[0002] With technological innovation, the field of automotive component product development has also ushered in technological innovation. In recent years, as the requirements for vehicle handling and comfort have become increasingly stringent, high handling stability is needed during vehicle acceleration to prevent instability, while good comfort is needed during emergency braking to reduce discomfort. The front lower control arm bushing is a bushing closely related to vehicle handling and comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to design a front lower control arm bushing with high stiffness requirements on one side and relatively low stiffness requirements on the other side, while simultaneously balancing handling stability and comfort.

[0013] To make this utility model clearer and easier to understand, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0014] This utility model provides a front lower control arm bushing structure, mainly addressing bushings with high requirements for stiffness in the radial X+ / X- directions, different stiffness performance requirements, or bushings with fatigue performance requirements on one side. For example... Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a front lower control arm bushing structure including an inner tube 1, two C-shaped insert middle tubes 2, and two C-shaped insert outer tubes 5; the inner tube 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure; the planar openings of the two C-shaped insert middle tubes 2 are arranged facing each other to form a hollow cylindrical middle tube, and two gaps are formed along the length direction of the insert middle tubes at the opposite positions of the two C-shaped insert middle tubes 2; the planar openings of the two C-shaped insert outer tubes 5 are arranged facing each other to form a hollow cylindrical outer tube, and two gaps are formed along the length direction of the insert outer tubes at the opposite positions of the two C-shaped insert outer tubes 5; the middle tube is located inside the outer tube, and the inner tube is located inside the middle tube, and the two sets of gaps are merged into one set of gaps, forming a symmetrical bushing structure with the center line of the gap as the center line; with the center line as the boundary, half of the outer wall of the inner tube 1, the entire outer wall of one C-shaped insert middle tube 2, and the inner wall of one C-shaped insert outer tube 5 are vulcanized with rubber body A through the rubber body A injection point 3-1. 3. The outer wall of the other half of the inner tube 1, the entire outer wall of the other C-shaped insert tube 2, and the inner wall of the other C-shaped insert outer tube 5 are vulcanized with rubber body B through the rubber body B injection point 4-1; the inner wall of the inner tube 1 is also provided with a square groove 1-1, the central axis of the square groove 1-1 is perpendicular to the center line to indicate the installation direction of rubber body A and rubber body B, and accurately position the pressing direction of the bushing; the arc length of the C-shaped insert outer tube 5 is adjusted according to the required rigidity.
[0015] like Figure 4 As shown, the two C-shaped inserts are forced together by the outer tubes to form a collar size, and then pressed into the collar 6. The longer the arc length of the C-shaped insert outer tube 5, the more likely the C-shaped insert will be over-exposed after closing, resulting in insufficient rubber compression and lower stiffness. During acceleration, the rubber body A3 moves in the X+ direction, and is compressed by the inner tube. The rubber body A3 has higher hardness and stiffness, which is beneficial for rapid acceleration and good handling stability. During emergency braking, the rubber body B4 moves in the X- direction, and is compressed by the inner tube. The rubber body B4 has lower hardness and stiffness, which is better for comfort. Different stiffness and different fatigue performance of rubber bodies A3 and B4 can be achieved by adjusting their respective formulas.
[0016] This invention adjusts the formulations of the two rubber bodies according to the different stiffness requirements of customers.
[0017] This invention adjusts the formulations of the two rubber bodies according to the different fatigue requirements of customers.
[0018] The front lower control arm bushing provided by this utility model directly achieves the effect of bushing diameter reduction during the control arm collar pressing process, and different stiffness performances can be achieved by adjusting the arc length of the outer tube of the C-shaped insert.
[0019] This invention uses a square groove on the inner wall of the inner tube to precisely position the pressing direction of the bushing, thereby ensuring that one side of the bushing's rubber body emphasizes handling stability, while the other side emphasizes comfort.
[0020] In summary, this invention satisfies the stiffness and fatigue requirements in the radial X+ / X- directions by adjusting the formulations of the two rubber bodies separately. Since the bushing's press-fit structure eliminates the need for diameter reduction, and a square groove indicates the installation direction during installation, it solves the problem that traditional production processes cannot meet the need for stiffness adjustment in the same positive and negative directions. This invention reduces the diameter reduction process and facilitates convenient adjustment of the stiffness and fatigue of the two rubber bodies, significantly improving the technical advancement of the existing front lower control arm bushing's debugging and rapid development.
[0021] The above description is not intended to limit the present utility model in any form or substance. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and additions without departing from the present utility model, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, and evolutions made based on the essential technology of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
