Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a control arm, suspension system, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive suspension system is one of the core assemblies of modern automobiles, and its performance directly affects the ride comfort and handling stability of the vehicle. As a key guiding and force-transmitting component in the suspension system, the control arm not only bears the important responsibility of effectively transmitting various forces on the wheels to the vehicle body, but also ensures that the wheels move stably along a preset trajectory. It is one of the core elements for maintaining the function of the suspension system.

[0003] In related technologies, the control arm typically has two spaced-apart clamping ears, with the stabilizer bar link positioned between them, and secured by their clamping action. However, this structure presents a significant design contradiction: if the clamping ears are too thin, their overall strength is insufficient, making them prone to cracking under stress, thus affecting the normal function of the control arm; conversely, if the clamping ear thickness is increased, the objective existence of dimensional deviations such as manufacturing tolerances and installation errors will lead to assembly gaps between the stabilizer bar link and the clamping ears, preventing a tight fit and causing loosening, abnormal noises, and other problems during vehicle operation, thus affecting system stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a control arm, suspension system, and vehicle to solve or improve the design contradiction in related technologies where the control arm uses two clamping ears to clamp and fix the stabilizer bar link.

[0045] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 This describes the control arm, suspension system, and vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, a control arm is provided, including a control arm body 100, the control arm body 100 including a shock-absorbing spring mounting portion 1 and a stabilizer bar connecting rod mounting portion 2. Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1 is disposed on the first side 1001 of the control arm body 100, and the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1 has a receiving cavity 101 for accommodating the shock-absorbing spring 200. It should be noted that the first side 1001 and the second side 1002 are opposite to each other. In this embodiment, the first side 1001 is the upper surface of the control arm body 100, and the second side 1002 is the lower surface of the control arm body 100.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the stabilizer bar connecting rod mounting part 2 is disposed on the second side 1002 of the control arm body 100, and the stabilizer bar connecting rod mounting part 2 is provided with mounting holes 201, specifically, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, mounting hole 201 is a threaded hole. Figure 4 As shown, the mounting hole 201 has a recess 202 on the side facing the stabilizer bar link 300. The stabilizer bar link 300 has a protrusion 3001 that matches the recess 202, and the recess 202 is adapted to be inserted into the protrusion 3001 on the stabilizer bar link 300. Optionally, the stabilizer bar link 300 is connected to a bushing 3002, one end of which has the aforementioned protrusion 3001. During installation, the protrusion 3001 on the bushing 3002 is inserted into the recess 202, and then a bolt 3003 is passed through the bushing 3002 and the stabilizer bar link mounting part 2, and locked with a nut to connect the stabilizer bar link 300 to the stabilizer bar link mounting part 2.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the shock absorber spring mounting part 1 is provided with a clearance hole 102 for the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 to pass through, and the clearance hole 102 is connected to the receiving cavity 101. In this way, the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 passes through the clearance hole 102 and is connected to the stabilizer bar connecting rod mounting part 2. On the one hand, it meets the installation requirements of the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300, and on the other hand, it allows foreign objects such as stones and sand that fall into the receiving cavity 101 to be discharged through the clearance hole 102, avoiding wear of the shock absorber spring 200 by foreign objects.

[0049] With this configuration, the stabilizer bar connecting rod mounting part 2 and the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 can be connected by bolts 3003. The mounting side of the mounting hole 201 has a recessed part 202, which can cooperate with the protrusion 3001 of the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 for fixation, thus forming a one-sided fixing structure. This facilitates the installation of the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 and enables a tight connection. At the same time, the protrusion 3001 of the stabilizer bar connecting rod 300 and the recessed part 202 cooperate with each other, improving the resistance to lateral forces and making the connection more reliable. This effectively avoids the problem of traditional clamping structures struggling to balance structural strength and clamping effect, and reduces the risk of cracking, loosening, and abnormal noise in traditional clamping lugs.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the recess 202 is a conical recess, and correspondingly, the protrusion 3001 on the stabilizer rod 300 is a conical protrusion adapted to the conical recess. It should be noted that the recess 202 and the protrusion 3001 form a conical mating structure, creating an annular surface contact after assembly. This significantly increases the actual contact area, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution under lateral force and avoiding the risk of deformation or sliding caused by localized stress concentration. The conical slope decomposes some of the lateral force into a normal force perpendicular to the contact surface, thereby utilizing the slope's self-locking effect to enhance resistance to lateral sliding. The conical slope has guiding alignment characteristics, enabling automatic correction and reducing lateral force concentration caused by assembly errors, further improving the structure's stability under dynamic loads (such as vibration and impact). The annular surface contact of the conical mating enhances local stiffness, preventing loosening of the fit due to localized deformation.

