[0049] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0050] Embodiment one
[0051] The automobile function of traditional fuel vehicle is relatively less, the electrical parts in the cabin are less, and the layout space is relatively sufficient. The automobile function of new energy vehicle is relatively more, especially the demand for electrical devices increases, which leads to the space layout in the cabin being relatively nervous.
[0052] The sheet metal support is a connecting piece for fixing and installing various electrical devices inside the whole vehicle, however, one sheet metal support is usually used to install one electrical device on the market, if the occupied space is to be reduced, the arrangement between multiple supports is mainly optimized, the effect of reducing the occupied space is not obvious, and the installation and combination requirements of multiple configurations and various electrical devices cannot be met, and the problems of high production cost and high vehicle weight are also accompanied.
[0053] The embodiment relates to an installation support, which can install a water overflow tank 5, an electronic control unit 6 and a hand oil pump 7 on the vehicle body by improving the structure, so that the limited space in the cabin can be fully utilized, and the development of parts can be reduced, and processing is convenient.
[0054] Based on the above design idea, an exemplary structure of the installation support of the embodiment is shown in the figure, the installation support of the embodiment is used for being installed on the vehicle body, and the installation support is integrally formed by adopting a sheet metal process and comprises a first support 1, a second support 2 connected with the first support 1 and a third support 3 connected with the first support 1. Figures 1 to 4
[0055] The first support 1 is provided with a first connecting part 1011 for connecting with the vehicle body and a first mounting part for mounting the overflow tank 5. The second support 2 is provided with a second connecting part for connecting with the vehicle body on the side away from the first support 1. The third support 3 is provided with a third mounting part for mounting the hand oil pump 7.
[0056] The mounting support of the embodiment is mainly composed of three parts: the first support 1, the second support 2 and the third support 3. The three parts are processed by sheet metal technology to form an integral structure, which is convenient for installation and fixation on the vehicle body. The first support 1 is the base part of the entire mounting support, which undertakes the important task of connecting with the vehicle body and supporting other components.
[0057] In combination Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting part 1011 is located on the first support 1 and is used for connecting with the vehicle body such as the left front wheel cover, which can ensure that the mounting support is firmly fixed on the vehicle body and is not easy to loosen. At the same time, a first mounting part is arranged on the first support 1, which can be used for mounting the overflow tank 5. The overflow tank 5 is usually used for storing and processing excess moisture in the vehicle system to prevent damage to vehicle components.
[0058] The second connecting part is arranged on the side away from the first support 1, that is, a part for connecting with the vehicle body is arranged on the second support 2. This design can further enhance the installation stability of the mounting support and ensure that it can be fixed in various road conditions.
[0059] At a proper position of the second support 2, a structure specially used for mounting the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, electronic control unit 6) is arranged, which is convenient for arranging the electronic control unit 6 and the overflow tank 5 on the vehicle body at the same time. The electronic control unit 6 may, for example, be an existing engine controller, which is the core component of modern vehicles and is responsible for controlling and monitoring various functions of the vehicle.
[0060] The third support 3 is provided with a third mounting part for mounting the hand oil pump 7, which is convenient for arranging the hand oil pump 7, the electronic control unit 6 and the overflow tank 5 on the vehicle body at the same time. The hand oil pump 7 is usually used for manually pressurizing the fuel system in emergency situations to ensure that the vehicle can start and run normally.
[0061] The design of this mounting support fully considers the actual needs of the vehicle, and through reasonable layout and strong structure, it provides a stable and reliable mounting platform for the overflow tank 5, the electronic control unit 6 and the hand oil pump 7. At the same time, the manufacturing method of one-piece forming by sheet metal technology not only can improve the production efficiency, but also can ensure the overall strength and durability of the support.
[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the first support 1 comprises a first connecting plate 101 for being attached to the vehicle body, and a support plate 102 connected to the upper side of the first connecting plate 101. The first connecting plate 101 comprises a plurality of first connecting holes arranged on the first connecting plate 101, and the first support 1 is connected to the vehicle body by passing the first connecting member through the first connecting holes. The support plate 102 is arranged in intersection with the first connecting plate 101, and the end of the support plate 102 away from the first connecting plate 101 is provided with the aforementioned first mounting portion.
