The number of cars has increased year by year, and more and more people have private cars. The popularity of cars has brought development to the manufacturing and design of auto parts.
[0003] The frame structure is one of the important components of a car. In existing technical solutions, a large number of sheet metal parts are often used for welding and other operations to form the frame structure. However, this formation method has a long process, which leads to a longer vehicle manufacturing cycle. In addition, the accumulated manufacturing errors of a large number of parts are large, and it is difficult to adapt to the rapid iteration rhythm of vehicles in terms of manufacturing efficiency and manufacturing quality. Summary of the invention

Therefore, by forming the storage space and the installation space in the middle cabin at the same time, it is convenient to install the vehicle-mounted components with the frame, and it is also convenient to integrate the battery cells on the frame.

[0045] Vehicles are commonly used means of transportation. The amount of materials used in a vehicle is directly related to the cost and weight of the vehicle. The weight of a vehicle is directly related to its energy consumption. The heavier the vehicle, the more energy it consumes when driving. Especially for new energy vehicles, since new energy vehicles often need to be equipped with a large number of batteries, which are generally heavy and take up a large space on the chassis, it is particularly important to reduce the weight of the vehicle and reduce the space occupied by the chassis.
[0046] Based on this, the present application provides a vehicle, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle according to one or more embodiments.
[0047] The vehicle 1 may be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or an extended range vehicle, etc. The vehicle 1 may include a frame assembly 2 and a vehicle-mounted component 3, the vehicle-mounted component 3 may serve as the upper body of the vehicle 1, the frame assembly 2 may serve as the lower body of the vehicle 1, and the vehicle-mounted component 3 may be mounted on the frame assembly 2 to form the vehicle 1. Specifically, the frame assembly 2 may include but is not limited to a chassis, and the vehicle-mounted component 3 may include but is not limited to a vehicle body, which is mounted on the chassis and supported by the chassis.
[0048] The present application provides a frame assembly 2, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a frame assembly according to one or more embodiments.
[0049] The frame assembly 2 includes a battery component and a frame 10, and the battery component is arranged in the middle cabin 100 of the frame 10. The frame 10 may include a front cabin 200, a middle cabin 100 and a rear cabin 300. Specifically, the frame 10 is installed in the vehicle 1. When the vehicle 1 moves forward, the frame 10 can be divided into three parts in sequence along the moving direction. The front part of the frame 10 is the front cabin 200, the middle part of the frame 10 is the middle cabin 100, and the rear part of the frame 10 is the rear cabin 300. The front cabin 200 can be connected to the front axle, etc., the rear cabin 300 can be connected to the rear axle, etc., and the middle cabin 100 can be installed with the interior structure of the vehicle 1, such as the seat.
[0050] The battery component may include one or more battery cells 20. When there are multiple battery cells 20, the multiple battery cells 20 together form a battery module and are loaded into the middle cabin 100. The multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection. Mixed connection means that the multiple battery cells 20 are both connected in series and in parallel. The multiple battery cells 20 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection, and then the whole formed by the multiple battery cells 20 is loaded into the middle cabin 100.
[0051] The manufacturing methods of the battery cell 20 include stacking and winding, that is, the battery cell 20 is divided into stacking cells and winding cells. The stacking battery has a uniform current collection effect, a small internal resistance of the battery, and a large specific power, but in order to improve the precision, the mold precision is extremely high, the equipment investment is high, and the process is relatively complex, and the production efficiency is low. The winding battery is simple to make, and the equipment precision requirements for the production and assembly process are general, the production efficiency is high, and the cost is low. In terms of performance, the winding battery has excellent high and low temperature performance, charges very quickly, has an ultra-long life, a stable high output voltage, a solid structure, and strong shock resistance.
