Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to a mounting plate and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicles are typically equipped with shock absorbers. The upper end of the shock absorber is connected to the frame or sheet metal, and the lower end is connected to the suspension control arm or wheel hub bracket. Shock absorbers are used to absorb and buffer impacts from the road surface, reduce vehicle bumps, maintain good contact between the wheels and the ground, and improve driving stability and ride comfort.

[0003] In related technologies, the mounting plate has a simple structure, insufficient coordination with other structures of the vehicle body, and weak load-bearing capacity, making it difficult to provide sufficient strength and rigidity for the installation of shock absorbers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a mounting plate and vehicle with high load-bearing capacity, offering high installation stiffness and strength for the shock absorber.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a mounting plate for mounting a shock absorber of a vehicle. The mounting plate includes a plate body and a mounting structure. The plate body is used to connect a floor assembly and a wheel arch assembly of the vehicle. A connecting structure is provided on the edge region of the plate body, and the connecting structure is connected to at least one of the floor assembly and the wheel arch assembly. The mounting structure is located in the middle region of the plate body, and the edge region is arranged around the middle region. The mounting structure is used to mount the shock absorber.

[0006] The mounting plate provided in this embodiment connects the vehicle's floor assembly and wheel arch assembly. A mounting structure is used to mount shock absorbers. The floor assembly and wheel arch assembly support the plate body, thereby supporting the shock absorbers. The impact force borne by the shock absorbers can be transmitted through the plate body to the floor assembly and wheel arch assembly, improving the installation stiffness and strength of the shock absorbers. Furthermore, the mounting structure is located in the central region of the plate body, while the connecting structure is located in the edge region, surrounding the central region. This means the mounting structure can transmit the impact force transmitted by the shock absorbers from multiple directions to the outer connecting structure, and then to the floor assembly and wheel arch assembly. The stress on the mounting plate is more dispersed, contributing to its load-bearing capacity. Compared to related technologies where mounting plates struggle to provide effective support for shock absorbers, the mounting plate in this embodiment disperses the force transmitted by the shock absorbers to the floor assembly and wheel arch assembly through the edge region, resulting in higher load-bearing capacity and providing higher installation stiffness and strength for the shock absorbers.

[0007] In one possible implementation of this application, the edge region includes a first edge and a second edge that are connected to each other. The first edge and the second edge extend in different directions. The extension dimension of the first edge is greater than that of the second edge. The connecting structure for connecting the floor assembly is disposed on the first edge.

[0008] In one possible implementation of this application, the plate body includes a reinforcing protrusion that protrudes in a direction away from the wheel cover assembly, and a reinforcing cavity is formed between the reinforcing protrusion and the wheel cover assembly; the edge region also includes a third edge, the third edge and the second edge being located at opposite ends of the first edge, and the reinforcing protrusion extending to the second edge and the third edge respectively.

[0009] In one possible implementation of this application, the reinforcing protrusion includes at least two protruding segments, and the extending directions of two adjacent protruding segments have an included angle.

[0010] In one possible implementation of this application, the connection structure includes a recessed platform structure, which is recessed relative to the surface of the mounting structure, and at least a portion of the recessed platform structure is fitted to the corresponding floor assembly and / or wheel cover assembly.

[0011] In one possible implementation of this application, the panel body is provided with connection holes for connecting corresponding floor components and / or wheel cover components, and at least some of the connection holes are provided in the recessed platform structure.

[0012] In one possible implementation of this application, a receiving space is formed between the mounting structure and the wheel cover assembly. The receiving space includes a mounting opening formed in the mounting structure. The receiving space is used to receive a portion of the shock absorber. The mounting structure also includes at least two connecting parts, which are respectively disposed on different sides of the mounting opening. The shock absorber is connected to the mounting plate through the connecting parts.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting plate further includes a reinforcing structure, which is integrally formed with the plate body and protrudes relative to the plate body.

[0014] In one possible implementation of this application, the edge region is further provided with a positioning structure for positioning the panel body relative to the floor assembly and / or wheel cover assembly.