[0051] This design, with its combination of conical recesses and protrusions, significantly enhances resistance to lateral forces through the synergistic effects of annular surface contact, normal force decomposition, geometric alignment, and increased stiffness. At the same time, it reduces the impact of assembly errors through structural adaptability, achieving a more reliable and stable mechanical connection.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall 1011 of the accommodating cavity 101 has an opening 103. With this configuration, the side wall of the shock absorber spring mounting part 1 has a notch, forming an open area, changing from a traditional fully enclosed structure to a semi-enclosed structure. This facilitates the discharge of foreign objects such as sand and gravel, avoiding the problem of sand and gravel falling in and being unable to be discharged during use, thus preventing wear on the shock absorber spring 200. In addition, it also facilitates the discharge of liquids, preventing rust on the shock absorber spring 200, thereby extending the service life of the shock absorber spring 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall 1012 of the accommodating cavity 101 is provided with drainage holes 104. Optionally, there are at least two drainage holes 104, the number of which can be determined according to actual design requirements, to provide redundancy and prevent clogging. Multiple drainage holes 104 are distributed in different positions, which can cover liquid in different areas of the accommodating cavity 101 and prevent local water accumulation. In this way, liquid accumulated in the accommodating cavity 101 can be drained in a timely manner through the drainage holes 104, reducing the risk of corrosion.

[0054] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 109, which is located on the second side 1002 of the control arm body 100, and the reinforcing rib 109 is positioned opposite the opening 103. It should be noted that since the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1 has an opening 103, this area is prone to becoming a structural weak point. Therefore, by providing the reinforcing rib 109, the structural strength of this weak area can be effectively enhanced, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the addition of the reinforcing rib 109 structure based on the weak point allows for an appropriate reduction in the thickness of the bottom wall 1012 of the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1, reducing the weight of the control arm while meeting structural performance requirements.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a positioning protrusion 105 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall 1012 of the accommodating cavity 101. The positioning protrusion 105 is a conical boss, and a through hole 106 is provided in the middle of the positioning protrusion 105. With this configuration, the positioning protrusion 105 can play a positioning and guiding role for the shock-absorbing spring 200, improving assembly efficiency. In addition, the through hole 106 in the center of the positioning protrusion 105 can also reduce weight, which is conducive to achieving lightweight design.

[0056] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 1012 of the accommodating cavity 101 is further provided with a limiting step 107 and / or a limiting hole 108, wherein the limiting step 107 is disposed at the edge of the bottom wall 1012 of the accommodating cavity 101, and the limiting hole 108 is disposed at the middle of the bottom wall 1012 of the accommodating cavity 101. It should be noted that the shock-absorbing spring 200 generally includes an air spring and a coil spring. For example... Figure 9 As shown, when the air spring is installed in the receiving cavity 101, the center hole at the bottom of the air spring is aligned with the positioning protrusion 105 for center positioning, and the stepped structure at the bottom of the air spring abuts against the limiting step 107 for circumferential positioning, preventing unnecessary rotation of the air spring, thereby ensuring reliable installation of the air spring. Figure 8 As shown, when the coil spring is installed in the accommodating cavity 101, the center hole of the bottom mounting base of the coil spring is aligned with the positioning protrusion 105 for center positioning, and the protrusion on the bottom mounting base of the coil spring is inserted into the limiting hole 108 for circumferential positioning, preventing unnecessary rotation of the coil spring and thus improving the stability of the coil spring installation. In this way, the positioning and installation requirements of different shock-absorbing springs 200 can be fully met, improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, the control arm body 100 further includes a first connecting arm 3 and a second connecting arm 4, such as... Figure 2As shown, the first connecting arm 3 and the second connecting arm 4 are disposed at the first end 1003 of the control arm body 100, and the first connecting arm 3 and the second connecting arm 4 are used to connect the subframe 400. Specifically, the first connecting arm 3 and the second connecting arm 4 have an annular sleeve structure, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bushing can be press-fitted into the annular sleeve and then connected to the subframe 400 by bolts.

[0058] In some embodiments, the control arm body 100 further includes a third connecting arm 5 and a fourth connecting arm 6, such as Figure 2 As shown, the third connecting arm 5 and the fourth connecting arm 6 are disposed at the second end 1004 of the control arm body 100. The third connecting arm 5 and the fourth connecting arm 6 are used to connect the steering knuckle 500, and the third connecting arm 5 and / or the fourth connecting arm 6 have a fork-shaped structure. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the third connecting arm 5 is bolted to the steering knuckle link 5001 on the steering knuckle 500, and the fourth connecting arm 6 is bolted to the ball joint bushing on the steering knuckle 500. In this way, the control arm forms an H-shaped integral structure, integrating the front and rear mounting points of the subframe 400 and the steering knuckle 500. While ensuring the structural strength of the control arm, compared with the multi-link structure of traditional suspension systems, this control arm is lighter and occupies less space, which is beneficial for optimizing the layout of the vehicle chassis.

