Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a chassis and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In vehicle design, the placement of the energy management module has become a key factor affecting overall vehicle performance, safety, and user experience. In related technologies, the energy management module is typically placed at the bottom of the chassis. However, due to the inherent shape and limited space of the chassis bottom structure, it is difficult to accommodate the increasingly larger energy management modules, thus hindering improvements in vehicle performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a chassis and a vehicle that can solve the problem of limited space at the bottom of the chassis.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle frame, including a bottom support member and a seat mounting structure. The seat mounting structure includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member, which are spaced apart on the bottom support member. The bottom support member has a protrusion on the side facing the seat mounting structure, and a mounting cavity is formed inside the protrusion. Along the arrangement direction of the first and second mounting members, at least a portion of the mounting cavity is located between the first and second mounting members for mounting an energy management module.

[0005] The vehicle frame provided in this application includes a bottom support member and a seat mounting structure. A first mounting member and a second mounting member of the seat mounting structure are spaced apart on the bottom support member and can be used to mount a seat. The mounting cavity inside the protrusion on the bottom support member is at least partially located between the first and second mounting members, allowing the mounting cavity to effectively utilize the space between the first and second mounting members, i.e., the unused space under the seat. Thus, while expanding the carrying capacity of the bottom of the vehicle frame, it also avoids encroaching on the vertical space of the passenger compartment.

[0006] In some implementations, the mounting cavity has a mounting opening located on the side of the bottom support member facing away from the seat mounting structure. The frame also includes a first support structure, which includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member and the second support member are spaced apart and arranged on opposite sides of the mounting opening. The arrangement direction of the first support member and the second support member is at an angle to the arrangement direction of the first mounting member and the second mounting member.

[0007] In some implementations, the first support structure further includes a first connector, one end of which is connected to the first support member, and the other end of which is connected to the second support member. The first connector is offset from the mounting opening along the orientation of the mounting opening.

[0008] In some implementations, one of the first and second mounting members is positioned opposite the first connector along the orientation of the mounting opening.

[0009] In some implementations, a first cavity is formed inside one of the first and second mounting members, the first cavity having a first opening, and a second cavity is formed inside the first connector, the second cavity having a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are positioned opposite each other along the orientation of the mounting opening.

[0010] In some implementations, the frame also includes a first fixing structure disposed on the first connector and located at the periphery of the mounting port for fixing the energy management module.

[0011] In some implementations, the frame also includes a second support structure, which is located on the side of the bottom support member facing away from the seat mounting structure, and the second support structure and the first connector are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening.

[0012] In some implementations, the second support structure includes a third support member and a fourth support member, which are spaced apart between the first support member and the second support member along the arrangement direction of the first support member and the second support member.

[0013] In some implementations, the frame also includes a second fixing structure, which is disposed on the second support structure and located at the periphery of the mounting port for fixing the energy management module.

[0014] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle including an energy management module and a frame according to the first aspect, wherein the energy management module is at least partially installed in a mounting cavity of the frame.

[0015] In the vehicle of this application, since the frame of the first aspect is included, the same beneficial effect can be achieved. That is, the arrangement space at the bottom of the frame can be increased. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0030] In vehicle design, the placement of the energy management module has become a key factor affecting overall vehicle performance, safety, and user experience. In related technologies, the energy management module is typically placed at the bottom of the chassis. However, due to the inherent shape and limited space of the chassis bottom structure, it is difficult to accommodate the increasingly larger energy management modules, thus hindering improvements in vehicle performance.

[0031] Research into the above issues revealed that simply attaching the energy management module externally to the bottom of the chassis would encroach on the vehicle's ground clearance, thereby affecting its passability and posing a collision safety risk. Conversely, simply embedding the energy management module into the bottom of the chassis would inevitably affect the vertical space of the passenger compartment (especially the passengers' "leg space" and "head space") without raising the overall height of the vehicle, thus impacting the riding experience.

[0032] To address the issue of limited space at the bottom of the chassis, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a chassis 1 and a vehicle.

