Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and particularly to a front-end force transmission structure for a vehicle body. The invention also relates to a vehicle equipped with the aforementioned front-end force transmission structure. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, as people's requirements for vehicle collision safety become increasingly stringent, the front subframe, as one of the main structures capable of participating in frontal collisions, becomes particularly important in terms of its ability to withstand impacts. However, existing front subframes still have shortcomings such as a single collision force transmission method and poor absorption of collision impact forces, which are detrimental to improving the overall vehicle collision safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a front force transmission structure for the vehicle body to improve the collision safety of the entire vehicle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] A front-end force transmission structure for a vehicle body includes a front subframe and a front frame;

[0006] The front subframe longitudinal beams on both the left and right sides of the front subframe have upper and lower longitudinal beams arranged vertically. The front ends of the upper and lower longitudinal beams on each side are connected to the front crossbeam of the front subframe and form a herringbone-shaped first collision force transmission channel with the energy-absorbing box on the front side of the front crossbeam of the front subframe.

[0007] The front frame includes frame longitudinal beams on the left and right sides, and a front anti-collision beam connected to the front end of the frame longitudinal beams on both sides. The rear end of each frame longitudinal beam is connected to the upper longitudinal beam on the same side, and the frame longitudinal beams on each side and the upper longitudinal beam form a second collision force transmission channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the front sections of both the upper and lower longitudinal beams have collapsible sections. These collapsible sections can bend and deform when the front subframe longitudinal beam is subjected to a frontal impact force of not less than a preset threshold, thereby guiding the front sections of both the upper and lower longitudinal beams to collapse.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the crumple sections includes a front part and a rear part of the crumple section connected along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the yield strength of the front part of the crumple section is greater than the yield strength of the rear part of the crumple section.

[0010] Furthermore, front shock absorber towers are provided on the upper beams on both sides, and reinforcing beams are provided between the front shock absorber towers on each side and the front bulkhead assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the reinforcing beams on each side includes a first reinforcing beam and a second reinforcing beam connecting the front shock absorber tower and the front bulkhead assembly;

[0012] The first and second reinforcing beams on each side are close to each other in the direction pointing towards the front shock absorber tower, and the first and second reinforcing beams on each side are connected to the front bulkhead assembly to form a triangular structure.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the first reinforcing beam on each side, which is connected to the front bulkhead assembly, is connected to the A-pillar on the same side in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and / or,

[0014] The second reinforcing beam is connected to the lower crossbeam of the front windshield in the front bulkhead assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting beam connects the two front shock absorber towers; and / or,

[0016] A frame crossbeam is connected between the ends of the frame longitudinal beams on both sides that are close to the front subframe longitudinal beam, and the frame longitudinal beams are respectively connected to the front shock absorber towers on both sides.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] The front vehicle body force transmission structure described in this invention consists of an upper longitudinal beam and a lower longitudinal beam arranged vertically. This dual force transmission channel formed by the upper and lower longitudinal beams increases the ability to transmit collision forces. At the same time, the front frame setup, along with the upper and lower longitudinal beams forming a first collision force transmission channel with the energy-absorbing box of the front bumper beam, and the frame longitudinal beams forming a second collision force transmission channel with the upper longitudinal beam, further increases the ability to transmit collision forces, thereby contributing to the improvement of the overall vehicle collision safety.

[0019] Furthermore, by setting crumple zones on the upper and lower longitudinal beams, the energy absorption effect of the crumple zones can be increased by utilizing their crumple energy absorption. The crumple zone consists of two connected front and rear parts, and the yield strength of the front part of the crumple zone is greater than that of the rear part, which can ensure the crumple energy absorption effect of the crumple zone during a collision. Integrating the front shock absorber tower into the front subframe longitudinal beam in the front subframe simplifies or even eliminates the front engine compartment longitudinal beam and front engine compartment side beam in the front engine compartment of the vehicle body. This can help simplify the body structure, reduce the body weight, and thus contribute to the lightweight design and styling design of the body. At the same time, setting a reinforcing beam between the front shock absorber tower and the front bulkhead assembly can also increase the structural strength of the front shock absorber tower location and help to transmit and disperse the collision force to the rear of the vehicle body.

[0020] The first and second reinforcing beams, along with the front bulkhead assembly, form a triangular structure. This structure, utilizing the support of the first and second reinforcing beams and the high strength of the triangular structure, increases the strength of the front shock absorber tower, thereby improving the reliability of the front shock absorber installation. The connection between the first reinforcing beam and the A-pillar not only provides strong support for the first reinforcing beam but also facilitates the transmission and dispersion of impact forces from the first reinforcing beam to the rear of the vehicle via the A-pillar, enhancing the impact force distribution effect. Similarly, the connection between the second reinforcing beam and the lower crossbeam of the windshield provides strong support for the second reinforcing beam and facilitates the transmission and dispersion of impact forces from the second reinforcing beam to the rear of the vehicle via the lower crossbeam of the windshield, further enhancing the impact force distribution effect.

[0021] In addition, a connecting crossbeam is installed between the two front shock absorber towers, providing lateral support to further increase the structural strength of each tower and creating a lateral force transmission channel to improve the dispersion of impact forces. A frame crossbeam is also installed between the longitudinal beams of the two frames, connecting each longitudinal beam to the front shock absorber tower. This increases the overall rigidity of the front frame and the reliability of its connection to the front subframe, while also creating a lateral force transmission channel to further enhance the dispersion of impact forces.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle having a front body force transmission structure as described above.

