[0011] Optionally, the first cross beam includes a first middle section, a first mounting section and a second mounting section, and the first mounting section and the second mounting section are arranged at two ends of the first middle section in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the first flange and the second flange are overlapped on the upper side and the lower side of the first mounting section, respectively, and the third flange and the fourth flange are overlapped on the upper side and the lower side of the second mounting section, respectively; one end of the first mounting section in the length direction is connected to the first middle section, and the other end extends towards the rear, and one end of the second mounting section in the length direction is connected to the first middle section, and the other end extends towards the rear, and the first mounting section and the second mounting section are respectively provided with a first mounting position, and the first mounting position is used to connect the front subframe and the vehicle body.
[0012] The first mounting position can be arranged at the other end of the first mounting section and the second mounting section, that is, the first mounting position can be located at the rear of the first intermediate section. When the vehicle is in a collision, the first mounting position is arranged at the rear of the first intermediate section, and the first intermediate section can first bear the collision energy in the collision, thereby reducing the risk of the first mounting position being directly impacted, improving the stability of the connection between the front subframe and the vehicle body, and further improving the stability of the vehicle in driving.

Such an evenly distributed design helps to ensure that the connection of the steering system on the front subframe is more stable, and reduces the structural deformation or damage caused by excessive force on a single point.

[0071] With the maturity and development of vehicle technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the control performance and driving stability of vehicles. The front subframe of a vehicle, as an important component of the suspension of a modern vehicle, not only affects the control performance and driving stability of the vehicle, but also relates to the safety and comfort of passengers.
[0072] The front subframe is a key component of the chassis system, which needs to provide installation space and installation points for multiple system layouts, and also needs to transfer force and torque. It is also the link between the frame and the chassis system, and needs to be fully designed for reliability. It needs to meet the requirements of space, strength, stiffness, modal, reliability, NVH, etc. The use of cast aluminum alloy structure has the advantage of weight reduction > 30%, but the cost is high, the development cost is high, the development cycle is long, and the product qualification rate is low. Therefore, the design performance meets the demand, and the front subframe made of high-strength steel with light weight is still the key research direction of the chassis system.
[0073] However, in the related art, the front subframe structure made of high-strength steel is complex, heavy, high in manufacturing cost, and insufficient in stiffness.
[0074] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes a front subframe, which comprises a first longitudinal beam, a second longitudinal beam, a first cross beam and a second cross beam.
[0075] The first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam both extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam are arranged opposite and spaced apart along the left-right direction of the vehicle; the first cross beam extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the first cross beam is connected to the front end of the first longitudinal beam and the front end of the second longitudinal beam; the second cross beam extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second cross beam is connected to the rear end of the first longitudinal beam and the rear end of the second longitudinal beam; wherein the left end of the second cross beam is provided with a first opening, the right end of the second cross beam is provided with a second opening, part of the first longitudinal beam passes through the first opening to extend into the interior of the second cross beam, and part of the second longitudinal beam passes through the second opening to extend into the interior of the second cross beam.
[0076] In the above scheme, at least part of the first longitudinal beam can pass through the first opening, at least part of the first longitudinal beam can be lapped on the left end of the second cross beam, at least part of the second longitudinal beam can pass through the second opening, and at least part of the second longitudinal beam can be lapped on the right end of the second cross beam. In this way, the structural strength of the front subframe can be ensured while reducing unnecessary material use, thereby realizing the lightweight of the front subframe, helping to improve the performance of the vehicle and reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle, and also making the connection of the first longitudinal beam and the second cross beam and the second longitudinal beam and the second cross beam more firm, improving the structural strength and rigidity of the front subframe.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the front subframe 110 includes a first longitudinal beam 120, a second longitudinal beam 130, a first cross beam 140 and a second cross beam 150. The first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 both extend along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, and are arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. The first cross beam 140 extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, and is connected to the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the front end of the second longitudinal beam 130. The second cross beam 150 extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, and is connected to the rear end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the rear end of the second longitudinal beam 130. The left end of the second cross beam 150 is provided with a first opening, and the right end of the second cross beam 150 is provided with a second opening. Part of the first longitudinal beam 120 penetrates through the first opening to extend into the interior of the second cross beam 150, and part of the second longitudinal beam 130 penetrates through the second opening to extend into the interior of the second cross beam 150.
