Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive mounting brackets, and more specifically to a metal mounting bracket for a control valve in an automobile. Background technology:

[0002] Automotive control valves are key actuators in automotive electronic control systems, responsible for the precise regulation of fluid media and crucial for the normal operation of vehicles. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and intelligent manufacturing, the demand for automotive control valves continues to increase, and the requirements for performance and precision are also becoming increasingly stringent. Most automotive control valves are installed inside the vehicle using metal mounting brackets. These brackets typically consist of a bracket on the side where the control valve is mounted and a bracket on the side where the valve is mounted, with connecting ribs between the two brackets. Therefore, these metal mounting brackets are mostly cast iron structures, machined from castings. While cast iron metal mounting brackets have sufficient strength, they are cumbersome to manufacture and relatively expensive. Therefore, some have proposed using stamped sheet metal brackets to replace the cast iron brackets. Although sheet metal brackets are easier to manufacture, they are relatively weaker, especially L-shaped brackets, which have poor resistance to deformation. Therefore, a stamped metal bracket with high resistance to deformation needs to be designed. Utility Model Content:

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a metal mounting bracket for a control valve in an automobile. The metal mounting bracket has a reasonable layout of the mounting holes for the control valve, and a bent rib is provided on one side of the mounting hole, which, together with the welded structure on the other side, effectively improves the deformation resistance of the mounting bracket.

[0004] A metal mounting bracket for a control valve in an automobile includes an upright main bracket plate.

[0005] The left side of the positive support plate is bent into a longitudinal L-shaped first side plate, and the left side of the rear part of the bottom support plate is bent into a longitudinally upright second side plate. The front side of the first side plate abuts against the side wall of the second side plate and is fixedly connected to the second side plate by welding.

[0006] A horizontal lug is formed on the bottom support plate directly in front of the second side plate, and several mounting holes are formed on the lug and the bottom support plate in front of the lug.

[0007] Preferably, the length of the positive support plate is less than the length of the bottom support plate, the width of the bottom support plate is less than the width of the positive support plate, and the left and right ends of the top of the positive support plate are respectively formed with rounded corners.

[0008] Preferably, the upper front end of the second side plate is formed with an arc-shaped weight-reducing groove.

[0009] Preferably, the front end face of the first side plate and the rear end face of the second side plate are flush, the front end face of the first side plate is perpendicular to the upper end face of the bottom support plate, and the lower end face of the first side plate is parallel to the upper end face of the bottom support plate and has a gap.

[0010] Preferably, the rear side of the second side plate and the side wall of the first side plate are fixed together by argon arc welding.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the rear side of the second side plate is formed with a rearwardly extending upper ear plate, which abuts against the side wall of the first side plate and is fixed to the first side plate by spot welding.

[0012] The lower end of the front side of the first side plate is formed with a forward-extending lower ear plate, which abuts against the side wall of the second side plate and is fixed to the second side plate by spot welding.

[0022] Example: See Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a metal mounting bracket for a control valve in an automobile includes an upright main bracket plate 1. A horizontal bottom edge 11 is formed at the lower end of the left and middle parts of the main bracket plate 1. A horizontal rectangular bottom bracket plate 12 is formed by bending at the horizontal bottom edge 11. A first oblique reinforcing rib edge 14 is formed by bending at the left side of the bottom bracket plate 12. An oblique bottom edge 13 is formed at the lower end of the right side of the main bracket plate 1. A second forward reinforcing rib edge 15 is formed by bending at the oblique bottom edge 13. The left end of the second reinforcing rib edge 15 and the rear end of the first reinforcing rib edge 14 are formed together. A circular positioning hole 16 is formed at the upper right of the main bracket plate 1 and is opposite to the control valve.

[0023] The left side of the positive support plate 1 is bent into a longitudinal and L-shaped first side plate 17, and the left side of the rear part of the bottom support plate 12 is bent into a longitudinal and upright second side plate 18. The front side of the first side plate 17 abuts against the side wall of the second side plate 18 and is fixedly connected to the second side plate 18 by welding.

