[0048] Other advantages and effects of the present application can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the above description. The present application can also be implemented or applied in other different specific embodiments, and various modifications or changes can be made to the details in the specification based on different views and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present application, but not for limiting the protection scope of the present application.
[0049] It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and the drawings only show the components related to the present application, but are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. The shape, number and proportion of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout pattern of the components can be more complex.
[0050] In vehicle crash tests, passive safety frontal collision has three forms: 100%, 40% and 25% frontal collision. The smaller the overlap, the smaller the force area of contact, and the higher the damage to the vehicle body and the occupants. The judgment of the vehicle body is generally to record and analyze the deformation of the vehicle body during and after the collision, and to collect the injury values of each part of the human body combined with the dummy, so as to judge the protection ability of the vehicle body to the occupants. At present, the overlap area of 25% offset collision is outside the subframe longitudinal beam, and the longitudinal beam of the subframe cannot effectively absorb energy, which is easy to cause deformation of the passenger compartment and serious injury to the legs and feet of the occupants.
[0051] The subframe structure in the related art is divided into a butterfly beam and a frame beam. The butterfly beam can only cover the rear part of the engine compartment and cannot establish a force transmission path in the lower part of the engine compartment. Some vehicle models also increase the assembly type longitudinal beam and transverse beam at the front end of the butterfly beam, but the assembly is complicated and prone to assembly problems, and each bolt connection point limits the load transmission capacity of the structure, which has limited effect on collision improvement. The frame beam structure can better achieve this demand, but the longitudinal beam span is large, and the same material is used in the dense area of the rear mounting point and the front area without mounting points, resulting in high weight of the entire structure and poor economy.
[0052] To this end, the embodiment of the present application provides an anti-offset collision subframe and a vehicle, based on the characteristics of high material utilization and good economy of the butterfly beam subframe, an enhanced component specially for collision requirements is added to the front end of the butterfly beam subframe body, a transmission channel of the under-cabin collision load is constructed, which can effectively reduce the intrusion of the cab, improve the anti-offset collision performance, and achieve the purpose of achieving the anti-collision target with less weight than the frame beam. The specific structure of the anti-offset collision subframe is described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0053] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides an anti-offset collision subframe, which comprises a subframe body 2 with a butterfly beam structure and an enhanced component 1 welded to the front end of the subframe body 2.
[0054] The enhanced component 1 comprises a pair of longitudinal beams 11 and a front cross beam 12, the pair of longitudinal beams 11 are symmetrically and spacedly arranged, the outer side of the longitudinal beam 11 is formed with an outwardly extending outer protrusion 13, and the two ends of the front cross beam 12 respectively penetrate through the corresponding longitudinal beam 11 and are welded to the outer protrusion 13.
[0055] In this embodiment, the enhanced component 1 can transmit impact force and absorb energy when a collision occurs, thereby reducing the deformation of the passenger compartment and the maximum collision acceleration. Specifically, the outer side of the pair of longitudinal beams 11 of the enhanced component 1 is respectively formed with an outwardly extending outer protrusion 13, and the two ends of the front cross beam 12 respectively penetrate through the corresponding longitudinal beam 11 and are welded to the outer protrusion 13. The space between the pair of longitudinal beams 11 and the front cross beam 12 can accommodate a range extender when designed, which takes into account the arrangement of the range extender vehicle. The front cross beam 12 is formed by bending a pipe material, which simplifies the process and reduces the cost.
[0056] The two end extending parts of the front cross beam 12 respectively penetrate through the corresponding longitudinal beam 11 and are welded to the outer protrusion 13 to become the strength core, which has good integrity. Compared with the scheme of welding a structural member to the outer side of the longitudinal beam 11 in the related art, the structural strength of the outer protrusion 13 is improved, and the premature failure of the outer protrusion 13 is avoided to affect the function of the longitudinal beam 11. As shown in Figure 1 As shown in the figure, under the 25% offset collision condition, the barrier collides with the outer protrusion 13, the load F is transmitted to the left longitudinal beam 11 through the extending part of the front cross beam 12, the left longitudinal beam 11 transmits part of the collision load to the lower end of the A-pillar, and at the same time, the deformation energy absorption of the longitudinal beam 11 is maximized, thereby reducing the deformation damage and acceleration peak of the middle and upper parts of the A-pillar, and improving the anti-collision ability.
