DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to which this application belongs to understand this application more clearly, the technical solution of this application is described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0041] In the related art, the side outer panel of a vehicle is generally made of multiple sheet metal parts, which has a large number of structural parts and is complicated to install. The present invention provides a side outer panel and a vehicle, which at least to a certain extent simplifies the number of structural parts of the side outer panel and simplifies the installation steps.
[0042] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 10 In a first aspect, the present invention provides a side outer panel 100, which is installed on the outer side of the vehicle body frame 200. The side outer panel 100 includes a main body 110, an upper reinforcement 120 and a lower reinforcement 130, wherein the main body 110 is an integrated structure, and the main body 110 is provided with a door opening 111 corresponding to the position of the sliding door and a middle avoidance structure 112 for avoiding the middle slide of the sliding door; the upper reinforcement 120 is connected to the main body 110 and the vehicle body frame 200, and is located above the door opening 111; the lower reinforcement 130 is connected to the main body 110 and is located below the door opening 111, and both the lower reinforcement 130 and the main body 110 are provided with a lower avoidance structure 131 for avoiding the lower slide of the sliding door.
[0043] The side outer panel 100 as a whole includes a main body 110, an upper reinforcement 120 and a lower reinforcement 130, wherein the main body 110 is provided with a middle avoidance structure 112 for avoiding the middle slide channel of the sliding door. The main body 110 is an integrated structure, so it is necessary to open a door opening 111 corresponding to the position of the sliding door. After the door opening 111 is opened, the strength above and below the door opening 111 will be significantly reduced. The upper reinforcement 120 is connected to the main body 110 and is located above the door opening 111, which can improve the strength of the main body 110 above the door opening 111. Since the upper reinforcement 120 is connected to the vehicle body frame 200, the upper reinforcement 120 also plays a role in connecting the main body 110 to the vehicle body frame 200. Both the lower reinforcement 130 and the body 110 are provided with a lower avoidance structure 131 for avoiding the downward slide of the sliding door. Due to the dual effects of the door opening 111 and the lower avoidance structure 131, the strength of the body 110 below the door opening 111 is reduced. The provision of the lower reinforcement 130 below the door opening 111 improves the strength of the body 110 below the door opening 111. The body 110 of the side outer panel 100 of the present invention adopts an integrated structure, thereby reducing the number of structural components of the side outer panel 100 and simplifying installation. The integrated design of the body 110, door opening 111, and lower avoidance structure 131 reduces the strength of the body 110 above and below the door opening 111. The provision of the upper reinforcement 120 and lower reinforcement 130 improves the strength of the body 110 itself.
[0044] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 10The upper reinforcement 120 includes a connecting plate 121 and a reinforcing plate 122, the connecting plate 121 is connected to the upper longitudinal beam 210 of the vehicle body frame 200, and the reinforcing plate 122 is connected to the main body 110. The connecting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 122 can be a split structure or an integrated structure. In some embodiments, the connecting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 122 are an integrated structure. In some embodiments, the connecting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 122 have an angle to facilitate the matching of the respective positions of the main body 110 and the upper longitudinal beam 210. The connecting plate 121 can be connected to the side of the upper longitudinal beam 210 or to the bottom surface of the upper longitudinal beam 210. This application does not impose specific restrictions. The connecting plate 121 and the upper longitudinal beam 210 can be welded or screwed.
[0045] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 10 The upper reinforcement 120 also includes a transition plate 123 located between the connecting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 122. The transition plate 123 is located outside the vertical projection of the upper longitudinal beam 210. The connecting plate 121 is connected to the side of the upper longitudinal beam 210, and the transition plate 123 is arranged at an angle to the connecting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 122. The arrangement of the transition plate 123 creates a distance between the main body 110 and the vehicle body frame 200, thereby increasing the interior space of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the transition plate 123 can extend horizontally, while the reinforcing plate 122 is arranged at an angle, with the lower end of the reinforcing plate 122 facing away from the vehicle body frame 200.
[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 121, transition plate 123, and reinforcement plate 122 can be separate structures connected by welding. In other embodiments, the connecting plate 121, transition plate 123, and reinforcement plate 122 are a single-piece structure formed by deforming a single plate, which provides high strength. In some embodiments, the end of the reinforcement plate 122 away from the transition plate 123 is tilted downward, allowing the space above the transition plate 123 to be used to secure the side outer panel 100, resulting in a reasonable layout.
