It is supported on the wheels via the suspension device, the front axle, and the rear axle. It has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the load of the vehicle and the impact from the wheels. The quality of the frame design and structure should first be clearly understood by the various forces that the frame has to withstand when the vehicle is driving. In the prior art, in order to facilitate the production of the frame or achieve the universalization of the frame, the frame is usually divided into multiple sections, and the two adjacent frame sections are fixedly connected by fasteners. However, with the above structure, the structural strength of the connection between the frame sections is low, and the rigidity of the connection between the frame sections is much lower than the rigidity of the frame body, resulting in a low structural strength of the entire frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a lightweight frame structure of an electric vehicle includes a main frame 1, a steering support frame 10 is provided in the middle part above the front end of the main frame 1, and a front support beam 2 and a wire frame 9 are respectively provided between the lower part of the front end of the main frame 1, an arch frame 6 and a first rear support beam 3 are respectively provided between the lower part of the rear end of the main frame 1, and a second rear support beam 4 is provided between the upper part of the rear end of the main frame 1, and at the same time, a first reinforcing rib 7 and a second reinforcing rib 8 are respectively provided in the bend of the rear end of the main frame 1, a support plate 12 is provided between the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4, a seat frame 5 is provided above the rear end of the main frame 1, and a rear load-bearing frame 11 is provided at the rear end of the main frame 1, and a lower support leg 13 is provided below the main frame 1.
[0026] The front section of the main frame 1 is bent upward, and the middle part of the upper part of the bent front section of the main frame 1 is covered with the middle part of the lower part of the steering support frame 10. The front support beam 2 and the wire rack 9 are fixedly connected between the lower horizontal sections of the front part of the main frame 1, and there is a distance between the front support beam 2 and the wire rack 9. At the same time, the front support beam 2 is placed in front of the wire rack 9.
[0027] The front section of the main frame 1 is curved upward, so that the vertically upward section of the main frame 1 supports the front part of the frame, and a steering support frame 10 is provided above this vertically upward section, and the steering support frame 10 will be installed with a handle for rotating the electric vehicle. In this way, the vertical section of the front section of the main frame 1 plays a supporting role in the structure of the rotating handle. The front support beam 2 provided between the lower part of the front section of the main frame 1 is used to position and stabilize the lower part of the main frame 1, so that the two main beams of the main frame 1 are not easily deformed. At the same time, the wire rack 9 provided in the front section of the main frame 1 can not only route wires, but also strengthen the stability of the main frame 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the middle portion of the main frame 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seat frame 5 , and the upper portion of the rear end of the main frame 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper portion of the seat frame 5 , while the other side of the upper portion of the seat frame 5 is higher than the upper portion of the rear end of the main frame 1 .
[0029] The seat frame 5 provided above the main frame 1 is connected to the main frame 1 at the top and bottom, so that the load-bearing capacity of the seat frame 5 is increased, and the force borne by the seat frame 5 is transmitted to the main frame 1.
[0030] Furthermore, an arch frame 6 is fixedly connected between the middle parts of the main frame members 1, and the upper part of the arch frame 6 is higher than the upper part of the middle part of the main frame members 1, and the arch frame 6 is placed below the seat frame 5.
[0031] The arch frame 6 provided in the middle of the main frame member 1 has a special shape and cooperates with the wire frame 9 to stabilize the middle section of the main frame member 1.
[0032] Furthermore, the rear section of the main frame member 1 is bent upward, and the first rear support beam 3 is fixedly connected between the bent parts of the rear section of the main frame member 1, and there is a distance between the first rear support beam 3 and the arch frame 6.
[0033] Furthermore, the second rear support beam 4 is fixedly connected between the vertical upper part of the rear section of the main frame member 1, and the rear load-bearing frame 11 is fixedly connected to the outer vertical upper part of the rear section of the main frame member 1, and the inner side of the rear load-bearing frame 11 is placed above the second rear support beam 4.
[0034] Furthermore, a support plate 12 is fixedly connected between the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4 , and screw holes are provided in the support plate 12 .
[0035] The rear section of the main frame 1 is also bent upward, so that the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4 are respectively provided in the bent upward part. Since the rear load-bearing frame 11 is provided on the outer side of the bent upward part to increase the weight of the rear section of the main frame 1, the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4 are used together to stabilize the main frame 1. At the same time, the support plate 12 provided between the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4 will be connected to the vehicle body, thereby increasing the stability of the main frame 1 between the two.
[0036] The first reinforcing ribs 7 are fixedly connected to the bent portion at the lower rear section of the main frame member 1 , and the two first reinforcing ribs 7 are symmetrical.
[0037] Furthermore, the upper bending portion of the rear section of the main frame member 1 is fixedly connected to the second reinforcing ribs 8 , and the two second reinforcing ribs 8 are symmetrical. At the same time, the second reinforcing ribs 8 are located below the second rear support beam 4 and the rear load-bearing frame 11 .
[0038] A first reinforcing rib 7 and a second reinforcing rib 8 are provided at the rear bend of the main frame 1. Since the rear section of the main frame 1 bears a relatively large load, the first reinforcing rib 7 and the second reinforcing rib 8 prevent the rear bend of the main frame 1 from breaking.
[0039] The lower support legs 13 are fixedly connected to the lower middle portion of the main frame member 1 , and the two lower support legs 13 are symmetrical. At the same time, the lower support legs 13 are located between the wire rack 9 and the arch frame 6 .
[0040] Two lower support legs 13 are provided below the main frame 1 in order to embed the frame into the vehicle body, and the lower support legs 13 are used to support the main frame 1 and the structure above it.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] At both ends of the main frame member 1, two sections are made into a bent upward state corresponding to the shape of the vehicle body, so that the two ends and the middle part form a total load-bearing body, and a front support beam 2, a first rear support beam 3 and a second rear support beam 4 are respectively provided in the main frame member 1. The three are integrated with the main frame member 1. The front support beam 2, the first rear support beam 3 and the second rear support beam 4 are used to stabilize the front and rear of the main frame member 1 respectively, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the main frame member 1. At the same time, a wire rack 9 and an arch frame 6 are respectively provided between the inside of the main frame member 1 to further stabilize the bottom of the main frame member 1.
[0043] In addition, a steering support frame 10, a seat frame 5 and a rear load-bearing frame 11 are respectively provided above the main frame 1 and are integrated with the main frame 1, thereby increasing the continuity of the entire frame and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the entire frame.
[0044] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or replace them with similar methods without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
