[0002] The suspension top support, also known as the suspension tower brace, is a structural component installed on the vehicle body and serving as one of the foundations for the suspension mounting. The functions of the suspension top support include: being integrally fixed to the vehicle body and providing longitudinal support for the vehicle's suspension assembly; and connecting the vehicle body and the shock absorbers in the suspension assembly. Existing suspension top supports have a simple shape and limited function. Aside from the portion connecting the suspension assembly and the vehicle body, a significant portion of the suspension top support structure merely serves to define its shape without any specific functional purpose. The design philosophy of vehicle lightweighting aims to reduce structures in the vehicle that occupy unnecessary weight and space and have no practical function. Utility Model Content

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. 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.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0039] This utility model provides a suspension top support 100 for a vehicle. Based on this, it also provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body, a suspension assembly, a brake assembly, and the suspension top support 100. The suspension top support 100, also commonly referred to as a suspension tower, is a structural component installed on the vehicle body and serving as one of the suspension mounting bases. (See reference...) Figures 1-4 The top support member 100 of the suspension is a hollow member with an internal cavity and an open end that connects to the cavity. It is shaped like an inverted bowl, a cover, or a tower. The cavity is the suspension movable cavity 40 used to accommodate the suspension assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the suspension top support 100 includes a main body and a top cover 10 fixedly connected. The top cover 10 forms the top end of the suspension top support 100 and has a first suspension connection 103. One end of the main body extends from the edge of the top cover 10 in a direction away from the bottom side of the top cover 10. The main body and the top cover 10 together form a suspension active cavity 40. The end of the main body away from the top cover 10 forms an opening that connects to the suspension active cavity 40. The end of the main body away from the top cover 10 forms a vehicle body connection structure 101.

[0041] In some embodiments, the suspension top support 100 is a single, integrally formed part. Optionally, the suspension top support 100 is a one-piece die-cast aluminum part. The aluminum material is used to obtain the suspension top support 100 through a die-casting process, which can significantly improve the stiffness and strength of the suspension top support 100 and effectively increase the upper limit of the suspension top support 100 to withstand the impact and vibration loads from the suspension assembly.

[0042] It is understood that in other embodiments, the top suspension support 100 can also be an indivisible single structure obtained by fixing multiple separate independent parts together through welding, riveting and other connection processes. The material of the top suspension support 100 is not limited to aluminum, but can also be supported by other metals or alloys. The manufacturing process of the top suspension support 100 is not limited to one-piece die casting.

[0043] The suspension assembly includes a shock absorber 401, a suspension control arm, and a steering knuckle. In some embodiments, the first suspension connection 103 includes a shock absorber connection, with the top end of the shock absorber 401, which is relatively far from the ground, fixedly connected to the shock absorber connection by bolts or other fasteners. In other embodiments, the first suspension connection 103 includes a first control arm connection, with one end of the suspension control arm connected to the steering knuckle and the other end connected to the first control arm connection. In many more embodiments, the first suspension connection 103 has both a shock absorber connection and a first control arm connection, thus allowing simultaneous connection of the shock absorber 401 and the suspension control arm. This invention does not limit the form of the suspension assembly adapted to the top suspension support 100; the suspension assembly can be a MacPherson strut suspension, a double wishbone suspension, a multi-link suspension, etc.

[0044] The vehicle body includes a longitudinal beam 301, wheel arches, and a front bulkhead. The longitudinal beam 301 extends along the length of the vehicle into the cabin and protrudes from the front bulkhead. The wheel arches are located above the longitudinal beam 301 and on the front side of the front bulkhead, defining the wheel space. The front bulkhead separates the cabin space from the driver's cab space, which are located on the front and rear sides of the front bulkhead, respectively.

