Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle suspension installation technology, specifically to a suspension mounting bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The engine is one of the most important components of a car. The engine and transmission together form the powertrain, which is connected to the vehicle body via suspension mounts. Currently, conventional suspension mounts typically have a flange or support structure on one side for positioning. Therefore, when installing onto the vehicle body, external force is needed to first support and fix the suspension mount to the body before tightening it to ensure proper positioning during installation. However, this not only reduces the installation efficiency between the suspension mount and the vehicle body, thus hindering overall vehicle assembly efficiency, but also adds extra steps, increasing assembly costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a suspension mounting bracket and a vehicle to improve the technical problem of low installation efficiency between the existing suspension mounting bracket and the vehicle body.

[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a suspension mounting bracket, comprising: a bracket body, wherein the bracket body is provided with a groove for a longitudinal beam to pass through; wherein the bottom wall of the groove abuts against the top of the longitudinal beam, one side wall of the groove abuts against one side wall of the longitudinal beam, the other side wall of the groove abuts against the other side wall of the longitudinal beam, and the groove and the longitudinal beam are detachably connected.

[0005] The advantages of this design are as follows: By creating a groove on the bracket body, with the bottom wall and two side walls of the groove abutting against the walls of the longitudinal beam in different directions, the bracket body is secured to the longitudinal beam via the groove when the mounting bracket needs to be installed. This provides a stable and reliable locking and positioning accuracy between the bracket body and the longitudinal beam, eliminating the need for external force to support and fix the mounting bracket to the vehicle body. Therefore, the installation efficiency between the mounting bracket and the vehicle body is improved, thereby enhancing the overall vehicle assembly efficiency. Furthermore, since the two sides of the groove abut against the two side walls of the longitudinal beam, the lateral displacement between the mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam is further limited, resulting in better connection stability after the mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam are connected.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket body includes: a support portion and two connecting portions, the two connecting portions being connected to the support portion to form a groove; one of the two connecting portions is fixedly connected to one side wall of the longitudinal beam, and the other is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the longitudinal beam; the support portion is used for connection with the suspension.

[0007] The advantages of this design are that it allows for independent functional design between the connecting and supporting parts in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the mounting dimensions change, only the shape and size of the upper supporting part need to be modified adaptively, without having to change the size and shape of the lower connecting part. This facilitates the deformation design of the mounting bracket and reduces the amount of design work generated during the deformation process.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part is riveted to the longitudinal beam.

[0009] The advantages of this design are as follows: Compared to screw connections, the riveted connection used in this embodiment eliminates the need for tapping on the longitudinal beam wall, thus reducing the impact of the beam wall thickness on the connection strength. Furthermore, riveted connections offer superior impact and vibration resistance, allowing the suspension bracket to withstand larger dynamic loads during use and better meet operational requirements. Moreover, the riveted connection achieves its fixation through the plastic deformation of the rivet, resulting in higher clamping force and connection strength between the connection and the longitudinal beam, reducing the probability of loosening during use.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, each connecting part includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are detachably connected, and the first connecting part is disposed on the side of the second connecting part facing the longitudinal beam and is connected to the side wall of the longitudinal beam.

[0011] The advantages of this design are: by setting up a first connecting part and a second connecting part, and making the first connecting part and the second connecting part detachably connected, it is possible to adapt to various sizes of longitudinal beams by simply adjusting the thickness of the first connecting part, while ensuring that the size of the second connecting part remains unchanged. This allows for convenient adjustment of the compatibility between the suspension mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting part is provided with a first connecting hole, and the second connecting part is provided with a second connecting hole, wherein a portion of the first connecting hole is adapted to the second connecting hole, and the other portion of the first connecting hole is exposed outside the second connecting part.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: by adapting part of the first connecting hole to the second connecting hole, and exposing the other part of the first connecting hole to the outside of the second connecting part, not only can a first riveting fixing point be formed between the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the side wall of the longitudinal beam, but a second riveting fixing point can also be formed between the edge area of ​​the first connecting part and the side wall of the longitudinal beam. Therefore, the connection strength between the first connecting part and the side wall of the longitudinal beam can be relatively improved, thereby improving the connection strength and connection stability between the connecting part of the entire suspension mounting bracket and the side wall of the longitudinal beam.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting part is made of carbon steel, and the first connecting parts on both sides are integral parts; the support part and the two second connecting parts are integral cast aluminum parts.

