[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of brackets, in particular to a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0003] At present, in order to increase the storage space of the vehicle, the roof of the vehicle is provided with a mounting bracket, and the user connects the roof luggage rack to the mounting bracket according to the need, so as to place the excess luggage on the roof luggage rack. In the related art, the mounting bracket is welded to the side outer plate of the roof, and a decorative cover is arranged above the mounting bracket, which covers the mounting bracket when the roof luggage rack is not installed. However, the use of the decorative cover to cover the mounting bracket reduces the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling. SUMMARY

[0004] Embodiments of the present application provide a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly and a vehicle, which hide the first bracket in the installation space, so as to improve the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling.

[0005] The first aspect of the present application provides a first bracket, which comprises a clamping portion and two edge portions. The clamping portion is located between the two edge portions and connected to the two edge portions respectively, and at least part of the clamping portion forms a groove with the two edge portions.

[0006] The first bracket provided by the embodiments of the present application is used inside the installation space formed by the roof and the first surface of the side outer plate of the vehicle when in use, and the two edge portions are connected to the side outer plate respectively to fix the first bracket on the side outer plate. Therefore, the first bracket is hidden and installed in the installation space, without the need to set the decorative cover in the prior art, reducing the width of the gap between the second surface of the roof and the side outer plate, and improving the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling. In addition, the gap between the roof and the side outer plate in the width direction of the vehicle is reduced, and the lap width of the roof and the side outer plate is reduced, which helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling. Furthermore, when the roof is a sunroof glass, the transparent area of the roof can be increased.

[0007] In addition, the recess forms a first gap with the first surface of the side outer plate, and the clamping portion forms a second gap in communication with the first gap with the second surface of the side outer plate, so that the clamping portion is spaced apart from the side outer plate. When the second support is connected to the first support, the second support sequentially passes through the gap formed between the second surface of the side outer plate and the roof, the second gap and the first gap in a rotatable manner, the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove of the second support, and the second support is hooked to the first support and abuts against the first surface of the side outer plate. Therefore, when the second support is installed or removed, the roof does not need to be disassembled or damaged, and the aesthetic appearance of the roof is ensured.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the clamping portion includes a first flange, a main body and a second flange connected in sequence in the width direction of the first support, the main body is connected to the two edge portions at opposite ends in the length direction of the first support, and the main body and the two edge portions form the recess.

[0009] In this way, the presence of the first flange and the second flange can improve the rigidity of the first support. In addition, when the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove, the first flange and the second flange are located inside the clamping groove and abut against the inner wall of the clamping groove, at this time, the first flange prevents the second support from moving inward, the second flange prevents the second support from moving outward, and the second support is limited in the width direction of the vehicle. In addition, the first flange can also guide the second support, so that the second support extends into the inside of the first gap, reducing the difficulty of clamping the clamping portion into the clamping groove.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the first flange is located on the same side of the recess as the main body, at least part of the orthogonal projection of the first flange on a first reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the recess on the first reference plane, and the first reference plane is a plane in which the length direction and the thickness direction of the first support are located.

[0011] In this way, the flanging direction of the first flange is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second support, reducing the difficulty of guiding the second support by the first flange.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the connection between the first flange and the main body has a first arc surface, which guides the second support to slide to the first flange.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the first flange and the second flange are respectively connected to opposite sides of the main body in the thickness direction of the first support. In this way, the flanging direction of the second flange is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second support, improving the guiding effect of the second flange on the second support, so that the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the connection between the second flange and the main body has a second arc surface, which guides the second support to slide to the second flange.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the body and the two edge portions form a positioning gap, and a projection of the first flange on a second reference plane is located inside a projection of the positioning gap on the second reference plane, the second reference plane being a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the first support are located.

[0016] In this way, during the hooking of the second support to the first support, the second support is inserted into the positioning gap after passing through the gap, the second support is aligned with the first gap in the width direction of the vehicle, and the second support is easily inserted into the inside of the first gap, reducing the difficulty of the clamping portion being clamped into the clamping groove.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the first support further comprises a reinforcing portion, the reinforcing portion and the clamping portion are arranged in the width direction of the first support, the reinforcing portion is located between the two edge portions and connected to the two edge portions respectively, the reinforcing portion, the clamping portion and the two edge portions form a through hole, and the second flange is located between the reinforcing portion and the first flange and close to the through hole.

