Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fan mounting structure technology, and in particular to a fan mounting structure for a vehicle and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main installation methods for fans in in-vehicle infotainment systems. The first method involves pre-installing the bracket and fan together, then positioning them together on the housing, and finally tightening them with screws. This installation method is the more common structure, but the installation process is relatively complicated.

[0003] The second method involves using screws to pass through the fan cover and the fan in sequence, then securing them to the flange of the housing. This method also suffers from a cumbersome installation process, requiring two positioning and screw tightening operations. Furthermore, because sheet metal bending is needed at the corner joint to accommodate the fan's thickness, the bend at the corner joint is quite close to the housing's bend. However, according to process requirements, a certain distance must be maintained between the two bends. Therefore, this method cannot be used if the fan needs to be fixed close to the corner joint of the housing. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a fan mounting structure for a vehicle is provided, the fan mounting structure for a vehicle includes a bracket 2, a housing 1 and a fan body 3.

[0032] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 3 The specific structure of the aforementioned components and their connection relationships in the fan mounting structure for vehicles are described in detail.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first end of the bracket 2 may be provided with a pre-positioning claw 21. The second end of the bracket 2 may be provided with a locking claw 22. The first end of the outer shell 1 may be provided with a first slot 11, through which the pre-positioning claw 21 can pass, thereby pre-positioning the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1. The second end of the outer shell 1 is provided with a second slot 12, into which the locking claw 22 can engage, thereby fixing the outer shell 1 and the bracket 2. The fan body 3 is then covered and fixed between the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1. This arrangement eliminates the need for screws to fix the outer shell 1 and the bracket 2; the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1 can be separated by pressing the claws to disassemble the fan body 3.

[0034] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1 can be interlocked to form a box. Specifically, the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1 can be approximated as a cuboid box with one side open, so that the bracket 2 and the outer shell 1 have an approximate cuboid shape after being interlocked. The fan body 3 is then enclosed inside the box.

[0035] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the prepositioning claw 21 and the locking claw 22 can be respectively disposed at opposite ends of the bracket 2 (as shown in the figure). Figure 1 As shown, the pre-positioning claw 21 is located at the right end of the bracket 2, and the locking claw 22 is located at the left end of the bracket 2. The first slot 11 and the second slot 12 can be respectively located at opposite ends of the outer casing 1 (as shown in the image). Figure 1 As shown, the first slot 11 is located at the right end of the bracket 2, and the second slot 12 is located at the left end of the bracket 2.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pre-positioning claw 21 can be L-shaped. The first slot 11 can be formed on the first main board 101 of the housing 1. During the process of fastening the bracket 2 and the housing 1, the operator can first insert the pre-positioning claw 21 into the first slot 11 and hook the pre-positioning claw 21 onto the surface of the first main board 101 away from the bracket 2 to achieve pre-positioning. In this case, the pre-positioning claw 21 still has a certain amount of room to move in the first slot 11, so that the position between the bracket 2 and the housing 1 can still be adjusted.

[0037] Further optimized, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 23 may also be provided at the first end of the bracket 2. The support plate 23 may be provided on the side of the prepositioning claw 21, and the surface of the support plate 23 is lower than the surface of the prepositioning claw 21. This allows the support plate 23 to abut against the surface of the first motherboard 101 near the bracket 2 when the prepositioning claw 21 is engaged with the first motherboard 101, thereby assisting the prepositioning claw 21 in positioning.

[0038] In addition, preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first main board 101 of the outer casing 1 may also be provided with a first vent 13 and a recess 100. The first vent 13 may be located in the center of the first main board 101. Correspondingly, a second vent 24 may be provided in the center of the second main board 201 of the casing to facilitate airflow from the fan body 3. The recess 100 may be formed on the side of the first vent 13, and the recess 100 may be located near the first end of the outer casing 1 (e.g., it may be...). Figure 1 (As shown on the right end). The first slot 11 can be formed on the recess 100 to facilitate the pre-positioning claw 21 and the support plate 23 to cooperate with the surface of the second main board 201.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the embodiment, at the second end of the outer casing 1 (which can be as follows): Figure 1The left end (as shown) can be provided with a first end plate 102. The second end of the bracket 2 (which can be, for example, the left end) can be provided with a first end plate 102. Figure 1 The left end (shown) may be provided with a second end plate 202. The second slot 12 may be formed on the first end plate 102 of the housing 1. The locking claw 22 may be formed on the second end plate 202 of the bracket 2.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking claw 22 can protrude from the surface of the second end plate 202. When the outer shell 1 and the bracket 2 are fastened together, the first end plate 102 of the outer shell 1 covers the second end plate 202 of the bracket 2, and the locking claw 22 can be precisely engaged in the second slot 12, thereby fixing the outer shell 1 and the bracket 2 together. In addition, the locking claw 22 has a certain elasticity. When the locking claw 22 is pressed, the locking claw 22 can generate a certain degree of displacement, thereby disengaging the locking claw 22 from the second slot 12, so as to separate the outer shell 1 from the bracket 2.

[0041] In addition, preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 14 protruding from the surface of the first end plate 102 of the outer shell 1 may also be provided. The limiting protrusion 14 can protrude towards the first end of the outer shell 1. A positioning notch 25 may be formed on the second end plate 202 of the bracket 2. When the outer shell 1 and the bracket 2 are fastened together, the limiting protrusion 14 can be engaged in the positioning notch 25 to assist the locking claw 22 in positioning.

[0042] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of pre-positioning claws 21 can be multiple, and the number of first slots 11 is equal to the number of pre-positioning claws 21. The number of locking claws 22 can be multiple, and the number of second slots 12 is equal to the number of locking claws 22. The number of limiting protrusions 14 can also be multiple, and the number of positioning notches 25 is equal to the number of limiting protrusions 14. In actual use, the number of locking claws 22 and pre-positioning claws 21 can be adaptively increased according to the severity of the mechanical environment test.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting rod 26 may also be provided on the bracket 2. Specifically, the limiting rod 26 may be provided on the second main board 201 of the bracket 2, and the limiting rod 26 may be provided on opposite sides of the second ventilation port 24. A corresponding through hole 30 may be provided on the fan body 3. The limiting rod 26 can pass through the through hole 30, thereby positioning the fan body 3.

[0044] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the fan mounting structure for a vehicle as described above.

[0045] During use, the outer shell 1 and bracket 2 of the vehicle fan mounting structure do not require screws for fixation. The bracket 2 and outer shell 1 can be separated by pressing the clips, allowing for quick disassembly of the fan body 3. This vehicle fan mounting structure offers advantages in terms of material quantity, eliminating the need for screws and reducing production and processing costs. Furthermore, the ease of assembly and disassembly greatly improves usability.
