Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety bracket technology, specifically to an auxiliary bracket for installing automotive suspension components. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive repair and maintenance, vehicle safety brackets are core tools for ensuring operational safety. After using a jack to lift the vehicle, a safety bracket is used to support it, allowing for the replacement of relevant components on the vehicle's chassis, such as suspension parts. However, traditional brackets often suffer from the following two problems: Firstly, the adjustment structure of an adjustable bracket is a core factor affecting its stability and lifespan. Under prolonged limit and load-bearing conditions, the parts that limit and lock the height will wear out quickly, leading to a reduced equipment lifespan. However, after one adjustment, a bracket often only maintains one height for continuous use. In this case, the relatively fragile adjustment structure will affect the cost-effectiveness of this type of bracket. Secondly, mobility is limited. Traditional brackets are mostly equipped with fixed feet at the bottom, which can ensure support stability. However, when the position needs to be adjusted, it needs to be lifted to reduce the friction between it and the ground. However, brackets are generally heavy, making it extremely inconvenient to operate in confined spaces such as under vehicles.

[0003] An auxiliary bracket for mounting automotive suspension components is proposed to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary bracket for installing automotive suspension components, in order to solve the following problems mentioned in the background art: First, the adjustment structure of the adjustable bracket is a core factor affecting the stability and service life of the bracket. Under long-term limiting and load-bearing conditions, the parts that limit and lock the height will wear out quickly, leading to a reduction in the life of the equipment. However, after one adjustment, a bracket often only maintains one height for continuous use. At this time, the relatively fragile adjustment structure will affect the cost-effectiveness of this type of bracket. Second, the mobility is limited. Traditional brackets are mostly equipped with fixed feet at the bottom, which can ensure support stability, but when the position needs to be adjusted, it needs to be lifted to reduce the friction between it and the ground. However, the bracket is generally heavy, which makes it extremely inconvenient to operate in narrow spaces such as under the vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary bracket for mounting automotive suspension components, including a bracket seat; A raising component is installed on the top surface of the bracket base, and auxiliary moving mechanisms are provided at the four inner corners of the bracket base. The shim assembly includes a pad installed on the top surface of the bracket base. Connecting posts are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom surface of the pad. A locking ring is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting post. A positioning hole is opened on the top surface of the bracket base. A first spring is provided below the positioning hole. A pad ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first spring. The auxiliary mechanism includes a fixed plate fixed to the inner side of the bracket seat, a lifting column slidably connected through the middle of the fixed plate, a support wheel fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lifting column, a limit nut sleeved on the top end of the lifting column, and a second spring sleeved on the outside of the lifting column.

[0006] Preferably, the top end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the bracket seat, the outer side of the connecting column is symmetrically provided with guide grooves, the top end of the guide groove is provided with a locking groove, the inner side of the locking ring is symmetrically fixedly connected with an adapter block, the connecting column is movably connected to the bracket seat, and the connecting column passes through the positioning hole and the inner cavity of the first spring from top to bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the adapter block is slidably connected to the guide groove, and the adapter block is engaged with the locking groove.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the locking ring is fitted with the bottom surface of the pad ring, and a torsion lug is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking ring.

[0009] Preferably, a support pad is fixedly connected to the top end of the second spring, and the bottom end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting column is threadedly connected to the limiting nut, the bottom surface of the limiting nut is rotatably connected to the lifting pad, and the lifting column and the lifting pad are clearance-fitted.

[0011] Preferably, the washer is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting column, and the fixing plate is clearance-fitted with the lifting column.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This automotive suspension component mounting auxiliary bracket, through its ingenious structural design, facilitates installation, provides stable support, and allows for flexible replacement of pads to adapt to different height requirements. The auxiliary movable mechanism makes the bracket easy to move and stable to install, and also facilitates spring replacement and initial height adjustment, greatly improving the practicality and adaptability of the device. Its specific details are as follows: 1. Through the coordinated action of components such as the connecting column, locking ring, positioning hole, first spring, and washer ring, convenient and stable installation is achieved. The guide groove and locking groove on the outside of the connecting column cooperate with the adapter block on the inside of the locking ring, allowing the locking ring to slide smoothly along the guide groove and lock into the locking groove by rotation. This design not only facilitates the installation process but also effectively prevents the connecting column from being pulled out of the positioning hole, greatly increasing the stability of the device during use. Simultaneously, by replacing the washer blocks of different heights, the support height of the device can be flexibly adjusted to meet the installation needs of different automotive suspension components, achieving safe support at different heights and improving the versatility and practicality of the device. The stable stacking assembly and adjustment method makes this safety bracket more stable, avoiding the wear and tear of the teeth on some existing toothed column adjustment brackets that affects the service life of the equipment, and also avoiding the situation where fixed columns cannot be adjusted and have low practicality.

[0013] 2. When the bracket is placed on the ground, the support wheels are in contact with the ground. Due to the elastic force of the second spring, the bracket seat is lifted away from the ground. At this time, the support wheels can roll freely on the ground, allowing the operator to easily push the bracket under the vehicle without expending a lot of effort to move it, thus improving work efficiency. When the weight of the vehicle presses on the bracket, the second spring is stretched, and the bracket seat is pressed to the ground, ensuring stability during installation. In addition, by adjusting the height of the limit nut on the lifting column, the initial height of the bracket seat can be adjusted to accommodate second springs with different elastic properties, further enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the device.