[0018] In this way, the strength of the first support is improved, and the stability of the connection between the first support and the second support is improved. In addition, the second support extends into the through hole, and the through hole can limit the second support in the length direction of the first support.

[0019] The second aspect of the present application provides a second support, which comprises a connecting portion, an intermediate portion, an abutting portion and a bending portion connected in sequence. The intermediate portion, the abutting portion and the bending portion jointly form a clamping groove, and the connecting portion is located outside the clamping groove.

[0020] When the second support according to the embodiment of the present application is connected to the first support, one end of the second support slides into a gap formed between the roof and the second surface of the side outer plate of the vehicle, and then passes through the second gap and the first gap in sequence until the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove and the abutting portion abuts against the first surface. It can be seen that the second support is hooked to the first support in a rotating manner, without the need to disassemble or damage the roof of the vehicle, and the aesthetic appearance of the roof can be ensured.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the abutting portion has an abutting plane, which is used to abut against the first surface of the side outer plate, thereby increasing the abutting area of the second support and the first surface, increasing the installation reliability of the second support, and reducing the looseness of the second support in the thickness direction of the first support.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the connecting portion, the abutting portion and the bending portion are all arranged on the same side of the intermediate portion, and the bending portion is located between the abutting portion and the connecting portion and is arranged in a spaced manner.

[0023] In this way, the normal projection of the connecting portion on the third reference plane is located inside the normal projection of the roof on the third reference plane, the third reference plane is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the vehicle are located, and the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle when the second support is connected is improved.

[0026] In a possible implementation manner, the clamping portion comprises a first flange, a main body and a second flange connected in sequence. When the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove, the first flange and the second flange respectively abut against the inner walls of the clamping groove.

[0027] In this way, the existence of the first flange and the second flange can improve the rigidity of the first support. In addition, when the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove, the first flange and the second flange are located inside the clamping groove and respectively abut against the inner walls of the clamping groove. At this time, the first flange prevents the second support from moving towards the inside of the vehicle, and the second flange prevents the second support from moving towards the outside of the vehicle, thereby limiting the second support in the width direction of the vehicle. In addition, the first flange can also guide the second support to extend into the first gap, thereby reducing the difficulty of clamping the clamping portion into the clamping groove.

[0028] In a possible implementation manner, when the clamping portion is clamped into the clamping groove, at least one of the first flange and the second flange is in surface contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove.

[0029] In this way, the contact area of the first flange and / or the second flange with the inner wall of the clamping groove can be increased, and the reliability of the abutment of the clamping portion against the inner wall of the clamping groove can be improved.

[0030] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, which comprises a side outer plate, a roof and the first support according to any one of the first aspect.

[0051] BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a roof of a vehicle in the related art, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a sectional view along the direction of A-A in FIG. 1. In the conventional technology, referring to FIG. 1, the vehicle includes a mounting bracket 710, a side outer plate 720, a sunroof glass 730, and a decorative strip 740 including a fixed section 741 and a movable section 742. Referring to FIG. 2, the sunroof glass 730 overlaps the side outer plate 720 and forms a gap accommodating the decorative strip 740 and the mounting bracket 710, and the mounting bracket 710 is connected to the side outer plate 720 and located directly below the movable section 742. When a luggage rack needs to be installed, the movable section 742 is disassembled, so that the mounting bracket 710 is exposed and connected with the luggage rack. However, the decorative strip 740 has a wide width, which reduces the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling. In addition, the width of the sunroof glass 730 is reduced, which reduces the transparent area of the sunroof glass 730. Furthermore, the presence of the decorative strip 740 increases the weight of the vehicle body.

[0053] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a first bracket, a second bracket, a bracket assembly, and a vehicle. The first bracket is installed in a mounting space formed by the sunroof glass and the side outer plate of the vehicle, and hides the first bracket. The decorative strip in the prior art can be removed, the width of the gap between the sunroof glass and the side outer plate can be reduced, the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling can be improved, and the weight of the vehicle body can be reduced. In addition, the width of the overlap between the sunroof glass and the side outer plate can be reduced, and the transparent area of the sunroof glass can be increased. Furthermore, when the second bracket is connected to the first bracket, the roof structure does not need to be disassembled or damaged, and the aesthetic appearance of the roof styling is ensured.