[0033] According to the power type classification, the vehicle in this application embodiment can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a range-extended electric vehicle, or a fuel vehicle; according to the transportation function classification, the vehicle in this application embodiment can be a passenger car, a commercial vehicle, a bus, a truck, or a special-purpose vehicle. In this respect, this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The vehicle provided in this application includes an energy management module 2 and a frame 1, with the energy management module 2 at least partially installed in the mounting cavity 112 of the frame 1. Here, the energy management module 2 refers to an integrated functional assembly in the vehicle used for processing, storing, or converting core energy forms. Specific forms of the energy management module 2 include, but are not limited to: serving as an energy storage unit, such as a power battery pack or fuel cell stack; or serving as an energy metabolism unit, such as a portion of the exhaust system structure (e.g., a muffler, catalytic converter, exhaust pipe, etc.); or, an integrated assembly that includes both a battery and an exhaust structure.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a vehicle frame 1, including a bottom support member 11 and a seat mounting structure 12. The seat mounting structure 12 includes a first mounting member 121 and a second mounting member 122, which are spaced apart on the bottom support member 11. The bottom support member 11 has a protrusion 111 on the side facing the seat mounting structure 12, and a mounting cavity 112 is formed inside the protrusion 111. At least a portion of the mounting cavity 112 is located between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 along the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 for mounting an energy management module 2.

[0036] The bottom support member 11 can be the main load-bearing structure in the frame 1 that forms the foundation of the vehicle floor. Its function can be to support occupants, install seats, and connect with other vehicle body structures. The structural form of the bottom support member 11 can be set according to actual needs. For example, in some embodiments, the bottom support member 11 can be the front floor body.

[0037] The seat mounting structure 12 includes a first mounting member 121 and a second mounting member 122. The first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 can serve as a connection structure between the seat and the bottom support member 11 for fixing the seat to the bottom support member 11.

[0038] The structural form of the first mounting component 121 and the second mounting component 122 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first mounting component 121 and the second mounting component 122 can be a beam structure, a block structure, or a plate structure.

[0039] The first mounting component 121 and the second mounting component 122 can be arranged on the bottom support component 11 along the length direction of the vehicle or along the width direction of the vehicle.

[0040] The bottom support member 11 has a protrusion 111 on the side facing the seat mounting structure 12, and a mounting cavity 112 is formed inside the protrusion 111. This means that a raised structure is formed on the side of the bottom support member 11 facing the seat mounting structure 12, and the hollow space inside the raised structure forms the mounting cavity 112.

[0041] Along the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, at least a portion of the mounting cavity 112 is located between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122. This means that the mounting cavity 112 can be entirely located between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, or only a portion of it can be located between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122. This allows the energy management module 2 to be at least partially arranged between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, thereby effectively utilizing the bottom space of the seat.

[0042] The vehicle frame 1 provided in this application includes a bottom support member 11 and a seat mounting structure 12. A first mounting member 121 and a second mounting member 122 of the seat mounting structure 12 are spaced apart on the bottom support member 11 and can be used to mount a seat. The mounting cavity 112 inside the protrusion 111 on the bottom support member 11 is at least partially located between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, so that the mounting cavity 112 can effectively utilize the space between the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, i.e., the unused space under the seat. Thus, while expanding the bottom capacity of the vehicle frame 1, it also avoids encroaching on the vertical space of the passenger compartment.

[0043] Along the length of the vehicle, when at least three rows of seats are arranged inside the vehicle, the mounting cavity 112 can be located at the bottom of the front seats, the bottom of the middle seats, or the bottom of the rear seats. Alternatively, multiple mounting cavities 112 can be provided, and the multiple mounting cavities 112 can be respectively arranged at the bottom of the front seats, the middle seats, and the rear seats.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the mounting cavity 112 has a mounting opening 1121, which is located on the side of the bottom support member 11 facing away from the seat mounting structure 12. The frame 1 also includes a first support structure 13, which includes a first support member 131 and a second support member 132. The first support member 131 and the second support member 132 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121, and the arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 has an angle with the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122.

