Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a support arm structure. Background Technology
[0002] The support arm is usually located at the bottom of the vehicle body and is used to connect the frame and drive shaft.
[0003] Because the support arms are in a combined bending and torsional motion state, the left and right support arms are prone to change under stress, causing irregular movement of the axle. Furthermore, the torsional motion of the left and right support arms will affect the stress state of the bolts, reduce the reliability of the connection between the support arms and the axle, and pose a significant safety hazard.
[0004] like Figure 1 The image shows the support arm structure of a conventional tricycle. The support arm is generally made of rectangular square tubes. Since the rectangular square tubes are extruded, their wall thickness is limited and cannot meet the requirements of the vehicle. The support arms currently produced have grooved support plates welded to the sides to increase their strength. This structure is complex, occupies a lot of space and is bulky. It is difficult to process and manufacture, the strength distribution of the support arm is uneven, the reliability is low, and it is inconvenient to install and maintain. The cost is also high, and further improvements are needed.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for engineers and technicians in this field to develop a support structure that is simple in structure, easy to process and manufacture, has uniform strength distribution, occupies little space, is easy to install and maintain, has low cost and long service life.
[0006] This utility model further optimizes and improves the existing support arm structure and adopts sheet metal welding technology to optimize the spatial layout, thereby greatly improving its structural strength and fully meeting vehicle requirements. Utility Model Content
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a support arm structure that is simple in structure, easy to process and manufacture, has uniform strength distribution, occupies little space, is easy to install and maintain, has low cost and long service life.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0009] A support arm structure includes: a support arm body, a liner, a bearing seat, and a lifting lug. The support arm body is vertically disposed on the lower part of a vehicle frame. The support arm body includes a main support arm, a support plate, and an end plate. The main support arm is a U-shaped channel structure. The support plate and the end plate are embedded in the main support arm. A reinforcing part is embedded in the back of the main support arm. The support plate and the end plate are constructed as an irregularly shaped tubular body with one end closed. The support plate and the end plate are welded and fixed to the main support arm. The liner and the bearing seat are respectively disposed at both ends of the support arm body. The central axis of the liner and the bearing seat coincides with the central plane of the support arm body. The liner penetrates the support arm body and extends to both sides. The lifting lug is disposed adjacent to the bearing seat on the outer side of the main support arm.
[0010] In the above structure, the reinforcing part is a groove embedded in the main support arm. The groove is arranged along the length direction of the main support arm, and the center plane of the groove coincides with the center plane of the main support arm. A first arc surface and a second arc surface are embedded on both sides of the front of the main support arm. The first arc surface and the second arc surface are symmetrically arranged between the liner and the bearing seat.
[0011] In the above structure, the main support arm includes a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end are respectively provided with a first round hole and a second round hole for installing the liner and the bearing seat. The first round hole and the second round hole are provided through the main support arm and the support plate. The first round hole and the second round hole are respectively matched with the liner and the bearing seat. The liner and the bearing seat are respectively welded to the main support arm and the support plate as a whole.
[0012] In the above structure, the top surfaces of the first end and the second end are flat, and the top surfaces of the first end and the second end are smoothly connected to the first arc surface and the second arc surface.
[0013] In the above structure, the end plate is vertically disposed inside the second end, and the main support arm and the support plate are respectively welded to the end plate circumferentially.
[0014] In the above structure, the support plate is embedded in the upper inner side of the main support arm, the support plate matches the main support arm, and the support plate is welded to the main support arm along both sides.
[0015] In the above structure, there are two support arm bodies, which are symmetrically arranged on the lower part of the vehicle frame.
[0016] In the above structure, the main support arm, support plate, and end plate are all made of Q235 carbon structural steel.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This utility model employs sheet metal forming and welding processes to press the support arm from a sheet metal body into a groove, and then welds the support plate and end plate together. This significantly improves the structural strength of the support arm body, improves the stress state of the connection between the axle spanning the left and right support arms and the connecting parts between the left and right support arms, enhances the reliability of the connection between the support arm and the axle, and ensures the safety of the axle system. Simultaneously, the optimized structure improves the bending moment distribution borne by the support arm, thereby reducing the weight of the support arm, saving material costs, reducing vehicle fuel consumption, and reducing the unsprung mass of the vehicle, improving the vehicle's ride comfort. This greatly enhances the safety and reliability of the entire vehicle. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, has uniform strength distribution, occupies little space, has low cost, and a long service life. Attached Figure Description
