The present disclosure relates to a mounting assembly in an engine arm of a
vehicle. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the mounting assembly in a left hand (LH) engine arm of the vehicle where the mounting assembly is made capable of connecting a powertrain with a body of the vehicle. Further, the mounting assembly is provided with a heatshield to prevent a mount brush rubber from exposure to high temperature.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Typically, an engine mount is responsible for holding an engine in a vehicle,
with an objective to reduce noise, absorb vibration and control the movement of the powertrain in the vehicle along horizontal longitudinal, horizontal lateral and vertical axis of rotation, respectively. The engine mount serves as a connecting point between an engine and a chassis or body of the vehicle. It is well known that the engine primarily regulates motion of the vehicle and therefore undergoes vibrations due to the presence of rotating parts present in it. In order to protect the engine from shocks and vibrations, the engine mounts are typically made of elastomers which not only dampens the vibration, but also absorbs shock to a greater extent.
[0003] The powertrain components of the vehicle comprises of a transmission (gearbox)
and an engine. These powertrain components are firmly affixed to an engine mounting bracket in order to ensure a comfortable ride by reducing noise vibration and harshness (NVH) inside passenger cabin. The engine mounting bracket, on the other hand comprises of a left hand (LH) mount bracket and a right hand (RH) mount bracket.
[0004] Presently, in an existing design, the LH mount bracket is a single entity by itself.
In the existing arrangement, the LH mount bracket does not require any additional structure to protect the elastomer from high temperature or heat. This is due to presence of an exhaust manifold at a considerable distance from the elastomer where the exhaust manifold is typically responsible for emissions of exhaust gases from a combustion chamber of the engine.

[0005] However, according to new styling features, the exhaust manifold is situated near
to the elastomer and therefore the elastomer is subjected to high temperature due to heat emitted from the exhaust manifold as a result of radiation, conduction or convection. This necessitates incorporation of a heatshield in the LH mount bracket for protection of the elastomer. But in the existing arrangement, there are no provisions for holding the powertrain on the vehicle body along with the heatshield provided on it.
[0006] Towards this direction, the present disclosure focuses on development of a
mounting assembly in the LH engine arm in order to accommodate powertrain and the heatshield in a suitable fashion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0043] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure
depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all

modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0044] While the embodiments of the disclosure are subject to various modifications
and alternative forms, specific embodiment thereof have been shown by way of example in the figures and will be described below. It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternative falling within the scope of the disclosure.
[0045] The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof used in the
disclosure, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a device, system, assembly that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such system, or assembly, or device. In other words, one or more elements in a system or device proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or device.
[0046] The present disclosure proposes a mounting assembly complying with new
styling of the vehicle. In the newly designed mounting assembly, the LH mount bracket connects mounting points in two different planes by means of a sheet metal base plate and an aluminum bracket. Additionally, the mounting assembly is incorporated with a heatshield in order to protect an elastomer of the engine mount from damage due to heat load. These features and the structural attributes of the mounting assembly are discussed in subsequent sections.
[0047] FIG. 1 illustrates an isometric view of the mounting assembly (200) in a LH arm
of an engine in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the mounting assembly (200) is connecting a powertrain with a body of the vehicle.
[0048] In an aspect, the mounting assembly (200) comprises of a connecting bracket
(100) with the connecting bracket (100) having an engine mounting end (106) and a body
™ +:„„ —A /'i no\ XT—„:„ +u„ i A., ™ +:„„ —A t-\ no\ :„ „:+—+„J „ A: ——+ +„ „ „»»i:„ A —

housing (104) of the engine mount and the engine mounting end (106) is located opposite to the body mounting end (102) along a same line.
[0049] In an aspect, there is provided a base plate (108) welded to the connecting
bracket (100). The base plate (108) is a constituent of the engine mounting end (106).
[0050] In an aspect, there is further provided an aluminium bracket (110) in the
mounting assembly (200) in order to bridge gap between two fixing planes available on the engine block as per its design.
[0051] In an aspect, the aluminium bracket (110) is integrated to the base plate (108) by
flaring operation on the base plate (108). The process of flaring is pursued in a controlled manner.
[0052] In an aspect, the connecting bracket (100) also includes a top plate (112) formed
of sheet metal. The top plate (112) is equipped with two holes along the centre line (also shown in FIG.7), preferably lying at an offset of 5 mm to each other. This facilitates correct fitment and lock orientation of the top plate (112) during welding process.
[0053] In an aspect, it is to be mentioned here that the connecting bracket (100), the
base plate (108) and the cylinder housing (104) are formed of sheet metal. The use of sheet metal in assembly structures not only reduces cost but also increases strength and durability of the overall mounting assembly.
[0054] FIG. 2 represents the isometric view of the mounting assembly highlighting the
structures used for assembling a heatshield in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0055] In an aspect, a heatshield (500) is fastened to the connecting bracket (100) at the
body mounting end (102) by a plurality of fasteners including welded-nuts and bolts. The incorporation of the heatshield (500) is required in order to protect the elastomer present in the engine mount from damage that may occur due to heat emitted by the exhaust manifold as a result of radiation, convection or conduction that may occur due to combustion of air/fuel mixture.

