"Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have sequential or important meanings.
[0029] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected", "connected", "mounted" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, according to one aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 is provided, including two connecting beams 10 and a plurality of mounting beams 20. The two connecting beams 10 are spaced apart in a left-right direction (e.g., the left-right direction of a vehicle 1000), and each connecting beam 10 extends in a front-rear direction (e.g., the front-rear direction of a vehicle 1000). The front end of each connecting beam 10 can be used to connect to the bumper 200 of the vehicle 1000, and the rear end of each connecting beam 10 can be used to connect to the frame 300 of the vehicle 1000. The plurality of mounting beams 20 are all located between the two connecting beams 10, and both ends of each mounting beam 20 are respectively connected to the two connecting beams 10. The plurality of mounting beams 20 are spaced apart in a front-rear direction, and each mounting beam 20 is provided with a winch mounting part 30 for mounting a vehicle winch 400.
[0031] Through the above technical solution, since each mounting beam 20 is provided with a winch mounting part 30 for mounting the vehicle winch 400, the vehicle winch 400 can be installed on the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 through the winch mounting part 30. Furthermore, since the multiple mounting beams 20 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, i.e., there is a gap between adjacent mounting beams 20, this facilitates the leakage of mud and rainwater through the gaps, preventing the accumulation of mud and rainwater on the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 from affecting the function of the vehicle winch 400, thereby ensuring the normal use of the vehicle winch 400.
[0032] Furthermore, the front end of each connecting beam 10 can be used to connect to the bumper 200, and the rear end of each connecting beam 10 can be used to connect to the frame 300, so that the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 can be used as part of the vehicle body structure, connected between the bumper 200 and the frame 300 and can be used to install the vehicle winch 400. Since the above installation does not require modification of the vehicle body structure, when the bumper 200 is hit, the connecting beam 10 can effectively transfer the impact force from the bumper 200 to the frame 300, which is beneficial for the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 provided in this disclosure to ensure the collision performance of the vehicle 1000 and the strength of the vehicle body structure.
[0033] Optionally, the winch mounting portion 30 can be a welding platform embedded in the top of the mounting beam 20, which can be welded to the bottom of the vehicle winch 400. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the winch mounting portion 30 can also be a threaded sleeve, with bolts passing through the vehicle winch 400 and threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve. This disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the winch mounting portion 30, as long as it can achieve the connection with the vehicle winch 400.
[0034] Optional, such as Figure 2As shown, each connecting beam 10 may be provided with a crumple zone 11. When the bumper 200 is impacted, on the one hand, the connecting beam 10 can transfer the impact force from the bumper 200 to the frame 300, and on the other hand, the connecting beam 10 can crumple to absorb the impact force, so that the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 provided in this disclosure can ensure the collision performance of the vehicle 1000 without affecting the strength of the vehicle body structure.
[0035] Furthermore, this disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the collapsible portion 11. As one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the crumple zone 11 can be formed in a crumple hole on the connecting beam 10. In other embodiments, the crumple zone 11 can also be a crumple groove, a crumple guide rib, etc., formed on the connecting beam 10.
[0036] The mounting beam 20 can have any suitable shape and structure, as one implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting beam 20 is formed as a downwardly recessed structure. The mounting beam 20 includes a mounting section 21 and connecting sections 22 located at both ends of the mounting section 21. The winch mounting part 30 is disposed on the mounting section 21. The first end of the connecting section 22 is connected to the mounting section 21, and the second end of the connecting section 22 is connected to the connecting beam 10. The height of the mounting section 21 is lower than the height of the second end of the connecting section 22. That is, the height of the mounting section 21 is lower than the height of the connecting beam 10, and the connecting section 22 connects the mounting section 21 and the connecting beam 10.