[0045] In some embodiments, the vehicle body connection structure 101 includes a beam connection plate 31 formed by a portion of the base 30, and the beam connection plate 31 and the longitudinal beam 301 are fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts and rivets; in other embodiments, the vehicle body connection structure 101 includes a wheel arch connection plate 32 formed by another portion of the base 30, and the wheel arch connection plate 32 and the wheel arch plate are fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts and rivets, or the wheel arch connection plate 32 and the wheel arch plate are welded together; it is understood that in more embodiments, the vehicle body connection structure 101 has both a beam connection plate 31 and a wheel arch connection plate 32.

[0046] In some embodiments, the main body also includes a second suspension connection 104. (See also...) Figures 2-3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second suspension connection 104 includes a second control arm connection, which has a suspension connection through hole for a bolt or pin to pass through. Correspondingly, the suspension assembly can be a double wishbone suspension, including a steering knuckle, a first suspension control arm 402, and a second suspension control arm 403. The two ends of the first suspension control arm 402 are respectively connected to the steering knuckle and the first control arm connection. The second suspension control arm 403 is located on the side of the first suspension control arm 402 that is relatively closer to the ground. One end of the second suspension control arm 403 is connected to the steering knuckle, and the other end is connected to the second control arm connection. The second suspension control arm 403 can rotate relative to the top suspension support 100 around a bolt or pin. It is understood that the end of the second suspension control arm 403 that is relatively far from the steering knuckle can also be connected to the vehicle body, for example, to the longitudinal beam 301.

[0047] In other embodiments, the suspension assembly is a MacPherson strut suspension, the first suspension connection 103 retains the shock absorber connection and cancels the first control arm connection, the steering knuckle and the second suspension control arm 403 are retained and the first suspension control arm 402 is canceled, and the two ends of the second suspension control arm 403 are respectively connected to the steering knuckle and the second control arm connection of the second suspension connection 104.

[0048] The existing suspension top support components function as follows: they are fixedly connected to the vehicle body via a body connection structure; and they provide longitudinal support to the suspension assembly via a top cover, enabling connection between the vehicle body and the shock absorber, and ensuring that the shock absorber can contract properly to absorb wheel vibration energy. However, the existing suspension top support components have a simple shape and limited function. Apart from connecting the suspension assembly and the vehicle body, a considerable portion of the structure in the suspension top support component lacks specific functionalities. For example, the main body only serves to form the shape of the suspension top support component and to allow the top cover to be higher than the main body in the vertical direction. Therefore, the existing suspension top support components do not conform to the vehicle lightweight design concept.

[0049] In view of this, the suspension top support 100 of this utility model is improved as follows: the main body also has a brake assembly mounting structure, which can serve as one of the mounting bases for the vehicle's brake assembly, thereby providing load-bearing and fixing functions for the brake assembly. It can be understood that by improving the structure of the main body, in addition to connecting to the vehicle body, the main body also accommodates the brake assembly mounting and fixing function, expanding the functional attributes of the main body. When the suspension top support 100 is used in a vehicle, the brake assembly mounting structure can replace the brake assembly brackets installed on the longitudinal beams in existing vehicle products. In this way, vehicles using the suspension top support 100 of this utility model can reduce the number of brake assembly brackets, thereby saving more cabin space, and fewer brake assembly brackets can reduce the overall vehicle weight.

[0050] Specifically, see Figures 2-4 The main body includes a fixedly connected pedestal 20 and base 30. The pedestal 20 includes a platform wall 21 that extends along the edge of the top cover 10 and forms a closed or nearly closed enclosure structure. One end of the pedestal 20 is bent and connected to the edge of the top cover 10, and the base 30 is connected to the other end of the pedestal 20 that is relatively far from the top cover 10. A brake assembly mounting structure and a second suspension connection 104 are constructed on the pedestal 20, and a vehicle body connection structure 101 is constructed on the base 30. (See reference...) Figures 5-6 The base 30 is a flanged structure that is bent and connected to the end of the base 20 away from the top cover 10. Thus, the base 30 can be attached to the car body to increase the contact area between the car body connection structure 101 and the car body, so that the car body connection structure 101 and the car body can form a threaded connection, riveted connection or welded connection.

