[0030] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.
[0031] Reference is made below to Figures 1-5 describe the rear-end mounting structure 100 of the front subframe according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model.
[0032] As Figures 1-3 shown, the rear-end mounting structure 100 of the front subframe according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes: a front subframe (not shown in the drawings), a front bulkhead 20, and a connecting member 30.
[0033] Specifically, the connecting member 30 is connected to the front side of the front bulkhead 20. The connecting member 30 is provided with a connecting portion, and the connecting portion protrudes forward from the front bulkhead 20. The rear end of the front subframe is connected to the connecting portion.
[0034] Among them, for those skilled in the art, it can be understood that the battery pack is disposed at the rear side of the front bulkhead 20, and the front bulkhead 20 participates in enclosing to form a driving space inside the vehicle.
[0035] The connecting portion protrudes forward from the front bulkhead 20. After the rear end of the front subframe is connected to the connecting portion, a buffer space will be formed between the front subframe and the front bulkhead 20. When the vehicle collides and causes the front subframe to displace backward, the front subframe squeezes the connecting member 30 and the buffer space can provide a displacement space for the rear end of the front subframe. In this way, the probability of the front subframe invading the front bulkhead 20 and causing harm to the personnel in the driving space can be reduced, and the probability of the front subframe squeezing the battery pack can be reduced. At the same time, there is no need to reserve a safety space between the battery pack and the front bulkhead 20, and the size of the battery pack can be made larger, thereby improving the endurance of the battery pack.
[0036] When realizing the connection between the rear end of the front bulkhead 20 and the front subframe, by changing the dimensional parameters of the connecting member 30, the adaptation between the rear end of the front subframe and the front bulkhead 20 can be realized. Compared with the scheme of modifying the structures of the front subframe and the front bulkhead 20, the production cost can be reduced.
[0037] According to the rear-end mounting structure 100 of the front subframe in the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model, by connecting the rear end of the front subframe to the connecting portion located on the front side of the front bulkhead 20, when the front subframe is collided, the probability of the front subframe invading the front bulkhead 20 or squeezing the battery pack can be reduced, the safety of the vehicle can be improved, and the endurance of the battery pack will not be affected. By using the connecting member 30 to realize the installation of the rear end of the front subframe, there is no need to re-design the structures of the front bulkhead 20 and the front subframe, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the connecting portion is disposed on the lower side of the front bulkhead 20, and a weak area is formed on the connecting member 30. The weak area is configured to rupture when the backward impact force on the front subframe is greater than a set threshold, so that the connecting portion can move in the up and down directions.
[0039] When the impact force on the current subframe in the backward direction is greater than the set threshold value, the weak area ruptures. During the backward movement of the front subframe, under the action of gravity, the rear end of the front subframe will sink. In this way, when the front subframe moves backward, the rear end of the front subframe will extend into the lower side of the front apron 20 and the battery pack, thereby further improving the safety of the vehicle. At the same time, the structural deformation of the connecting member 30 has less influence on the area of the front apron 20, and the probability of the front apron 20 deforming and intruding into the vehicle interior space can be reduced.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the connecting member 30 further includes a connecting body 31 and a connecting plate 32. The connecting portion is formed on the connecting plate 32. The rear end of the connecting plate 32 is connected to the lower end of the front apron 20. The connecting plate 32 is connected to the connecting body 31. The weak area is provided between the connecting plate 32 and the connecting body 31. A plurality of tearing guiding holes 33 are formed in the weak area, and the plurality of tearing guiding holes 33 are arranged at intervals left and right.
[0041] When the front subframe is impacted, after the weak area ruptures, the rear end of the front subframe drives the connecting plate 32 to deform downward. At the same time, the rear end of the connecting plate 32 is connected to the lower end of the front apron 20, which can guide the deformation of the connecting plate 32, increase the probability of the front subframe extending into the lower side of the front apron 20 and the battery pack, further improve the safety of the vehicle, and the connecting plate 32 can prevent the rear end of the front subframe from falling off the vehicle, thereby reducing the damage of the front subframe to other parts of the vehicle and reducing the accident repair cost, and further improving the safety of the vehicle.
[0042] Preferably, the connecting plate 32 is welded to the front apron 20.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the rear end mounting structure 100 of the front subframe further includes: a suspension member 40, and the suspension member 40 is connected between the connecting plate 32 and the connecting body 31. The suspension member 40 is configured to be stretchable in the up and down direction.
[0044] When the front subframe drives the connecting plate 32 to deform, the connecting plate 32 stretches the suspension member 40 in the up and down direction. In this way, the rear end of the front subframe can drive the connecting portion to move in the up and down direction, and when the rear end of the connecting plate 32 falls off the front apron 20, the suspension member 40 can still suspend the connecting plate 32 on the connecting body 31, preventing the rear end of the front subframe from completely falling off the vehicle, and further improving the safety of the vehicle. In addition, during the normal operation of the vehicle, the suspension member 40 can also improve the reliability of the connection between the rear end of the front subframe and the vehicle body.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, such asFigure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , the suspension member 40 includes a suspension plate 41 which extends in the left - right direction of the vehicle. The connecting plate 32 is connected to the suspension plate 41. The upper end of the suspension plate 41 has a flanging 42 that folds forward, and the flanging 42 is connected to the connecting body 31.
