Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular relates to a heavy-duty taillight bracket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the commercial vehicle industry, vehicle weight has a crucial impact on vehicle performance and fuel economy. Therefore, effectively reducing vehicle weight has been a long-term and persistent goal for major manufacturers. The taillight bracket assembly consists of the taillight bracket and the license plate. Some taillight brackets use heavy metal materials and complex welding structures, resulting in significant weight. The license plate, on the other hand, is typically made of a single rectangular sheet. Users fix the vehicle license plate to the mounting surface using bolts. Actual measurements show that a typical vehicle license plate weighs around 150g. The license plate's sole function is to secure the vehicle for photography; the current design results in a license plate weight of approximately 0.7kg, which is structurally redundant.

[0003] Therefore, currently, there is a certain degree of redundancy in the design and manufacturing of vehicle structures such as license plate plates and taillight brackets. This means that while meeting functional requirements, there is still room for further optimization and weight reduction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a lightweight taillight bracket assembly that can be redesigned for weight reduction. While ensuring structural strength, rigidity, and functionality, it significantly reduces the component's weight, thereby enhancing the vehicle's overall competitiveness and market adaptability. Furthermore, it offers advantages such as simplified structure, convenient assembly, and efficient space utilization.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a heavy-duty taillight bracket assembly includes a taillight bracket, the mounting end of which is connected to the vehicle frame via a connecting bracket, and multiple through holes are evenly distributed along the length of the taillight bracket.

[0006] Two license plate plates are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the taillight bracket away from the mounting end of the connecting bracket. The license plate plate is an L-shaped frame, including a horizontal section and a vertical section. The horizontal section is connected to the lower end face of the taillight bracket. The vertical end faces of the two license plate plates form the mounting surface of the license plate. Fasteners for mounting and taking pictures are provided on the vertical section.

[0007] Furthermore, elongated holes are provided along the length of the vertical segment. These elongated holes remove some material, reducing material redundancy while maintaining structural strength, thus further reducing the weight of the vertical segment.

[0008] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided within the end face of the taillight bracket relative to the mounting side of the connecting bracket, and the end of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting part for connecting to the vehicle frame. This makes the connection between the taillight bracket and the vehicle frame deeper and tighter. The mounting bracket and the connecting bracket are respectively placed on both sides of the taillight bracket and connected to the vehicle frame. This provides more stable and reliable force support for the mounting end of the taillight bracket, avoiding deformation or loosening caused by uneven force on one side. The taillight bracket can withstand greater tensile and shear forces, effectively preventing the taillight bracket from loosening or falling off during vehicle operation, improving the connection stability and reliability of the taillight bracket, and ensuring that the taillight can work stably under various complex working conditions.

[0009] Furthermore, two elongated holes are provided, and the two elongated holes are equidistantly distributed along the length of the vertical segment.

[0010] Furthermore, three fasteners are provided, located at both ends of the two elongated holes and between the two elongated holes, respectively. This allows for a more secure fixation of the license plate to the vertical section. Compared to traditional single-point or double-point fixing methods, three-point fixing effectively reduces license plate swaying and loosening during vehicle operation, improving the reliability and stability of the connection. The distribution of the three fasteners more evenly distributes the weight of the license plate and various forces generated during driving. Each fastener bears a relatively small load, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the fastener or vertical section due to excessive force at a single point.

[0011] Furthermore, the relationship between the through-hole diameter d and the taillight bracket height h is: 1 / 3h ≤ d ≤ 2 / 3h. This ratio ensures that the bracket maintains sufficient structural strength while reducing weight. This ratio range has been carefully calculated to effectively avoid insufficient structural strength due to excessively large through-holes, preventing deformation or damage to the bracket under various complex conditions during vehicle operation, and ensuring driving safety.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting bracket is an L-shaped frame, with one end connected to the taillight bracket and the other end connected to the vehicle frame.

[0013] The advantages and technical effects of this utility model are as follows: By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the structure of the taillight bracket and license plate is redesigned to be lightweight, significantly reducing the weight of the components while ensuring structural strength, rigidity, and functionality, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness and market adaptability of the vehicle. Furthermore, it has the advantages of simplified structure, convenient assembly, and efficient space utilization.