[0051] See Figures 1-5 In some embodiments, the brake assembly mounting structure includes a positioning plate 22, a platform wall 21, the edge of the top cover 10 and the edge of the positioning plate 22 integrally connected, the platform wall 21 is bent and connected to the top cover 10, the suspension active cavity 40 is formed by the platform wall 21, the positioning plate 22 and the top cover 10, the top cover 10 forms the bottom of the suspension active cavity 40, the platform wall 21 and the positioning plate 22 form the inner sidewall of the suspension active cavity 40, and the end of the platform wall 21 that is relatively away from the top cover 10 is connected to the base 30 and forms an opening for the suspension assembly to extend into the suspension active cavity 40.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the braking assembly includes a brake motor, which can be used to recover braking energy when the brake disc is clamped by the brake caliper, or to reduce the load of mechanical friction braking through motor braking. The positioning plate 22 includes a motor mounting plate 221 for connecting the brake motor. See also... Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-6The motor mounting plate 221 is higher or partially protrudes from the side of the platform wall 21 opposite to the suspension movable cavity 40, and the motor mounting plate 221 has a first fastening fixing hole. The first fastening fixing hole allows fasteners such as bolts to pass through, thereby fixing and locking the brake motor to the motor mounting plate 221.

[0053] With this configuration, when the suspension top support 100 is used in a vehicle, the motor mount plate can replace the motor mount brackets that are installed on the body or other structural components in existing vehicles. Therefore, vehicles using the suspension top support 100 of this utility model can reduce the number of motor mount brackets, thereby saving more cabin space and reducing the overall vehicle weight.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the braking assembly further includes a motor mounting plate 201, which directly fixes to and supports the brake motor. The motor mounting plate 221 and the motor mounting plate 201 are directly fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the motor mounting plate 201 can be omitted, and the brake motor and the motor mounting plate 221 are directly fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0055] In some embodiments, the braking assembly includes a braking control module, abbreviated as BCU (Brake Control Unit). The positioning plate 22 includes a module support plate 222 for connecting the braking control module. The module support plate 222 and the side of the platform wall 21 opposite to the suspension movable cavity 40 form a positioning step, which provides support force to the braking control module. Furthermore, the braking assembly mounting structure includes a positioning block 23 protruding from the module support plate 222. The positioning block 23 restricts the relative movement freedom between the braking control module and the module support plate 222. The positioning block 23 has a second fastening positioning hole through which fasteners such as bolts can pass, thereby fixing and locking the braking control module to the module support plate 222.

[0056] With this configuration, when the suspension top support 100 is used in a vehicle, the modular support plate can replace the modular support frame or modular anti-sway frame that is used to set the body or other structural components in existing vehicles. Therefore, vehicles using the suspension top support 100 of this utility model can reduce the number of modular support frames or modular anti-sway frames, thereby saving more cabin space and reducing the overall vehicle weight.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the braking assembly further includes a module mounting plate 202, which directly fixes and supports the braking control module, and the module support plate 222 and the module mounting plate 202 are directly fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts.

[0058] Furthermore, the positioning block 23 is a conical protrusion on the side of the module support plate 222 opposite to the base 30. The module mounting plate 202 has a conical hole adapted to the positioning block 23. With this configuration, it is easier for the positioning block 23 to extend into the conical hole, and the module mounting plate 202 can be quickly attached to the module support plate 222.

[0059] Of course, the positioning block 23 and the tapered hole can also interchange their respective positions, that is, the positioning block 23 protrudes from the module mounting plate 202, and the tapered hole is opened in the module support plate 222.

[0060] It is understood that in other embodiments, the module mounting plate 202 can be omitted, and the braking control module and the module support plate 222 can be directly fixedly connected by fasteners. In order to limit the relative degree of freedom of movement between the braking control module and the module support plate 222, the braking control module is provided with an adapter hole for the positioning block 23 to extend into. Of course, the positioning block 23 and the adapter hole can also interchange their respective positions, that is, the positioning block 23 protrudes from the braking control module, and the adapter hole is opened in the module support plate 222.

