[0048] This embodiment provides a mounting bracket for an automotive thermal management system, which improves the vibration damping effect of the automotive thermal management system and extends its service life; at the same time, it can also improve the integration of the automotive thermal management system, save installation space, and reduce costs.

[0049] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket mainly includes a frame assembly 100, a base assembly 200, and a compressor mounting bracket assembly 300. The frame assembly 100 is connected to the base assembly 200; the base assembly 200 is configured to connect to the vehicle body (not shown in the figure); a first locating pin 210 is provided on the base assembly 200. The compressor mounting bracket assembly 300 includes a mounting plate 310 and a first buffer member 320. The mounting plate 310 has a first mounting hole 3101, and both the first mounting hole 3101 and the first buffer member 320 are fitted onto the first locating pin 210. The first buffer member 320 is located on the upper and / or lower end faces of the mounting plate 310; the mounting plate 310 is configured to mount a compressor. It should be noted that the compressor is not shown in the figure.

[0050] Based on the above design, in this embodiment, a first positioning pin 210 is provided on the base assembly 200, and the first mounting hole 3101 and the first buffer member 320 on the mounting plate 310 are both fitted onto the first positioning pin 210. This achieves the assembly connection between the compressor mounting bracket assembly 300 and the base assembly 200, and the compressor is mounted on the mounting plate 310. This improves the integration of the automotive thermal management system, saves assembly space, and facilitates assembly. With the first buffer member 320, when the vehicle body vibrates, the first buffer member 320 can absorb the vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration transmission between the vehicle body and the compressor, reducing noise generation, improving the vibration damping effect of the automotive thermal management system, extending its service life, and achieving cost savings.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first positioning pin 210 and the first mounting hole 3101 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and multiple first positioning pins 210 and first mounting holes 3101 can be provided, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the mounting plate 310 and reducing or avoiding the phenomenon of the mounting plate 310 shaking.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figures 5-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first buffer 320 includes a first upper washer 3201, a first lower washer 3202, and a first bushing 3203. The first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202 are both sleeved on the first positioning pin 210, and the first upper washer 3201 is located on the upper end face of the mounting plate 310, and the first lower washer 3202 is located on the lower end face of the mounting plate 310. The first bushing 3203 is sleeved on the first positioning pin 210, and at least a portion of the first bushing 3203 is located between the first positioning pin 210 and the first upper washer 3201, and between the first positioning pin 210 and the first lower washer 3202.

[0053] The use of the first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202 improves vibration damping, reduces vibration transmission between the vehicle body and the compressor, enhances the stability of the mounting plate 310, extends the compressor's service life, and ultimately saves costs. Optionally, in this embodiment, both the first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202 can be made of rubber.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first bushing 3203 includes a first part 3204 and a second part 3205 connected to each other. The first part 3204 is sleeved on the first positioning pin 210, and the second part 3205 abuts against the upper end face of the first upper washer 3201. The arrangement of the first part 3204 can ensure the relative position of the first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202 as much as possible, reducing displacement phenomena such as shaking of the first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202. The second part 3205 can abut against and press the first upper washer 3201, so that both the first upper washer 3201 and the first lower washer 3202 can fit well with the mounting plate 310, which is beneficial for absorbing the energy generated by vehicle body vibration.

[0055] Furthermore, the compressor mounting bracket assembly 300 in this embodiment also includes a fixing member (not shown in the figure), which is screwed onto the first positioning pin 210 and presses against the first bushing 3203. The fixing member prevents the first bushing 3203 from coming off the first positioning pin 210, while ensuring that the second part 3205 of the first bushing 3203 always abuts against and presses against the first upper washer 3201.

[0056] Optionally, the fastener can be a nut, and the first locating pin 210 is provided with threads that cooperate with the nut.

[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first buffer 320 can be configured as multiple, and the first buffer 320 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the first positioning pin 210.

[0058] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the mounting plate 310 is also provided with a second positioning pin 330, which is configured to connect to the compressor. That is, the second positioning pin 330 corresponds one-to-one with the mounting point of the compressor. Optionally, multiple second positioning pins 330 can be provided to improve the stability and reliability of the assembly between the compressor and the mounting plate 310.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base assembly 200 is further provided with a clearance portion 240, and the mounting plate 310 is configured as a curved surface, with a protrusion. The clearance portion 240 is used to avoid the protrusion. The curved mounting plate 310 has the following advantages compared to the planar shape in the conventional technology:

[0060] Due to its shape, the curved mounting plate 310 can better disperse and transfer stress. When subjected to external forces, the stress distribution on the curved mounting plate 310 is relatively more uniform, avoiding stress concentration and thus improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability. At the same time, the curved mounting plate 310 can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the compressor.

