## Abstract

A modular mounting structure includes a mount module unit including a mount housing, a mount core with a bolt hole, and a mount insulator connecting the mount housing and the mount core, a first module unit including a first housing, a first core with a bolt hole, and a first insulator connecting the first housing and the first core and having a first direction characteristic, and a second module unit including a second housing, a second core with a bolt hole, and a second insulator connecting the second housing and the second core and having a second direction characteristic.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A modular mounting structure comprising:
a mount module unit including a mount housing, a mount core with a bolt hole, and a mount insulator connecting the mount housing and the mount core;
a first module unit including a first housing, a first core with a bolt hole, and a first insulator connecting the first housing and the first core; and
a second module unit including a second housing, a second core with a bolt hole, and a second insulator connecting the second housing and the second core,
wherein the mount module unit, the first module unit, and the second module unit are combined by a protrusions and depressions structure that connects the mount core, the first core, and the second core respectively.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The modular mounting structure of claim 1, wherein the first insulator comprises a first bridge formed in a first direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The modular mounting structure of claim 2, wherein the second insulator comprises a second bridge formed in a second direction different from the first direction.

### Claim 4

A modular mounting structure comprising:
a mount module unit including a mount housing, a mount core with a bolt hole, and a mount insulator connecting the mount housing and the mount core;
a first module unit including a first housing, a first core in which a bolt hole is formed, and a first insulator having a first bridge formed in a predetermined first direction and connecting the first housing and the first core;
a second module unit including a second housing, a second core in which a bolt hole is formed, and a second insulator having a second bridge formed in a predetermined second direction and connecting the second housing and the second core; and
a third module unit including a third housing, a third core in which a bolt hole is formed, and a third insulator having a third bridge formed in a predetermined third direction and connecting the third housing and the third core.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The modular mounting structure of claim 4, wherein the mount module unit, the first module unit, the second module unit, and the third module unit are combined by protrusions and depressions structures that connect the mount core, the first core, the second core, and the third core, respectively.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

A assembling method for the modular mounting structure of claim 4, the assembling method comprising:
combining the first module unit including the first bridge formed in the predetermined first direction with the mount module unit;
combining the second module unit including the second bridge formed in the predetermined second direction with the first module unit; and
combining the third module unit including the third bridge formed in the predetermined third direction with the second module unit.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The assembling method of claim 6, wherein the mount module unit, the first module unit, the second module unit and the third module unit are combined by protrusions and depressions structures that connect the mount core, the first core, the second core, and the third core, respectively.