[0045] The mounting cavity 112 has a mounting port 1121, which is located on the side of the bottom support 11 facing away from the seat mounting structure 12. This means that the mounting port 1121 of the mounting cavity 112 is located on the side facing away from the seat, so that the energy management module 2 can be installed and removed from the bottom of the vehicle, which greatly facilitates assembly and maintenance.

[0046] In addition, the shape of the mounting port 1121 can be various, such as circular, square, polygonal, irregular, etc. The specific shape can be set according to design requirements.

[0047] The frame 1 also includes a first support structure 13, which includes a first support member 131 and a second support member 132. The first support member 131 and the second support member 132 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121. This means that the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 are respectively arranged at the edges of opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121 and are fixedly connected to the bottom bearing member 11 by welding, riveting or fasteners.

[0048] It should be noted that the structural form of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 can be beam-shaped, block-shaped, or plate-shaped. In some embodiments, the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 can be formed by the lower left longitudinal beam assembly of the front floor and the lower right longitudinal beam assembly of the front floor, respectively.

[0049] The arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 is at an angle to the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122. This means that the arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 is different from the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122. For example, the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 may extend along the width direction of the vehicle, and the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 may extend along the length direction of the vehicle. The arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 and the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 can be set according to design requirements.

[0050] Here, the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 of the first support structure 13 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121, which can improve the structural strength of the area where the mounting opening 1121 is located, thereby improving the overall stiffness and torsional performance of the frame 1. The arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 is at an angle to the arrangement direction of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122, so that the first support member 131, the second support member 132, the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 together form a spatial grid-like reinforcing structure. This cross arrangement can efficiently decompose and transfer loads from different directions through nodes, avoiding stress concentration.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the first support structure 13 further includes a first connector 133, one end of which is connected to the first support 131 and the other end of which is connected to the second support 132. The first connector 133 is offset from the mounting opening 1121 along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121.

[0052] One end of the first connector 133 is connected to the first support 131, and the other end of the first connector 133 is connected to the second support 132. This means that the first support 131 and the second support 132 are fixed together by the first connector 133 to form a more stable and robust frame structure.

[0053] The structure of the first connector 133 can be configured according to actual needs. For example, the first connector 133 can be a beam-like structure, a block-like structure, or a plate-like structure. In some embodiments, the first connector 133 can be the lower crossbeam assembly of the rear of the front seat.

[0054] The first connector 133 is misaligned with the mounting port 1121 along the orientation of the mounting port 1121, meaning that the first connector 133 does not cover the mounting port 1121 in the vertical projection.

[0055] Here, the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 are fixed together by the first connector 133, which effectively limits the relative displacement between the first support member 131 and the second support member 132, significantly improving the area's resistance to bending and torsional deformation. Along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, the first connector 133 is offset from the mounting opening 1121, ensuring that the mounting opening 1121 is an unobstructed and clear operating port, facilitating the smooth installation or removal of the energy management module 2 from the bottom of the frame 1.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the first support structure 13 may further include a front floor rear longitudinal beam 134, which is arranged on the side of the first connector 133 facing away from the mounting port 1121.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 is disposed opposite to the first connector 133 along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121.

[0058] Along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 is arranged opposite to the first connector 133, meaning that when viewed from the bottom of the frame 1 upwards, one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 is positioned directly above the first connector 133.

[0059] It should be noted that, along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, the first connector 133 can be positioned opposite to the first mounting member 121 or opposite to the second mounting member 122.

[0060] Here, along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 is arranged opposite to the first connecting member 133. On the one hand, the vertical load from the seat and its occupants can be transmitted to the first connecting member 133 directly below through the mounting member (first mounting member 121 or second mounting member 122) arranged opposite to the first connecting member 133, and then quickly distributed by the first connecting member 133 to the first support member 131, the second support member 132 and the entire frame 1, thus optimizing the load transmission path. On the other hand, the arrangement of one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 opposite to the first connecting member 133 can form a highly bending-resistant rigid node, which can effectively resist vibrations caused by seat excitation (such as occupant movement, road impact), thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle.

