[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle rear side panel assembly, which can solve the technical problem in the related art that after the C-pillar of the vehicle is removed, the overall supporting strength of the vehicle may be affected and the rigidity of the vehicle may be reduced.

[0037] See also Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle rear side assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application may include: a C-pillar upper side beam 1; a D-pillar assembly 2, wherein the D-pillar assembly 2 is connected to the C-pillar upper side beam 1, and a rear longitudinal beam 3 is fixed to one end of the D-pillar assembly 2 away from the C-pillar upper side beam 1, and the rear longitudinal beam 3 extends along the X direction of the vehicle, and a shock absorber fixing part 4 is installed on the rear longitudinal beam 3; a reinforcing beam assembly 5, wherein one end of the reinforcing beam assembly 5 is fixed to a side of the D-pillar assembly 2 close to the C-pillar upper side beam 1, and the other end is fixed to the rear longitudinal beam 3, and the reinforcing beam assembly 5 is connected to the shock absorber fixing part 4, and is used to strengthen the rigidity of the shock absorber mounting point in the shock absorber fixing part 4. The shock absorber fixing part 4 may refer to a chassis shock absorber mounting plate, and the reinforcing beam assembly 5 may be fixed to the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3 by welding, or may be fixed in other ways other than welding, such as bolt connection. It should be understood that in the direction facing the front of the vehicle, the left and right sides of the vehicle should be symmetrically provided with structures such as the reinforcing beam assembly 5 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application sets a reinforcing beam assembly 5 between the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3. The reinforcing beam assembly 5 has a certain supporting function between the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3, and the reinforcing beam assembly 5 can be welded and fixed to the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3 respectively, so that the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3 can be transmitted through the reinforcing beam assembly 5, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the vehicle without a C-pillar. In addition, the reinforcing beam assembly 5 is connected to the shock absorber fixing member 4, which can also enhance the rigidity around the shock absorber installation point, prevent the installation point from loosening or being damaged due to excessive force on the shock absorber, so that the vehicle without a C-pillar can meet the viewing field of the occupants while enhancing the stability of the vehicle. During the driving process of the vehicle, the large load transmitted to the vehicle body by the road surface and the tire can be effectively dispersed and transmitted to the rear side frame member of the vehicle, thereby preventing the shock absorber fixing member 4 from stress concentration, cracking and other problems. Furthermore, the C-pillar upper side beam 1 is connected to the D-pillar assembly 2. When the vehicle is hit, the impact force received at the C-pillar upper side beam 1 can also be transmitted to the reinforcing beam assembly 5 through the D-pillar, thereby realizing the force transmission of the vehicle during the collision, enhancing the overall safety, and solving the technical problem in the related technology that after the C-pillar of the vehicle is removed, the overall supporting strength of the vehicle may be affected and the rigidity of the vehicle may be reduced.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the reinforcing beam assembly 5 may include: a first reinforcing beam 51, wherein two ends of the first reinforcing beam 51 are respectively fixed to the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3; a second reinforcing beam 52, wherein the second reinforcing beam 52 is spaced apart from the first reinforcing beam 51, and two ends of the second reinforcing beam 52 are respectively fixed to the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3, wherein the second reinforcing beam 52 and the first reinforcing beam 51 are connected via a reinforcing cross beam 53, such that the first reinforcing beam 51, the second reinforcing beam 52 and the reinforcing cross beam 53 form an "H"-shaped beam, and the reinforcing cross beam 53 is connected to the shock absorber fixing 4. In the embodiment of the present application, the first reinforcing beam 51 and the second reinforcing beam 52 can be arranged at intervals along the X-direction of the vehicle, and the two beams are respectively used to connect the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3. In addition to further enhancing the support of the reinforcing beam assembly 5, the force transmission between the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3 can also be made more efficient. In addition to improving the vehicle's anti-collision ability and overall safety performance, the provision of the reinforcing cross beam 53 can also enable some structures in the reinforcing beam assembly 5 to be specifically connected to the shock absorber fixing part 4, thereby improving the stability and durability of the shock absorber.

