Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle body frame technology, and in particular to a lightweight vehicle body frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, with increasingly stringent global requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction, and consumers' ever-increasing demands for vehicle fuel economy, driving range, and handling performance, lightweight design has become an important direction for the automotive industry. As the core load-bearing component of a car, the weight of the vehicle body frame directly affects the vehicle's energy consumption and power performance. Traditional vehicle body frames mostly use high-strength steel, which, while possessing good strength and safety, is also quite heavy, making it difficult to meet the current demands for lightweight automotive development. In recent years, some lightweight solutions have used lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys and carbon fiber to replace steel, reducing the vehicle's weight to some extent. However, aluminum alloys suffer from insufficient strength and toughness, making them prone to deformation under complex working conditions. While carbon fiber materials are high in strength and lightweight, their high cost and complex processing technology make large-scale application difficult. Furthermore, existing lightweight vehicle body frame structures, while ensuring lightweighting, often fail to simultaneously guarantee the vehicle's collision resistance and structural stability, failing to achieve an ideal balance between lightweighting and safety.

[0003] Furthermore, most current vehicle frames focus solely on structural strength and lightweighting, generally lacking effective collision protection. In the event of a collision, they cannot effectively disperse and absorb impact forces, easily leading to severe deformation of the vehicle structure and endangering the safety of passengers. Existing lightweight vehicle frame structures, while ensuring lightweighting, often fail to balance collision resistance and structural stability, failing to achieve an ideal balance between lightweighting and safety. Modern society primarily addresses this issue by employing new materials such as high-strength steel, aluminum alloys, and carbon fiber to improve frame strength and toughness, and by leveraging intelligent driving assistance systems such as automatic emergency braking and collision warning to proactively avoid or mitigate collision damage. However, despite these efforts, limitations remain. While high-strength steel increases strength, its weight advantage is limited, making it insufficient for extreme lightweighting requirements. Aluminum alloys lack toughness and are prone to uncontrollable deformation under complex collision conditions. While carbon fiber boasts superior performance, its high cost and complex manufacturing process hinder its widespread adoption. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a lightweight vehicle body frame structure, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology lacks effective anti-collision function and cannot disperse and absorb impact force in time when encountering a collision, which can easily lead to serious deformation of the vehicle body structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lightweight vehicle body frame structure, including a front frame and a floor plate. A long plate is provided on the front side of the front frame, and fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the long plate. Multiple screws are threaded to the upper and lower sides of the fixing blocks. The outer walls of the screws are threaded to the left and right ends of the front side of the front frame.

A ring plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the buffer pad. A connecting block is slidably connected to the rear side of the ring plate. Springs are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the connecting block. A connecting short block is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of two springs.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, a multi-level buffer system is formed through the synergistic effect of the C-shaped plate, buffer pad, ring plate, connecting block and spring. The impact force is transmitted to the buffer pad through the C-shaped plate in sequence, and then through the ring plate and connecting block. After the spring absorbs part of the energy, the remaining impact force is borne by the ring plate and finally buffered by the spring. This can effectively reduce the impact force during collision and improve the impact resistance of the device.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the rotating short shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the front threaded short rod is screwed into the slotted short plate. With the fastening effect of the nut, the fixed mechanism is stably installed. This structure makes the disassembly process between the base plate and the front frame simple and efficient, facilitates the installation, maintenance and replacement of the equipment, effectively saves labor costs, and significantly improves the maintainability and flexibility of the equipment.

The buffer pad 5 absorbs the impact force and then transmits it to the ring plate 6, which in turn transmits the force to the connecting block 7. Since the connecting block 7 is designed to deform, the spring 8 absorbs part of the force on the connecting block 7. The remaining force on the connecting block 7 is further transmitted to the ring plate 10, causing the ring plate 10 to absorb the impact force and move inward. Since the ring plate 10 is fixedly connected to the spring 11, the spring 11 absorbs the final impact force, thus achieving a certain buffering effect on the collision.

[0041] By rotating the short shaft 203, the rotating shaft 204 rotates with the short shaft 203, so that the threaded short rod 209 at the front end of the rotating shaft 204 enters the slotted short plate 208. By twisting the nut 206, the fixing mechanism 2 is fixed, so that the base plate 14 and the front frame 1 can be disassembled.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
