[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0030] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A vehicle frame assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the present invention also provides a vehicle.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, the frame assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 11, a compressor 12 and at least two sheet metal brackets 20.

[0032] Compressor 12 is equipped with a connecting pipe 121, which can be connected to the exhaust port of compressor 12 to discharge the high-pressure, high-temperature gaseous refrigerant compressed by compressor 12, thereby maintaining normal operation of the air conditioning system. Connecting pipe 121 is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 11. When the vehicle is driving, it will vibrate. If connecting pipe 121 of air conditioning compressor 12 is not fixed, prolonged vibration may cause connecting pipe 121 to wear, loosen, or rupture, resulting in refrigerant leakage from connecting pipe 121, thereby affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning system.

[0033] Connecting pipe 121 can be a steel pipe. Securing connecting pipe 121 can disperse stress caused by vehicle vibration or engine operation, preventing excessive stress on any specific part of connecting pipe 121 and extending its service life. Furthermore, connecting pipe 121 is surrounded by components such as the engine mount 31, steering oil pipe 32, and transmission shift flexible shaft 33. Securing connecting pipe 121 to the vehicle frame 11 prevents interference between connecting pipe 121 and these nearby components, potentially causing pipe wear and other problems.

[0034] The sheet metal bracket 20 includes a mounting portion 21 and a support portion 22. The mounting portions 21 are disposed at both ends of the support portion 22 and are interconnected. The mounting portion 21 is provided with a fixing portion 23, which protrudes relative to the mounting portion 21 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 11 and the connecting pipe 121, respectively. In other words, the connecting pipe 121 is fixed to the vehicle frame 11 via the sheet metal bracket 20, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioning system, preventing wear on the connecting pipe 121, and improving vehicle safety.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two sheet metal brackets 20 for fixing the connecting pipe 121 on the frame 11. The two sheet metal brackets 20 are arranged on the frame 11 at intervals along the direction of the connecting pipe 121 and are fixed to the frame 11 through the fixing portion 23 on the mounting portion 21. The fixing portion 23 on the mounting portion 21 at the other end of the support portion 22 fixes the connecting pipe 121, wherein the fixing portion 23 can be a projection welding nut, refer to Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the fixing portion 23 can be a circular projection welding nut, a square projection welding nut or a hexagonal projection welding nut, etc. The nut is welded on the sheet metal bracket 20. When the sheet metal bracket 20 is assembled with the frame 11 and the connecting pipe 121, it can be directly fixed with bolts, which makes assembly more convenient.

[0036] The support portion 22 is a supporting structure in the sheet metal bracket 20. It increases the coverage of the sheet metal bracket 20 while ensuring the strength of the sheet metal bracket 20. It can ensure that there is a certain gap between the position of the connecting pipe 121 after it is fixed and the frame 11, avoiding interference between the connecting pipe 121 and the frame 11. It can also fix the connecting pipe 121 that is far away from the frame 11, and there is no need to design and manufacture the sheet metal bracket 20 separately, thereby improving the versatility of the sheet metal bracket 20 and reducing the production cost of the vehicle.

[0037] The sheet metal bracket 20 can be made of Q355 steel in one piece and can be 3mm thick. Q355 steel has high yield strength and good weldability, and is not prone to cracks or other defects. Since Q355 steel has high strength, thinner materials can be used to carry the same load. Controlling the thickness of the sheet metal bracket 20 to 3mm can reduce the amount of material used, thereby reducing the weight of the sheet metal bracket 20 and achieving lightweighting of the entire vehicle.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the support portion 22 includes a first support segment 221 and a second support segment 222. The first support segment 221 is connected to the first mounting portion 211 and is bent relative to the first mounting portion 211. The second support segment 222 is connected to the first support segment 221 and is bent relative to the first support segment 221. In other words, the first mounting portion 211, the first support segment 221, and the second support segment 222 are bent relative to each other. To secure the connecting tube 121, which is relatively far from the vehicle frame 11, and to ensure lightweight, the first support segment 221 and the second support segment 222 of the support portion 22 are both relatively narrow and long. The bending makes the cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal bracket 20 more complex, which can enhance the load-bearing capacity and bending resistance, and improve the overall strength and stability. Moreover, the bending structure can give the sheet metal bracket 20 a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to undergo slight deformation when subjected to stress, thereby preventing breakage or damage and extending the bracket's service life.

