[0028] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A subframe 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The subframe 100 may be applied to a vehicle.

[0030] Combination Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the sub-frame 100 according to the present invention can mainly include: a sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, a sleeve 20 and a connection reinforcement plate 30. Among them, there is more than one sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, and multiple sub-frame longitudinal beams 10 together define the overall framework of the sub-frame 100. The sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 can not only support and fix other components to ensure the overall strength of the sub-frame 100, but also play an energy absorption role, which can prevent the sub-frame 100 structure from being deformed or broken when the vehicle collides, and can also reduce the force transmitted from the sub-frame 100 to the vehicle body, which can ensure the vibration reduction effect of the vehicle.

[0031] The sleeve 20 is connected to one end of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, and the sleeve 20 is suitable for being connected to the vehicle body. Specifically, the sleeve 20 is arranged at one end of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, and the sleeve 20 is connected to the vehicle body, so that the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 is connected to the vehicle body, which can support the vehicle body and ensure the rationality and reliability of the vehicle structure. In addition, the sleeve 20 is connected to one end of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, and the connection and fixing method between the sleeve 20 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 is mainly welding, which can not only make the connection between the sleeve 20 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 simple and direct, but also improve the stability of the connection between the sleeve 20 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sub-frame 100 structure.

[0032] One end of the connecting reinforcement plate 30 is connected to the sleeve 20, and the other end is connected to the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10. Specifically, after the sleeve 20 is connected to one end of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, a welding angle is formed at the connection. By adding a connecting reinforcement plate 30 in the connection area between the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, and one end of the connecting reinforcement plate 30 is connected to the sleeve 20, and the other end is connected to the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, not only can the angle arc 201 formed by welding between the sleeve 20 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 be structurally increased, thereby increasing the welding angle and improving the strength of the welding area between the sleeve 20 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, but also can prevent the welding failure caused by stress concentration in the welding area, can share the force in the welding area, and improve the durability of the welding area, so that the strength of the sub-frame 100 structure can be improved, and the service life of the sub-frame 100 structure can be extended.

[0033] Furthermore, by adding a connection reinforcement plate 30 in the connection area between the subframe longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, when the road excitation is transmitted to the subframe 100 structure, the connection reinforcement plate 30 can absorb a part of the force transmitted from the subframe longitudinal beam 10 to the vehicle body through the sleeve 20, weaken the force, and thus reduce the force on the vehicle body. This can not only improve the connection strength between the subframe longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, thereby increasing the strength and bearing capacity of the subframe 100 structure, but also play an energy-absorbing role, reduce the force on the vehicle body structure, so that the vehicle body does not vibrate or reduces the vibration amplitude of the vehicle body, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle structure and improving the user's driving experience.

[0034] Therefore, by arranging the connection reinforcement plate 30 on the subframe 100, one end of the connection reinforcement plate 30 is connected to the sleeve 20, and the other end is connected to the subframe longitudinal beam 10, which can not only increase the wrap angle between the longitudinal beam and the sleeve 20, thereby improving the rigidity and bearing capacity of the subframe 100 structure, but also reduce the force on the welding area between the subframe longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, prevent the welding area from failing due to stress concentration, and improve the durability of the welding area. In addition, it can also reduce the force transmitted from the subframe 100 to the vehicle body, achieve a vibration reduction effect, and then improve the stability and safety of the vehicle, and enhance the competitiveness of the product.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle body and the sleeve 20 of the subframe 100 may be connected by bolts.

[0036] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 20 is cylindrical, the connecting reinforcement plate 30 and the cylindrical sleeve 20 are mutually attached and welded, and the connecting reinforcement plate 30 is arranged on the side of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20 corresponding to the radial direction of the sleeve 20. Specifically, the sleeve 20 is cylindrical, so that the force on the tube wall of the sleeve 20 can be evenly distributed, preventing the tube wall from bursting due to uneven force. In addition, according to the maximum area of ​​the same circumference circle, setting the sleeve 20 to a cylindrical shape can not only reduce the structural materials and avoid material waste, but also increase the volume of the vehicle body bracket to increase the stability of the structure.

