Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle chassis. The present invention also relates to a vehicle provided with the vehicle chassis. Background Art
[0002] As the penetration rate of new energy vehicles increases, pure electric and hybrid vehicles equipped with battery packs are increasingly favored by car buyers. Taking pure electric vehicles as an example, the battery pack is generally placed under the passenger compartment. In order to provide sufficient battery life, not only is the weight of the vehicle body required to be reduced as much as possible, but a larger battery pack is also required.
[0003] However, while improving the vehicle's endurance, the safety of the battery pack in the event of a collision has also received increasing attention. In the prior art, the battery pack located below the passenger compartment generally relies on the sill beams on both sides of the vehicle body to resist the impact of the entire vehicle, especially the impact of a side collision. However, due to the structural strength of the sill beams themselves, the battery pack's ability to cope with side collisions is affected, which is not conducive to improving the battery pack's collision safety.

[0015] In the left-right direction of the whole vehicle, the connecting beams on each side are located on the side of the front sub-frame longitudinal beam and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam on the same side close to the outside of the vehicle.
[0016] Furthermore, a front crossbeam is provided at the rear side of the front subframe, the front crossbeam has a crossbeam body, and both left and right ends of the crossbeam body are connected with an extension section;
[0017] The overhanging section extends toward one side outside the vehicle along the left-right direction of the whole vehicle, and the front sub-frame longitudinal beams on both sides are connected to the cross beam body, and the connecting beams on both sides are respectively connected to the overhanging section on the corresponding side, and are connected to each of the front sub-frame longitudinal beams through the front cross beam.
[0018] Furthermore, the rear end of the connecting beam on each side is provided with an inclined connecting section, and the connecting beam on each side is connected to the front end of the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam on the same side through the connecting section, and the distance between the connecting sections on both sides is gradually reduced from front to rear in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle;

[0022] Furthermore, in the left-right direction of the vehicle, a side of the connecting beam on each side facing outward from the vehicle is connected to a side step mounting plate, the side step mounting plate extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a side step mounting surface is provided on the top of the side step mounting plate.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0024] The vehicle chassis described in the present invention, through the connection beams on both sides of the battery pack and the arrangement of the internal cross beams in the battery pack, when the vehicle has a side collision, the side connection beams can collapse to absorb energy and can transmit and disperse the collision force. At the same time, the internal cross beams inside the battery pack can also provide support to protect the modules in the battery pack from being stressed. This can increase the ability of the battery pack to cope with side collisions, increase the safety of the battery pack when the vehicle has a side collision, and help to improve the safety quality of the entire vehicle.
[0025] In addition, the left and right sides of the battery pack are connected to the bottom of the connecting beam through a connecting bracket, which can facilitate the connection and setting of the battery pack. The internal crossbeam overlaps with the projection of the connecting bracket, which can make the internal crossbeam have a better supporting effect while ensuring the layout strength of the side connecting bracket, which is conducive to increasing the reliability of the battery pack assembly. The connecting bracket is connected to the side frame, and the internal crossbeam is located between the side frames on both sides. The side frame, the connecting bracket and the internal crossbeam are made of extruded aluminum profiles, which can facilitate the setting of the connecting bracket on the battery pack, and at the same time can ensure the structural strength of the side frame, the connecting bracket and the internal crossbeam, and ensure the overall rigidity of the battery pack.
[0026] The connecting beams on both sides are connected between the front and rear subframes, and the front subframe, the rear subframe and the connecting beams on both sides together define a battery pack installation space, which can have the characteristics of a load-bearing body structure and can take advantage of the smaller weight of the load-bearing body to achieve lightweight body and improve the endurance of the whole vehicle. At the same time, with the help of the connection setting of the connecting beams on both sides, a battery pack ring frame structure is formed, and the battery pack can also move with the ring frame structure during a collision, thereby reducing the collision impact on the battery pack and increasing the collision safety of the battery pack.
[0027] Secondly, the connection beams on each side are located on the same side of the front subframe longitudinal beam and the side of the rear subframe longitudinal beam close to the outside of the vehicle, which helps to achieve the change of the Y-direction cross section of the front and rear parts of the load-bearing body, and meets the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in the load-bearing body. The front cross beam is arranged on the rear side of the front subframe, and the connection beam is connected to each front subframe longitudinal beam through the front cross beam, which is conducive to the connection between the connection beam and the front subframe, and can facilitate the change of the Y-direction cross section of the front part of the body.
[0028] The rear end of each side connecting beam is provided with an inclined connecting section, which is also conducive to the connection with the longitudinal beam of the rear subframe, and the distance between the connecting sections on both sides is set to gradually decrease from front to rear, which is conducive to realizing the Y-direction cross-sectional change of the rear part of the load-bearing body, so as to meet the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in the load-bearing body. The setting of the rear cross beam can not only increase the structural strength and rigidity of the front part of the rear subframe, and provide an installation point for the rear end of the battery pack, but also form a battery pack installation space between the front cross beam, the rear cross beam and the connecting beams on both sides, which is also conducive to making the formed annular frame structure a rigid embracing structure, thereby better improving the collision safety of the battery pack.
