Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile, in particular to a front subframe of automobile. BACKGROUND

[0002] The subframe can be regarded as the framework of the front and rear axles and is a component of the front and rear axles. Before the subframe was invented, the suspension rocker arm mechanism of the front and rear axles of a traditional load-bearing vehicle body was a separate part rather than an assembly, and the suspension was directly connected to the vehicle body. After the subframe was invented, the front and rear suspensions can be assembled on the subframe first to form an axle assembly, which is then rigidly or flexibly connected to the vehicle body. The appearance of the subframe enables the suspension components to be integrated, assembled and disassembled, thereby realizing the modularization and platformization development of the vehicle chassis. The subframe can withstand the vibration load of the engine suspension and various impacts from the road surface, and can reduce the vibration and noise caused by the road surface and the engine to ensure the driving comfort and stability. In addition, the subframe can improve the connection stiffness of the vehicle suspension system, and the vehicle equipped with the subframe can feel that the chassis is more solid and compact. As can be seen, the seemingly inconspicuous subframe can play a not small role.

[0003] The design of the front subframe needs to consider not only the installation and arrangement requirements of the parts themselves, but also the performance of the structure. Several performances considered in the design of the front subframe include NVH performance, stiffness performance, durability performance and safety performance, etc. The existing front subframe is usually composed of multiple independent parts, such as left side sill, right side sill, front cross beam, rear cross beam, front control arm bracket, rear control arm bracket, stabilizer bar mounting bracket, body connection bracket, steering gear mounting bracket, front suspension bracket, rear suspension bracket, etc. Among them, the front subframe is connected to the vehicle body through the body connection bracket, and one body connection bracket is usually arranged at each end of the left side sill and the right side sill to connect the vehicle body, that is, the existing front subframe only provides four mounting points for connection with the vehicle body, which causes insufficient stiffness of the front subframe and easy collapse after collision. In addition, the existing front subframe also sets a horn bracket in the middle of the side sill to increase the connection points, which requires additional structure, high cost and difficult manufacturing.

[0004] The prior art provides a front subframe and a car (CN206374813U), which comprises a left longitudinal beam assembly, a right longitudinal beam assembly, a front cross beam and a rear cross beam, the left longitudinal beam assembly comprises a left longitudinal beam and a plurality of left mounting brackets integrally formed with the left longitudinal beam, the right longitudinal beam assembly comprises a right longitudinal beam and a plurality of right mounting brackets integrally formed with the right longitudinal beam, the left end of the front cross beam is connected with the front end of the left longitudinal beam, the right end of the front cross beam is connected with the front end of the right longitudinal beam, the left end of the rear cross beam is connected with the rear end of the left longitudinal beam, and the right end of the rear cross beam is connected with the rear end of the right longitudinal beam.
