Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of suspension devices, and more specifically, to a suspension structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle uses suspension devices to connect different objects. For example, rubber suspensions connect the exhaust system to the vehicle frame. While bearing the weight of the exhaust system, the rubber suspensions also limit, buffer, and absorb the vibration of the exhaust system, thus improving the overall vehicle comfort.

[0003] However, existing suspension devices all have shortcomings: some suspensions are made of only rubber blocks, which are prone to breakage after aging; some rubber suspensions, after being surrounded by a completely vulcanized metal frame, will have a significantly increased overall stiffness due to the limiting effect of the metal frame, thus affecting the effect of the rubber suspension on buffering and absorbing vibrations of the exhaust system. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in existing suspension devices that consist only of rubber blocks, which pose a risk of breakage after aging, and the increased overall stiffness of the rubber suspension affecting its buffering and vibration absorption effects on the exhaust system, this utility model provides a suspension structure and vehicle.

[0005] In view of this, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a hanging structure, including a plurality of hanging block assemblies connected in sequence. Each hanging block assembly includes an elastic device and a frame device. The elastic device is used to fix the hook, and the frame device partially encloses the elastic device. Adjacent hanging block assemblies are connected by elastic connectors.

[0006] In some embodiments, the elastic connector is an elastic structure capable of absorbing vibration.

[0007] In some embodiments, the elastic connector is a corrugated elastic structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic connector is disposed between two adjacent skeleton devices.

[0009] In some embodiments, the skeleton device includes two sheet-like structures, which are respectively disposed on the outer sides of two opposite sides of the elastic device, and the elastic connector is connected between the two sheet-like structures located on the same side.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sheet structure has an open end, and the open end is provided with a flap, which is inclined toward the elastic device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the elastic device is a rubber block, and the skeleton device and the elastic device are vulcanized together.

[0012] In some embodiments, the elastic device is provided with at least one hook mounting hole and at least one weight-reducing hole, the hook mounting hole and the weight-reducing hole extending along the width direction of the elastic device.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are multiple weight-reducing holes, which are evenly arranged around the hook mounting hole.

[0014] The first embodiment of this utility model provides a vehicle including the suspension structure described in any of the above claims, the suspension structure being used to connect an exhaust system to a vehicle frame.

[0015] The structural principle of this utility model embodiment is simple and easy to implement. By adding a skeleton device, the problem of material breakage after aging is solved. The stiffness of the hanging structure is adjusted by the synergistic effect of the elastic device, the skeleton device and the elastic connector. This improves the service life of the hanging structure and also prevents the stiffness of the entire hanging structure from being too large, which would affect its buffering and vibration absorption functions.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0030] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present invention.

[0031] The first embodiment of this utility model provides a hanging structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a plurality of lifting block assemblies 10 connected in sequence. The plurality of lifting block assemblies 10 are arranged sequentially along a first direction. Adjacent two lifting block assemblies 10 are elastically connected. Each lifting block assembly 10 is used to fix a corresponding hook. The hook can pass through the lifting block assembly 10 along a second direction to achieve fixation. Here, the second direction and the first direction can be perpendicular to each other.

[0032] In this embodiment, the suspension structure includes two mutually elastically connected suspension block assemblies 10. For example, one suspension block assembly 10 is used to fix the hook on the vehicle frame side, and the adjacent other suspension block assembly 10 is used to fix the hook of the exhaust system. Thus, the suspension structure of this embodiment can fix the exhaust system to the vehicle frame. Based on the same idea, this embodiment of the present disclosure, through the above structure, can fix multiple hooks with different functions at the same position, thereby connecting the devices corresponding to the hooks to each other.

[0033] Specifically, the hanging block assembly 10 includes an elastic device 1, which is a cube or cuboid block structure, or other suitable shapes, such as a spherical structure. The elastic device 1 is, for example, made of rubber to form a rubber block.

[0034] Furthermore, a skeleton device 2 is provided on the outer side of the elastic device 1, and the skeleton device 2 partially encloses the elastic device 1. Here, the skeleton device 2 is made of metal. By enclosing the outer part of the elastic device 1, the risk of breakage due to aging, as seen in simple materials such as rubber blocks, can be avoided.

[0035] Furthermore, the skeleton device 2 includes two sheet-like structures 21, which are respectively disposed on the outer sides of two opposite sides of the elastic device 1. In this way, the two sheet-like structures 21 can clamp the elastic device 1 between them, thereby preventing the elastic device 1 from breaking after aging.

[0036] The skeleton device 2 and the elastic device 1 can be connected by fasteners. For example, fasteners can be passed through the skeleton device 2 and the elastic device 1 in sequence to connect the skeleton device 2 and the elastic device 1.

[0037] Furthermore, when the elastic device 1 is, for example, a rubber block, the skeleton device 2 and the elastic device 1 can be vulcanized together through a vulcanization process. This not only utilizes the elasticity of the rubber block to absorb vibration, but also enables a tight, integrated connection between the skeleton device 2 and the elastic device 1, ensuring the structural stability of the hanging block assembly 10.

