Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a built-in concealed installation column and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A vehicle's frame typically utilizes a frame structure, typically consisting of multiple columns and beams, mounted on the suspension, front axle, and rear axle. The frame must possess sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the vehicle's load and the impacts from the wheels. Its function is to support and connect the vehicle's various components, ensuring they maintain relative positioning and withstand various internal and external loads.

[0003] Most of the existing columns are T-shaped structures, and flanges are welded on both side plates of the column for installation. The screws on both sides will affect the installation of the door body, glass or other structures. The process is cumbersome, the welding points are easily deformed, the force is uneven, and chamfering is required to avoid installing the door, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] A first object of the present invention is to provide a built-in concealed installation column.

[0005] A second object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle having the above-mentioned pillar.

[0006] In order to achieve the first purpose of the present invention, the present invention provides a built-in hidden installation column, which is extruded along the length direction; the column is provided with a peripheral wall, and the column is provided with a hole wall inside the peripheral wall, the hole wall is connected to the peripheral wall, and a through hole is provided through the hole wall along the length direction, and the peripheral wall is provided with a mounting groove at the end near the length direction, the through hole passes through the mounting groove, and the through hole is provided with a connecting section, which is located between the mounting groove and the end of the column in the length direction.

[0007] It can be seen from the above scheme that the columns are extruded and formed along the length direction so that the peripheral wall, hole wall and through hole all extend along the length direction. The extrusion molding process can be used to cut the length of the column according to actual needs without the need to re-open the mold, effectively reducing costs. A mounting groove is provided at the end near the length direction, and the mounting groove passes through the peripheral wall and the hole wall, and the through hole passes through the mounting groove. Then the connecting screws can be installed in the mounting groove in a built-in and hidden manner, and can be connected to other bracket components using the connecting section, so that the column no longer needs to be welded with a flange on the peripheral wall to ensure the flatness of the appearance of the column and reduce the deformation of the column end caused by welding. While ensuring the structural strength, the gap between the beams is reduced, making the connection structure more fitting. Without the flanges and screws on both sides, the door body no longer needs to be chamfered, and the door body can be more regular and fit the rotation of the frame.

[0008] A further solution is that the peripheral wall is provided with mounting grooves at both ends close to the length direction, and the through hole is provided with connecting sections at both ends close to the length direction.

[0009] A further solution is that the column is provided with hole walls on both sides in the width direction, and the peripheral wall is provided with two mounting grooves at the end close to the length direction. The two mounting grooves are located on both sides in the width direction, and the length direction is perpendicular to the width direction.

[0010] As can be seen from the above, by setting mounting grooves at both ends in the length direction, the column can be fixedly connected at both ends, and two mounting grooves and two hole walls are set at the end, and the two connecting sections can be used for fixed connection, which can improve the installation stability of the column.

[0011] A further solution is that the length of the mounting groove in the longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the connecting section in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] As can be seen from the above, the mounting groove is arranged to be longer to facilitate the installation and connection of the connecting screws.

[0013] A further solution is that the column is provided with ribs in the peripheral wall, and the ribs are connected between the hole wall and the peripheral wall.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, the overall strength of the column can be improved by utilizing the connection arrangement of the ribs.

[0015] A further solution is that the column is provided with a baffle on the outside of the peripheral wall, and the baffle is connected to the peripheral wall.

[0016] A further solution is that baffles are respectively provided on both sides of the column in the width direction.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, the provision of the baffle can provide a positioning structure for the columns and other components.

[0018] A further solution is that the column is provided with a slide groove along the length direction, and the column is provided with a positioning inner edge at the opening.

[0019] A further solution is that the peripheral wall is provided with at least two sliding grooves, one sliding groove is located on the same side of the mounting groove, and the other sliding groove is located on the other side of the mounting groove.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the chute can be used to connect other components by positioning the inner edge, and the connection position can be adjusted by extending along the length direction. Through the different positions of the chute, other components can be connected from multiple different angles.

[0021] In order to achieve the second purpose of the present invention, the present invention provides a vehicle, which includes a bracket, a connecting screw and a column as described above, the connecting screw is installed from the installation groove to the connecting section, the head of the connecting screw is located in the installation groove, and the connecting screw passes through the connecting section and is connected to the bracket.

[0022] It can be seen from the above scheme that the connecting screws can be installed in a hidden manner in the installation groove, and can be connected to the bracket using the connecting section, so that the column no longer needs to have a flange welded on the peripheral wall to ensure the flatness of the column's appearance and reduce the deformation of the column end caused by welding. While ensuring the structural strength, it reduces the gap between the beams and makes the connection structure fit more closely. Without the flanges and screws on both sides, the door body no longer needs chamfering, and the door body can be more regular and fit the rotation of the frame more closely.
