[0002] Different from traditional vehicle bodies, a large number of aluminum profiles are applied to the main structures of electric vehicle bodies. The application of aluminum profiles and 2D stretch bending technology makes the mounting surface on the top side beam of the vehicle a curved surface. The curved surface causes difficulties in installing the passenger armrest bracket, making it difficult to make the passenger armrest bracket universal. At the same time, there will be large deviations during installation, and in severe cases, it will cause abnormal noise and difficult rotation of the passenger armrest. If two types of brackets are tried to be designed, the production cost will be greatly increased.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] A preferred embodiment of a method for setting a general passenger armrest bracket with a bent mounting surface provided by the present invention;

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, first determine the installation position of the passenger armrest bracket 1. Determine the second passenger armrest installation point 8 and the first passenger armrest installation point 3 on the passenger armrest bracket 1, and determine the passenger armrest straight line 2 with these two points. Predetermine the second bent top side beam installation point 7 on the bent top side beam mounting surface 4, and make an installation surface straight line 6 equal in length to the passenger armrest straight line 2 in the direction of the passenger armrest straight line 2.

[0038] When the end point of this straight line is the intersection point of the installation surface straight line 6 and the bent top side beam mounting surface 4 at this time, it is the first bent top side beam installation point 5. In this state, the installation surface straight line 6 and the passenger armrest straight line 2 can form a parallelogram, ensuring the bending generality and excellent compatibility of the passenger armrest mounting bracket.

[0039] Similarly, there are at least two points on the bent top side beam mounting surface 4 for installing a passenger armrest mounting bracket.

[0040] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, when the end point of the installation surface straight line 6 is not the intersection point of the installation surface straight line 6 and the bent top side beam mounting surface 4, as Figure 2 shown, make the passenger armrest installation plane 9, make the armrest bracket installation point plane 10 with reference to the passenger armrest installation plane 9. The armrest bracket installation point plane 10 is parallel to the passenger armrest installation plane 9, and the armrest bracket installation point plane 10 passes through the second bent top side beam installation point 7. Let the passenger armrest installation plane 9 intersect with the bent top side beam mounting surface 4 to obtain the intersection line 11.

[0041] Select the nearest point on the intersecting curve 11 near the end point of the installation surface straight line 6, which is the installation point 5 of the first bent top side beam. In this state, the installation surface straight line 6 and the passenger armrest straight line 2 can approximately form a parallelogram.

[0042] The general passenger armrest bracket designed by this method can minimize the installation error and ensure the installation accuracy. The same passenger armrest installation bracket has at least two points on the installation surface 4 of the bent top side beam. The determination of other installation points can repeat the above method and will not be repeated here.

The front end of each component refers to the end close to the vehicle head, the rear end refers to the end close to the vehicle tail, and the lower end refers to the end under the vehicle.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] The present invention provides a method for setting a general passenger armrest bracket with a bent installation surface. This setting method is realized through the following steps:

[0046] First, determine the installation position of the passenger armrest bracket 1, and determine the first passenger armrest installation point 3 and the second passenger armrest installation point 8 according to the passenger armrest bracket 1;

[0047] Determine the passenger armrest straight line 2 through the first passenger armrest installation point 3 and the second passenger armrest installation point 8. Make the passenger armrest installation plane 9 according to the passenger armrest bracket 1. The armrest bracket installation point plane 10 and the passenger armrest installation plane 9 are parallel to each other; the plane where the first bent top side beam installation point 5 and the second bent top side beam installation point 7 are located is the armrest bracket installation point plane 10;

[0048] Intersect the passenger armrest installation plane 9 with the bent top side beam installation surface 4 to obtain the intersecting line 11;

[0049] Select the nearest point on the intersecting curve 11 near the end point of the installation surface straight line 6, which is the installation point 5 of the first bent top side beam. Select the installation surface straight line 6 according to the passenger armrest straight line 2; the installation surface straight line 6 and the passenger armrest straight line 2 are parallel to each other; the two end points on the installation surface straight line 6 are set as the first bent top side beam installation point 5 and the second bent top side beam installation point 7. Among them, the distance between the first bent top side beam installation point 5 and the second bent top side beam installation point 7 is the same as the distance between the first passenger armrest installation point 3 and the second passenger armrest installation point 8. According to the determination of the first bent top side beam installation point 5, the bracket setting is completed.
