Problems solved by technology

The upper beam of the water tank mainly bears the impact from the instantaneous impact load when the hood assembly is closed and the up and down fluctuation of the hood when the car is running, which directly causes stress concentration at the lock body mounting part of the connection device between the upper beam of the water tank and the hood assembly.

Abstract

The invention discloses an automobile water tank upper beam made of carbon fiber composite materials and a manufacturing method of the automobile water tank upper beam, and belongs to the field of composite materials and automobile parts. The water tank upper beam structurally at least comprises a beam body, a beam wing, a first wing, a second wing, side edges and a beam head; in a vacuum state, carbon fiber fabric is infiltrated by resin and is formed through pressure. The water tank upper beam is made of the composite materials which use multilayer multi-layer-direction carbon fiber fabric materials as reinforcement and use epoxy resin as a substrate, so that the integral rigidity of the water tank upper beam is improved; through CAE computational analysis, the Z-directional rigidity of the water tank upper beam can reach 424N/mm, the conditions of high strength, high modulus and load can be satisfied, and meanwhile the water tank upper beam can be lightened by more than 60%; due to the fact the carbon fiber materials are used, the weight of the water tank upper beam can be substantially reduced, and fuel efficiency can be greatly enhanced; because the structure of the water tank upper beam made of the carbon fiber materials is greatly simplified, one-off processing forming is facilitated, and manufacturing cost is effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of composite materials and auto parts, in particular to an upper beam of a carbon fiber composite material automobile water tank and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the higher and higher requirements on the shape and performance of the car, affected by the shape, the seams of the front part of the car are of different heights, coupled with the limitation of the space of the engine compartment itself, and the types of parts layout are increasing. Parts mounting points are more or less arranged on the water tank beam, and the connecting device lock body installation part of the hood assembly makes the load of the water tank beam heavier and heavier. As an important structural part of the car body, the water tank beam takes into account the lightweight requirements of the body structure, as well as the requirements for high structural strength and collision safety performance. How to ...