[0061] Of course, in some embodiments, the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 may both be offset from the first connector 133 along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, a first cavity 1211 is formed inside one of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122. The first cavity 1211 has a first opening 12111. A second cavity 1331 is formed inside the first connector 133. The second cavity 1331 has a second opening 13311. Along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, the first opening 12111 and the second opening 13311 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0063] One of the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 has a first cavity 1211 formed inside, and the first connector 133 has a second cavity 1331 formed inside. Along the orientation of the mounting opening 1121, the first opening 12111 of the first cavity 1211 and the second opening 13311 of the second cavity 1331 are arranged opposite to each other. This means that the first connector 133 and the mounting member (first mounting member 121 or second mounting member 122) arranged opposite to the first connector 133 have cavities formed inside, and the first connector 133 and the mounting member are fastened together through their respective opening sides.

[0064] Here, the first opening 12111 of the first cavity 1211 on the first mounting member 121 or the second mounting member 122 is opposite to the second opening 13311 of the second cavity 1331 on the first connector 133. On the one hand, they can enclose and form one or more efficient anti-torsional cavity structures, which effectively improves the torsional stiffness and strength of the frame 1. On the other hand, the design of the first cavity 1211 and the second cavity 1331 can reduce the weight of the seat mounting structure 12 and the first connector 133, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the frame 1.

[0065] Of course, in some embodiments, the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 may both be solid structures; or, the first mounting member 121 and the second mounting member 122 may both be hollow structures.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 further includes a first fixing structure 15, which is disposed on the first connector 133 and located at the periphery of the mounting port 1121 for fixing the energy management module 2.

[0067] The first fixing structure 15 is disposed on the first connector 133, which means that the first fixing structure 15 is fixedly connected to the first connector 133 by means of welding, riveting or integral molding.

[0068] The first fixing structure 15 is located at the periphery of the mounting port 1121, meaning that the first fixing structure 15 is arranged at the edge of the mounting port 1121.

[0069] The first fixing structure 15 can have various structural forms. For example, the first fixing structure 15 may include a mounting bracket with a connection hole, and the connection hole is fixedly connected to the energy management module 2 by a fastener; or, the first fixing structure 15 may include a buckle, and the energy management module 2 is fixedly engaged with the buckle.

[0070] Furthermore, the number of first fixing structures 15 can be set according to usage needs. For example, along the extending direction of the first connector 133, the number of first fixing structures 15 can be one, two, or more. For example, in an embodiment where the first fixing structure 15 includes a mounting bracket and the energy management module 2 includes a battery, the first fixing structure 15 may include a left rear battery mounting bracket and a right rear battery mounting bracket.

[0071] Because the energy management module 2 is heavy and needs to withstand severe vibration and impact, the first fixing structure 15 for fixing the energy management module 2 is set on the first connector 133. This allows the bolts and other fasteners used to fix the energy management module 2 to be directly connected to the robust first connector 133, rather than to the thinner floor structure. This avoids the risk of tearing at the connection point and ensures the safety and reliability of the connection.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 further includes a second support structure 14, which is disposed on the side of the bottom support member 11 facing away from the seat mounting structure 12, and the second support structure 14 and the first connector 133 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121.

[0073] The frame 1 also includes a second support structure 14, which is located below the bottom support member 11. The frame 1 also includes a second support structure 14 corresponding to the first support structure 13.

[0074] The second support structure 14 and the first connector 133 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121, meaning that the second support structure 14 and the first connector 133 are respectively arranged at the edges of opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121. The second support structure 14 can be fixedly connected to the bottom bearing member 11 by welding, riveting, or fasteners.

[0075] Here, the frame 1 includes a second support structure 14 disposed on the side of the bottom support member 11 facing away from the seat mounting structure 12, and the second support structure 14 and the first connector 133 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121, so that the second support structure 14 and the first connector 133 can symmetrically reinforce the opposite sides of the mounting opening 1121, further improving the ability of the mounting opening 1121 area to resist deformation.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this application, the second support structure 14 includes a third support member 141 and a fourth support member 142. Along the arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132, the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 are spaced apart between the first support member 131 and the second support member 132.