[0023] Furthermore, the vehicle is also provided with a rear subframe and a connecting longitudinal beam connecting the front subframe and the rear subframe;

[0024] The connecting beam consists of two beams located on the left and right sides, and the front subframe, the rear subframe, and the connecting longitudinal beams on both sides together define the battery pack installation space.

[0025] Furthermore, the longitudinal beams of the rear subframe on both the left and right sides of the rear subframe each include an inner longitudinal beam and an outer longitudinal beam disposed along the left-right direction of the vehicle on the side of the inner longitudinal beam facing outwards from the vehicle, and a rear shock absorber tower is respectively provided on the outer longitudinal beams on both sides; and / or,

[0026] In the left-right direction of the vehicle, the connecting beams on each side are located on the side of the front subframe longitudinal beam and the rear subframe longitudinal beam that are closer to the outside of the vehicle.

[0027] The vehicle described in this invention, by setting the aforementioned front force transmission structure, can increase its ability to transmit collision forces, which helps to improve the overall vehicle collision safety.

[0028] Secondly, by setting up connecting longitudinal beams on both sides, the front and rear subframes are connected into a ring structure. At the same time, the battery pack installation space is defined within the ring structure. With the help of the connecting longitudinal beams, a ring frame structure for the battery pack can be formed. In the event of a vehicle collision, the battery pack can move together with the ring frame structure, which can reduce the impact on the battery pack and increase the collision safety of the battery pack, thus contributing to the improvement of the overall vehicle safety quality.

[0029] Furthermore, the rear subframe longitudinal beams consist of inner and outer longitudinal beams, with a rear shock absorber tower mounted on the outer longitudinal beam. This design utilizes the dual force transmission channels formed by the inner and outer longitudinal beams to increase the transmission of collision forces, thus improving overall vehicle collision safety. Additionally, integrating the rear shock absorber tower onto the front subframe longitudinal beams simplifies or even eliminates the rear floor longitudinal beam, further simplifying the body structure and reducing weight, which is beneficial for lightweight and styling design. Positioning the connecting longitudinal beams on the same side of the front and rear subframe longitudinal beams, closer to the outside of the vehicle, facilitates changes in the Y-axis cross-section of the front and rear sections of the monocoque body, easily meeting the matching design requirements between the chassis and body frame in a monocoque body.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in light of the specific circumstances.

[0058] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] This embodiment relates to a front force transmission structure of the vehicle body, which helps to improve the collision safety of the entire vehicle.

[0061] In terms of overall structure, combined Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the front force transmission structure of the vehicle body in this embodiment includes a front subframe 1 and a front frame 400.

[0062] Among them, the longitudinal beams 101 of the front subframe on both the left and right sides of the front subframe 1 each have an upper longitudinal beam 1011 and a lower longitudinal beam 1012 arranged vertically. The front ends of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 on each side are connected to the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, and form a herringbone-shaped first collision force transmission channel with the energy-absorbing box 106 on the front side of the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe.

[0063] The front frame 400 includes frame longitudinal beams 8 on the left and right sides, and front anti-collision beams 9 connected to the front ends of the frame longitudinal beams 8 on both sides. The rear ends of each frame longitudinal beam 8 are connected to the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on the same side, and each frame longitudinal beam 8 and the upper longitudinal beam 1011 form a second collision force transmission channel.

[0064] At this time, as described above, the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 is composed of an upper longitudinal beam 1011 and a lower longitudinal beam 1012 arranged vertically. The dual force transmission channels formed by the upper and lower longitudinal beams can be used to increase the ability to transmit collision force. At the same time, through the arrangement of the front frame 400, and the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 forming a first collision force transmission channel with the front anti-collision beam energy absorption box 106, and the frame longitudinal beam 8 forming a second collision force transmission channel with the upper longitudinal beam 1011, this embodiment can further increase the ability to transmit collision force, thereby achieving the effect of improving the collision safety of the whole vehicle.

[0065] Based on the above general introduction, specifically, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the front subframe 1 is a part of the chassis structure 100, and the chassis structure 100 is connected to the bottom of the body frame 200 so as to form the frame structure of the whole vehicle together with the body frame 200.

[0066] In specific implementation, the front fascia, side fascia, and vehicle floor of the vehicle body frame 200 in this embodiment can be referred to as relevant structures in existing vehicles, and will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Continue to combine Figures 6 to 8 As shown, for the front subframe 1 in this embodiment, the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 constituting the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 both extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, front shock absorber towers 107 are also provided on the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on each side.

[0068] At this point, by integrating the front shock absorber tower 107 onto the upper longitudinal beam 1011 in the front subframe 1, the front engine compartment longitudinal beam and front engine compartment side beam in the front engine compartment of the vehicle body can be simplified or even eliminated, which can help simplify the body structure, reduce the body weight, and contribute to the lightweight design and styling design of the body.