[0015] The advantages of this design are as follows: Using carbon steel not only facilitates the integral stamping of the first connecting parts on both sides, but also, due to the high strength and rigidity of carbon steel, it achieves excellent rigidity and strength performance with a relatively small thickness, better meeting the connection strength and rigidity requirements. The integral design of the first connecting parts on both sides creates a clamping force between them, which in turn clamps the longitudinal beam installed between the two connecting parts, increasing the tightness of the fit between the first connecting parts and the side walls of the longitudinal beam. This improves the local support strength and rigidity at the connection point between the longitudinal beam and the first connecting part, thereby enhancing the connection strength and stability between the suspension and the longitudinal beam. Furthermore, the integral design facilitates the positioning and connection between the first connecting part and the longitudinal beam, and between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, further improving the connection efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam. By making the support and the two second connecting parts into a single cast aluminum component, the assembly process between the support and the second connecting parts can be eliminated, improving production efficiency. Moreover, since the cast aluminum structural component itself is lightweight, the overall weight of the suspension mounting bracket can be effectively reduced, which is more conducive to the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support portion includes a cavity structure, and the cavity structure is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: by setting a cavity structure on the support and setting reinforcing ribs inside the cavity structure, not only can the weight of the support be further reduced, but the support strength and rigidity of the support can also be enhanced, thereby optimizing the overall support performance of the suspension mounting bracket.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support part includes a suspension mounting hole, and a wire threaded bushing is embedded in the suspension mounting hole.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: by embedding a wire threaded bushing inside the suspension mounting hole, the connection strength of the threads on the inner wall of the suspension mounting hole can be improved, and the stripping of the bolts during connection can be avoided due to the soft material of the support part itself. This can enhance the thread connection strength and connection reliability inside the suspension mounting hole.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a columnar support rib is provided inside the support portion. The extending direction of the columnar support rib is consistent with the through direction of the suspension mounting hole, and the suspension mounting hole extends downward into the interior of the columnar support rib at least in part.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By incorporating columnar support ribs within the support component and extending at least partially downwards into these ribs, the local thickness of the support component is increased to meet the installation strength requirements of the suspension mounting holes, thus facilitating a lightweight design for the support component. Simultaneously, the columnar support ribs also increase the local support strength and stiffness at the connection point between the support component and the suspension mounting location, further enhancing the connection strength and stability between the support component and the suspension.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, a protruding rib is provided on the side of the second connecting part away from the longitudinal beam.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this design are: by setting protruding ribs on the second connection part, not only can the support strength and rigidity of the second connection part be improved, but the overall weight of the second connection part can also be limited, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the suspension mounting bracket.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the protruding rib is connected to the support portion, and the other end extends toward the side away from the support portion.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this design are: it enables the connection between the protruding rib and the support, thereby enhancing not only the support strength and rigidity of the second connecting part itself, but also the connection strength and rigidity between the second connecting part and the support, thus further improving the overall support strength and rigidity of the suspension mounting bracket.

[0026] In a second aspect, this utility model provides a vehicle that includes the suspension mounting bracket in any of the above embodiments.

