The present invention relates to a vehicle block, and more particularly, to a vehicle block provided with a bracket fixed inside the vehicle.

In general, a bracket is used to fix the block in a fixed place. That is, the block is mounted by positioning the bracket provided in the block where it is to be mounted and then fixing it using a fastener. In this case, the bracket may be formed integrally with the block, but may be provided to be detachable from the block. For example, in the case of a fuse block mounted on a battery of a vehicle, the height of the fuse block may vary depending on the size of the fuse block, so that a bracket replacement is required.

In the conventional block, the cover is coupled to the main body to form an appearance and a skeleton. The block is provided with a bracket holder so that the bracket can be attached and detached, the block is installed in the vehicle when the bracket is inserted into the bracket holder and installed inside the vehicle.

In the conventional block as described above, there are the following problems.

The block is provided with a bracket holder to which the bracket is coupled and a fastening portion for coupling the cover to the main body, respectively. Therefore, as the number of covers or brackets constituting the block increases, the number of bracket holders and fastening parts (hereinafter, referred to as fastening parts) formed in the main body increases.

The fastening part is intended to be fastened to a separate configuration. Even if the fastening between the main body and the cover is completed by the fastening part, a gap is generated due to a design error generated in the process of making each of the parts to generate vibration and noise. And, there is a problem that is broken in the process of installing a block in the vehicle relatively relatively vulnerable to external force.

In addition, as the fastening part increases, the time for assembling or disassembling the block increases, which causes a lot of time for work for maintenance. Therefore, the need to minimize the number of fastening portions formed in the main body in order to solve the above problems has been raised.

On the other hand, when a block is installed in a vehicle or the installed block is separated, the space in which the block is installed is very narrow, and there is an inconvenience of removing other parts in the vicinity to install and replace the block. We need a way to do it.
