[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5According to the present invention, a pickup truck bed assembly 100 includes: an inner bed panel assembly 110, a side panel assembly 120, and a rear pillar assembly 130. The side panel assembly 120 includes: an outer side panel 121 and a front connecting plate 122. The outer side panel 121 is disposed on the outside of the inner bed panel assembly 110 and fixedly connected thereto. The front connecting plate 122 is disposed at the front end of the outer side panel 121 and is fixedly connected to the inner bed panel assembly 110. The rear pillar assembly 130 is disposed at the rear of the inner bed panel assembly 110 and is connected to the inner bed panel assembly 110.
[0039] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 The front connecting plate 122 can be fixed to the inner side of the side plate outer plate 121 by welding. The front connecting plate 122 can be arranged opposite to the inner plate assembly 110 in the front-rear direction, and the front connecting plate 122 can be fixedly connected to the inner plate assembly 110.
[0040] Further integration Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rear pillar assembly 130 is fixedly installed at the rear of the inner panel assembly 110 of the vehicle body, and the rear ends of the rear pillar assembly 130 and the side panel assembly 120 are arranged opposite each other in the inward and outward directions. The side panel assembly 120 can be fixedly connected to the rear pillar assembly 130, so that the side panel assembly 120 can be fixedly connected to the inner panel assembly 110 of the vehicle body through the rear pillar assembly 130.
[0041] It should be noted that the "inner and outer" directions refer to the Y-direction of the vehicle, with "inner" referring to the direction extending from the side panel assembly 120 towards the inner panel assembly 110, and "outer" referring to the direction extending from the side panel assembly 120 away from the inner panel assembly 110. The "front and rear" directions refer to the X-direction of the vehicle, with "front" referring to the direction extending from the inner panel assembly 110 away from the rear pillar assembly 130, and "rear" referring to the direction extending from the inner panel assembly 110 towards the rear pillar assembly 130. The "fixed connection" can be a threaded connection.
[0042] In related technologies, pickup truck body assemblies typically require the sequential assembly and splicing of components, with each component welded together. This setup makes the assembly process of pickup truck body assemblies complex and prone to tolerance issues, leading to assembly difficulties.
[0043] In this invention, the pickup truck body assembly 100 is divided into the inner panel assembly 110, the side panel assembly 120 and the rear pillar assembly 130. Each assembly is assembled separately and then assembled together to facilitate the assembly of the pickup truck body assembly 100. At the same time, the use of threaded connections can ensure the assembly accuracy of the pickup truck body assembly 100.
[0044] According to the pickup truck body assembly 100 of the present invention, by dividing the pickup truck body assembly 100 into an inner panel assembly 110, a side panel assembly 120, and a rear pillar assembly 130, the structure of the pickup truck body assembly 100 is reasonably divided. Furthermore, the inner panel assembly 110, the side panel assembly 120, and the rear pillar assembly 130 can all be fixedly connected by threaded connection, which facilitates the assembly of the pickup truck body assembly 100, ensures the assembly accuracy of the pickup truck body assembly 100, improves the production efficiency of the pickup truck body assembly 100, and reduces the production cost.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the side panel assembly 120 includes a left side panel assembly and a right side panel assembly. The left side panel assembly and the right side panel assembly have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged in the inward and outward directions. Both the left side panel assembly and the right side panel assembly are fixedly connected to the inner panel assembly 110 of the vehicle body. The following description takes the left side panel assembly as an example.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner panel assembly 110 includes: an inner panel body 111 and a first connecting plate 1114. The inner panel body 111 includes: a bottom plate 1111, a front upright plate 1112 and a side upright plate 1113. The front upright plate 1112 is disposed at the front end of the bottom plate 1111 and extends vertically. The side upright plates 1113 are disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 1111 and extend vertically. The first connecting plate 1114 is disposed between the side upright plate 1113 and the outer side plate 121, and the first connecting plate 1114 is connected to the side upright plate 1113 and the outer side plate 121 respectively.
