Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile vibration isolation suspension, and in particular relates to a secondary vibration isolation suspension of an electric vehicle and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The most commonly used vibration isolation mount in existing cars is the primary vibration isolation mount. There are two main types. One is the rubber vibration isolation mount, which is also the most commonly used vibration isolation mount. The commonly used rubber vibration isolator has poor impact resistance at low frequencies and cannot effectively cope with the demand for increased vibration and impact resistance brought about by the increasing engine power and the trend of lightweight cars. The other is the hydraulic vibration isolation mount. This hydraulic vibration isolator has strong impact resistance, but poor vibration isolation ability at high frequencies, and cannot effectively cope with the high-frequency noise problem currently highlighted by electric vehicles.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of high-frequency noise, especially the whistling sound caused by gear meshing of the gearbox or motor excitation of new energy, some electric vehicles have begun to adopt two-stage vibration isolation technology. For example, Chinese invention patent CN110103694A discloses a two-stage vibration isolation hydraulic mount, which uses a two-stage vibration isolation composed of hydraulic vibration isolation and rubber vibration isolation. This mount is used for rear motor suspension. Since the front cabin suspension has high space requirements, this mount cannot be applied to the front cabin suspension. In addition, the two-stage vibration isolation component of the suspension is redesigned based on the main spring component of the rubber suspension, resulting in a complex suspension structure, a long cycle, and inconvenience for platformization. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further technical solution, the bushing inner core, bushing rubber and bushing outer tube are all cylindrical structures, and the bolt passes through the interior of the bushing inner core.

[0011] As a further technical solution, both ends of the first bushing structure are provided with limit pads and limit plates.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the bushing inner core, bushing rubber and bushing outer tube are interference fit.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the small bushing structure includes a small bushing inner core, a small bushing rubber and a small bushing outer tube which are sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside.

[0019] The secondary vibration isolation suspension provided by the utility model connects the suspension bracket to the battery bracket and fixes them by bolts at the secondary vibration isolation position of the suspension bracket. This design can not only improve the impact resistance of the car in the low frequency band, but also effectively improve the gearbox or motor howling problem in the high frequency band, and at the same time meet the fatigue strength requirements of the battery bracket arranged on the suspension bracket.

[0020] The secondary vibration isolation suspension provided by the utility model adopts the existing structure for the main spring assembly, and only needs to adopt a bushing structure at the connection position between the suspension bracket and the vehicle body to realize it.
