[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 The present invention describes a suspension bracket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and also provides a suspension system, and further, a vehicle.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the suspension bracket 100 of this utility model embodiment includes: bracket body 10 and auxiliary bracket 20.

[0032] The bracket body 10 is provided with a first mounting part 11 and a second mounting part 12. The first mounting part 11 is connected to the vehicle frame, and the second mounting part 12 is connected to the engine. The first mounting part 11 is provided with two third mounting holes 111. Fasteners are passed through the third mounting holes 111 to fix the bracket body 10 to the vehicle frame, thereby integrating the suspension bracket 100 with other components in the suspension system. The second mounting part 12 is provided with four fourth mounting holes 121. Fasteners are passed through the multiple fourth mounting holes 121 to fix the engine block to the second mounting part 12, thereby integrating the engine with other components in the suspension system.

[0033] Among them, the fastener can be a bolt.

[0034] An auxiliary bracket 20 is disposed on one side of the bracket body 10 and fixedly connected to the bracket body 10. The auxiliary bracket 20 is provided with a third mounting part 21, which is used to install the air conditioning compressor. This enables the integration of the air conditioning compressor with the engine, meeting the layout requirements of the engine powertrain. By adding the auxiliary bracket 20 to the left side of the original bracket body 10, the air conditioning compressor is integrated with the engine. The air conditioning compressor does not need to be designed with multiple structural states for special engine shapes; a general-purpose air conditioning compressor can be used, reducing the overall vehicle development cost, shortening the development cycle, and increasing the generalization rate of the suspension bracket 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, the suspension bracket 100 can be made of cast steel (ZGD650-830). An auxiliary bracket 20 is added to the original bracket body 10, and the auxiliary bracket 20 is connected to the bracket body 10 by welding. In this way, the suspension bracket 100 has high strength and high load-bearing capacity, can meet the high strength requirements of vehicles, provides more reliable support, and can maintain stable performance even under long-term use and harsh working conditions, thereby extending the service life of the suspension bracket 100 and reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance.

[0036] Furthermore, cast steel can be designed into complex structures that better meet engineering requirements, eliminating the need for multiple welding or machining to achieve complex shapes. The excellent weldability of cast steel allows for easy repair of the bracket in case of localized damage during use, avoiding complete replacement. Compared to other high-performance materials, the manufacturing cost is relatively low. The casting process results in high production efficiency, especially for mass production, effectively reducing production costs. Additionally, the addition of a rubber bushing inner tube to the suspension bracket 100 in this embodiment improves its vibration damping effect.

[0037] The third mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 12 are arranged on the same plane. On the one hand, the relative position of the third mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 12 depends on the engine structure. The fact that the third mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 12 are arranged on the same plane can meet the arrangement requirements of the engine and the compressor. On the other hand, the fact that the third mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 12 are arranged on the same plane makes the suspension structure simpler, easier to manufacture and assemble, and can be standardized and mass-produced. In addition, the stress on the main body of the bracket and the auxiliary bracket 20 is more uniform, and the structure is less likely to generate local excessive stress, thereby extending the service life of the bracket.

