Body and vehicle

Abstract

This application relates to the field of vehicle body structure design technology, specifically disclosing a vehicle body and a vehicle. The vehicle body includes adjacent side panels and fenders. A gap is formed between the first flange of the side panel and the second flange of the fender, which are hidden inside the vehicle body. The width of the outlet end of the gap is wider than the width of the inlet end, forming a V-shaped structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle body structure design technology, specifically to a vehicle body and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As cars become more common and manufacturing technology improves, consumers are starting to demand more attention to the details of cars. When it comes to the exterior details of a vehicle, consumers are generally most concerned about the body assembly process. The better the body assembly process, the better it reflects the quality control of the car manufacturer.

[0003] The most direct indicator of vehicle body assembly quality is the aesthetics of the various exterior components after assembly. While ensuring ease of assembly, manufacturing feasibility, and economy, narrower and more uniform gaps result in better aesthetics.

[0004] However, for gaps in certain specific locations, gaps that are too narrow may cause water to accumulate in the gap, leading to corrosion of the sheet metal trim in the gap area due to long-term immersion in a humid environment, which will affect product reputation and sales. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a vehicle body and vehicle that can prevent corrosion caused by water accumulation in gaps.

[0006] Specifically, this application includes the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a vehicle body, the vehicle body comprising:

[0008] The side panel has a first body and a first flange, the first flange being connected to the edge of the first body and bent relative to the first body.

[0009] The fender has a second body and a second flange, the second flange being connected to the edge of the second body and bent relative to the second body.

[0010] The first flange and the second flange are adjacent to each other and form a gap between them.

[0011] The gap has an inlet end and an outlet end, with the outlet end located below the inlet end and the width of the outlet end being greater than the width of the inlet end.

[0012] Alternatively, the first flange bends gradually from top to bottom into the vehicle body, such that the distance between the first flange and the second flange gradually increases from top to bottom in at least a large section.

[0013] Alternatively, the first flange is located below the first body, with the first flange facing the ground, and the bend between the first body and the first flange is arc-shaped.

[0014] Alternatively, the second flange is located below the second body, with the second flange facing the ground, and the bend between the second body and the second flange is arc-shaped.

[0015] Optionally, the width of the outlet end is greater than or equal to 2.8 mm.

[0016] In another aspect, this application provides a vehicle, the vehicle including a body, the body comprising:

[0017] The side panel has a first body and a first flange, the first flange being connected to the edge of the first body and bent relative to the first body.

[0018] The fender has a second body and a second flange, the second flange being connected to the edge of the second body and bent relative to the second body.

[0019] The first flange and the second flange are adjacent to each other and form a gap between them.

[0020] The gap has an inlet end and an outlet end, with the outlet end located below the inlet end and the width of the outlet end being greater than the width of the inlet end.

[0021] Alternatively, the first flange bends gradually from top to bottom into the vehicle body, such that the distance between the first flange and the second flange gradually increases from top to bottom in at least a large section.

[0022] Alternatively, the first flange is located below the first body, with the first flange facing the ground, and the bend between the first body and the first flange is arc-shaped.

[0023] Alternatively, the second flange is located below the second body, with the second flange facing the ground, and the bend between the second body and the second flange is arc-shaped.

[0024] Optionally, the width of the outlet end is greater than or equal to 2.8 mm.

[0025] The vehicle body provided in this application embodiment includes adjacent side panels and fenders. A gap is formed between the first flange of the side panel and the second flange of the fender, which are hidden inside the vehicle body. The width of the outlet end of the gap is wider than the width of the inlet end, for example, it has a V-shaped structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, which facilitates the drainage of water and prevents water from accumulating in the gap and causing the trim of the side panel or fender to rust.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the vehicle body and vehicle will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the fender and the side panel adopt a horizontally spaced joint structure at the A-pillar, including the side panel 1 and the fender 2.

[0043] Fender 2 typically features rounded corners, as does the outer side panel 1. The main body of the outer side panel 1 and fender 2 refers to the exposed parts, easily visible to the user from the outside of the car. Both the outer side panel 1 and the fender have flanges, which are the sections of adjacent outer side panels and fenders that fold into the vehicle body at the connection point, forming a gap between them. The fender also has a fender trim at the very edge of the flange, serving as the lowermost end face of the flange. In this structure, the upper part of the gap between the outer side panel 1 and the fender 2 forms a matching DTS (Dimension Technical Specifications) gap, while the lower part of the gap is formed by the fender trim and the outer side panel flange, creating a fender trim gap. With increasing demands for vehicle body refinement, the definition of the upper DTS gap is becoming narrower, with some models even defining it as only 2mm wide.

