Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting brackets for vehicle body domain controllers face challenges such as limited space, structural weakness, increased size and weight, complex structure, high cost, and insufficient bandwidth, leading to reduced modality and fatigue strength, especially in new energy vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A mounting bracket with a base plate featuring supporting surfaces, clamping holes, and auxiliary clamping structures that allow direct clamping connection of the vehicle body domain controller, reducing the number of components and enhancing fastness, while utilizing reinforcing ribs and pre-hanging structures for improved rigidity and ease of assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional mounting support is used, then the structure is simple, but the support sinks into the soft pad during braking causing discomfort and potential damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting support is divided into an upper support portion and a lower support portion separated by a ball joint. This segmentation allows independent movement of each portion, enabling the upper support to remain stable while the lower support adapts to soft pad deformation, resolving the contradiction between stability and softness accommodation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ball joint changes the relative position and orientation parameters between the upper and lower support portions dynamically. During braking, when the soft pad deforms, the ball joint allows angular adjustment to maintain optimal contact geometry, preventing sinking while accommodating pad compression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting support is fixed rigidly, then the structure is stable, but it cannot adapt to soft pad deformation during braking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to soft pad deformationVSAvoidmounting support stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the support into two portions connected by a ball joint, the system achieves both adaptability (lower portion moves with pad deformation) and stability (upper portion remains relatively fixed), resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ball joint introduces dynamic adaptability to the mounting support, allowing it to adjust its configuration in response to soft pad deformation during braking while maintaining overall structural stability through the constrained movement of the joint.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If the mounting support sinks into the soft pad, then contact is maintained, but discomfort occurs and the support may be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport durabilityVSAvoidriding comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The ball joint acts as a cushioning mechanism that anticipates and accommodates soft pad deformation before the mounting support can sink into the pad. This prevents direct impact and excessive compression, protecting the support from damage and maintaining riding comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The ball joint changes the spatial parameters of the support configuration to maintain optimal contact without excessive penetration into the soft pad, preventing both damage and discomfort by adjusting the contact geometry dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