[0047] Specifically, the bottom plate 1111 is connected to the front upright plate 1112 and the side upright plate 1113 respectively, so as to define the inner panel body 111 of the carriage as an upward and rearward open groove structure, which is convenient for carrying goods.
[0048] Further integration Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first connecting plate 1114 is used to connect the side upright plate 1113 and the outer side plate 121. The first connecting plate 1114 is fixedly installed on the outside of the side upright plate 1113, and the first connecting plate 1114 and the outer side plate 121 are arranged opposite each other in the inward and outward directions to facilitate the connection between the side upright plate 1113 and the outer side plate 121. Multiple first connecting plates 1114 can be provided, and multiple first connecting plates 1114 are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction to provide multiple connection points for the outer side plate 121 and make the connection points evenly distributed to improve the connection stability between the outer side plate 121 and the side upright plate 1113.
[0049] It should be noted that when two components are fixedly connected by a threaded connection, the two components are provided with oppositely arranged hole structures. The threaded connector passes through the hole structures on the two components and can fix the two components together. The "connection point" refers to the position where the two components are connected by the threaded connector.
[0050] Optionally, with Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment is described using an example. The first connecting plate 1114 may include: a first connecting flange 11141, a first connecting portion 11142, a first extension portion 11143, and a second connecting flange 11144. (In conjunction with...) Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first connecting flange 11141 is used to connect with the side upright 1113, and the second connecting flange 11144 is used to connect with the outer side panel 121. After the outer side panel 121 is assembled with the inner panel assembly 110, the first connecting part 11142 and the first extension part 11143 can support the outer side panel 121 and the side upright 1113 in the inward and outward directions, thereby improving the structural strength of the outer side panel 121 and reducing the risk of deformation of the outer side panel 121.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting flange 11141 is disposed opposite to the side upright plate 1113 in the inward and outward directions, and the first connecting flange 11141 is connected to the side upright plate 1113. The first connecting portion 11142 is connected to the lower end of the first connecting flange 11141, and the first connecting portion 11142 can extend obliquely downward from the first connecting flange 11141. The first extension portion 11143 is connected to the end of the first connecting portion 11142 that is away from the first connecting flange 11141. Furthermore, the first extension 11143 can extend straight outward from the first connecting part 11142, and the second connecting flange 11144 is connected to the end of the first extension 11143 away from the first connecting part 11142. The second connecting flange 11144 extends vertically downward from the first extension 11143, and the outer plate 121 of the side plate and the second connecting flange 11144 are arranged opposite to each other in the inward and outward directions, so as to connect the outer plate 121 of the side plate and the second connecting flange 11144.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the side panel assembly 120 further includes a rear support plate 123, which is disposed at the lower part of the side panel outer plate 121 and connected to the side panel outer plate 121. The inner panel assembly 110 further includes a second connecting plate 112, which is disposed between the side panel assembly 120 and the side upright plate 1113, and is connected to the side upright plate 1113, the side panel outer plate 121 and the rear support plate 123 respectively.
[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 5The rear support plate 123 is located on the side of the outer plate 121 away from the front connecting plate 122, and the rear support plate 123 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer plate 121. The rear support plate 123 can be used to support the outer plate 121.
[0054] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second connecting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the side plate 1113, and at least a portion of the second connecting plate 112 can be arranged opposite to the rear support plate 123 in the inward and outward directions, that is, the second connecting plate 112 is arranged behind the first connecting plate 1114 and spaced apart from the first connecting plate 1114.
[0055] Optionally, with Figure 4 The embodiment shown is described as an example. The second connecting plate 112 can be constructed as a triangular plate, and the second connecting plate 112 can be set perpendicular to the side plate 1113 in the inward and outward directions. The second connecting plate 112 can be fixedly connected to the rear support plate 123, and the second connecting plate 112 can also be fixedly connected to the outer plate 121 of the side plate.
