[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 The subframe 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model can avoid the problem of welding interruption in the mounting bracket 5, improve the rigidity and strength performance of the mounting bracket 5, make the mounting bracket 5 more uniformly stressed, and prevent stress concentration, thus ensuring that it meets the requirements of the whole vehicle.
[0035] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a subframe 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame longitudinal beam 1, a frame rear crossbeam 2, longitudinal and crossbeam reinforcing plates 3, mounting bosses 4, and mounting brackets 5.
[0036] The subframe 100 is a support bracket for the axle and suspension, which can improve suspension stiffness, change ride firmness, and block vibration and noise. The subframe 100 can connect the suspension and axle and then connect to the main frame, thereby improving the comfort and stability of the vehicle. The subframe 100 of this utility model can be a front subframe 100 at the front of the vehicle or a rear subframe 100. The following description takes the rear subframe 100 as an example. The rear subframe 100 is located at the rear of the vehicle and is an important part of the rear axle. The subframe 100 can support the rear suspension system of the vehicle and is rigidly connected to the vehicle body through shock absorbers to enhance the stability, comfort and handling of the vehicle.
[0037] The subframe 100 includes a frame longitudinal beam 1, a frame rear crossbeam 2, and longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3. The frame longitudinal beam 1 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle to form longitudinal support for the subframe 100, and the frame rear crossbeam 2 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle to form lateral support for the subframe 100. The longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 are used to reinforce the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the frame rear crossbeam 2, improve the structural strength and rigidity of the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the frame rear crossbeam 2, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the subframe 100 and preventing excessive deformation of the frame rear crossbeam 2 and the frame longitudinal beam 1 in the event of a vehicle collision.
[0038] Reference Appendix Figure 1 As shown, the end of the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame is connected to the end of the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, so that the connection between the rear crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame can support and reinforce each other, which is conducive to forming a stable subframe 100 structure. The longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 are connected to the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame respectively. That is, one end of the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 is connected to the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, and the other end of the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 is connected to the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame. Thus, the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame are connected into an integral structure, which improves the structural strength and rigidity of the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, making the subframe 100 structure more stable.
[0039] Furthermore, the subframe 100 also includes a mounting boss 4 and a mounting bracket 5. The mounting boss 4 is connected to the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 of the frame, respectively, and the mounting bracket 5 is connected to the mounting boss 4.
[0040] Specifically, the mounting bracket 5 is used to install the rear upper control arm to ensure its stable movement. The mounting bracket 5 is connected to the mounting boss 4, meaning the mounting boss 4 connects to the mounting bracket 5 to ensure its installation stability. The mounting boss 4 is connected to the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, respectively. This allows the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 to provide stable support for the mounting boss 4, ensuring its installation stability. Simultaneously, the mounting boss 4 further strengthens the frame rear crossbeam 2, the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, and the frame longitudinal beam 1, further improving the rigidity and strength at the connection between the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the frame rear crossbeam 2, preventing excessive deformation of the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the frame rear crossbeam 2. In actual design, the mounting boss 4 can be welded to the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, and the mounting bracket 5 can be welded to the mounting boss 4 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5.
[0041] It should be noted that in the prior art, the mounting bracket 5 is directly welded to the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and crossbeam reinforcing plates 3 of the frame. Due to the large height difference at the connection between the rear crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal beam 1, directly welding the mounting bracket 5 to the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 will result in a large welding interruption. The large height difference will also make the mounting bracket 5 less rigid, unevenly stressed, and cause stress concentration, thus causing the rigidity and strength performance of the mounting bracket 5 to fail to meet the requirements of the whole vehicle.
[0042] This application provides a flat welding surface for the mounting bracket 5 by setting a mounting boss 4, thereby avoiding the problem of welding discontinuity in the mounting bracket 5 caused by the height difference between the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear cross beam 2 of the frame. This improves the rigidity and strength performance of the mounting bracket 5, makes the force on the mounting bracket 5 more uniform, and makes it less prone to stress concentration, thus ensuring that it meets the requirements of the whole vehicle.
[0043] According to the subframe 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting the mounting boss 4, the rear crossbeam 2, the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, and the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame are strengthened, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the connection between the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame and preventing excessive deformation of the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame; by connecting the mounting bracket 5 to the mounting boss 4, a flat welding plane is provided for the mounting bracket 5, thereby avoiding the problem of welding discontinuity of the mounting bracket 5 due to the height difference between the longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, thereby improving the rigidity and strength performance of the mounting bracket 5, making the mounting bracket 5 more evenly stressed, less prone to stress concentration, and ensuring that it meets the requirements of the whole vehicle.
[0044] In some embodiments, the mounting boss 4 is welded and fixed above the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 of the vehicle frame, and the mounting bracket 5 is welded and fixed above the mounting boss 4.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting boss 4 is welded and fixed above the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 of the frame. That is, the mounting boss 4 is welded to the upper surface of the longitudinal beam 1, the upper surface of the rear crossbeam 2, and the upper surface of the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 to achieve fixed installation of the mounting boss 4, ensure the connection strength and stability between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, and prevent the mounting boss 4 from separating from the longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3.