[0061] In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the braking assembly also includes a brake pump, brake lines, and brake wiring harness. The brake lines are connected to the brake pump and are used to guide the flow of brake fluid. The brake wiring harness is connected to the brake control module and the vehicle computer to realize data information interaction between the brake control module and the vehicle computer. The braking assembly mounting structure also includes a pipeline positioning part, which is used to fix the brake lines and / or brake wiring harness to prevent the brake lines and / or brake wiring harness from being scattered and disordered in the vehicle compartment.

[0062] Optionally, in some embodiments, the pipeline positioning part is configured with a holding groove through which the brake line and / or brake harness passes, and the groove wall of the holding groove can be fixedly held to the outer wall of the brake line and / or brake harness; in other embodiments, the pipeline positioning part is used to connect to a pipeline holding bracket, and the outer wall of the brake line and / or brake harness is held by the pipeline holding bracket.

[0063] See Figures 1-5 , Figures 8-9 In some embodiments, the beam connecting plate 31 includes a first longitudinal beam connecting plate 311 and a second longitudinal beam connecting plate 312. The first longitudinal beam connecting plate 311 is connected to the edge of the platform wall 21 that is relatively far away from the top cover 10. The first longitudinal beam connecting plate 311 and the longitudinal beam 301 are fixedly attached to the side opposite to the wheel and are fixedly locked together by fasteners such as bolts and rivets. The second longitudinal beam connecting plate 312 is connected to the other edge of the platform wall 21 that is relatively far away from the top cover 10. The second longitudinal beam connecting plate 312 is used to fixally connect to the part of the longitudinal beam 301 that is relatively close to the front bulkhead, or to connect the longitudinal beam 301 and the front bulkhead at the same time.

[0064] See again Figures 1-5 , Figures 8-9 In some embodiments, the wheel cover plate includes a front wheel cover plate 305 and a wheel cover inner plate 306. The wheel cover connecting plate 32 includes a front wheel cover connecting plate 321 and an inner wheel cover connecting plate 322. The front wheel cover connecting plate 321 is bent and connected to the edge of the platform wall 21 that is relatively away from the top cover 10, and is folded outward in a direction away from the front panel. The front wheel cover connecting plate 321 and the front wheel cover plate 305 are fixedly attached to each other, forming a threaded fixation, riveting fixation or welding fixation between them. The inner wheel cover connecting plate 322 is bent and connected to the other edge of the platform wall 21 that is relatively away from the top cover 10, and is folded outward in a direction away from the wheel. The inner wheel cover connecting plate 322 and the wheel cover inner plate 306 are fixedly attached to each other, forming a threaded fixation, riveting fixation or welding fixation between them.

[0065] Further, see Figures 1-3 The vehicle body also includes a cabin upper beam 304 and a splicing adapter plate. The cabin upper beam 304 is located above the wheels. The vehicle body connection structure 101 also includes an upper beam riveting part 1011 formed by a part of the structure on the pedestal 20. The cabin upper beam 304 and the upper beam riveting part 1011 are fixedly connected by the splicing adapter plate. One side of the splicing adapter plate is welded and fixed to the cabin upper beam 304, and the other end is riveted and fixed to the upper beam riveting part 1011.

[0066] See Figure 3 , Figures 5-6 In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a suspension assembly 203, and the main body also has a suspension mounting portion 33 formed by a portion of the base 30. The suspension assembly 203 is used to fix and support an engine or drive motor, and the suspension mounting portion 33 is used to fix and support the suspension assembly 203. The suspension mounting portion 33 and the suspension assembly 203 can be fixedly locked together by bolts, locking pins, rivets or other fasteners. Preferably, the suspension mounting portion 33 protrudes from the beam connecting plate 31, and the two are integrally formed. The suspension mounting portion 33 may be formed by a protrusion on the base 30.

