[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a structure for an intake manifold bracket. By separating the limiting rod from the groove on the surface of the rotating ring, the second bracket can be rotated. Subsequently, the limiting rod is allowed to enter the groove, preventing the rotating ring and the second bracket from rotating, thus improving stability. Furthermore, a connecting spring allows the baffle to automatically reset, causing the baffle to contact the circular stop block and preventing the limiting rod from moving. This effectively prevents the rotating ring from rotating, further improving stability. The mounting holes on the surface of the second bracket can be aligned with different installation positions, adapting to different installation environments and expanding its adaptability. This solves the problem that while the bracket has mounting holes at both ends, primarily for mounting bolts, different vehicle models employ diverse engine compartment layouts and intake manifold designs due to performance and space requirements.

[0015] Preferably, each of the grooves is provided with a circular stop block inside, and the circular stop block is fixedly connected to the rotating ring. Beneficial effects

[0016] This utility model provides a structure for an intake manifold bracket. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The structure of this intake manifold bracket, by separating the limiting rod from the groove on the surface of the rotating ring, allows the second bracket to rotate. Subsequently, the limiting rod is allowed to enter the groove to prevent the rotating ring and the second bracket from rotating, thus improving stability.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a structure for an intake manifold bracket, including a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2. The surfaces of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are coated with a water-based environmentally friendly coating, and the coating thickness is 50 ± 5μm, which improves the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and service life of the bracket. One end surface of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 is provided with a mounting hole 3. An adjustment mechanism 4 is provided inside the end of the first bracket 1 near the second bracket 2.

[0026] The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a rotating ring 41, which is fixedly connected to the second bracket 2. A groove 42 is provided on the outer side of the top of the rotating ring 41. Limiting rods 43 are provided on both sides of the top of the rotating ring 41. A mounting screw 44 is fixedly provided on the end of the limiting rod 43 away from the groove 42. The mounting screw 44 is threadedly connected to the first bracket 1. A baffle 45 is provided on the top and bottom of the limiting rod 43. The cross-sectional shape of the baffle 45 is trapezoidal. The baffle 45 is in contact with the limiting rod 43.

[0027] There are multiple grooves 42, and an annular groove 46 is provided on the inner wall of the end of the first bracket 1 near the second bracket 2.

[0028] The rotating ring 41 is adapted to the annular groove 46. The annular groove 46 is provided with a protrusion 47, and the protrusion 47 is the same shape as the rotating ring 41. One side of the protrusion 47 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 1, and the other side of the second protrusion 47 is in contact with the rotating ring 41. This will not affect the rotation of the rotating ring 41 and prevent the rotating ring 41 from moving up and down. Each groove 42 is provided with a circular stop block 412. The circular stop block 412 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 41. The connecting spring can make the baffle 45 automatically reset, so that the baffle 45 and the circular stop block 412 are in contact, preventing the mounting screw 44 from moving. This can stably prevent the rotating ring 41 from rotating and improve stability.

[0029] Please see Figure 2-3The mounting screw 44 has a groove 48 inside, which extends into the interior of the limiting rod 43. Two moving rods 49 are housed inside the groove 48, and a connecting spring is provided between the two moving rods 49. Multiple vertical rods 410 are also housed inside the groove 48, arranged horizontally and collinearly. Each vertical rod 410 passes through and contacts the moving rod 49. A handle 411 is fixedly attached to one end of the moving rod 49, with one end of the handle 411 located at one end of the mounting screw 44. Moving the two handles 411 reduces the distance between them, and the handle 411... The fixedly connected moving rods 49 move simultaneously. Because the moving rods 49 are located inside the slot 48, they can move within the slot 48. The vertical rod 410 passes through the moving rods 49, allowing the moving rods 49 to move along the vertical rod 410, enabling the moving rods 49 to move linearly. There is a connecting spring between the two moving rods 49. The movement of the moving rods 49 compresses the connecting spring, causing it to deform. When the moving rods 49 move, the baffle 45, which is fixedly connected to the moving rods 49, moves, allowing the baffle 45 to enter the slot 48, separating it from the annular stop block 412 and preventing them from contacting each other, thus facilitating subsequent operations.

[0030] During operation, the mounting screw 44 is rotated, and since the mounting screw 44 is threadedly connected to the first bracket 1, the rotating mounting screw 44 can move. Because the mounting screw 44 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 43, the limiting rod 43 can move along with the mounting screw 44. At this time, the baffle 45 has separated from the annular stop block 412, allowing the limiting rod 43 to gradually separate from the rotating ring 41. Only after separation can subsequent operations continue. After the limiting rod 43 separates from the rotating ring 41, the second bracket 2 is rotated, and the rotating ring 41 fixedly connected to the second bracket 2 rotates simultaneously, allowing the rotating ring 41 to rotate within the annular groove 46, thus changing the position of the second bracket 2 and allowing the mounting holes 3 on the surface of the second bracket 2 to... By aligning with different installation positions and adapting to different installation environments, the adaptability is improved. Furthermore, the other side of the second protrusion 47 contacts the rotating ring 41 without affecting its rotation and preventing it from moving up and down. When the rotating ring 41 rotates, the groove 42 on its surface aligns with the limiting rod 43. After alignment, the mounting screw 44 is rotated again, causing the limiting rod 43 to re-enter the groove 42, preventing the rotating ring 41 and the second bracket 2 from rotating, thus improving stability. Additionally, the connecting spring allows the baffle 45 to automatically reset, contacting the circular stop block 412 to prevent the mounting screw 44 from moving, thus stably preventing the rotating ring 41 from rotating and improving stability.

[0031] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