[0027] This utility model discloses a suspension mounting bracket with a groove on the bracket body for the longitudinal beam to pass through. The bottom wall and two side walls of the groove abut against the walls of the longitudinal beam in different directions. This design allows the bracket body to be secured to the longitudinal beam via the groove when the bracket needs to be installed. This provides a stable and reliable locking and positioning accuracy between the bracket body and the longitudinal beam, enabling direct fastening without external force to support and fix the bracket to the vehicle body. Therefore, it improves the installation efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket and the vehicle body, thereby enhancing the overall vehicle assembly efficiency. Furthermore, because the two sides of the groove abut against the two side walls of the longitudinal beam, the connection between the suspension mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam also achieves good stability.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a suspension mounting bracket 10 and a vehicle. The suspension mounting bracket 10 has a groove 12 through which the longitudinal beam 20 passes, and the bottom wall and two side walls of the groove 12 abut against the walls of the longitudinal beam 20 in different directions, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20 during installation, thereby improving the installation efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20, and also improving the support stability after the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20 are connected and fixed.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The suspension mounting bracket 10 of this utility model includes a bracket body 11. The bracket body 11 can be a sheet metal welded part or an integral casting part, as long as it meets the strength and rigidity requirements for use. The bracket body 11 is provided with a groove 12 for the longitudinal beam 20 to pass through. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 12 is not limited, as long as it can match the cross-sectional shape of the longitudinal beam 20. In actual design, it is based on allowing the longitudinal beam 20 to be inserted into the groove 12. Optionally, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the longitudinal beam 20 is rectangular, and correspondingly, the groove 12 is an approximately rectangular groove structure. The bottom wall of the groove 12 abuts against the top wall of the longitudinal beam 20. One side wall of the groove 12 abuts against one side wall of the longitudinal beam 20, and the other side wall of the groove 12 abuts against the other side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. The two side walls of the groove 12 can be symmetrically arranged or asymmetrically arranged, depending on the actual installation position requirements with respect to the longitudinal beam 20.

[0042] It should be noted that the longitudinal beam 20 in this embodiment can be either the longitudinal beam 20 of the vehicle body or the longitudinal beam 20 of the subframe. The specific type needs to be determined based on the vehicle body structure. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The groove 12 is detachably connected to the longitudinal beam 20. The detachable connection can be achieved through bolts, riveting, or other methods. The groove 12 can be detachably connected to the top of the longitudinal beam 20, the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20, or both simultaneously. The actual installation should ensure the connection strength and stability between the bracket body 11 and the longitudinal beam 20. Preferably, in this embodiment, the two side walls of the groove 12 are detachably connected to the two side walls of the longitudinal beam 20. This arrangement creates fixed connection points between the suspended mounting bracket 10 and the two side walls of the longitudinal beam 20, resulting in a more stable and reliable connection.

[0044] By providing a groove 12 on the bracket body 11, and ensuring that the bottom wall and two side walls of the groove 12 abut against the walls of the longitudinal beam 20 in different directions, when the suspension mounting bracket 10 needs to be installed on the longitudinal beam 20, the bracket body 11 will be secured to the longitudinal beam 20 via the groove 12. Since the bottom wall of the groove 12 abuts against the top of the longitudinal beam 20, and the two side walls of the groove 12 abut against the two side walls of the longitudinal beam 20, a relatively stable and reliable mounting and positioning accuracy can be achieved between the bracket body 11 and the longitudinal beam 20. This eliminates the need for external force to support and fix the suspension mounting bracket 10 to the vehicle body, allowing for direct fastening of the suspension mounting bracket 10. Therefore, the installation efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the vehicle body can be improved, thereby enhancing the overall vehicle assembly efficiency. Meanwhile, since the two sides of the groove 12 abut against the two side walls of the longitudinal beam 20 respectively, the lateral displacement between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20 can be further limited, thereby enabling the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20 to achieve better connection stability after connection.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the bracket body 11 includes a support portion 111 and two connecting portions 112. The support portion 111 is located at the top of the longitudinal beam 20 and is used for connection with the suspension. The two connecting portions 112 are located below the support portion 111, and the two connecting portions 112 are respectively disposed on both sides of the support portion 111 in the width direction (e.g., Figure 2 As shown on the X-axis). Along the height direction of the support body 11 (e.g. Figure 2 (As shown on the Z-axis), i.e., the height direction of the longitudinal beam 20, one end of the connecting part 112 is connected to the support part 111, and the other end of the connecting part 112 extends towards one side of the bottom of the longitudinal beam 20. The two connecting parts 112 and the support part 111 surround to form the aforementioned groove 12. One of the two connecting parts 112 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the longitudinal beam 20, and the other is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. The two connecting parts 112 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support part 111, or they can be asymmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on this. The shape and area of ​​the two connecting parts 112 located on both sides of the longitudinal beam 20 can be the same or different. In the actual design process, it needs to be determined in combination with the size of the installation space on the longitudinal beam 20. This arrangement allows for independent functional design between the connecting part 112 and the support part 111 in the height direction. Therefore, when the suspension mounting dimensions change, only the shape and size of the upper support 111 need to be modified adaptively, without having to change the size and shape of the lower connecting part 112. This is beneficial for the deformation design of the suspension mounting bracket 10 and reduces the amount of design work generated during the deformation design process.

