[0010] The above existing documents are all previous designs of the inventor, continuing the following three evolutionary routes:

[0011] 1) The degree of aluminum alloying gradually increases, and the lightweighting effect continues to improve: aluminum alloying of the vehicle body (References 1, 2, 3), aluminum alloying of the vehicle body + frame (4), aluminum alloying of the vehicle body + frame + hard point (5, 6). This evolutionary path reflects the law of aluminum alloy lightweighting progress from easy to difficult, from part to all; in other words, the earlier the literature, the less aluminum alloying rate and lightweighting effect.

[0012] 2) Continuously improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy structures: explore better and more reasonable internal module structures, hard point structures, and assembly structures between modules, and strive to improve the overall mechanical properties of the body structure. In other words, the above patents are still insufficient in mechanical properties and assembly performance. For example, the hard point solutions of Documents 5 and 6 use combined crossbeam hard points, which leads to a more complex structure, difficult assembly, and limited load-bearing capacity; the lateral stiffness and torsional stiffness of the frames of Documents 4, 5, and 6 are insufficient.

[0013] 3) Continuously simplify the manufacturing process and assembly process of modules: The aluminum alloy side panels and steel structure frames of References 1, 2, and 3 are connected by a plug-in sleeve, which is simple to assemble, but the assembly interface is a point-line interface, and the assembly stiffness of the side panels is limited. The aluminum alloy side panels and aluminum alloy frames of References 4, 5, and 6 are connected by a mortise and tenon structure, which realizes the planarization of the assembly interface and greatly improves the module assembly stiffness. However, the numerous mortise and tenon connections require the tenon and the mortise hole to be accurately aligned, which requires high preparation precision, and the fixing operation after alignment is relatively cumbersome. Summary of the invention

[0022] The top cover module is composed of a frame surrounded by a top cover straight side beam and a top cover curved side beam. A number of top cover small longitudinal beams and top cover curved cross beams are arranged in parallel in the middle of the top cover module. The two ends of the top cover small longitudinal beam and the top cover curved side beam are a top-mounted mortise and tenon structure, the two ends of the top cover curved cross beam and the top cover straight side beam are a top-mounted mortise and tenon structure, and the intersection of the top cover curved cross beam and the top cover small longitudinal beam is a through-tenon structure; at the right angle where the top cover straight side beam and the top cover curved side beam are connected, two ends of an L-shaped connector are arranged to be inserted into the inner cavity of the above two for plugging and fixing.

[0023] The profile cross-section of the combined longitudinal beam is a vertical multi-cavity aluminum profile, which, from top to bottom, are respectively the first cavity, the second cavity, the third cavity, the fourth cavity, the fifth cavity and the sixth cavity; the middle of the profile cross-section of the leaf spring front support is a hollow cavity, a through hole for the leaf spring pin A is reserved in the middle of the hollow cavity, and a U-shaped clamping plate structure is formed at the upper and lower parts of the cavity to clamp the combined longitudinal beam, and the distance between the clamps matches the width of the combined longitudinal beam cross-section; an installation groove is processed on the part of the combined longitudinal beam profile where the leaf spring front support is installed, and in the installation groove, the upper and lower U-shaped clamping plate structures of the hollow cavity of the leaf spring front support respectively form U-shaped surface contacts with the third cavity and the fifth cavity of the longitudinal beam, and are fixed by glue and bolts.

[0026] Advantages of the present invention:

[0027] The present invention has significant innovations in the three development paths of aluminum alloy lightweight structures;

[0028] 1) The combined longitudinal beam mortise and tenon cavity beam aluminum alloy frame can be adapted to the assembly of front and rear axles of different widths by simply adjusting the relative distance between the front and rear longitudinal beams;

[0029] 2) The aluminum alloy hardpoint structure is profiled and integrated with the beam structure, which brings the following advantages: the integration of the hardpoint and the beam improves the hardpoint bearing capacity and simplifies the hardpoint assembly process and leaf spring assembly process; the profiled hardpoint design greatly simplifies the hardpoint processing process and improves the material performance of the hardpoint;

[0030] 3) The integrated design of the combined longitudinal beam and the battery compartment takes advantage of the mechanical advantages of the beam and the large cavity, effectively improving the overall torsional stiffness of the frame. At the same time, the battery compartment is both the main load-bearing structure of the frame and the storage space for the battery, which improves the space utilization of the frame and provides an additional layer of external "armor" for the battery pack, improving the safety of the battery pack.

[0031] 4) Strengthen the connection rigidity between the frame and the side panel, and simplify the assembly process. First, the upper and lower connecting edges define the surface area assembly interface, and further increase the connection between the battery compartment end and the pedal boundary; second, the module assembly process is greatly simplified by bolting the connecting edges.

[0032] In short, based on previous practices, we have continuously explored and innovated to realize a new generation of all-aluminum alloy, full-load-bearing, integrated lightweight structural platform for minibuses, solving the core problem of all-aluminum alloy lightweight minibus structures and achieving comprehensive advantages such as good mechanical properties, light weight, strong adaptability, easy manufacturing and low cost.
