Example 1
The present embodiment relates to a vehicle body front structure including, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, a front cabin having front cabin side members 1 provided separately on the left and right sides, front wheel house side members 3 provided on the side of each front cabin side member 1 closer to the outside of the vehicle, and a front end frame 4 provided between the bent portions of the front cabin side members 1 on both sides.
The front portions of the front side frames 1 on both sides are bent outward in the vehicle to form the outer extension 1a, and the front ends of the front wheel house side frames 3 on both sides are connected to the outer extension 1a on the same side. The rear ends of the front wheel cover side beams 3 on both sides are connected with a front windshield lower cross beam 26, and an oblique pull beam 25 is arranged between each side front wheel cover side beam3 and the front end frame 4, and meanwhile, the front end frame 4, the front windshield lower cross beam 26, the front wheel cover side beams 3 on both sides and the oblique pull beam 25 are also connected to form an annular structure.
At this time, the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 is bent outwards to form the outer extension section 1a, so that the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 can better participate in the small overlap collision, the effective transmission of the collision force by the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 can be utilized, and the safety of the small overlap collision is improved.
Meanwhile, through the arrangement of the diagonal bracing beams 25, the front end frame 4, the front windshield lower cross beams 26, the front wheel cover side beams 3 on two sides and the diagonal bracing beams 25 are connected to form an annular structure, the characteristic of high strength of the annular structure can be utilized, the overall rigidity of the front cabin position of the front part of the automobile body is increased, and the transmission and dispersion of collision force at the front cabin position are facilitated.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, as a preferred implementation manner, the front cabin rail 1 of the present embodiment may include, for example, a rail inner plate 101 and a rail outer plate 102 that are fastened together, and the two fastened together form a rail cavity to ensure the structural strength of the front cabin rail 1. Simultaneously, the longitudinal beam inner plate 101 and the longitudinal beam outer plate 102 are also integrally formed, and the front parts of the longitudinal beam inner plate 101 and the longitudinal beam outer plate 102 are bent towards the outer side of the automobile, so that the bending arrangement of the front part of the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 is realized.
Here, by the fact that the inner side member plate 101 and the outer side member plate 102 in the front cabin side member 1 are integrally formed, it is possible to secure the stability of the structure of the front cabin side member 1. In addition, it should be noted that, in a specific design, the distance between the bending portion of the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 on each side and the envelope of the wheel package of the front wheels on the same side should be generally set to be greater than 10 mm. Therefore, based on the arrangement of the space between the bending part of the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 and the envelope of the front wheel, interference with the front wheel can be avoided, and the smoothness of the movement of the front wheel is ensured.
In practical design, the distance between the bending portion of the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 on each side and the envelope of the front wheel on the same side may be specifically set to 10mm or 12mm, for example, and it is only necessary to ensure that no interference occurs between the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 and the front wheel.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the front side frames 1 are each connected with a connecting bracket 7 at a bent portion thereof based on the outward bending of the front side frame 1, and the front cabin of the present embodiment further has a front bumper beam assembly connected with the connecting brackets 7 on both sides. At this time, the front end frame 4 is specifically connected between the front bumper beam assembly and the two side connecting brackets 7, and the front bumper beam assembly includes the energy absorbing boxes 5 respectively connected to the two side connecting brackets 7, and the front bumper beam 6 connected to the two side energy absorbing boxes 5.
The connecting brackets 7 on each side can be stamping parts and welded into a box-shaped structure, and meanwhile, the connecting brackets 7 can also be arranged into a triangle shape from the top and bottom directions of the whole automobile so as to ensure the structural strength of the connecting brackets and meet the requirement of the connecting strength of each part at the front end of the front cabin.
Furthermore, the present embodiment can also connect the support cross member 8 between the two side connection brackets 7 based on the arrangement of the two side connection brackets 7. The cross section of the supporting cross beam 8 can be of an n-type, so that the supporting cross beam has better structural strength, and meanwhile, the two ends of the supporting cross beam 8 and the connecting brackets 7, and the connecting brackets 7 and the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 on the same side can be connected in a welding mode.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the front cabin side members 1, the front wheel cover side members 3, the diagonal tension members 25, the front end frames 4, and the connection brackets 7 on each side are also connected to form a ring structure based on the connection between the front wheel cover side members 3 and the front end frames 4 on both sides. Like this, connect through front cabin longeron 1, front wheel cover boundary beam 3, oblique beam 25, front end frame 4 and linking bridge 7 of each side and form annular structure, can utilize the characteristics that annular structural strength is big equally, increase the structural strength of front end both sides position to help promoting the security of whole car.