[0015] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including a floor assembly, a wheel arch assembly, a shock absorber, and a mounting plate of any one of the first aspects. The wheel arch assembly is connected to the floor assembly and includes a front wheel arch reinforcement beam and a rear wheel arch reinforcement beam. The plate body of the mounting plate is connected to the floor assembly, the front wheel arch reinforcement beam, and the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam, respectively. The shock absorber is connected to the mounting structure of the mounting plate.

[0016] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment has a shock absorber connected to the floor assembly and wheel arch assembly via a mounting plate. The mounting plate can distribute the force transmitted by the shock absorber to the floor assembly and wheel arch assembly through the edge area, thereby having a high load-bearing capacity and providing the shock absorber with high installation stiffness and strength.

The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0033] This application provides a vehicle, which is a machine driven by fuel, electricity, etc., used to carry people or goods. The vehicle in this application includes, but is not limited to, cars, off-road vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), trucks, etc. For ease of explanation, the following embodiments use cars as examples.

[0034] Vehicles are typically equipped with shock absorbers. The upper end of the shock absorber is connected to the frame or sheet metal, and the lower end is connected to the suspension control arm or wheel hub bracket. Shock absorbers are used to absorb and buffer impacts from the road surface, reduce vehicle bumps, maintain good contact between the wheels and the ground, and improve driving stability and ride comfort.

[0035] In some technical solutions, shock absorbers are usually fixed to the vehicle body by mounting plates. However, due to the simple structure of the mounting plates, their coordination with other structures of the vehicle body is insufficient, resulting in weak load-bearing capacity and difficulty in providing sufficient strength and rigidity for the installation of shock absorbers.

[0036] Therefore, this application embodiment also provides a mounting plate, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting plate includes a plate body 100 and a mounting structure 200. The plate body 100 is used to connect the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600 of the vehicle. The edge region 110 of the plate body 100 is provided with a connecting structure 130, which is connected to at least one of the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600. The mounting structure 200 is provided in the central region 120 of the plate body 100, and the edge region 110 is provided around the central region. The mounting structure 200 is used to mount a shock absorber 700.

[0037] In some examples, the mounting plate is a plate-like structure, the plate body 100 and the mounting structure 200 are integrally formed, the mounting plate and the wheel cover assembly 600 are arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the mounting plate, the mounting plate has a first side facing the wheel cover assembly 600 and a second side away from the wheel cover assembly 600, and a shock absorber 700 is provided on the second side of the mounting plate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connection between the plate body 100 and the wheel cover assembly 600 can be achieved through welding, snap-fitting, bonding, threaded connection, fastener connection, etc. In some examples, the mounting plate and the wheel cover assembly 600 are fixed by a combination of welding and fasteners.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connection between the mounting structure 200 and the vibration damper can be achieved through welding, snap-fitting, bonding, threaded connection, fastener connection, etc. In some examples, the mounting structure 200 and the wheel cover assembly 600 are connected by threads.

[0040] In some examples, different parts of the connecting structure 130 are connected to the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600, respectively; in other examples, the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600 are connected to the same part of the connecting structure 130; for example, the connecting structure 130 is connected to the wheel arch assembly 600 via the floor assembly 500; or, the connecting structure 130 is connected to the floor assembly 500 via the wheel arch assembly 600.

[0041] In some examples, the panel body 100 is provided with multiple connection structures 130, some of which are connected to the floor assembly 500; another part of the connection structures 130 are connected to the wheel cover assembly 600; and the remaining connection structures 130 are connected to both the floor assembly 500 and the wheel cover assembly 600.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, the edge region 110 and the middle region 120 of the plate body 100 are relative. The edge region 110 includes the outer edge of the plate body 100, and the middle region 120 does not include the outer edge of the plate body 100. The edge region 110 is located closer to the outer edge of the plate body 100 than the middle region 120, and the middle region 120 is farther away from the outer edge of the plate body 100 than the edge region 110.

[0043] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the plate body 100 is used to connect the vehicle floor assembly 500 and wheel arch assembly 600, and the mounting structure 200 is used to mount the shock absorber 700. The floor assembly 500 and wheel arch assembly 600 provide support for the plate body 100, and thus provide support for the shock absorber 700. The impact force borne by the shock absorber 700 can be transmitted to the floor assembly 500 and wheel arch assembly 600 through the plate body 100, so as to improve the installation stiffness and strength of the shock absorber 700.

