in end 111 is used to lead out the internal circuitry of the camera 110, and then make electrical connections with external components or power supplies. In one embodiment, both the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are provided with mounting structures for connecting to the mounting point of the vehicle. The first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 are respectively clamped on opposite sides of the camera 110, and the arrangement direction of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plug-in end 111 and the camera end 112. After the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 clamp the two sides of the camera 110, the camera end 112 of the camera 110 is exposed. The side of the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 near the camera end 112 is connected to the mounting point of the vehicle.

[0049] Alternatively, in another embodiment, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The second bracket 130 has a third mounting portion 133, which is connected to the second mounting portion 131. The third mounting portion 133 is used to connect to the mounting point on the vehicle. The second mounting portion 131 and the third mounting portion 133 are located on the same side of the camera 110. The first mounting portion 121 holds the plug end 111 and has a through hole 1211. The plug end 111 abuts against the first mounting portion 121. The through hole 1211 exposes part of the plug end 111 and allows it to be connected to the plug end 111. The interface of 11 extends to the outside of the first bracket 120 through the through hole 1211, which facilitates the connection of the plug-in end 111 to other components. The second mounting part 131 clamps the camera end 112, and the camera end 112 abuts against the second mounting part 131. The second mounting part 131 is provided with a camera hole 1311 for exposing the camera end 112. After the third mounting part 133 is installed at the mounting point of the vehicle, the camera end 112 of the camera 110 can obtain the driving image of the vehicle through the camera hole 1311 and the hole at the vehicle mounting point.

[0050] Furthermore, the first mounting part 121 may also be provided with a contoured surface that abuts against the plug-in end 111. The contoured surface is adapted to the shape of the surface of the plug-in end 111 that is clamped. Providing a contoured surface can make the contact between the first mounting part 121 and the plug-in end 111 tighter, and can limit the position of the camera 110 and indicate the installation direction, thus having a fault-prevention function and ensuring high installation reliability of the camera 110. Similarly, the second mounting part 131 may also be provided with a contoured surface that abuts against the camera end 112.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first mounting portion 121 and / or the second mounting portion 131 are provided with a first mounting groove 1212 recessed away from the camera 110. The end of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212 and abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212. The inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212 can limit the camera 110 from different directions, making the assembly of the camera 110 with the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 more precise and stable. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 When the first mounting part 121 is provided with a first mounting groove 1212, the through hole 1211 communicates with the first mounting groove 1212, the plug end 111 of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the circumferential sidewall of the plug end 111 and the end face facing away from the camera end 112 can abut against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212; when the second mounting part 131 is provided with a first mounting groove 1212, the camera hole 1311 communicates with the first mounting groove 1212, the camera end 112 of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the circumferential sidewall of the camera end 112 and the end face facing away from the plug end 111 can abut against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212.

[0052] Understandably, both the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 can be equipped with a first mounting groove 1212. The first mounting grooves 1212 of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 respectively mount and limit the camera end 112 and the plug end 111 of the camera 110. In addition, when the outline shape and size of the camera 110 change, only the inner wall shape and size of the first mounting groove 1212 on the first mounting part 121 and / or the second mounting part 131 need to be changed to adapt to the camera 110, making the assembly of the camera 110 more flexible.

[0053] In another embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first mounting portion 121 has a first abutment portion 1213 and a plurality of first limiting ribs 1214. The first limiting ribs 1214 are connected to the first abutment portion 1213 and protrude toward the second bracket 130 relative to the first abutment portion 1213. The plurality of first limiting ribs 1214 surround the periphery of the camera 110 and together limit the camera 110. After the camera 110 is mounted on the first mounting portion 121, the end of the camera 110 abuts against the first abutment portion 1213, and the side of the camera 110 abuts against the first limiting ribs 1214. The first limiting ribs 1214 and the first abutment portion 1213 together limit the camera 110 from multiple directions. Similarly, referring to... Figure 4The second mounting part 131 has a second abutment part 1312 and a plurality of second limiting ribs 1313. The second limiting ribs 1313 are connected to the second abutment part 1312 and protrude toward the first bracket 120 relative to the second abutment part 1312. The plurality of second limiting ribs 1313 surround the periphery of the camera 110 and the plurality of second limiting ribs 1313 together limit the camera 110. After the camera 110 is mounted on the second mounting part 131, the end of the camera 110 abuts against the second abutment part 1312 and the side of the camera 110 abuts against the second limiting ribs 1313. The second limiting ribs 1313 and the second abutment part 1312 together limit the camera 110 from multiple directions.