[0082] The length extension direction of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 is parallel to the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, and the length extension direction of the first transverse beam 140 and the second transverse beam 150 is parallel to the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the first transverse beam 140 and the second transverse beam 150 are spaced and oppositely arranged, the first transverse beam 140 is connected with the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 respectively, and the second transverse beam 150 is connected with the rear end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 respectively, forming a solid rectangular frame structure, which enhances the overall rigidity and strength of the front subframe 110 and helps to improve the stability and safety of the vehicle.
[0083] The left end of the second transverse beam 150 is provided with a first opening, and the right end of the second transverse beam 150 is provided with a second opening. Along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, the opening directions of the first opening and the second opening are opposite to each other. It can be understood that the opening directions of the first opening and the second opening are both directed outward. At least part of the first longitudinal beam 120 can pass through the first opening, and at least part of the first longitudinal beam 120 can be lapped on the left end of the second transverse beam 150. At least part of the second longitudinal beam 130 can pass through the second opening, and at least part of the second longitudinal beam 130 can be lapped on the right end of the second transverse beam 150. In this way, the structural strength of the front subframe 110 can be ensured while reducing unnecessary material use, thereby realizing the lightweight of the front subframe 110, which helps to improve the performance of the vehicle and reduce the energy loss of the vehicle.
[0084] Moreover, part of the first longitudinal beam 120 passes through the first opening to extend into the interior of the second transverse beam 150, and part of the second longitudinal beam 130 passes through the second opening to extend into the interior of the second transverse beam 150, so that the connection between each component of the front subframe 110 is more direct and explicit, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency and accuracy in the manufacturing and assembly process, simplifies the assembly steps of the front subframe 110, and reduces the probability of errors in the assembly of the front subframe 110.
[0085] The first longitudinal beam 120 passes through the first opening, and the first longitudinal beam 120 is enveloped by the second transverse beam 150, that is, the upper and lower sides of the first longitudinal beam 120 are respectively abutted or welded with the upper and lower sides of the second transverse beam 150, which increases the contact area of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second transverse beam 150. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the length of the abutment or welding between the second transverse beam 150 and the first longitudinal beam 120 can be one third of the length of the first longitudinal beam 120, which makes the connection between the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second transverse beam 150 more firm, and further improves the structural strength of the front subframe 110.
[0086] Similarly, the second longitudinal beam 130 passes through the second opening, and the second longitudinal beam 130 is enveloped by the second cross beam 150, that is, the upper and lower sides of the second longitudinal beam 130 respectively abut or are welded with the upper and lower sides of the second cross beam 150, and the abutment or welding length of the second cross beam 150 with the second longitudinal beam 130 in the front-rear direction X of the vehicle can be one-third of the length of the second longitudinal beam 130, so that the connection between the second longitudinal beam 130 and the second cross beam 150 is more firm, thereby improving the structural strength of the front subframe 110.
[0087] Since the first longitudinal beam 120 passes through the first opening and the second longitudinal beam 130 passes through the second opening, the first longitudinal beam 120 only needs to be welded or abutted with the upper and lower sides of the first opening, and the second longitudinal beam 130 only needs to be abutted or welded with the upper and lower sides of the second opening, so that the opening of the first opening and the second opening (that is, the position where the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 pass through) can reduce the arrangement of materials, and if the first opening and the second opening are not arranged on the second cross beam 150, the opening of the first opening and the second opening needs to be blocked, which to some extent increases the use of materials.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 has a third opening in the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, and the front end of the second longitudinal beam 130 has a fourth opening, and the first cross beam 140 passes through the third opening to extend into the interior of the first longitudinal beam 120, and the first cross beam 140 passes through the fourth opening to extend into the interior of the second longitudinal beam 130.
