[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A suspension 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the suspension 1 is applied to a vehicle.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the suspension 1 according to the utility model includes: a bracket 2, a first bushing 3, a second bushing 4 and a third bushing 5. The first bushing 3 is arranged at one end of the bracket 2 in the length direction, and the first bushing 3 is used to connect with the subframe. The second bushing 4 is arranged at the other end of the bracket 2 in the length direction. The third bushing 5 is arranged between the two ends of the bracket 2 in the length direction. The second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are used to connect with the powertrain, and the axes of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are parallel.

[0028] It can be understood that the bracket 2, the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 constitute the main structure of the suspension 1, and the first bushing 3 and the second bushing 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the bracket 2 in the length direction, so as to facilitate the first bushing 3 to be connected to the subframe and the second bushing 4 to be connected to the powertrain, so that the suspension 1 can be connected to the subframe and the powertrain, and the third bushing 5 is located between the first bushing 3 and the second bushing 4, and the third bushing 5 is arranged close to the second bushing 4, so that the third bushing 5 can be connected to the powertrain, and the connection between the suspension 1 and the powertrain can be made more firmly, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are arranged in the middle position in the left-right direction of the bracket 2, and the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bracket 2, so as to enhance the torsional limiting ability of the suspension 1. For example, the first bushing 3 is connected to the subframe by an M14 bolt, and the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are connected by an M12 bolt. The second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 form a two-stage or multi-stage torsion limiting mechanism, which is convenient for controlling the displacement of the powertrain and can also avoid the problem of large torque direction stiffness and rapid stiffness increase leading to decreased vibration isolation performance, thereby improving the torsion limiting capability, improving high-frequency impact and improving fatigue durability.

[0029] Specifically, the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are rubber or buffer blocks, and one side of the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 is connected to the bracket, and a buffer block is arranged between the other side and the bracket, and the parts of the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 connected to the bracket are staggered with the buffer blocks. For example, the parts of the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 connected to the bracket and the buffer blocks are 4 or 2 respectively, so as to reduce the transmission of the vibration of the suspension 1. When the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, brakes or is abused, the peak torque of the drive motor is large and rapidly converted in a certain speed range. The torque will reverse from positive to negative in a very short time, and the powertrain will receive the impact force and load force, thereby driving the compression or stretching of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5, and then transmitting the residual impact force and load force to the first bushing through the bracket 2. 3. Repeatedly and rapidly cycle the pull rod movement until the excitation energy is absorbed and consumed, thereby improving the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance of the vehicle, and the stiffness of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are similar, the stiffness of the first bushing 3 is less than the stiffness of the second bushing 4, or the stiffness of the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are adjusted and combined according to actual needs, the structural form or size of the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 can be selected according to actual conditions, or they can be designed in pairs. If one of the second bushing 4 or the third bushing 5 is disconnected, the suspension 1 can also act as a resonator, thereby balancing the excitation force caused by the resonance of the powertrain, and then improving the torsional limiting capability, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1.

[0030] Therefore, by arranging the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 on the bracket 2, the suspension 1 can be connected to the subframe and the powertrain, and the first bushing 3 and the second bushing 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the bracket 2, and the axes of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are parallel, so that the suspension 1 can have the characteristics of commonality, platformization, serialization, construction adaptability and good compatibility, and can also improve the torsional limiting ability, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1, thereby reducing the weight of the suspension 1 and saving costs.

[0031] In particular, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the axes of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are perpendicular to the axis of the first bushing 3. This arrangement allows the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 to be in the same horizontal plane. The first bushing 3 is arranged along the up and down directions of the bracket 2, so as to facilitate the connection between the first bushing 3 and the subframe, and the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 and the powertrain, thereby enabling the suspension 1 to have the characteristics of commonality, platformization, serialization, construction adaptability and good compatibility.

[0032] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 2 has a first mounting hole 21, a second mounting hole 22 and a third mounting hole 23. The first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are located at two ends of the length direction of the bracket 2, and the third mounting hole 23 is located between the two ends of the length direction of the bracket 2. The first bushing 3 is arranged in the first mounting hole 21, the second bushing 4 is arranged in the second mounting hole 22, and the third bushing 5 is arranged in the third mounting hole 23. In other words, the first mounting hole 21 and the third mounting hole 23 are respectively located at two ends of the length direction of the bracket 2, the third mounting hole 23 is located between the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22, and the third mounting hole 23 is arranged close to the second mounting hole 22, so that the first mounting hole 21 is convenient for limiting the first bushing 3, the second mounting hole 22 is convenient for limiting the second bushing 4, and the third mounting hole 23 is convenient for limiting the third bushing 5, so that the first bushing 3 can be installed in the first mounting hole 21, the second bushing 4 is installed in the second mounting hole 22, and the third bushing 5 is installed in the third mounting hole 23.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 2 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 24, and the first reinforcing rib 24 extends from the outer peripheral wall of the first mounting hole 21 to the outer peripheral wall of the second mounting hole 22. It can be understood that the first reinforcing rib 24 extends along the length direction of the bracket 2, and one end of the first reinforcing rib 24 is connected to the outer periphery of the first mounting hole 21, and the other end is connected to the outer periphery of the second mounting hole 22, so that the rigidity of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 can be improved, and then the transmission of the vibration of the suspension 1 can be reduced.