[0054] For example, in the case where both the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 are provided with abutting parts and limiting ribs, the plug end 111 of the camera 110 is inserted into the space formed by the plurality of first limiting ribs 1214, the end of the plug end 111 abuts against the first abutting part 1213, and the side of the plug end 111 abuts against the first limiting rib 1214. The camera end 112 of the camera 110 is inserted into the space formed by the plurality of second limiting ribs 1313, the end of the camera end 112 abuts against the second abutting part 1312, and the side of the camera end 112 abuts against the second limiting rib 1313.

[0055] Understandably, when the outline shape and size of the camera 110 change, only the size and shape of the space enclosed by the first limiting rib 1214 and / or the second limiting rib 1313 need to be changed to adapt to the camera 110, making the assembly of the camera 110 more flexible. In addition, the adjacent first limiting ribs 1214 and adjacent second limiting ribs 1313 are spaced apart from each other, and the gap between the limiting ribs can accommodate part of the side structure of the camera 110. The space enclosed by multiple first limiting ribs 1214 and multiple second limiting ribs 1313 has a high degree of adaptability to cameras 110 of different shapes. For example, when multiple limiting ribs enclose a cylindrical space or a hexahedral space, the installation requirements of a cylindrical or hexahedral camera 110 can be met.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 4The first mounting part 121 has a first mounting groove 1212 recessed away from the camera 110 and a plurality of first limiting ribs 1214. The first limiting ribs 1214 are disposed on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first mounting groove 1212. The end of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the end face of the camera 110 abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 1212, and the periphery of the camera 110 abuts against the first limiting ribs 1214. On the one hand, the first limiting rib 1214 cooperates with the first mounting groove 1212 to limit the camera 110, and the camera 110 can be limited in different directions, resulting in high installation stability of the camera 110. On the other hand, it enhances the structural strength of the first mounting part 121, reduces the risk of the first bracket 120 being damaged during assembly, and reduces assembly costs. Furthermore, by using multiple first limiting ribs 1214 to limit the periphery of the camera 110, the space enclosed by the first limiting ribs 1214 has a high degree of adaptability to cameras 110 of different shapes.

[0057] like Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the plug-in end 111 of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the end face of the plug-in end 111 abuts against the groove wall of the first mounting groove 1212. The side of the plug-in end 111 abuts against the first limiting rib 1214. The camera end 112 of the camera 110 is inserted into the space formed by multiple second limiting ribs 1313. The end of the camera end 112 abuts against the second abutting part 1312, and the side of the camera end 112 abuts against the second limiting rib 1313. On the one hand, this enhances the structural strength of the first mounting part 121, reduces the risk of the first bracket 120 being damaged during assembly, and reduces assembly costs. On the other hand, the space formed by multiple first limiting ribs 1214 and multiple second limiting ribs 1313 has a high degree of adaptability to cameras 110 of different shapes.

[0058] In one embodiment, multiple first connecting portions 122 and second connecting portions 132 are provided. The first connecting portions 122 surround the periphery of the first mounting portion 121, and the second connecting portions 132 surround the periphery of the second mounting portion 131. When assembling the mounting assembly 100, the two ends of the camera 110 are aligned with the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 131, respectively. After the first connecting portions 122 and the second connecting portions 132 are connected, the camera 110 is clamped between the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 131. The connecting part 122 is disposed on the periphery of the first mounting part 121, and the second connecting part 132 is disposed on the periphery of the second mounting part 131. This provides sufficient operating space for the assembly of the camera 110 with the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131. Furthermore, when the outline and size of the camera 110 change, only the corresponding structure of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 that mates with the camera 110 needs to be changed. The impact on the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 is minimal, which helps to reduce mold opening costs.

[0059] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two of the multiple first connecting parts 122 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first mounting part 121. Two of the multiple second connecting parts 132 protrude towards the first bracket 120 relative to the second mounting part 131. The two first connecting parts 122 and the two second connecting parts 132 correspond one-to-one and are connected to each other. After the first connecting parts 122 and the second connecting parts 132 are connected, the camera 110 is clamped between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131. The first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 are both located between the two second connecting parts 132. Through the mutual connection of the two first connecting parts 122 and the second connecting parts 132, the camera 110 is clamped and fixed, and the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are kept balanced and stable after being connected.

[0060] In addition, two first connecting parts 122 can be provided extending away from the first mounting part 121. The end of the first connecting part 122 away from the first mounting part 121 is connected to the second connecting part 132, thereby increasing the distance between the two second connecting parts 132, providing more operating space for the assembly of the first mounting part 121, the camera 110 and the second mounting part 131, and when the outline and size of the camera 110 change, the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 have sufficient modification margin, and the structural design of the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 is more flexible.