[0089] The third opening and the fourth opening are respectively located at the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130, and the openings of the third opening and the fourth opening are both directed towards the front of the vehicle. The first cross beam 140 passes through the third opening and the fourth opening respectively arranged at the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130, and exemplarily, the portion of the first cross beam 140 extending into the first longitudinal beam 120 can be abutted or welded in the first longitudinal beam 120, and the portion of the first cross beam 140 extending into the second longitudinal beam 130 can be abutted or welded in the second longitudinal beam 130, so as to expand the contact area between the first cross beam 140 and the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130, so that a more firm connection is established between the first cross beam 140 and the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130. This connection not only enhances the stability of the front subframe 110 in the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, but also improves the rigidity of the front subframe 110 in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, so that the entire front subframe 110 is more structurally firm and durable, and the dynamic performance of the vehicle during driving is improved, including handling stability, steering response, and ride comfort.
[0090] When the vehicle is in a collision, the front subframe 110 can better absorb and disperse the impact force. The part of the first cross beam 140 extending into the inside of the first and second longitudinal beams 120 and 130 can serve as an additional energy absorption area, reducing the probability of damage to passengers or other components inside the vehicle.
[0091] The first cross beam 140 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 120 through the third opening and to the second longitudinal beam 130 through the fourth opening, which can also save manufacturing materials for the first and second longitudinal beams 120 and 130, reducing the manufacturing cost of the front subframe 110.
[0092] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 includes a first flange 122 and a second flange 123, which are oppositely and spacedly arranged along the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, and define the third opening, the first flange 122 overlaps the upper side of the first cross beam 140, and the second flange 123 overlaps the lower side of the first cross beam 140. The front end of the second longitudinal beam 130 includes a third flange 132 and a fourth flange 133, which are oppositely and spacedly arranged along the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, and define the fourth opening, the third flange 132 overlaps the upper side of the first cross beam 140, and the fourth flange 133 overlaps the lower side of the first cross beam 140.
[0093] The first and second flanges 122 and 123 are both located at the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120, and the projections of the first and second flanges 122 and 123 along the up-down direction Z of the vehicle can coincide, and the first and second flanges 122 and 123 together define the third opening, and the projections of the first and second flanges 122 and 123 along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle do not coincide, it can be understood that the first cross beam 140 can enter the third opening from the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. The first flange 122 is welded to the upper side of the first cross beam 140, and the second flange 123 can be welded to the lower side of the first cross beam 140, so that the first cross beam 140 is more firmly connected to the first longitudinal beam 120.
[0094] The third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 are both located at the front end of the second longitudinal beam 130, and the projections of the third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 can coincide in the up-down direction Z of the vehicle. The third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 jointly define a fourth opening, and the projections of the third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 do not coincide in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. It can be understood that the first cross beam 140 can enter the fourth opening from the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. The third flange 132 is welded to the upper side of the first cross beam 140, and the fourth flange 133 can be welded to the lower side of the first cross beam 140, so that the first cross beam 140 is more firmly connected with the second longitudinal beam 130.
[0095] The design of the first flange 122, the second flange 123, the third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 increases the connection area of the first cross beam 140 with the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 respectively, so that the connection between the first cross beam 140 and the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 becomes more stable. In addition, the lap joint of the upper and lower flanges forms a more stable connection structure.
[0096] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 10 In the present embodiment, the first cross beam 140 includes a first intermediate section 141, a first mounting section 142 and a second mounting section 143. The first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first intermediate section 141 in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. The first flange 122 and the second flange 123 are respectively lap-jointed to the upper side and the lower side of the first mounting section 142. The third flange 132 and the fourth flange 133 are respectively lap-jointed to the upper side and the lower side of the second mounting section 143. The first mounting section 142 is connected to the first intermediate section 141 at one end in the length direction thereof and extends towards the rear at the other end. The second mounting section 143 is connected to the first intermediate section 141 at one end in the length direction thereof and extends towards the rear at the other end. The first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 are respectively provided with first mounting positions 160 for connecting the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100.
[0097] The first intermediate section 141 is located in front of the first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, and the projections of the first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 coincide along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, that is, the first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 can be symmetrically arranged at both ends of the first intermediate section 141. The first mounting section 142 is connected with the first longitudinal beam 120, and the second mounting section 143 is connected with the second longitudinal beam 130. The first flange 122 is located above the second flange 123 along the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, and the third flange 132 is located above the fourth flange 133. Therefore, the first flange 122 is overlapped on the upper side of the first mounting section 142, the second flange 123 is overlapped on the lower side of the first mounting section 142, the third flange 132 is overlapped on the upper side of the second mounting section 143, and the fourth flange 133 is overlapped on the lower side of the second mounting section 143. The overlapping manner can be welding or other connection manner, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the overlapping manner.
