[0002] The body side is an important part of the body structure of the car, which generally includes the side outer panel, the side reinforcement panel and the side inner panel. During stamping, the side outer panel, the side reinforcement panel and the side inner panel are manufactured separately and then welded together to form the body side. However, due to the existing structure of the body side, the various components of the body side, especially the structure of the side outer panel, are relatively complex, resulting in high development costs for stamping dies. In addition, the weight of the existing body side is generally heavy, which is not conducive to the lightweight design of the vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a vehicle body side panel to simplify the structure of the side panel outer panel and reduce the weight of the vehicle body side panel.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0005] A vehicle body side panel comprises an inner panel unit and an outer panel unit, and a decorative component extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle; the inner panel unit is composed of a side panel inner panel; the outer panel unit comprises a side panel reinforcement plate and a side panel outer panel spliced ​​together, and the side panel outer panel is connected to the rear lower part of the side panel reinforcement plate, and the decorative component is arranged at the top end of the side panel reinforcement plate.

[0006] Further, the side panel reinforcement plate includes a front section of an upper side beam reinforcement plate, a door sill reinforcement plate, a pillar reinforcement unit connected between the front section of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the door sill reinforcement plate, and a rear corner window reinforcement plate connected to the rear end of the front section of the upper side beam reinforcement plate;

[0007] The pillar reinforcement unit at least includes an A-pillar reinforcement plate and a B-pillar reinforcement plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the side outer panel is located below the rear corner window reinforcement panel;

[0009] The front end of the side outer panel extends toward the decorative component and is connected to the rear end of the door sill reinforcement plate, and the top end of the side outer panel is connected to the rear corner window reinforcement plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the rear corner window reinforcement plate has a rear section of an upper side beam reinforcement plate, and the rear section of the upper side beam reinforcement plate is connected to the front section of the upper side beam reinforcement plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the decorative component is connected to the outer sides of the front section of the roof side beam reinforcement plate and the rear section of the roof side beam reinforcement plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the decorative element is made of plastic or carbon fiber material.

[0013] Furthermore, the side outer panel includes a main body portion, a connecting portion located at a front end of the main body portion, and a mounting portion located at a rear end of the main body portion;

[0014] The connecting portion extends forward and downward and is connected to the rear end of the sill beam reinforcement plate, and a rear bumper bracket mounting portion is provided on the mounting portion.

[0015] Furthermore, a rear end of the sill beam reinforcement plate is connected to a connection plate extending backwards, and the connection plate overlaps with a front end portion of the connection portion and is connected together.

[0016] Furthermore, the A-pillar reinforcement plate, the B-pillar reinforcement plate and the door sill beam reinforcement plate are integrally formed.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] The vehicle body side described in the present invention makes the side panel outer panel and the side panel reinforcement panel jointly form an outer panel unit, and makes the side panel outer panel connected to the rear and lower part of the side panel reinforcement panel, so that the side panel reinforcement panel can replace the non-appearance area of ​​the existing side panel outer panel, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the side panel outer panel and reducing the development and manufacturing cost of the side panel outer panel stamping die. At the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the weight of the vehicle body side panel and facilitate the lightweight design of the vehicle. In addition, by providing a decorative part on the top end of the side panel reinforcement panel, it is beneficial to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle body side panel.

At the same time, the rear section of the upper side beam reinforcement plate set on the rear corner window reinforcement plate can also facilitate the connection between the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the corner window reinforcement plate.

[0022] Furthermore, by making the decorative parts out of carbon fiber material or plastic, the weight of the decorative parts can be reduced, thereby facilitating the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0023] In addition, by making the side panel include a connecting portion and a mounting portion, the connection between the sill beam reinforcement plate and the rear bumper bracket and the side panel is facilitated. And by providing a connecting plate connected to the connecting portion on the sill beam reinforcement plate, the connection strength between the sill beam reinforcement plate and the side panel is improved.

[0024] In addition, by forming the A-pillar reinforcement plate, the B-pillar reinforcement plate and the door sill beam reinforcement plate in one piece, the production process can be simplified while also helping to provide the plate with better structural strength.