[0046] Although there are various ways to fix the suspension bracket 10 to the longitudinal beam 20, it is preferable to refer to [the following text is missing from the original] Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part 112 is riveted to the longitudinal beam 20. The riveting connection method can be any riveting method that meets the connection strength requirements between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20, such as pull riveting, punch riveting, or self-punching riveting. Specifically, during installation, the rivet 30 located on one side of the longitudinal beam 20 simultaneously penetrates the connecting part 112 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 on the same side. After the riveting operation is completed, a riveting point is formed on one side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. Similarly, the rivet 30 located on the other side of the longitudinal beam 20 simultaneously penetrates the connecting part 112 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 on the same side. After the riveting operation is completed, a riveting point is formed on the other side wall of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0047] Compared to screw connections, this embodiment uses riveting. Since tapping is not required on the wall of the longitudinal beam 20, the connection strength is less affected by the wall thickness of the longitudinal beam 20. Simultaneously, riveting provides better impact resistance and vibration resistance, allowing the suspension bracket 10 to withstand larger dynamic loads during use and better meet operational requirements. Furthermore, riveting achieves a fixed connection through the plastic deformation of the rivet 30, thus creating a higher clamping force and connection strength between the connection part 112 and the longitudinal beam 20, reducing the probability of loosening during use.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, each connecting portion 112 includes a first connecting portion 1121 and a second connecting portion 1122. The first connecting portion 1121 is located inside the second connecting portion 1122, i.e., so that the second connecting portion 1122 faces the longitudinal beam 20, and is detachably connected to the corresponding second connecting portion 1122. The first connecting portions 1121 located on both sides of the support portion 111 abut against the side walls of the longitudinal beam 20 respectively. The first connecting portions 1121 on both sides are respectively sandwiched between the second connecting portion 1122 on the corresponding side and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. When riveting, the rivet needs to penetrate the second connecting portion 1122, the first connecting portion 1121 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 on the same side to form a riveting fixing point. It should be noted that the first connecting part 1121 and the second connecting part 1122 are detachably connected. The first connecting part 1121 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 first, and then the second connecting part 1122 can be fixedly connected to both the first connecting part 1121 and the longitudinal beam 20. Alternatively, the first connecting part 1121 can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part 1122 first, and then both the first connecting part 1121 and the second connecting part 1122 can be simultaneously fixedly connected to the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0049] By providing a first connecting part 1121 and a second connecting part 1122, and making the first connecting part 1121 and the second connecting part 1122 detachably connected, various sizes of longitudinal beams 20 can be adapted by adjusting the thickness of the first connecting part 1121 while ensuring that the size of the second connecting part 1122 remains unchanged. This allows for convenient adjustment of the compatibility between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting portions 1121 located on both sides of the longitudinal beam 20 are integral parts. The two first connecting portions 1121 can be integrally cast, integrally stamped, or integrally welded, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first connecting portions 1121 on both sides are integrally stamped. Specifically, an intermediate plate 1124 is provided between the two first connecting portions 1121. The two sides of the intermediate plate 1124 in the width direction are respectively connected to the corresponding first connecting portions 1121 on each side. The intermediate plate 1124 and the first connecting portions 1121 on both sides form a U-shaped bracket 1125. The inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket is adapted to the longitudinal beam 20, forming the groove 12 in the above embodiment. Correspondingly, the intermediate plate 1124 abuts against the top wall of the longitudinal beam 20, the first connecting portion 1121 on one side abuts against the side wall of one side of the longitudinal beam 20, and the first connecting portion 1121 on the other side abuts against the side wall of the other side of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0051] The two first connecting parts 1121 are designed as a single piece, which allows for mutual clamping force between them. This clamping force, in turn, provides a certain degree of clamping to the longitudinal beam 20 installed between the two first connecting parts 1121, increasing the tightness of the fit between the first connecting parts 1121 and the sidewall of the longitudinal beam 20. This improves the local support strength and rigidity at the connection point between the longitudinal beam 20 and the first connecting parts 1121, thereby enhancing the connection strength and stability between the suspension and the longitudinal beam 20. Furthermore, the single-piece design facilitates the positioning and connection between the first connecting parts 1121 and the longitudinal beam 20, and between the first connecting parts 1121 and the second connecting parts 1122, further improving the connection efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20.