[0056] In an aspect, the connecting bracket (100) is equipped with three support
brackets (302, 304, 306) at the body mounting end (102) in order to assemble the heatshield (500). These three support brackets (302, 304, 306) are also made of sheet metal and resemble three vertices of a triangle. Among the three support brackets (302, 304, 306), two brackets (302, 304) are placed along a first side edge and a second side edge of the connecting bracket (100), with the remaining one bracket (306) being situated on top surface of the connecting bracket (100) facing the body mounting end (102).
[0057] Referring to FIG. 3 (a)-(b), a perspective view of the base plate in the mounting
assembly can be witnessed in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the base plate (108) is provided with two bends (108-1, 108-2) at both the ends along length of the base plate (108) (shown in FIG. 3 (a)). These two bends (108-1, 108-2) increases stiffness and rigidity of the mounting assembly (200).
[0058] In an aspect, the base plate (108) is welded to the connecting bracket (100) and
the mounting assembly (200). The base plate (108) is fastened with the cylinder block of the engine by a plurality of fasteners through four bolt fixing holes (128-1, 128-2, 128-3 and 128-4) as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Further, in the base plate (108), there are provided four holes (118-1, 118-2, 118-3, and 118-4) for integration of the aluminium bracket (110) with the base plate (108) by flaring operation on the base plate (108). These four flared holes (118-1, 118-2, 118-3, and 118-4) are placed symmetric to the two bolt fixing holes (128-1, 128-2).
[0059] In an aspect, the base plate (108) is provided with three pockets (138-1, 138-2
and 138-3) in order to optimize shape of the base plate (108) without compromising on the strength requirement of the structure. The presence of these three pockets (138-1, 138-2, and 138-3) also reduces weight of the base plate (108) to a considerable amount.
[0060] In an aspect, the aluminium bracket (110) is provided with four extruded portions
(110-1, 110-2, 110-3 and 110-4) arranged symmetrically about the bolt fixing holes as shown in FIG. 4. The joining of the aluminium bracket (110) and the base plate (108) is performed through these four extruded portions (110-1, 110-2, 110-3, and 110-4) of the aluminium bracket (110) getting locked in the four flared holes (118-1, 118-2, 118-3 and 118-4) of the base plate (108). Consequently, after the flaring, the aluminium bracket (110) gets deformed

in a controlled manner for being integrated with the base plate (108). This results into a frustum shape in these extruded portions (110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 110-4) that further help to lock the base plate (108) and the aluminium bracket (110) together.
[0061] FIG. 5 depicts a front view of the connecting bracket (100) in accordance with
an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the connecting bracket (100) is made of sheet metal and there is provided a pocket (402) and a hole (404) in the bracket along a centre line. These features enable the connecting bracket (100) to lock its orientation with respect to the base plate (108) during the process of welding.
[0062] In an aspect, in the present disclosure, efforts have been made to optimize
geometry of the connecting bracket (100) as well. It may be observed that width of the connecting bracket (100) gradually decreases as we move along from the engine mounting end (106) towards the body mounting end (102). Additionally, two pair of symmetric concave bends are provided along length of the connecting bracket (100) in order to avoid spring back of the connecting bracket (100) that may be occur due to the elastic reallocation of the internal stresses after removal of deforming forces created to achieve the required shape as per design.
[0063] FIG. 6 represents different structural features of the heatshield assembled in the
mounting assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the heatshield (500) is symmetrical in nature resembling somewhat like funnel.
[0064] In an aspect, the heatshield (500) comprises of a top surface (502), a first side
member (504) and a second side member (506). The first side member (504) extends longitudinally from the top surface (502) in a first direction. The second side member (506), on the other hand, is extending longitudinally from the top surface (502) in a second direction.
[0065] In an aspect, the first side member (504) is open in order to permit entry of fresh
air. This reduces temperature in local area that is otherwise created due to emissions from the exhaust manifold. The second side member (506) is formed with a flap to restrict passage or exposure of heat through the second side member (506). The top surface (502) is provided

with a dimple having a flat area. The flat area enables efficient bolting of the heatshield (500) with the connecting bracket (100).
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the heatshield (500) is developed using a thin sheet
of metal, preferably having a width of 1 mm. The design of the heatshield (500) complies well with the thin sheet of metal with an Aluminium coating over it. Moreover, stiffness of the heatshield is enhanced due to presence of the dimple at the top surface (502) of the heat shield.
[0067] Therefore, in this manner, the newly designed mounting assembly can be said to
have complied with the new styling features of the vehicle, thereby providing an increased rigidity and robustness to the structure.

[0068] All in all, the invention described in the present disclosure is having the
following advantages:
a) The proposed mounting assembly (200) protects elastomer in the engine mount from high temperature
b) The proposed mounting assembly (200) ensures high durability of the elastomer present in the engine mount