[0040] See also Figure 3As shown, further, for comprehensive consideration of the production process and the supporting strength, the first reinforcing beam 51 and the second reinforcing beam 52 can be divided into multiple sections along their respective length directions. In the embodiment of the present application, the first reinforcing beam 51 is manufactured into four sections, and the second reinforcing beam 52 is also manufactured into four sections, so as to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of each section, and enable the manufactured sections to be more closely connected with other structures on the vehicle when arranged on the vehicle, thereby enhancing the connection stability, reducing the vibration and noise of the vehicle during driving, and improving the ride comfort; at the same time, it also helps to improve the collision resistance and overall safety of the vehicle. Preferably, the first reinforcing beam 51, the section close to the reinforcing cross beam 53, the section close to the reinforcing cross beam 53 in the second reinforcing beam 52 and the reinforcing cross beam 53 can be integrally formed, and the section can be regarded as the central section 54. The integrally formed central section 54 can have a stronger strength and can more effectively bear and disperse the load from all directions of the vehicle. In addition to the reinforcing cross beam 53 being fixed to the shock absorber fixing member 4, the section of the first reinforcing beam 51 in the central section 54 and the section of the first reinforcing beam 51 can also be fixed to the shock absorber fixing member 4, increasing the contact and fixed area between the reinforcing beam assembly 5 and the shock absorber fixing member 4, so that the reinforcing beam assembly 5 can have a greater force on the shock absorber fixing member 4, thereby improving the stability and durability of the shock absorber. Further, the top surface of the reinforcing cross beam 53 along the vehicle height direction can be flush with the top surface of the shock absorber fixing member 4, so that the connection surface between the reinforcing beam assembly 5 and the shock absorber fixing member 4 can be more concentrated, making the connection more firm and reliable, and improving the stability and durability of the entire structure. In some other embodiments, the first reinforcement beam 51 , the second reinforcement beam 52 and the reinforcement cross beam 53 may also be integrally formed.

That is, the first reinforcing beam 51 and the second reinforcing beam 52 are respectively fixed to different segments in the D-pillar assembly 2, and by dispersing and strengthening the connection points, the connection strength of the vehicle body structure can be enhanced, and the anti-collision ability of the vehicle is improved. Preferably, the second reinforcing beam 52 is fixed to the side of the middle segment 22 close to the upper segment 21, and the first reinforcing beam 51 is fixed to the side of the upper segment 21 close to the C-pillar upper side beam 1. Furthermore, a lower segment 23 may be fixed to one end of the middle segment 22 away from the upper segment 21 , and one end of the lower segment 23 away from the middle segment 22 is connected to the rear longitudinal beam 3 .

