[0045] For a better understanding of the technical solutions of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "the", and "said" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0048] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used herein is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " herein generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0049] In the drawings herein, the direction X represents the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (the direction from the vehicle tail to the vehicle front), the direction Y represents the lateral direction of the vehicle (the direction from one side of the vehicle to the other side), the direction Z represents the height direction of the vehicle (the direction from the vehicle bottom to the vehicle top), and the directions X, Y, and Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0050] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a suspension mounting bracket for a vehicle. Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the suspension mounting bracket 1 is used to be mounted on the wheel housing 2 and the longitudinal beam 3 of the vehicle. The wheel housing 2 is used to cover the vehicle wheel (not shown in the figure), and the wheel housing 2 can protect the wheel. The longitudinal beam 3 is one of the structures of the vehicle frame. The longitudinal beam 3 is used to provide the required structural strength for the vehicle, and the longitudinal beam 3 is also used to mount other vehicle parts. Specifically, the longitudinal beam 3 can be one of the engine compartment frame structures of the vehicle, or in other words, the longitudinal beam 3 can be a front longitudinal beam structure.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the suspension mounting bracket 1 is an integrally formed structural member. The suspension mounting bracket 1 includes an air filter mounting structure 1a and an engine mount mounting structure 1b. The air filter mounting structure 1a is used to mount an air filter (not shown in the figure), and the air filter is used to filter particulate impurities in the air to reduce the possibility of the engine being severely worn due to inhaling a large amount of particulate impurities during operation. The engine mount mounting structure 1b is used to mount an engine mount, and the engine mount is used to reduce the vibration energy transmitted from the engine to the outside during operation, that is, the engine mount plays a shock-absorbing role between the engine mount mounting structure 1b and the engine.

[0052] In the prior art, the bracket for installing the air filter and the bracket for installing the engine mount are separately provided. Moreover, in the prior art, the number of brackets for installing the same engine mount is at least two, and at least two brackets for installing the same engine mount are separately provided. In the prior art, the number of parts of the bracket is relatively large, the required manufacturing processes are relatively many, and the required manufacturing equipment is relatively many. Correspondingly, the production cycle is relatively long. Secondly, the wheelhouse installed with the separately provided brackets in the prior art needs a relatively large volume or a relatively many reinforcing structures to provide appropriate structural strength so as to stably carry the air filter, the engine mount, and the engine. However, the weight of the wheelhouse is relatively large, resulting in a relatively heavy vehicle, and thus a relatively large energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, since the mount installation bracket 1 is an integrally formed structural member, the number of parts is less, the required manufacturing processes are less, and the required manufacturing equipment is less. Correspondingly, the production cycle is shorter. Secondly, the integrally formed mount installation bracket 1 has relatively high structural strength, and the volume of the wheelhouse 2 to be installed on the mount installation bracket 1 can be relatively small, or the reinforcing structure of the wheelhouse 2 to be installed on the mount installation bracket 1 can be relatively few. Correspondingly, the weight of the wheelhouse 2 can be relatively small, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the vehicle, the energy consumption of the vehicle is low, and the user experience is good.

[0054] Wherein, the air filter installation structure 1a can be any structure such as a hole structure, a column structure, a groove structure, etc. that can be used for detachable connection. Similarly, the engine mount installation structure 1b can be any structure such as a hole structure, a column structure, a groove structure, etc. that can be used for detachable connection.

[0055] In addition, the number of the air filter installation structures 1a is at least two, and the number of the engine mount installation structures 1b is at least two.

[0056] Furthermore, the height of the position where the air filter installation structure 1a is located is higher than the height of the position where the engine mount installation structure 1b is located, so that the air filter and the engine mount are misaligned in the height direction, thereby reducing the possibility of structural interference between the air filter and the engine mount.