[0052] Provided that the first connecting part 1121 meets the requirements for connection strength and rigidity, the material of the first connecting part 1121 is not limited. For example, the material of the first connecting part 1121 can be aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials that meet the usage requirements. However, preferably, please refer to... Figure 5In this embodiment, the first connecting part 1121 is made of carbon steel. Choosing carbon steel not only facilitates the integral stamping of the first connecting parts 1121 on both sides, but also, due to the high strength and rigidity of carbon steel, it can achieve better rigidity and strength performance with a smaller thickness, thus better meeting the connection strength and rigidity requirements. At the same time, the procurement cost of carbon steel is also lower, which helps to save on the manufacturing cost of the suspension mounting bracket 10.

[0053] To further improve the connection strength between the connecting part 112 and the longitudinal beam 20, and to ensure the connection stability between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20, preferably, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting portion 1121 is provided with a first connecting hole 17, and the second connecting portion 1122 is provided with a second connecting hole 18. A portion of the first connecting hole 17 and the second connecting hole 18 are adapted to allow a portion of the rivets 30 to pass through and be inserted into the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 at the corresponding position, thereby forming a first riveting fixing point between the first connecting portion 1121, the second connecting portion 1122, and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. Another portion of the first connecting hole 17 is exposed outside the second connecting portion 1122 to allow another portion of the rivets 30 to pass through and be inserted into the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 at the corresponding position, thereby forming a second riveting fixing point between the first connecting portion 1121 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 At least a portion of the outer edge of the first connecting portion 1121 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the second connecting portion 1122, forming an edge fixing region 1123 that abuts against the sidewall of the longitudinal beam 20. The first connecting holes 17 are at least partially distributed within the edge fixing region 1123. The edge fixing region 1123 may simply be the area formed by the second connecting portion 1122 protruding from both sides of the first connecting portion 1121 along the length of the longitudinal beam 20, or it may be the area formed by the first connecting portion 1121 protruding from the second connecting portion 1122 towards the bottom of the longitudinal beam 20 along the height of the longitudinal beam 20, or it may be the area formed by the first connecting portion 1121 protruding from the second connecting portion 1122 simultaneously along both the length and height of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0055] By adapting a portion of the first connecting hole 17 to the second connecting hole 18, and exposing another portion of the first connecting hole 17 to the outside of the second connecting portion 1122, a first riveting fixing point can be formed between the first connecting portion 1121, the second connecting portion 1122, and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. A second riveting fixing point can also be formed between the edge area of ​​the first connecting portion 1121 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20. Therefore, the connection strength between the first connecting portion 1121 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20 can be relatively improved, thereby improving the connection strength and connection stability between the connecting portion 112 of the entire suspension mounting bracket 10 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam 20.

[0056] To improve the assembly efficiency between the support portion 111 and the second connecting portion 1122, please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the support portion 111 and the two second connecting portions 1122 are integrally cast. By integrally casting the support portion 111 and the two second connecting portions 1122, not only can the assembly process between the support portion 111 and the second connecting portions 1122 be eliminated, improving production efficiency, but also, compared with sheet metal welding structures, integral casting can achieve better connection strength and rigidity, so as to better meet the operating conditions of the suspension mounting bracket 10.

