[0030] Example: Figures 1-7 As shown, a vehicle-mounted ECU mounting housing structure includes a housing 100. A support platform 200 is fixedly mounted on the housing 100. A mounting ear assembly 300 and a spring-loaded tab 400 are fixedly mounted on the support platform 200. The mounting ear assembly 300 includes a first mounting ear 310 and a second mounting ear 330. The spring-loaded tab 400 is located between the first mounting ear 310 and the second mounting ear 330. A first end of the spring-loaded tab 400 is fixedly connected to the support platform 200, and a second end of the spring-loaded tab 400 is a free end. There is a gap between the spring-loaded tab 400 and the support platform 200. A protrusion 410 is provided on the upper surface of the spring-loaded tab 400. When a bracket buckle 600 is inserted into the mounting ear assembly 300, the protrusion 410 is engaged in the slot 610 of the bracket buckle 600.

[0031] In this application, a hanging ear assembly 300 and a spring-loaded tab 400 are added to the housing 100. In use, the bracket buckle 600 is directly inserted into the hanging ear assembly 300. The bracket buckle 600 acts on the protrusion 410 of the spring-loaded tab 400, causing the spring-loaded tab 400 to bend downwards to avoid obstruction until the bracket buckle 600 is fully inserted into the hanging ear assembly 300. At this time, the protrusion 410 on the spring-loaded tab 400 is aligned with the slot 610 of the bracket buckle 600. The spring-loaded tab 400 returns to its original position, and the protrusion 410 is engaged in the slot 610 to fix the housing structure to the bracket buckle 600. In disassembly, the spring-loaded tab 400 is pressed down to disengage the protrusion 410 from the slot 610, and then the housing structure is removed from the bracket buckle 600. In this application, the outer shell structure utilizes the elasticity of the spring tongue 400 to quickly install into the bracket buckle 600 of the vehicle body. Through the mutual cooperation of the protrusion 410 and the slot 610, the outer shell structure is firmly connected to the bracket buckle 600, thereby improving the installation strength and installation stability of the outer shell structure. This application has a simple structure, low processing cost, and high installation stability, and has strong practicality.

That is, the third support plate 430 is located below the elastic tongue piece 400, and a gap with a certain width is formed between the third support plate 430 and the elastic tongue piece 400, which can not only ensure that the elastic tongue piece 400 has a certain elastic deformation space, but also can prevent the elastic tongue piece 400 from being deformed too much and affecting normal use.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the housing 100 is fixedly provided with a guide piece 500, the guide piece 500 is provided with a guide groove 510, the guide piece 500 is close to the first end of the elastic tongue piece 400, the width of the guide groove 510 is H1, the width of the bracket buckle 600 is H2, and H1 is equal to or greater than H2. When assembling, the bracket buckle 600 is first inserted into the guide groove 510, and through the guidance of the guide groove 510, the bracket buckle 600 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the ear hanging assembly 300. The distance between the guide piece 500 and the ear hanging assembly 300 can be freely adjusted as needed, and all inclined surfaces are close to the guide piece 500. The housing 100 is provided with a plug-in port 110, in one possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the guide piece 500 is close to the plug-in port 110, and the ear hanging assembly 300 is located on the side of the guide piece 500 away from the plug-in port 110; in another possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the ear hanging assembly 300 is close to the plug-in port 110, and the guide piece 500 is located on the side of the ear hanging assembly 300 away from the plug-in port 110

[0040] Optionally, the distance between the first lug 310 and the second lug 330 is H3, that is, the distance between the inner side wall of the first side plate 311 and the inner side wall of the second side plate 331 is H3, the width of the bracket buckle 600 is H2, and the H3 is equal to or greater than the H2. The distance between the first lug 310 and the second lug 330 is designed to be equal to or slightly greater than the width of the bracket buckle 600, which can prevent the bracket buckle 600 from shaking left and right after being loaded into the lug assembly 300.

[0041] The shell structure in the application is simple, easy to process and low in cost, is simpler than the screw locking structure, is more stable and reliable than the combination structure of the rubber sleeve, saves the in-vehicle layout space compared with the installation mode placed in the installation shell, and is more convenient and fast to assemble due to the presence of the guide groove 510.
