Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal structure technology, specifically to a high-strength sheet metal structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands for structural strength and lightweighting in the automotive and machinery manufacturing industries, sheet metal structures are being used more and more widely in various equipment and vehicles. High-strength sheet metal structures, as core components bearing critical mechanical properties, directly affect the safety, durability, and performance of the overall product. However, existing sheet metal structures still have certain limitations in improving overall stiffness and impact resistance, especially under dynamic loads and complex stress distribution environments, where they are prone to problems such as localized deformation, weld cracking, or structural instability.
[0003] A search revealed a sheet metal structure and an automobile with publication number CN113200091B, published on August 9, 2022. This patent proposes setting a first and second support unit on the side panel, extending in different directions to the C-pillar and D-pillar of the vehicle body, respectively, to disperse and export the force transmitted by the shock absorber, thereby improving the dynamic stiffness of the side panel area. This structure solves the problem of decreased side panel stiffness after eliminating the C-ring structure by constructing support units with stiffness higher than the side panel itself. However, this solution mainly relies on the arrangement of local reinforcing units, and its overall structure is still mainly based on traditional stamped sheet metal splicing, without strengthening the connection interface between sheet metal parts. Under long-term vibration or impact loads, stress concentration may occur in the connection area between the support unit and the side panel, leading to fatigue cracking. Furthermore, this structure is highly dependent on the design of thickness and layout, posing a challenge to further improve the overall bending and torsional resistance without increasing weight.
[0004] A search revealed a static stiffness reinforcement structure for the inner sheet metal of a vehicle door, with publication number CN113978215B and publication date February 2, 2024. This technology significantly improves the static stiffness of the door by setting horizontal, vertical, and peripheral reinforcing ribs on the inner sheet metal of the door, forming a multi-directional intersecting rib network, effectively suppressing vibration noise when closing the door, and improving NVH performance. This structure achieves uniform force transmission through the rational distribution of reinforcing rib paths. However, it mainly focuses on improving static stiffness, with limited improvement in resistance to deformation under dynamic impact or uneven loading conditions. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs in this solution are mostly planar bending structures, lacking spatial three-dimensional support, which may lead to buckling deformation in localized areas under asymmetrical external forces. In addition, this structure does not fully consider the strength matching problem of sheet metal connection nodes, and the weld points between the reinforcing ribs and the base plate may become weak points under repeated stress.
[0005] The aforementioned problems indicate that existing sheet metal structure technologies mostly focus on localized reinforcement or single-directional stiffness enhancement, lacking a systematic design for optimizing the overall structural force flow path, matching connection strength, and spatial load-bearing capacity. Especially in applications requiring high strength and durability, existing structures remain inadequate in terms of fatigue resistance, impact resistance, and multi-directional load-bearing capacity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of high-strength sheet metal structure that can achieve comprehensive stiffness enhancement, improved connection reliability, and optimized stress distribution without significantly increasing weight, in order to meet the demands of modern industry for high-performance sheet metal structures.

[0032] This utility model provides a high-strength sheet metal structure, the specific implementation of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 A detailed description is provided. The high-strength sheet metal structure includes a base plate 1, a reinforcing frame 2, and a connecting assembly 3. The base plate 1 has outwardly extending first flanges 4 and second flanges 5 on its two side edges, forming a receiving groove between the first flanges 4 and second flanges 5.

The locking cap 17 is fitted onto the smooth section of the main body rod 16 and is connected to the end of the threaded section of the main body rod 16 through an elastic element 18. The outer surface of the locking cap 17 has a plurality of spaced anti-slip textures 19, which extend along the circumferential direction of the locking cap 17. The outer surface of the base plate 1 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 20 arranged along its width direction, and the height of the reinforcing ribs 20 is less than the thickness of the base plate 1. The top of the reinforcing rib 20 has an extension plate 21 parallel to it, and the two ends of the extension plate 21 are respectively attached to the inner surfaces of the first flange 4 and the second flange 5. The bottom of the reinforcing rib 20 has a plurality of spaced damping grooves 22, and the cross-section of the damping grooves 22 is trapezoidal.
