Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automobile design and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a middle trailer hook mounting reinforcing structure and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual popularity of off-road vehicles, consumers of off-road vehicles have increasingly high requirements for the use functions of off-road vehicles. Off-road vehicles are required to not only carry people normally but also have certain towing capacity, so as to tow a recreational vehicle or other vehicles without power source to travel and meet the off-road camping needs of consumers. The main function of the middle trailer hook device is to serve as a connecting device to play a role of intermediate connection between the off-road vehicle and the recreational vehicle or other vehicles without power source, so that the off-road vehicle can serve as a traction power source to tow the recreational vehicle or other vehicles without power source to travel.

[0003] For a load-bearing body, the middle trailer hook device is usually mounted at the end of the rear longitudinal beam of the body, that is, the mounting position of the traditional rear bumper assembly. However, the structure at the rear longitudinal beam of the body needs to have sufficient strength to ensure the stable and reliable mounting of the middle trailer hook, so as to avoid the occurrence of structure fracture during driving, resulting in the disconnection between the rear towing device and the off-road vehicle and causing an accident.

[0004] The existing mounting method of the middle trailer hook of the load-bearing body mainly realizes the mounting of the trailer hook by replacing the partial mounting point of the rear bumper assembly. This mounting method has a high requirement for the local strength of the mounting point, mainly relies on the surrounding components (such as the rear anti-collision beam connecting plate and the longitudinal beam end) for bearing, forms a single-point concentrated force mode, and generally requires a relatively thick material thickness of the associated parts of the body to meet the strength requirement of the partial mounting point. The main disadvantages of this mounting method are: (1) Single load transmission path: the load is mainly transmitted through the rear mounting point, and there is obvious stress concentration in the structure, which often occurs at the joint. Cracking problems often occur during road test.

[0005] (2) Redundant structure design: in order to meet the strength requirement, the traditional scheme often adopts the strategy of increasing the thickness of the global structural parts: the rear wall plate and the longitudinal beam body segment in the non-direct force area are also forced to increase the weight synchronously, causing the redundant design of the structure of the body.

[0006] (3) Poor fatigue life of local structure: under the dynamic road test load of the test field, the stress amplitude of the traditional structure fluctuates in a large range, which easily causes cracking and other durability problems at the welded joint.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a reasonable design of a middle trailer hook mounting reinforcing structure to ensure the safe and reliable function of an off-road vehicle in a user's use scenario, avoid the cracking or severe deformation of the middle trailer hook device near the mounting point of the rear longitudinal beam during the use of the vehicle, and even avoid the damage to the vehicle, thereby affecting the vehicle safety and user reputation.

[0028] This invention provides a reinforced structure for mounting a centrally located trailer hitch.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The diagram shows the overall structure of the centrally mounted trailer hitch reinforcement structure, which includes a crossbeam 1 and a rear longitudinal beam rear body 3. A trailer hitch connection structure 14 for mounting a trailer hitch is installed in the middle of the crossbeam 1.

The crossbeam 1, as a transverse load-bearing skeleton, is set as a square beam. In order to prevent the ends of the crossbeam 1 from deforming or tearing under dragging force, end reinforcement components are set at both ends to enhance the rigidity and strength of the crossbeam 1 and improve its overall load-bearing capacity. The rear body 3 of the rear longitudinal beam, as a longitudinal load-bearing skeleton, is symmetrically arranged on the end sidewalls at both ends of the crossbeam 1. The rear reinforcement components are used to enhance the bending and torsional resistance of the rear body 3 of the rear longitudinal beam under dragging force.

The notch extends through the interior of the rear mounting plate 4 and the trailer hook mounting plate 2, and extends to connect the trailer hook reinforcing beam II6 and the top of the crossbeam 1. Specifically, the notch structure of the trailer hook reinforcing beam I5 serves as an insert interface, ensuring that it can accurately penetrate the rear mounting plate 4 and the trailer hook mounting plate 2, avoiding assembly misalignment. At the same time, the notch extends to the top of the trailer hook reinforcing beam II6 and the crossbeam 1, forming a rigid connection across the components, connecting the end reinforcing components with the rear reinforcing components, reducing stress concentration in the intermediate structure, and further improving the stability of the overall trailer hook installation reinforcing structure under drag force.

The side of bottom reinforcing beam I 902 is connected to one short side of the bottom reinforcing base plate 906, and the side of bottom reinforcing beam IV 905 is connected to the other long side of the bottom reinforcing base plate 906. Specifically, the bottom reinforcing end plate 901 and the bottom reinforcing base plate 906 together provide mounting surfaces for the bottom reinforcing beams I 902, II 903, III 904, and IV 905. Through the multi-reinforcing beam attachment design, the bottom reinforcing components 9 form a three-dimensional reinforcing frame. By reinforcing the bottom connection between the crossbeam 1 and the rear body 3 of the rear longitudinal beam, the dragging stability, impact resistance, and structural durability are improved.

[0034] Further, the bottom side of the bottom reinforcing end plate 901 is connected with the panel side of the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906, and the other side of the bottom reinforcing beam I 902, the bottom reinforcing beam II 903, the bottom reinforcing beam III 904 and the bottom reinforcing beam IV 905 is connected with the side panel of the bottom reinforcing end plate 901. Specifically, the bottom reinforcing beam I 902 is arranged along the short side of the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906, the bottom reinforcing beam IV 905 is arranged along the long side of the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906, so as to prevent the edge of the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906 from curling when the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906 is stressed, and the bottom reinforcing beam II 903 and the bottom reinforcing beam III 904 are arranged at intervals, so as to improve the bending stiffness of the bottom reinforcing bottom plate 906.

[0035] In the embodiment, the rear reinforcing assembly and the bottom reinforcing assembly 9 are fixed on the rear body 3 of the rear longitudinal beam of the vehicle body by means of bolt and screw connection, the components in the end reinforcing assembly are connected by welding and connected to the cross beam 1 by welding, the notch end of the trailer hook reinforcing beam I 5 is connected to the trailer hook reinforcing beam II 6 and the cross beam 1 by welding, and the components in the bottom reinforcing assembly 9 are connected by welding.

[0036] The application further provides a vehicle comprising the above-mentioned center trailer hook mounting reinforcing structure.