[0052] When the battery components are installed in the middle cabin 100, the cover plate 30 can be used to seal and protect the battery components in cooperation with the middle cabin 100. In this embodiment, the frame assembly 2 can be applied to the CTC (Cell to Chassis) process, that is, the battery components are directly integrated into the frame 10. The CTC process can further deepen the integration of the battery system and the chassis of the vehicle 1, reduce the number of components, increase the space occupancy rate of the battery components, increase the battery capacity per unit space, and increase the driving range; at the same time, the CTC process can integrate the battery with the chassis, enhance the structural strength of the chassis, and improve the safety of the vehicle.
[0053] The frame 10 structure is one of the important components of the automobile. In relevant technical solutions, a large number of sheet metal parts are often used for welding and other operations to form the frame 10 chassis structure. However, the process of this formation method is relatively long, which leads to a longer vehicle manufacturing cycle, and the accumulated manufacturing errors of a large number of parts are large, which makes it difficult to adapt to the rapid iteration rhythm of the vehicle 1 in terms of manufacturing efficiency and manufacturing quality.
[0054] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the related art, the present application provides a frame, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle frame according to one or more embodiments. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the frame shown.
[0055] The vehicle frame 10 includes a front cabin 200, a rear cabin 300 and a middle cabin 100. The front cabin 200 is integrally formed, the rear cabin 300 is integrally formed, and the middle cabin 100 is integrally formed. In the length direction X of the middle cabin 100, the front cabin 200 and the rear cabin 300 are located on both sides of the middle cabin 100, and the middle cabin 100 is respectively connected to the front cabin 200 and the rear cabin 300. When the vehicle frame 10 is installed on a vehicle, the vehicle moves forward in the direction of the length direction X of the middle cabin 100.
[0056] The front cabin body 200, the rear cabin body 300 and the middle cabin body 100 can be formed by integral die casting, thereby replacing the scheme of welding a large number of sheet metal parts to form the front cabin body 200, the rear cabin body 300 and the middle cabin body 100 respectively, and can alleviate the risk of large manufacturing errors accumulated by a large number of parts. For example, the beam structure, shock tower, force transmission ribs, etc. of the front cabin can be integrally formed into the front cabin body 200 by integral die casting, and the beam structure, shock tower, force transmission ribs, etc. of the rear cabin can be integrally formed into the rear cabin body 300 by integral die casting, and the beam structure, force transmission ribs, etc. of the middle cabin can be integrally formed into the middle cabin body 100 by integral die casting.
[0057] The front cabin 200 may be fixedly connected to the middle cabin 100 or detachably connected, for example, the front cabin 200 may be detachably connected to the middle cabin 100 by threaded connection, or the front cabin 200 may be fixedly connected to the middle cabin 100 by welding, etc. Similarly, the rear cabin 300 may be fixedly connected to the middle cabin 100 or detachably connected, for example, the rear cabin 300 may be detachably connected to the middle cabin 100 by threaded connection, or the rear cabin 300 may be fixedly connected to the middle cabin 100 by welding, etc.
[0058] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, the front cabin 200, the middle cabin 100 and the rear cabin 300 are all formed in one piece, and the manufacturing efficiency of the front cabin 200, the middle cabin 100 and the rear cabin 300 can be improved through an integrated setting mode, and the number of parts of the frame 10 can be reduced, thereby reducing the welding, riveting and other assembly processes in the manufacturing process, improving production efficiency, and also improving the structural strength of the front cabin 200, the middle cabin 100 and the rear cabin 300. The middle cabin 100 is respectively connected to the front cabin 200 and the rear cabin 300 to form the frame 10, which can shorten the production process chain, is conducive to the flexible layout of the production workshop, and can further reduce the risk of manufacturing errors compared to the solution of assembling and forming with more parts, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the whole vehicle.
[0059] Specifically, by integrating the front cabin 200, the middle cabin 100 and the rear cabin 300, and connecting the three to form the frame 10, the integrated design strategy can be applied to the extreme, the strength of the structural body can be maximized, and the overlapping redundancy can be reduced, which can significantly reduce the weight compared with the sheet metal frame 10 of the same structure. At the same time, the combination of the integrated die-cast front cabin 200, the middle cabin 100 and the rear cabin 300 can significantly reduce the bonding area of the structural glue and the sealant, and reduce the sealing problems such as wading and leakage caused by the cumulative error and poor assembly accuracy after the battery is assembled.
