Therefore, when the vehicle has a head-on collision, on the one hand, the anti-collision beam 1 The impact load is transferred to the lower longitudinal beam 3, forming a load transfer path. On the other hand, the impact load on the anti-collision beam 1 is transferred to the bridging beam 5 through the bridging portion 4, and then transferred to the upper longitudinal beam 2, forming a load transfer path.

The first reinforcement welding edge 58 and the second reinforcement welding edge 59 are welded to the energy absorbing mounting plate 7, and the third reinforcement welding edge 60, the fourth reinforcement welding edge 61 and the fifth reinforcement welding edge 62 are welded to the surface of the mounting body 21. As shown Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the reinforcing mounting plate 53 of the reinforcing bracket 12 forms an "X" shape with the third support leg, the fourth reinforcing welded edge 61, the second support leg, and the third reinforcing welded edge 60. The bridging beam 5 forms a direct force transmission channel between the reinforcing bracket 12 and the upper longitudinal beam 2, which helps improve the stiffness of the subframe mounting point 20 on the mounting bracket 8 in the X, Y, and Z directions.
[0063] In one embodiment, a protective cover 13 is provided between the bridging beam 5 and the lower longitudinal beam 3 , and a closed ring structure is formed between the lower longitudinal beam 3 , the protective cover 13 , the bridging beam 5 and the mounting bracket 8 .
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 28 As shown, a protective cover 13 is connected between the bridging beam 5 and the lower side member 3. The protective cover 13 is located behind the mounting bracket 8. A closed loop structure is formed between the lower side member 3, the protective cover 13, the bridging beam 5, and the mounting bracket 8. This helps to improve the front end rigidity of the vehicle and provide excellent frontal collision safety performance. The protective cover 13 is a wheel housing.
[0065] In one embodiment, a shock-absorbing tower 14 is connected between the upper longitudinal beam 2 and the lower longitudinal beam 3 , a first reinforcement portion 15 is provided on the inner wall of the shock-absorbing tower 14 , and a second reinforcement portion 16 is provided between the first reinforcement portion 15 and the lower longitudinal beam 3 .
[0066] like Figure 30As shown, a shock tower 14 is disposed between the upper longitudinal beam 2 and the lower longitudinal beam 3. This tower 14 is used to mount shock-absorbing components such as the suspension. A first reinforcement 15 is disposed within the top inner cavity of the shock tower 14 to enhance the rigidity of the shock tower 14. Furthermore, a second reinforcement 16 is connected between the first reinforcement 15 and the lower longitudinal beam 3 (lower longitudinal beam outer plate 19) to enhance the stability of the connection between the lower longitudinal beam 3 and the shock tower 14. Both the first reinforcement 15 and the second reinforcement 16 are plate materials and are connected to the inner wall of the shock tower 14.
[0067] In one embodiment, the cross section of the bridge portion 4 along the horizontal section and the cross section along the vertical section are both multi-cavity structures.
[0068] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal cross-section of the bridge portion 4 has a four-cavity structure. Specifically, the lower longitudinal sill inner plate 18 and the lower longitudinal sill outer plate 19 form a first cavity 63, the lower longitudinal sill outer plate 19 and the mounting bracket 8 form a second cavity 64, the reinforcing bracket 12, the energy-absorbing mounting plate 7, and the mounting bracket 8 form a third cavity 65, and the bridge beam 5 forms a fourth cavity 66. These four cavities form a four-square grid structure, which facilitates the distributed transfer of force at the subframe mounting point 20 when the mounting bracket 8 is connected to the subframe, thereby increasing the stiffness of the subframe mounting point 20 and thereby enhancing the vehicle's dynamic handling performance.
[0069] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the vertical cross-section of the bridging portion 4 along the left-right direction has a four-cavity structure. Specifically, the lower longitudinal sill inner plate 18 and the bridging ring 11 form a fifth cavity 67, the bracket body 43 and bracket support leg 44 of the third bracket 33, the bracket body 43 of the mounting bracket 8, and the second bracket 32 form a sixth cavity 68, the bottom platform 39 of the second bracket 32, the bracket body 43 of the third bracket 33, and the bracket body 43 of the mounting bracket 8 form a seventh cavity 69, and the reinforcing bracket 12 and the mounting bracket 8 form an eighth cavity 70. The four cavities form a four-square grid structure, which facilitates the distributed transmission of the force applied to the subframe mounting point 20 when the mounting bracket 8 is connected to the subframe, thereby improving the stiffness of the subframe mounting point 20 and enhancing the vehicle's dynamic handling performance.