[0063] The first support 1 comprises a first connecting plate 101, which is a key component for connecting the support to the vehicle body. The first connecting plate 101 can be attached to the vehicle body, such as the left front wheel cover, thereby providing sufficient strength and stability for the installation of the support to ensure that the support can be firmly fixed on the vehicle body.
[0064] A plurality of first connecting holes are designed on the first connecting plate 101, and the positions and numbers of the first connecting holes correspond to those of the left front wheel cover. The installation support can be fixed to the left front wheel cover by passing the connecting member, such as a bolt, through the first connecting holes, thereby stably fixing the first support 1 to the vehicle body.
[0065] In this embodiment, the number of first connecting holes is three, which are distributed at the three corners of a triangle, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the first support 1 on the vehicle body. It should be understood that the number of first connecting holes can also be other numbers, such as two, four, five, etc.
[0066] It should be noted that the support plate 102 is arranged in intersection with the first connecting plate 101, which has a certain buffering effect. In the preferred embodiment, the support plate 102 is arranged perpendicular to the first connecting plate 101, so that the overall structure is compact and the overflow tank 5 can be supported at a higher position. In addition, it is also possible to set an acute angle or an obtuse angle between the support plate 102 and the first connecting plate 101.
[0067] In addition, the support plate 102 is arranged perpendicular to the first connecting plate 101, which supports the overflow tank 5 at a higher position while leaving a certain space between the installed overflow tank 5 and the first connecting plate 101, thereby preventing the overflow tank 5 from contacting the first connecting plate 101 and making noise.
[0068] As a preferred embodiment, the support plate 102 on the upper side of the first connecting plate 101 is a plurality of support plates 102, which are arranged at intervals around the edge of the first connecting plate 101. The first mounting portion is a plurality of first mounting portions, which correspond to the plurality of support plates 102 one by one, and each first mounting portion comprises a first mounting plate 103 connected to the upper side of the corresponding support plate 102, and a first mounting hole 1031 arranged on the first mounting plate 103.
[0069] By setting multiple support plates 102 and corresponding first mounting portions, the first support 1 not only provides a more stable support structure, but also makes it convenient to process the mounting support, and the overall weight is lighter. Multiple support plates 102 are connected to the upper side of the first connecting plate 101 and are arranged at intervals around the edge. This design not only enhances the overall structural strength of the first support 1, but also provides a more stable support platform for other components, so that the first support 1 can withstand greater loads and maintain stable performance during vehicle operation.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion corresponds to the support plate 102, and each mounting portion includes a first mounting plate 103 connected to the upper side of the corresponding support plate 102, and a first mounting hole 1031 provided on the first mounting plate 103.
[0071] For example Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 5, wherein the two support plates 102 on the left are used to mount the high-temperature overflow tank, and the two support plates 102 near the right are used to mount the low-temperature overflow tank, so that the high-temperature overflow tank and the low-temperature overflow tank can be arranged on the vehicle body at the same time, which can further improve the integration. The high-temperature overflow tank and the low-temperature overflow tank can be arranged on the upper side of the first connecting plate 101 surrounded by the multiple support plates 102, and the high-temperature overflow tank and the low-temperature overflow tank can cooperate with each support plate 102 to facilitate ensuring the structural strength and reliability after installation.
[0072] It should be understood that the position and number of the first mounting hole 1031 can be adjusted according to specific installation requirements to ensure that the components can be accurately positioned at the required position, and this flexibility helps to optimize the layout and space utilization in the engine compartment.
[0073] It should be noted that since the first mounting portion is directly connected to the support plate 102, the mounting hole can be positioned more intuitively and conveniently during the installation of the overflow tank 5, and appropriate fasteners such as bolts can be used to fix the components on the support, which can simplify the installation process, reduce the assembly difficulty, and improve the overall production efficiency.
[0074] As a preferred embodiment, still referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in FIG. 5, each first mounting portion further includes a first nut 1032, the first nut 1032 is arranged on the side of the first mounting plate 103 facing the first connecting plate 101, and the first nut 1032 and the first mounting hole 1031 are coaxially arranged.
[0075] Here, by introducing the first nut 1032 and the first mounting plate 103 arranged parallel to the first connecting plate 101, the first support 1 not only provides a more stable and reliable mounting method for the overflow tank 5, but also facilitates simplifying the installation process.
