Description

[0002] At present, automobiles are developing towards electrification, networking and intelligence, which has brought qualitative improvement to people's travel mode. Although various active safety technologies equipped in vehicles are continuously reducing the probability of automobile accidents, passive structural safety is still the most basic requirement of vehicles, especially the last line of defense of vehicle body safety for protecting drivers and passengers. In the process of electrification of automobiles, lightweight is an important factor to improve the endurance of vehicles, but lightweight of the vehicle body is not simply weight reduction, and must be based on the premise of ensuring the strength and safety performance of the vehicle body. Under the demand of vehicle body safety and lightweight, an integrated hot forming door ring emerges as the times require.

[0003] However, in order to improve the comfort and safety of the driver's front view, the smaller the A-pillar obstacle angle is, the better, that is, the thinner the vehicle body door ring is needed in the A-pillar area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order for those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains to more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] In the prior art, due to the slimness of the upper side beam, when the vehicle is subjected to a collision, the upper side beam close to the A-pillar bears a large collision load, so that the upper side beam close to the A-pillar is prone to a large deformation, the upper side beam close to the A-pillar is bent towards the vehicle interior, a large amount of space in the vehicle interior is occupied, and the safety of the occupants in the vehicle interior is affected.

[0045] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a vehicle body door ring structure and a vehicle. It should be noted that in the art, the length direction of the vehicle is usually referred to as X direction or longitudinal direction, the width direction of the vehicle is usually referred to as Y direction or transverse direction, and the height direction of the vehicle is usually referred to as Z direction or vertical direction. The interpretation of the relevant orientation expressions in the following embodiments can be referred to the above content.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first aspect embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle body door ring structure 100, which comprises a door ring body 110 and a first pipe beam 120. The door ring body 110 comprises an upper side beam 111, a lower side beam 112 and at least two upright columns. The at least two upright columns are spaced apart along the length direction of the vehicle body, and the two ends of the upright columns are connected to the upper side beam 111 and the lower side beam 112 respectively to form a ring structure. The upper side beam 111 is provided with a cavity, and the cavity extends along the axial direction of the upper side beam 111 from the first upright column to the last upright column. The first pipe beam 120 is located in the cavity and connected to the upper side beam 111 and each upright column.

[0047] The present application arranges the first pipe beam 120 inside the cavity of the upper side beam 111, which effectively improves the conditions of the A-pillar 113 and the upper side beam 111 without increasing the size of the cavity. When the vehicle is subjected to a collision, the first pipe beam 120 arranged inside the cavity of the upper side beam 111 can bear a part of the collision load, thereby reducing the collision load transmitted to the upper side beam 111 and reducing the deformation amount of the upper side beam 111 bent into the passenger compartment. In this way, the deformation amount of the A-pillar 113 and the upper side beam 111 meets the requirements of the collision, and the strength and the bending resistance of the A-pillar 113 and the upper side beam 111 are further improved, so as to ensure the space of the passenger compartment and the safety of the passengers in the vehicle interior.

[0048] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 and the accompanyingFigure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of pillars is three, namely A-pillar 113, B-pillar 114 and C-pillar 115, which are spaced along the length of the vehicle body, and the two ends of the A-pillar 113, B-pillar 114 and C-pillar 115 are connected to the upper side beam 111 and the lower side beam 112 to form a ring structure.

[0049] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and the accompanying drawings Figure 12 As shown, the upper side beam 111 of the present application is provided with a cavity for arranging the first tube beam 120 in the cavity, wherein the first tube beam 120 extends along the A-pillar 113 to the C-pillar 115 and penetrates the entire upper side beam 111. The first tube beam 120 extends along the A-pillar 113 to the C-pillar 115, that is, it can improve the bending strength of the upper side beam 111, A-pillar 113, B-pillar 114 and C-pillar 115, rather than only improving the strength of the local part of the upper side beam 111. In some embodiments, the first tube beam 120 can be made of hot-formed high-strength steel with a tensile strength of 1500MPa-2000MPa, which can well meet the strength requirements of the vehicle in the event of a frontal collision or rollover. In other embodiments, the first tube beam 120 can be made by hot gas expansion process, and the cross-sectional size is designed according to the shape of the door ring cavity, and the shape is designed from front to back. That is, without increasing the size of the cavity of the upper side beam 111, the first tube beam 120 can be arranged inside the cavity of the upper side beam 111, thereby improving the bending strength of the upper side beam 111. The first tube beam 120 can disperse a part of the impact force under the impact force, and can better disperse the sudden impact force; in addition, the first tube beam 120 can also absorb part of the energy, and when subjected to a severe impact, the first tube beam 120 can disperse the impact force more evenly, thereby reducing the impact force of the upper side beam 111.

