[0043] This embodiment provides a chassis that can be used in unmanned logistics delivery vehicles. It can be applied to logistics, express delivery, and sales in factory areas, parks, campuses, and other scenarios. It is suitable for short-distance logistics transportation in closed scenarios. The transported goods are small and light, and the service objects are the general public. Figures 1-10 As shown, the chassis includes a frame 1, a front suspension 2 and a rear suspension 3, as well as a power system, an electronic steering system, an electronic braking system and an electrical control system.

[0044] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the frame 1 includes an electrical compartment 11, a carrier frame 12 and two anti-collision protection structures 13. The electrical compartment 11 is configured to accommodate electrical components, and a first mounting seat 111 (such as Figure 3 As shown), the first mounting seat 111 is configured to install the front suspension 2, and a second mounting seat 112 (as shown) is provided on the rear side wall of the electrical compartment 11. Figure 4 As shown), the second mounting base 112 is configured to install the rear suspension 3. The carrier 12 is connected to the electrical compartment 11 and is configured to carry the carriage. The two anti-collision protection structures 13 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the carrier 12.

[0045] In this embodiment, the electrical compartment 11 can be made of steel plate with steel pipes as reinforcement on the side walls. The support frame 12 can also be made of steel pipes, which are lightweight and have a strong load-bearing capacity. A pressure sensor can be installed on the anti-collision protection structure 13 to sense the pressure signal when it touches an obstacle and send it to the controller for timely control and braking.

[0046] The electrical compartment 11 is used to accommodate electrical components and can provide environmental protection for the safe and stable operation of electrical components. The first mounting seat 111 is used to install the front suspension 2, and the second mounting seat 112 is used to install the rear suspension 3. Both the front and rear suspensions 3 can be installed to meet higher road conditions. It has diverse functions and a wide range of applications. The carrier 12 is connected to the electrical compartment 11 and is used to carry the carriage, which enhances the load-bearing capacity of the frame 1 and has good durability. Two anti-collision protection structures 13 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the carrier 12, which improve the safety and stability of operation and can meet the needs of the new generation of logistics distribution vehicles.

[0047] To enhance the connection strength of the front suspension 2, optionally, as Figure 3 As shown, three first mounting seats 111 are provided, and the three first mounting seats 111 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on the front side wall of the electrical compartment 11. In this embodiment, the first mounting seat 111 adopts two spaced apart ear plate structures, and the front suspension 2 can be hinged with the two ear plate structures through a sleeve.

[0048] To enhance the connection strength of the rear suspension 3, optionally, as Figure 4 As shown, four second mounting blocks 112 are provided, distributed along the four vertices of an isosceles trapezoid on the rear sidewall of the appliance compartment 11. In this embodiment, the second mounting blocks 112 utilize two spaced-apart lug structures, with the rear suspension 3 articulated to the two lug structures via sleeves. Because the four second mounting blocks 112 are distributed along the four vertices of the isosceles trapezoid, the structure maintains a balanced load-bearing structure and offers excellent durability.

[0049] To facilitate installation of the stabilizer bar 33 of the rear suspension 3, a suspension beam 121 is optionally provided at the rear of the carrier 12. A third mounting base 1211 is provided on the suspension beam 121. The third mounting base 1211 is configured to mount the stabilizer bar 33 of the rear suspension 3. In this embodiment, the third mounting base 1211 is configured as two spaced-apart ear-plate structures. The stabilizer bar 33 of the rear suspension 3 can be articulated with the two ear-plate structures via a sleeve.

[0050] To facilitate the arrangement of the electronic steering system, optionally, a mounting plate 122 is provided at an angle on the front of the carrier 12. The mounting plate 122 is configured to install the electronic steering system. A hole is provided on the mounting plate 122 for inserting a transmission arm of the electronic steering system. To facilitate the arrangement of the steering gear 200, optionally, the frame 1 also includes a steering gear mounting seat 113. The steering gear mounting seat 113 is provided at the bottom of the front side wall of the electrical compartment 11 and is configured to install the steering gear 200 of the front suspension 2. The steering gear mounting seat 113 is provided with an installation bevel 1131, which is arranged opposite the installation plate 122. The mounting plate 122 and the steering gear mounting seat 113 make the applicable functions of the frame 1 diverse and have a wide range of applications.

[0051] In order to facilitate the arrangement of the shock absorbers of the front suspension 2 and the rear suspension 3, the carrier frame 12 is optionally provided with a plurality of mounting lugs 123 (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the mounting lugs 123 are configured to mount shock absorbers for the front and rear suspensions 2 and 3. This allows the vehicle frame 1 to be versatile and applicable to a wide range of applications. To facilitate mounting of the vehicle shell, mounting brackets 124 are optionally provided at the front and rear ends of the carrier frame 12, respectively. The mounting brackets 124 are configured to mount the vehicle shell. To enhance the carrying capacity of the carrier frame 12, the vehicle frame 1 may optionally further include a reinforcing diagonal beam 125, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the electrical compartment 11, and the other end of which is connected to the carrier frame 12.