[0044] Based on this, the mounting structure 200 is located in the central region 120 of the plate body 100, and the connecting structure 130 is located in the edge region 110 of the plate body 100. The edge region 110 surrounds the central region 120. That is, the mounting structure 200 can transmit the impact force transmitted by the shock absorber 700 to the outer connecting structure 130 from multiple directions, and then to the floor assembly 500 and the wheel cover assembly 600. The force on the mounting plate is more dispersed, which helps to improve its load-bearing capacity.

[0045] Compared with related technologies, where the mounting plate is difficult to provide effective support for the shock absorber 700, the mounting plate of the present application embodiment can distribute the force transmitted by the shock absorber 700 to the floor assembly 500 and wheel arch assembly 600 through the edge region 110, thereby having a higher load-bearing capacity and providing the shock absorber 700 with higher installation stiffness and strength.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the edge region 110 includes a first edge 111 and a second edge 112 connected to each other. The first edge 111 and the second edge 112 extend in different directions. The extension dimension of the first edge 111 is greater than the extension dimension of the second edge 112. The connection structure 130 connecting the floor assembly 500 is disposed on the first edge 111.

[0047] In this embodiment, the projection along the thickness direction of the mounting plate can include three or more outer edges, meaning the mounting plate can be triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, etc. Each outer edge can extend along a straight line or an arc, and the extension directions of two adjacent outer edges can have a right angle, an obtuse angle, or an acute angle.

[0048] In some examples, the mounting plate has a quadrilateral structure with an approximately right angle between adjacent outer edges. The four outer edges of the mounting plate are designated as first edge 111, second edge 112, third edge 113, and fourth edge 114. First edge 111 and fourth edge 114 extend along a first direction X and are positioned opposite each other along a second direction Z; second edge 112 and third edge 113 extend along the second direction Z and are positioned opposite each other along the second direction Z. The first direction X and the second direction Z form an angle. In some examples, the first direction X represents the length direction of the vehicle, and the second direction Z represents the height direction of the vehicle.

[0049] In this embodiment of the application, the extension dimension is the dimension of the structure along its extension direction. For example, the extension dimension of the first edge 111 can be the dimension of the first edge 111 in the second direction Z; the extension dimension of the second edge 112 can be the dimension of the second edge 112 along the first direction X.

[0050] In some examples, the mounting plate is a rectangular plate-like structure with its length along the vehicle's direction of travel. The connecting structure 130 connecting the floor assembly 500 is located at the first edge 111, which can be the lower edge of the mounting plate, facilitating connection with the floor assembly 500 at the bottom of the vehicle.

[0051] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the first edge 111 and the second edge 112 are set to different sizes. The larger first edge 111 is provided with a connection structure 130 for connecting the floor assembly 500, so that the board body 100 and the floor assembly 500 have a more stable connection. The smaller second edge 112 has a shorter force transmission path, which facilitates the rapid dispersion of the impact force transmitted by the shock absorber 700.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the plate body 100 includes a reinforcing protrusion 150, which protrudes in a direction away from the wheel cover assembly 600, and a reinforcing cavity 300 is formed between the reinforcing protrusion 150 and the wheel cover assembly 600; the edge region 110 also includes a third edge 113, the third edge 113 and the second edge 112 are respectively located at the two ends of the first edge 111, and the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the second edge 112 and the third edge 113 respectively.

[0053] In some examples, the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends along a straight line; in others, it extends along an arc; and in still others, it extends along a broken line.

[0054] In some examples, the reinforcing protrusion 150 protrudes in a direction away from the wheel arch assembly 600, or the reinforcing protrusion 150 protrudes in the width direction of the vehicle, which helps to improve the structural strength of the plate body 100 in that direction.

[0055] In some examples, the reinforcing protrusion 150 is disposed in the central region 120 of the plate body 100, and the end of the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the edge region 110; in other examples, the reinforcing protrusion 150 is disposed in the edge region 110 of the plate body 100 and extends along the extension direction of the corresponding outer edge.

