Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive water pump technology, and in particular to a water pump bracket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive water pump bracket assembly is an indispensable component of the water pump system, used to support and secure the water pump, ensuring stable operation and power transmission. Its main body is typically made of high-strength metals (such as cast iron or aluminum alloy) or engineering plastics, possessing good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and capable of withstanding the vibrations, pressures, and external forces generated during water pump operation. The bracket has precise mounting holes for a secure connection to the engine block, vehicle frame, and other basic structures, ensuring accurate installation and positioning of the water pump.

[0003] The applicant discovered through a search that a Chinese patent, "A Mounting Bracket for an Automobile Water Pump," with publication (announcement) number "CN221462409U," primarily uses a buffer mechanism. During use, the elasticity of springs one and two reduces fatigue damage to the bracket body caused by vibrations from the automobile water pump mounted on the connecting flange, thus extending the bracket's lifespan. Mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the bracket body to mount it to a suitable position on the vehicle. The mounting is reinforced by reinforcing rods and mounting holes two, ensuring sufficient stability. However, this mounting method is relatively fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the position and angle of the mounting bracket to adapt to different connection requirements for different automobiles or equipment models. Its versatility and applicability are relatively limited. Therefore, we propose a water pump bracket assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water pump bracket assembly, including a mounting mechanism and a docking and stabilizing mechanism disposed above it. The mounting mechanism includes a mounting base, and the mounting base has a insertion slot through a mounting bracket. Four sets of equidistant sliding grooves are formed through the surface of the mounting base near the edge. Each sliding groove is connected to an adjusting member through a sliding block. The outer wall of each adjusting member is threaded with a fastening nut. The adjusting member has a mounting hole for connection with a vehicle through the mounting bracket.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the mounting base, the insertion slot is opened on the inner wall of the mounting bracket, and the upper surface of the mounting bracket is provided with four sets of first threaded holes.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, the adjusting member is fixedly installed inside the sliding block, and the fastening nut is located at the bottom of the mounting base.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adjusting member, the bottom of the mounting bracket abuts against the upper end of the sliding block, and the mounting hole penetrates through the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting bracket.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the docking stabilizing mechanism includes a docking frame and four sets of fixing frames. Four sets of plug-in blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the docking frame at equal intervals. The size of the four sets of plug-in blocks is adapted to the plug-in slot. A water pump mounting flange is fixedly installed at the upper end of the docking frame. Four sets of mounting bolts are threadedly connected to the surface of the water pump mounting flange near the edge. The mounting bolts are threadedly connected to the first threaded hole.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the four sets of fixing brackets are respectively fixedly installed at equal intervals on the upper surface of the mounting base near the edge. Each of the four sets of fixing brackets has a second threaded hole through its side near the upper end. An adjusting threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the second threaded hole. A mating sleeve is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the inner end of the adjusting threaded rod. A stabilizing arc-shaped piece is fixedly installed at the inner end of the mating sleeve. A flexible pad for protecting the water pump is fixedly installed at the inner end of the stabilizing arc-shaped piece.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Through the designed installation mechanism, the mounting base has a slot for insertion through the mounting bracket, providing a precise positioning structure for the installation of the water pump.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 The water pump bracket assembly includes a mounting mechanism 1 and a docking and stabilizing mechanism 2 disposed above it. The mounting mechanism 1 includes a mounting base 101. The mounting base 101 has a plug-in groove 104 through a mounting bracket 103. The surface of the mounting base 101 has four sets of equidistant sliding grooves 102 through it near the edge. Each sliding groove 102 is connected to an adjusting member 105 through a sliding block 106. The outer wall of the adjusting member 105 is threaded with a fastening nut 107. The adjusting member 105 has a mounting hole 109 for connecting to a car through a mounting bracket 108.

[0025] The sliding connection between the sliding block 106 and the sliding groove 102, and the rotational connection between the adjusting component 105 and the mounting bracket 108, provide flexible adjustment while ensuring a stable connection between the mounting bracket 108 and the mounting base 101 after adjustment by tightening the fastening nut 107. This design not only meets the flexible adjustment requirements during installation, but also ensures the stability of the bracket during pump operation after installation, effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration and other factors, ensuring the safety and reliability of pump operation, and extending the service life of the pump bracket assembly and the pump.

[0026] Mounting bracket 103 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of mounting base 101. Insertion groove 104 is opened on the inner wall of mounting bracket 103. Four sets of first threaded holes 110 are opened on the upper surface of mounting bracket 103. Sliding block 106 is slidably connected to the inside of sliding groove 102. Adjusting component 105 is fixedly installed inside sliding block 106. Fastening nut 107 is located at the bottom of mounting base 101.

[0027] Mounting bracket 103 is fixed in the middle of mounting base 101. Insertion groove 104 is set on the inner wall of mounting bracket 103, making the water pump installation area concentrated and regular. Sliding groove 102 is distributed on the edge of mounting base 101, and adjusting parts 105, mounting bracket 108 and other components are arranged around it. While realizing the adjustment function, it does not occupy too much space, which is conducive to installation in limited car or equipment space, and also facilitates integration and assembly with other components.

