[0016] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the lower control arm assembly of the automotive suspension according to this utility model;
[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the press-fit bushing of this utility model.
[0018] The markings in the diagram are: 1. Lower control arm body; 2. Mounting plate; 3. Press-fit ball pin; 4. Press-fit bushing; 5. Bolt; 6. Nut; 7. Anti-rotation bracket; 8. Protrusion; 9. Recess; 10. Opening. Detailed Implementation
[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lower control arm assembly of the automotive suspension includes a lower control arm body 1, a press-fit bushing 4 on the lower control arm body 1, a mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the lower control arm body 1, a bolt 5 connected to the mounting plate 2, a nut 6 threadedly connected to one end of the bolt 5, and an anti-spin bracket 7 on one side of the mounting plate 2. The lower control arm body 1 has a triangular structure, one end of which is connected to the steering knuckle via a press-fit ball joint 3, and the other two ends are connected to the vehicle frame via press-fit bushings 4. The top of the lower control arm body 1 is connected to the shock absorber via a welded mounting plate 2. There are two mounting plates 2, which provide a horizontal mounting position for the bolt 5. After the bolt 5 passes through the two mounting plates 2, the connection process of the shock absorber is facilitated. The nut 6 tightens the bolt 5 to fix its position. The anti-spin bracket 7 is used to limit the rotation of the nut 6 to avoid affecting the tightening posture of the nut 6 and ensure the connection reliability of the shock absorber.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the anti-rotation bracket 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 2. The anti-rotation bracket 7 has an opening 10, and the side of the nut 6 abuts against the opening 10. Adding the anti-rotation bracket 7 at the connection between the lower control arm and the shock absorber reduces the installation and operating space required for fastening tools or parts, improving installation convenience. The opening 10 acts as abutment and restriction on the nut 6, preventing it from rotating and ensuring a tight fit between the bolt 5 and the nut 6, thus ensuring reliable connection performance between the lower control arm and the shock absorber.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the end face of the press-fit bushing 4 is provided with a protrusion 8. By designing the protrusion 8 on the end face of the press-fit bushing 4 that contacts the frame, the roughness of the contact surface is improved, the friction noise when the press-fit bushing 4 is pressed against the metal surface of the frame and moves relative to it is reduced, and the ride comfort is improved.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower control arm body 1 has a recessed portion 9 in the middle, and the mounting plate 2 is located above the recessed portion 9. The inwardly recessed structure in the middle of the lower control arm body 1 increases the space for the shock absorber, improves installation convenience, and enhances the overall vehicle performance. At the same time, the bottom of the mounting plate 2 has an arc-shaped structure, which can form a reliable contact with the recessed portion 9, ensuring that the two are firmly welded together.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the opening 10 of the opening 10 is oriented vertically upwards. Designing the opening 10 of the opening 10 to be vertical will not obstruct the top-to-bottom installation process of the nut 6, and at the same time, it will not obstruct the view of the mating process of the bolt 5 and the nut 6, thus improving convenience.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the lower control arm body 1 is provided with a press-fit ball pin 3. The press-fit ball pin 3 is used to connect with the steering knuckle.
[0026] likeFigure 2 As shown, the protrusions 8 are evenly distributed circumferentially to form a sawtooth structure. The distribution of multiple protrusions 8 forms a sawtooth structure, and there is a certain distance between adjacent protrusions 8, which can further optimize friction noise.
[0027] The vehicle includes the aforementioned lower control arm assembly for automotive suspension. Automotive suspensions equipped with this lower control arm assembly can effectively improve friction noise issues, enhance ride comfort, increase user satisfaction and vehicle quality. Simultaneously, the lower control arm can better fulfill its connecting and supporting functions, ensuring good handling performance during vehicle operation, maintaining the suspension system's optimal condition, and helping to reduce power loss during transmission.
[0028] The lower control arm assembly of this automotive suspension features a mounting plate 2, an anti-spin bracket 7, and a recessed portion 9. This increases the space for shock absorber placement, ensures a secure connection of the shock absorbers, improves the ease of suspension system assembly, reduces labor and time costs, and helps improve overall vehicle performance. By designing a ring-shaped distribution of protrusions 8 on the mounting end face of the press-fit bushing 4, the problem of frictional noise easily occurring at the front and rear bushings when the lower control arm moves relative to the vehicle frame is solved, improving the user's driving experience.
[0029] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
