Background technology
Beam is widely used in each industrial circle, and as bridge, building, engineering goods etc., in general, beam structurally plays supporting and interconnect function, is used to strengthen integrally-built contact, guarantees the globality of structure.
And for the beam that is applied in the power machine (as automobile), except the above-mentioned functions effect, to transmit various twist moments toward contact, thereby require beam not only to have enough rigidity, also to have certain flexibility, so that this beam can normally be worked, can guarantee the transmission of moment, can guarantee the fastness of structural entity again.Thereby, for the beam that above-mentioned requirements is arranged, be usually designed to the U type cross section that twists easily, thereby satisfy the requirement that beam transmits twist moment, this when playing a supporting role, the beam that also is used for transfer torque generally is also referred to as turns round beam.
Existing turn round the cross section that beam has and be generally wide single U type structure.Though this structure can be transmitted twist moment well, but it is big or when being subjected to impacting when turning round the beam load, turn round Liang Haiyao and bear bigger flexure stress, and owing to the bending stiffness of turning round beam with wide single U type cross section is limited, thereby it is shorter that this kind of working in bearing the heavier occasion of flexure stress turned round the beam work life.
For the suspension in the vehicle, as shown in Figure 1, generally comprise and turn round beam 1, elastic system and vibration insulating system (not shown), wherein, two ends turning round beam 1 have a pair of trailing arm 2 respectively, trailing arm 2 is along the vehicle body longitudinal extension, and the front end 3 of trailing arm 2 is supported in the vehicle body (not shown), and the rear end 4 of trailing arm 2 is supported in the wheel (not shown).When vehicle in driving process, turn round beam when supporting vehicle body, also want can be between wheel and vehicle body transfer torque, thereby thereby the cross-sectional plane of turning round beam 1 be generally to twist easily and be convenient to wide single U type structure of transfer torque, as shown in Figure 2.
When vehicle in driving process, especially be applied with than heavy load, sharply turning, when colliding suddenly with the ground protrusion, turn round the effect that beam 1 is subjected to bigger flexure stress, the downside of turning round beam 1 is subjected to the effect of tensile stress, make and turn round beam and occur bending and deformation, and the effect of upside compression chord, thereby the downside of turning round beam often at first occurs destroying than upside.Thereby, require to turn round beam 1 usually and have enough bending stiffnesies.And that existing suspension limited major cause in service life just is to turn round the bending stiffness of beam 1 is limited.

According to the suspension that the utility model provides, because this is turned round beam and has such shape of cross section, the beam of turning round of the traditional suspension identical with cross-sectional area is compared, and this is turned round beam and has relatively large bending stiffness, thereby is improved the service life of this suspension.
The specific embodiment
Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings the specific embodiment of the present utility model is described.Because that uses in the suspension that provides of the utility model turns round beam as what the utility model provided, thereby, hereinafter, to be described in detail turning round beam in conjunction with suspension, but those of ordinary skills should be understood that, the beam of turning round that the utility model provides is not limited to be applied in the suspension of vehicle, but can be applied in any identical or similar workplace.
The cross-sectional plane of turning round beam that the utility model provides is made up of a plurality of U types that vary in size, and described a plurality of U types stack in the same way and less U type is positioned at bigger U type, the end of described a plurality of U types be connected to each other and adjacent U type between have hollow space.
Like this, turning round beam with the tradition with same cross-sectional area compares, the beam of turning round in the utility model has bigger bending stiffness (turning round beam with the tradition with same size compares, this turns round beam under the prerequisite that does not reduce bending stiffness, saved material, improved the degree of utilization of material, thereby reduced manufacturing cost).
As shown in Figure 4, for the ease of turning round the processing and manufacturing of beam, in the preferred case, the described U type 3 of turning round beam is made of two U types, comprise outer U type 5 and size interior U type 6 less than this outer U type 5, in described U type 6 be positioned at described outer U type 5 and described U type 6 identical with the opening direction of outer U type 5, the end of described interior U type 6 and outer U type 5 is connected by connecting bridge 7, has hollow space 8 between U type 5 and the interior U type 6 outside described.
Here alleged U type, and the shape of nonessential and letter U is identical, but for the U type or be similar to U type shape and get final product.
A pair of U type 3 comprises larger-size outer U type 5 and the less interior U type 6 of size, and interior U type 6 places in the outer U type 5, and the two keeps opening direction identical, as shown in Figure 4, is equivalent to two U types and is superimposed.The open side of described outer U type 5 and interior U type 6 interconnects by connecting bridge 7, has the gap between U type 5 and the interior U type 6 outside, like this, is limited by outer U type 5, interior U type 6 and connecting bridge 7 and to form hollow space 8.
