Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive component technology and relates to an integrated bracket for vehicle power systems. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive engine cylinder blocks are designed for versatility, so generators cannot be directly mounted on them. They are typically mounted using a dedicated generator bracket. Generally, generator brackets are designed specifically for the generator's layout, with the most common integration being an air conditioning compressor bracket or a belt tensioner bracket; the level of integration is relatively low.

[0003] Meanwhile, the assembly space in the front engine compartment of a vehicle is often quite compact, but there are many parts that need to be assembled. Some parts also require special brackets to be assembled, which makes the overall assembly structure more complex. In addition, setting a special bracket for each part also has disadvantages such as low integration of parts, many molds to develop, complex assembly process and high cost.

[0004] To solve the above problems, a more integrated bracket is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] It should be noted that in the description of this specification, the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In this embodiment, "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are all based on the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 For reference, "outward" refers to the direction away from the bracket itself, while "inward" is the opposite.

[0026] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses an integrated bracket for a vehicle powertrain system. The bracket integrates several functional mounting parts for mounting corresponding functional components. The bracket also has several functional flow channels within it for conveying cooling or lubricating media to the corresponding functional components. In this embodiment, the bracket not only integrates numerous different functional mounting parts but also has several functional flow channels within it connecting the designated functional mounting parts. This allows a single bracket to simultaneously assemble multiple different functional components, resulting in higher component integration, fewer types of brackets required, simpler assembly processes, and lower costs. The functional mounting parts in this embodiment refer to those used for mounting functional components in the vehicle powertrain system, such as generators and compressors, which is understood by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0027] In this embodiment, several functional mounting parts include a base mounting part 4 for mounting the bracket to the engine, a generator mounting part for mounting the generator 10, a first mounting part 2 for mounting the oil cooler 11, a second mounting part 3 for mounting the oil filter 13, a third mounting part for mounting the air conditioning compressor 14, and a fourth mounting part 5 for mounting the belt tensioner 12. The generator mounting part, base mounting part 4, first mounting part 2, second mounting part 3, third mounting part, and fourth mounting part 5 are arranged to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the components, depending on the location of the components to be installed. It is particularly important to note that in this embodiment, the first mounting part 2 and the fourth mounting part 5 are not simultaneously located on the same side of the bracket. If the first mounting part 2 and the fourth mounting part 5 were located on the same side, the oil cooler 11 would affect the engine's power output path after assembly, thus affecting the operation of the generator 10 and the compressor 14. In this embodiment, the basic mounting part 4 is a boss structure that extends outward from the rear end of the bracket, the first mounting part 2 is a boss structure that extends outward from the right end of the bracket, the second mounting part 3 is a circular boss structure that extends upward from the top of the bracket, and the fourth mounting part 5 is a circular groove structure integrated in the lower left side of the bracket.

[0028] In this embodiment, the functional flow channels include a cooling water channel connecting the engine and the oil cooler 11, a first oil channel connecting the engine and the oil filter 13, and a third oil channel connecting the oil cooler 11 and the oil filter 13. All functional flow channels in this embodiment are obtained through conventional machining at their corresponding mounting parts. After machining, each functional flow channel leaves a port (inlet and outlet) at its corresponding functional mounting part. After assembly, the functional components are connected through their respective functional flow channels to form a lubrication or cooling cycle. This is understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here. The cooling water inlet 401 and the first oil passage outlet 403 are both located in the base mounting part 4, while the cooling water outlet 201 and the first oil passage inlet 203 are both located in the first mounting part 2. The second oil passage inlet 402 is located in the base mounting part, and the second oil passage outlet 302 is located in the second mounting part 3. The third oil passage inlet 301 is located in the second mounting part 3, and the third oil passage outlet 202 is located in the first mounting part 2. As shown in the figure, the oil cooler 11 and the oil filter 13 are mounted behind the engine via brackets. They are interconnected through the aforementioned cooling water passage, first oil passage, second oil passage, and third oil passage to achieve the flow and heat exchange of lubricating oil and coolant, ultimately cooling the engine oil. The specific flow and heat exchange process is as follows:

[0029] The oil cooler 11 is bolted to the first mounting part 2; the coolant enters the cooling water passage through the cylinder block cooling water passage via the inlet 401 of the cooling water passage, and then through the outlet 201 of the cooling water passage, and finally enters the lubricating oil cooler. In the oil cooler 11, the coolant and the lubricating oil exchange heat and complete the oil cooling.

[0030] The oil filter 13 is installed on the second mounting part 3 of the generator 10 bracket using a connecting pipe. The lubricating oil enters the second oil passage through the high-pressure oil outlet of the engine cylinder block via the inlet 402 of the second oil passage, and then flows out through the outlet 302 of the second oil passage and is filtered by the oil filter 13. After filtration, the lubricating oil enters the third oil passage through the inlet 301 of the third oil passage, and then flows out through the outlet 202 of the third oil passage and enters the oil cooler 11. In the oil cooler 11, the lubricating oil exchanges heat with the coolant to complete the cooling of the lubricating oil. After cooling, the lubricating oil enters the first oil passage through the inlet 203 of the first oil passage, and flows out through the outlet 403 of the first oil passage and re-enters the high-pressure oil passage of the engine cylinder block, completing one oil circuit cycle.

[0031] In this embodiment, the generator mounting part includes mounting lugs 1. The upper part of the front end face of the bracket extends outward to form multiple mounting lugs 1. The generator 10 is detachably mounted on the bracket via the multiple mounting lugs 1. As shown in the figure, there are four mounting lugs 1 in this embodiment, and the generator 10 is detachably mounted on the aforementioned mounting lugs 1 using bolts. Since the generator 10 is suspended and mounted on the upper part of the bracket via lugs, and the aforementioned functional flow channels are also correspondingly opened on the upper part of the bracket, in order to ensure the overall structural strength of the bracket, in this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 8 and a second reinforcing rib 9 are also provided at the generator mounting position. Both the first reinforcing rib 8 and the second reinforcing rib 9 are formed along the height direction of the bracket on the upper part of the front end face of the bracket. The first reinforcing rib 8 has a "Z" shaped structure, and the first reinforcing rib 8 and the second reinforcing rib 9 are arranged side by side. Setting the first reinforcing rib 8 to a "Z" shaped curved structure can increase the support area of ​​the reinforcing rib, effectively enhancing the strength of the bracket itself. Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the upper part of the bracket to connect the vertical mounting lugs 1. This is also a means to enhance the support strength of the bracket and the mounting lugs 1, ensuring the reliability of the generator 10 installation. In addition, in this embodiment, multiple intersecting reinforcing ribs are provided on the lower part of the back side of the bracket to form a mesh reinforcement structure 15, the purpose of which is to further enhance the overall structural strength.

[0032] In this embodiment, the third mounting part includes mounting bosses 7 and abutment surfaces 6. The lower part of the front end face of the bracket is recessed inward to form abutment surfaces 6 with curved structures. The mounting bosses 7 are arranged in a triangular pattern. The three mounting bosses 7 are arranged on the bracket along the circumference of the abutment surfaces 6. The compressor 14 is mounted on the three mounting bosses 7 by bolts. The abutment surfaces 6 have irregular arc structures. This design is to reduce the weight of the bracket and minimize the contact area while ensuring support for the compressor 14, so as to avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the compressor 14.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
