[0003] At present, the front motor is mounted on the motor-end mounting seat, the motor-end mounting seat is connected to the suspension, the suspension is connected to the subframe, and the electric compressor is connected to the subframe through the electric compressor mounting seat. When the vehicle collides, the electric compressor moves backward and squeezes the suspension, causing the high-voltage wire connector of the electric compressor to be squeezed against the motor-end mounting seat, making the high-voltage wire connector at risk of short circuit. The existing conventional solution provides a fast-fuse fuse in the fuse box, which can quickly cut off the circuit when the high-voltage connector of the electric compressor is squeezed and short-circuited. However, the large current generated by the fast-fuse fuse during the melting process still poses a safety hazard to the power battery, and the safety risk during the fuse melting process cannot be avoided. Utility Model Content

This is to address the problem that when a pure electric vehicle crashes, the high-voltage wire connector of the electric compressor and the motor end mounting bracket are squeezed and short-circuited. The high current generated by the existing fast-blow fuse during the fusing process still poses a safety hazard to the power battery, and the safety risk during the fuse fusing process cannot be avoided. A second objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0007] A suspension is provided on the sub-frame, and an abutment limiter is provided on the suspension. When the vehicle collides, the abutment limiter is used to limit the longitudinal movement of the electric compressor along the sub-frame;

[0008] The second mounting base is used to mount the motor, and the second mounting base is connected to the suspension.

[0009] Optionally, the abutment limiting portion and the high-voltage wire connector both extend in the longitudinal direction of the sub-frame, and a length L1 of the abutment limiting portion is greater than a length L2 of the high-voltage wire connector.

[0010] Optionally, the abutment limiting portion and the high-voltage wire connector are offset in a transverse direction of the sub-frame.

[0011] Optionally, the offset distance D1 between the abutment limiting portion and the high-voltage line connector is ≥5 mm.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-section of the abutment limiting portion is circular or polygonal.

[0013] Optionally, the width of the abutting limit portion and the overlapping width D2 of the electric compressor are ≥ 25 mm.

[0014] Optionally, the thickness of the abutting limit portion overlaps with the thickness H of the electric compressor ≥ 25 mm.

[0015] Optionally, the suspension includes a left suspension and a right suspension, and the first mounting seat and the right suspension are arranged on the same side of the sub-frame.

[0027] Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the application environment of the present invention will be described. The technology of the present invention is primarily applied in the field of automotive collision safety technology. The present invention is designed to address the problem that when a pure electric vehicle is involved in a collision, the high-voltage wire connector of the electric compressor and the motor end mounting bracket are squeezed and short-circuited. The high current generated by the existing fast-blow fuse during the fusing process still poses a safety hazard to the power battery, and the safety risk of the fuse fusing process cannot be avoided.

[0028] Please combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a suspension structure that avoids the risk of high voltage in the front compartment of a pure electric vehicle.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a first mounting seat 1 is provided on the sub-frame 2, and the first mounting seat 1 is used to mount the electric compressor 3, and the electric compressor 3 is provided with a high-voltage wire connector 301; a suspension is provided on the sub-frame 2, and an abutment limit portion 503a is provided on the suspension. When the vehicle collides, the abutment limit portion 503a is used to limit the longitudinal movement of the electric compressor 3 along the sub-frame 2; a second mounting seat 6 is used to mount the motor 7, and the second mounting seat 6 is connected to the suspension.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first mounting seat 1 is provided at the front end of the suspension and the second mounting seat 6 along the longitudinal direction of the subframe 2. Therefore, when the front end of the vehicle is involved in a front-end collision, the electric compressor 3 located at the front end is impacted and moves backward toward the suspension and the second mounting seat 6. When the high-voltage line connector 301 on the electric compressor 3 is squeezed by the second mounting seat 6, a high-voltage short circuit risk may occur. In this embodiment, by providing an abutment limiter 503a on the suspension, when the vehicle is involved in a collision, the abutment limiter 503a can block and limit the longitudinal movement of the electric compressor 3 along the subframe 2, thereby preventing the high-voltage line connector 301 on the electric compressor 3 from being squeezed and short-circuited with the second mounting seat 6, thereby physically blocking the risk of squeezing the high-voltage line connector 301. By adding the abutment limiter 503a to the existing suspension, no additional components are required for the entire vehicle, and there is no need to optimize the suspension position and the layout of the electric compressor 3. While physically blocking the risk of squeezing the high-voltage line connector 301, the design difficulty and manufacturing cost of the vehicle are reduced. In addition, the present application sets an abutment limit portion 503a on the suspension structure and combines it with a fast-blow fuse set in the front cabin fuse box to serve as a double insurance against high-voltage risks of pure electric vehicles, further improving the safety performance of pure electric vehicles.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the abutting limit portion 503 a and the high-voltage wire connector 301 both extend longitudinally of the sub-frame 2 , and the length L1 of the abutting limit portion 503 a is greater than the length L2 of the high-voltage wire connector 301 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the length of the abutment limit portion 503a is designed to be greater than the length of the high-voltage line connector 301. When the structural strength of the abutment limit portion 503a is greater than the collision strength, it can effectively ensure that the high-voltage line connector 301 cannot come into contact and be squeezed with the second mounting seat 6; when the structural strength of the abutment limit portion 503a is less than the collision strength, it ensures that before the high-voltage line connector 301 comes into contact and be squeezed with the second mounting seat 6, the abutment limit portion 503a can effectively block the electric compressor 3 from moving longitudinally along the sub-frame 2.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the abutting limit portion 503 a and the high-voltage wire connector 301 are offset in the transverse direction of the sub-frame 2 .