[0044] Figure 1 See the cross-sectional view at point AA. Figure 2 , Figure 2 The left side faces outwards from the vehicle, and the right side faces inwards from the vehicle.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in conventional designs, the trim of the fender 2 is usually parallel to the trim of the side panel 1. This results in a gap of less than or equal to 2mm between the fender trim and the flange of the side panel at the lower part of the gap. A V-shaped or H-shaped water-retaining structure is formed at the gap 3 formed by the two flanges. When water flows through this gap, it is difficult to drain smoothly through the gap 3 due to the surface tension of the liquid, and thus it accumulates at the gap 3. This causes the fender to be constantly immersed in a humid environment, which may eventually cause the fender trim to rust.

[0046] In response, this invention provides a vehicle body in which the inner flange of the side outer panel continues to fold inward at a certain angle while ensuring that the forming is feasible. A relatively large gap is formed at the lower part of the gap between the flange of the side outer panel and the flange of the fender. This gap, together with the DTS (Digital Transmission System) gap at the upper part of the seam, forms a figure-eight structure with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. This structure facilitates drainage and prevents water from accumulating in the gap and causing rust on the fender trim. On the other hand, it makes it easier to hide the flange of the fender, making minor rust on the trim invisible and reducing the perception of rust problems.

[0047] This application provides a vehicle body, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle body includes:

[0048] The side panel 1 has a first body 101 and a first flange 102. The first flange 102 is connected to the edge of the first body 101 and is bent relative to the first body 101.

[0049] It is understandable that the first body 101 refers to the part of the side outer panel 1 that is exposed outside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is visible to the user, and the first flange 102 refers to the part of the side outer panel 1 that is hidden inside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is not visible to the user.

[0050] Fender 2 has a second body 201 and a second flange 202, the second flange 202 being connected to the edge of the second body 201 and bent relative to the second body 201.

[0051] Similarly, the second body 201 refers to the part of the fender 2 that is exposed on the outside of the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is visible to the user, while the second flange 202 refers to the part of the fender 2 that is hidden inside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is not visible to the user.

[0052] The first flange 102 and the second flange 202 are adjacent to each other and form a gap 3 between them. The gap 3 has an inlet end 301 and an outlet end 302. The outlet end 302 is located below the inlet end 301, that is, the outlet end 302 is further away from the first body 101 and the second body 201 than the inlet end 301. Figure 3 As can be seen, the inlet end 301 is located near the first body 101 and the second body 201, while the outlet end 302 is located between the portion of the first flange 102 that is far from the first body 101 and the portion of the second flange 202 that is far from the second body 201. The width of the outlet end 302 is greater than the width of the inlet end 301.

[0053] It is understandable that when the body is used for a hatchback, the side panel 1 can be wrapped around the outside of the A-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's hood, that is, the fender 2 surrounding the front wheels.

[0054] When the body is used in a sedan, the outer side panel 1 can be wrapped around the outside of the A-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the outer side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's hood, i.e., surrounding the front wheels. The outer side panel 1 can also be wrapped around the outside of the C-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the outer side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's trunk lid, i.e., surrounding the rear wheels.

[0055] When the side panel 1 covers the A-pillar or C-pillar of a vehicle, if the vehicle is in a rainy environment or during a car wash, some water will flow down the side panel 1 and into the gap 3 between the side panel 1 and the fender 2. This water needs to be drained in time, otherwise it will accumulate in the gap 3 and further corrode the side panel 1 or fender 2, especially the lower end face of the second flange 202 of the fender 2 (i.e., the fender trim). This corrosion will affect the surface of the product and will be noticed by the user when observing the gap 3 between the side panel 1 and the fender 2 on the A-pillar or C-pillar of the vehicle, affecting the user's impression and reputation of the product.

[0056] It is understood that the vehicle body may also include a front bumper, a front hood, a rear trunk lid, a rear bumper, a roof, and a body-in-white. The structure in this embodiment can also be used in other gaps 3 in the above-mentioned vehicle structure that are prone to water accumulation, so as to prevent water accumulation from causing rust on the sheet metal parts.

[0057] In this embodiment, the gap 3 has an inlet end 301 and an outlet end 302. The outlet end 302 is located below the inlet end 301, and the width of the outlet end 302 is greater than the width of the inlet end 301. That is, the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 has a shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In other words, the cross-section of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is "V" shaped, so that the accumulated water can be quickly discharged from the outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 under the action of gravity.

[0058] The special structure of the side panel 1 and the fender 2 will be described in further detail below:

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, the first flange 102 gradually bends into the vehicle body from top to bottom, such that the distance between the first flange 102 and the second flange 202 gradually increases from top to bottom over at least a large portion of the section.

