Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a rear suspension traction arm with a power shock absorber. Background Technology

[0002] The rear suspension drawbar is a crucial structural component connecting the vehicle body and the rear wheels. Its core function is to control the longitudinal position of the wheels and serve as the main channel for transmitting driving and braking forces. It is also the pivot point for suspension movement, significantly impacting rear wheel alignment. It is a key component ensuring efficient power transmission, braking stability, and rear wheel traction.

[0003] A conventional rear suspension drawbar is generally composed of a sheet metal body pressed with a rubber bushing. The sheet metal body has bolt holes for connection to the steering knuckle, and the bushing side is connected to the subframe via a drawbar mounting bracket. Disadvantages: The sheet metal body of the rear suspension drawbar has a low modal, which can easily cause resonance during vehicle operation, resulting in noise or even damage to parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rear suspension traction arm with a power vibration absorber added to the sheet metal body, which transfers the resonance energy of the traction arm to the power vibration absorber and absorbs the vibration.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a rear suspension traction arm with a dynamic vibration absorber having the following structure, including a rear suspension traction arm body, the rear suspension traction arm body being composed of a sheet metal body, with a first connecting end and a second connecting end at both ends respectively; the first connecting end is a U-shaped notch, and the second connecting end is provided with a rubber bushing, the rubber bushing being fixed to the second connecting end by a bolt and nut assembly, characterized in that: a dynamic vibration absorber is provided at any position of the rear suspension traction arm body, the dynamic vibration absorber being fixed to the rear suspension traction arm body by a bolt and nut assembly, the installation position of the dynamic vibration absorber and the installation position of the rubber bushing are both located on the same plane, and the direction of vibration absorption by the dynamic vibration absorber is consistent with the height direction of the rear suspension traction arm body.

[0006] The power vibration absorber includes a vibration absorber housing and a vibration absorber block. The vibration absorber housing is provided with a central tube and an annular tube. The outer wall of the central tube is connected to the inner wall of the annular tube by several connecting strips. The vibration absorber block is tightly fitted inside the annular tube. The vibration absorber housing and the vibration absorber block are coaxial and parallel to the axis of the rubber bushing.

[0007] The two ends of the central tube extend out to their respective ends. A bushing is provided inside the central tube. The bolt of the bolt and nut passes through one end of the bushing and through the rear suspension traction arm body, and is then locked with the nut. The end face of the bushing abuts against the bottom surface of the rear suspension traction arm body.

[0008] One end of the power shock absorber is fixed to the rear suspension arm body, and the other end is far away from the rear suspension arm body and is in a suspended state.

[0009] The rear suspension traction arm body has a recess in the middle, and one end of the power shock absorber is fixed in a position in the recess and close to the rubber bushing.

[0010] There is a gap between the shock absorber housing and the bottom surface of the rear suspension traction arm body.

[0011] The outer wall of the central tube and the inner wall of the annular tube are connected by several connecting strips, with a cavity between adjacent connecting strips.

[0012] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. It solves the resonance problem of the rear suspension drawbar. A dynamic vibration absorber is added to the sheet metal body and fixed with bolts, which plays a role in vibration absorption and noise reduction. That is, when the sheet metal body resonates under external excitation, without a dynamic vibration absorber, the noise and vibration generated will be transmitted to the vehicle body, causing a bad experience for passengers. The dynamic vibration absorber can convert the vibration generated by resonance into the vibration of the mass block, which is attenuated by the heat generated by the movement of rubber, thereby absorbing the vibration and ensuring the comfort of passengers. 2. The rear suspension drawbar adopts a structure of sheet metal body pressed with rubber bushing, which is compact, simple, and lightweight. The dynamic vibration absorber solves the problem of absorbing vibration at the resonance frequency. 3. The dynamic vibration absorber is connected by bolts, which has good interchangeability and is convenient for maintenance. 4. The parts have a simple structure, simple manufacturing process, low cost, high structural strength, and solve the resonance problem of the parts. 5. It absorbs vibration, suppresses the peak resonance of the suspension, and reduces the noise inside the vehicle by 3-5dB. Attached Figure Description
