Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive powertrain connection technology, specifically a powertrain suspension buffer pad, hereinafter referred to as the buffer pad. Background Technology
[0002] A typical powertrain mount includes components such as the mount bracket, shock absorber, mount housing, and damping assembly. The mount bracket connects to the powertrain, and the mount housing connects to the vehicle frame. During driving, the powertrain undergoes multi-degree-of-freedom motion. Under certain conditions of significant displacement, the mount bracket may impact the mount housing. Therefore, a shock absorber is needed between the mount bracket and the mount housing to isolate the impact. The shock absorber is usually made of rubber and plays a crucial role in overall vehicle vibration isolation and noise reduction.
[0003] Currently, the installation method for the buffer pads on automotive powertrain suspensions mainly relies on their own clips for installation. However, the clips are not secure enough and are prone to falling off, increasing the collision and wear between the suspension bracket and the suspension housing. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a powertrain suspension buffer pad. The buffer pad is integrally formed, with a hollow center on the front side. The hollow shape conforms to the outer contour of the suspension bracket arm. An extension surface extends outward along the hollow shape. A first limiting surface is provided at the upper end of the front side of the buffer pad, conforming to the outer contour of the upper connection point of the suspension housing. A second limiting surface is provided at the lower end of the front side of the buffer pad, conforming to the outer contour of the lower connection point of the suspension housing. A third limiting surface is provided on the back side of the buffer pad, conforming to the outer contour of the connection point of the suspension bracket. The extension surface protrudes outward, with its upper end connected to the lower end of the first limiting surface and its lower end connected to the upper end of the second limiting surface. A portion of the bottom end of the buffer pad protrudes downward.
[0005] The buffer pad has two straight sides.
[0006] The lower end of the first limiting surface contour bends outward to form an "L" shape.
[0007] The second limiting surface has an upper end that bends outward and a lower end that slopes inward.
[0008] The third limiting surface has a vertical upper end, an inward concave middle end, and an outward sloping lower end.
[0009] The outer contour of the buffer pad is chamfered.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a buffer and vibration isolation function when the powertrain displacement is too large and impacts the suspension housing. It is simple to assemble, securely installed, low in cost, and reliable in performance. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 6 A powertrain suspension buffer pad is integrally formed. The buffer pad 1 has a hollow center on its front side, the hollow shape of which fits the outer contour of the suspension bracket arm 3. The hollow shape on the front side of the buffer pad 1 has a top edge that curves outward, and the two side edges extend downward along the two ends of the top arc, gradually curving inward and connecting with the bottom edge, which is straight. An extension surface is provided outward along the hollow shape. The upper end of the front side of the buffer pad 1 has a first limiting surface 6, the shape of which fits the outer contour of the upper connection of the suspension housing 4. The lower end of the front side of the buffer pad 1 has a second limiting surface 7, the shape of which fits the outer contour of the lower connection of the suspension housing 4. The back side of the buffer pad 1 has a third limiting surface 8, the shape of which fits the outer contour of the connection of the suspension bracket 2. The extension surface protrudes outward, the upper end of which connects to the lower end of the first limiting surface 6, and the lower end of which connects to the upper end of the second limiting surface 7. A portion of the bottom end of the buffer pad 1 protrudes downward.
[0020] The connection between the buffer pad 1 and the suspension bracket 2 and suspension bracket arm 3 has an interference fit of 0.5mm, which increases the rigidity and stability of the connection, improves the shock resistance and deformation resistance of the assembly, reduces noise and vibration, and extends the service life of the product.
[0021] The left and right sides of the buffer pad 1 are straight, making the edges smoother and reducing friction and resistance during assembly.
[0022] The lower end of the first limiting surface 6 bends outward to form an "L" shape.
[0023] The second limiting surface 7 has an outline that bends outward at the top and tilts inward at the bottom.
[0024] The third limiting surface 8 has a vertical upper end, an inward concave middle end, and an outward sloping lower end.
[0025] The outer contour of the buffer pad 1 is chamfered to reduce collisions and damage to parts during assembly.
[0026] When the powertrain jumps upward, the first limiting surface 6 provides lateral buffering; when the powertrain jumps downward, the upper end of the second limiting surface 7 provides longitudinal buffering; when the powertrain moves laterally, the lower end of the second limiting surface 7 provides lateral buffering. In general, the buffer pad can provide buffering and vibration isolation for the displacement of the powertrain caused by different operating conditions.
