Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine front suspension bracket technology, specifically to a lightweight engine front suspension bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Engine mounts are automotive powertrain components used to reduce and control the transmission of engine vibration and to provide support. They are widely used in the current automotive industry and are divided into traditional pure rubber mounts and hydraulic mounts with better dynamic and static performance.

[0003] Existing engine front mounts are all solid structures, and in order to achieve a firm and stable fixation, the mounts are usually quite heavy, which in turn leads to a heavy overall mount mechanism. Furthermore, existing mounts require engine lowering during impact operations, necessitating the addition of a deformable connecting frame between the mount and the mount, making mount installation more complex. Therefore, a lightweight engine front mount is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightweight engine front suspension bracket to solve the problem of lightweight engine front suspension bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lightweight engine front suspension bracket includes a main frame, a sub-frame disposed on the side of the main frame, a mounting assembly disposed on the side of the main frame, and an energy-absorbing assembly disposed on the side of the sub-frame.

[0007] The mounting components include a mounting plate, a mounting groove on the side of the mounting plate, and a first mounting block on the side of the mounting groove.

[0008] The energy-absorbing component includes a mating plate, an energy-absorbing box on the side of the mating plate, and an energy-absorbing plate inside the energy-absorbing box.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the side of the main frame, a support plate fixedly mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate, mounting slots symmetrically opened on the side of the mounting plate, and a first mounting block threadedly mounted inside the mounting slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate is attached to the side of the main frame, the support plate is a triangular plate, and the first mounting block is a cylindrical threaded block made of high hardness material.

[0011] Furthermore, the energy-absorbing assembly includes a mating plate fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate, an energy-absorbing box fixedly installed on the side of the sub-frame, and an energy-absorbing plate fixedly installed inside the energy-absorbing box.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a lightweight engine front suspension bracket includes a main frame 1, which is a "T"-shaped frame. A sub-frame 2 is provided on the side of the main frame 1. The sub-frame 2 is a triangular frame with an "L"-shaped cross section. The main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2 are integrally injection molded from aluminum alloy, which has high strength and light weight. An installation component is provided on the side of the main frame 1, and an energy absorption component is provided on the side of the sub-frame 2.

[0025] Specifically, the mounting components allow for easy and direct installation, while the energy-absorbing components facilitate energy absorption from subsequent impacts on the engine, enabling precise descent.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting assembly includes a mounting plate 3 fixedly mounted on the side of the main frame 1. The mounting plate 3 is a rectangular plate. A support plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate 3 and the support plate 4 is attached to the side of the main frame 1. The support plate 4 is a triangular plate. A mounting groove 5 is symmetrically opened on the side of the mounting plate 3, which is a circular threaded groove. A first mounting block 6 is threadedly installed inside the mounting groove 5. The first mounting block 6 is a cylindrical threaded block made of high hardness material, which can break under high force.

[0027] Specifically, the mounting plate 3 allows the suspension to be placed directly on its upper side for support, the support plate 4 strengthens the support of the mounting plate 3, and the first mounting block 6 passes through the internal thread of the corresponding hole of the suspension in the mounting groove 5, which can quickly lock the installation by rotation.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the energy-absorbing assembly includes a mating plate 7 fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate 3 near the sub-frame 2. The mating plate 7 is a rectangular plate made of plastic. A guide groove 8 is symmetrically opened on the side of the support plate 4 and passes through the support plate 4 and the mating plate 7. The guide groove 8 is a rectangular groove. A second mounting block 9 is set inside the guide groove 8. The second mounting block 9 is composed of a high-toughness cylindrical threaded block and a nut. An energy-absorbing box 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the sub-frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the side of the mating plate 7. The energy-absorbing box 10 is a hollow rectangular box made of mild steel. An energy-absorbing plate 11 is fixedly installed inside the energy-absorbing box 10. The energy-absorbing plate 11 is a rectangular plate made of spring steel with a continuous "X" shaped cross section.

[0029] Specifically, the mating plate 7 provides further support for the suspension. During suspension installation, the second mounting block 9 is threaded and locked through its side holes, strengthening the installation and fixation of the suspension. When the engine is under stress, the first mounting block 6 breaks, while the second mounting block 9, due to its own toughness, remains unbroken and slides inside the guide groove 8. The suspension is pressed against the side of the energy-absorbing box 10, causing the energy-absorbing box 10 and the energy-absorbing plate 11 to deform and absorb energy. The suspension slides completely to the upper side of the mating plate 7, causing it to break. Subsequently, the suspension is restrained and falls to the side of the main frame 1, completing the engine lowering operation.

[0030] In summary: the designed mounting components facilitate easy suspension installation, allowing for direct locking without the need for multiple installations with additional brackets; the energy-absorbing components assist in the installation process; furthermore, when the engine is under stress, the mounting components unlock the suspension, while the energy-absorbing components restrain its sliding, enabling precise descent of the suspension and ensuring accurate engine lowering. This guarantees both personnel and engine safety, minimizing personal injury and losses.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