[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 5 is welded and fixed to the upper part of the mounting boss 4, that is, the mounting bracket 5 and the upper surface of the mounting boss 4 are welded together to achieve the fixed installation of the mounting bracket 5, ensure the connection strength and stability between the mounting bracket 5 and the mounting boss 4. At the same time, the upper surface of the mounting boss 4 can provide a flat overlapping surface for the welding position of the mounting bracket 5, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the mounting bracket 5, preventing local stress concentration and easy breakage, and thus extending the service life of the mounting bracket 5.
[0047] In some embodiments, a first welded portion 61 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, a second welded portion 62 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, and a third welded portion 63 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, a first welding part 61 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, that is, at the outer edge where the mounting boss 4 connects to the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame are welded together through the first welding part 61. A second welding part 62 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, that is, at the outer edge where the mounting boss connects to the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, the mounting boss and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame are welded together through the second welding part 62. A third welding part 63 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, that is, at the outer edge where the mounting boss 4 connects to the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 are welded together through the third welding part 63.
[0049] Furthermore, the first welding part 61, the second welding part 62 and the third welding part 63 are all distributed at intervals.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first welded part 61 is located on the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, extending obliquely from front to back along the length of the longitudinal beam 1, i.e., the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The third welded part 63 is located on the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plate 3, also extending obliquely from front to back, and the first welded part 61 and the third welded part 63 form an angle. The first welded part 61 and the third welded part 63 are distributed separately. This not only increases the welding area between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plate 3, making the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plate 3 more firm and reliable, but also avoids the concentrated distribution of the first welded part 61 and the third welded part 63, which would lead to stress concentration. This disperses the stress at the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal beam 1 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plate 3, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure. It also avoids the heat effect between the first welded part 61 and the third welded part 63 during the welding process, which would affect the structure of the mounting boss 4.
[0051] The second weld 62 is located on the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame. The second weld 62 extends and bends along the length of the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, and is spaced apart from the first weld 61 and the third weld 63. This increases the welding area between the mounting boss 4 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, making the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the crossbeam more secure and reliable. It also avoids the second weld 62 being too close to the first weld 61 and the third weld 63, which would cause stress concentration. This disperses the stress at the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, and at the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure. It also avoids the heat effect between the second weld 62 and the first weld 61 and the third weld 63 during the welding process, which would affect the structure of the mounting boss 4.
[0052] Therefore, by distributing the first welded part 61, the second welded part 62 and the third welded part 63 at intervals, the stress is effectively dispersed, excessive local stress is avoided, and the load-bearing capacity of the mounting boss 4 is improved.
[0053] In some embodiments, a fourth welded portion 64 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a fourth welding part 64 is formed between the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5, that is, at the outer edge where the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5 are connected, the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5 are welded together by the fourth welding part 64.
[0055] Furthermore, the ends of the second welding part 62, the third welding part 63 and / or the fourth welding part 64 have a bent and extended welding extension 65, the length of which is not less than L and satisfies: 4.5mm≤L≤5.5mm.
[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the ends of the second welded part 62, the third welded part 63, and the fourth welded part 64 are all provided with bent and extended weld extensions 65. In this way, the welding direction of the ends of the second welded part 62, the third welded part 63, and the fourth welded part 64 can be changed by the weld extensions 65, so as to reduce the stress concentration problem at the ends of the second welded part 62, the third welded part 63, and the fourth welded part 64, improve the durability of the ends of the second welded part 62, the third welded part 63, and the fourth welded part 64, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear cross beam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3.
[0057] The length of the welding extension 65 is not less than L, that is, the length of the welding extension 65 needs to be greater than or equal to L. L can be 4.5mm, 4.6mm, 4.7mm, 4.8mm, 4.9mm, 5.0mm, 5.1mm, 5.2mm, 5.3mm, 5.4mm, 5.5mm, etc. This ensures that the length of the welding extension 65 is long enough to play its role and effectively reduce stress concentration.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first welding portion 61 and the second welding portion 62 are spaced apart and have a welding clearance notch 66. The width of the welding clearance notch 66 is not less than D and satisfies: 7.5mm≤D≤8.5mm.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the ends of the first welding part 61 and the second welding part 62 are spaced apart, and a welding clearance notch 66 is formed between the ends of the first welding part 61 and the second welding part 62. Since the height of the frame longitudinal beam 1 is lower than the height of the frame rear crossbeam 2, there is a height difference between the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the frame rear crossbeam 2. Therefore, when the mounting boss 4 is connected to the frame rear crossbeam 2 and the frame longitudinal beam 1, it needs to be bent significantly to achieve the connection with the frame rear crossbeam 2 and the frame longitudinal beam 1. In order to avoid bending process forming problems, the welding clearance notch 66 is provided. That is to say, the welding clearance notch 66 is used to avoid bending process forming problems of the mounting boss 4.
