Technical Field

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

[0002] Vehicles are typically equipped with shock absorbers. The upper end of the shock absorber is connected to the vehicle body structure, which includes wheel arches, wheel arch reinforcement beams, and / or the floor, etc. The lower end of the shock absorber is connected to the suspension control arm or wheel hub bracket. The shock absorber is used to absorb and buffer impacts from the road surface.

[0003] In related technologies, the edge of the mounting plate is connected to the vehicle body structure, and there is a gap between the mounting plate and the vehicle body structure. The impact force transmitted from the shock absorber to the mounting plate is dispersed to the vehicle body structure through the edge of the mounting plate. The impact force transmission path is long, the force transmission process is not continuous, and the impact force can easily cause the mounting plate to deform. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0034] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. 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.

[0036] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0038] 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.

[0039] Vehicles are typically equipped with shock absorbers. The upper end of the shock absorber is connected to the vehicle body structure, which includes wheel arches, wheel arch reinforcement beams, and / or the floor. The lower end of the shock absorber is connected to the suspension control arm or wheel hub bracket. The shock absorber is 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.

[0040] In some technical solutions, the shock absorber is connected to the mounting plate, the edge of the mounting plate is connected to the vehicle body structure, and there is a gap between the mounting plate and the vehicle body structure. The impact force transmitted by the shock absorber to the mounting plate is dispersed to the vehicle body structure through the edge of the mounting plate. The impact force transmission path is long, the force transmission process is not continuous, and the impact force can easily cause the mounting plate to deform, so the mounting plate needs to have high structural strength.

[0041] Therefore, this application embodiment also provides an installation structure for mounting the shock absorber 600, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting structure includes a mounting plate 100, a mounting component 200, a reinforcing plate 300, and a support component 400. The mounting plate 100 is connected to the mounting component 200, which is used to mount the shock absorber 600. The reinforcing plate 300 is connected to the mounting plate 100, and a cavity 500 is formed between the reinforcing plate 300 and the mounting plate 100. At least a portion of the mounting component 200 is located within the cavity 500. The support component 400 is disposed within the cavity 500, and its two ends are connected to the reinforcing plate 300 and the mounting plate 100 respectively, along the relative arrangement direction of the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300.

[0042] In some examples, the mounting plate 100 is a straight plate structure; in other examples, the mounting plate 100 is provided with recesses and protrusions to cooperate with the reinforcing plate 300 to form a cavity 500. The recesses and protrusions also help to increase the structural strength of the mounting plate 100 and guide the transmission of impact forces thereon.

[0043] In some examples, the reinforcing plate 300 is a reinforcing structure provided for the mounting plate 100; in other examples, the reinforcing plate 300 is a sheet metal structure included in the vehicle body structure, such as a wheel arch inner plate, a wheel hub inner reinforcing plate, a wheel arch reinforcing plate, etc. This application embodiment does not limit the reinforcing plate 300.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the connection between the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit ​​and fastener connection. For example, the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 are welded and fixed.

[0045] In this embodiment of the application, the connection between the support member 400 and the mounting plate 100 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit ​​and fastener connection. For example, the support member 400 is welded and fixed to the mounting plate 100.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the connection between the support member 400 and the reinforcing plate 300 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit ​​and fastener connection. For example, the support member 400 and the reinforcing plate 300 are welded and fixed.

[0047] In some embodiments, along the relative arrangement direction of the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, the two ends of the support member 400 are respectively connected to the reinforcing plate 300 and the mounting plate 100, and the force acting on the mounting plate 100 can be directly transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 through the support member 400.

[0048] In some examples, the support member 400 is a one-piece structure, with all components of the support member 400 integrally formed; in other examples, the support member 400 is a split structure, with each component of the support member 400 formed separately, and the formed components are fixed together by means of bonding, welding, snap-fitting, threaded connection or fastener connection. For example, the support member 400 is a one-piece sheet metal component.

