Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the rear longitudinal beam of an automobile, and more specifically, relates to a structure for improving the stiffness performance of the rear suspension mounting point of the rear longitudinal beam of an automobile. Background Art

[0002] The road surface load is transmitted into the rear suspension of the automobile through the tire. A part of the load of the rear suspension is transmitted to the vehicle body through the mounting points on the vehicle body side of the rear subframe, and another part of the load is transmitted to the vehicle body through the fixing points of the rear suspension spring on the vehicle body. Considering the diversity of the road surface load and the actual vehicle conditions, the forces on the mounting points on the vehicle body side of the rear suspension are complex and random. Therefore, the structures of the accessories at each mounting point on the vehicle body side of the rear suspension should have high stiffness and strength mechanical properties to meet the handling stability and NVH level of the whole vehicle. The defects of the existing technology are as follows: Defect 1: The rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe itself forms a cavity in space through the rear fixing nut 17 of the subframe, but due to the too large span of the left rear fixing plate of the rear subframe on the right side of the rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe, an effective closed space structure cannot be formed; Defect 2: The rear spring mounting point 9 is directly arranged at the midpoint of the left rear fixing plate of the rear subframe. The designed span itself is large. For the left rear fixing plate of the rear subframe, the rear spring mounting point 9 is arranged at the midpoint of a simply supported beam. It can be known from theoretical mechanics that a similar structure cannot provide sufficient stiffness. Based on the above theoretical analysis, CAE simulation means are used for verification, mainly verifying the dynamic stiffness of the rear spring mounting point and the rear mounting point of the rear subframe. The level of dynamic stiffness can directly reflect the ability of this point to resist dynamic loads. The analysis results are shown in Figure 7 , and the analysis results further confirm that the existing technology cannot meet the high stiffness performance requirements.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a technology with the name of "an integrated vehicle body subframe" and the publication (announcement) number of "CN116946255A". This technology relates to the field of subframes of new energy vehicles and discloses an integrated vehicle body subframe, which is composed of a left longitudinal beam (1), a right longitudinal beam (2), and a rear cross beam (3) connecting the left longitudinal beam (1) and the right longitudinal beam (2). The rear end of the left longitudinal beam (1) is fixedly connected with a left middle tower (4), and the rear end of the right longitudinal beam (2) is fixedly connected with a right middle tower (5). It also includes a suspension bracket (6), and the suspension bracket (6) is fixedly connected with the rear cross beam (3) and the left longitudinal beam (1); mounting holes one (7) for fixing the stabilizer bar are provided on the front end faces of both the left longitudinal beam (1) and the right longitudinal beam (2), and mounting sleeves (8) for fixedly mounting the subframe on the vehicle body are provided on the upper end faces of both the left longitudinal beam (1) and the right longitudinal beam (2). This subframe has the advantages of high strength, light weight, long service life, etc. However, this technology does not involve the technical problems and technical solutions of the present application. Summary of the Invention

When setting the structure, the local structures of the positions of the rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe and the rear spring mounting point 9 are improved. Specifically, firstly, when arranging the rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe, a rear fixing bracket 19 of the rear subframe is added between the rear longitudinal beam 12 and the inner reinforcement plate 16 of the rear longitudinal beam. Finally, a closed cavity is formed by penetrating the rear fixing nut 17 of the subframe. After connecting the rear subframe body 1, the purpose of maximizing the stiffness is achieved, and the overall performance of the vehicle body is improved. Secondly, when arranging the rear spring mounting point 9, a three-layer plate is formed by connecting the rear longitudinal beam 12, the inner reinforcement plate 16 of the rear longitudinal beam, and the rear suspension spring fixing seat 14. The rear spring mounting point 9 is directly arranged at the position of the three-layer plate, avoiding the situation of a simply supported beam and simplifying the structure. Based on the above structure, CAE simulation means are used for verification, mainly verifying the dynamic stiffness of the rear spring mounting point 9 and the rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe. The level of dynamic stiffness can directly reflect the ability of this point to resist dynamic loads. The analysis results are as shown in the attached Figure 6As shown, by comparing with the structure of the prior art, it can be seen that the optimized structure has obvious improvement in the rear spring mounting point 9 and the rear mounting point 10 of the rear subframe. The structure for improving the stiffness performance of the rear suspension mounting point of the vehicle body longitudinal beam in the present invention is simple. Through local structure optimization, the stiffness performance of the rear suspension mounting point of the vehicle body longitudinal beam is effectively improved, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the overall vehicle performance.
