[0038] Specifically, after the off-road heavy-load front axle is installed on the vehicle, the vehicle runs in the forward direction and the opposite direction is the backward direction.

[0039] Specifically, the front plate 2-7 is provided with limit blocks 2-9 for steering limit at positions close to the kingpin mounting seat 2-1.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the front axle housing assembly 2 is a hollow structure.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the booster cylinder bracket 2-8 includes a booster cylinder bracket base plate 2-8b and two booster arms 2-8a arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the same side of the booster cylinder bracket base plate 2-8b. The booster arm 2-8a is fixedly connected to the booster cylinder bracket base plate 2-8b, and a booster arm connecting rib 2-8c is provided between the two booster arms 2-8a.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder support 2-2 has a hydraulic cylinder support base plate 2-2a and two hydraulic cylinder support vertical plates 2-2b arranged in parallel and at intervals on the same side of the hydraulic cylinder support base plate 2-2a, and the hydraulic cylinder support base plate 2-2a is fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder support vertical plate 2-2b, and the hydraulic cylinder support vertical plate 2-2b is provided with a hydraulic cylinder mounting hole 2-2d and a hydraulic cylinder mounting hole reinforcement convex ring 2-2c, and the hydraulic cylinder support 2-2 includes a first hydraulic cylinder support and a second hydraulic cylinder support, and the hydraulic cylinder support vertical plate 2-2b of the second hydraulic cylinder support also has a transverse push support mounting hole 2-2f and a transverse push support mounting hole reinforcement convex ring 2-2e.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the shock absorber bracket 2-3 includes a shock absorber bracket base plate 2-3b and two shock absorber bracket vertical plates 2-3a arranged in parallel and at intervals on the same side of the shock absorber bracket base plate 2-3b, a transverse reinforcing rib plate 2-3e and a vertical reinforcing rib plate 2-3f are arranged between the two shock absorber bracket vertical plates 2-3a, an upper shock absorber mounting hole 2-3h and a lower shock absorber mounting hole 2-3c are arranged on the shock absorber bracket vertical plate 2-3a, and an upper shock absorber mounting hole reinforcing convex ring 2-3g and a lower shock absorber mounting hole reinforcing convex ring 2-3d are arranged on the upper shock absorber mounting hole 2-3h and the lower shock absorber mounting hole 2-3c near the reinforcing rib plate.

[0045] Specifically, the first end of the transverse reinforcing rib plate 2-3e is connected to the shock absorber bracket bottom plate 2-3b, the two opposite side walls adjacent to the first end are respectively connected to the two shock absorber bracket vertical plates 2-3a, and the two opposite side walls of the vertical reinforcing rib plate 2-3f are respectively connected to the two shock absorber bracket vertical plates 2-3a.

[0046] The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing an off-road heavy-load front axle, wherein the suspension attachment is welded to the load-bearing plate beam, and the welding steps include:

[0047] Step 1: Weld the booster cylinder bracket 2-8 to the front plate 2-7, and the welding method between the booster cylinder bracket bottom plate 2-8b and the front plate 2-7 is circumferential welding or angle welding;

[0048] Step 2: Fix the hydraulic cylinder support 2-2 and the upper plate 2-4 by circumferential welding through the second welding square hole, first weld and fix the bent section of the hydraulic cylinder support bottom plate 2-2a and the bent surface of the upper plate 2-4, then apply a certain pressure to the straight section of the hydraulic cylinder support bottom plate 2-2a to make it fit with the straight surface of the upper plate 2-4, and then weld and fix the straight section of the hydraulic cylinder support bottom plate 2-2a.

[0049] Step 3: Weld the shock absorber bracket 2-3 to the rear plate 2-10. The side of the shock absorber bracket vertical plate 2-3a close to the rear plate 2-10 has a connecting arm 2-3i. First, weld and fix the connecting arm 2-3i to the hydraulic cylinder bracket 2-2, and then perform circumferential welding on the first welding square hole to fix the shock absorber bracket bottom plate 2-3b to the rear plate 2-10. Finally, perform angle welding on the outer peripheral wall of the shock absorber bracket bottom plate 2-3b. No welding is required on the side close to the upper plate 2-4. There is line contact between the connecting arm 2-3i and the hydraulic cylinder bracket 2-2, and the welding area is relatively small, and the welding strength is small; while there is surface contact between 2-3b and the rear plate 2-10, and the weld area is large, and the welding strength is large. If the shock absorber bracket bottom plate 2-3b is welded first and then the connecting arm 2-3i is welded, the problem of the deviation being difficult to adjust due to the welding error of the shock absorber bracket bottom plate 2-3b will occur, which will cause the welding position of the connecting arm 2-3i to be inaccurate; while welding the connecting arm 2-3i first will facilitate adjustment because the welding strength between the connecting arm 2-3i and the hydraulic cylinder bracket 2-2 is relatively small, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the shock absorber bracket 2-3. At the same time, the method of not requiring welding on the side close to the upper plate 2-4 can effectively avoid the welding of the shock absorber bracket 2-3 affecting the connection strength of the weld between the upper plate 2-4 and the rear plate 2-10, that is, reducing the stress concentration phenomenon generated between the welds, thereby improving the strength and effectively improving the bearing performance of the front axle housing.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the minimum distance between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the upper plate 2-4 is L1, the minimum distance between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the lower plate 2-6 is L2, and the reserved weld groove height of the front plate 2-7 is H;

[0051] When L1 < H, the welding method between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the front plate 2-7 is angle welding, and the welding on the side of the bottom plate 2-8b close to the upper plate 2-4 is cancelled.

[0052] When L2 < H, the welding method between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the front plate 2-7 is angle welding, and the welding on the side of the bottom plate 2-8b close to the lower plate 2-6 is cancelled. By adopting the angle welding method, while ensuring the welding strength of the assist cylinder bracket 2-8, the influence of the welding of the assist cylinder bracket 2-8 on the strength of the welds between the front plate 2-7 and the upper plate 2-4 and the lower plate 2-6 is effectively avoided, the welding strength between the upper / lower plate and the front plate is improved, and the load-bearing capacity and safety of the axle are effectively improved.

[0053] When L1 > H and L2 > H, the welding method between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the front plate 2-7 is circumferential welding.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, when the welding method between the bottom plate 2-8b of the assist cylinder bracket and the front plate 2-7 is angle welding, the distance between the starting position of the weld and the reserved weld groove of the front plate 2-7 is greater than 10 mm.

[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The above is only the preferred implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and variations can still be made, and these improvements and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.

6. The method for manufacturing an off-road heavy-duty front axle according to claim 5, characterized in that: When the welding method between the booster cylinder bracket bottom plate (2-8b) and the front plate (2-7) is angular welding, the distance between the starting position of the weld and the reserved weld groove of the front plate (2-7) is greater than 10 mm.
