Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a suspension bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, suspension brackets connect the vehicle frame and the powertrain. Suspension brackets can provide support between the vehicle frame and the powertrain, reducing vibration and displacement between the two, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle frame and the powertrain.

[0003] In related technologies, during vehicle operation, the suspension bracket bears the vibrations transmitted from the ground to the chassis, as well as the vibrations generated by the engine. In order to ensure the strength and durability of the suspension bracket, the weight and volume of the suspension bracket are increased. However, this increases the overall vehicle weight and cost, which is not conducive to lightweight design and cost reduction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension bracket that forms a weight-reducing groove, which not only ensures the strength and durability of the suspension bracket but also achieves lightweighting and cost reduction.

[0005] This utility model further proposes a vehicle.

[0006] The suspension bracket according to this utility model includes: a frame mounting plate, a powertrain mounting plate, a connecting plate, and a flange. The connecting plate is connected between the frame mounting plate and the powertrain mounting plate. The flange is disposed on the frame mounting plate, the powertrain mounting plate, and the connecting plate. The flange extends from one edge of the powertrain mounting plate, past the edge of the connecting plate and the edge of the frame mounting plate, to the other edge of the powertrain mounting plate, so as to form a weight-reducing groove together with the frame mounting plate, the connecting plate, and the powertrain mounting plate.

[0007] According to the suspension bracket of this utility model, by setting flanges on the edges of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate, and having the flanges on the edges of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate extend sequentially, a weight-reducing groove can be formed between the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, connecting plate, and flanges. That is, the contact area between the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate and the frame and powertrain is reduced. While ensuring the strength and durability of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate, the weight of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate is reduced, thereby achieving lightweight design and reducing costs.

[0008] In some examples of this utility model, the flange includes: a first folding section, a second folding section, and a third folding section. The first folding section is flat and extends from one edge of the powertrain mounting plate to the edge of the connecting plate. The second folding section is bent and extends along the edge of the frame mounting plate. One end of the second folding section is connected to the first folding section. The third folding section is flat and extends along the other edge of the powertrain mounting plate. The third folding section is connected to the other end of the second folding section.

[0009] In some examples of this invention, the height of the first folding segment increases in the direction away from the edge of the powertrain mounting plate; and / or the height of the second folding segment is the same at all points; and / or the height of the third folding segment is the same at all points.

[0010] In some examples of this utility model, the frame mounting plate includes: a main board and a protrusion, the connecting plate is connected to one side of the main board in the width direction, and the protrusion is connected to the same side of the main board in the width direction and located at one end of the main board in the length direction.

[0011] In some examples of this utility model, the frame mounting plate is provided with a plurality of frame mounting parts, which are respectively located on the other side of the main board in the width direction and on the protrusion.

[0012] In some examples of this utility model, the protrusion has a recessed platform on the side near the connecting plate, the recessed platform is connected to the connecting plate, and one of the plurality of frame mounting parts is disposed on the recessed platform.

[0013] In some examples of this utility model, one end of the motherboard on the other side in the width direction is formed with an avoidance notch.

[0014] In some examples of this utility model, in the length direction of the motherboard, the size of the motherboard is larger than the size of the connecting plate, and the size of the connecting plate is larger than the size of the powertrain mounting plate.

[0015] In some examples of this utility model, the included angle between the frame mounting plate and the connecting plate is an obtuse angle, the included angle between the connecting plate and the powertrain mounting plate is an obtuse angle, and / or the suspension bracket is an integrally formed metal part.

[0016] The vehicle according to this utility model includes: the suspension bracket described above.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model adopts a method of setting flanges on the edges of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate, and the flanges on the edges of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate extend sequentially. This allows a weight-reducing groove to be formed between the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, connecting plate, and flanges, thereby reducing the contact area between the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate and the frame and powertrain. While ensuring the strength and durability of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate, the weight of the frame mounting plate, powertrain mounting plate, and connecting plate is reduced, thus achieving lightweight design and cost reduction.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The present invention describes a suspension bracket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used in a vehicle.

[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, the suspension bracket 100 according to this utility model includes: a frame mounting plate 10, a powertrain mounting plate 20, a connecting plate 30, and a flange 40. The connecting plate 30 is connected between the frame mounting plate 10 and the powertrain mounting plate 20. The flange 40 is disposed on the frame mounting plate 10, the powertrain mounting plate 20, and the connecting plate 30. The flange 40 extends from one edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20, passes through the edge of the connecting plate 30 and the edge of the frame mounting plate 10, and extends to the other edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20, so as to form a weight reduction groove 50 together with the frame mounting plate 10, the connecting plate 30, and the powertrain mounting plate 20.

[0024] Understandably, the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, connecting plate 30, and flange 40 constitute the main structure of the suspension bracket 100. The frame mounting plate 10 can be connected to the frame, thus allowing the suspension bracket 100 to be connected to the frame. The powertrain mounting plate 20 can be connected to the powertrain, thus allowing the suspension bracket 100 to be connected to the powertrain. The connecting plate 30 is located between the frame mounting plate 10 and the powertrain mounting plate 20. It not only serves as a transition between the frame mounting plate 10 and the powertrain mounting plate 20, but also allows adjustment of the relative angle between the frame mounting plate 10 and the powertrain mounting plate 20 according to actual conditions. This allows the suspension bracket 100 to act as a bridge between the frame and the powertrain, as well as reduce vibration transmission between the powertrain and the frame, thereby improving vehicle comfort and handling performance, and protecting other components from vibration damage.