[0049] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the mounting component 200 is connected to the mounting plate 100 so that the shock absorber 600 can be installed on the mounting plate 100. The mounting plate 100 is connected to the reinforcing plate 300, and the reinforcing plate 300 provides support for the mounting plate 100. The impact force transmitted by the shock absorber 600 to the mounting plate 100 can be dispersed to the reinforcing plate 300. The cavity 500 between the reinforcing plate and the mounting plate 100 is convenient for setting the mounting component 200 and for guiding the impact force to be transmitted in a set direction.

[0050] Based on this, a support member 400 is also provided in the chamber 500. Along the relative arrangement direction of the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, the two ends of the support member 400 are connected to the reinforcing plate 300 and the mounting plate 100 respectively. The support member 400 can directly transmit the impact force transmitted from the mounting member 200 to the position of the reinforcing plate 300. On the one hand, it can optimize the transmission path of the impact force so that the transmission process of the impact force is more continuous. On the other hand, the support member 400 provides support for the mounting plate 100, optimizes the strength of the mounting structure, and improves the impact resistance of the mounting structure.

[0051] Compared with related technologies where the mounting plate 100 lacks effective support, the technical solution of this application embodiment provides a support member 400 between the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300. The support member 400 can directly transmit the impact force to the reinforcing plate 300 and provide good support for the mounting plate 100 so that the mounting structure meets the dynamic stiffness requirements of the shock absorber 600 mounting point.

[0052] It should be noted that increasing the thickness (the dimension along the first direction Z) of the mounting plate 100, or attaching a thicker plate to the mounting plate 100, can increase the structural strength of the mounting plate 100, but it will make the structure of the mounting plate 100 more bulky and more difficult to stamp. By using the support member 400 of this application, the thickness of the mounting plate 100 can be reduced, which also facilitates the forming of the mounting plate 100.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, at least two chambers 500 are provided between the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, and each chamber 500 is provided with a reinforcing plate 300, and the outer contour of the reinforcing plate 300 is adapted to the inner contour of the corresponding chamber 500.

[0054] In some examples, chambers 500 and mounting components 200 are configured in a corresponding manner, that is, each chamber 500 is configured with one mounting component 200; in other examples, each chamber 500 may be configured with two or more mounting components 200. Support components 400 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with mounting components 200.

[0055] In some examples, the outer contour of the reinforcing plate 300 is adapted to the inner contour of the corresponding chamber 500, which means that the surface shape of the reinforcing plate 300 adhering to the mounting plate 100 or the surface shape of the reinforcing plate 300 are consistent with the corresponding surface shape of the mounting plate 100 or the reinforcing plate 300.

[0056] In some examples, two chambers 500 are provided between the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, namely chamber 500' and chamber 500", respectively. Correspondingly, a support member 400' is provided in chamber 500', which can correspond to the front mounting point of the shock absorber 600, and a support member 400" is provided in chamber 500", which can correspond to the rear mounting point of the shock absorber 600.

[0057] Among them, support member 400' and support member 400" include the same components. For example, support member 400' and support member 400" both include connecting part 430, receiving part 410, enclosing part 420, etc. The specific structure of each component can be the same or different. For example, the first surface 4211' of support member 400' is different from the first surface 4211 of support member 400".

[0058] The technical solution of this application embodiment, by setting multiple chambers 500, on the one hand, facilitates the arrangement of the mounting component 200, and on the other hand, can form multiple impact force transmission paths, which facilitates the guidance of impact force to be transmitted in different directions; each chamber 500 is provided with a corresponding reinforcing plate 300 to provide multiple supports for the mounting plate 100, and the outer contour of the reinforcing plate 300 is adapted to the inner contour of the corresponding chamber 500, which facilitates the connection of the reinforcing plate 300 and the transmission of impact force.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the support member 400 includes a support structure (including a receiving portion 410 and an enclosing portion 420, etc.) and a connecting portion 430. The support structure is connected to the reinforcing plate 300 along a first direction Z. The connecting portion 430 is disposed on the side of the support structure away from the mounting member 200 along a second direction Y. The connecting portion 430 is connected to the mounting plate 100. The first direction Z is the relative arrangement direction of the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300. The second direction Y has an angle with the first direction Z.