[0038] Therefore, by adding an auxiliary bracket 20 to the bracket body 10, and with the third mounting part 21 of the auxiliary bracket 20 and the second mounting part 12 of the bracket body 10 disposed on the same plane, the air conditioning compressor and the engine can be integrated using the suspension bracket 100, thereby improving the versatility of the suspension bracket 100.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the third mounting part 21 includes a support part 22 and a limiting part 23. The support part 22 has an arc-shaped structure and is used to place the air conditioner compressor. The arc-shaped structure is adapted to the cylindrical side wall surface of the air conditioner compressor, so that the air conditioner compressor can be stably assembled in the third mounting part 21. The limiting part 23 is provided at both ends of the support part 22. The limiting part 23 can be a limiting block. The limiting part 23 is higher than the support part 22. After the air conditioner compressor is placed in the support part 22, the limiting part 23 is used to limit the position of the air conditioner compressor and prevent the air conditioner compressor from shaking.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the support part 22 includes two support plates 24 and a first reinforcing plate 25. The two support plates 24 are spaced apart and fixedly connected to the limiting part 23, and the reinforcing plate is disposed between the two support plates 24. That is, the two elongated support plates 24 serve as the main support structure for the air conditioner compressor, and the first reinforcing plate 25 is used to strengthen the strength of the two support plates 24. The support part 22 has a hollow structure, which not only supports the air conditioner compressor but also reduces manufacturing costs, making the support part 22 lighter.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the third mounting part 21 further includes a first fixing part 26 and a second fixing part 27. The first fixing part 26 and the second fixing part 27 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support part 22 and fixedly connected to the limiting part 23. The first fixing part 26 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 10. The third mounting part 21 fixes the air conditioning compressor through the first fixing part 26 and the second fixing part 27. The first fixing part 26 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 10, thereby integrating the air conditioning compressor with the engine. The second fixing part 27 is provided with mounting holes for fixed connection with other structures in the suspension system.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 10 also includes a fourth mounting part 13, which is disposed on one side of the second mounting part 12 and fixedly connected to the first fixing part 26. The fourth mounting part 13 has a fifth mounting hole 131 for fixing the auxiliary bracket 20. After the air conditioning compressor is installed on the auxiliary bracket 20, fasteners pass through the first fixing part 26 and the fourth mounting part 13 to fix the auxiliary bracket 20 to the bracket body 10, thus connecting the air conditioning compressor to the engine. The fasteners can be bolts, and the fifth mounting hole 131 on the fourth mounting part 13 can be two M10 threaded holes.

[0043] Reference Figures 4-5 As shown, the auxiliary bracket 20 also includes a fifth mounting part 28, which is disposed on one side of the third mounting part 21 and fixedly connected to the third mounting part 21. The fifth mounting part 28 is disposed on the left side of the third mounting part 21, and the connection between the fifth mounting part 28 and the third mounting part 21 is by welding.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the fifth mounting part 28 is provided with a first mounting hole 29, which is used to fix the tension idler pulley. There can be two first mounting holes 29, which are spaced apart on the fifth mounting part 28. The tension idler pulley can be fixed to the fifth mounting part 28 by passing a long bolt through the two first mounting holes 29. The output shaft of the air conditioning compressor is connected to the output shaft of the engine gearbox through a pulley mechanism, and the outer side of the drive belt of the pulley mechanism is wrapped around a portion of the tension idler pulley. The tension idler pulley is used to maintain the belt with appropriate tension in the belt drive system of the engine powertrain, to prevent the belt from being too loose or too tight, to reduce the friction between the belt and the pulley, and to reduce the frequency of vehicle maintenance.

[0045] Furthermore, the fifth mounting part 28 is also provided with a second mounting hole 30. The second mounting hole 30 can be an elongated hole. The position of the tension idler wheel can be adjusted through the second mounting hole 30, which can adapt to the arrangement of engines, air conditioning compressors and other components with different structures, further improving the versatility of the suspension bracket 100.

[0046] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, the bracket body is provided with a second reinforcing plate 14, which is disposed between the first mounting part 11 and the second mounting part 12. The second reinforcing plate 14 can be a reinforcing rib connecting the first mounting part 11 and the second mounting part 12. By increasing the material between the first mounting part 11 and the second mounting part 12, the reinforcing rib enhances the rigidity of the structure, making it less prone to deformation under load. After the rigidity is enhanced, the bracket body 10 can better maintain its design shape and function, avoiding bending, deformation or twisting, and helping to prevent fracture or damage caused by excessive local stress. Without increasing the amount of material, the structural strength is enhanced, which can reduce the use of raw materials, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the vehicle.

[0047] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the suspension system includes: an engine, a compressor, a tension idler wheel, a suspension pad, and a suspension bracket 100, wherein the engine, compressor, tension idler wheel, suspension pad, and suspension bracket 100 are fixedly connected.

[0048] The vehicle according to a third aspect of the present invention includes the above-described suspension system.