[0024] A horizontal support lug 19 is formed on the bottom support plate 12 directly in front of the second side plate 18, and a plurality of mounting holes 110 are formed on the support lug 19 and the bottom support plate 12 in front of the support lug 19.

[0025] The length of the positive support plate 1 is less than the length of the bottom support plate 12, and the width of the bottom support plate 12 is less than the width of the positive support plate 1. The left and right ends of the top of the positive support plate 1 are respectively formed with rounded corners to avoid scratches on the edges of the metal mounting bracket.

[0026] The upper front end of the second side plate 18 is formed with an arc-shaped weight-reducing groove 112, which can reduce the weight of the metal mounting bracket.

[0027] The front end face of the first side plate 17 is flush with the rear end face of the second side plate 18. The front end face of the first side plate 17 is perpendicular to the upper end face of the bottom support plate 12. The lower end face of the first side plate 17 is parallel to the upper end face of the bottom support plate 12 and has a gap. The front support plate 1 and the bottom support plate 12 are perpendicular to each other.

[0028] The rear side of the second side plate 18 and the side wall of the first side plate 17 are fixed together by argon arc welding, such as... Figure 1Therefore, to avoid the second side plate 18 and the first side plate 17 being too long and thus increasing the weight of the metal mounting bracket, and to ensure that the overlapping area between them is small, argon arc welding was used for welding. The schematic diagram of the weld is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0029] See Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the upper end of the rear side of the second side plate 18 is formed with a rearwardly extending upper ear plate 113. The upper ear plate 113 abuts against the side wall of the first side plate 17 and is fixed to the first side plate 17 by spot welding. The above-mentioned argon arc welding method is time-consuming. Spot welding can improve production efficiency. However, as mentioned, the overlapping area of ​​the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 is small and not suitable for spot welding. Therefore, the upper ear plate 113 and the lower ear plate 114 described below are added to increase the overlapping area. The two-point spot welding is used to achieve effective fixed connection. At the same time, the weight increase of the upper ear plate 113 and the lower ear plate 114 is not significant.

[0030] The lower end of the front side of the first side plate 17 is formed with a forward-extending lower ear plate 114, which abuts against the side wall of the second side plate 18 and is fixed to the second side plate 18 by spot welding. Figure 4 , 5 The circled area drawn with the midpoint line is the location of the spot weld.

[0031] The lower end surface of the middle and rear parts of the bottom bracket plate 12 is formed with an upwardly recessed, waist-shaped reinforcing cavity 111. Since the mounting holes 110 on the bottom bracket plate 12 are all located at the front, and bolts are inserted into the mounting holes 110 to realize the installation connection of the metal mounting bracket, and the middle and rear parts of the bottom bracket plate 12 are not installed and connected to the parts on the automobile, the reinforcing cavity 111 is added to improve the deformation resistance of the rear part of the bottom bracket plate 12.

[0032] Working principle: This structure is a metal mounting bracket for a control valve on a car. The metal mounting bracket includes two main parts. One main part is the front bracket plate 1, which is connected to the control valve. The other main part is the bottom bracket plate 12, which is connected to the internal components of the car.

[0033] The positioning hole 16 for installing the control valve is set on the upper right side of the main support plate 1, and the lower side of the main support plate 1 has an inclined second reinforcing rib 15. The second reinforcing rib 15 and the first reinforcing rib 14 on the bottom support plate 12 are stamped together. The L-shaped main support has an L-shaped reinforcing rib that is inclined to it. The reinforcing rib improves the deformation resistance of the right side of the bottom support plate 12 and the main support plate 1. At the same time, the L-shaped reinforcing rib will not interfere with the installation of the control valve, so it is set on the lower side of the positioning hole 16.

[0034] Meanwhile, a first side plate 17 and a second side plate 18 are formed on the left side of the bottom support plate 12 and the front support plate 1, respectively, and the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are fixed by welding, which improves the deformation resistance between the left side of the bottom support plate 12 and the front support plate 1. At the same time, since the positioning hole 16 is located on the right side, the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 will not interfere with the installation of the control valve.

[0035] The embodiments described above are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be as set forth in the claims.
