[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the rear vehicle body structure further includes: two longitudinal beams, which extend along the vehicle wheelbase direction, and are located at the connection position between the rear floor and the rear wheel cover, and are respectively connected to the rear floor and the rear wheel cover.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the rear wheel cover includes: an energy absorption groove, which is recessed from a side surface of the rear wheel cover away from the longitudinal beam toward a side surface close to the longitudinal beam, and the energy absorption groove abuts against the longitudinal beam.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the rear wheel cover is connected to the rear floor bolts; and / or the door sill is connected to the rear floor bolts.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a vehicle, which may include the rear body structure and frame described in any of the above schemes, and the rear body structure is installed on the frame.

[0034] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the scheme of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0036] As the iteration of car models accelerates, consumers are increasingly demanding product quality, and the manufacturing process of car bodies has also greatly accelerated the pace of updates in recent years. Currently, the one-piece die-casting process of the rear end of the car body has become the standard for current mid-to-high-end models.

[0037] Conventional one-piece die-cast bodies have fixed left and right widths and cannot meet the requirements of vehicles with different body widths. For example, vehicles with sliding doors and vehicles with swing doors have different design requirements for body width. Therefore, conventional one-piece die-cast bodies cannot meet the design requirements of both vehicles with sliding doors and vehicles with swing doors, and have poor versatility.

[0038] For the convenience of description, the following description is based on the direction of the vehicle coordinate system. The X-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system is the length direction of the vehicle, that is, the front and rear direction of the vehicle (for example, Figure 1 The Y-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system is the width direction of the vehicle, that is, the left and right direction of the vehicle (for example Figure 1 The Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system is the height direction of the vehicle, that is, the up and down direction of the vehicle (for example Figure 1 up and down directions as shown in ).

[0039] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, the rear body structure is formed by integral die-casting, and the rear body structure may generally include a rear floor, two rear wheel covers and two door sills. The two rear wheel covers are arranged opposite to each other in the Y-axis direction, and the two door sills are arranged opposite to each other in the Y-axis direction. The door sills are located in front of the rear wheel covers, and the door sills are used to install sliding doors or swing doors. For vehicles with sliding doors, the distance between the door sill on the same side and the rear wheel cover in the Y direction is a first distance. For vehicles with swing doors, the distance between the door sill on the same side and the rear wheel cover in the Y direction is a second distance. In order to meet the installation requirements of sliding doors and swing doors, the first distance is different from the second distance.

[0040] Since the rear body structure is integrally die-cast, the first distance is different from the second distance. Therefore, the rear body structure in the above embodiment cannot simultaneously meet the size requirements of the rear body structure for vehicles with sliding doors and vehicles with swing doors.

[0041] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present application also provides a vehicle, which may include a rear body structure 100 and a frame, wherein the rear body structure 100 is installed on the frame, wherein two rear wheel covers 120 of the rear body structure 100 are detachably connected to a rear floor 110, and two door sills 130 are detachably connected to the rear floor 110.

[0042] For details, please refer to Figure 3The rear floor 110 is provided with a plurality of bolt connection points 170, the rear wheel cover 120 and the rear floor 110 can be detachably connected by bolt connection, the rear wheel cover 120 and the rear floor 110 can also be detachably connected by snap connection, the door sill 130 and the rear floor 110 can be detachably connected by bolt connection, the door sill 130 and the rear floor 110 can also be detachably connected by snap connection.

[0043] It is understood that, in order to ensure the sealing between the rear wheel housing 120 and the rear floor 110, a sealant may be applied to the connection between the rear wheel housing 120 and the rear floor 110 after the rear wheel housing 120 and the rear floor 110 are bolted together. In order to ensure the sealing between the door sill 130 and the rear floor 110, a sealant may be applied to the connection between the door sill 130 and the rear floor 110 after the door sill 130 and the rear floor 110 are bolted together.

[0044] In this way, on the one hand, by providing two rear wheel covers 120 and two door sills 130 detachably connected to the rear floor 110, the door sills 130 and rear wheel covers 120 corresponding to the sliding door can be replaced, so that the rear body structure 100 meets the left and right width requirements of the body corresponding to the sliding door. By replacing the door sills 130 and rear wheel covers 120 corresponding to the swing door, the rear body structure 100 meets the left and right width requirements of the body corresponding to the swing door, thereby improving the versatility of the rear body structure 100.

[0045] On the other hand, for vehicle models with different height requirements for the rear floor 110, it is only necessary to replace the rear floor 110 of different heights, thereby further improving the versatility of the rear body structure 100, that is, through the assembly and cooperation between rear floors 110 of different specifications, rear wheel covers 120 of different specifications and door sills 130 of different specifications, the requirements of different vehicles for the rear body structure 100 are met.

[0046] On the other hand, by making the rear body structure 100 detachable into the rear floor 110, the rear wheel cover 120 and the door sill 130, specifically, a variety of rear floors 110, a variety of rear wheel covers 120 and a variety of door sills 130 can be die-cast to meet the size requirements of different vehicles, which can reduce the volume of the one-piece molding structure, improve the success rate of the die-casting process of the die-casting parts, and reduce the processing difficulty of the die-casting parts.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The rear floor 110 may include a steel front section 111 and an aluminum rear section 112, the aluminum rear section 112 is located at the rear side of the steel front section 111, the steel front section 111 includes a first connecting section close to the aluminum rear section 112, the aluminum rear section 112 includes a second connecting section close to the steel front section 111, and the first connecting section is connected to the second connecting section via a connecting structure.

