Description
A new energy vehicle axle connection bracket Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive axle technology, and in particular to a new energy vehicle axle connection bracket. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, traditional cars are gradually being replaced by new energy vehicles. As a key component in the chassis system of new energy vehicles, the axle connecting bracket plays an important role in connecting the axle and the vehicle body. Its performance directly affects the stability, comfort and safety of the vehicle.
[0003] Currently, traditional automobile axle assemblies and main frames generally use ordinary steel leaf springs and composite leaf springs in their mechanical and vehicle suspension systems. Ordinary steel leaf springs are typically composed of several alloy leaf springs of the same width but different lengths stacked together, while composite leaf springs consist of a single composite leaf spring. When installing leaf springs on a car suspension, they are usually mounted longitudinally to the corresponding axle in a direction parallel to the vehicle's front and rear ends. The middle part of the leaf spring is fixedly connected to the axle, and the two ends are connected to the vehicle chassis. When working, the leaf spring bears a load in a positive vertical direction. The greater the load, the greater the deformation of the leaf spring; the smaller the load, the smaller the deformation. However, under large loads, only the hinged parts at both ends of the leaf spring bear the load, which can shorten its lifespan. Prolonged load application can lead to leaf spring breakage, resulting in poor reliability. Furthermore, it increases the vibration of minor bumps and vibrations in the vehicle, has poor shock absorption performance, and cannot effectively absorb the vibrations and impacts transmitted from the axle to the vehicle body, reducing passenger comfort.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new energy vehicle axle connection bracket with good shock absorption performance. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0029] As shown in Figures 1-4; this utility model discloses a new energy vehicle axle 2 connecting bracket 1, including bracket 1, leaf spring 3, fixing component and shock absorption component;
[0030] The top of bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the car chassis.
[0031] Both ends of the leaf spring 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bracket 1;
[0032] The axle 2 and the leaf spring 3 are connected by a fixing assembly;
[0033] Multiple shock-absorbing components are arranged between the leaf spring 3 and the bracket 1; the shock-absorbing components include a spring 12, a telescopic member 13 and a fixed seat 14. The telescopic member 13 is hollow inside. The top end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner wall of the telescopic member 13, the bottom end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the telescopic member 13, the top end of the telescopic member 13 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the bracket 1, the bottom end of the telescopic member 13 is rotatably connected to the top end of the fixed seat 14, and the bottom end of the fixed seat 14 is fixedly connected to the top end of the leaf spring 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, two shock-absorbing components are provided, arranged symmetrically around the fixed component.
[0035] This utility model is designed with spring 12 and telescopic member 13 working together. Spring 12 itself is elastic and deforms to absorb energy when subjected to external force. Telescopic member 13 expands and contracts when subjected to external force to absorb energy. The two work together to effectively absorb and buffer the vibration and impact transmitted from the axle 2 to the car chassis, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the vehicle during driving and reducing the bumpy feeling of passengers in the car.
[0036] Secondly, bracket 1 is fixed to the bottom of the car chassis, and the two ends of leaf spring 3 are fixedly connected to the two ends of bracket 1. Axle 2 is also connected to leaf spring 3 through a fixing component, forming a stable connection structure. This connection method allows the force on axle 2 to be evenly transmitted to bracket 1 and chassis, dispersing the load, avoiding excessive local stress, enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire axle 2 connection structure, and helping to extend the service life of components.
[0037] Furthermore, the top end of the telescopic component 13 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the bracket 1, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the top end of the fixed seat 14. This design allows the leaf spring 3 to move to a certain extent relative to the road surface during vehicle operation. Specifically, when encountering uneven road surfaces, the leaf spring 3 can swing up and down, back and forth, and left and right, ensuring that the shock absorption components work flexibly under force, while also reducing the stress concentration problem caused by rigid connection.
[0038] In this embodiment, two support plates 4 are fixed at both ends of the bracket 1, and the two support plates 4 are arranged opposite to each other. Both ends of the leaf spring 3 are fixed with protrusions 5, which are arranged between the two support plates 4. The two support plates 4 and the protrusions 5 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0039] This utility model forms a relatively compact and robust connection structure by setting opposite support plates 4 at both ends of the bracket 1 and fixing the support plates 4 to the protrusions 5 at both ends of the leaf spring 3 with bolts, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire axle 2 connection system.
[0040] In this embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing plate 6, a first U-shaped groove 7, and a second U-shaped groove. The top end of the fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the opening end of the first U-shaped groove 7, and the bottom end of the fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the opening end of the second U-shaped groove 8. The axle 2 passes through the first U-shaped groove 7 and is fixedly connected to the first U-shaped groove. The leaf spring 3 passes through the second U-shaped groove 8 and is fixedly connected to the second U-shaped groove 8.
[0041] This invention connects the first U-shaped groove 7 and the second U-shaped groove 8 into a single structure using a fixing plate 6. The axle 2 passes through the first U-shaped groove 7 and is fixedly connected to it, while the leaf spring 3 passes through the second U-shaped groove 8 and is fixedly connected to it. This method can firmly connect the axle 2 and the leaf spring 3 together. The design of the U-shaped groove can constrain the axle 2 and the leaf spring 3 from multiple directions, limiting their relative displacement in the horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring that the connection between the axle 2 and the leaf spring 3 is stable and reliable during vehicle operation, and effectively transmitting force and torque.
[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing component also includes a plurality of connecting posts 9, which pass through the first U-shaped groove 7, the fixing plate 6, and the second U-shaped groove 8 in sequence and are threadedly connected to the locking nut 10. The locking nut 10 is located at the bottom of the second U-shaped groove 8.
[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting post 9 is configured as one, passing through the center of the first U-shaped groove 7, the fixing plate 6, and the second U-shaped groove 8 in sequence.