[0025] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle, wherein the vehicle body has the body side as described above.

[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] This embodiment relates to a body side panel, which comprises an inner panel unit and an outer panel unit, and a decorative member 4 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The inner panel unit is composed of a side panel inner panel 1, the outer panel unit comprises a side panel reinforcement panel 2 and a side panel outer panel 3 spliced ​​together, and the side panel outer panel 3 is connected to the rear lower part of the side panel reinforcement panel 2, and the decorative member 4 is arranged at the top end of the side panel reinforcement panel 2.

[0043] It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the side panel outer panel 3 and the side panel reinforcement plate 2 together constitute an outer panel unit, and the side panel outer panel 3 is connected to the rear and lower part of the side panel reinforcement plate 2, so that the side panel reinforcement plate 2 can replace the non-appearance area of ​​the existing side panel outer panel, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the side panel outer panel 3 and reduce its development and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the weight of the vehicle body side and facilitate the lightweight design of the vehicle. In addition, by providing a decorative part 4 at the top of the side panel reinforcement plate 2, it is beneficial to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle body side.

[0044] It should be noted that the structure of the side inner panel 1 of this embodiment can be designed with reference to the structure of the side inner panel on the existing vehicle, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of this embodiment is as follows Figures 1 to 7 And, as a preferred implementation, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the side reinforcement plate 2 includes a front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate, a sill beam reinforcement plate 202, a pillar reinforcement unit connected between the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the sill beam reinforcement plate 202, and a rear corner window reinforcement plate 203 connected to the rear end of the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate. The pillar reinforcement unit includes an A-pillar reinforcement plate 204 and a B-pillar reinforcement plate 205.

[0046] By making the side panel reinforcement plate 2 include the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate, the door sill reinforcement plate 202, the pillar reinforcement unit and the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203, and making the pillar reinforcement unit include the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204 and the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the upper side beam, the door sill beam, the rear corner window and the A-pillar and B-pillar positions, and it is convenient to realize that the side panel reinforcement plate 2 and the above-mentioned side panel outer panel 3 together form an outer panel unit.

[0047] In addition, since the side panel outer panel 3 is no longer provided on the outer side of the side panel reinforcement plate 2, the sizes of the above-mentioned upper side beam reinforcement plate front section 201, the door sill beam reinforcement plate 202, the pillar reinforcement unit and the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203 can be appropriately increased within the permitted range. In particular, for the upper side beam area with a smaller cross-section, after the side panel outer panel 3 located on its outer side is cancelled, the upper side beam reinforcement plate can occupy the space originally occupied by the side panel outer panel, thereby appropriately increasing the cross-sectional size of the upper side beam reinforcement plate, which is beneficial to improving its structural strength.

[0048] Of course, it is not limited to the upper side beam area. In specific implementation, the cross-sectional dimensions of other reinforcing panels can also be appropriately increased. In addition, while the cross-sectional dimensions of each reinforcing panel constituting the side reinforcement plate 2 are appropriately increased, the thickness of each reinforcing panel can be appropriately reduced, so as to facilitate the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pillar reinforcement unit only includes the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204 and the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205 as a preferred implementation. In addition, when the vehicle with the body side has a C-pillar, or has a C-pillar and a D-pillar, the pillar reinforcement unit can also include the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204, the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205 and the C-pillar reinforcement plate, or include the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204, the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205, the C-pillar reinforcement plate and the D-pillar reinforcement plate. In addition, the pillar reinforcement unit can be connected to the upper side beam reinforcement plate front section 201 by spot welding or arc welding methods commonly used in the prior art.

[0050] When implementing it, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the cross-sections of the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204, the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205 and the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202 can all be arched toward the outside of the vehicle, and the cross-section of the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202 can also be arched upward. In this way, a cavity can be formed between the side panel reinforcement plate 2 and the side panel inner plate 1, so as to further improve the structural strength of the vehicle body side panel.

[0051] As a better arrangement, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the side outer panel 3 is located below the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203, and the front end of the side outer panel 3 extends toward the decorative component 4 and is connected to the rear end of the sill beam reinforcement plate 202, and the top end of the side outer panel 3 is connected to the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203.

