[0066] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0067] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0068] The vibration-damping tower structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 15 .

[0069] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 10 and 11, the vibration-damping tower structure 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes: a cover body 10 and an installation assembly 2.

[0070] Specifically, the mounting assembly 2 is used to connect with the shock absorber 3000 , and a part of the structure of the cover body 10 is formed as a part of the structure of the mounting assembly 2 .

[0071] When the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the mounting assembly 2 of the vibration tower structure 100, part of the structure of the cover body 10 participates in the connection between the mounting assembly 2 and the shock absorber 3000. In this way, the number of parts required to connect the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100 after connection, and further reducing the weight of the vehicle 6000.

[0072] During the operation of the shock absorber 3000, within the damping stroke of the shock absorber 3000, the shock absorber 3000 can elastically contract to absorb the vibration transmitted from the vehicle body and make the vehicle body more stable. When the elastic deformation variable of the shock absorber 3000 exceeds the damping stroke, the vehicle body and the shock absorber 3000 are rigidly connected, and the shock absorber 3000 cannot absorb the vibration transmitted from the vehicle body, thereby affecting the driving experience of the occupants of the vehicle.

[0073] It can be understood that the space below the vibration damping tower is certain. In this embodiment, by forming part of the structure of the cover body 10 into part of the structure of the mounting assembly 2, when the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the mounting assembly 2 of the vibration damping tower structure 100, the space occupied by the connection part between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration damping tower structure 100 is smaller, and there can be more space below the connection part between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration damping tower structure 100 for the shock absorber 3000 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the vibration damping stroke of the shock absorber 3000 and improving the vibration damping effect of the shock absorber 3000, thereby improving the driving experience of the people in the vehicle.

[0074] The vibration damping tower structure 100 is connected to the wheel arch of the vehicle 6000, and the connection area between the vibration damping tower structure 100 and the wheel arch is large, and the connection reliability is high. By forming part of the structure of the cover body 10 as part of the structure of the mounting assembly 2, the cover body 10 can provide improved support for the shock absorber 3000, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration damping tower structure 100, and further improving the reliability of the vehicle 6000 during use.

[0075] According to the vibration damping tower structure 100 of the first embodiment of the present application, by forming part of the structure of the cover body 10 as part of the structure of the mounting assembly 2, on the one hand, the number of components used to connect the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration damping tower structure 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle 6000 and reducing the production cost of the vehicle 6000. On the other hand, the space occupied by the connection part between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration damping tower structure 100 can be reduced, thereby increasing the vibration damping stroke of the shock absorber 3000 during operation, improving the vibration damping effect of the shock absorber 3000, and thereby improving the driving experience of the people in the vehicle.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the mounting assembly 2 includes a receiving member 30 and a mounting member 20 , wherein the mounting member 20 is disposed in the receiving member 30 , and the receiving member 30 is formed by the cover 10 . Thus, part of the structure of the cover 10 can be formed as part of the structure of the mounting assembly 2 .

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the cover body 10 defines a mounting cavity 11, and the outer wall structure of the mounting cavity 11 is formed to accommodate a housing 30. After assembly is completed, the mounting member 20 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11, the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the mounting member 20, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 prevents the mounting member 20 from escaping from the mounting cavity 11, thereby achieving a connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100. It is understood that the structural strength of the cover body 10 is higher, and the reliability of the connection between the cover body 10 and the vehicle body is higher, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the cover body 10 includes: a first cover plate 14 and a second cover plate 15. The second cover plate 15 is arranged on one side of the first cover plate 14 in the thickness direction. The first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 cooperate to define the installation cavity 11. In other words, the first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 are separate parts. During the assembly process, the assembly order of the first cover plate 14, the second cover plate 15, the mounting member 20, and the shock absorber 3000 can be adjusted according to assembly requirements, thereby making the vibration tower structure 100 adaptable to more assembly environments and improving the adaptability of the vibration tower structure 100 on different vehicle models.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 6, the second cover plate 15 has a first plate portion 152, a second plate portion 153 and a third plate portion 154, the third plate portion 154 is spaced apart from the first plate portion 152 and is located on the side of the first plate portion 152 away from the first cover plate 14, the second plate portion 153 connects the first plate portion 152 and the third plate portion 154, the third plate portion 154, the second plate portion 153 and the first cover plate 14 form an installation cavity 11, wherein the first plate portion 152 is connected to the first cover plate 14. During the product design process, the size or relative angle and other parameters of the first plate portion 152, the second plate portion 153 and the third plate portion 154 can be adjusted to meet more product design needs and reduce the difficulty of product design.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 6, the first cover plate 14 has a first plate body 142, a second plate body 143 and a third plate body 144. The third plate body 144 is spaced apart from the first plate body 142 and is located on the side of the first plate body 142 away from the second cover plate 15. The second plate body 143 connects the first plate body 142 and the third plate body 144. The third plate body 144, the second plate body 143 and the second cover plate 15 form an installation cavity 11, wherein the first plate body 142 is connected to the second cover plate 15. During the product design process, the size or relative angle and other parameters of the first plate body 142, the second plate body 143 and the third plate body 144 can be adjusted to meet more product design needs and reduce the difficulty of product design.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the second cover plate 15 is arranged on the lower side of the first cover plate 14, the first cover plate 14 is recessed upward and forms a first accommodating groove 141 opening downward, the second cover plate 15 is recessed downward and forms a second accommodating groove 151 opening upward, the first accommodating groove 141 and the second accommodating groove 151 are opposite and connected to each other and constitute the installation cavity 11, wherein the first cover plate 14 is connected to the vehicle body.

