Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of off-road vehicle frames, and in particular to an off-road vehicle frame and a vehicle with a dual-channel force transmission structure. Background Art

[0002] Off-road vehicles usually adopt a non-load-bearing structure. The body, engine, transmission, front and rear axles, suspension and other assemblies and components are fixed on the frame. The frame is a bridge-like structure that spans the chassis of the off-road vehicle and is the foundation and skeleton of the entire off-road vehicle. The function of the frame is to fix the various assemblies to keep them in the correct relative position, while meeting the requirements of the overall layout of the vehicle, the vehicle's load-bearing capacity, and the arrangement of man and machine.

[0003] Off-road vehicles are usually used in harsh road conditions, and need to travel on grade roads, rural dirt roads, and roadless areas (such as undulating, muddy, snowy, sandy, jungle roads, etc.), which requires very high structural strength of the frame. The structural design of the frame must meet the requirements of practicality and reliability, and also be easy to manufacture and have good economy.

[0004] The frame is an important part of off-road vehicles. The choice of frame structure is related to the performance of off-road vehicles in all aspects. The frame of off-road vehicles usually adopts a side beam frame structure. The future development trend of the frame is: simple structure, lightweight, low material cost, strength and rigidity that can meet the use requirements. The existing passenger car frame assembly meets the above trends in terms of structure and materials, but it is very difficult to ensure that the strength and rigidity can meet the design requirements on the basis of feasible layout.

[0005] Especially for off-road vehicles with non-load-bearing bodies, it is not easy to ensure a simple structure due to the high trafficability and layout requirements of the whole vehicle. It also has to meet the harsh working conditions when driving on unpaved roads, and has higher requirements for strength and rigidity. Under this premise, relying on the whole vehicle project, based on existing materials and process technologies, a frame assembly suitable for off-road vehicles with non-load-bearing bodies is designed to meet the use requirements of this type of vehicle.

[0006] In the related art, the side collision force transmission direction of the off-road vehicle frame is single, the stress generated by the side collision force is relatively concentrated, and the load-bearing capacity of the side collision resistance is weak, which is easy to damage the vehicle and threaten the safety of the passengers in the vehicle. The torsional force is only supported by a single crossbeam.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an off-road vehicle frame with a dual-channel force transmission structure, comprising:

[0037] The frame longitudinal beam comprises a left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and a right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 which are spaced apart and symmetrically arranged, the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 is connected with a lower swing arm left rear mounting bracket assembly 5, and the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 is connected with a lower swing arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6.

When the off-road vehicle frame is hit from the side, when the side impact force acts on the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1, the impact force is divided into two release paths, wherein the first release path transfers the impact force from the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2 to the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3, completing the transmission and release of the side impact force.

The rigidity and force of the frame are improved, and the threat to the life safety of the occupants and the risk of vehicle damage when the vehicle is subjected to side impact force are reduced.

[0041] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an off-road vehicle frame with a dual-channel force transmission structure, wherein the lower arm left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the off-road vehicle frame is located at the bottom of the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and extends obliquely downward in the direction of the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3. The lower arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 is located at the bottom of the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 and extends obliquely downward in the direction of the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1. The two ends of the front suspension rear cross beam 4 are detachably fixedly connected to the lower arm left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 and the lower arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 through fasteners 8.

[0042] The left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower swing arm is located at the bottom of the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and extends obliquely downward in the direction of the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3. A triangular structure is formed between the left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower swing arm and the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2, which is convenient for dispersing the lateral impact force of the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 to the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2 and the front suspension rear cross beam 4. The right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower swing arm is located at the bottom of the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 and extends obliquely downward in the direction of the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1. A triangular structure is formed between the right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower swing arm and the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2, which is convenient for dispersing the lateral impact force of the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 to the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2 and the front suspension rear cross beam 4.

[0043] The two ends of the front suspension rear cross beam 4 are detachably fixedly connected to the lower arm left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 and the lower arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 through fasteners 8. It is convenient to repair and replace the front suspension rear cross beam 4 after it is crushed and deformed by the lateral impact force. The front suspension rear cross beam 4 is made of aluminum alloy material, which has anti-corrosion performance while realizing the lightweight of the off-road vehicle frame, thereby improving the service life of the off-road vehicle frame.

[0044] At the top of the rear cross member 4 of the front suspension, there is a column 7 vertically connected to the rear mounting cross member assembly 2. The front section assembly 1 of the left longitudinal beam, the front section assembly 3 of the right longitudinal beam, the rear mounting cross member assembly 2, the left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower control arm, the right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower control arm, the rear cross member 4 of the front suspension and the column 7 form a closed "day" - shaped structure. The rear cross member 4 of the front suspension and the column 7 are integrally formed by stamping and welding or integrally casting of aluminum alloy material. There is a detachable fixed connection between the top of the column 7 and the rear mounting cross member assembly 2 through a fastener 8.