[0060] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The frame shown is a schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the AA direction.
[0061] The middle cabin 100 is formed with a receiving space 400 and an installation space 500. In the height direction Z of the middle cabin 100, the opening of the installation space 500 and the opening of the receiving space 400 are arranged opposite to each other. The receiving space 400 is used to accommodate battery cells, and the installation space 500 is used to install vehicle-mounted components. When the frame 10 is installed on the vehicle, the direction of the vehicle perpendicular to the ground can be understood as the height direction Z. The installation space 500 and the receiving space 400 can be separated by a panel of the middle cabin 100. The opening of the installation space 500 and the opening of the receiving space 400 are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, the opening of the receiving space 400 can face the ground, and the opening of the installation space 500 can face away from the ground, which can facilitate the installation of battery cells from the opening of the receiving space 400 into the receiving space 400, and facilitate the installation of vehicle-mounted components from the opening of the installation space 500 into the installation space 500. Among them, the vehicle-mounted components may include but are not limited to interior structures such as seats. There can be multiple battery cells, which together form a battery module and are loaded into the middle cabin 100, so that the frame 10 is suitable for the CTC process. Compared with the traditional battery pack process, the battery cells can be integrated on the frame 10, further reducing the number of parts, saving space, and improving structural efficiency. The vehicle weight can be greatly reduced, and the battery life can be increased.
[0062] Further, the middle cabin body 100 includes a middle cabin panel 110 and an enclosure structure 120, the middle cabin panel 110 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 disposed opposite to each other in the height direction Z, the enclosure structure 120 protrudes from the first surface 111 in the height direction Z to form an installation space 500, and the enclosure structure 120 protrudes from the second surface 112 in the height direction Z to form an accommodation space 400.

[0063] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 yes Figure 3A schematic diagram of the structure of the frame shown in FIG. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure within the dotted frame in the frame shown.
[0064] The enclosure structure 120 includes two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121, which extend along the length direction X, are connected to both sides of the middle cabin panel 110 in the width direction Y of the middle cabin body 100, and protrude from the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 in the height direction Z. The width direction Y of the middle cabin body 100, the length direction X of the middle cabin body 100, and the height direction Z of the middle cabin body 100 are perpendicular to each other. The middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 are connected to both sides of the middle cabin panel 110 in the width direction Y of the middle cabin body 100, and the two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 can better fix and protect the middle cabin panel 110, making it easier to form the accommodation space 400 and the installation space 500. The number of the middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of the middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 can be three. Two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 are adjacently arranged in the width direction Y and are connected to one side of the middle cabin panel 110 at the same time. Another middle cabin longitudinal beam 121 is spaced apart from the two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 in the width direction Y and is connected to the other side of the middle cabin panel 110.
[0065] The middle cabin body 100 can be connected to the front cabin body 200 and the rear cabin body 300 respectively through the middle cabin panel 110 and the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121, and the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121 extends along the length direction X, and the impact force on the frame 10 can be dispersed and transmitted through the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121. Figure 6 As shown, the dashed arrows represent the impact force received by the vehicle frame 10. When the vehicle frame 10 receives the impact force from the front cabin 200, the impact force will be guided by the front cabin 200 to the middle cabin 100, and the impact force will be guided to the rear cabin 300 through the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121; when the vehicle frame 10 receives the impact force from the rear cabin 300, the impact force will be guided by the rear cabin 300 to the middle cabin 100, and the impact force will be guided to the front cabin 200 through the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121. Therefore, the two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 extend along the length direction X, and the impact force received by the vehicle frame 10 from different directions can be transmitted and dispersed through the two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121, so as to achieve the collision energy absorption effect.
