Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle body manufacturing technology, and in particular to an integrated vehicle body front end structure and a new energy vehicle that are adaptable to multiple vehicle models. Background Art

[0002] Passenger car development has a relatively fixed life cycle. Today, automobile manufacturers in the world are facing diversified customer demand pressure and more severe cost pressure. In order to occupy a wider range of market segments, automobile manufacturers must adapt to the increasingly prominent personalized needs of consumers at all levels and levels, and produce multiple varieties and models of cars. As a result, the concept of passenger car platform (hereinafter referred to as platform) came into being.

[0003] Models sharing the same platform should have the following characteristics:

[0004] 1. Shared modules or parts: Share key modules or parts as much as possible while ensuring the differentiated needs of different models;

[0005] 2. Common functions and performance boundaries: Shared modules or parts determine that all models on the platform have certain commonalities in performance and can establish a shared optimal process solution;

[0006] 3. A set of common interfaces: to ensure the consistency of the installation process of different specifications of powertrains, suspension systems and different types of upper bodies on the platform, as well as the universality of the platform's own specification evolution;

[0007] 4. Shared manufacturing process route: Models on the same platform share the same process route to ensure the uniformity of the company's overall manufacturing planning;

[0008] 5. Have a certain size bandwidth: Use a common engineering solution to solve the fluctuation of key dimensions within a certain range, and further meet the personalized needs of users.

[0009] Since the 1920s, General Motors has named the platforms shared by its brands with letters, from side beam frame chassis and non-load-bearing body models to models after the prevalence of load-bearing body models, and more than 30 platforms have been born. Around 2010, Volkswagen upgraded the concept of platform to "modular platform" by integrating more than 20 platforms under its umbrella to 4. Since then, the platform-based vehicle development strategy is not limited to "changing shells" between brands, but also extends to "expansion" across vehicle levels in the vertical, horizontal and height directions.

[0010] The longitudinal expansion of automobile products is mainly achieved by changing the length of the body floor and longitudinal beams, which is reflected in the changes in the length, wheelbase, front overhang and rear overhang of the vehicle.

[0011] The lateral expansion of automobile products is mainly achieved by changing the width of the body floor and the front and rear suspensions, which is reflected in the changes in the width and wheelbase of the vehicle.

[0012] The height expansion of automobile products is mainly achieved by changing the wheel size, chassis suspension height and body height, which is reflected in the changes in the height of the vehicle and the ground clearance size.

[0013] Entering the era of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicle manufacturers have launched popular products one after another, diluting costs by mass production of a single model to open up the market, which has put forward higher requirements on production efficiency. Innovative production processes such as partial die-casting integrated body structure have emerged.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an integrated vehicle front end structure adapted to multiple vehicle models, including:

[0045] The front cabin body 1 includes a front cross beam 14, two cabin side beams 11 and two front shock towers 13. The two ends of the front cross beam 14 are respectively connected to the rear ends of the two cabin side beams 11, and the two front shock towers 13 are respectively connected to the tops of the two cabin side beams 11. The entire front cabin body 1 can be made by integral casting, without the need for multiple steel plate stamping parts to be spliced ​​and welded and fixed. Simplifying the manufacturing process of the front cabin body 1 can also save a lot of investment and man-hours in the welding production line. The front cabin body 1 can be made of metal material, preferably, aluminum material, so that the weight of the front cabin body 1 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the vehicle's cruising range.

[0046] Shock absorber bracket 24, the top of the two front shock absorber towers 13 can be detachably connected with a shock absorber bracket 24 for adjusting the vehicle body height. The shock absorber bracket 24 can adjust the vehicle body height of different models to adapt to low-profile sedans and SUV models with high ground clearance.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application is a one-piece front-end structure adapted to multiple vehicle models, which is provided with a front cabin body 1. The front cross beam 14, two cabin side beams 11 and two front shock towers 13 of the front cabin body 1 are designed in an integrated manner, which improves the continuity of the front cabin body 1, so that the collision force can be better transmitted on the front cabin body 1, thereby improving the collision performance of the front cabin body 1, and reducing the amount of front enclosure intrusion to reduce damage to the driver and passengers. At the same time, the number of body parts is reduced, which can shorten the development cycle and reduce the development cost, which is conducive to the rapid iteration of products, can achieve lightweight lower body, and can ensure that the lower body has sufficient rigidity.

[0048] In addition, the present application has a shock absorber bracket 24 for adjusting the vehicle height detachably connected to the top of the two front shock absorber towers 13. The top of the front shock absorber tower 13 is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating and positioning the shock absorber bracket 24, and the shock absorber bracket 24 is provided with a shock absorber mounting hole adapted to different vehicle widths. The shock absorber bracket 24 can be installed on the top of the front shock absorber tower 13 in the forward or reverse direction, providing two high and low installation positions for the upper seat of the front suspension shock absorber 2, so that the front cabin body 1 is suitable for both low-profile sedans and SUV models with high ground clearance.

[0052] When adjusting the vehicle height, it is only necessary to adjust the orientation of the front and back sides of the shock absorber bracket 24. If the vehicle height needs to be increased, the shock absorber mounting plate 242 is positioned downward, and the front shock absorber tower lap plate 241 is positioned upward and installed on the front shock absorber tower 13. If the vehicle height needs to be lowered, the shock absorber mounting plate 242 is positioned upward, and the front shock absorber tower lap plate 241 is positioned downward and installed on the front shock absorber tower 13.

[0053] The shock absorber mounting holes include a front shock absorber assembly through hole 244, two front shock absorber mounting holes 245 surrounding the outer periphery of the front shock absorber assembly through hole 244, and a front shock absorber mounting positioning hole 246.

At the same time, the number of body parts is reduced, which can shorten the development cycle and reduce development costs, is conducive to the rapid iteration of products, can achieve lightweight lower body, and can ensure that the lower body has sufficient rigidity.