[0076] As shown in the above structure, the first nut 1032 is arranged on the side of the first mounting plate 103 facing the first connecting plate 101, and is coaxially arranged with the first mounting hole 1031, so that a fastener such as a bolt can be passed through the first mounting hole 1031 from the other side of the first mounting plate 103 and screwed with the first nut 1032, thereby firmly fixing the component on the first bracket 1.
[0077] The presence of the first nut 1032 not only simplifies the installation process, but also allows the installer to operate by simply tightening the bolt with one hand. Since the first nut 1032 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole, it can be ensured that the bolt can smoothly pass through the mounting hole and cooperate with the first nut 1032, and misalignment or damage during installation can be avoided.
[0078] In a preferred embodiment, each first mounting plate 103 is arranged in parallel with the first connecting plate 101, which helps to keep the overall structure of the first bracket 1 compact and flat, facilitates processing, and facilitates the arrangement of the overflow tank 5. The parallel arrangement of the first mounting plate 103 and the first connecting plate 101 not only makes the appearance of the mounting bracket more neat and beautiful, but also helps to optimize the space utilization and layout in the engine compartment.
[0079] In actual settings, each first mounting plate 103 is arranged on the side of the support plate 102 facing away from the first connecting plate 101, which can reserve more space for the arrangement of the overflow tank 5. In addition, the parallel arrangement helps to ensure that the mounting holes on the first mounting plate 103 and the first connecting holes on the first connecting plate 101 maintain the correct relative positional relationship, thereby simplifying the design and alignment and positioning work during installation.
[0080] Still referring to Figures 1 to 4 As a preferred embodiment, the second bracket 2 is located on one side of the first bracket 1, the second bracket 2 includes a second mounting plate 201 arranged higher than the first connecting plate 101, and the second mounting plate 201 is connected to the first connecting plate 101 through the intermediate connecting plate 4, and the second mounting plate includes a plurality of second mounting holes 2011 arranged on the second mounting plate 201.
[0081] For example Figure 1 As shown in the structure, the second bracket 2 is located on the front side of the first bracket 1 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, facilitating the connection of the electronic control unit 6 and the overflow tank 5 with the surrounding components. In this exemplary structure, the second bracket 2 is ingeniously combined with the first bracket 1 to form a more complete mounting bracket. By introducing the second mounting plate 201 arranged higher than the first connecting plate 101 and connected to the first connecting plate 101 through the intermediate connecting plate 4, the second bracket 2 not only provides additional mounting space, but also enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire mounting bracket.
[0082] The second support 2 is located at the front side of the first support 1 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, which helps to make full use of the space in the engine compartment and facilitates the installation of the electronic control unit 6. The second support 2 includes a second mounting plate 201 arranged higher than the first connecting plate 101, and since the second mounting plate 201 is used to mount the electronic control unit 6, the electronic control unit 6 can be arranged at a higher mounting position, which can effectively reduce the risk of water involvement of the electronic control unit 6 and help to ensure the safety of vehicle driving.
[0083] The second mounting plate 201 is connected with the first connecting plate 101 through the intermediate connecting plate 4, and the intermediate connecting plate 4 not only plays a connecting and supporting role, but also allows the second mounting plate 201 to be adjusted to a certain extent relative to the first connecting plate 101 to adapt to the requirement of simultaneous installation of the overflow tank 5 and the electronic control unit 6.
[0084] The second mounting portion includes a plurality of second mounting holes 2011 arranged on the second mounting plate 201, and the positions and number of the mounting holes can be adjusted according to specific installation requirements to ensure that the electronic control unit 6 can be accurately positioned at the required position. The presence of the second mounting hole 2011 can facilitate the installation of the electronic control unit 6, for example, the electronic control unit 6 can be fixed by fasteners passing through the second mounting hole 2011 to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the installation.
[0085] Since the second support 2 is connected with the first support 1 through the intermediate connecting plate 4, the first support 1 and the second support 2 can form a more stable and complete structure, which not only enhances the carrying capacity of the mounting support, but also facilitates the one-piece forming of the sheet metal process.
[0086] As shown in Figure 4 The intermediate connecting plate 4 extends upward along the up-down direction of the vehicle body and extends forward along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body from the first connecting plate 101 to the second connecting plate 202, and the cross-sectional shape of the intermediate connecting plate 4 is wave-shaped, which on the one hand avoids the existing structure on the vehicle body, and on the other hand has a certain damping effect.
