Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle body technology, specifically relating to a vehicle body structure and vehicle with an integrated sunroof frame. Background Technology
[0002] For car users, with the increasing popularity of automobiles, different users have different needs for car functions. Consumers' concepts are becoming more fashionable and youthful, and they have more demands for the spatial and functional expansion of new-era car products. A vehicle that can be both a passenger car and a multi-purpose vehicle is the best choice at present. For example, urban pickup trucks can achieve the expansion of rear space in both the X and Z directions, which is also a current development trend of urban vehicles. Therefore, a vehicle that can be both a passenger car and an urban pickup truck has become one direction. Among them, sunroofs are a feasible way to expand space in the Z direction. Providing a body structure that integrates a sunroof frame has become an urgent problem to be solved.
[0003] There is a type of sliding sunroof on the market now, whose installation frame uses reinforcing rings and a top cover to provide sufficient support for the sunroof.
[0004] The addition of reinforcing rings and a top cover increases the number of parts in the sunroof frame, thereby increasing manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle body structure and vehicle with an integrated sunroof frame. The vehicle body frame, consisting of the right side panel assembly, the left side panel assembly, the front crossbeam assembly of the roof, and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof, is directly and fixedly connected to the panoramic sunroof assembly. In other words, the traditional sunroof frame is integrated with the vehicle body frame, reducing the number of parts in the traditional sunroof frame. While providing sufficient support for the sunroof, the cost is reduced, making it highly practical.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A vehicle body structure with an integrated sunroof frame, comprising a panoramic sunroof assembly and a vehicle body frame;
[0008] The vehicle body frame includes the right side panel assembly, the left side panel assembly, the front crossbeam assembly of the roof, and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof.
[0009] The front crossbeam assembly and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof are located between the right side enclosure assembly and the left side enclosure assembly, and both ends are fixedly connected to the upper part of the right side enclosure assembly and the left side enclosure assembly.
[0010] The front crossbeam assembly of the roof is located at the front of the vehicle body frame.
[0011] The crossbeam assembly in the roof is located in the middle of the vehicle body frame.
[0012] The left and right sides of the panoramic sunroof assembly are fixedly connected to the right side panel assembly and the left side panel assembly, respectively.
[0013] The front part of the panoramic sunroof assembly is fixedly connected to the front crossbeam assembly of the roof;
[0014] The central part of the panoramic sunroof assembly is fixedly connected to the central crossbeam assembly of the roof.
[0015] Further specifying, the left and right sides of the panoramic sunroof assembly are respectively fixedly connected to the right side panel assembly and the left side panel assembly via bolts; the front of the panoramic sunroof assembly is fixedly connected to the front crossbeam assembly of the roof via bolts; and the rear of the panoramic sunroof assembly is fixedly connected to the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof via bolts. This structural design, using bolted connections, completes the installation of the panoramic sunroof assembly to the vehicle body frame, resulting in a simple structure and convenient installation.
[0016] Further specifying, PU adhesive is applied between the upper surfaces of the right side panel assembly, left side panel assembly, front roof crossbeam assembly, and middle roof crossbeam assembly and the panoramic sunroof assembly, and the vehicle body frame and panoramic sunroof assembly are bonded together using PU adhesive. This structural design, in addition to using bolts to install the panoramic sunroof assembly to the vehicle body frame, further strengthens the connection between the vehicle body frame and the panoramic sunroof assembly through the use of PU adhesive, resulting in a more secure connection and improved sealing between the panoramic sunroof assembly and the vehicle body frame, making it highly practical.
[0017] Further specifying, the panoramic sunroof assembly includes a water channel assembly that fits against the upper surface of the vehicle body frame. This water channel assembly is fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the right side panel assembly, left side panel assembly, front roof crossbeam assembly, and middle roof crossbeam assembly. This structural design, using the water channel assembly to achieve a fixed connection between the panoramic sunroof assembly and the vehicle body frame, is simple in structure, easy to install, and highly practical.
[0018] Furthermore, both the right side enclosure assembly and the left side enclosure assembly include an upper crossbeam outer plate and a side enclosure inner plate, which together form an X-shaped cavity extending from front to back at the top. This structural design, by forming an X-shaped cavity extending from front to back at the top, ensures the structural strength of the upper part of the right side enclosure assembly and the left side enclosure assembly, resulting in a simple structure and strong practicality.
[0019] Furthermore, the right side panel assembly and the left side panel assembly also include side panel outer plates, which are located outside the upper crossbeam outer plate. This structural design, by covering the X-shaped cavity that runs through the upper front and rear of the upper crossbeam and the side panel inner plates with the side panel outer plates, enhances the aesthetics.
[0020] Further specified, a PU adhesive is provided between the water channel assembly and the outer side panel, and a front mounting bracket and a rear mounting bracket are fixedly provided on the inner side panel. The water channel assembly is fixedly connected to the front mounting bracket and the rear mounting bracket by bolts. This structural design, through the PU adhesive provided between the water channel assembly and the outer side panel, completes the initial PU adhesive connection between the water channel assembly and the right / left side panel assembly. Then, through the bolted connection between the water channel assembly and the front and rear mounting brackets, a secondary fixation is completed between the panoramic sunroof assembly and the right / left side panel assembly. The structure is simple, easy to install, and highly practical.
[0021] Further specifying, PU adhesive is applied between the water channel assembly and the front crossbeam assembly and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof, and the water channel assembly is fixedly connected to the front crossbeam assembly and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof by bolts. This structural design, by applying PU adhesive and bolts between the water channel assembly and the front crossbeam assembly and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof, achieves two-stage fixation between the panoramic sunroof assembly and the front crossbeam assembly and the middle crossbeam assembly of the roof. The structure is simple, easy to install, and highly practical.
[0022] Further specifying, a central connecting member is installed on the inner side panel. This central connecting member includes an outer plate and an inner plate of a central crossbeam connecting member. The outer and inner plates of the central crossbeam connecting member together form a Y-shaped cavity. The central crossbeam assembly of the roof is fixedly connected to the central connecting member. This structural design, through the central connecting member (forming a Y-shaped cavity with the outer and inner plates of the central crossbeam connecting member) fixedly connected to the central crossbeam assembly of the roof, completes the connection between the right / left side panel assembly and the central crossbeam assembly of the roof. The cavity-shaped central connecting member provides higher structural strength, enhances the support stability of the right / left side panel assembly for the central part of the panoramic sunroof assembly, and has strong practicality.
[0023] Furthermore, the central connector has mounting holes, and bolts are installed in the mounting holes. The central connector is fixedly connected to the water channel assembly via the bolts in the mounting holes. This structural design, through bolts and the central connector, further strengthens the connection between the panoramic sunroof assembly and the right / left side panel assembly, making it highly practical.
[0024] Furthermore, a rear pillar assembly is fixedly installed at the rear ends of the right side panel assembly and the left side panel assembly. The rear pillar assembly includes a rear pillar outer plate welding assembly and a rear pillar inner plate welding assembly, which together form a Z-shaped cavity. This structural design, through the rear pillar assembly forming a Z-shaped cavity, encloses and supports the rear ends of the right side panel assembly and the left side panel assembly. The structure is simple and highly practical.
