Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically to a support frame. Background Technology

[0002] Heavy-duty trucks, as the main equipment for road transportation, are widely used due to their advantages of large loading capacity and fast transportation, and are applied in diverse scenarios and environments. Heavy-duty trucks use high-pressure gas as a power source for vehicle braking. Air is compressed by an air pump, and the pressurized air travels through pipes and valves to the brake chamber. The brake chamber push rod extends, pushing the brake adjustment arm to apply the brakes. In many countries, such as Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, and Mongolia, tractor units are paired with two or even three trailers. The increased number of axles leads to a surge in air consumption. The air supply for these truck-trailers is provided by the tractor unit. To meet the large volume of demand, larger displacement air compressors, even dual or triple air compressors, must be used. This necessitates matching with larger load-bearing air drying devices, such as using dual-tower APUs and two dryers, placing significant pressure on the overall vehicle layout. The spatial arrangement of dryers and condensers varies between different car models. In some models, the dryer is located in front of the condenser, while in others it is located in the rear. When designing and manufacturing mounting brackets for dryers and condensers, only the interference between the mounting brackets and other parts in the corresponding individual car model is considered, resulting in poor universality of mounting brackets in different car models. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bracket that can improve the applicability of the bracket.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A bracket for mounting a dryer and a condenser, comprising: The first mounting plate is provided with dryer mounting holes; The second mounting plate is spaced apart from the first mounting plate along the first direction and is provided with condenser mounting holes; A frame connecting plate is connected between the end of the first mounting plate near the frame along the second direction and the end of the second mounting plate near the frame along the second direction; There is an angle between the first direction and the second direction.

[0005] Optionally, in the above-mentioned bracket, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are vertically arranged.

[0006] Optionally, the above-mentioned support also includes: A reinforcing connecting plate is provided at a distance from the frame connecting plate along the second direction, and the reinforcing connecting plate is connected between the end of the first mounting plate opposite to the frame along the second direction and the end of the second mounting plate opposite to the frame along the second direction; In particular, along the vertical direction, at least one end of the reinforcing connecting plate is recessed to form a groove.

[0007] Optionally, the above-mentioned support also includes: A base plate is disposed at the bottom of the bracket, and the base plate is connected between the bottom end of the first mounting plate and the bottom end of the second mounting plate.

[0008] Optionally, in the above-mentioned bracket, the base plate is provided with at least one weight-reducing hole.

[0009] Optionally, the above-mentioned support includes: Two first reinforcing members are respectively disposed at the connection between the frame connecting plate and the first mounting plate and at the connection between the frame connecting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0010] Optionally, in the above-mentioned bracket, the frame connecting plate is provided with a first frame connecting hole; The first reinforcing member is provided with a second frame connection hole that corresponds one-to-one with the first frame connection hole; the frame connection plate is connected to the frame through a connector that passes through the first frame connection hole and the second frame connection hole in sequence.

[0011] Optionally, in the above-mentioned bracket, the first mounting plate and / or the second mounting plate are provided with a valve body mounting structure.

[0025] This utility model discloses a bracket that can improve the applicability of the bracket.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1-8As shown in the illustration, this application provides a bracket for mounting a dryer 41 and a condenser 42. The bracket includes a first mounting plate 1, a second mounting plate 2, and a frame connecting plate 3. The first mounting plate 1 has a dryer mounting hole 11. Based on the size of the dryer 41 and its fixing requirements, the dryer mounting hole 11 adopts a standardized hole diameter and position design to ensure a rigid connection between the dryer 41 and the first mounting plate 1. The second mounting plate 2 is spaced apart from the first mounting plate 1 along a first direction (the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 can be parallel or non-parallel), providing independent mounting space for the dryer 41 and the condenser 42. Both the dryer 41 and the condenser 42 require heat dissipation or airflow during operation. The spaced arrangement avoids thermal interference or airflow blockage caused by their close proximity, while also reserving operating space for later maintenance (such as disassembly and repair). The second mounting plate 2 has a condenser mounting hole 21. Based on the size of the condenser 42 and its fixing requirements, the condenser mounting hole 21 adopts a standardized hole diameter and position design to ensure a rigid connection between the condenser 42 and the second mounting plate 2. The standardized mounting holes (dryer mounting hole 11 / condenser mounting hole 21) support quick replacement of different models of dryers 41 / condensers 42, reducing later maintenance costs. The frame connecting plate 3 connects the end of the first mounting plate 1 along the second direction near the frame 5 and the end of the second mounting plate 2 along the second direction near the frame 5. The frame connecting plate 3 acts as a hub connecting the bracket to the frame 5, with both ends rigidly connected to the ends of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 along the second direction near the frame 5, respectively. This allows the overall load of the bracket to be directly transferred to the frame 5 through the frame connecting plate 3, reducing intermediate force transmission links, shortening the lever arm distance between the bracket and the frame 5, reducing the torque generated by the weight of the equipment on the first and second mounting plates 1 and 2, reducing the risk of bracket deformation, and improving structural stability. It should be noted that the rigid connection mentioned in this text includes, but is not limited to, welding or bolted connections. Furthermore, the material types and thicknesses of the first mounting plate 1, the second mounting plate 2, and the frame connecting plate 3 can be specifically designed by those skilled in the art according to specific circumstances. The first direction and the second direction are at an angle. The size of this angle can be designed specifically by those skilled in the art based on the specific circumstances. Setting this angle can improve the applicability of the bracket, especially for the space-constrained frame 5, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the frame 5. It should be noted that a detailed illustration of the first direction can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 .

