For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, a frame structure includes a frame welding assembly 1, a lifting support 2, and an upper gantry beam 3; the lifting support 2 is mounted on the top surface of the frame welding assembly 1 located at the front section of the frame; the upper gantry beam 3 is mounted on the top surface of the frame welding assembly 1 located at the front section of the frame and is located behind the lifting support 2; wherein the lifting support 2 and the upper gantry beam 3 form two upper ring beams of the frame structure, providing upper rigidity support for the frame; the above structure makes a concession for the front axle, the frame welding assembly 1 is the main force-bearing part of the whole vehicle, and the integral front axle occupies the lower half of the frame at the front axle installation position, so that the frame cannot form a complete ring beam structure at the force point of the front axle suspension seat, and the lower half of the frame structure will be severely tensilely deformed, and the structure is prone to cracking. Therefore, the above structure has been further improved.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the frame welding assembly 1 includes a frame longitudinal beam and a lower ring beam 13; the lower ring beam 13 is fixed to the bottom surface of the frame longitudinal beam and is located below the lifting support 2 and the upper gantry beam 3, and the lower ring beam 13 and the two upper ring beams form a ring beam structure to improve the rigidity of the frame structure.
