Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to a connection bolster (10) which is developed by reinforcing with composite material in order to contribute to energy conservation in the vehicle. Mentioned connection bolster (10) has a layered structure and generally works in the shear and compression directions.
Different materials that can be substituted for all metal materials used has been investigated and it has been observed that carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced composite materials can be used instead of them. Thus, a great weight advantage has been achieved in the present innovative product. In the present invention, an additional contribution is provided to reduce weight of the vehicle by increasing the thickness of the composite material in the lower plate (11) and the upper plate (12) and changing the design (thickness reduction etc.) of the region where the connection bolster (10) will be mounted. This reduction in vehicle weight is possible by the reduction in the weight of mentioned region (opposite side corresponding in the vehicle) thanks to the change made in the design of said region where the connection bolster (10) will be mounted.
Since the polymer-based composite materials used in the present invention are suitable for recycling, it contributes to improvement in the important issues such as environmental protection and energy efficiency. In the present innovative connection bolster (10), an additional contribution is provided to reduce weight of the vehicle by increasing the thickness of the composite material in the lower plate (11) and the upper plate (12) and changing the design of the region where the connection bolster (10) will be mounted. The preferred embodiment of the invention consists of composite materials at the top and bottom sides and consists of layered rubber compound and composite materials at the region between top and bottom sides.
The compression of present innovative connection bolster (10) differs proportionally in accordance with the force applied. The ratio of springiness in the A direction to the springiness in the B direction which are shown in Figure 3 is between 5 (minimum) and 20 (maximum).
The top view of the present innovative connection bolster (10) is given in Figure 2 and its bottom view is given in Figure 4. Between the lower plate (11) and upper plate (12) which are shown in the figures, there is a layered section (13) consisting of rubber compound and composite material. There is a reinforced rib geometry (14) on the lower plate (11 ) and upper plate (12) which are made of composite material.
Bolt connection is used due to the structure of the plates in the lower and upper parts and, when the vehicle wheel is idle, it carries weight by being loaded and provides the balance in this direction.
As seen in Figure 5, in the present innovative connection bolster (10), in order to the layered section (13) to not be forced in the tensile direction; it is ensured that the lower plate (11) and the upper plate (12) are connected to each other by a flexible connection piece (20) (hinged bolt, chain, steel rope, composite rope) that does not carry momentum but can withstand very high tensile loads in the vertical direction. There is a connection hole (10.1) that extends along the middle of both plates (11, 12) and of layered section (13) for allowing mentioned connection piece (20) to pass through inside.
As seen in Figure 6, when the vehicle wheel is idle, the connection piece (20) in the structure of the present innovative connection bolster (10) carries weight by being loaded and provides the balance in this direction. The connection bolster (10) positioned between the leaf spring and truck axle, is exposed to the truck weight including itself and dynamic loads coming from the road. The compression of the connection bolster (10) in the vertical direction and its sliding (shear) motion relative to the connection axis reduce these effects.
The feature of the present invention is that the lower plate (11), upper plate (12) and layered section (13) are structures (composite, all kinds of metal alloys, polymer derivatives, glass-reinforced and/or carbon reinforced polymer derivatives or materials in which two or more of these materials are hybridized by being mixed in different proportions) which are produced from more rigid material than rubber. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a suitable reinforcing rib geometry (14) design has been added to the plates in order to allow the lower plate (11) and upper plate (12) to have a stronger form. Mentioned rib geometry (14) is not essential element of the present innovative connection bolster (10) and, the usage of rib geometry (14) may be preferred in an alternative embodiment of the invention.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to improve the life properties of the lower plate (11) and upper plate (12) and to achieve the desired life properties, a
suitable friction sheet (15) is added to both plates’ middle regions (where the connection hole (10.1) exists).
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to allow the lower plate (11) and upper plate (12) to have a stronger form, a suitable bush (16) is placed inside each of mounting holes (10.2) located in the corner areas of the plates.
