Vehicle front structure

By setting brackets and fixing equipment modules between the suspension towers and the lateral components, a stable force transmission path is formed, which solves the problem of insufficient body rigidity caused by suspension tower movement and improves the vehicle's torsional and collision resistance.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively suppress the movement of suspension towers in the vehicle width direction, resulting in insufficient body rigidity. This makes the vehicle prone to deformation and intrusion of collision objects, especially during vehicle movement and side collisions.

Method used

A bracket is installed between the suspension tower and the lateral components, and equipment modules, such as refrigeration cycle equipment, are fixed on the bracket. The load generated by the suspension tower is transferred to the vehicle body structure through the bracket and the equipment module, forming a stable force transmission path.

Benefits of technology

It effectively suppresses the movement of suspension towers in the vehicle width direction, improves body rigidity, and reduces torsion during vehicle operation and the amount of intrusion of impact objects during side collisions.

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle front structure. The vehicle front structure is provided with: a suspension tower rod for connecting the upper parts of a pair of left and right suspension towers at the front part of a vehicle; a cross member that is disposed in front of the suspension tower and below the vehicle, and that connects the left and right vehicle body structures; a pair of brackets which are erected between the suspension tower and the cross member and are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction; and an equipment module. The device module is configured so as to include a plurality of devices of a refrigeration cycle used in the temperature regulation of the vehicle interior air and the battery for travel. The device module is disposed between the pair of brackets and is fixed to the pair of brackets, respectively.
