[0008] The beam body includes an upper beam plate and a lower beam plate, which are buckled and fixedly connected with the lower beam plate. The suspension bracket is fixedly installed on the beam body, and along the second direction, part of the suspension bracket protrudes from the lower beam plate. The upper beam plate, the lower beam plate, and the suspension bracket together form a second cavity separated from the first cavity, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] As a force transmission structure connecting the suspension and the vehicle body, the subframe assembly can reduce the vibration and noise transmitted from the suspension to the vehicle body to a certain extent. However, with the rapid development of the automobile industry, the types of automobile power are becoming more and more complex, thus placing higher requirements on the reliability and performance of the subframe.

[0051] In the related art, the dynamic stiffness of the beam structure in the current subframe assembly is poor, which affects the overall dynamic stiffness of the subframe assembly, resulting in poor vibration isolation performance of the subframe assembly, and greatly reducing the NVH performance of the subframe assembly.

[0052] Based on this, the present application proposes a subframe assembly 100, in which a crossbeam body 1 is integrated with a suspension bracket 2, wherein a first cavity 21 is formed in the suspension bracket 2, and the crossbeam body 1 includes a crossbeam upper plate 11 and a crossbeam lower plate 12, and the side walls of the crossbeam upper plate 11 and the side walls of the crossbeam lower plate 12 are fastened and fixed up and down and together with the suspension bracket 2 form a second cavity separated from the first cavity 21. In this way, a multi-cavity structure of the crossbeam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2 is realized, which is beneficial to improve the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the crossbeam body 1, thereby helping to improve the overall dynamic stiffness of the subframe, and further improving the vibration isolation performance and NVH performance of the subframe.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the subframe assembly 100 according to the first embodiment of the present application includes: a crossbeam body 1, a suspension bracket 2 and two longitudinal beam assemblies 3.

[0054] Among them, along the first direction X, the beam body 1 is fixedly connected between the two longitudinal beam assemblies 3, a first cavity 21 is formed in the suspension bracket 2, the first cavity 21 has a first opening 211, and along the second direction Y, the projection of the first opening 211 is located outside the beam body 1, the beam body 1 includes a beam upper plate 11 and a beam lower plate 12, the beam upper plate 11 and the beam lower plate 12 are buckled and fixedly connected, the suspension bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the beam body 1, and along the second direction Y, part of the suspension bracket 2 protrudes from the beam lower plate 12, the beam upper plate 11, the beam lower plate 12, and the suspension bracket 2 jointly form a second cavity separated from the first cavity 21, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the cross beam body 1 extends along the first direction X as a whole, and the two longitudinal beam components 3 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the cross beam body 1. Further, the subframe assembly 100 is arranged according to Figure 3 The placement direction shown is taken as an example for explanation, wherein a suspension bracket 2 is integrated and installed on the beam body 1, a first cavity 21 is formed in the suspension bracket 2, and one end of the first cavity 21 has an open first opening 211.

[0056] Furthermore, the beam body 1 includes an upper beam plate 11 and a lower beam plate 12 which are buckled together, wherein the side wall of the upper beam plate 11 and the side wall of the lower beam plate 12 together constitute the side wall of the beam body 1 of the beam body 1. It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the direction of the first opening 211 is consistent with the direction of the side wall of the beam body 1 on one side of the beam body 1.

[0057] During the assembly process of the suspension bracket 2 and the beam body 1, part of the suspension bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the upper plate 11 of the beam, and part of the suspension bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the lower plate 12 of the beam. At the same time, along the second direction Y, it is ensured that the projection of the first opening 211 is located outside the beam body 1. For example, the first opening 211 is aligned with the side wall of the beam body 1. Further, a second cavity is formed by the upper plate 11 of the beam, the lower plate 12 of the beam, and the suspension bracket 2. It should be noted that the first cavity 21 and the second cavity are separated by the suspension bracket 2, and since the first opening 211 of the suspension bracket 2 is located outside the second cavity, the beam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2 jointly form two cavities that are not connected to each other. When the beam body 1 is subjected to external force, the two cavities formed by the suspension bracket 2 and the beam body 1 can improve the deformation resistance of the beam body 1 at the suspension bracket 2, thereby helping to improve the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the beam body 1. Furthermore, along the second direction Y, part of the suspension bracket 2 protrudes from the lower plate 12 of the cross beam, that is, after the suspension bracket 2 and the cross beam body 1 are assembled, part of the suspension bracket 2 protrudes from the outside of the cross beam body 1 along the second direction Y. In this way, the volume of the first cavity 21 is increased, and the first cavity 21 can provide a better energy absorption effect, which is beneficial to further improve the dynamic stiffness of the cross beam body 1 at the suspension bracket 2, and further help to improve the overall dynamic stiffness, vibration isolation performance and NVH performance of the subframe.