[0029] In addition, the one-piece forming of the connecting beam can facilitate the preparation of the connecting beam and ensure the structural strength of the connecting beam itself. The length of the connecting beams on both sides is adjustable, and a fixed structure is provided for fixing the length of the connecting beam, which can help meet the wheelbase changes between different models, making the front and rear subframes a common part, which helps to achieve platform design and reduce the research and development costs of the whole vehicle.
[0030] By connecting the side step mounting plate to the outside of the connecting beam, it can serve as a side impact energy absorption structure while serving as the side step assembly basis, playing a role in collision energy absorption, and can achieve dual purposes in one piece, thereby saving the side step mounting frame and facilitating the realization of a lightweight design of the vehicle body.
[0031] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle, wherein the vehicle chassis as described above is provided in the vehicle.
[0032] The vehicle described in the present invention has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned vehicle body chassis, which will not be described in detail here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in combination with specific circumstances.
[0060] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0061] Embodiment 1
[0062] The present embodiment relates to a vehicle chassis, which is applied to a new energy vehicle model with a battery pack, preferably a pure electric vehicle model, and the vehicle chassis can increase the battery pack's ability to cope with side collisions, thereby increasing the safety of the battery pack during a side collision of the vehicle.
[0063] In terms of overall structure, combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the vehicle chassis of this embodiment has connecting beams 1 arranged on the left and right sides, and a battery pack 2 located between the connecting beams 1 on both sides.
[0064] The connecting beams 1 on both sides extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and are respectively arranged below the sill beam 3 on the same side of the vehicle body. The left and right sides of the battery pack 2 are respectively connected to the connecting beams 1 on both sides, and an internal cross beam 202 extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle is arranged inside the battery pack 2, and the projections of the internal cross beam 202 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides in the left-right direction of the vehicle at least partially overlap.
[0065] At this time, as set above, through the connection beams 1 on both sides of the battery pack 2, and the internal cross beams 202 in the battery pack 2, when the vehicle has a side collision, the side connection beams 1 can collapse to absorb energy and can transmit and disperse the collision force. At the same time, the internal cross beams 202 inside the battery pack 2 can also provide support to protect the modules in the battery pack 2 from being stressed. Therefore, this embodiment can increase the ability of the battery pack 2 to cope with side collisions, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the side collision safety of the battery pack 2.
[0066] Based on the above overall introduction, specifically, Figures 2 to 5 As shown in , as a preferred implementation form, the internal cross beams 202 located in the battery pack 2 can be set to be multiple and spaced apart. At the same time, this embodiment also provides connecting brackets 201 on the left and right sides of the battery pack 2, and each side connecting bracket 201 is connected to the bottom of the connecting beam 1 on the same side to achieve connection between the side of the battery pack 2 and the connecting beam 1. At the same time, the internal cross beams 202 in the battery pack 2 also at least partially overlap with the projections of the connecting brackets 201 on both sides in the left and right directions of the whole vehicle.
[0067] It is understandable that by arranging the connection brackets 201 on both sides of the battery pack 2 and connecting the connection brackets 201 on each side to the bottom of the connection beam 1 through the connection piece, it is possible to facilitate the connection between the battery pack 2 and the connection beam 1. By making the internal cross beam 202 in the battery pack 2 overlap with the projection of the connection bracket 201 in the left and right direction of the vehicle, the internal cross beam 202 can be provided with a better support function while ensuring the arrangement strength of the side connection brackets 201, thereby facilitating the reliability of the assembly of the battery pack 2.
[0068] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, in specific implementation, there are side frames 203 on both sides of the battery pack 2, and the connecting brackets 201 located on the left and right sides of the battery pack 2 are fixedly connected to the side frames 203 on the corresponding sides. At the same time, the internal cross beam 202 is connected between the side frames 203 on both sides, and preferably, the side frames 203, the connecting brackets 201 and the internal cross beam 202 can also be made of extruded aluminum profiles.
[0069] Therefore, it can be understood that the connecting brackets 201 on each side are connected to the side frames 203 on the same side, and the internal cross beam 202 is located between the side frames 203 on both sides. At the same time, the side frames 203, the connecting brackets 201 and the internal cross beam 202 are made of extruded aluminum profiles, which not only facilitates the arrangement of the connecting brackets 201 on the battery pack 2, but also ensures the structural strength of the side frames 203, the connecting brackets 201 and the internal cross beam 202, which helps to ensure the overall rigidity of the battery pack 2.
[0070] It should be noted that when the side frame 203 and the connecting bracket 201 are both made of extruded aluminum profiles, preferably, the connecting bracket 201 and the side frame 203 can also be integrally formed. In this way, the preparation of the connecting bracket 201 and the side frame 203 can be facilitated, and the structural strength of the connecting bracket 201 and the side frame 203 can also be ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of the battery pack 2 after assembly.
[0071] In addition, it should be noted that, in addition to the side frames 203 on the left and right sides, similar frame structures are also provided at the front and rear ends of the battery pack 2, and the front and rear end frame structures can generally also be made of extruded aluminum profiles. Figure 5 As shown, the side frame 203 may also be configured to have a triangular cross-section, for example, so as to utilize the high strength of the triangular structure to better increase the strength of the side frame 203 .