[0061] The curved mounting plate 310 can better resist the influence of external forces, reduce deformation caused by stress concentration, and extend service life.

[0062] The curved mounting plate 310 optimizes the vibration transmission path, allowing vibration energy to be better dispersed and absorbed during transmission. This helps reduce the propagation and accumulation of vibration within the mounting plate 310, thereby improving its stability.

[0063] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base assembly 200 is provided with a second mounting hole 220, and the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket also includes a second buffer 230. The second mounting hole 220 is configured to connect with the body of the vehicle, the second buffer 230 is disposed at the second mounting hole 220, and the second buffer 230 is located on the upper end face and / or lower end face of the base assembly 200.

[0064] The second mounting hole 220 enables the connection between the base assembly 200 and the vehicle body, while the second buffer 230 reduces the transmission of vibration energy from the vehicle body to the base assembly 200, further improving the vibration reduction effect of the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket and enhancing the stability and reliability of the automotive thermal management system.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, the stiffness of the first buffer 320 is less than or equal to the stiffness of the second buffer 230.

[0066] In this embodiment, the stiffness of the first buffer 320 is preferably less than the stiffness of the second buffer 230.

[0067] Specifically, the first buffer 320 is used for vibration isolation between the compressor and the base assembly 200, forming a primary vibration reduction; the second buffer 230 is used for vibration isolation between the base assembly 200 and the vehicle body, forming a secondary vibration reduction.

[0068] When the compressor is running, it generates high-frequency, small-amplitude vibrations (such as the periodic vibrations of mechanical operation). The first buffer 320 has low stiffness (is easily deformed), and can efficiently absorb high-frequency vibration energy through elastic deformation, reducing the transmission of compressor vibration to the base assembly 200 and the vehicle body, and reducing the transmission of noise from the compressor during operation into the vehicle.

[0069] Vehicle body vibrations are mostly low-frequency, large-amplitude vibrations (such as road bumps and engine vibration transmission). The second buffer 230 has high stiffness, which can increase the natural frequency of the entire thermal management system vibration, keeping it away from the low-frequency vibration frequency of the vehicle body (usually 10Hz to 30Hz), thus avoiding structural damage such as deformation of the frame component 100 or loosening of parts caused by resonance.

[0070] Meanwhile, the second buffer 230 connects the vehicle body and the base assembly 200 and needs to bear the weight of the entire thermal management system (including the compressor, refrigerant-side integrated module, and water-side integrated module, etc.). Therefore, the stiffness of the second buffer 230 is set to be greater than that of the first buffer 320. This ensures the support stability of the vehicle's thermal management system mounting bracket and prevents excessive deformation due to the system's own weight. The first buffer 320, on the other hand, only needs to bear the weight of the compressor. Its lower stiffness does not affect its supporting function and also prioritizes its vibration damping efficiency.

[0071] For example, the first buffer 320 in this embodiment can be made of nitrile rubber, and the second buffer 230 can be made of EPDM rubber.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the stiffness of the first buffer 320 is set to 200 N / mm to 1000 N / mm. The vibration load during compressor operation is typically small, with a unidirectional impact force usually ranging from 500 N to 2000 N. Setting the stiffness to 200 N / mm to 1000 N / mm allows the first buffer 320 to deform by 0.1 mm to 1 mm under this load, which is sufficient to absorb high-frequency, small-amplitude vibrations. If the stiffness of the first buffer 320 is lower than 200 N / mm, excessive deformation may cause compressor installation misalignment; if the stiffness of the first buffer 320 is higher than 1000 N / mm, insufficient deformation will result in a decrease in vibration absorption effect.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, the stiffness of the second buffer 230 is set to 500 N / mm to 1000 N / mm. The vibration load transmitted by the vehicle body is relatively large; for example, the impact force during vehicle bumps is typically 2000 N to 5000 N. Setting the stiffness to 500 N / mm to 1000 N / mm allows the deformation of the second buffer 230 to be controlled within 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This allows for the absorption of low-frequency vibration energy through small deformation while preventing excessive deformation from causing overall misalignment of the vehicle's thermal management system. If the stiffness of the second buffer 230 is lower than 500 N / mm, excessive deformation may occur due to the large load on the vehicle body; if the stiffness of the second buffer 230 is higher than 1000 N / mm, the rigidity is too strong, resulting in decreased vibration transmission efficiency and loss of vibration damping effect.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second buffer 230 includes a second upper washer 2301, a second lower washer 2302, and a second bushing 2303. Both the second upper washer 2301 and the second lower washer 2302 are coaxially arranged with the second mounting hole 220. The second upper washer 2301 is located on the upper end face of the base assembly 200, and the second lower washer 2302 is located on the lower end face of the base assembly 200. The second bushing 2303 includes a third part 2304 and a fourth part 2305 connected to each other. One end of the third part 2304 passes sequentially through the second upper washer 2301 and the second mounting hole 220 and is located in the second lower washer 2302. The fourth part 2305 abuts against the upper end face of the second upper washer 2301.