[0057] Furthermore, based on the load-bearing structure division, the subframe body 2, with its butterfly beam structure, concentrates the main mounting points and bears a greater load. It utilizes thicker, higher-performance materials, and can borrow from existing products or make minor modifications. The reinforcing component 1 bears less load under normal conditions, but in collision conditions, it primarily withstands pressure. Therefore, it can use thinner materials. Compared to the frame beam structure, this effectively reduces weight while achieving the same load-bearing capacity and collision performance. Since pure electric vehicles and range-extended models are sensitive to range and energy consumption, this design allows for stricter control of the subframe weight. The reinforcing component 1 is welded to the subframe body 2, reducing assembly steps and eliminating assembly difficulties caused by welding deformation of parts.
[0058] The offset collision resistant subframe provided in this application embodiment, based on the high material utilization and economic advantages of the butterfly beam subframe body 2, adds a reinforcement component 1 specifically designed for collision requirements to the front end of the butterfly beam subframe body 2. The reinforcement component 1 includes a pair of longitudinal beams 11 and a front crossbeam 12. The pair of longitudinal beams 11 are symmetrically arranged and spaced apart. The outer side of the longitudinal beams 11 forms an outwardly extending protrusion 13. The two ends of the front crossbeam 12 respectively pass through the longitudinal beams 11 and are welded to the protrusion 13, thereby constructing a lower cabin collision protection structure. The load transfer channel, under the 25% offset collision condition, when the barrier collides with the outward protrusion, the load F is transferred to the left longitudinal beam through the outward extension of the front crossbeam. This allows the left longitudinal beam to transfer part of the collision load to the lower end of the A-pillar, while maximizing the deformation energy absorption of the longitudinal beam. This reduces the deformation damage and peak acceleration of the middle and upper parts of the A-pillar, thereby improving the collision avoidance capability, effectively reducing cab intrusion, improving offset collision resistance performance, and achieving the goal of lightweight and low energy consumption to avoid collisions. It has strong practicality and economy.
[0059] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam 11 includes an upper beam plate 11a and a lower beam plate 11b arranged opposite to each other. The upper beam plate 11a has a first lap notch 111 at the end away from the subframe body 2, and the lower beam plate 11b has a second lap notch 112 at the end away from the subframe body 2. The first lap notch 111 and the second lap notch 112 enclose an opening that allows the front crossbeam 12 to pass through. The upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b are welded together.
[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b of the longitudinal beam 11 are interlocked and welded together. The first lap notch 111 and the second lap notch 112 form an opening that allows the front crossbeam 12 to pass through, which is used to cooperate with the front crossbeam 12 for welding, making it easier to assemble the front crossbeam 12 and the longitudinal beam 11 and simplifying the manufacturing process.
[0061] Further, the outer side of the upper beam plate 11a is formed with an upper reinforcing member 131 extending outward, and the outer side of the lower beam plate 11b is formed with a lower reinforcing member 132 extending outward, the upper reinforcing member 131 and the lower reinforcing member 132 are oppositely arranged to form the outer protruding portion 13; the upper reinforcing member 131 and the lower reinforcing member 132 are welded with the end portion of the front cross beam 12.
[0062] As shown in Figure 2 , the front cross beam 12 penetrates the upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b from the opening and extends outward. The upper reinforcing member 131 and the lower reinforcing member 132 form a snap-weld structure and are welded with the end portion of the front cross beam 12, the upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b of the longitudinal beam 11, thereby reinforcing the overhanging portion of the end portion of the front cross beam 12 and forming an overall outer protruding structure with good integrity. Compared with the scheme of welding a structural member on the outer side of the longitudinal beam 11 alone in the related art, the structural strength of the outer protruding portion 13 is improved, and the premature failure of the outer protruding portion 13 is avoided to affect the function of the longitudinal beam 11.
