Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a reinforced mounting structure for an on-board controller. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle controllers are typically installed under the center console or behind the passenger-side glove compartment, connected to a tube beam via a bracket. The specific installation location varies depending on the vehicle model and body layout, and must be determined based on the actual situation. The space under the dashboard is relatively limited, housing components such as the air conditioning unit, air conditioning pipes, and wiring harnesses. Therefore, the design of the installation structure must balance space constraints with structural performance requirements.

[0003] In existing technical solutions, if the controller is installed in the lower part of the center console, maintenance and replacement are relatively difficult. It often requires removing the plastic cover near the gear shift mechanism, and sometimes even the entire dashboard trim panel needs to be removed to operate. If it is placed behind the passenger-side storage box, although disassembly and installation are more convenient, the installation structure is usually designed as a long cantilever bracket to avoid the air conditioning pipes and pipe beams that pass through it. This makes it difficult to guarantee its rigidity, strength and fatigue performance, and poses certain reliability risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This specification provides a reinforced mounting structure for vehicle controllers to solve the problem in the prior art that cannot balance space avoidance and structural performance.

[0005] The following technical solution is adopted in this specification: A vehicle-mounted controller mounting reinforcement structure includes a mounting beam, a first support cantilever, and a second support cantilever, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the mounting beam. It also includes a controller extension mounting bracket and a transition reinforcement bracket. One end of the controller extension mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support cantilever, and the controller extension mounting bracket is used to mount the vehicle-mounted controller. The transition reinforcement bracket is fixedly connected to the other ends of both the controller extension mounting bracket and the second support cantilever to enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the vehicle-mounted controller mounting reinforcement structure.

[0006] According to the above technical means, one end of the first support cantilever and the second support cantilever are fixedly installed on the mounting beam, one end of the controller extension mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support cantilever, and the adapter reinforcement bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the controller extension mounting bracket and the other end of the second support cantilever respectively, so as to form a complete force transmission loop, effectively dispersing the load and vibration brought by the vehicle controller, and enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the installation structure.

[0007] In this invention, since the first support cantilever is a bracket on the vehicle body, the space utilization of the vehicle body can be optimized by installing the adapter reinforcement bracket on the other end of the first support cantilever to avoid other existing components on the vehicle body.

[0008] Furthermore, the controller extension mounting bracket is L-shaped to form a clearance structure.

[0009] Based on the above technical means, the controller extension mounting bracket adopts an L-shaped design, which allows it to extend and bend in two or more dimensions, effectively avoiding existing components on the vehicle body, thereby achieving a compact layout of the mounting structure.

[0010] Furthermore, at least one side of the controller extension mounting bracket has a flange structure formed along the length direction of the controller extension mounting bracket, and the flange structure is used to strengthen the controller extension mounting bracket.

[0011] Based on the above technical means, the controller extension mounting bracket has a flange structure on at least one side along the length direction, which improves the strength of the controller extension mounting bracket and can also alleviate the vibration and deformation of the controller extension mounting bracket after being loaded. This avoids the increase in weight and cost caused by increasing the thickness or width of the plate to improve rigidity, and achieves the unity of lightweight and high rigidity.

[0012] Furthermore, the adapter reinforcement bracket includes a first reinforcement plate and a second reinforcement plate, the first reinforcement plate and the second reinforcement plate are arranged in an L-shape, a connecting ear is formed on the second reinforcement plate, the connecting ear is fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket; the first reinforcement plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the second support cantilever.

[0013] Based on the above technical means, the adapter reinforcement bracket is constructed of L-shaped plates. Its first reinforcement plate is connected to the second support cantilever, and the second reinforcement plate is connected to the controller extension mounting bracket through the connecting lug, thus constructing a crucial secondary force transmission path. The vibration and load of the controller can be distributed to the second support cantilever and the controller extension mounting bracket through the first and second reinforcement plates, respectively, preventing the vibration and load of the controller from directly acting on the second support cantilever and the controller extension mounting bracket, thereby enhancing the integrity, rigidity and fatigue durability of the entire installation system.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of connecting ears is two or more, and each connecting ear is fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket.

[0015] According to the above technical means, two or more connecting ears are fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket, and a multi-node rigid connection is formed between the adapter reinforcement bracket and the controller extension mounting bracket. This increases the connection area between the adapter reinforcement bracket and the controller extension mounting bracket, thereby enabling the load and vibration stress to be distributed more evenly, avoiding stress concentration that may occur with single-point connection, and improving the fatigue strength and long-term reliability of the connection.

[0016] Furthermore, weight-reducing holes are formed on the second reinforcing plate.

[0017] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, weight reduction holes are set in the second reinforcing plate, which effectively reduces the amount of material used without affecting the main load-bearing structure, thereby achieving the lightweighting of the second reinforcing plate and reducing the overall vehicle weight and material costs.