[0060] In some examples, the support structure is connected to the reinforcing plate 300 along the first direction Z, meaning that the support structure and the reinforcing plate 300 are connected and both can transmit impact force along the first direction Z. The connection between the support structure and the reinforcing plate 300 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit, and fastener connection. For example, the support structure is welded to the reinforcing plate 300.

[0061] In some examples, the projection of the support structure along the first direction Z is located between the projection of the mounting part 200 and the projection of the connecting part 430.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the connection between the connecting part 430 and the mounting plate 100 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit ​​and fastener connection. For example, the connecting part 430 is welded and fixed to the mounting plate 100.

[0063] In some examples, the connecting portion 430' and the connecting portion 430" have the same shape; in other examples, the connecting portion 430' and the connecting portion 430" have different shapes. For example, when projected along the first direction Z, the projection of the connecting portion 430' is a rectangle, while the projection of the connecting portion 430" is a rectangle.

[0064] In some examples, the angle between the first direction Z and the second direction Y is an acute angle; in other examples, the angle between the first direction Z and the second direction Y is an obtuse angle; and in still other examples, the angle between the first direction Z and the second direction Y is a right angle. For example, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z.

[0065] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the support structure abuts against the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 along the first direction Z, providing effective support for the mounting plate 100; the connecting part 430 is disposed along the second direction Y on the side of the support structure away from the mounting member 200, on the one hand, to avoid interference between the connecting part 430 and the mounting member 200; on the other hand, the second direction Y and the first direction Z have an angle, that is, the connecting part 430 and the support structure correspond to different positions of the mounting plate 100, which facilitates the connection between the connecting part 430 and the mounting plate 100.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the mounting member 200 and the mounting plate 100 are connected by a connecting structure 210, which protrudes toward the reinforcing plate 300; the connecting part 430 is provided with a relief recess 431 at the position corresponding to the connecting structure 210, and the relief recess 431 is used to avoid the connecting structure 210.

[0067] In this embodiment, the connection structure 210 between the mounting component 200 and the mounting plate 100 can be a welding structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, an adhesive structure, or a riveting structure, etc. For example, the connection structure 210 is a welding structure, and the mounting component 200 and the mounting plate 100 are fixed by welding with carbon dioxide shielded welding or the like.

[0068] In some examples, the surface of the connecting structure 210 facing the reinforcing plate 300 extends beyond the surface of the mounting plate 100 facing the reinforcing plate 300, that is, the connecting structure 210 protrudes relative to the mounting plate 100 facing the reinforcing plate 300, in order to increase the coverage area of ​​the connecting structure 210 and thereby improve the connection strength.

[0069] In this embodiment, the connection between the mounting component 200 and the shock absorber 600 can be one or more combinations of abutment, welding, bonding, snap-fit, and fastener connection. In some examples, the mounting component 200 is a columnar structure with threaded holes, and the shock absorber 600 is threadedly connected to the mounting component 200; alternatively, the shock absorber 600 is connected to the mounting component 200 by bolts or other fasteners.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 430 can be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, a rod-like structure, etc. In some examples, the connecting portion 430 is a plate-like structure, the connecting portion 430 forms a flange structure, the connecting portion 430 extends perpendicularly to the first direction Z, and fits against the inner wall of the mounting plate 100.

[0071] In some examples, the connecting portion 430 has a groove that forms a clearance recess 431; in other examples, the connecting portion 430 is bent, and the stepped structure formed by the bend forms a clearance recess 431. For example, the connecting portion 430 is a plate-like structure, and the connecting portion 430 is bent away from the mounting plate 100 to form a stepped structure, which raises the support structure relative to the mounting plate 100, and there is a gap between the support structure and the mounting plate 100.

[0072] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the connection structure 210 of the mounting member 200 and the mounting plate 100 protrudes toward the reinforcing plate 300, and the connecting part 430 is provided with a relief recess 431. The relief recess 431 corresponds to the location of the connecting structure 210 so that the connecting part 430 can avoid the connecting structure 210, thereby facilitating the layout of the connecting structure 210 and the connecting part 430.

