In this way, since the width of the suspension bracket 2 is smaller than the width of the cross beam body 1, the side wall of the suspension bracket 2 away from the first opening 211 is spaced apart from the side wall of the cross beam body 1 away from the first opening 211, which is equivalent to reducing the volume of the second cavity at the connection between the suspension bracket 2 and the cross beam body 1, and is conducive to further improving the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the cross beam body.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the suspension bracket 2 includes a suspension upper bracket 22 and a suspension lower bracket 23, part of the suspension upper bracket 22 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the cross beam upper plate 11, the cross beam lower plate 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121, the suspension lower bracket 23 is arranged in the mounting groove 121 and fixedly connected with the mounting groove 121, wherein part of the suspension lower bracket 23 protrudes from the cross beam lower plate 12 along the second direction Y, and the side wall of the suspension lower bracket 23 is further fixedly coupled with the side wall of the suspension upper bracket 22 in an up-down manner to jointly form the first cavity 21.

In this way, when the vehicle collides, assuming that the collision force propagates from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the plurality of induction recesses 313 of the longitudinal beam body 31 can collapse and absorb energy, thereby reducing the damage caused by the collision to the vehicle and the passengers. It should be noted that in the direction from the first end 311 to the second end 312, the cross section of the front half of the longitudinal beam body 31 is smaller than the cross section of the rear half of the longitudinal beam body 31, so as to ensure that the front half of the longitudinal beam body 31 deforms greatly when the vehicle collides, and the rear half of the longitudinal beam body 31 deforms less or does not deform at all, thereby improving the protection capability for passengers.

In addition, the bushing 33 is closer to the passenger compartment of the vehicle body than the connecting pipe 32. In this way, the bushing 33 is beneficial to reduce the vibration and impact on the passenger compartment, thereby improving the driving experience of the passengers.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting pipe 32 is fixedly installed in the first body mounting hole 314, and the bushing 33 is arranged in the second body mounting hole 315. In this way, the connecting pipe 32 and the bushing 33 can divide the third cavity in the longitudinal beam body 31, thereby improving the stability and rigidity of the longitudinal beam body 31, and further improving the overall rigidity and strength of the subframe assembly 100.

[0076] Specifically, the longitudinal beam upper plate 317 is designed as a large plane as a whole, the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 is configured as a mounting boss, the center of the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 is provided with a first assembly hole, further, the longitudinal beam lower plate 318 is provided with a second steering gear mounting portion 3181 opposite to the first steering gear mounting portion 3171, and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181 is provided with a second assembly hole opposite to the first assembly hole 111. In this way, the steering gear can be fixedly connected with the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181 in a bolt-nut cooperation manner. For example, the bolt passes through the mounting portion of the steering gear, then passes through the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole in sequence, and then the bolt is tightened by the nut to realize the fixed connection between the steering gear and the longitudinal beam body 31, thereby further realizing the integration of the longitudinal beam body 31 installation function.

[0077] Further, the longitudinal beam assembly 3 further comprises a support pipe arranged in the third cavity and fixedly connected between the first steering gear mounting portion 3171 and the second steering gear mounting portion 3181. It can be understood that the through hole of the support pipe is opposite to the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole, so that the bolt can pass through the support pipe, and the support pipe can further divide the third cavity, thereby further improving the stability and rigidity of the longitudinal beam body 31, and further improving the overall rigidity and strength of the subframe assembly 100.

In this way, the multi-cavity structure of the cross beam body 1 and the suspension bracket 2 is realized. When the cross beam body 1 is subjected to an external force, the two cavities formed by the suspension bracket 2 and the cross beam body 1 can improve the anti-deformation ability of the cross beam body 1 at the suspension bracket 2, which is beneficial to improve the dynamic stiffness of the suspension mounting point of the cross beam body 1, thereby improving the overall dynamic stiffness of the subframe, and further improving the vibration isolation performance and NVH performance of the subframe.
