Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and in particular relates to a subframe assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0003] At present, with the continuous upgrading of traffic safety regulations, in order to meet the deformation requirements of the passenger compartment in 25% small offset collisions and full frontal collisions, the vehicle's front subframe needs to assume more energy absorption and bending tasks, but the current front subframe cannot effectively meet the increasingly stringent collision performance requirements of small offset collisions and full frontal collisions.

[0061] In the present invention, in order to better illustrate the structure of the sub-frame assembly and its connection relationship, the "left" referred to in the present invention refers to the left side of the vehicle (i.e., the upper left side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG1 or the right side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG3 ); the "right" referred to in the present invention refers to the right side of the vehicle (i.e., the lower right side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG1 or the left side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG3 ); the "front" referred to in the present invention refers to the front of the vehicle (i.e., the upper right side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG1 or the upper side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG3 ); and the "rear" referred to in the present invention refers to the rear side of the vehicle (i.e., the lower left side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG1 or the lower side of the sub-frame assembly shown in FIG3 ).

[0062] As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a subframe assembly, comprising a first longitudinal beam 1, a second longitudinal beam 2, a front crossbeam 3, and a rear crossbeam 4 spaced apart from the front crossbeam 3. The first longitudinal beam 1 comprises a first longitudinal portion 110 and a first crossbeam 120, wherein the first crossbeam 120 is connected between a front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and a first end of the front crossbeam 3. An end of the first longitudinal portion 110 remote from the first crossbeam 120 is connected to a first end of the rear crossbeam 4. The second longitudinal beam 2 comprises a second longitudinal portion 210 and a second crossbeam 220, wherein the second crossbeam 220 is connected between a front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and a second end of the front crossbeam 3. An end of the second longitudinal portion 210 remote from the second crossbeam 220 is connected to a second end of the rear crossbeam 4. The subframe assembly is mounted on a vehicle chassis, wherein the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 extend along the length direction of the vehicle (the front-to-back direction of the vehicle), and the front crossbeam 3 and the rear crossbeam 4 extend along the width direction of the vehicle (the left-to-right direction of the vehicle). Furthermore, the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first transverse portion 120, the first transverse portion 120 and the first end of the front cross member 3, the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first end of the rear cross member 4, the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second transverse portion 220, the second transverse portion 220 and the second end of the front cross member 3, and the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second end of the rear cross member 4 can all be connected using gas shielded welding to form the frame structure of the subframe assembly. This improves vehicle rigidity, ensures the integrity of the frame during a collision, effectively absorbs impact energy, and enhances the collision performance of the vehicle structure. Furthermore, stamped sheets are provided as connecting plates between the rear cross member 4 and the first and second longitudinal beams 1 and 2.

[0063] In the above embodiment of the present invention, the first longitudinal portion 110 of the first longitudinal beam 1 is connected to the rear cross beam 4, and the first transverse portion 120 is connected to the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and extends toward the first end of the front cross beam 3 to form a "7"-shaped connection structure; similarly, the second longitudinal portion 210 of the second longitudinal beam 2 is connected to the rear cross beam 4, and the second transverse portion 220 is connected to the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and extends toward the second end of the front cross beam 3 to form another "7"-shaped connection structure; furthermore, the two "7"-shaped connection structures and the front cross beam and the rear cross beam form a frame structure of the sub-frame assembly. In this way, due to the connection between the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first transverse portion 120 and the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second transverse portion The connection points of the two transverse portions 220 both have a large corner design, which is beneficial to force transmission in small offset collisions and can cause the vehicle to produce lateral (left and right directions of the vehicle body) displacement in the early stage of the collision. Compared with the subframe structure without two "7"-shaped connection structures, the present invention can greatly improve the cross-sectional force of the subframe assembly in small offset collisions (the peak cross-sectional force can be increased from 90kN to 130kN, an increase of 44%) without the need for additional reinforcement of the vehicle body structure or addition of auxiliary safety configurations in the passenger compartment, thereby meeting the passenger compartment deformation requirements of small offset collisions, reducing the intrusion into the passenger compartment, and greatly improving the collision performance of the vehicle body structure. That is, the present invention can take into account both the economy and collision performance requirements of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the connection position of the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 in the present invention is set at the end of the "7" type connection structure (that is, the connection port of the first transverse portion 120 and the first end of the front cross beam 3), and the connection position of the front cross beam 3 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is set at the end of the "7" type connection structure (that is, the connection port of the second transverse portion 220 and the second end of the front cross beam 3). That is, the connection positions of the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 are all at the ends of the "7" type connection structure. In this way, it can be ensured that the collision of the two connection positions will not fail, thereby ensuring that the collapse of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is stable and effective.

