[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0058] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0059] Currently, motor vehicles require a battery to provide starting current when starting the engine. However, if the battery fails to provide starting current for some reason, a jump starter is needed for emergency starting. Therefore, more and more users choose to place an extra power source in their vehicles for emergencies. Consequently, vehicles often have a power compartment to store jump starters.

[0060] However, due to the different dimensions of the power supply compartment in different vehicle models, the compatibility and matching of the starter power supply are poor in different vehicle models, resulting in insufficient stability and reliability of the power supply installation, and making installation relatively difficult. Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a mounting bracket and a power supply device.

[0061] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the mounting bracket provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a module of a power supply device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a power supply device provided in this application.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a mounting bracket 100 for mounting an energy storage module 200 on a target device 300. The mounting bracket 100 includes at least a first bracket assembly 10 and a second bracket assembly 20. The structure and function of the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 will be described in detail below.

[0063] Specifically, the second bracket assembly 20 is connected to the first bracket assembly 10, and at least one of the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 is used to connect to the energy storage module 200 so that the energy storage module 200 is fixed to the mounting bracket 100. The first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 are also used to connect to the preset station 301 in the target device 300 so as to fix the power supply equipment 400 to the target device 300.

[0064] For example, the first bracket assembly 10 is configured to be connected to the energy storage module 200; or the second bracket assembly 20 is configured to be connected to the energy storage module 200; or the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 cooperate to connect the energy storage module 200, so that the energy storage module 200 is fixed to the preset work station 301 by means of the mounting bracket 100.

[0065] For example, the target device 300 can be any electronic device or device powered by electricity, such as vehicle equipment, and the preset station 301 is the battery compartment in the vehicle equipment.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, it should be noted that the energy storage module 200 is configured to supply power to the target device 300, and the mounting bracket 100 is used to connect and fix the energy storage module 200 to the target device 300, for example, to connect and fix the energy storage module 200 to vehicle equipment. The energy storage module 200 can be a power source currently supplying power to the target device 300, or it can be a backup power source for the target device 300; this application does not limit this. As one embodiment, the outer contour of the mounting bracket 100 and the preset station 301 are aligned in at least one direction (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 4 The dimensions of the mounting bracket 100 in the X-axis direction shown are the same, or the dimensions of the mounting bracket 100 in that direction are slightly smaller than the dimensions of the preset station 301 in that direction so that the mounting bracket 100 is properly accommodated in the preset station 301.

[0067] It should be understood that different types of target devices 300 (such as vehicle equipment) have power compartments of different sizes. When the energy storage module 200 is placed in the preset work station 301, if the size of the energy storage module 200 does not match the size of the preset work station 301, it is difficult to fix the energy storage module 200 and the target device 300 relatively. Especially when the target device 300 is moving, the energy storage module 200 may shake in the preset work station 301 or even fall off the preset work station 301, causing many inconveniences and safety hazards.

[0068] Based on this, the energy storage module 200 can be connected using the mounting bracket 100 provided in this embodiment, so that the size of the energy storage module 200 mounted on the mounting bracket 100 matches that of the preset workstation 301, thereby fixing the energy storage module 200 on the preset workstation 301. In practical applications, a mounting bracket 100 with a size matching the preset workstation 301 can be selected, and the energy storage module 200 can be connected to the selected mounting bracket 100, thereby fixing the energy storage module 200 on the preset workstation 301.

[0069] Therefore, the mounting bracket 100 provided in this application can assist the energy storage module 200 in being adapted and connected to preset workstations 301 of various sizes, especially for power compartments of different sizes in different vehicles, thereby improving the compatibility and reliability of the energy storage module 200 installation and reducing the installation difficulty.

[0070] Furthermore, in the actual scenario of placing the energy storage module 200 in the preset workstation 301, different mounting brackets 100 can be selected for preset workstations 301 of different sizes, further improving the compatibility of energy storage module 200 installation.

[0071] In some implementations, the extension range of the second support assembly 20 relative to the first support assembly 10 is adjustable.

[0072] Specifically, the second support assembly 20 can move relative to the first support assembly 10. By adjusting the extension range of the second support assembly 20 relative to the first support assembly 10, the size of the mounting bracket 100 can be adapted to the size of the preset work station 301 in the target device 300, so that the mounting bracket 100 can be positioned in the preset work station 301 in the target device 300.

[0073] The second support assembly 20 is extendable relative to the first support assembly 10 in at least one direction. For example, the extension direction of the second support assembly 20 relative to the first support assembly 10 is... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The X-axis direction is shown in the figure.