[0035] The inner surface of the support bar 6 of the reinforcing frame 2 is provided with multiple buffer blocks 23 arranged along its length, and the buffer blocks 23 are cylindrical in shape. A limiting ring is coaxially arranged at the top of each buffer block 23, and the diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the diameter of the buffer block 23. Multiple spaced protrusions are provided at the bottom of each buffer block 23, and the height of the protrusions is less than the height of the buffer block 23. The outer surfaces of the first flange 4 and the second flange 5 of the substrate 1 are respectively provided with multiple fixing holes arranged along their length, and the diameter of the fixing holes matches the diameter of the locking member 8. The inner walls of the fixing holes are provided with multiple spaced protrusions, and the cross-section of the protrusions is triangular. The inner surfaces of the first flange 4 and the second flange 5 are respectively provided with multiple limiting grooves arranged along their length, and the width of the limiting grooves matches the width of the reinforcing rib 20.
[0036] At the intersection of the support bars 6 of the reinforcing frame 2, auxiliary support columns 24 are provided perpendicularly to them, with both ends of the auxiliary support columns 24 fixed to the inner surface of the support bars 6. A through groove penetrating the axis of the auxiliary support column 24 is provided in the middle of the auxiliary support column 24, and the cross-section of the through groove is rectangular. Multiple heat sinks 25 are arranged along the length of the auxiliary support column 24 on its outer surface, and the thickness of the heat sinks 25 is less than the thickness of the auxiliary support column 24. Multiple connecting blocks are arranged along the width of the substrate 1 on its inner surface, and the connecting blocks are cuboid in shape. A mounting plate parallel to the top of each connecting block is provided, and both ends of the mounting plate are respectively attached to the inner wall of the guide channel 9. Multiple positioning grooves are provided at intervals at the bottom of the connecting blocks, and the width of the positioning grooves matches the width of the support bars 6.
[0037] The inner walls of the connectors 14 and 15 of the support bars 6 of the reinforcing frame 2 are provided with multiple sealing strips arranged along their length, and the cross-section of the sealing strips is semi-circular. A protective layer is provided on the top of the sealing strip, coaxially arranged with it, and the thickness of the protective layer is less than the thickness of the sealing strip. The outer surfaces of the connectors 14 and 15 are provided with multiple guide grooves arranged along their length, and the width of the guide grooves matches the width of the snap-fit structure 7. In practical applications, the substrate 1, as the main load-bearing component, is connected to other structural components through the first flange 4 and the second flange 5. The fixing holes on the first flange 4 and the second flange 5 are used to install the locking element 8 to achieve a fixed connection between the substrate 1 and the external structure. The reinforcing frame 2, through the cross-arrangement design of the support bars 6, distributes the force flow to different areas of the substrate 1, thereby improving the overall rigidity. The snap-fit structure 7 between the support bars 6 ensures the assembly stability of the reinforcing frame 2, while the design of the connectors 14 and 15 facilitates the quick connection and disassembly of the support bars 6.
[0038] The locking member 8 passes through the through hole 11 on the substrate 1 via the main rod 16 and is fixed in the positioning hole 13 of the support bar 6. The locking cap 17 is tightly fitted to the inner surface of the substrate 1 by the action of the elastic element 18, realizing a firm connection between the substrate 1 and the reinforcing frame 2. The design of the guide groove 9 and the expansion groove 10 optimizes the stress distribution inside the substrate 1 and reduces local stress concentration. The protrusion in the expansion groove 10 further enhances the deformation resistance of the substrate 1. The design of the reinforcing rib 20 and the extension plate 21 improves the bending resistance of the substrate 1. The damping groove 22 can absorb some impact energy under dynamic loads and reduce the risk of fatigue cracking. The design of the buffer block 23 and the limiting ring enables the support bar 6 to produce a certain buffering effect when subjected to pressure. At the same time, the limiting ring restricts the excessive compression of the buffer block 23 and ensures the stability of the support bar 6.
[0039] The auxiliary support column 24 is fixed to the inner surface of the support bar 6 at both ends, further enhancing the overall rigidity of the reinforcing frame 2. The heat sink 25 on the auxiliary support column 24 improves the heat dissipation performance of the structure and extends its service life. The design of the connecting block and mounting plate makes the connection between the base plate 1 and the reinforcing frame 2 tighter, and the cooperation between the positioning groove and the support bar 6 ensures the accurate positioning of the reinforcing frame 2. The design of the sealing strip and protective layer improves the sealing between the connector 14 and the interface 15, preventing external impurities from entering the connection part, while the design of the guide groove facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the snap-fit structure 7.