[0060] The width of the welding clearance notch 66 shall not be less than D, that is, the width of the welding clearance notch 66 shall be greater than or equal to D. D can be 7.5mm, 7.6mm, 7.7mm, 7.8mm, 7.9mm, 8.0mm, 8.1mm, 8.2mm, 8.3mm, 8.4mm, 8.5mm or other width values within the range of 7.5mm to 8.5mm. However, the width of the welding clearance notch 66 shall not be too large to avoid affecting the structural strength of the mounting boss 4. Thus, by setting the width of the welding clearance notch 66 to the above range, the mounting boss 4 is guaranteed to have sufficient structural strength while effectively avoiding the problem of welding edge burning.
[0061] In some embodiments, the mounting boss 4 includes a central boss plate 41 and a connecting flange 42, the connecting flange 42 being disposed around the central boss plate 41.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting boss 4 includes a middle boss plate 41 and a connecting flange 42. The connecting flange 42 is arranged around the periphery of the middle boss plate 41. The connecting flange 42 is used to connect the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear cross beam 2 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3. The middle boss plate 41 is used to connect the mounting bracket 5.
[0063] Furthermore, the connecting flange 42 is connected to the longitudinal beam 1 of the frame, the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 respectively, and the mounting bracket 5 is connected to the intermediate boss plate 41.
[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting flange 42 is respectively attached to the upper surface of the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, so as to achieve a tight fit between the mounting boss 4 and the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, which facilitates the welding and fixing between the mounting boss 4 and the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3. The mounting bracket 5 also has a connecting flange, which is tightly attached to the upper surface of the intermediate boss plate 41, which facilitates the welding and fixing between the mounting boss 4 and the mounting bracket 5.
[0065] In some embodiments, the connecting flange 42 is bent relative to the intermediate boss plate 41, and the frame longitudinal beam 1, the frame rear crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 are all spaced apart from the intermediate boss plate 41, so as to define the central reinforcing cavity 7 together with the connecting flange 42.
[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting flange 42 bends outward relative to the intermediate boss plate 41. The frame longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 are all spaced a certain distance from the intermediate boss plate 41 and do not contact each other. This allows the frame longitudinal beam 1, the rear crossbeam 2, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 to jointly define the central reinforcing cavity 7 with the intermediate boss plate 41. The central reinforcing cavity 7 can further improve the strength and rigidity of the connection between the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2, making the connection between the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 more stable and reliable. At the same time, the central reinforcing cavity 7 can also absorb some impact force to reduce the impact energy transmitted to the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2, thereby preventing excessive deformation of the frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2, and further improving the overall structural stability of the subframe 100.
[0067] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the intermediate boss plate 41 is configured as a planar region, and at least a portion of the mounting bracket 5 is welded to the planar region.
[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the intermediate boss plate 41 is constructed as a planar area to provide a flat welding plane for the mounting bracket 5, so that at least a portion of the mounting bracket 5 can be completely welded to the planar area, avoiding structural abrupt changes that could cause weld discontinuities, stress concentration, and affect the strength and rigidity of the mounting bracket 5.
[0069] In practical design, such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the arrow points to the main force direction of the upper rear control arm, which causes the connection between the mounting boss 4 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame to be under greater stress. This will lead to stress concentration at the end of the second welded part 62 at this location. In order to improve the stress concentration problem, the area of the connecting flange 42 at the end of the second welded part 62 can be increased to open the stress relief hole 43 on the connecting flange 42. This can avoid the stress concentration at the end of the second welded part 62. At the same time, the stress relief hole 43 can also solve the problem of electrophoretic rust prevention, that is, ensure that the electrophoretic coating can fully exert its rust prevention function and effectively protect the mounting boss 4 from corrosion.
[0070] In actual design, the stress relief hole 43 can be set to other shapes such as circle, ellipse, square, etc., and can be flexibly set according to actual needs, not limited to the one described in this embodiment.
[0071] In some embodiments, there are two frame longitudinal beams 1, which are respectively connected to the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, and the outer side of each frame longitudinal beam 1 is connected to the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame through the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3.
[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two frame longitudinal beams 1, one of which is located on the left side of the vehicle and the other on the right side. The rear ends of the two frame longitudinal beams 1 are connected to the left and right ends of the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, respectively. The outer side of each frame longitudinal beam 1 is connected to the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame through the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3, thereby reinforcing the connection between the left frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, as well as the connection between the right frame longitudinal beam 1 and the rear crossbeam 2 of the frame, so that both frame longitudinal beams 1 can effectively resist external impact forces.
[0073] Furthermore, each longitudinal beam 1 of the frame is provided with a mounting boss 4 and a mounting bracket 5 for the corresponding longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plate 3.
[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 on the left side of the frame longitudinal beam 1 are equipped with mounting bosses 4 and mounting brackets 5, and the longitudinal and transverse beam reinforcing plates 3 on the right side of the frame longitudinal beam 1 are equipped with mounting bosses 4 and mounting brackets 5. This effectively strengthens the mounting brackets 5 on the left and right sides, improving the rigidity and strength of the mounting brackets 5 on both sides, thus meeting the requirements of the whole vehicle.