[0073] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8In some embodiments of this application, the support structure includes a receiving portion 410 and an enclosing portion 420. The receiving portion 410 includes a receiving groove 411 extending along a first direction Z, and at least a portion of the mounting member 200 is disposed within the receiving groove 411. The enclosing portion 420 is disposed around the receiving portion 410 and is at least connected to the reinforcing plate 300.

[0074] In some examples, the extension direction of the receiving groove 411 is consistent with the extension direction of the mounting member 200.

[0075] In some examples, the enclosure 420 is connected to the reinforcing plate 300 but not to the mounting plate 100; in other examples, the enclosure 420 is connected to both the reinforcing plate 300 and the mounting plate 100.

[0076] In some examples, the depth direction of the receiving groove 411 is the second direction Y, that is, the plane where the opening of the receiving groove 411 is located is perpendicular to the second direction Y, and the opening of the receiving groove 411 and the connecting part 430 are provided on different sides of the receiving part 410. Since the receiving groove 411 has an opening, it is also convenient for the support member 400 to be assembled to the mounting plate 100, and for the support member 400 and the mounting member 200 to be connected.

[0077] In this embodiment of the application, the mounting member 200 extends to the outside of the receiving groove 411 along the first direction Z, and / or the mounting member 200 extends to the outside of the receiving groove 411 along the second direction Y.

[0078] In some examples, the projection of the enclosure 420 along the second direction Y surrounds the projection of the receiving portion 410. The common projection of the enclosure 420 and the mounting plate 100 surrounds the projection of the receiving portion 410. The enclosure 420 can be a flanged structure.

[0079] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the receiving portion 410 forms a receiving groove 411 extending along the first direction Z, thereby surrounding the mounting member 200 so that the impact force dispersed from the mounting member 200 to the mounting plate 100 in multiple directions can be transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 through the support structure. The enclosing portion 420 is disposed around the receiving portion 410, which facilitates the connection of the support structure to the reinforcing plate 300 and other structures. The impact force is transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 in sequence through the receiving portion 410 and the enclosing portion 420.

[0080] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12In some embodiments of this application, the receiving portion 410 includes a first plate 412 and two second plates 413, both of which extend along a first direction Z; the end of the first plate 412 away from the reinforcing plate 300 is connected to the connecting portion 430, and the two second plates 413 are respectively connected to both sides of the first plate 412 along the first direction Z, with the second plates 413 having an included angle with the first plate 412; the second plates 413 are connected to the mounting member 200, and the first plate 412 is spaced apart from the mounting member 200.

[0081] In some examples, the included angle between the second plate 413 and the first plate 412 is an acute angle; in other examples, the included angle between the second plate 413 and the first plate 412 is an obtuse angle; and in still other examples, the included angle between the second plate 413 and the first plate 412 is a right angle. It should be noted that the two second plates 413 and the first plate 412 may have the same or different included angles.

[0082] In some examples, a rounded or obtuse corner transition is used between the second plate 413 and the first plate 412. This reduces stress concentration and facilitates molding.

[0083] In some examples, the first plate 412 also extends along a third direction X, which forms an angle with the first direction Z and the second direction Y, respectively. The angle between the third direction X and the second direction Y can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. For example, the third direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Z and the second direction Y, respectively.

[0084] In some examples, the first plate 412 extends along the first direction Z and the third direction X, respectively, and the second plate 413 extends along the first direction Z and the second direction Y, respectively. The first plate 412 and the second plate 413 are perpendicular to each other, and the cross-section of the receiving groove 411 is rectangular.

[0085] In some examples, the distance between the first plate 412 and the mounting member 200 along the second direction Y is greater than 0, that is, the first plate 412 and the mounting member 200 are spaced apart. For example, the distance between the first plate 412 and the mounting member 200 along the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm. Of course, this distance can also be determined according to actual needs and is not limited to this range.