[0025] For example, the powertrain consists of one or more of the engine, motor, and transmission. The suspension bracket 100 can effectively isolate the high-frequency vibrations generated when the engine is running, preventing the vibrations from being transmitted to the chassis, thereby improving the comfort of the passengers. The suspension bracket 100 can fix the powertrain to the chassis, ensuring that the powertrain maintains the correct position under different operating conditions, thus preventing the powertrain from shifting due to vehicle movement. When the vehicle encounters bumps or rapid acceleration and deceleration during movement, the suspension bracket 100 can absorb the impact force, thereby protecting the powertrain from damage and improving the vehicle's handling performance.

[0026] The frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 are all provided with flanges 40 on one side. One end of the flange 40 extends from an edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20, passes through the connecting plate 30 and the frame mounting plate 10, and then connects to this end. Alternatively, one end of the flange 40 extends from an edge of the frame mounting plate 10, passes through the connecting plate 30 and the powertrain mounting plate 20, and then connects to this end. This allows a groove to be formed between the frame mounting plate 10, the powertrain mounting plate 20, and the connecting plate 30, with the flange 40 forming the edge of the groove. The groove is a weight-reducing groove 50, which reduces the contact area between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame, as well as the contact area between the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the powertrain. This not only ensures the strength and durability of the suspension bracket 100 but also reduces its weight, thereby achieving lightweight design and cost reduction.

[0027] For example, the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 are all plates of the same thickness. The middle of each of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 is hollowed out, and the hollowed-out portions of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 are connected. The edges where the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 connect are not hollowed out, forming a flange 40. This allows the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 to form a weight-reducing groove 50. After the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame come into contact, and after the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the powertrain come into contact, the contact area between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame, and between the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the powertrain, can be reduced. This reduces the weight of the suspension bracket 100, thereby achieving lightweight design and reducing costs.

[0028] Therefore, by providing flanges 40 on the edges of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30, and by having the flanges 40 on the edges of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 extend sequentially, a weight-reducing groove 50 can be formed between the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, connecting plate 30, and flanges 40. This reduces the contact area between the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 and the frame and powertrain, thereby reducing the weight of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 while ensuring their strength and durability. This achieves lightweight design and reduces costs.

[0029] Among them, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the flange 40 includes a first folding section 41, a second folding section 42, and a third folding section 43. The first folding section 41 is flat and extends from one edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20 to the edge of the connecting plate 30. The second folding section 42 is bent and extends along the edge of the frame mounting plate 10. One end of the second folding section 42 is connected to the first folding section 41. The third folding section 43 is flat and extends along the other edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20. The third folding section 43 is connected to the other end of the second folding section 42.

[0030] It is understandable that the first folding segment 41, the second folding segment 42, and the third folding segment 43 constitute the main body of the flange 40. The first folding segment 41 is located on one side of the powertrain mounting plate 20, the third folding segment 43 is located on the other side of the powertrain mounting plate 20, and the second folding segment 42 is located on one side of the frame mounting plate 10. Furthermore, the first folding segment 41, the second folding segment 42, and the third folding segment 43 are connected sequentially, allowing them to protrude from one side of the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the frame mounting plate 10, thereby... The frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and flange 40 can form a weight-reducing groove 50. When the suspension bracket 100 is set between the powertrain and the frame, the first folding section 41 and the third folding section 43 abut against the powertrain, and the second folding section 42 abuts against the frame. This can reduce the contact area between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame, as well as the contact area between the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the powertrain. This can ensure the strength and durability of the suspension bracket 100, and also reduce the weight of the suspension bracket 100, thereby achieving lightweight design and reducing costs.

[0031] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the height of the first folding section 41 increases in the direction away from the edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20, the height of the second folding section 42 is the same at all points, and the height of the third folding section 43 is the same at all points.

[0032] In other words, the powertrain mounting plate 20 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the frame mounting plate 10. The first folding section 41 is located on one side edge of the powertrain mounting plate 20, close to the side of the frame mounting plate 10. The first folding section 41 can fill the space on one side of the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the frame mounting plate 10. The second folding section 42 and the third folding section 43 are of the same height. This makes it easy for the powertrain mounting plate 20 to fit with the powertrain through the first folding section 41 and the third folding section 43, and for the frame mounting plate 10 to fit with the frame through the second folding section 42. This can prevent gaps from forming between the suspension bracket 100, the frame and the powertrain, thereby reducing the vibration transmission between the powertrain and the frame.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame mounting plate 10 includes a main plate 11 and a protrusion 12. A connecting plate 30 is connected to one side of the main plate 11 in the width direction, and the protrusion 12 is connected to one side of the main plate 11 in the width direction and located at one end of the main plate 11 in the length direction.

