Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a controller mounting bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automotive electronics technology, the number of controllers installed in vehicles is increasing, and these controllers play an important role in vehicle driving control, safety systems, and infotainment. Therefore, the design of the mounting bracket is crucial for securing these controllers to the vehicle.

[0003] However, existing vehicle controller brackets are usually customized for specific controller models, with their structure and dimensions closely matching the specific controller. While this design can meet the installation requirements of specific controllers well, when different controller models need to be replaced, the bracket often needs to be redesigned and manufactured, leading to increased costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a controller mounting bracket and a vehicle, aiming to improve the versatility of the controller mounting bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the controller mounting bracket proposed in this utility model includes:

[0006] The bracket body includes a vehicle beam connecting part and a controller mounting part. The vehicle beam connecting part is used to connect the vehicle beam. The controller mounting part is provided with multiple sets of fixing structures. The controller mounting part adapts to and installs a corresponding controller by selecting one of the fixing structures.

[0007] Each of the aforementioned fixing structures defines a corresponding mounting area for the controller on the controller mounting part, and the mounting areas corresponding to different fixing structures do not overlap.

[0008] In one embodiment, the fixing structure is configured with a plurality of fixing holes, which are arranged at intervals to define the installation area corresponding to the controller.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing holes of one fixing structure and the fixing holes of the other fixing structure are staggered in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the controller mounting portion;

[0010] And / or, a nut is fixed to the side of the controller mounting part away from the controller, and the threaded hole of the nut is connected to the fixing hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the beam connection portion is fixed to the beam by welding;

[0012] Alternatively, the beam connection portion is connected to the beam by screw fastening.

[0013] In one embodiment, the controller mounting portion has a weight-reduction hole.

[0014] In one embodiment, the controller and the vehicle beam are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support body, and the support body further includes a clearance portion, with the vehicle beam connecting portion and the controller mounting portion disposed on opposite side edges of the clearance portion.

[0015] In one embodiment, the controller mounting bracket further includes a flange for securing the wiring harness mounting bracket, the flange being connected to either the controller mounting portion or the clearance portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the flange includes a first segment and a second segment that are bent and connected. The first segment is connected to one side of the bracket body, and the second segment protrudes to the other side of the bracket body and has a mounting hole for fixing the wire harness mounting bracket.

[0017] In one embodiment, the clearance portion is provided with a spare hole for securing additional components.

[0018] This utility model also proposes a vehicle that includes the controller mounting bracket as described above.

[0019] In the technical solution of this utility model, the bracket body includes a vehicle beam connecting part and a controller mounting part, which allows the controller mounting bracket to be directly fixed to the vehicle beam through the vehicle beam connecting part. Compared with using an additional universal adapter frame, this helps to simplify the structure of the controller mounting bracket and reduce costs.

[0020] Multiple fixing structures are set on the controller mounting section of the controller mounting bracket, so that any fixing structure can be selected to adapt and install the corresponding controller. This helps to improve the versatility of the controller mounting bracket. In turn, it can reduce the demand for customized brackets, reduce design and production costs, simplify supply chain management, make it easier for enterprises to reduce the types of different mounting brackets in stock, reduce inventory costs, and improve the flexibility and responsiveness of the supply chain. Furthermore, by reducing the types of different mounting brackets, the complexity and management costs of the BOM (Bill of Materials) can be reduced, which helps to avoid assembly errors caused by selecting the wrong bracket.

[0021] Specifically, each set of fixing structures defines the corresponding installation area for the controller on the controller mounting section. This allows for a reasonable allocation of the installation area on the controller mounting section, ensuring a balanced overall stress distribution after the controller is installed onto the controller mounting bracket. While accommodating different controllers on the controller mounting section, the non-overlapping installation areas corresponding to different fixing structures serve as a foolproof mechanism, effectively preventing incorrect installation of the controller. This ensures the accuracy of the assembly operation and improves the installation efficiency of the controller onto the controller mounting bracket. Attached Figure Description

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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0033] With the continuous development of automotive electronics technology, the number of controllers installed in vehicles is increasing, and these controllers play an important role in vehicle driving control, safety systems, and infotainment. Therefore, the design of the mounting bracket is crucial for securing these controllers to the vehicle.