[0074] It should be noted that, based on the adjustable extension range of the second bracket assembly 20 relative to the first bracket assembly 10, the size of the mounting bracket 100 can be easily adjusted so that the mounting bracket 100 is adapted to the size of the preset workstation 301. Thus, the energy storage module 200 can be adapted to different vehicle models using a single mounting bracket 100.

[0075] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first support assembly 10 is configured to connect to the energy storage module 200, and the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 are extendable relative to each other in a first direction to adjust the dimensions of the mounting bracket 100 in the first direction. Exemplarily, the first direction is the X-axis direction shown in the figure; for ease of explanation, it will be referred to as such below. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The X-axis direction shown is explained as the first direction.

[0076] Specifically, the first support assembly 10 has a mounting portion 11 for mounting a preset target and a connecting portion 12 connected to the mounting portion 11, the connecting portion 12 forming a first guide structure 13; the second support assembly 20 has a second guide structure 21, the first guide structure 13 and the second guide structure 21 are connected, so that the second support assembly 20 is connected to the first support assembly 10 to extend relative to the first support assembly 10. For example, the mounting portion 11 includes a mounting groove 111, and the size of the mounting groove 111 is adapted to the size of the energy storage assembly.

[0077] It should be understood that the first guide structure 13 and the second guide structure 21 form a guiding fit in the first direction. Through the arrangement of the first guide structure 13 and the second guide structure 21, the relative movement direction of the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 can be limited in the first direction, and the smoothness of the relative movement can be improved.

[0078] For example, the connection methods between the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 include, but are not limited to: screw locking connection, slide groove connection, and spring elastic connection. The following embodiment describes one of the slide groove connection methods.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first guide structure 13 includes a first guide post 131, and the second guide structure 21 includes a first guide groove 211, with the first guide post 131 and the first guide groove 211 providing a guiding fit.

[0080] Specifically, the first guide post 131 is disposed on the connecting part 12 of the first support assembly 10, and the first guide groove 211 is disposed on the second support assembly 20. The extension direction of the first guide groove 211 is the direction of relative movement between the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20, i.e., the first direction.

[0081] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 12 is provided with at least one first guide post 131, and the first guide post 131 is at least partially structurally present in the first guide groove 211. Specifically, when the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 move relative to each other, the first guide post 131 is confined in the first guide groove 211 and moves along a first direction.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting portion 12 is provided with at least two first guide posts 131. In one embodiment, the at least two first guide posts 131 are arranged along a first direction and are all configured to form a guiding engagement with the same first guide groove 211. In another embodiment, the at least two first guide posts 131 are configured to form a guiding engagement with different first guide grooves 211.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first guide structure 13 includes a second guide groove, and the second guide structure 21 includes a second guide post, with the second guide post engaging with the second guide groove.

[0084] Specifically, the second guide groove is disposed on the first support assembly 10, and the second guide post is disposed on the second support assembly 20. The extension direction of the second guide groove is the direction of relative movement between the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20, i.e., the first direction. When the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 move relative to each other, the second guide post is confined in the second guide groove and moves along the first direction.

[0085] As one embodiment, the above two implementation methods can also be combined, with a first guide post 131 and a second guide groove provided on the first support assembly 10, and a second guide post and a first guide groove 211 provided on the second support assembly 20, wherein the first guide post 131 and the first guide groove 211 are guidedly engaged, and the second guide post and the second guide groove are guidedly engaged, so as to improve the stability of the guiding engagement.

[0086] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 100 further includes a locking component 30 disposed in at least one of the first bracket component 10 and the second bracket component 20, the locking component 30 including an unlocked state and a locked state.

[0087] Specifically, when the locking component 30 is in the unlocked state, the extension range of the second support component 20 relative to the first support component 10 is adjustable. When the locking component 30 is in the locked state, the second support component 20 and the first support component 10 are relatively fixed. The user can perform at least one of triggering operation and applying force operation on the locking component 30 to switch the locking component 30 to the unlocked state or the locked state.

[0088] It should be understood that during the movement of the target device 300, the first bracket assembly 10 and / or the second bracket assembly 20 may be squeezed by the target device 300 (e.g., the side wall of the power compartment in the vehicle). If the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 are relatively movable, the compression of the target device 300 may cause the extension range of the second bracket assembly 20 relative to the first bracket assembly 10 to be reduced, making the mounting bracket 100 incompatible with the preset station 301, causing the energy storage module 200 to shake in the preset station 301 or even detach from the preset station 301. Based on this, the mounting bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment uses the locking component 30 to fix the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20 relatively.