[0086] In some examples, the mounting member 200 is welded and fixed to two second plates 413 on opposite sides along the third direction X. On the one hand, the impact force transmitted into the mounting member 200 can be transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 in sequence via the receiving part 410 and the enclosure part 420. On the other hand, the impact force transmitted into the mounting member 200 can be transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 in sequence via the mounting plate 100, the connecting part 430, the receiving part 410, and the enclosure part 420. That is, the impact force on the mounting member 200 and the mounting plate 100 can be quickly transmitted to the reinforcing plate 300 by the support member 400.

[0087] In some examples, the end of the mounting component 200 away from the mounting plate 100 along the first direction Z is welded to the second plate 413; in other examples, the entire mounting component 200 is welded to the second plate 413.

[0088] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the first plate 412 and the second plate 413 of the receiving part 410 both extend along the first direction Z. The second plate 413 and the first plate 412 have an included angle so as to enclose and form a receiving groove 411 of uniform size. The structure is simple and easy to form. The two second plates 413 are connected to the two sides of the first plate 412. The end of the first plate 412 away from the reinforcing plate 300 is connected to the connecting part 430. That is, the connecting part 430 is set at the end of the receiving part 410 and is located in the middle position of the end so that the connecting part 430 can stably connect the support member 400 to the mounting plate 100.

[0089] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of this application, the enclosure portion 420 is connected to the opening position of the receiving groove 411. The enclosure portion 420 includes a third plate 421. The third plate 421 and the mounting plate 100 surround the receiving portion 410. The third plate 421 extends along the second direction Y. The third plate 421 includes a first surface 4211 that connects to the reinforcing plate 300 and a second surface 4212 that connects to the mounting plate 100.

[0090] In some examples, the projection of the third plate 421 along the second direction Y is approximately a "U" shaped structure, so that the enclosure 420 encloses the receiving portion 410.

[0091] In some examples, when projected along a third direction X, a portion of the projection of the mounting 200 overlaps with the projection of the second plate 413, and another portion of the projection of the mounting 200 overlaps with the projection of the third plate 421.

[0092] In some examples, the extension directions of the first surface 4211 and the second surface 4212 are the same as the surfaces of the corresponding connected mounting plate 100 or reinforcing plate 300, that is, the first surface 4211 is attached to the corresponding surface of the connecting reinforcing plate 300, and the second surface 4212 is attached to the corresponding surface of the connecting mounting plate 100.

[0093] In some examples, the first surface 4211 is a plane; in other examples, the first surface 4211 is a curved surface. For example, the first surface 4211 is a plane that adapts to the reinforcing plate 300.

[0094] In some examples, the second surface 4212 is a plane; in other examples, the second surface 4212 is a curved surface. For example, the second surface 4212 is a curved surface that adapts to the mounting plate 100.

[0095] In some examples, the middle portions of the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 protrude towards each other and are closely connected. The portion of the mounting plate 100 corresponding to chamber 500' is recessed away from the reinforcing plate 300, and the portion of the reinforcing plate 300 corresponding to chamber 500' is inclined, forming a chamber 500' with an approximately trapezoidal cross-section. The portion of the mounting plate 100 corresponding to chamber 500" is recessed away from the reinforcing plate 300, and the portion of the reinforcing plate 300 corresponding to chamber 500" is recessed away from the mounting plate 100, forming a chamber 500" with an approximately rectangular cross-section. The mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 form an H-shaped double-chamber 500 structure, which has good structural stability.

[0096] In some examples of support member 400', the first surface 4211' is inclined relative to the first direction Z, that is, the first surface 4211' has an acute angle with the first direction Z; the first surface 4211' is in contact with the inclined part of the reinforcing plate 300, and the first surface 4211' is welded and fixed to the reinforcing plate 300; the second surface 4212' is one, corresponding to the central protruding surface of the mounting plate 100, and the second surface 4212' is welded and fixed to the mounting plate 100.