[0034] However, existing vehicle controller brackets are usually customized for specific controller models, with their structure and size closely matching the specific controller. While this design can meet the installation requirements of specific controllers well, when it is necessary to replace different controller models, the bracket often needs to be redesigned and manufactured, which increases costs and is not conducive to the convenient installation of different controller models.

[0035] To solve this technical problem, this utility model proposes a controller mounting bracket 100.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment of this utility model, the controller mounting bracket 100 includes a bracket body 10, which includes a vehicle beam connecting part 11 and a controller mounting part 12. The vehicle beam connecting part 11 is used to connect the vehicle beam. The controller mounting part 12 is provided with multiple sets of fixing structures. The controller mounting part 12 adapts to install the corresponding controller 200 by selecting one of the fixing structures. Each set of fixing structures defines an installation area corresponding to the controller 200 on the controller mounting part 12. The installation areas corresponding to different fixing structures do not overlap. This improves the versatility of the controller mounting bracket 100 and increases the installation efficiency of installing the controller 200 onto the controller mounting bracket 100.

[0037] In the technical solution of this utility model, the bracket body 10 includes a vehicle beam connecting part 11 and a controller mounting part 12, which allows the controller mounting bracket 100 to be directly fixed to the vehicle beam through the vehicle beam connecting part 11. Compared with using an additional universal adapter frame, this helps to simplify the structure of the controller mounting bracket 100 and reduce costs.

[0038] Multiple sets of fixing structures are provided on the controller mounting section 12 of the controller mounting bracket 100 so that any fixing structure can be selected to adapt and install the corresponding controller 200. This helps to improve the versatility of the controller mounting bracket 100. Consequently, it can reduce the demand for customized brackets, reduce design and production costs, simplify supply chain management, and make it easier for enterprises to reduce the types of different mounting brackets in stock, reduce inventory costs, and improve the flexibility and responsiveness of the supply chain. Furthermore, by reducing the types of different mounting brackets, the complexity and management costs of the BOM (Bill of Materials) can be reduced, which helps to avoid assembly errors caused by selecting the wrong bracket.

[0039] Specifically, each set of fixing structures defines a corresponding installation area for the controller 200 on the controller mounting part 12. This allows for a reasonable allocation of the installation area on the controller mounting part 12, ensuring a balanced stress distribution after the controller 200 is installed onto the controller mounting bracket 100. While satisfying the assembly requirements of different controllers 200 on the controller mounting part 12, the non-overlapping installation areas of different fixing structures prevent incorrect installation of the controller 200, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the assembly operation and improving the installation efficiency of the controller 200 onto the controller mounting bracket 100.

[0040] It should be noted that the installation area defined by the fixed structure is designed according to the external dimensions, center of gravity position and interface direction of different controllers 200, so as to ensure the reliable installation and normal operation of different controllers 200 on the controller mounting part 12, and enhance the versatility of the controller mounting bracket 100.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the fixing structure is configured with a plurality of fixing holes 121, which are arranged at intervals to define the installation area corresponding to the controller 200. Thus, by using the interval arrangement of the plurality of fixing holes 121, the installation area of ​​the controller 200 on the controller mounting part 12 can be defined, and the spacing between each fixing hole 121 can be set according to factors such as the external dimensions of the corresponding controller 200 to meet the installation requirements of the controller 200.

[0042] Specifically, in the embodiments of this utility model, the fixing holes 121 of one fixing structure and the fixing holes 121 of another fixing structure are staggered in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the controller mounting part 12, so that the mounting areas corresponding to different fixing structures do not overlap, thereby avoiding incorrect installation of the controller 200. Furthermore, the fixing holes 121 within the same fixing structure can be asymmetrically arranged on the controller mounting part 12, specifically asymmetrically arranged in the longitudinal and / or transverse directions of the controller mounting part 12. This ensures the correct installation of the controller 200 through physical error-proof design, for example, ensuring that the interface of the controller 200 faces downwards. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing holes 121 of one fixing structure and the fixing holes 121 of another fixing structure are staggered in either the longitudinal or transverse direction of the controller mounting part 12.