[0037] Since the mounting section 21 and the connecting section 22 form a downwardly recessed structure, and the winch mounting part 30 is provided on the mounting section 21, the vehicle winch 400 installed on the winch mounting part 30 can be located at least partially in the recessed structure of the mounting beam 20. This is beneficial for the vehicle winch 400 to avoid other structures of the vehicle 1000 in the height direction, and also helps to increase the installation space of the vehicle winch 400 in the height direction, so that the winch mounting part 30 can install a larger size vehicle winch 400.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, along the direction from the first end of the connecting segment 22 to the second end of the connecting segment 22, the distance between two adjacent connecting segments 22 gradually decreases in the front-back direction.
[0039] Since the first end of the connecting segment 22 is connected to the connecting beam 10, and the second end of the connecting segment 22 is connected to the mounting segment 21, the distance between two adjacent connecting segments 22 gradually decreases in the longitudinal direction from the first end to the second end of the connecting segment 22. This allows for an increase in the longitudinal spacing between two adjacent mounting segments 21 without increasing the length of the connecting beam 10. Consequently, the winch mounting portion 30 can support the vehicle winch 400 over a wider area, making the vehicle winch 400 mounted on the winch mounting portion 30 more stable. Furthermore, since the aforementioned beneficial effects can be achieved without increasing the length of the connecting beam 10, it also helps maintain a suitable longitudinal spacing between the frame 300 and the bumper 200.
[0040] This disclosure does not limit the construction of the mounting section 21 and the connecting section 22. As one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting section 21 can be formed into a flat tubular structure, and the connecting section 22 can be formed into a circular tubular structure.
[0041] The connecting section 22 is formed into a cylindrical structure, which allows it to have good mechanical properties in multiple directions (such as the radial direction), thereby improving the connection reliability between the vehicle winch 400 and the vehicle 1000 installed in the winch mounting part 30. The mounting section 21 is formed into a flat tubular structure, facilitating the installation of the winch mounting part 30 on the mounting section 21 and providing more space for the installation of the vehicle winch 400 in the height direction.
[0042] As one implementation method, both the mounting section 21 and the connecting section 22 are hollow tubular structures, which helps to reduce the weight of the connecting section 22 and the mounting section 21, thereby contributing to the lightweighting of the vehicle 1000.
[0043] In other embodiments, both the mounting section 21 and the connecting section 22 may be formed as solid rod-shaped structures to improve the structural strength of the mounting section 21 and the connecting section 22.
[0044] To improve the rigidity of the mounting section 21, as one implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, a reinforcing plate 40 connects two adjacent mounting sections 21, and the reinforcing plate 40 has weight-reducing holes 41. Under the action of the reinforcing plate 40, the shaking between two adjacent mounting sections 21 can be reduced, thereby helping to improve the rigidity of the mounting section 21.
[0045] The weight-reducing holes 41 on the reinforcing plate 40 help to reduce the weight of the reinforcing plate 40 and allow rainwater and dust to leak down, thus preventing rainwater and dust from accumulating on the reinforcing plate 40.
[0046] This disclosure does not limit the connection structure between the connecting beam 10 and the mounting beam 20. For example, the connecting beam 10 may be integrally formed with the mounting beam 20, or welded to the mounting beam 20, or connected to the mounting beam 20 by fasteners. As one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each connecting beam 10 has an insertion hole 12. The two ends of the mounting beam 20 are inserted into the insertion holes 12 on the two connecting beams 10 respectively and are fixed to the connecting beams 10. Since the two ends of the mounting beam 20 are inserted into the insertion holes 12 on the two connecting beams 10 respectively, when the mounting beam 20 is subjected to a force along its own radial direction (such as the weight of the vehicle winch 400), the connecting beam 10 and the mounting beam 20 are not easily separated, which is beneficial for the mounting beam 20 to have a good load-bearing capacity for the vehicle winch 400.
[0047] Optionally, the two ends of the mounting beam 20 can be fixed to the connecting beam 10 by welding to the end face and / or inner wall of the insertion hole 12.
