[0071] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0073] This application describes a vehicle body structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body structure includes an upper body 100 and a lower body 200. The upper body 100 includes a frame 110 and a structural component 120; the structural component 120 is connected to the frame 110, and the structural component 120 and the frame 110 define a housing compartment 130; the material strength of the frame 110 is greater than the material strength of the structural component 120, and the material density of the frame 110 is greater than the material density of the structural component 120; the lower body 200 is connected to the upper body 100; wherein, the lower body 200 and the housing compartment 130 are separated.

[0074] In related technologies, a passenger compartment is formed between the upper body and the lower body of a car. During a collision, the car often collides with the lower body. In this case, the deformation between the upper and lower bodies is significant, meaning the passenger compartment deforms considerably between the space within the upper body and the space within the lower body, resulting in a higher risk of injury to passengers or items within the passenger compartment. However, in the vehicle body structure of this application, since the accommodating compartment 130 is located within the upper body 100, when it collides with the lower body 200, the accommodating compartment 130 deforms along with the upper body 100 relative to the lower body 200. The local deformation of the upper body 100 is reduced, and the deformation of the accommodating compartment 130 is also reduced, thereby lowering the risk of injury to passengers or items within the accommodating compartment 130. Meanwhile, the upper body 100 also includes a frame 110. The strong frame 110 can ensure the strength of the upper body 100, thereby further reducing the deformation of the compartment 130 and further reducing the risk of damage to passengers or items located in the compartment 130. In addition, the low-density structural components 120 can greatly reduce the weight of the vehicle body structure, achieving lightweighting of the vehicle body structure.

[0075] In this embodiment, the structure of the upper body 100 is not limited. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the upper body 100 may also have a front door opening 141 and a rear door opening 142 that are respectively connected to the housing compartment 130.

[0076] The materials of the frame 110 and the structural component 120 can be different, as long as the strength of the material of the frame 110 is greater than that of the material of the structural component 120, and the density of the material of the frame 110 is greater than that of the structural component 120. This increases the strength of the upper body 100 through the frame 110 and reduces the weight of the upper body 100 through the structural component 120. The materials of the various parts of the frame 110 can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the various parts of the frame 110 can be the same to ensure that the frame 110 as a whole has the same strength. As an example, the material of the frame 110 is high-strength steel, meaning that all parts of the frame 110 are made of high-strength steel. The materials of the various parts of the structural component 120 can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the various parts of the structural component 120 can be the same to facilitate the manufacturing of the upper body 100. As an example, the material of the structural component 120 can be non-metallic, meaning that all parts of the structural component 120 are made of non-metallic materials. In one application, the structural component 120 is made of carbon fiber, that is, all parts of the structural component 120 are made of carbon fiber, which can reduce the weight of the upper body 100 while meeting the strength requirements of the upper body 100.

[0077] Structural component 120 and frame 110 can be fixedly connected by means of adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, riveting, threaded connection, etc. The form of frame 110 is not limited. For example, frame 110 can be a cage-type frame 110, that is, at least a portion of the housing 130 is located within frame 110 to improve the safety of housing 130. As an example, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the frame 110 defines a front door opening 141 communicating with the housing 130, and a portion of a rear door opening 142 communicating with the housing 130. The structural component 120 defines the remaining portion of the rear door opening 142. To reduce the risk of collision damage to the vehicle body structure, the strength requirements for the front structural members of the vehicle body structure are high. Here, by placing the frame 110 around the front door opening 141 and the front area of ​​the rear door opening 142 on the front side of the vehicle body structure, the risk of collision damage to the vehicle body structure can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the lower density structural component 120 can also reduce the weight of the upper body 100. It should be noted that the front-rear, left-right, and top-bottom descriptions in this application are based on the driver inside the driving equipment. See [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The direction of the annotation is not specified. The form of structural component 120 is not limited. For example, structural component 120 may include a support component and a cover component. The support component is connected to the frame 110; the cover component is connected to the frame 110 and / or the support component. The support component may include a beam structure or a frame structure. The connection between the support component and the frame 110 can form the upper frame. As an example, the support component may include: two rear uprights spaced apart in the width direction, two rear longitudinal beams spaced apart in the width direction, and a rear crossbeam, with the two ends of the rear crossbeam connected to the two rear longitudinal beams respectively, and the two rear longitudinal beams connected to the top ends of the two rear uprights respectively, so that the support component forms part of the upper frame. The support component and the frame 110 can be fixedly connected by means of adhesive, snap-fit, riveting, threaded connection, etc. The structure of the cover component is not limited. The cover component is used to define the housing compartment 130 and to make the appearance of the upper body 100 neater. The cover assembly can be connected to the frame 110 via adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, or threaded connections, and it can also be connected to the support assembly via the same methods. Of course, the cover assembly can also be connected to both the frame 110 and the support assembly via adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, or threaded connections. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the covering assembly may include: floor panel 121, roof 122, inner side panel 123, outer side panel 124, and front wall panel 125. The frame 110 may be located within the structural assembly 120; that is, the entire frame 110 may be located within the structural assembly 120, so that the high-strength frame 110 forms the core structure of the upper body 100. Alternatively, only a portion of the frame 110 may be located within the structural assembly 120.