[0061] like Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 are threadedly connected. Both the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 are provided with holes for threaded fasteners to be locked in. The plug end 111 of the camera 110 is inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the camera end 112 of the camera 110 abuts against the second mounting part 131. During the assembly of the mounting component 100, the plug end 111 is first inserted into the first mounting groove 1212, and the side of the plug end 111 abuts against the first limiting rib 1214. Then, the camera end 112 is aligned with the second mounting part 131, and threaded fasteners are locked into the holes of the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 and tightened, so that the camera 110 is clamped between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, and the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 are firmly connected, thus completing the assembly of the mounting component 100. During the assembly of mounting component 100, camera 110 only needs to be inserted into the first mounting slot 1212 and abut against the second mounting part 131. The cooperation and assembly of camera 110 with the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 is less restricted by the space between the first connecting part 122 or the second connecting part 132. Furthermore, the first connecting part 122 and the second connecting part 132 are both located outside the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, providing a large operating space when tightening threaded fasteners, making the assembly of mounting component 100 more convenient.

[0062] In one embodiment, the second bracket 130 has a third mounting portion 133 connected to the second mounting portion 131. The third mounting portion 133 is used to mount to the mounting point of the vehicle. The third mounting portion 133 is closer to the edge of the second bracket 130 than both the second mounting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132. Therefore, when the second bracket 130 adjusts the structure of the second mounting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132 due to changes in the outline and size of the camera 110, the structure of the third mounting portion 133 is less affected, so that the third mounting portion 133 can still be adapted to the mounting point of the vehicle. Thus, cameras 110 with different outlines or assembly structures can be matched and installed to the mounting point of the vehicle, saving the cost of vehicle mold development.

[0063] Reference Figures 6 to 8 This utility model also provides a vehicle, which includes the aforementioned mounting component 100 and bumper body 200. The bumper body 200 serves as a mounting point on the vehicle for mounting the mounting component 100. The second bracket 130 is provided with a third mounting part 133 for connecting to the bumper body 200. The bumper body 200 has a fourth mounting part 210 and a through mounting hole 220. The third mounting part 133 is detachably connected to the fourth mounting part 210. The camera end 112 of the camera 110 is exposed through the camera hole 1311 at the second mounting part 131 and the mounting hole 220 on the bumper body 200 to acquire driving images of the vehicle.

[0064] Since the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, the first bracket 120 and the camera 110, the second bracket 130 and the camera 110, and the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 are all assembled using detachable connections, if the first bracket 120 or the second bracket 130 is damaged during the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200, the first bracket 120 or the second bracket 130 can be replaced individually without replacing the camera 110. This reduces the scrap rate of the camera 110 during the assembly process and lowers assembly costs. Furthermore, since the camera 110 is clamped between the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131, it can be adapted to cameras 110 with different contours, sizes, and connection structures by changing the corresponding structures in the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, without adjusting the structure of the bumper body 200. This reduces vehicle mold development costs and provides high flexibility in assembling the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the bumper body 200, second bracket 130, camera 110, and first bracket 120 are arranged in sequence. The second bracket 130 is located on the side of the bumper body 200 facing the vehicle's center of gravity. The second bracket 130 obstructs the camera 110 and the first bracket 120. A portion of the second bracket 130 with a camera hole 1311 is exposed through the mounting hole 220 of the bumper body 200, and the camera hole 1311 should be smaller than the mounting hole 220. To prevent the gap between the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 from being exposed through the mounting hole 220 after the mounting component 100 is assembled onto the bumper body 200, thus affecting the vehicle's aesthetics, in one embodiment, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 9 The second bracket 130 also includes a pressing part 134, which surrounds the periphery of the second mounting part 131. After the third mounting part 133 is connected to the fourth mounting part 210, the pressing part 134 presses against the edge of the mounting hole 220, so that the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 are in close contact, maximizing the elimination of the gap between the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200, and reducing the probability of the gap between them being exposed.

[0066] It should be noted that by exposing the camera end 112 of the camera 110 by opening mounting holes 220 on the bumper body 200, the mounting holes 220 only need to expose the camera end 112. When the second bracket 130 changes its structure due to changes in the outline, size, fixing point, etc. of the camera 110, the bumper body 200 does not need to be modified, which can reduce the production cost of the vehicle.

[0067] Understandably, the third mounting part 133 is located on the side of the crimping part 134 facing away from the second mounting part 131. Similarly, the fourth mounting part 210 is located on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 220. After the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 are connected, the crimping part 134 located inside the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 can be stably crimped to the edge of the mounting hole 220, so that the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 are in close contact.