[0069] Furthermore, based on the fact that the front subframe longitudinal beam 1 has an upper longitudinal beam 1011 and a lower longitudinal beam 1012 arranged vertically, as an exemplary structure, the front ends of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 on each side are connected to the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, and the rear ends of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 on each side are connected to the rear crossbeam 104 located at the rear of the front subframe 1. At the same time, the aforementioned frame longitudinal beams 8 on each side are also connected to the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on the same side.

[0070] Furthermore, similar to the existing front subframe 1 installed in a vehicle, this embodiment, in addition to the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, also provides a middle crossbeam 103 of the front subframe between the longitudinal beams 101 of the two front subframes. The middle crossbeam 103 of the front subframe is located between the middle of the longitudinal beams 101 of the two front subframes and is specifically connected between the lower longitudinal beams 1012 on both sides.

[0071] In addition to the aforementioned crossbeam 103 in the front subframe, this embodiment also provides a front subframe anti-collision beam 105 at the front end of the front subframe 1, and the front subframe anti-collision beam 105 is connected to the front side of the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe through the front subframe energy-absorbing boxes 106 on the left and right sides.

[0072] It should be noted that, as a preferred embodiment, in this example, the aforementioned rear crossbeam 104 can be, for example, part of the front subframe 1, and specifically, the rear crossbeam of the front subframe located at the rear end of the front subframe 1. However, besides being the rear crossbeam of the front subframe, the rear crossbeam 104 in this embodiment can also be a beam structure disposed at the rear of the front subframe 1 and disposed independently of the front subframe 1. In this case, the rear crossbeam 104 can, for example, be connected between the two connecting longitudinal beams 12 described below to meet its setting requirements.

[0073] It should be noted that, in specific implementation, when the rear crossbeam 104 is set independently of the front subframe 1, its connection to the front subframe 1 is generally also connected to the rear end of the longitudinal beams 101 of the two front subframes. Moreover, when the rear crossbeam 104 is set independently of the front subframe 1, the rear crossbeams of the front subframe 1 can be selectively set as needed.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, since the front ends of the upper and lower longitudinal beams on each side are connected to the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, this embodiment also makes the front ends of the upper longitudinal beams 1011 and the lower longitudinal beams 1012 on each side intersect together, and the front sections of the upper longitudinal beams 1011 and the lower longitudinal beams 1012 on each side, as well as the energy-absorbing box 106 of the front subframe located on the front side of the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, together form a herringbone structure as described above.

[0075] In this embodiment, also as a preferred implementation, the middle portions of the upper longitudinal beams 1011 on both sides are arched upwards along the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the front shock absorber towers 107 on each side are specifically located at the top of the arched position of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on the same side. Furthermore, front shock absorber mounting structures are also provided on each front shock absorber tower 107 for mounting the front shock absorber. It is understood that by arching the middle portion of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 upwards and placing the front shock absorber towers 107 at the arched position, it not only helps to improve the crumple zone energy absorption effect of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 during vehicle collisions, especially head-on collisions, but also helps to meet the height requirements of the front shock absorber towers 107 within the vehicle.

[0076] Based on the integration of the front damping tower 107 onto the upper longitudinal beam 1011, in a specific embodiment, as a preferred implementation, it remains as follows: Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection between the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the front shock absorber tower 107 can also be a straight structure arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In this way, setting the connection between the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the front shock absorber tower 107 as a straight structure can facilitate the integrated installation of the front shock absorber tower 107, and also help to improve the collision force transmission capability of the upper longitudinal beam 101.

[0077] Continue as Figure 9 As shown, in a specific implementation, the aforementioned front shock absorber mounting structure located on the front shock absorber tower 107 can, for example, be a front shock absorber mounting hole located at the top of the front shock absorber tower 107, and a through hole for accommodating the top of the front shock absorber. Meanwhile, to increase the rigidity of the front shock absorber mounting position, preferably, this embodiment can also form a protruding boss 107a on the top of the front shock absorber tower 107, such that the aforementioned mounting hole for mounting the front shock absorber and the through hole for accommodating the top of the front shock absorber are both located on this boss 107a.

[0078] In addition to providing the aforementioned boss 107a, as a preferred embodiment, this embodiment may also include... Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, reinforcing flanges 107b are provided on both the front and rear sides of the front shock absorber tower 107, and the bottom of the reinforcing flanges 107b on both the front and rear sides is connected to the upper longitudinal beam 1011, while the top of the reinforcing flanges 107b on both the front and rear sides is connected to the top of the front shock absorber tower 107.

[0079] With the reinforcing flanges 107b provided on both the front and rear sides of the front shock absorber tower 107, it can be understood that they can increase the overall structural strength of the front shock absorber tower 107, improve the reliability of the front shock absorber installation, and also increase the stability of the connection between the front shock absorber tower 107 and the upper longitudinal beam 1011.

[0080] In this embodiment, see continue to refer to Figure 6As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a support beam 108 may also be provided between the lower longitudinal beam 1012 and the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on each side, and the bottom end of each support beam 108 is connected to the lower longitudinal beam 1012. The connection point between each support beam 108 and the upper longitudinal beam 1011 is specifically located below the front shock absorber tower 107 on the same side.

[0081] At this point, by installing a support beam 108 located below the front shock absorber tower 107 between the upper and lower longitudinal beams on each side, the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the front shock absorber tower 107 can be supported, thereby improving the dynamic stiffness of the front shock absorber tower 107. In specific implementation, the top of the aforementioned support beam 108 is generally connected to the upper longitudinal beam 1011 by a bolted structure. At the same time, the connection between the support beam 108 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 can correspond to the crossbeam 103 in the front subframe to increase the support capacity of the support beam 108.