[0078] In this embodiment, the lower vehicle body 200 supports the upper vehicle body 100. The structure of the lower vehicle body 200 is not limited. For example, the lower vehicle body 200 can be a frame-like structure. The material of the lower vehicle body 200 is not limited. For example, the ductility of the material of the lower vehicle body 200 is greater than that of the material of the structural component 120, and the ductility of the material of the lower vehicle body 200 is greater than that of the material of the frame 110, thereby enabling the lower vehicle body 200 to absorb collision energy and reduce the risk of collision damage to the upper vehicle body 100. As an example, the material of the lower vehicle body 200 is aluminum alloy, the material of the frame 110 is high-strength steel, and the material of the structural component 120 is non-metallic, so that the lower vehicle body 200 absorbs collision energy, the frame 110 ensures the strength of the upper vehicle body 100, and the structural component 120 reduces the weight of the vehicle body structure. As another example, the material of the lower body 200 is aluminum alloy, the material of the frame 110 is high-strength steel, and the material of the structural component 120 is carbon fiber. At this time, the body structure can reduce the weight by about 35% compared with the existing body. At the same time, the frame 110 and the lower body 200 can also meet the five-star safety requirements of the China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) crash test.

[0079] The lower body 200 and the upper body 100 can be connected by methods such as adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, riveting, and threaded connection. As an example, the vehicle body structure can also include adhesive bonding; the upper body 100 is connected to the lower body 200 via adhesive bonding. Here, the entire connection structure between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 is adhesive bonding. This ensures the overall structural integrity of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200; for example, the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 do not require any breaks, thus guaranteeing their strength. Simultaneously, because adhesive bonding is elastic, it can also absorb collision energy, reducing the risk of collision damage to the upper body 100. The area of ​​the adhesive bonding is not limited. For example, adhesive bonding can be provided in the area between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 within a set distance to increase the bonding area and improve the connection strength. The set distance is not limited. For example, the range of the set distance can be from 2mm to 4mm. The material of the adhesive is not limited. For example, the adhesive can be a structural adhesive. In one application, the adhesive can be a polyurethane structural adhesive. It should be noted that when the skeleton 110 is located within the structural component 120, the structural component 120 of the upper body 100 is connected to the lower body 200 via the adhesive. Of course, in other examples, the skeleton 110 and structural component 120 of the upper body 100 can also be connected to the lower body 200 via adhesive.

[0080] In this embodiment, the lower body 200 and the receiving compartment 130 are separated, that is, there is a structural component between the lower body 200 and the receiving compartment 130. For example, the lower body 200 and the receiving compartment 130 can be separated by the bottom wall of the upper body 100. The bottom wall of the upper body 100 may only include a portion of the structural component 120, or it may include a portion of the structural component 120 and a portion of the frame 110. As an example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame 110 may include a bottom crossbeam 114 located on the bottom side of the accommodating compartment 130; the structural component 120 may include a floor component 121, which can be connected to the bottom crossbeam 114 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, riveting, threaded connection, etc. In this case, the bottom wall of the upper body 100 includes the floor component 121 and the bottom crossbeam 114; the lower body 200 and the accommodating compartment 130 are separated by the floor component 121 and the bottom crossbeam 114.

