Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a painting-free heavy truck cab body assembly. Background Art

[0002] Car body painting refers to the process of applying paint on the treated car body (substrate surface) and drying it to form a film. Cars are widely used, have a large range of activities, and operate in a complex environment. They are often corroded by moisture, microorganisms, ultraviolet rays, and other acidic and alkaline gases and liquids, and sometimes they are damaged by grinding and scraping. After painting, the paint film (film) covering the surface of the car body can isolate the basic materials of the parts from the atmospheric environment, play a "shielding" role, and prevent rust. In addition, some coatings can also inhibit corrosion of metals. For example, phosphating primers can react with metals with the help of the chemical components inside the coating to passivate the metal surface.

[0003] The cab painting of heavy trucks is an important part of the manufacturing process, which can achieve the functions of anti-corrosion and appearance guarantee of the white body. However, the painting process is complicated, the painting cost is high, the chemical management and transportation process is difficult, the risk factor is high, and the chemicals and waste generated in the painting production process are very likely to cause harm to the human body and the surrounding environment.

[0004] The existing heavy truck cab body-in-white mostly uses steel plates or other alloy skin covering parts, which must be processed by electrophoretic coating and other processes to achieve the functional requirements of rust prevention and appearance. However, the steel plates or other alloy skeletons and skins made of the above materials will increase their own weight; currently, paint-free steel plate materials continue to appear, but they are limited by the thickness, price, material performance or appearance requirements of the plate, and have the problems of high weight, high price and difficulty in processing, resulting in poor structural stability.
