Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] For vehicles, the structural strength, vibration characteristics, and service life of the front bumper assembly have a significant impact on vehicle safety.

[0003] A type of heavy-duty truck integrates the headlights, related headlight frames, and electrical wiring harnesses into the front bumper assembly, which is rigidly connected to the vehicle frame, thus improving the vehicle's overall integration. This type of headlight assembly is positioned far from the frame, resulting in a cantilevered structure between the headlight assembly and the portion of the front bumper assembly containing it relative to the frame. Furthermore, the headlight assembly is generally quite heavy, with some reaching up to 6.15 kg.

[0004] During vehicle operation, especially on uneven roads, the road load borne by the vehicle is transmitted to the front bumper assembly through the frame. The front bumper assembly amplifies the load, and the amplified vibration load is then transmitted to the headlight assembly. The headlight assembly, located at the end of the cantilever structure, amplifies the vibration load again, causing the headlight assembly to vibrate violently. This, in turn, makes the front bumper assembly, which is connected to the headlight assembly and the frame, prone to fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a vehicle designed to reduce the risk of fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the vehicle proposed in this utility model includes:

[0007] Frame;

[0008] Suspension assembly, located on the vehicle frame;

[0009] The front bumper assembly is located at the front end of the vehicle frame;

[0010] The headlight assembly is located in the aforementioned front bumper assembly; and

[0011] The transition bracket connects the suspension assembly and the headlight assembly, so that the vehicle frame, the suspension assembly, the front bumper assembly, the headlight assembly, and the transition bracket together form a frame structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the suspension assembly includes a suspension bracket, one end of which is fixed to the vehicle frame, the suspension bracket has a first connecting portion, and the end of the transition bracket away from the headlight assembly is connected to the first connecting portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the headlight assembly includes:

[0014] A headlight frame, connected to the front bumper assembly, the headlight frame having a notch for accommodating the headlight; and

[0015] A headlight bracket is disposed on the headlight frame and connected to both sides of the notch, and the end of the transition bracket away from the first connecting part is connected to the headlight bracket.

[0016] In one embodiment, the two ends of the headlight bracket are connected to the two sides of the notch, a second connecting portion is provided between the two ends of the headlight bracket, and the end of the transition bracket away from the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion.

[0017] In one embodiment, the front bumper assembly includes a front bumper bracket connected to the headlight frame. The front bumper bracket has a third connecting portion connected to the front end of the vehicle frame, such that the vehicle frame, the suspension bracket, the front bumper bracket, the headlight frame, the headlight bracket, and the transition bracket together form the frame structure.

[0018] In one embodiment, the width of the transition bracket increases from one end near the headlight assembly to the other end near the suspension assembly.

[0019] In one embodiment, the transition support includes:

[0020] First side panel;

[0021] The second side plate is disposed opposite to the first side plate; and

[0022] A support plate connects the first side plate and the second side plate;

[0023] Wherein, one end of the first side plate and one end of the second side plate clamp the two sides of the first connecting part and are respectively connected to the first connecting part.

[0024] In one embodiment, the first side plate has three first mounting points, and the first side plate is connected to the first connecting part through the three first mounting points, the three first mounting points forming the three vertices of a virtual triangle; and / or,

[0025] The second side plate has three second mounting points, and the second side plate is connected to the first connecting part through the three second mounting points. The three second mounting points form the three vertices of a virtual triangle.

[0026] In one embodiment, the transition bracket further includes a sleeve portion, wherein the other end of the first side plate away from the first connecting portion and the other end of the second side plate away from the first connecting portion are both connected to the sleeve portion, and the sleeve portion is connected to the headlight assembly.

[0027] In one embodiment, the transition bracket further includes a first reinforcing plate, which is fitted onto the side of the first side plate facing the first connecting portion and connected to the support plate; and / or,

[0028] The transition bracket further includes a second reinforcing plate, which is fitted onto the side of the second side plate facing the first connecting portion and connected to the support plate; and / or,

[0029] The support plate is provided with weight reduction holes.

