Vehicle Bracket Structure for Vibration Damping and Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle brackets cause shaking and potential structural fracture of devices like driving recorders due to vehicle vibrations, leading to blurred images and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle bracket with a base, connecting piece, and fixing piece that disperses shaking and impact forces through a cantilever beam structure, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly, and includes a guide groove for adjusting the angle of the device to stabilize it during vehicle vibrations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a rigid bracket structure is used to firmly fix the vehicle device, then the device is securely mounted, but the device shakes excessively during vehicle vibration causing blurred images and potential structural fracture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a flexible connection mechanism through the connecting piece with rod portion that can elastically deform and absorb vibration energy. The rod portion acts as a flexible element that allows controlled movement while maintaining structural integrity, reducing transmission of vibrations from the vehicle body to the mounted device.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket structure incorporates vibration absorption capabilities in advance through its design. The connecting piece with rod portion and guide groove creates a cushioning effect that absorbs shock and vibration before they can damage the device, preventing structural fracture and image blurring before they occur.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed-angle bracket structure is used, then the device is stable, but it cannot adapt to different mounting angles or positions on the vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket transitions from a static fixed-angle structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The rod portion sliding within the guide groove enables the connecting piece to move and adjust the mounting angle dynamically, allowing the device to be positioned at different angles while maintaining stability through the vibration-absorbing mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket design incorporates multiple functions: it provides secure mounting, vibration absorption, and angle adjustment capabilities. The guide groove and rod portion combination serves both as a movement constraint and an adjustment mechanism, making the bracket versatile for different mounting requirements on various vehicle surfaces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a complex adjustment mechanism is added to the bracket, then angle adjustment capability is improved, but the device complexity and assembly difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into distinct functional segments: the base for mounting, the connecting piece for vibration absorption, the rod portion for adjustment, and the guide groove for constraint. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while simplifying the overall assembly and adjustment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The rod portion acts as an intermediary element between the connecting piece and the guide groove. It mediates the adjustment process by sliding within the guide groove to enable angle changes while maintaining a simple mechanical relationship, avoiding the need for complex mechanisms like motors or hydraulic systems.
4Ease of manufacture
If traditional rigid mounting methods are used, then assembly is simple, but the device cannot withstand vehicle vibrations without shaking or structural damage
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting piece with rod portion introduces flexibility into the mounting structure while maintaining relative simplicity. The rod portion sliding in the guide groove creates a flexible connection that can absorb vibrations without requiring complex assembly procedures, preserving ease of manufacture while dramatically improving vibration resistance.

AI summary
A vehicle bracket includes a base, a connecting piece and a fixing piece. A first surface of the base is configured to face a mounting surface. The base has a set of pivoting portions and a set of abutting portions on a second surface thereof. The set of abutting portions is configured to abut against a portion of a vehicle device. A first end of the connecting piece is rotationally and pivotally connected to the set of pivoting portions, and a second end thereof has a rod portion protruding laterally from the connecting piece. The rod portion is configured to be inserted into a guide groove of the vehicle device, so that the rod portion is limited to slide in the guide groove. The fixing piece is configured to fix the set of abutting portions and the portion of the vehicle device to each other.