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the vehicle rear side enclosure assembly further includes a rear pillar connecting beam 6, one end of which is mounted on the D-pillar assembly 2, and the other end of which is obliquely extended and fixed to the pedal beam 31 of the rear longitudinal beam 3. The rear pillar connecting beam 6 is at least partially fixed to the first reinforcing beam 51 and forms a first reinforcing cavity with the first reinforcing beam 51. One end of the pillar connecting beam can be welded and fixed to the D-pillar assembly 2, and the other end is welded and fixed to the pedal beam 31, which increases the force transmission path of the vehicle rear side enclosure assembly. A certain inclination angle is formed between the pillar connecting beam and the rear longitudinal beam 3, which can enhance the support performance of the pillar connecting beam. The oblique extension can better bear the load and impact force from the side of the vehicle, and further, it can also realize the force transmission between the D-pillar assembly 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3. In addition, welding and fixing at least part of the pillar connecting beam to the first reinforcing beam 51 to form a first reinforcing cavity helps to absorb and disperse the impact force, and further protect the safety of passengers.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the vehicle rear side enclosure assembly further includes a connecting outer panel, which is fixed to the second reinforcing beam 52, and the connecting outer panel and the second reinforcing beam 52 cooperate to enclose a second reinforcing cavity. The connecting outer panel and the second reinforcing beam 52 can also be welded and fixed, and the second reinforcing cavity enclosed by them also helps to absorb and disperse the impact force, further protecting the safety of passengers. One end of the connecting outer panel can be welded to the D-pillar assembly 2, and the other end can be fixed to the fender above the rear wheel hub of the vehicle; the pillar connecting beam can also extend a certain length along the circumference of the fender above the rear wheel hub of the vehicle, which reasonably utilizes the structure and space of the vehicle.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the C-pillar upper side beam 1 has a first cavity 11; the D-pillar assembly 2 includes an upper segment 21, the upper segment 21 is connected to the C-pillar upper side beam 1, and the upper segment 21 has a second cavity 211 connected to the first cavity 11; the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 211 are both installed with skeleton reinforcements, and the outer periphery of the skeleton reinforcements is respectively attached to the inner wall of the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 211. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to further increase the space inside the vehicle and enhance the riding comfort of passengers, the cross-sectional size of the C-pillar upper side beam 1 can be reduced. At this time, the sheet metal of the C-pillar upper side beam 1 can be overlapped and welded with the D-pillar assembly 2 to form a tighter connection and support each other. In order to reduce the cross-sectional size of the C-pillar upper side beam 1 while also reducing the impact on the vehicle's rigidity and stability, a skeleton reinforcement is installed in the first cavity 11. The skeleton reinforcement can extend from the first cavity 11 to the second cavity 211, and its peripheral sides are respectively attached to the inner side walls of the first cavity 11 and the inner side walls of the second cavity 211, so as to enhance the direct force transmission performance between the C-pillar upper side beam 1 and the upper segment 21, and also achieve the lightweight of the vehicle. The "H"-shaped reinforcement beam assembly 5 structure in the front side panel assembly and the rear side panel assembly is connected through the C-pillar upper side beam 1 skeleton. Under side collision and top pressure conditions, the side collision force is effectively transmitted and supported in the "H"-shaped reinforcement beam assembly 5, greatly improving the structural safety of the side panel without a C-pillar.

[0045] Preferably, the upper segment 21 includes a D-pillar reinforcement plate and a D-pillar inner plate connected to the D-pillar reinforcement plate, the D-pillar reinforcement plate and the D-pillar inner plate enclose the second cavity 211, and the outer periphery of the skeleton reinforcement member located in the second cavity 211 is respectively attached to the D-pillar inner plate and the D-pillar reinforcement plate. The D-pillar reinforcement plate and the D-pillar inner plate are manufactured separately to reduce the manufacturing difficulty, and they are welded and fixed after the manufacturing is completed; the end of the rear pillar connecting beam 6 close to the D-pillar assembly 2 can be connected to the D-pillar reinforcement plate, and the end of the first longitudinal beam close to the D-pillar assembly 2 can be fixed to the D-pillar inner plate.

[0046] See also Figure 6As shown, in some optional embodiments, the skeleton reinforcement member includes a skeleton frame 71, the skeleton frame 71 extends along the extension direction of the C-pillar upper side beam 1, and the skeleton frame 71 has a skeleton reinforcement cavity 711; a plurality of sheet metal reinforcement members 72 are fixed at intervals along the extension direction of the skeleton frame 71, and the plurality of sheet metal reinforcement members 72 divide the reinforcement cavity into a plurality of skeleton reinforcement chambers. The peripheral sides of the skeleton frame 71 are respectively attached and fixed to the inner side walls of the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 211, so that the skeleton frame 71 can support the upper segment 21 and the C-pillar upper side beam 1 respectively, and the plurality of sheet metal reinforcement members 72 fixed along the extension direction of the skeleton frame 71 can enhance the overall rigidity of the skeleton frame 71 and enhance its support for the upper segment 21 and the C-pillar upper side beam 1. The plurality of skeleton reinforcement chambers can be arranged to be interconnected or independent of each other.

[0047] Preferably, the skeleton reinforcement is respectively glued and fixed to the C-pillar upper side beam 1 and the upper segment 21.

The lightweight design of the vehicle can be achieved, and the use of modified epoxy resin foaming material as an adhesive can achieve efficient connection between the skeleton reinforcement and the C-pillar upper side beam 1 and the upper segment 21.

[0048] Through CAE analysis and comparison of the performance improvement of the rear side panel by the structural reinforcement parts, it was found that this structure, combined with the rear side panel beam structure, can significantly improve the top pressure result and can effectively improve the safety of the side panel frame structure.
