SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
[0025] As shown in the figure, the front cabin structure provided by the present utility model includes a front bumper beam 1, a front cross member 2, and a front longitudinal beam 3 for connecting the front bumper beam 1 and the front cross member 2. There are two front longitudinal beams 3, which are symmetrically arranged along the vehicle body length direction between the front bumper beam 1 and the front cross member 2. The front bumper beam 1, the front cross member 2, and the front longitudinal beam 3 are integrally die - cast to form an integral frame - type structure. Among them, by forming an integral frame - type structure with a closed - structure ring for the front bumper beam 1, the front cross member 2, and the front longitudinal beam 3, the traditional steel part solder joints are eliminated, thereby optimizing the body bending strength, improving the body torsional stiffness and NVH performance. The overall strength is greatly improved compared with the separate welding of parts, which not only ensures the dimensional stability during the forming process of parts, but also ensures the collision strength of the front cabin structure of the vehicle body. And the closed - loop force - transmission path enables it to have higher strength during frontal and side collisions, ensuring that the occupant compartment is not invaded and improving the safety of the whole vehicle body.
[0026] In this embodiment, the front longitudinal beam 3 is a U - shaped structure that opens outward in the vehicle body width direction. Inside the front longitudinal beam 3, there are several "rice" - shaped reinforcing rib 5 structures distributed along the vehicle body length direction; Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcing ribs inside the front longitudinal beam 3 area adopt the "rice" - shaped reinforcing rib 5 structure design. The wall thickness of the central rib is 10 mm, which is convenient for the ingate of die - casting to enter. The wall thickness of the remaining ribs is 3 - 5 mm, and the weight is reduced as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the front longitudinal beam 3. And the "rice" - shaped reinforcing rib 5 structure inside the front longitudinal beam 3 is distributed along the vehicle body length direction to finally form a honeycomb - shaped reinforcing rib structure. This structure is both an aluminum liquid filling channel and a force - transmission path during a collision, improving the structural strength of the vehicle body during frontal and side collisions.
[0027] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib intersection point in the "rice" shaped reinforcing rib 5 structure is arranged at the parting line position of the overall frame structure; by designing the reinforcing rib intersection point in the "rice" shaped reinforcing rib 5 structure at the product parting line position, the strength of the front longitudinal beam 3 itself is ensured, the normal flow and filling effect of the aluminum liquid in the mold during die casting are ensured, and then the high elongation of the front longitudinal beam 3 area product is ensured, and the overall frame structure strength is improved.
[0028] In this embodiment, the front anti-collision beam 1 is internally provided with a mesh reinforcing rib 6, and the mesh reinforcing rib 6 is used to ensure the strength of the front anti-collision beam 1; in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the front anti-collision beam 1 is internally provided with a mesh reinforcing rib structure to ensure the structural strength of the front anti-collision beam 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the front anti-collision beam 1 and the front longitudinal beam 3 are provided with a connecting reinforcing part 4 at the connecting position, and the connecting reinforcing part 4 is used to ensure the stress conduction during the collision; in combination with Figure 2 It is shown that the connecting reinforcing part 4 is a diagonal support structure arranged at the connecting position of the front anti-collision beam 1 and the front longitudinal beam 3, and a diagonal parallel reinforcing rib structure is arranged inside the cavity of the connecting reinforcing part 4, wherein the wall thickness of the diagonal parallel reinforcing rib is 5mm, so as to ensure the collapse energy absorption and stress conduction of the front anti-collision beam 1 during the collision.
[0030] In this embodiment, the size of the front anti-collision beam 1 in the vehicle body width direction is greater than 80% of the overall vehicle width; since the front anti-collision beam also needs to consider the requirement of small area offset collision during design, the size of the front anti-collision beam 1 in the vehicle body width direction is greater than 80% of the overall vehicle width, so as to realize the defense of small area offset collision.
[0031] In this embodiment, the front longitudinal beam 3 is pre-cast with a shock tower mounting point 8, and the front longitudinal beam 3 is also pre-cast with a wire harness pipeline mounting point 7; by pre-casting the shock tower mounting point 8 and the wire harness pipeline mounting point 7 on the front longitudinal beam 3, the mounting point requirements of the front engine compartment of the vehicle body during subsequent installation with other parts are ensured, the processing and manufacturing time can be greatly reduced, and the overall vehicle cost can be reduced.
[0032] In this embodiment, the front anti-collision beam 1, the front wall cross beam 2 and the front longitudinal beam 3 are integrally die cast by using aluminum alloy material; wherein the front anti-collision beam 1, the front wall cross beam 2 and the front longitudinal beam 3 all use die cast aluminum alloy material, which is lighter than the traditional steel material, can greatly improve the overall vehicle lightweight, improve the cruising range, and also greatly improve the corrosion resistance of the overall vehicle.
[0033] The embodiment also provides a vehicle comprising the vehicle body front compartment structure, and by applying the vehicle body front compartment structure on the vehicle, the overall vehicle light weight can be greatly improved, the endurance mileage is improved, the processing time is greatly shortened, the production efficiency is improved, the vehicle body front compartment structure originally comprising more than ten parts is reduced to a whole structure, the vehicle model project development cycle and cost are reduced, meanwhile, the structure is simple and universal, and the platform design demand is met.