[0047] In some embodiments, the lower reinforcement 130 and the body 110 are separate structures, connected by welding or gluing. For example, when the body 110 is made of a non-metallic material, such as carbon fiber, and the lower reinforcement 130 is made of steel, the lower reinforcement 130 and the body 110 are bonded using structural adhesive. In certain embodiments, the lower reinforcement 130 and the body 110 are integrally formed, further reducing the number of components in the side outer panel 100 and simplifying the installation process. When the lower reinforcement 130 and the body 110 are integrally formed, the lower reinforcement 130 can be pre-embedded within the body 110 or cast.
[0048] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1The middle avoidance structure 112 is a avoidance groove, and the middle slide is arranged in the avoidance groove. The bottom of the avoidance groove protrudes from the inner side of the body 110 to form a boss connected to the vehicle body frame 200. The setting of the avoidance groove improves the strength of the body 110 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and also realizes the avoidance of the middle slide, making the appearance of the vehicle beautiful. The bottom of the avoidance groove is provided with a connecting hole, and the middle slide is connected to the vehicle body frame 200 by screws passing through the connecting hole, which not only realizes the fixed installation of the middle slide but also realizes the connection between the body 110 and the vehicle body frame 200. In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 11 The bottom of the shunting groove is provided with a middle slideway mounting protrusion 119 that mates with the middle longitudinal beam 220 of the vehicle body frame 200. The middle slideway mounting protrusion 119 is provided with a connection hole, and the middle slideway is provided with bolt connection holes. Bolts passing through the connection holes connect the middle longitudinal beam 220, the main body 110, and the middle slideway. The bottom of the shunting groove is also provided with an exterior mounting protrusion 117 for mounting an exterior trim 400. The inner side of the main body 110 is the side closest to the vehicle body frame 200, while the outer side of the main body 110 is the side away from the vehicle body frame 200.
[0049] In some embodiments, the lower relief structure 131 is a relief opening that extends through and communicates with the lower reinforcement 130 and the main body 110, allowing the lower lower member of the sliding door to pass through the relief opening and into the lower path. The lower reinforcement 130 can be a lower reinforcement plate 122. The lower reinforcement 130 and the main body 110 can be either integral or separate. An integral structure of the lower reinforcement 130 and the main body 110 reduces the number of structural components and simplifies installation. The lower reinforcement 130 is a lower reinforcement plate 122, which bends at the edge of the relief opening to form the lower edge of the door opening 111 with the main body 110.
[0050] In some embodiments, body 110 is made of a non-metallic or metallic material. Carbon fiber, obtained through a layering process, can be used for body 110, resulting in a lightweight material that improves the range of electric vehicles. Aerogel composite materials can also be used for body 110, which are lightweight and heat-resistant. In other embodiments, body 110 can be made of steel, which, while not as effective as non-metallic materials, offers lower cost.
[0051] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2The side outer panel 100 includes a plurality of brackets 140 connected to the inner side of the body 110. The brackets 140 are spaced apart from the body 110 and have through-holes for positioning or connecting with the vehicle body frame 200. The through-holes provided in the brackets 140 can be used to position the body 110 and the vehicle body frame 200, or can serve as connection holes to connect the body 110 to the vehicle body frame 200. The number of brackets 140 can be determined as needed. There can be two, three, four, or five brackets 140. The specific location of the brackets 140 is determined as needed. For example, the body 110 can be provided with brackets 140 on both sides of the door opening 111 in the width direction.
[0052] In some embodiments, the bracket 140 and the body 110 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the bracket 140 and the body 110 can be separate structures connected by welding. When the body 110 is formed by a carbon fiber layup process, the bracket 140 can be pre-embedded in the body 110 and then laid.
[0053] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 The bracket 140 includes a positioning connecting plate 142 and embedded plates 143 connected to both ends of the positioning connecting plate 142. The two embedded plates 143 are connected to the inner side of the body 110. The positioning connecting plate 142 is spaced apart from the body 110 and has a through hole. When the through hole serves as a connection hole, a nut 141 is connected to the positioning connecting plate 142 and is coaxially connected to the through hole. The nut 141 is located between the positioning connecting plate 142 and the body 110. The body frame 200 is connected to the nut 141 via screws, thereby connecting the bracket 140 to the body frame 200 and securing the body 110 to the body frame 200.
