12、<p>　　汽車制造廠商們在他們生產(chǎn)的汽車上都使用了幾種不同的車架結(jié)構(gòu)。其中，整個七十年代最常使用的是殼體和大梁的分體結(jié)構(gòu)。目前它仍然在大型貨車、小噸位貨車和卡車上應(yīng)用著。在汽車殼體和大梁的分體結(jié)構(gòu)里，發(fā)動機、傳動裝置、傳動齒輪和車殼都是通過絕緣裝置固定在車身大梁上。車架內(nèi)部的絕緣裝置是人造橡膠緩沖墊，能夠阻止道路不平和發(fā)動機工作引起的噪音和震動傳到駕駛員和乘客的座艙里。</p><p>　　第二種是

13、汽車車架的單體結(jié)構(gòu)。這種設(shè)計到目前為止在現(xiàn)代汽車上是最常用。單體車架按所需的強度來分，設(shè)計有輕型結(jié)構(gòu)。在這種汽車結(jié)構(gòu)中大梁作為車架的一部分被直接焊接到殼體上。底盤的重量增加了大梁的強度。傳動齒輪和傳動裝置經(jīng)由大而軟的人造橡膠絕緣墊安裝在單體車架上。絕緣墊減弱了噪聲的傳動和震動。若絕緣墊太軟，將會引起傳動齒輪和傳動裝置位移。這種位移稱為柔量，它會影響到汽車的操縱性能和控制性能。若絕緣墊太硬，則不能起到應(yīng)有的隔絕噪音和減小震動的作用。汽車制
