Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the automotive field, specifically a shared bracket for vehicle communication modules. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, especially the rapid development of new energy vehicles, intelligent assisted driving is becoming increasingly common in various cars, and the requirements for communication in cars are getting higher and higher.

[0003] As automotive communication modules are being updated and replaced at an increasingly rapid pace, and 4G / 5G communication modules need to be used on the same vehicle model according to the actual needs of users, a bracket that can simultaneously mount at least two types of communication modules is needed in order to accommodate modules of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shared bracket for automotive communication modules, enabling switching between high and low configurations of the same vehicle model within the communication module. By integrating mounting brackets for 4G and 5G communication modules, the bracket can be used for both modules via clips and springs. Guide ribs, limiting ribs, and springs work together to secure the modules, effectively fixing them and preventing abnormal noise. This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A common bracket for vehicle communication modules includes a bracket body and a first buckle, a Z-guide rib, a first X-direction limiting rib, a second buckle, a second X-direction limiting rib, and a second Y-direction spring piece symmetrically mounted on the bracket body. The bracket body is also equipped with a first Y-direction spring piece, a fourth buckle, a fifth buckle, a third buckle, and multiple common spring pieces. The first buckle, the Z-direction guide rib, the first X-direction limiting rib, the first Y-direction spring piece, and the common spring pieces cooperate with each other, as do the second buckle, the second X-direction limiting rib, the second Y-direction spring piece, and the common spring pieces. The 4G and 5G communication modules are two existing automotive communication modules, each with different length, width, and height dimensions. The first clip, Z-axis guide rib, first X-axis limiting rib, first Y-axis spring, and shared spring are used for assembling the 4G communication module. The first clip secures the 4G communication module after installation. The Z-axis guide rib guides and supports the 4G communication module during installation. The first X-axis limiting rib, one on each side, restricts the lateral position of the 4G communication module, providing X-axis support. The positioning function is as follows: The first Y-axis spring has a certain elasticity and forms a Y-axis fixing structure with the first buckle; The shared spring maintains a certain thrust on the 4G communication module in the Z-axis direction and forms a Z-axis fixing structure with the first Y-axis spring. The shared spring itself acts on both the 4G communication module and the 5G communication module after replacement, realizing the sharing of the two modules and improving the utilization rate of the device; The second buckle, the second X-axis limiting rib, the second Y-axis spring, and the shared spring are used for the installation and fixing of the 5G communication module; The installation method of the 5G communication module and the 4G communication module is the same.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the number of shared spring pieces is three, and the three shared spring pieces form a triangle.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the support body is provided with a step, the first X-direction limiting rib is located on the step, and the second X-direction limiting rib is located on the side of the support body.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the third and fifth buckles are symmetrically arranged on the bracket body with the fourth buckle as the center.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fourth buckle, the third buckle and the fifth buckle are all made using sheet metal technology, which is a mature manufacturing process and has a long service life.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This product can install 4G and 5G communication modules, eliminating the need to differentiate bracket models for the same vehicle model's height configuration, thus preventing installation errors. It effectively solves the assembly problems of after-sales communication module upgrades, reduces vehicle disassembly and assembly, reduces bracket configuration, effectively increases unit output, reduces defect rates, reduces personnel and material storage, lowers costs, and improves efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] This product achieves interchangeable assembly of 4G and 5G communication modules through its own structure. The 4G and 5G communication modules differ in length, width, and thickness. However, for the same vehicle model, the installation positions of the 4G and 5G communication modules are basically the same. 1. In the length direction, a set of clips on each side completes the connection at the wire harness end. These clips need to be basically flush in the X direction to ensure that the wire harness plug can be used without changing the length of the connected wire harness, allowing the same wire harness to be used with different communication modules. 2. In the length direction, the first X-direction spring and the second X-direction spring are used respectively to... 1. The block is completely attached to the buckle, achieving complete fixation in the X direction; 2. In the width direction, utilizing the thickness and width differences between the 4G and 5G communication modules, the bracket body is designed with partial steps. Guide ribs for the 4G and 5G communication modules are designed at the step positions and the outermost side for assembly, guidance, and fixation; 3. In the thickness direction, guide ribs are added to the bottom surface of the bracket body in the thickness direction for support; three spring clips are then used on the thickness to fix the module; 4. Three buckles are used, designed in different directions, using a three-point positioning method to eliminate poor fixation caused by inconsistent center of gravity of different modules. This product, through structural integration, can adapt to different modules, improve vehicle installation efficiency, reduce error rate, facilitate communication upgrades, and is universally applicable to automotive communication systems; the combination of limiting ribs and spring clips reduces product size and improves product performance.

[0023] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