[0087] As a preferred embodiment, the second mounting portion further includes a second nut 2012 arranged on the lower side of the second mounting plate 201, and the second nut 2012 corresponds to the second mounting hole 2011 one by one, and the corresponding second nut 2012 and second mounting hole 2011 are arranged coaxially.
[0088] In the exemplary structure, the second nuts 2012 are arranged on the lower side of the second mounting plate 201 and correspond to the second mounting holes 2011 one by one, and the corresponding second nuts 2012 and second mounting holes 2011 are coaxially arranged, which allows the fasteners such as bolts to be passed through the second mounting holes 2011 from the upper side of the second mounting plate 201 and be screwed with the second nuts 2012 below, thereby facilitating the secure fixing of the electronic control unit 6 on the second mounting plate 201.
[0089] The presence of the second nuts 2012 can simplify the installation process, without the need to find or install the second nuts 2012 on the other side of the bracket, and the operator can tighten the bolts with one hand, which can also improve the accuracy and reliability of the installation. Since the second nuts 2012 are coaxially arranged with the second mounting holes 2011, it can be ensured that the bolts can smoothly pass through the second mounting holes 2011 and cooperate with the second nuts 2012, which can prevent misplacement or damage during installation.
[0090] It should be noted that the first nuts 1032 and the second nuts 2012 mentioned in the embodiment can be existing projection nuts, which are standard parts and have low cost.
[0091] In the preferred embodiment, the side of the second mounting plate 201 away from the first bracket 1 is provided with a second connecting plate 202, and the second connecting part includes a second connecting hole 2021 arranged on the second connecting plate 202, which allows the second connecting plate 202 to be connected to the vehicle body through the fasteners passing through the second connecting hole 2021 on itself, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the installation of the bracket on the vehicle body.
[0092] As in the embodiment, the headlamp upper cross beam on the vehicle body is provided with a threaded hole arranged corresponding to the second connecting hole 2021, and the second connecting plate 202 can be screwed to the threaded hole through the bolt passing through the second connecting hole 2021. The position and number of the second connecting hole 2021 can be adjusted according to the specific connection requirements to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the connection, and in the embodiment, the second connecting hole 2021 can be provided as one.
[0093] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting plate 202 cooperates with the first connecting plate 101 described above to ensure the stability and reliability of the installation of the bracket. Among them, the second connecting plate 202 can be stably installed on the left front wheel cover, and the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 202 are arranged on the two sides of the second bracket 2, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the installation of the electronic control unit 6 on the second bracket 2.
[0094] Still referring to Figures 1 to 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment, at least one of the first connecting plate 101, the intermediate connecting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 201 is provided with a lightening hole, and the edge of at least one lightening hole is provided with a downwardly bent flange 2014.
[0095] As shown in the embodiment, the first connecting plate 101, the intermediate connecting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 201 are each provided with a lightening hole. For the purpose of description, the lightening hole on the first connecting plate 101 is referred to as the first lightening hole 1013, the lightening hole on the intermediate connecting plate 4 is referred to as the third lightening hole 401, and the lightening hole on the second mounting plate 201 is referred to as the second lightening hole 2013. It should be understood that the number and shape of the lightening holes on each plate body are not specifically limited in the embodiment, and can be set according to actual needs.
[0096] In a preferred embodiment, only the edge of the second lightening hole 2013 is provided with a downwardly bent flange 2014, and the flange 2014 is bent downwardly, so as not to affect the installation of the electronic control unit 6 on the second mounting plate 201. It should be understood that the edges of the first lightening hole 1013 and the third lightening hole 401 can also be provided with the flange 2014.
[0097] For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the flange 2014 at the edge of the first lightening hole 1013 is bent upwardly, without affecting the installation of the first connecting plate 101 on the front left wheel cover. The flange 2014 at the edge of the third lightening hole 401 can be bent upwardly or downwardly according to the position of the intermediate connecting plate 4.
[0098] In the above structure, by providing lightening holes on the first connecting plate 101, the intermediate connecting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 201, and adding a downwardly bent flange 2014 to the edge of at least one lightening hole, the lightweight design of the mounting bracket structure can be achieved, while the necessary strength and rigidity can be maintained. This design strategy not only helps to reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, improve fuel economy or endurance, but also optimizes the use of materials under the premise of ensuring structural safety.
