Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chassis welding technology, specifically to a monolithic welded chassis for a load-bearing truck and its welding method. Background Technology
[0002] In chassis design, a closed cavity is typically used to provide sufficient strength and rigidity. Currently, equipment faces the challenge of becoming larger and lighter. The challenge lies in how to withstand greater loads within the same cavity cross-section, or how to reduce the weight of structural components under the same load. Common practices include: 1. Using higher-grade steel to reduce structural weight. 2. Reinforcing structural components at areas of high local stress with plates to reduce stress values. A more ideal design approach is to divide a single cavity into multiple smaller cavities, which effectively increases load-bearing capacity and reduces structural component weight.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as the Chinese patent CN113263278A entitled "A Frame Welding Method and Frame," the following steps are included: welding a base plate, an inner ring upright plate, and a middle stiffening plate to form a first welding assembly; welding a cover plate to the first welding assembly to form a second welding assembly; welding the outer upright plates one by one to the second welding assembly to form a third welding assembly; and welding the outer sealing plate to the third welding assembly to form a multi-cavity welded frame; wherein the middle stiffening plate consists of multiple transverse stiffening ribs and multiple longitudinal stiffening ribs. This method solves the problems of the original welding method, where personnel are in a confined space, making movement difficult, and the toxic and harmful gases produced during welding cannot dissipate, easily leading to risks of poisoning and suffocation. Furthermore, the limited welding space and insufficient lighting make it difficult to control welding quality.
[0004] However, in the existing technology, the existing truck frames are relatively simple in welding methods and have insufficient structural design, resulting in insufficient stability of the frame after welding. Welds are prone to detachment, causing the frame to become loose and affecting normal safe use.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a monolithic welded frame for load-bearing trucks and its welding method to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a load-bearing truck integral welded frame and its welding method, so as to solve the problem that the truck frame mentioned in the background art is not stable enough after welding due to the simple welding method and insufficient structural design, and the weld joints are prone to detachment, resulting in a loose frame that affects normal and safe use.

Then, the inner channel steel is embedded between the two car body beams and welded together to form an overall frame.
[0017] S2. Then, push the diamond frame between the main beams of the car body, and simultaneously weld one side of the diamond frame into the inner side of the inner channel steel. The other two sides are welded to the inner support strips and inner support plates on the inner side of the main beam of the car body, thereby improving the support strength.
[0018] S3. Then, channel plates are distributed at multiple locations on the outside of the vehicle body beam to form a stable frame.

Channel plates are distributed in multiple positions on the outer side of the vehicle body beams to form a stable frame, ensuring the stable use of the frame. At the same time, the design of channel lightweight steel helps to reduce weight while ensuring stability, improving the vehicle's flexibility and fuel economy. 2. By welding the arc-shaped frame and positioning plate to one end of the vehicle body beam, and symmetrically welding connecting sleeves to the side of the arc-shaped frame to provide connection space for the connecting square tube, a straight energy-absorbing box is welded to one end of the connecting square tube, and the side of the straight energy-absorbing box is connected to the front buffer plate through multiple symmetrically distributed first buffer springs, which can form a buffer.
