[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engine technology, specifically a novel steering pump bracket. Background Technology
[0002] The steering pump is a crucial component of the automotive steering system. Its primary function is to provide hydraulic power, enabling the steering system to operate smoothly. The steering pump bracket is a key component for mounting the steering pump on the engine, serving to support and secure it. The stability and reliability of the steering pump bracket are vital to the normal operation of the automotive steering system. However, existing steering pump brackets have design shortcomings and cannot meet the specific requirements of the engine for the placement and installation of the steering pump. The main problems are as follows:
[0003] 1. The existing steering pump bracket design is rather bulky and occupies a lot of space in the engine compartment, which is not conducive to the compact design of the engine compartment and also limits the layout of other engine accessories.
[0004] 2. Due to the complex structure or unreasonable design of the bracket, the installation process of the steering pump is complicated, which increases the assembly difficulty and time cost, and reduces production efficiency.
[0005] 3. Some brackets exhibit insufficient structural stability when bearing the weight of the steering pump and the vibrations generated during operation. This may cause the steering pump to loosen or shift during operation, thereby affecting the normal operation of the steering system and potentially causing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a novel steering pump bracket.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel steering pump bracket, comprising a bracket body, mounting hole one, mounting hole two, mounting hole three, mounting hole four, mounting hole five, mounting hole six, bushing, mounting hole seven, mounting hole eight, mounting hole nine, mounting hole ten, mounting hole eleven, and multiple reinforcing ribs;
[0008] The bracket body is provided with mounting holes 1 and 2 for fixed connection with the engine cylinder block, mounting holes 10 and 11 for fixed connection with the engine synchronizer cover, mounting holes 3, 4, 5 and 6 for fixed connection with the steering pump assembly, a bushing is provided in mounting hole 6, mounting holes 7, 8 and 9 for fixing the engine wiring harness, and multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on the bracket body to increase the strength of the bracket.
[0009] The wall thickness of the bracket body is 8mm, and the wall thickness of the area where mounting holes three, four, five and six are located is 4mm.
[0010] The bushing is assembled with mounting hole six by an interference fit.
[0011] The multiple reinforcing ribs are distributed on the front and sides of the support body.
[0012] The support body is made of cast aluminum.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Compact structure and high integration: It can simultaneously install and fix the steering pump assembly, engine wiring harness and synchronizer cover, integrating multiple installation functions into a single bracket body, reducing the number of parts and assembly processes, reducing the complexity of the engine compartment layout, occupying little space, suitable for compact engine compartment vehicle layout, meeting the compact design requirements of engine accessories, and making the overall engine structure more compact.
[0015] 2. Convenient and high-precision installation: The mounting holes on the bracket body are clearly positioned (such as mounting holes that mate with the cylinder block, steering pump, chain cover, etc.), and can be quickly positioned and fixed with bolts during assembly, reducing the difficulty of accessory installation; the bushing inside mounting hole six is interference-fitted with the mounting hole, improving the installation accuracy of the steering pump assembly, reducing assembly errors, and ensuring the stability of the steering pump during operation.
[0016] 3. Excellent strength and stability: The bracket body has a wall thickness of 8mm, and the part where the steering pump is installed has a wall thickness of 4mm with thickening treatment. Combined with multiple reinforcing ribs distributed on the front and sides, it effectively enhances the overall strength of the bracket and improves its resistance to deformation. The reinforcing rib design can disperse the vibration and stress during engine operation, prevent the bracket from breaking due to long-term stress, and ensure the reliable operation of the steering pump and engine system.
[0017] 4. Lightweight and cost advantages: The bracket body is made of cast aluminum material, which is lighter than traditional steel brackets while ensuring structural strength. This helps to reduce engine weight and reduce vehicle fuel consumption. Cast aluminum material is less expensive, and the integrated design reduces the number of parts, which can reduce production and maintenance costs.
