Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, specifically to a lightweight automobile front seat crossbeam assembly structure. Background Technology
[0002] The front crossbeam structure of automobiles comes in various forms, making it crucial to balance cost, structural rigidity, and lightweight design. As an important component of the vehicle body structure, the seat crossbeam contributes significantly to side-impact safety.
[0003] However, traditional seat crossbeam designs often face problems such as poor versatility, high production costs, and difficulties in structural optimization. For example, while some proposed front seat crossbeam structures simplify the design, their versatility remains insufficient, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of different vehicle models. Other technologies improve impact resistance by making the seat crossbeam curved or concave-convex, but there is still room for improvement in achieving weight reduction while maintaining rigidity and strength. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] This application provides a lightweight automotive front seat crossbeam assembly structure, solving the problems of poor versatility, high production costs, and difficulties in structural optimization often faced by traditional seat crossbeam designs. The two ends of the universal crossbeam body 11 are connected to the sill beam 2 and the center channel 3 respectively via a first connector 12 and a second connector 13. The structural and dimensional differences between the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 enable compatibility with different vehicle models with similar widths, while changing the length and width of the universal crossbeam body 11 achieves compatibility with different vehicle models with significantly different widths.
[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0028] This utility model discloses a lightweight automotive front seat crossbeam assembly structure.
[0029] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes:
[0030] Multiple beam units 1 are installed in two or more rows on the vehicle floor;
[0031] Sill beam 2 and center channel 3 are installed on the sides and center section of the car floor, respectively.
[0032] Beam unit 1 includes:
[0033] A general-purpose crossbeam body 11 is installed between the sill beam 2 and the central passage 3;
[0034] The first connector 12 and the second connector 13 are respectively installed at both ends of the general-purpose beam body 11, and the two ends of the general-purpose beam body 11 are respectively connected to the sill beam 2 and the central channel 3 through the first connector 12 and the second connector 13.
[0035] The two ends of the universal crossbeam body 11 are connected to the sill beam 2 and the central channel 3 through the first joint 12 and the second joint 13, respectively. The structural and dimensional differences of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 enable compatibility between different vehicle models with similar widths. By changing the length and width of the universal crossbeam body 11, compatibility between different vehicle models with large widths is achieved. By changing the height of the Z-direction cavity section of the universal crossbeam body 11, structural weight reduction is achieved while maintaining the rigidity of the crossbeam. The four universal crossbeam bodies 11 have completely identical structures and adopt a universal design, which enables the front crossbeam assembly of the car seat to simultaneously take into account cost, structural rigidity, strength, lightweight, and versatility. In subsequent side-impact conditions, the optimization of the seat crossbeam greatly shortens the structural design optimization cycle.
[0036] Specifically disclosed, the general-purpose crossbeam body 11 includes:
[0037] The main body 111 has a cavity inside;
[0038] The recessed portion 112 is located above the main body portion 111.
[0039] Furthermore, both sides of the bottom of the main body 111 are provided with overlapping surfaces 113, and the overlapping surfaces 113 are connected to the car floor.
[0040] Furthermore, the recessed portion 112 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 114 that communicates with the cavity.
[0041] The main body 111 adopts a cavity structure and achieves lightweighting through cross-sectional topology optimization. The concave part 112 and the weight reduction groove 114 form a two-stage weight reduction feature. The concave structure lowers the center of gravity height, and the weight reduction groove 114 further reduces the material in non-critical areas. Local stiffness is compensated by geometric shape.
[0042] Furthermore, the overlapping portions of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 with the general-purpose beam body 11 are both provided with sliding surfaces 14, and the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 slide with the general-purpose beam body 11 through the sliding surfaces 14 with a reserved overlap allowance.
[0043] The first connector 12 and the second connector 13 slide with the universal crossbeam body 11 through the sliding surface 14 and leave an overlap allowance to adapt to the size fluctuations of the floor of different vehicle models and reduce the cost of customized mold opening.
[0044] Furthermore, the general-purpose crossbeam body 11 and the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are connected by spot welding.
[0045] The array arrangement of two rows of crossbeam units 1 forms a grid-like support for the seating area, improving the bending and torsional stiffness of the floor area, while providing a distributed load transfer path for the seat mounting points. The sill beam 2 and the central channel 3 serve as boundary constraints, forming a closed-loop force transmission structure with the crossbeam units 1, optimizing the collision energy management path.
[0046] The main body 111 adopts a hollow structure, achieving lightweighting through cross-sectional topology optimization. The concave part 112 and the weight-reducing groove 114 form a two-stage weight-reduction feature. The concave structure lowers the center of gravity height, and the weight-reducing groove 114 further reduces material in non-critical areas. Local stiffness is compensated through geometric shape. The first joint 12 and the second joint 13 slide with the universal crossbeam body 11 through the sliding surface 14 and are provided with overlap allowance to adapt to the dimensional fluctuations of the floor of different vehicle models and reduce the cost of customized mold opening.
[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
