Detailed Description
In accordance with the concepts of the present application, an embodiment of a vehicle engine front cover 100 is described herein with reference to fig. 1 and 2. Specifically, the vehicle engine front cover 100 includes a steel plate layer 110, a damping layer 120, and an aluminum plate layer 130, which are sequentially arranged. Among them, the aluminum sheet layer 130 is disposed at a side facing the engine in order to reduce the entire weight of the front cover as much as possible, and the steel sheet layer 110 is disposed at a side facing away from the engine in order to improve the strength of the front cover as much as possible against external impact. More importantly, the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130 are adhered to each other and riveted by the rivet 140 penetrating through the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130. Under the arrangement, because two fixing modes of bonding and riveting are simultaneously implemented on the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130, the NVH performance of the engine is effectively improved, on one hand, the bonding and fixing capacity among the plate layers of the composite material is improved, and the delamination phenomenon of the damping layer 120 is avoided; on the other hand, the manufacturing cost is also greatly reduced.
With regard to the engine front cover, how to design the specific structure of the plies that make up its composite material will directly affect its overall performance, as will be exemplarily described below.
The comprehensive structure of the composite material engine front cover is to improve NVH performance, reduce weight and increase structural strength as much as possible. Among them, the improvement of NVH performance is mainly attributed to the contribution of the damping layer 120, the increase of structural strength is mainly attributed to the contribution of the steel deck 110, and the reduction of weight is mainly attributed to the replacement of a part of the steel deck 110 structure with the aluminum slab layer 130. Under comprehensive consideration, the thickness of the steel deck 110 can be set to be 1mm by adopting a finite element size optimization method; the thickness of the aluminum plate layer 130 is set to be 2 mm; and the thickness of the damping layer 120 is set to 0.2-0.5 mm. It should be appreciated that the foregoing parameters, or others, may be selected in part as long as they meet the relevant design requirements of the engine front cover, given the teachings of the foregoing disclosure.
In addition, regarding material selection and manufacturing, as a class of embodiments, the steel layer 110 may be manufactured by stamping a stainless steel plate or a galvanized steel plate; the aluminum plate layer 130 may be manufactured by cast aluminum alloy stamping; and the damping layer 120 may be made of viscoelastic resin. In addition, the rivets 140 may be made of cast aluminum alloy, which also facilitates weight reduction.
As an improvement on the details, a sealant may be further applied to a rivet point where the rivet 140 penetrates through the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120, and the aluminum plate layer 130, so as to improve the overall bonding degree and sealing degree of the composite material, and prevent liquid or dust from penetrating into the inner side of the composite material through the rivet 140 hole, thereby affecting the bonding degree.
Furthermore, the riveting points and the riveting number of the rivets 140 can also be obtained by a finite element morphology optimization method. Specifically, the optimized positions may be set as the projected plane 150, and the rivet point may be fixed to the projected plane 150.
According to another aspect of the present application, although not shown in the drawings, there is provided a method of manufacturing a vehicle engine front cover 100, which can be used to manufacture the vehicle engine front cover 100 in any of the foregoing embodiments or a combination thereof.

The damping material is cut to form the damping layer 120. S200, sequentially stacking the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130, aligning the peripheries of the steel plate layer, the damping layer and the aluminum plate layer, and drilling a riveting hole 160 for riveting each composite material layer, a crankshaft central hole 170 for a crankshaft to penetrate through and a bolt hole 180 for connecting with a vehicle engine. 300, coating adhesive on the adjacent surfaces of the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130 to ensure enough adhesion between the composite material layers. And S400, riveting the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130 to realize final fixation among the composite materials. According to the engine front cover manufactured in the mode, two fixing modes of bonding and riveting are simultaneously implemented on the steel plate layer 110, the damping layer 120 and the aluminum plate layer 130, so that the NVH performance of the engine front cover is effectively improved, the bonding and fixing capacity among the plate layers of the composite material is improved, and the delamination phenomenon of the damping layer 120 is avoided; on the other hand, the manufacturing cost is also greatly reduced.
In addition, as a further optimization, after S400, the method may further include S500: sealant is applied to the junction of the rivet hole 160 and the rivet 140. Therefore, the overall combination degree and the sealing degree of the composite material are improved, and liquid or dust is prevented from permeating into the inner side of the composite material through the holes 140 of the rivet, so that the combination degree is not influenced. For another example, S600 may be further included between S400 and S500: the roughness of the surface of the aluminum sheet layer 130 facing the engine is polished to ensure that it meets engine design requirements. For another example, between S600 and S500, S700 may be further included: the levelness of the engine front cover with respect to the engine mating face is corrected.
According to still another aspect of the present application, although not shown in the drawings, there is also provided a vehicle including the vehicle engine front cover 100 according to any of the foregoing embodiments or a combination thereof, and thus having excellent NVH performance and low cost advantage as well.
