Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the engine protection technical field, concretely is a novel collision buffer support. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous breakthroughs in engine technology, its performance and power have been significantly improved, and the overall power performance of the vehicle has also been enhanced. However, this technological progress has also brought new challenges. When the vehicle encounters a collision accident, due to the improvement of engine performance and power, the impact force it receives also increases accordingly, making the engine more susceptible to damage.
[0003] Once the engine is impacted, without effective protective measures, the engine body is likely to collide directly with the vehicle frame. This direct collision not only causes serious damage to the engine body, such as deformation and fracture of the internal precision components, which affects the normal operation and service life of the engine, but also can cause serious impact on the vehicle frame, leading to deformation of the vehicle frame and endangering the overall structural safety and stability of the vehicle. In addition, the direct collision of the engine and the vehicle frame also increases the maintenance cost and poses a safety hazard, threatening the lives of passengers and drivers.
[0004] To address this challenge, current technology attempts to arrange various buffer structures on the engine to absorb and disperse the impact force. However, these traditional buffer structures often have complex structures, heavy weight, and other problems, making it difficult to meet the increasingly high safety performance requirements. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the problems in the background art, the utility model provides a novel collision buffer support.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a novel collision buffer support, comprising a support body, a synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole one, a synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole two, a weight reduction structure one, and a weight reduction structure two.
[0007] The support body is provided with a synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole one and a synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole two for fixing the support body on the front end synchronous chain cover shell of the engine. The support body is provided with a weight reduction structure one and a weight reduction structure two to reduce the weight of the support body under the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the support body.
[0008] The support body is made of cast aluminum material, and its outer contour exceeds the boundary of the engine body.
[0009] The synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole one and the synchronous chain cover shell mounting hole two are circular through holes adapted to mounting bolts for fixing the support body on the synchronous chain cover shell.
[0010] The first weight-reducing structure and the second weight-reducing structure are hollowed-out regions provided on the bracket body, which are used to reduce weight while ensuring strength.
[0011] The bracket body is fixed to the front-end synchronous chain cover of the engine through the synchronous chain cover mounting hole one and the synchronous chain cover mounting hole two, and the front end of the bracket body protrudes from the front end of the engine body, so as to be in contact with external collision objects first and buffer the impact when the engine is impacted.
[0012] The bracket body, the synchronous chain cover mounting hole one, the synchronous chain cover mounting hole two, the first weight-reducing structure and the second weight-reducing structure are integrally formed.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:
[0014] 1. Improve the collision protection performance: the collision buffer bracket is installed on the front-end synchronous chain cover of the engine and exceeds the boundary of the engine body through its unique design, so that the bracket can be in contact with external collision objects first when the engine is impacted, thereby buffering the impact and effectively avoiding the collision between the engine body and the vehicle frame, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the engine.
[0015] 2. Realize the lightweight design of the engine: the bracket body is made of cast aluminum material, which has high strength and low density, so that the weight of the bracket can be significantly reduced while ensuring the strength of the bracket, which helps to realize the lightweight design of the engine and improve the fuel economy and power performance of the vehicle.
[0016] 3. Reduce the manufacturing cost: the bracket is designed with weight-reducing structures, and these hollowed-out regions effectively reduce the amount of material used without affecting the strength of the bracket, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, and the cast aluminum material is easy to process, which is also conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing cost.
[0017] 4. Easy to disassemble, assemble and maintain: the bracket is fixed to the front end of the engine through the synchronous chain cover mounting hole, which is simple and reliable, easy to disassemble, assemble and maintain, and when the bracket needs to be replaced or maintained, it can be quickly disassembled from the engine, thereby reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance.
[0018] 5. Improve the overall safety: the application of the collision buffer bracket not only protects the engine from impact damage, but also improves the overall safety of the vehicle, and in the event of a collision accident, the bracket can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, thereby reducing the risk of injury to passengers and drivers.
[0019] In conclusion, the engine support has the advantages of improving the collision protection performance, realizing the lightweight of the engine, reducing the manufacturing cost, facilitating the disassembly, maintenance and improvement of the overall safety, and the like.
