Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of racing car support technology, specifically a Formula One racing car support. Background Technology

[0002] In motorsports, especially during team practice or testing phases, engineers and mechanics frequently need to disassemble and reassemble the engine for adjustments and maintenance. This process, involving tasks such as replacing spark plugs and adjusting ignition timing, requires frequent engine disassembly and reassembly, increasing preparation time and costs. Simply put, existing designs often lack sufficient flexibility and quick disassembly / reassembly capabilities, making the entire process cumbersome and time-consuming, increasing operational time costs, and thus hindering the efficiency of the racing team. This problem is even more pronounced in the Formula Student racing field. Formula Student racing aims to cultivate students' engineering practice and innovation abilities, and participating teams are primarily composed of university students. Members often lack long-term, systematic professional mechanical maintenance experience. Furthermore, team funding largely comes from school grants and social sponsorships, resulting in relatively limited resources and making it difficult to compare with professional racing teams in terms of equipment and professional tools. During practice and testing phases, to optimize car performance, university teams also need to frequently disassemble and reassemble the engine to perform tasks such as spark plug replacement and ignition timing adjustment. However, limitations in existing engine designs, coupled with students' lower operational proficiency, make the disassembly and reassembly process more time-consuming. This not only encroaches on valuable research and development and preparation time but also risks damaging engine components due to improper operation, further increasing costs and severely hindering the work progress and competitiveness of Formula Student racing teams.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a Formula One racing car support in one embodiment of this utility model includes, in sequence, a front chassis 1, a chassis cockpit 2, a roll cage 3, a first rear chassis 4, and a second rear chassis 5. The first rear chassis 4 is used to install the engine 6, and the second rear chassis 5 is used to install the suspension structure, etc. A lifting rod 51 is also installed on the second rear chassis 5 for the race car driver to use a lifter to push the car. The front chassis 1, chassis cockpit 2, roll cage 3, first rear chassis 4, and second rear chassis 5 are generally fixedly connected together by welding.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, an engine 6 is installed in the first aft compartment 4. The first aft compartment 4 includes multiple horizontal connecting pipes 41 and vertical connecting pipes 42. The horizontal connecting pipes 41 extend horizontally, and the vertical connecting pipes 42 extend vertically. The horizontal connecting pipes 41 and vertical connecting pipes 42 intersect each other. Diagonal bracing supports 43 are also installed between the horizontal connecting pipes 41 and vertical connecting pipes 42 to enhance the strength of the installation area formed by the horizontal connecting pipes 41 and vertical connecting pipes 42.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, multiple first mounting seats 61 are fixedly connected to the engine 6, and a first locking tongue 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each first mounting seat 61. Multiple first locking bases 44 that match the first locking tongues 62 are installed on the first rear compartment 4. The upper end of each first locking base 44 has a first insertion groove 4401 that matches the first locking tongue 62. When installing the engine 6, the first mounting seats 61 are aligned with the first locking bases 44, and the first locking tongue 62 can be inserted into the first insertion groove 4401.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a second slot 6201 is provided on the side wall of the first locking tongue 62, and a first sliding groove 4402 matching the second slot 6201 is provided on the inner wall of the first insertion groove 4401. A fixing pin 7 matching the first sliding groove 4402 is slidably connected to the first lock seat 44. The fixing pin 7 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 4402, and a first spring 81 is installed between the fixing pin 7 and the bottom wall of the first sliding groove 4402. An electromagnet piece 10 is installed on the bottom wall of the first sliding groove 4402, and a magnet piece 9 matching the electromagnet piece 10 is installed on the fixing pin 7. When the first locking tongue 62 is inserted into the first insertion slot 4401, the electromagnet 10 is energized, and the electromagnet 10 generates magnetism that attracts the magnet 9, forcing the fixing pin 7 to move towards one end of the electromagnet 10. At the same time, the first spring 81 deforms and stores energy. After the first locking tongue 62 is fully inserted into the first insertion slot 4401, the electromagnet 10 is de-energized, and the first spring 81 releases its deformation energy, forcing the fixing pin 7 to insert into the second slot 6201, thus completing the fixing of the first rear compartment 4 and the engine 6.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, a second slide groove 701 is provided at one end of the fixed pin 7 near the bottom wall of the first slide groove 4402. A guide rod 8 that matches the second slide groove 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the first slide groove 4402. A first spring 81 is sleeved on the guide rod 8.

[0024] The electromagnet 10 is existing technology, and the circuit switching of the electromagnet 10 is also a conventional technical means. In this embodiment, it will not be described in detail.

[0025] Furthermore, a second inclined wall 702 is provided on the fixing pin 7, and a first inclined wall 6202 matching the second inclined wall 702 is provided on the first locking tongue 62. When inserted, the second inclined wall 702 and the first inclined wall 6202 first contact each other, and the first locking tongue 62 continues downward. The first locking tongue 62 can push the fixing pin 7 to move towards the end close to the electromagnet piece 10 until the fixing pin 7 is located in the second slot 6201. Under the action of the first spring 81, the fixing pin 7 is inserted into the second slot 6201, thus completing the locking of the engine 6 and the first rear compartment 4.