[0067] With this configuration, the suspension mounting section 33 can serve as one of the mounting bases for the vehicle's engine or drive motor, thereby providing mounting support for the engine or drive motor. Improvements to the main body structure further enhance its compatibility with drivetrain mounting support functions, thus expanding its functional attributes. When the suspension top support 100 is used in a vehicle, the suspension mounting section 33 can replace the existing suspension brackets mounted on the longitudinal beam 301, reducing the number of suspension brackets and saving more cabin space. Fewer suspension brackets further reduce the overall vehicle weight.

[0068] See Figures 1-3 , Figures 5-7In some embodiments, the vehicle body also includes a front windshield crossbeam 303, and the roof portion 10 also has a windshield crossbeam fixing structure 105. The front windshield crossbeam 303 extends along the width direction of the vehicle and serves as the mounting base for the vehicle's front windshield glass. The two ends of the front windshield crossbeam 303 respectively have a side wall connection portion and a roof connection portion. The side wall connection portion is used to connect the two A-pillars on the vehicle body. The roof connection portion and the windshield crossbeam fixing structure 105 are directly fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts and rivets.

[0069] With this configuration, the top suspension support 100 is further compatible with the installation support function of the windshield crossbeam 303. At least part of the weight of the windshield crossbeam 303 and the windshield glass is borne by the top suspension support 100, which further expands the functional attributes of the top suspension support 100.

[0070] See again Figures 1-3 , Figures 5-7 In some embodiments, the vehicle body also includes a cabin anti-torsion beam 302, and the roof portion 10 further has an anti-torsion beam fixing structure 106. The cabin anti-torsion beam 302 extends along the width direction of the vehicle and is used to strengthen the torsional rigidity of the front of the vehicle body and reduce the deformation of the cabin space. The two ends of the cabin anti-torsion beam 302 are respectively connected to the anti-torsion beam fixing structures 106 of the two suspension top support members 100, and the cabin anti-torsion beam 302 and the anti-torsion beam fixing structures 106 are fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts and rivets.

[0071] With this configuration, the top suspension support 100 is further compatible with the installation support function of the cabin anti-torsion beam 302. Compared with the current body structural components used to connect the cabin anti-torsion beam 302, the top cover 10 has higher rigidity and strength and can bear greater loads. Therefore, when the anti-torsion beam fixing structure 106 and the cabin anti-torsion beam 302 are fixedly connected, the cabin anti-torsion beam 302 can more fully exert its ability to resist body deformation.

[0072] Further, see Figures 2-4 , Figure 8 The suspension top support 100 also includes an outer reinforcing rib 25 and an inner reinforcing rib 26. The outer reinforcing rib 25 protrudes from the side of the platform wall 21 opposite to the suspension active cavity 40. The outer reinforcing rib 25 and the platform wall 21 are integrally formed. One end of the outer reinforcing rib 25 starts from the edge of the top cover portion 10 and extends away from the top cover portion 10 until the other end of the outer reinforcing rib 25 extends to the base 30. The inner reinforcing rib 26 includes a plurality of inner wall protrusions arranged in a grid pattern and intersecting each other. The distribution range of the inner reinforcing rib 26 includes the inner side of the top cover portion 10 and the inner side of the platform wall 21. The cavity wall of the suspension active cavity 40 includes the inner side of the top cover portion 10 and the inner side of the platform wall 21.

[0073] With this configuration, the stiffness and strength of the top support 100 of the suspension are further improved. The inner reinforcing rib 26 and the outer reinforcing rib 25 can limit the deformation of the platform wall 21 under tension, compression and torsion, ensuring that the top cover 10 can withstand greater loads from the suspension assembly.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, the first suspension connection 103, the windshield crossbeam fixing structure 105, and the anti-torsion beam fixing structure 106 all have through holes for fasteners to pass through. Multiple inner wall ribs extend outward from the edge of each through hole in each of these structures. This configuration allows the first suspension connection 103, windshield crossbeam fixing structure 105, and anti-torsion beam fixing structure 106 to withstand greater loads, improving the connection reliability of the suspension assembly, the front windshield crossbeam 303, and the cabin anti-torsion beam 302, and reducing the risk of collapse failure of the roof section 10.
