Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a front compartment structure for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional models, the front bulkhead is located behind the shock absorber tower, while the air conditioning unit is located inside the passenger compartment. The engine compartment contains the subframe, suspension arms, drive shaft, stabilizer bar, front electric drive, steering gear, compressor, thermal management module, cooling module, etc. The engine compartment space meets the conventional layout scheme. In the current scheme, all components in the engine compartment other than the chassis are assembled on the final assembly line. Each component needs to be installed on the final assembly line one by one, which takes up the overall vehicle assembly time.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of vehicle assembly is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a front compartment structure for a vehicle and a vehicle, and the front compartment structure according to this application improves assembly efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted in this application include: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a front compartment structure for a vehicle, including a front compartment base component, a front-end integrated component, and a front suspension integrated component; the front compartment base component includes a body longitudinal beam, a front bulkhead, and a body torsion box, the front bulkhead being disposed on the body longitudinal beam along the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the body torsion box being disposed on the lower side of the front bulkhead; the front-end integrated component includes an integrated thermal management cooling module and a crash beam assembly, along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the integrated thermal management cooling module being disposed on the crash beam assembly, and the crash beam assembly being connected to the body longitudinal beam to mount the front-end integrated component on the front compartment base component; the front suspension integrated component includes an electric drive and a first crossbeam, the first crossbeam extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the electric drive having a first front mount and a first rear mount, the first front mount being mounted on the first crossbeam, and the first rear mount being mounted on the body torsion box.

[0006] According to the front compartment structure for a vehicle proposed in the first aspect of this application, the various structures in the front compartment are divided into a front compartment basic component, a front end integrated component, and a front suspension integrated component. Each component can be assembled on different sub-assembly lines, without having to be assembled sequentially on the final assembly line, thus reducing the length of the final assembly line. After the modular assembly of each component is completed, it can be assembled with the vehicle body on the final assembly line. The modular and integrated approach solves the problems of complex front compartment structure and low assembly efficiency of vehicle parts.

[0007] Optionally, the front cabin base assembly also includes a rear suspension bracket, which is mounted on the vehicle body torque box, and a first rear suspension is mounted on the rear suspension bracket.

[0008] In the above solution, the rear suspension bracket can provide an installation position for the electric drive rear suspension on the body torsion box, which facilitates the installation of the front compartment base components and the front suspension integration components. The connection and fixation between the electric drive rear suspension and the body torsion box reduces the rear crossbeam of the vehicle's front subframe, improves the integration of parts, and reduces assembly steps, which helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0009] Optionally, the front suspension assembly also includes a front suspension and a steering gear, the steering gear being mounted on the first crossbeam and connected to the front suspension, with the front side of the front suspension mounted on the first crossbeam and the rear side of the front suspension mounted on the vehicle body longitudinal beams in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0010] In the above scheme, the steering gear and front suspension can be pre-assembled in modules on the first crossbeam, which facilitates the overall assembly to the vehicle body, reduces the number of assembly stations and processes, and shortens the assembly time.

[0011] Optionally, the front suspension includes a front suspension body, a front mounting box, and a rear mounting box. Along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the front mounting box is located on the front side of the front suspension body and mounted on the first crossbeam, and the rear mounting box is located on the rear side of the front suspension body and mounted on the vehicle body longitudinal beam.

[0012] In the above scheme, the front mounting box and the rear mounting box can serve as a transition structure to connect the front suspension body with the first crossbeam and the body longitudinal beam, which improves assembly convenience and stability. The elimination of the two longitudinal beams on the left and right sides of the traditional front subframe helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0013] Optionally, the vehicle body longitudinal beam includes a first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam. Along the left and right direction of the vehicle, the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. One side of the first crossbeam is arranged on the first longitudinal beam, and the other side of the first crossbeam is arranged on the second longitudinal beam. The vehicle body torsion box extends along the left and right direction of the vehicle. One side of the vehicle body torsion box is set on the first longitudinal beam, and the other side of the vehicle body torsion box is set on the second longitudinal beam.

[0014] In the above scheme, the body torsion box, front bulkhead, first longitudinal beam and second longitudinal beam can be installed as an integrated structure. Modular pre-assembly can be completed first, which facilitates the installation of other components, helps to simplify the production process and shorten the vehicle manufacturing time.