[0081] The structure of floor component 121 is not limited. For example, floor component 121 can be a single integral structure, that is, floor component 121 can be a structural component, such as... Figure 4As shown, the floor component 121 is integrally disposed along the length of the bottom side of the housing 130 and connected to the bottom crossbeam 114. Of course, in other examples, the floor component 121 may not be an integral structure; in this case, the floor component 121 may be formed by connecting at least two structural components. In some examples, the material of the floor component 121 may be carbon fiber. Here, the layup method of the floor component 121 is not limited. For example, the floor component 121 may include: a top fabric layup 1211, a bottom fabric layup 1212, and at least one unidirectional layup 1213. The top fabric layup 1211 is located on the side facing the receiving compartment 130; the bottom fabric layup 1212 is located on the side facing away from the receiving compartment 130 and is spaced apart from the top fabric layup 1211; at least one unidirectional layup 1213 is located between the top fabric layup 1211 and the bottom fabric layup 1212; the top fabric layup 1211 and the bottom fabric layup 1212 have interlaced fiber strips, thereby improving the abrasion resistance of the floor component 121; at the same time, the top fabric layup 1211 and the bottom fabric layup 1212 can also ensure the overall coverage of the floor component 121; the unidirectional layup 1213 has unidirectional fiber strips, which can increase the thickness of the floor component 121, improve the strength of the floor component 121, and facilitate processing and manufacturing; at the same time, the intermediate layups all use unidirectional fiber strips, which can also achieve optimal lightweight effect. As an example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top fabric layup 1211 and the bottom fabric layup 1212 include fiber strips arranged alternately at ±45 degrees. There are 10 unidirectional layups 1213 between the top fabric layup 1211 and the bottom fabric layup 1212, and the 10 unidirectional layups 1213 are arranged symmetrically. From the bottom fabric layup 1212 to the symmetrical plane B, they are arranged sequentially as 0-degree unidirectional layup 1213, 90-degree unidirectional layup 1213, 0-degree unidirectional layup 1213, 90-degree unidirectional layup 1213, and 0-degree unidirectional layup 1213.

[0082] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 130 includes a front compartment 131 and a middle compartment 132 arranged adjacent to each other along the length direction; the frame 110 and the first part of the structural component 120 jointly define part of the space of the front compartment 131 and the middle compartment 132; the second part of the structural component 120 defines the remaining space of the middle compartment 132. By setting the frame 110 in the front area of ​​the vehicle body structure where collisions are likely to occur, the overall strength of the vehicle body structure can be guaranteed, and the safety of the housing 130 can be guaranteed; at the same time, the overall weight of the vehicle body structure can be reduced by using the low-density structural component 120.

[0083] In this implementation, part of the space of the middle compartment 132 is located on the side closer to the front compartment 131, and the remaining space of the middle compartment 132 is located on the side farther away from the front compartment 131. That is, the frame 110 is located on the front side of the upper body 100.

[0084] In this implementation, the specific structure of the frame 110 is not limited, as long as the frame 110 is located on the front side of the upper body 100.

[0085] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 110 includes: two top longitudinal beams 111, two bottom longitudinal beams 112, a top transverse beam 113, a bottom transverse beam 114, two middle vertical beams 115, and two front vertical beams 116. Two top longitudinal beams 111 are spaced apart in the width direction; two bottom longitudinal beams 112 are spaced apart in the width direction; the two bottom longitudinal beams 112 are located on the bottom sides of the two top longitudinal beams 111; top transverse beams 113 are connected to the two top longitudinal beams 111 respectively; bottom transverse beams 114 are connected to the two bottom longitudinal beams 112 respectively; two middle vertical beams 115 are spaced apart in the width direction and correspond to the positions of the bottom transverse beams 114; one of the two middle vertical beams 115 is connected to one of the top longitudinal beams 111 and one of the bottom longitudinal beams 112 respectively, and the other middle vertical beam 115 is connected to the other top longitudinal beam 111 and the other bottom longitudinal beam 112 respectively; two front vertical beams 116 are spaced apart in the width direction. The directional spacing is configured as follows: one of the two front vertical beams 116 is connected to one of the two top longitudinal beams 111 and one of the two bottom longitudinal beams 112, respectively; the other front vertical beam 116 is connected to the other top longitudinal beam 111 and the other bottom longitudinal beam 112, respectively; the two top longitudinal beams 111, the two bottom longitudinal beams 112, the top transverse beam 113, the bottom transverse beam 114, the two middle vertical beams 115, and the two front vertical beams 116 define the forward compartment 131; the two top longitudinal beams 111, the two bottom longitudinal beams 112, the top transverse beam 113, the bottom transverse beam 114, and the two middle vertical beams 115 define a portion of the space in the middle compartment 132; the structural assembly 120 defines the remaining space in the middle compartment 132. Here, the width direction refers to the direction formed between left and right.