[0077] Along the arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132, the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 are spaced apart between the first support member 131 and the second support member 132. This means that below the bottom bearing member 11, a third support member 141 and a fourth support member 142 are added between the first support member 131 and the second support member 132.

[0078] The structural forms of the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 can be beam-shaped structures, block-shaped structures, or plate-shaped structures. In some embodiments, the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 can be formed by the rear section assembly of the left front longitudinal beam and the rear section assembly of the right front longitudinal beam, respectively.

[0079] Here, the second support structure 14 includes a third support member 141 and a fourth support member 142, which are spaced apart between the first support member 131 and the second support member 132 along the arrangement direction of the first support member 131 and the second support member 132. This increases the distribution path of the concentrated load generated by the energy management module 2, reduces the load on individual components, and further improves the structural strength of the frame 1.

[0080] Of course, in some embodiments, the second support structure 14 may also include a fixing plate, which is fitted to the side of the bottom support member 11 facing away from the seat mounting structure 12.

[0081] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second support structure 14 may further include a second connector 143, one end of which is connected to the third support 141, and the other end of which is connected to the fourth support 142.

[0082] Here, the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142 are fixed together by the second connector 143, which can effectively limit the relative displacement between the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142, and significantly improve the ability of this area to resist bending and torsional deformation.

[0083] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 further includes a second fixing structure 16, which is disposed on the second support structure 14 and located at the periphery of the mounting port 1121 for fixing the energy management module 2.

[0084] The second fixing structure 16 is provided on the first connector 133, which means that the second fixing structure 16 is fixedly connected to the second support structure 14 by means of welding, riveting or integral molding.

[0085] The second fixing structure 16 is located at the periphery of the mounting port 1121, meaning that the second fixing structure 16 is arranged at the edge of the mounting port 1121.

[0086] The second fixing structure 16 can have various structural forms. For example, the second fixing structure 16 may include a mounting plate with mounting holes, which are fixedly connected to the energy management module 2 by fasteners; or, the second fixing structure 16 may also include a snap-fit, which engages with the energy management module 2.

[0087] In addition, the number of second fixing structures 16 can be set according to the usage requirements. For example, in an embodiment where the second support structure 14 includes a third support member 141 and a fourth support member 142, the number of second fixing structures 16 can be two, and the two second fixing structures 16 can be respectively set on the third support member 141 and the fourth support member 142.

[0088] Here, the frame 1 also includes a second fixing structure 16, which can work in conjunction with the first fixing structure 15 to provide fixing points for the energy management module 2 from different directions, increasing the reliability of fixing the energy management module 2. Furthermore, the second fixing structure 16 for fixing the energy management module 2 is mounted on the second support structure 14, allowing bolts and other fasteners used to fix the energy management module 2 to be directly connected to the second support structure 14, rather than to the thinner floor structure. This avoids the risk of tearing at the connection point and ensures the safety and reliability of the connection.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the frame 1 may also include a front bumper beam 171, a left front longitudinal beam assembly 172 and a right front longitudinal beam assembly 173, which can form a front compartment structure 17, which can be used to house the vehicle's engine.

[0090] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the frame 1 may also include a rear bumper beam assembly 181, a left rear longitudinal beam assembly 182, and a right rear longitudinal beam assembly 183. The rear bumper beam assembly 181, the left rear longitudinal beam assembly 182, and the right rear longitudinal beam assembly 183 may form a rear floor structure 18, which may be used to house the vehicle's fuel tank.

[0091] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the frame 1 may also include a sill structure 19, which includes a left sill inner panel assembly 191 and a right sill inner panel assembly 192.

[0092] This application also provides a vehicle, as shown in reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle includes an energy management module 2 and a frame 1 as described in the above embodiment, wherein the energy management module 2 is at least partially installed in the mounting cavity 112 of the frame 1.

[0093] In the vehicle of this application, since the frame 1 of the above embodiment is included, the same beneficial effects can be achieved. That is, the problem of limited space at the bottom of the frame 1 can be solved.

[0094] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments described herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
