Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a light automobile body and frame suspension component, specifically a light automobile body and frame suspension structure, and belongs to the technical field of automobile parts assembly. Background Art

[0002] For vehicles with off-road needs, the road conditions are relatively bad and the ride comfort is worse than that on paved roads. Such vehicles are mainly non-load-bearing bodies. In order to improve the ride comfort of the vehicle, flexible suspension structures and elastic suspension structures are often arranged between the body and the frame.

[0003] At present, the light automobile body and frame using a vibration damping pad cannot well solve the problem of the suspension structure between the body and the frame that is both flexible and elastic. The light automobile body and frame suspension structure can improve the flexibility of the body and the frame by arranging several pairs of rubber vibration damping structures between the body and the frame, and can also solve the elastic connection between the body and the frame to a greater extent, and ultimately attenuate the vibration transmitted from the frame to the body by the powertrain, road surface, drive shaft and other excitations, thereby improving the vehicle's noise, vibration and harshness performance, that is, noise, vibration and harshness performance, referred to as NVH performance.

[0004] In order to improve the NVH performance of the vehicle, the body suspension system is required to have a relatively small stiffness. The vulcanized rubber of the vibration damping pad is relatively soft. The smaller stiffness of the vibration damping pad also brings a problem that the vulcanized rubber of the vibration damping pad is prone to cracking. It is difficult to design the vibration damping pad product to take into account both the reliability of the vibration damping pad and the NVH performance of the whole vehicle. The suspension structure of the light vehicle body and frame adopts a series structure of two vibration damping pads to reduce the overall stiffness of the body and frame suspension structure, thereby ultimately improving the comfort of the vehicle passengers. Utility Model Content

A lightweight automobile body and frame suspension structure is provided for bearing and connection, which is lightweight and has a reasonable structure, and the reliability of the vibration damping pad is also improved.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a light automobile body and frame suspension structure, which is characterized by: comprising at least two identical vibration damping pads, an a fastening bolt and a matching nut, a plurality of b fastening bolts and matching nuts, a vibration damping pad having a mounting seat, an inner sleeve, a rubber connector and an outer sleeve from the inside to the outside, and being sequentially connected to form a rotating body with a coaxial through hole; the inner sleeve is funnel-shaped, and has a wide mouth and a narrow mouth from top to bottom; the mounting seat is integrally connected by a transverse disc and a longitudinal cylinder, and the longitudinal direction of the mounting seat is The cylinder is inserted into the wide opening of the inner sleeve to form an integral connection; the rubber connector is correspondingly connected to the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve; the outer sleeve is provided with a plurality of connection holes connected to the vehicle body end or the vehicle frame respectively; the automobile body and frame suspension structure: a fastening bolts pass through the coaxial through holes of the two vibration damping pads at the same time and are locked by matching nuts to connect the two vibration damping pads in series in an upper and lower symmetrical manner, and a plurality of b fastening bolts pass through the respective connection holes and are locked by matching nuts to fix the upper and lower symmetrical vibration damping pads to the vehicle body end and the vehicle frame respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner sleeve, the rubber connector and the outer sleeve are integrated into one after vulcanization; the vibration damping pad is shear-type and has an upper disc and a lower disc structure, wherein the diameter of the lower disc is greater than the diameter of the upper disc, thereby increasing the stability of the vibration damping pad.

[0008] Furthermore, the cross-section of the mounting seat is "T"-shaped, and the cylindrical side wall of the mounting seat and the inner wall of the inner sleeve are connected by interference fit. The pull-out force of the interference fit is greater than or equal to 3500 Newtons, which can ensure a reliable connection between the inner sleeve and the mounting seat and prevent abnormal noise due to vibration.

[0009] Furthermore, the narrow opening of each inner sleeve expands outwardly in the circumferential direction to form an assembly platform, so that when the upper and lower symmetrical vibration damping pads are connected in series, the two assembly platform planes can be fitted together without gaps to the maximum extent; the assembly platform has no borders or intersections with the rubber connector on the vibration damping pad, thus avoiding interference of the rubber connector when the upper and lower vibration damping pads move up and down; when the upper and lower vibration damping pads are connected in series symmetrically, a fastening bolt is connected to the narrow openings of the two inner sleeves in a socket-type connection, and at the same time supports the fixation of a fastening bolt, and a fastening bolt and its matching nut work together to form an extrusion force on the upper and lower vibration damping pads.

[0010] Furthermore, each outer sleeve structure is spindle-shaped, and a rectangular platform is integrally formed around the outer sleeve; there are at least four connecting holes, which are located inside the four corners of the rectangular platform and are symmetrically arranged front, back, left and right to ensure stability in the connection of the vibration damping pad and reliability during use.

[0011] Furthermore, in the automobile body and frame suspension structure: in the automobile body and frame suspension structure: the upper vibration damping pad is fixedly connected to the body end through its four connecting holes respectively through b fastening bolts and matched nuts therewith, and the lower vibration damping pad is fixedly connected to the frame through its four connecting holes respectively through b fastening bolts and matched nuts therewith.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting seat and the inner sleeve are made of high-strength aluminum alloy No. 12 aluminum material, and the outer sleeve is made of low-carbon steel material.

[0013] Furthermore, the a fastening bolt is an M16 hexagonal flange bolt with a strength grade of 10.9; the b fastening bolt is an M10 hexagonal flange bolt with a strength grade of 8.8.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: its structure mainly adopts two identical and upper and lower symmetrical vibration damping pads which are connected in series symmetrically, so as to better attenuate the vibration transmitted from the frame to the vehicle body, and its effect is obviously better than the structure of a single vibration damping pad, and the structure is ingeniously conceived, easy to assemble, and reliable to use, which reduces the overall stiffness of the suspension system and improves the ride comfort of the vehicle. Since the displacement of the single vibration damping pad is reduced, the reliability and service life of the vibration damping pad are improved, and the manufacturing cost is not high; it meets the research and development and production requirements of vehicle components, can ensure the reasonable spatial position of the vehicle body and frame, and has passed the test and production verification to meet the production process requirements.
