[0006] An axial bearing body is disposed on the other side of the radial bearing body and is used to be disposed on the fuel tank. The length direction of the axial bearing body is disposed along the width direction of the radial bearing body, and both ends of the axial bearing body extend to the outside of the radial bearing body.
[0007] Furthermore, both sides of the radial bearing body have outwardly protruding reinforcing plates, which are fitted and connected to the axial bearing body.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an arc-shaped reinforcing rib, which is disposed on the reinforcing plate and located on the side of the reinforcing plate away from the axial bearing body. The opening of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib faces the radial bearing body, and the end of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib is connected to the radial bearing body.
[0009] Furthermore, the axial load-bearing body includes,
[0010] A support frame is disposed on the radial bearing body, and the length direction of the support frame is along the width direction of the radial bearing body;
[0011] A connecting beam is disposed on the radial load-bearing body and located inside the support frame. The end of the connecting beam is connected to the support frame, and the length direction of the connecting beam is the same as the length direction of the radial load-bearing body.
[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple connecting beams, and all the connecting beams are arranged along the length direction of the support frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the FTIV valve has a first positioning block and a second positioning block, and also includes,
[0014] The first limiting block is disposed at one end of the radial bearing body, and the first positioning block is used to overlap with the first limiting block;
[0015] The second limiting block is disposed at the other end of the radial bearing body. The FTIV valve is used to snap between the first limiting block and the second limiting block. The second positioning block is used to overlap with the second limiting block.
[0016] The first locking element is used to lock the first positioning block and the first limiting block together.
[0017] The second locking element is used to lock the second positioning block and the second limiting block together.
[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a wire harness plate, which is disposed on the radial bearing body and located at one end near the second limiting block. The wire harness plate has wire harness holes, and the axial direction of the wire harness holes is arranged along the length direction of the radial bearing body.

[0034] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0035] Example, refer to Figures 1-4As an embodiment of this utility model, an FTIV valve mounting bracket is proposed for fixing an FTIV valve 4 to a fuel tank 5. It includes a radial support body 1 and an axial support body 2. The radial support body 1 is mounted on the fuel tank 5, and its length direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the FTIV valve 4. The radial support body 1 has a positioning groove 3 on the side away from the fuel tank 5, and the FTIV valve 4 is mounted on the radial support body 1 and located within the positioning groove 3. The axial support body 2 is located on the other side of the radial support body 1 and is mounted on the fuel tank 5. The length direction of the axial support body 2 is along the width direction of the radial support body 1, and both ends of the axial support body 2 extend outside the radial support body 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the positioning groove 3 is arranged along the width direction of the bearing body 1. The FTIV valve 4 is used to be installed on the radial bearing body 1. The positioning groove 3 on the radial bearing body 1 is coaxially arranged with the FTIV valve 4, which can limit the FTIV valve 4, so that the FTIV valve 4 and the radial bearing body 1 are reliably attached together. This increases the contact area between the FTIV valve 4 and the radial bearing body 1, making the connection between the FTIV valve 4 and the radial bearing body 1 more firm and reliable. Both the radial bearing body 1 and the axial bearing body 2 are used to be installed on the fuel tank 5, so that the bracket and the fuel tank 5 have a sufficiently large connection area along both the radial and axial directions of the FTIV valve 4, achieving a reliable connection. This reliably fixes the FTIV valve 4 to the fuel tank 5. Under harsh driving conditions or when subjected to severe vibration, the FTIV valve 4 is not easy to slip off the fuel tank 5, which can enhance the mechanical strength and stability of the assembly between the FTIV valve 4 and the fuel tank 5 and reduce safety hazards.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the radial load-bearing body 1 have outwardly protruding reinforcing plates 6, which are fitted and connected to the axial load-bearing body 2. During vehicle operation or equipment operation, when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, the force is transmitted to the support from all directions. The reinforcing plates 6, as an additional support structure, form a more stable mechanical frame through their close fit with the axial load-bearing body 2. From a mechanical point of view, it can increase the bending section modulus of the radial load-bearing body 1, enabling it to withstand greater lateral bending forces, effectively dispersing the impact forces from the outside, and preventing the radial load-bearing body 1 from deforming or being damaged due to excessive force. This can significantly improve the overall structural strength of the support, further enhance the stability of the connection between the FTIV valve 4 and the fuel tank 5, and reduce the risk of the FTIV valve 4 loosening or slipping due to support deformation.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system also includes an arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7, which is disposed on the reinforcing plate 6 and located on the side of the reinforcing plate 6 away from the axial load-bearing body 2. The opening of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7 faces the radial load-bearing body 1, and the end of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7 is connected to the radial load-bearing body 1. The upper end face of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7 is located below the upper end face of the radial load-bearing body 1 to avoid affecting the FTIV valve 4. The arc-shaped structure has unique mechanical performance advantages. When external force is applied to the support, the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7 can disperse and transmit the force along its arc shape. It is like the arch structure of a bridge, converting the pressure from the outside into tension along the arc, and evenly transmitting it to the radial load-bearing body 1 and the reinforcing plate 6. This can reduce local stress concentration and enhance the compressive strength of the entire support in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the radial load-bearing body 1. The arc-shaped reinforcing rib 7, in conjunction with the reinforcing plate 6, can further enhance the impact resistance and vibration resistance of the support.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the axial load-bearing body 2 includes a support frame 2-1 and a connecting beam 2-2. The support frame 2-1 is mounted on the radial load-bearing body 1, and its length direction is along the width direction of the radial load-bearing body 1. The connecting beam 2-2 is mounted on the radial load-bearing body 1 and located inside the support frame 2-1. The end of the connecting beam 2-2 is connected to the support frame 2-1, and its length direction is the same as that of the radial load-bearing body 1. The support frame 2-1 constrains the radial load-bearing body 1 axially, while the connecting beam 2-2 constrains it radially, distributing external forces evenly across the radial load-bearing body 1. This reduces the material usage of the axial load-bearing body 2 and saves costs while ensuring a reliable connection between the support and the fuel tank 5.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple connecting beams 2-2, all of which are arranged along the length of the support frame 2-1. The multiple connecting beams 2-2 work together to make the connection between the support frame 2-1 and the radial load-bearing body 1 more robust and reliable.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the FTIV valve 4 has a first positioning block 12 and a second positioning block 13, and also includes a first limiting block 8, a second limiting block 9, a first locking member 10, and a second locking member 11. The first limiting block 8 is disposed at one end of the radial bearing body 1, and the first positioning block 12 is used to overlap with the first limiting block 8. The second limiting block 9 is disposed at the other end of the radial bearing body 1, and the FTIV valve 4 is used to snap between the first limiting block 8 and the second limiting block 9. The second positioning block 13 is used to overlap with the second limiting block 9. The first positioning block 12 and the first limiting block 8 are locked together by means of the first locking member 10. The second positioning block 13 and the second limiting block 9 are locked together by means of the second locking member 11.