[0030] The vehicle in this utility model includes a frame, a suspension assembly, a front bumper assembly, a headlight assembly, and a transition bracket. The suspension assembly is mounted on the frame, the front bumper assembly is mounted at the front end of the frame, and the headlight assembly is connected to the front bumper assembly. The transition bracket connects the headlight assembly and the suspension assembly, allowing any one of the components—the frame, suspension assembly, front bumper assembly, headlight assembly, and transition bracket—to connect with two of the other four components, forming a closed or semi-closed frame structure. Each component is constrained by the other two components and cannot move or rotate freely. When subjected to external forces, this structure maintains its shape and integrity, thereby improving its rigidity and stability. This reduces vibration in the headlight assembly and front bumper assembly, lowering the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly. On the other hand, the headlight assembly is connected to the frame both through the front bumper assembly and through the transition bracket and suspension assembly. This not only increases the support between the headlight assembly and the frame, improving the stability of the headlight assembly, but also adds a load transmission path. This means that the vibration load on the frame is transmitted to the headlight assembly through two paths: one path is from the frame through the front bumper assembly to the headlight assembly, and the other path is from the frame through the suspension assembly and transition bracket to the headlight assembly. The force is distributed along the two paths, reducing the possibility of stress concentration on either path. This reduces the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly and transition bracket, thereby extending the service life of the front bumper assembly and transition bracket and improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0051] There is a type of heavy truck that integrates the headlights and related headlight frames, electrical wiring harnesses, etc., into the front bumper assembly. The front bumper assembly is rigidly connected to the vehicle frame. Because the headlight assembly is located far from the frame, the headlight assembly and the part of the front bumper assembly on which the headlight assembly is installed form a cantilever structure relative to the frame. Moreover, the headlight assembly is generally quite heavy. It is understandable that when the vehicle is driving on uneven roads, the road load on the vehicle will be transferred from the frame to the headlight assembly through the front bumper assembly. The headlight assembly, located at the end of the cantilever structure, is prone to severe vibration, which can lead to fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly connecting the headlight assembly and the frame, affecting the safety of the vehicle.

[0052] This utility model proposes a vehicle.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a partial structure of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 , Figure 2 A top view of a portion of the structure of an embodiment of the vehicle provided by this utility model.

[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle includes:

[0055] Frame 100;

[0056] Suspension assembly 200, mounted on frame 100;

[0057] The front bumper assembly 300 is located at the front end of the frame 100;

[0058] Headlight assembly 400 is located in front bumper assembly 300; and

[0059] The transition bracket 500 connects the suspension assembly 200 and the headlight assembly 400, so that the frame 100, suspension assembly 200, front bumper assembly 300, headlight assembly 400 and transition bracket 500 together form a frame structure.

[0060] The vehicle in this utility model includes a frame 100, a suspension assembly 200, a front bumper assembly 300, a headlight assembly 400, and a transition bracket 500. The suspension assembly 200 is mounted on the frame 100, the front bumper assembly 300 is mounted on the front end of the frame 100, and the headlight assembly 400 is connected to the front bumper assembly 300. The transition bracket 500 connects the headlight assembly 400 and the suspension assembly 200, thus enabling the frame 100, suspension assembly 200, front bumper assembly 300, headlight assembly 400, and transition bracket 500 to connect. Any one component in the bracket 500 is connected to two of the other four components to form a closed or semi-closed frame structure. Each component is constrained by the other two components and will not move or rotate freely. When subjected to external forces, it can better maintain the shape and integrity of the entire frame structure, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the entire frame structure. This reduces the vibration of the headlight assembly 400 and the front bumper assembly 300, and lowers the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300. On the other hand, the headlight assembly 400 is connected to the frame 100 through both the front bumper assembly 300 and the transition bracket 500 and the suspension assembly 200. This not only increases the support between the headlight assembly 400 and the frame 100, improving the stability of the headlight assembly 400, but also adds a load transmission path. This allows the vibration load on the frame 100 to be transmitted to the headlight assembly 400 through two paths: one path from the frame 100 through the front bumper assembly 300, and the other path from the frame 100 through the suspension assembly 200 and the transition bracket 500. The force is distributed along the two paths, reducing the possibility of stress concentration on either path. This reduces the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300 and the transition bracket 500, thereby extending the service life of the front bumper assembly 300 and the transition bracket 500 and improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0061] The vehicle in question can be either a passenger car or a commercial vehicle, but is particularly suitable for heavy-duty trucks with a relatively heavy headlight assembly (400). The suspension assembly (200) refers to the connection device between the engine, transmission, and other powertrain components and the frame (100), providing support and shock absorption for the powertrain. This design can be applied to either the left or right front side of the vehicle, symmetrically along its width. The front bumper assembly (300) is the vehicle's front bumper system, primarily serving to absorb collision energy and provide protection. It is mounted at the front of the frame (100), specifically at the very front of the vehicle. The headlight assembly (400) refers to the vehicle's headlights and related frame, wiring harness, etc., mounted at the front of the vehicle.

