Mount for an electrical or electronic component in an engine compartment of a motor vehicle

摘要

An electrical or electronic component (3) of a motor vehicle is mounted in an engine compartment of the motor vehicle by suspending the component (3) from a suspension cross-brace (1) and connecting the component (3) on a motor vehicle splashboard that separates the engine compartment from a passenger compartment. Such a mount permits a relatively heavy and relatively large electrical or electronic component to be accommodated in the engine compartment and securely mounted there.

主权项

1. A mount for a power electronics component of a hybrid or electric motor vehicle in an engine compartment of the motor vehicle, the power electronics component having opposite side walls that face away from one another and defining a width of the power electronics component, the power electronics component further having a rear surface, the motor vehicle having a motor vehicle splashboard that separates the engine compartment from a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, the mount comprising:
a suspension cross brace mounted in the engine compartment forward of the splashboard and having a specified length in a lateral direction of the vehicle; first and second spaced apart suspension cross-brace bearings extending from the suspension cross-brace at positions laterally of the power electronics component and coupled to the opposite side walls of the power electronics component to suspend the power electronics component from a symmetrical position along the length of the suspension cross-brace; and at least one splashboard bearing for mounting the rear surface of the power electronics component to a forward facing surface of the motor vehicle splashboard and at a position rearward of the suspension cross brace and the suspension cross brace bearings.