[0018] Furthermore, a reinforcing flange is formed on the second reinforcing plate along the periphery of the weight reduction hole.

[0019] According to the above-mentioned technical means, a reinforcing flange is formed on the second reinforcing plate along the periphery of the weight reduction hole, which not only effectively offsets the local stiffness loss caused by the weight reduction hole, but also enhances the edge strength of the second reinforcing plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the second reinforcing plate and the connecting ear are not in the same plane, and a reinforcing protrusion is formed between the second reinforcing plate and the connecting ear.

[0021] According to the above-mentioned technical means, a reinforcing protrusion is formed between the second reinforcing plate and the connecting ear, which enhances the bending and torsional deformation resistance of the connection area between the second reinforcing plate and the connecting ear; at the same time, the reinforcing protrusion can also stably transfer the load and vibration transmitted by the second reinforcing plate to the connection, avoiding stress concentration at the transition point of the connection between the second reinforcing plate and the connecting ear.

[0022] Furthermore, a reinforcing groove is formed on the second support cantilever along the length direction of the second support cantilever, and the reinforcing groove is used to enhance the overall strength of the second support cantilever.

[0023] According to the above-mentioned technical means, a reinforcing groove is formed on the second support cantilever along the length direction. Without increasing or slightly increasing the amount of material, the moment of inertia of the second support cantilever section is increased. When the second support cantilever is subjected to the load from the controller, its ability to resist bending deformation is enhanced.

[0024] Furthermore, a curved beam is formed in the middle of the mounting beam, and connecting components are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting beam. The connecting components are used to mount the mounting beam on the vehicle body; the first support cantilever and the second support cantilever are located between the curved beam and one of the connecting components.

[0025] According to the above technical means, the mounting beam is provided with connecting components at both ends. The mounting beam can be installed on the vehicle body through the connecting components, thereby enabling the first support cantilever, the second support cantilever, the controller extension mounting bracket and the adapter reinforcement bracket installed on the mounting beam to be installed on the vehicle body, increasing the connection area between the device and the vehicle body, and thus increasing the connection stability between the device and the vehicle body.

[0026] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects: One end of the first support cantilever and the second support cantilever are fixedly mounted on the mounting beam. One end of the controller extension mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support cantilever, and the adapter reinforcement bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the controller extension mounting bracket and the other end of the second support cantilever, respectively, to form a complete force transmission loop, which effectively disperses the load and vibration brought by the vehicle controller and enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the mounting structure.

[0036] The technical solutions provided in the various embodiments of this specification are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle controller mounting reinforcement structure, including a mounting beam 1, a first support cantilever 2, and a second support cantilever 3. One end of the first support cantilever 2 and the second support cantilever 3 are fixedly mounted on the mounting beam 1. It also includes a controller extension mounting bracket 4 and a transition reinforcement bracket 5. One end of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support cantilever 2, and the controller extension mounting bracket 4 is used to mount the vehicle controller. The transition reinforcement bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 and the other end of the second support cantilever 3, respectively, to enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the vehicle controller mounting reinforcement structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting beam 1 is installed on the mounting plate at the lower part of the A-pillar of the vehicle body.

[0039] In this preferred embodiment, the first support cantilever 2 has flanged structures (flares in the figure) formed on both sides along the length direction to increase the connection area between the first support cantilever 2 and the mounting beam 1, increase the connection stability between the first support cantilever 2 and the mounting beam 1, and increase the bending resistance of the first support cantilever 2; similarly, the second support cantilever 3 has flanged structures (flares in the figure) formed on both sides along the length direction to increase the connection stability between the second support cantilever 3 and the mounting beam 1, and increase the bending resistance of the second support cantilever 3.

[0040] In this preferred embodiment, weight reduction holes are formed on the flange structure of the first support cantilever 2 and the second support cantilever 3.

[0041] One end of the first support cantilever 2 and the second support cantilever 3 are fixedly installed on the mounting beam 1. One end of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support cantilever 2, and the adapter reinforcement bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 and the other end of the second support cantilever 3 respectively, so as to form a complete force transmission loop, effectively dispersing the load and vibration brought by the vehicle controller, and enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the mounting structure. Since the first support cantilever 2 is a bracket on the vehicle body, the adapter reinforcement bracket 5 can be installed on the other end of the first support cantilever 2 to avoid other existing components on the vehicle body, thereby optimizing the space utilization of the vehicle body.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the controller extension mounting bracket 4 is L-shaped to form a clearance structure. The L-shaped design of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 allows it to extend and bend in two or more dimensions, effectively avoiding existing components on the vehicle body, thereby achieving a compact layout of the mounting structure.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a flange structure 41 is formed on at least one side of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 along its length direction. The flange structure 41 is used to enhance the strength of the controller extension mounting bracket 4. The flange structure 41 on at least one side of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 along its length direction improves the strength of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 and also alleviates vibration and deformation of the controller extension mounting bracket 4 under load. This avoids the increase in weight and cost caused by increasing the thickness or width of the plate to improve rigidity, thus achieving a balance between lightweight and high rigidity.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the adapter reinforcement bracket 5 includes a first reinforcement plate 51 and a second reinforcement plate 51. The first reinforcement plate 51 and the second reinforcement plate 51 are arranged in an L-shape. A connecting ear 53 is formed on the second reinforcement plate 51. The connecting ear 53 is fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket 4. The first reinforcement plate 51 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second support cantilever 3.

