For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a connection assembly.

[0029] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the threaded pipe sleeve provided by the utility model. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the medium threaded pipe sleeve. Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connection assembly provided by the utility model. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the connecting components. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connection assembly provided by the utility model includes a threaded pipe sleeve 100, a connecting pipe sleeve 200 and a fastening bolt 300.

[0030] The threaded sleeve 100 includes a threaded section 101 embedded in the first connection object and a guide section 102 extending from the first connection object. Taking the first connection object as a vehicle body as an example, the threaded section 101 is located inside the vehicle body, and the guide section 102 extends to the outside of the vehicle body.

[0031] The connecting sleeve 200 is disposed on the second connection object. The connecting sleeve 200 includes a first pipe section 201 and a second pipe section 202 connected to each other. The first pipe section 201 can be sleeved on the guide section 102 .

[0032] The fastening bolt 300 can pass through the second pipe section 202 and the guide section 102, and be screwed into the threaded section 101 to connect the threaded sleeve 100 and the connecting sleeve 200. By connecting the threaded sleeve 100 and the connecting sleeve 200, the first connection object and the second connection object can be connected.

[0033] The inner diameter of the first pipe section 201 is larger than the outer diameter of the guide section 102, and the inner diameter of the second pipe section 202 is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening bolt 300. Thus, there are gaps between the connecting sleeve 200 and the first pipe section 201 and between the connecting sleeve and the fastening bolt 300.

[0034] The first connection object is the body of the car, and the second connection object is the subframe of the car. The utility model improves the structure of the threaded sleeve 100 so that the guide section of the threaded sleeve 100 extends out of the first connection object and cooperates with the connecting sleeve 200 set on the subframe to form a chimeric structure with a gap. Through the design of the gap and the guide section, when the car collides, the collision load will first cause the connecting sleeve 200 to hit the threaded sleeve 100, rather than directly acting on the fastening bolt 300. By shearing the threaded sleeve 100 with the connecting sleeve 200, the time for the collision load to be transmitted to the fastening bolt 300 can be delayed, thereby preventing the fastening bolt 300 from being cut off too quickly when the car collides. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the consistency of the degree of crushing between the subframe and the front section of the car body, and improve the collision safety of the car.

[0035] Furthermore, the threaded sleeve in the related art is completely embedded in the vehicle body, and the threaded sleeve in the related art does not include the guide section 102. The subframe has high rigidity and fast force transmission. When subjected to a collision load, the connection sleeve 200 disposed on the subframe and the vehicle body will produce an instantaneous displacement at the fitting point, that is, Figure 4 This will create a shear force on the fastening bolts, causing them to shear off quickly.

[0036] In the present invention, the threaded sleeve 100 is newly provided with a guide section 102 extending downwardly from the vehicle body, and the guide section 102 forms a reasonable clearance fit with the connecting sleeve 200. Therefore, when subjected to a collision load, an instantaneous displacement occurs between the connecting sleeve 200 and the vehicle body. However, through the design of the clearance and the guide section, the guide section of the threaded sleeve 100 first contacts the connecting sleeve 200, preventing the connecting sleeve 200 from continuing to slide, i.e. Figure 4 The shear point B in the figure relies on the connecting sleeve to shear the threaded sleeve, which can delay the time for the collision load to be transmitted to the fastening bolt 300, thereby avoiding the fastening bolt from being sheared off too quickly.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connecting sleeve 200 includes a first end face and a second end face that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first end face is arranged close to the first pipe section 201. The fastening bolt 300 includes a bolt head 301. When the connecting assembly is installed, the first end face abuts against the first connecting object, and the second end face abuts against the bolt head 301. By making the first end face abut against the first connecting object, and the second end face abut against the bolt head 301, the supporting force and friction force required for installation can be ensured.

[0038] In some embodiments, threads are provided on the inner wall surface of the threaded section 101. The threads on the inner wall surface of the threaded section 101 are engaged with the fastening bolt 300 through threads, which can ensure the torque required for installation and ensure the reliability of installation.

