Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of support connecting plates for automobile engines, and in particular to a support connecting plate for automobile engines. Background Technology

[0002] Engine support plates are critical components connecting the engine to the vehicle body or frame. They are typically made of high-strength metals (such as steel or aluminum alloys) or composite materials, possessing excellent strength, rigidity, and fatigue resistance. They not only securely support the engine, ensuring its correct position during vehicle operation, but also effectively absorb and isolate vibrations and noise generated during engine operation, reducing vibrations transmitted to the vehicle body and improving ride comfort. Simultaneously, their structural design balances lightweight design with optimized mechanical performance, contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction goals for the entire vehicle while ensuring reliable connections.

[0003] The applicant discovered through a search that a Chinese patent, "A Support Connecting Plate for an Automobile Engine," with publication (announcement) number "CN215826465U," primarily employs a combination of a return spring and a limiting plate for installation, and incorporates a concave groove. This allows the support connecting plate for the automobile engine to have an automatic clamping function, and the added elastic seat also improves vibration damping performance. However, this patent uses a fixed structure of concave groove and limiting plate to clamp the engine, which can only be adapted to engines of a specific size and cannot flexibly adjust the installation position. The size of the concave groove is fixed, and if the engine size does not match the groove, installation is impossible, requiring a redesign of the connecting plate body, thus limiting its applicability. Therefore, we propose a support connecting plate for an automobile engine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support connecting plate for automobile engines, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that it can only be adapted to engines of a specific size and cannot flexibly adjust the installation position.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4A support connecting plate for an automobile engine includes a support connecting mechanism 1 and an mounting mechanism 2 disposed below it. The support connecting mechanism 1 includes a support frame 101. The support frame 101 is connected to two sets of fixing nuts 103 via two sets of connecting rods 102. A strong spring 104 is sleeved on the outer wall of the right end of each of the two sets of connecting rods 102. The two sets of connecting rods 102 are connected to two sets of mounting brackets 106 via openings 114. The mounting brackets 106 are connected to limit bolts 110 and limit nuts 111 via slots 109. Sliding blocks 108 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two sets of mounting brackets 106 near both ends. A connector 112 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 101. A sliding groove 113 is opened inside the connector 112. The sliding block 108 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 113.

[0024] The entire support connection mechanism 1 is mainly used to connect with the engine. The strong spring 104 can effectively absorb the impact generated by the engine during the car's operation, and can also reduce the risk of loosening and wear of parts caused by the impact, thus extending the service life of the car engine and related components.

[0025] Two sets of connecting rods 102 are inserted into the inside of the support frame 101. The fixing nut 103 is threaded onto the outer wall of the connecting rod 102. The opening 114 penetrates the two ends of the mounting frame 106 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 102.

[0026] The threaded connection between the fixing nut 103 and the connecting rod 102 can securely connect the support frame 101 to other components, ensuring that the support connection mechanism 1 will not easily loosen during vehicle operation.

[0027] The slot 109 penetrates the surface of the mounting bracket 106 near both ends. The limit bolt 110 is rotatably connected inside the slot 109, and the limit nut 111 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the limit bolt 110.

[0028] The fixing of the mounting bracket 106 by the limiting bolt 110 and the limiting nut 111, as well as the cooperation between the sliding block 108 and the sliding groove 113, further enhance the stability of the overall structure, so that the support connecting plate can still maintain a reliable connection state when bearing the weight of the engine and the force generated during operation, providing solid and stable support for the car engine.

[0029] A threaded sleeve 107 is fixedly installed at the center of the outer side of the mounting bracket 106, and an adjusting screw 105 is threadedly connected at the center of the left side of the support bracket 101. The adjusting screw 105 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 107.

[0030] The adjusting screw 105 can fix the position of the mounting bracket 106 on one side, ensuring the overall stability.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting bracket 106 can be flexibly adjusted within a certain range. By rotating the adjusting screw 105, it slides within the sliding groove 113 of the connector 112 in conjunction with the sliding block 108, which can precisely control the position of the mounting bracket 106 relative to the support bracket 101. Furthermore, the slot 109 on the mounting bracket 106, in conjunction with the limiting bolt 110 and the limiting nut 111, allows the mounting bracket 106 to be firmly fixed in the required position after the position is adjusted by tightening the limiting nut 111. This facilitates the installation of different models and sizes of automotive engines, improving the versatility and ease of installation of the support connecting plate.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 7 The installation mechanism 2 includes two sets of installation plates 201. The two sets of installation plates 201 are fixedly installed on the bottom of both sides of the support frame 101. The two ends of the two sets of installation plates 201 are provided with installation grooves 202. The installation grooves 202 are slidably connected to the installation components 203. The outer end of the installation component 203 is threadedly connected to the installation bolts 204.

[0033] The mounting plate 201 is also fixedly connected to the side of the connector 112 to ensure the integrity of the entire support connection plate. The mounting piece 203 can slide a certain length to fit most engine compartment sizes.

[0034] Both sets of mounting plates 201 have limit grooves 205 at the bottom near both ends. The limit grooves 205 are connected to the mounting grooves 202. Threaded parts 206 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both sets of mounting plates 201 near the outer ends of the limit grooves 205. Adjusting bolts 207 are connected to the internal threads of the threaded parts 206.

[0035] The limiting groove 205 at the bottom of the mounting plate 201 communicates with the mounting groove 202. With the help of the threaded part 206 and the adjusting bolt 207, the mounting part 203 can be further limited and adjusted.

[0036] Specifically, the mounting component 203 can be flexibly slid and adjusted in the mounting groove 202 according to the actual installation scenario. The outer end of the mounting component 203 is connected to the external installation object through the mounting bolt 204, adapting to different installation space layouts in the car engine compartment. After the mounting component 203 slides to the appropriate position in the mounting groove 202, the adjusting bolt 207 is tightened. The adjusting bolt 207 can press against the mounting component 203, so that it is firmly fixed in the mounting groove 202 under the dual action of the limiting groove 205 and the adjusting bolt 207. This ensures that the support connecting plate fits the car engine and other components, improves the stability and reliability of the overall structure, and ensures the safety and stability of the car engine operation.

[0037] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a support connecting plate for automobile engines. According to the installation position requirements of the automobile engine, the mounting hole on one side of the engine is aligned with the slot 109 of the left mounting bracket 106. First, by rotating the adjusting screw 105, the position of the mounting bracket 106 on the connecting rod 102 is adjusted by utilizing its threaded connection with the threaded sleeve 107 on the mounting bracket 106. At the same time, the sliding block 108 at the bottom of the left mounting bracket 106 slides synchronously in the sliding groove 113. After the left mounting bracket 106 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the limiting bolt 110 is passed through the slot 109 and the limiting nut 111 is tightened to fix the position of the left mounting bracket 106. Then, the right mounting bracket 106 is adjusted according to the size of the engine. Then, the mounting hole on the other side of the engine is aligned with the right mounting bracket 106 and the same operation is performed to complete the engine fixing. Subsequently, according to the actual installation point, the position of the sliding mounting part 203 is adjusted in the mounting groove 202. After the position is determined, the mounting bolt 204 is screwed into the inner part of the outer end of the mounting part 203. The mounting bolt 204 is connected to the car engine or frame and other components. Then, the adjusting bolt 207 is tightened to make it press against the mounting part 203. The mounting part 203 is double-limited and fixed by the limiting groove 205 and the adjusting bolt 207. When the car engine generates an impact, the strong spring 104 absorbs and buffers the impact transmitted from the engine to the support connection mechanism 1 by its own elastic deformation.

[0038] 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.