[0072] In addition to making the side frame 203, the connecting bracket 201 and the internal cross beam 202 use extruded aluminum profiles, it should be noted that, of course, according to design requirements during specific implementation, this embodiment makes part of the side frame 203, the connecting bracket 201 and the internal cross beam 202 use extruded aluminum profiles, which is also possible.
[0073] In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to connecting the internal cross beam 202 and the connecting bracket 201 through the side frame 203, in the specific implementation, the end of the internal cross beam 202 passes through the side frame 203 and is directly connected to the connecting bracket 201. This is also feasible as long as it can ensure that the projections between the internal cross beam 202 and the connecting brackets 201 on both sides at least partially overlap.
[0074] In this embodiment, based on the setting of the connecting brackets 201 on the left and right sides of the battery pack 2, during the specific implementation, the connecting brackets 201 on each side can generally be connected to the bottom of the connecting beam 1 on the same side through a connecting piece to realize the assembly of the battery pack 2, and the above-mentioned connecting piece can be connected to the threaded sleeve set in the connecting beam 1.
[0075] At this time, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned connecting member can be, for example, Figure 6 The first connecting member 200 and Figure 7 The second connecting member 400 is formed in the connecting beam 1, and accordingly, the threaded sleeve corresponding to the first connecting member 200 and arranged in the connecting beam 1 can be referred to as the first threaded sleeve 100, and the threaded sleeve corresponding to the second connecting member 400 and arranged in the connecting beam 1 can be referred to as the second threaded sleeve 300. Moreover, the top of the second threaded sleeve 300 is also arranged to extend out of the connecting beam 1 and to correspond to the battery pack mounting structure arranged in the door sill beam 3.
[0076] Through the cooperation of the above-mentioned first connecting member 200 and the first threaded sleeve 100, this embodiment can connect the battery pack 2 and the connecting beam 1 together. At the same time, through the above-mentioned second connecting member 400 passing through the second threaded sleeve 300 and connected to the battery pack installation structure in the threshold beam 3, this embodiment can connect the battery pack 2, the connecting beam 1 and the threshold beam 3 together.
[0077] In this way, the second connecting member 400 can connect the battery pack 2, the connecting beam 1 and the door sill beam 3 together. This embodiment can simultaneously realize the installation of the battery pack 2 while simultaneously realizing the installation of the whole body formed by the connecting beams 1 on both sides and the battery pack 2 in the vehicle body, thereby realizing the integrated design of the partial installation structure of the battery pack 2. With this integrated design, it is not necessary to separately set the connection structure between the connecting beam 1 and the vehicle body on both sides of the battery pack 2, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the vehicle installation structure.
[0078] In this embodiment, it should be pointed out that, as a preferred implementation form, the second connecting member 400 connecting the battery pack 2, the connecting beam 1 and the threshold beam 3 can generally be distributed at the four front and rear corners close to the battery pack 2, that is, the second connecting member 400 on each side is arranged at Figure 2 The position indicated by the reference numeral m shown in FIG. As for the first connecting member 200 that only connects the battery pack 2 and the connecting beam 1 together, it can be provided as a plurality of spaced distributions, and can be arranged, for example, at Figure 2 The position indicated by the label n.
[0079] In addition, in the specific implementation, the first threaded tube 100 or the second threaded sleeve 300 can be made of an existing tube structure with a connecting thread formed on the inner wall, and the first connecting member 200 and the second connecting member 400 can be made of bolts of appropriate length. The battery pack mounting structure provided in the door sill beam 3 can be made of a projection welding nut or a similar structure to achieve a threaded connection with the second connecting member 400.
[0080] In this embodiment, as a feasible implementation form, the front and rear ends of the connecting beams 1 on each side can be connected to the sill beam 3 on the same side, and the connection can be made by welding, screwing or riveting. In this case, the front and rear ends of the connecting beam 1 are connected to the sill beam 3, so that the connecting beams 1 on both sides can be arranged in the vehicle body, and the reliability of the connection beams 1 in the vehicle body can be ensured.
[0081] In addition to connecting the two ends of the connecting beam 1 on each side to the threshold beam 3 on the same side, as another feasible implementation form, Figure 2 , and combined with Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the vehicle chassis of this embodiment also has a front subframe 4 located at the front of the vehicle and a rear subframe 5 located at the rear of the vehicle, and the connecting beams 1 on both sides are also connected between the front subframe 4 and the rear subframe 5 .
[0082] Among them, the above-mentioned front subframe 4 is arranged below the front engine compartment in the vehicle body, and the rear subframe 5 is arranged below the rear floor in the vehicle body. At the same time, the above-mentioned front subframe 4, rear subframe 5 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides also form a battery pack installation space Q for accommodating the above-mentioned battery pack 2.
[0083] At this time, based on the above setting of the two side connecting beams 1 between the front and rear subframes, it should be noted that the existing traditional car body mainly includes a load-bearing body and a non-load-bearing body, and the difference between the two lies mainly in the structure, weight and ride comfort.
