[0002] Currently, the subframe is the skeleton of the front and rear axles and is an important component of the front and rear axles. The subframe is not a complete frame, but only supports the front and rear axles and suspension brackets. The axles and suspension brackets are connected to the body through the subframe. Among them, in new energy vehicles, the subframe mainly supports components such as motors and control arms, and also provides installation locations for motors, control arms and other components. Traditional tubular beam subframes are usually composed of two longitudinal beams and two or three cross beams.

In particular, strength and fatigue problems are prone to occur in areas with relatively severe loads, such as the motor suspension mounting frame and the swing arm bracket. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a subframe reinforcement structure, which includes a crossbeam 1, a first longitudinal beam 21 and a second longitudinal beam 22. In this solution, the first longitudinal beam 21 and the second longitudinal beam 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbeam 1, and the crossbeam 1 is provided with a first motor suspension mounting bracket 11 and a second motor suspension mounting bracket 12 arranged at intervals. The first longitudinal beam 21 is provided with a first swing arm bracket 23, and the second longitudinal beam 22 is provided with a second swing arm bracket 24.
[0033] With the subframe reinforcement structure of the present invention, the crossbeam 1 and the first motor mount 11 are connected to one end of the first reinforcement 3, the other end of which is connected to the first longitudinal beam 21. The crossbeam 1 and the second motor mount 12 are connected to one end of the second reinforcement 4, the other end of which is connected to the second longitudinal beam 22. Because the motor mount and swing arm mounting points in the subframe are subject to relatively severe loads, this arrangement allows the first reinforcement 3 to further strengthen the connection strength between the crossbeam 1, the first motor mount 11, and the first longitudinal beam 21. Simultaneously, the second reinforcement 4 strengthens the connection strength between the crossbeam 1, the second motor mount 12, and the second longitudinal beam 22. This improves the overall force transmission of the subframe, thereby enhancing the structural strength and fatigue resistance of the subframe. The subframe reinforcement structure of the present invention effectively solves the existing subframe problem of insufficient strength at the intersection of the crossbeam and longitudinal beams, which can easily lead to insufficient strength and fatigue at the motor mount and swing arm brackets.
[0034] Optionally, the first reinforcement member 3 and the second reinforcement member 4 are made of QSTE420™.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting line 51 is the line connecting the center point of the first motor mount 11 and the center point of the first swing arm bracket 23, and the second connecting line 52 is the line connecting the center point of the second motor mount 12 and the center point of the second swing arm bracket 24. The first reinforcement 3 extends along the direction of the first connecting line 51. This arrangement allows the first reinforcement 3 to share the force of the horizontal load transmitted by the first swing arm bracket 23, transforming the original single force transmission path into two force transmission paths, thereby making the overall force distribution of the subframe reinforcement structure more uniform. Similarly, the second reinforcement 4 extends along the direction of the second connecting line 52. Similarly, the second reinforcement 4 can share the force of the horizontal load transmitted by the second swing arm bracket 24, thereby making the overall force distribution of the subframe reinforcement structure more uniform.
[0036] Specifically, the first reinforcement 3 includes a first reinforcement plate 31 and a second reinforcement plate 32 that are connected to each other. The first reinforcement plate 31 and the second reinforcement plate 32 are perpendicular to each other, connecting the crossbeam 1 and the first motor suspension mounting frame 11 to one end of the first reinforcement plate 31, and the other end of the first reinforcement plate 31 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 21. The crossbeam 1, the first motor suspension mounting frame 11 and the first longitudinal beam 21 can be connected through the first reinforcement plate 31; and one end of the second reinforcement plate 32 is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the other end of the second reinforcement plate 32 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 21. The shape of the first reinforcement plate 31 is generally triangular. This arrangement can better withstand the torsional load transmitted by the motor suspension, thereby improving the strength and fatigue resistance of the structure. The shape of the second reinforcement plate 32 is generally strip-shaped.
