[0031] The tube bundle support assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the tube bundle support assembly 1 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a tube bundle support 10 and a cable tie 20.

[0033] The tube bundle support 10 includes a rear tube bundle support 100 and a front tube bundle support 200. The rear tube bundle support 100 is adapted to be installed at the front of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, and the front tube bundle support 200 is adapted to be installed at the rear of the thrust rod crossbeam 30. Both the rear tube bundle support 100 and the front tube bundle support 200 include a mounting portion 110 and a horizontal extension portion 120. The mounting portion 110 is mounted on the thrust rod crossbeam 30 and extends upwards. The horizontal extension portion 120 extends along the length of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, and its middle portion is connected to the upper end of the mounting portion 110. A cable tie 20 is wrapped around the horizontal extension portion 120 and adapted to secure the tube bundle 40.

[0034] According to the tube bundle support assembly 1 of this utility model embodiment, the mounting part 110 is mounted on the thrust rod crossbeam 30 and extends upward, the horizontal extension part 120 extends along the length direction of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, the cable tie 20 is wrapped around the horizontal extension part 120 and is suitable for binding the tube bundle 40, the rear tube bundle support 100 and the front tube bundle support 200 can guide and fix the tube bundle 40, reduce the dynamic interference wear between the tube bundle 40 and other components, and the tube bundle support assembly 1 fixes the tube bundle 40 so that the tube bundle 40 can remain stable during vehicle driving, especially under severe steering or bumpy conditions, which can reduce the movement and wear of the tube bundle 40, thereby improving the braking safety performance of the whole vehicle.

[0035] In addition, cable ties 20 wrap around the horizontal extension 120 and secure the tube bundles 40, so that all the tube bundles 40 can be neatly arranged in a fixed position. The use of cable ties 20 ensures that the tube bundles 40 will not be displaced by movement, while also making the tube bundles 40 appear visually neat and uniform.

[0036] Therefore, the tube bundle support assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present utility model has the advantages of improving the safety performance of the whole vehicle and the neatness of the pipeline layout.

[0037] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the horizontal extension 120 are provided with downwardly bent portions 121.

[0038] The bending section 121 structure can effectively prevent the edges of the tube bundle support assembly 1 from directly contacting the tube bundle 40. During the bundling or installation process, the bent edge can reduce the sharp contact between the tube bundle 40 and the surface of the tube bundle support 10, thereby reducing wear and scratches on the surface of the tube bundle 40, reducing the risk of wear and damage, and extending the service life of the tube bundle 40.

[0039] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The horizontal extension 120 is provided with a cable tie groove 122, which is located on opposite sides in the width direction of the horizontal extension 120, and the cable tie 20 is accommodated in the cable tie groove 122.

[0040] The cable tie groove 122 can effectively fix the position of the cable tie 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the tube bundle 40 on the tube bundle support 10 and preventing the tube bundle 40 from sliding or shifting during vehicle transportation or use. The cable tie 20 can also evenly distribute the force on the tube bundle 40, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the safety and stability of the tube bundle 40.

[0041] Meanwhile, the cable tie slot 122 simplifies the installation of the cable tie 20, allowing workers to quickly secure the tube bundle 40 to the tube bundle support 10, saving construction time and manpower. The cable tie slot 122 also facilitates quick adjustment of the tightness of the tube bundle 40 during maintenance, making necessary inspections and upkeep convenient. Furthermore, the cable tie slot 122 ensures good contact between the cable tie 20 and the tube bundle 40, reducing direct friction between the cable tie 20 and the tube bundle 40 during fixing, lowering the risk of wear, and protecting the integrity of the tube bundle.

[0042] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the mounting part 110 extends beyond the top surface of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, and the horizontal extension part 120 is located above the thrust rod crossbeam 30.

[0043] The tube bundle 40 is fixedly installed on the horizontal extension 120, thus fixing the tube bundle 40 above the thrust rod crossbeam 30. This effectively utilizes space, ensures sufficient spacing between the tube bundle 40 and other components, helps prevent tube bundle 40 malfunctions caused by interference, avoids mutual interference between components, ensures the tube bundle 40 is safer and more stable during operation, and prevents the tube bundle 40 from moving due to vibration or external force.

[0044] Meanwhile, by fixing the tube bundle 40 above the thrust rod crossbeam 30, the overall structure of the tube bundle support assembly 1 can be more compact and neat, improving the overall visual effect. This not only helps to improve the working environment but also enhances the professional image of the product during display.

