Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive front compartment technology, and in particular to a front compartment longitudinal beam structure. Background Technology

[0002] The front compartment, located at the front of the vehicle, provides installation space for the vehicle's powertrain, cooling system, and air conditioning system, and functions to absorb and transfer collision energy. The design of the entire beam structure of the front compartment should ensure the integrity of the passenger compartment during a crash. Among them, the front compartment longitudinal beams are important load-bearing components of the vehicle. During a collision, the front compartment longitudinal beams are the main energy-absorbing components, and they play a crucial role in improving the performance of the vehicle's frame.

[0003] Currently, common non-load-bearing body longitudinal beam structures include Figure 1 As shown, the front compartment longitudinal beam is only connected to the sill beam and the front floor longitudinal beam. The front compartment longitudinal beam transmits force to the sill beam, the floor longitudinal beam and the central tunnel sub-beam through 2 to 3 force transmission paths. The force transmission paths are concentrated in the lower part of the vehicle body. In frontal collision, side collision and MPDB collision tests, the bending efficiency of the front compartment longitudinal beam is poor and the intrusion of the front bulkhead assembly is too large, which is not conducive to the protection of the passenger compartment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a front compartment longitudinal beam structure to solve the problem that the force transmission path of the front compartment longitudinal beam is concentrated in the lower part of the vehicle body.

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

[0006] This utility model discloses a forward cabin longitudinal beam structure, comprising:

[0007] Two symmetrically arranged front cabin longitudinal beams, each front cabin longitudinal beam body including a front longitudinal beam outer plate, a front bulkhead front crossbeam, a front crossbeam diagonal brace upper plate, and a front sill connecting crossbeam;

[0008] The lower part of the front section of the front longitudinal beam is provided with the upper plate of the front crossbeam diagonal brace. The upper plate of the front crossbeam diagonal brace and the front sill connecting beam are connected to the front floor and the front sill body. The upper part of the upper plate of the front crossbeam diagonal brace is provided with the front front beam. The front front beam is connected to the outer plate of the front longitudinal beam and the inner plate under the A-pillar.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a front longitudinal beam inner plate, which is provided on the inner side of the front longitudinal beam body and is connected to the front floor through the front longitudinal beam inner plate.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the forward cabin longitudinal beam structure provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] The front cabin longitudinal beam structure designed in this utility model adds a front crossbeam to the main body of the front cabin longitudinal beam. The front crossbeam connects the outer plate of the front longitudinal beam to the inner plate under the A-pillar, increasing the force transmission channel and transmitting the force to the A-pillar, the front floor longitudinal beam and the sill beam, dispersing and guiding it to the entire vehicle frame. This makes the force on the passenger compartment more even, avoids unnecessary bending and deformation of the front cabin longitudinal beam, reduces impact, reduces the amount of intrusion of the front bulkhead, and ensures that the passenger compartment does not deform.

[0019] See Figure 1 As shown;

[0020] A utility model discloses a front cabin longitudinal beam structure, comprising:

[0021] Two symmetrically arranged longitudinal beams in the forward compartment;

[0022] The main body of the front longitudinal beam includes the front longitudinal beam outer plate 2, the front bulkhead front crossbeam 3, the front crossbeam diagonal brace upper plate 4, the front sill connecting crossbeam 5, and the front longitudinal beam inner plate 7;

[0023] The lower part of the front section of the main body of the front longitudinal beam is connected to the front floor 8 and the front sill body 6 via the front crossbeam diagonal bracing beam upper plate 4 and the front sill connecting beam 5. The front crossbeam 3 is provided on the upper part of the front crossbeam diagonal bracing beam upper plate 4, and the front longitudinal beam outer plate 2 is connected to the A-pillar lower inner plate 1 via the front crossbeam 3.

[0024] The main body of the front longitudinal beam also includes a front longitudinal beam inner plate 7, which is provided on the inner side of the main body of the front longitudinal beam and is connected to the front floor 8 through the front longitudinal beam inner plate 7.

[0025] In the front longitudinal beam structure, the lower part of the front longitudinal beam is connected to the front floor 8 and the front sill body 6 via the upper plate 4 of the front crossbeam diagonal brace beam and the front sill connecting beam 5. A front front crossbeam 3 is added above the upper plate 4 of the front crossbeam diagonal brace beam to strengthen the front longitudinal beam structure. The front front crossbeam 3 connects the outer plate 2 of the front longitudinal beam to the inner plate 1 under the A-pillar, increasing the force transmission path and optimizing the global distribution of force. This allows the external force to be effectively transmitted and dispersed to multiple key parts such as the A-pillar, the front floor longitudinal beam, and the sill beam during a collision or under stress, avoiding bending deformation of the front longitudinal beam caused by stress concentration and improving the overall stability and safety of the passenger compartment.

[0026] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
