It is mainly used to bear the rear load of the automobile, buffer the force transmitted from the road surface to the frame, reduce vibration, and ensure the smooth driving of the vehicle. In the prior art, most of the installation points of the rear torsion beam are distributed on both sides of the crossbeam, and the space is relatively ample. The wheel brake, wheel hub bearing, shock absorber and the connection with the crossbeam are mostly stamped parts welded to achieve the function. There are many loose parts and many welds. The risk of torsion beam failure due to weld failure is high, which increases the safety risk of the product. Too many welds will also affect the camber angle and toe angle of the product. The number of stamping dies, welding tools and inspection tools will also increase significantly, resulting in expensive products and loss of market competitiveness. In the case of compact structure, stamped welded parts cannot achieve and install the functions of the product. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems.