Still referring to fig. 1 to 4, and as shown in conjunction with fig. 6 and 7, the front nacelle of the present embodiment further has a front shock absorber 2 connected between the front nacelle side frame 1 and the front wheel cover side frame 3 on each side, respectively. Also, as a preferred embodiment, the side portions of the both-side front shock absorber 2 are provided with front reinforcing stringers 201, respectively, the front reinforcing stringers 201 being arranged in the height direction of the front shock absorber 2, and at the same time, the bottom ends of the both-side front reinforcing stringers 201 are connected together by a front cabin lower cross member 10 provided between the both-side front cabin stringers 1.
At this time, through the setting of the front reinforcing longitudinal beam 201 of the side part of the front shock absorber 2, the structural strength of the position of the front shock absorber 2 can be improved, the material thickness of the shock absorber can be reduced, and the weight reduction can be realized. Meanwhile, through the arrangement of the front cabin lower cross beam 10, transverse (namely left and right directions of the whole vehicle) connection can be formed between the front shock absorption towers 2 at two sides, so that the effect of improving the transverse rigidity of the front part of the vehicle body is achieved.
In particular, the front reinforcing stringers 201 on the side of the front shock absorber 2 on each side extend in the height direction of the front shock absorber 2, that is, in the overall vehicle height direction. In addition, in a specific arrangement, the front cabin lower cross member 10 is also connected between the tops of the front cabin stringers 1 on both sides, and at the same time, the front reinforcing stringers 201 on both sides are fastened to the front shock absorber 2 on the corresponding side, and form a front stringer cavity with the front shock absorber 2. At this time, a girder cavity is formed between the front reinforcing girder 201 and the front shock absorber 2, and the structural strength of the front reinforcing girder 201 itself can be improved by utilizing the characteristic that the cavity has a large structural strength.
In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the cross section of the front cabin lower cross member 10 of the present embodiment may also be provided in an "n" shape, and thus a lower cross member cavity is formed inside the front cabin lower cross member 10. The bottom of the lower cross beam cavity is open, and the two ends of the lower cross beam cavity are communicated with the front longitudinal beam cavities on the two sides. In this way, by making the front cabin lower cross member 10 take an "n" type cross section and forming a lower cross member cavity therein that is in communication with the side member cavity, it is possible to increase the structural strength of the front cabin lower cross member 10 itself on the one hand, and to ensure the reliability of the connection of the front cabin lower cross member 10 with the both-side front reinforcing side members 201 and the continuity of the force transmission passage formed therebetween on the other hand, thereby helping to ensure the structural reinforcing effect, and the collision force transmitting effect.
As a preferred embodiment, in addition to the front reinforcing side members 201 described above, the present embodiment is also provided with rear reinforcing side members 202 on the side portions of the front shock absorber 2 on each side, respectively. The rear reinforcing stringers 202 are arranged side by side behind the ipsilateral front reinforcing stringers 201, and the bottom ends of the two side rear reinforcing stringers 202 are connected to the ipsilateral front cabin stringers 1, while the top ends of the two side rear reinforcing stringers 202 are connected together by the front cabin upper cross member 9 provided between the tops of the two side front shock towers 2.
At this time, the arrangement of the rear reinforcing longitudinal beam 202 can further improve the structural strength of the position where the front shock absorber 2 is located, and is beneficial to reducing the material thickness of the shock absorber, so as to realize weight reduction. Of course, by arranging the front cabin upper cross member 9, a lateral (i.e., a left-right direction of the whole vehicle) connection can be added between the front shock towers 2 on both sides, so as to better promote the lateral rigidity of the front part of the vehicle body.