[0037] Optionally, the second reinforcing plate 32 has a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface, wherein the first connecting surface is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the second connecting surface is connected to the first longitudinal beam 21. The shape of the first connecting surface matches the outer wall of the crossbeam, and the shape of the second connecting surface matches the outer wall of the first longitudinal beam 21. In this embodiment, both the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are arc-shaped, which can improve the connection strength between the second reinforcing plate 32 and the crossbeam 1 and the first longitudinal beam 21.
[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the first reinforcing plate 31 has a first connecting edge 311 and a second connecting edge 312, wherein the length of the first connecting edge 311 is greater than the length of the second connecting edge 312. This arrangement can increase the connection area between the first reinforcing plate 31 and the crossbeam 1 and improve the connection strength. The first connecting edge 311 is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the second connecting edge 312 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 21.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing plate 31 and the second reinforcing plate 32 both have first weight-reducing holes 33. This configuration can reduce the weight of the first reinforcing plate 31 and the second reinforcing plate 32, thereby achieving the purpose of lightweighting the entire subframe.
[0040] Specifically, the first reinforcing plate 31 and the second reinforcing plate 32 each have a first positioning hole 34. This arrangement allows the first positioning hole 34 to serve as a positioning tool when the first reinforcing plate 31 is welded to the crossbeam 1 and the first longitudinal beam 21; similarly, the first positioning hole 34 serves as a positioning tool when the second reinforcing plate 32 is welded to the crossbeam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 22.
[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second reinforcement 4 includes a third reinforcement plate 41 and a fourth reinforcement plate 42 that are interconnected. The third reinforcement plate 41 and the fourth reinforcement plate 42 are perpendicular to each other. The crossbeam 1 and the second motor suspension mounting frame 12 are both connected to one end of the third reinforcement plate 41, and the other end of the third reinforcement plate 41 is connected to the second longitudinal beam 22. The crossbeam 1, the second motor suspension mounting frame 12 and the second longitudinal beam 22 can be connected through the third reinforcement plate 41; one end of the fourth reinforcement plate 42 is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the other end of the fourth reinforcement plate 42 is connected to the second longitudinal beam 22. The shape of the third reinforcement plate 41 is generally triangular. This arrangement can better withstand the torsional load transmitted by the motor suspension, thereby improving the strength and fatigue resistance of the structure. The shape of the fourth reinforcement plate 42 is generally strip-shaped, and the structure of the fourth reinforcement plate 42 is the same as that of the second reinforcement plate 32.
[0042] Furthermore, the third reinforcing plate 41 has a third connecting edge 411 and a fourth connecting edge 412. The length of the third connecting edge 411 is greater than the length of the fourth connecting edge 412. This arrangement can increase the connection area between the third connecting edge 411 and the beam 1, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the third reinforcing plate 41 and the beam 1; the fourth connecting edge 412 is connected to the second longitudinal beam 22.
[0043] Optionally, the fourth reinforcing plate 42 has a second weight-reducing hole. This arrangement can reduce the weight of the fourth reinforcing plate 42, thereby achieving the purpose of lightweighting the entire subframe.
[0044] Specifically, the third reinforcing plate 41 and the fourth reinforcing plate 42 both have a second positioning hole 43. In this way, when the third reinforcing plate 41 and the fourth reinforcing plate 42 are welded, the second positioning hole 43 can play a role in positioning.
[0045] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including the subframe reinforcement structure of the above-mentioned scheme. In a vehicle using the present invention, the first reinforcement member 3 can further enhance the connection strength between the crossbeam 1, the first motor suspension mounting frame 11, and the first longitudinal beam 21; at the same time, the second reinforcement member 4 can enhance the connection strength between the crossbeam 1, the second motor suspension mounting frame 12, and the second longitudinal beam 22. This makes the overall force transmission of the subframe more reasonable, thereby improving the overall structural strength and fatigue resistance of the subframe. The vehicle using the present invention effectively solves the problem of insufficient strength and fatigue at the motor suspension mounting frame and the swing arm bracket in the existing subframe due to insufficient strength at the intersection of the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