[0042] When the FTIV valve 4 is snapped between the first limiting block 8 and the second limiting block 9, the first positioning block 12 overlaps with the first limiting block 8, and the second positioning block 13 overlaps with the second limiting block 9. The first positioning block 12 and the first limiting block 8 are locked together by the first locking member 10, and the second positioning block 13 and the second limiting block 9 are locked together by the second locking member 11. This multi-positioning and locking structure precisely constrains the FTIV valve 4 from multiple contact points, which can limit its small radial and axial displacements. It ensures that the FTIV valve 4 always remains in the predetermined installation position under conditions of vibration and shaking, which can greatly improve the accuracy and firmness of the installation of the FTIV valve 4. Even in extreme and harsh environments, it can ensure that the FTIV valve 4 is tightly connected to the bracket and will not loosen or fall off, which can further reduce safety hazards.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the system also includes a cable management plate 14, which is mounted on the radial support body 1 and located at one end near the second limiting block 9. The cable management plate 14 has cable management holes 15, the axial direction of which is along the length of the radial support body 1. During the operation of the FTIV valve 4, cables connected to it are typically used to transmit signals or power. If these cables are scattered, they are prone to interference and friction with other components during equipment vibration or operation, potentially leading to cable damage or short circuits. The cable management plate 14 uses the cable management holes 15 to centrally organize and fix the cables, arranging them in an orderly manner along a predetermined direction. This standardizes the cable layout, protects the cables from external damage, avoids potential risks caused by cable tangling, and ensures stable and reliable electrical or signal connections related to the FTIV valve 4. Simultaneously, it facilitates the retrieval and management of cables during subsequent equipment maintenance and repair, improving work efficiency and ensuring the orderly operation of the entire system.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are two protruding connecting ribs 16 on the outer wall of the first limiting block 8, arranged along the width direction of the radial bearing body 1. One end of the connecting rib 16 is connected to the radial bearing body 1, and the other end of the connecting rib 16 is flush with the end face of the first limiting block 8 away from the radial bearing body 1. The two connecting ribs 16 connect the first limiting block 8 and the radial bearing body 1 together, making the connection between the first limiting block 8 and the radial bearing body 1 more secure and reliable.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a connecting nut 17, which is embedded in the first limiting block 8, and the first locking member 10 is threadedly connected to the connecting nut 17. There is no need to specially machine threads on the first limiting block 8; the connecting nut 17 can be directly placed inside the first limiting block 8, making it simpler and more convenient.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting block 8 has a coaxially arranged mounting groove 19, a communicating groove 20, and a recessed groove 21. The diameter of the communicating groove 20 is smaller than the diameters of the mounting groove 19 and the recessed groove 21. The recessed groove 21 is located on the periphery of one end of the communicating groove 20 and communicates with the communicating groove 20. The other end of the communicating groove 20 communicates with the mounting groove 19. The connecting nut 17 is disposed in the mounting groove 19. The block also includes a limiting nut 22 and a connecting rod 23. The limiting nut 22 is disposed on the first limiting block 8 and located in the recessed groove 21. One end of the connecting rod 23 is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 22. The other end of the connecting rod 23 passes through the communicating groove 20 and is connected to the end of the connecting nut 17 near the limiting nut 22. The first locking member 10 is threadedly connected to the other end of the connecting nut 17. The limiting nut 22 and the connecting rod 23 cooperate to make the connection between the connecting nut 17 and the first limiting block 8 more secure and reliable. The portion of the first limiting block 8 located between the mounting groove 19 and the recess 21 can provide support and limit for the connecting nut 17 and the limiting nut 22.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the radial load-bearing body 1 has a weight-reducing groove 18, which is located on the same side of the radial load-bearing body 1 as the positioning groove 3. Under the premise of ensuring the overall structural strength of the support meets the requirements, by reasonably setting the weight-reducing groove 18, the weight of the support itself can be reduced without affecting the key load-bearing parts. This achieves lightweighting of the support, reduces raw material costs, and improves product competitiveness.