[0034] In this embodiment, it is ensured that the abutting limit portion 503 a does not come into contact with or be pressed against the high-voltage line connector 301 of the electric compressor 3 .

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the offset distance D1 between the abutting limiting portion 503 a and the high-voltage line connector 301 is ≥5 mm.

[0036] In this embodiment, the offset distance between the abutment limit portion 503a and the high-voltage line connector 301 is designed to be greater than or equal to 5 mm, so as to avoid the risk of the electric compressor 3 being offset during the longitudinal rearward movement of the sub-frame 2 during a collision, resulting in contact and extrusion between the high-voltage connector and the abutment limit portion 503a.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the cross-section of the abutting limiting portion 503 a is circular or polygonal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the abutment and limiting portion 503a is designed as a convex portion that protrudes along the longitudinal direction of the sub-frame 2 and toward the electric compressor 3. The abutment and limiting portion 503a includes but is not limited to being designed as a cylinder, a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, a pentagonal prism, etc., that is, the cross-section is circular or polygonal; in the embodiment shown in this application, the cross-section of the abutment and limiting portion 503a is rectangular.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the width of the abutting limit portion 503 a and the overlapping width D2 of the electric compressor 3 are ≥ 25 mm.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the abutting limit portion 503 a overlaps with the thickness H of the electric compressor 3 by 25 mm or more.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the abutment limit portion 503a can play a role in blocking and limiting the electric compressor 3, the width of the abutment limit portion 503a and the overlapping width of the electric compressor 3 are designed to be greater than or equal to 25 mm, and the thickness of the abutment limit portion 503a and the overlapping thickness of the electric compressor 3 are greater than or equal to 25 mm, so that the contact area between the abutment limit portion 503a and the electric compressor 3 is large enough, and the resistance provided by the abutment limit portion 503a is sufficient to block the inertia force of the electric compressor 3 moving longitudinally along the sub-frame 2.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the suspension includes a left suspension 4 and a right suspension 5 , and the first mounting seat 1 and the right suspension 5 are arranged on the same side of the sub-frame 2 .

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the right suspension 5 includes a right bushing seat 501, a right bushing 502 and a right connecting arm 503. The right bushing seat 501 is connected to the subframe 2, the right bushing 502 is installed in the right bushing seat 501, the right connecting arm 503 is arranged in the right bushing 502, and the abutment limit portion 503a is arranged on the right connecting arm 503.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first mounting seat 1 is arranged on one side of the subframe 2 where the right suspension 5 is located. Therefore, it is only necessary to set an abutment limit portion 503a on the right connecting arm 503 to physically block the risk of short circuit caused by contact and extrusion between the high-voltage line connector 301 and the second mounting seat 6. There is no need to set an abutment limit portion 503a on both the left suspension 4 and the right suspension 5, which saves manufacturing costs and is beneficial to the lightweight effect of the vehicle; there is no need to additionally optimize the suspension position, nor is there any need to additionally optimize the layout position of the compressor, which effectively reduces the design difficulty of the vehicle, has low mold change costs, and is simple and easy to implement.

[0045] The present application also proposes a vehicle, comprising the suspension structure as described above for avoiding the risk of high voltage in the front cabin of a pure electric vehicle.

[0046] The operating principle is that by providing an abutment limiter 503a on the mount, when the vehicle collides, the abutment limiter 503a can block and limit the longitudinal movement of the electric compressor 3 along the subframe 2, thereby preventing a short circuit between the high-voltage wire connector 301 on the electric compressor 3 and the second mounting seat 6, and physically blocking the risk of a short circuit between the high-voltage wire connector 301 and the second mounting seat 6. By adding the abutment limiter 503a to the existing mount, the vehicle does not need additional components, and there is no need to optimize the mount position and the placement of the electric compressor 3, reducing the design difficulty and manufacturing costs of the vehicle.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