[0062] In one embodiment, the suspension assembly 200 includes a suspension bracket 210, one end of which is fixed to the vehicle frame 100, and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the support surface of the vehicle. The suspension bracket 210 is provided with a first connecting portion 211 away from the vehicle frame 100, and the end of the transition bracket 500 away from the headlight assembly 400 is connected to the first connecting portion 211.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the suspension assembly 200 includes a suspension bracket 210 and a suspension device (not shown in the figure). The suspension device is used to realize the shock absorption function. One end of the suspension bracket 210 is fixed to the vehicle frame 100, and the other end extends in a direction away from the support surface of the vehicle (the ground or platform surface where the vehicle is located, etc.). The suspension bracket 210 is used to install the suspension device. The transition bracket 500 connects the suspension bracket 210 and the headlight assembly 400. Specifically, the suspension bracket 210 is provided with a first connecting part 211, and the transition bracket 500 connects the first connecting part 211 and the headlight assembly 400. When the vibration load on the frame 100 is transmitted to the headlight assembly 400 through the suspension assembly 200 and the transition bracket 500, the vibration load on the frame 100 is actually first transmitted to the suspension bracket 210, then transmitted to the transition bracket 500 through the first connecting part 211 on the suspension bracket 210, and finally transmitted to the headlight assembly 400 by the transition bracket 500. Since the suspension bracket 210 itself has high strength and rigidity, it is beneficial to ensure the overall strength and rigidity of the frame structure, reduce the vibration of the headlight assembly 400, and thus reduce the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure of the front bumper assembly 300.

[0064] In one embodiment, the headlight assembly 400 includes:

[0065] The headlight frame 410 is connected to the front bumper assembly 300. The headlight frame 410 has a notch 411 for accommodating the headlight; and

[0066] The headlight bracket 420 is located on both sides of the headlight frame 410 and the connecting notch 411. The end of the transition bracket 500 away from the first connecting part 211 is connected to the headlight bracket 420.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In an embodiment of this utility model, the headlight assembly 400 includes a headlight frame 410 and a headlight bracket 420. The headlight frame 410 is responsible for connecting the front bumper assembly 300. The headlight frame 410 is provided with a notch 411 for accommodating the headlight. The headlight bracket 420 connects the headlight frames 410 on both sides of the notch 411, thereby improving the local strength and rigidity of the headlight frame 410, thus improving the strength and rigidity of the headlight assembly 400 itself, reducing the possibility and degree of vibration or slight deformation of the headlight assembly 400 itself during vehicle operation, and further improving the strength and rigidity of the frame structure. The suspension bracket 210 connects the first connection 211 and the headlight bracket 420. When the vibration load on the frame 100 is transmitted to the headlight assembly 400 through two paths, one path is from the frame 100 through the front bumper assembly 300 to the headlight frame 410, and the other path is from the frame 100 through the suspension bracket 210 and the transition bracket 500 to the headlight bracket 420. This further disperses the force transmitted to the headlight assembly 400, reduces the possibility of stress concentration on either path, and reduces the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300 and the transition bracket 500, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0068] In one embodiment, the two ends of the headlight bracket 420 are connected to the two sides of the notch 411, and a second connecting part 421 is provided between the two ends of the headlight bracket 420. The end of the transition bracket 500 away from the first connecting part 211 is connected to the second connecting part 421.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment of the invention, the two ends of the headlight bracket 420 are connected to both sides of the notch 411, and a second connecting portion 421 is provided between the two ends of the headlight bracket 420. A transition bracket 500 is connected to the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 421. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second connecting portion 421 protrudes towards the rear of the vehicle, which improves the rigidity of the headlight bracket 420 itself; the transition bracket 500 is connected to the side of the second connecting portion 421 away from the notch 411, that is, the side where the second connecting portion 421 protrudes, which reduces the possibility of the headlight bracket 420 itself deforming due to vibration load.

