[0020] In summary, the hydrogen fuel tractor enhanced rear suspension, by setting the fixing hole 131, the first transition bracket 2 and the second transition bracket 3 are fixedly connected with the longitudinal beam 1, the strength and rigidity of the longitudinal beam 1 support part 102 are increased, the two connecting parts 101 are fixedly connected through the cross beam 5, so that the upper, lower, left and right of the rear suspension are connected, which is no longer a cantilever beam structure, but a closed section, when the vehicle turns, the lateral force of the ground on the middle axle tire will be transmitted to the lower end of the two longitudinal beams 1 in turn through the middle axle wheel→middle axle→middle axle bracket→front two thrust rods 9. Similarly, the lateral force of the ground on the rear axle tire will also be transmitted to the lower end of the two longitudinal beams 1 in turn through the rear axle wheel→rear axle→rear axle bracket→rear two thrust rods 9. The rear suspension of the vehicle has a full load axle load of 18T. When the vehicle turns in the limit state and is affected by the lateral wind and the lateral slope, the superimposed force of the lateral force of the ground on the middle axle and the rear axle reaches the limit state of about 9T. At this time, the rear suspension structure is no longer a cantilever beam structure, but together with the transition bracket 1, the transition bracket 3 and the fixing part 4, effectively bears the lateral force transmitted from the ground, the deformation is reduced, the stress is further reduced and improved; the deformation amount under the limit condition is reduced from 14.6mm of the unenhanced to 11.3mm of the enhanced, and the deformation amount is 11.3 / 14.6=77% of the original, effectively increasing the vehicle driving stability. The maximum stress is close to the upper end of the bracket, which is 480.8Mpa, the yield strength of the longitudinal beam 1 is 750Mpa, and the safety factor is 750 / 480.8=1.56, which is better than 1.21 of the rear suspension in the prior art, and is obviously better than the industry requirement value 1.05. That is, the safety factor is 1.56 / 1.21=1.29 times of the unenhanced, and the stress is 480.8 / 622.1=77% of the rear suspension in the prior art. By setting the buffer washer, since the first core shaft 7 and the second core shaft 11 are rigid structures, the buffer washer can prevent the vibration generated during vehicle driving from being transmitted to the rear suspension, protect the rear suspension to a certain extent, and prolong the service life. In turn, the hydrogen fuel tractor enhanced rear suspension can reduce the suspension stress, improve the suspension life, increase the rigidity, reduce the deformation of the lower end of the suspension, and enhance the vehicle stability, thereby being worth popularizing.