[0098] Along the length direction of the first mounting section 142, one end of the first mounting section 142 is connected to the first intermediate section 141, and the other end of the first mounting section 142 extends towards the rear of the vehicle. It can be understood that the other end of the first mounting section 142 is located behind the first intermediate section 141. Similarly, along the length direction of the second mounting section 143, one end of the second mounting section 143 is connected to the first intermediate section 141, and the other end of the second mounting section 143 extends towards the rear of the vehicle. The other end of the second mounting section 143 is located behind the first intermediate section 141.
[0099] The first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143 are both provided with the first mounting position 160, and the vehicle body 100 and the front subframe 110 are connected through the first mounting position 160. Specifically, the first mounting position 160 can be arranged at the other end of the first mounting section 142 and the second mounting section 143, that is, the first mounting position 160 can be located behind the first intermediate section 141. In this way, when the vehicle collides, the first mounting position 160 is arranged behind the first intermediate section 141, and the first intermediate section 141 can first bear the collision energy absorption during the collision, thereby reducing the risk of the first mounting position 160 being directly impacted, improving the stability of the connection between the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100, and further improving the stability of the vehicle during driving.
[0100] In some embodiments, the first cross beam 140, the second cross beam 150, the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 can be welded by an upper high-strength steel sheet 280 and a lower high-strength steel sheet 290. The first intermediate section 141 is also welded by an upper high-strength steel sheet and a lower high-strength steel sheet. It can be understood that increasing the space of the first intermediate section 141 in the up-down direction Z of the vehicle can increase the energy absorption area of the first intermediate section 141 and improve the collision energy absorption space of the first intermediate section 141 when the first intermediate section 141 is subjected to collision and impact, thereby further reducing the probability of damage to the first mounting position 160 during collision and improving the safety of the vehicle.
[0101] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the front subframe 110 further comprises a second mounting position 170 and a third mounting position 180, both of which are used to connect the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100. The second mounting position 170 is two and is arranged on the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130, respectively. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the second mounting position 170 is located between the first cross beam 140 and the second cross beam 150. The third mounting position 180 is two and is arranged at the rear end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the rear end of the second longitudinal beam 130, respectively. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the second mounting position 170 is located in front of the third mounting position 180.
[0102] The second mounting position 170 and the third mounting position 180 are also used to connect the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100. The second mounting position 170 is two and is arranged on the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130. The second mounting position 170 is located between the first cross beam 140 and the second cross beam 150. The third mounting position 180 is arranged at the rear end of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130. The third mounting position 180 can be arranged at the rear side of the second cross beam 150. Such a layout can ensure that the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100 are connected at multiple points. Multiple-point connection not only improves the stability of the connection and reduces the overall structural looseness or deformation caused by single-point failure, but also more effectively disperses the impact force during collision, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.
[0103] The arrangement of the second mounting position 170 and the third mounting position 180 helps to optimize the mechanical transmission path. During vehicle driving, especially in dynamic conditions such as turning, accelerating or braking, the front subframe 110 will be subjected to complex forces from the wheels and the suspension system. Through multiple-point connection, these forces can be more evenly distributed to the vehicle body 100, reducing local stress concentration and prolonging the service life of the components.
[0104] The arrangement of the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180 makes the assembly process of the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100 more flexible. The appropriate mounting points can be selected for connection according to actual needs to meet different vehicle design and performance requirements. At the same time, the multi-point connection also helps to improve the assembly accuracy and ensure the relative position between the front subframe 110 and the vehicle body 100 is accurate.
[0105] In some embodiments, the length of the abutment or welding between the second cross beam 150 and the first longitudinal beam 120 can be one third of the first longitudinal beam 120. In this way, the distance between the second cross beam 150 and the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180 can be closer, and the structural strength at the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180 is enhanced, providing more reliable support for the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180.