[0034] Understandably, the main board 11 and the protrusion 12 constitute the main structure of the frame mounting plate 10. The connecting plate 30 is connected to the width side of the main board 11, which ensures the connection stability between the connecting plate 30 and the main board 11. The protrusion 12 is connected to the width side of the main board 11, which also ensures the connection stability between the protrusion 12 and the main board 11. Moreover, the protrusion 12 is located at one end of the length direction of the main board 11, which allows the protrusion 12 and the connecting plate 30 to be spaced apart in the length direction of the main board 11. This facilitates the connection of the connecting plate 30 to the powertrain mounting plate 20, maintains the consistency of the powertrain mounting plate 20, the connecting plate 30, and the powertrain mounting plate 20, and thus ensures the strength and durability of the suspension bracket 100.

[0035] In addition, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the frame mounting plate 10 is provided with a plurality of frame mounting parts 13, which are respectively located on the other side of the main plate 11 in the width direction and on the protrusion 12.

[0036] In other words, the frame mounting plate 10 should be provided with multiple frame mounting parts 13. Some of the frame mounting plates 10 are located on the main plate 11, and other frame mounting parts 13 are located on the protrusion 12. Moreover, the multiple frame mounting parts 13 are located at one end of the width direction of the main plate 11, and the multiple frame mounting parts 13 and the connecting plate 30 are spaced apart in the length direction of the main plate 11. This can ensure the connection between the connecting plate 30 and the main plate 11, and can also ensure that the multiple frame mounting parts 13 are connected to the frame through fasteners. This can ensure the connection stability between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame, and thus prevent the formation of gaps and noise between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame.

[0037] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a recessed platform 14 is formed on the side of the protrusion 12 near the connecting plate 30. The recessed platform 14 is connected to the connecting plate 30, and one of the multiple frame mounting parts 13 is disposed on the recessed platform 14.

[0038] Understandably, a recessed platform 14 is provided on the protrusion 12. The recessed platform 14 is located close to the connecting plate 30, so as not to affect the connection between the connecting plate 30 and the frame mounting plate 10. A frame mounting part 13 is provided on the recessed platform 14, which not only facilitates the connection of the frame mounting part 13 to the frame through fasteners, but also allows the recessed platform 14 to fill the gap between the protrusion 12 and the frame. This allows the suspension bracket 100 to fit snugly with the frame, which can reduce the vibration transmission between the powertrain and the frame, thereby improving the vehicle's comfort and handling performance, as well as protecting other components from vibration damage.

[0039] In particular, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clearance notch 15 is formed at one end of the other side of the main board 11 in the width direction. When the frame mounting plate 10 is installed on the frame and the powertrain mounting plate 20 is installed on the powertrain, the clearance notch 15 can avoid other components, so that the suspension bracket 100 does not affect the arrangement of other components, thereby optimizing the layout of vehicle components.

[0040] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in the length direction of the main board 11, the size of the main board 11 is larger than the size of the connecting plate 30, and the size of the connecting plate 30 is larger than the size of the powertrain mounting plate 20.

[0041] In other words, the connecting plate 30 is connected to one side of the main board 11 in the width direction, and the connecting plate 30 is located at one end of the main board 11 in the length direction. This can ensure the connection strength between the connecting plate 30 and the main board 11, and also save the material used for the connecting plate 30. The powertrain mounting plate 20 is connected to the other side of the connecting plate 30. This allows the connecting plate 30 to connect the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the frame mounting plate 10. Moreover, the size of the powertrain mounting plate 20 is smaller than the size of the connecting plate 30, which can ensure the connection strength between the powertrain mounting plate 20, the connecting plate 30 and the frame mounting plate 10, and also save the material of the suspension bracket, thereby achieving a lightweight design.

[0042] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the angle between the frame mounting plate 10 and the connecting plate 30 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the connecting plate 30 and the powertrain mounting plate 20 is also an obtuse angle. This allows the cross-sections of the powertrain mounting plate 20, the connecting plate 30, and the frame mounting plate 10 to form an "L" shape, facilitating the fit between the powertrain mounting plate 20 and the powertrain, as well as the fit between the frame mounting plate 10 and the frame. This avoids gaps between the suspension bracket 100 and the powertrain and the frame, thereby reducing vibration transmission between the powertrain and the frame, improving vehicle comfort and handling performance, and protecting other components from vibration damage.

[0043] In particular, the suspension bracket 100 is a one-piece molded metal part, which can improve the structural strength and durability of the suspension bracket 100, increase the reliability of the suspension bracket 100, and reduce the production time and cost of the suspension bracket 100. The weight reduction groove 50 formed in the suspension bracket 100 can also realize the lightweight design of the suspension bracket 100.

[0044] The vehicle according to this utility model includes: the suspension bracket 100 of the above embodiments. By providing flanges 40 on the edges of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30, and by having the flanges 40 on the edges of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 extend sequentially, a weight-reducing groove 50 can be formed between the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, connecting plate 30, and flanges 40. This reduces the contact area between the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 and the frame and powertrain, thereby reducing the weight of the frame mounting plate 10, powertrain mounting plate 20, and connecting plate 30 while ensuring their strength and durability. This achieves lightweight design and reduces costs.