[0057] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2As shown in the figure, the suspension mounting bracket 1 includes a connecting portion 11, an extending portion 12, and a protruding portion 13. The connecting portion 11 serves as the main structure of the suspension mounting bracket 1. The connecting portion 11 is mounted on the wheel housing 2 and the longitudinal beam 3 so that the suspension mounting bracket 1 can be fixed relative to the wheel housing 2 and the longitudinal beam 3. The extending portion 12 extends from the connecting portion 11, and the air filter mounting structure 1a is provided on the extending portion 12. The protruding portion 13 protrudes relative to the connecting portion 11, and the engine mount mounting structure 1b is provided on the protruding portion 13. Among them, the extending portion 12 extends from the connecting portion 11 in a direction away from the protruding portion 13, so that the air filter mounted on the air filter mounting structure 1a or the extending portion 12 can be away from the engine mount mounted on the engine mount mounting structure 1b or the protruding portion 13, thereby reducing the possibility of structural interference between the air filter and the engine mount during the assembly process. The protruding portion 13 not only serves as a structure for carrying the engine mount, but the protruding portion 13 can also play a role in improving the bending structural strength of the suspension mounting bracket 1.

[0058] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the extending portion 12 includes a first extending portion 121 and a second extending portion 122. The first extending portion 121 extends from the connecting portion 11 in a direction away from the protruding portion 13, and the second extending portion 122 extends from the end of the first extending portion 121 that is away from the connecting portion 11. The extending direction of the first extending portion 121 intersects with the extending direction of the second extending portion 122, and the air filter mounting structure 1a is provided on the second extending portion 122. In this setting, the air filter mounted on the air filter mounting structure 1a or the second extending portion 122 can be away from the engine mount mounted on the engine mount mounting structure 1b or the protruding portion 13, thereby reducing the possibility of structural interference between the air filter and the engine mount.

[0059] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first extending portion 121 extends in the height direction, or the first extending portion 121 extends in a direction close to the height direction, so that the second extending portion 122 is away from the protruding portion 13 in the height direction, so that the air filter mounted on the air filter mounting structure 1a or the second extending portion 122 can be away from the engine mount mounted on the engine mount mounting structure 1b or the protruding portion 13 in the height direction; and a spaced space A is provided between the second extending portion 122 and the wheel housing 2. This spaced space A facilitates accommodating a structure connected to the engine mount mounting structure 1b (such as at least one of a connection structure of the air filter and a threaded fastener), thereby facilitating the installation or disassembly of the structure connected to the engine mount mounting structure 1b.

[0060] Among them, the second extension portion 122 can extend laterally from one end of the first extension portion 121 away from the connection portion 11, so that the second extension portion 122 has a planar structure, which is parallel to the horizontal plane or parallel to a plane close to the horizontal plane, and this planar structure can better carry the air filter.

[0061] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the connection between the first extension portion 121 and the connection portion 11 includes a strengthening structure 14, such as a reinforcing rib, a reinforcing cavity or other structures that improve the structural strength, so as to reduce the possibility of structural problems such as plastic deformation, cracking or fracture at the connection between the first extension portion 121 and the connection portion 11.

[0062] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the suspension mounting bracket 1 includes two extension portions 12 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the longitudinal beam 3. The edge of the connection portion 11 further includes a first flanging structure 111 located between the two extension portions 12. The first flanging structure 111 includes a first end portion 111a and a second end portion 111b arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the longitudinal beam 3. The first end portion 111a is connected to one of the extension portions 12, and the second end portion 111b is connected to the other extension portion 12. Since the first flanging structure 111, which is the edge structure of the connection portion 11, is inclined relative to the main structure of the connection portion 11, this setting makes the bending structural strength of the edge structure of the connection portion 11 relatively large, and the possibility of structural problems such as plastic deformation, cracking or fracture at the connection between the two extension portions 12 connected to the first flanging structure 111 and the connection portion 11 is relatively low.

[0063] Among them, the first extension portion 121 of the extension portion 12 is connected to the first flanging structure 111.

[0064] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, both the first end portion 111a and the second end portion 111b are bending structures. In this setting, the first end portion 111a and the second end portion 111b are pre-bending structural members, and prestress exists inside the pre-bending structural members. This prestress resists the external force borne by the connection between the extension portion 12 and the connection portion 11, thereby reducing the possibility of structural problems such as plastic deformation, cracking or fracture at the connection between the extension portion 12 and the connection portion 11.