[0070] In one embodiment, the front bumper assembly 300 includes a front bumper bracket 310, which is connected to the headlight frame 410. The front bumper bracket 310 is provided with a third connecting part 311, which is connected to the front end of the vehicle frame 100, so that the vehicle frame 100, the suspension bracket 210, the front bumper bracket 310, the headlight frame 410, the headlight bracket 420, and the transition bracket 500 together form a frame structure.

[0071] Reference Figure 3In this embodiment of the present invention, the front bumper assembly 300 includes a front bumper bracket 310 and a front bumper body (not shown in the figure). The front bumper body serves to prevent collisions and absorb energy. The front bumper body is mounted on the front bumper bracket 310, and the third connecting part 311 on the front bumper bracket 310 is directly connected to the front end of the vehicle frame 100. When the vibration load on the vehicle frame 100 is transmitted to the headlight assembly 400 through the front bumper assembly 300, the vibration load on the vehicle frame 100 is actually first transmitted to the front bumper bracket 310 through the third connecting part 311, and then transmitted from the front bumper bracket 310 to the headlight frame 410. Since the front bumper bracket 310 itself has high strength and rigidity, it helps to ensure the overall strength and rigidity of the frame structure, reduce the vibration of the headlight assembly 400, and thus reduce the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure of the front bumper assembly 300.

[0072] Specifically in this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 The vibration load from the road surface is transmitted from the frame 100 to the headlight assembly 400 through two paths. One path transmits the load from the frame 100 to the front bumper bracket 310 via the third connecting part 311, and then from the front bumper bracket 310 to the headlight frame 410. The other path transmits the load from the frame 100 to the suspension bracket 210, then to the transition bracket 500 via the first connecting part 211, and then from the transition bracket 500 to the headlight bracket 420. The second connecting part 421 on the headlight assembly 400 is located away from the frame 100, while the first connecting part 211 and the third connecting part 311 are close to the frame 100 and spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the frame 100. This results in a triangular distribution of the first connecting part 211, the second connecting part 421, and the third connecting part 311, making the entire frame structure approximately triangular (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown by the dashed line, the triangular structure is stable, thus further improving the stiffness and stability of the frame structure, thereby reducing the vibration of the headlight assembly 400 and the front bumper assembly 300, and lowering the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300. Additionally, refer to... Figure 5 The first connecting part 211, the second connecting part 421, and the third connecting part 311 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the height direction of the vehicle. A virtual force transmission channel is formed by connecting the first connecting part 211 and the third connecting part 311, and another virtual force transmission channel is formed by connecting the second connecting part 421 and the third connecting part 311. The transition bracket 500 forms a physical force transmission channel between the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 421. Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5It can be seen that none of these three force transmission channels coincide with the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the vehicle coordinate system, resulting in the frame structure having angles with the vehicle coordinate system in all three directions. This improves the three-dimensional vibration resistance of the entire frame structure, further reduces the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300, and improves the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0073] In one embodiment, the width of the transition bracket 500 increases from one end near the headlight assembly 400 to the other end near the suspension assembly 200.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In this embodiment of the invention, the width of the transition bracket 500 increases from the headlight assembly 400 to the suspension assembly 200. That is, compared to the end of the transition bracket 500 connected to the headlight bracket 420 and the end connected to the suspension bracket 210, the end of the transition bracket 500 connected to the suspension bracket 210 is wider. This results in a larger cross-sectional area and moment of inertia at the end of the transition bracket 500 near the suspension bracket 210, thus providing better bending and torsional resistance. This further reduces vibration of the transition bracket 500 and the headlight assembly 400 during vehicle operation, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the transition bracket 500 refers to the distance between the outer walls of the first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520.

