Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle rear axle and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the rear axle structure layout schemes of electric vehicles on the market mostly adopt the main rear drive + no rear wheel steering + cage-type body structure with C ring. Due to the unreasonable layout between various devices, this method occupies a large space in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (vehicle length direction), and has a certain intrusion on the passenger space and storage space inside the vehicle.

[0003] Secondly, the existing rear axle chassis has no rear wheel steering assistance, and the rear wheels themselves cannot deflect at a certain angle, resulting in a large turning radius of the vehicle and poor vehicle handling performance. At the same time, in order to improve the rigidity of the vehicle body, the cage-type body structure with a C-ring needs to add a crossbeam near the front and rear crossbeams of the subframe or the shock absorber mounting point, which also occupies a certain amount of the vehicle's lateral (left and right directions) and longitudinal space, encroaching on the vehicle's needs for passenger and storage space. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a vehicle rear axle and a vehicle, which reduce the turning radius of the vehicle, improve the vehicle's operating performance, and increase the lateral and longitudinal space inside the vehicle.

[0007] rear floor;

[0008] A rear suspension, the rear suspension is installed below the rear floor, and comprises a front crossbeam and a rear crossbeam that are arranged opposite to each other, and rear tie rods are respectively provided at both ends of the rear suspension, and the rear tie rods are located between the front crossbeam and the rear crossbeam;

[0009] A rear wheel steering gear, wherein the rear wheel steering gear is disposed between the front cross beam and the rear cross beam, and two ends of the rear wheel steering gear are respectively connected to the two rear tie rods; and;

[0010] A rear electric drive assembly is mounted on the rear suspension and is located behind the rear wheel steering gear.

[0012] In some embodiments, the distance between the axis of the output shaft of the rear motor and the axis of the output shaft of the rear reducer in the vehicle length direction is Y2, and the distance in the vehicle height direction is Z2, 150mm≤Z2≤250mm, 15mm≤Y2≤25mm.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rear suspension is an H-wall suspension, the front crossbeam and the rear crossbeam are arranged in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, and the rear electric drive assembly is arranged between the front crossbeam and the rear crossbeam.

[0014] In some embodiments, rear steering knuckles are respectively provided at both ends of the rear suspension, a middle portion of the rear steering knuckle is used to connect to a wheel, and one end of the rear steering knuckle is connected to the rear tie rod.

[0019] In some embodiments, the vehicle is a three-row vehicle, and the rear axle of the vehicle is located below the rear seats of the vehicle.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the rear axle and vehicle of the embodiment of the present application have the following beneficial effects: by setting a rear wheel steering gear, the rear wheel itself can also deflect at a certain angle during driving, which can compensate for the defects of the vehicle steering mechanism caused by the tire, thereby reducing the turning radius of the vehicle and improving the vehicle's operating performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific implementation methods of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0031] In the following description of this application, the terms "front" and "rear" are based on the azimuth relationship that the forward direction of the vehicle is the front and the backward direction of the vehicle is the rear. Figure 1 The Y direction is the front-to-back direction (longitudinal direction), the X direction is the left-to-right direction (lateral direction), and the Z direction is the height direction.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle rear axle 200 and rear wheels 100 , wherein the rear wheels 100 are mounted on the vehicle rear axle 200 .

[0034] The vehicle rear axle 200 includes a rear floor 1, a rear suspension 2, a rear wheel steering gear 3 and a rear electric drive assembly 4, wherein the rear floor 1 is an integral die-cast structure; the rear suspension 2 is mounted below the rear floor 1, and includes a front cross beam 21 and a rear cross beam 22 that are arranged opposite to each other, and rear tie rods 7 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rear suspension 2; and the rear tie rod 7 is located between the front cross beam 21 and the rear cross beam 22; the rear wheel steering gear 3 is arranged between the front cross beam 21 and the rear cross beam 22, and two rear tie rods 7 are respectively connected at both ends thereof; the rear electric drive assembly 4 is mounted on the rear suspension 2 and is located behind the rear wheel steering gear 3, and the rear electric drive assembly 4 includes a rear motor 41 and a rear reducer 42, and the output shaft of the rear motor 41 is parallel to the output shaft of the rear reducer 42, and the output shaft of the rear motor 41 and the output shaft of the rear reducer 42 are arranged in the front and rear directions of the vehicle. The rear motor 41 is used to provide power for the vehicle, and the rear motor 41 is connected to the rear reducer 42 via a planetary gear.

