DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description, and the implementation not shown or described in the drawings is in the form known to those skilled in the art. In the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] The existing technology proposes a subframe ring beam structure, which includes a first front cross beam, a second front cross beam, a first rear cross beam, a second rear cross beam, a right longitudinal beam, a left longitudinal beam, a first diagonal beam and a second diagonal beam combined into a trapezoidal frame structure. Suspension brackets are respectively welded between the first front longitudinal beam and the second front longitudinal beam. Suspension brackets are welded between the first rear longitudinal beam and the second rear longitudinal beam. Swing arm mounting brackets are welded on the right longitudinal beam and the left longitudinal beam.

[0032] The above structure improves the front suspension mounting point stiffness through the first front cross beam and the second front cross beam. The first rear cross beam and the second rear cross beam improve the rear suspension mounting point stiffness. The lateral stiffness of the swing arm front and rear mounting points is improved as a whole.

[0033] However, the structure distributes 4 cross beams, i.e., the first front cross beam, the second front cross beam, the first rear cross beam, and the second rear cross beam, in the transverse direction. The suspension mounting bracket and the suspension passive side bracket are designed in a split body. Although the stiffness and strength are improved, the manufacturing cost is increased and the weight is also increased.

[0034] The prior art has the following problems:

[0035] Problem one: The stiffness of the front suspension bracket is improved by combining the first front cross beam, the second front cross beam, the first inclined beam, and the second inclined beam into a trapezoidal frame structure to improve the stiffness. The number of parts is increased, the material is increased, and the overall weight is increased. This is not conducive to lightweight. The welding process is more complex, and the manufacturing cost is increased.

[0036] Problem two: The front suspension bracket is designed in a split body, i.e., the mounting bracket is designed on the subframe, and the mounting bracket of the suspension passive side is designed independently. The parts are doubled in number, and a connecting piece is added, which is not conducive to lightweight.

[0037] Problem three: The stiffness of the rear suspension bracket is improved by the first rear cross beam and the second rear cross beam to improve the stiffness of the rear suspension mounting point and the stiffness of the swing arm mounting point. The material is increased and the overall weight is increased.

[0038] The present embodiment proposes a subframe for a vehicle. The first front cross beam and the second front cross beam of the prior art are integrated and designed as one cross beam. The suspension mounting bracket and the suspension bracket are integrated and designed. The longitudinal beam is designed to be bent upward, the height of the suspension bracket is reduced to reduce the weight and improve the stiffness. The suspension bracket is extended to the left and right to the longitudinal beam to improve the lateral stiffness.

[0039] In addition, the inclined beam is adjusted from a round tube structure to a stamped U-shaped structure and is arranged outside the longitudinal beam and is connected to the front cross beam. The amount of material is reduced, and the lightweight result is better.

[0040] In the above structure, the first rear cross beam and the second rear cross beam are integrated and designed as one rear cross beam. The amount of material is reduced. The process is reduced to reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0041] In addition, the rear cross beam adopts a 0-shaped cross section, the cross section width is increased, and the longitudinal stiffness is improved.

[0042] In addition, a triangular reinforcement for the rear cross beam is added, and a single plate stamping process is adopted. The triangular reinforcement is formed between the swing arm front mounting point area and the rear beam to improve the stiffness and reduce the weight.

[0043] Furthermore, the rear swing arm mounting point adopts an upper and lower plate interlocking structure with internal reinforcements, connecting the longitudinal beam and the rear cross beam to form a triangular reinforcement structure. This improves the rigidity of the swing arm mounting point.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a rear crossbeam 1, a front crossbeam 2, a right longitudinal beam 3, and a left longitudinal beam 4, which are connected to form a "well" shaped structure. The rear crossbeam 1 and the front crossbeam 2 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel or nearly parallel order, while the right longitudinal beam 3 and the left longitudinal beam 4 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel or nearly parallel order.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first rear swing arm mounting part 5 is provided at the corner formed by the rear crossbeam 1 and the right longitudinal beam 3, and a second rear swing arm mounting part 6 is provided at the corner formed by the rear crossbeam 1 and the left longitudinal beam 4. The first rear swing arm mounting part 5 and the second rear swing arm mounting part 6 are the mounting points of the rear swing arm. Therefore, the first rear swing arm mounting part 5 and the second rear swing arm mounting part 6 have the same structure and are arranged in an axially symmetrical manner.

Taking the first rear swing arm mounting part 5 as an example, the first rear swing arm mounting part 5 is welded to the right longitudinal beam 3 and the rear cross beam 1, and the ends of the right longitudinal beam 3 and the rear cross beam 1 near the first rear swing arm mounting part 5 are connected to the interior of the first rear swing arm mounting part 5, which improves the strength of the rear swing arm mounting point. At the same time, since the first rear swing arm mounting part 5 is a boxed structure, the overall weight is also reduced.

[0056] In the embodiment, the rear suspension bracket 15 is arranged on the rear cross beam 1, and the rear suspension bracket 15 is a mounting point of the rear suspension.
