[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle module protection technology, and in particular to an electrical box protection bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The electrical component box in a car is an important electrical functional part, usually located at the foot of the passenger compartment. The floor of the passenger compartment is usually covered by carpet and heat insulation pads, which do not have sufficient strength. When passengers step on it repeatedly, the force can easily be transmitted to the electrical component box. If there is no corresponding protective device to protect the electrical component box, it will cause damage to the electrical components, affect the function of the electrical parts, and even cause serious safety accidents.

[0003] In some related technologies, a bracket is set in front of the electrical component box to protect it. However, most of them use fixed packaging. If the electrical box needs to be repaired, the bracket must be removed as a whole, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, and cannot meet the needs of rapid after-sales maintenance of vehicles.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved electrical box protection bracket and vehicle to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides an electrical box protection bracket and vehicle that can protect the electrical box and facilitate its maintenance.

[0006] This application discloses an electrical box protective bracket, including a bracket body and a cover plate. The bracket body has a hollow center to form an operating area, and the cover plate is detachably assembled to the bracket body and covers the operating area.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a connector for assembling the bracket body and the cover plate. The inner edge of the bracket body extends inward to form a first mounting plate, and one side of the cover plate extends outward to form a second mounting plate. The second mounting plate overlaps with the first mounting plate. The first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are respectively provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole that cooperate with the connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate is also provided with an integrally formed buckle, and the inner edge of the bracket body is also provided with a corresponding slot, and the buckle engages with the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, the buckle and the second mounting plate are located on opposite sides of the cover plate.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0028] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] The embodiments described in this specification will now be described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an electrical box protective bracket 100, which is installed in the passenger compartment of a vehicle and fixed to the vehicle body 200. The electrical box protective bracket 100 covers the front side of the vehicle's electrical box 300, forming a barrier between the electrical box 300 and the vehicle occupants, preventing the vehicle occupants from directly stepping on the electrical box 300, thereby providing protection for the electrical box 300. In this application, "front side" refers to the side closer to the vehicle occupants, and "rear side" refers to the side farther away from the vehicle occupants.

[0031] The electrical box protection bracket 100 includes a bracket body 10 and a cover plate 20. The bracket body 10 is disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and fixed to the vehicle body 200, and the cover plate 20 is detachably assembled to the bracket body 10.

[0032] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 3 The support body 10 and the cover plate 20 are both generally flat and located on the same plane. The middle of the support body 10 is hollow to form an operating area 11, which runs through the support body 10 in the front-to-back direction. The cover plate 20 covers the operating area 11.

[0033] When the electrical box 300 needs repair or replacement, the operator can remove the cover 20 from the bracket body 10 and perform related operations on the electrical box 300 through the operating area 11, without having to disassemble the entire electrical box protective bracket 100. This greatly simplifies the operation process, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves the maintenance efficiency of the electrical box 300.

[0034] Furthermore, the electrical box protection bracket 100 also includes a connector 30, which is used to assemble the bracket body 10 and the cover plate 20. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the inner edge of the bracket body 10 extends inward to form a first mounting plate 12. The first mounting plate 12 has a first mounting hole that mates with the connector 30. It can be understood that the edge of the bracket body 10 closest to the operating area 11 is the inner edge, and the edge furthest from the operating area 11 is the outer edge. The inner side of the bracket body 10 refers to the side along its planar direction closest to the operating area 11, and the outer side refers to the side along its planar direction furthest from the operating area 11.

[0035] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 4 A second mounting plate 21 extends outward from one side of the cover plate 20. The second mounting plate 21 overlaps with the first mounting plate 12 and is located in front of the first mounting plate 12. A second mounting hole 211 is provided on the second mounting plate 21. Both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole 211 mate with the connector 30 to fix the bracket body 10 to the cover plate 20. Specifically, the connector 30 passes through the second mounting hole 211 and the first mounting hole sequentially from front to back. There are two of each: the second mounting hole 211, the first mounting hole, and the connector 30.

[0036] The cover plate 20 is also provided with an integrally formed buckle 22, and a corresponding slot 13 is provided at the inner edge of the bracket body 10. The buckle 22 and the slot 13 engage to further fix the cover plate 20 to the bracket body 10. In this embodiment, the buckle 22 is located behind the slot 13. There are two buckles 22 and two slots 13.

[0037] The latch 22 and the second mounting plate 21 are located on opposite sides of the cover plate 20. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the buckle 22 and the second mounting plate 21 are located on the left and right sides of the cover plate 20, respectively. When assembling the cover plate 20 onto the bracket body 10, the buckle 22 is first engaged in the slot 13 to achieve initial positioning and assembly of the cover plate 20 and the bracket body 10. Then, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole 211 are aligned, and the connector 30 is inserted to complete the fixing of the cover plate 20 and the bracket body 10.