[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control arm body 100 also includes a height sensor mounting part 7, which is disposed between the second connecting arm 4 and the shock-absorbing spring mounting part 1, and is located on the side 1005 of the control arm body 100. Specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, the height sensor mounting part 7 includes a first fixing hole 701, a first limiting part 702, a second fixing hole 703, and a second limiting part 704. Optionally, the first fixing hole 701 and the first limiting part 702 form a positioning mounting configuration for the height sensor 600, wherein both the first fixing hole 701 and the first limiting part 702 are threaded holes. The first fixing hole 701 is used to fix the height sensor 600, and the first limiting part 702 is used to limit the height sensor 600 to prevent it from swinging. The second fixing hole 703 and the second limiting part 704 form another positioning mounting configuration for the height sensor 600, wherein the second fixing hole 703 is a threaded hole used to fix the height sensor 600, and the second limiting part 704 is a limiting stop. The height sensor 600 abuts against the limiting stop to limit its position, thereby preventing it from swinging. In this way, users can choose a suitable mounting configuration according to their needs, making the use more flexible and convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control arm body 100 also includes a sensor harness fixing part 8, which is disposed between the first connecting arm 3 and the third connecting arm 5, and is located on the first side 1001 of the control arm body 100. Specifically, as... Figure 7 As shown, the suspension system also includes wheel speed sensors. The wheel speed sensors are equipped with wiring harness fixing brackets 700. The wiring harness fixing brackets 700 and the sensor wiring harness fixing parts 8 can be connected by bolts, thereby fixing the wheel speed sensor wiring harness and effectively resisting pulling, swaying, or loosening of the wiring harness caused by vibration, preventing sensor signal interruption due to poor wiring harness contact. With this design, the control arm further integrates the height sensor 600 fixing point and the wheel speed sensor wiring harness fixing point, thus achieving a high degree of integration of the control arm. Multiple mounting parts connect the control arm to components such as the shock absorber spring 200, stabilizer bar link 300, subframe 400, steering knuckle 500, height sensor 600, and wheel speed sensor, forming part of the suspension system. This significantly reduces the number of sub-components, making the structure more compact, which is beneficial for optimizing the layout of the vehicle chassis space, reducing parts processing steps, and lowering carbon emissions in parts manufacturing.

[0061] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control arm body 100 has a hollow structure 9 inside. Specifically, the control arm body 100 can be processed from aluminum profiles, etc., such as using a hollow cast aluminum integrated design. It should be noted that by forming a large-area hollow cavity inside, the control arm body 100 can effectively improve the stiffness, modal characteristics, strength, and durability of the control arm, improve the reliability of the parts, and increase the load-bearing cross-sectional area of ​​the control arm while meeting the requirements of lightweight design. This allows the control arm to bear the lateral (Y-direction) force of the entire vehicle, as well as the force in the vehicle's driving or braking direction (X-direction), resulting in good torsional resistance and good drivability and stability. In addition, the wall thickness of the hollow structure 9 can be adjusted according to actual design requirements. For example, the wall thickness can be increased near the shock absorber spring mounting part 1 and various connecting arms to improve the structural strength at the connection points.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, a weight-reduction groove 10 is provided on the second side 1002 of the control arm body 100. That is, the weight-reduction groove 10 is arranged on the lower surface of the control arm body 100. Multiple weight-reduction grooves 10 can be designed, for example, they can be set at the mounting positions such as the lower surface of the connecting arm or the lower surface of the shock absorber spring mounting part 1. With this arrangement, the weight-reduction groove 10 significantly reduces the overall weight of the control arm by removing local non-critical materials, thereby reducing the overall vehicle weight, reducing fuel consumption, or increasing the driving range of electric vehicles.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 as well as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, both the first side 1001 and the second side 1002 of the control arm body 100 are provided with a mesh pattern 11. That is, a mesh structure is arranged on both the upper and lower surfaces of the control arm body 100. It should be noted that during the casting process of the control arm, the mesh structure can play a role in venting, reducing defects caused by air entrapment, and can also guide the flow of the casting liquid, such as molten aluminum, improving the fluidity of the casting liquid.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, a suspension system is also provided, including a control arm as described in the various embodiments above. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is largely similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effect of the control arm described above, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a third aspect, a vehicle is also provided, including the suspension system as described in the above embodiments. Optionally, the vehicle is a vehicle, a low-altitude aircraft, etc. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is roughly similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effect of the suspension system described above, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0066] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
