Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle transmission, more particularly, to a fixing device of a transmission support beam. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a modern powertrain longitudinal vehicle, the transmission is generally connected to the vehicle body through a transmission support beam using bolts after being damped by a transmission suspension, and the transmission is supported at a designed position. Since the transmission suspension is closer to the cab than the engine suspension, vibrations and noises are more likely to be transmitted to the cab through the transmission support beam and perceived by the user. The transmission support beam has generally four mounting points on the vehicle body, and the X-direction span of the transmission support beam mounting points is generally greater than about 160mm to ensure the generalization of the vehicle body, and the Y-direction span can reach 900mm. Since the span of the transmission support beam mounting points is large, the natural frequency is generally not high, and the mounting on the vehicle body is generally about 100HZ. The transmission support beam assembly needs to have certain strength to meet the support requirements and high natural frequency to ensure that the transmission support beam is not easily excited to resonance by excitation from the automobile drive train.

[0003] However, the overall structure of the existing circular tube beam has a step in front of the tube beam, which is basically the bending mode and the overturning mode around the Y direction. If the natural frequency needs to be improved to meet the resonance requirements, it is difficult to increase the resonance block or strengthen the tube beam arrangement, and the weight of the system is increased. In addition, a single circular tube beam is connected to the transmission support beam vehicle body mounting bracket, and to achieve the required natural frequency, the circular tube beam needs a thicker wall thickness and a larger outer diameter, and additional transmission support beam reinforcing brackets are needed to increase the stiffness of the connection structure. Since the parts are arranged under the chassis, the Z-direction height limit is relatively large, which is not conducive to the lightweight requirements and arrangement requirements of the vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a fixing device of a transmission support beam has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY
