[0002] The side pillars generally include A-pillars, B-pillars, C-pillars, etc. Among them, the A-pillar is located in the front of the side, connected to the front panel, and also provides installation for the front door hinges and front windshield. It is a support pillar for the rotation of the front side door switch. The B-pillar is located in the middle of the side, providing installation for the front seat belts, front door locks and rear side door hinges, and is a support pillar for the rotation of the rear side door switch.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure the rigidity of the side door hinge installation point, a side pillar hinge reinforcement plate is often installed in the side pillar to prevent the problem of poor door locking or uneven gap surface difference. However, the existing side pillar hinge reinforcement plate is limited by its own structure and has limited effect on strengthening the overall rigidity of the side pillar, resulting in a high probability of deformation of the side pillar after a vehicle collision, which makes it easy for the door to be unable to open, which is not conducive to improving the collision safety of the entire vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the door hinge mounting point includes a door hinge mounting hole provided on the pillar reinforcement, and the door hinge mounting hole is a threaded hole.

[0015] Furthermore, a rubber body is vulcanized and fixedly connected to the pillar reinforcement, a mounting sleeve is embedded in the rubber body, and an inner hole of the mounting sleeve constitutes the door hinge mounting hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the column reinforcement plate is formed by casting of aluminum alloy.

[0017] Furthermore, a through hole is formed in the column reinforcement member and is penetrated vertically, and an extruded aluminum profile is inserted into the through hole through interference fit.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] The side panel pillar structure described in the utility model, by arranging an integrally cast pillar reinforcement in the side panel pillar, allows the door hinge mounting point to be arranged on the pillar reinforcement, which can increase the rigidity of the door hinge mounting point by utilizing the high strength of the casting structure, and also can improve the overall strength and rigidity of the side panel pillar, thereby improving the stability of the door installation, and can also reduce the deformation of the side panel pillar in the event of a collision, which can reduce the probability of the door being unable to be opened due to the deformation of the side panel pillar, and help to improve the collision safety of the vehicle.

[0020] In addition, the structural strength of the column reinforcement can be increased by providing a reinforcing rib plate, and by forming multiple cavities, the strength and rigidity of the column reinforcement can be further increased by utilizing the high structural strength of the cavity.

[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] This embodiment relates to a side wall column structure, the overall structure is as follows: Figure 1As shown in the figure, the side panel pillar structure includes a side panel outer panel 1, a side panel reinforcement plate 2 and a side panel inner panel 3 connected together, the side panel outer panel 1, the side panel reinforcement plate 2 and the side panel inner panel 3 are arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside along the width direction of the vehicle, and a pillar reinforcement 4 is connected between the side panel reinforcement plate 2 and the side panel inner panel 3.

[0039] Among them, the pillar reinforcement 4 is arranged along the height direction of the whole vehicle and is specifically in the shape of a long strip. At the same time, the pillar reinforcement 4 is cast in one piece, and a door hinge mounting point is provided on the pillar reinforcement 4. The side reinforcement plate 2 and the side outer panel 1 are provided with door hinge mounting holes arranged corresponding to the door hinge mounting points.

[0040] At this time, as set above, by setting an integrally cast pillar reinforcement 4 in the side pillar, the door hinge mounting point is set on the pillar reinforcement 4. This embodiment can utilize the high strength of the casting structure to increase the stiffness of the door hinge mounting point, while also improving the overall strength and stiffness of the side pillar, thereby improving the stability of the door installation, reducing the deformation of the side pillar in the event of a collision, and reducing the probability of the door being unable to open due to the deformation of the side pillar.

[0041] Based on the above overall introduction, specifically, it should be pointed out that the pillar in this embodiment can be an A-pillar, a B-pillar, or other side pillar on which the door hinge mounting point is set.

[0042] In addition, as a preferred implementation, Figure 2 As shown in , a plurality of reinforcing ribs 5 are formed on the column reinforcement 4, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 5 surround a plurality of cavities 6 on the column reinforcement 4. A weight-reducing hole 7 is provided on the column reinforcement 4. The structural strength of the column reinforcement 4 can be increased by providing the reinforcing ribs 5, and the strength and rigidity of the column reinforcement 4 can be further increased by forming a plurality of cavities 6, which can also utilize the high structural strength of the cavity 6. The provision of the weight-reducing hole 7 helps to reduce the weight of the reinforcement, which is conducive to achieving a lightweight design.

[0043] In specific implementation, Figure 2 As shown in , the column reinforcement 4 may include a first column reinforcement plate 401 extending in the up-down direction, and the reinforcing rib plate 5 is arranged on the column reinforcement plate and extends in the left-right direction perpendicular to the first column reinforcement plate 401, so that the connected multiple reinforcing rib plates 5 and the first column reinforcement plate 401 can enclose and form a cavity 6. In addition, the above-mentioned weight reduction hole 7 is arranged on the first column reinforcement plate 401, which has a simple structure and is convenient to set up.

[0044] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, a reinforcing rib plate 5 is formed on the column reinforcement 4, and a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 5 are used to form a cavity 6 on the column reinforcement 4, and a weight-reducing hole 7 is provided on the column reinforcement 4. This is only a preferred implementation method. In addition, in other embodiments, it is also possible to choose not to form a reinforcing rib plate 5 on the column reinforcement 4, or not to use a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 5 to form a cavity 6, and it is also possible to choose not to provide a weight-reducing hole 7 on the column reinforcement 4.