[0075] The connecting component on the vehicle body passes through the second mounting hole 220. The nut is screwed onto the connecting component on the vehicle body to press the fourth part 2305 of the second bushing 2303, preventing the second bushing 2303 from coming off the connecting component, while ensuring that the fourth part 2305 of the second bushing 2303 can always abut against and press the second upper washer 2301.

[0076] The use of the second upper washer 2301 and the second lower washer 2302 improves vibration damping, reduces vibration transmission between the vehicle body and the base assembly 200, enhances the stability of the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket, extends the service life of the automotive thermal management system, and achieves cost savings. Optionally, in this embodiment, both the second upper washer 2301 and the second lower washer 2302 can be made of rubber.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first buffer 320 and the second buffer 230 enable the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket to form a two-stage vibration reduction, which greatly reduces the transmission of vehicle body vibration, reduces noise generation, reduces the vibration impact of the compressor and vehicle body on other components in the automotive thermal management system, improves the driving and riding experience of the occupants, reduces the transmission of noise caused by compressor vibration to the vehicle body, and also reduces the transmission of vibration caused by the vehicle body under various operating conditions to the compressor, thus extending the service life of the compressor.

[0078] Preferably, in this embodiment, four second mounting holes 220 are provided. This allows the connection between the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket and the vehicle body to be stably achieved with only four second mounting holes 220, reducing damage to the vehicle body, thereby ensuring the mechanical strength of the vehicle body, saving costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0079] like Figures 1-2As shown, the top of the frame assembly 100 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes 110. The third mounting holes 110 are configured to connect with the PTC bracket (not shown in the figure), thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket.

[0080] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the automotive thermal management system mounting bracket also includes a mounting panel 400, which is connected to the frame assembly 100. The mounting panel 400 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 410, which is configured to connect to the refrigerant-side integrated module of the automotive thermal management system.

[0081] Specifically, the frame assembly 100 and the mounting panel 400 can be welded together, improving the stability and reliability of the mounting panel 400 and preventing instability during use. The fourth mounting hole 410 on the mounting panel 400 includes, but is not limited to, flow channel plate mounting bolt holes, condenser mounting holes, heat exchanger mounting holes, and flow passage holes. The mounting panel 400 allows for the unified installation of all components used in the vehicle's thermal management system along with the compressor, achieving a high degree of integration of the automotive thermal management system. This improves the utilization of interior space and provides convenience for the installation and subsequent maintenance of the automotive thermal management system.

[0082] It is understandable that the refrigerant-side integrated module can be components such as flow channel plates, condensers, heat exchangers, and evaporators.

[0083] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting portion 420 is provided on at least one side of the mounting panel 400, and a fifth mounting hole 4201 is provided on the mounting portion 420. The fifth mounting hole 4201 is configured to connect with the water-side integrated module in the automotive thermal management system.

[0084] The water-side integrated module connects to the mounting panel 400 via the fifth mounting hole 4201, forming a unified mounting platform with the integrated compressor, refrigerant-side integrated module, and PTC bracket. This reduces the need for separate brackets for dispersed installations, saves interior space, and improves the integration of the automotive thermal management system. Simultaneously, integrated installation fixes the relative positions of the water-side integrated module and other components, reduces pipe connection length, makes the routing of water and refrigerant pipes more compact, reduces assembly errors, and facilitates pipe connection and maintenance.

[0085] It is understandable that the water-side integrated module can be components such as water pumps and water valves.

[0086] For example, the mounting portion 420 in this embodiment can be configured with a triangular or L-shaped folded edge to adapt to the mounting height of the water-side integrated module.