[0089] For example, in a scenario where the energy storage module 200 is installed in a preset workstation 301 using the mounting bracket 100, the user can first switch the locking component 30 to the unlocked state, and adjust the extension of the second bracket component 20 relative to the first bracket component 10 in the first direction based on the size of the workstation, so as to adjust the size of the mounting bracket 100 in the first direction. After adjusting the size of the mounting bracket 100, the user can switch the locking component 30 to the locked state, so that the first bracket component 10 and the second bracket component 20 are relatively fixed, thereby fixing the size of the mounting bracket 100 in the first direction and preventing the mounting bracket 100 from sliding in the preset workstation 301.

[0090] In some embodiments, the locking component 30 includes a fastener 31 movably connected to the first guide post 131. The fastener 31 is used to clamp the second support component 20 in conjunction with the first support component 10. The tightness of the clamping of the second support component 20 is adjustable so that the locking component 30 enters a locked state or an unlocked state.

[0091] Specifically, the fastener 31 and the first bracket assembly 10 are disposed on opposite sides of the second bracket assembly 20 and are used to clamp the second bracket assembly 20. The tightness (i.e., clamping force) of the fastener 31 and the first bracket assembly 10 clamping the second bracket assembly 20 is adjustable. As an example, the fastener 31 is an elastic workpiece.

[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, as one embodiment, fastener 31 includes, but is not limited to, flange nuts.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first guide groove 211 is provided with a positioning notch 212 adapted to the first guide post 131, and the first guide post 131 can be fixed relative to the second bracket assembly 20 through the positioning notch 212.

[0094] Specifically, the first guide post 131 can be engaged with the positioning notch 212 to fix the first bracket assembly 10 to the second bracket assembly 20 via the first guide post 131. As one embodiment, the positioning notch 212 is formed at the bottom end of the first guide groove 211. When the second bracket assembly 20 moves relative to the first bracket assembly 10 until the first guide post 131 is opposite to the positioning notch 212, the first guide post 131 can engage with the positioning notch 212 under the action of gravity.

[0095] Furthermore, when the first guide post 131 engages in the positioning notch 212, the user can apply force to the first bracket assembly 10 to disengage the first guide post 131 from the positioning notch 212, thereby releasing the relative fixation between the first bracket assembly 10 and the second bracket assembly 20.

[0096] As explained above, if the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 are movable relative to each other, the second support assembly 20 may be reduced in its extension range relative to the first support assembly 10 under the pressure of the target device 300, causing the mounting bracket 100 to be mismatched with the preset station 301, causing the energy storage module 200 to shake in the preset station 301 or even detach from the preset station 301. Based on this, the mounting bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment can also use the cooperation of the first guide post 131 and the positioning notch 212 to fix the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20 relative to each other.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first guide groove 211 has at least one positioning notch 212. As one embodiment, the first guide groove 211 has at least two positioning notches 212, and these notches 212 are spaced apart along a first direction. Each positioning notch 212 corresponds to a different extension range of the first support assembly 10 and the second support assembly 20, so as to adjust the size of the mounting bracket 100 to a preset size corresponding to the positioning notch 212. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first guide groove 211 is provided with three positioning notches 212.

[0098] For example, in a scenario where the energy storage module 200 is installed at a preset workstation 301 using the mounting bracket 100, the user can first switch the locking component 30 to the unlocked state, and adjust the extension of the second bracket component 20 relative to the first bracket component 10 in the first direction based on the size of the workstation, and make the first guide post 131 align with a specific positioning notch 212. Under the action of gravity, the first guide post 131 engages into the specific positioning notch 212, and then switch the locking component 30 to the locked state so that the first bracket component 10 and the second bracket component 20 are relatively fixed.

[0099] In some embodiments, a first connecting structure 14 is formed on the side of the first support assembly 10 away from the second support assembly 20, and a second connecting structure 22 is formed on the side of the second support assembly 20 away from the first support assembly 10. The mounting bracket 100 is used to connect a preset station 301 in the target device 300 through the first connecting structure 14 and the second connecting structure 22.

[0100] The first support assembly 10 includes a first support member 15 and a second support member 16, a mounting portion 11 is formed between the first support member 15 and the second support member 16, and a connecting portion 12 is disposed on at least one of the first support member 15 and the second support member 16.

[0101] Specifically, the first connecting structure 14 and the second connecting structure 22 are configured to form a connection with the target device 300 respectively, and the first connecting structure 14 and the second connecting structure 22 are formed on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 100 in the first direction to improve the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 100 and the target device 300.

[0102] Specifically, the mounting portion 11 is formed between the first support member 15 and the second support member 16, that is, when the first support assembly 10 is connected to the energy storage module 200, the energy storage module 200 is located between the first support member 15 and the second support member 16.
