[0045] The present application provides a control arm connection structure and a vehicle.

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a control arm connection structure, comprising a steering knuckle 1 and a control arm 2. The steering knuckle 1 includes a first assembly portion, and the control arm 2 includes a second assembly portion. One of the first and second assembly portions includes a first assembly plate 3 and a second assembly plate 4 arranged in a spaced relationship, and the other includes a clamping end 5 assembled between the first and second assembly plates 3 and 4. The first assembly plate 3 defines a first assembly hole, the second assembly plate 4 defines a second assembly hole, and the clamping end 5 defines a third assembly hole. The control arm connection structure also includes a bolt 6 and a nut 7. The bolt 6 includes a bolt head 62 and a screw 61 connected to the bolt head 62. The screw 61 passes through the first, third, and second assembly holes, respectively, and is tightened and secured by the nut 7 to securely connect the steering knuckle 1 and the control arm 2. The screw 61 includes a first section 611 proximate the bolt head 62. The first section 611 includes a screw body and a plurality of hobbed teeth disposed on the circumferential outer surface of the screw body. The plurality of hobbed teeth form an interference fit with the third assembly hole.

[0048] It should be noted that the shape of the hobbed teeth is similar to that of the meshing teeth on a gear, with a tooth base circle and a tooth tip circle. Along the circumference of the screw body, the tooth base circles of the multiple hobbed teeth can be arranged sequentially without spacing or with regular spacing. Nut 7 is a hexagonal flange nut with a grade 10 strength to ensure its strength meets the requirements when tightened.

[0049] The control arm connection structure of the present application can be used to install the front control arm and the front steering knuckle, and can also be used to install the rear control arm and the rear steering knuckle; the control arm 2 can be the rear upper control arm or the rear lower control arm. The rear steering knuckle is an important connection conversion mechanism that connects the inside and opens the outside in the rear multi-link independent suspension, and plays the role of transmitting force and torque; the inner mounting point of the rear steering knuckle is connected to the rear upper control arm, the rear lower control arm 10, the rear transverse arm 11, and the rear trailing arm, realizing the connection conversion between the inner and outer parts of the rear multi-link independent suspension; the outer mounting point of the rear steering knuckle 5 is connected to the rear wheel hub bearing and the rear brake caliper, and the rear wheel hub unit including the rear wheel hub bearing is connected to the wheel, converting the movement of the inner side of the rear multi-link independent suspension into the up and down bounce of the wheel.

[0050] Preferably, the first assembly portion of the steering knuckle 1 includes a first assembly plate 3 and a second assembly plate 4 arranged in a spaced relationship. The second assembly portion of the control arm 2 includes a clamping end 5 located near the steering knuckle 1. The first assembly plate 3 and the second assembly plate 4 form a connecting bracket structure for mounting the clamping end 5. The first assembly portion of the steering knuckle 1 is constructed of aluminum, while the second assembly portion of the control arm 2 is constructed of steel.

[0051] The screw 61 includes a first section 611 near the bolt head 62, and the first section 611 is the root of the screw 61. The present application optimizes the structure of the bolt 6 by providing a hobbing structure at its root, thereby making the radial dimension of the first section 611 larger, and the hobbing is embedded in the first assembly hole of the first assembly plate 3 and interference fits with the first assembly hole. As described above, an interference fit between the bolt 6 and the steering knuckle 1 is achieved. The interference fit between the bolt 6 and the steering knuckle 1 can effectively prevent the risk of misalignment that may occur during vehicle driving, thereby fundamentally preventing the design risks caused by the clearance fit between the traditional bolt and the steering knuckle 1, thereby avoiding the possible changes in the four-wheel parameters caused by the misalignment of the connection between the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1, and thus avoiding a series of problems such as deviation and tire wear that occur during vehicle use.

[0052] Furthermore, the structure of setting the hobbing on the bolt 6 is simple, which not only completely avoids the possibility of misalignment between the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1 from the structural design perspective, reduces the difficulty of the anti-misalignment design at the connection between the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1, and improves the connection reliability, but also reduces the investment cost of design and production, and improves the economic benefits.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, along the axial direction of the first section 611 , the extension length of the hobbing is the same as the length of the first section 611 . It should be noted that the axial direction of the first section 611 is the same as the axial direction of the screw 61 .

[0054] As described above, the number of hobbing teeth arranged along the axial direction of the bolt 6 can be reduced, the processing and forming process of the bolt 6 can be simplified, and production and processing can be facilitated.

[0055] In some parallel embodiments, the extension length of the hobbing teeth along the axial direction of the first section 611 is less than the length of the first section 611 , that is, multiple hobbing teeth can be arranged in sequence without intervals along the axial direction of the first section 611 , or multiple hobbing teeth can be arranged in sequence with intervals.