[0060] It is understandable that when making the edge position where the side outer panel 1 connects with other sheet metal parts, after making the first body 101 (i.e. the externally visible part) of the side outer panel 1, the edge position of the first body 101 of the side outer panel 1 will be bent to make the first flange 102.

[0061] In conventional technology, the first flange 102 at the connection between the side outer panel 1 and the fender 2 is completely straight and horizontally downward, or even gradually bends outward from top to bottom towards the outside of the vehicle body (i.e., towards the direction of the second flange 202 near the fender 2). This results in the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side outer panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 having the same width from top to bottom, or even the lower outlet end 302 being narrower than the upper inlet end 301, causing poor drainage.

[0062] In this embodiment, after bending the edge of the first body 101 of the side panel 1 to create the first flange 102, the first flange 102 is further bent. Specifically, the first flange 102 continues to bend from top to bottom into the vehicle body, thereby increasing the width of the lower outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2, so as to facilitate smoother drainage of accumulated water.

[0063] In some alternative embodiments, the first flange 102 is located below the first body 101, the first flange 102 faces the ground, and the bend between the first body 101 and the first flange 102 is arc-shaped.

[0064] It is understandable that, due to the specific relative positional relationship between the connection between the side panel 1 and the fender 2, the first flange 102 is located below the first body 101. Under the action of gravity, water will first flow through the first body 101 and then through the first flange 102, that is, enter the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2.

[0065] The bend between the first body 101 and the first flange 102 is arc-shaped, i.e., rounded corners are made, which makes the lines at the bend smoother and the transition more rounded. While improving the aesthetics of the vehicle, it also ensures that water flows smoothly along the outer side panel 1 under the action of gravity, first through the first body 101, then through the first flange 102, and then into the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the outer side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2.

[0066] In some alternative embodiments, the second flange 202 is located below the second body 201, with the second flange 202 facing the ground, and the bend between the second body 201 and the second flange 202 is arc-shaped.

[0067] It is understandable that, similar to the side panel 1, due to the specific relative positional relationship between the side panel 1 and the fender 2, the second flange 202 is located below the second body 201, and the cross section of the fender 2 is "L" shaped.

[0068] The bend between the second body 201 and the second flange 202 is arc-shaped, i.e., rounded corner treatment, which makes the lines at the bend smoother and the transition more rounded, thus enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle's appearance.

[0069] When the width of the slit is less than 2.8 mm, the surface tension of the water will prevent the water from flowing out of the slit unless sufficient pressure is applied to make the water pressure exceed the critical pressure. Therefore, in some alternative embodiments, the width of the outlet end 302 is set to be greater than or equal to 2.8 mm.

[0070] Specifically, the width of the inlet end 301 can be 2mm and the width of the outlet end 302 can be 3mm, so that the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is conducive to the drainage of accumulated water.

[0071] Moreover, the bottom (outlet end 302) of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is 3mm wide. When water flows through this gap, it will not be difficult to drain smoothly due to the surface tension of the liquid, thus avoiding the accumulation of water in the gap 3 and causing corrosion of the trim of the side panel 1 or the fender 2.

[0072] It is understandable that after bending the edge of the first body 101 of the side panel 1 to create the first flange 102, the first flange 102 will continue to be bent. Specifically, the first flange 102 will continue to bend from top to bottom into the vehicle body, thereby increasing the width of the lower outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2. In some optional embodiments, the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is shorter than the first flange 102 of the side panel 1. Therefore, there will be a special area at the lower part of the outlet end 302 of the gap 3, where only the first flange 102 extending downward exists, and this part of the first flange 102 has no adjacent second flange 202. For this part of the first flange 102 that exists alone, since there is no adjacent second flange 202, there is no possibility of further forming a gap, and therefore it will not affect the drainage speed. In this case, the first flange 102, which exists separately, can bend gradually from top to bottom away from the vehicle body, thereby guiding the direction of drainage and allowing the accumulated water to be discharged more accurately away from the vehicle body, avoiding the impact on other parts of the chassis.

[0073] In some alternative embodiments, the side panel 1 can be in the shape of conventional technology, that is, the inner side of the side panel 1 is perpendicular to the vehicle chassis. The shape of the fender 2 is improved by making the second flange 202 of the fender 2 continue to fold inward when making the inner side of the fender 2, so that the distance between the top of the second flange 202 of the fender and the top of the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 is less than the distance between the bottom of the second flange 202 of the fender and the bottom of the first flange 102 of the side panel 1. The gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is conducive to the drainage of water.

