[0038] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, the following provides a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0040] In addition, if terms such as "first" and "second" appear, these terms are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present application, if the term "plurality" appears, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically and clearly defined.

[0041] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if terms such as "install", "connect", "join", "fix", etc. appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense.

[0043] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. If so, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation.

[0044] Since there are many parts and heavy weights at the front end of the vehicle frame, in order to meet the requirements of vehicle lightweight and integration, in an embodiment of the related art, a front extended beam integrated bracket is proposed. By constructing the front extended beam integrated bracket into a hollow flat plate structure to achieve lightweight, and by setting multiple groups of different mounting hole groups on the front extended beam integrated bracket for mounting structures such as the cab suspension bracket, steering gear bracket and front suspension bracket at the front end of the vehicle frame, so as to achieve integration. However, in order to achieve lightweight and install more structures, the stiffness of the front extended beam integrated bracket in the related art is relatively low, and this integrally formed integrated bracket also cannot be completely fitted with the mounting surfaces of the structures mounted on it, resulting in poor ride comfort.

[0045] Therefore, this application proposes a front extended beam integrated bracket 10 and a vehicle to solve at least one of the above problems.

[0046] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the front extended beam integrated bracket in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the front extended beam integrated bracket from another angle in an embodiment of this application.

[0047] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the present application provides a front extended beam integrated bracket 10, which includes a main body portion 11 and a first mounting portion 12. The main body portion 11 is used to be respectively mounted on the cooling module, the cab mounting module and the steering gear module of the vehicle, and the first mounting portion 12 is used to be mounted on the front cab mounting of the vehicle. The main body portion 11 has a first preset dimension D1 along the first direction X and a second preset dimension D2 along the second direction Y, and the main body portion 11 is configured as a block structure with a channel (not shown in the figure); the first mounting portion 12 is provided on one side surface of the main body portion 11 along the second direction Y, the first mounting portion 12 is provided with a mating structure 12a, and the mating structure 12a has a mating surface that fits with the front cab mounting. Wherein, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0048] It should be noted that the block structure refers to a geometric block with a certain length, width and thickness, or it can also be other irregular shapes. In the present application, the first preset dimension D1 refers to the thickness dimension of the main body portion 11 along the first direction X, and the second preset dimension D2 refers to the height dimension of the main body portion 11 along the second direction Y. Exemplarily, the first preset dimension D1 can be greater than the thickness dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above, and the second preset dimension D2 can be less than the height dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above. Of course, the first preset dimension D1 can also be less than the thickness dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above, and the second preset dimension D2 can also be greater than the height dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above. As long as overall, by setting the first preset dimension D1 and the second preset dimension D2, the main body portion 11 is a block structure rather than a flat plate structure, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard. In the case where the first preset dimension D1 is greater than the thickness dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above, and the second preset dimension D2 is less than the height dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 in an embodiment of the prior art related above, the stiffness of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 can be effectively improved, and furthermore, by configuring the main body portion 11 as a block structure, the stiffness of the extended beam integrated bracket 10 can also be further improved.

[0049] The channel refers to a structure formed by removing a part of the main body portion 11. The channel can be a cavity provided in the main body portion 11, or a through hole provided in the main body portion 11. The channel can be provided at one end of the main body portion 11 along the third direction, or at opposite ends of the main body portion 11 along the third direction, or can extend from one end of the main body portion 11 along the third direction to the other end of the main body portion 11 along the third direction.

[0050] The above-mentioned front extended beam integrated bracket 10 at least includes a main body portion 11 and a first mounting portion 12. Thus, by providing the main body portion 11 and the first mounting portion 12, and the main body portion 11 is used to mount the cooling module, cab suspension module, and steering gear module of the vehicle, and the first mounting portion 12 is used to mount the front cab suspension of the vehicle, so as to realize the integration of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10; the main body portion 11 has a first preset dimension D1 along the first direction X and a second preset dimension D2 along the second direction Y, so that the main body portion 11 has a certain thickness and a height that is not easily bent and deformed, which is beneficial to improving the stiffness of the main body portion 11; by constructing the main body portion 11 into a block structure with a channel, setting the channel can reduce the overall weight of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 and realize the lightweight of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10, and setting the block structure is beneficial to improving the overall stiffness of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10; by providing a mating structure 12a on the first mounting portion 12, the mating surface of the mating structure 12a can completely fit the part of the front cab suspension connecting to the first mounting portion 12, so that the front cab suspension can be buffered and shock-absorbed during the vehicle driving process, thereby improving the ride comfort of the whole vehicle.

[0051] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the first main section in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the second main section in an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the main body portion 11 extends along the third direction Z. The main body portion 11 includes a first main section 111 and a second main section 112 connecting the first main section 111. The first main section 111 is generally in a square block structure as a whole, and the first main section 111 is provided with a first cavity a3 (refer to Figure 3 ). The second main section 112 extends along the third direction Z in a direction away from the first main section 111 in a bent manner, and the second main section 112 is provided with a second cavity a4 communicating with the first cavity a3 (refer to Figure 4 ), and the first cavity a3 and the second cavity a4 together form a channel. Among them, the first mounting portion 12 is provided at one end of the first main section 111 along the third direction Z close to the second main section 112; the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. It can be understood that in the present application, the shapes of the first cavity a3 and the second cavity a4 are not limited.