[0054] The vehicle can be an electric vehicle (EV), or can also be a pure electric vehicle (PEV / BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a range extended electric vehicle (REEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), a new energy vehicle (NEV), etc.

[0055] The vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 3, the vehicle can include a side wall outer plate 300, a roof 400, at least two support groups, and a luggage rack 700. The vehicle includes two support groups, which are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the length direction (e.g., the X direction in FIG. 3) of the vehicle. Of course, the vehicle can include more than two support groups, for example, the vehicle can include three support groups arranged spaced apart along the length direction (e.g., the X direction in FIG. 3) of the vehicle.

[0058] Each support group includes two support assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged in the width direction (e.g., the Y direction in FIG. 3) of the vehicle. The first end of each support assembly is connected to the side wall outer plate 300, and the second end of each support assembly is connected to the luggage rack 700. Since each support assembly is connected to the luggage rack 700, the relative positions of any two support assemblies in the length direction or the width direction of the vehicle remain unchanged, so that the position of the luggage rack 700 remains unchanged, achieving the purpose of fixing the luggage rack 700.

[0059] FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the section A-A in FIG. 3.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4, the side wall outer plate 300 includes a first surface 310 and a second surface 320 connected to each other. The roof 400 overlaps the first surface 310 of the side wall outer plate 300, and the roof 400 and the first surface 310 form a mounting space 500. The roof 400 and the second surface 320 form a gap 600 that communicates with the mounting space 500.

[0061] It should be noted that the first surface 310 in FIG. 4 is a plane, at this time, the first surface 310 is only schematic and does not limit the specific structure of the first surface 310. Similarly, the second surface 320 in FIG. 4 is a plane, at this time, the second surface 320 is only schematic and does not limit the specific structure of the second surface 320.

[0062] In some embodiments, the width of the gap 600 in the width direction (e.g., the Y direction in FIG. 4) of the vehicle is greater than or equal to 6 mm, for example, the width of the gap 600 can be 7 mm. Since the width of the gap 600 can be as small as 6 mm, the width of the gap 600 is reduced, which can improve the aesthetic appearance of the roof.

[0063] In order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the roof of the vehicle, in some embodiments, the roof 400 can be a sky glass, which has an overlapping region and a transparent region. The overlapping region is opposite to the first surface 310, and the transparent region is offset from the first surface 310 in the thickness direction of the vehicle. The user can see the outside of the vehicle through the transparent region.

[0064] Continuing to refer to FIG. 4, the bracket assembly includes a first bracket 100 and a second bracket 200. The first bracket 100 is located inside the installation space 500 and connected to the side outer panel 300, for example, the first bracket 100 is located inside the installation space 500 and welded to the first surface 310 of the side outer panel 300. One end of the second bracket 200 is connected to the luggage rack 700, and the other end of the second bracket 200 passes through the gap 600 and extends into the inside of the installation space 500. The second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100 and abuts against the first surface 310 in the height direction (Z direction in FIG. 4) of the vehicle, and is limited in the width direction (Y direction in FIG. 4) and the height direction of the vehicle, thereby fixing the second bracket 200.

[0065] The first bracket 100 is hiddenly installed in the installation space 500, and there is no need to provide the decorative strip in the prior art, so that the width of the gap 600 can be reduced, and the appearance of the roof styling can be improved. In addition, the lap width of the roof 400 and the side outer panel 300 is reduced, which helps to improve the appearance of the roof styling. In addition, when the roof 400 is a sunroof glass, the lap width of the side outer panel 300 and the sunroof glass can be reduced, and the transparent area of the sunroof glass can be increased.

[0066] In order to further reduce the width of the first surface 310 in the width direction of the vehicle, in some embodiments, the first bracket 100 can be arranged above the end portions of the roof front cross beam, the roof middle cross beam and the roof rear cross beam of the vehicle body framework.

[0067] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the first bracket in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is a top view of the first bracket in FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is a front view of the first bracket in FIG. 5, FIG. 8 is a right view of the first bracket in FIG. 5, and FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the second bracket in FIG. 4.

