The bolt 132 may extend through the first extension section 121, the spacing member 140, and the second extension section 122 in the width direction of the bracket body. The nut 131 may be used to couple the bolt 132 and the bracket body 120 so that the bolt 132 and the bracket body 120 are coupled together without being separated. The sequence of the bolt 132 passing through the first extension 121, the spacing member 140 and the second extension 122 is not particularly limited in the present application, and the position of the spacing member 140 is taken as the standard.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, the spacing member 140 may be configured in a substantially cylindrical structure. The spacing member 140 may be formed with a through hole for the bolt 132 to pass through, and in one embodiment, the through hole is a counter bore 142, and an axial direction of the counter bore 142 may be parallel to an axial direction of the bolt 132. The bolt 132 may extend through the counterbore 142. The counter-sunk holes 142 can guide the bolts 132, thereby improving the convenience of assembly. The spacing member 140 may include a first side surface 143, the first side surface 143 being formed at one end of the spacing member 140 in the axial direction. The first side surface 143 of the spacing member 140 may be fixedly connected with the first inner surface of the first extension segment 121, and preferably, the first side surface 143 of the spacing member 140 may be connected with the first inner surface of the first extension segment 121 by welding, so as to improve the connection strength of the spacing member 140 with the bracket main body 120.

The first extension section 121 includes a first connection hole 124, the second extension section 122 includes a second connection hole 125, and axial directions of the first connection hole 124 and the second connection hole 125 may be both parallel to an axial direction of the counter-sunk hole 142. The first connection hole 124, the second connection hole 125, and the counterbore 142 may be coaxially disposed such that the bolt 132 can extend through the first connection hole 124, the second connection hole 125, and the counterbore 142. The first extension 121 further comprises a first outer surface 129 facing away from the second extension 122, and the nut 131 may be fixedly connected to the first outer surface 129. Thereby preventing the nut from falling off. Preferably, the nut 131 may be coupled with the first outer surface 129 of the first extension segment 121 by welding to improve the coupling strength of the spacing member 140 with the bracket body.

As shown in connection with fig. 4, the bolt 132 includes a head portion and a tail portion, and the tail portion of the bolt 132 may extend through the first connection hole 124, the counter bore 142, and the second connection hole 125. The bolt 132 may further include a flange surface, the flange surface of the bolt 132 may be fixedly connected with the head of the bolt 132, the flange surface may be larger than the diameter of the second connection hole 125, and the second extension 122 may block the movement of the flange surface to position the moving distance of the bolt 132.

Further, the third extension 123 of the bracket body 120 may be used for connection with a powertrain. The third extension 123 is connected to both the first extension 121 and the second extension 122. The third extension 123 is connected to one end of the first extension 121 and one end of the second extension 122, respectively, in the width direction of the stent body. Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the other end of the first extension segment 121 is bent away from the second extension segment 122 to form a first flange 126, and the other end of the second extension segment 122 is bent away from the first extension segment 121 to form a second flange 161. Therefore, the arrangement of the first flange 126 and the second flange 161 can increase the contact area of the suspension bracket with other components, and increase the connection stability.

The third extending section 123 is provided with a first mounting hole 128, and the first mounting hole 128 is used for connecting the third extending section 123 and the power assembly. The first mounting hole 128 is connected to the powertrain in a manner similar to that of the prior art, for example, the first mounting hole 128 may be connected to the powertrain by a connecting member such as a bolt.

In order to enable the suspension bracket 110 to be adapted to different models of vehicles, the suspension bracket 110 further comprises a spacer (not shown) arranged between the third extension 123 and the powertrain. Therefore, the position of the power assembly can be adjusted up and down conveniently, and the mounting difficulty between the suspension bracket 110 and the power assembly can be reduced.

Therefore, the third extension section 123 can select the cushion blocks with different sizes to be connected with the power assembly according to the different sizes of the power assemblies with different models, so that the universality of the suspension bracket 110 is improved. When the distance between suspension support 110 and the power assembly is great, the cushion block is arranged between third extension 123 and the power assembly, thereby ensuring that the bolt can connect the support main body with the power assembly. Preferably, the third extension 123 on the side away from the spacer may be further provided with a desoldering nut to facilitate the threaded connection with the bolt.

Both ends of the third extending section 123 are respectively connected with one end of the first extending section 121 and one end of the second extending section 122, so that a recess 127 is formed on the third extending section 123, the recess 127 reserves an installation space for the tie rod bracket 150, and interference between the third extending section 123 and the tie rod bracket 150 is avoided. Further, the first extension segment 121 or the second extension segment 122 is not provided with a bent portion, so the bracket main body 120 has sufficient structural strength.

Alternatively, the bracket main body 120 may be made of a sheet metal. The thickness of the stent body 120 may be 3mm to 6 mm. The bracket body 120 may be made of a sheet metal bent with a thickness of 4 mm. Thus, the structural strength of the stent main body can be improved. The third extension 123 may also be provided with lightening holes 160 to lighten the weight of the bracket body. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, since the first extension and the second extension may not be provided with the bent portion, the first extension and/or the second extension may be provided with a lightening hole, thereby lightening the weight of the bracket main body. Alternatively, the first, second and third extensions may each be provided with lightening holes.

As shown in fig. 2, the stay bracket 150 may include a small end 151, and the small end 151 is used to connect with the suspension bracket 110. The small end 151 is located between the first extension 121 and the second extension 122 and connected with the bolt 132. The small end 151 is provided with a tie rod coupling hole, the axial direction of which may be parallel to the axial direction of the bolt 132 to ensure that the bolt 132 can extend through the tie rod coupling hole.

In order to prevent shaking between the stay bracket 150 and the bracket body, the side surface 152 of the small end 151 may be closely attached to the spacing member 140. The side surface 152 of the small end 151 may be parallel to the radial direction of the drawbar coupling hole. The side surface 152 of the small end 151 can be closely attached to the side surface of the spacing member 140, thereby preventing shaking between the stay holder 150 and the holder main body. Preferably, the flatness of the side surface of the spacing member 140 may be 0.1mm, which is greatly improved relative to the flatness of the existing sheet metal part itself, and the assembly precision can be well improved.

The suspension bracket 110 may be connected to a powertrain, for example, the suspension bracket 110 may be connected to an engine or a transmission, and the tie rod bracket 150 may be connected to a subframe to prevent torsion, and can bear a large load, and can be adapted to vehicles of different models.