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.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: an auxiliary bracket for installing automotive suspension components, including a bracket seat 1; A lifting component 2 is installed on the top surface of the bracket base 1, and auxiliary moving mechanisms 3 are provided at the four inner corners of the bracket base 1; The shim assembly 2 includes a pad installed on the top surface of the bracket base 1. Connecting posts 201 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom surface of the pad. A locking ring 202 is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting post 201. A positioning hole 203 is opened on the top surface of the bracket base 1. A first spring 204 is provided below the positioning hole 203. A washer ring 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first spring 204. By placing the pad on the bracket base 1, passing the connecting post 201 through the cavity of the positioning hole 203 and the first spring 204, aligning the adapter block 2022 inside the locking ring 202 with the guide groove 2011 on the connecting post 201 and sliding it in, and then rotating the locking ring 202 to lock the adapter block 2022 into the locking groove 2012, the first spring 204 pushes the washer ring 205, and the washer ring 205 pushes the locking ring 202 down and allows the adapter block 2022 to be stably locked into the bottom of the locking groove 2012.

[0018] The auxiliary movement mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 301 fixed to the inner side of the bracket seat 1. A lifting column 302 is slidably connected through the middle of the fixed plate 301. A support wheel 305 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lifting column 302. A limit nut 304 is sleeved on the top end of the lifting column 302. A second spring 303 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting column 302. When the bracket seat 1 is placed on the ground, the support wheel 305 is placed on the ground. The elastic force of the four second springs 303 is greater than the total weight of the bracket seat 1, the shim assembly 2 and the related components of the auxiliary movement mechanism 3. This weight will pull the second springs 303 to extend, thereby keeping the bracket seat 1 away from the ground. At this time, the support wheel 305 can roll on the ground, which facilitates the movement of the bracket seat 1 after it is inserted into the bottom of the vehicle. When the jack is removed from the vehicle, the greater weight of the vehicle presses on the pad. At this time, the bracket seat 1 is pressed to the ground due to the weight, and the second springs 303 are stretched to a longer state.

[0019] The top end of the first spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the bracket seat 1. The outer side of the connecting post 201 is symmetrically provided with guide grooves 2011. The top end of the guide groove 2011 is provided with a locking groove 2012. The inner side of the locking ring 202 is symmetrically fixedly connected with an adapter block 2022. The connecting post 201 is movably connected to the bracket seat 1. The connecting post 201 passes through the positioning hole 203 and the inner cavity of the first spring 204 from top to bottom. The locking groove 2012 is connected to the guide groove 2011 and is in the shape of a barb.

[0020] The adapter block 2022 is slidably connected to the guide groove 2011, and the adapter block 2022 is engaged with the locking groove 2012. The guide groove 2011, the locking groove 2012 and the adapter block 2022 make it easier to install the locking ring 202, thereby restricting the connecting column 201 from being pulled out of the positioning hole 203, increasing the stability of the device during use, and by replacing the pads of different heights, the device can provide safe support at different heights.

[0021] The bottom surface of the locking ring 202 is fitted with the pad ring 205, and the outer side of the locking ring 202 is fixedly connected with a twist lug 2021; the twist lug 2021 facilitates finger operation.

[0022] The top end of the second spring 303 is fixedly connected to a support pad 3031, and the bottom end of the second spring 303 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing plate 301. The second spring 303 is welded to the fixing plate 301, and can be re-welded after being cut short, thereby replacing the second spring 303.

[0023] The lifting column 302 is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 304, and the bottom surface of the limiting nut 304 is rotatably connected to the lifting pad 3031. The lifting column 302 and the lifting pad 3031 are clearance-fitted. By adjusting the height of the limiting nut 304 on the lifting column 302, the initial height of the bracket seat 1 is adjusted to accommodate the second spring 303 with different elastic properties.

[0024] The washer 205 is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting column 201, the fixing plate 301 and the lifting column 302 are clearance-fitted, and the lifting column 302 can only slide axially.

[0025] Working principle: Before using this type of automotive suspension component to install the auxiliary bracket, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can function properly. Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, when installing the car suspension components, the bracket seat 1 is first placed on the ground. At this time, the support wheel 305 in the auxiliary moving mechanism 3 is in contact with the ground. Since the elastic force of the four second springs 303 is greater than the total weight of the bracket seat 1, the shim assembly 2 and the fixing plate 301, the second springs 303 extend, suspending the bracket seat 1 away from the ground, making it easier to push the bracket seat 1 into the bottom of the vehicle.

[0026] By placing the pad on the bracket seat 1, passing the connecting post 201 through the positioning hole 203 and the inner cavity of the first spring 204, aligning the adapter block 2022 on the inner side of the locking ring 202 with the guide groove 2011 on the connecting post 201 and sliding it in, and then rotating the locking ring 202 to make the adapter block 2022 snap into the locking groove 2012, at which time the first spring 204 pushes the pad ring 205, and the pad ring 205 pushes the locking ring 202 down, so that the adapter block 2022 is stably snapped into the bottom of the locking groove 2012, thus completing the installation of the shim assembly 2.

[0027] After the jack support is removed from the vehicle, the vehicle's weight presses onto the pad, the bracket seat 1 is pressed to the ground, and the second spring 303 is stretched to its longer state, at which point the installation of the vehicle suspension components can be carried out.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