[0046] During the process of the connecting plate 32 stretching the suspension member 40, the connecting plate 32 pulls the suspension plate 41 to move downward, so that the suspension plate 41 folds downward relative to the flanging 42. Thus, the stretching of the suspension plate 41 in the up - down direction can be realized. Preferably, the flanging 42 and the connecting body 31 are connected by welding.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, both the left and right ends of the suspension plate 41 are connected to the connecting body 31 through extension segments 43. The extension segments 43 extend along a curve and / or a broken line in the left - right direction of the vehicle. That is to say, the extension segments 43 may extend along a curve in the left - right direction of the vehicle, or the extension segments 43 may extend along a broken line in the left - right direction of the vehicle, or the extension segments 43 may extend along a curve and a broken line in the left - right direction of the vehicle.
[0048] During the process of the connecting plate 32 stretching the suspension member 40, the connecting plate 32 pulls the suspension plate 41 to move downward, and the suspension plate 41 folds relative to the flanging 42. At the same time, the suspension plate 41 stretches the extension segments 43. Thus, the stretching of the suspension plate 41 in the up - down direction can be realized. Among them, by connecting the left and right ends of the suspension plate 41 to the connecting body 31, the connection strength and connection reliability between the suspension plate 41 and the connecting body 31 can be improved. Preferably, the left and right ends of the suspension plate 41 and the connecting body 31 are connected by welding.
[0049] For the vehicle provided with the rear - end mounting structure 100 of the front sub - frame in this embodiment, after a frontal collision of the vehicle, the rear end of the front sub - frame moves towards the lower side of the front bulkhead 20 and the lower side of the battery pack. After multiple collision tests, the following results are obtained: Compared with the situation where the rear end of the front sub - frame is directly connected to the lower end of the front bulkhead 20, the occupant load criterion can be reduced by 10%, the dummy score is improved to full marks, the intrusion amount of the front bulkhead 20 is reduced by 50%, the dummy leg score is increased from 1.36 to 1.889, and the improvement ratio is 39%. The safety performance is significantly improved. At the same time, the materials used for strengthening the acting position at the rear end of the front sub - frame in the conventional setting can be saved, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting portion includes a fixing hole 321. An installation hole is formed at the rear end of the front subframe. The installation structure 100 of the rear end of the front subframe further includes: a fastener 50. The fastener 50 sequentially passes through the fixing hole 321 and the installation hole to connect the front subframe to the connecting member 30, and the fastener 50 is connected to the suspension member 40.
[0051] In this way, the connection between the connecting plate 32 and the suspension member 40 can be realized. Moreover, the contact area between the fastener 50 and the suspension member 40 is relatively large, which can improve the connection strength between the connecting plate 32 and the suspension member 40 and reduce the connection difficulty between the connecting plate 32 and the suspension member 40. Preferably, the fastener 50 is welded to the suspension plate 41 of the suspension member 40.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the installation structure 100 of the rear end of the front subframe further includes an engine compartment support beam. The engine compartment support beam includes: a longitudinal beam 11 and a cross beam 10.
[0053] Specifically, the longitudinal beam 11 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. There are two longitudinal beams 11, and the two longitudinal beams 11 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction of the vehicle. The rear end of the longitudinal beam 11 is connected to the front bulkhead 20. The cross beam 10 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. The cross beam 10 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 11 and the lower part of the front bulkhead 20 is connected to the cross beam 10. Among them, the cross beam 10 can improve the structural strength of the front bulkhead 20 area, and the cross beam 10 and the longitudinal beam 11 can provide support for the components in the front engine compartment.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the connection main body 31 includes: a first side plate 311, a second side plate 312 and a third side plate 313 that are sequentially connected in the left-right direction of the vehicle. After the first side plate 311, the second side plate 312 and the third side plate 313 are connected, they are in a U shape. The connecting plate 32 is connected to the lower ends of the first side plate 311, the second side plate 312 and the third side plate 313. The first side plate 311 is connected to the longitudinal beam 11. The second side plate 312 is connected to the longitudinal beam 11 and the cross beam 10. The third side plate 313 is connected to the cross beam 10 and the front bulkhead 20.
[0055] Thus, the arrangement of the connection main body 31 on the vehicle can be realized. Among them, a front bulkhead reinforcement plate is provided at the bottom of the front bulkhead 20. A first reinforcement plate is connected between the lower end of the longitudinal beam 11 and the bottom of the front bulkhead 20. A second reinforcement plate is connected between one side of the longitudinal beam 11 in the left-right direction and the front end of the front bulkhead 20.
