    摘要: A spatial frame structure of a vehicle designed for connecting structural assemblies. The described frame construction allows the use of interchangeable high-capacity fuel tanks. As a result, most structural assemblies are mounted to the outside of the frame, thus creating additional space in which elements of alternative fuel and energy source systems (e.g. natural gas tanks, electric batteries) can be assembled. This makes it possible to increase the working time of the agricultural vehicle. The frame construction comprises rigidly interconnected longitudinal tubular beams, transverse, perpendicular and diagonally arranged structural pipes, additionally connecting stiffness elements. The structure includes fastening elements for connecting the following structural assemblies: rear wheel hubs, which are assembled with electric drives; mechanical implement coupling device; structure of replaceable fuel tanks; door platform; folding driver's cab; chassis steering axle with electric drive; side component containers; power plant; mechanical coupling device for trailers and semi-trailers.

    摘要: A mounting system for mounting a tank to a space frame comprises a side mount configured to mount the tank to a center upper frame connection of the space frame, and a bottom mount configured to mount the tank to an elongate support member of the space frame. The bottom mount and the side mount are distinct mounts and configured to be mounted to the tank in a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. The bottom mount and the side mount are coupled to a bottom and a rear side of the tank, respectively, and together are configured to mount the tank to the space frame.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle rear body structure in which a meeting section is constructed at an upper corner of a rear gate opening that is opened rearward in a body rear portion, and in the meeting section, a roof side rail that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction in a body side portion and a rear header that extends in a vehicle width direction in the body rear portion meet. The vehicle rear body structure that improves rigidity of the body rear portion while suppressing relative displacement between the rear header and the roof side rail.

    摘要: A vehicle frame includes a first structural member and an energy absorbing structure connected to the first structural member. The first structural member extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction. An energy absorbing structure is connected to the first structural member. The energy absorbing structure includes a first fixed member, an impact member and a connecting member. The first fixed member is connected to the first structural member. The impact member is connected to the first structural member. A connecting member is movably connected to the first fixed member and has a first end fixed to the impact member such that movement of the impact member moves the connecting member about the first fixed member.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods are provided for a chassis for an off-road vehicle that includes a chassis strut support. The chassis is a welded-tube variety of chassis that includes a front portion and a rear portion that are joined to an intervening passenger cabin portion. The chassis strut support includes one or more front strut braces for distributing loading on a front strut crossmember by front struts to at least a dash bar comprising the passenger cabin portion. In one embodiment, first and second front strut braces are joined to locations of the front strut crossmember that are above the front struts and extend to locations of the dash bar that are joined by first and second windshield braces. The windshield braces comprise a canopy that extends over the passenger cabin portion and contributes to the structural integrity of the entire chassis.

    摘要: A front upper frame connection casting can comprise a vertical front upper frame connection boss oriented in a first downward direction and configured to weldably attach to a first elongate support member; a rearward angular front upper frame connection boss oriented in a second downward direction and configured to weldably attach to a second elongate support member different from the first elongate support member; and a center cast section castably attached to the vertical front upper frame connection boss and the rearward angular front upper frame connection boss. The center cast section can have a top surface configured to weldably attach to a front upper body support and frame connection fabrication of a space frame of a rear haul truck.

    摘要: A front body structure of a vehicle includes: a closed loop member projected on a front surface of a body to form a closed loop such that both sides of the closed loop are coupled to front ends of front side members at both sides of the body, a back beam assembly coupled to a front part of the closed loop member, and lower reinforcement members connecting a lower portion of the closed loop member, at both sides thereof, to a front part of a subframe.