[0035] Based on the vehicle rear axle 200 and vehicle with the above characteristics, by setting the rear wheel steering gear 3, the rear wheel 100 itself can also deflect at a certain angle during driving, which can compensate for the defects of the vehicle steering mechanism caused by the tire, thereby reducing the turning radius of the vehicle and improving the vehicle's operating performance. By setting rear tie rods 7 at both ends of the rear suspension 2, and setting the rear tie rods 7 between the front cross beam 21 and the rear cross beam 22 of the rear suspension 2, and connecting the two rear tie rods 7 at both ends of the rear wheel steering gear 3, and being located in front of the rear electric drive assembly 4, that is, the rear wheel steering gear 3 adopts a front-mounted mode. Compared with the rear-mounted solution, the rear wheel steering gear 3 uses the space of the rear tie rod 6 structure of the rear suspension 2 at the front end of the rear electric drive assembly 4, and does not need to occupy additional space outside the rear suspension 2, thereby reducing the longitudinal layout space of the vehicle.

[0036] Specifically, by placing the rear wheel steering gear 3 in front, compared with the rear-mounted solution, the space of the rear tie rod 7 structure of the rear electric drive front rear suspension 2 can be utilized to reduce the longitudinal layout space by about 105 mm. Figure 5 As shown, its length L is the increased longitudinal arrangement distance of the traditional vehicle rear axle compared to the arrangement of the present application.

[0037] By setting the rear floor 1 as an integral die-cast structure, compared with a conventional cage-type welded body with a C-ring:

[0038] Compared with the one-piece die-cast body floor, the traditional cage-type welded body structure with C-ring needs to add an extra crossbeam near the front and rear crossbeams of the subframe to improve the dynamic rigidity of the body. This will increase the longitudinal boundary of the body structure by about 50mm.

[0039] Compared with the one-piece die-cast body floor, the traditional cage-type welded body structure with C-ring needs to add an extra crossbeam (C-ring) near the shock absorber installation point to improve the body dynamic rigidity. This will increase the space of the lateral boundary of the body structure by about 30mm.

[0040] In some embodiments, the vehicle may be a bridge car, SUV, MPV or other vehicle types. The vehicle may be a three-row seat vehicle. A three-row seat vehicle may be understood as a vehicle having six or seven seats, or may be understood as a vehicle having a front row seat, a middle seat and a rear row seat.

[0041] In some embodiments, the number of the front seats may be two, and both front seats may be independent seats.

[0042] In some embodiments, the number of the middle seats can be one or two. When the number of the middle seats is one, the middle seat can be an integrated two-seat seat or an integrated three-seat seat. When the number of the middle seats is two, both middle seats can be independent seats.

[0043] In some embodiments, the number of rear seats can be one to three. When the number of rear seats is one, the rear seat can be an integrated two-seat seat or an integrated three-seat seat. When the number of rear seats is two, both rear seats can be independent seats, or one rear seat is an independent seat and the other rear seat is an integrated two-seat seat. When the number of rear seats is three, all three rear seats can be independent seats.

[0044] In this embodiment, the rear suspension 2 is an H-wall suspension, including a front crossbeam 21 and a rear crossbeam 22 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the front crossbeam 21 and the rear crossbeam 22 are arranged in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the front crossbeam 21 is located in front of the rear crossbeam 22, and the rear wheel steering gear 3 and the rear electric drive assembly 4 are both arranged between the front crossbeam 21 and the rear crossbeam 22. The rear suspension 2 is provided with a rear steering knuckle 9 at both ends, the middle part of the rear steering knuckle 9 is used to connect the wheel 100, and one end of the rear steering knuckle 9 is connected to the rear tie rod 7. The rear steering knuckle 9 serves as a connecting piece between the rear wheel 100 and the rear wheel steering gear 3, so that the rear wheel steering gear 3 drives the rear wheel to achieve steering action.