[0086] Here, the beams can be fixedly connected by welding, snap-fitting, riveting, threaded connection, etc. Of course, the frame 110 can also be a structural component.

[0087] Here, the top crossbeam 113 can be the middle crossbeam of the roof, the bottom crossbeam 114 can be the middle crossbeam of the floor, the top longitudinal beam 111 can be the upper reinforcement of the A-pillar, the bottom longitudinal beam 112 can be the side sill reinforcement, the middle vertical beam 115 can be the B-pillar reinforcement, and the front vertical beam 116 can be the lower reinforcement of the A-pillar.

[0088] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the material of the lower body 200 has greater ductility than the material of the structural component 120, the material of the lower body 200 has greater ductility than the material of the frame 110, and the lower body 200 absorbs collision energy, thereby reducing the damage caused by the collision energy to the upper body 100.

[0089] In this implementation, the lower body 200 may include at least two beams, which can be connected by a connecting structure. The connecting structure is not limited; for example, it can be a threaded structure, a welded structure, etc. Here, the at least two beams are different structural components. Compared to a one-piece lower body 200, the lower body 200 formed by at least two beams has lower manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by replacing some beams of the lower body 200, different models of lower bodies 200 can be formed. That is, different models of lower bodies 200 can share some beams, thereby enabling the scalability and platform application of the lower body 200. The material of the beams is not limited. For example, the beams can be aluminum alloy profiles.

[0090] In this implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower body 200 may include a middle frame structure 210, which may include a left main longitudinal beam 211, a right main longitudinal beam 212, a front main crossbeam 213, and a rear main crossbeam 214. The right main longitudinal beam 212 is spaced apart from the left main longitudinal beam 211 in the width direction; the front main crossbeam 213 is connected to the front ends of the left main longitudinal beam 211 and the right main longitudinal beam 212 respectively; the rear main crossbeam 214 is connected to the rear ends of the left main longitudinal beam 211 and the right main longitudinal beam 212 respectively; a receiving space 217 is defined between the left main longitudinal beam 211, the front main crossbeam 213, the right main longitudinal beam 212, and the rear main crossbeam 214 to accommodate functional structures, thereby reducing the space required for the functional structures. As an example, the receiving space 217 is used to accommodate a battery.

[0091] The left main longitudinal beam 211, the front main crossbeam 213, the right main longitudinal beam 212, and the rear main crossbeam 214 can be different structural components, and each beam can be fixedly connected by welding, snap-fitting, riveting, threaded connection, etc. Of course, in other implementations, the left main longitudinal beam 211, the front main crossbeam 213, the right main longitudinal beam 212, and the rear main crossbeam 214 can also be a single structural component, that is, the left main longitudinal beam 211, the front main crossbeam 213, the right main longitudinal beam 212, and the rear main crossbeam 214 are an integral structure.

[0092] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the middle frame structure 210 may further include: at least one left reinforcing beam 215 and at least one right reinforcing beam 216. The at least one left reinforcing beam 215 is connected to the left main longitudinal beam 211 and the front main cross beam 213, respectively; the at least one right reinforcing beam 216 is connected to the right main longitudinal beam 212 and the front main cross beam 213, respectively, to improve the strength of the middle frame structure 210. Simultaneously, placing the left reinforcing beam 215 and the right reinforcing beam 216 on the front side, which is prone to collisions, can greatly improve the overall strength of the middle frame structure 210. Here, the left reinforcing beam 215, the right reinforcing beam 216, the left main longitudinal beam 211, the front main cross beam 213, the right main longitudinal beam 212, and the rear main cross beam 214 can be different structural components.