[0056] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the second connecting plate 112 is constructed as a triangular plate, a third connecting flange 1121, a fourth connecting flange 1122, and a fifth connecting flange 1123 can be respectively provided at the three apex corners of the second connecting plate 112. Among them, the third connecting flange 1121 is arranged opposite to the side plate 1113 in the inward and outward direction and is used to connect with the side plate 1113. The fourth connecting flange 1122 is arranged opposite to the outer plate 121 of the side plate in the inward and outward direction and is used to connect with the outer plate 121 of the side plate.
[0057] Further integration Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rear support plate 123 includes a support plate body 1231 and a bending portion 1232. The support plate body 1231 is connected to the lower part of the outer side plate 121, and the support plate body 1231 can extend inward and downward from the outer side plate 121. The bending portion 1232 is connected to the side of the support plate body 1231 away from the outer side plate 121, and the bending portion 1232 extends inward from the support plate body 1231.
[0058] There can be two fifth connecting flanges 1123. One of the two fifth connecting flanges 1123 can be set at the bottom corner of the second connecting plate 112. The fifth connecting flange 1123 and the bending part 1232 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction so that the fifth connecting flange 1123 can be connected to the bending part 1232, thereby allowing the second connecting plate 112 to be connected to the rear support plate 123 in the vertical direction.
[0059] The other of the two fifth connecting flanges 1123 can be located at the connection point between the fourth connecting flange 1122 and the lower corner of the second connecting plate 112. This fifth connecting flange 1123 can be positioned opposite the support plate body 1231 in the inward and outward directions, allowing it to connect to the support plate body 1231, thereby enabling the second connecting plate 112 to connect to the rear support plate 123. This arrangement increases the number of connection points between the second connecting plate 112 and the rear support plate 123, improving the connection stability between the second connecting plate 112 and the support plate.
[0060] Therefore, by providing a second connecting plate 112 on the side panel 1113, the lower part of the side panel assembly 120 can be connected to the side panel 1113, thereby further fixing the side panel assembly 120 to the inner panel assembly 110 of the vehicle body. Furthermore, the second connecting plate 112 can support the outer side panel 121 in the inward and outward directions, improving the structural strength of the outer side panel 121 and preventing deformation. The second connecting plate 112 can also support the rear support plate 123 in the inward and outward directions, improving the structural strength of the rear support plate 123 and preventing deformation. When the second connecting plate 112 is constructed as a triangular plate, it can form a triangular support between the outer side panel 121, the rear support plate 123, and the side panel 1113, thereby improving the support effect of the second connecting plate 112.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body further includes: a first flange 1115, a second flange 1116 and a third flange 1117. The first flange 1115 is disposed at the front end of the side upright 1113 and extends outward, and the first flange 1115 is connected to the front connecting plate 122. The second flange 1116 is disposed at the upper end of the side upright 1113 and extends outward, and the second flange 1116 is connected to the outer side panel 121. The third flange 1117 is disposed at the rear end of the side upright 1113 and extends outward, and the third flange 1117 is connected to the rear pillar assembly 130.
[0062] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 The front connecting plate 122 is disposed on the outer side of the side plate outer plate 121, and the front connecting plate 122 extends inward from the side plate outer plate 121. The front connecting plate 122 can overlap and cooperate with the first flange 1115 in the front-back direction so that the front connecting plate 122 and the first flange 1115 can be fixedly connected.
[0063] Further reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The upper end of the outer side panel 121 is provided with a first overlapping flange 1211. The first overlapping flange 1211 extends inward from the outer side panel 121 and can overlap the second flange 1116 in the vertical direction so that the first overlapping flange 1211 and the second flange 1116 can be fixedly connected, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the outer side panel 121 and the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the third flange 1117 and the two sides of the rear pillar assembly 130 are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction, and the two sides of the rear pillar assembly 130 can overlap and cooperate with the third flange 1117 so that the rear pillar assembly 130 and the third flange 1117 can be fixedly connected, and the rear pillar assembly 130 can be fixedly connected with the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner panel assembly 110 further includes: a first reinforcing plate 141, a second reinforcing plate 142, and a third reinforcing plate. The first reinforcing plate 141 is fitted and fixedly connected to the first flange 1115, the second reinforcing plate 142 is disposed on the lower surface of the second flange 1116, and the second reinforcing plate 142 is fitted and fixedly connected to the second flange 1116, and the third reinforcing plate is fitted and fixedly connected to the third flange 1117.