[0068] The first bracket 100 includes a clamping portion 110 (as shown in FIG. 5), and the second bracket 200 has a clamping groove 210 (as shown in FIG. 9). Referring to FIG. 4, the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping groove 210, and the opposite ends of the clamping portion 110 in the width direction of the first bracket 100 respectively abut against the inner walls of the clamping groove 210, so that the second bracket 200 is hooked to the first bracket 100 and limited in the width direction (Y direction in FIG. 4) of the vehicle, thereby preventing the second bracket 200 from moving towards the inside or outside of the vehicle.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 4, in the height direction of the vehicle (for example, the Z direction in FIG. 4), a portion of the second support 200 is clamped by the clamping portion 110 and the side outer plate 300, and the second support 200 cannot move up and down in the height direction of the vehicle. Referring to FIG. 4, in the width direction of the vehicle (for example, the Y direction in FIG. 4), the opposite ends of the clamping portion 110 respectively abut against the second support 200, and the second support 200 cannot move left and right in the width direction of the vehicle. Referring to FIG. 3, in the length direction of the vehicle (for example, the X direction in FIG. 3), the second support 200 is fixedly connected with the luggage rack 700, so that the second support 200 cannot move forward and backward in the length direction of the vehicle. Therefore, the first support 100, the side outer plate 300, and the luggage rack 700 can jointly constrain the second support 200, so that the position of the second support 200 in the length direction, the width direction, and the height direction of the vehicle remains unchanged, that is, the second support 200 is firmly locked.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 4, the clamping portion 110 is spaced apart from the side outer plate 300, that is, the clamping portion 110 is spaced apart from the first surface 310 and the clamping portion 110 is spaced apart from the second surface 320, at this time, the clamping portion 110 and the first surface 310 form a first gap, and the clamping portion 110 and the second surface 320 form a second gap, and the first gap and the second gap are communicated.

[0071] In the process of connecting the second support 200 with the first support 100, the second support 200 is rotated (for example, the second support 200 is counterclockwise rotated in FIG. 4), so that one end of the second support 200 sequentially passes through the gap 600, the second gap, and the first gap, and the one end of the second support 200 is located inside the mounting space 500, the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping groove 210, and the second support 200 abuts against the first surface 310, so that the second support 200 is hooked on the first support 100.

[0072] When the second support 200 needs to be disassembled, the second support 200 is rotated in the opposite direction (for example, the second support 200 is clockwise rotated in FIG. 4), so that the second support 200 sequentially exits the first gap, the second gap, and the gap 600, the clamping portion 110 exits the clamping groove 210 and is separated from the first surface 310, so as to disassemble the second support 200.

[0073] Therefore, in the process of mounting or disassembling the second support 200, the roof of the vehicle does not need to be disassembled or damaged, the integrity of the roof styling can be ensured, and the aesthetic appearance of the roof can be ensured.

[0074] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, the first bracket 100 further comprises two edge portions 130, the clamping portion 110 is located between the two edge portions 130 and connected to the two edge portions 130 respectively, at least part of the clamping portion 110 forms a groove 170 with the two edge portions 130, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a part of the clamping portion 110 forms a notch groove 170 towards the first surface 310 (as shown in FIG. 7) with the two edge portions 130. The groove 170 forms a first gap with the first surface 310 for the second bracket 200 to pass through. The two edge portions 130 are connected to the side outer plate 300 respectively, for example, the two edge portions 130 are connected to the first surface 310 respectively, fixing the first bracket 100 to the side outer plate 300. Of course, in some embodiments, the edge portion 130 can also be connected to the second surface 320.

[0075] Wherein, the edge portion 130 can be connected to the side outer plate 300 by spot welding, riveting, laser welding, resistance welding, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0076] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, the first bracket 100 can further comprise a reinforcing portion 120, the reinforcing portion 120 and the clamping portion 110 are arranged at intervals along the width direction (as shown in FIG. 6, Y direction) of the first bracket 100, the reinforcing portion 120 is located between the two edge portions 130 and connected to the two edge portions 130 respectively, the reinforcing portion 120, the clamping portion 110 and the two edge portions 130 form a through hole 140. In this way, the strength of the first bracket 100 is improved, and the stability of the connection between the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200 is improved. In addition, when the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping groove 210, one end of the second bracket 200 extends into the through hole 140, and the inner wall of the through hole 140 can limit the second bracket 200 in the length direction of the first bracket 100.