[0053] It should be noted that both the first main section 111 and the second main section 112 have a first preset dimension D1 and a second preset dimension D2. However, due to the different front-end frame structures to be installed on the first main section 111 and the second main section 112, the specific structural shapes and preset dimensions of the first main section 111 and the second main section 112 are different. In addition, structures such as the first mounting portion 12 and the cooling module installed on the main body portion 11 will exert forces on the main body portion 11, causing the main body portion 11 to undergo longitudinal tensile or compressive deformation and transverse deformation in the two directions of the first direction X and the second direction Y. Therefore, the first preset dimension D1 is set along the first direction X, and the second preset dimension D2 is set along the second direction Y. That is, in combination with the structure and force conditions of the main body portion 11, the corresponding dimensions of the main body portion 11 are set to improve the stiffness of the main body portion 11.

[0054] In this way, by providing the connected first cavity a3 and second cavity a4 to jointly form a channel, the lightweight design of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10 is realized; by setting the second main section 112 as a bent and extended shape structure, the second main section 112 can minimize the dimension along the second direction Y while satisfying the installation of some structures at the front end of the frame, which is beneficial to improving the anti-bending deformation ability of the main body portion 11 and the stiffness of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10.

[0055] In the related art, in order to reduce the weight of the front extended beam integrated bracket and achieve lightweight design, the thickness dimension of the front extended beam integrated bracket in an embodiment of the related art is relatively thin, the height dimension is relatively large, and the whole is set as a hollow structure. And in order to install the structure at the front end of the frame, a relatively large number of mounting hole groups are centrally provided; after installing the structure at the front end of the frame, since the structure at the front end of the frame cannot be symmetrically arranged on the front extended beam integrated bracket and the overall weight of the structure at the front end of the frame is relatively large, the front extended beam integrated bracket is prone to bending deformation due to uneven force and insufficient stiffness, and even cracks and fractures may occur.

[0056] The inventor of the present application found that the front extension beam integrated bracket in an embodiment of the related technology was bent and deformed after being used for a period of time. For this reason, the inventor proposed a front extension beam integrated bracket 10. The inventor split the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 into a plurality of independent mounting structures such as a main body 11, a first mounting part 12, a longitudinal beam mounting part 13, and a second mounting part 14, so that the mounting hole group for mounting the front end structure of the frame is dispersed to different mounting structures, and each mounting structure corresponds to installing one or more of the front end structures of the frame. This is beneficial to improving the rigidity of the front extension beam integrated bracket 10, and can also disperse the tension or pressure of the front end structure of the frame on the front extension beam integrated bracket 10, and the installation position of other mounting structures on the main body 11 can be adjusted to make the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 as uniformly stressed as possible, thereby improving the situation where the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 is severely bent and deformed in one direction; in addition, other mounting structures can be connected to the main body 11 by fasteners, and the fasteners can enhance the stability of the connection and can also improve the rigidity of the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 to a certain extent.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first main body section 111 is provided with a first weight-reducing hole a1 along the first direction X. Optionally, the first weight-reducing hole a1 is a cylindrical through hole that penetrates the first main body section 111. It is understood that the shape of the first weight-reducing hole a1 is not limited to the shape of the first weight-reducing hole a1 in the present application. Figure 1 The shape shown in the figure can be set to any other shape that meets the requirements, and a plurality of first weight-reducing holes a1 can be provided, and can also be provided on the second main body segment 112, without making too many restrictions here.

[0058] In this way, by providing the first weight-reducing hole a1 on the first main body section 111 , the overall weight of the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 can be further reduced, which is beneficial to achieving lightweight of the front extension beam integrated bracket 10 .

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first mounting portion 12 includes a first mounting segment 121 disposed on the first main body segment 111 and a second mounting segment 122 connected to the first mounting segment 121. A first surface c1 on one side of the first mounting segment 121 along the third direction Z and a second surface c2 on one side of the second mounting segment 122 along the third direction Z are arranged at intervals, and a matching portion c3 is provided at one end of the second mounting segment 122 connected to the first mounting segment 121 along the second direction Y. The first surface c1, the second surface c2 and the matching portion c3 together form a matching structure 12a. Among them, the matching portion c3 is arranged on the second surface c2.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 andFigure 2 The mating portion c3 is a groove on the first surface c1. The groove wall, the first surface c1, and the second surface c2 together form the mating surface of the mating structure 12a. Optionally, the inner wall surface of the groove is an arc surface. It can be understood that setting the mating portion c3 as a groove is also beneficial to reducing the overall weight of the front extended beam integrated bracket 10.

[0061] In this way, by setting the mating structure 12a, the surface of the cab front mount installed on the first mounting portion 12 can be completely attached to the first surface c1, the mating portion c3, and the second surface c2, thereby improving the vibration situation of the cab front mount during vehicle driving and being beneficial to improving the riding comfort.

[0062] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 , the first mounting section 121 and the second mounting section 122 are respectively provided with first mounting holes 12b. Fasteners such as bolts pass through the first mounting holes 12b to connect the first mounting portion 12 and the cab front mount. Optionally, two first mounting holes 12b are provided at intervals along the first direction X on the first mounting section 121, and two first mounting holes 12b are provided at intervals along the first direction X on the second mounting section 122. It can be understood that the position and number of the first mounting holes 12b on the first mounting portion 12 can be set as required; the first mounting portion 12 and the cab front mount can also be connected by other connecting members and connection methods, which will not be limited here too much.

The longitudinal beam mounting portion 13 is provided on the surface of the second main body section 112 facing away from the first main body section 111 along the third direction Z.

It can be understood that the position and number of the second mounting holes 131 on the longitudinal beam mounting portion 13 can be set as needed; the longitudinal beam mounting portion 13 and the longitudinal beam can also be connected by other connecting members and connection methods, which are not limited too much here.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The longitudinal beam mounting portion 13 is provided with a plurality of second weight-reducing holes 132 at intervals along the third direction Z, and the second weight-reducing holes 132 are located between two rows of second mounting holes 131 along the second direction Y.