[0084] Among them, the non-load-bearing body is generally composed of two parts: the frame beam and the body. The frame is responsible for installing the engine, gearbox, suspension and other components, and the body is only responsible for providing a closed environment required for driving and riding, and does not play a role in bearing capacity. At the same time, the non-load-bearing body is heavy, has a high center of gravity, relatively poor handling, and is less comfortable when driving on paved roads. However, because the frame beam can provide good rigidity, the chassis is strong, has good anti-bumping performance, has good stability and safety, and is also easy to modify.
[0085] The monocoque has no rigid frame, and all the parts in the vehicle are directly mounted on the body. The body as a whole is a load-bearing structure that bears various loads. At the same time, the monocoque is light, has a low center of gravity, good handling, and is easy to assemble. It can also provide better comfort when driving on paved roads. However, the monocoque has weak torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity, and because it has no rigid frame, it usually only strengthens the front, side, rear, and floor panels, and its overall safety is relatively poor.
[0086] Therefore, for new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, in order to fully utilize the advantages of the load-bearing body and improve the shortcomings of the load-bearing body, this embodiment creatively connects the two side connecting beams 1 between the front and rear subframes in the vehicle chassis structure, thereby making the vehicle chassis of this embodiment a chassis structure developed based on the load-bearing body.
[0087] It is understandable that by adopting a load-bearing body structure with front and rear subframes, this embodiment can utilize the characteristics of the load-bearing body with a small weight to achieve lightweight body, thereby improving the endurance of the whole vehicle. At the same time, by setting the connecting beams 1 on both sides, the front and rear subframes are connected into one, and the front subframe 4, the rear subframe 5 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides jointly define the battery pack installation space Q, which can also form a battery pack annular frame structure with the help of the connection setting of the connecting beams 1, so that the battery pack 2 can move with the annular frame structure when the vehicle collides, thereby reducing the collision impact on the battery pack 2, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the collision safety of the battery pack 2.
[0088] In this embodiment, the front sub-frame 4 has front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 disposed on the left and right sides, and the rear sub-frame 5 has rear sub-frame longitudinal beams 501 disposed on the left and right sides. In addition, as a preferred implementation form, in the left-right direction of the whole vehicle, the connecting beams 1 on each side are also located on the side of the front sub-frame longitudinal beam 401 and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501 on the same side close to the outside of the vehicle.
[0089] At this time, make the connecting beams 1 on each side Figure 2 as well as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the front sub-frame longitudinal beam 401 and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501 are located on the same side close to the outside of the vehicle. This embodiment helps to achieve the Y-direction cross-sectional change of the front and rear parts of the load-bearing body, and can meet the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in the load-bearing body.
[0090] In addition, in this embodiment, a front cross beam 404 is also provided at the rear of the front sub-frame 4, and the front ends of the connecting beams 1 on both sides are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the front cross beam 404, and the rear ends of the connecting beams 1 on both sides are respectively connected to the front ends of the rear sub-frame longitudinal beams 501 on both sides. In this way, the front cross beam 404, the rear sub-frame 5, and the connecting beams 1 on both sides jointly define a battery pack installation space Q for installing the battery pack 2.
[0091] It should be pointed out that, as a preferred implementation form, the front cross beam 404 can be used as a part of the front sub-frame 4, and specifically as a front sub-frame rear cross beam located at the rear end of the front sub-frame 4. However, in addition to being the front sub-frame rear cross beam, the front cross beam 404 of this embodiment can also be connected between the front ends of the connecting beams 1 on both sides, and be independent of the beam structure provided on the front sub-frame 4. In this case, while the front cross beam 404 is integrated with the connecting beams 1 on both sides to form an integrated frame structure, it is also connected to the front sub-frame 4 to achieve the connection between the connecting beams 1 on both sides and the front sub-frame 4.
[0092] Taking the front cross beam 404 as the rear cross beam of the front subframe as an example, in specific implementation, the front subframe 4 of this embodiment can refer to the front subframe structure of the existing load-bearing body, and generally speaking, Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the front sub-frame 4 has front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 arranged on the left and right sides, a front sub-frame front cross beam 402 and a front sub-frame middle cross beam 403 are connected between the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on both sides, and the rear ends of the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on both sides are connected to a front cross beam 404 which is a front sub-frame rear cross beam.
[0093] It should be noted that when the front cross beam 404 is independently provided from the front sub-frame 4, the connection between the front cross beam 404 and the front sub-frame 4 is generally connected to the rear ends of the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on both sides. Moreover, when the front cross beam 404 is independently provided from the front sub-frame 4, the front sub-frame rear cross beam in the front sub-frame 4 can be selectively provided as required.
[0094] Continue as Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a front sub-frame anti-collision beam 405 connected to the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on both sides is also provided at the front end of the front sub-frame 4, and the front sub-frame anti-collision beam 405 is specifically connected to the front ends of the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on each side through the front sub-frame energy absorption box 406.