[0068] Furthermore, multiple third mounting portions 133 and multiple fourth mounting portions 210 are provided. Multiple fourth mounting portions 210 surround the periphery of the mounting hole 220, and multiple third mounting portions 133 surround the periphery of the pressing portion 134. Each of the multiple third mounting portions 133 corresponds to one of the multiple fourth mounting portions 210 and is interconnected. Thus, the third mounting portions 133 and the fourth mounting portions 210 remain connected at different positions circumferentially around the mounting hole 220, ensuring that different positions circumferentially around the pressing portion 134 are stably pressed against the edge of the mounting hole 220. This results in high connection strength between the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200, and further eliminates the connection gap between the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200. The gap between them reduces the risk of the seam being exposed. In addition, the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 can limit each other at different positions, which can improve the assembly accuracy of the mounting component 100 and the bumper body 200. Furthermore, when the second mounting part 131 of the second bracket 130 changes its structure due to changes in the outline, size, fixing point, etc. of the camera 110, the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 are less affected by the structural changes of the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 131 because they are spaced a certain distance from the camera 110. Therefore, no further structural modifications are required, which can reduce the production cost of the vehicle.

[0069] The detachable connection method between the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 is not limited to at least one of threaded connection, snap-fit, and riveting. For example, both the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 are provided with interlocking buckles, and multiple third mounting parts 133 and multiple fourth mounting parts 210 are interlocked at different positions around the mounting hole 220 to achieve the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200; or, both the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 are provided with holes for threaded fasteners to be inserted, and multiple third mounting parts 133 and multiple fourth mounting parts 210 are threadedly connected at different positions around the mounting hole 220 to achieve the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, some of the third mounting portions 133 and some of the fourth mounting portions 210 are provided with interlocking buckles. The mounting components 100 and the bumper body 200 are assembled through the threaded fastening and interlocking of the third mounting portions 133 and the fourth mounting portions 210 via holes for threaded fasteners. During the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200, the interlocking of some of the third mounting portions 133 and the fourth mounting portions 210 can be used for initial positioning, aligning the holes for threaded fasteners in the other third mounting portions 133 and the fourth mounting portions 210. Then, threaded fasteners are inserted into the third mounting portions 133 and the fourth mounting portions 210 to complete the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200, making the operation relatively convenient.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second bracket 130 further includes a plurality of first limiting portions 135, which are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the crimping portion 134. Along the periphery of the crimping portion 134, at least one third mounting portion 133 is provided between adjacent first limiting portions 135. The bumper body 200 includes a plurality of second limiting portions 230, which are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the mounting hole 220. Along the periphery of the mounting hole 220, at least one fourth mounting portion 210 is provided between adjacent second limiting portions 230. The first limiting portions 135 and the second limiting portions 230 are inserted into each other and mutually limited along the periphery of the mounting hole 220. Since the first limiting part 135 and the third mounting part 133 are alternately arranged, and the second limiting part 230 and the fourth mounting part 210 are alternately arranged, the mutual limiting of the first limiting part 135 and the second limiting part 230 makes the assembly of the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 more precise. During the assembly process of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200, the first limiting part 135 and the second limiting part 230 are first inserted to pre-position the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200 so that each third mounting part 133 is aligned with the corresponding fourth mounting part 210. Then the third mounting part 133 and the fourth mounting part 210 are connected to complete the assembly of the mounting component 100 to the bumper body 200.

[0072] It should be noted that each first limiting part 135 is correspondingly inserted into a second limiting part 230. The mutual limiting of multiple first limiting parts 135 and second limiting parts 230 can improve the assembly accuracy of the mounting assembly 100 onto the bumper body 200. The first limiting parts 135 and second limiting parts 230 are adapted to each other, with at least two of the first limiting parts 135 being configured with different shapes. For example, the different first limiting parts 135 are respectively configured as rectangles or circles, or at least two of the first limiting parts 135 have different structural forms. For example, one of the first limiting parts 135 is configured as a through hole, and the other of the first limiting parts 135 is configured as a protrusion protruding towards the bumper body 200; this indicates the installation direction of the second bracket 130 and the bumper body 200, and serves as a foolproof function.

[0073] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, one of the first limiting portions 135 protrudes towards the bumper body 200, and the corresponding second limiting portion 230 is recessed away from the second bracket 130, so that the protruding first limiting portion 135 can be embedded in the recessed second limiting portion 230; one of the first limiting portions 135 is configured as a through hole, and the second limiting portion 230 is configured as a protrusion protruding towards the second bracket 130, the protrusion passing through the hole and protruding away from the bumper body 200, without affecting the appearance of the bumper body 200.

[0074] The vehicle in this utility model can be a private car, such as a sedan, SUV, MPV, or pickup truck. The vehicle can also be a commercial vehicle, such as a van, bus, small truck, or large semi-trailer. The vehicle can be a gasoline-powered vehicle or a new energy vehicle. When the vehicle is a new energy vehicle, it can be a hybrid vehicle or a pure electric vehicle.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
