It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] The following reference Figures 1 to 5 This application describes a mounting bracket for a remote oil can according to some embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a mounting bracket for a remote oil reservoir according to some embodiments of this application includes a fixed bracket 1, an adjusting bracket 2, and an adjusting bolt 3. The fixed bracket 1 is detachably connected to the oil reservoir; the adjusting bracket 2 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 1, and both the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 are provided with connecting arms that connect to the engine compartment sheet metal. The adjusting bracket 2 adjusts the angle of the connecting arms to adapt to different positions and shapes of the engine compartment sheet metal structure; the adjusting bolt 3 passes through the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2, and is used to fix the position of the adjusting bracket 2 on the fixed bracket 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, based on the specific structure and shape of the vehicle's engine compartment sheet metal, the adjusting bracket 2 is operated to slide on the fixed bracket 1, thereby driving the connecting arm to adjust its angle. During the adjustment process, the matching between the connecting arm and the engine compartment sheet metal is observed until the connecting arm can fit well with the engine compartment sheet metal and meet the installation requirements. Then, the adjusting bolt 3 is used to pass through the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2, and the adjusting bolt 3 is tightened to fix the adjusting bracket 2 on the fixed bracket 1 to prevent its displacement. Then, the connecting arm on the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 is connected and fixed to the engine compartment sheet metal, and the other side of the fixed bracket 1 is connected and fixed to the oil can, completing the installation of the remote oil can. Through the function of adjusting the angle of the connecting arm driven by the adjusting bracket 2, the mounting bracket can adapt to engine compartment sheet metal structures of different positions and shapes, improving the versatility of the mounting bracket and reducing the cost and time of developing multiple mounting brackets due to different vehicle models.

[0026] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 includes: a supporting base plate 11; two fixed arms 12, which are disposed at both ends of one side of the supporting base plate 11; two first threaded holes 13, which are disposed on each fixed arm 12; and a first arc-shaped groove 15, which is disposed on the supporting base plate 11.

[0027] In this embodiment, the support base plate 11 is the load-bearing part of the fixed bracket 1, providing a stable support plane for the fixed bracket 1. The first threaded holes 13 on the two fixed arms 12 are aligned with the mounting holes on the oil can. Bolts are passed through the mounting holes on the oil can and screwed into the first threaded holes 13 on the fixed arms 12 and tightened to fix the oil can on the fixed bracket 1. The adjusting bracket 2 is located on the support base plate 11, so that the sliding structure on the adjusting bracket 2 cooperates with the first arc groove 15 on the support base plate 11. The adjusting bracket 2 slides along the first arc groove 15, so that the connecting arm can be accurately connected to the engine room sheet metal. The first arc groove 15 is arc-shaped, and its radius is the range of motion of the adjusting bracket 2.

[0028] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the adjusting bracket 2 includes: a connecting base plate 21 that contacts the supporting base plate 11, and the connecting base plate 21 is semi-circular; and a second arc-shaped groove 24 that is disposed on the connecting base plate 21 and cooperates with the first arc-shaped groove 15.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the connecting base plate 21 contacts the top surface of the supporting base plate 11, and the connecting base plate 21 is semi-circular, which facilitates its cooperation with the supporting base plate 11 and provides suitable space and guidance for sliding adjustment. The second arc groove 24 cooperates with the first arc groove 15 to form a sliding track. Through the cooperation of the two arc grooves, the adjusting bracket 2 can slide within a certain range on the supporting base plate 11. The sliding adjustment method is simple and easy to implement, and the operator can quickly and accurately adjust the angle of the adjusting bracket 2 according to the actual situation, which improves the installation efficiency.

[0030] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the connecting arm includes: a first connecting arm 14, which is disposed on the side of the supporting base plate 11 away from the fixed arm 12; and a second connecting arm 22, which is disposed on the long side of the connecting base plate 21. The first connecting arm 14 and the second connecting arm 22 are arranged side by side and are detachably connected to the cabin sheet metal structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first connecting arm 14 is disposed on the side of the supporting base plate 11 away from the fixed arm 12, so that the first connecting arm 14, the supporting base plate 11 and the fixed arm 12 form a stable integral structure. The second connecting arm 22 is disposed on the long side of the connecting base plate 21 and moves with the sliding of the adjusting bracket 2. The second connecting arm 22 and the first connecting arm 14 are arranged side by side and are connected to the cabin sheet metal structure together. The position of the second connecting arm 22 relative to the first connecting arm 14 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the cabin sheet metal structure.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the connecting arm also includes two second threaded holes 23, which are respectively disposed on the first connecting arm 14 and the second connecting arm 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, the second threaded hole 23 serves as a connection interface with the engine compartment sheet metal structure. By passing bolts through the connecting holes of the sheet metal and the second threaded hole 23 on the connecting arm, and tightening the bolts, a firm connection between the mounting bracket and the engine compartment sheet metal structure is achieved, providing a stable connection force and ensuring that the mounting bracket and the engine compartment sheet metal structure will not loosen due to vibration or impact during vehicle operation. This improves the safety and stability of the oil can installation. When it is necessary to disassemble the mounting bracket, simply loosen the bolts, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0034] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 are designed as separate units.