[0015] Optionally, the first crossbeam includes a body portion, a first left mounting portion, a second left mounting portion, a first right mounting portion, and a second right mounting portion. The first left mounting portion and the second left mounting portion are located on the left side of the body portion, and the first right mounting portion and the second right mounting portion are located on the right side of the body portion. The first left mounting portion and the second left mounting portion are connected to the first longitudinal beam, and the first right mounting portion and the second right mounting portion are connected to the second longitudinal beam.

[0016] In the above scheme, on the one hand, the steering tie rod used for steering can be avoided, which helps to improve the structural compactness; on the other hand, the installation stability of the first crossbeam can be improved.

[0017] Optionally, the front-end integrated component also includes a second crossbeam. The anti-collision beam assembly includes an anti-collision beam body and an energy-absorbing box. The front side of the energy-absorbing box is disposed on the anti-collision beam body, and the rear side of the energy-absorbing box is connected to the vehicle body longitudinal beam. Along the vertical direction of the vehicle, one side of the integrated thermal management cooling module is installed on the second crossbeam, and the other side of the integrated thermal management cooling module is installed on the energy-absorbing box.

[0018] In the above solution, the anti-collision beam body, energy absorption box, second crossbeam, and integrated thermal management cooling module can be pre-integrated together and then assembled onto the vehicle body. This reduces assembly steps, helps improve assembly efficiency, and shortens the overall vehicle assembly time.

[0019] Optionally, the front bulkhead includes a main body and a split component. The main body is disposed on the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body. The split component and the main body are separate structures. The split component is detachably disposed on the main body and has multiple mounting positions for mounting corresponding front bulkhead components.

[0020] In the above solution, the split-part assembly can integrate and assemble multiple front bulkhead components into an independent module, and then assemble the whole from the engine compartment side to the main body of the front bulkhead in one go, eliminating the need for multiple processes and scattered assembly on the passenger compartment side, simplifying the assembly line station, and shortening the vehicle assembly time.

[0021] Optionally, the front cabin structure also includes a trim body assembly, which includes a trim body and an air intake pipe. The trim body is disposed on the body component, and the air intake pipe is connected to the air intake of the air conditioning unit.

[0022] In the above solution, the trim panel body is integrated with the air intake pipe, eliminating the need for separate air intake pipes, brackets, fasteners and other scattered parts, realizing the integrated assembly of trim panel protection and air conditioning intake, greatly reducing the number of front cabin parts and assembly stations, and improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application propose a vehicle including the front compartment structure described in any of the embodiments.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: each component can be assembled on different sub-assembly lines, without having to be assembled sequentially on the final assembly line, thus reducing the length of the final assembly line. After each component is modularly assembled, it can be assembled with the vehicle body on the final assembly line. The modular and integrated approach solves the problems of complex front compartment structure and low assembly efficiency of vehicle parts. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0032] In this application, "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), similarly, "multiple sets" refers to two or more (including two sets), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two pieces).

[0033] As the design of new energy vehicles becomes increasingly integrated and modular, new energy vehicle OEMs are beginning to develop integrated vehicle solutions, aiming to achieve a compact overall structure, expandable space, and convenient assembly.

[0034] In traditional models, the front bulkhead is located behind the shock absorber tower, while the air conditioning unit is located inside the passenger compartment. The engine compartment includes the subframe, suspension arms, drive shaft, stabilizer bar, front electric drive, steering gear, compressor, thermal management module, cooling module, etc., and the engine compartment space meets the conventional layout scheme.

[0035] However, in related technologies, all components outside the chassis in the engine compartment are assembled on the final assembly line. Each component needs to be installed on the final assembly line one by one, which takes up the vehicle assembly time. Alternatively, although the chassis assembly scheme is an integrated assembly, the suspension is still installed on the subframe, resulting in an overly redundant chassis subframe structure and no maximum structural optimization.

[0036] In addition, the front compartment structure in the relevant technology also has the following problems: the front bulkhead cannot be disassembled, which means that the parts on the front bulkhead need to be installed on the front bulkhead one by one, which takes up the overall vehicle assembly time; the engine compartment trim panel and air conditioning duct are installed into the front compartment one by one, which takes up the overall vehicle assembly time; the coolant tank, washer tank and front cooling module are installed into the front compartment one by one, which takes up the overall vehicle assembly time.