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in FIG1 , a subframe front mounting point may be provided at a corner so that the subframe assembly can be mounted to the vehicle chassis via the subframe front mounting point, thereby further improving the force transmission effect of the subframe during a collision.

[0068] Furthermore, the first transverse reinforcing plate is welded between the first upper longitudinal plate 1120 and the first lower longitudinal plate 1110 , and the second transverse reinforcing plate 2130 is welded between the second lower longitudinal plate 2110 and the second upper longitudinal plate 2120 to enhance the connection stability between the first longitudinal portion 110 and the second longitudinal portion 210 .

It can be understood that the first upper cross plate 1220 is snap-fitted and installed on the first lower cross plate 1210 to form a first cross portion 120 connected to the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and extending toward the first end of the front cross beam 3 (i.e., a "7"-shaped connection structure); the second upper cross plate 2220 is snap-fitted and installed on the second lower cross plate 2210 to form a second cross portion 220 connected to the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and extending toward the second end of the front cross beam 3 (i.e., another "7"-shaped connection structure). In this way, a crush cavity with deformation energy absorption is formed between the first lower cross plate 1210 and the first upper cross plate 1220 of the first cross portion 120, and between the second lower cross plate 2210 and the second upper cross plate 2220 of the second cross portion 220, thereby further improving the anti-collision performance of the subframe.

[0072] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the first longitudinal portion 110 also includes a first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 arranged along the length direction of the first longitudinal portion 110 (that is, the extension direction of the first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 is roughly parallel to the length direction of the first longitudinal portion 110); the first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 connects the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first transverse portion 120; the second longitudinal portion 210 also includes a second tangential reinforcing plate 2160 arranged along the length direction of the second longitudinal portion 210 (that is, the extension direction of the second tangential reinforcing plate 2160 is roughly parallel to the length direction of the second longitudinal portion 210); the second tangential reinforcing plate 2160 connects the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second transverse portion 220. It can be understood that the first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 is located in the first crushing space and is arranged along the length direction of the first longitudinal portion 110. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in FIG6 , the first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 can be arranged tangent to the arc corresponding to the curvature of the first longitudinal portion 110. Moreover, a portion of the first tangential reinforcing plate 2150 is mounted on the first longitudinal portion 110 and extends to the first transverse portion 120, while another portion is mounted on the first transverse portion 120. Similarly, the second tangential reinforcing plate 2160 can be arranged tangent to the arc corresponding to the curvature of the second longitudinal portion 210. Moreover, a portion of the second tangential reinforcing plate 2160 is mounted on the second longitudinal portion 210 and extends to the second transverse portion 220, while another portion is mounted on the second transverse portion 220. By setting the first tangential reinforcement plate 2150 in this embodiment, the bending mode of the first longitudinal beam 1 can be increased (the bending mode is increased from 200 Hz to 240 Hz); and the setting of the second tangential reinforcement plate 2160 can also increase the bending mode of the second longitudinal beam 2 (the bending mode is increased from 200 Hz to 240 Hz).

[0073] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the subframe assembly further includes a first transverse rib 6 disposed transversely on the first transverse portion 120, and a second transverse rib 7 disposed transversely on the second transverse portion 220. It is understood that the first transverse rib 6 is disposed on both the first lower transverse plate 1210 and the first upper transverse plate 1220, and can induce deformation and energy absorption in the first transverse portion 120; the second transverse rib 7 is disposed on both the second lower transverse plate 2210 and the second upper transverse plate 2220, and can induce deformation and energy absorption in the second transverse portion 220; the design of the first transverse rib 6 and the second transverse rib 7 guides and controls the collapse position and direction of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 in the transverse direction (the left-right direction of the vehicle).

[0074] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the subframe assembly further includes a first longitudinal rib 8 disposed longitudinally at the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110, and a second longitudinal rib 9 disposed longitudinally at the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210. It is understood that the first longitudinal rib 8 is disposed at the front end of both the first lower longitudinal plate 1110 and the first upper longitudinal plate 1120, and the first longitudinal rib 8 can induce deformation and energy absorption in the first longitudinal portion 110; the second longitudinal rib 9 is disposed at the front end of both the second lower longitudinal plate 2110 and the second upper longitudinal plate 2120, and the second longitudinal rib 9 can induce deformation and energy absorption in the second longitudinal portion 210. The design of the first longitudinal rib 8 and the second longitudinal rib 9 guides and controls the longitudinal (fore-and-aft) collapse position and direction of the first and second longitudinal beams 1 and 2.

