[0025] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following is a further detailed description of the driver's cab structure of an aluminum alloy urban C-type vehicle of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in the structure, the present application provides an aluminum alloy urban C-type vehicle cab structure, through Figure 1 It can be seen that the driver's cab structure of the aluminum alloy urban C-type vehicle is arranged at one end of the vehicle body. Figure 2, Figure 3 As shown in the structure, the cab structure of the aluminum alloy urban C-type vehicle includes an external aluminum alloy skin and an internal aluminum alloy frame, which are spliced ​​together with the vehicle body as a whole, ensuring the strength and stability of the cab structure. The aluminum alloy frame and the aluminum alloy skin are welded inside the cab, and the welding position is intermittent welding. Sealant is applied to the intermittent welds to ensure the sealing of the cab.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown in the structure, the aluminum alloy skin is a 4mm aluminum alloy sheet formed by superplastic process. The front window skin 1, the roof skin 2, and a side wall skin 3 on each side are formed. The roof skin 2 is arranged above the driver's cab, the front window skin 1 is located at the front end of the driver's cab, and the side wall skins 3 are distributed on both sides of the driver's cab. The external aluminum alloy skin is formed by welding. The overall skin is streamlined. The overall skin shape is consistent with the arc shape of the driver's cab. After overall welding, it has a good sealing effect. There are only four skins, small welding deformation, smooth surface of the driver's cab structure, and streamlined design. It can effectively reduce wind resistance when the urban vehicle runs at high speed. The aluminum alloy skin can provide interfaces for wipers, roof lights, side windows, etc.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown in the structure, the aluminum alloy skeleton includes a front wall component 4, an A-pillar 5, a longitudinal beam component 6, a cross beam 7, a column 8, a door frame component 9, a reinforcing rib 10, and a rear ring beam component 11. The front end of an A-pillar 5 on each side is welded to the front wall component 4, and the rear end is welded to the rear ring beam component 11. The front end of a longitudinal beam component 6 on each side is welded to the front wall component 4, and the rear end is welded to the door frame component 9. The front end of a door frame component 9 on each side is welded to the longitudinal beam component 6. There are three cross beams 7 with a width of 100 formed by bending 5mm aluminum alloy plates between the door frame component 9 and the rear ring beam component 11. The front ends of the three cross beams 7 are welded to the door frame component 9, and the rear ends are welded to the rear ring beam component 11. There are three columns 8 on each side welded below the longitudinal beam component 6. The reinforcing ribs 10 are distributed on the top of the driver's cab and are fixedly connected to the surrounding components.

[0029] like Figure 6As shown in the structure, the front wall component 4 is formed by welding the upper connecting plate 401, L-shaped connecting plate 402, left connecting plate 403, right connecting plate 404, mounting seat 405, and plugging plate 406 after cutting and forming of 15mm aluminum alloy plate. The upper connecting plate 401, L-shaped connecting plate 402, left connecting plate 403, and right connecting plate 404 form the front facade of the driver's cab structure. The outer contour is consistent with the arc of the aluminum alloy skin, which is conducive to protecting the sealing of the driver's cab structure. The surface of the front wall component 4 has a circular hole to provide an interface for the installation of the opening and closing mechanism. The mounting seat 405 is welded on the plane of the L-shaped connecting plate 402 to provide an interface for the installation of the wiper, ensuring the stability, reliability and flatness of the installation of the wiper. The plugging plate 406 is located between the L-shaped connecting plate 402 and the mounting seat 405, and the L-shaped connecting plate 402 and the mounting seat 405 are fixedly connected together, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the mounting seat 405.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown in the structure, the A-pillar 5, the longitudinal beam component 6, and the column 8 are all stamped from a special shaped profile with a wall thickness of 8 mm. The interior of the profile is a hollow structure, which realizes a lightweight design while ensuring strength. The shape of a single component is consistent with the arc shape of the driver's cab skin after machining on a CNC lathe and stamping. The longitudinal beam component 6 is spliced ​​from a first-end longitudinal beam 601 and a second-end longitudinal beam 602. The A-pillar 5 and the longitudinal beam component 6 penetrate the driver's cab while ensuring that the shape is consistent with the arc shape of the driver's cab skin, and bear most of the horizontal force of the driver's cab structure.

[0031] like Figure 8 As shown in the structure, the door frame component 9 is formed by welding the upper door frame 901, the left door column 902, the right door column 903, and the lower door frame 904 formed by 50mm aluminum alloy plate processed by CNC lathe. This splicing structure reduces the cost of forming a whole large aluminum alloy plate while ensuring the strength of the door frame structure.

[0032] like Fig. 9 As shown in the structure, the rear ring beam component 11 is composed of a rear cross beam 1101 formed by stamping and bending a "U"-shaped aluminum profile, and a rear vertical beam 1102 on each side. It supports the overall cab structure and plays a role in connecting the cab and the car body. The shape is consistent with the arc shape of the cab skin.