[0037] In view of this, in order to improve the installation efficiency of the front compartment structure, this application proposes a front compartment structure for vehicles, which divides the various structures in the front compartment into a front compartment basic component, a front end integrated component, and a front suspension integrated component. Each component can be assembled on different assembly lines, without having to be assembled sequentially on the final assembly line, thus reducing the length of the final assembly line. After the modular assembly of each component is completed, it can be assembled with the vehicle body on the final assembly line. The modular and integrated approach solves the problems of complex front compartment structure and low assembly efficiency of vehicle parts.

[0038] The following describes a front compartment structure for a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front compartment structure for a vehicle according to the first aspect embodiment of this application includes a front compartment base component 100, a front end integration component 200, and a front suspension integration component 300.

[0040] The front compartment basic component 100 includes a body longitudinal beam 110, a front bulkhead 120, and a body torsion box 130. The front bulkhead 120 is disposed on the body longitudinal beam 110 along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle, and the body torsion box 130 is disposed on the lower side of the front bulkhead 120.

[0041] Understandably, the front compartment base component 100 also includes a tower pack, with the front bulkhead 120 located on the front side of the tower pack and the tower pack also located on the vehicle longitudinal beam 110. Part of the front bulkhead 120, the tower pack, and the vehicle longitudinal beam 110 can be installed to form an integral module, serving as an installation carrier for other components in the front compartment, so that other components in the front compartment can be installed sequentially on the front compartment base component 100 to complete the assembly.

[0042] The front-end integrated component 200 includes an integrated thermal management cooling module 210 and a crash beam assembly 220. Along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle, the integrated thermal management cooling module 210 is disposed on the crash beam assembly 220, which is connected to the vehicle body longitudinal beam 110 to mount the front-end integrated component 200 on the front compartment base component 100.

[0043] Specifically, the integrated thermal management cooling module 210 can be installed on the anti-collision beam assembly 220. The integrated thermal management cooling module 210 and the anti-collision beam assembly 220 are installed to form an integral module, which is then installed as a whole on the vehicle longitudinal beam 110, thereby realizing the assembly of the two modules, the front integrated component 200 and the front compartment basic component 100, and greatly improving the final assembly efficiency.

[0044] The front suspension integrated assembly 300 includes an electric drive 310 and a first crossbeam 320. The first crossbeam 320 extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle and along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle. The electric drive 310 has a first front mount 311 and a first rear mount 312. The first front mount 311 is mounted on the first crossbeam 320, and the first rear mount 312 is mounted on the body torque box 130.

[0045] It is understandable that the electric drive 310 can be installed with the first crossbeam 320 to form an integral module, and then installed as a whole onto the body longitudinal beam 110, thereby realizing the assembly of the three modules: the front suspension integrated component 300, the front end integrated component 200, and the front compartment base component 100.

[0046] With this configuration, the front suspension integration component 300, the front end integration component 200, and the front compartment base component 100 can be assembled on different assembly lines, reducing the occupation of the final assembly line. At the same time, the electric drive 310 is directly set on the first crossbeam 320 and the body torsion box 130, eliminating the traditional rear crossbeam of the front subframe, improving the integration of front compartment components, simplifying the structure of the front compartment, and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the front cabin base assembly 100 also includes a rear suspension bracket 140, which is disposed on the body torque box 130. The first rear suspension 312 is mounted on the rear suspension bracket 140. It can be understood that the rear suspension bracket 140 can provide a mounting position 122a for the electric drive 310 rear suspension on the body torque box 130, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the electric drive 310 rear suspension to the body torque box 130 when the front cabin base assembly 100 and the front suspension integration assembly 300 are installed. On the one hand, it reduces the rear crossbeam of the vehicle's front subframe and improves the integration of parts; on the other hand, it reduces assembly steps and helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0048] The rear suspension bracket 140 is an independently machined part, which can precisely define the mounting position 122a and angle of the first rear suspension 312, avoiding the suspension misalignment and tilt caused by molding errors when directly installed on the body torque box 130 (sheet metal part), and ensuring the force balance of the front and rear suspensions of the electric drive 310.