[0082] As a preferred embodiment, this embodiment further follows the principle of... Figure 7 As shown, a crumple section 101a is also provided at the front section of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 on each side. The crumple section 101a can bend and deform when the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 is subjected to a frontal impact force of not less than a preset threshold, thereby guiding the front section of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the front section of the lower longitudinal beam 1012 to crumple.

[0083] At this time, by setting crumple sections 101a on the upper and lower longitudinal beams respectively, the energy absorption of the crumple sections 101a can be utilized to increase the absorption effect of the impact force.

[0084] In practice, it is still as follows Figure 8 As shown, the collapsible section 101a in the front section of the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the front section of the lower longitudinal beam 1012 can, for example, include a front part 101b and a rear part 101c of the collapsible section connected along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the yield strength of the front part 101b of the collapsible section is greater than the yield strength of the rear part 101c of the collapsible section.

[0085] In this way, by making each side of the crumple section 101a include two connected front and rear parts, and making the yield strength of the front part 101b of the crumple section greater than that of the rear part 101c of the crumple section, crumple deformation can occur at the position of the rear part 101c of the crumple section in the upper and lower longitudinal beams during a frontal collision. Due to the crumple of the rear part 101c of the crumple section, the front part 101b of the crumple section in the upper and lower longitudinal beams moves into the space between the upper and lower longitudinal beams. Ultimately, the crumple section 101a in the upper and lower longitudinal beams can bend, thus ensuring the crumple energy absorption effect of the crumple section 101a on the upper and lower longitudinal beams during the collision.

[0086] In order to make the yield strength of the front part 101b of the collapse section greater than that of the rear part 101c of the collapse section, in specific implementation, for example, the material and thickness of the front part 101b and the rear part 101c of the collapse section can be designed to be different. Alternatively, a structural reinforcement structure can be added to the front part 101b of the collapse section, or a collapse structure can be added to the rear part 101c of the collapse section to meet the yield strength design requirements of the front and rear parts of the collapse section.

[0087] And still see Figure 8 As shown, based on the fact that the yield strength of the front portion 101b of the collapse segment is greater than the yield strength of the rear portion 101c of the collapse segment, in a specific implementation, as a feasible embodiment, this embodiment can, for example, make both the front portion 101b and the rear portion 101c of the collapse segment tubular, and also insert the front end of the rear portion 101c of the collapse segment into the rear end of the front portion 101b of the collapse segment. Thus, by designing the front portion 101b and the rear portion 101c of the collapse segment as tubular, and inserting the rear portion 101c of the collapse segment into the front portion 101b of the collapse segment, the structure of the collapse segment 101a can be made simpler, facilitating the molding and preparation of the collapse segment 101a, while also ensuring the collapse energy absorption effect of the collapse segment 101a.

[0088] Of course, besides designing the front and rear parts of the crumple zone as a tubular structure connected by insertion, this embodiment can also use other configuration methods to achieve the connection between the front part 101b and the rear part 101c of the crumple zone, and cause the crumple zone 101a to bend and deform when the vehicle is involved in a head-on collision. For example, a first mounting part can be provided at the rear end of the front part 101b of the crumple zone, and correspondingly, a second mounting part can be provided at the front end of the rear part 101c of the crumple zone. The first mounting part and the second mounting part are mated together, and the first mounting part and the second mounting part can generally be plates that can be mated together, and can be fixed together by welding or screwing.

[0089] As a preferred embodiment, this embodiment still refers to... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, based on the arrangement of the front shock absorber towers 107 on each side, a reinforcing beam is provided between the front shock absorber towers 107 on each side and the front bulkhead assembly 300. At this time, the aforementioned front bulkhead assembly 300 and the aforementioned reinforcing beams are also part of the vehicle body frame 200. By providing reinforcing beams, this embodiment can increase the structural strength at the location of the front shock absorber towers 107 and also facilitate the transmission and dispersion of collision forces to the rear of the vehicle body.

[0090] In specific implementation, we will continue to combine Figures 10 to 13As shown, in a preferred structural form, the reinforcing beams on each side specifically include a first reinforcing beam 5 and a second reinforcing beam 6 connecting the front shock absorber tower 107 and the front bulkhead assembly 300. Furthermore, the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6 are close to each other in the direction pointing towards the front shock absorber tower 107, and the first reinforcing beam 5, the second reinforcing beam 6, and the front bulkhead assembly 300 are also connected to form a triangular structure.

[0091] At this point, it is understandable that by making the reinforcing beam consist of the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6, and connecting the first reinforcing beam 5, the second reinforcing beam 6, and the front assembly 300 to form a triangular structure, it is possible not only to utilize the supporting connection of the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6, as well as the high strength of the triangular structure, to better increase the structural strength at the front shock absorber tower 107, but also to utilize the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6 to better transmit the impact force to the front assembly 300, thereby improving the impact force transmission effect.