In particular, the bottom ends of the side rear reinforcement stringers 202 may be provided to each have an upper lap portion that overlaps the top end surface of the front cabin stringer 1 and a side lap portion that overlaps the side end surface of the front cabin stringer 1 facing the inside of the vehicle, as a preferred embodiment, based on the connection of the bottom ends of the side rear reinforcement stringers 202 to the front cabin stringer 1. The upper overlap joint portion and the side overlap joint portion are formed at the bottom end of the rear reinforcing longitudinal beam 202, and the rear reinforcing longitudinal beam 202 is connected with the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 through the upper overlap joint portion and the side overlap joint portion, so that the reliability of connection between the upper overlap joint portion and the side overlap joint portion can be improved, and the longitudinal reinforcing effect of the rear reinforcing longitudinal beam 202 can be improved.
In addition, as still shown in fig. 6, the two-sided rear reinforcing stringers 202 in this embodiment are also fastened to the front shock tower 2 and the front cabin stringer 1 and thereby also form rear stringer cavities with the front shock tower 2 and the front cabin stringer 1. At this time, the formation of the rear side member cavity can also use the characteristic of large structural strength of the cavity to increase the structural strength of the rear reinforcing side member 202 itself.
The front cabin upper cross member 9 of the present embodiment specifically includes a cross member main body 901, the left and right ends of which are connected to the top ends of the rear reinforcing stringers 202 on both sides, and a cross member sealing plate 902, which is connected between the tops of the front shock absorber towers 2 on both sides, corresponding to the above-described structural arrangement of the rear reinforcing stringers 202 and the formation of the rear stringer cavities.
The cross section of the beam main body 901 is U-shaped, and the beam main body 901 and the beam sealing plate 902 enclose an upper beam cavity, and two ends of the upper beam cavity are communicated with the rear longitudinal beam cavities on two sides. In addition, the two ends of the beam sealing plate 902 are also respectively lapped on the top of the front shock absorber 2 and are connected with the front shock absorber 2 in a welding manner, so that the connection between the two ends of the upper beam 9 of the front cabin and the front shock absorber 2 is realized, and the transverse connection strength of the upper beam 9 of the front cabin to the front shock absorbers 2 on the two sides can be further improved.
It will be appreciated that the front cabin upper beam 9 is formed by the beam main body 901 and the beam sealing plate 902, which is beneficial to the preparation of the front cabin upper beam 9, and meanwhile, the upper beam cavity is formed and communicated with the rear longitudinal beam cavity, and also can ensure the connection reliability between the front cabin upper beam 9 and the rear reinforcing longitudinal beams 202 on both sides, and ensure the consistency of the force transmission channel formed between the front cabin upper beam 9 and the rear reinforcing longitudinal beams 202, thereby being beneficial to improving the collision force transmission effect.
In addition, during implementation, the rear reinforcing longitudinal beams 202 positioned on two sides are preferably integrally processed and formed with the cross beam main body 901, so that the connection strength between the rear reinforcing longitudinal beams 202 and the front cabin upper cross beam 9 is further improved, the through effect between the upper cross beam cavity and the rear longitudinal beam cavities on two sides is improved, and the transmission dispersion effect on collision force is better. Of course, as a preferred implementation manner, the connection between the rear reinforcing longitudinal beam 202 and the cross beam main body 901 may adopt a smooth arc transition, so as to avoid abrupt structural changes at the connection, thereby facilitating improvement of force transfer efficiency.
It should be noted that, in the specific preparation, the front reinforcing longitudinal beam 201, the front cabin lower cross beam 10, the integrally formed cross beam main body 901, the two side rear reinforcing longitudinal beams 202, the cross beam sealing plates 902 and the like of the present embodiment may be formed by stamping, and the connection between the two members may be achieved by welding.
In addition, also as a preferred embodiment, when the front reinforcing side member 201 and the rear reinforcing side member 202 are provided on both sides, as further shown in fig. 6, the present embodiment is based on the side-by-side arrangement between the front reinforcing side member 201 and the rear reinforcing side member 202 on the same side, and the distance between the front reinforcing side member 201 and the rear reinforcing side member 202 on each side can be set to be smaller from bottom to top in the overall vehicle height direction.