[0066] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The first reinforcing plate 141 is disposed on the side opposite to the first flange 1115 overlapping with the front connecting plate 122, and multiple first reinforcing plates 141 can be disposed. Multiple first reinforcing plates 141 are installed on the first flange 1115 at the location of the connection point to improve the local strength of the first flange 1115 at the connection point, reduce the risk of damage to the first flange 1115 at the connection point, and improve the durability of the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, multiple second reinforcing plates 142 can be provided. Multiple second reinforcing plates 142 are installed on the second flange 1116 at the position where the connection point is provided, so as to improve the local strength of the second flange 1116 at the connection point, reduce the risk of damage to the second flange 1116 at the connection point, and improve the durability of the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0068] The third reinforcing plate is located on the side opposite to the third flange 1117 and the rear pillar assembly 130. Multiple third reinforcing plates can be provided and installed at the connection points of the third flange 1117 to improve the local strength of the third flange 1117 at the connection points, reduce the risk of damage to the third flange 1117 at the connection points, and improve the durability of the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0069] Therefore, by providing multiple reinforcing plates on the inner panel body 111 of the truck bed, the local strength of the inner panel body 111 can be improved, thereby enhancing the durability of the inner panel body and thus improving the durability of the pickup truck bed assembly 100.
[0070] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the rear column assembly 130 includes a rear crossbeam assembly 131 and two column assemblies 132. The rear crossbeam assembly 131 is disposed on the base plate 1111 and is fixedly connected to the base plate 1111. The two column assemblies 132 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rear crossbeam assembly 131 and extend vertically.
[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rear crossbeam assembly 131 is constructed as a beam structure extending in both the inward and outward directions, and the rear part of the base plate 1111 can be vertically overlapped on the rear crossbeam assembly 131 to facilitate a fixed connection between the base plate 1111 and the rear crossbeam assembly 131. At each end of the rear crossbeam assembly 131, a column assembly 132 is provided, and the column assembly 132 extends vertically to construct the rear column assembly 130 as a U-shaped structure, adapting its shape to the shape of the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body. Constructing the rear column assembly 130 as a U-shape ensures the structural strength of the rear column assembly 130.
[0072] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the column assembly 132 includes: a first overlapping portion 1321, a second overlapping portion 1322, and a third overlapping portion 1323. The first overlapping portion 1321 is disposed at the front end of the column assembly 132 and overlaps with the side plate 1113. The second overlapping portion 1322 is disposed at the upper end of the column assembly 132 and overlaps with the side plate assembly 120 vertically. The third overlapping portion 1323 is disposed at the rear end of the column assembly 132 and overlaps with the side plate assembly 120 internally and externally.
[0073] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The pillar assembly 132 and the side panel 1113 are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction. The first overlapping part 1321 and the third flange 1117 are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction, and the first overlapping part 1321 can overlap and cooperate with the third flange 1117 so that the first overlapping part 1321 and the third flange 1117 are fixedly connected, so that the rear pillar assembly 130 can be fixedly connected with the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body.
[0074] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second overlapping part 1322 and the first overlapping flange 1211 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the first overlapping flange 1211 can overlap the second overlapping part 1322 so that the first overlapping flange 1211 and the second overlapping part 1322 can be fixedly connected, thereby allowing the outer plate of the side plate 121 to be fixedly connected to the column assembly 132.
[0075] The third overlapping portion 1323 is provided at the rear end of the column assembly 132 and extends rearward from the column assembly 132. The third overlapping portion 1323 and the side plate assembly 120 are arranged opposite each other in the inward and outward directions, and the side plate assembly 120 can overlap the third overlapping portion 1323 so that the side plate assembly 120 and the third overlapping portion 1323 can be fixedly connected.