[0045] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the horizontal extension 120 are constructed with edge chamfers 123.

[0046] The chamfered edges 123 can effectively reduce the interference between the tube bundle support 10 and the thrust rod crossbeam 30 and the tube bundle 40, reduce the wear caused by friction between the components, thereby extending the service life of each component and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0047] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the horizontal extension 120 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting portion 110 in the width direction. The symmetrical arrangement of the horizontal extensions 120 allows the same tube bundle support 10 to be used simultaneously at the front and rear positions of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, ensuring the uniformity of the guiding fixation. This structure simplifies the structure and improves the overall fixation effect of the tube bundle support assembly 1.

[0048] Since the same tube bundle support assembly 1 can be used for fixing, the need to develop or use multiple different tube bundle support assemblies is avoided, thereby effectively reducing resource waste and saving material and manufacturing costs. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement of the horizontal extension 120 reduces the complexity of providing multiple supports, making the design process more efficient, reducing the selection work during installation, and simplifying the design and implementation process of the overall system.

[0049] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the tube bundle support 10 is made of alloy steel. The mounting portion 110 and the horizontal extension portion 120 both have a thickness of 2.5mm to 3.5mm.

[0050] Alloy steel possesses excellent strength and corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand significant loads and maintain stability under varying environmental conditions, thus ensuring a long service life for the tube bundle support 10. The tube bundle support 10 is selected with a thickness of 2.5mm to 3.5mm, effectively controlling the overall weight of the tube bundle support assembly 1 while ensuring strength. This allows the tube bundle support 10 to minimize its weight while meeting structural strength and stability requirements. Simultaneously, the high strength characteristics of alloy steel allow the tube bundle support assembly 1 to maintain the required load-bearing capacity despite its thinner thickness, further achieving lightweight design.

[0051] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0052] The vehicle according to the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a frame longitudinal beam 50, an axle assembly (not shown in the figure), a thrust rod crossbeam 30, a tube bundle support assembly 1 and a tube bundle 40 in the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] The axle assembly includes a middle axle chamber and a rear axle chamber. A thrust rod crossbeam 30 is mounted on the vehicle frame. Multiple tube bundle brackets 10 are mounted on the thrust rod crossbeam 30. Tube bundles 40 are mounted on the tube bundle bracket assembly 1, and the tube bundles 40 are respectively connected to the middle axle chamber and the rear axle chamber.

[0054] The frame longitudinal beam 50, as the main load-bearing structure of the vehicle, provides the necessary strength and stability to withstand forces from the road surface and other power systems. The middle and rear axle air chambers in the axle assembly effectively absorb road vibrations, improving ride comfort and dynamic performance, and ensuring vehicle stability under various road conditions. The thrust rod crossbeam 30, as a crucial component connecting the frame and axle, provides necessary support and ensures the effectiveness of the suspension system, enhancing overall load-bearing capacity. The tube bundle 40, as the connecting component between the middle and rear axle air chambers, plays a key role in power transmission within the vehicle's power system. It maintains the proper position of the air chambers during dynamic driving and effectively transmits force.

[0055] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rear tube bundle support 100 and the front tube bundle support 200 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the thrust rod crossbeam 30.

[0056] The rear tube bundle bracket 100 and the front tube bundle bracket 200 are arranged on the front and rear sides of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, which can also fix the tube bundles 40 on the front and rear sides of the thrust rod crossbeam 30, thereby improving the braking safety of the vehicle.

[0057] A symmetrical layout can effectively reduce stress concentration at suspension components and structural connection points, reduce the risk of fatigue damage to various components, and thus extend the service life of vehicle parts.

[0058] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the frame longitudinal beam 50 includes a left longitudinal beam and a right longitudinal beam, the tube bundle bracket 10 is installed on one side of the tube bundle bracket 10 adjacent to the left or right longitudinal beam, and the tube bundle 40 extends along the left or right longitudinal beam to the thrust rod crossbeam 30 and is fixed to the tube bundle bracket assembly 1.

[0059] The tube bundle 40 extends along the longitudinal beam 50 of the frame and is fixed to the tube bundle bracket 10, which helps to achieve uniform force distribution. Especially when the load is concentrated or the suspension system is working, it can effectively disperse the force from the axle assembly and reduce local stress concentration.

[0060] The vehicle according to the present invention has advantages such as improved overall vehicle safety performance and neat pipeline layout by utilizing the tube bundle bracket assembly 1 of the above embodiments of the present invention.