[0093] In this implementation, the lower body 200 may further include a front frame structure 220; the front frame structure 220 may include a left front longitudinal beam 221, a right front longitudinal beam 222, and a front bumper crossbeam 223. The left front longitudinal beam 221 is connected to the front main crossbeam 213; the right front longitudinal beam 222 is spaced apart from the left front longitudinal beam 221 in the width direction and is connected to the front main crossbeam 213; the front bumper crossbeam 223 is connected to the front ends of the left front longitudinal beam 221 and the right front longitudinal beam 222, respectively. Here, the front main crossbeam 213, the left front longitudinal beam 221, the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the front bumper crossbeam 223 can be different structural components. Of course, the front main crossbeam 213, the left front longitudinal beam 221, the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the front bumper crossbeam 223 can also be the same structural component. Here, the lower body 200 may also include two reinforcing structures 230, which are disposed at both ends of the front main crossbeam 213 and connected to the left front longitudinal beam 221 and the right front longitudinal beam 222 respectively, so as to improve the connection strength between the lower front frame structure 220 and the middle frame structure 210; at the same time, since the front frame structure 220 is prone to collision, the reinforcing structures 230 can prevent the front frame structure 220 from collided and deformed relative to the middle frame structure 210.

[0094] The form of the reinforcing structure 230 is not limited. For example, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the reinforcing structure 230 may include a first annular frame 231 and a second annular frame 233. Here, the annular reinforcing structure 230 can greatly improve the deformation resistance of the reinforcing structure 230, thereby greatly reducing the deformation of the front frame structure 220 when a collision occurs.

[0095] The first annular frame 231 may have a first wall and a second wall arranged adjacent to each other. The first wall is arranged along the length direction of the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the second wall is arranged along the length direction of the front main crossbeam 213 at the end side of the front main crossbeam 213. The first wall can greatly increase the contact area between the reinforcing structure 230 and the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the second wall can greatly increase the contact area between the reinforcing structure 230 and the front main crossbeam 213, thereby preventing local damage to the reinforcing structure 230 due to stress concentration. At the same time, the reinforcing structure 230 can be connected to the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222 through the entire first wall, and the reinforcing structure 230 can be connected to the front main crossbeam 213 through the entire second wall, thereby greatly increasing the connection area, improving the connection strength, and further improving the strength of the undercarriage 200.

[0096] The second annular frame 233 may have a third wall and a fourth wall arranged adjacent to each other, and located on opposite sides of the first annular frame 231 on the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222; the third wall is arranged along the length direction of the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the fourth wall is arranged along the length direction of the front main crossbeam 213 on the front main crossbeam 213. The third wall can greatly increase the contact area between the reinforcing structure 230 and the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222, and the fourth wall can greatly increase the contact area between the reinforcing structure 230 and the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222. The contact area with the front main crossbeam 213 can prevent local damage to the reinforcing structure 230 due to stress concentration. At the same time, the reinforcing structure 230 can be connected to the left front longitudinal beam 221 or the right front longitudinal beam 222 through the entire third wall, and the reinforcing structure 230 can be connected to the front main crossbeam 213 through the entire fourth wall, which can greatly increase the connection area, improve the connection strength, and further improve the strength of the lower body 200. Here, the reinforcing structure 230 and the beam can be fixedly connected by means of bonding, welding or other methods.

[0097] Here, a first annular frame 231 can be located on the side of the left front longitudinal beam 221 away from the right front longitudinal beam 222, and another first annular frame 231 can be located on the side of the right front longitudinal beam 222 away from the left front longitudinal beam 221. A second annular frame 233 can be located on the side of the left front longitudinal beam 221 close to the right front longitudinal beam 222, and another second annular frame 233 can be located on the side of the right front longitudinal beam 222 close to the left front longitudinal beam 221. Of course, the reinforcing structure 230 may also include only one of the first annular frame 231 and the second annular frame 233.

[0098] In some examples, the first annular frame 231 can be triangular to improve its stability. The second annular frame 233 can be quadrilateral. In one application, such as Figure 8As shown, the reinforcing structure 230 may further include: a first set of reinforcing ribs 232 and a second set of reinforcing ribs 234. The first set of reinforcing ribs 232 may be arranged in a W-shape within the first annular frame 231 and connected to the first annular frame 231 to further improve the strength of the first annular frame 231 and prevent deformation of the first annular frame 231 during a collision; the second set of reinforcing ribs 234 may be arranged in a cross-shape within the second annular frame 233 and connected to the second annular frame 233 to further improve the strength of the second annular frame 233 and prevent deformation of the second annular frame 233 during a collision. Of course, in other examples, the reinforcing structure 230 may not include at least one of the first set of reinforcing ribs 232 and the second set of reinforcing ribs 234.