[0038] The bracket body 10 and cover plate 20 of this application are fixed together by snap fasteners 22 and connectors 30. The snap fasteners 22 and connectors 30, located on opposite sides, together restrict the translational and rotational freedom of the cover plate 20, which is particularly suitable for preventing loosening under vibration conditions during vehicle operation. Furthermore, it facilitates quick alignment by operators during installation, reducing assembly time. The assembly and disassembly of the bracket body 10 and cover plate 20 are simple, allowing operators to quickly assemble and disassemble, improving work efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, the electrical box protection bracket 100 is also provided with a reinforcing structure. The bracket body 10 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 15, each of which is strip-shaped and located on at least one side of the bracket body 10. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are three first reinforcing ribs 15, which are respectively disposed on the left, right, and lower part of the cover plate 20. A second reinforcing rib 23 is disposed in the middle of the cover plate 20. The second reinforcing rib 23 is roughly in the shape of a "well".

[0040] The first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 23 can respectively improve the structural strength of the bracket body 10 and the cover plate 20, which helps to prevent the bracket body 10 and the cover plate 20 from denting or breaking when subjected to force (such as stepping or impact), thereby improving the reliability and stability of the electrical box protection bracket 100.

[0041] The main body 10 of the bracket is also provided with a number of fixing feet 14 for fixing to the vehicle body 200. The fixing feet 14 extend toward the vehicle body 200. The fixing feet 14 are provided with fixing holes 141, which cooperate with the fixing member 50 to fix the electrical box protection bracket 100 to the vehicle body 200.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixed support leg 14 includes an extension platform 142 and a fixing surface 143. The extension platform 142 extends from the support body 10 toward the vehicle body 200, and the fixing surface 143 is located at one end of the extension platform 142 and fits against the vehicle body 200. A fixing hole 141 is formed on the fixing surface 143, and the fastener 50 passes through the fixing hole 141 to fix the support body 10 to the vehicle body 200.

[0043] In this embodiment, four fixed feet 14 are located at the four corners of the support body 10, making the connection of the support body 10 more stable. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two lower fixed legs 14 extend downwards and are fixed to the floor 210 of the vehicle body 200, the upper left fixed leg 14 extends backwards and is fixed to the rear of the vehicle body 200, and the upper right fixed leg 14 extends upwards and is fixed to the side of the vehicle body 200. It can be understood that the number and position of the fixed legs 14 can be flexibly set according to the actual shape of the vehicle body 200 and the actual installation position of the bracket body 10, and the type of fastener 50 can also be flexibly selected according to design requirements.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrical box protection bracket 100 of this application also includes a support member 40. The support member 40 fits against the vehicle body 200, and one side of the support member 40 is fixed to the outer edge of the bracket body 10. The support member 40 provides good rigid support to the bracket body 10, making the connection between the bracket body 10 and the vehicle body 200 more stable.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle, including a body 200, an electrical box 300, and an electrical box protective bracket 100 as described above. The electrical box protective bracket 100 is located in the vehicle's passenger compartment, and the bracket body 10 is fixed to the body 200.

[0046] The electrical box 300 is installed between the electrical box protective bracket 100 and the vehicle body 200. For example... Figure 6 As shown, there is a gap between the electrical box 300 and the electrical box protective bracket 100, with a gap distance of 15mm-25mm. The gap between the electrical box 300 and the electrical box protective bracket 100 can effectively reduce or prevent the transmission of the occupant's stepping force to the electrical box 300, thereby minimizing the risk of the electrical box 300 malfunctioning due to stepping force.

[0047] The vehicle body 200 includes a floor 210, and the electrical box protection bracket 100 is inclined relative to the floor 210. The angle between the electrical box protection bracket 100 and the floor 210 is 40°-50°, which can effectively adapt to the complex space structure inside the vehicle and facilitate personnel to operate the cover 20.

[0048] In some cases, the vehicle may not need to have an electrical box 300. In this case, the electrical box protective bracket 100 can serve as a foot support structure for the occupants. A heating device can be integrated into the electrical box protective bracket 100 to provide foot heating functionality according to user needs.

[0049] The electrical box protective bracket 100 and vehicle of this application include a bracket body 10 and a cover plate 20. The bracket body 10 is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and provides protection for the electrical box 300, effectively preventing damage to the electrical box 300 due to being stepped on. The central part of the bracket body 10 is hollow to form an operating area 11, and the cover plate 20 is detachably assembled to the bracket body 10 and covers the operating area 11. Thus, when it is necessary to operate or repair the electrical box 300, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire electrical box protective bracket 100. Only the cover plate 20 needs to be separated from the bracket body 10, and the electrical box 300 can be inspected, replaced, or operated through the operating area 11, which helps to improve maintenance efficiency.

[0050] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