[0056] In some embodiments, the height of the hobbing teeth along the radial direction of the first section 611 is 0.2 mm-0.6 mm; for example, the height of the hobbing teeth can be any one of 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, etc.

[0057] Limiting the hobbing height to the above range can ensure interference fit between the hobbing and the first assembly hole in the first assembly plate of the steering knuckle 1, while preventing the hobbing height from being too large to affect assembly of the two and increase assembly difficulty.

[0058] In certain embodiments of the present application, the first section 611 includes an excess area that exceeds the first assembly hole and is located at the third assembly hole, and the excess area is clearance-matched with the third assembly hole.

[0059] It should be noted that the first assembly plate 3 and the second assembly plate 4 of the steering knuckle 1 are made of aluminum structures, which have a certain degree of ductility and deformability, and are convenient for interference fit with the hobbing of the first section 611; and the clamping end 5 of the control arm 2 is a steel structure, which is a relatively hard material, so it needs to be clearance-fitted with the excess area of ​​the first section 611, so as to facilitate the installation and assembly of the entire bolt 6.

[0060] The first section 611 is lengthened and has a certain length of excess area to ensure that the first section 611 has sufficient interference fit with the first assembly hole of the steering knuckle 1. The hobbing has an interference fit with it along the entire axial direction of the first assembly hole, thereby ensuring the assembly strength and reliability of the two.

[0061] In certain embodiments of the present application, along the axial direction of the first segment 611 , the length of the excess area is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0062] As described above, it is possible to ensure that the hobbing has a sufficiently long extension length, thereby fully ensuring that the hobbing has an interference fit with the first assembly hole of the steering knuckle 1 along the entire axial direction, ensuring the assembly strength and reliability of the two, while preventing the extension length of the hobbing from being too long, causing waste of processing and material costs.

[0063] In some embodiments, along the circumference of the first section 611 , the fitting clearance between the excess area and the third assembly hole is 0.1 mm-0.2 mm; for example, the fitting clearance can be any one of 0.1 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, etc.

[0064] As described above, the small gap assembly relationship between the first section 611 and the third assembly hole in the clamping end 5 of the control arm 2 is satisfied, which facilitates the installation and assembly of the entire bolt 6. The small gap assembly can prevent the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1 from moving apart under large external forces, thereby reducing the amount of misalignment between the two and ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0065] In certain embodiments of the present application, the screw 61 includes a third section 613 threadedly connected to the nut 7, and a second section 612 is connected between the third section 613 and the first section 611. The outer diameter of the second section 612 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the bottom circle of the gear hobbing and smaller than the outer diameter of the top circle of the gear hobbing.

[0066] It should be noted that screw 61 comprises a screw body, which is provided with hobbing to form a first section 611, and an externally threaded screw body to form a third section 613. The screw body between the first and third sections 611 and 613 is not further processed to form a second section 612. The second section 612 serves to transmit force. The screw body is typically formed by cold heading. The thread strength grade of the third section 613 is generally required to be 10.9 (the thread strength grade is determined by the force applied to the connection and locking parts) to ensure its locking strength.

[0067] As described above, on the basis of satisfying the interference fit between the first section 611 and the steering knuckle 1 and the threaded connection between the third section 613 and the nut 7, the processing technology of the screw 61 is simplified to the maximum extent, saving processing time and cost.

[0068] In certain embodiments of the present application, the end of the screw 61 away from the bolt head 62 is the fourth section 614, and the outer surface of the fourth section 614 is inclined toward the center line of the fourth section 614 from close to the bolt head 62 to away from the bolt head 62.

[0069] As described above, the outer diameter of the fourth section 614 gradually decreases from close to the bolt head 62 to away from the bolt head 62, forming a frustum-shaped structure; the frustum-shaped fourth section 614 is provided at the tail of the screw rod 61 to facilitate the installation and assembly of the screw rod 61 in the first assembly hole, the second assembly hole, and the third assembly hole, to facilitate the screw rod 61 to accurately locate each assembly hole, to facilitate the guided installation and assembly of the bolt 6, and to prevent problems such as damage to the thread of the bolt 6 and assembly difficulty caused by improper assembly during the assembly process.

[0070] In certain embodiments of the present application, the inclination angle of the outer surface of the fourth section 614 of the screw 61 is 30°-60°; for example, the inclination angle of the fourth section 614 can be any one of 30°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 60°, etc.

[0071] As described above, the frustum shape of the fourth section 614 is controlled within a reasonable range, and the structural strength of the fourth section 614 is not reduced while ensuring the guiding effect.

[0072] Along the axial direction of the screw 61 , the length of the fourth section 614 is 2 mm to 5 mm; for example, the length of the fourth section 614 can be any one of 2 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, etc.