[0075] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the subframe assembly further includes a third transverse rib 10 disposed transversely at the rear end of the first longitudinal portion 110, and a fourth transverse rib 11 disposed transversely at the rear end of the second longitudinal portion 210. It is understood that the rear ends of the first lower longitudinal plate 1110 and the first upper longitudinal plate 1120 are both provided with the third transverse rib 10, which can induce deformation and energy absorption in the first longitudinal portion 110; and the rear ends of the second lower longitudinal plate 2110 and the second upper longitudinal plate 2120 are both provided with the fourth transverse rib 11, which can induce deformation and energy absorption in the second longitudinal portion 210. The design of the third and fourth transverse ribs can induce deformation of the rear section of the subframe, allowing the electric drive assembly to slip.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , the subframe assembly further includes transverse inducing ribs 12 and longitudinal inducing ribs 13 disposed on the rear cross member 4 , with the longitudinal inducing ribs 13 intersecting the transverse inducing ribs 12. It is understood that the transverse inducing ribs 12 are disposed on the rear cross member 4 in a transverse direction (in the left-right direction of the vehicle) of a first preset length, which can be set as needed, for example, 380 mm; and the longitudinal inducing ribs 13 are disposed on the rear cross member 4 in a longitudinal direction (in the front-back direction of the vehicle) of a second preset length, which can be set as needed, for example, 42 mm. The transverse inducing ribs 12 and longitudinal inducing ribs 13 intersecting on the rear cross member 4 can both increase the rigidity of the vehicle and enable slip-induced deformation of the electric drive assembly.

[0077] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the subframe assembly further includes a first crash box 14 connected to the front end of the first transverse portion 120 and having a first energy-absorbing space 1410, and a second crash box 15 connected to the front end of the second transverse portion 220 and having a second energy-absorbing space 1510. At least two crush ribs 16 are spaced apart within each of the first and second energy-absorbing spaces 1410, 1510. It is understood that the first and second crash boxes 14, 15 are symmetrically mounted on either side of the front cross member 3, forming a first crush zone of the subframe assembly. Under full head-on or offset collision conditions, the first and second energy-absorbing spaces 1410, 1510, of the first and second crash boxes 14, 15 are both crushed and deformed under load, thereby achieving crush energy absorption through the first and second crash boxes 14, 15, thereby enhancing collision energy absorption. Furthermore, at least two crushing ribs 16 are spaced apart within the first energy-absorbing space 1410 and the second energy-absorbing space 1510. The number of these crushing ribs 16 can be adjusted as needed, preferably to 10. The arrangement of these crushing ribs 16 creates a hollowed-out shape for the first and second energy-absorbing boxes 14, 15, making them more susceptible to deformation and energy absorption, while also improving compatibility with offset impacts. Furthermore, the first and second energy-absorbing boxes 14, 15 of the present invention also incorporate radiator mounting locations, allowing vehicle radiators to be installed in these locations.

[0078] In the above embodiment, under full head-on or offset collision conditions, the first energy absorption box 14 and the second energy absorption box 15 absorb the collision force and collapse to absorb energy. Then, the front cross beam 3 contacts the barrier, and the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 bear the main impact force. The first longitudinal portion 110 and the second longitudinal portion 210 in the middle section of the subframe bend and absorb energy at the first longitudinal rib 8 and the second longitudinal rib 9 respectively. Then, the first transverse portion 120 bends and absorbs energy under the induction of the first transverse rib 6, and the second transverse portion 220 bends and absorbs energy under the induction of the second transverse rib 7; then, the first longitudinal portion 110 and the second longitudinal portion 210 in the rear section of the subframe bend and absorb energy at the third transverse rib 10 and the fourth transverse rib 11 respectively, thereby inducing the electric drive assembly to translate and slide in the direction of a certain angle. Under the small deviation condition, the first energy absorption box 14 and the second energy absorption box 15 contact the rigid barrier to crush and deform to absorb energy. The corners of the subframe collide with the rigid barrier and begin to produce lateral displacement. The first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 bend and deform to absorb energy.