[0049] The vibration and impact loads of the electric drive 310 are all borne by the rear suspension bracket 140. The bracket can be locally strengthened by thickening and adding reinforcing ribs to prevent the torsion box body from deforming, cracking and stress concentration due to long-term concentrated force, which greatly improves the durability and reliability of the lower structure of the front compartment.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front suspension integrated assembly 300 also includes a front suspension 330 and a steering gear 340. The steering gear 340 is disposed on the first crossbeam 320 and connected to the front suspension 330. Along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle, the front side of the front suspension 330 is mounted on the first crossbeam 320, and the rear side of the front suspension 330 is mounted on the vehicle body longitudinal beam 110.

[0051] It is understandable that the steering gear 340 and the front suspension 330 can be pre-assembled in a modular manner on the first crossbeam 320, which facilitates the overall assembly to the vehicle body, reduces the number of assembly stations and processes, and shortens the assembly time.

[0052] Specifically, the first crossbeam 320 is provided with a left steering gear mounting bracket and a right steering gear mounting bracket; the steering gear 340 includes a steering gear body, a left steering gear mounting point and a right steering gear mounting point. The left steering gear mounting point is connected to the left steering gear mounting bracket, and the right steering gear mounting point is connected to the right steering gear mounting bracket. The steering gear body is arranged above the first crossbeam 320. At the same time, the right steering gear mounting bracket is compatible with the installation of the air conditioning compressor system. A stabilizer bar mounting bracket is provided on the front side of the first crossbeam 320. The stabilizer bar is installed on the stabilizer bar mounting bracket and is located at the lower front end of the first crossbeam 320, which also serves to protect the steering gear 340.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the front suspension 330 includes a front suspension body 331, a front mounting box 332 and a rear mounting box 333. Along the vehicle's longitudinal direction X, the front mounting box 332 is located on the front side of the front suspension body 331 and mounted on the first crossbeam 320, while the rear mounting box 333 is located on the rear side of the front suspension body 331 and mounted on the vehicle body longitudinal beam 110.

[0054] Understandably, the front mounting box 332 and the rear mounting box 333 can serve as a transition structure to connect the front suspension body 331 with the first crossbeam 320 and the body longitudinal beam 110, which improves assembly convenience and stability. The elimination of the two longitudinal beams on the left and right sides of the traditional front subframe helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0055] Specifically, the front mounting box 332 and the rear mounting box 333 can be constructed as shell-shaped structures with openings. The front suspension body 331 includes a first wishbone and a second wishbone. The first wishbone and the second wishbone can be constructed as separate structures. The front side of the first wishbone is rotatably connected to the front mounting box 332. The front mounting box 332 is fixedly mounted on the first crossbeam 320. The rear side of the first wishbone is mounted on the steering knuckle. The front side of the second wishbone is mounted on the steering knuckle. The rear side of the second wishbone is rotatably connected to the rear mounting box 333.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle body longitudinal beam 110 includes a first longitudinal beam 111 and a second longitudinal beam 112. Along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle, the first longitudinal beam 111 and the second longitudinal beam 112 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. One side of the first crossbeam 320 is arranged on the first longitudinal beam 111, and the other side of the first crossbeam 320 is arranged on the second longitudinal beam 112. The vehicle body torque box 130 extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. One side of the vehicle body torque box 130 is set on the first longitudinal beam 111, and the other side of the vehicle body torque box 130 is set on the second longitudinal beam 112.

[0057] Understandably, the body torsion box 130, front bulkhead 120, first longitudinal beam 111 and second longitudinal beam 112 can be installed as an integrated structure. The lower left end of the front bulkhead 120 is connected to the first cross beam 320, and the lower right end of the front bulkhead 120 is connected to the second cross beam 230. Modular pre-assembly can be completed first, which facilitates the installation of other components, helps to simplify the production process and shorten the vehicle manufacturing time.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the first crossbeam 320 includes a body portion 321, a first left mounting portion 322, a second left mounting portion 323, a first right mounting portion 324, and a second right mounting portion 325. The first left mounting portion 322 and the second left mounting portion 323 are disposed on the left side of the body portion 321, and the first right mounting portion 324 and the second right mounting portion 325 are disposed on the right side of the body portion 321. The first left mounting portion 322 and the second left mounting portion 323 are connected to the first longitudinal beam 111, and the first right mounting portion 324 and the second right mounting portion 325 are connected to the second longitudinal beam 112.