[0045] As a preferred implementation, in this embodiment, the pillar reinforcement 4 and the side panel reinforcement plate 2 can be connected by a first screw connection structure, and the pillar reinforcement 4 and the side panel inner plate 3 can be connected by a second screw connection structure. It can be understood that by using the screw connection structure to connect the pillar reinforcement 4 with the side panel reinforcement plate 2 and the side panel inner plate 3, the structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the reliability of the connection can be guaranteed.

[0046] In addition, it is preferred that the first screw connection structure and the second screw connection structure are both arranged in a plurality of spaces along the height direction of the vehicle, so as to help ensure the stability of the pillar reinforcement 4 disposed between the side wall reinforcement plate 2 and the side wall inner plate 3 .

[0047] In specific implementation, in this embodiment, there are three first bolting structures arranged at intervals along the height direction of the vehicle, and three second bolting structures arranged at intervals. Of course, in actual design, the number of the first bolting structures and the second bolting structures is not limited to three, for example, the number of the first bolting structures or the second bolting structures can be set to two, four, five, six, etc.

[0048] As a preferred implementation, in this embodiment, each first screw connection structure includes a first threaded connection hole 8 provided on the pillar reinforcement 4, a first connection through hole provided on the side reinforcement plate 2, and a first connection bolt screwed into the first threaded connection hole 8 through the first connection through hole. Each second screw connection structure includes a second threaded connection hole 9 provided on the pillar reinforcement 4, a second connection through hole provided on the side reinforcement plate 2, and a second connection bolt screwed into the second threaded connection hole 9 through the second connection through hole. By making each screw connection structure consist of a threaded connection hole, a connection through hole and a connection bolt that are matched, it is easy to implement and also has the advantage of low cost.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first screw connection structure and the second screw connection structure are respectively arranged according to the above-mentioned structure, which is only a preferred implementation mode. In addition, in other embodiments, the first screw connection structure and the second screw connection structure can also be arranged in accordance with other screw connection structures commonly seen in the prior art. For example, when the first screw connection structure is arranged, holes can be arranged on both the pillar reinforcement 4 and the side reinforcement plate 2. In this case, nuts can be arranged, and the connecting bolts can be connected to the nuts after passing through the pillar reinforcement 4 and the side reinforcement plate 2. The second screw connection structure can also be arranged in accordance with this form.

[0050] As a preferred implementation, in this embodiment, the door hinge mounting point includes a door hinge mounting hole 10 provided on the pillar reinforcement 4, and the door hinge mounting hole 10 is a threaded hole. By making the door hinge mounting point adopt the door hinge mounting hole 10, the structure is simple and the installation operation of the door hinge can be facilitated.

[0051] In addition, since the door hinges are generally arranged in two spaces in an upper and lower manner, the door hinge mounting holes 10 are also arranged in two spaces in an upper and lower manner on the pillar reinforcement member 4. Figure 2 As shown in , a sleeve 13 extending outward in the left-right direction perpendicular to the first pillar reinforcement plate 401 may be provided on the first pillar reinforcement plate 401 , and the door hinge mounting hole 10 is provided through the first pillar reinforcement plate 401 and the sleeve 13 .

[0052] Preferably, in this embodiment, a rubber body 11 may be vulcanized and fixedly connected to the pillar reinforcement 4, a mounting sleeve 12 may be embedded in the rubber body 11, and the inner hole of the mounting sleeve 12 may constitute the door hinge mounting hole 10. It is understandable that by vulcanizing and fixing the rubber body 11 to the pillar reinforcement 4, embedding the mounting sleeve 12 in the rubber body 11, and making the inner hole of the mounting sleeve 12 constitute the door hinge mounting hole 10, the vibration reduction and isolation characteristics of the rubber body 11 may be utilized to reduce the transmission of door vibration to the vehicle body, which helps to improve the driving quality of the entire vehicle.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the rubber body 11 is vulcanized and connected between the inner wall of the sleeve 13 and the mounting sleeve 12. In addition, the rubber body 11 can preferably be made of a rubber material with a relatively large hardness and excellent weather resistance to ensure the supporting rigidity of the door and the durability of the vehicle.

[0054] As a preferred implementation, in this embodiment, the pillar reinforcement 4 can be cast from aluminum alloy. This configuration simplifies the manufacturing process, facilitates processing, and makes it easy to reduce the weight of the pillar reinforcement 4, thereby facilitating a lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, a through hole penetrating from top to bottom may be formed in the column reinforcement 4, and an extruded aluminum profile 14 may be inserted in the through hole with interference fit. By inserting the extruded aluminum profile 14 in the column reinforcement 4, the toughness of the column reinforcement 4 can be further increased on the basis of the high structural strength of the cast aluminum part, which is beneficial to improving the anti-deformation ability of the column reinforcement 4 and enhancing its application effect.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the extrusion of the aluminum profile 14, as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a second column reinforcement plate 402 can be arranged on the first column reinforcement plate 401, and the second column reinforcement plate 402 also extends in the up and down direction, and the first column reinforcement plate 401 and the second column reinforcement plate 402 are arranged crosswise, and the through hole for inserting the extruded aluminum profile 14 is located at the intersection position of the first column reinforcement plate 401 and the second column reinforcement plate 402, and is arranged through the intersection position.

[0057] The side pillar structure of the present embodiment, by providing an integrally cast pillar reinforcement 4 in the side pillar, can utilize the high strength of the casting structure to increase the rigidity of the door hinge mounting point, while also improving the overall strength and rigidity of the side pillar, thereby improving the stability of the door installation, reducing the deformation of the side pillar in the event of a collision, and helping to improve the collision safety of the vehicle.