[0026] In another embodiment, the difference from the above embodiments is: as Figures 8-9 As shown, there are two first lock seats 44, two first mounting seats 61, and two first locking tongues 62. In the top view, the two first lock seats 44 are on the same straight line and located at the front of the first rear compartment 4. A housing 11 is installed at the rear of the first rear compartment 4. The housing 11 and the two first lock seats 44 form a longitudinal alignment layout of upper double point and lower single point in the top view.

[0027] like Figure 6 , Figures 8-9 As shown, a third sliding groove 1101 is provided on the housing 11, and an opening is provided at the upper end of the housing 11 located in the third sliding groove 1101. A second mounting seat 63 is fixed on the engine 6, and a second locking tongue 64 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second mounting seat 63. The second locking tongue 64 enters the third sliding groove 1101 through the opening. A pressure block 12 that matches the third sliding groove 1101 is slidably connected inside the housing 11. When the pressure block 12 moves closer in the opposite direction, the pressure block 12 restricts the second mounting seat 63 within the two pressure blocks 12.

[0028] Specifically, the second locking tongue 64 is a T-shaped structure, or it can be a ball-head structure with a cylindrical upper part and a hemispherical lower part. When the second locking tongue 64 is a T-shaped structure, the two pressure blocks 12 press the protruding part of the T-shaped structure under the third slide groove 1101 to lock and fix the engine 6. With this configuration, when the first rear compartment 4 at the front end deforms, causing the positions of the two first locking seats 44 to change, during the insertion and installation, it may cause some of the first locking seats 44 and the first locking tongue 62 to become misaligned, resulting in installation failure. If the housing 11 is used to insert the second locking tongue 64, and the two pressure blocks 12 can press the T-shaped structure to fix it in the third slide groove 1101, then a certain degree of deformation of the Formula car bracket can be allowed.

[0029] When the upper part of the second locking tongue 64 is a cylindrical ball-head structure and the lower part is a hemispherical ball-head structure, grooves matching the pressure blocks 12 are opened on the opposite surfaces of the two pressure blocks 12. When the two pressure blocks 12 move in opposite directions, the ball-head structure is locked between the two pressure blocks 12. Even if the ball-head structure is tilted to a certain extent, the second locking tongue 64 can still lock with the pressure blocks 12. In other words, the ball-head structure, the housing 11, and the pressure blocks 12 cooperate to allow the Formula One car bracket to undergo a certain degree of deformation.

[0030] like Figures 8-9As shown, a connecting arm 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressure block 12. A fourth sliding groove 1102 matching the connecting arm 13 is opened on the lower end surface of the third sliding groove 1101. A bidirectional screw 14 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the housing 11, penetrating the housing 11. A bearing 17 is installed between the housing 11 and the bidirectional screw 14. A threaded sleeve 1301 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting arm 13, and the threaded sleeve 1301 and the bidirectional screw 14 are threadedly connected. When the bidirectional screw 14 rotates, the pressure block 12 moves away from or towards the horizontal direction.

[0031] Preferred, such as Figure 9 As shown, the two threaded portions of the bidirectional screw 14 are rotatably connected, meaning that during use, the left and right threaded rods need to be rotated separately to control the movement of the pressure block 12 in the third slide groove 1101. This design allows for a larger misalignment angle of the second locking tongue 64.

[0032] like Figure 9 As shown, two nuts 15 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 14. Both nuts 15 are located between the threaded sleeve 1301 and the bearing 17, and a second spring 16 is installed between the nuts 15 and the bearing 17. When the pressure block 12 approaches one end of the second locking tongue 64 and locks the second locking tongue 64 in the third sliding groove 1101, the nuts 15 are rotated on the bidirectional screw 14, causing the nuts 15 to press tightly against the threaded sleeve 1301. At this time, the bidirectional screw 14 is locked, preventing it from rotating. The principle is that the threaded sleeve 1301 applies an axial force to the nuts 15, which increases the friction between the internal thread of the nuts 15 and the external thread of the bidirectional screw 14, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the bidirectional screw 14. The second spring 16 is also used to increase the friction between the internal thread of the nuts 15 and the external thread of the bidirectional screw 14, minimizing the possibility of the nuts 15 easily rotating on the bidirectional screw 14.

[0033] In use, first adjust the position of the two first locking tongues 62 at the front to ensure that the first locking tongues 62 can be inserted into the first insertion slot 4401. Then move the engine 6 downward to force the fixing pin 7 into the second slot 6201. At the same time, the second locking tongue 64 also enters the third sliding groove 1101 through the opening. Then rotate the two double-acting screws 14 respectively to make the pressure block 12 clamp or press the second locking tongue 64. Finally, rotate the nut 15 so that the nut 15 is tightly against the threaded sleeve 1301.

[0034] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, then this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