[0082] It is understandable to those skilled in the art that, during the operation of the shock absorber 3000, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 exerts a greater upward impact force on the cover body 10. By arranging the second cover plate 15 on the lower side of the first cover plate 14, the upward impact force of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 will act on the first cover plate 14. The first cover plate 14 is directly connected to the vehicle body, and the connection strength and reliability of the first cover plate 14 to the vehicle body are high. The upward impact of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 reduces the probability of the first cover plate 14 falling off from the vehicle body, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle 6000 during operation.

[0083] The installation cavity 11 is formed by the first accommodating groove 141 and the second accommodating groove 151. When the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 presses the mounting member 20 toward the side wall of the installation cavity 11, the first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 can withstand the impact force on the shock absorber 3000, thereby reducing the probability that the impact force of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 on the side wall of the installation cavity 11 is too concentrated on one of the first cover plate 14 or the second cover plate 15, causing the cover body 10 to be collapsed.

[0084] During the assembly process, the mounting member 20 is first assembled into the first receiving groove 141, and then the second cover plate 15 is connected to the lower side of the first cover plate 14. Subsequently, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is extended into the mounting hole 21 and the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the first frame 22. Thus, the assembly of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 on the vibration tower structure 100 is completed.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 are welded, bolted or riveted together, thereby making the strength and reliability of the connection between the first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 higher. During the product design process, the connection method of the first cover plate 14 and the second cover plate 15 can be adjusted to meet more product design needs.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG11 , the cover body 10 includes a first cover plate 14, the first cover plate 14 being recessed upward to form a first receiving groove 141 opening downward, the first receiving groove 141 being formed with a flange 1411 extending downward and toward the interior of the first receiving groove 141 along its circumference, the flange 1411 extending in a ring shape along the circumference of the first receiving groove 141, and the flange 1411 cooperates with the inner wall of the first receiving groove 141 to enclose a mounting cavity 11. In this way, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is directly connected to the first cover plate 14 via the mounting member 20, further simplifying the connection structure between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100, thereby further reducing the weight of the vehicle 6000 and lowering the production cost of the vehicle 6000.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 6, the cover body is formed with a first opening, the first opening is connected to the installation cavity and passes through the bottom wall of the installation cavity, the mounting member is an elastic member and is arranged in the installation cavity, and a mounting hole is formed on the mounting member for the upper end of the shock absorber to pass through, the mounting hole is opposite to the first opening up and down and passes through the installation member in the up and down direction, and the mounting member is configured to support the upper end of the shock absorber.

[0088] During the process of connecting the shock absorber 3000 to the vibration tower structure 100, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is passed through the first opening 12 and the mounting hole 21, and then the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the shock absorber 3000. This completes the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100. The connection structure between the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100 is relatively simple, thus reducing the number of parts required to connect the shock absorber 3000 and the vibration tower structure 100, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle 6000 and lowering the production cost of the vehicle 6000.