[0044] This utility model can apply a fastening force to the first U-shaped groove 7, the fixing plate 6 and the second U-shaped groove 8 through the connecting column 9, so as to ensure that the connection between the axle 2, the leaf spring 3 and the fixing plate 6 is more secure, effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration, bumps and other factors during vehicle operation, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire axle 2 connection structure.
[0045] In this embodiment, a shock-absorbing spring 11 is installed in the first U-shaped groove and the bracket 1. The top end of the first U-shaped groove 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the shock-absorbing spring 11, and the bottom end of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the top end of the shock-absorbing spring 11.
[0046] The shock-absorbing spring 11 of this utility model can absorb and buffer the vibration and impact transmitted from the axle 2 to the bracket 1 and the automobile chassis.
[0047] In this embodiment, the telescopic member 13 includes a first sleeve 131 and a second sleeve 132. The first sleeve 131 is sleeved on the outside of the second sleeve 132. The inner wall of the first sleeve 131 is provided with a plurality of grooves 133. The outer wall of the second sleeve 132 is provided with a protrusion 134 that cooperates with the grooves 133. The protrusion 134 slides in the grooves 133. A limiting block 135 that is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 131 is provided at the bottom of the grooves 133. The first sleeve 131 and the second sleeve 132 are hollow inside. The top end of the inner wall of the first sleeve 131 is fixedly connected to the top end of the spring 12, and the bottom end of the inner wall of the second sleeve 132 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring 12.
[0048] The bottom of the first sleeve 131 of this utility model is fitted onto the top of the second sleeve 132, and the cooperation between the groove 133 and the protrusion 134 allows the protrusion 134 to slide within the groove 133. This design ensures that the telescopic member 13 can move smoothly along a predetermined direction during the telescopic process without radial swaying or deviation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the telescopic action. This effectively absorbs and buffers the vibration transmitted by the axle 2, and can continuously provide a good shock absorption effect for the axle 2 connection structure. The spring 12 plays an important role in buffering and shock absorption inside the telescopic member 13. When the telescopic member 13 is subjected to external force and telescopics, the spring 12 will simultaneously undergo compression or stretching deformation, absorbing and storing vibration energy, further enhancing the absorption and buffering capacity of the axle 2 vibration.
[0049] In this embodiment, a slide table 19 is fixed at the top of the first sleeve 131, and a slide groove 18 that cooperates with the slide table 19 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 1. The slide groove 18 is arranged horizontally.
[0050] When the vehicle encounters uneven road surfaces or other conditions during driving, causing the axle 2 to undergo lateral displacement, the telescopic component 13 can adapt to this displacement by sliding the slide table 19 within the slide groove 18. This avoids excessive lateral stress on the components due to rigid connections, thereby protecting the various components of the axle 2 connection structure and reducing the risk of damage. Combined with the telescopic function, the shock absorber assembly can more comprehensively cope with vibrations and impacts from different directions. It can not only absorb vertical vibrations but also buffer lateral impact forces to a certain extent, further increasing the freedom of movement of the shock absorber assembly.
[0051] In this embodiment, a plurality of support rods 15 are provided between the second sleeve 132 and the fixed base 14. Ball heads 16 are integrally connected to both ends of the support rods 15. Ball bearings 17 for mounting the ball heads 16 are fixed to the top of the fixed base 14 and the bottom of the second sleeve 132.
[0052] In this embodiment, there are two support rods 15, which are symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the fixed seat 14 as the axis of symmetry.
[0053] The ball heads 16 at both ends of the support rod 15 of this utility model cooperate with the ball bearings 17 on the fixed seat 14 and the second sleeve 132, so that the second sleeve 132 and the fixed seat 14 can rotate flexibly in multiple directions. Specifically, when the axle 2 undergoes complex movements due to uneven road surface or other factors during driving, the support rod 15 can rotate accordingly under the action of the ball bearings 17, thereby better adapting to various movement postures of the axle 2, ensuring that the shock absorption components can play a continuous and effective role, and improving the adaptability of the entire axle 2 connection structure to different working conditions.
[0054] In practical use, the top of the bracket 1 for a new energy vehicle axle 2 is fixed to the bottom of the vehicle chassis. Its two ends are securely connected to the protrusions 5 at both ends of the leaf spring 3 via a support plate 4 and bolts and nuts. A fixing plate 6 connects to a first U-shaped groove 7 and a second U-shaped groove 8. The axle 2 passes through the first U-shaped groove 7, and the leaf spring 3 passes through the second U-shaped groove 8 and is fixed thereto. Multiple connecting posts 9 sequentially pass through the first U-shaped groove 7, the fixing plate 6, and the second U-shaped groove 8, and are threadedly connected to locking nuts 10, enhancing the connection's tightness. The telescopic component 13 consists of a first sleeve 131 and a second sleeve 132, which are connected to a protrusion via a groove 133. The 134 mechanism enables stable telescopic movement, the limit block 135 restricts the telescopic stroke, and the internal spring 12 enhances the shock absorption effect. The slide table 19 at the top of the first sleeve 131 slides within the transverse slide groove 18 at the bottom of the bracket 1, accommodating the lateral displacement of the axle 2. Simultaneously, the support rod 15 of the ball head 16 between the second sleeve 132 and the fixed seat 14 achieves multi-directional flexible rotation through the ball bearing 17, further buffering multi-directional impact forces. In addition, the shock-absorbing spring 11 at the top of the first U-shaped groove and the bottom of the bracket 1 also absorbs and buffers vibrations. These structures work together to effectively absorb and buffer the vibrations and impacts transmitted by the axle 2, ensuring the smoothness and comfort of vehicle operation.