[0043] To ensure the stable and secure assembly of the controller 200, in this embodiment of the invention, a nut 15 is fixed to the side of the controller mounting part 12 away from the controller 200. The threaded hole of the nut 15 is connected to the fixing hole 121. It is understood that the nut 15 is pre-embedded at the location of the fixing hole 121 using processes such as resistance projection welding, so that the threaded hole of the nut 15 is connected to the fixing hole 121, reducing assembly difficulty. Then, the controller 200 is placed on the side of the controller mounting part 12 away from the nut 15. After the hole structure of the controller 200 is aligned with the fixing hole 121, only a threaded fastener needs to be passed through the hole structure and the fixing hole 121 in sequence to achieve threaded engagement with the nut 15, facilitating quick installation and disassembly of the controller 200. Four fixing holes 121 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the controller mounting part 12, which minimizes the number of fixing holes 121 and corresponding nuts 15, reducing the overall weight while ensuring reliable installation of the controller 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the controller 200 and the controller mounting bracket 100 are assembled by snap-fit ​​connection.

[0044] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle beam connecting part 11 is fixed to the vehicle beam by welding; in this way, a stable connection between the vehicle beam and the controller mounting bracket 100 can be achieved, improving the installation stability of the controller 200 on the vehicle beam.

[0045] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the beam connecting part 11 is connected to the beam by screw fastening. It is understood that... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the vehicle beam connecting part 11 has multiple connecting holes 111. Nuts 15 are pre-installed on one side of the connecting holes 111 and communicate with the connecting holes 111. Threaded fasteners pass through the hole structure on the vehicle beam and the connecting holes 111 to achieve threaded engagement with the nuts 15, facilitating the quick installation and removal of the controller mounting bracket 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the controller mounting bracket 100 and the vehicle beam are assembled by snap-fit ​​connection, plug-in fixation, or other methods.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment of the present invention, the controller mounting part 12 is provided with a weight reduction hole 122. In this way, while ensuring the structural stability of the controller mounting bracket 100, the overall weight of the controller mounting bracket 100 is reduced and the cost is reduced by setting the weight reduction hole 122 at a non-critical stress position, such as the center of the controller mounting part 12. At the same time, concentrating the material on the part bearing the main load can improve the material utilization efficiency and ensure the stable assembly of the controller 200.

[0047] Specifically, in the embodiments of this utility model, the area ratio of the weight-reducing hole 122 on the controller mounting part 12 is k, where k ≤ 30%. In this way, by controlling the proportion of the weight-reducing hole 122 to within 30%, while removing some material, the original structure of the controller mounting bracket 100 can be preserved to the greatest extent, ensuring that the controller mounting bracket 100 still has sufficient strength and rigidity when supporting the controller 200, thus guaranteeing the reliability and service life of the controller mounting bracket 100. It also helps to make the stress distribution on the controller mounting part 12 more uniform, which helps to reduce potential problems such as fatigue cracks caused by stress concentration and improves the fatigue resistance of the controller mounting bracket 100.

[0048] Of course, while meeting the strength and stiffness requirements, controlling the proportion of weight-reducing holes 122 to within 30% also allows designers to flexibly adjust the shape, position, and size of the weight-reducing holes 122 according to different usage requirements and performance indicators, better meeting the installation requirements of the controller mounting bracket 100 on the controller 200 and ensuring balanced force distribution. Specifically, the shape of the weight-reducing holes 122 includes, but is not limited to, circles, polygons, and irregular shapes. In this embodiment of the invention, the shape of the weight-reducing holes 122 is elliptical, and their placement does not affect the stable installation of the controller 200 on the controller mounting part 12. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple weight-reducing holes 122 are provided, and the total area of ​​all weight-reducing holes 122 satisfies that the proportion of weight-reducing holes 122 is less than or equal to 30%.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the controller 200 and the vehicle beam are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the bracket body 10. The bracket body 10 also includes a clearance portion 13. The vehicle beam connecting portion 11 and the controller mounting portion 12 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the clearance portion 13. Thus, the bracket body 10 is approximately Z-shaped. When the vehicle beam connecting portion 11 is connected to the vehicle beam, due to the setting of the clearance portion 13, the controller mounting portion 12 is far away from the vehicle beam, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the controller mounting portion 12, nut 15 and other structures and the vehicle beam or components around the vehicle beam, thereby improving the installation reliability of the controller mounting bracket 100.