[0045] Please see attached Figure 3 , 4 Specifically, the vehicle rear axle 200 may further include one or more structures such as a rear lower swing arm 9, a rear upper swing arm 10, a rear knuckle link, a rear stabilizer bar, a rear stabilizer bar link, a rear spring 20, and a rear shock absorber 6. Among them, the rear lower swing arm is respectively assembled with the rear suspension 2 and the rear knuckle 8. The rear upper swing arm is respectively assembled with the rear suspension 2 and the rear knuckle 8. The rear knuckle 8 is suitable for being assembled with the rear wheel 100. The rear wheel steering gear 3 is assembled with the rear knuckle 8. The rear knuckle link is respectively assembled with the rear knuckle 8 and the rear lower swing arm. The rear stabilizer bar is assembled with the rear suspension 2.

[0046] The rear lower swing arm 9 and the rear upper swing arm 10 are used to bear the lateral force, longitudinal force and vertical force of the vehicle. The rear lower swing arm 9 can be an H arm, which helps to reduce the number of transverse links, thereby helping to save the layout space of the rear axle of the vehicle, and also helps to provide more space for the front installation of the rear wheel steering gear 3 in the subsequent embodiments. The rear lower swing arm 9 can be a die-casting, for example, the rear lower swing arm can be an aluminum alloy die-casting, which helps to reduce the weight of the rear lower swing arm 9 and improve the strength of the rear lower swing arm. The rear lower swing arm 9 can be hinged to the longitudinal beam of the rear subframe 5 and the rear steering knuckle 8. The rear upper swing arm 10 can also be a die-casting, for example, the rear upper swing arm 10 can be an aluminum alloy die-casting, which helps to reduce the weight of the rear upper swing arm 10 and improve the strength of the rear upper swing arm. The rear upper swing arm 10 can be hinged to the longitudinal beam of the rear subframe 5 and the rear steering knuckle 8.

[0047] The rear spring 20 and the rear shock absorber 6 are used to improve the driving stability of the vehicle. The lower end of the rear spring 20 can be arranged on the rear lower swing arm 9, and the upper end of the rear spring 20 can be arranged on the body of the vehicle. The lower end of the rear shock absorber 6 can be arranged on the rear lower swing arm 9, and the upper end of the rear shock absorber 6 can be arranged on the body of the vehicle. The rear spring 20 can be an air spring or a coil spring. The rear spring 20 and the rear shock absorber 6 can be a split structure, which helps to shorten the stroke of the rear shock absorber 6 compared to the structure in which the rear spring 20 and the rear shock absorber 6 are integrated, thereby helping to reduce the space occupied by the rear shock absorber 6 along the height direction z of the vehicle.

[0048] The above structures can be hinged by means of ball heads, rubber bushings or other structures.

[0049] In some embodiments, the rear wheel steering device 3 is configured to make the maximum steering angle of the rear wheel 100 α. α can be greater than or equal to 3.5 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees. The maximum steering angle of the rear wheel 100 refers to the maximum angle reached by the rear wheel 100 turning left or right.

[0050] For example, α can be 3.5 degrees, 4 degrees, 4.5 degrees, 5 degrees, 5.5 degrees, 6 degrees, 6.5 degrees, 7 degrees, 7.5 degrees, or any value or range between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0051] For example, α may be 5 degrees ± 0.5 degrees.

[0052] For another example, α may be greater than or equal to 3.5 degrees and less than 5 degrees, or α may be greater than 5 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees.

[0053] For another example, α may be greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 5.5 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 6 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 6.5 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 7 degrees and less than or equal to 7.5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 3.5 degrees and less than or equal to 5 degrees, α may be greater than or equal to 4 degrees and less than or equal to 5 degrees, and α may be greater than or equal to 4.5 degrees and less than or equal to 5 degrees.

[0054] In this way, the maximum steering angle of the rear wheel 100 is within the above-mentioned value and range, which helps to avoid the maximum steering angle of the rear wheel 100 being too large, resulting in a large steering space for the rear wheel 100 and occupying too much space in the vehicle's front-to-back direction y, left-right direction x and height direction z; and also helps to avoid the maximum steering angle of the rear wheel 100 being too small, resulting in difficulty in reducing the turning radius of the vehicle.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the rear suspension 2 and the rear floor 1, rear subframes 5 are respectively provided at the four corners of the rear suspension 2. Specifically, the rear subframes 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the front cross beam 21 and the rear cross beam 22. The end of the rear subframe 5 away from the rear suspension 2 is connected to the rear floor 1 by bolts.