[0048] Specifically, the first connecting section and the second connecting section may be connected by bolts, riveting, or snapping to achieve a fixed connection between the copper front section 111 and the aluminum rear section 112 .

[0049] It should be noted that, considering the overall strength, weight and cost of the rear vehicle body structure 100, the steel front section 111 made of steel and the aluminum rear section 112 made of aluminum cannot be connected by welding due to the large difference in melting points between steel and aluminum. Therefore, the connection between the steel front section 111 and the aluminum front section is achieved by a connecting structure.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sealing between the steel front section 111 and the aluminum rear section 112, the first connecting section and the second connecting section are stacked, and glue is filled between the first connecting section and the second connecting section.

[0051] Please continue to read Figure 1 In order to reduce the processing difficulty of the aluminum rear section 112, the aluminum rear section 112 can be grouped into a first aluminum section 1121 and a second aluminum section 1122. The first aluminum section 1121 and the second aluminum section 1122 are arranged sequentially in the front-to-back direction. The first aluminum section 1121 and the second aluminum section 1122 are connected by welding. Specifically, the first aluminum section 1121 and the second aluminum section 1122 can be connected by spot welding.

[0052] It is understandable that, in order to ensure the sealing between the first aluminum segment 1121 and the second aluminum segment 1122 , glue may be filled at the connection position between the first aluminum segment 1121 and the second aluminum segment 1122 .

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The rear body structure 100 may further include a C-ring crossbeam 140. As the name implies, the C-ring crossbeam 140 is a crossbeam that cooperates with the C-pillar of the vehicle. The C-ring crossbeam 140 is disposed on the upper surface of the rear floor 110. The C-ring crossbeam 140 extends in the left-right direction. One end of the C-ring crossbeam 140 abuts against one of the rear wheel housings 120, and the other end abuts against the other rear wheel housing 120. Therefore, by providing the C-ring crossbeam 140, support can be provided for the rear body structure 100 in the left-right direction, thereby improving the structural strength of the rear body structure 100 in the left-right direction.

[0054] On the other hand, it is understandable that by arranging the C-ring crossbeam 140 on the upper surface of the rear floor 110 , the height of the rear floor 110 can be increased, thereby meeting the design requirements of some vehicles for a high floor.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2The rear body structure 100 may further include a rear floor cross member 150, which is disposed on the lower surface of the rear floor 110 and extends in the left-right direction. The rear floor cross member 150 may improve the structural strength of the rear body structure 100 in the left-right direction, thereby improving the structural strength of the entire vehicle.

[0056] Furthermore, there are multiple rear floor cross beams 150, and the multiple rear floor cross beams 150 are arranged along the vehicle wheelbase direction (i.e. Figure 1 The rear vehicle body structure 100 is spaced apart in the front-rear direction as shown in the figure, thereby further improving the structural strength of the rear vehicle body structure 100.

[0057] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , the number of the rear floor cross members 150 is 3.

[0058] Among them, the specific number and position of the rear floor beam 150 can be set according to the design requirements of the vehicle to meet the installation space and strength requirements of the vehicle fuel tank. For new energy or hybrid models, the position of the battery also needs to be considered for setting.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The rear body structure 100 may further include two longitudinal beams 160, which extend along the wheelbase of the vehicle, are located at the connection position between the rear floor 110 and the rear wheel housing 120, and are respectively connected to the rear floor 110 and the rear wheel housing 120. Therefore, by arranging the longitudinal beams 160 on the rear floor 110, the structural strength of the rear body structure 100 in the front-rear direction is improved.

[0060] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 161 may be provided inside the longitudinal beam 160 . By providing the reinforcing ribs 161 , the structural strength of the longitudinal beam 160 is further enhanced, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the rear vehicle body structure 100 .

[0061] Specifically, the two longitudinal beams 160 are respectively located at the left and right edges of the rear floor 110 , the longitudinal beams 160 are connected to the rear floor 110 by welding, and the longitudinal beams 160 are detachably connected to the rear wheel housing 120 .

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The rear wheel cover 120 may include an energy absorbing groove 121, which is recessed from a side surface of the rear wheel cover 120 away from the longitudinal beam 160 toward a side surface close to the longitudinal beam 160, and the energy absorbing groove 121 abuts against the longitudinal beam 160. In this way, by setting the energy absorbing groove 121, the anti-collision ability of the rear wheel cover 120 and the energy absorption effect during the operation of the vehicle can be improved, and the stability of the vehicle during the travel can be improved. At the same time, the energy absorbing groove 121 abuts against the longitudinal beam 160. When the rear wheel cover 120 is collided, the energy absorbing groove 121 can transfer the energy to the longitudinal beam 160, thereby further improving the anti-collision ability of the rear wheel cover 120 and the stability of the vehicle during the travel.

[0063] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A spring seat 123 and a shock absorber mounting hole 122 are also provided on the rear wheel cover 120, wherein the spring seat 123 is a chassis mounting point, and the shock absorber mounting hole 122 is used to install the shock absorber. When the vehicle is moving, the vibration from the vehicle chassis and wheels will be transmitted to the rear wheel cover 120, and the energy absorption groove 121 of the rear wheel cover 120 will deform, absorb part of the energy, and then transmit the force to the longitudinal beam 160, thereby achieving a good force unloading effect and ensuring the stability of the entire rear body structure 100.
