Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile suspension, and in particular to a stabilizer bar assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The stabilizer bar is an auxiliary elastic element installed in the suspension system of the car, which is used to increase the suspension roll angle stiffness and reduce the body roll angle, thereby preventing the body from excessive lateral roll when turning. The stabilizer bar is connected to the suspension of the car through bushings and clamps. The bushing is sleeved on the stabilizer bar, and the outer periphery of the bushing is wrapped and fixed by the clamp. The installation of the stabilizer bar is completed by fixing the clamp on the suspension.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a stabilizer bar assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2The embodiment of the present application provides an exploded view of a stabilizer bar assembly. The embodiment discloses a stabilizer bar assembly, which is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a wheel assembly, and the stabilizer bar assembly includes a stabilizer bar 1, a bushing 2, a clamp 4 and a support frame 3. The stabilizer bar 1 is used to connect with the wheel assembly. The bushing 2 is provided with a limiting hole 23, and the stabilizer bar 1 is inserted into the limiting hole 23, and recessed portions 20 are respectively provided on both sides of the bushing 2. The clamp 4 includes a body 41 and a connecting portion 42. The body 41 is sleeved on the bushing 2, and recessed portions 410 are respectively provided on both sides of the body 41. The position of the recessed portion 410 is set corresponding to the position of the recessed portion 20. The connecting portion 42 is connected to both ends of the body 41. The connecting portion 42 is used to connect with the vehicle body to fix the stabilizer bar 1 to prevent the stabilizer bar 1 from moving and affecting the stability of the vehicle. The support frame 3 is embedded in the bushing 2, and notches 30 are respectively provided on both sides of the support frame 3. The position of the notch 30 is set corresponding to the position of the recessed portion 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bushing 2 is connected to the stabilizer bar 1 by vulcanization, so that the bushing 2 and the stabilizer bar 1 form an integrated structure, preventing relative movement between the bushing 2 and the stabilizer bar 1, thereby preventing noise, and eliminating the need to add retaining rings on both sides of the stabilizer bar 1, thereby reducing costs.

[0036] In this embodiment, the recessed portion 20 is only arranged on both sides of the bushing 2, and the recessed portion 410 is only arranged on both sides of the clamp 4, so that while the axial stiffness of the clamp 4 and the bushing 2 is increased, the thickness of the bushing 2 in the radial direction of the stabilizer bar 1 is also ensured, thereby achieving a better shock absorption effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bushing 2 and the clamp 4 are connected by interference fit, which makes the connection between the bushing 2 and the clamp 4 more secure, prevents relative movement between the bushing 2 and the clamp 4, and reduces the possibility of abnormal noise caused by friction between the bushing 2 and the clamp 4.

[0038] The present embodiment is provided with a support frame 3, which is embedded in the bushing 2, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the bushing 2, effectively reducing the wear of the bushing 2, extending the service life of the bushing 2, and reducing the cost of after-sales maintenance or claims.

The position of the second notch 320 is set corresponding to the position of the second recess 220. The first notch 310 and the second notch 320 form a notch portion 30.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first frame 31 and the second frame 32 are respectively made of metal materials. The metal material is strong and durable and not easily affected by external physical and chemical factors, thereby ensuring the rigidity and strength of the first frame 31 and the second frame 32. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first frame 31 and the second frame 32 can also be made of non-metallic materials.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first skeleton 31 and the first bushing portion 21 as well as the second skeleton 32 and the second bushing portion 22 are vulcanized and integrally formed, so that the connection between the first skeleton 31 and the first bushing portion 21 as well as the connection between the second skeleton 32 and the second bushing portion 22 is more secure.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bushing 2 includes a first bushing portion 21 and a second bushing portion 22 , which divides the bushing 2 into two parts, thereby facilitating the installation of the bushing 2 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the first skeleton 31 and the second skeleton 32 are respectively provided with through holes 33, which improves the bonding quality between the first skeleton 31 and the first bushing part 21, and between the second skeleton 32 and the second bushing part 22, reduces the defects of the vulcanization process, and improves the durability. During the process of vulcanization and integral molding of the first skeleton 31 and the first bushing part 21, and the second skeleton 32 and the second bushing part 22, the material forming the bushing 2 can pass through the through hole 33. After the bushing 2 is formed, the connection between the bushing 2 and the support skeleton 3 is more stable, and the support skeleton 3 can be better fixed inside the bushing 2, preventing the support skeleton 3 from sliding relative to the bushing 2, so that the support skeleton 3 can play a better supporting role.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first frame 31 and the second frame 32 are respectively provided with rounded corners to prevent the first frame 31 and the second frame 32 from scratching the bushing 2, thereby extending the service life of the bushing 2 and reducing the cost.