[0073] As described above, the guiding effect of the fourth section 614 can be ensured without making the length of the fourth section 614 too long, thereby preventing waste of processing and materials.

[0074] In certain embodiments of the present application, the bolt head 62 is a circular flange, and the surface of the circular flange close to the screw 61 is an inclined surface, which is inclined toward the side where the screw 61 is located from the center of the circular flange to the outer edge of the circular flange.

[0075] By providing an inclined surface on the circular flange, ① the circular flange can better maintain its position when subjected to external force, reducing loosening caused by vibration or impact, and significantly improving the stability of the entire control arm connection structure; ② the setting of the inclined surface can provide additional friction in a vibration environment to prevent the bolt 6 from loosening and enhance the vibration resistance; ③ by reducing stress concentration and improving the reliability of the connection, the setting of the inclined surface helps to extend the connection service life of the bolt 6; ④ the design of the inclined surface simplifies the installation process of the bolt 6, making the bolt 6 easier to align and evenly stressed, which is convenient for installation and maintenance; ⑤ it is convenient to inspect and replace when necessary, reducing the complexity and cost of maintenance; ⑥ the safety of the connection can be improved to prevent serious accidents caused by connection failure; ⑦ the existence of the inclined surface can change the mechanical properties of the circular flange connection to make it more in line with engineering needs. For example, by adjusting the size of the inclination angle, the change in tensile and compressive stiffness can be controlled to meet specific design and performance requirements.

[0076] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the inclined surface is 0.25°-1.25°; for example, the inclination angle of the inclined surface is any one of 0.25°, 0.5°, 0.75°, 1°, 1.25°, etc.

[0077] As described above, a small positive inclination angle setting of the inclined surface of the circular flange is achieved, so that various properties of the circular flange are adjusted within a relatively appropriate range.

[0078] In certain embodiments of the present application, a gasket 8 is provided between the bolt head 62 and the first assembly plate 3 .

[0079] The gasket 8 is a circular gasket; the gasket 8 is passed through the second section 612 of the screw 61 and cooperates with the mounting surface of the second mounting plate 4 of the steering knuckle 1 away from the first mounting plate 3. When the nut 7 is tightened, the nut 7 cooperates with the gasket 8; when the nut 7 is tightened, the axial force is transmitted to the steering knuckle 1 through the gasket 8, preventing the aluminum steering knuckle 1 from being crushed by the hexagonal flange surface of the nut 7 during assembly, thereby causing problems such as torque attenuation and component damage.

[0080] In certain embodiments of the present application, a bushing 9 is sleeved in the third assembly hole. The bushing 9 includes a metal outer tube and a metal inner tube that are sleeved together, and a rubber body arranged between the metal outer tube and the metal inner tube.

[0081] It should be noted that the clamping end of the control arm 2 includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate that are positioned relative to each other. The first mounting plate is provided with a first mounting hole, and the second mounting plate is provided with a second mounting hole. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are relatively positioned to form a third assembly hole. The bushing 9 is sequentially inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The metal inner tube and the metal outer tube are fixed, and rubber is vulcanized between the metal outer tube and the metal inner tube, thereby obtaining a rubber body located between the metal inner tube and the metal outer tube, and forming a metal inner tube, a rubber body, and a metal outer tube that are mutually sleeved and fixed. The metal outer tube is pressed into the third assembly hole by an interference fit, thereby forming a control arm assembly composed of the control arm 2 and the bushing 9. Furthermore, the first end of the control arm 2 away from the clamping end 5 is a suspension mounting end, and a suspension assembly hole is provided on the suspension mounting end, and another bushing 9 is assembled in the suspension assembly hole.

[0082] It should be further explained that when the bushing 9 is provided in the third assembly hole, along the circumference of the first section 611 , the fitting clearance between the excess area of ​​the first section 611 and the metal inner tube of the bushing 9 is 0.1 mm-0.2 mm.

[0083] The bushing 9 of the above structure has a certain shock-proof and buffering effect, thereby improving the stability of the assembly between the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1 and extending the service life of the control arm 2 .

[0084] Furthermore, the end surface of the bushing 9 near the steering knuckle 1 is provided with an anti-slip tooth structure. The anti-slip tooth is a raised structure formed on the end surface of the bushing 9 near the steering knuckle 1, and the specific shape of the anti-slip tooth is not limited. The anti-slip tooth is formed on the metal inner tube and / or metal outer tube of the bushing 9; preferably, the anti-slip tooth is formed on the metal inner tube of the bushing 9. After the fixing is locked with bolts 6, the anti-slip tooth on the bushing 9 prevents the control arm 2 and the steering knuckle 1 from moving out of alignment.

[0085] In summary, the present application further provides a vehicle, which includes the control arm connection structure as described above.