[0074] The vehicle body provided in this application embodiment includes adjacent side outer panels 1 and fenders 2. A gap 3 is formed between the first flange 102 of the side outer panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2, which are hidden inside the vehicle body. The width of the outlet end 302 of the gap 3 is wider than the width of the inlet end 301, for example, it has a V-shaped structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, which facilitates the drainage of water and prevents water from accumulating in the gap 3 and causing the trim of the side outer panel 1 or fender 2 to rust.

[0075] This application also provides a vehicle, which includes a body, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle body includes:

[0076] The side panel 1 has a first body 101 and a first flange 102. The first flange 102 is connected to the edge of the first body 101 and is bent relative to the first body 101.

[0077] It is understandable that the first body 101 refers to the part of the side outer panel 1 that is exposed outside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is visible to the user, and the first flange 102 refers to the part of the side outer panel 1 that is hidden inside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is not visible to the user.

[0078] The fender 2 has a second body 201 and a second flange 202, the second flange 202 being connected to the edge of the second body 201 and bent relative to the second body 201.

[0079] Similarly, the second body 201 refers to the part of the fender 2 that is exposed on the outside of the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is visible to the user, while the second flange 202 refers to the part of the fender 2 that is hidden inside the vehicle body, i.e. the part that is not visible to the user.

[0080] The first flange 102 and the second flange 202 are adjacent to each other and form a gap 3 between them. The gap 3 has an inlet end 301 and an outlet end 302. The outlet end 302 is located below the inlet end 301, that is, the outlet end 302 is further away from the first body 101 and the second body 201 than the inlet end 301. Figure 3As can be seen, the inlet end 301 is located near the first body 101 and the second body 201, while the outlet end 302 is located between the portion of the first flange 102 that is far from the first body 101 and the portion of the second flange 202 that is far from the second body 201. The width of the outlet end 302 is greater than the width of the inlet end 301.

[0081] It is understandable that when the body is used for a hatchback, the side panel 1 can be wrapped around the outside of the A-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's hood, that is, the fender 2 surrounding the front wheels.

[0082] When the body is used in a sedan, the outer side panel 1 can be wrapped around the outside of the A-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the outer side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's hood, i.e., surrounding the front wheels. The outer side panel 1 can also be wrapped around the outside of the C-pillar of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the fender 2 adjacent to the outer side panel 1 can refer to the fender 2 located on both sides of the vehicle's trunk lid, i.e., surrounding the rear wheels.

[0083] When the side panel 1 covers the A-pillar or C-pillar of a vehicle, if the vehicle is in a rainy environment or during a car wash, some water will flow down the side panel 1 and into the gap 3 between the side panel 1 and the fender 2. This water needs to be drained in time, otherwise it will accumulate in the gap 3 and further corrode the side panel 1 or fender 2, especially the lower end face of the second flange 202 of the fender 2 (i.e., the fender trim). This corrosion will affect the surface of the product and will be noticed by the user when observing the gap 3 between the side panel 1 and the fender 2 on the A-pillar or C-pillar of the vehicle, affecting the user's impression and reputation of the product.

[0084] The import end 301, export end 302, import end 301, export end 302, import end 301. It can be understood that the vehicle body may also include a front bumper, a front hood, a rear trunk lid, a rear bumper, a roof, and a body-in-white. The structure in this embodiment can also be used in other gaps 3 in the above-mentioned structure of the vehicle that are prone to water accumulation, so as to prevent water accumulation from causing rust on the sheet metal parts.

[0085] In this embodiment, the gap 3 has an inlet end 301 and an outlet end 302. The outlet end 302 is located below the inlet end 301, and the width of the outlet end 302 is greater than the width of the inlet end 301. That is, the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 has a shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In other words, the cross-section of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is "V" shaped, so that the accumulated water can be quickly discharged from the outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 under the action of gravity.

[0086] The special structure of the side panel 1 and the fender 2 will be described in further detail below:

[0087] In some alternative embodiments, the first flange 102 gradually bends into the vehicle body from top to bottom, such that the distance between the first flange 102 and the second flange 202 gradually increases from top to bottom over at least a large portion of the section.

[0088] It is understandable that when making the edge position where the side outer panel 1 connects with other sheet metal parts, after making the first body 101 (i.e. the externally visible part) of the side outer panel 1, the edge position of the first body 101 of the side outer panel 1 will be bent to make the first flange 102.