[0089] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the cover 10 is connected to the body of the vehicle 6000, and the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the wheels of the vehicle 6000. As the vehicle 6000 travels, the road surface changes, impacting the wheels. The impact force of the wheels is transmitted to the shock absorber 3000, which then transmits the impact force to the cover 10 via the mounting member 20, which is configured as an elastic member, and then to the body of the vehicle. Among them, when the shock absorber 3000 is subjected to impact force, the deformation will absorb part of the impact force. At the same time, the force on the shock absorber 3000 will cause the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 to move. Driven by the upper end of the shock absorber 3000, the mounting part 20 will contact the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11. The upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 will squeeze the mounting part 20. The mounting part 20 can further absorb the impact force, thereby making the vehicle 6000 more stable during driving, and the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 can knock on the cover body 10, making the vehicle 6000 more stable during driving.

[0090] During the operation of the vehicle 6000, the impact force on the shock absorber 3000 is constantly changing, and the impact force on the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10 is also constantly changing, thereby causing the vibration direction and amplitude of the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10 to also constantly change. In the prior art, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the seat plate, and the seat plate is connected to the cover body 10 by bolts. In this way, as the vibration time becomes longer, the bolt connection is prone to loosening or even falling off, thereby affecting the reliability of the connection between the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10.

[0091] In this embodiment, the mounting member 20 is arranged in the mounting cavity 11, the mounting member 20 supports the upper end of the shock absorber 3000, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 clamps the mounting member 20 to prevent the mounting member 20 from escaping from the mounting cavity 11, thereby realizing that the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the cover body 10. In this way, when the mounting member 20 has not escaped from the mounting cavity 11, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 can be connected to the cover body 10, and the mounting member 20 configured as an elastic member can absorb the vibration at the connection between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 4, 6 and 11, the mounting member 20 includes: a first skeleton 22 and an elastomer 23, the first skeleton 22 is in the shape of a plate, the mounting hole 21 passes through the first skeleton 22 along the thickness direction of the first skeleton 22, and the elastomer 23 abuts between the first skeleton 22 and the bottom wall and top wall of the mounting cavity 11.

[0093] The upper end of the shock absorber 3000 is connected to the first frame 22. During the movement of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000, the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 will drive the first frame 22 to move. The upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the first frame 22 will squeeze the elastomer 23, and the force will be transmitted to the inner wall of the installation cavity 11 through the elastomer 23.

[0094] Among them, the elastomer 23 abuts between the first skeleton 22 and the bottom wall and the top wall of the installation cavity 11. When the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 drives the first skeleton 22 to move, the elastomer 23 can absorb the force on the first skeleton 22 on the upper and lower sides of the first skeleton 22, thereby improving the effect of the mounting part 20.