[0039] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2As shown, the guide section 102 has a first avoidance channel 103 in its internal structure, and a guide slope 104 is provided at one end of the first avoidance channel 103 close to the threaded section 101. The diameter of the guide slope 104 decreases along the direction from the guide section 102 to the threaded section 101, which is conducive to the smooth insertion of the fastening bolt 300 into the threaded section 101.

[0040] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flange 105 is provided at the connection between the threaded section 101 and the guide section 102, and the flange 105 is used to be fixedly connected to the first connection object. In other words, the threaded sleeve 100 includes the threaded section 101, the flange 105 and the guide section 102 connected in sequence. By providing the flange, it is convenient to fix the threaded sleeve 100 to the first connection object.

[0041] In some embodiments, the flange 105 contacts the first connection object, and the flange 105 and the first connection object are fixedly connected by welding. It can be understood that the flange 105 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the threaded section 101, and the flange 105 contacts the first connection object, which can ensure the verticality of the threaded sleeve 100 assembly. The flange 105 and the first connection object are fixedly connected by welding, which can ensure the strength of the connection.

[0042] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the installation of the threaded pipe sleeve provided by the utility model. In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the edge of the flange 105 is welded to the first connection object by arc welding, and an arc weld pile 106 is formed at the edge of the flange 105 .

[0043] Arc welding the edge of the flange 105 to the first connection object not only ensures that the flange 105 is attached to the first connection object and the verticality of the threaded sleeve 100 is ensured, but also provides good dynamic stiffness and connection strength for the connection point.

[0044] In a second aspect, the utility model provides a car.

[0045] The automobile provided by the utility model comprises a vehicle body, a subframe and the above-mentioned connection assembly. The vehicle body comprises a vehicle body bottom plate. The threaded sleeve of the connection assembly is arranged on the vehicle body bottom plate, and the connecting sleeve of the connection assembly is arranged on the subframe. It can be understood that the threaded section 101 of the threaded sleeve 100 is located above the vehicle body bottom plate, and the guide section 102 extends downward from the vehicle body bottom plate.

[0046] When the above technical solution is adopted, when the automobile provided by the utility model collides, an instantaneous displacement occurs between the connecting sleeve 200 and the vehicle body, and the collision load first causes the connecting sleeve to hit the threaded sleeve, rather than directly acting on the fastening bolt. By shearing the threaded sleeve with the connecting sleeve, the time for the collision load to be transmitted to the fastening bolt can be delayed, thereby preventing the fastening bolt from being sheared off too quickly when the automobile collides. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the consistency of the degree of crushing between the subframe and the front section of the vehicle body, and improve the collision safety of the automobile.

[0047] In some embodiments, the vehicle body bottom plate is provided with a mounting hole, wherein the threaded section 101 is provided on the upper side of the vehicle body bottom plate, and the guide section 102 passes through the mounting hole and is located on the lower side of the vehicle body bottom plate, so as to facilitate the installation of the threaded sleeve 100 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle body further includes a reinforcing plate 400, the threaded section 101 passes through the reinforcing plate 400, and the threaded section 101 is connected to the reinforcing plate by welding. This arrangement can further improve the connection strength and reliability between the threaded sleeve 100 and the vehicle body.

[0049] In some embodiments, a flange 105 is provided at the connection between the threaded section 101 and the guide section 102, and the flange 105 is provided on the side of the vehicle body bottom plate close to the vehicle body. The subframe is installed on the bottom of the vehicle body through the threaded sleeve 100. By arranging the flange 105 on the side of the vehicle body bottom plate close to the vehicle body, the flange 105 presses the vehicle body bottom plate under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the possibility of the threaded sleeve falling off.

[0050] It can be understood that the diameter of the flange 105 is larger than the diameters of the threaded section 101 and the guide section 102 , and smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

[0051] So far, the technical solution of the utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
