[0017] In one embodiment, the number of the snap-fit ​​plates is configured to be multiple, and the multiple snap-fit ​​plates are arranged at intervals along a second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0018] Understandably, using multiple snap-fit ​​plates to limit the assembly of the battery disconnection unit within the first housing can improve the stability of the battery disconnection unit assembly within the first housing.

[0019] In one embodiment, the number of sockets is also configured to be multiple, and the multiple sockets are arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction.

[0020] In one embodiment, the second box body is provided with protruding buckle plates on two opposite sides in the second direction, the protruding buckle plates being used to engage with the vehicle controller.

[0021] It is understandable that the above structural design allows the vehicle controller to be installed into the second box in a flat-push mounting manner, thus facilitating the installation of the vehicle controller in the second box.

[0022] In one embodiment, the second housing includes a enclosure, and the second housing houses the vehicle controller through the enclosure;

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 for which protection is sought in this application is used to mount the battery disconnection unit 200 and the vehicle controller 300 to the vehicle body sheet metal.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 provided in this application includes a bracket body 110, which is configured as an integral plastic part. The bracket body 110 includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20, with the opening direction of the first housing 10 being opposite to that of the second housing 20. The first housing 10 is used to house a battery disconnect unit 200, and the battery disconnect unit 200 housed in the first housing 10 can be engaged and limited with the first housing 10. The second housing 20 is used to house a vehicle controller 300, and the vehicle controller 300 housed in the second housing 20 can be engaged and limited with the second housing 20.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, this application designs the mounting bracket 100 as an integral plastic part and uses a snap-fit ​​method to connect the battery disconnection unit 200 and the vehicle controller 300 respectively. This facilitates the production and manufacturing of the mounting bracket 100, reducing costs and weight. On the other hand, it also facilitates the assembly of the battery disconnection unit 200 and the vehicle controller 300 on the mounting bracket 100, improving assembly efficiency and meeting the requirements of new energy vehicles for lightweight, low-cost, and efficient assembly.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first housing 10 has an insertion hole 11 on one side in the first direction X, which is used to engage with the insertion rod 201 on the battery disconnect unit 200; the first housing 10 has a snap-fit ​​plate 12 on the other side in the first direction X, which is used to engage with the battery disconnect unit 200. This allows the battery disconnect unit 200 to be inserted into the insertion hole 11 on the first housing 10 by first aligning the insertion rod 201 with it, and then pushed towards the first housing 10 until the battery disconnect unit 200 engages with the snap-fit ​​plate 12. That is, the battery disconnect unit 200 can be rotatably installed into the first housing 10, facilitating its installation within the first housing 10.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple snap-fit ​​plates 12 are configured, and the multiple snap-fit ​​plates 12 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction Y, wherein the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. That is to say, this embodiment can use multiple snap-fit ​​plates 12 to achieve assembly limiting of the battery disconnection unit 200 within the first housing 10, thereby improving the stability of the battery disconnection unit 200 assembly within the first housing 10. Here, the number of snap-fit ​​plates 12 is configured as two, and the two snap-fit ​​plates 12 are arranged on two opposite sides of the first housing 10. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​plates 12 may also be configured as three, four, or even more, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of sockets 11 is also configured to be multiple, and the multiple sockets 11 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction Y. Here, the number of sockets 11 is equal to the number of snap-fit ​​plates 12, specifically two.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first housing 10 has a notch 13, which corresponds to the snap-fit ​​plate 12. The snap-fit ​​plate 12 is located in the area where the corresponding notch 13 is located. That is to say, the bracket body 110 of this embodiment can provide the snap-fit ​​plate 12 with a space for movement using the notch 13. In this way, it creates a working space for a person to manually move the snap-fit ​​plate 12 and release the restriction on the battery disconnection unit 200.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first housing 10 has a baffle 14 in the area where the notch 13 is located. The baffle 14 is disposed on the outside of the corresponding snap-fit ​​plate 12, and the extension length of the baffle 14 is less than the extension length of the snap-fit ​​plate 12 in the thickness direction of the bracket body 110. This allows the baffle 14 to limit the outward expansion deformation of the snap-fit ​​plate 12, thus ensuring the snap-fit ​​limitation between the snap-fit ​​plate 12 and the battery disconnection unit 200.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second housing 20 is provided with protruding fasteners 21 on two opposite sides in the second direction Y. The protruding fasteners 21 are used to engage with the vehicle controller 300. This allows the vehicle controller 300 to be inserted into the second housing 20 in a translational manner, thereby facilitating the installation of the vehicle controller 300 in the second housing 20. In other words, the vehicle controller 300 can be assembled into the second housing 20 by a flat-push installation method.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the second housing 20 includes a barrier 22, and the second housing 20 houses the vehicle controller 300 through the barrier 22. A buckle plate 21 is disposed on the outside of the barrier 22, and in the thickness direction of the bracket body 110, the extension length of the buckle plate 21 is less than the extension length of the barrier 22. That is, the buckle plate 21 is positioned lower than the barrier 22, allowing the operator to directly press the buckle mating plate 301 on the vehicle controller 300, which is used to match the buckle plate 21. By applying inward pressure to the buckle mating plate 301, the vehicle controller 300 can be easily removed from the second housing 20, significantly improving the convenience of the disassembly operation.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket body 110 further includes a plurality of mounting protrusions 30, each mounting protrusion 30 having a mounting hole 31 for a bolt (not shown) to pass through, wherein the bolt is used to press and limit the corresponding mounting protrusion 30 to the vehicle body sheet metal. Here, the mounting hole 31 is oblong to facilitate the adjustment of the mounting position of the bracket body 110 on the vehicle body sheet metal.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of mounting protrusions 30 is configured as two, and the two mounting protrusions 30 are arranged at two diagonally opposite positions on the first housing 10, so that the mounting bracket 100 has two diagonally opposite mounting points on the vehicle body sheet metal. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of mounting protrusions 30 may also be three, four, or even more, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket body 110 further includes a plurality of positioning pins 40, each positioning pin 40 being used to engage with the body sheet metal, thereby achieving assembly limitation of the mounting bracket 100 on the body sheet metal. Here, the number of positioning pins 40 is configured as two, with the two positioning pins 40 disposed on the same side of the bracket body 110, one positioning pin 40 disposed on one of the mounting protrusions 30, and the other positioning pin 40 disposed on the back of the first housing 10.

[0053] In summary, the operator can first clip the battery disconnect unit 200 and the vehicle controller 300 into the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 of the mounting bracket 100, respectively. Then, the operator can insert the positioning pin 40 on the mounting bracket 100 into the body sheet metal to achieve the pre-installation positioning of the mounting bracket 100 on the body sheet metal. Then, the operator can use bolts to pass through the corresponding mounting holes 31 and screw them into the body sheet metal to achieve the assembly and fixation of the mounting bracket 100 on the body sheet metal. This will achieve the assembly and fixation of the battery disconnect unit 200 and the vehicle controller 300 on the body sheet metal.

[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a new energy vehicle, including a body sheet metal, a battery disconnection unit 200, a vehicle controller 300, and the aforementioned mounting bracket 100; the bracket body 110 is mounted on the body sheet metal, the battery disconnection unit 200 is housed in the first box 10 and is engaged and limited by the first box 10, and the vehicle controller 300 is housed in the second box 20 and is engaged and limited by the second box 20.
