Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1The application discloses a front roof crossbeam of a car, which comprises a crossbeam body 1, wherein the crossbeam body 1 is an integrally-formed arc-shaped strip structure, the two ends of the crossbeam body 1 are matched with mounting plates fixedly mounted on an outer plate of a roof of the car, the two edges of the crossbeam body 1 in the length direction are respectively provided with an outer turning edge 2 and an inner turning edge 3, the middle position of the inner turning edge 3 is provided with a break 4, compared with the original front roof crossbeam structure of the car, only the two ends of the inner turning edge 3 are reserved, when the crossbeam body 1 is fixedly mounted on the outer plate of the roof of the car through the mounting plates at the two ends, the inner turning edge 3 only contacts the edges of the mounting plates at the two ends of the crossbeam body 1, and the inner turning edge 3 no longer contacts the outer plate of the roof of the car, so that the joint between the inner turning edge 3 and the outer plate of the roof of the car does not need to be sealed and connected through structural glue, the middle position of the crossbeam body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 5, two groups of reading lamp mounting holes 6 are arranged in the mounting groove 5, the reading lamp mounting holes 6 can be used for positioning and mounting reading lamps of the car, the two sides of the crossbeam body 1, at the positions of the mounting groove 5, are both provided with a boss 7, the boss 7 is provided with a roof fixing hole 8, which is used for positioning and mounting an interior roof of the car, the left and right ends of the crossbeam body 1 are both provided with a positioning hole 9, and the crossbeam body 1 is further provided with a first weight-reducing hole 10, a second weight-reducing hole 11 and a third weight-reducing hole 12, wherein the first weight-reducing hole 10 is arranged at the middle position of the mounting groove 5, the second weight-reducing hole 11 is arranged between one group of the bosses 7 and the mounting groove 5, and the third weight-reducing hole 12 is arranged between two groups of the bosses 7 and the positioning holes 9.

[0029] Objective data investigation test is carried out for the high gear acceleration 1400rpm booming problem of a pickup truck (as shown in Figure 2 The test results show that the front roof crossbeam and the front windshield vibration are related to the booming noise in the car. The modal data of the front roof crossbeam, the front windshield and the roof are tested (as shown in Figure 3 The objective test data show that the front windshield and the front roof crossbeam have modal coupling at 48Hz. It is judged that the booming noise in the car is caused by the engine excitation transmission during the acceleration process, which causes the modal coupling resonance of the front windshield and the roof. Therefore, the traditional front roof crossbeam structure of the car is optimized according to the above test results. Compared with the traditional structure, the first weight-reducing hole 10, the second weight-reducing hole 11 and the third weight-reducing hole 12 are arranged at appropriate positions on the crossbeam body 1. In addition, the break 4 at the middle position of the inner turning edge 3 makes the inner turning edge 3 only reserve the two ends. When the crossbeam body 1 is fixedly mounted on the outer plate of the roof of the car through the mounting plates at the two ends, the inner turning edge 3 only contacts the edges of the mounting plates at the two ends of the crossbeam body 1, and the inner turning edge 3 no longer contacts the outer plate of the roof of the car, thereby avoiding the contact noise between the two. At the same time, the joint between the inner turning edge 3 and the outer plate of the roof of the car does not need to be sealed and connected through structural glue. After the structure is optimized, the simulation verification and experimental verification of the frequency response results of the front roof crossbeam are compared (as shown inFigure 4 As shown in the figure), the top front beam original point frequency response is reduced by about 7Hz (44Hz→37Hz) compared with the original state frequency, and the frequency response sensitivity is basically the same. According to the comparison of the top front beam original point frequency response test results, it can be obtained (as shown in the figure) Figure 5 As shown in the figure), the top front beam structure is shifted by about 10Hz (46.51→36.34Hz) compared with the original state top front beam original point frequency response; the actual road verification result can be obtained (as shown in the figure) Figure 6 、 7 As shown in the figure), the second-order noise in the vehicle is optimized by about 10dB compared with the original state, and the second-order vibration of the front windshield and the top front beam is optimized by about 60%. Therefore, the above technical improvement not only ensures that the automobile top front beam meets the requirements of strength and safety properties, but also avoids the NVH problem caused by the modal frequency coupling between the top front beam and the front windshield, improves the NVH level of the whole vehicle, and reduces the weight and cost of the whole vehicle by about 15% and 10% respectively due to the setting of the first weight reduction hole 10, the second weight reduction hole 11, the third weight reduction hole 12 and the fracture 4. Therefore, it is beneficial to the weight reduction and cost reduction of the whole vehicle.

[0030] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The buckle holes 13 are provided at both ends of the beam body 1, which are matched with the buckles on the mounting plate.
