Shock absorber housing and mounting structure thereof for vehicle
A shock absorber housing of a vehicle may include a shock absorber housing body formed in a shape of a box and in which an upper portion of a shock absorber is mounted by being inserted therein, and flanges formed along at least one of edges of the box-shaped shock absorber housing body and thus being coupled to a vehicle body, in which the shock absorber housing body includes a low strength portion and a high strength portion respectively having different strengths due to a thickness difference.
1. A shock absorber housing of a vehicle, comprising:
a shock absorber housing body formed in a shape of a box; and
flanges formed along at least one of edges of the box-shaped shock absorber housing body and coupled to a vehicle body,
wherein the shock absorber housing body includes a low strength portion and a high strength portion that have different strengths due to a thickness difference, and
wherein the low strength portion is provided in an outer side of the vehicle in a width direction thereof with respect to the high strength portion.
2. The shock absorber housing of claim 1 , wherein the low strength portion and the high strength portion are respectively formed in a shape of a quadrangle or a triangle.
3. The shock absorber housing of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the high strength portion is 2.5 times to 3.5 times a thickness of the low strength portion.
4. The shock absorber housing of claim 1 , wherein the low strength portion and the high strength portion are connected to each other through an intermediate connection portion having variable strength along a width direction thereof.
5. The shock absorber housing of claim 4 , wherein the intermediate connection portion has variable thickness between a thickness of the low strength portion and a thickness of the high strength portion.
6. The shock absorber housing of claim 4 , wherein the intermediate connection portion is formed in a shape of an oblique line.
7. The shock absorber housing of claim 6 , wherein an inclination angle of the oblique line is between 55° and 65°.
8. The shock absorber housing of claim 7 , wherein the oblique line is inclined to an outer side of the vehicle along a width direction of the vehicle.
9. The shock absorber housing of claim 1 , wherein the shock absorber housing body is formed of an aluminum material using a high-vacuum die-casting method.
10. A shock absorber housing mounting structure of a vehicle, in which one portion of the shock absorber housing of claim 1 is coupled to a front side member extended along a length direction of the vehicle, and
another portion of the shock absorber housing is extended along the length direction of the vehicle, and is provided at an outer side along a width direction of the vehicle with respect to the front side member and is coupled to a fender apron upper member provided higher than the front side member with respect to a height direction of the vehicle.
11. A shock absorber housing of a vehicle, comprising:
a shock absorber housing body formed in a shape of a box; and
flanges formed along at least one of edges of the box-shaped shock absorber housing body and coupled to a vehicle body,
wherein the shock absorber housing body includes a low strength portion and a high strength portion that have different strengths due to a thickness difference, and
wherein the low strength portion and the high strength portion are respectively formed in a shape of a quadrangle or a triangle.
12. A shock absorber housing of a vehicle, comprising:
a shock absorber housing body formed in a shape of a box; and
flanges formed along at least one of edges of the box-shaped shock absorber housing body and coupled to a vehicle body,
wherein the shock absorber housing body includes a low strength portion and a high strength portion that have different strengths due to a thickness difference, and
wherein the low strength portion and the high strength portion are connected to each other through an intermediate connection portion having variable strength along a width direction thereof.
13. The shock absorber housing of claim 12 , wherein the intermediate connection portion has variable thickness between a thickness of the low strength portion and a thickness of the high strength portion.
14. The shock absorber housing of claim 12 , wherein the intermediate connection portion is formed in a shape of an oblique line.
15. The shock absorber housing of claim 14 , wherein an inclination angle of the oblique line is between 55° and 65°.
16. The shock absorber housing of claim 15 , wherein the oblique line is inclined to an outer side of the vehicle along a width direction of the vehicle.