[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, each connecting beam 10 may be provided with a collapsible portion 11, which is offset from the insertion hole 12 in the front-back direction. This arrangement helps to avoid the local low strength of the connecting beam 10 caused by the concentration of the collapsible portion 11 and the insertion hole 12, and also helps to prevent the mounting beam 20 in the insertion hole 12 from obstructing the collapse of the collapsible portion 11.
[0049] This disclosure does not limit the connection structure between the connecting beam 10 and the bumper 200 and the frame 300. As one embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, each connecting beam 10 has a first connecting plate 13 and a second connecting plate 14 at both ends. The first connecting plate 13 has a first connecting hole 131, and the second connecting plate 14 has a second connecting hole 141. The first connecting hole 131 can be used to connect with the bumper 200, and the second connecting hole 141 can be used to connect with the frame 300. In other words, the first connecting plate 13 can be connected to the front bumper 200 by fasteners passing through the first connecting hole 131 and the corresponding connecting hole on the bumper 200, thereby connecting the front end of the connecting beam 10 to the bumper 200. Similarly, the second connecting plate 14 can be connected to the front bumper 200 by fasteners passing through the second connecting hole 141 and the corresponding connecting hole on the frame 300, thereby connecting the rear end of the connecting beam 10 to the frame 300.
[0050] This design facilitates the connection between the connecting beam 10 and the bumper 200 and the frame 300. Furthermore, it allows for easy removal and repair or replacement of the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 should it be damaged.
[0051] In this disclosure, the first connecting hole 131 and the second connecting hole 141 can be set to any suitable number according to actual needs. This disclosure does not limit this. For example, the number of second mounting holes on each second connecting plate 14 can be set to eight, and the second mounting holes can be constructed to allow M12 bolts to pass through, so that there is good connection strength between the connecting beam 10 and the frame 300.
[0052] In another embodiment, the two ends of the connecting beam 10 are respectively provided with a first welding plate and a second welding plate. The first welding plate is used to weld to the bumper 200, and the second welding plate is used to weld to the frame 300.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 also includes a rope limiting structure 50, which is mounted on the foremost mounting beam 20 among a plurality of mounting beams 20. The rope limiting structure 50 is provided with a limiting hole 51 for the rope of the vehicle winch 400 to pass through, and the limiting hole 51 extends in the left-right direction.
[0054] Since the rope limiting structure 50 is installed on the foremost mounting beam 20 among the multiple mounting beams 20, the rope of the vehicle winch 400 can pass through the limiting hole 51 of the rope limiting structure 50. This allows the limiting hole 51 to limit the portion of the rope near the vehicle winch 400, meaning that the portion of the rope near the vehicle winch 400 can only swing within the area of the limiting hole 51. This helps ensure the vehicle winch 400's ability to reel in and release the rope, and also helps prevent the rope from snagging or abrading other parts of the vehicle 1000 (such as the bumper 200).
[0055] Optionally, the rope limiting structure 50 can be detachably connected to the mounting beam 20, and can be replaced separately when the rope limiting structure 50 is severely worn.
[0056] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle 1000 is provided, including a bumper 200, a frame 300 and the aforementioned vehicle winch mounting bracket 100, wherein the front end of each connecting beam 10 is connected to the bumper 200 and the rear end of each connecting beam 10 is connected to the frame 300.
[0057] Since the front end of each connecting beam 10 is connected to the bumper 200 and the rear end of each connecting beam 10 is connected to the frame 300, the vehicle winch mounting bracket 100 can be used as part of the vehicle body structure, connected between the bumper 200 and the frame 300, and can be used to install the vehicle winch 400. Since the above installation does not require any modification to the vehicle body structure, when the bumper 200 is hit, the connecting beam 10 can effectively transfer the impact force from the bumper 200 to the frame 300, which helps to ensure the collision performance of the vehicle 1000 and the strength of the vehicle body structure.
[0058] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0059] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0060] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