[0092] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, the end of the first reinforcing beam 5 connected to the front bulkhead assembly 300 is specifically connected to the A-pillar 3 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In this case, the connection between the first reinforcing beam 5 and the A-pillar 3, i.e., their projections in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, at least partially overlap. This connection not only provides stronger support for the first reinforcing beam 5 but also facilitates the transmission and dispersion of collision forces from the first reinforcing beam 5 to the rear of the vehicle via the A-pillar 3, thereby improving the effect of transmitting and dispersing collision forces.

[0093] Furthermore, in addition to its connection with column A3, this embodiment preferably allows the first reinforcing beam 5 to be arranged with an upward and backward tilt, thereby forming a continuous force transmission channel between the first reinforcing beam 5 and the upper section 3a of column A3. In this way, the impact force from the first reinforcing beam 5 can be transmitted not only along column A3 to the bottom sill beam, but also more effectively to the top roof edge beam, achieving a better impact force distribution effect.

[0094] Continue to combine Figure 12 As shown, in a specific implementation, for the first reinforcing beam 5 mentioned above, this embodiment may make the first reinforcing beam 5 include a connecting plate 501 connected to the front bulkhead assembly 300, and a connecting beam 502 connected at one end to the connecting plate 501, and the other end of the connecting beam 502 is connected to the front shock absorber tower 107.

[0095] At this point, the first reinforcing beam 5 is composed of a connecting plate 501 and a connecting beam 502. It is understood that this facilitates the preparation of the first reinforcing beam 5 and also facilitates the arrangement of the first reinforcing beam 5 between the front bulkhead assembly 300 and the front shock absorber tower 107.

[0096] Furthermore, in terms of specific structural design, preferably, this embodiment combines... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, for example, the connecting plate 501 can also be box-shaped, and a cavity can be formed between the connecting plate 501 and the front assembly 300. In this way, by making the connecting plate 501 box-shaped and forming a cavity with the front assembly 300, the high strength of the box-shaped structure can be utilized to ensure the strength of the connecting plate 501 and the reliability of its connection.

[0097] In this embodiment, in addition to the connecting plate 501 being a box-shaped structure, the connecting beam 502 is preferably, for example, a tubular beam. Moreover, by making the connecting beam 502 a tubular beam, it is understood that this facilitates the fabrication of the connecting beam 502 while also ensuring the structural strength of the connecting beam 502.

[0098] Continue to combine Figure 13 As shown, the second reinforcing beam 6 in this embodiment can be, for example, a stamped plate structure, and in order to increase the structural strength of the second reinforcing beam 6, reinforcing ribs 6a can also be formed on it. At the same time, the reinforcing ribs 6a can be designed as multiple parallel lines according to the width of the second reinforcing beam 6 to ensure the structural reinforcement effect.

[0099] It should be noted that the connecting plate 501 and connecting beam 502 constituting the first reinforcing beam 5 can be connected together by a bolted structure after butt joint. The end of the connecting plate 501 near the front assembly 300 can be welded to the front assembly 300, and the end of the connecting beam 502 near the front shock absorber tower 107 can also be bolted to the front shock absorber tower 107. Both ends of the second reinforcing beam 6 can be connected to the front assembly 300 and the front shock absorber tower 107 by bolted structures.

[0100] In addition, it should be noted that, besides adopting the above-mentioned structural form for the first reinforcing beam 501 and the second reinforcing beam 6, other structures such as stamped sheet metal and extruded profiles can also be used for the first reinforcing beam 501 and the second reinforcing beam 6 in specific implementation, as long as they can meet the support and reinforcement effect for the front shock absorber tower 107.

[0101] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, the second reinforcing beam 6 can be connected to the lower windshield crossbeam 4 in the front bulkhead assembly 300. This connection between the second reinforcing beam 6 and the lower windshield crossbeam 4 provides strong support for the second reinforcing beam 6 and facilitates the transmission and dispersion of impact forces from the second reinforcing beam 6 to the rear of the vehicle via the lower windshield crossbeam 4, thereby improving the impact force transmission and dispersion effect.

[0102] As a preferred embodiment, in this specific implementation, the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6 can generally be connected to the top of the front damping tower 107. In this case, by connecting the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6 to the top of the front damping tower 107, the connection between the two beams and the front damping tower 107 can be facilitated, and the arrangement of the two reinforcing beams can also be facilitated.

[0103] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned arrangement where each side's reinforcing beam includes a first reinforcing beam 5 and a second reinforcing beam 6, it is also possible to have only one reinforcing beam on each side, or multiple reinforcing beams, and to use reinforcing beams made of materials such as extruded profiles or sheet metal welded structures. The specific implementation can be chosen according to the actual design requirements.

[0104] Still Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the diagram, in a preferred embodiment, this embodiment further includes a connecting beam 7 between the left and right front shock absorber towers 107. By providing the connecting beam 7 between the two front shock absorber towers 107, lateral support can be provided between the two front shock absorber towers 107, further increasing the structural strength of each front shock absorber tower 107. Furthermore, the connecting beam 7 also forms a lateral (i.e., left-right direction of the vehicle) force transmission channel between the two front shock absorber towers 107, thereby improving the impact force transmission and dispersion effect.

[0105] In specific implementation, preferably, the aforementioned connecting beam 7 can also be connected between the tops of the two front shock absorber towers 107, so that the connecting beam 7 is connected between the tops of the two front shock absorber towers 107, which also facilitates the arrangement of the connecting beam 7.