[0045] The adapter reinforcement bracket 5 is constructed of L-shaped plates. Its first reinforcement plate 51 is connected to the second support cantilever 3, and the second reinforcement plate 51 is connected to the controller extension mounting bracket 4 through the connecting ear 53, thus forming a crucial secondary force transmission path. The vibration and load of the controller can be distributed to the second support cantilever 3 and the controller extension mounting bracket 4 through the first reinforcement plate 51 and the second reinforcement plate 51, respectively, preventing the vibration and load of the controller from acting directly on the second support cantilever 3 and the controller extension mounting bracket 4, thereby enhancing the integrity, rigidity and fatigue durability of the entire installation system.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two or more connecting ears 53, and each connecting ear 53 is fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket 4.

[0047] In this preferred embodiment, the controller extension mounting bracket 4 has a plurality of first mounting holes (circular holes in the figure) and each connecting ear 53 has a second mounting hole (circular hole in the figure). By aligning the second mounting hole with a certain first mounting hole, the connecting ear 53 can be fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket 4. Other second mounting holes not connected to the connecting ear 53 are used to install other parts of the vehicle body.

[0048] Two or more connecting ears 53 are fixedly connected to the controller extension mounting bracket 4. The adapter reinforcement bracket 5 and the controller extension mounting bracket 4 form a multi-node rigid connection, which can increase the connection area between the adapter reinforcement bracket 5 and the controller extension mounting bracket 4, thereby enabling the load and vibration stress to be distributed more evenly, avoiding stress concentration that may occur with single-point connection, and improving the fatigue strength and long-term reliability of the connection.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a weight-reducing hole 54 is formed on the second reinforcing plate 51.

[0050] Based on the above technical means, weight reduction holes 54 are provided on the second reinforcing plate 51. Without affecting the main load-bearing structure, the amount of material used is effectively reduced, the second reinforcing plate 51 is made lighter, and the overall vehicle weight and material cost are reduced.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing flange 55 is formed on the second reinforcing plate 51 around the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 54. The reinforcing flange 55 formed on the second reinforcing plate 51 around the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 54 not only effectively offsets the local stiffness loss caused by the weight-reducing hole 54, but also enhances the edge strength of the second reinforcing plate 51.

[0052] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the second reinforcing plate 51 and the connecting ear 53 are not in the same plane, and a reinforcing protrusion 56 is formed between the second reinforcing plate 51 and the connecting ear 53. The reinforcing protrusion 56 enhances the bending and torsional deformation resistance of the connection area between the second reinforcing plate 51 and the connecting ear 53; at the same time, the reinforcing protrusion 56 can also stably transfer the load and vibration transmitted by the second reinforcing plate 51 to the connection, avoiding stress concentration at the transition point of the connection between the second reinforcing plate 51 and the connecting ear 53.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing groove 31 is formed on the second support cantilever 3 along its length direction. The reinforcing groove 31 is used to enhance the overall strength of the second support cantilever 3. The formation of the reinforcing groove 31 along the length direction of the second support cantilever 3 increases the moment of inertia of the cross-section of the second support cantilever 2 without increasing or slightly increasing the amount of material used. This enhances the ability of the second support cantilever 3 to resist bending deformation when subjected to loads from the controller.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a curved beam 11 is formed in the middle of the mounting beam 1, and connecting components 12 are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting beam 1. The connecting components 12 are used to mount the mounting beam 1 on the vehicle body; the first support cantilever 2 and the second support cantilever 3 are located between the curved beam 11 and one of the connecting components 12.

[0055] The mounting beam 1 is provided with connecting components 12 at both ends. The mounting beam 1 can be installed on the vehicle body through the connecting components 12, thereby enabling the first support cantilever 2, the second support cantilever 3, the controller extension mounting bracket 4 and the adapter reinforcement bracket 5 installed on the mounting beam 1 to be installed on the vehicle body, increasing the connection area between the device and the vehicle body, and thus increasing the connection stability between the device and the vehicle body.

[0056] In this preferred embodiment, the connecting component 12 has multiple weight-reduction holes (holes in the figure), and bolts or other connectors can pass through the multiple weight-reduction holes to install the connecting component 12 on the vehicle body.

[0057] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