In this way, by setting the distance between the front reinforcing side member 201 and the rear reinforcing side member 202 to be smaller from bottom to top, the "herringbone" structure can be formed integrally between the front reinforcing side member 201 and the rear reinforcing side member 202, and the reinforcing effect on the structure of the front shock absorber 2 can be improved. By contrast, in the present embodiment, by providing the front reinforcing side members 201 and the rear reinforcing side members 202 on the side portions, it is possible to reduce the material thickness of the front shock absorber 2 from 1mm to 0.7mm, and the overall weight reduction can be as high as 1.32kg.
In the present embodiment, the connection beam 22 is connected between the front nacelle upper cross member 9 and the front windshield lower cross member 26 as a preferable embodiment based on the arrangement of the front nacelle upper cross member 9. At this time, by arranging the connecting beam 22 between the front cabin upper beam 9 and the front windshield lower beam 26, not only the rigidity of the front side part of the front wall can be further increased, but also a force transmission channel can be increased between the front shock absorber 2 and the front windshield lower beam 26, which is helpful for improving the safety of the whole vehicle.
In a preferred embodiment, the connecting beams 22 may be a plurality of connecting beams arranged at intervals, and include, for example, a middle beam 2201 located in the middle, and side beams 2202 disposed on the left and right sides of the middle beam 2201, where each side beam 2202 is also disposed near the front shock absorber 2 on the same side. In this way, the connecting beams 22 are arranged at intervals, so that a better rigidity reinforcing effect can be achieved, more force transmission channels can be added, and the transmission of collision force is facilitated. And each side beam 2202 is disposed near the front shock absorber 2, so that the reinforcing capability of the front shock absorber 2 can be improved in the X direction (i.e., the front-rear direction of the whole vehicle), which contributes to the increase of the structural strength of the front shock absorber 2.
It is noted that when the support cross member 8 is provided, it can be seen that the front cabin lower cross member 10, the support cross member 8, and the front cabin side members 1 and the connecting brackets 7 on both sides of the present embodiment may also be connected to form a ring-shaped structure. Like this, through making preceding cabin underbeam 10, supporting beam 8 to and the front cabin longeron 1 and the linking bridge 7 of both sides connect and form annular structure, utilize the great characteristics of annular structural strength, increase the overall rigidity of front cabin bottom intermediate position to be favorable to the transmission dispersion of collision force at the front end of front cabin, in order to promote whole car collision security.
As a preferred embodiment, continuing with fig. 8, the front end frame 4 of the present embodiment specifically includes side brackets 401 provided separately on the left and right sides, and an upper bracket 402 connected between the top ends of the side brackets 401 on both sides. The side brackets 401 on both sides are connected between the energy absorption boxes 5 and the connecting brackets 7 on the same side, and the inclined-pulling beams 25 on both sides are connected on the upper bracket 402. Meanwhile, a lower cross beam 18 is also connected between the bottom ends of the side brackets 401 on both sides, and the lower cross beam 18 is lower than the front bumper beam 6 in the height direction of the whole vehicle.
In this case, both ends of the diagonal beam 25 may be connected to the front end frame 4 and the front wheel house side beam 3 by bolts in the concrete implementation. It can be understood that the front end frame 4 is connected and arranged between the energy-absorbing box 5 and the connecting bracket 7, and the lower cross beam 18 is connected to the bottom of the front end frame 4, so that the integrated arrangement of the front end structure of the vehicle body can be facilitated, and a new annular force transmission structure can be formed at the front end of the vehicle body through the front end frame 4 and the lower cross beam 18, so that the collision safety can be improved. In addition, it is also understood that by the arrangement of the lower cross member 18 lower than the front impact beam 6, it is also possible to prevent pedestrians from being involved in the vehicle bottom at the time of an impact, so that the pedestrian protection effect can be enhanced.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the lower beam 18 and the front end frame 4 may be made of plastic, and may be made of PP (polypropylene) or nylon, for example, which are common to those skilled in the art, through injection molding, so that the two components may be conveniently manufactured, and the lightweight design of the front cabin may be facilitated.
With continued reference to fig. 9, the present embodiment may make the distance between the front ends of the front cabin stringers 1 in the left-right direction of the whole vehicle greater than the distance between the left and right ends of the front bumper beam 6 in the left-right direction of the whole vehicle, based on the outward bending of the front portions of the front cabin stringers 1 on both sides, as a preferred embodiment.