[0050] Thus, by arranging the first tube beam 120 inside the cavity of the upper side beam 111, without increasing the size of the cavity, the present application effectively improves the condition of the door ring A-pillar 113 and the upper side beam 111, in addition, the tube beam is designed with the shape, which can well fit the inner cavity of the door ring, and the cross-sectional shape and size can be optimized, further improving the bending resistance of the door ring in the A-pillar 113 area.

[0051] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 11 and the accompanying drawings Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the first pipe beam 120 includes a first pipe segment that fits against the upper beam 111 and a second pipe segment spaced apart from the upper beam 111. Because the first pipe beam 120 needs to be designed to conform to the shape of the upper beam 111, it must fit snugly against the cavity of the upper beam 111. The cross-sectional area of ​​the upper beam 111 cavity is larger in some areas and smaller in others. Therefore, to ensure that the first pipe beam 120 is placed within the cavity of the upper beam 111, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first pipe beam 120 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper beam 111 cavity. Furthermore, to ensure that the cross-sectional area of ​​the first pipe beam 120 does not vary excessively, the first pipe beam 120 will fit snugly against the upper beam 111 in some areas, while gaps will exist between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111 in others.

[0052] As attached Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, along the length of the vehicle, the perimeter of the cross-section of the first tube beam 120 varies from 0% to 15% from the front to the rear of the vehicle, conforming to the cavity design of the upper beam 111. This ensures that the first tube beam 120 can be installed within the cavity of the upper beam 111, while also improving the strength of the first tube beam 120. If the perimeter variation of the cross-section at the first and second ends of the first tube beam 120 is large, the strength of the first tube beam 120 will be weakened, which is not conducive to improving the overall strength. Therefore, the perimeter variation of the cross-section at the first and second ends of the first tube beam 120 is small, which ensures the strength of the first tube beam 120.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first tube beam 120 has an internal hollow structure. The first tube beam 120 can better conform to the cavity design of the upper beam 111, which can reduce weight while ensuring strength.

[0054] As attached Figure 14 As shown, since there is still a gap between the second segment of the second tube beam 210 and the upper side beam 111, in some embodiments, the vehicle body door ring structure 100 also includes a bracket 130 connected to the second tube segment, and the second tube segment is connected to the upper side beam 111 through the bracket 130. That is, it can ensure that the first tube beam 120 can be designed to conform to the shape and ensure the strength of the first tube beam 120, while in areas where the first tube beam 120 cannot be directly connected to the upper side beam 111, it is connected through the bracket 130, thereby increasing the strength of the upper side beam 111.

[0055] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 130 includes an upper bracket 131 and a lower bracket 132, which together form a first mounting cavity. The upper bracket 131 and the lower bracket 132 partially overlap and are connected, and the overlapping area is connected to the column. The overlapping area of ​​the upper bracket 131 and the lower bracket 132 can be connected by welding to ensure its connection strength. The upper bracket 131 and the lower bracket 132 forming the first mounting cavity achieves the purpose of weight reduction while ensuring that the second pipe section of the first pipe beam 120 can be connected to the upper side beam 111. One end of the upper bracket 131 is connected to the first pipe beam 120 by welding, and the other end of the upper bracket 131 is bent toward the lower bracket 132. One end of the lower bracket 132 is connected to the first pipe beam 120 by welding, and the other end of the lower bracket 132 is bent toward the upper bracket 131, thus overlapping with a section of the bent upper bracket 131. It can be understood that the upper bracket 131 and the lower bracket 132 are mounted on the first pipe beam 120. The first mounting cavity formed by the upper bracket 131 and the lower bracket 132 facilitates the connection of the first pipe beam 120 to other surrounding parts through the bracket 130, which plays a role in force transmission and thus improves strength.

[0056] As attached Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9 Appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the first tube beam 120 is an irregularly shaped closed structure, which can better fit the cavity and improve strength; in other embodiments, the Z-direction dimension of the cross-section of the first tube beam 120 is the largest. The cross-section of the first tube beam 120 of this application is irregular. Compared with regular tube beams such as circles and squares, the first tube beam 120 of this application can not only better fit the cavity of the upper beam 111, but also achieve the largest Z-direction dimension of the cross-section of the first tube beam 120, further improving the tensile strength in the Z direction and increasing strength.

[0057] As attached Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first tube beam 120 is provided with a plurality of clearance holes 121 and / or electrophoresis holes. Electrophoresis holes can provide channels for electrophoretic liquid to pass through between sheet metal parts, improving electrophoretic performance; clearance holes 121 can locally prevent interference between components in position.

