[0003] On the one hand, when tractors operate in conditions such as field ridges and bumpy roads, the engine is subjected to impact loads from the ground, resulting in a higher failure rate. On the other hand, prolonged high-temperature operation of the engine can cause vibrations that affect the driver's driving experience.

[0004] Therefore, the existing engine mount structure and vehicle have the problem of poor vibration reduction. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an engine mount structure and vehicle with good vibration reduction effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0007] Firstly, this application provides an engine mount structure, including,

[0008] The first damping assembly includes a bushing damper and support arms located on both sides of the bushing damper. The bushing damper is used to connect to the engine flywheel housing.

[0012] The first vibration damping assembly includes a suspension bracket, and the bushing vibration damper is press-fitted into the suspension bracket.

[0013] In some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the first damping assembly further includes a retaining ring and a first hexagonal bolt. The retaining ring is used to engage with a retaining ring groove in the suspension bracket to prevent the bushing damper from coming out. After the first hexagonal bolt passes through the mounting hole of the bushing damper, both ends of the first hexagonal bolt can be installed on the engine flywheel housing.

[0014] In some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the second damping assembly further includes a front suspension bracket and a second hexagonal bolt, wherein the bidirectional damper is mounted in the front suspension bracket via the second hexagonal bolt, and the front suspension bracket is connected to the engine block.

[0027] The technical solutions of this application / the embodiments thereof will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application / the embodiments thereof, and not all embodiments thereof. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application / the application thereof or its application or use.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] This embodiment provides an engine mount structure to solve the problem of poor vibration reduction in the prior art.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The engine mount structure provided in this embodiment includes,

[0031] The first damping assembly 11 includes a bushing damper 1 and support arms 13 located on both sides of the bushing damper 1. The bushing damper 1 is used to connect to the engine flywheel housing 8. A support seat 14 for connecting to the vehicle frame 9 is provided at the end of the support arm 13 away from the bushing damper 1.

[0032] The second damping assembly 12 includes a bidirectional damper 5. The two second damping assemblies 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the engine block 10, and the second damping assembly 12 is spaced a certain distance from the first damping assembly 11.

[0033] Traditional engine mount structures are generally arranged in a four-point configuration, which results in poor engine interaction freedom, poor vibration reduction, high cost, high labor cost, complex assembly, and more complex and difficult NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) tuning.

[0034] The engine mount structure provided in this embodiment forms a three-point support layout through a first damping component 11 and two symmetrically arranged second damping components 12, allowing for a high degree of freedom of engine movement. With the assistance of the second damping components 12, the first damping component 11 effectively buffers ground impact loads, and the support arms 13 located on both sides of the bushing damper 1 ensure that the ground impact loads on the frame 9 are transmitted to the first damping component 11 for damping. With the assistance of the first damping component 11 and in conjunction with the three-point high-degree-of-freedom second damping components 12, the engine's operating vibrations can be effectively buffered, improving driving comfort. Furthermore, the engine mount structure also features low cost, low equipment complexity, and high NVH tuning difficulty. The distance between the first damping component 11 and the second damping component 12 increases the damping torque.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] This embodiment provides an engine mount structure. This embodiment is an optimization based on Embodiment 1 to improve the technical effect and refine the technical solution. For details not described in this embodiment, please refer to Embodiment 1.

[0037] As one embodiment, in the engine mount structure, reference... Figure 2 The shape of the support arm 13 matches the end shape of the engine flywheel housing 8 to reduce space occupation. The installation height of the bushing damper 1 exceeds the installation height of the support seat 14. In this way, even if the engine flywheel housing 8 sways left and right under the impact of the frame 9, it will have a tendency to be centered and stable. The support arm 13 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bushing damper 1 to prevent stress concentration and ensure that the flywheel housing 8 has the characteristic of being centered and stable.

[0038] As one embodiment, refer to 1 and Figure 3The first damping component 11 includes a suspension bracket 2, and a bushing damper 1 is press-fitted into the suspension bracket 2 to ensure that the bushing damper 1 and the suspension bracket 2 transmit force evenly and prevent the frame 9 from coming off or being damaged under high stress.

[0039] As one embodiment, refer to 1 and Figure 3 The first damping assembly 11 also includes a retaining ring 3 and a first hexagonal bolt 4. The retaining ring 3 is used to engage with the retaining ring groove in the suspension bracket 2 to prevent the bushing damper 1 from coming out. After passing through the mounting hole of the bushing damper 1, the two ends of the first hexagonal bolt 4 can be installed on the engine flywheel housing 8. The first hexagonal bolt 4 has the advantage of simple operation. The force transmission path supporting the engine flywheel housing 8 is: frame 9 → suspension bracket 2 → bushing damper 1 → first hexagonal bolt 4 → engine flywheel housing 8.

[0040] Next, we will expand on the design of the second vibration damping component 12.

[0041] As one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second damping assembly 12 also includes a front suspension bracket 7 and a second hexagonal bolt 6. The bidirectional damper 5 is mounted in the front suspension bracket 7 via the second hexagonal bolt 6, and the front suspension bracket 7 is connected to the engine block 10. The bidirectional damper 5 absorbs the vibration of the engine block 10 by being mounted on it, and the second hexagonal bolt 6 facilitates the installation of the bidirectional damper 5. The second damping assembly 12 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the engine block 10, improving the uniformity of vibration damping.

[0042] In one embodiment, the second hexagonal bolt 6 is provided with a flange for connection to the bidirectional damper 5. The flange can be used to assist in the transmission of vibration from the front suspension bracket 7 to the bidirectional damper 5 and reduce hard impacts inside the second damping assembly 12.

[0043] In one embodiment, the bidirectional damper 5 and the bushing damper 1 are not coplanar or orthogonal in use. As mentioned earlier, the first damping component 11 and the second damping component 12 are spaced a certain distance apart, which increases the damping torque and can maximize vibration in all directions.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 The diagram hides other components and only shows the first vibration damping component 11 and the second vibration damping component 12, which makes the layout structure very intuitive.