[0050] Specifically, the bracket body 10 can be manufactured through processes such as one-time molding and welding, which makes it easy to fix to the vehicle beam as a whole, simplifying the assembly steps, while improving the structural strength and rigidity of the bracket body 10; among them, the one-time molding process can be the one-time forming of the bracket body 10 by bending sheet metal, which is simple to process, reliable in structure, and saves costs.

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the controller mounting bracket 100 further includes a flange 14 for fixing the wiring harness mounting bracket. The flange 14 is connected to either the controller mounting part 12 or the clearance part 13. It is understood that at least one of the controller mounting part 12 and the clearance part 13 is connected to the flange 14, which can provide an installation position for the wiring harness or the wiring harness mounting bracket. In turn, the movement of the wiring harness is constrained by the wiring harness mounting bracket, ensuring that the wiring harness remains regular and stable during vehicle operation, reducing the possibility of wiring harness loosening or wear, and improving service life and safety of use.

[0052] When both the controller mounting part 12 and the clearance part 13 are connected to flanges 14, the corresponding wire harness mounting brackets can be fixed at the same time, or one of the flanges 14 can be used as a spare flange 14 to meet the layout requirements of different wire harnesses and improve the flexibility of wire harness fixing.

[0053] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the flange 14 includes a first segment 141 and a second segment 142 that are bent and connected. The first segment 141 is connected to one side of the bracket body 10, and the second segment 142 protrudes from the other side of the bracket body 10 and is provided with a mounting hole 143 for fixing the wire harness mounting bracket. In this way, the bending process can improve the overall structural strength of the flange 14. Since the flange 14 is connected to the bracket body 10 through the first segment 141, the effective contact area between the flange 14 and the bracket body 10 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability of the flange 14 on the bracket body 10.

[0054] When the first segment 141 and the second segment 142 are bent and connected, and the second segment 142 is provided with a mounting hole 143, when the flange 14 is connected to the controller mounting part 12, the controller 200 and the first segment 141 are respectively located on opposite sides of the controller mounting part 12. At this time, the first segment 141 can be located between the two fixing holes 121, and the second segment 142 extends away from the vehicle beam and protrudes from the side of the controller mounting part 12 away from the vehicle beam, so that the wire harness mounting bracket can be fixed on the second segment 142 through the mounting hole 143. When the flange 14 is connected to the clearance part 13, the controller mounting part 12 and the first segment 141 are respectively located on opposite sides of the clearance part 13. At this time, the second segment 142 extends longitudinally and protrudes from the clearance part 13, so that the wire harness mounting bracket can be fixed on the second segment 142 through the mounting hole 143. Of course, optionally, the connection between the flange 14 and the bracket body 10 can be made in a way that includes, but is not limited to, integral molding, welding, and snap-fit ​​connection; the connection between the wire harness mounting bracket and the flange 14 can be made in a way that includes, but is not limited to, screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and wire clip fixing.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of this utility model, the clearance part 13 is provided with a spare hole 131. The spare hole 131 is used to fix additional components, including but not limited to wire harnesses and functional modules. It can provide installation positions for components, provide more installation flexibility, and thus improve the flexibility of use of the controller mounting bracket 100 to adapt to different assembly requirements.

[0056] This utility model also proposes a vehicle, which includes a controller mounting bracket 100. The specific structure of the controller mounting bracket 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