[0045] The rear mounting cross member assembly 2 is in a "〔" - shaped structure with the opening facing down. The two ends of the rear mounting cross member assembly 2 are respectively located at the tops of the front section assembly 1 of the left longitudinal beam and the front section assembly 3 of the right longitudinal beam and are welded to the front section assembly 1 of the left longitudinal beam and the front section assembly 3 of the right longitudinal beam. The left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower control arm is welded to the bottom of the front section assembly 1 of the left longitudinal beam, and the right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower control arm is welded to the bottom of the front section assembly 3 of the right longitudinal beam. The left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower control arm and the right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower control arm can not only be used to install the lower control arm of the vehicle frame as the mounting fulcrum of the lower control arm, but also serve as the connection structure of the rear mounting cross member assembly 2, simplifying the structure of the off - road vehicle frame, reducing the overall weight of the off - road vehicle frame and realizing lightweight design.

[0046] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in

[0047] and

[0048] Then, the horizontal force continues to be transmitted in the horizontal direction, and is then transmitted from the front suspension rear cross beam 4 to the lower control arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6, and from the lower control arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 to the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3. The lateral impact force continues to be transmitted and gradually decreases, and the horizontal force is released. At this time, all forces are released to reduce the lateral impact force from invading the vehicle interior space and protect the safety of the occupants in the vehicle.

[0049] When the vehicle is subjected to a torsional force in the Z direction, the rear mounting crossbeam assembly 2, the left rear mounting bracket assembly 5 of the lower control arm, the right rear mounting bracket assembly 6 of the lower control arm, and the front suspension rear crossbeam 4 simultaneously act on the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3, and the force acting on the front suspension rear crossbeam 4 can be transmitted to the rear mounting crossbeam assembly 2 through its own column 7 structure, so that a part of the stress on the front suspension rear crossbeam 4 is transmitted to the rear mounting crossbeam assembly 2, which greatly reduces the force on the front suspension rear crossbeam 4, reduces the stress generated by the torsional force acting on the front suspension rear crossbeam 4, and prevents the frame from deforming and the weld from cracking.

[0050] This application combines the overall stress conditions of the vehicle, changes the traditional single-channel force transmission beam structure, adopts a double-channel force transmission beam structure, forms a double-load matrix unit, and the double-channel beam structure design with overlapping distribution in the Z-direction space makes the vehicle's side Y-direction collision impact force and Z-direction space multi-dimensional force transmission, and the overall force is divergent and propagated, thereby improving the overall structural strength and rigidity. It solves the problem that the traditional frame can withstand small lateral impact force and Z-direction torsional force, improves the rigidity and stress conditions of the frame, and reduces the threat to the life safety of the occupants and the risk of vehicle damage when the vehicle is subjected to lateral impact force and Z-direction torsional force.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an off-road vehicle frame with a dual-channel force transmission structure, wherein the lower arm left rear mounting bracket assembly 5, the lower arm right rear mounting bracket assembly 6, the rear mounting cross beam assembly 2, the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3 of the off-road vehicle frame are all hot-formed steel stamping parts. Hot-formed steel refers to a steel plate that is formed once after being heated to 950°C and then rapidly cooled, thereby comprehensively improving the strength of the steel plate, and the yield degree reaches as high as 1000Mpa. The yield degree of the hot-formed steel used in the present application reaches 1600-1800Mpa, which improves the structural strength of the off-road vehicle frame as a whole.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments: See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an off-road vehicle frame with a dual-channel force transmission structure, and the frame crossbeam of the off-road vehicle frame also includes a front mounting crossbeam assembly 9 located in front of the rear mounting crossbeam assembly 2 and connected between the left longitudinal beam front section assembly 1 and the right longitudinal beam front section assembly 3. The front mounting crossbeam assembly 9 is a "〔"-shaped structure with an opening facing upward, and the two ends of the front mounting crossbeam assembly 9 are respectively provided with a lower swing arm left front mounting bracket assembly and a lower swing arm right front mounting bracket assembly.

[0053] The front mounting crossbeam assembly 9 and the rear mounting crossbeam assembly 2 cooperate with each other for installing the front motor power system, the left front mounting bracket assembly of the lower swing arm and the left rear mounting bracket assembly of the lower swing arm 5 cooperate with each other for articulating the left lower swing arm, and the right front mounting bracket assembly of the lower swing arm and the right rear mounting bracket assembly of the lower swing arm 6 cooperate with each other for articulating the right lower swing arm.
