[0041] To fully understand this application, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this application. Preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this application may have other implementation methods.

[0042] During the research and development process, the applicant discovered that existing suspension bushings also include a bracket connecting the powertrain. This bracket serves two purposes: connecting the suspension bushing and the powertrain, and also axially restricting the position of the main spring. Therefore, it is structurally complex, heavy, and has a low modal frequency, which couples with the gear meshing frequency of the reducer, generating a whistling sound and affecting the user experience. Therefore, the applicant aims to eliminate this bracket through research and development and integrate its function into other components.

[0043] Therefore, based on further research and development by the applicant, the following technical solution was proposed.

[0044] This application provides a suspension bushing 20 applied to a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle includes a subframe 10, a power unit (not shown in the figures), and the suspension bushing 20, which is mounted between the power unit and the subframe 10. (See reference...) Figures 1-3 The suspension bushing 20 includes:

[0045] The first elastic element 21 has a first through hole 211;

[0046] An outer sheath 22 is fitted around the outer periphery of the first elastic member 21, and the inner wall of the outer sheath 22 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the first elastic member 21.

[0047] The inner frame 23 includes an inner core 231 that passes through the first through hole 211 and a limiting part 232 that restricts the first elastic member 21; the limiting part 232 is connected to the inner core 231 and protrudes outward in the circumferential direction of the inner core 231 to block the first elastic member 21 in the axial direction of the first through hole 211.

[0048] Understandably, the power unit refers to the powertrain. This embodiment is mainly used for electric motor vehicles, and the power unit can be an electric motor. It is also understood that in other types of motor vehicles, the power unit can be an engine, such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine.

[0049] Understandably, the first elastic element 21 can be the main spring of the suspension bushing 20. That is, it mainly isolates the vibration and noise transmitted from the power components to the subframe 10 through radial deformation. The axial direction of the first through hole 211 is marked as D1 in the figure, and the radial direction of the first through hole 211 is marked as D2 in the figure.

[0050] Specifically, the first elastic element 21 can be made of rubber material. In this way, the first elastic element 21 has good elasticity.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first elastic element 21 can be a circular tube 212 with radially protruding spokes 213 added to it. This provides a large deformation space in the radial direction, resulting in a large buffering capacity. More specifically, the spokes 213 can be cross-shaped, consisting of four spokes 213 that intersect perpendicularly in the radial direction. This results in a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0052] The outer sheath 22 is mainly used to fix the first elastic element 21 and protect the first elastic element 21. Furthermore, when installing the subframe 10, the outer peripheral surface of the outer sheath 22 is the mating surface for installation.

[0053] Specifically, the inner wall of the outer sheath 22 abuts against the end wall of the spoke 213.

[0054] Specifically, the outer sheath 22 can be made of nylon material. Compared to metal materials, the outer sheath 22 also has a certain degree of elasticity.

[0055] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer sheath 22 is provided with a first protrusion 222 and filled between adjacent spokes 213. This increases the overall strength of the outer sheath 22, and when the first elastic member 21 deforms, the outer wall of the circular tube 212 can also be restricted during deformation, thus increasing the buffering capacity.

[0056] Furthermore, the outer sheath 22 may have multiple blind holes 221 on the outer wall corresponding to the first protrusion 222 to increase the deformation capacity of the outer periphery of the outer sheath 22, which is beneficial for the installation of the suspension bushing 20 onto the subframe 10.

[0057] The inner frame 23 mainly serves to support the suspension bushing 20 and connect the power unit and the subframe 10.

[0058] Specifically, the inner frame 23 can be made of cast aluminum. This provides sufficient strength for a more stable connection between the power unit and the subframe 10.

[0059] The limiting portion 232 extends radially outward along the first through hole 211 to cover the portion of the end face of the first elastic member 21 near the power component. Thus, when the first elastic member 21 moves axially, a portion of its end face will abut against the limiting portion 232 and be restricted. Therefore, the limiting portion 232 serves to restrict the axial position of the first elastic member 21.

[0060] Understandably, covering only the portion of the first elastic member 21 near the end face of the power component can both block the first elastic member 21 and reduce the weight of the inner frame 23.

[0061] Specifically, the inner frame 23 may have a third through hole through which bolts can pass to fix the positions of the power unit and the subframe 10 relative to each other.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the suspension bushing 20 has a limiting part 232 added to the inner frame 23 to limit the axial position of the first elastic member 21. The limiting part 232 can replace the limitation of the suspension bracket on the axial position of the first elastic member 21, so that the suspension bushing 20 does not need to be equipped with a suspension bracket, thus reducing the number of parts.