[0034] Among them, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first reinforcing rib 24 includes: a first rib segment 241, a second rib segment 242 and a third rib segment 243. The first rib segment 241 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the first mounting hole 21, the second rib segment 242 is connected to the first rib segment 241, the second rib segment 242 extends along a side edge of the width direction of the bracket 2, the third rib segment 243 is connected to the second rib segment 242, and the third rib segment 243 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the second mounting hole 22 after being bent relative to the second rib segment 242. That is to say, the first rib segment 241, the second rib segment 242 and the third rib segment 243 constitute the main structure of the first reinforcing rib 24, the first rib segment 241 is located at the periphery of the first mounting hole 21, thereby improving the rigidity of the first mounting hole 21, the second rib segment 242 is connected to one end of the first rib segment 241, and the second rib segment 242 is arranged along the length direction of the bracket 2, thereby improving the structural strength of the bracket 2, the third rib segment 243 is connected to the other end of the second rib segment 242, and the third rib segment 243 is bent relative to the second rib segment 242 and arranged at the periphery of the second mounting hole 22, thereby improving the rigidity of the second mounting hole 22, and further reducing the transmission of vibration of the suspension 1.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 2 is provided with a second reinforcing rib 25, and the second reinforcing rib 25 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the third mounting hole 23. It can be understood that the second reinforcing rib 25 is located on the surface of the bracket 2, and the second reinforcing rib 25 is located on the outer periphery of the third mounting hole 23, so that the structural strength of the bracket 2 and the rigidity of the third mounting hole 23 can be improved, and then the torsional limiting capacity, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1 can be improved.

[0036] In particular, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple second reinforcing ribs 25, at least two of the multiple second reinforcing ribs 25 extend in the direction adjacent to the first mounting hole 21 and are close to each other, at least two of the multiple second reinforcing ribs 25 extend in the direction adjacent to the second mounting hole 22 and are away from each other, and at least one of the multiple second reinforcing ribs 25 is connected to the first reinforcing rib 24. In other words, the multiple second reinforcing ribs 25 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the bracket 2, wherein two second reinforcing ribs 25 extend in the direction of the second mounting hole 22, and the other second reinforcing ribs 25 can be selectively connected to the first reinforcing rib 24, so that the structural strength of the bracket 2 and the rigidity of the third mounting hole 23 can be improved, and then the torsional limiting capacity, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1 can be improved.

[0037] In particular, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 2 has a reference plane, and the two surfaces of the bracket 2 in the thickness direction are symmetrical about the reference plane; the first reinforcing rib 24 and the second reinforcing rib 25 are respectively arranged on the two surfaces of the bracket 2 in the thickness direction and are symmetrical about the reference plane. It can be understood that the thickness direction of the bracket 2 is the up-down direction, the bracket 2 is symmetrical about the up-down direction, and the first reinforcing rib 24 and the second reinforcing rib 25 are located on the upper surface and the lower surface of the bracket 2, so that the first reinforcing rib 24 and the second reinforcing rib 25 can be symmetrical about the up-down direction, respectively. Such an arrangement can reduce the types of mold cavity development and the complexity of the process, thereby increasing the production life of the mold cavity, reducing cost investment and increasing revenue.

[0038] In addition, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 2 is provided with a third reinforcing rib 26, which is provided on the outer side wall of the second mounting hole 22 and extends in the circumferential direction, and the end of the third reinforcing rib 26 is connected to the first reinforcing rib 24. In other words, the third reinforcing rib 26 is located on the bracket 2, and the third reinforcing rib 26 is connected to the outer periphery of the second mounting hole 22, so that the structural strength of the bracket 2 and the rigidity of the second mounting hole 22 can be improved, and then the torsional limiting capacity, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1 can be improved.

[0039] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: the suspension 1 of the above embodiment, by arranging the first bushing 3, the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 on the bracket 2, so that the suspension 1 can be connected with the subframe and the powertrain, and the first bushing 3 and the second bushing 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the bracket 2, and the axes of the second bushing 4 and the third bushing 5 are parallel, so that the suspension 1 can have the characteristics of commonality, platformization, serialization, construction adaptability and good compatibility, and can also improve the torsional limiting ability, fatigue durability and vibration isolation performance of the suspension 1, thereby reducing the weight of the suspension 1 and saving costs.
