Off-Road Stabilizer Bar Bracket Layout for Load Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stabilizer bar support structures in off-road vehicles lack sufficient reinforcement to effectively distribute the load from the seat base frame, leading to reduced stability and durability, particularly when the stabilizer bar is positioned on the rear side with respect to the seat base frame.
Innovation Solution
A support structure that includes a vehicle body frame with a seat base frame and support frames, where a stabilizer bar couples right and left suspensions and is supported on the support frames through brackets, with the brackets receiving the load of the seat base frame, enhancing the structural integrity and positioning the stabilizer bar on the front side to reduce torsional deformation and improve durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the stabilizer bar is supported directly on the support frame without a bracket, then the structure is simpler, but the load distribution is insufficient and structural stability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
A bracket is introduced as an intermediary component between the stabilizer bar and the support frame. The bracket receives the load from the seat base frame through the support frame and transfers it to the stabilizer bar, effectively distributing the load and enhancing structural stability without significantly complicating the overall structure.
2Ease of manufacture
If the stabilizer bar is positioned on the rear side with respect to the seat base frame, then the installation is easier, but torsional deformation increases and durability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The position of the stabilizer bar is changed from the rear side to the front side with respect to the seat base frame. This parameter change reduces the torsional angle experienced by the stabilizer bar during vehicle operation, thereby improving durability and reliability while maintaining reasonable installation ease.
3Strength
If the bracket is attached to the support frame to receive the load, then the structural stiffness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed to perform multiple functions: it supports the stabilizer bar, receives the load from the seat base frame through the support frame, and provides a mounting structure for the stabilizer bar attachment. This multi-functionality allows the bracket to enhance structural stiffness without requiring additional separate components.

AI summary
A stabilizer bar support structure of an off-road vehicle includes a vehicle body frame having a seat base frame that supports a seat and a support frame that supports the seat base frame, a stabilizer bar that couples right and left suspensions to each other and is supported on the support frame, and a bracket attached to the support frame. The stabilizer bar is attached to the support frame through the bracket. The bracket receives the load of the seat base frame through the support frame.
