Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a ladder-structured three-level stiffness non-equal-length automobile suspension steel leaf spring and a design method thereof, belonging to the technical field of steel leaf springs. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of customers' requirements for product comfort and the need for high-quality development, the inherent frequency deviation of automobile suspension leaf springs is required to be at a lower level. Existing automobile suspension leaf springs usually adopt single-stage or two-stage stiffness, which has the following defects:

[0003] 1. Due to structural reasons, the existing single-stage or two-stage stiffness leaf springs have a no-load bias frequency of 5.8-6.8Hz for single-stage stiffness leaf springs and a full-load bias frequency of 2.3-2.8Hz; the two-stage stiffness leaf springs have a no-load bias frequency of 4.0-5.0Hz and a full-load bias frequency of 2.3-2.8Hz. The no-load bias frequency is relatively high and much higher than the full-load bias frequency, and it is impossible to achieve the ideal state where the no-load bias frequency is equal to the full-load bias frequency, resulting in poor comfort when the car is unloaded;

[0004] 2. The existing single-stage or two-stage leaf springs have large friction between the leaves due to the close fit between the leaves. The dynamic stiffness of the leaf spring is relatively large, especially when the vibration is low-amplitude and high-frequency, the dynamic stiffness can reach 3-5 times the static stiffness, resulting in a sharp reduction in the vibration reduction effect of the leaf spring;

[0005] 3. In the process of increasing load from no-load to full-load, the stiffness of the existing two-stage stiffness leaf spring suddenly changes too much before and after the auxiliary spring contacts, and the inherent bias frequency increases from 2.5-3.0Hz to 6.0-6.5Hz. The sudden increase in the inherent bias frequency causes vehicle shaking and poor comfort. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to provide a stepped structure three-stage stiffness unequal length automobile suspension leaf spring and a design method thereof, which solves the problem that the existing single-stage or two-stage stiffness automobile suspension leaf spring has a much higher no-load frequency deviation than a full-load frequency deviation, and cannot achieve the ideal state where the no-load frequency deviation is equivalent to the full-load frequency deviation, so that the inherent frequency deviation of the leaf spring is always within a reasonable range in the process from no-load to full-load, thereby ensuring the consistent comfort of the vehicle when it is empty and fully loaded.

The lower part of the middle part of the primary leaf spring contacts the middle part of the secondary leaf spring, and the lower part of the middle part of the secondary leaf spring contacts the middle part of the tertiary leaf spring. The remaining parts of the leaf springs of each level do not contact each other, so as to eliminate the friction between the leaf spring leaves, reduce the dynamic stiffness and further reduce the inherent frequency deviation.