[0077] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 5, the clamping portion 110 can comprise a first flange 111, a main body 113 and a second flange 112 connected in sequence along the width direction of the first bracket 100. Wherein, the opposite ends of the main body 113 in the length direction (as shown in FIG. 6, X direction) of the first bracket 100 are connected to the two edge portions 130 respectively, and the main body 113 forms a groove 170 (as shown in FIG. 7) with the two edge portions 130. The first flange 111 is located between the second surface 320 and the second flange 112. The second flange 112 is close to the through hole 140 and located between the reinforcing portion 120 and the first flange 111.

[0078] In this way, the presence of the first and second flanges 111 and 112 can improve the rigidity of the first bracket 100. In addition, when the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping groove 210, the first and second flanges 111 and 112 are located inside the clamping groove 210 and abut the inner walls of the clamping groove 210, at this time, the first flange 111 prevents the second bracket 200 from moving towards the vehicle interior, the second flange 112 prevents the second bracket 200 from moving towards the vehicle exterior, and the second bracket 200 is limited in the width direction of the vehicle. In addition, the first flange 111 can also guide the second bracket 200, so that the second bracket 200 extends into the interior of the first gap, reducing the difficulty of clamping the clamping portion 110 into the clamping groove 210.

[0079] The size of the first flange 111 is not limited here. Exemplarily, the width of the first flange 111 can be 1mm.

[0080] The size of the second flange 112 is not limited here. Exemplarily, the width of the second flange 112 can be 1mm.

[0081] Continuing to refer to FIG. 7, the first flange 111 is located on the same side of the main body 113 as the groove 170, and at least part of the orthographic projection of the first flange 111 on a first reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the groove 170 on the first reference plane, the first reference plane being a plane in which the length direction and the thickness direction of the first bracket 100 are located. Referring to FIG. 4, the first flange 111 is arranged on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310, that is, the first flange 111 is located between the main body 113 and the first surface 310. In this way, the direction of the flange of the first flange 111 is arranged in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the second bracket 200, reducing the difficulty of guiding the second bracket 200 by the first flange 111.

[0082] It should be noted that, in addition to being arranged on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310, the first flange 111 can also be arranged on the other side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310.

[0083] In some possible implementation manners, referring to FIG. 5, the connection between the first flange 111 and the main body 113 can have a first arc surface 150, which guides the second bracket 200 so that the second bracket 200 slides to the first flange 111.

[0084] Continuing to refer to FIG. 8, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the main body 113 in the thickness direction (e.g., the Z direction in FIG. 8) of the first bracket 100, and at this time, the second flange 112 is arranged on the side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310 (as shown in FIG. 4). In this way, the flange direction of the second flange 112 is arranged in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second bracket 200, thereby improving the guiding effect of the second flange 112 on the second bracket 200.

[0085] It should be noted that, in addition to being arranged on the side of the main body 113 away from the first surface 310, the second flange 112 can also be arranged on the side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310, that is, the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 can be arranged on the same side of the main body 113 facing the first surface 310.

[0086] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in FIG. 5, the connection between the second flange 112 and the main body 113 can have a second arc-shaped surface 160, which guides the second bracket 200 to slide to the second flange 112.

[0087] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in FIG. 6, the main body 113 and the two edge portions 130 can form a positioning gap 180, and the orthogonal projection of the first flange 111 on a second reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the positioning gap 180 on the second reference plane, and the second reference plane is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the first bracket 100 are located.

[0088] In this way, in the process of hooking the second bracket 200 to the first bracket 100, after the second bracket 200 passes through the gap 600, the second bracket 200 is inserted into the positioning gap 180, the second bracket 200 is aligned with the first gap in the width direction of the vehicle, and the second bracket 200 is easily inserted into the inside of the first gap, thereby reducing the difficulty of clamping the clamping portion 110 into the clamping groove 210.

[0089] In some possible implementation manners, when the clamping portion 110 is clamped into the clamping groove 210, at least one of the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 210, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, both the first flange 111 and the second flange 112 are in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 210, and of course, the inner wall of the clamping groove 210 can also be in contact with the first flange 111 or the second flange 112.

[0090] In this way, the contact area of the first flange 111 and / or the second flange 112 with the inner wall of the clamping groove 210 can be increased, and the reliability of the abutment of the clamping portion 110 with the inner wall of the clamping groove 210 can be improved.