[0095] In addition, as a preferred implementation form, in the front sub-frame 4 of this embodiment, the front cross beam 404 also has a cross beam body 404a located in the middle, and an extension section 404b connected to the left and right ends of the cross beam body 404a. The rear end of each side front sub-frame longitudinal beam 401 is connected to the cross beam body 404a, and the extension section 404b at each end extends to the outside of the vehicle along the left and right direction of the whole vehicle, and the front end of each side connecting beam 1 is also specifically connected to the extension section 404b on the same side, so as to achieve connection with each front sub-frame longitudinal beam 401 through the front cross beam 404.
[0096] It can be understood that, by providing the extension section 404a in the front cross beam 404, it can facilitate the connection with the connecting beams 1 on both sides. Figure 8 By connecting the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 on the left and right sides of the front sub-frame 4 with the cross beam body 404a in the front cross beam 404, it is also helpful to achieve the change of the Y-direction (left-right direction of the whole vehicle) cross section of the front part of the load-bearing body, that is, the connecting beams 1 on each side and the front sub-frame longitudinal beams 401 are not in a straight line, but are bent at the connecting position between the two, thereby reducing the Y-direction cross section size of the body at the front sub-frame 4.
[0097] The above-mentioned change in the Y-direction cross-section of the front part of the vehicle body is obviously fundamentally different from the Y-direction cross-section of the frame beam in the non-load-bearing body that is basically consistent front and rear. In addition, the present embodiment meets the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in the load-bearing body through the size change of the above-mentioned Y-direction cross-section of the front part of the vehicle body.
[0098] In this embodiment, still combined with Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment, the rear end of each side connecting beam 1 is provided with an inclined connecting section 1a, and each side connecting section 1a is connected to the front end of the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501 on the same side through the connecting section 1a, and the distance between the connecting sections 1a on both sides is gradually reduced from front to rear in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0099] At this time, by setting an inclined connecting section 1a at the rear end of each side connecting beam 1, it can also facilitate the connection between the connecting beam 1 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 501, and make the distance between the connecting sections 1a on both sides gradually decrease from front to rear. Similar to the design of the above-mentioned overhanging section 404b, it can also facilitate the realization of the Y-direction cross-sectional change of the rear part of the load-bearing body, so as to not only meet the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in the load-bearing body, but also become one of the main differences from the non-load-bearing body.
[0100] In this embodiment, it is worth noting that, in a specific implementation, the connecting beams 1 on both sides can be, for example, an integrally formed beam structure, and specifically an integral closed structure, and its cross section can be as follows: Fig.11 As shown in . Moreover, at this time, the connecting beam 1 can also be integrally formed with the front cross beam 404 in the front and rear sub-frames and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501. At this time, it can be understood that by using a closed cross section, it can ensure the structural strength of the connecting beam 1 itself by virtue of the high strength of the cavity structure, and by integrally forming the connecting beam 1 with the front and rear sub-frames, the front sub-frame 4, the connecting beam 1 and the rear sub-frame 5 after being connected as one can have better structural strength and rigidity.
[0101] Of course, in addition to being an integrated structure, the connecting beam 1 of this embodiment can also adopt other structures, and for example, it can adopt a steel profile welding structure, an aluminum alloy profile extrusion structure, etc. In addition, in addition to being integrally connected with the front cross beam 404 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 501, in specific implementation, it is also possible to set the connecting beam 1 in a detachable manner. In this case, the above-mentioned detachable manner can generally adopt a screw connection structure, and combined with Fig.15 As shown, the connection position can be located at B near the four corners, and the connection direction can be X direction (front and rear direction of the whole vehicle) or Y direction, and the connection method can be plug-in or flat-panel docking.
[0102] Of course, in order to ensure the reliability of force transmission of the connecting beam 1, the above connection direction is preferably the X direction. At the same time, in order to ensure the convenience of operation, the connection method is also preferably flat plate docking. Fig.15 At the positions indicated by the reference numerals B, the connection beams 1 on each side can be arranged by means of a flat plate docking method and a screw connection structure connected along the X direction.
[0103] In this embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 8 as well as Fig.10 As shown, in the specific implementation, the rear subframe 5 can also refer to the rear subframe structure in the existing load-bearing body, and in terms of structure, as a preferred implementation form, in addition to being similar to the existing rear subframe structure, a rear subframe front cross beam 502 and a rear subframe rear cross beam 503 are connected between the rear subframe longitudinal beams 501 on both sides, and further, a rear cross beam 504 is also connected between the position where the rear subframe longitudinal beams 501 on both sides are connected to the connecting beam 1, that is, between the connection position between the rear subframe longitudinal beams 501 on both sides and the connecting section 1a.
[0104] At this time, based on the setting of the rear cross beam 504, the battery pack installation space Q is formed between the rear cross beam 504, the front cross beam 404 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides. Moreover, based on the setting of the front cross beam 404 and the rear cross beam 504, in specific implementation, the battery pack installation points can be respectively provided on the front cross beam 404 and the rear cross beam 504, and at the same time, installation brackets are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the battery pack 2, so that the front end of the battery pack 2 can be installed on the front cross beam 404 via bolts, and the rear end of the battery pack 2 can also be installed on the rear cross beam 504 via bolts, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery pack 2 after being assembled in the vehicle body.