[0106] The length of the abutment or welding between the second cross beam 150 and the second longitudinal beam 130 can be one third of the second longitudinal beam 130. In this way, the distance between the second cross beam 150 and the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180 can be closer, and the structural strength at the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180 is enhanced, providing more reliable support for the second mounting point 170 and the third mounting point 180.
[0107] In some embodiments, the length of the abutment or welding between the second cross beam 150 and the first longitudinal beam 120 can be one third of the first longitudinal beam 120, and the length of the abutment or welding between the second cross beam 150 and the second longitudinal beam 130 can be one third of the second longitudinal beam 130. In this way, the distance between the second cross beam 150 and the first rear control arm bracket 240 and the second rear control arm bracket 250 can be closer, providing stable support for the first rear control arm and the second rear control arm.
[0108] Please refer to Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the front subframe 110 further comprises a plurality of steering mounting points, each of which is used to connect the front subframe 110 and a steering system, and each of which is arranged on the second cross beam 150.
[0109] The steering mounting points are used to connect the front subframe 110 and the steering system. By arranging a plurality of steering mounting points on the second cross beam 150, on the one hand, the structure design of the front subframe 110 can be simplified, and the connection of the steering system can be more concentrated and efficient. This layout helps to reduce unnecessary connecting parts and assembly steps, and improves production efficiency. On the other hand, by arranging a plurality of steering mounting points on the second cross beam 150, it helps to reduce maintenance time and cost when the steering system is repaired or replaced, and improves the availability and reliability of the vehicle.
[0110] Moreover, the multiple steering mounting positions are centrally arranged on the second cross beam 150, which can enhance the rigidity of the second cross beam 150, thereby enhancing the resistance to the force and torque from the steering system, reducing the deformation and wear of the front subframe 110, and prolonging the service life of the front subframe 110.
[0111] For reference Figure 2 In the embodiment, the multiple steering mounting positions include a first steering mounting position 190, a second steering mounting position 191, and a third steering mounting position 192. The first steering mounting position 190 is located at the left end of the second cross beam 150, and the third steering mounting position 192 is located at the right end of the second cross beam 150. In the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the third steering mounting position 192 is located in front of the first steering mounting position 190 and the second steering mounting position 191, and in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, the third steering mounting position 192 is located between the first steering mounting position 190 and the second steering mounting position 191.
[0112] The first steering mounting position 190 is located at the left end of the second steering mounting position 191, and the third steering mounting position 192 is located at the right end of the second steering mounting position 191. In the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, the first steering mounting position 190, the second steering mounting position 191, and the third steering mounting position 192 are arranged in an equidistant manner. This balanced distribution design helps to ensure that the connection of the steering system on the front subframe 110 is more stable, and reduces the structural deformation or damage caused by excessive force on a single point.
[0113] For reference Figure 2 In the embodiment, in the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, the projection of the first steering mounting position 190 falls on the first longitudinal beam 120, and the projection of the third steering mounting position 192 falls on the second longitudinal beam 130.
[0114] For example, the first steering mounting position 190, the second steering mounting position 191, and the third steering mounting position 192 can be configured as a sleeve structure. As a kind of mechanical part, the sleeve structure has the characteristics of simple structure, easy manufacturing, and wear resistance, can provide firm connection, and ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the steering system and the front subframe 110. This structure can effectively resist the impact and vibration from the road surface, prevent the loosening or damage of the connecting parts, thereby improving the driving safety and stability of the vehicle.
[0115] In the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, the projection of the first steering mounting site 190 falls on the first longitudinal beam 120, for example, the first steering mounting site 190 can penetrate the second cross beam 150 and the first longitudinal beam 120, and in the same way, in the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, the projection of the second steering mounting site 191 can fall on the second longitudinal beam 130, that is, the sleeve structure of the first mounting site 160 can be embedded in the second cross beam 150 and the first longitudinal beam 120, and the sleeve structure of the second mounting site 170 can be embedded in the second cross beam 150 and the second longitudinal beam 130, so as to connect the cross beam and the longitudinal beam in one body, provide high mounting rigidity, the overall layout structure is stable, good in strength, meets the stability and reliability requirements of the steering system, does not need additional mounting brackets to provide mounting points for the steering machine, reduces the number of parts and welding, has a good lightweight effect, and improves the connection strength of the front subframe 110.
