Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spare tire installation, specifically to a side-mounted installation structure for a car spare tire. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing bus model includes a floor, with longitudinal beams fixedly installed along its length and crossbeams fixedly installed along its width at the bottom end of the floor. The two ends of the crossbeams abut against the longitudinal beams on both sides of the floor and are fixedly welded. In addition, side skirts are fixedly installed on both sides below the floor. The side skirts can protect the tires and improve the appearance of the vehicle body. Side panels are fixedly installed on both sides above the floor. A bulge for mounting wheels is fixedly opened on the floor near the side panels.

[0003] CNG vehicles typically install their spare tires in the trunk to protect them from sun and rain and keep the vehicle interior clean. However, this method takes up trunk space, affecting the convenience of loading and unloading cargo in emergencies. Moreover, due to the special nature of their vehicle structure and spatial layout, trunk space is limited, further exacerbating this problem. In addition, when the spare tire is installed in the trunk, the trunk is often filled with heavy cargo, causing the spare tire mounting structure to be frequently subjected to friction and vibration, which can easily lead to loosening of the mounting structure and abnormal noises during driving, affecting passenger comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a side-mounted installation structure for a car spare tire to solve the problems of spare tires occupying cargo space and causing serious noise when installed in the trunk.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a side-mounted mounting structure for a car spare tire, including a mounting frame for fixed connection with the body, the mounting frame being provided with a plurality of brackets, at least one of the brackets being fixedly connected to a longitudinal beam, the mounting frame being provided with a mounting seat for fixing the spare tire, and the mounting frame hanging the spare tire on the side panel through the mounting seat.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: by setting up several brackets, which are fixedly connected to different parts of the vehicle body, the stability of the mounting bracket can be effectively increased. In addition, by fixing at least one of the brackets to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body, the stability of the mounting bracket structure is increased, thereby reducing the abnormal noise problem of the spare tire mounting structure.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the mounting bracket is provided with a first bracket whose two ends are fixedly connected to the vehicle body, at least one end of the first bracket is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam, and a second bracket whose bottom end is fixedly connected to the base plate, the first bracket and the second bracket being fixedly connected.

[0008] The beneficial effects are as follows: the first bracket is connected to the vehicle body at both ends, and the second bracket is connected to the vehicle body at one end, so that the mounting bracket has three brackets, which can increase the stability of the mounting bracket structure.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the first support includes a horizontally arranged first support plate, and two legs inclined at both ends of the first support plate, the first leg being fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam, and the second leg being fixedly connected to the bulge.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the second support includes a horizontally arranged second support plate and a second leg inclinedly arranged on the second support plate. The second leg is used for fixed connection with the floor, and the second support plate is fixedly connected with the first support plate.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, a first adapter plate for connecting with the first outrigger is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate near the longitudinal beam, a second adapter plate for connecting with the second outrigger is fixedly installed on the surface of the base plate, and a second adapter plate for connecting with the second outrigger is fixedly installed at the bulge.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: by setting up the first adapter plate, the first adapter plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate and fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam. Then, by fixing the first outrigger to the first adapter plate, the purpose of fixing the first outrigger to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body is achieved. In addition, by fixing the second outrigger to the bulge of the vehicle body through the second adapter plate, the interior space can be effectively saved and the space utilization rate of the vehicle can be improved. The second outrigger is installed on the base plate above the longitudinal beam through the second adapter plate.

[0013] For existing vehicle frames, the manufacturers produce them in batches, and the body structure of the same batch is basically the same. At this time, it is impossible to modify the internal structure of the vehicle one by one in order to improve the spare tire mounting structure, and the cost is too high. Therefore, with the mounting structure in this solution, the triangular legs of the mounting bracket can be installed on different parts of the vehicle body by means of several adapter plates and several legs, which can improve the structural stability and save modification costs.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the first support plate. The mounting bracket is L-shaped and includes a vertically installed mounting plate and a horizontally installed mounting plate. The horizontally installed mounting plate is fixedly connected to the first support plate, and the vertically installed mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side panel.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the mounting base is provided on the mounting vertical plate, and a positioning plate protruding from the side of the mounting vertical plate near the side panel is provided for fixed connection with the side panel. A folding plate is horizontally provided on the side of the mounting vertical plate near the side panel, and the folding plate is connected to the positioning plate to support the positioning plate.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the mounting base includes several positioning bolts disposed on the mounting vertical plate, the positioning bolts being used to suspend the spare tire.

[0017] The beneficial effect is that the positioning bolt passes through the gap of the spare tire hub and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, thereby achieving the purpose of side-mounting the spare tire on the side panel.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, the mounting base further includes a slide table vertically slidably disposed on the mounting vertical plate, a positioning bolt bolt connected to the slide table, and a drive screw threadedly connected between the folding plate and the slide table, the drive screw being used to drive the slide table to slide on the mounting vertical plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects are as follows: Since there are seats near the side panels inside the vehicle, when the vehicle needs to be fully loaded with passengers, the spare tire and its mounting structure will affect the comfort of the passengers. Moreover, when the vehicle shakes, passengers may touch the spare tire, which will reduce the safety of the passengers. Therefore, by rotating the drive screw, the slide can be made to slide vertically on the mounting plate. At this time, the slide will drive the spare tire to slide vertically on the mounting plate. Passengers can adjust the height of the spare tire as needed, thus further improving the utilization rate of the interior space. Attached Figure Description