[0063] In some embodiments, the upper reinforcing member 131 is arranged to taper outward from the upper beam plate 11a, and the lower reinforcing member 132 is arranged to taper outward from the lower beam plate 11b. As shown in Figure 2 , the outer protruding portion 13 formed by the snap-welding of the upper reinforcing member 131 and the lower reinforcing member 132 forms a triangular structure tapering outward from the longitudinal beam 11, thereby reinforcing the overhanging portion of the end portion of the front cross beam 12, allowing the collision load to be transmitted to the left longitudinal beam 11 through the overhanging portion of the front cross beam 12, allowing the left longitudinal beam 11 to transmit part of the collision load to the lower end of the A-pillar, and maximizing the deformation energy absorption of the longitudinal beam 11.
[0064] In some embodiments, a support pipe 14 is welded between the upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b near the opening. The support pipe 14 is used to mount the longitudinal beam 11 and the vehicle body together, increase the connection strength between the longitudinal beam 11 and the vehicle body, and avoid early failure in the collision.
[0065] Further, the side wall of the upper beam plate 11a near one end of the subframe body 2 is provided with a swing arm through hole 113, and the top wall of the upper beam plate 11a near the swing arm through hole 113 is provided with an auxiliary reinforcing member 15. The side wall of the auxiliary reinforcing member 15 is provided with an auxiliary through hole 152 corresponding to the swing arm through hole 113, and the top wall of the auxiliary reinforcing member 15 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 151 extending along the length of the auxiliary reinforcing member 15.
[0066] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the bolt for the swing arm front bushing of the subframe body 2 is generally inserted from the front end to the rear end, and the upper beam plate 11a of the longitudinal beam 11 is provided with a swing arm through hole 113 as a channel for the bolt and assembly tool. Due to the existence of the swing arm through hole 113, the structure near the upper beam plate 11a will be weakened, so the inside of the upper beam plate 11a is adhesively welded with an auxiliary reinforcing member 15. The auxiliary reinforcing member 15 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 151 to further enhance the bending resistance of the structure at this position, which can not only ensure the structural strength of the longitudinal beam 11, but also be compatible with the existing swing arm structure.
[0067] Further, the edge of the upper beam plate 11a is welded to the edge of the auxiliary reinforcing member 15, and the top wall of the upper beam plate 11a is further provided with a plurality of upper plug welding holes 114 distributed at intervals, and the upper beam plate 11a is further welded to the auxiliary reinforcing member 15 through the plurality of upper plug welding holes 114. In addition to being welded along the edge of the auxiliary reinforcing member 15, the upper beam plate 11a and the auxiliary reinforcing member 15 can also be welded through the upper plug welding holes 114, further increasing the bending resistance of the structure at this position.
[0068] Further, the bottom wall of the lower beam plate 11b is provided with a second reinforcing rib 115 near the swing arm through hole 113. For further strengthening the bending resistance of the structure of the longitudinal beam 11 near the swing arm through hole 113.
[0069] In some embodiments, the top wall of the upper beam plate 11a is formed with a deformation guide groove 116 near the position of the support tube 14. As shown in Figure 4 The deformation guide groove 116 is used to guide the downward deformation of the longitudinal beam 11 at this position, reducing the rearward intrusion amount of the range extender, steering column, etc. when a collision occurs.
[0070] In some embodiments, the end of the upper beam plate 11a away from the subframe body 2 is provided with a pedestrian protection cross beam upper hole 117, and the end of the lower beam plate 11b away from the subframe body 2 is provided with a pedestrian protection cross beam lower hole 118, and the pedestrian protection cross beam upper hole 117 and the pedestrian protection cross beam lower hole 118 are used together to install a pedestrian protection cross beam. As shown in Figure 3 The two pedestrian protection cross beam upper holes 117 and the two pedestrian protection cross beam lower holes 118 are used together to install a pedestrian protection cross beam.
