Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel suspension technology, specifically a connecting component for a front suspension upper bracket. Background Technology
[0002] The wheel knuckle is a key component of the automotive steering axle. It is used to connect the wheel to the suspension. The function of the steering knuckle is to transmit and bear the load of the front of the car, support and drive the wheel to rotate around the kingpin so that the car can turn. When the car is in motion, it bears varying impact loads. Therefore, the wheel knuckle must have high strength.
[0003] The steering knuckle of a wheel bears impacts from all directions during vehicle operation, so its strength is crucial to vehicle safety. In vehicles with double wishbone suspension, a steering knuckle arm (such as a steering knuckle arm) connected to the double wishbone at the top of the steering knuckle is installed to cooperate with the double wishbone at the top of the shock absorber. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the current steering knuckle arm is directly mounted on the steering knuckle. Due to the relatively long length of the steering knuckle arm, special requirements are placed on its rigidity; otherwise, vehicle safety will be compromised. Therefore, we propose a connecting assembly for the front suspension upper bracket. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a connecting component for a front suspension upper bracket, which has the advantages of high structural strength and strong impact resistance, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a connecting component for a front suspension upper bracket is designed, including a bearing seat with a bearing hole in the middle, a steering knuckle arm on the top of the bearing seat, and first supports extending outward on both sides of the bottom of the bearing seat. Second reinforcing ribs are provided on the surface of the bearing seat on both sides of the bearing hole. The top of the second reinforcing ribs extends upward and is set on the steering knuckle arm. The bottoms of the two second reinforcing ribs are respectively connected to the first supports, and the bottoms of the two first supports are connected by a second connecting seat.
[0006] Preferably, a second support is provided at the top of the steering knuckle arm.
[0007] Preferably, the steering knuckle arm has at least one first reinforcing rib on the side away from the second reinforcing rib, and the bottom of the first reinforcing rib is connected to the bearing housing.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a connecting assembly for a front suspension upper bracket, including a bearing housing 1, wherein the bearing housing 1 has a bearing hole 4 in the middle, such as... Figure 3 As shown, multiple screw holes are provided on the edge of bearing hole 4. During installation, the wheel hub bearing is placed directly into bearing hole 4, and then the wheel hub bearing is installed in the screw holes by bolts. The bearing housing 1 has a steering knuckle arm 3 on its top. The steering knuckle arm 3 has an arc-shaped structure, specifically bending inwards towards the inside of the housing. This is also the case in the actual steering knuckle arm 3. This design provides sufficient space for wheel installation. A second support 10 is located on the top of the steering knuckle arm 3. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second support 10 is used for rotatable connection with the support fork arm.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the steering knuckle arm 3 and bearing housing 1 constitute the main structure of the wheel horn. In actual use, the bottom of the horn is rotatably connected to the support arm. In order to facilitate connection with the support arm, this application provides outwardly extending first supports 7 on both sides of the bottom of the bearing housing 1. The first supports 7 and the steering knuckle arm 3 are located on the same side of the bearing housing 1, and the bottoms of the two first supports 7 are connected by a second connecting seat 8. The two ends of the second connecting seat 8 are detachably connected to the first supports 7, that is, the two ends of the second connecting seat 8 are locked to the first supports 7 by bolts. like Figure 1 As shown, since the first support 7 extends to the outside of the bearing housing 1, when the second connecting seat 8 is installed below the first support 7, the second connecting seat 8 is located outside the side of the bearing housing 1. In actual use, the second connecting seat 8 is used to rotatably connect with the end of the support arm. The second connecting seat 8 has also been thickened to give it sufficient self-weight strength.
[0022] To improve the overall strength of the ram's horns, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second reinforcing rib 6 is provided on the surface of the bearing seat 1 on both sides of the bearing hole 4. The top of the second reinforcing rib 6 extends upward and is set on the steering knuckle arm 3, and the bottom of the two second reinforcing ribs 6 are respectively connected to the first support 7. The second reinforcing rib 6 can effectively increase the strength of the steering knuckle in the vertical direction, and significantly improve the support capacity of the steering knuckle. like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, at least one first reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the side of the steering knuckle arm 3 away from the second reinforcing rib 6. That is, the first reinforcing rib 2 is located in the concave surface of the steering knuckle arm 3. The bottom of the first reinforcing rib 2 is connected to the bearing housing 1. The first reinforcing rib 2 and the second reinforcing rib 6 are distributed on both sides of the steering knuckle arm 3. Therefore, the first reinforcing rib 2 and the second reinforcing rib 6 work together to further enhance the strength of the steering knuckle arm. The tops of the first reinforcing rib 2 and the second reinforcing rib 6 extend to the second support 10 and connect with the second support 10, which can enhance the support strength of the second support 10.
[0023] Furthermore, a third reinforcing rib 9 is provided on both sides of the bearing housing 1. The two ends of the third reinforcing rib 9 are connected to the side of the steering knuckle arm 3 and the first support 7, respectively. Since the third reinforcing rib 9 forms a reinforcing structure on the side of the bearing housing 1 and the steering knuckle arm 3, the bending resistance and impact resistance of the steering knuckle can be improved.
[0024] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization is possible. At least one first connecting seat 5 is provided on the side of the bearing housing 1. The first connecting seat 5 is located at the third reinforcing rib 9. The first connecting seat 5 is used to rotatably connect with the vehicle's balance bar and tie rod. The number of first connecting seats 5 should be specifically set according to the actual situation.
[0025] Based on the above embodiments, it should be noted that the second support 10, the first connecting seat 5, and the second connecting seat 8 are ball head supports or pivot supports, because in actual use, the yoke and the support arm, pull rod and fork arm are connected by pivots or by ball heads, so the choice of support needs to be determined according to the actual situation.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