[0063] In some other embodiments of this application, the suspension bushing 20 further includes a second elastic member 24, which is sleeved on the outer sheath 22 and protrudes axially from the end face of the outer sheath 22 near the power component in the first through hole 211; the projection of the second elastic member 24 in the axial direction of the first through hole 211 at least partially falls into the projection of the limiting portion 232 in the axial direction of the first through hole 211.

[0064] That is, the projection of the second elastic member 24 on the axial direction of the first through hole 211 coincides with the projection of the limiting part 232 on the axial direction of the first through hole 211. In this way, the axial movement generated by the inner frame 23 under the vibration of the power component can drive the limiting part 232 to axially impact the end face of the first elastic member 21, and the second elastic member 24 is disposed here. Therefore, the impact force can be reduced by elasticity, that is, NVH can be reduced.

[0065] Understandably, in Figure 2 In the middle, the power component is on the left side, and the end face of the outer sheath 22 near the power component is... Figure 2 The middle part is the left end face of the outer sheath 22.

[0066] In some other embodiments of this application, the second elastic member 24 is provided with a plurality of elastic protrusions 241 protruding axially along the first through hole 211 on its outer end face.

[0067] This creates a two-stage buffer, further increasing the buffering performance and making it more effective in reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). The first stage is the elastic protrusion 241, and the second stage is the end face of the second elastic element 24 excluding the elastic protrusion 241.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 2 The elastic protrusion 241 is closer to the power component. The vibration of the power component first acts on the elastic protrusion 241 and then compresses the elastic protrusion 241. That is, the elastic protrusion 241 buffers the vibration transmitted by the power component, which is the first-level buffer. At the same time, the vibration is further transmitted to the end face of the second elastic member 24 other than the elastic protrusion 241. The end face of the second elastic member 24 other than the elastic protrusion 241 also buffers the vibration transmitted by the power component through elastic compression, which is the second buffer. Therefore, two-level buffers are formed in time.

[0069] In some other embodiments of this application, the radial projection shape of the elastic protrusion 241 in the first through hole 211 is trapezoidal.

[0070] The trapezoidal elastic protrusion 241 makes the structure more stable and provides better cushioning performance.

[0071] In some other embodiments of this application, the stiffness coefficient of the second elastic element 24 is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the first elastic element 21.

[0072] The applicant of this application discovered during the research and development that in the prior art, the end-face limiting structure spring and the main spring are an integral vulcanized structure with the same stiffness. A low-stiffness main spring is beneficial for improving NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), that is, the lower the stiffness of the main spring, the better. However, a low-stiffness end-face limiting structure spring is more prone to fatigue wear, leading to a decrease in durability. Therefore, the prior art has a technical problem that NVH performance and durability performance cannot be simultaneously achieved.

[0073] Therefore, the applicant of this application creatively proposed a split design, dividing the main spring and the end-face limiting structure spring into two components, namely the first elastic element 21 and the second elastic element 24 in this embodiment. The first elastic element 21 mainly isolates the vibration and noise transmitted from the power component to the subframe 10 through radial deformation. The second elastic element 24 mainly isolates the vibration and noise transmitted from the power component to the subframe 10 through axial deformation. Based on the stiffness requirements of both, the stiffness of each is designed so that the stiffness coefficient of the second elastic element 24 is greater than that of the first elastic element 21. This solves the technical problem of the inability to simultaneously achieve NVH performance and durability.

[0074] In some other embodiments of this application, the stiffness coefficient of the second elastic member 24 is 400N / mm-600N / mm; and the stiffness coefficient of the first elastic member 21 is 240N / mm-360N / mm.

[0075] This design is based on the material properties and processing conditions of rubber, which solves the technical problem of simultaneously achieving good NVH performance and durability. It also prevents the manufacturing process from becoming overly complex and keeps manufacturing costs within an acceptable range.

[0076] In some other embodiments of this application, the suspension bushing 20 further includes a mounting bracket 25, which is sleeved on the outer sheath 22 and axially connected to the second elastic member 24 in the first through hole 211; the mounting bracket 25 has a screw hole seat with screw holes protruding on its periphery; the screw hole seat has screw holes 251 for connecting to the subframe 10 by screws.

[0077] Understandably, the suspension bushing 20 can be press-fitted onto the subframe 10, which has press-fit holes (i.e., the second mounting hole described below). This makes the installation more stable. The mounting bracket 25 is further secured with screws on top of the press-fit, making the position of the suspension bushing 20 even more stable.

[0078] In some other embodiments of this application, the limiting part 232 includes an inner side and an outer edge, the inner side is connected to the inner core 231, and the outer edge covers the second elastic member 24 in the axial projection of the first through hole 211; the limiting part 232 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing second through holes 2321.