[0057] The support portion 111 and the two second connecting portions 1122 can be integrally cast from various materials, such as cast iron, cast steel, cast aluminum, or any material that meets the strength and rigidity requirements. However, preferably, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 4 The support portion 111 and the two second connecting portions 1122 are made of cast aluminum. Because cast aluminum structural components are lightweight, the overall weight of the suspension mounting bracket 10 can be effectively reduced, which is more conducive to lightweight vehicle design. At the same time, cast aluminum structural components have better liquid flowability and a relatively low tendency to thermal cracking during the molding process, thus making them more suitable for molding complex structural components and reducing the limitations imposed by casting methods on the molded structure.

[0058] To further improve the support strength of the support portion 111, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support portion 111 includes a cavity structure 13, and reinforcing ribs 131 are provided inside the cavity structure 13. The cavity structure 13 can be a closed cavity structure or a semi-closed cavity structure, etc., and its shape is not limited, for example, it can be a cuboid, a cylinder, or an irregular irregular shape. The reinforcing ribs 131 can be arranged in various ways inside the cavity structure 13, such as in a star-shaped arrangement, a grid-shaped arrangement, or a crisscross arrangement. Optionally, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 3 to 6The support portion 111 includes a top plate 113, a bottom plate 114, and a partition plate 115 connecting the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 114. The top plate 113 is used to mount the suspension, and the bottom plate 114 is used to connect to the top support of the longitudinal beam 20. A cavity structure 13 is formed between the top plate 113, the bottom wall, and the partition plate 115. The cavity structure 13 opens on both sides facing the width direction of the support portion 111, thus forming a semi-closed cavity structure. This arrangement not only facilitates the molding of the cavity structure but also facilitates the setting of reinforcing ribs 131 inside the cavity structure 13, simplifying the molding process of the reinforcing ribs 131. By setting the cavity structure 13 on the support portion 111 and setting the reinforcing ribs 131 inside the cavity structure 13, the weight of the support portion 111 can be further reduced, and the support strength and rigidity of the support portion 111 can be enhanced, thereby optimizing the overall support performance of the suspension mounting bracket 10.

[0059] Considering that the support part 111, made of cast aluminum, is relatively soft, the connection strength and reliability when connected to the suspension via threads will be limited. Therefore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 6 The support portion 111 includes a suspension mounting hole 1111 for bolted connection with the suspension. A wire threaded bushing 15 is embedded in the suspension mounting hole 1111. By embedding the wire threaded bushing 15 in the suspension mounting hole 1111, the connection strength of the threads on the inner wall of the suspension mounting hole 1111 can be improved, avoiding stripping of the bolt threads due to the relatively soft material of the support portion 111 itself. This enhances the thread connection strength and reliability inside the suspension mounting hole 1111.

[0060] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6The support portion 111 has a columnar support rib 16 inside, the extension direction of which is consistent with the penetration direction of the suspension mounting hole 1111, and the suspension mounting hole 1111 extends downwards at least partially into the interior of the columnar support rib 16. The cross-section of the columnar support rib 16 is larger than the cross-section of the suspension mounting hole 1111. The suspension mounting hole 1111 can be coaxially or non-coaxially arranged with the columnar support rib 16, as long as the opening position of the suspension mounting hole 1111 on the columnar support rib 16 meets the connection strength requirements of the suspension mounting hole 1111. The number of columnar support ribs 16 is consistent with the number of suspension mounting holes 1111, and the setting position of the columnar support ribs 16 corresponds to the setting position of the suspension mounting holes 1111. The two ends of the columnar support rib 16 are connected to the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 114 of the support part 111, respectively. The columnar support rib 16 can be staggered from the partition plate 115, or it can be connected to the partition plate 115 to form an integral part. Optionally, in this embodiment, the columnar support rib 16 and the partition plate 115 are integrally connected, which facilitates the positioning and arrangement of the columnar support rib 16 and the partition plate 115 inside the cavity structure 13, and facilitates casting.

[0061] By providing columnar support ribs 16 inside the support portion 111, and extending the suspension mounting hole 1111 at least partially downwards into the columnar support ribs 16, the local thickness of the support portion 111 is increased to meet the installation strength requirements of the suspension mounting hole 1111, thus facilitating the lightweight design of the support portion 111. Simultaneously, the columnar support ribs 16 also increase the local support strength and rigidity between the support portion 111 and the suspension mounting position, further improving the connection strength and stability between the support portion 111 and the suspension.