[0056] Please see attached Figure 6 , 7In this embodiment, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle is Y1, and the dimension along the height direction of the vehicle is Z1, 400mm≤Y1≤500mm, 200mm≤Z1≤310mm. This helps to make the structure of the rear electric drive assembly 4 more compact, and also helps to reduce the space occupied by the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-back direction and the height direction of the vehicle, so as to help the vehicle cabin have a larger space.

[0057] In some embodiments, the dimension Y1 of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle can be 400mm, 410mm, 420mm, 430mm, 440mm, 450mm, 460mm, 470mm, 480mm, 490mm, 500mm or any value or any range between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0058] For example, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle may be 490 mm±10 mm.

[0059] For another example, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle may be: 490 mm ≤ Y1 ≤ 500 mm, or 490 mm ≤ Y1 ≤ 500 mm.

[0060] For another example, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle may be: 400mm≤Y1≤490mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤480mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤470mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤460mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤450mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤440mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤430mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤420mm; or 400mm≤Y1≤410mm.

[0061] In this way, the size of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-rear direction Y1 of the vehicle is within the above-mentioned values ​​and ranges, which helps to avoid the size of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle being too large and occupying too much space in the front-to-rear direction, and also helps to avoid the size of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle being too small, resulting in the power and torque of the rear electric drive assembly 4 being limited by its small size and unable to be configured larger.

[0062] In some embodiments, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the height direction Z1 of the vehicle can be 200mm, 210mm, 220mm, 230mm, 240mm, 250mm, 255mm, 260mm, 265mm, 270mm, 275mm, 280mm, 285mm, 290mm, 295mm, 300mm, 305mm, 310mm or any value or any range between any two adjacent values.

[0063] For example, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the height direction of the vehicle may be 310 mm±10 mm.

[0064] For another example, the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the height direction of the vehicle can be: 200mm≤Z1≤305mm, or 200mm≤Z1≤300mm; 200mm≤Z1≤220mm; 200mm≤Z1≤280mm; 200mm≤Z1≤270mm; 200mm≤Z1≤260mm; 200mm≤Z1≤250mm; or 200mm≤Z1≤255mm.

[0065] In this way, the dimension Z1 of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the height direction of the vehicle is within the above-mentioned numerical value and range, which helps to avoid the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly 4 along the height direction of the vehicle being too large and occupying too much space in the height direction, and also helps to avoid the dimension of the rear electric drive assembly along the height direction of the vehicle being too small, resulting in the power and torque of the rear electric drive assembly 4 being limited by its small size and unable to be configured larger.

[0066] Please see attached Figure 8 , when setting specifically, when the motor power is determined, the size of the rear electric drive assembly 4 is mainly determined by the distance between the rear motor 41 and the rear reducer 42. If the distance between the rear motor 41 and the rear reducer 42 is too large, the size of the rear electric drive assembly 4 will be too large, affecting the storage of the seat, and even the seat and the rear motor will interfere with each other; if the distance between the rear motor and the rear reducer is too small, it may cause space waste between the seat and the rear motor 41 after the seat is folded, so the distance between the rear motor and the rear reducer needs to be strictly guaranteed. Preferably, if the distance between the axis of the output shaft of the rear motor 41 and the axis of the output shaft of the rear reducer 42 in the vehicle length direction is Y2, and the distance in the vehicle height direction is Z2, then 150mm≤Z2≤250mm, 15mm≤Y2≤25mm.

[0067] For example, Z2 is 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, 180mm, 190mm, 200mm, 210mm, 220mm, or any value or range between any two adjacent values ​​thereof.

[0068] For example, Y2 is 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 25mm, or any value or range between any two adjacent values.

[0069] In some embodiments, the rated power of the rear motor 41 is P, which may be greater than or equal to 50 kW and less than or equal to 150 kW. For example, P may be 50 kW, 55 kW, 60 kW, 65 kW, 70 kW, 75 kW, 80 kW, 85 kW, 90 kW, 95 kW, 100 kW, 105 kW, 110 kW, 115 kW, 120 kW, 125 kW, 130 kW, 135 kW, 140 kW, 145 kW, 150 kW, or any value or range between any two adjacent values ​​thereof.

[0070] For example, P may be 135 kW ± 5 kW.

[0071] For another example, P may be: 135kW≤P≤150kW, or 50kW≤P≤135kW.

