Abstract

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a vehicle using a front-wheel independent suspension of a universal device and a beam type front bridge. The beam type front bridge component comprises a pin lug at the front end of a steel plate spring, which is connected with the beam type front bridge suspension by bolts, wherein the pin lug is arranged on an installation position on the front end of a vehicle body component, and the front-wheel independent suspension component comprises auxiliary frames connected by bolts. The front wheel independent suspension has the installation position of a longitudinal positioning device of front wheels and an installation position of a transversal positioning device of the front wheels for fixing a connecting rod type suspension of a (McPherson) sliding column, and the front wheel independent suspension is installed on a universal front installation position which has the same vehicle body structure with the beam type front bridge.

Description

Method of manufacturing vehicles

The present invention relates on the modification vehicle of two kinds of different front suspension apparatus of installation, use the manufacture method of fexible unit.

Because make a kind of vehicle instrument and necessary equipment will be set, this needs a large amount of investments, so, when making vehicle, wish very much on various modification vehicles, to use same device as far as possible.

The light truck that load-carrying is about one ton needs an independently front wheel suspension system in theory, makes it travel and handle as minibus, otherwise, one more the goods carrying vehicle of heavy amount need the beam axle suspension system of a heavy lift.This different requirement makes the automobile of underload and heavy lift can not use a kind of general body structure that fexible unit is installed so far.

The invention provides the manufacture method of the vehicle of the front wheel independent suspension that uses fexible unit and beam front axle modification, it is characterized in that:

A) the beam front axle assembly comprises the steel spring front end pin ear of the Bolt Connection of beam axle suspension device, and this pin ear is contained on the installation site of body structure front portion.

B) independent front wheel suspension component comprises the sub frame with Bolt Connection, it has the installation site of installation (Mai Fuxun) traveller link-type front suspension wheel portraitlandscape registration device, it be contained in the anterior installation site of the general-duty of the same body structure of beam front axle on.

By embodiment and accompanying drawing the present invention is described now.

Fig. 1 is the broken-open perspective view with the front structure of the front wheel independent suspension automobile of the inventive method manufacturing.

Fig. 2 is the similar broken-open perspective view that vehicle shown in Figure 1 is installed the front structure of beam axle suspension.

Fig. 3 is the lateral plan of the front suspension apparatus of front wheel independent suspension vehicle among Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is the lateral plan of the front suspension apparatus of beam front axle vehicle among Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is the front elevation of a combination, the left side of center line be among Fig. 4 the beam axle suspension device along the section of hatching line Vb-Vb, the center line right side, be among Fig. 3 independent suspension frame unit along the section of hatching line Va-Va.

The method that the present invention makes vehicle comprises the assembling of the different schemes of the same foundation vehicle of using some universal components and common-use size, makes it can use identical equipment and makes.

The front-body structure of two tons of autotrucies, front wheel suspension device and steering hardware have been showed in the left side of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.Body structure comprises that label is the straight frame of 10 and 12 channel-section, each vehicle frame 10 has two blocks of plates 13 that stretch downwards, they are welded on respectively on the two sides of each vehicle frame front end, and

formation installation site

14 and 16, the plate 13 that extends is reinforced by flange 15 downwards, and the bolt that laterally runs through links the front

end mounting bush

18,20 and the

anterior installation site

14 and 16 of

front spring spring

22 and 24.

The end of

steel spring

22,24 is connected with

installation site

32,34 on the

frame member

10 and 12 by hanger 28,30.The beam step, propons 36 was fixed on the

steel spring

22,24, and the wheel hub 38 of supporting wheel 40 pivotally is connected in the two ends of beam front axle.

Bearing circle 42 is installed in the top that is supported on the steering shaft 44 on the bodywork component by bearing 46, and the steering shaft 50 of direction joint 48 and below links the steering shaft and the recirculating ball-type steering gear 52 of top.Left side wheel hub 38 links by steering track rod 54 and steering hardware 52, and links by the wheel hub of intermediate rod 56 with opposite side.

Shock absorber 58 links up wheel hub 38 and the bodywork component that is positioned at installation site, shock absorber top 60.

The right-hand part of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 has been showed front structure, front suspension apparatus and the steering hardware of one ton of autotruck.Its some parts and draw bail are identical with two tons of automobile schemes among other figure, and identical parts give identical label with harpoint.

Body structure comprises and the essentially identical

straight frame parts

10 and 12 that extend in parallel of beam front axle.Sub frame 62 has an inversion channel-section steel that extends forward that is installed in the

frame member

10,12 to hang 64, and links with

anterior installation site

14,16 by the bolt 26 that laterally runs through.The rear portion of sub frame 62 is made of the spring seat of honour part 66 that is connected on the

frame member

10,12 by reinforcement bearing 68.

One ton of autotruck scheme is equipped with (Mai Fuxun) traveller link-type front suspension that comprises shock absorber guiding tubing string 70, each shock absorber guiding tubing string has the wheel hub 72 that is contained in its lower end, its upper end links with shock absorber installation site 60, each wheel 40 is located from the side by horizontal swing arm 74, horizontal swing arm is connected on the sub frame 62 by pivot pin sleeve pipe 76, and is connected on the cooresponding wheel hub 72 by spherical connection 75.

Torsion bar 78 extends through the lining 80 on the forearm 64 that is contained in sub frame 62, and the end 82 that extends back in the lining 84 that is installed in the horizontal swing arm 74 is arranged, and it constitutes a wheel longitudinal register and anti-rolling device.

Axle spring 86 is worked between the spring seat of honour 66 of spring lower seat in the horizontal swing arm 74 88 and sub frame 62.