[0028] As can be seen, the bracket provided in this application embodiment has a first mounting plate 1 for mounting the dryer 41 and a second mounting plate 2 for mounting the condenser 42. The independent functional division of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 allows the dryer 41 and the condenser 42 to be pre-installed and tested separately before being integrated into the bracket, reducing overall assembly time and facilitating installation. The bracket can be assembled separately and then installed as a whole on the vehicle frame 5. At the same time, the vehicle frame connecting plate 3 rigidly connects the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 into a whole, forming a stable support frame structure, which can improve the torsional and bending resistance of the bracket. Under vehicle driving or equipment vibration conditions, it can effectively suppress the resonance of the dryer 41 and the condenser 42, avoiding pipeline leakage or component damage caused by loosening. In addition, the bracket is highly integrated and can simultaneously install the condenser 42 and the dryer 41, which can alleviate the arrangement pressure in the vehicle space. Furthermore, since the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 do not have a specific front and rear definition, those skilled in the art can install the condenser 42 and the dryer 41 according to actual needs. Their relative positions are relatively flexible, which facilitates the arrangement of brake lines. Therefore, this bracket can be used in vehicles with different brake lines, has strong versatility, and can reduce the cost of the bracket for installing the condenser 42 and the bracket for the dryer 41.

[0029] In practice, the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are vertically arranged. The dryer 41 is rigidly connected to the vertically arranged first mounting plate 1, and the condenser 42 is rigidly connected to the vertically arranged second mounting plate 2. The first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 mainly bear the vertical gravity load and the vibration bending moment during equipment operation. The vertical arrangement of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 can enhance the vertical resistance to deformation and avoid bending deformation due to long-term use. In addition, the dryer 41 and the condenser 42 are installed vertically side by side along the first direction (horizontal direction), avoiding the stacking occupation that occurs during horizontal installation. They can be embedded in narrow horizontal spaces without interfering with the horizontal layout of other components. Furthermore, the inlet and outlet pipes of the dryer 41 and the condenser 42 can be arranged vertically, reducing bending points (such as changing from a horizontal 90° bend to a vertical straight line), reducing fluid resistance, and facilitating pipe fixing and maintenance. Furthermore, when the condenser 42 is installed vertically, the heat sink is aligned with the natural air convection direction (upward), allowing the heat to diffuse rapidly and preventing the accumulation of heat when installed horizontally, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0030] In specific implementation, the bracket also includes a reinforcing connecting plate 6, which is spaced apart from the frame connecting plate 3 along the second direction. The reinforcing connecting plate 6 connects the end of the first mounting plate 1 facing away from the frame 5 along the second direction and the end of the second mounting plate 2 facing away from the frame 5 along the second direction. The first mounting plate 1, the second mounting plate 2, the frame connecting plate 3, and the reinforcing connecting plate 6 form a rectangular frame structure. Upgrading the single-point support of the mounting plate to a full-area constraint effectively suppresses the lateral sway and torsional deformation of the mounting plate, thereby improving the structural strength of the bracket. Specifically, along the vertical direction, at least one end of the reinforcing connecting plate 6 is recessed to form a groove 61. This can be understood as... Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcing connecting plate 6 has a recessed top along the vertical direction to form a groove 61, but no groove 61 at the bottom; alternatively, the reinforcing connecting plate 6 has a recessed bottom along the vertical direction to form a groove 61, but no groove 61 at the top; or alternatively, the reinforcing connecting plate 6 has a recessed top and a recessed bottom along the vertical direction to form a groove 61. The shape of the groove 61 includes, but is not limited to, a rectangle, an arc, or a trapezoid. Furthermore, the groove 61 reduces the material usage of the reinforcing connecting plate 6, achieving weight reduction without compromising the strength of critical components.

[0031] In practical implementation, the bracket also includes a base plate 7, which is located at the bottom of the bracket and connects between the bottom ends of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. The base plate 7 is horizontally positioned at the very bottom of the bracket, with its two ends connected to the bottom ends of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 respectively, creating a closed structure at the bottom of the bracket. It should be noted that the base plate 7 not only connects the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 but also the frame connecting plate 3 and the reinforcing connecting plate 6. These five components together form a rectangular frame with one open end, which improves the structural strength of the bracket.

