Detailed implementation manners

[0025] An embodiment of the present invention provides a stepped full-frame front subframe, as Figures 1-6 shown, including the first longitudinal beam 11, the second longitudinal beam 12, the third longitudinal beam 13, the first cross beam 14, the first sleeve 15, the second sleeve 16, the limit seat 17, the first opening 18, the first elastic member 20, the first sliding link 21, the front arm bracket 22, the first slot 23, the rear rotating arm 24, the second opening 25, the first limit rod 26, the second cross beam 27, the third sleeve base 28, the third sleeve 29, the first cavity 30, the first sealing slide plate 31, the second sealing slide plate 32, the third buffer plate 33, the fourth buffer plate 34, the second cavity 35, the third cavity 36, the third opening 37, the flow limiting groove 38, the second limit rod 39, the limit plate 40, the flow limiting plate 41, the second elastic member 42, and the fourth cavity 43.

[0026] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the buffer rod group includes a first longitudinal beam 11, a second longitudinal beam 12 and a third longitudinal beam 13. One end of the first longitudinal beam 11 is slidably connected to the second longitudinal beam 12, and the other end of the first longitudinal beam 11 is slidably connected to the third longitudinal beam 13. A first buffer assembly is provided at one end of the first longitudinal beam 11 close to the second longitudinal beam 12, and a second buffer assembly is provided at one end of the first longitudinal beam 11 close to the third longitudinal beam 13. A first cross beam 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the third longitudinal beam 13 away from the first longitudinal beam 11. A forearm bracket 22 is slidably connected to the first cross beam 14. The end of the second longitudinal beam 12 away from the first longitudinal beam 11 is rotatably connected to a rear rotating arm 24. Both ends of a second cross beam 27 are fixedly connected to the two rear rotating arms 24 respectively.

[0027] The first buffer assembly includes a third buffer plate 33 and a fourth buffer plate 34. A first buffer cavity is opened at one end of the first longitudinal beam 11 close to the second longitudinal beam 12. The third buffer plate 33 is fixedly connected in the first buffer cavity. A third opening 37 is opened on the third buffer plate 33. A fourth buffer plate 34 is slidably connected in the first buffer cavity. A second sealing slide plate 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the second longitudinal beam 12 close to the first longitudinal beam 11. A second cavity 35 is defined by the second sealing slide plate 32 and the fourth buffer plate 34. A third cavity 36 is defined by the fourth buffer plate 34 and the first longitudinal beam 11. The second cavity 35 is filled with damping oil, and the third cavity 36 is filled with inert gas.

[0028] One end of the third buffer plate 33 close to the second sealing slide plate 32 is fixedly connected to a second limiting rod 39. The end of the second limiting rod 39 away from the third buffer plate 33 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 40. A current limiting plate 41 is sleeved on the outer cylindrical surface of the second limiting rod 39. A second elastic member 42 is fixedly connected to the current limiting plate 41. The end of the second elastic member 42 away from the current limiting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 40. A current limiting groove 38 is opened on one side of the third opening 37 close to the second cavity 35.

[0029] For the second buffer assembly, a first cavity 30 is opened on the end face of the first longitudinal beam 11 close to the third longitudinal beam 13. The third longitudinal beam 13 is slidably connected to the first cavity 30. The first cavity 30 is filled with non-Newtonian fluid.

[0030] A fourth cavity 43 is opened at the end of the first cross beam 14 away from the third longitudinal beam 13. A number of first elastic members 20 are fixedly connected in the fourth cavity 43. A first sliding connecting rod 21 is slidably connected in the fourth cavity 43. One end of the first sliding connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the first elastic member 20, and the other end of the first sliding connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the forearm bracket 22.

[0031] A first slot 23 is formed in the second longitudinal beam 12, a second opening 25 is formed on one side of the first slot 23, a first limiting rod 26 is rotatably arranged in the second opening 25, and two ends of the first limiting rod 26 are respectively fixedly connected to two rear rotating arms 24, and the rear rotating arms 24 are rotatably connected to the first slot 23.

[0032] Both ends of the first cross beam 14 are fixedly connected with first sleeves 15, a third sleeve base 28 is fixedly connected to a surface of the rear rotating arm 24 away from the second cross beam 27, a third sleeve 29 is fixedly connected to the third sleeve base 28, a second sleeve 16 is fixedly sleeved on the first longitudinal beam 11, a limiting seat 17 is fixedly connected to an outer circumferential surface of the second sleeve 16, and a first opening 18 is formed in the limiting seat 17.

[0033] When the shock absorption and buffering of this solution are carried out, first, the front arm bracket 22 is subjected to an impact force. The front arm bracket 22 drives the first sliding link 21 towards the fourth cavity 43, and the first sliding link 21 compresses the first elastic member 20. Thus, the first elastic member 20 pushes the third longitudinal beam 13 towards the first longitudinal beam 11 through the first cross beam 14. The third longitudinal beam 13 compresses the non-Newtonian fluid in the first cavity 30 through the first sealing slide plate 31, so that the non-Newtonian fluid solidifies, and thus the first longitudinal beam 11 slides towards the second longitudinal beam 12.

[0034] Then, when the first longitudinal beam 11 slides towards the second longitudinal beam 12, the second longitudinal beam 12 compresses the damping oil on a side of the second cavity 35 close to the second sealing slide plate 32 and near the third buffer plate 33 through the second sealing slide plate 32. The damping oil enters the third opening 37 from the flow limiting groove 38 and enters the second cavity 35 on a side of the third buffer plate 33 close to the fourth buffer plate 34 after passing through the third opening 37.

[0035] Finally, after the damping oil enters the second cavity 35 on a side of the third buffer plate 33 close to the fourth buffer plate 34, it pushes the fourth buffer plate 34 to slide in a direction away from the third buffer plate 33. The fourth buffer plate 34 compresses the inert gas in the third cavity 36, and the impact force received by the front arm bracket 22 is absorbed through the solidification of the non-Newtonian fluid and the compression of the damping oil, thus completing the shock absorption and buffering.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