[0076] Therefore, the rear pillar assembly 130 can be fixedly connected to the inner panel assembly 110 of the truck bed, and the rear pillar assembly 130 can also be fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 120. The inner panel assembly 110 of the truck bed can be fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 120, so as to realize the fixed connection between the rear pillar assembly 130, the inner panel assembly 110 of the truck bed and the side panel assembly 120, thereby completing the assembly of the pickup truck bed assembly 100 and improving assembly efficiency.
[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, in a further embodiment of the present invention, the rear column assembly 130 further includes an overlapping plate 133. The overlapping plate 133 is disposed at the lower end of the column assembly 132, and the overlapping plate 133 can extend obliquely downward from the column assembly 132. The lower end of the overlapping plate 133 and the lower end of the rear support plate 123 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction to support the side plate assembly 120 in the vertical direction and improve the connection stability of the side plate assembly 120.
[0078] Optionally, the overlapping plate 133 may be provided with weight-reduction holes 1331, which can reduce the weight of the rear pillar assembly 130, thereby facilitating the lightweight design of the pickup truck body assembly 100. At the same time, the setting of the weight-reduction holes 1331 can also save materials for the rear pillar assembly 130, reducing costs.
[0079] The rear pillar assembly 130 can be made of die-cast aluminum to further reduce its weight and lower costs.
[0080] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the side plate assembly 120 further includes a rear column sub-assembly 150, which is disposed at the rear of the side plate outer plate 121 and connected to the side plate outer plate 121. The rear column sub-assembly 150 is provided with an overlapping mating part 151, which overlaps and engages with a third overlapping part 1323 and is connected and fixed.
[0081] Specifically, the rear column sub-assembly 150 can be installed on the inner side of the side plate outer plate 121 by welding, and the rear column sub-assembly 150 is located at the end away from the front connecting plate 122. The rear column sub-assembly 150 and the rear column assembly 130 are arranged opposite each other in the inward and outward directions.
[0082] Further integration Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The overlapping part 151 and the third overlapping part 1323 are arranged opposite to each other in the inner and outer directions so that the overlapping part 151 and the third overlapping part 1323 can overlap and be fixedly connected. The rear column sub-assembly 150 is fixedly connected to the side plate outer plate 121. The third overlapping part 1323 is provided on the rear column assembly 130, so that the side plate outer plate 121 can be fixedly connected to the rear column assembly 130.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner panel body 111 of the vehicle body is constructed as an integral structure of SMC material.
[0084] Specifically, constructing the inner panel body 111 of the truck bed using SMC material allows for a one-piece structure of the inner panel body 111, eliminating the need to assemble components such as the side panels 1113 and the floor 1111 separately. This facilitates the assembly of the pickup truck bed assembly 100 and improves the production efficiency of the pickup truck bed assembly 100. Furthermore, SMC material is lighter than metal materials, which is beneficial for achieving a lightweight design of the pickup truck bed assembly 100.
[0085] It should be noted that SMC material is a composite material, a type of fiberglass.
[0086] The inner panel assembly 110, side panel assembly 120 and rear pillar assembly 130 are mainly assembled by threaded connections. The connection points can be reasonably set through calculation to meet the assembly accuracy requirements and ensure the performance of the pickup truck body assembly 100.
[0087] The pickup truck bed inner panel assembly 110 is mainly used to carry goods. When the inner panel body 111 is made of SMC material, the thickness and other structural design of the inner panel body 111 need to meet the strength requirements, which are not specifically limited here.
[0088] The pickup truck according to the present invention includes the pickup truck body assembly 100 described above. Because the pickup truck is equipped with the pickup truck body assembly 100, the structure of the pickup truck can be rationally divided to meet the requirements of assembly precision, and the performance of the pickup truck body assembly 100 can be guaranteed, reducing the production cost of the pickup truck. Furthermore, the use of SMC material for the inner panel body 111 allows for an integrated structure of the inner panel body 111, improving the assembly production efficiency of the pickup truck and facilitating its lightweight design.
[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
