[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100, which includes a bracket body 110 and at least one connecting bracket 120.

[0030] The bracket body 110 is used to install the air conditioner actuator. The connecting bracket 120 is connected to the bracket body 110, and the connecting bracket 120 has at least one mounting hole 121 at the end away from the bracket body 110. The mounting hole 121 is used to install the fastener connected to the car air conditioner. The outer side of the mounting hole 121 is provided with a reinforcing part 122.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of the air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 is as follows:

[0032] The air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 includes a bracket body 110 and at least one connecting bracket 120. The bracket body 110 is used to mount the air conditioner actuator. The connecting bracket 120 is connected to the bracket body 110, and at least one mounting hole 121 is provided at the end of the connecting bracket 120 away from the bracket body 110. The mounting hole 121 is used to mount a fastener connected to the car air conditioner. Reinforcing parts 122 are provided on the outer side of the mounting hole 121.

[0033] The air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 is used in an automotive air conditioning system. Its function is to connect the air conditioner actuator to the automotive air conditioner. When installing the air conditioner actuator, the air conditioner actuator is connected to the bracket body 110, and then the fastener connected to the automotive air conditioner is connected to the connecting bracket 120. That is, the connection between the connecting bracket 120 and the automotive air conditioner is completed through the fastener, thereby realizing the installation of the air conditioner actuator relative to the automotive air conditioner. When configuring the fastener, the fastener is a connecting screw. Therefore, it needs to be tightened by rotating to stably connect it to the connecting bracket 120 and the automotive air conditioner.

[0034] Since the connecting bracket 120 is equipped with mounting holes 121 for connecting with the fastener, and reinforcement parts 122 are provided on the outside of the mounting holes 121, the local strength and rigidity around the mounting holes 121 can be improved by the reinforcement parts 122, effectively reducing the risk of cracking caused by excessive screw tightening force during assembly, and improving the reliability and service life of the product.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the reinforcing part 122 includes reinforcing ribs 123 arranged along the axis of the mounting hole 121. This improves the stability of the fastener when connected to the mounting hole 121 on the connecting bracket 120.

[0036] It should also be noted that in the prior art, actuator mounting brackets are mostly manufactured by injection molding. However, during injection molding, problems such as poor venting or weld lines are prone to occur. Poor venting obstructs the flow of molten plastic within the mold cavity, forming air holes or weld lines. These defects not only affect the appearance quality but also reduce the mechanical strength of the bracket. Therefore, this embodiment uses the aforementioned reinforcing rib 123 as the reinforcing part 122. This method can improve the local strength and rigidity around the mounting hole 121, allowing the reinforcing rib 123 to distribute the torque applied by the connecting screws over a larger area when tightening the connecting screws, avoiding stress concentration around the mounting hole 121 and thus reducing the risk of cracking. During the injection molding process, the installation holes 121 and reinforcing ribs 123 mentioned above can change the flow path and venting direction of the plastic melt. The shape and position of the reinforcing ribs 123 can guide the melt to fill the cavity more smoothly, while promoting the gas to be discharged from the venting structure, reducing poor venting and weld lines. That is, by optimizing the venting position, weld lines can be guided to areas with less impact on strength, further improving the overall quality of the injection-molded air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100.

[0037] To improve the connection stability between the air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 and the automotive air conditioner, the air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 includes multiple connecting brackets 120, which are distributed on the outer side of the bracket body 110. Furthermore, each connecting bracket 120 is provided with a mesh reinforcing rib 124, thereby improving the structural strength and operational stability of each connecting bracket 120.

[0038] In addition, the air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 also includes a lateral reinforcing plate 125, which is connected to the connecting bracket 120 and the bracket body 110, and the lateral reinforcing plate 125 is set at an angle to the connecting bracket 120. In this way, the connection stability between the connecting bracket 120 and the bracket body 110 can be increased by the lateral reinforcing plate 125. This embodiment is described with the lateral reinforcing plate 125 perpendicular to the connecting bracket 120 as an example.

[0039] As described above, the fastener uses connecting screws. Therefore, the mounting hole 121 is configured as a countersunk hole. Furthermore, at least one protruding rib can be provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 121 around its axis. This rib enhances the local strength and rigidity around the mounting hole 121, effectively reducing the risk of cracking due to excessive screw tightening force during assembly, and improving product reliability and service life.

[0040] In addition, to improve the connection stability between the air conditioner actuator and the bracket body 110, the bracket body 110 is equipped with a receiving groove 111 for installing the air conditioner actuator. Moreover, the receiving groove 111 is provided with a positioning post 112 and a fixing seat 113; the positioning post 112 is used to position the air conditioner actuator, and the fixing seat 113 is used to install and fix the connecting parts of the air conditioner actuator.

[0041] Based on the aforementioned air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment also provides an automotive air conditioning system, which includes the aforementioned air conditioning actuator mounting bracket 100. The air conditioning actuator is connected to the automotive air conditioning system via the air conditioning actuator mounting bracket 100. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the connection between the connecting bracket 120 and the automotive air conditioning system refers to the connection between the connecting bracket 120 and the frame of the automotive air conditioning system.

[0042] In summary, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner actuator mounting bracket 100 and automotive air conditioning system provided in this embodiment have the following advantages:

[0043] First, the automotive air conditioning actuator mounting bracket 100 is used in the automotive air conditioning system for installing the air conditioning actuator. The mounting hole 121 of the automotive air conditioning actuator mounting bracket 100 for mounting the connecting screw is provided with a reinforcing rib 123 on the outside. By setting the reinforcing rib 123, the local strength and rigidity around the mounting hole 121 can be improved. When the connecting screw is tightened, the reinforcing rib 123 can distribute the torque applied by the connecting screw to a larger area, avoiding stress concentration around the mounting hole 121, thereby reducing the risk of cracking.

[0044] Furthermore, during the injection molding process, the setting of the reinforcing ribs 123 can change the flow path and venting direction of the plastic melt. The shape and position of the reinforcing ribs 123 can guide the melt to fill the cavity more smoothly, while promoting the gas to be discharged from the venting structure, reducing poor venting and the generation of weld lines. By optimizing the venting position, weld lines can be guided to areas with less impact on strength, further improving the overall quality of the bracket.

[0045] The addition of reinforcing ribs reduces the defect rate caused by injection molding defects and assembly cracks, thereby increasing the product qualification rate, lowering production costs, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, by enhancing the strength and reliability of the mounting brackets, it helps improve the overall performance and user experience of the automotive air conditioning system, reducing repair and replacement costs due to bracket damage.

[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