[0052] It is understandable that by connecting the front end of the side outer panel 3 to the rear end of the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202 and connecting the top end of the side outer panel 3 to the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203, the side outer panel 3 and the side reinforcement plate 2 can be used to form an outer panel unit, and the structure of the side outer panel 3 can be made simpler. In specific implementation, the side outer panel 3 and the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202, as well as the side outer panel 3 and the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203 can be connected by electric welding or arc welding.

[0053] In addition, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the top of the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203 has a top side beam reinforcement plate rear section 2031, and the top side beam reinforcement plate rear section 2031 is connected to the top side beam reinforcement plate front section 201. In specific implementation, the top side beam reinforcement plate front section 201 and the top side beam reinforcement plate rear section 2031 can also be connected by spot welding or arc welding commonly used in the prior art.

[0054] In addition, by setting the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate on the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203, the upper side beam reinforcement plate is divided into a front section and a rear section and manufactured separately, which is convenient for stamping. At the same time, the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate set on the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203 can also facilitate the connection between the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the rear corner window reinforcement plate 203.

[0055] As a further preferred embodiment, the decorative member 4 of this embodiment is connected to the outer sides of the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in , the decorative component 4 is covered and buckled above the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate. With this arrangement, the decorative component 4 can cover the connection position between the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate, so that it is only necessary to ensure that the connection at the connection position is reliable, without ensuring the exquisiteness of the connection position, thereby facilitating the connection operation between the front section 201 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate and the rear section 2031 of the upper side beam reinforcement plate.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the decorative element 4 in this embodiment can be made of carbon fiber material, so that the decorative element 4 has good strength and corrosion resistance and is light in weight. Of course, making the decorative element 4 made of carbon fiber material is only a preferred embodiment. In addition, the decorative element 4 can also be made of plastic.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the side outer panel 3 includes a main body portion 301, a connecting portion 302 located at the front end of the main body portion 301, and a mounting portion 303 located at the rear end of the main body portion 301. The connecting portion 302 extends forward and downward and is connected to the rear end of the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202, and the mounting portion 303 is provided with a rear bumper bracket mounting portion.

[0058] It is understandable that the connection portion 302 is provided to facilitate the connection between the sill beam reinforcement plate 202 and the side outer panel 3, and the installation portion 303 is provided to facilitate the connection between the rear bumper bracket and the side outer panel 3. In specific implementation, the rear bumper bracket installation portion can be set with reference to the existing connection structure between the rear bumper bracket and the vehicle body, and will not be described in detail here. In addition, the side outer panel 3 in this embodiment can be preferably stamped with aluminum alloy, which is convenient for pressing and has low cost.

[0059] In addition, as preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown in FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, a connection plate 5 extending backward is connected to the rear end of the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202, and the connection plate 5 overlaps with the front end portion of the connection portion 302 and is connected together. It can be understood that the connection plate 5 is provided to improve the connection strength between the rocker beam reinforcement plate 202 and the side outer panel 3.

[0060] As a preferred implementation manner, in this embodiment, the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204, the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205 and the sill beam reinforcement plate 202 are formed in one piece. In this way, after the A-pillar reinforcement plate 204, the B-pillar reinforcement plate 205 and the sill beam reinforcement plate 202 are stamped, there is no need to connect the various parts, which is conducive to simplifying the production process and can also make it have better structural strength.

[0061] The vehicle body side of this embodiment is facilitated to simplify the structure of the side outer panel 3 and reduce its development and manufacturing cost by making the side outer panel 3 and the side reinforcing plate 2 together form an outer panel unit, and making the side outer panel 3 connected to the rear lower part of the side reinforcing plate 2. It is also facilitated to reduce the weight of the vehicle body side and realize the lightweight design of the vehicle. In addition, by making the side outer panel 3 include a main body portion 301, a connecting portion 302 and a mounting portion 303, the structure is simple, and it is convenient to connect with the side reinforcing plate 2 and to facilitate the installation of the rear bumper bracket.