[0105] It can be understood that, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned rear cross beam 504, not only the structural strength and rigidity of the front part of the rear subframe 5 can be increased, and a mounting point can be provided for the rear end of the battery pack, but also, by forming the battery pack mounting space Q between the rear cross beam 504, the front cross beam 404 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides, this embodiment is also conducive to making the formed annular frame structure a rigid embracing structure adapted to the shape of the battery pack, thereby better improving the collision safety of the battery pack.
[0106] In addition, the rear cross beam 504 is arranged between the connection positions of the connecting sections 1a on both sides and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501. By connecting the ends of the rear cross beam 504 to the connection positions between the connecting sections 1a on each side and the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501, it not only helps to ensure the connection strength of the rear cross beam 504, but also helps to better improve the dynamic stiffness of the front position of the rear sub-frame 5.
[0107] In specific implementation, the rear cross beam 504 of this embodiment may also adopt an integrally formed closed structure, so that it has a higher structural strength. In addition, in order to further increase the strength of the rear cross beam 504 and to facilitate the installation of the rear end of the battery pack, the rear cross beam 504 is provided with a plurality of rear cross beams 504, each of which is provided with a plurality of rear cross beams 504. Fig.12 As shown in , the rear cross beam 504 of this embodiment can be designed to be arched downward along the vertical direction of the whole vehicle, and have a straight section 5041 located in the middle, and bent sections 5042 located on the left and right sides. The bent sections 5042 on both sides are inclined upward and are respectively connected to the rear subframe longitudinal beam 501 on the same side.
[0108] Still by Figure 8 and Fig.10As shown, as a preferred implementation form, different from the existing rear sub-frame structure, this embodiment is provided with a rear sub-frame anti-collision beam 505 connected to the rear sub-frame longitudinal beams 501 on both sides at the rear end of the rear sub-frame 5. In this way, it can be understood that by arranging the rear sub-frame anti-collision beam 505 at the rear end of the rear sub-frame 5, on the one hand, it can improve the rear collision force transmission performance of the rear sub-frame 5, and can make the collision force better dispersed to the rear sub-frame longitudinal beams 501 on both sides through the rear sub-frame anti-collision beam 505, so as to be transmitted forward along the rear sub-frame longitudinal beam 501, avoiding single-position force, collision force is difficult to disperse, and deformation is too large. On the other hand, by arranging the above-mentioned rear sub-frame anti-collision beam 505, the rear sub-frame anti-collision beam 505 can also be used as a pedestrian anti-rolling beam at the rear of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety during the reversing process.
[0109] It should be noted that in the specific implementation, Fig.13 As shown, the structure of the rear subframe anti-collision beam 505 can refer to the front subframe anti-collision beam 405 in the front subframe 4, and it can adopt a sheet metal stamping structure, or it can also adopt an aluminum alloy extrusion profile. At the same time, on the basis of setting the rear subframe anti-collision beam 505, preferably, the rear ends of the rear subframe longitudinal beams 501 on both sides can also be connected to the rear subframe energy absorption box 506, and the rear subframe anti-collision beam 505 is specifically connected to the rear subframe energy absorption box 506 on both sides.
[0110] At this time, the rear subframe energy absorption box 506 is the same as the front subframe energy absorption box 406 in the front subframe 4, and both adopt the conventional energy absorption box structure used in the existing vehicle body. And it can be understood that, by connecting the rear subframe rear anti-collision beam 505 with the rear subframe longitudinal beam 501 through the rear subframe energy absorption box 506, it can be crushed and energy absorbed through the rear subframe energy absorption box 506, so as to further improve the rear collision safety of the vehicle.
[0111] In addition, it should be noted that, through the provision of the above-mentioned rear subframe anti-collision beam 505, it can not only cooperate with the front subframe anti-collision beam 405 at the front end, so that the chassis structure of this embodiment can obtain better head-on and rear-end collision safety performance, but also, when the chassis structure of this embodiment is assembled into the whole vehicle, the above-mentioned front subframe anti-collision beam 405 and the rear subframe anti-collision beam 505 can form an upper and lower double anti-collision beam collision force transmission design together with the front and rear anti-collision beams in the upper body frame, thereby providing super strong double protection.
[0112] like Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the side of each side connecting beam 1 facing outward from the vehicle can be further connected to a side step mounting plate 6. The side step mounting plate 6 on each side extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a side step mounting surface 6a is provided on the top of each side step mounting plate 6.
[0113] At this time, by installing the side step panel and the side step decoration on the side step installation surface 6a, a side step can be formed to assist the driver and passengers in getting on and off the vehicle. In addition, by connecting the side step installation plate 6 to the outside of the connecting beam 1, it can be understood that it can be used as a side collision energy absorption structure while serving as a side step assembly basis, thereby achieving dual purposes, saving the side step installation frame, and also facilitating the lightweight design of the vehicle body.