[0072] For another example, P may also be: 145kW≤P≤150kW; 140kW≤P≤150kW, 50kW≤P≤135kW, 50kW≤P≤130kW, 50kW≤P≤120kW, 50kW≤P≤110kW, 50kW≤P≤100kW, 50kW≤P≤90kW, 50kW≤P≤80kW, 50kW≤P≤70kW, or 50kW≤P≤60kW.

[0073] In this way, the rated power of the rear motor 41 is within the above-mentioned numerical value and range, which helps to avoid the rated power of the rear motor 41 being too large, resulting in the size of the rear motor being too large and occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction and height direction of the vehicle, and also helps to avoid the rated power of the rear motor 41 being too small, resulting in the carrying capacity of the rear electric drive assembly 4 being too small.

[0074] In some embodiments, the rated torque of the rear motor 41 is T, and the value range of T can be 130N·m≤T≤210N·m. For example, T can be 130N·m, 135N·m, 140N·m, 145N·m, 150N·m, 155N·m, 160N·m, 165N·m, 170N·m, 175N·m, 180N·m, 185N·m, 190N·m, 195N·m, 200N·m, 205N·m, 210N·m or any value or any range between any two adjacent values ​​of the above.

[0075] For example, T can be: 190N·m±5N·m.

[0076] For another example, T may be greater than or equal to 130 N·m and less than 190 N·m, or T may be greater than 190 N·m and less than or equal to 210 N·m.

[0077] For another example, T may be: 190N·m≤T≤210N·m, or 195N·m≤T≤210N·m, T may be 200N·m≤T≤210N·m, T may be 205N·m≤T≤210N·m, T may be 130N·m≤T≤190N·m, T may be 140N·m≤T≤190N·m, T may be 150N·m≤T≤190N·m, T may be 160N·m≤T≤190N·m, T may be 170N·m≤T≤190N·m, and T may be 180N·m≤T≤190N·m.

[0078] In this way, the rated torque of the rear motor 41 is within the above-mentioned numerical value and range, which helps to avoid the rated torque of the rear motor 41 being too large, causing the size of the rear motor 41 to be too large and occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction and height direction of the vehicle, and also helps to avoid the rated torque of the rear motor 41 being too small, causing the load-bearing capacity of the rear electric drive assembly 4 to be too small.

[0079] In this embodiment, the distance between the front end face of the front cross beam 21 and the rear end face of the rear cross beam 22 is d, wherein 600mm≤d≤700mm, such as d is 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm, 650mm, 660mm, 670mm, 680mm, 690mm, 700mm or any value or any range between any two adjacent values ​​thereof.

[0080] For example, d may be 650 mm ± 10 mm.

[0081] Or, 600mm≤d≤650mm;

[0082] Alternatively, 650mm≤d≤700mm.

[0083] In this way, the distance between the front end face of the front cross beam 21 of the rear suspension 2 and the rear end face of the rear cross beam 22 is within the above-mentioned values ​​and ranges, which helps to avoid the suspension being too large in the front-to-rear direction x of the vehicle and occupying too much space in the front-to-rear direction x, and also helps to avoid the rear suspension 2 being too small in the front-to-rear direction x of the vehicle and limiting the layout of the rear electric drive assembly, rear wheel steering gear or other structures.

[0084] In this embodiment, the rear floor 1 is an integrated die-cast structure. In this way, it is not necessary to form each structure of the rear floor separately and then weld them, which helps to reduce the number of parts of the rear floor and saves the process of assembling parts, which helps to improve production efficiency. The integrated die-cast structure also helps to have better performance consistency of the overall rear floor, and also helps to reduce the weight of the rear floor, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the entire vehicle. In addition, the rear floor of the integrated die-cast structure has greater strength and rigidity than the traditional cage-type welded body structure with 30 rings. It is possible to ensure the rigidity of the rear floor without adding 30 rings near the rear shock absorber and adding a cross beam to the front and rear cross beams of the rear suspension, thereby helping to reduce the space occupied by the rear floor assembly along the front-to-back direction x and the left-to-right direction y of the vehicle.

[0085] In some embodiments, the rear floor can be die-casted by vacuum high pressure technology.

[0086] In some embodiments, the rear floor 1 may be a die-casting part of an aluminum alloy (AlSi 10MnMg). The rear floor made of aluminum alloy can effectively reduce the weight of the structure and improve the strength and rigidity of the structure.

[0087] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