[0062] Considering that the second connecting portions 1122 located on both sides of the support portion 111 need to withstand large lateral bending forces during use, the second connecting portions 1122 typically need to have high support strength and rigidity to meet the connection stability requirements between the suspension mounting bracket 10 and the longitudinal beam 20. Therefore, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment of this utility model, a protruding rib 14 is provided on the side of the second connecting portion 1122 opposite to the longitudinal beam 20, that is, the protruding rib 14 is provided on the outer surface of the second connecting portion 1122. The protruding rib 14 can be welded to the outer surface of the second connecting portion 1122, or it can be integrally cast and connected to the second connecting portion 1122. The protruding rib 14 can be of various shapes such as elongated, T-shaped, and U-shaped. One or more protruding ribs 14 can be provided, specifically to meet the support strength requirements of the second connecting portion 1122. Optionally, in this embodiment, multiple protruding ribs 14 are provided, and multiple protruding ribs 14 are integrally cast and connected to the outer surface of the second connecting portion 1122, and all multiple protruding ribs 14 are elongated structures. This arrangement not only facilitates the forming of the protruding ribs 14 on the outer surface of the second connecting portion 1122, but also enables the second connecting portion 1122 to obtain better support strength. By providing a protruding rib 14 on the second connecting part 1122, not only can the support strength and rigidity of the second connecting part 1122 be improved, but the increase in the overall weight of the second connecting part 1122 can also be limited, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the suspension mounting bracket 10.

[0063] To further improve the support strength of the second connecting portion 1122, preferably, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 4 One end of the protruding rib 14 is connected to the base plate 114 to achieve the connection between the protruding rib 14 and the support part 111, and the other end extends away from the base plate 114, that is, the protruding rib 14 extends along the height direction of the second connecting part 1122. In this way, the connection between the protruding rib 14 and the base plate 114 of the support part 111 can be achieved. Therefore, the setting of the protruding rib 14 can not only enhance the support strength and rigidity of the second connecting part 1122 itself, but also increase the connection strength and rigidity between the second connecting part 1122 and the support part 111, thereby further improving the overall support strength and rigidity of the suspension mounting bracket 10.

[0064] In a second aspect, this utility model provides a vehicle comprising a body, a suspension mount, and a suspension mounting bracket 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The suspension mounting bracket 10 is mounted on a longitudinal beam 20 of the body, and the suspension mount is connected to the suspension mounting bracket 10 to achieve connection with the longitudinal beam 20. The vehicle provided in this embodiment includes the aforementioned suspension mounting bracket 10 and naturally possesses the beneficial effects of the aforementioned suspension mounting bracket 10, which will not be elaborated further here. It should be noted that the longitudinal beam 20 of the body can be a longitudinal beam 20 of the subframe or a longitudinal beam 20 of the body, depending on the actual body structure of the vehicle. It should be noted that the suspension mounts on the vehicle are usually arranged symmetrically on the left and right, therefore, the corresponding suspension mounting brackets 10 are also arranged in two positions on the left and right, with each of the two suspension mounting brackets 10 connected to a longitudinal beam 20. The two suspension mounting brackets 10 can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, and in actual design and production, it is usually necessary to determine them based on the specific installation position of the suspension mounting bracket 10 on the longitudinal beam 20.

[0065] This utility model discloses a suspension mounting bracket with a groove on its body. The bottom wall and two side walls of the groove abut against the walls of the longitudinal beam in different directions. This design allows the bracket body to be secured to the longitudinal beam via the groove when it needs to be installed. This provides a stable and reliable positioning accuracy between the bracket body and the longitudinal beam, eliminating the need for external force to support and fix the bracket to the vehicle body. Therefore, it improves the installation efficiency between the suspension mounting bracket and the vehicle body, thereby enhancing the overall vehicle assembly efficiency. Furthermore, because the two sides of the groove abut against the two side walls of the longitudinal beam, the connection between the suspension mounting bracket and the longitudinal beam also exhibits good stability. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, thus possessing high utilization value and practical significance.

[0066] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