[0071] In some embodiments, the swing arm front mounting point of the subframe body 2 is welded with a swing arm reinforcing member 21 with a flange 22, and the bottom wall of the lower beam plate 11b is provided with a plurality of lower plug welding holes 119 distributed at intervals, and the lower beam plate 11b is welded to the flange 22 of the swing arm reinforcing member 21 through the plurality of lower plug welding holes 119.
[0072] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a swing arm reinforcement 21 with a flange 22 is welded to the front mounting point of the swing arm on the subframe body 2. The lower beam plate 11b is welded to the flange 22 of the swing arm reinforcement 21 through multiple lower weld holes 119. In addition to being welded to the subframe body 2 along its contour, the swing arm reinforcement 21 is also reinforced by welding to the lower beam plate 11b through multiple lower weld holes 119. This not only increases the deformation resistance of the swing arm reinforcement 21 but also prevents the swing arm mounting point from failing prematurely in the event of a collision.
[0073] In some embodiments, the subframe body 2 is provided with head 23 on both sides, the upper beam plate 11a is raised and welded to the head 23 at one end near the subframe body 2, and the side wall edge of the upper beam plate 11a and the side wall edge of the lower beam plate 11b are respectively welded to the subframe body 2.
[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, the upper beam plate 11a of the longitudinal beam is raised at the rear end and welded to the head 23 of the subframe body 2. The side edge 11c of the upper beam plate 11a is welded to the subframe body 2. By raising the upper beam plate 11a, the welding area between the longitudinal beam 11 and the subframe body 2 is increased, thereby increasing the connection span between the upper beam plate 11a and the subframe body 2, improving the anti-rollover capability of the longitudinal beam 11, preventing the longitudinal beam 11 from failing in the early stage of a collision, and at the same time, controlling the lateral dimension of the longitudinal beam 11, reducing the lateral width of the longitudinal beam 11 cross-section, and ensuring sufficient clearance between the pair of longitudinal beams 11 and the range extender when configuring a range-extended vehicle.
[0075] Furthermore, in related technologies, the longitudinal beams are connected to the subframe body by bolts, and the stress-bearing area is only the area of the bolt connection point. When a 25% offset collision occurs, the longitudinal beam may bend due to the bolt root breaking, or even separate from the subframe body. In this embodiment, the longitudinal beam 11 is welded to the subframe body 2 through the side wall edges of the upper beam plate 11a and the lower beam plate 11b, respectively, which can increase the stress-bearing area. Moreover, the side wall edge of the lower beam plate 11b maintains a certain distance from the lower plug weld hole 119, which increases the bending resistance of the lower beam plate 11b.
[0076] In some embodiments, the reinforcement component 1 further includes a pair of luggage rack brackets 16 and a compressor bracket 17. The pair of luggage rack brackets 16 are symmetrically and spaced apart and welded between the front end of the subframe body 2 and the front crossbeam 12 for mounting luggage racks. The compressor bracket 17 is welded between the pair of luggage rack brackets 16 and close to the subframe body 2 for mounting air conditioning compressors.
[0077] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, in order to meet the installation requirements of the cabin layout of the pure electric vehicle type, the reinforcing assembly 1 further comprises a pair of trunk supports 16 and a compressor support 17 arranged between the front end of the subframe body 2 and the front cross beam 12, for mounting parts such as a trunk and an air conditioner compressor. The third reinforcing rib 171 is arranged on the compressor support 17 to improve the structural strength and rigidity of the compressor support 17. The pair of trunk supports 16 and the compressor support 17 can not only strengthen the trunk bottom structure, eliminate resonance, and increase the carrying capacity, but also participate in the transmission of collision load, further improving the crash performance. Thus, the main body structure common to the range extending vehicle type and the pure electric vehicle type is realized, the number of molds is reduced, and the development cost is saved.
[0078] In addition, the application further provides a vehicle comprising the anti-bias collision subframe as described above. The vehicle can be any one of a normal vehicle type, a range extending vehicle type, a pure electric vehicle type, or a range extending electric vehicle type.