[0039] Furthermore, in the narrow space of the vehicle frame 11 , the bent first support segment 221 and the second support segment 222 can adapt to complex environments without interfering with other components in the vehicle frame assembly.

[0040] Therefore, by providing the fixing portion 23 on the sheet metal bracket 20, the convenience of assembling the connecting pipe 121 can be improved, and the sheet metal bracket 20 can be used in multiple positions, is lightweight, and the bent sheet metal bracket 20 will not interfere with other components.

[0041] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the support portion 22 also includes: a third support segment 223, the third support segment 223 is respectively connected to the second support segment 222 and the second mounting portion 212, and the second mounting portion 212 is bent relative to the third support segment 223, and the second mounting portion 212 forms a certain angle with the connecting tube 121 to facilitate assembly with the connecting tube 121.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the angle formed between the first support segment 221 and the first mounting portion 211 is α, and the angle formed between the second mounting portion 212 and the third support segment 223 is β, where α and β satisfy the relationship: α>β. In this embodiment, the angle formed between the first support segment 221 and the first mounting portion 211 can be 90°, and the angle formed between the second mounting portion 212 and the third support segment 223 needs to be less than 90°. This allows the fixing portion 23 on the second mounting portion 212 to be tilted relative to the connecting tube 121, increasing the contact area and facilitating assembly. If the angle formed between the second mounting portion 212 and the third support segment 223 is equal to or greater than 90°, the fixing portion 23 is perpendicular to or away from the connecting tube 121, resulting in a reduced contact area, making assembly more difficult and affecting production efficiency.

[0043] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the support portion 22 further includes a first connecting segment 224, a second connecting segment 225, and a third connecting segment 226. The first connecting segment 224 is connected between the first mounting portion 211 and the first support segment 221, the second connecting segment 225 is connected between the first support segment 221 and the second support segment 222, and the third connecting segment 226 is connected between the second support segment 222 and the third support segment 223. The first connecting segment 224, the second connecting segment 225, and the third connecting segment 226 are all arc-shaped. The arc-shaped structure can more evenly distribute stress. Stress concentration points are easily formed at right-angle or acute-angle connections, which may cause localized excessive stress and cracks or damage. The arc-shaped structure can reduce stress concentration, thereby increasing the overall rigidity and strength of the sheet metal bracket 20.

[0044] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the mounting portion 21 includes a first mounting portion 211 and a second mounting portion 212. The first mounting portion 211 is disposed at one end of the support portion 22 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 11, while the second mounting portion 212 is disposed at the other end of the support portion 22 and is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 121. The first mounting portion 211 is located below the sheet metal bracket 20, while the second mounting portion 212 is located above the sheet metal bracket 20. When the connecting tube 121 is secured to the sheet metal bracket 20, the position of the first mounting portion 211 on the vehicle frame 11 can be adjusted so that the second mounting portion 212 and the connecting tube 121 correspond to each other, thereby allowing the connecting tube 121 to be secured at different positions.

[0045] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the first mounting portion 211 is provided with at least two fixing portions 23, which are fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 11. Specifically, the first mounting portion 211 is provided with at least two projection weld nuts. Bolts pass through the two fixing portions 23 to secure the sheet metal bracket 20 to the vehicle frame 11. This enhances the secure connection between the sheet metal bracket 20 and the vehicle frame 11 and improves vehicle safety. In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 211 is provided with two fixing portions 23, but other embodiments may also include three or more fixing portions 23.

[0046] Furthermore, at least one fixing portion 23 is provided on the second mounting portion 212, and the at least one fixing portion 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 121. In this embodiment, one fixing portion 23 is provided on the second mounting portion 212, and in other embodiments, two or more fixing portions 23 may be provided.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a pipe clamp 122 is provided on the connecting pipe 121, and the pipe clamp 122 is fixedly connected to at least one fixing portion 23 on the second mounting portion 212. That is, the pipe clamp 122 is assembled on the connecting pipe 121, and the bolts are passed through the pipe clamp 122 and the fixing portion 23 to fix the connecting pipe 121 to the sheet metal bracket 20, making assembly more convenient.