[0114] In the specific implementation, it should be noted that the side step mounting plates 6 on each side can be detachably connected to the connecting beam 1 on the same side through a connecting assembly, for example. In this way, the side step mounting plates 6 on each side can be detachably connected to the connecting beam 1 on the same side through the connecting assembly, which can facilitate the assembly of the side step mounting plates 6 and also facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the side step mounting plates 6 in the later stage.
[0115] Of course, in addition to the above detachable setting, in specific implementation, this embodiment can also make the side step mounting plate 6 on each side integrally formed with the same-side connecting beam 1. In this way, the side step mounting plate 6 and the connecting beam 1 are integrally formed, which can reduce the preparation cost of the connecting beam 1 and the side step mounting plate 6, and can also better ensure the structural strength of the connecting beam 1 and the side step mounting plate 6, so as to help improve the overall rigidity of the chassis structure.
[0116] As for the detachable side step mounting plate 6, specifically, it can be, for example, a steel profile or an aluminum alloy profile, and the connection assembly can generally adopt a screw connection structure to fix the side step mounting plate 6 to the connecting beam 1. As for the side step mounting plate 6 and the connecting beam 1 being integrally formed, for example, the side step mounting plate 6 and the connecting beam 1 can both be made of a steel profile or an aluminum alloy profile, or the side step mounting plate 6 and the connecting beam 1 can also be made of a steel roll-pressed structure.
[0117] like Fig.16 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is an exemplary structure when both the side step mounting plate 6 and the connecting beam 1 are made of aluminum alloy profiles. In this structural form, in order to increase the structural strength of the connecting beam 1 and the side step mounting plate 6, transverse reinforcing ribs 1b and vertical reinforcing ribs 6c can be respectively provided in the two. At the same time, in order to enhance the collision energy absorption effect of the side step mounting plate 6 when the vehicle is hit from the side, a collapsing guide rib 6b extending in a bent shape can also be provided at the bottom of the side step mounting plate 6.
[0118] At this time, vertical reinforcing ribs 6c and crush guiding ribs 6b are adopted for the reinforcing ribs at the side step mounting plate 6. While appropriately increasing the structural strength at the position of the side step mounting plate 6, it also enables the side step mounting plate 6 to have better energy absorption capacity during crushing, so that one side of the side step mounting plate 6 can become a crush energy absorption area, which helps to improve the side collision energy absorption effect. Different from one side of the side step mounting plate 6, on one side of the connecting beam 1, through the setting of the transverse reinforcing rib 1b, by utilizing the transverse supporting effect of the transverse reinforcing rib 1b, the connecting beam 1 can have strong supporting stiffness during a side collision of the vehicle, and then one side of the connecting beam 1 can become a rigid frame area to better protect the battery pack located in the battery pack installation space Q.
[0119] In this embodiment, in addition to as Fig.16 shown, the integrally formed connecting beam 1 and side step mounting plate 6 have different cross-sectional structures. Of course, in specific implementation, the wall thickness on one side of the connecting beam 1 can also be made greater than that on one side of the side step mounting plate 6. In this way, the strength on one side of the connecting beam 1 can be further increased to make full use of the crush energy absorption on one side of the side step mounting plate 6 to protect the battery pack inside the connecting beam 1.
[0120] Such as Fig.17 shown is an exemplary cross-sectional form when the above-mentioned side step mounting plate 6 and connecting beam 1 adopt a steel rolling structure. It should be noted that when adopting the rolling structure, the integrally formed side step mounting plate 6 and connecting beam 1 generally adopt the Fig.17 shown "day" - shaped cross-section and can be connected by a combination of laser welding and spot welding. However, in addition to adopting the "day" - shaped cross-section, of course, it is also possible to make the roll-formed side step mounting plate 6 and connecting beam 1 adopt other cross-sectional forms.
[0121] In this embodiment, based on the setting of the two connecting beams 1 on both sides, in addition to making the two connecting beams 1 on both sides be of an integral structure, as a preferred implementation form, it can also be set such that the lengths of the two connecting beams 1 along the front - rear direction of the whole vehicle are adjustable, and fixing structures 1d are respectively provided on the two connecting beams 1 on both sides to fix the adjusted lengths of the connecting beams 1 through the fixing structures 1d. At this time, by making the lengths of the two connecting beams 1 adjustable and setting the fixing structures for fixing the lengths of the connecting beams 1, it can facilitate meeting the wheelbase changes between different vehicle models, and make the front and rear subframes become common parts, which helps to realize platform design and reduce the overall vehicle R & D cost.
[0122] During specific implementation, the length adjustment positions of the two connecting beams 1 on both sides can be as indicated by the reference numeral A in Figure 1 , and, as Fig.18As shown in , in order to achieve the adjustable length of the connecting beam 1, for example, the two longitudinal beam segments 1c disconnected at the position marked A can be connected by plugging, and at the same time, the above-mentioned fixing structure 1d can be fixed in the form of a threaded sleeve and a bolt.
[0123] The threaded sleeve can be fixed in one of the longitudinal beam segments 1c, and connecting holes are respectively provided on the two longitudinal beam segments 1c, and the connecting holes on the outer longitudinal beam segment 1c are arranged in a plurality of intervals. When adjusting the length of the connecting beam 1, after the insertion length of the two longitudinal beam segments 1c is adjusted, the bolt is screwed into the threaded sleeve through the connection process, so that the length of the connecting beam 1 can be adjusted and the adjusted length of the connecting beam 1 can be fixed.
