The frame structure crude solution

Before two of the most basic and simple frame body, this paper introduces a more complex integration space frame and tube Zhenshi frame.

The integration-frame:

1, the traditional integrated frame

The two no branched structure frame in the form introduced after the remainder of the two forms has a branched structure. The first is the integration of the frame design, called Monocoque. Integrated frame in the traditional sense, that is, the main frame, the load beam, the housing, etc. as a whole, and the various parts bonded by welding. Explained literally integrated design will be more complex, but standing on the point of view of the depot, the emergence of integrated design, production speed of the vehicle can make the unprecedented increase, although the need for production frame processing machine huge cost, production efficiency, automation equipment, widely used, so reduce the cost of production of single-piece parts, so some depot annual production capacity of one million, if it was the other agencies, it is impossible to achieve.

Frame Design of the RX-8, belonging to the more traditional integration layout.

FORD's Mustand is also traditional integration layout can be seen carrying beams, fender, etc., are all part of the frame by welding the various components are joined together.

Although almost all of the production models are integrated frame design, but it also has many disadvantages, such as weight and metal material consumption is inevitable, but because it has a good impact resistance, the effective use of space large, and many a little, this design is still preserved, more car manufacturers spare no effort to explore effective solution based on the design, which come out of a variety of integration in the form.

Jaguar's integrated aluminum frame, a change in the era of all sheet metal, aluminum can effectively solve the problem of corrosion, weight, but to increase the rigidity you need even greater mechanical design.
