Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] This utility model provides a generator bracket; please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2The generator bracket includes a support plate 1. Four connecting plates 2 for fixing the generator are provided on the edge of the support plate 1 end face. Each connecting plate 2 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support plate 1 and is perpendicular to the support plate 1. When the generator is installed on the support plate 1, the generator is positioned along the length of the support plate 1. The support plate 1 with the generator is connected to the outer wall of the engine via a fixing member 11. Furthermore, a mounting plate 3 is provided on the side of the support plate 1 near the generator input end, and a tensioning bracket 5 is provided on the mounting plate 3. It should be noted that a transmission belt connects the generator input end and the engine output end. In the belt drive, the end of the tension bracket 5 is in contact with the end face of the drive belt and abuts against the end face of the drive belt to deform the drive belt. The input end of the generator and the output end of the engine are in closer contact with the drive belt to prevent the drive belt from slipping. In addition, during the operation of the generator and engine, the drive belt will vibrate. The tension bracket 5 abuts against the drive belt and applies pressure to the drive belt. The stretched drive belt is not easily deformed, which prevents the vibration of the drive belt from causing transmission instability. Furthermore, a fixing bracket 4 is provided on the side adjacent to the bearing plate 1 and the mounting plate 3. The fixing bracket 4 is used to install the air conditioning compressor.
[0029] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 3 Each connecting plate 2 has a connecting hole 21 on its side facing away from the bearing plate 1. The connecting hole 21 extends perpendicularly to the bearing plate 1. Preferably, the generator outer wall has a connecting frame, specifically four connecting frames perpendicular to the input axis of the generator. A first connecting member 22 passes through each connecting frame and is threaded to the connecting hole 21, fixing the generator to each connecting plate 2. In addition, the bearing plate 1 has four mounting holes 12, which cooperate with each fixing member 11. It should be noted that the bearing plate 1 has a symmetry axis along its width direction, and there are two bearing plates 1 and two mounting holes 12 arranged along this symmetry axis. Two mounting holes 12 are located between two bearing plates 1, and the other two... Mounting hole 12 is located at one end of the support plate 1 away from mounting plate 3, and two other support plates 1 are located at one end of the support plate 1 close to mounting plate 3. In one embodiment of this application, the generator bracket is first connected to the outer wall of the engine through fixing member 11. Four first connecting members 22 are passed through the generator. Each first connecting member 22 is aligned with the connecting hole 21 of each connecting plate 2. Each first connecting member 22 is screwed on, and the bolt head of each first connecting member 22 clamps the connecting frame of the outer wall of the generator with the end face of the connecting plate 2, ensuring that the generator is installed stably. In addition, the installed generator will not block the fixing member 11 on the support plate 1, which makes it convenient for staff to check the fixing of the generator bracket. If the fixing member 11 becomes loose, it can be repaired in time.
[0030] A docking groove 41 is provided at the end of the fixed frame 4. A docking plate extends from the bearing plate 1 along its own width direction. The width of the docking plate is the same as the width of the docking groove 41. That is, the docking groove 41 is engaged with the bearing plate 1 through the docking plate. Furthermore, a second connecting member 42 is provided on both sides of the docking groove 41 away from the docking plate. The extension direction of each second connecting member 42 is the length direction of the bearing plate 1. Each second connecting member 42 passes through the side wall of the docking groove 41 and extends into the docking plate, further strengthening the connection strength between the bearing plate 1 and the fixed frame 4. In addition, a groove is provided on the end face of the fixed frame 4 near the connecting plate 2. The inner wall of the groove is specifically an arc surface. The axis of the arc surface is set along the length direction of the bearing plate 1. The inner wall of the groove fits against the air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor is engaged inside the groove and connected to the fixed frame 4 by a fastening pin.
[0031] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 4 The bearing plate 1 has a mounting plate 3 at its end, and the mounting plate 3 is specifically a circular plate. A fixing pin 31 is vertically provided at the center of the mounting plate 3. The fixing pin 31 fixes the mounting plate 3 to the end of the tensioning bracket 5. The width of the tensioning bracket 5 gradually decreases towards the side away from the fixing frame 4. A tensioning wheel 51 is rotatably provided at the gradually decreasing end of the tensioning bracket 5. The rotation axis of the tensioning wheel 51 is parallel to the output end of the engine. A transmission belt is provided between the generator input end and the engine output end. The tensioning bracket 5 causes the tensioning wheel 51 to abut against the transmission belt, causing the transmission belt to stretch and deform. The pressure applied by the inner side of the transmission belt to the generator and engine output ends increases. The transmission belt and the output end... The increased friction between the input and output ends prevents the drive belt from slipping when the engine or generator speed is too high. Furthermore, as the tensioner pulley 51 rotates with the drive belt, it applies pressure perpendicular to the sidewall of the drive belt, reducing vibration during operation. It should be noted that the positioning pin 32 and fixing pin 31 are arranged along the radius of the mounting plate 3, locking the angle of the tensioning bracket 5 relative to the mounting plate 3. This prevents the drive belt from applying elastic force to the tensioner pulley 51, causing the tensioning bracket 5 to rotate, reducing the pressure on the drive belt, and increasing the frequency of drive belt vibration.
[0032] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 4 With appendix Figure 5The bearing plate 1 is bent towards the generator from one end near the fixing frame 4, and the bearing plate 1 with the bent part is "C" shaped, so that the bearing plate 1 has a curved surface. In one embodiment of this application, the generator is specifically cylindrical, and the side wall of the generator cylinder is opposite to the curved surface of the bearing plate 1. When the generator is installed on each bearing plate 1, the side wall of the generator is placed in the curved groove formed by the curved surface. The distance between the generator and the bearing plate 1 is set to prevent the heat dissipation holes of the generator from being blocked by the bearing plate 1, which would affect the normal heat dissipation of the generator. In addition, the fixing frame 4 is set perpendicular to the connecting plate 2, so that the generator and the air conditioning compressor are neatly arranged on one side of the generator bracket, which improves the utilization rate of the vehicle frame bearing space and ensures that the load on the generator bracket is uniform. A fixing plate 6 is provided on the side edge of the bearing plate 1 away from the connecting plate 2. The fixing plate 6 is connected to a wire harness. The wire harness is used to fix the wire harness connected to the generator. The wire harness fixes each wire harness in a designated area to prevent the wire harness from being scattered and tangled on the input end of the generator.
[0033] Preferably, the generator bracket is made of cast aluminum, which reduces the load of the generator bracket's own weight on the vehicle frame. In addition, several "rice"-shaped reinforcing ribs are provided on the side wall of the bearing plate 1 and the fixing frame 4 near the engine. Each reinforcing rib is used to improve the load strength of the generator bracket. Moreover, during the production of the generator bracket, the "rice"-shaped reinforcing ribs are conducive to the uniform cooling of the casting and improve the production efficiency of the generator bracket.
[0034] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0035] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
