Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorption technology, specifically to a shock absorber tower and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The shock absorber tower is one of the important components of a car, and it is a key part that connects the shock absorber to the front of the car body.

[0003] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221292863U discloses a composite shock absorber tower for automotive suspension systems. By setting both the load platform and the reinforcing ribs as carbon fiber plates and adopting a laying method without connecting parts, the shock absorber tower is made lighter to a certain extent, while the overall stiffness is improved by utilizing the characteristics of carbon fiber plates.

[0004] However, the boss and reinforcing ribs of this damping tower are separate fixed structures, and the other end of the two sets of reinforcing ribs lacks restraint. When under load, stress tends to concentrate at the connection between the boss and the reinforcing ribs, making it difficult to form a cohesive overall structure for load-bearing. At the same time, the structure of its reinforcing ribs is relatively simple, only enhancing stiffness through planar laying, without designing a targeted support structure for multi-directional vibration and impact. As a result, the overall mechanical performance of the damping tower still has room for improvement when dealing with the combined effects of lateral forces and vertical loads. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a shock absorber tower and vehicle.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] On the one hand, this utility model provides a shock-absorbing tower, including a load platform and a carbon fiber component, wherein the load platform has mounting holes for installing shock absorbers;

[0008] Several reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the outer wall of the load platform;

[0009] The carbon fiber component includes a connecting part stacked on the mounting hole and a constraint part sleeved on the outer peripheral side wall of the load table. The connecting part and the constraint part are connected by several ribs.

[0010] Several reinforcing ribs and several reinforcing bars are alternately arranged around the mounting holes on the outer peripheral side wall of the load platform.

[0011] The shock-absorbing tower of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] First, one end of several ribs of the carbon fiber component is connected to the connecting part, and the other end of several ribs is connected to a set of restraints, which enhances the overall collaborative load-bearing capacity of the carbon fiber component and facilitates stress dispersion. In addition, by installing the restraints on the load platform, the several ribs and the carbon fiber component as a whole can be better fixed to the load platform, which enhances the collaborative load-bearing capacity of the entire shock absorber tower.

[0013] Second, the load platform itself has several reinforcing ribs, and these reinforcing ribs and ribs are alternately arranged on the outer periphery of the load platform, which can cope with multi-directional vibration impacts such as lateral forces and vertical load needles, and has good structural strength and impact resistance.

[0014] Furthermore, the load table includes a table surface and an annular support surface, and the table surface and the support surface are connected by a buffer surface; the mounting hole is located on the table surface, the constraint member is sleeved on the outer peripheral side wall of the buffer surface, and the constraint member abuts against the support surface, further enhancing the assembly stability of the load table and the carbon fiber component.

[0015] Furthermore, the ribs are plate-shaped, and the plate surface of the ribs is in contact with the outer peripheral sidewall of the load platform, which increases the cross-sectional size and structural strength of the ribs, while also increasing the contact area between the carbon fiber components and the load platform.

[0016] Furthermore, the constraint member is provided with several slots for embedding several reinforcing ribs, which further enhances the assembly stability of the load platform and the carbon fiber component.

[0017] Furthermore, the first end of each set of reinforcing ribs extends to the support surface, and the second end extends to the periphery of the connection portion, so as to enhance the structural strength of the entire load platform.

[0018] Furthermore, the load platform is also provided with constraint ribs surrounding the connecting part to further enhance the assembly stability of the load platform and the carbon fiber component.

[0019] Furthermore, the second end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the constraint rib to further enhance the structural strength of the entire load platform.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting part is disc-shaped, and the constraint rib includes several arc-shaped constraint segments, the arc-shaped surface of each set of constraint segments matching the outer circumferential contour of the connecting part;

[0021] Each of the several constraint segments is connected to a set of the reinforcing ribs, and there is a notch for embedding the ribs between any two adjacent sets of constraint segments, so that the setting of the constraint ribs does not interfere with the assembly of the carbon fiber parts.

[0022] Furthermore, several of the reinforcing ribs are integrally formed with the load platform.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting part, the constraint member, and the plurality of ribs are integrally formed on the carbon fiber part.

[0024] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a vehicle equipped with the shock absorber tower as described above. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a shock-absorbing tower, including a load platform 1 and a carbon fiber component 3.

[0034] Among them, a number of reinforcing ribs 22 are integrally formed on the outer wall surface of the load platform 1 to enhance the overall structural strength of the load platform 1.

[0035] The load platform 1 has mounting holes for installing shock absorbers. The carbon fiber component 3 includes a connecting part 31 and a constraint part 33. The connecting part 31 is stacked on the mounting hole and can be fixed to the shock absorber by fasteners. The constraint part 33 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side wall of the load platform 1. The connecting part 31 and the constraint part 33 are connected by several ribs 32.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 Several reinforcing ribs 22 and several ribs 32 are alternately arranged around the mounting holes on the outer peripheral side wall of the load platform 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, one end of several ribs 32 of the carbon fiber component 3 is connected to the connecting part 31 and the other end is connected to a set of constraint members 33, which can enhance the overall structural strength and collaborative load-bearing capacity of the carbon fiber component 3 and facilitate stress dispersion. At the same time, by installing the constraint members 33 on the load platform 1, the carbon fiber component 3 composed of several ribs 32 and connecting parts 31 can be better fixed to the load platform 1, thereby enhancing the collaborative load-bearing capacity of the entire shock absorption tower.

