Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology. Specifically, this utility model relates to a mounting bracket for a body controller. Background Technology

[0002] The body control unit, also known as the vehicle computer, is an electronic control unit used in automotive engineering to control the vehicle's electrical systems. Common functions include controlling power windows, power doors, and lights. It simplifies manual operation for passengers, avoids distracting them, and enhances the safety, comfort, and convenience of the vehicle. It is an important component of the car. Existing body control units are usually installed using integrated or separate brackets. When using separate brackets, the body control unit housing typically has corresponding snap-fit ​​structures for matching. Usually, multiple snap-fits are provided on all four sides of the body control unit housing to match the bracket.

[0003] When developing projects using existing technologies for detachable brackets, if a bracket design is required for a single mounting point that is far from the controller's snap-fit ​​structure, factors such as the wiring harness layout and avoidance under the vehicle controller, as well as the bracket's own installation strength, need to be considered. This requires selecting a new mounting point on the same side of the controller housing, which necessitates both opening a new sheet metal bracket on the vehicle body and developing a corresponding set of plastic brackets on the housing. This inevitably increases the development cost and time.

[0004] According to the applicant's search, a vehicle body controller fixing structure disclosed on September 1, 2023, with application number CN202320520222.0, includes a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has symmetrical mounting holes on both sides for connecting the vehicle body. The bottom of the mounting bracket has positioning points for the vehicle body controller. The sides of the mounting bracket have guide grooves for guiding the vehicle body controller installation. The sides of the mounting bracket also have snap-fit ​​protrusions for securing the vehicle body controller. The mounting bracket is made of metal. While this vehicle body controller fixing structure provides a secure fit, only one snap-fit ​​connects to the vehicle body controller. When the vehicle body controller housing has multiple snap-fit ​​points for matching the bracket, more mounting points must be developed on the vehicle body sheet metal, reducing the overall strength of the vehicle body. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model is designed to solve the aforementioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a mounting bracket for a vehicle body controller that can be simultaneously installed in two sets of clips on the same side of the vehicle body controller. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A mounting bracket structure for a vehicle body controller includes a bracket body, one end of which is provided with a mounting mechanism, and the other end of which is provided with a limiting mechanism. A fixing mechanism is provided inside the limiting mechanism, and an clearance groove is provided on one side of the limiting mechanism. A sliding groove mechanism that cooperates with the limiting mechanism is provided on the housing of the vehicle body controller.

[0006] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove and a limiting block disposed in the limiting groove.

[0007] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing block, which is disposed on one side of the limiting block.

[0008] The limiting blocks are arranged in pairs within the limiting grooves, and the fixing blocks are arranged between the limiting blocks.

[0009] The sliding mechanism includes a sliding groove and a locking platform disposed between the sliding groove. The limiting locking block includes a limiting part and a locking part, which are fixedly connected. The limiting part is connected to a limiting groove. The limiting locking block cooperates with the sliding groove. The fixed locking block is provided with a locking groove, which is a stepped groove. The locking platform is stepped and locking with the locking groove.

[0010] The clearance groove is located between the limiting grooves, and the clearance groove is a rectangular opening groove that passes through both ends of the bracket body.

[0011] The installation mechanism includes an installation platform and installation holes on the installation platform. The installation platform is connected to the bracket body. The installation platform has assembly reinforcing ribs on both sides. One end of the assembly reinforcing rib is connected to the bracket body, and the other end of the assembly reinforcing rib is connected to the installation platform. The installation holes are located between the assembly reinforcing ribs.

[0012] The support body is provided with weight-reducing holes, and long strip-shaped reinforcing ribs are provided inside the weight-reducing holes.

[0013] The limiting groove is provided with a group of demolding grooves, which are located between the limiting block and the fixing block.

[0014] The latching part includes a trapezoidal block and a rectangular slider, which are connected. The limiting part is a cuboid. The fixing block includes a trapezoidal platform and a rectangular block, which are connected.