[0032] In practice, the base plate 7 is provided with at least one weight-reducing hole 71. One, two, or more weight-reducing holes 71 can be provided. The placement of the weight-reducing holes 71, while ensuring the structural strength of the frame 5, can effectively reduce the weight of the support structure.

[0033] In specific implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bracket also includes two first reinforcing members 8, which are respectively disposed at the connection between the frame connecting plate 3 and the first mounting plate 1, and at the connection between the frame connecting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 2. It should be noted that the first reinforcing members 8 are located on the inner side of the bracket; or, as... Figure 1As shown, the first reinforcing member 8 is located on the outer side of the bracket. The first reinforcing member 8 can solve the problem of stress concentration at the connection, improving the durability and stability of the bracket. The connection between the first reinforcing member 8 and the mounting plate and the frame connecting plate 3 includes, but is not limited to, welding. Furthermore, the first reinforcing member 8 can be understood as an L-shaped component, comprising a first part and a second part bent relative to the first part. The first part connects to the first mounting plate 1 and / or the second mounting plate 2, and the second part connects to the frame connecting plate 3.

[0034] In specific implementation, the two first reinforcing members 8 can be set as an integral structural member, that is, the two L-shaped members are combined into a U-shaped member. In this case, the two second parts of the two first reinforcing members 8 are connected as a whole.

[0035] In specific implementation, the frame connecting plate 3 is provided with a first frame connecting hole 31; the first reinforcing member 8 is provided with a second frame connecting hole 81 corresponding to the first frame connecting hole 31; the frame connecting plate 3 is connected to the frame 5 by connectors that pass through the first frame connecting hole 31 and the second frame connecting hole 81 in sequence. The connectors include, but are not limited to, bolts. Furthermore, the first frame connecting hole 31 and the second frame connecting hole 81 form a double-hole connection, which increases the contact area between the connector and the bracket, distributing the tension of the connector to the first reinforcing member 8 and the frame connecting plate 3, resulting in more reasonable stress distribution.

[0036] In practice, valve body mounting structures are provided on the first mounting plate 1 and / or the second mounting plate 2. The installation of these valve body mounting structures does not disrupt the overall layout of the bracket; instead, it improves space utilization efficiency and enhances the integration level of the bracket. The valve body mounting structure is integrated with the mounting plate, eliminating the need for an additional independent valve body bracket and saving surrounding space. However, it is not limited to this; the valve body mounting structure can also be bolted to the mounting plate.

[0037] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the valve body mounting structure includes a connecting bracket 91, which has valve body mounting holes for connecting the valve body 43 to the first mounting plate 1 and / or the second mounting plate 2. The valve body 43 includes, but is not limited to, a four-way valve and a pressure-limiting valve, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the four-way valve and the pressure relief valve are mounted on the first mounting plate 1. The connecting bracket 91 includes a first connecting bracket 911 and a second connecting bracket 912. The four-way valve is mounted on the first mounting plate 1 via the first connecting bracket 911, and the pressure relief valve is mounted on the first mounting plate 1 via the second connecting bracket 912. The connecting bracket 91 is fastened to the valve body 43 by bolts, but it is not limited to this. The connecting bracket 91 can also be connected to the valve body 43 by welding.

[0038] In specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bracket also includes a pipeline bracket 92 for convenient pipeline bundling. The pipeline bracket 92 includes a connecting part 921 and a pipeline mounting part 922. The connecting part 921 connects to the first mounting plate 1 and / or the second mounting plate 2. The pipeline bracket 92 is disposed on the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2; or, the pipeline bracket 92 is disposed on the first mounting plate 1; or, as... Figure 1 As shown, the pipeline bracket 92 is mounted on the second mounting plate 2. The pipeline bracket 92 is fastened to the bracket with bolts, but is not limited to this; it can also be welded to the bracket. The pipeline mounting portion 922 is bent relative to the connecting portion 921, and is located directly below the bracket, ensuring that the pipeline does not occupy the equipment mounting space on the front / side of the mounting plate and does not affect the function of the reinforcing members and mounting holes. Furthermore, the pipeline's location directly below the bracket makes it easy to observe, allowing for pipeline replacement without disassembling the dryer 41 / condenser 42, etc. The pipeline bracket 92 allows for pre-planning of pipeline routes, facilitating pipeline connections between components such as the valve body 43.

[0039] In specific implementation, at least one dryer 41 is installed on the first mounting plate 1; that is, the number of dryers 41 can be one, two, or more, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two dryers 41.

[0040] In specific implementation, at least one condenser 42 is installed on the second mounting plate 2; that is, the number of condensers 42 can be one, two, or more, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two condensers 42.

[0041] In specific implementation, the first mounting plate 1 and / or the second mounting plate 2 are also provided with auxiliary holes, which are used for tools to be inserted when installing components such as the dryer 41 or the condenser 42. For example, when installing the bolts of the dryer 41, the auxiliary holes on the second mounting plate 2 are used for the insertion of the impact electric gun sleeve.