[0106] In addition, such as Figure 14 As shown, in specific implementation, the aforementioned connecting beam 7 can, for example, be a stamped sheet metal beam structure, and its two ends can also be connected to the front shock absorber tower 107 by a screw connection structure, and continue as shown. Figure 15 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, this embodiment may further provide a reinforcing crossbeam 7a extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle in the middle of the connecting crossbeam 7, and the reinforcing crossbeam 7a is fastened and connected to the connecting crossbeam 7.

[0107] At this point, the reinforcing beam 7a can also be made of stamped sheet metal. Furthermore, by setting the reinforcing beam 7a in the middle of the connecting beam 7, it is clear that the supporting strength and impact force transmission performance of the connecting beam 7 can be further improved.

[0108] In this embodiment, it is still by Figures 1 to 5 and continue to combine Figure 16 As shown, in the front frame 400, the rear ends of the longitudinal beams 8 of each side frame are located in front of the front shock absorber tower 107 on the same side. Moreover, based on the aforementioned straight structure in the upper longitudinal beams 1011 on each side, preferably, this embodiment can also be viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle so that the longitudinal beams 8 of each side frame and the straight structure in the upper longitudinal beam 1011 on the same side are on the same straight line. As a result, the collision force from the longitudinal beams 8 can be better transmitted to the upper longitudinal beam 1011, thereby improving the collision transmission effect.

[0109] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, a frame crossbeam 10 is connected between the ends of the two side frame longitudinal beams 8 near the upper longitudinal beam 1011, and the frame crossbeam 10 is also connected to the front shock absorber towers 107 on both sides respectively.

[0110] In this way, by setting the frame crossbeam 10 between the longitudinal beams 8 on both sides and connecting the frame crossbeam 10 to the front shock absorber towers 107 on each side, the overall rigidity of the front frame 400 and the reliability of the connection with the front subframe 1 can be increased. At the same time, a lateral force transmission channel can be formed to improve the effect of collision force transmission and dispersion.

[0111] In this embodiment, the front bumper beam 9 connected to the front end of the longitudinal beams 8 on both sides of the frame is equivalent to the front bumper beam assembly structure in a traditional vehicle body. Preferably, energy-absorbing boxes (not shown in the figure) can also be connected to the front end of the longitudinal beams 8 on both sides of the frame, so that the longitudinal beams 8 on both sides of the frame are connected to the front bumper beam 9 through the energy-absorbing boxes.

[0112] At this point, connecting the frame longitudinal beams 8 to the front bumper beam 9 via energy-absorbing boxes enhances the crumple zone energy absorption capacity of the front frame 400 during a collision. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the frame longitudinal beams 8 and frame crossbeams 10 located on both sides can be tubular structures. This allows for easier fabrication of the frame longitudinal beams 8 and frame crossbeams 10, while also ensuring their structural strength.

[0113] In this embodiment, based on the aforementioned front subframe 1 and front frame 400 configuration, as a preferred implementation, support members 11 are also provided on the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe, each supporting the longitudinal beams 8 of the side frames. The support members 11 on each side can be conventional box-shaped sheet metal structures or extruded profiles, etc. Furthermore, by providing support members 11 on the front crossbeam 102 of the front subframe to support the longitudinal beams 8 of the side frames, the front frame 400 is prevented from becoming a single cantilever structure, thus improving the stability of the front frame 400.

[0114] The front force transmission structure of the vehicle body in this embodiment, by making the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 consist of an upper longitudinal beam 1011 and a lower longitudinal beam 1012 arranged vertically, can increase the ability to transmit collision forces by utilizing the dual force transmission channels formed by the upper and lower longitudinal beams.

[0115] At the same time, by setting up the front frame 400, and by making the upper longitudinal beam 1011 and the lower longitudinal beam 1012 form a first collision force transmission channel with the front anti-collision beam energy absorption box 106, the frame longitudinal beam 8 and the upper longitudinal beam 1011 form a second collision force transmission channel, which can further increase the ability to transmit collision force, thereby improving the collision safety of the whole vehicle and thus having good practicality.

[0116] Example 2

[0117] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, which is equipped with the front force transmission structure of the vehicle body as described in Embodiment 1.

[0118] Furthermore, it should be noted that the vehicle equipped with the aforementioned front-end force transmission structure in this embodiment can still be a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle; however, continuing as described above... Figure 17 As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment, the vehicle in this embodiment can be, for example, a new energy vehicle, and in particular, a pure electric vehicle. The vehicle is also provided with a rear subframe 2 and a connecting longitudinal beam 12 connecting the front subframe 1 and the rear subframe 2.

[0119] The connecting longitudinal beams 12 are two beams located on the left and right sides, and the front subframe 1, rear subframe 2, and the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides together define the battery pack installation space. Meanwhile, the aforementioned rear subframe 2, front subframe 1, and the connecting longitudinal beams 3 that connect the two together constitute the chassis structure 100 in this embodiment.

[0120] At this point, the front and rear subframes are connected into a ring structure by the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides. The ring structure defines the battery pack installation space. The connecting longitudinal beams 12 also form a ring frame structure for the battery pack. When a vehicle collision occurs, the battery pack 13 can move with the ring frame structure, which can reduce the impact of the collision on the battery pack 13, thereby increasing the collision safety of the battery pack 13 and contributing to the improvement of the overall vehicle safety quality.

