Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is applicable to the automotive field, and in particular relates to a stabilizer bar mounting structure, a stabilizer bar assembly, and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of the automotive industry, consumers have placed higher demands on vehicle comfort, handling, and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance. To improve vehicle handling, stabilizer bars are widely used in automotive suspension systems. Stabilizer bars connect the left and right suspensions, effectively suppressing body roll and improving driving stability. However, in actual use, when the stabilizer bar is in operation, the stabilizer bar bushing is subjected to lateral, longitudinal, and vertical forces. Prolonged use may even cause the stabilizer bar bushing to slip and detach from the stabilizer bar mounting bracket, thus posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Meanwhile, in order to reduce production costs and improve assembly efficiency, major OEMs are placing increasingly higher demands on suppliers for modular supply, often preferring to package and assemble similar or related parts. In the past, the method of assembling stabilizer bars involved OEMs assembling the stabilizer bars, stabilizer bar mounting brackets, and rubber bushings delivered by lower-level suppliers onto the stabilizer bars separately, and then assembling the whole assembly onto the subframe, which consumed a lot of labor time.

[0004] In summary, the problems existing in the relevant technologies urgently need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a stabilizer bar mounting structure, a stabilizer bar assembly, and an automobile.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] Firstly, a stabilizer bar mounting structure includes:

[0008] A pad extends along its length from a first end to a second end. The first end of the pad has a first limiting portion, which is bent backwards to form a first slot with an opening facing the second end. The pad has a first through hole inside the first limiting portion. The second end of the pad has a second limiting portion, which is bent backwards to form a second slot with an opening facing the first end. The pad has a second through hole inside the second limiting portion.

[0009] A bracket extends from a first connecting end to a second connecting end. The bracket forms a raised bushing fixing part between the first connecting end and the second connecting end. The bracket is disposed on the back side of the pad. The first connecting end is engaged with the first slot, and the second connecting end is engaged with the second slot. The first connecting end has a first mounting hole at the position corresponding to the first through hole, and the second connecting end has a second mounting hole at the position corresponding to the second through hole.

[0010] A bushing is disposed between the bushing fixing part and the pad, and the bushing is provided with a stabilizer rod mounting hole.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the pad extends from a first edge to a second edge along the width direction, the first edge is provided with a third limiting portion, the second edge is provided with a fourth limiting portion, and the bushing is disposed between the third limiting portion and the fourth limiting portion.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the bushing has an outwardly extending rib on its outer wall surface that mates with the bushing fixing part, and the bushing fixing part has a limiting groove that mates with the outwardly extending rib.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the bottom surface of the first connecting end is in contact with the pad, the bottom surface of the second connecting end is in contact with the pad, the two sides of the first connecting end are provided with a first flange curled toward the back side, the first flange extending to the edge of the bushing fixing part, and the two sides of the second connecting end are provided with a second flange curled toward the back side, the second flange extending to the edge of the bushing fixing part.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the bracket is formed by stamping sheet metal.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the bushing is made of rubber and extends along the lateral cutout of the stabilizer bar mounting hole.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the bushing includes a first bushing component and a second bushing component cut along the mounting hole of the stabilizer bar.

[0018] In a second aspect, a stabilizer bar assembly includes a stabilizer bar and a stabilizer bar mounting structure according to any implementation of the first aspect, wherein the stabilizer bar is mounted in the stabilizer bar mounting hole.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3This utility model provides a stabilizer bar mounting structure, including a pad 100, a bracket 200, and a bushing 300. The pad 100 extends from a first end 101 to a second end 102 along its length. The first end 101 of the pad 100 is provided with a first limiting part 103. The first limiting part 103 is bent from the pad 100 toward the back side to form a first slot 104 with an opening facing the second end 102. The pad 100 is provided with a first through hole 105 on the inner side of the first limiting part 103. The second end 102 of the pad 100 is provided with a second limiting part 106. The second limiting part 106 is bent from the pad 100 toward the back side to form a second slot 107 with an opening facing the first end 101. The pad 100 is provided with a second through hole 108 on the inner side of the second limiting part 106. The back side of the pad 100 forms an mounting space for the bracket 200 between the first limiting part 103 and the second limiting part 106.

[0033] The bracket 200 extends from the first connecting end 201 to the second connecting end 202. The bracket 200 forms a raised bushing fixing part 203 between the first connecting end 201 and the second connecting end 202. The bracket 200 is approximately "U" shaped. The bracket 200 is disposed on the back side of the pad 100. The first connecting end 201 is engaged with the first slot 104, and the second connecting end 202 is engaged with the second slot 107. The first connecting end 201 has a first mounting hole 204 at the position corresponding to the first through hole 105, and the second connecting end 202 has a second mounting hole 205 at the position corresponding to the second through hole 108.