[0124] In addition, it should be noted that when the length of the connecting beams 1 on both sides is adjustable, the side step mounting plate 6 disposed on the side of each side connecting beam 1 facing the outside of the vehicle should be detachably connected to the connecting beam 1. In specific implementation, the side step mounting plate 6 of a suitable length can be manufactured according to the adjusted length of the connecting beam 1, and then connected to the outside of the connecting beam 1 after the length of the connecting beam 1 is fixed.
[0125] The vehicle chassis of the present embodiment adopts the above structure. Through the setting of the connecting beams 1 on both sides of the battery pack 2 and the internal cross beam 202 in the battery pack 2, when the vehicle has a side collision, the side connecting beams 1 can collapse to absorb energy and can transmit and disperse the collision force. At the same time, the internal cross beam 202 inside the battery pack 2 can also provide support to protect the modules in the battery pack 2 from being subjected to force. Therefore, the present embodiment can increase the ability of the battery pack 2 to cope with side collisions and increase the safety of the battery pack 2 in side collisions.
[0126] In addition, on the basis of setting the connecting beams 1 on both sides, especially by connecting the connecting beams 1 on both sides between the front and rear subframes, this embodiment can connect the front and rear subframes through the connecting beams 1 on both sides on the basis of the traditional load-bearing body. In this way, by adopting a load-bearing body structure with front and rear subframes, the weight of the load-bearing body can be utilized to achieve lightweighting of the body, thereby improving the endurance of the entire vehicle.
[0127] By setting the connecting beams 1 on both sides, the front and rear subframes are connected, and the front crossbeam 404, the rear crossbeam 504 and the connecting beams 1 on both sides jointly define the battery pack installation space Q. The chassis structure of this embodiment can also form a battery pack annular frame structure with the help of the connection setting of the connecting beams 1. In the event of a collision, the battery pack 2 can move with the annular frame structure, which can reduce the collision impact on the battery pack 2, increase the collision safety of the battery pack 2, and improve the safety quality of the entire vehicle.
[0128] In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned chassis structure of this embodiment, since the front and rear ends of the chassis are still the front and rear sub-frames, the sub-frame structure has a smaller Y-direction cross-section than the frame in the non-load-bearing body, and the longitudinal beam at the position of the sub-frame continues to use a curved longitudinal beam structure, making the chassis structure of this embodiment a structural innovation in the form of a sub-frame, and significantly different from the conventional non-load-bearing frame beam structure. Specifically, the front and rear sub-frames in this embodiment are still separate units, and it is just based on the front and rear sub-frames in the load-bearing body, and further adds a front and rear connecting beam 1, which is not an integrated beam structure in the non-load-bearing body.
[0129] Of course, in the implementation form where the connecting beam 1 is connected to the front and rear subframes, it is precisely because of the use of the integrated structure of the front and rear subframes connected by the connecting beam 1 that this embodiment, as mentioned above, can not only utilize the characteristics of the load-bearing body structure to reduce the body weight to increase the vehicle's endurance, but also form a battery pack annular protection frame to better improve the collision safety of the battery pack 2. Therefore, it not only improves the shortcomings of the load-bearing body structure, but also has the advantages of the non-load-bearing body structure, can well improve the overall quality of the vehicle, and has good practicality.
[0130] Embodiment 2
[0131] The present embodiment relates to a vehicle, which is specifically a new energy vehicle type provided with a battery pack, and specifically, the vehicle is preferably a pure electric vehicle type, and the vehicle chassis in the first embodiment is provided in the vehicle.
[0132] It should be noted that, based on the vehicle chassis of the first embodiment, the vehicle of this embodiment is assembled in the same manner as the existing load-bearing body assembly, that is, the bottom subframe is still assembled to the upper body, and the upper body frame is the load-bearing body in the vehicle, and the chassis accessories are also assembled to the body relying on the front and rear subframes. In addition, when the vehicle collides, the upper body frame, the front and rear subframes in the chassis, and the connecting beam 1 participate in the absorption and transmission of the collision force, instead of the frame beam alone transmitting force and absorbing energy as in the non-load-bearing body.
[0133] The vehicle of this embodiment is provided with the vehicle chassis of the first embodiment. On the one hand, the connection beams 1 on both sides of the battery pack 2 and the internal cross beam 202 in the battery pack 2 help to improve the safety of the battery pack 2 during a side collision.
[0134] On the other hand, in the specific setting of the connecting beams 1 on both sides, especially by connecting the connecting beams 1 between the front and rear subframes, the front and rear subframes can be connected through the connecting beams 1 on both sides on the basis of the traditional load-bearing body, which is not only conducive to achieving the lightweight of the body and improving the endurance of the whole vehicle, but also can reduce the collision impact on the battery pack 2, increase the collision safety of the battery pack 2, help to improve the safety quality of the whole vehicle, and has good practicality.
[0135] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