[0079] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 , a first wave inducing surface 1420 is provided on the outer wall of the first crash box 14, and a second wave inducing surface 1520 is provided on the outer wall of the second crash box 15. The wave extension directions of the first wave inducing surface 1420 and the second wave inducing surface 1520 are perpendicular to the front crossbeam 3. It can be understood that the wave extension direction of the first wave inducing surface 1420 refers to the wave propagation direction on the first wave inducing surface 1420, and the wave extension direction of the second wave inducing surface 1520 refers to the wave propagation direction on the second wave inducing surface 1520. In this embodiment, the wave propagation direction of the first wave inducing surface 1420 on the outer wall of the first crash box 14 is perpendicular to the front crossbeam 3, and the wave propagation direction of the second wave inducing surface 1520 on the outer wall of the second crash box 15 is perpendicular to the front crossbeam 3. This ensures that the first and second wave inducing surfaces 1420, 1520, can achieve stable collapse of the first and second crash boxes 14, 15 in the event of a collision.

[0080] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, the thickness of the first transverse portion 120 and the front cross-beam 3 is less than the thickness of the first longitudinal portion 110; and the thickness of the second transverse portion 220 and the front cross-beam 3 is less than the thickness of the second longitudinal portion 210. It is understood that the first transverse portion 120 and the front cross-beam 3 may be thin plates, and the first longitudinal portion 110 may be a tubular beam having a large moment of inertia and bending moment resistance. That is, the thickness of the first transverse portion 120 and the front cross-beam 3 is less than that of the first longitudinal portion 110, and the first transverse portion 120, the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110, and the front cross-beam 3 are connected to form a V-shaped structure (that is, the first transverse portion 120 is connected between the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and the front cross-beam 3, and the angle between the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and the front cross-beam 3 is less than 90 degrees). Similarly, the second transverse portion 220 and the front cross beam 3 can be thin plate members, and the second longitudinal portion 210 can be a tubular beam with a large cross-sectional inertia moment and bending moment resistance. That is, the plate thickness of the second transverse portion 220 and the front cross beam 3 is less than the plate thickness of the second longitudinal portion 210, and the second transverse portion 220, the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and the front cross beam 3 are connected to form a V-shaped structure (that is, the second transverse portion 220 is connected between the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and the front cross beam 3, and the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 is connected to the front cross beam 3). As shown in FIG1 , under the action of a large collision force, the first transverse portion 120, the front transverse beam 3 and the second transverse portion 220 are more susceptible to collapse and deformation due to the thinner thickness of the plates, while the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 form an outward-facing "X" structure. As the collision barrier continues to penetrate into the vehicle body from the front transverse beam 3 toward the rear transverse beam 4 in the longitudinal direction, the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 bend, achieving a "V"-shaped bending effect under head-on collision, which can meet the need for the drive motor to sink and reduce intrusion damage to the passenger compartment.

[0081] Understandably, in further embodiments, the first transverse portion 120 may extend a port toward the first longitudinal portion 110 to facilitate docking with the first longitudinal portion 110, and the second transverse portion 220 may extend a port toward the second longitudinal portion 210 to facilitate docking with the second longitudinal portion 210. Furthermore, the front crossbeam 3, rear crossbeam 4, first transverse portion 120, and second transverse portion 220 may all be stamped tubular beam parts, and the wall thickness of the front crossbeam 3 and rear crossbeam 4 may be 1.5 mm. Furthermore, the first longitudinal portion 110 and second longitudinal portion 210 may be hydroformed tubular beam parts, and the wall thickness of the first longitudinal portion 110 and second longitudinal portion 210 may be set to 2.8 mm.

[0082] In the present invention, the subframe assembly, as a platform component, must meet the collision performance requirements of different axle loads from A00-class vehicles to A-class vehicles within the platform planning. In order to achieve the best economy, different subframe assemblies can be designed differently. Specifically, in this embodiment, there is no need to change the main structure, but only by changing the plate thickness of the above-mentioned tubular beam stamping parts such as the front crossbeam 3, the rear crossbeam 4, the first transverse part 120, the second transverse part 220, etc. to achieve overall coverage of A00 to A-class collision performance. For example, for an A00-class vehicle with a full load of 1600kg, the plate thickness of the tubular beam stamping part is set to 1.5mm, which can meet the requirement of 80kN for the longitudinal beam collision peak force. For an A-class vehicle with a full load of 2050kg, the plate thickness of the tubular beam stamping part is set to 1.8mm, which can meet the requirement of 110kN for the longitudinal beam collision peak force.

