[0059] As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, electric vehicles using batteries as a power source for vehicles are increasingly widely used. With the continuous development of electric vehicle technology, the control of production costs has attracted more and more attention from those skilled in the art.

[0060] In related technologies, the production system of electric vehicles is usually arranged in a relatively long and narrow linear manner, with a large number of workstations arranged in sequence on an assembly bus. This not only makes the production system occupy a large space, but also makes the investment in production equipment large. Moreover, the multiple workstations arranged in a long and narrow linear manner are prone to problems in a certain workstation, which may cause the entire production system to stop production, resulting in high production and operation costs of the electric vehicle production system.

[0061] In order to reduce production costs, some embodiments of the present application provide a chassis production system, which includes a first production line, a second production line, a third production line and an assembly bus, wherein the first production line is used to assemble the front cabin, the second production line is used to assemble the rear cabin, and the third production line is used to assemble the energy cabin. The first production line, the second production line and the third production line are arranged in parallel, and the assembly bus installs the front cabin and the rear cabin at the two ends of the energy cabin, respectively. In the above scheme, since the first production line, the second production line and the third production line arranged in parallel in the chassis production system are respectively used to assemble the front cabin, the rear cabin and the energy cabin, not only does the first production line, the second production line and the third production line not affect each other, reducing the possibility of production suspension, but also the length of the assembly bus can be shortened, which is conducive to reducing the investment in production equipment and effectively reducing the production cost of the chassis.

[0062] The chassis production system disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be used for, but is not limited to, producing chassis for electric vehicles, and can also be used for producing fuel vehicles and gas vehicles.

[0063] The following further describes the technical solutions for the production system and production method of the chassis provided in the specific implementation manner of this application.

[0064] Some embodiments of the present application provide a chassis production system, as shown in Figure 1, the chassis production system includes a first production line 1, a second production line 2, a third production line 3 and an assembly bus 4, the first production line 1 is used to assemble the front cabin 10, the second production line 2 is used to assemble the rear cabin 20; the third production line 3 is used to assemble the energy cabin 30, the first production line 1, the second production line 2 and the third production line 3 are arranged in parallel; the assembly bus 4 installs the front cabin 10 and the rear cabin 20 at the two ends of the energy cabin 30 respectively.

[0065] The chassis of an electric vehicle typically consists of three parts: a front compartment 10, an energy compartment 30, and a rear compartment 20. The energy compartment 30 contains a battery 303 that provides power for the electric vehicle. The front compartment 10 and the rear compartment 20 are respectively mounted at both ends of the energy compartment 30. The front compartment 10 can be mounted at the front end of the energy compartment 30 in the vehicle's forward direction, and the rear compartment 20 can be mounted at the rear end of the energy compartment 30 in the vehicle's forward direction.

[0066] The first production line 1 may be one or more interconnected assembly lines in the chassis production system, and is used to assemble the front cabin 10. The first production line 1 may include multiple workstations, which are arranged sequentially. The components that make up the front cabin 10 can be transferred between the multiple workstations and assembled simultaneously to ultimately form a unified front cabin 10.

[0067] Exemplarily, the first production line 1 may include at least one of a belt assembly line, a plate chain line, a double-speed chain, a plug-in line, a mesh belt line, a suspension line and a roller assembly line. The various components that make up the front cabin 10 can be transferred between multiple workstations in the first production line 1 and assembled into the front cabin 10.

[0068] The second production line 2 may be one or more interconnected assembly lines in the chassis production system, and is used to assemble the rear compartment 20. The second production line 2 may include multiple workstations arranged sequentially, and the components that make up the rear compartment 20 may be transferred between the multiple workstations and assembled simultaneously to ultimately form a monolithic rear compartment 20.

[0069] Exemplarily, the second production line 2 may include at least one of a belt assembly line, a plate chain line, a double-speed chain, a plug-in line, a mesh belt line, a suspension line and a roller assembly line. The various components that make up the rear cabin 20 can be transferred between multiple workstations in the second production line 2 and assembled into the rear cabin 20.

[0070] The third production line 3 can be one or more interconnected assembly lines in the chassis production system, used to assemble the energy cabin 30. The third production line 3 can include multiple workstations, which are arranged sequentially. The components that make up the rear cabin 20 can be transferred between the multiple workstations and assembled simultaneously to ultimately form the energy cabin 30 as a single structure.

[0071] Exemplarily, the third production line 3 may include at least one of a belt assembly line, a plate chain line, a double-speed chain, a plug-in line, a mesh belt line, a suspension line and a roller assembly line. The components that make up the energy cabin 30 can be transferred between multiple workstations in the second production line 2 and assembled into an energy cabin 30.

[0072] The first production line 1, the second production line 2 and the third production line 3 are set up in parallel, which means that the first production line 1, the second production line 2 and the third production line 3 are set up independently of each other, and the operation of the three does not affect each other. This means that if a problem occurs in a production line and the line is stopped, it will not affect the production of other production lines, greatly reducing the possibility of the chassis production system being shut down.

[0073] The assembly bus 4 can be one or more interconnected assembly lines in the chassis production system, used to assemble the entire chassis. The assembly bus 4 can include multiple workstations arranged sequentially, allowing the front cabin 10, rear cabin 20, and energy cabin 30 to be transferred between the multiple workstations and assembled simultaneously to ultimately form the entire chassis.

[0074] Exemplarily, the assembly bus 4 may include at least one of a belt assembly line, a plate chain line, a double-speed chain, a plug-in line, a mesh belt line, a suspension line and a roller assembly line. The front cabin 10, the rear cabin 20 and the energy cabin 30 can be transferred between multiple workstations in the assembly bus 4 and assembled into a chassis as a whole.

[0075] In the above structure, the front cabin 10, rear cabin 20, and energy cabin 30 in the chassis are assembled by the first production line 1, the second production line 2, and the third production line 3, respectively. The assembly bus 4 assembles the front cabin 10, the rear cabin 20, and the energy cabin 30, thereby reducing the length of the assembly bus 4 and the number of workstations. Since the workstations in the first production line 1 are used to assemble the front cabin 10, the workstations in the second production line 2 are used to assemble the rear cabin 20, and the workstations in the third production line 3 are used to assemble the energy cabin 30, the workstations in the first production line 1, the workstations in the second production line 2, and the workstations in the third production line 3 are all smaller in area than the workstations in the assembly bus 4. Reducing the length of the assembly bus 4 and the number of workstations is conducive to reducing the investment in production equipment and can reduce the production cost of the chassis.