[0058] It should be noted that a plurality of reinforcing ribs can be provided on the outer surfaces of the upper beam plate 11 and the lower beam plate 12, and the extension direction of the reinforcing ribs is consistent with the extension direction of the upper beam plate 11 and the lower beam plate 12. This is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the beam body 1, thereby further improving the dynamic stiffness of the beam body 1.

[0059] The subframe assembly 100 proposed in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, wherein a crossbeam body 1 in the subframe assembly 100 is integrated with a suspension bracket 2, wherein a first cavity 21 is formed in the suspension bracket 2, and the crossbeam body 1 includes a crossbeam upper plate 11 and a crossbeam lower plate 12, and the side walls of the crossbeam upper plate 11 and the side walls of the crossbeam lower plate 12 are fastened and fixed up and down and together with the suspension bracket 2 form a second cavity separated from the first cavity 21. Such an arrangement realizes a multi-cavity structure of the crossbeam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2, which is beneficial to improving the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the crossbeam body 1, thereby facilitating improving the overall dynamic stiffness of the subframe, and further improving the vibration isolation performance and NVH performance of the subframe.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the third direction Z, the width of the suspension bracket 2 is smaller than the width of the beam body 1, wherein the third direction Z is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. In this arrangement, since the width of the suspension bracket 2 is smaller than the width of the beam body 1, the side wall of the suspension bracket 2 away from the first opening 211 is spaced apart from the side wall of the beam body 1 away from the first opening 211, which is equivalent to reducing the volume of the second cavity at the connection between the suspension bracket 2 and the beam body 1, which is beneficial to further improve the dynamic stiffness of the suspension installation point of the beam body.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the suspension bracket 2 includes: a suspension upper bracket 22 and a suspension lower bracket 23, a portion of the suspension upper bracket 22 is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the crossbeam upper plate 11, the crossbeam lower plate 12 has a mounting groove 121, the suspension lower bracket 23 is passed through the mounting groove 121 and is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 121, wherein a portion of the suspension lower bracket 23 protrudes from the crossbeam lower plate 12 along the second direction Y, and the side wall of the suspension lower bracket 23 is also buckled and fixed with the side wall of the suspension upper bracket 22 to jointly form a first cavity 21.

[0062] Specifically, the suspension bracket 2 includes an upper suspension bracket 22 and a lower suspension bracket 23 which are relatively arranged along the second direction Y, wherein the side wall of the upper suspension bracket 22 is buckled and fixed with the side wall of the lower suspension bracket 23 to jointly form a first cavity 21 open at one end. Furthermore, the upper plate 11 of the beam has a mounting hole 111, and the lower plate 12 of the beam has a mounting groove 121. When the upper suspension bracket 22 and the lower suspension bracket 23 are assembled, the upper suspension bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the upper plate 11 of the beam and the mounting hole 111 is covered, and the lower suspension bracket 23 is passed through the mounting groove 121 and fixedly connected to the mounting groove 121. At the same time, it is ensured that part of the lower suspension bracket 23 protrudes from the lower plate 12 of the beam along the second direction Y, thereby forming two cavities that are not connected to each other on the beam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2, which is beneficial to improving the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the beam body 1, and the suspension bracket 2 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which is beneficial to saving production costs.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal beam assembly 3 includes: a longitudinal beam body 31, the longitudinal beam body 31 is fixedly connected to the cross beam body 1, and a third cavity is formed in the longitudinal beam body 31, wherein the third cavity is not connected to the first cavity 21 and the second cavity. Specifically, each longitudinal beam assembly 3 includes a longitudinal beam body 31, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two longitudinal beam bodies 31 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cross beam body 1, and a third cavity is formed in the longitudinal beam body 31. With this arrangement, the two longitudinal beam bodies 31 and the cross beam body 1 form three cavity structures that are not connected to each other, which is beneficial to improving the overall stiffness and strength of the subframe assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, along the extension direction of the longitudinal beam body 31 , the longitudinal beam body 31 has a first end 311 and a second end 312 , and in a direction from the first end 311 to the second end 312 , the longitudinal beam body 31 is sequentially and spaced apart from a plurality of inducing recessed portions 313 .