In this way, the distance between the two ends of the front anti-collision beam 6 is smaller than the distance between the front ends of the front cabin longitudinal beams 1 on the two sides, so that the front cabin longitudinal beams 1 participate in small overlapping collision and have higher participation degree compared with the front anti-collision beam 6. Therefore, the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 can be utilized to effectively transmit collision force, so that the safety of small overlap collision is improved, and the safety quality of the whole vehicle is improved.
In the present embodiment, as further shown in fig. 9 and 10, the rear ends of the two side front cabin stringers 1 are each connected with a torsion box 12. The outside of each side torsion box 12 is connected with the threshold beam 19 and the A column 23 on the same side, the inside of each side torsion box 12 is connected with the middle channel reinforcing longitudinal beam 11 on the same side, meanwhile, the two side torsion boxes 12 are also connected through the connecting piece 13, and the front windshield lower cross beam 26, the connecting piece 13, the A column 23 on the two sides and the torsion box 12 are connected to form an annular structure.
It can be appreciated that by connecting the two side torsion boxes 12 via the connecting member 13, the overall transverse rigidity of the vehicle body can be increased by the connecting effect of the connecting member 13, and the through force transmission channel is increased between the two side torsion boxes, which is beneficial to the transmission of collision force between the left and right sides of the vehicle body.
In the implementation, as a preferred implementation manner, the two-side torsion boxes 12 may be configured to be in a herringbone shape, and have an outer box body 1201 and an inner box body 1202 connected together, where each side outer box body 1201 is connected to the same side sill beam 19, each side inner box body 1202 is connected to the same side middle channel reinforcing longitudinal beam 11, and the two-side inner box bodies 1202 are connected through the connecting piece 13. At this time, the present embodiment makes the torque box 12 have a herringbone shape, so that the collision force transmitted from the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 is transmitted to the left and right sides more uniformly, and the torque box 12 has high structural strength and is not easy to deform, so that the application effect of the torque box 12 can be improved.
In this embodiment, each side outer box 1201 is connected to the rear end of the front cabin longitudinal beam 1 on the same side, each side inner box 1202 is connected to one side of the outer box 1201 on the same side, and the outer box 1201 and the inner box 1202 can be made of sheet metal parts formed by stamping and connected by welding. In this way, the outer box body 1201 is connected with the front cabin longitudinal beam 1, and the inner box body 1202 is connected to one side of the outer box body 1201, which is not only beneficial to the overall design and molding of the torsion box 12, but also facilitates the arrangement of the torsion box 12 in the vehicle body.
In addition, in this embodiment, the outer box 1201 and the inner box 1202 on each side are also fastened on the front wall connecting plate 16, and a cavity is formed between the outer box 1201 and the inner box 1202 and the front wall connecting plate 16. Therefore, by forming the cavity between the inner and outer box bodies and the front wall connecting plate 16, the characteristic of high structural strength of the cavity can be utilized, and the structural strength of the positions of the inner and outer box bodies can be ensured so as to ensure the application effect of the inner and outer box bodies.
It should be noted that the front wall connecting plate 16 is connected between the dash panel 14 and the front floor 17, and the front portions of the center tunnel 15 and the center tunnel reinforcing stringers 11 on the left and right sides thereof, that is, the front portions are connected to the front wall connecting plate 16, and are connected to the bottom end of the dash panel 14. The center tunnel reinforcement stringers 11 are located at the bottom of the center tunnel 15 on both sides and are provided on both left and right sides of the center tunnel 15, and the center tunnel reinforcement stringers 11 are also provided to extend in the front-rear direction of the entire vehicle, as are the center tunnels 15.
It will be appreciated that, instead of having the outer and inner boxes 1201, 1202 each enclose a cavity with the front wall connection plate 16, it is of course possible to embody only one of the inner and outer boxes with the front wall connection plate 16.
In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the connector 13 may be a tubular beam, for example. At this time, the connecting piece 13 adopts a tubular beam, which is convenient for preparation, and meanwhile, the connection strength of the connecting piece 13 can be ensured.