[0056] In some examples, the end of the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the middle of the second edge 112 or the third edge 113; in other examples, the end of the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the end of the second edge 112 or the third edge 113. For example, one end of the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the middle of the second edge 112, and the other end of the reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the third edge 113 near the first edge 111.

[0057] In some examples, the reinforcing cavity 300 is formed by a protrusion of the plate body 100 away from the wheel cover assembly 600; in other examples, the reinforcing cavity 300 is formed by a protrusion of the plate body 100 away from the wheel cover assembly 600 and a protrusion of the wheel cover assembly 600 away from the plate body 100.

[0058] The technical solution of this application embodiment provides a reinforcing protrusion 150 on the plate body 100. The reinforcing protrusion 150 changes the force-bearing structure of the plate body 100 so that the plate body 100 can transmit the received force to the required position along the extension direction of the reinforcing protrusion 150. The reinforcing protrusion 150 protrudes in a direction away from the wheel cover assembly 600 so that a reinforcing cavity 300 is formed between the reinforcing protrusion 150 and the wheel cover assembly 600, reducing the contact between the reinforcing protrusion 150 and the wheel cover assembly 600 so that the reinforcing protrusion 150 can transmit the force along a set path. The reinforcing protrusion 150 extends to the second edge 112 and the third edge 113, which helps the reinforcing protrusion 150 guide the incoming force to the edge, making it easier to disperse the impact force. Moreover, the extension direction of the reinforcing protrusion 150 is similar to the extension direction of the first edge 111, which helps to improve the force transmission capability of the plate body 100 in this direction.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the reinforcing protrusion 150 includes at least two protrusion segments, and the extending directions of two adjacent protrusion segments have an included angle.

[0060] In some examples, the extension directions of two adjacent protrusions form an obtuse angle; in others, they form a right angle; and in still others, they form an acute angle. It is sufficient to reinforce both ends of the protrusion 150 to extend to the second edge 112.

[0061] For example, the reinforcing protrusion 150 includes a first protrusion 151 and a second protrusion 152. The extension direction of the first protrusion 151 is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the fourth edge 114. The first protrusion 151 passes through the mounting structure 200. One end of the first protrusion 151 is disposed on the second edge 112, and the other end of the first protrusion 151 is connected to the second protrusion 152. The extension direction of the second protrusion 152 forms an obtuse angle with the extension direction of the first protrusion 151.

[0062] In some examples, a corner region 153 is provided at the position where the first protrusion 151 and the second protrusion 152 meet. The second protrusion 152 includes a reinforcing ramp 154 ​​connected to the first edge 111. The corner region 153 is used to transition between the middle region 120 and the reinforcing ramp 154. The reinforcing ramp 154 ​​can increase the size of the plate body 100 in the vehicle width direction, thereby improving the structural rigidity.

[0063] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the protrusion 150 is provided with at least two protrusion segments with different extension directions. On the one hand, it helps to guide the force transmitted by the shock absorber 700 to the required position according to the needs. On the other hand, it also facilitates the adaptation of the protrusion 150 to the complex structure of the wheel cover assembly 600, and improves the structural compatibility between the plate body 100 and the wheel cover assembly 600.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the connection structure 130 includes a recessed platform structure, which is recessed relative to the surface of the mounting structure 200, and at least a portion of the recessed platform structure is fitted to the corresponding floor assembly 500 and / or wheel cover assembly 600.

[0065] In some examples, the recessed structure forms adjacent edges of the plate body 100; for example, the recessed structure is located at a corner of the plate body 100, forming two adjacent edges of the plate body 100. For example, a first corner recessed structure 131 forms a portion of a first edge 111 and a portion of a second edge 112; a second corner recessed structure 132 forms a portion of a second edge 112 and a portion of a fourth edge 114; and a third corner recessed structure 133 forms a portion of a first edge 111 and a portion of a third edge 113.

[0066] In some examples, the edge of the plate body 100 is provided with one or more recessed structures. For example, the first edge 111 is provided with a first lower recessed platform 134 and a second lower recessed platform 135, the second lower recessed platform 135 being located between the first lower recessed platform 134 and the third corner recessed platform 133; the fourth edge 114 is provided with a first upper recessed platform 136 and a second upper recessed platform 137, the first upper recessed platform 136 being located between the second corner recessed platform 132 and the first upper recessed platform 136; and the second edge 112 is provided with a side recessed platform 138.