[0034] The bushing 300, as a component for directly mounting the stabilizer bar, is located between the bushing fixing part 203 and the pad 100, and the bushing 300 is provided with stabilizer bar mounting holes.

[0035] Combination Figures 1-5 In this invention, the bushing 300 allows the stabilizer bar 400 to be inserted into its mounting hole. Then, the pad 100 and bracket 200 are fastened onto the bushing 300. The first connecting end 201 of the bracket 200 engages with the first slot 104 of the pad 100, and the second connecting end 202 engages with the second slot 107 of the pad 100. Due to the limiting structure of the pad 100, all parts are tightly secured together, preventing the bushing 300 and bracket 200 from falling off due to vibration during transportation. The OEM can directly install the parts delivered by the supplier onto the subframe using bolts, significantly reducing the OEM's time consumption.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 3The pad 100 extends from the first edge 109 to the second edge 110 along its width. The first edge 109 is provided with a third limiting part 111, and the second edge 110 is provided with a fourth limiting part 112. The bushing 300 is disposed between the third limiting part 111 and the fourth limiting part 112. In actual use, when the stabilizer bar is actuated, the bushing 300 will be subjected to lateral force, longitudinal force, and vertical force. After long-term use, the bushing 300 may even slip out of the bracket 200. Therefore, providing the third limiting part 111 and the fourth limiting part 112 on the pad 100 can effectively prevent such defects from occurring, thereby improving safety.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first edge 109 is bent toward the back side of the pad 100 to form the third limiting part 111, and the second edge 110 is bent toward the back side of the pad 100 to form the fourth limiting part 112. In this embodiment, the third limiting part 111 and the fourth limiting part 112 are directly formed by bending the pad 100 toward the back side, which makes the structure simpler and easier to manufacture.

[0038] It is understood that the third limiting part 111 and the fourth limiting part 112 can also be connected to the first edge 109 and the second edge 110 of the pad 100 by means of welding fasteners or the like.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The bushing 300 has circumferentially extending protruding ribs 301 on its outer wall surface that mates with the bushing fixing part 203. One or more protruding ribs 301 are provided, and the bushing fixing part 203 has limiting grooves 206 that mate with the protruding ribs 301. In actual use, when the stabilizer bar 400 is actuated, the bushing 300 will be subjected to lateral and longitudinal forces. After prolonged use, this may even cause the bushing 300 to slip out of the bracket 200. Therefore, providing protruding ribs 301 and limiting grooves 206 on the pad 100 can effectively prevent such defects, thereby improving safety.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom surface of the first connecting end 201 is in contact with the pad 100, and the bottom surface of the second connecting end 202 is in contact with the pad 100. The two sides of the first connecting end 201 are provided with first flanges 207 that curl towards the opposite side, extending to the edge of the bushing fixing part 203. The two sides of the second connecting end 202 are provided with second flanges 208 that curl towards the opposite side, extending to the edge of the bushing fixing part 203. By providing the first flanges 207 and the second flanges 208, the overall strength of the bracket 200 is effectively enhanced, enabling the entire stabilizer bar installation structure to maintain stability and durability even when subjected to lateral, longitudinal, and vertical forces.

[0041] Among them, the bracket 200 is formed by stamping sheet metal, which has higher structural strength and is more convenient to manufacture.

[0042] In some embodiments, the bushing 300 is made of rubber and extends to a lateral cutout in the stabilizer bar mounting hole. The bushing 300 allows the stabilizer bar to be inserted into the lateral cutout, improving the ease of installation of the bushing 300 and the stabilizer bar.

[0043] In some other embodiments, the bushing 300 includes a first bushing 300 component and a second bushing 300 component cut along the stabilizer bar mounting hole. In this embodiment, the bushing 300 is divided into two independent components, the first bushing 300 component and the second bushing 300 component, which can clamp the stabilizer bar from both sides during installation and further lock and fix it from the outside by the bracket 200 and the pad 100.

[0044] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a stabilizer bar assembly, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The stabilizer bar assembly includes stabilizer bar 400 and the stabilizer bar mounting structure in any of the above embodiments, with the stabilizer bar mounted in the stabilizer bar mounting hole. The stabilizer bar assembly can be pre-assembled by the supplier, and the OEM can directly install it onto the subframe with bolts based on the stabilizer bar assembly delivered by the supplier, greatly reducing the OEM's labor time.

[0045] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an automobile, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The vehicle includes the stabilizer bar assembly in any of the above embodiments, and the stabilizer bar assembly is connected to the vehicle subframe 600 by bolts 500 disposed in the first mounting hole 204 and the second mounting hole 205.