[0035] In this embodiment, the split design allows the adjustment bracket 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to the specific location and shape of the engine compartment sheet metal. In the actual installation process, the engine compartment structure of different models may differ. By sliding the adjustment bracket 2, the connecting arm can be accurately connected to the engine compartment sheet metal, which improves the versatility and adaptability of the mounting bracket.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 are each an integral structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 are an integral structure, which means that each component is formed in one go by casting or welding processes to form an inseparable whole. The integral structure has strong structural strength, can better withstand vibration and impact, and reduce failures caused by loose parts.

[0038] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting bolt 3 includes an elastic pad 31, which contacts the connecting base plate 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, various vibrations and impacts are generated during vehicle operation. These forces are transmitted to the adjusting bolt 3 through the mounting bracket. Since the elastic pad 31 is in contact with the connecting base plate 21, when subjected to external force, the elastic pad 31 will undergo elastic deformation, absorbing and dispersing some of the vibration energy, preventing the adjusting bolt 3 from loosening, improving the connection stability between the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the remote oil can installation.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first arc groove 15 coincides with the second arc groove 24, and the second arc groove 24 can rotate relative to the first arc groove 15; the adjusting bolt 3 passes through the first arc groove 15 and the second arc groove 24.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the adjusting bracket 2 is installed on the fixed bracket 1, the first arc-shaped groove 15 and the second arc-shaped groove 24 overlap each other to form a channel for adjustment and bolt passage. The adjusting bolt 3 consists of a screw and a nut. The diameter of the screw matches the width of the first arc-shaped groove 15 and the second arc-shaped groove 24 to ensure that it can pass smoothly through the two arc-shaped grooves. The nut is used to tighten after adjustment to fix the position of the adjusting bracket 2. The presence of the adjusting bolt 3 prevents the adjusting bracket 2 from falling off the fixed bracket 1 during rotation, thus improving the safety of installation.

[0042] During the installation of the remote oil can mounting bracket, the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 are initially assembled. The connecting base plate 21 of the adjusting bracket 2 contacts the supporting base plate 11 of the fixed bracket 1, so that the second arc-shaped groove 24 on the adjusting bracket 2 coincides with the first arc-shaped groove 15 on the fixed bracket 1. At the same time, the adjusting bolt 3 passes through the first arc-shaped groove 15 and the second arc-shaped groove 24, but the nut is loose at this time, and the adjusting bracket 2 can slide freely. According to the specific structure and properties of the vehicle's engine compartment sheet metal, the operator applies external force to the adjusting bracket 2, causing it to slide on the fixed bracket 1. The sliding of the adjusting bracket 2 causes the second arc-shaped groove 24 to rotate relative to the first arc-shaped groove 15, thereby causing the connecting arm to adjust its angle. During the adjustment process, the operator observes the matching between the connecting arm and the engine compartment sheet metal. Under these conditions, until the connecting arm can fit well with the sheet metal and meet the installation requirements, after adjusting to the appropriate position, tighten the nut of the adjusting bolt 3. The threaded engagement between the nut and the bolt generates clamping force, fixing the connecting base plate 21 of the adjusting bracket 2 onto the supporting base plate 11 of the fixed bracket 1. This connects and fixes the connecting arm on the fixed bracket 1 and the adjusting bracket 2 to the engine compartment sheet metal. Specifically, the connection is achieved by passing the bolt through the connecting hole of the sheet metal and the second threaded hole 23 on the connecting arm and tightening the bolt. At the same time, align the first threaded hole 13 on the fixed arm 12 of the fixed bracket 1 with the mounting hole on the oil can. Use a bolt to pass through the mounting hole on the oil can and screw it into the first threaded hole 13 on the fixed arm 12 to fix the oil can onto the fixed bracket 1, completing the installation of the remote oil can.