[0015] The technical advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model includes a main body, with an installation mechanism at one end and a pair of limiting mechanisms at the other end. A fixing mechanism is provided on each limiting mechanism, and a clearance groove is provided between the limiting mechanisms. Each limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove and limiting blocks, with the limiting blocks arranged in pairs inside the limiting groove. The fixing mechanism includes fixing blocks, which are arranged between the limiting blocks. This utility model can be simultaneously installed in two sets of clips on the same side of the vehicle body controller, requiring only one set of plastic molds, saving development costs and time. By using two sets of clips to simultaneously install the bracket structure onto the vehicle body controller housing, both installation strength and versatility are greatly improved, significantly enhancing the flexibility of installation positions on the vehicle. When there are two sets of clips on one side of the vehicle body controller, only one installation point needs to be selected on the vehicle body sheet metal surface, ensuring both the installation strength of the vehicle body controller and the strength of the vehicle body sheet metal surface. Numerous weight-reducing holes and reinforcing ribs work together to reduce the weight of the mounting bracket while maintaining overall strength. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove and a pair of limiting blocks, improving installation accuracy and reducing installation difficulty. The fixing mechanism securely mounts the vehicle body controller to the mounting bracket, preventing displacement or detachment. The use of reinforcing ribs enhances the overall structural strength, preventing breakage between the mounting platform and the main body. The demolding groove facilitates easier demolding after production. The clearance groove avoids obstructing the vehicle body controller housing, preventing difficulties in disassembly during rework. This invention features a simple and easy-to-manufacture overall structure, improving installation strength and stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following detailed description of the embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, aims to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate, and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting bracket structure for a vehicle body controller includes a bracket body 1, a mounting mechanism 2 at one end of the bracket body 1, a limiting mechanism 3 at the other end of the bracket body 1, a fixing mechanism 4 inside the limiting mechanism 3, an clearance groove 5 on one side of the limiting mechanism 3, and a sliding groove mechanism 91 on the outer shell of the vehicle body controller that cooperates with the limiting mechanism 3. This mounting bracket for a vehicle body controller has a simple overall structure. It allows two sliding groove mechanisms 91 on the outer shell 9 of the vehicle body controller to be simultaneously mounted onto two sets of limiting mechanisms 3 and fixing mechanisms 4, and then the mounting bracket is fixed to the vehicle body sheet metal surface via the mounting mechanism 2. This invention requires only one mounting point on the vehicle body sheet metal to simultaneously cooperate with two sets of snap-fit ​​joints on the same side of the vehicle body controller, which can improve installation strength, increase the flexibility of the vehicle body controller installation position, and save development costs and time to a certain extent.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes a limiting groove 31 and a limiting block 32 disposed in the limiting groove 31.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing block 41, which is disposed on one side of the limiting block 32. The fixing mechanism 4 is disposed on one side of the limiting block 32 to facilitate its use with the sliding groove mechanism 91 on the body controller housing 9 for installation purposes.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the limiting blocks 32 are arranged in pairs within the limiting groove 31, and the fixing blocks 41 are arranged between the limiting blocks 32. The limiting groove 31 is an open straight groove, and the pair of limiting blocks 32 inside the limiting groove 31 can further enhance the installation strength and prevent the body controller from shifting or falling off.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding mechanism 91 includes a sliding groove 911 and a locking platform 912 disposed between the sliding groove 911. The limiting block 32 includes a limiting part 321 and a locking part 322, which are fixedly connected. The limiting part 321 is connected to the limiting groove 31. The limiting block 32 cooperates with the sliding groove 911. The fixed block 41 is provided with a locking groove 411, which is a stepped groove. The locking platform 912 is stepped and engages with the locking groove 411. The limiting block 32 has an overall T-shaped structure, with the upper part being the locking part 322 and the lower part being the limiting part 321. The limiting block 32 works in conjunction with the slide groove 911 on the body controller housing 9. The engaging part 322 extends into the slide groove 911, and the limiting part 321 is located at the opening of the slide groove 911. The engagement part 322, in conjunction with the slide groove 911, restricts the movement of the body controller housing 9 along the vertical direction of the engaging part 322, thus improving the overall installation strength. The slot 411, in conjunction with the locking platform 912 on the body controller housing 9, restricts the body controller from sliding along the direction of the limiting slot 31, preventing the body controller from shifting and falling off due to vehicle vibration. The engagement of the slot 411 and the locking platform 912 also allows workers to more intuitively judge whether the body controller is installed correctly, improving overall reliability.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clearance groove 5 is located between the limiting grooves 31, and the clearance groove 5 is a rectangular opening groove that passes through both ends of the bracket body 1. Since a large number of wiring harnesses and pipes are arranged inside a car, the clearance groove 5 provides passage space for these wiring harnesses and pipes, preventing them from being squeezed during the installation of the body controller and bracket, thus avoiding problems such as wire damage, abnormal signal transmission, or pipe blockage and leakage. The interior space of the car body is compact and contains many other components, such as standard parts like bolts, nuts, and clips, or other electronic modules and mechanical structural parts. The clearance groove 5 prevents the mounting bracket from interfering with these components, ensuring that all components can be installed correctly and function properly. When installing the body controller and bracket, the clearance groove 5 provides operating space for installation tools, allowing operators to more easily tighten or loosen fixing bolts and other connecting parts, improving installation and disassembly efficiency, and also reducing the risk of improper installation or damage to components due to limited operating space.

