Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of automotive engineering, the shock absorber mounting beam, as an indispensable part of the suspension system, plays a crucial role. It is carefully designed to firmly connect the shock absorber to the crossbeam or longitudinal beam of the vehicle, thus constructing an efficient shock absorption system. The shock absorber, as the core component within the suspension system, its performance directly relates to the vibration control and stability during vehicle driving. Among them, the shock absorber effectively reduces the bump caused by road unevenness by precisely regulating the spring rebound rate and vibration amplitude, creating a smoother and more comfortable driving environment for the driver and passengers.

[0030] In the above-described solution, on the inner side of the second "U"-shaped support arm 6, a support seat 16 is designed and installed according to the installation requirements of the shock absorber 4. The support seat 16 should have sufficient strength and stiffness to support the weight of the shock absorber 4 and transmit the impact force from the road surface. The size and shape of the support seat 16 should ensure a tight fit with the inner side of the second "U"-shaped support arm 6 and provide sufficient space for the installation of the shock absorber 4.

During the opening process, it should be ensured that the accuracy and quality of the holes meet the design requirements to avoid adverse effects on the overall structure of the upper support plate 101. After the weight-reducing holes 21 are opened, necessary surface treatments are carried out on the upper support plate 101, such as removing burrs and cleaning the hole edges, etc., to improve the aesthetics and service performance of the upper support plate 101. Through the above specific work contents, the installation of the reinforcing ribs of the upper support plate 101 and the lower support plate 102 and the opening of the weight-reducing holes 21 of the upper support plate 101 are completed.