[0067] In this embodiment, the recessed platform structure can be connected to the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel arch assembly 600 by welding, snap-fitting, bonding, threaded connection, fastener connection, etc. For example, the recessed platform structure is welded to at least one of the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600. The welding can be spot welding, continuous welding, seam welding, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0068] In some examples, the wheel arch assembly 600 includes a front reinforcing beam 610 and a rear reinforcing beam 620. A first corner recess 131, a second corner recess 132, a first upper recess 136, and a second lower recess 135 are all connected to the front reinforcing beam 610. A second upper recess 137, a second lower recess 135, and a third corner recess 133 are all connected to the rear reinforcing beam 620.

[0069] The technical solution of this application embodiment, by setting a recessed platform structure, on the one hand, can increase the structural complexity of the mounting plate and improve the structural strength of the mounting plate; on the other hand, the recessed platform structure facilitates contact with the floor assembly 500 and / or wheel cover assembly 600 at the corresponding position, which helps to increase the contact area between the connecting structure 130 and the corresponding floor assembly 500 or wheel cover assembly 600, which helps to transmit force and also helps to improve the connection stability.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the board body 100 is provided with connection holes 140, which are used to connect the corresponding floor assembly 500 and / or wheel cover assembly 600, and at least some of the connection holes 140 are provided in the recessed platform structure.

[0071] In some examples, fasteners such as bolts and screws can be passed through the connection holes 140 to lock the plate body 100 to the wheel cover assembly 600 and / or the floor assembly 500.

[0072] In some examples, the connection hole 140 is provided in the non-sunken area of ​​the plate body 100; in other examples, the connection hole 140 is provided in the sinking structure; and in still other examples, the connection hole 140 is provided in both the sinking structure and the non-sunken area of ​​the plate body 100.

[0073] In some examples, the recessed structure is provided with one or more connection holes 140. Multiple connection holes 140 on the same recessed structure can connect different floor assemblies 500 and wheel arch assemblies 600. The connection holes 140 and the recessed structure together achieve dual connection and fixation through welding and fasteners, thereby improving connection stability.

[0074] In some examples, the first corner countersunk 131 is spot-welded to the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch, and the connecting hole 140 at the first corner countersunk 131 is provided with a waterproof nut, which is fastened and fixed to the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch by fasteners passing through the waterproof nut and the connecting hole 140.

[0075] In some examples, the second corner recess 132 is spot-welded to the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch, and the area between the second corner recess 132 and the first upper recess 136 mates with the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch.

[0076] In some examples, the connection hole 140 of the third corner countersunk 133 is provided with a waterproof nut, which is connected to the rear reinforcing beam 620 of the wheel arch via fasteners.

[0077] In some examples, the first lower recess 134 is connected to the integrally die-cast floor assembly 500 through two connection holes 140 thereon. In the case where a reinforcing plate is provided between the plate body 100 and the wheel cover assembly 600, the first lower recess 134 is also welded and fixed to the reinforcing plate.

[0078] In some examples, the second lower side recess 135 is provided with two connection holes 140, both of which are equipped with waterproof nuts. One connection hole 140 connects the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel cover and the floor assembly 500 through fasteners; the other connection hole 140 connects the rear reinforcing beam 620 of the wheel cover and the floor assembly 500 through fasteners.

[0079] In some examples, the first upper recess 136 is welded to the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch. The profile of the second upper recess 137 is adapted to the profile of the rear reinforcing beam 620 of the wheel arch, and the two are spot-welded together.

[0080] In some examples, the side recess 138 is provided with a connection hole 140, which is used to position it with the wheel arch assembly 600. For example, the connection hole 140 of the side recess 138 is connected to the front reinforcing beam 610 of the wheel arch.

[0081] The technical solution of this application embodiment provides connection holes 140 on the board body 100, which facilitates the connection of the board body 100 to the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel cover assembly 600. At least some of the connection holes 140 are provided in the recessed platform structure. On the one hand, the recessed platform structure and the connection holes 140 cooperate to increase the connection stability through the cooperation of various connection methods.