[0116] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In the embodiment, the front subframe 110 further comprises a first suspension bracket 200 and a second suspension bracket 210, and in the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the second cross beam 150 has a first side surface 153 facing the first cross beam 140, and the first suspension bracket 200 is mounted on the first side surface 153, and the second suspension bracket 210 is mounted on the first side surface 153 and the first longitudinal beam 120.
[0117] The first suspension bracket 200 and the second suspension bracket 210 provide suspension mounting points for the power system, and in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, the first suspension bracket 200 is arranged to the right of the second suspension bracket 210, and the second suspension bracket 210 is arranged to the left of the first suspension bracket 200. The first suspension bracket 200 is mounted on the first side surface 153, for example, the first suspension bracket 200 can be welded to the first side surface 153, and the first suspension bracket 200 can also be welded to the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the second cross beam 150.
[0118] The second suspension bracket 210 is mounted on the first side surface 153, and the second suspension bracket 210 can be welded to the first side surface 153, and the second suspension bracket 210 can also be welded to the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the second cross beam 150. At the same time, the second suspension bracket 210 can also be welded to the first longitudinal beam 120, which can weld the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second cross beam 150 together, further improve the connection stability of the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second cross beam 150, improve the utilization rate of materials, and improve the structural strength of the front subframe 110.

[0121] By connecting the first front control arm support 220 to the first mounting section 142 and the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120, and connecting the second front control arm support 230 to the second mounting section 143 and the front end of the second longitudinal beam 130, the overall structural rigidity of the front subframe 110 is enhanced. At least part of the first front control arm support 220 and the second front control arm support 230 are located between the first cross beam 140 and the second cross beam 150, and between the longitudinal beams in the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, not only enhancing the structural strength, but also effectively utilizing the limited space at the bottom of the vehicle, helping to optimize the overall layout of the vehicle, making the structure of the front subframe 110 more compact, and improving the rigidity of the front subframe 110.
[0122] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In the embodiment, the first front control arm support 220 is provided with two first holes 221, the front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 is provided with one first hole 221, the second front control arm support 230 is provided with two second holes 231, and the front end of the second longitudinal beam 130 is provided with one second hole 231, the first hole 221 is used to connect the first front control arm, and the second hole 231 is used to connect the second front control arm.
[0123] The first hole 221 is used for penetrating a bolt structure, and the first front control arm bracket 220 and the second front control arm bracket 230 are connected with the front control arm through bolt connection. The arrangement of multiple first holes 221 can enhance the stability of the connection between the front subframe 110 and the front control arm. The front end of the first longitudinal beam 120 is provided with a first hole 221, and the first hole 221 is supported by the first longitudinal beam 120, which is structurally stable and reliable. Two second holes 231 are arranged on the first front control arm bracket 220 to provide mounting points for the front control arm. The arrangement of multiple first holes 221 also helps to improve the connection accuracy. By accurately aligning and fixing these hole positions, the connection between the control arm bracket and the longitudinal beam can be more stable, and the performance decline or safety hazards caused by installation errors can be reduced.
[0124] In some embodiments, the hard point refers to a connection point position between parts in the design of the automobile chassis (especially the suspension system), which is fixed in space. The position of these points is determined by the overall design layout and performance requirements of the automobile. According to the hard point position of the front control arm, the first front control arm bracket 220 and the second front control arm bracket 230 are arranged below the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 in the up-down direction Z of the vehicle, so that the first longitudinal beam 120 and the second longitudinal beam 130 are maximized close to the hard point of the front control arm. The first front control arm bracket 220 is connected to the triangular area at the connection between the first longitudinal beam 120 and the first transverse beam 140, so that the connection between the first control arm bracket 220 and the first longitudinal beam 120 and the first transverse beam 140 is more stable. The second front control arm bracket 230 is connected to the triangular area at the connection between the second longitudinal beam 130 and the first transverse beam 140, so that the connection between the second front control arm bracket 230 and the second longitudinal beam 130 and the first transverse beam 140 is more stable.