[0097] In some examples of support member 400”, the first surface 4211” is disposed in the first direction Z, and the first surface 4211” is welded and fixed to the recessed bottom surface of the reinforcing plate 300; there are two second surfaces 4212”, which correspond to the two side walls of the recess of the mounting plate 100 respectively, and the second surfaces 4212” are welded and fixed to the corresponding surfaces of the mounting plate 100.

[0098] Reference Figure 13 In some examples, the reinforcing plate 300 is provided with a plug weld hole 310 at the position corresponding to the first surface 4211 to facilitate welding of the support 400 and the reinforcing plate 300, as well as the support 400 and the mounting plate 100.

[0099] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the enclosure portion 420 is connected to the opening position of the receiving groove 411, which facilitates the enclosure portion 420 being disposed around the receiving portion 410. The third plate 421 of the enclosure portion 420 and the mounting plate 100 form a structure surrounding the receiving portion 410, and the third plate 421 extends along the third direction X. On the one hand, it facilitates the connection of the enclosure portion 420 to the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, that is, the first surface 4211 of the enclosure portion 420 is connected to the reinforcing plate 300, and the second surface 4212 of the enclosure portion 420 is connected to the mounting plate 100. On the other hand, the third plate 421 and the receiving portion 410 have different extension directions, so as to achieve structural reinforcement in multiple different directions and improve the load-bearing capacity of the support member 400.

[0100] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of this application, the enclosure portion 420 further includes a fourth plate 422, which is connected between the third plate 421 and the receiving portion 410. The third plate 421 and the fourth plate 422 have an included angle. The first end of the fourth plate 422 near the mounting plate 100 is connected to the side wall of the receiving portion 410 parallel to the first direction Z. The second end of the fourth plate 422 near the reinforcing plate 300 is connected to the end face of the receiving portion 410 facing the reinforcing plate 300.

[0101] In some examples, a rounded or obtuse angle transition is used between the fourth plate 422 and the third plate 421. This reduces stress concentration and facilitates molding. Furthermore, the transition between the fourth plate 422 and the receiving portion 410 can also use a rounded or obtuse angle transition.

[0102] In some examples, the first end of the fourth plate 422 extends along the first direction Z; in other examples, the direction of extension of the first end forms an angle with the first direction Z.

[0103] In some examples, the second end of the fourth plate 422 extends along three directions; in other examples, the direction of extension of the second end forms an angle with the third direction X.

[0104] In some examples, the first end of the fourth plate 422 is connected to the second plate 413, and the first plate 412, the second plate 413, the fourth plate 422 and the third plate 421 form a three-level right-angle bending structure in sequence.

[0105] In some examples, the second end of the fourth plate 422 is connected between the second plate 413 and the third plate 421, and between the first plate 412 and the third plate 421. Along the second direction Y of the second plate 413 toward the first plate 412, the dimension of the second plate 413 gradually increases along the first direction Z, that is, the end of the receiving portion 410 away from the mounting plate 100 forms an inclined surface, and correspondingly, the fourth connecting plate is also inclined.

[0106] In some examples, along the first direction Z, the third plate 421 and the fourth plate 422 gradually approach the connecting portion 430. In other words, when projected along the first direction Z, the projection of the first plate 412 is located between the projection of the first end of the enclosure portion 420 and the projection of the connecting portion 430, and the projection of the second end of the enclosure portion 420 is located between the projection of the first plate 412 and the projection of the connecting portion 430.

[0107] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the fourth plate 422 connects the third plate 421 to the receiving part 410, and the fourth plate 422 and the third plate 421 have an included angle so as to achieve structural reinforcement in multiple different directions and improve the load-bearing capacity of the support member 400; the first end of the fourth plate 422 is connected to the side wall of the receiving part 410, and the second end of the fourth plate 422 is connected to the end of the receiving part 410, that is, the fourth plate 422 is inclined to adapt to the structure of the chamber 500, and the transition structure between the fourth plate 422 and the third plate 421 is relatively simple and easy to form.

[0108] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of this application, the support member 400 is further provided with a positioning part 440, which is used to define the position of the support member 400 relative to the mounting plate 100 and / or the reinforcing plate 300.