[0037] Furthermore, by arranging the connection reinforcement plate 30 on the radial side of the subframe longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20 corresponding to the sleeve 20, the connection reinforcement plate 30 and the cylindrical sleeve 20 are fitted together and welded and fixed, which not only can improve the strength of the structure while meeting the structural requirements, but also can make the connection between the connection reinforcement plate 30 and the cylindrical sleeve 20 simple and direct, as well as stable and firm, to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there is a weld 40 between the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, the end of the weld 40 away from the connecting reinforcement plate 30 is the first end 401, the end of the connecting reinforcement plate 30 connected to the sleeve 20 is the second end 402, the portion of the sleeve 20 corresponding to the first end 401 to the second end 402 in the circumferential direction is the wrapping arc 201, the center angle of the wrapping arc 201 is α, and α satisfies the relationship: α>180°. Specifically, after the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 is connected to the sleeve 20, there is a weld 40 between the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and the sleeve 20, and the wrapping arc 201 is formed in the portion of the sleeve 20 corresponding to the first end 401 to the second end 402 of the weld 40, and the center angle of the wrapping arc 201 is required to be greater than 180 degrees, so that not only can the welding failure caused by stress concentration in the welding area be prevented, the durability of the welding area can be improved, and the strength and stability of the structure can be improved.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, α satisfies the relationship: 180°<α<270°. Specifically, the central angle of the wrap arc 201 should be set to be greater than 180 degrees and less than 270 degrees, which can prevent the size of the connecting plate from being too large, avoid adding unnecessary weight and cost, avoid material waste, and improve the rationality and reliability of the structure.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 is a connection end 101, and a leakage hole 102 is provided on the radial side of the sleeve 20 corresponding to the connection end 101, and a connection reinforcement plate 30 is provided on the side of the connection end 101 corresponding to the leakage hole 102. Specifically, by providing the leakage hole 102 on the radial side of the sleeve 20 corresponding to the connection end 101 of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10, the leakage hole 102 can be used as a through hole for the electrophoretic liquid to enter and exit the internal cavity of the vehicle body, which can facilitate the circulation of the electrophoretic liquid and enhance the electrophoretic effect. In addition, by providing the connection reinforcement plate 30 on the side of the connection end 101 of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 corresponding to the leakage hole 102, not only the strength of the connection end 101 of the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 can be increased, but also the strength and durability of the leakage hole 102 and its surrounding areas can be effectively improved, and the leakage hole 102 can be prevented from being deformed. In addition, the risk of damage or leakage caused by liquid flow, pressure change or impact force can be reduced.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 is a connection end 101, which is connected to the sleeve 20, and is provided with a leakage hole 102, and the connection reinforcement plate 30 is arranged at intervals from the leakage hole 102. Specifically, by arranging the connection end 101 at one end of the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10, the connection end 101 is connected to the sleeve 20, and by arranging the connection reinforcement plate 30 and the leakage hole 102 of the connection end 101 at intervals, not only can a cavity position be reserved for the electrophoresis liquid, but also liquid accumulation and blockage can be prevented when the electrophoresis liquid flows through the leakage hole 102 to reach the position of the connection reinforcement plate 30, and the normal electrophoresis process can be ensured, and further, the reliability of the structure of the auxiliary frame 100 can be ensured.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting reinforcing plate 30 includes a main plate 301 and two side plates 302. The main plate 301 is arranged at a relative interval with the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20. The two side plates 302 are arranged on both sides of the main plate 301 and are bent and extended relative to the main plate 301. The side of the side plate 302 away from the main plate 301 is connected and fixed to the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20. Specifically, the connecting reinforcing plate 30 includes a main plate 301 and two side plates 302. By arranging the main plate 301 and the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20 at a relative interval, a gap is formed between the main plate 301 and the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20, and then two side plates 302 are arranged on both sides of the main plate 301 and are bent and extended relative to the main plate 301. In this way, it is convenient to connect and fix the connecting reinforcing plate 30 structure with the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20, which can meet the structural requirements and improve the strength and reliability of the structure.

[0043] Furthermore, by arranging the main plate 301 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20 relatively to each other and fixing the side plate 302 away from the main plate 301 to the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20, a cavity can be formed between the connecting reinforcement plate 30 and the sub-frame longitudinal beam 10 and / or the sleeve 20 for the circulation of the electrophoretic liquid, thereby enhancing the electrophoretic effect.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two side plates 302 are spaced apart on both sides of the leakage hole 102. Specifically, by spaced apart on both sides of the leakage hole 102, it is not only possible to ensure that the connection reinforcement plate 30 can effectively cover and support the area around the leakage hole 102, but also to prevent the side plates 302 of the connection reinforcement plate 30 from obstructing the flow of the electrophoretic liquid, so that the electrophoretic liquid can pass through the leakage hole 102 normally, and the reliability of the structure of the sub-frame 100 can be improved.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connection reinforcement plate 30 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 303, and there are a plurality of weight-reducing holes 303, which are arranged at intervals on the connection reinforcement plate 30. Specifically, by arranging a plurality of weight-reducing holes 303 at intervals on the connection reinforcement plate 30, the weight-reducing effect can be achieved while ensuring the structural stability, which can not only prevent the weight of the sub-frame 100 from being excessively increased due to the addition of the connection reinforcement plate 30, but also prevent the weight-reducing holes 303 from being too dense, thereby causing the structural imbalance of the connection reinforcement plate 30 or making the structure easy to break, further, the structural stability can be improved, and the weight of the overall structure of the sub-frame 100 can be effectively reduced.

[0046] The vehicle according to the utility model can mainly include: the above-mentioned subframe 100. Specifically, since the subframe 100 has a higher structural strength and good stability and reliability, the subframe 100 is applied to the vehicle, which can not only improve the reliability and safety of the vehicle, but also reduce the force transmitted from the subframe 100 to the vehicle body, thereby achieving a vibration reduction effect, thereby improving the driving experience of passengers.
