Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of automobile, and relates to a front shock absorber mounting structure of an automobile. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to improve the ride comfort of the automobile, the shock absorber is installed in parallel with the elastic element in the suspension system to suppress the vibration when the spring rebounds after absorbing the shock and the impact from the road surface, and to improve the driving comfort.

[0003] Generally, the front shock absorber of the passenger car is fixed on the front shock absorber seat by three fasteners. When the vehicle is running, the load generated by the impact of the road surface is transmitted to the front water channel, shotgun and front longitudinal beam through the front shock absorber seat. Therefore, the structure near the mounting point of the front shock absorber seat needs to meet certain stiffness and strength requirements. If the front shock absorber mounting structure does not meet the requirements, it is easy to cause the metal sheet and welding point of the water channel, shotgun and other parts to crack, which brings safety hazards. Generally, the thickness of the front water channel is relatively thin, and it is more prone to cracking. The usual practice is to reduce the connection between the water channel and the front shock absorber seat, so that the load is transmitted more from other directions. However, this approach is not conducive to the transmission of the load of the front shock absorber seat to the water channel direction, which weakens the local stiffness and strength of the vehicle body. SUMMARY