[0075] In one embodiment, the transition support 500 includes:

[0076] First side plate 510;

[0077] The second side plate 520 is disposed opposite to the first side plate 510; and

[0078] Support plate 530 connects the first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520;

[0079] One end of the first side plate 510 and one end of the second side plate 520 clamp the two sides of the first connecting part 211 and are respectively connected to the first connecting part 211.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6In this embodiment of the invention, the transition bracket 500 includes a first side plate 510, a second side plate 520, and a support plate 530. The first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520 are arranged opposite to each other, and the support plate 530 is located between the first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520. The first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520 are connected by welding or bolt fastening, etc. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. One end of the first side plate 510 and one end of the second side plate 520 together clamp the two sides of the first connecting part 211, and the first connecting part 211 is connected by welding or bolt fastening, etc., so that the connection between the transition bracket 500 and the suspension bracket 210 is more solid, reducing the vibration of the transition bracket 500 during vehicle operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the headlight assembly 400 connected to the transition bracket 500, and further reducing the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure of the front bumper assembly 300. Specifically in this embodiment, the first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520 both extend vertically along the height direction of the vehicle. The support plate 530 is perpendicular to the two side plates and connects the first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520, so that the entire transition bracket 500 forms a structure similar to an I-beam, which improves the bending and torsional stiffness of the transition bracket 500 itself, thereby improving the stability of the headlight assembly 400. The height of the first side plate 510 and the height of the second side plate 520 increase from the end near the headlight assembly 400 to the end near the suspension assembly 200. In other words, the end of the transition bracket 500 connected to the headlight bracket 420 is higher than the end connected to the suspension bracket 210. This results in a larger cross-sectional area and moment of inertia at the end of the transition bracket 500 connected to the suspension bracket 210. Consequently, the end of the transition bracket 500 near the suspension bracket 210 has better bending and torsional resistance, further reducing the vibration of the transition bracket 500 and the headlight assembly 400 during vehicle operation, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue cracks or even fatigue failure in the front bumper assembly 300.

[0081] In one embodiment, the first side plate 510 is provided with three first mounting points 511, and the first side plate 510 is connected to the first connecting part 211 through the three first mounting points 511, the three first mounting points 511 forming the three vertices of a virtual triangle; and / or,

[0082] The second side plate 520 is provided with three second mounting points 521. The second side plate 520 is connected to the first connecting part 211 through the three second mounting points 521. The three second mounting points 521 form the three vertices of a virtual triangle.

[0083] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 7In this embodiment of the present invention, the first side plate 510 is provided with three first mounting points 511. Each first mounting point 511 is connected to the first connecting part 211 by welding or bolting. The three first mounting points 511 are triangularly distributed and located at the vertices of a virtual triangle. This not only improves the connection strength between the first side plate 510 and the first connecting part 211, but also helps to distribute the load, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the transition bracket 500 and the suspension bracket 210.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, the second side plate 520 is provided with three second mounting points 521. Each second mounting point 521 is connected to the first connecting part 211 by welding or bolting. The three second mounting points 521 are triangularly distributed and located at the vertices of a virtual triangle. This not only improves the connection strength between the second side plate 520 and the first connecting part 211, but also helps to distribute the load, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the transition bracket 500 and the suspension bracket 210.

[0085] In one embodiment, the transition bracket 500 further includes a sleeve portion 540, and the sleeve portion 540 is connected to the other end of the first side plate 510 away from the first connecting portion 211 and the other end of the second side plate 520 away from the first connecting portion 211. The sleeve portion 540 is connected to the headlight assembly 400.

[0086] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8 In this embodiment of the invention, the transition bracket 500 further includes a sleeve portion 540, which is bolted to the second connecting portion 421 on the headlight bracket 420. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