[0109] In some examples, the positioning part 440 cooperates with the corresponding structure of the mounting fixture, which is used for assembling the mounting structure; in other examples, the positioning part 440 cooperates with the corresponding structure of the mounting plate 100 to achieve the positioning of the support member 400 relative to the mounting plate 100; or, the positioning part 440 cooperates with the corresponding structure of the reinforcing plate 300 to achieve the positioning of the support member 400 relative to the reinforcing plate 300.

[0110] In some examples, the positioning part 440 includes a positioning hole formed in the mounting member 200, which can mate with a corresponding positioning post; in other examples, the positioning part 440 includes a positioning post disposed in the mounting member 200, which can mate with a corresponding positioning hole; furthermore, the positioning part 440 can also be other forms of concave or convex structures. It should be noted that multiple positioning parts 440 can adopt the same or different structural forms.

[0111] In some examples, the support 400 is provided with two positioning holes, one in the first plate 412 and the other in the fourth plate 422, with the axial direction of the positioning holes set along the third direction X.

[0112] In some examples of support members 400', the positioning hole located on the first plate 412' is provided at one end of the first plate 412' near the reinforcing plate 300; the positioning hole located on the fourth plate 422' is provided on the fourth plate 422' at a position away from the fourth plate 422' and along the first direction Z, the positioning hole is located in the middle of the fourth plate 422', and the positioning hole located on the fourth plate 422' is further away from the reinforcing plate 300 than the positioning hole located on the first plate 412'.

[0113] In some examples of support members 400", the positioning hole located on the first plate 412” is located at the end of the first plate 412” near the reinforcing plate 300; the positioning hole located on the fourth plate 422” is located on the fourth plate 422” near the fourth plate 422' and along the first direction Z. The positioning hole is located at the end of the fourth plate 422' near the reinforcing plate 300. The positioning hole on the fourth plate 422” is closer to the reinforcing plate 300 than the positioning hole on the first plate 412”.

[0114] The technical solution of this application embodiment, by setting the positioning part 440, facilitates the positioning of the support member 400 relative to the mounting plate 100 and / or the reinforcing plate 300, making it easier to accurately assemble the support member 400 to the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the installation structure and optimizing the performance of the installation structure.

[0115] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle includes a shock absorber 600 and a mounting structure according to embodiments of this application, wherein the shock absorber 600 is connected to the mounting member 200 of the mounting structure.

[0116] In this embodiment, the vehicle may also include body structures such as wheel arch inner panels, wheel arch reinforcing beams, and floor. The mounting plate 100 and reinforcing plate 300 can be connected to the body structure so that the shock absorber 600 can be installed on the vehicle.

[0117] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 100, reinforcing plate 300, and support member 400 may include metal, engineering plastics, or composite materials. For example, the mounting plate 100, reinforcing plate 300, or support member 400 may be made of aluminum alloy to facilitate weight reduction; alternatively, the mounting plate 100, reinforcing plate 300, or support member 400 may be made of steel to provide better support strength.

[0118] In some examples, the vehicle includes rear wheels and shock absorbers 600 disposed on the rear wheels, with mounting structures disposed at the rear wheels for connecting the shock absorbers 600 on the rear wheels to the vehicle body structure.

[0119] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the shock absorber 600 is connected to the mounting structure. A support member 400 is provided between the mounting plate 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 of the mounting structure. The support member 400 can directly transmit the impact force to the reinforcing plate 300 and provide good support for the mounting plate 100 so that the mounting structure meets the dynamic stiffness requirements of the mounting point of the shock absorber 600, thereby optimizing the driving and riding experience of the vehicle.

[0120] Furthermore, the wheel arch inner panel and vehicle implemented in this application have the advantages of small structural thickness, easy molding, and light weight. The two mounting parts 200 are embedded in the H-shaped double chamber 500 structure. The dynamic stiffness at low frequency meets the requirements of high driving performance, and at high frequency meets the requirements of NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance. The sheet metal structure reaches the dynamic stiffness level of the mounting point of the integrated cast aluminum structure.