[0024] like Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting mechanism 2 includes a mounting platform 21 and mounting holes 22 on the mounting platform 21. The mounting platform 21 is connected to the bracket body 1. Assembly reinforcing ribs 23 are provided on both sides of the mounting platform 21. One end of the assembly reinforcing rib 23 is connected to the bracket body 1, and the other end is connected to the mounting platform 21. The mounting holes 22 are located between the assembly reinforcing ribs 23. The assembly reinforcing ribs 23 prevent the mounting platform 21 from deforming under external forces, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the vehicle body controller's installation position and avoiding problems such as controller movement and detachment due to deformation of the mounting platform 21. When manufacturing the mounting bracket using injection molding, the arrangement of assembly reinforcing ribs 23 can improve the flow of molten plastic in the mold cavity, reduce molding defects such as bubbles and shrinkage marks, and improve product molding quality and production efficiency. Compared to simply increasing the thickness of the mounting platform 21 to improve strength and rigidity, setting assembly reinforcing ribs 23 can reduce material usage while meeting structural performance requirements, thereby reducing production costs. It also reduces the weight of the mounting bracket itself, conforming to the development trend of lightweight automotive design.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket body 1 has weight-reduction holes 6, and elongated reinforcing ribs 7 are installed inside the weight-reduction holes 6. Lightweighting of automobiles is crucial for improving fuel economy, extending the driving range of electric vehicles, and improving vehicle handling performance. The weight-reduction holes 6 directly reduce the amount of material used in the mounting bracket, thereby reducing the bracket's own weight. Although the weight-reduction holes 6 reduce material, the reinforcing ribs 7 inside the holes compensate for the loss of strength and rigidity due to material reduction. The reinforcing ribs 7 can disperse stress, preventing stress concentration around the weight-reduction holes 6, ensuring that the mounting bracket maintains sufficient strength and stability when subjected to the weight of the body controller, vibration, and various external forces during vehicle operation, and will not deform or be damaged due to insufficient strength. In mold manufacturing, the setting of weight-reduction holes 6 is relatively flexible. In manufacturing processes such as injection molding, this structure facilitates the flow and filling of the plastic melt, reduces molding defects, improves product yield, and increases production efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a set of demolding grooves 8 are provided within the limiting groove 31, and the demolding grooves 8 are located between the limiting block 32 and the fixing block 41. The demolding grooves 8 facilitate demolding after the body controller mounting bracket is produced. The demolding grooves 8 reduce mold wear and damage, improve the molding quality of the body controller mounting bracket, and increase production efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 322 includes a trapezoidal block 10 and a rectangular slider 11, which are connected. The limiting part 321 is a cuboid. The fixing snap-fit ​​block 41 includes a trapezoidal platform 12 and a rectangular block 13, which are connected. The trapezoidal block 10 at the front end of the snap-fit ​​part 322 and the trapezoidal platform 12 at the front end of the fixing snap-fit ​​block 41 can automatically correct the alignment direction through "sloping surface contact". The trapezoidal block 10 will slide into the groove 911 on the body controller housing 9 along the slope. Workers can quickly complete the snap-fit ​​without repeated manual adjustments and alignment, which improves production efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting groove 31, the limiting part 321, and the snap-fit ​​part 322 are all chamfered. The core function of the limiting groove 31, the limiting part 321, and the snap-fit ​​part 322 is "precise positioning," but right-angled structures can easily lead to "assembly jamming." The chamfer directly optimizes the assembly experience through "smooth transition." This allows workers to easily install the body controller housing 9 with the mounting bracket, eliminating the need for workers to perfectly align them, reducing installation difficulty and improving worker efficiency.

[0029] This utility model relates to a mounting bracket for a vehicle body controller, comprising a bracket body 1 and a vehicle body controller housing 9. One end of the bracket body 1 is provided with a mounting mechanism 2, and the other end of the bracket body 1 is provided with a pair of limiting mechanisms 3. A fixing mechanism 4 is located within the limiting mechanism 3, and a clearance groove 5 is provided on one side of the limiting mechanism 3. The vehicle body controller housing 9 is provided with a sliding groove mechanism 91 that cooperates with the limiting mechanism 3. In use, both sets of limiting mechanisms 3 and fixing mechanisms 4 can be simultaneously installed with the sliding groove mechanism 91 on one side of the vehicle body controller, and then the mounting mechanism 2 is fixed to the vehicle body sheet metal surface with bolts. Each limiting groove 31 has two limiting blocks 32 to improve installation strength. The locking part 322 includes a trapezoidal block 10 and a rectangular slider 11, and the fixing block 41 includes a trapezoidal platform 12 and a rectangular block 13. The trapezoidal block 10 at the front end of the locking part 322 and the trapezoidal platform 12 at the front end of the fixing block 41 allow workers to quickly complete the locking without repeated manual adjustments, improving production efficiency. The clearance groove 5 facilitates the disassembly of the vehicle body controller mounting bracket. This invention employs numerous weight-reducing holes 6 and reinforcing ribs 7 to reduce weight while maintaining strength. This invention can be simultaneously installed within two sets of sliding groove mechanisms 91 on the same side of the vehicle body controller housing 9, saving development costs and time. The overall structure is simple, with high installation strength, and significantly improves the flexibility of its installation position with the vehicle body controller.