[0059] Understandably, the four mounting parts can constrain the displacement and torsion of the first crossbeam 320 from multiple dimensions, reducing the probability of the first crossbeam 320 swaying or tilting, and providing a stable mounting reference for components such as the electric drive 310 mount, front suspension, and steering gear 340.

[0060] Specifically, the first crossbeam 320 can be constructed as a structural component with U-shaped structures on both the left and right sides. The steering gear body is equipped with a steering tie rod, which extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. One side of the steering tie rod is connected to the steering gear body, and the other side of the steering tie rod is connected to the steering knuckle. This design can avoid the steering tie rod used for steering, which helps to improve the structural compactness. On the other hand, it can improve the installation stability of the first crossbeam 320.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the front-end integrated component 200 also includes a second crossbeam 230, and the anti-collision beam assembly 220 includes an anti-collision beam body 221 and an energy-absorbing box 222. The front side of the energy-absorbing box 222 is disposed on the anti-collision beam body 221, and the rear side of the energy-absorbing box 222 is connected to the vehicle body longitudinal beam 110. Along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle, one side of the integrated thermal management cooling module 210 is installed on the second crossbeam 230, and the other side of the integrated thermal management cooling module 210 is installed on the energy-absorbing box 222.

[0062] It is understandable that the anti-collision beam body 221, energy absorption box 222, second crossbeam 230, and integrated thermal management cooling module 210 can be pre-integrated together and then assembled onto the vehicle body as a whole, reducing the sub-assembly and alignment processes, which helps to improve assembly efficiency and shorten the vehicle assembly time.

[0063] Specifically, the second crossbeam 230 is positioned opposite and spaced apart from the anti-collision beam body 221 along the vertical Z direction of the vehicle. The left and right sides of the second crossbeam 230 are connected to the inner panels of the left and right A-pillars respectively through corresponding brackets. A figure-eight beam is provided between the second crossbeam 230 and the anti-collision beam body 221. The energy-absorbing box 222 is located on the rear side of the anti-collision beam body 221. There can be two energy-absorbing boxes 222, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the integrated thermal management cooling module 210. At the same time, the integrated thermal management cooling module 210 is also connected to the energy-absorbing box 222 through corresponding mounting brackets.

[0064] The integrated thermal management cooling module 210 includes components such as a fan, flow channel plate, cooling water tank, and scrubbing tank. It effectively solves the problem of redundant piping caused by the dispersed arrangement of thermal management components in the engine room, and improves the integration of thermal management components. The cooling water tank is installed behind the second crossbeam 230, and the scrubbing tank is installed on the right side of the energy absorption box 222. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the front bulkhead 120 includes a main body 121 and a split part 122. The main body 121 is disposed on the longitudinal beam 110 of the vehicle body. The split part 122 and the main body 121 are separate structures. The split part 122 is detachably disposed on the main body 121. The split part 122 is provided with multiple mounting positions 122a. The multiple mounting positions 122a are used to install corresponding front bulkhead 120 components.

[0065] Understandably, the split component 122 can integrate and assemble all the components of the multiple front bulkhead 120 into an independent module, and then assemble the entire component from the engine compartment side to the main body 121 of the front bulkhead 120 in one go, saving the multiple processes of scattered assembly on the passenger compartment side, simplifying the assembly line station, and shortening the vehicle assembly time.

[0066] Specifically, the front bulkhead 120 includes components such as the air conditioning outer box, air conditioning inner box, One-Box, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The split part 122 can modularly assemble components such as the air conditioning outer box, air conditioning inner box, One-Box, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The air conditioning outer box is located in front of the split part 122 and is assembled from the engine compartment to the front bulkhead as a whole, realizing modular assembly of the engine compartment.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the front cabin structure also includes a trim body assembly 400, which includes a trim body 410 and an air intake pipe 420. The trim body 410 is disposed on the body component 121, and the air intake pipe 420 is connected to the air intake of the air conditioning unit.

[0068] Understandably, the trim panel body 410 integrates the air intake pipe section 420, eliminating the need for separate air intake pipes, brackets, fasteners and other scattered parts, realizing the integrated assembly of trim panel protection and air conditioning intake, greatly reducing the number of front cabin parts and assembly stations, and improving overall assembly efficiency.