[0038] Furthermore, hooks of different devices inside the vehicle pass through the elastic device 1 for fixation. In order to fix the hooks through the elastic device 1, at least one hook mounting hole 11 is provided on the elastic device 1. The hook mounting hole 11 extends along a second direction, which may be the width direction of the skeleton device 2. The extension direction of the hook mounting hole 11 of different lifting block assemblies 10 is the same, wherein the hook is inserted into the corresponding hook mounting hole 11 along the second direction.

[0039] In addition, at least one weight-reducing hole 12 is provided on the elastic device 1. The weight-reducing hole 12 also extends along the second direction. By providing the weight-reducing hole 12, the weight of the elastic device 1 can be reduced, thereby achieving a lightweight structure.

[0040] Preferably, the elastic device 1 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 12, which are evenly arranged around the hook mounting hole 11. In this embodiment, for example, the hook mounting hole 11 is located in the middle of the elastic device 1, and four weight-reducing holes 12 are arranged around the hook mounting hole 11. The four weight-reducing holes 12 are preferably respectively located at the corners of the elastic device 1, so that the mass of the elastic device 1 can be evenly distributed.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to interconnect the multiple lifting block assemblies 10 so that multiple hooks can be fixed by the hanging structure, adjacent two lifting block assemblies 10 are connected by an elastic connector 3. This elastic connector 3 is capable of expansion and contraction to adjust the relative positional relationship between adjacent two lifting block assemblies 10. The elastic connector 3 can be an elastic structure capable of absorbing vibration; preferably, it is a corrugated elastic structure.

[0042] Specifically, the elastic connector 3 is disposed between the skeleton devices 2 of two adjacent lifting block assemblies 10. For example, for the skeleton devices 2 of two adjacent lifting block assemblies 10, two sheet-like structures 21 located on the same side are connected by the elastic connector 3. Specifically, each sheet-like structure 21 has a connecting end, and the connecting end of one sheet-like structure 21 and the connecting end of the other sheet-like structure 21 are connected by the elastic connector 3. In this way, the two lifting block assemblies 10 are connected by two elastic connectors 3 that are approximately parallel to each other. This allows for a large space for relative movement between the two adjacent lifting block assemblies 10, enabling adjustments to their positions in multiple different directions. For example, when the position of one lifting block assembly 10 remains unchanged, the other lifting block assembly 10 can move along multiple directions, including the first direction and the second direction, to arbitrarily adjust its relative position, making the adjustment more flexible.

[0043] The elastic connector 3 not only enables a stable connection between two adjacent lifting block assemblies 10, but also creates a certain space between them, so that the relative positional relationship between the two lifting block assemblies 10 can be adjusted in different directions based on this space.

[0044] The above structure, by setting the skeleton device 2 as an open structure and connecting it with the elastic connector 3, avoids increasing the overall stiffness of the hanging structure and does not affect the buffering and vibration absorption performance of the hanging structure.

[0045] In addition, each of the sheet-like structures 21 also has an open end, and the open end is provided with a flap 22. The flap 22 is inclined toward the elastic device 1. Of course, the flap 22 can also cover the end face of the elastic device 1. This not only prevents rubber from overflowing during vulcanization, but also absorbs vibration along the connection direction of the hanging block assembly 10. In addition, it can also prevent the flap 22 from damaging other devices or people, thus improving the safety of the hanging structure.

[0046] The hanging device described in this embodiment of the utility model does not need to distinguish between the positive and negative directions when in use. For example, when the hanging structure includes two interconnected hanging block assemblies 10, the hooks on the vehicle body side and the hooks of the exhaust system can be inserted into the two hook mounting holes 11 of the two adjacent hanging block assemblies 10, so that the exhaust system can be set on the vehicle body side.

[0047] When the vehicle is in motion, the elastic connector 3 is provided between the frame devices 2 of the two adjacent suspension block assemblies 10. Under the action of the gravity and inertial force of the exhaust system, the elastic connector 3 can undergo elastic deformation, thereby compensating for the stiffness coefficient lost by the elastic device 1 due to being wrapped by the frame device 2. This does not affect the overall suspension structure's buffering and vibration absorption function of the exhaust system. In addition, the protective function of the frame device 2 can also extend the service life of the elastic device 1 and prevent the elastic device 1 from aging prematurely and breaking.

[0048] A second embodiment of this utility model provides a vehicle including the suspension structure described in any of the above embodiments. This suspension structure allows for the fixation of multiple hooks with different functions at the same location. For example, the suspension structure includes two elastically connected suspension block assemblies 10. One suspension block assembly 10 is used to fix a hook to the vehicle frame, while the adjacent suspension block assembly 10 is used to fix a hook to the exhaust system. Thus, the suspension structure can fix the exhaust system to the vehicle frame. This embodiment of the present invention improves the service life of the suspension structure while ensuring that the overall rigidity of the suspension structure is not excessive, thereby affecting its buffering and vibration absorption functions.

[0049] The structural principle of this utility model embodiment is simple and easy to implement. By adding a skeleton device, the problem of material breakage after aging is solved. The stiffness of the hanging structure is adjusted by the synergistic effect of the elastic device, the skeleton device and the elastic connector. This improves the service life of the hanging structure and also prevents the stiffness of the entire hanging structure from being too large, which would affect its buffering and vibration absorption functions.

[0050] In the above embodiments of this utility model, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0051] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways, rotated 90 degrees, or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0052] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, the intention is to suggest that implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of this utility model.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