[0065] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2As shown, the connecting portion 11 includes a first connecting portion 112 and a second connecting portion 113 that are connected to each other. The first connecting portion 112 is used to connect with the wheel housing 2, and the second connecting portion 113 is used to connect with the longitudinal beam 3. The extending portion 12 extends from the first connecting portion 112 in a direction away from the protruding portion 13. The protruding portion 13 includes a first protruding portion 131, a second protruding portion 132, and a third protruding portion 133 that are separately arranged. The first protruding portion 131 protrudes relative to the first connecting portion 112, and both the second protruding portion 132 and the third protruding portion 133 protrude relative to the second connecting portion 113. Corresponding engine mount installation structures 1b are provided on the first protruding portion 131, the second protruding portion 132, and the third protruding portion 133. With this arrangement, the structural strength of the mount installation bracket 1 is relatively high, and it can reliably carry the engine mount and the engine, thereby facilitating the improvement of the shock absorption effect of the engine mount. Secondly, there is no need to provide a large number of strengthening structures inside the wheel housing 2 to meet the structural strength of the mount installation bracket 1. Therefore, the weight of the wheel housing 2 is small, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the vehicle, and thus the energy consumption of the vehicle can be reduced.

[0066] Among them, the first connecting portion 112 is inclined relative to the second connecting portion 113, and the second connecting portion 113 is mainly installed on the top wall of the longitudinal beam 3.

[0067] In addition, as a structural member formed by stamping a sheet metal structural member, the protruding setting of the protruding portion 13 relative to the connecting portion 11 can be regarded as being generated by the local structure of the sheet metal structural member being stamped and deformed. Correspondingly, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a cavity B is formed by enclosing the side of the first protruding portion 131 facing the wheel housing 2, and this cavity B is covered by the wheel housing 2. Secondly, as a sheet metal structure formed by stamping deformation, the protruding portion 13 has a relatively high bending structural strength. Correspondingly, the number of strengthening structures required for the wheel housing 2 connected to the mount installation bracket 1 is small, and the manufacturing difficulty of the wheel housing 2 is low.

[0068] Furthermore, the connection portion between the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113 includes a stepped structure 114, and the stepped structure 114 is used to improve the structural strength of the mount installation bracket 1, so that the mount installation bracket 1 can better carry the engine mount.

[0069] In addition, the first flanging structure 111 is connected to the first connecting portion 112.

[0070] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2As shown, a through hole 15 is provided at the connection between the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113, and a partial structure of the through hole 15 is located between the second protruding portion 132 and the third protruding portion 133. The through hole 15 is used for a welding tool to pass through, so that the welding tool can weld the structures of the wheel housing 2 and the longitudinal beam 3 that are blocked by the suspension mounting bracket 1 under the assembly conditions of the suspension mounting bracket 1, the wheel housing 2, and the longitudinal beam 3. Secondly, the position setting of the through hole 15 does not disconnect the structure of the second connecting portion 113 located between the second protruding portion 132 and the third protruding portion 133. Therefore, the second protruding portion 132 and the third protruding portion 133 are still connected through a partial structure of the second connecting portion 113. Therefore, the structural strength of the second protruding portion 132, the third protruding portion 133, and the connecting structure therebetween is relatively high, so that the suspension mounting bracket 1 can better carry the engine mount.

[0071] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the connecting portion 11 further includes a second flanging structure 115. The edge of the second connecting portion 113 away from the first connecting portion 112 is connected to the second flanging structure 115. The second flanging structure 115 is used to improve the structural strength of the suspension mounting bracket 1, so that the suspension mounting bracket 1 can better carry the engine mount.

[0072] Wherein, the second flanging structure 115 is used to connect to the side wall of the longitudinal beam 3 facing away from the wheel housing 2.

[0073] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which includes the suspension mounting bracket 1, the wheel housing 2, and the longitudinal beam 3 described above. Correspondingly, the vehicle also includes the technical effects of the suspension mounting bracket 1 described above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] Wherein, the wheel housing 2 includes a connected wheel housing front plate 21 and a wheel housing body 22. The wheel housing front plate 21 and the wheel housing body 22 are distributed in the extending direction of the longitudinal beam 3, and the first connecting portion 112 of the suspension mounting bracket 1 is connected to the wheel housing front plate 21.

[0075] In addition, the wheel housing front plate 21 may include structures such as reinforcing ribs to improve the structural strength.

[0076] Furthermore, the connection relationship between the wheel housing front plate 21 and the wheel housing body 22 may be welding or integrally formed.

[0077] In addition, the wheel housing 2 may be the front wheel housing of the vehicle.