[0121] Specifically, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, rear shock absorber towers 207 may be provided on the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on both the left and right sides of the rear subframe 2. Furthermore, based on the fact that rear shock absorber towers 207 are also provided on the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on each side, as an exemplary structure, such as... Figure 18 As shown, for the rear subframe 2, the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on both sides include an inner longitudinal beam 2011, and an outer longitudinal beam 2012 is respectively provided on the side of the inner longitudinal beam 2011 facing outward along the left-right direction of the whole vehicle, and the rear shock absorber towers 207 on each side are respectively provided on the outer longitudinal beam 2012 on the same side.

[0122] Furthermore, similar to the existing rear subframe 2 installed in a vehicle, the rear subframe 2 in this embodiment also has a rear subframe crossbeam connected between the longitudinal beams 201 of the two rear subframes, and the rear subframe crossbeam includes a rear subframe front crossbeam 202 disposed near the front end of the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201, and a rear subframe rear crossbeam 203 disposed near the rear end of the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201.

[0123] Meanwhile, as a preferred embodiment, in this example, the outer longitudinal beams 2012 on both sides extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and each outer longitudinal beam 2012 is connected between the front and rear ends of the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 on the same side. This connection between the outer longitudinal beams 2012 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 allows the outer longitudinal beams 2012 to better participate in collision force transmission, further improving the collision force transmission effect of the rear subframe 2.

[0124] As one of the differences from the existing rear subframe structure, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, a front crossbeam 204 is also provided between the front ends of the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on both sides. Based on the provision of the front crossbeam 204, the front crossbeam 204, the rear subframe crossbeam, and the rear subframe longitudinal beams 201 and outer longitudinal beams 2012 on each side are connected to form multiple ring structures.

[0125] At this point, it is understandable that by setting the front crossbeam 204, the structural strength and rigidity of the front of the rear subframe 2 can be increased. At the same time, the front crossbeam 204, the rear subframe crossbeam, and the inner longitudinal beams 2011 and outer longitudinal beams 2012 on each side are connected to form multiple ring structures. The ring structure can take advantage of its high strength to ensure the overall structural strength and rigidity of the rear subframe 2, which is beneficial to improving the torsional rigidity of the rear of the vehicle.

[0126] Furthermore, through the arrangement of the front crossbeam 204, the battery pack installation space in this embodiment is specifically formed between the front crossbeam 204, the rear crossbeam 104, and the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides. This facilitates the formation of a rigid, encircling structure that conforms to the shape of the battery pack 13, thereby improving the collision safety of the battery pack 13.

[0127] In this embodiment, see still Figure 18 As shown, as another difference from the existing rear subframe structure, a rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 is provided at the rear end of the rear subframe 2, and the rear ends of the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on both sides are also connected to the rear subframe energy absorption box 206. The aforementioned rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 is connected to the rear subframe energy absorption box 206 on both sides to realize the setting at the rear end of the rear subframe 2.

[0128] The aforementioned rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 and each rear subframe energy-absorbing box 206 can adopt the conventional anti-collision beam and energy-absorbing box structure used in existing vehicle bodies. Furthermore, by setting the rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 at the rear end of the rear subframe 2, it can be understood that, on the one hand, it can improve the rear-impact force transmission performance of the rear subframe 2, allowing the collision force to be better transmitted forward along the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 and outer longitudinal beam 2012, avoiding single-position force distribution and excessive deformation. On the other hand, the aforementioned rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 can also serve as a pedestrian anti-pedage crossbeam at the rear of the vehicle, improving safety during reversing.

[0129] By connecting the rear subframe anti-collision beam 205 to the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 through the rear subframe energy absorption box 206, this embodiment can achieve energy absorption through the collapse of the rear subframe energy absorption box 206, which helps to further improve the safety of the vehicle in a rear-end collision.

[0130] In this embodiment, it remains as follows Figure 18As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the middle sections of both outer longitudinal beams 2012 arch upwards along the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the tops of the arched sections of both outer longitudinal beams 2012 can be configured as straight sections arranged along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. This upward arching of the middle sections of the outer longitudinal beams 2012 helps increase the crumple zone energy absorption performance of the outer longitudinal beams 2012 during a collision. Since the tops of the arched sections of the outer longitudinal beams 2012 are straight sections, the rear shock absorber towers 207 on each side are connected to the top of the straight section on the same side. Simultaneously, rear shock absorber spring mounting seats can also be connected to the bottom of the straight sections on each side to facilitate the arrangement of the rear shock absorber springs.

[0131] In this embodiment, it remains as follows Figure 17 As shown, in the left-right direction of the vehicle, based on the connection of the two side connecting longitudinal beams 12 to the front and rear subframes, as a preferred embodiment, the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on each side are also located on the side of the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 that are closer to the outside of the vehicle.

[0132] At this point, the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on each side are as follows: Figure 17 As shown, the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 located on the same side near the outside of the vehicle, in this embodiment, help to achieve changes in the Y-direction cross section of the front and rear parts of the monocoque body, thereby meeting the matching design requirements between the chassis structure 100 and the body frame 200 in the monocoque body.