[0038] In addition, the load platform 1 itself has several reinforcing ribs 22, and the several reinforcing ribs 22 and several ribs 32 are alternately arranged on the outer periphery of the load platform 1, which can cope with multi-directional vibration impacts such as lateral forces and vertical load needles, so that the shock absorption tower has good structural strength and impact resistance.

[0039] There is no limit to the number of reinforcing ribs 22 on the load platform 1 and the number of ribs 32 on the carbon fiber component 3; they can both be three, four, or five sets, etc.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 For example, in this embodiment, the number of reinforcing ribs 22 provided on the load platform 1 and the number of ribs 32 provided on the carbon fiber component 3 are both four sets.

[0041] In addition, in some embodiments, the number of reinforcing ribs 22 provided on the load table 1 and the number of ribs 32 provided on the carbon fiber component 3 may not be equal, but only approximately similar. That is, most of the reinforcing ribs 22 and most of the ribs 32 are alternately provided on the outer peripheral surface of the load table 1.

[0042] There are no restrictions on the material of the load platform 1. It can be made of aluminum alloy, steel or other metals, or carbon fiber.

[0043] Among them, several reinforcing ribs 22 and the load platform 1 can be integrally formed. For example, when the load platform 1 is made of aluminum alloy, it can be integrally die-cast.

[0044] In addition, the carbon fiber part 3, which consists of the connecting part 31, the constraint part 33 and several ribs 32, can also be integrally molded.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the load platform 1 includes a platform 11 and an annular support surface 13. The platform 11 and the support surface 13 are connected by a buffer surface 12, and the mounting hole is located on the platform 11.

[0046] When assembling the carbon fiber component 3 onto the load platform 1, in addition to being fitted onto the outer wall of the buffer surface 12, the constraint component 33 is also stacked on the support surface 13. This increases the contact area between the constraint component 33 and the entire load platform 1 by abutting against the support surface 13, thereby enhancing the assembly stability of the load platform 1 and the carbon fiber component 3 and the overall structural strength of the shock absorber tower.

[0047] Rib 32 can be a columnar or strip-shaped structure, see reference. Figure 4 In this embodiment, the rib 32 is plate-shaped, and the plate surface of the rib 32 is in contact with the outer peripheral side wall surface of the load platform 1. While increasing the cross-sectional size and structural strength of the rib 32, it also increases the contact area between the carbon fiber component 3 and the load platform 1, thereby enhancing the assembly stability of the load platform 1 and the carbon fiber component 3 and the overall structural strength of the shock absorber tower.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the constraint member 33 is also provided with several slots 34 for embedding several reinforcing ribs 22, which further enhances the assembly stability of the load platform 1 and the carbon fiber member 3 and the overall structural strength of the shock absorber tower.

[0049] In addition, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first end of each set of reinforcing ribs 22 extends to the support surface 13, and the second end extends to the periphery of the connecting part 31, which can enhance the structural strength of the entire load platform 1. At the same time, the outer load platform 1 is also provided with constraint ribs 21 arranged around the connecting part 31. The connecting part 31 is embedded in the contour formed by the constraint ribs 21, which further enhances the assembly stability of the load platform 1 and the carbon fiber part 3 and the overall structural strength of the shock absorber tower.

[0050] In this embodiment, several reinforcing ribs 22 and constraining ribs 21 on the load platform 1 constitute the reinforcing member 2 of the load platform 1, ensuring the overall structural strength of the load platform 1; refer to Figure 3 The second end of the reinforcing rib 22 is connected to the restraining rib 21.

[0051] Among them, reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the connecting part 31 is disc-shaped, and the constraint rib 21 can be a boss structure provided on the load platform 1. The outer contour of the boss structure can be circular, quadrilateral or polygonal. The boss structure can have a cavity to accommodate the connecting part 31. At this time, the boss structure also needs to be provided with a groove for embedding the rib 32.

[0052] Or, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the connecting part 31 is disc-shaped, and the constraint rib 21 includes several arc-shaped constraint segments. The arc-shaped concave surface of each constraint segment matches the outer circumferential contour of the connecting part 31. Each constraint segment is connected to a set of reinforcing ribs 22, and there is a notch for embedding ribs 32 between any two adjacent constraint segments, so that the constraint rib 21 does not interfere with the assembly of the carbon fiber part 3.

[0053] In this embodiment of the shock absorber tower, the carbon fiber component 3 does not need to be fixed to the load platform 1 with fasteners such as bolts and screws, which can reduce the overall weight of the automotive shock absorber tower, while ensuring the shock absorber tower's performance such as damping and stiffness.