[0083] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 7, the subframe assembly further includes a first induction groove 25 and a second induction groove 26 spaced apart on the first longitudinal portion 110, and a third induction groove 27 and a fourth induction groove 28 spaced apart on the second longitudinal portion 210; the first induction groove 25 is located between the first transverse portion 120 and the second induction groove 26; the third induction groove 27 is located between the second transverse portion 220 and the fourth induction groove 28. It can be understood that the first induction groove 25 and the second induction groove 26 are two bending portions on the first longitudinal portion 110, and the third induction groove 27 and the fourth induction groove 28 are two bending portions on the second longitudinal portion 210. When the head-on collision force is transmitted, the above-mentioned bending portions can induce the first longitudinal portion 110 and the second longitudinal portion 210 to undergo a "V"-shaped bending to absorb energy. In this way, when subjected to a head-on collision, it can be ensured that the electric drive assembly sinks into the "V"-shaped portion, so that the electric drive cannot invade the passenger compartment, thereby reducing the intrusion damage to the passenger compartment. The above-mentioned "V"-shaped bending energy absorption structure can greatly improve the frontal collision performance of the subframe assembly without the need to additionally strengthen the body structure or increase the auxiliary safety configuration of the passenger compartment.

[0084] In the above embodiment of the present invention, the first energy absorbing box 14 and the second energy absorbing box 15 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front crossbeam 33 to form a first crush energy absorbing zone of the subframe; the first transverse portion 120, the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110, the front crossbeam 33, the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second transverse portion 220 constitute a second crush energy absorbing zone; the first induction groove 25, the second induction groove 26, the third induction groove 27, the fourth induction groove 28, the area where the first induction groove 25 and the second induction groove 26 are provided on the first longitudinal portion 110, and the area where the third induction groove 27 and the fourth induction groove 28 are provided on the second longitudinal portion 210 constitute a bending energy absorbing zone, wherein the first induction groove 25 and the second induction groove 26 are the bending parts on the first longitudinal beam 1, the third induction groove 27 and the fourth induction groove 28 are provided The guide groove 28 is the bending part on the second longitudinal beam 2; the first crumple energy absorbing zone, the second crumple energy absorbing zone and the bending energy absorbing zone are arranged in sequence along the direction from the front cross beam 3 to the rear cross beam 4 of the subframe. In the case of offset collision and head-on collision, the first crumple energy absorbing zone first bears the collision force and crushes to absorb energy, and then the second crumple energy absorbing zone continues to bear the collision force and deforms to absorb energy. Afterwards, the first induction groove 25 and the second induction groove 26 on the first longitudinal portion 110 bend and absorb energy, and the third induction groove 27 and the fourth induction groove 28 on the second longitudinal portion 210 bend and absorb energy; in this way, through the structural design of the above three areas (the first crumple energy absorbing zone, the second crumple energy absorbing zone and the bending energy absorbing zone), the longitudinal space can be utilized to absorb the collision energy to the maximum extent, thereby achieving better small offset collision and head-on collision effects.

[0085] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 are arranged in an outward-facing "X" configuration. The longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is such that, based on the upper surface of the middle portion of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2, the vehicle body mounting front point is 20-30 mm higher in the Z-direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction of the subframe assembly in FIG3 ) (a Z-direction height above this range will cause the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 to bend prematurely in a small offset collision, failing to meet the required cross-sectional force; a Z-direction height below this range will prevent the subframe assembly from achieving V-shaped bending in a head-on collision).

[0086] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the subframe assembly further includes a first suspension mounting bracket 17 mounted on the front cross beam 3, and a second suspension mounting bracket 18 mounted on the second transverse portion 220; the subframe assembly further includes a first calf protection bracket 19 mounted on the first transverse portion 120, and a second calf protection bracket 20 mounted on the front cross beam 3, the second calf protection bracket 20 being located between the first suspension mounting bracket 17 and the second suspension mounting bracket 18. It can be understood that the first suspension mounting bracket 17 and the second suspension mounting bracket 18 are used to install the front suspension. The first suspension mounting bracket 17 and the second suspension mounting bracket 18 span the front cross beam 3 and the second longitudinal beam 2 on the subframe frame to ensure the integrity of the front end of the subframe, so as to improve the connection strength between the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2; the first calf protection bracket 19 and the second calf protection bracket 20 are used to install the calf protection device. The first calf protection bracket 19 and the second calf protection bracket 20 span the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 on the subframe frame to facilitate collision force transmission.