[0089] In conventional technology, the first flange 102 at the connection between the side outer panel 1 and the fender 2 is completely straight and horizontally downward, or even gradually bends outward from top to bottom towards the outside of the vehicle body (i.e., towards the direction of the second flange 202 near the fender 2). This results in the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side outer panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 having the same width from top to bottom, or even the lower outlet end 302 being narrower than the upper inlet end 301, causing poor drainage.

[0090] In this embodiment, after bending the edge of the first body 101 of the side panel 1 to create the first flange 102, the first flange 102 is further bent. Specifically, the first flange 102 continues to bend from top to bottom into the vehicle body, thereby increasing the width of the lower outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2, so as to facilitate smoother drainage of accumulated water.

[0091] In some alternative embodiments, the first flange 102 is located below the first body 101, the first flange 102 faces the ground, and the bend between the first body 101 and the first flange 102 is arc-shaped.

[0092] It is understandable that, due to the specific relative positional relationship between the connection between the side panel 1 and the fender 2, the first flange 102 is located below the first body 101. Under the action of gravity, water will first flow through the first body 101 and then through the first flange 102, that is, enter the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2.

[0093] The bend between the first body 101 and the first flange 102 is arc-shaped, i.e., rounded corners are made, which makes the lines at the bend smoother and the transition more rounded. While improving the aesthetics of the vehicle, it also ensures that water flows smoothly along the outer side panel 1 under the action of gravity, first through the first body 101, then through the first flange 102, and then into the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the outer side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2.

[0094] In some alternative embodiments, the second flange 202 is located below the second body 201, with the second flange 202 facing the ground, and the bend between the second body 201 and the second flange 202 is arc-shaped.

[0095] It is understandable that, similar to the side panel 1, due to the specific relative positional relationship between the side panel 1 and the fender 2, the second flange 202 is located below the second body 201, and the cross section of the fender 2 is "L" shaped.

[0096] The bend between the second body 201 and the second flange 202 is arc-shaped, i.e., rounded corner treatment, which makes the lines at the bend smoother and the transition more rounded, thus enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle's appearance.

[0097] When the width of the slit is less than 2.8 mm, the surface tension of the water will prevent the water from flowing out of the slit unless sufficient pressure is applied to make the water pressure exceed the critical pressure. Therefore, in some alternative embodiments, the width of the outlet end 302 is set to be greater than or equal to 2.8 mm.

[0098] Specifically, the width of the inlet end 301 can be 2mm and the width of the outlet end 302 can be 3mm, so that the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is conducive to the drainage of accumulated water.

[0099] Moreover, the bottom (outlet end 302) of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is 3mm wide. When water flows through this gap, it will not be difficult to drain smoothly due to the surface tension of the liquid, thus avoiding the accumulation of water in the gap 3 and causing corrosion of the trim of the side panel 1 or the fender 2.

[0100] It is understandable that after bending the edge of the first body 101 of the side panel 1 to create the first flange 102, the first flange 102 will continue to be bent. Specifically, the first flange 102 will continue to bend from top to bottom into the vehicle body, thereby increasing the width of the lower outlet end 302 of the gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2. In some optional embodiments, the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is shorter than the first flange 102 of the side panel 1. Therefore, there will be a special area at the lower part of the outlet end 302 of the gap 3, where only the first flange 102 extending downward exists, and this part of the first flange 102 has no adjacent second flange 202. For this part of the first flange 102 that exists alone, since there is no adjacent second flange 202, there is no possibility of further forming a gap, and therefore it will not affect the drainage speed. In this case, the first flange 102, which exists separately, can bend gradually from top to bottom away from the vehicle body, thereby guiding the direction of drainage and allowing the accumulated water to be discharged more accurately away from the vehicle body, avoiding the impact on other parts of the chassis.

[0101] In some alternative embodiments, the side panel 1 can be in the shape of conventional technology, that is, the inner side of the side panel 1 is perpendicular to the vehicle chassis. The shape of the fender 2 is improved by making the second flange 202 of the fender 2 continue to fold inward when making the inner side of the fender 2, so that the distance between the top of the second flange 202 of the fender and the top of the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 is less than the distance between the bottom of the second flange 202 of the fender and the bottom of the first flange 102 of the side panel 1. The gap 3 between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is conducive to the drainage of water.

[0102] The vehicle body provided in this application embodiment includes adjacent side panel 1 and fender 2. A gap 3 is formed between the first flange 102 of the side panel 1 and the second flange 202 of the fender 2, which are hidden inside the vehicle body. The width of the outlet end 302 of the gap 3 is wider than the width of the inlet end 301, for example, it has a V-shaped structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom, which facilitates the drainage of water and prevents water from accumulating in the gap 3 and causing the trim of the side panel 1 or fender 2 to rust.