[0058] As attached Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9 Appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11As shown in some embodiments, the number of columns is three, namely A column 113, B column 114 and C column 115; the first tube beam 120 is welded to the upper cross beam 111 by two-heat welding 119; the upper cross beam 111 is provided with three groups of plug welding holes, namely first group of plug welding holes 116, second group of plug welding holes 117 and third group of plug welding holes 118, the first group of plug welding holes 116 is located near the A column 113, the second group of plug welding holes 117 is located near the front of the B column 114, and the third group of plug welding holes 118 is located between the B column 114 and the C column 115.

[0059] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 , the accompanying drawings Figure 6 and the accompanying drawings Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the first group of plug welding holes 116 can include at least two plug welding holes, which can be two plug welding holes, three plug welding holes, four plug welding holes or five plug welding holes. In the area of the first group of plug welding holes 116, the first tube beam 120 can be welded to the upper cross beam 111 by two-heat welding 119. The first group of plug welding holes 116 is distributed between the A column 113 and the B column 114 and close to the A column 113. Since the outer surface of the upper cross beam 111 is not in the same plane but has a three-dimensional shape, in order to ensure the stability of the welding of the first tube beam 120 and the upper cross beam 111, the plug welding holes can be staggered on the side vertical surface and the upper surface of the upper cross beam 111, so as to ensure that the first tube beam 120 has welding points on the side vertical surface and the upper surface of the upper cross beam 111, making the connection of the first tube beam 120 and the upper cross beam 111 more stable. In some embodiments, the first group of plug welding holes 116 can include four plug welding holes, and the adjacent two plug welding holes are staggered up and down. It is ensured that the first tube beam 120 is connected to the side vertical surface and the upper surface of the upper cross beam 111.

[0060] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 , the accompanying drawings Figure 8 and the accompanying drawings Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the second set of plug weld holes 117 may include at least two plug weld holes, specifically two, three, four, or five plug weld holes. In the area of ​​the second set of plug weld holes 117, the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111 can be welded using MIG weld 119. The second set of plug weld holes 117 is distributed between and close to column A 113 and column B 114. Since the outer surfaces of the upper beam 111 are not on the same plane but are three-dimensional, to ensure the stability of the weld between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111, the plug weld holes can be staggered on the side and top surfaces of the upper beam 111, thereby ensuring that there are weld points on both the side and top surfaces of the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111, making the connection between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111 more stable. In some embodiments, the second set of plug weld holes 117 may include three plug weld holes, with adjacent plug weld holes staggered vertically. Ensure that the first pipe beam 120 is connected to the side elevation and the upper surface of the upper beam 111.

[0061] As attached Figure 5 Appendix Figure 10 and attached Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the third group of plug weld holes 118 may include at least two plug weld holes, specifically two, three, four, or five plug weld holes. Within the area of ​​the third group of plug weld holes 118, the first pipe beam 120 and the upper side beam 111 can be welded using MIG welding 119. The third group of plug weld holes 118 is distributed between and close to the B-pillar 114 and the C-pillar 115. Since the outer surfaces of the upper side beam 111 are not on the same plane but are three-dimensional, to ensure the stability of the weld between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper side beam 111, the plug weld holes can be staggered on the side and top surfaces of the upper side beam 111, thereby ensuring that there are weld points on both the side and top surfaces of the first pipe beam 120 and the upper side beam 111, making the connection between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper side beam 111 more stable. In some embodiments, the third group of plug weld holes 118 may include three plug weld holes, with adjacent plug weld holes staggered vertically. Ensure that the first pipe beam 120 is connected to the side elevation and the upper surface of the upper beam 111.

[0062] Therefore, the two adjacent plug weld holes in each group are staggered vertically, distributed on the side and top surfaces of the upper beam 111, making the connection between the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111 more stable. The first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111 are connected by staggered plug welds. The multi-faceted staggered welding results in a stronger and more stable connection, making the first pipe beam 120 and the upper beam 111, i.e., the upper beam 111 and the door ring body 110, form a whole, with better bending resistance.

[0063] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, as shown in the attached... Figure 12As shown, the side wall 200 of the vehicle comprises the door ring structure 100 and the second tube beam 210, the first tube beam 120 is provided with a first connecting part, the second tube beam 210 is connected to the rear end of the first tube beam 120, the second tube beam 210 is provided with a second connecting part corresponding to the first connecting part, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are overlapped and connected. That is, the first tube beam 120 and the second tube beam 210 can be connected.

[0064] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 16 In some embodiments, the second tube beam 210 and the first tube beam 120 are both hollow structures, the second tube beam 210 is provided with a second connecting part, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are overlapped and connected.