[0040] In the actual assembly process, the support bar 6 is first connected to form the reinforcing frame 2 via the connector 14 and the interface 15, and then fixed using the snap-fit structure 7. Next, the reinforcing frame 2 is placed in the receiving groove of the substrate 1, aligning the positioning hole 13 of the support bar 6 with the through hole 11 on the substrate 1. Then, the main body rod 16 of the locking member 8 is passed through the through hole 11 and fixed in the positioning hole 13. By rotating the locking cap 17, it is made to fit tightly against the inner surface of the substrate 1, completing the connection between the substrate 1 and the reinforcing frame 2. Finally, the entire structure is fixedly connected to other structural components through the fixing holes on the first flange 4 and the second flange 5, completing the assembly of the high-strength sheet metal structure.
[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the specific implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with a specific application scenario.
[0042] In the actual assembly process, the support bar 6 is first connected to form the reinforcing frame 2 via the connector 14 and the interface 15, and then fixed using the snap-fit structure 7. The mating design of the connector 14 and the interface 15 ensures rapid assembly between the support bars 6, while the presence of the guide groove allows the snap-fit structure 7 to slide in and lock smoothly, thus avoiding loosening of the connection due to improper manual operation. The design of the sealing strip and protective layer further improves the sealing performance of the connection part, preventing external impurities from entering the connection area and extending the service life of the connection part.
[0043] Next, the reinforcing frame 2 is placed in the receiving groove formed between the first flange 4 and the second flange 5 of the substrate 1. At this time, the positioning hole 13 on the support bar 6 needs to be aligned with the through hole 11 at the bottom of the guide channel 9 on the inner surface of the substrate 1. This alignment process is completed visually or with the aid of positioning tools to ensure that the locking member 8 can pass smoothly through the through hole 11 and be fixed in the positioning hole 13. The arc-shaped cross-section design of the guide channel 9 helps to disperse local stress, while the protrusions in the expansion groove 10 further enhance the deformation resistance of the substrate 1, making the substrate 1 less prone to buckling deformation when subjected to complex stress distribution.
[0044] Subsequently, the main rod 16 of the locking member 8 is passed through the through hole 11 on the base plate 1 and fixed in the positioning hole 13 of the support bar 6 by the threaded section. The locking cap 17 is tightly fitted to the inner surface of the base plate 1 by the action of the elastic element 18, forming a firm connection. The anti-slip texture 19 on the outer side of the locking cap 17 increases the friction when tightening, making it easier for the operator to apply torque. At the same time, the elastic effect of the elastic element 18 can compensate for small displacements caused by vibration or impact loads, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.
[0045] The design of the reinforcing rib 20 and the extension plate 21 on the outer surface of the substrate 1 significantly improves the overall bending resistance of the substrate 1. The damping groove 22 at the bottom of the reinforcing rib 20 can absorb part of the impact energy under dynamic loads, reducing the risk of fatigue cracking. At the same time, the limiting grooves on the first flange 4 and the second flange 5 match the width of the reinforcing rib 20, ensuring that the reinforcing rib 20 will not shift during installation, thereby further enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0046] The buffer blocks 23 on the inner surface of the support bars 6 of the reinforced frame 2 provide a certain buffering effect when subjected to pressure, while the design of the limiting ring effectively limits the excessive compression of the buffer blocks 23, ensuring the stability of the support bars 6 under dynamic working conditions. The auxiliary support columns 24 at the intersections of the support bars 6 are fixed to the inner surface of the support bars 6 at both ends, further enhancing the overall rigidity of the reinforced frame 2. The through-slot design in the middle of the auxiliary support column 24 not only reduces the structural weight but also improves heat dissipation performance. The presence of heat sinks 25 effectively dissipates heat generated by long-term vibration or impact loads, thereby extending the service life of the entire structure.
[0047] Finally, the entire high-strength sheet metal structure is fixedly connected to other structural components through the fixing holes on the first flange 4 and the second flange 5. The triangular ridge design on the inner wall of the fixing hole increases the friction between the locking component 8 and the fixing hole, preventing loosening due to repeated loads. In addition, the design of the connecting block and the mounting plate makes the connection between the base plate 1 and the reinforcing frame 2 tighter, and the cooperation between the positioning groove and the support strip 6 ensures the accurate positioning of the reinforcing frame 2, thereby further improving the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the overall structure.
[0048] Through the above steps, the high-strength sheet metal structure of this utility model is fully assembled and exhibits excellent performance in practical applications. The coordinated design of the base plate 1, the reinforcing frame 2, and the connecting components 3 enables multi-directional force transmission within the structure, optimizes stress distribution, and reduces the occurrence of local stress concentration. Simultaneously, the tight connections and rational layout between the components effectively improve the overall rigidity, impact resistance, and durability of the structure, meeting the demands of modern industry for high-performance sheet metal structures.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