[0099] The lightening hole is a hollow hole formed on the connecting plate or mounting plate, which is designed to reduce the amount of material used, thereby reducing the weight of the component. These holes can be regularly or irregularly distributed on the connecting plate or mounting plate, and the specific shape and position depend on the structural strength and installation requirements. In addition, the presence of the lightening hole not only reduces the weight of the mounting bracket, but also helps to improve the heat dissipation performance, because the presence of the lightening hole also increases the path of air flow.
[0100] The downward-bent flange 2014 at the edge of the weight-reducing hole is designed to maintain structural strength and rigidity while reducing weight. The flange 2014 increases the thickness of the edge of the connecting plate or mounting plate, thereby improving its bending and shear resistance. Furthermore, the flange 2014 prevents cracking or damage to the edge of the weight-reducing hole due to stress concentration.
[0101] Weight-reducing holes and flanges 2014 are provided on the first connecting plate 101, the intermediate connecting plate 4, and the second mounting plate 201. A balance needs to be found between structural strength and lightweighting. Too many weight-reducing holes may weaken the overall strength of the structure, while too few weight-reducing holes may not achieve the expected lightweighting effect. Therefore, during the design process, the number, location, and shape of the weight-reducing holes need to be determined based on specific mechanical analysis and experimental verification.
[0102] It should be understood that, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second connecting plate 202 is provided on the side of the second bracket 2 away from the first bracket 1, and the second connecting plate 202 is arranged close to the right end of the second mounting plate 201 along the left-right direction of the vehicle body. Its main purpose is to avoid existing parts on the vehicle. This is mainly because the electronic control unit 6 is relatively light, and this structure is sufficient to ensure the stability and reliability of the electronic control unit 6 installation.
[0103] It should be understood that, depending on actual needs, a connecting plate may also be provided at the left end of the second mounting plate 201 along the left-right direction of the vehicle body. In this case, the connecting plate may be close to the side of the second mounting plate 201 facing the front of the vehicle body, and a connecting hole may be provided on the connecting plate to facilitate the connection of fasteners passing through the connecting hole to the vehicle body, such as the left front wheel arch.
[0104] In a preferred embodiment, the third bracket 3 includes a third mounting plate 301 arranged intersecting with the first connecting plate 101, the third mounting part includes a third mounting hole 3011 provided on the third mounting plate 301, and the first connecting plate 101 is provided with a clearance part 1012 for making way for the hand oil pump 7.
[0105] The third bracket 3 is cleverly combined with the first bracket 1, providing a dedicated installation position and space for components such as the vehicle's hand pump 7. In a preferred embodiment, the third mounting plate 301 is arranged orthogonally to the first connecting plate 101, and a third mounting hole 3011 is provided on the third mounting plate 301, and a clearance portion 1012 is designed on the first connecting plate 101 to make way for the hand pump 7.
[0106] The design not only optimizes the space layout in the cabin, but also improves the convenience and accuracy of installation. Since the hand oil pump 7 is light in weight, a third mounting hole 3011 is arranged on the third mounting plate 301, and the hand oil pump 7 is stably fixed on the third mounting plate 301 through a fastener passing through the third mounting hole 3011.
[0107] In the preferred embodiment, the third mounting plate 301 is arranged orthogonally to the first connecting plate 101, which allows the third mounting plate 301 to have a certain angle with the first connecting plate 101, thereby allowing the third bracket 3 to occupy a unique and effective installation position in the cabin. This design helps to make full use of the space in the cabin and facilitates the installation of the hand oil pump 7.
[0108] The third mounting part includes third mounting holes 3011 arranged on the third mounting plate 301. The positions and number of the mounting holes can be adjusted according to specific installation requirements to ensure that the hand oil pump 7 can be accurately positioned at the required position.
[0109] In the embodiment, the third mounting hole 3011 is designed as one, which can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the hand oil pump 7. In order to simplify the installation process, a third nut is arranged on the side of the third mounting plate 301 facing away from the first connecting plate 101. The third nut is coaxially arranged with the third mounting hole 3011, and the third nut can adopt the existing projection welding nut to facilitate the installation of the hand oil pump 7.
