Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric four-wheeled vehicle technology, specifically relating to a frame for a micro electric four-wheeled vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most electric four-wheeled vehicle frames on the market use circular steel tube structures. This makes it difficult to guarantee precision at the locations where components need to be assembled, resulting in low production efficiency and requiring further processing to meet assembly requirements. This complicates the four-wheeled vehicle frame structure, increasing production costs due to the numerous welding points and complex processes. Therefore, based on a previously proposed frame for a fully enclosed electric tricycle (ZL202222335511.1), an improved and optimized frame for a micro electric four-wheeled vehicle is proposed. This design simplifies the structure, improves structural strength, and reduces R&D and manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

The left and right ends of the front upper crossbeam are respectively provided with front left pipe beams and front right pipe beams. The front left pipe beam is connected to the left door frame, and the front right pipe beam is connected to the right door frame.

[0006] A steering wheel support beam is located slightly to the left of the center of the upper front crossbeam. A left front shock absorber support and a right front shock absorber support are spaced apart on the upper front crossbeam. The left front shock absorber support and the right front shock absorber support are symmetrical about the center of the upper front crossbeam.

[0007] The upper part of the front left inclined beam is provided with a left side support beam for the bumper, the upper part of the front right inclined beam is provided with a right side support beam for the bumper, a brake pedal mounting support beam is provided between the middle of the front left inclined beam and the middle of the front right inclined beam, and brake oil pipe positioning plates are provided at the lower part of the front left inclined beam and the lower part of the front right inclined beam.