[0079] Specifically, the shape of the orthographic projection of the limiting part 232 on the axial direction of the first through hole 211 can be a circle, a semicircle, a fan shape, etc., which makes it easier to process. It can be understood that it can also be other shapes that can limit the axial position of the first elastic member, such as a rectangle, a triangle, etc.

[0080] More specifically, the limiting part 232 is fan-shaped, with its inner sharp corners rounded to form an arc. Connected to the inner core 231, it restricts the axial position of the first elastic element 21. The outer edge covers the second elastic element 24, allowing the limiting part to transmit power from the power component to the second elastic element, thus enabling the second elastic element 24 to act as a buffer. Compared to circles and semicircles, the fan shape reduces the weight of the inner frame, decreases the moment of inertia of the suspension bushing, and increases the modal frequency of the suspension bushing 20. Furthermore, the cross-section of the fan shape gradually increases from the inside out, resulting in better overall mechanical performance.

[0081] Similarly, the second through hole 2321 can reduce the weight of the inner skeleton 23 and increase the modal frequency of the suspension bushing 20.

[0082] This application also provides a subframe assembly, see reference. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The subframe assembly includes:

[0083] The subframe 10 includes a closed frame formed by at least one crossbeam 11 and at least one longitudinal beam 12;

[0084] The frame bushing 30 is installed on the crossbeam 11 and / or the longitudinal beam 12, and the crossbeam 11 and / or the longitudinal beam 12 are provided with a third through hole 233 and a first mounting hole for accommodating the frame bushing 30.

[0085] The suspension bushing 20 described above is press-fitted onto the crossbeam 11 and / or the longitudinal beam 12. The crossbeam 11 and / or the longitudinal beam 12 are provided with a second mounting hole for accommodating the suspension bushing 20. The fit between the suspension bushing 20 and the second mounting hole is an interference fit or a transition fit.

[0086] Specifically, there are two crossbeams 11 and two longitudinal beams 12, which form an irregular quadrilateral that is roughly rectangular, thus forming the frame of the subframe 10.

[0087] Specifically, there are four frame bushings 30, which are installed at the four corners of the quadrilateral, namely at the junction of the crossbeam 11 and the longitudinal beam 12.

[0088] Specifically, there are four suspension bushings 20, two of which are installed on the crossbeam 11 on one side, and the other two are installed on the longitudinal beams 12 on both sides connected to the crossbeam 11.

[0089] Specifically, the suspension bushings 20 are all disposed on the inner side of the crossbeam 11 or the longitudinal beam 12. That is, the axis of the first through hole 211 of the suspension bushing 20 is parallel to the virtual plane formed by the frame of the subframe 10.

[0090] In this embodiment of the subframe assembly, a limiting part 232 is added to the inner frame 23 to restrict the axial position of the first elastic member 21. The limiting part 232 can replace the suspension bracket in restricting the axial position of the first elastic member 21, so that the suspension bushing 20 does not need to be equipped with a suspension bracket, thus reducing the number of parts.

[0091] To better understand the subframe assembly of the embodiments of this application, the assembly process of the subframe assembly is briefly described below.

[0092] First, the outer sheath 22 is fitted onto the first elastic element 21, and then the inner core of the inner skeleton 23 is inserted into the first through hole 211 of the first elastic element until the limiting part abuts against the circular tube of the first elastic element 21; the first elastic element 21, the outer sheath 22 and the inner skeleton 23 assembled together are all fixed to each other by vulcanization process.

[0093] The second step is to vulcanize and fix the second elastic element 24 and the mounting bracket 25 together, and then fix them to the subframe with screws.

[0094] The third step is to press the assembled first elastic element 21, outer sheath 22 and inner skeleton 23 into the second mounting hole of the subframe to complete the process of installing the suspension bushing 20 into the subframe.

[0095] This application also provides a motor vehicle, including:

[0096] The subframe 10, the power unit, and the aforementioned suspension bushing 20 are mounted between the power unit and the subframe 10.

[0097] Alternatively, the subframe assembly and power unit described above, wherein the power unit is connected to the subframe 10 via the suspension bushing 20.

[0098] In this embodiment of the motor vehicle, a limiting part 232 is added to the inner frame 23 to limit the axial position of the first elastic member 21. The limiting part 232 can replace the suspension bracket in limiting the axial position of the first elastic member 21, so that the suspension bushing 20 does not need to be equipped with a suspension bracket, thus reducing the number of parts.

[0099] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to encompass all possible implementations contained in this application. Various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope of this application. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of this application that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this patent application.