[0066] In some embodiments, the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121 includes two longitudinal plates 1211 and a first force transmission rib 1212. The two longitudinal plates 1211 extend along the length direction X respectively, and the two longitudinal plates 1211 are arranged at intervals in the width direction Y. The first force transmission rib 1212 is connected between the two longitudinal plates 1211. One of the two longitudinal plates 1211 can be connected to the middle cabin panel 110, and the two longitudinal beam plates are connected to each other through the first force transmission rib 1212. The first force transmission rib 1212 can be used to guide the impact force received by the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121. Therefore, the first force transmission rib 1212 is connected between the two longitudinal plates 1211, and the first force transmission rib 1212 can be fixed well through the longitudinal plates 1211. In addition, the first force transmission rib 1212 can also assist in transmitting and dispersing the impact force received by the frame 10 from different directions, thereby further achieving the collision energy absorption effect.
[0067] Furthermore, there are multiple first force transmission ribs 1212 , and the multiple first force transmission ribs 1212 are sequentially connected along the length direction X, and each first force transmission rib 1212 is inclined relative to the longitudinal plate body 1211 . Each first force transmission rib 1212 can be connected to two longitudinal plates 1211 at the same time, and the two ends of the first force transmission rib 1212 in the middle position can be connected to the two adjacent first force transmission ribs 1212 respectively. For example, the first end of the second first force transmission rib 1212 is simultaneously connected to the second end of the first first force transmission rib 1212 and a longitudinal plate 1211, and the second end of the second first force transmission rib 1212 is simultaneously connected to the first end of the third first force transmission rib 1212 and another longitudinal plate 1211; the second end of the third first force transmission rib 1212 is simultaneously connected to the first end of the fourth first force transmission rib 1212 and a longitudinal plate 1211, so that the two adjacent first force transmission ribs 1212 and the longitudinal plate 1211 form a triangle shape, and so on. Multiple triangles can be formed by cooperating with multiple first force transmission ribs 1212 and two longitudinal plates 1211. Thus, the plurality of first force transmission ribs 1212 are sequentially connected along the length direction X, and the impact force received by the front cabin 200 can be transmitted to the rear cabin 300 through the first force transmission ribs 1212, and finally the transmission and dispersion of the impact force is achieved, and the collision energy absorption effect is further improved. In some embodiments, the angle between the connection of two adjacent first force transmission ribs 1212 is an acute angle, so that the triangle formed by the two adjacent first force transmission ribs 1212 and the two longitudinal plates 1211 is an acute triangle, which can improve the force transmission effect of the first force transmission ribs 1212 while also improving the structural stability of the first force transmission ribs 1212 themselves. Alternatively, the triangle formed by the two adjacent first force transmission ribs 1212 and the two longitudinal plates 1211 is an obtuse triangle.
[0068] In some embodiments, the middle cabin body 100 further includes a middle cabin cross beam 130, which is extended along the width direction Y of the middle cabin body 100, and is located on the first surface 111 and connected to the enclosure structure 120. The middle cabin cross beam 130 can be fixed to the first surface 111, and both ends of the middle cabin cross beam 130 in the width direction Y can be connected to the enclosure structure 120 respectively. Specifically, when the enclosure structure 120 includes two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121, the two ends of the middle cabin cross beam 130 can be connected to the two middle cabin longitudinal beams 121 respectively. Therefore, the middle cabin cross beam 130 can play a better role in fixing and protecting the middle cabin panel 110.
[0069] The middle cabin body 100 can be connected to the front cabin body 200 and the rear cabin body 300 respectively through the middle cabin panel 110 and the enclosure structure 120, and the impact force on the frame 10 can be dispersed and transmitted through the enclosure structure 120 and the middle cabin cross beam 130. Figure 6 As shown, the dashed arrows represent the impact force received by the vehicle frame 10. When the vehicle frame 10 receives the impact force from the front cabin 200, the impact force will be guided by the front cabin 200 to the middle cabin 100, and the impact force will be guided to the rear cabin 300 and the middle cabin cross beam 130 through the enclosure structure 120; when the vehicle frame 10 receives the impact force from the rear cabin 300, the impact force will be guided by the rear cabin 300 to the middle cabin 100, and the impact force will be guided to the front cabin 200 and the middle cabin cross beam 130 through the enclosure structure 120. In this way, the impact force received by the vehicle frame 10 from different directions can be transmitted and dispersed through the middle cabin cross beam 130, so as to achieve the collision energy absorption effect.