[0018] 5. Organized wiring harness management: Dedicated mounting holes for engine wiring harnesses allow for neat and secure fixing of the harnesses to the bracket body, preventing tangled wiring harnesses, reducing the risk of friction damage to the harnesses from other components, and improving the standardization and safety of wiring in the engine compartment.
[0019] 6. High durability and reliability: The use of bushings reduces vibration and wear between the steering pump assembly and the mounting hole, extending the service life of the connecting parts; the reasonable structural design and material selection enable the bracket to work stably for a long time under the complex working conditions of the engine, ensuring the normal operation of the steering system and improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
[0020] In summary, this utility model, through integrated structural design, reasonable material selection and detail optimization, has significant advantages in many aspects such as space utilization, installation convenience, strength assurance, and lightweight cost control. It can effectively meet the layout requirements of engine accessories and improve system reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] This embodiment describes a novel steering pump bracket, including a bracket body 1, mounting hole 1 2, mounting hole 2 3, mounting hole 3 4, mounting hole 4 5, mounting hole 5 6, mounting hole 6 7, bushing 8, mounting hole 7 9, mounting hole 8 10, mounting hole 9 11, mounting hole 10 13, mounting hole 11 14 and multiple reinforcing ribs 12.
[0026] The bracket body 1 is provided with mounting holes 1-2 and 2-3 for fixed connection with the engine cylinder block, mounting holes 10-13 and 11-14 for fixed connection with the engine synchronizer cover, mounting holes 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 for fixed connection with the steering pump assembly, a bushing 8 is provided in mounting hole 6-7, mounting holes 7-9, 8-10 and 9-11 for fixing the engine wiring harness, and multiple reinforcing ribs 12 are provided on the bracket body 1 to increase the strength of the bracket.
[0027] The wall thickness of the bracket body 1 is 8mm, and the wall thickness of the area where the mounting holes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are located is 4mm.
[0028] The bushing 8 and the mounting hole 6 7 are assembled by an interference fit.
[0029] The plurality of reinforcing ribs 12 are distributed on the front and sides of the support body 1.
[0030] The support body 1 is made of cast aluminum.
[0031] When using this utility model, firstly, the bracket body 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire bracket. It is fixedly connected to the engine cylinder block through mounting holes 1-2 and 2-3 (preferably by bolts). At the same time, the bracket body 1 is also fixedly connected to the engine synchronizer chain cover through mounting holes 10-13 and 11-14 (preferably by bolts), ensuring the stable installation of the bracket on the engine. The steering pump assembly is fixedly connected to the bracket body 1 through mounting holes 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, and 6-7 (preferably by bolts). Among them, mounting hole 6-7 is provided with a bushing 8. The bushing 8 and mounting hole 6-7 are interference-fitted, which improves the assembly accuracy, reduces vibration and wear, and enhances the connection stability.
[0032] In addition, the bracket body 1 is also provided with mounting holes 7 9, 8 10 and 9 11 for fixing the engine wiring harness. These mounting holes allow the engine wiring harness to be fixed neatly and orderly on the bracket body 1, avoiding the wiring harness from becoming messy and damaged. The bracket body 1 is made of cast aluminum material (preferably ADC12 cast aluminum), which achieves lightweight design while ensuring strength, reducing the overall weight of the engine and production costs. At the same time, the bracket body 1 is also provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 12, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. These reinforcing ribs 12 are distributed on the front and sides of the bracket body 1, which effectively increases the strength of the bracket body 1 and prevents the bracket from deforming or breaking due to stress during engine operation.
[0033] When the engine is running, this utility model, as the connecting carrier of various components, bears various forces and vibrations. However, due to its reasonable structural design and the arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 12, the bracket body 1 can withstand these forces and vibrations without deformation or breakage, ensuring the normal operation of the engine. At the same time, the use of bushing 8 also effectively reduces the wear and vibration between the steering pump assembly and the mounting hole 6 7, improving the stability and durability of the connection. The bracket structure is compact, effectively reducing the space occupied in the engine compartment, reducing the complexity of accessory installation, and meeting the layout requirements of a compact engine compartment.