[0065] Specifically, in the extension direction of the longitudinal beam body 31, the longitudinal beam body 31 has a first end 311 and a second end 312 opposite to each other. From the first end 311 to the second end 312, the longitudinal beam body 31 is sequentially and spaced apart with a plurality of induction recesses 313. With such arrangement, when a vehicle collides, assuming that the collision force propagates from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the plurality of induction recesses 313 of the longitudinal beam body 31 can collapse and absorb energy, thereby reducing the damage caused by the collision to the vehicle and personnel. It should be noted that, from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the cross section of the front half of the longitudinal beam body 31 is smaller than the cross section of the rear half of the longitudinal beam body 31, thereby ensuring that the front half of the longitudinal beam body 31 undergoes a large deformation during a collision, while the rear half of the longitudinal beam body 31 undergoes a small deformation or substantially no deformation, thereby improving the protection capability for passengers.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinal beam assembly 3 also includes: a connecting pipe 32 and a bushing 33. Along the extension direction of the longitudinal beam body 31, the longitudinal beam body 31 has a first end 311 and a second end 312. From the first end 311 to the second end 312, the longitudinal beam body 31 has a first vehicle body mounting hole 314 and a second vehicle body mounting hole 315 that are spaced apart. A portion of the connecting pipe 32 is fixedly mounted in the first vehicle body mounting hole 314. The bushing 33 is passed through the second vehicle body mounting hole 315 and is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam body 31. The connecting pipe 32 and the bushing 33 are both used for fixed connection with the vehicle body, wherein the bushing 33 is closer to the passenger compartment of the vehicle body than the connecting pipe 32.

[0067] Specifically, two vehicle body mounting points are integrated on the longitudinal beam body 31, namely a first vehicle body mounting hole 314 and a second vehicle body mounting hole 315, wherein the first vehicle body mounting hole 314 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body through a connecting pipe 32, and the second vehicle body mounting hole 315 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body through a bushing 33. It should be noted that the connecting pipe 32 is rigidly connected to the vehicle body, and since the bushing 33 is an elastic part, the bushing 33 is flexibly connected to the vehicle body. At the same time, the bushing 33 is closer to the passenger compartment of the vehicle body than the connecting pipe 32. Such an arrangement is conducive to reducing the vibration and impact on the passenger compartment through the bushing 33, thereby improving the driving experience of the passengers.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, part of the connecting tube 32 is fixedly installed in the first vehicle body mounting hole 314, and the bushing 33 is inserted into the second vehicle body mounting hole 315. With such a configuration, the connecting tube 32 and the bushing 33 can play a certain role in dividing the third cavity in the longitudinal beam body 31, thereby facilitating the improvement of the stability and rigidity of the longitudinal beam body 31, and further improving the overall rigidity and strength of the subframe assembly 100.

That is to say, the longitudinal beam body 31 includes a longitudinal beam upper plate 317 and a longitudinal beam lower plate 318 that are relatively arranged. The side wall of the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 are buckled and fixed up and down to form a third cavity together. Furthermore, the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 is fixedly connected to the cross beam upper plate 11, and the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 is fixedly connected to the cross beam lower plate 12. The connection between the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 and the cross beam upper plate 11 is an arc structure as a whole, and the connection between the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 and the cross beam lower plate 12 is an arc structure as a whole. Such a configuration is conducive to improving the conduction of the collision force between the longitudinal beam body 31 and the cross beam body 1, so that the collision force is more dispersed.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the longitudinal beam assembly 3 also includes: a support tube, the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 has two first steering gear mounting portions 3171, the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 has two second steering gear mounting portions 3181 which are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the first steering gear mounting portions 3171, and from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181 are both arranged between the first vehicle body mounting hole 314 and the first stabilizer bar connecting hole 316, the support tube is arranged in the third cavity, and the support tube is fixedly connected between the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181.

[0076] Specifically, the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 is designed as a large plane as a whole, the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 is constructed as a mounting boss, and the center of the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 has a first assembly hole. Furthermore, the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 has a second steering gear mounting portion 3181 arranged opposite to the first steering gear mounting portion 3171, and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181 has a second assembly hole arranged opposite to the first mounting hole 111. With such an arrangement, the steering gear can be fixedly connected to the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181 by means of bolts and nuts. For example, the bolt passes through the mounting portion of the steering gear and then passes through the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole in sequence, and then the bolt is tightened by the nut to achieve a fixed connection between the steering gear and the longitudinal beam body 31, thereby further realizing the integration of the installation function of the longitudinal beam body 31.

[0077] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam assembly 3 also includes a support tube, which is arranged in the third cavity and fixedly connected between the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181. It can be understood that the through hole of the support tube is opposite to the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole, so that the bolt can pass through the support tube, and the support tube can further divide the third cavity, which is beneficial to further improve the stability and rigidity of the longitudinal beam body 31, and further improve the overall rigidity and strength of the subframe assembly 100.

[0078] The vehicle according to the first aspect of the present application includes the subframe assembly 100 in the first aspect of the present application.

In this way, a multi-cavity structure of the crossbeam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2 is realized. When the crossbeam body 1 is subjected to external force, the two cavities formed by the suspension bracket 2 and the crossbeam body 1 can improve the deformation resistance of the crossbeam body 1 at the suspension bracket 2, which is beneficial to improve the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the crossbeam body 1, thereby helping to improve the overall dynamic stiffness of the subframe, and further improve the vibration isolation performance and NVH performance of the subframe.