[0070] Furthermore, there are multiple middle cabin cross beams 130, and multiple middle cabin cross beams 130 are arranged at intervals along the length direction X. The number of middle cabin cross beams 130 can be set according to actual conditions, and multiple middle cabin cross beams 130 can be arranged at equal intervals, or arranged according to actual predicted force conditions, etc. Therefore, by setting multiple middle cabin cross beams 130, the middle cabin panel 110 can be better fixed and protected by the middle cabin cross beams 130, and the impact force received by the frame 10 from different directions can be transmitted and dispersed to achieve the collision energy absorption effect.
[0071] Optionally, the middle cabin cross beam 130 includes two transverse plates 131 and a second force transmission rib 132, the two transverse plates 131 extend respectively in the width direction Y, the two transverse plates 131 are spaced apart in the length direction X, and the second force transmission rib 132 is connected between the two transverse plates 131. The two transverse plates 131 may both be connected to the middle cabin panel 110, the second force transmission rib 132 may be connected to the two transverse plates 131 and the middle cabin panel 110 at the same time, or the second force transmission rib 132 may be connected to the two transverse plates 131 and spaced apart from the middle cabin panel 110. Thus, the second force transmission rib 132 is connected between the two transverse plates 131, and the second force transmission rib 132 can be fixed well by the transverse plates 131, and the second force transmission rib 132 can also assist in transmitting and dispersing the impact force received by the frame 10 from different directions, thereby further achieving the collision energy absorption effect.
[0072] Furthermore, there are multiple second force transmission ribs 132, and the multiple second force transmission ribs 132 are connected in sequence along the width direction Y, and each second force transmission rib 132 is inclined relative to the transverse plate 131. Each second force transmission rib 132 can be connected to two transverse plates 131 at the same time, and the two ends of the second force transmission rib 132 at the middle position can be connected to two adjacent second force transmission ribs 132 respectively, for example, the first end of the second second force transmission rib 132 is simultaneously connected to the second end of the first second force transmission rib 132 and a transverse plate 131, and the second end of the second second force transmission rib 132 is simultaneously connected to the first end of the third second force transmission rib 132 and another transverse plate 131; the second end of the third second force transmission rib 132 is simultaneously connected to the first end of the fourth second force transmission rib 132 and a transverse plate 131, so that the two adjacent second force transmission ribs 132 and the transverse plate 131 form a triangle shape, and so on, multiple triangles can be formed by the cooperation of multiple second force transmission ribs 132 and two transverse plates 131. Thus, the plurality of second force transmission ribs 132 are sequentially connected along the length direction X, and the impact force received by the front cabin 200 can be transmitted to the rear cabin 300 through the second force transmission ribs 132, and finally the transmission and dispersion of the impact force is achieved, and the collision energy absorption effect is further improved. In some embodiments, the angle between the connection of two adjacent second force transmission ribs 132 is an acute angle, so that the triangle formed by the two adjacent second force transmission ribs 132 and the two transverse plates 131 is an acute triangle, which can improve the force transmission effect of the second force transmission ribs 132 while also improving the structural stability of the second force transmission ribs 132 themselves. Alternatively, the triangle formed by the two adjacent second force transmission ribs 132 and the two transverse plates 131 is an obtuse triangle.

Specifically, the middle cabin panel 110, the enclosure structure 120, the two longitudinal plates 1211 and the first force transmission rib 1212 of the middle cabin longitudinal beam 121, and the two transverse plates 131 and the second force transmission rib 132 of the middle cabin cross beam 130 are integrally die-cast. Thus, the overall structural strength of the middle cabin body 100 can be improved, and the production efficiency of the middle cabin body 100 can be improved. In addition, the integral die-casting can further transmit and disperse the impact force received by the frame 10 from different directions, thereby improving the collision energy absorption effect.