[0133] In specific implementation, a rear crossbeam 104 is provided at the rear of the front subframe 1, and the front ends of the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides are respectively connected to the ends of the extended sections on the left and right sides of the rear crossbeam 104. At the same time, the rear ends of the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides are respectively connected to the front ends of the longitudinal beams 201 of the rear subframe on both sides.

[0134] Moreover, this embodiment is based on the extended sections on both sides of the rear crossbeam 104, and by combining... Figure 18 As shown, by connecting the longitudinal beams 12 on each side to the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 via the inclined connecting section 13a, the connecting longitudinal beams 12 are positioned on the side of the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201 closer to the outside of the vehicle, thus satisfying the Y-direction (left-right direction) cross-sectional change of the front and rear parts of the monocoque body. Of course, the aforementioned Y-direction cross-sectional change also means that the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on each side are not on a straight line with the front subframe longitudinal beam 101 and the rear subframe longitudinal beam 201, but are bent at the connection point between them, thereby reducing the Y-direction cross-sectional dimension of the body at the front subframe 1 and the rear subframe 2.

[0135] The aforementioned change in the Y-direction section of the front of the vehicle body is fundamentally different from the fact that the Y-direction section of the frame beam in a non-load-bearing vehicle body is basically the same front and back. Moreover, this embodiment satisfies the matching design requirements between the chassis and the body frame in a load-bearing vehicle body by changing the size of the aforementioned Y-direction section of the front of the vehicle body.

[0136] In this embodiment, the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides can be, for example, an integrally formed beam structure, specifically an integral closed structure. In this case, the connecting longitudinal beams 12 can also be connected to the rear crossbeams 104 and the rear subframe longitudinal beams 201 in the front and rear subframes by welding. Thus, it can be understood that by utilizing the closed section, the structural strength of the connecting longitudinal beams 12 can be guaranteed by leveraging the high strength of the cavity structure.

[0137] Of course, in addition to being an integral structure, the connecting longitudinal beam 12 in this embodiment can also adopt other structures, such as a welded steel profile structure, an extruded aluminum alloy profile structure, etc.

[0138] This embodiment of the vehicle, by incorporating the front force transmission structure of Embodiment 1, helps improve the overall vehicle's collision safety. Simultaneously, the connection of the longitudinal beams 12 on both sides links the front and rear subframes, and the rear crossbeam 104, front crossbeam 204, and the connecting longitudinal beams 12 on both sides collectively define the battery pack installation space. This embodiment also utilizes the connecting longitudinal beams 12 to form a ring-shaped frame structure for the battery pack. In a collision, the battery pack 13 can move along with the ring-shaped frame structure, reducing the impact on the battery pack 13 and increasing its collision safety, thereby improving the overall vehicle safety.

[0139] Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, since the front and rear ends of the chassis are still front and rear subframes, the subframe structure has a smaller Y-axis cross-section than the frame in a non-load-bearing body, and the longitudinal beams at the subframe positions use a curved longitudinal beam structure. This makes the chassis structure 100 in this embodiment a structural innovation in the form of a subframe, significantly different from the conventional non-load-bearing frame beam structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the front and rear subframes are still separate units. They are simply the front and rear connecting longitudinal beams 12 added on the basis of the front and rear subframes in a load-bearing body, and are not the integrated beam structure in a non-load-bearing body.

[0140] Of course, in the implementation where the connecting longitudinal beam 12 is connected to the front and rear subframes, it is precisely because of the integrated structure of the front and rear subframes connected by the connecting longitudinal beam 12 that this embodiment can not only utilize the characteristics of the monocoque body structure to reduce the vehicle weight and increase the overall vehicle range, but also form a ring-shaped protective frame for the battery pack to better improve the collision safety of the battery pack 13. Therefore, it not only improves the shortcomings of the monocoque body structure, but also possesses the advantages of the non-monocoque body structure, thus significantly improving the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0141] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vehicle is assembled in the same manner as existing monocoque chassis, with the subframe at the bottom being mounted to the upper body. The upper body frame is the main load-bearing component of the vehicle, and chassis components are also assembled into the body via the front and rear subframes. In the event of a collision, the upper body frame, along with the front and rear subframes and connecting longitudinal beams 12 in the chassis, participate in absorbing and transmitting the collision force, unlike in a non-monocoque chassis where the frame beams alone transmit force and absorb energy.

[0142] Furthermore, based on the integration of the front shock absorber tower 107 and the rear shock absorber tower 207 on the front and rear subframes respectively, this embodiment can also make the overall chassis structure a skateboard-type chassis. And as... Figure 19 As shown in the figure, this embodiment eliminates the influence of the distribution of shock absorber towers in the monocoque body on the body structure, thereby eliminating the need for the front engine compartment longitudinal beam and front engine compartment side beam at the front engine compartment position, as well as the rear floor longitudinal beam at the rear floor position. This allows only the central passenger compartment to be retained in the body 14, making the body design simpler, achieving the effects of body weight reduction and facilitating body styling design.

[0143] When only the central passenger compartment is retained, it should be noted that the front and rear sides of the passenger compartment can be connected to the front and rear subframes via profiles or beams, while the front engine compartment and trunk area at the front and rear of the vehicle can be matched only according to the overall vehicle styling design.

[0144] 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 principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