[0087] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the subframe assembly further includes a first front mounting bracket 21, a second front mounting bracket 22, a first rear mounting bracket 23, and a second rear mounting bracket 24, all for mounting a lower swing arm.

The first rear mounting bracket 23 is mounted on an end of the first longitudinal portion 110 away from the first transverse portion 120, and the second rear mounting bracket 24 is mounted on an end of the second longitudinal portion 210 away from the second transverse portion 220. It will be understood that the first front mounting bracket 21 and the first rear mounting bracket 23 are disposed on the first longitudinal beam 1, and the second front mounting bracket 22 and the second rear mounting bracket 24 are disposed on the second longitudinal beam 2, all for mounting a swing arm.

[0088] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG6 , the subframe assembly further includes a first sleeve 29, a second sleeve 30, a third sleeve 31, and a fourth sleeve 32 for mounting the steering gear. The first sleeve 29 is mounted on the first transverse portion 120, the second sleeve 30 is mounted on the second transverse portion 220, the third sleeve 31 is mounted on an end of the first longitudinal portion 110 distal from the first transverse portion 120, and the fourth sleeve is mounted on an end of the second longitudinal portion 210 distal from the second transverse portion 220. It will be appreciated that, as shown in FIG6 , the first sleeve 29, the second sleeve 30, the third sleeve 31, and the fourth sleeve 32 are all steel round tubes and are respectively arranged at the four symmetrical corners of the subframe assembly's frame structure: the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, providing a stable mounting location for the steering gear.

[0089] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG6 , the subframe assembly further includes a fifth bushing 33 and a sixth bushing 34 for connecting to the vehicle body. The fifth bushing 33 is installed at the connection between the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first end of the rear cross member 4, and the sixth bushing 34 is installed at the connection between the second longitudinal portion 210 and the second end of the rear cross member 4. It will be appreciated that the fifth bushing 33 is provided at the connection between the rear end of the first longitudinal member 1 and the first end of the rear cross member 4, and the sixth bushing 34 is provided at the connection between the rear end of the second longitudinal member 2 and the second end of the rear cross member 4. The fifth bushing 33 and the sixth bushing 34 can be used to securely connect the vehicle body and the subframe.

[0090] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned subframe assembly. In the vehicle in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the first longitudinal portion 110 of the first longitudinal beam 1 of the subframe assembly is connected to the rear cross beam 4, and the first transverse portion 120 is connected to the front end of the first longitudinal portion 110 and extends to the first end direction of the front cross beam 3 to form a "7" type connection structure; similarly, the second longitudinal portion 210 of the second longitudinal beam 2 is connected to the rear cross beam 4, and the second transverse portion 220 is connected to the front end of the second longitudinal portion 210 and extends to the second end direction of the front cross beam 3 to form another "7" type connection structure; furthermore, the frame structure of the subframe assembly formed between the two "7" type connection structures and the front cross beam and the rear cross beam, in this way, due to the connection between the first longitudinal portion 110 and the first transverse portion 120 and the second longitudinal portion The connection between 210 and the second transverse portion 220 has a large corner design, which is conducive to the transmission of force in small offset collisions and can cause the vehicle to produce lateral (left and right directions of the vehicle body) displacement in the early stage of the collision. Compared with the subframe structure without two "7"-shaped connection structures, the present invention can greatly improve the cross-sectional force of the subframe assembly in small offset collisions (the peak cross-sectional force can be increased from 90kN to 130kN, an increase of 44%) without the need for additional reinforcement of the vehicle body structure or addition of auxiliary safety configurations in the passenger compartment, meet the passenger compartment deformation requirements of small offset collisions, reduce the intrusion into the passenger compartment, and greatly improve the collision performance of the vehicle body structure. That is, the present invention can take into account the economy and collision performance requirements of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the connection position of the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 in the present invention is set at the end of the "7" type connection structure (that is, the connection port of the first transverse portion 120 and the first end of the front cross beam 3), and the connection position of the front cross beam 3 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is set at the end of the "7" type connection structure (that is, the connection port of the second transverse portion 220 and the second end of the front cross beam 3). That is, the connection positions of the front cross beam 3 and the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 are all at the ends of the "7" type connection structure. In this way, it can be ensured that the collision of the two connection positions will not fail, thereby ensuring that the collapse of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is stable and effective.

[0091] The above are merely embodiments of the subframe assembly and vehicle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