[0014] Multiple through holes evenly distributed along the length of the taillight bracket effectively eliminate redundant material and reduce the weight of the taillight bracket itself while ensuring structural strength, thus contributing to a reduction in the overall vehicle weight. A dedicated connecting bracket provides a stable and reliable mounting point to the chassis, adapting to chassis deformation and preventing stress from being directly transferred to the taillights and license plate. Two parallel, spaced L-shaped license plate plates together form the license plate mounting surface, providing effective support and being lighter than a single piece of sheet metal. The license plate is cleverly positioned below the taillight bracket, making full use of the space beneath it; the layout is compact and does not occupy additional space. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a heavy-duty taillight bracket 1 assembly, including a taillight bracket 1. The mounting end of the taillight bracket 1 is connected to the vehicle frame via a connecting bracket 2. Specifically, the connecting bracket 2 is an L-shaped frame, with one end face connected to the taillight bracket 1 and the other end face connected to the vehicle frame. Multiple through holes 1-1 are evenly distributed along the length of the taillight bracket 1.

[0021] Two license plate plates 3 are arranged parallel to each other on the taillight bracket 1, which is located away from the mounting end of the connecting bracket 2. The license plate plate 3 is an L-shaped frame, including a horizontal section 3-1 and a vertical section 3-2. The horizontal section 3-1 is connected to the lower end face of the taillight bracket 1. The end faces of the vertical sections 3-2 of the two license plate plates 3 form the mounting surface of the license plate. Fasteners 4 for mounting the camera are provided on the vertical sections 3-2. Specifically, the fasteners 4 can be bolt and nut assemblies.

[0022] Furthermore, elongated holes 3-3 are provided along the length of the vertical segment 3-2. The elongated holes 3-3 eliminate some material, reducing material redundancy while maintaining structural strength, thus further reducing the weight of the vertical segment 3-2. Preferably, two elongated holes 3-3 are provided, equidistantly distributed along the length of the vertical segment 3-2. Specifically, three fasteners 4 are provided, located at both ends of the two elongated holes 3-3 and between the two elongated holes 3-3, respectively. This allows for a more secure fixation of the license plate to the vertical segment 3-2. Compared to traditional single-point or double-point fixing methods, three-point fixing effectively reduces the shaking and loosening of the license plate during vehicle operation, improving the reliability and stability of the connection. The distribution of the three fasteners 4 more evenly distributes the weight of the license plate and various forces generated during driving. Each fastener 4 bears a relatively small load, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the fastener 4 or the vertical segment 3-2 due to excessive force at a single point.

[0023] Furthermore, a mounting bracket 5 is provided within the end face of the taillight bracket 1 relative to the mounting side of the connecting bracket 2. The end of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a mounting portion 5-1 for connection to the vehicle frame. This makes the connection between the taillight bracket 1 and the vehicle frame deeper and tighter. The mounting bracket 5 and the connecting bracket 2 are respectively placed on both sides of the taillight bracket 1 and connected to the vehicle frame. This provides more stable and reliable force support to the mounting end of the taillight bracket 1, avoiding deformation or loosening caused by uneven force on one side. The taillight bracket 1 can withstand greater tensile and shear forces, effectively preventing the taillight bracket 1 from loosening or falling off during vehicle operation, improving the connection stability and reliability of the taillight bracket 1, and ensuring stable operation of the taillight under various complex working conditions.

[0024] Furthermore, the relationship between the diameter d of the through hole 1-1 and the height h of the taillight bracket 1 is: 1 / 3h ≤ d ≤ 2 / 3h. This proportional relationship between the diameter of the through hole 1-1 and the height of the taillight bracket 1 ensures that the bracket maintains sufficient structural strength while reducing weight. This ratio range has been carefully calculated to effectively avoid insufficient structural strength due to an excessively large through hole 1-1, preventing deformation or damage to the bracket under various complex conditions during vehicle operation, and ensuring driving safety.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure of the taillight bracket 1 and license plate 3 is redesigned for lightweighting. While ensuring structural strength, rigidity, and functionality, the weight of the components is significantly reduced, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness and market adaptability of the vehicle. Furthermore, it offers advantages such as simplified structure, convenient assembly, and efficient space utilization.

[0026] Multiple through holes 1-1 evenly distributed along the length of the taillight bracket 1 effectively eliminate redundant materials and reduce the weight of the taillight bracket 1 itself while ensuring structural strength, thus helping to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle. It is connected to the frame through a special connecting bracket 2, providing a stable and reliable mounting point and adapting to the deformation of the frame, avoiding direct stress transmission to the taillight and license plate 3. Two parallel and spaced L-shaped license plate plates 3 together form the license plate mounting surface, which can provide an effective support mounting surface and is lighter than a single piece of sheet metal structure. The license plate plate 3 is cleverly arranged below the taillight bracket 1, making full use of the space below the taillight bracket 1, with a compact layout and without taking up extra space.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