[0095] The first skeleton 22 has high strength and rigidity. Thus, during the movement of the mounting member 20 in the mounting cavity 11, the first skeleton 22 undergoes relatively small deformation. This ensures that the mounting member 20's support rigidity for the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the connection strength between the mounting member 20 and the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 meet the requirements of the shock absorber 3000 during operation. Furthermore, the probability of the mounting member 20 being dislodged from the mounting cavity 11 due to excessive deformation of the first skeleton 22 is also relatively low, thereby improving the reliability of the mounting member 20 in the mounting cavity 11. Furthermore, the area of ​​interaction between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the elastic body 23 can be increased, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the elastic body 23 on the upper end of the shock absorber 3000.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic body 23 is a rubber member. The rubber member can realize the elastic vibration reduction function of the elastic body 23, and the rubber member is chemically stable and not easily corroded by the external environment during use, thereby improving the reliability of the elastic body 23 during operation.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 8, and 9, the elastic body 23 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the mounting hole 21. A slot 231 is formed on the circumferential surface of the elastic body 23 facing the mounting hole 21, and the outer circumferential edge of the first frame 22 is disposed in the slot 231. In this way, the elastic body 23 can wrap around the first frame 22 and surround the upper end of the shock absorber 3000. When the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 drives the first frame 22 to move, the elastic body 23 can absorb the force acting on the first frame 22 in all directions. The elastic body 23 can also absorb the force directly applied to the elastic body 23 by the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 around the circumference of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000, thereby further improving the effect of the mounting member 20.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, a thread is formed on the upper end of the shock absorber 3000, and the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 passes through the mounting hole 21 and is connected to the first frame 22 by means of a nut and a thread. In this way, the operation of connecting the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 to the first frame 22 is relatively simple, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving production efficiency. In addition, the threaded connection strength is relatively high, which can meet the connection strength requirements of the shock absorber 3000 during operation.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9, the mounting member 20 further includes a second frame 24. The second frame 24 extends in an annular shape along the axial direction of the mounting hole 21 and along the circumference of the mounting hole 21. The elastic body 23 is arranged radially inward of the second frame 24 and connected between the first frame 22 and the second frame 24. The provision of the second frame 24 can increase the rigidity of the outer ring of the mounting member 20, thereby reducing the degree of deformation of the outer ring of the mounting member 20 when subjected to a force. This further reduces the probability of the mounting member 20 being dislodged from the mounting cavity 11, thereby further improving the reliability of the connection between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the housing 10. Furthermore, during assembly, the second frame 24 can maintain the shape of the mounting member 20, thereby facilitating assembly of the mounting member 20 in the mounting cavity 11 and reducing assembly difficulty.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, in the radial direction of the mounting hole 21, the second skeleton 24 is interference-fitted with the peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 11. In this way, the reliability of the connection between the mounting member 20 and the cover body 10 can be further improved, thereby further improving the reliability of the connection between the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 and the cover body 10. At the same time, in the process of the upper end of the shock absorber 3000 squeezing the elastic body 23 to deform, the impact force can be directly transmitted between the second skeleton 24 and the peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 11. In this way, the mounting member 20 can quickly absorb the impact force on the shock absorber 3000, thereby further improving the effect of the mounting member 20. In addition, it can prevent the elastic body 23 from squeezing the second skeleton 24, causing the second skeleton 24 to knock on the peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 11 to generate noise, thereby improving the quiet performance of the vehicle 6000.

[0101] Among them, preferably, the interference fit between the second skeleton 24 and the surrounding wall of the installation cavity 11 is 0.1mm-0.3mm. For example, the interference fit between the second skeleton 24 and the surrounding wall of the installation cavity 11 can be 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm or 0.3mm. In this way, it can be ensured that the connection strength between the second skeleton 24 and the surrounding wall of the installation cavity 11 meets the use requirements, and the pressure on the second skeleton 24 and the surrounding wall of the installation cavity 11 will not be too large, thereby reducing the probability of the second skeleton 24 and the surrounding wall of the installation cavity 11 breaking during the process of pressing the second skeleton 24 into the installation cavity 11.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 8 and 9 , the elastic body 23 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the first frame 22. A groove 232 is formed on at least one end surface of the elastic body 23 in the vertical direction. The number of grooves 232 is one, or the number of grooves 232 is multiple, for example, two, three, or four grooves 232, with the multiple grooves 232 spaced apart along the circumference of the elastic body 23. It is understood that the stiffness of the elastic body 23 varies depending on the position, size, or shape of the grooves 232 on the elastic body 23. During product design, parameters such as the size, number, position, shape, or size of the elastic body 23 can be adjusted to adjust the stiffness of the elastic body 23, thereby meeting different product design requirements and reducing product design complexity. Furthermore, the grooves 232 can reduce the weight of the elastic body 23, thereby further reducing the weight of the vehicle 6000.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9, a second opening 13 is further formed in the housing 10. The second opening 13 extends through the top wall of the mounting cavity 11 and is vertically aligned with the first opening 12. The provision of the second opening 13 allows the first opening 12 to provide clearance for the upper end of the vibration absorber 3000, allowing the upper end of the vibration absorber 3000 to extend upward beyond the second opening 13. This provides more room for the upper end of the vibration absorber 3000 to move, thereby increasing the range of action and improving the effectiveness of the vibration absorber 3000. Furthermore, during assembly, there is more room to adjust the position of the vibration absorber 3000, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. During product design, the larger displacement space above the second opening 13 allows the vibration tower structure 100 to accommodate a wider range of vibration absorbers 3000, thereby improving the adaptability of the vibration tower structure 100 and reducing product design difficulty.

[0114] The welded connection is highly strong and reliable, and is easy to operate.

Furthermore, the connections between the components of the front nacelle assembly 1000 are highly reliable, improving production efficiency. The front nacelle assembly 1000 is directly connected to the shock absorber 3000 via the shock tower structure 100.
