Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a rear suspension bracket structure. Background Technology

[0002] The rear suspension bracket of a car is a key load-bearing component that connects the engine mounting system to the car body. It is mainly used to absorb engine vibration and transfer load.

[0003] Traditional rear suspension brackets are made by cutting and welding sections of Q235 steel plate, which has three major technical defects: First, the multi-process welding leads to a complex production process (requiring six processes such as material cutting, bending, and positioning welding), increasing the cost per unit; Second, stress concentration is prone to occur in the weld area, and bench tests show that its fatigue life is only 80,000 cycles, which is lower than the industry standard requirement of 120,000 cycles; Third, welding thermal deformation leads to large fluctuations in the tolerance of key mounting holes, affecting the NVH performance of the entire vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rear suspension support structure to solve the problem of poor structural strength of traditional rear suspension support products mentioned in the background art.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

The bracket body, as a core load-bearing component, adopts an L-shaped structure to optimize spatial layout and force transmission. The first contact surface is precision machined to form a flat mating surface to ensure a gapless fit with the drive motor. The second contact surface undergoes special surface treatment to enhance the coefficient of friction with the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame. The heat dissipation holes are arranged in a streamlined array to promote air convection and reduce the risk of heat accumulation. The boss is locally thickened to improve the deformation resistance of the bolt connection area.

[0008] Preferably, the boss has four first screw holes, and the first screw holes are provided with first bolts for connecting the drive motor. The first screw holes adopt a stepped thread structure to enhance the bolt engagement strength.

[0012] 1. The structure of this rear suspension bracket has been comprehensively improved in terms of structural strength. The L-shaped structure of the main body of the bracket, combined with the outer reinforcing rib design, effectively disperses stress concentration.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rear suspension bracket structure, which includes a bracket body 1, which is an L-shaped structure. The inner side of the short side of the bracket body 1 is provided with a first contact surface 2 for connecting with the drive motor, and the outer side of the long side of the bracket body 1 is provided with a second contact surface 3 for connecting with the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame. The bracket body 1 is provided with heat dissipation holes 4, and a boss 5 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the long side of the bracket body 1. The bracket body 1, as a basic load-bearing structure, achieves multi-directional load transfer through L-shaped geometric design. The first contact surface 2 is precision milled to form a high-precision plane to ensure effective transmission of vibration energy with the drive motor. The second contact surface 3 is shot-peened to enhance the reliability of dynamic connection with the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame. The heat dissipation holes 4 are optimized by computational fluid dynamics to accelerate heat convection and reduce the operating temperature of the motor. The hollow design of the heat dissipation holes reduces the overheating of the motor and reduces performance degradation. The boss 5 serves as a local reinforcement structure to concentrate the preload of the bolts and reduce overall material consumption.

[0023] The boss 5 has four first screw holes 6. The first screw holes 6 are provided with first bolts 7 for connecting the drive motor. The outer edge of the bracket body 1 is fixed with reinforcing ribs 8. The first screw holes 6 adopt a blind hole design and are equipped with sealing grooves to prevent corrosive media from entering the threads. The reinforcing ribs 8 improve the bending stiffness of the key area.

[0024] A chamfer 9 is fixedly provided at the edge of the bracket body 1, and a second screw hole 10 is provided on the short side of the bracket body 1. A second bolt 11 for connecting the longitudinal beam of the frame is fixedly provided inside the second screw hole 10. The chamfer 9 reduces the problem of shrinkage in casting and facilitates demolding.

[0025] Working principle: The rear suspension bracket structure optimizes the spatial layout through the L-shaped structure of the bracket body 1. The first contact surface 2 on the inner side of its short side is in close contact with the drive motor, and the second contact surface 3 on the outer side of the long side is firmly connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame. The heat dissipation holes 4 on the bracket body 1 effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor. The boss 5 on the outer side of the long side and its four first screw holes 6, together with the first bolt 7, achieve precise positioning and fixation of the drive motor. The reinforcing ribs 8 and chamfers 9 on the outer edge of the bracket body 1 significantly improve the overall structural strength and anti-resonance performance. The second screw hole 10 at the short side, through the second bolt 11, ensures the reliable installation of the longitudinal beam of the frame. Compared with the traditional welding process, this structure uses CNC machining to improve dimensional stability. The design of the reinforcing ribs 8 and chamfers 9 reduces the risk of resonance damage. The heat dissipation holes 4 lower the operating temperature of the motor. The boss 5 reduces the machining area. The chamfers 9 effectively solve the problem of casting shrinkage and improve demolding efficiency.
