Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobiles. Specifically, the utility model relates to a rear swing arm bushing bracket of a front subframe and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The road noise problem of new energy vehicles is particularly prominent compared with traditional fuel vehicles. As an important system on the transmission path of road noise structure noise, the NVH performance of the front suspension directly affects the level of the vehicle's road noise. At the same time, most new energy vehicle front suspensions adopt the MacPherson structure. The excitation of the road surface is concentratedly transmitted to the front subframe through the swing arm, and then transmitted to the vehicle interior through the front subframe, generating relatively large road noise. As an important path point, the swing arm bracket with good NVH performance can attenuate most of the excitation transmitted from the road surface, thereby improving the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.

[0003] As Figure 2 shown, the material property of the existing rear swing arm bushing bracket of the front subframe is aluminum alloy, which is integrally cast. Although it can meet the requirements of stiffness and strength, it has high cost and large weight and cannot meet the requirements of lightweight.

[0004] Chinese Patent with application number 201810137124.2 discloses a vehicle front subframe structure, including a left steering gear sleeve, a left reinforcing plate, a mounting bracket, a left front swing arm bracket, a left mounting bracket of the front subframe, a left front swing arm reinforcing plate, a left bushing, a left rear swing arm bracket reinforcing plate, a left rear swing arm bracket, a subframe upper plate, a right rear swing arm bracket, a right rear swing arm bracket reinforcing plate, a right bushing, a right front swing arm reinforcing plate, a right mounting bracket of the front subframe, a right front swing arm bracket, a mounting bracket reinforcing plate, a right steering gear sleeve, a right reinforcing plate, a rear reinforcing plate of the front subframe and a subframe lower plate. The subframe upper plate and the subframe lower plate are fixedly connected by welding. The mounting bracket, the left rear swing arm bracket and the right rear swing arm bracket are all fixedly connected with the subframe upper plate by welding. The mounting points where the "ingot-shaped" front subframe is connected to the vehicle body are separated from the mounting points of the swing arm large bushing, being two mounting points, which greatly reduces the force on each mounting point.

[0005] It is desired to provide an improved rear swing arm bushing bracket of the front subframe, especially regarding how to meet the requirements of lightweight. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the utility model provides a rear swing arm bushing bracket of the front subframe, aiming to meet the requirements of lightweight.