[0028] Mounting bracket 108 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of adjusting member 105. The bottom of mounting bracket 108 abuts against the upper end of sliding block 106. Mounting hole 109 penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of mounting bracket 108.

[0029] The space between the adjusting member 105 and the sliding block 106 allows the mounting bracket 108 to rotate freely along the outer wall of the adjusting member 105.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting base 101 has a insertion slot 104 through the mounting bracket 103, providing a precise positioning structure for the installation of the water pump. This allows for quick insertion and installation of the water pump, significantly improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the four sets of equidistant sliding grooves 102 on the surface of the mounting base 101, together with the adjusting component 105, sliding block 106, and fastening nut 107, allow the position of the mounting bracket 108 to be flexibly adjusted. When dealing with different models of automobiles or equipment, the position of the mounting bracket 108 on the sliding groove 102 can be adjusted, and the angle can be adjusted by rotating the mounting bracket 108. Then, the fastening nut 107 can be used to fix it, so that the mounting hole 109 can be adapted to different connection requirements, greatly enhancing the versatility and applicability of the water pump bracket assembly.

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 6 - Appendix Figure 8 The docking stabilizing mechanism 2 includes a docking frame 201 and four sets of fixing frames 205. Four sets of plug-in blocks 202 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the docking frame 201. The size of the four sets of plug-in blocks 202 is adapted to the plug-in slot 104. A water pump mounting flange 203 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the docking frame 201. Four sets of mounting bolts 204 are threadedly connected to the surface of the water pump mounting flange 203 near the edge. The mounting bolts 204 are threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 110.

[0032] The connection between the plug block 202 and the plug slot 104, along with the connection between the mounting bolt 204 and the first threaded hole 110, makes the water pump mounting flange 203 more stable.

[0033] Four sets of fixing brackets 205 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the upper surface of the mounting base 101 near the edge. Each of the four sets of fixing brackets 205 has a second threaded hole 206 through it on the side near the upper end. The inner thread of the second threaded hole 206 is connected to an adjusting threaded rod 207. The inner end of the adjusting threaded rod 207 is rotatably connected to a mating sleeve 209. The inner end of the mating sleeve 209 is fixedly installed with a stabilizing arc-shaped piece 208. The inner end of the stabilizing arc-shaped piece 208 is fixedly installed with a flexible pad 210 for protecting the water pump.

[0034] Whether it's water pumps of different sizes or minor displacements caused by vibration during pump operation, the adjustment of the threaded rod 207 can flexibly address these issues, effectively improving the adaptability and versatility of the water pump bracket assembly for various water pumps.

[0035] Specifically, the insertion block 202 on the outer wall of the docking bracket 201 is precisely matched with the insertion slot 104 of the mounting bracket 103, achieving rapid and accurate positioning and docking, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the pump bracket and pump installation. At the same time, the pump mounting flange 203 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 110 through the mounting bolt 204. The double fixing method ensures a stable connection between the pump and the bracket assembly. During pump operation, it can effectively resist vibration and external impact, prevent the pump from loosening or shifting, and ensure stable pump operation. The position of the stabilizing arc plate 208 can be flexibly adjusted through the adjusting threaded rod 207 in the second threaded hole 206 to easily accommodate pumps of different sizes. The flexible pad 210 at the inner end of the stabilizing arc plate 208 can not only buffer the vibration generated by the pump operation, but also prevent the bracket from directly contacting the pump and causing wear, thus playing a good protective role.

[0036] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a water pump bracket assembly. Based on the actual requirements of the water pump installation position on the vehicle, a sliding block 106 slides within the sliding groove 102. Since the adjusting component 105 is fixedly installed inside the sliding block 106, the adjusting component 105 moves along with the sliding block 106. Simultaneously, the mounting bracket 108 is rotated. Because the mounting bracket 108 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adjusting component 105, the angle of the mounting bracket 108 can be adjusted so that the mounting hole 109 aligns with the corresponding installation position on the vehicle. After the mounting bracket 108 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the fastening nut 107 located on the outer wall of the adjusting component 105 at the bottom of the mounting base 101 is tightened to fix the mounting bracket 108, ensuring a stable connection between the mounting mechanism 1 and the vehicle. The docking bracket 201 in the docking and stabilizing mechanism 2 is then lifted, and the four sets of insertion blocks 202 on its outer wall are aligned with the insertion slots 10 on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 103 in the mounting mechanism 1. 4. Then, insert the plug block 202 into the plug slot 104 to achieve initial docking and positioning of the docking frame 201 and the mounting frame 103. Use the mounting bolt 204 to pass through the surface of the water pump mounting flange 203 near the edge, and then thread it into the first threaded hole 110 on the upper surface of the mounting frame 103. Tighten the mounting bolt 204 to firmly connect the docking frame 201 and the mounting frame 103 together, and fix the water pump on the water pump mounting flange 203. Rotate the adjusting threaded rod 207 in the second threaded hole 206 on the side of the four sets of fixing brackets 205, and the stabilizing arc plate 208 will move towards the water pump. Continue to rotate the adjusting threaded rod 207 until the flexible pad 210 at the inner end of the stabilizing arc plate 208 is attached to the outer wall of the water pump. The four sets of stabilizing arc plates 208 work together to stabilize and protect the water pump.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
