[0029] It can be understood that the longitudinal beam 10, the cross beam 20 and the plurality of control arm brackets 30 constitute the main structure of the sub-frame assembly 100, the longitudinal beams 10 are arranged at intervals on the left and right, the cross beam 20 is located between the longitudinal beams 10 on the left and right sides, and the left end of the cross beam 20 is connected to the left longitudinal beam 10, and the right end of the cross beam 20 is connected to the right longitudinal beam 10, so that the cross beam 20 and the longitudinal beam 10 can form a frame structure, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the sub-frame assembly 100 and facilitating the installation of other components on the sub-frame assembly 100.
[0030] The cross beam 20 is located at the front end of the longitudinal beam 10. This arrangement can save space on the rear side of the cross beam 20, thereby increasing the space in the middle of the sub-frame assembly 100, and making it easier to install other components on the sub-frame assembly 100. A plurality of control arm brackets 30 are connected to the rear side of the connection between the cross beam 20 and the longitudinal beam 10. This arrangement allows the control arm brackets 30 to limit the control arms, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the control arms on the sub-frame assembly 100, and thus ensuring the stability of the vehicle's suspension system.
[0031] In addition, the connection between the longitudinal beam 10 and the cross beam 20 is located in front of the connection between the longitudinal beam 10 and the plurality of control arm brackets 30. This arrangement allows the longitudinal beam 10, the cross beam 20 and the control arm bracket 30 to be connected to each other, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the subframe assembly 100, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle, and the control arm bracket 30 is connected to the longitudinal beam 10 at an angle. This arrangement allows an avoidance space to be formed under the control arm bracket 30, and the avoidance space can avoid the drive structure, thereby facilitating the installation of the drive structure on the subframe assembly 100, and the drive structure does not affect the installation and layout of other components, thereby meeting the space layout requirements of the rear axle electric drive system.