[0082] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, a receiving space 400 is formed between the mounting structure 200 and the wheel cover assembly 600. The receiving space 400 includes a mounting opening 210 formed in the mounting structure 200. The receiving space 400 is used to receive part of the shock absorber 700. The mounting structure 200 also includes at least two connecting portions 220, which are respectively disposed on different sides of the mounting opening 210. The shock absorber 700 is connected to the mounting plate through the connecting portions 220.

[0083] In some examples, the mounting structure 200 protrudes away from the wheel arch assembly 600, forming a receiving space 400 between them; in other embodiments, the wheel arch assembly 600 protrudes away from the mounting structure 200, forming a receiving space 400 between them; in still other embodiments, the mounting structure 200 and the wheel arch assembly 600 protrude away from each other, respectively.

[0084] In some examples, the connection 220 is a non-removable form such as a welded part or an adhesive part, providing high connection strength; in other examples, the connection 220 is a detachable form such as a snap-fit ​​part, a threaded connection 220, or a fastener connection 220, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. For example, the connection 220 includes a threaded tube.

[0085] In this embodiment, two or more connecting portions 220 may be arranged around the mounting opening 210, and the multiple connecting portions 220 may be arranged at equal intervals. The multiple connecting portions 220 may also be arranged along the relative directions of the first edge 111 and the fourth edge 114; or, the multiple connecting portions 220 may be arranged along the relative directions of the second edge 112 and the third edge 113.

[0086] For example, there are two connecting parts 220, both of which are threaded pipes, and the two connecting parts 220 are arranged along the extension direction of the protruding section 151.

[0087] In some examples, a reinforcing plate is also provided between the mounting plate and the wheel cover assembly 600, for example, a reinforcing cover plate provided corresponding to the connection portion 220; or, for example, an reinforcing plate connected between the mounting plate and the wheel cover assembly 600. The mounting plate, the reinforcing plate, and the wheel cover assembly 600 can form a multi-layer reinforcing structure 160, thereby improving the installation strength and rigidity.

[0088] The technical solution of this application embodiment provides a receiving space 400 between the mounting structure 200 and the wheel cover assembly 600. The receiving space 400 can accommodate part of the shock absorber 700, which facilitates the installation of the shock absorber 700. At least two connecting parts 220 of the mounting structure 200 are provided on different sides of the mounting opening 210, which helps to improve the connection stability between the shock absorber 700 and the mounting plate, and also helps to transmit the force transmitted by the shock absorber 700 to different directions, which facilitates the dispersion of the force.

[0089] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the mounting plate further includes a reinforcing structure 160, which is integrally formed with the plate body 100 and protrudes from the plate body 100.

[0090] In some examples, the reinforcing structure 160 includes a protruding structure that may protrude toward a first side or toward a second side; in other examples, the reinforcing structure 160 includes a reinforcing rib that may extend along a first edge 111 or along a second edge 112.

[0091] For example, a protruding structure is provided between the mounting structure 200 and the first lower recessed platform 134 and the second lower recessed platform 135. The protruding structure protrudes towards the second side, and the cross-sectional profile of the protruding structure is elliptical.

[0092] The technical solution of this application embodiment provides a reinforcing structure 160 on the mounting plate. The reinforcing structure 160 protrudes relative to the plate body 100, which can locally strengthen the plate body 100. The reinforcing structure 160 is integrally formed with the plate body 100, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing. The connection stability between the plate body 100 and the reinforcing structure 160 is also better.

[0093] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the edge region 110 is further provided with a positioning structure 170, which is used to position the panel body 100 relative to the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel cover assembly 600.

[0094] In some examples, the positioning structure 170 mates with the corresponding structure of the mounting fixture; in other examples, the positioning structure 170 mates with the corresponding structure of the wheel cover assembly 600 and / or the floor assembly 500 to achieve positioning of the mounting plate relative to the wheel cover assembly 600 and the floor assembly 500.

[0095] In some examples, the positioning structure 170 includes a positioning hole formed in the plate body 100, which can mate with a corresponding positioning post; in other examples, the positioning structure 170 includes a positioning post, which can mate with a corresponding positioning hole; in still other examples, the positioning structure 170 is a concave structure or a convex structure. It should be noted that multiple positioning structures 170 can adopt the same or different structural forms.