[0052] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the front suspension 2 includes a front axle 21 and a connecting arm 22. The end of the front axle 21 is configured to be hinged to the front wheel hub 100, and the connecting arm 22 is configured to be connected to the vehicle frame 1 and the front axle 21. The connecting arm 22 includes a first arm 221, a second arm 222, a third arm 223, and a fourth arm 224 that are connected in sequence. The first arm 221, the second arm 222, the third arm 223, and the fourth arm 224 together form an M-shaped structure.

[0053] Compared with the double swing arm structure or leaf spring structure in the prior art, the M-shaped structure has strong load-bearing capacity, simple and flexible structure, low cost, and high structural strength. At the same time, it has multiple connection points with the frame 1, which enhances the connection strength between the front axle 21 and the frame 1, ensures driving safety, reduces the risk of logistics distribution losses, and meets the requirements of the new generation of logistics distribution vehicles.

[0054] To strengthen the connection between the front axle 21 and the vehicle frame 1, the M-shaped structure optionally includes two first connecting ends and three second connecting ends. The two first connecting ends are located at the front end of the M-shaped structure, and the three second connecting ends are located at the rear end of the M-shaped structure. Both the first connecting ends and the second connecting ends are configured to connect to the vehicle frame 1. By providing two first connecting ends and three second connecting ends, a total of five connection points, the connection between the front axle 21 and the vehicle frame 1 is strengthened, driving safety is ensured, and the risk of loss in logistics and distribution is reduced.

[0055] To facilitate the arrangement of the front shock absorber 23, the front ends of the first arm 221 and the fourth arm 224 are optionally provided with a downwardly bent extension 225, with the free end of the extension 225 serving as the first connecting end.

One end of the front shock absorber 23 is hinged to the first connecting end, and the other end is connected to the vehicle frame 1. Specifically, the extension 225 is connected to the mounting lug 123 of the vehicle frame 1 via the front shock absorber 23. The shock-absorbing effect of the front shock absorber 23 can effectively buffer the impact force between the front axle 21 and the vehicle frame 1, thereby adapting to complex road conditions and reducing the risk of logistics and distribution losses.

[0056] To facilitate the connection of the second connecting end to the frame 1, optionally, a mounting sleeve 226 is connected to the second connecting end, and a first mounting seat 111 is provided on the frame 1. The first mounting seat 111 includes two ear plates. The mounting sleeve 226 is clamped between the two ear plates and is connected to the two ear plates through an axle pin.

[0057] To accommodate the compression deformation of the front shock absorber 23, the first arm 221 and the fourth arm 224 need to be rotatably connected to the front axle 21. Optionally, a guide member 211 is provided on the front axle 21. The guide member 211 is provided with an arcuate groove that cooperates with the outer peripheral wall of the front axle 21. The first arm 221 and the fourth arm 224 are rotatably connected to the front axle 21 through the guide member 211.

The reinforcement plate is located on the side of the first arm (or the fourth arm 224) facing away from the guide member 211. Two U-bolts 227 are provided, one on each side of the guide member 211.

[0059] To facilitate steering, optionally, the front suspension 2 also includes a first link 25 and a second link 26 connected by a ball joint 24. The first link 25 is configured to drive the front wheel hub 100 to rotate relative to the front axle 21 to achieve steering, and the second link 26 is configured to be connected to the output shaft of the steering gear 200 to provide driving force for the first link 25.

[0060] To enhance the structural strength of the connecting arm 22, the connecting arm 22 optionally further includes two reinforcing cross arms 229, one of which is fixedly connected to the first arm 221 and the second arm 222, and the other is fixedly connected to the third arm 223 and the fourth arm 224. Of course, in other embodiments, the first arm 221, the second arm 222, the third arm 223, and the fourth arm 224 may be sequentially connected via a single reinforcing cross arm 229.

The structure is symmetrical, the force is evenly distributed, the load-bearing capacity is strong, the structure is simple and flexible, the cost is low, and the structural strength is high. At the same time, it has multiple connection points with the frame 1, which enhances the connection strength between the rear axle 31 and the frame 1, ensures driving safety, reduces the risk of logistics and distribution losses, and meets the requirements of the new generation of logistics and distribution vehicles.

[0062] To ensure optimal force distribution in the multi-link assembly 32, the length of the second link 322 is optionally 1.5 times the length of the first link 321, and the length of the fourth link 324 is optionally 1.5 times the length of the third link 323. To further ensure optimal force distribution in the multi-link assembly 32, the axial angle between the first link 321 and the third link 323 and the rear axle 31 is optionally 110°, and the axial angle between the second link 322 and the fourth link 324 and the rear axle 31 is 55°.