[0054] In some embodiments, when the body 110 is made of carbon fiber using a layup process, the provision of the embedded plate 143 of the bracket 140 can improve the strength of the body 110 at this location to a certain extent. The bracket 140 can be made of steel or a carbon fiber bracket 140 made using a layup process, and this application does not limit this.
[0055] In some embodiments, the bracket 140 , the lower reinforcement 130 , and the body 110 are an integrated structure, which is obtained by a layup process using carbon fiber material, thereby simplifying the number of structures of the side outer panel 100 and simplifying the installation process.
[0056] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 9 The main body 110 is provided with a radar mounting protrusion 113 for mounting the first radar, and the radar mounting protrusion 113 is provided with a mounting through hole. Figure 1、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 The side outer panel 100 also includes a radar mounting block 150 for mounting a second radar. The radar mounting block 150 is located on the inner side of the body 110. The radar mounting block 150 is provided with a mounting surface 153 that is inclined away from the body 110, a first radar mounting hole 151 that passes through the mounting surface 153, and an embedded portion 152. The body 110 is provided with a second radar mounting hole 114 that is coaxially connected to the first radar mounting hole 151.
[0057] The first radar can be a laser radar, and the second radar can be an ultrasonic radar, both providing obstacle location signals to the driver. Radar mounting boss 113 defines a mounting hole, with a circumference around the hole designed to mate with the surface of the first radar. Radar mounting block 150 can be pre-embedded within body 110, forming an integrated structure with the body 110 and reducing the number of components. By pre-embedding radar mounting block 150 and adjusting the inclination of mounting surface 153, the mounting angle of the second radar can be adjusted without changing the exterior appearance.
[0058] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 The main body 110 is provided with two glass mounting platforms 115 for mounting the side glass 800. The bottom of the glass mounting platform 115 is connected to the vehicle body frame 200. The glass mounting platform 115 is provided with a transparent through hole. The two glass mounting platforms 115 are located on both sides of the width direction of the door opening 111. The side glass 800 is connected to the glass mounting platform 115 by gluing. Please continue to combine Figure 1 The main body 110 is further provided with a mounting countersunk hole 116 , and the inner wall of the mounting countersunk hole 116 is connected with a clamping structure that is clamped with the camera bracket 140 .
[0059] In some embodiments, the main body 110 is provided with glass mounting surfaces connected to the windshield 700 on both sides along the length direction of the vehicle body. No additional mounting structure is required, and the windshield 700 is connected to the glass mounting surfaces by gluing.
[0060] Based on the same technical concept as the first aspect, the second aspect of the present invention further provides a vehicle having fewer parts, thereby reducing the cost of developing molds.
[0061] Please combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 6The vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a body frame 200, a side outer panel 100 and a sliding door. The body frame 200 is provided with an upper longitudinal beam 210, a middle longitudinal beam 220 and a lower longitudinal beam; the side outer panel 100 is provided with at least one upper reinforcement 120 connected to the upper longitudinal beam 210; the sliding door includes a connected door body and a slide assembly, the slide assembly includes an upper slide assembly 310, a middle slide assembly 320 and a lower slide assembly 330, the middle slide assembly 320 and the lower slide assembly 330 are respectively installed on the middle longitudinal beam 220 and the lower longitudinal beam, the middle slide of the middle slide assembly 320 corresponds to the position of the middle avoidance structure 112, and the lower slide of the lower slide assembly 330 corresponds to the position of the lower avoidance structure 131.
[0062] In some embodiments, the vehicle body frame 200 may be a frame-type vehicle body, such as the driverless bus body used in the Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Park. These vehicles are often electric and relatively rare. Therefore, the use of an integrated side panel 100 can reduce the number of components, shorten the development cycle, reduce mold investment, and lower the overall cost of vehicle production. The carbon fiber side panel 100, with its high strength, minimal mold investment, and low density, can reduce the vehicle's weight and increase its range.