[0096] In some examples, the positioning structure 170 is located in the edge region 110; in other examples, the positioning structure 170 is located in the middle region 120; and in still other examples, the positioning structure 170 is located in both the middle region 120 and the edge region 110.

[0097] For example, both the first edge 111 and the second edge 112 are provided with positioning structures 170. The positioning structure 170 of the first edge 111 is located between the first upper recess 136 and the second upper recess 137, and the positioning structure 170 of the second edge 112 is located between the first lower recess 134 and the second lower recess 135.

[0098] The technical solution of this application embodiment, by setting a positioning structure 170, facilitates the positioning of the plate body 100 relative to the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel cover assembly 600, thereby facilitating the precise assembly of the mounting plate. The positioning structure 170 is set in the edge region 110, that is, near the position where the mounting plate connects to the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel cover assembly 600, so that the positioning structure 170 can cooperate with the corresponding structure of the floor assembly 500 and / or the wheel cover assembly 600.

[0099] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The vehicle in this embodiment includes a floor assembly 500, a wheel arch assembly 600, a shock absorber 700, and a mounting plate according to this embodiment. The wheel arch assembly 600 is connected to the floor assembly 500 and includes a front wheel arch reinforcing beam 610 and a rear wheel arch reinforcing beam 620. The plate body 100 of the mounting plate is connected to the floor assembly 500, the front wheel arch reinforcing beam 610, and the rear wheel arch reinforcing beam 620, respectively. The shock absorber 700 is connected to the mounting structure 200 of the mounting plate.

[0100] In this embodiment, the mounting plate may include materials such as metal and plastic. The mounting plate, floor assembly 500, and wheel arch assembly 600 may be made of the same or different materials. In some examples, the mounting plate is made of steel, while the floor assembly 500 and wheel arch assembly 600 are made of aluminum alloy. The connection between the mounting plate and the floor assembly 500 can form a steel-aluminum connection structure 130, which can improve the support strength of the shock absorber 700 mounting point and also contribute to the weight reduction of the vehicle.

[0101] In some examples, the floor assembly 500 may include an adapter bracket. Along the length of the vehicle, the front end of the mounting plate is connected to the adapter bracket. The first edge 111 of the plate body 100 connects to the floor assembly 500, the front wheel arch reinforcement beam 610, and the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam 620. The second edge 112 and the fourth edge 114 of the mounting plate connect to the front wheel arch reinforcement beam 610, and the third edge 113 and the fourth edge 114 of the mounting plate connect to the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam 620. The central region 120 of the mounting plate connects to the shock absorber 700 and has a mounting opening 210 for avoiding the shock absorber 700. The four sides of the mounting plate connect to the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600 to form a closed section, which has high structural strength.

[0102] In some examples, the mounting plate is positioned along the length of the vehicle, and the front wheel arch reinforcement beam 610 and the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam 620 are positioned along the height of the vehicle. The mounting plate, the front wheel arch reinforcement beam 610, and the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam 620 form an H-shaped reinforcement structure 160, which helps to improve the stiffness and strength of the shock absorber 700 mounting point.

[0103] In some examples, the wheel arch assembly 600 also includes a wheel arch inner plate disposed between the mounting plate and the front wheel arch reinforcement beam 610, and / or, the wheel arch inner plate disposed between the mounting plate and the rear wheel arch reinforcement beam 620, the mounting plate being further connected to the wheel arch inner plate.

[0104] In this embodiment, the mounting plate can be disposed at the front wheel position or the rear wheel position of the vehicle. In some examples, the mounting plate is disposed at the rear wheel position to connect the rear shock absorber 700 at the rear wheel position to the rear wheel arch assembly 600 and the floor assembly 500.

[0105] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the shock absorber 700 is connected to the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600 through a mounting plate. The mounting plate can distribute the force transmitted by the shock absorber 700 to the floor assembly 500 and the wheel arch assembly 600 through the edge area 110, thereby having a high load-bearing capacity and providing the shock absorber 700 with high installation stiffness and strength.