[0110] The first connecting plate 101 is provided with a clearance part 1012 for accommodating the hand oil pump 7. The clearance part 1012 is a specially designed space or gap for avoiding the hand oil pump 7, so that part of the hand oil pump 7 can extend below the first connecting plate 101, thereby avoiding interference or conflict with the first connecting plate 101. The existence of the clearance part 1012 not only optimizes the space layout in the cabin, but also does not affect the installation of the hand oil pump 7 and facilitates the later maintenance of the hand oil pump 7.
[0111] When designing the third bracket 3 and the clearance part 1012, a balance needs to be found between structural strength and space optimization. Too many clearance parts 1012 can weaken the overall strength of the first connecting plate 101, while too few clearance parts 1012 can not meet the installation requirements of components such as the hand oil pump 7.
[0112] By introducing the third mounting plate 301 arranged intersecting the first connecting plate 101, arranging the third mounting hole 3011 thereon, and designing the clearance part 1012 on the first connecting plate 101 to accommodate the hand oil pump 7, the installation of the hand oil pump 7 is facilitated, the space layout in the cabin is optimized, and the adoption of sheet metal process for integral forming of the mounting bracket is not affected, and the structural strength of the mounting bracket can be maintained.
[0113] As a preferred embodiment, the third mounting plate 301 and the plurality of support plates 102 are located on the same side of the first connecting plate 101, and the plurality of support plates 102 are located on the same side of the third mounting plate 301.
[0114] In this exemplary embodiment, the third mounting plate 301 and the plurality of support plates 102 are both arranged on the same side of the first connecting plate 101, and they are positioned relative to the support plates 102 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, specifically, for example, referring to the structure shown in Figure 1 the plurality of support plates 102 are located on the left side of the support plates 102 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, so that the installed overflow tank 5 is arranged on the left side of the hand oil pump 7 in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, which can better optimize the space inside the engine compartment and ensure that the high-temperature overflow tank, the low-temperature overflow tank, the electronic control unit 6, and the hand oil pump 7 can be reasonably installed at the predetermined positions.
[0115] The third mounting plate 301 and the support plates 102 are both located on the same side of the first connecting plate 101, and their relative positions are reasonably adjusted, so that they can jointly occupy the space above the front left wheel cover, which can maximize the use of the space inside the engine compartment, while helping to maintain the compactness and consistency of the installation of the individual components on the mounting bracket, improving the overall space utilization, and facilitating installation and maintenance.
[0116] The mounting bracket of the present embodiment can be formed into an integrated structure by sheet metal processing, which is simple in structure, convenient to process, and high in structural strength. It integrates multiple brackets, which can make full use of the limited space inside the engine compartment, and is simple and convenient to assemble, saves production costs, and also helps to ensure the installation reliability of the overflow tank 5, the electronic control unit 6, and the hand oil pump 7. The mounting bracket can also reduce the development of individual components, reduce the research and development time and cost input in the design stage.
[0117] Embodiment Two
[0118] The present embodiment relates to a vehicle in which the overflow tank 5, the electronic control unit 6, and the hand oil pump 7 are installed on the vehicle body by the mounting bracket as in Embodiment One.
[0119] The vehicle of the present embodiment integrates the overflow tank 5, the electronic control unit 6, and the hand oil pump 7, and other key components together, and through integrated design, the number of brackets required in the engine compartment can be reduced. This integration not only saves valuable engine compartment space, but also reserves more space for other important components or future possible upgrades, improving the overall layout flexibility and compactness of the vehicle.
[0120] Since the mounting bracket has pre-integrated multiple mounting points, engineers can more efficiently plan the positions of various components when arranging the components in the cabin. This design can reduce the complexity and uncertainty of the installation process, making component arrangement more intuitive and convenient, and helping to improve production efficiency and assembly quality.
[0121] The integrated mounting bracket also facilitates simplification of the assembly process. Compared to the assembly method of traditional multiple independent brackets, this design can reduce the number of assembly steps and tools required, and reduce the difficulty of assembly. At the same time, since the bracket structure is strong and accurate, errors and deviations in the assembly process are effectively controlled, which can further improve assembly efficiency and accuracy.
[0122] With the integrated mounting bracket design, not only can the number and types of components be reduced, but also the costs of material procurement, processing, and assembly, etc. can be reduced. In addition, due to the simplification of the assembly process, the required manpower and time on the production line are also reduced, thereby further reducing production costs.
[0123] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