[0063] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 10 The upper slide assembly 310 includes a mounting bracket 311, an upper slide 312 connected to the mounting bracket 311, and a shielding member 313 that shields the outer side of the upper slide 312. The shielding member 313 is connected to the upper reinforcement 120. Specifically, the shielding member 313 is connected to the transition plate 123 of the upper reinforcement 120. The shielding member 313 is located on the outer side of the upper slide 312 to shield the upper slide 312. This prevents the upper slide 312 from being exposed and affecting the appearance when the user opens and closes the sliding door. It also protects the upper slide 312 and prevents foreign objects from entering the upper slide 312.
[0064] In some embodiments, the shielding member 313 can be a brush with a certain degree of elasticity. The slide is located in the upper slide 312120. When the sliding door moves along the length of the vehicle body, it can deform along with the mounting arm of the mounting slide without interfering with the reciprocating motion of the mounting arm along the length of the vehicle body.
[0065] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 10 The transition plate 123 of the upper reinforcement 120 is connected to a nest 314 that secures the shielding member 313. The nest 314 extends along the length of the upper slide 312 and is embedded in the shielding member 313, making it easier to replace the shielding member 313. The shielding member 313 is larger in the vertical dimension than the upper slide 312, completely shielding the upper slide 312.
[0066] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 10The mounting frame 311 includes a slide connecting plate 311a and a slide mounting plate 311b, which are connected and arranged at an angle. The slide connecting plate 311a is connected to the upper longitudinal beam 210 and / or the upper reinforcement 120, and the slide mounting plate 311b is connected to the upper slide 312. The height of the upper slide 312 is lower than the upper longitudinal beam 210, so that the position of the upper slide 312 corresponds to the position of the door opening 111. If the height of the upper slide 312 is flush with the upper longitudinal beam 210, the vertical dimension of the door opening 111 needs to be increased, which will reduce the vertical dimension of the side outer panel 100 above the door opening 111, thereby reducing the strength of the side outer panel 100 above the door opening 111. The present application adopts a design in which the upper slide 312 is positioned lower than the upper longitudinal beam 210, which not only realizes the upper slide 312 being connected to the frame-type vehicle body in a hanging manner, but also does not affect the connection between the top cover 600 and the vehicle body frame 200.
[0067] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 10 The slide connecting plate 311a is connected to the bottom surface of the upper longitudinal beam 210, and the connecting plate 121 of the upper reinforcement 120 is connected to the side surface of the upper longitudinal beam 210. The two do not interfere with each other and the connection strength is improved.
[0068] In some embodiments, the slide connecting plate 311a and the slide mounting plate 311b can be separate or integral. In some embodiments, the slide connecting plate 311a and the slide mounting plate 311b are integrally formed, resulting from bending and deformation, which increases the connection strength between the two. In some embodiments, the slide connecting plate 311a and the upper longitudinal beam 210 can be welded or screwed. The slide connecting plate 311a and the slide mounting plate 311b can be perpendicular to each other, and the angle between the slide connecting plate 311a and the slide mounting plate 311b can be acute or obtuse.
[0069] In some embodiments, please continue to combine Figure 10 The upper slide 312 and the slide mounting plate 311b are both located outside the vertical projection of the upper longitudinal beam 210, allowing the slide mounting plate 311b to extend beyond the vehicle body frame 200, thereby increasing the space enclosed by the sliding door and the vehicle body frame 200. In some embodiments, one end of the slide connecting plate 311a is connected to the bottom surface of the upper longitudinal beam 210, and the other end extends beyond the vehicle body frame 200, allowing the slide mounting plate 311b to be located outside the vertical projection of the upper longitudinal beam 210.
[0070] In some embodiments, the upper slide 312 includes a connecting upper slide and two side upper slides. The ends of the connecting upper slide are respectively connected to the other two side upper slides. The connecting upper slide and the two side upper slides together form a space with a lower opening for the upper slide. One of the side upper slides extends downward, and the slide mounting plate 311b is connected to the downwardly extending portion of one of the side upper slides. The slide mounting plate 311b can be screwed or welded to one of the side upper slides.
[0071] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 13 The vehicle further includes a roof 600. The top of the side outer panel 100 is provided with an upward-facing roof mating surface.
