Abstract

This disclosure relates to a sunroof mounting plate and vehicle, specifically in the field of automotive sunroof technology. The sunroof mounting plate includes two parallel longitudinal beams and two parallel transverse beams. Each longitudinal beam comprises a beam body and a dovetail reinforcement. The beam body has an elongated structure, and the dovetail reinforcement is located at the end of the beam body and connected to its short side, which corresponds to the width of the beam body. The dovetail reinforcement has a first mounting hole for connecting to the upper side beam of the vehicle. The two transverse beams are located between the two longitudinal beam bodies and are connected to them to form a frame structure. By providing dovetail reinforcements at the ends of the longitudinal beam bodies, both the beam bodies and the reinforcements serve as torsional force transmission paths, improving the vehicle body's torsional mode and stiffness. This avoids increasing the material thickness of the longitudinal beam bodies and transverse beams, balancing the stiffness and weight parameters of the sunroof mounting plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of automotive sunroof technology, and in particular to a sunroof mounting plate and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements and increased consumer focus on driving experience, sunroof components, especially panoramic sunroofs, are gaining popularity. However, the larger the opening area of ​​the sunroof mounting plate, the greater the impact on the torsional mode and stiffness of the vehicle's frame.

[0003] In related technologies, the thickness of the sunroof mounting plate is usually increased to meet the requirements of the torsional mode and stiffness performance of the vehicle body frame.

[0004] Increasing the thickness of the sunroof mounting plate will increase the overall weight of the vehicle, which is not conducive to the pursuit of lightweight vehicle design. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a sunroof mounting plate and a vehicle, which can solve the aforementioned technical problems existing in related technologies. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] In one aspect, a sunroof mounting plate is provided, the sunroof mounting plate comprising two parallel longitudinal beams and two parallel transverse beams;

[0007] The longitudinal beam includes a longitudinal beam body and a dovetail reinforcement. The longitudinal beam body has an elongated structure. The dovetail reinforcement is located at the end of the longitudinal beam body and is connected to the short side of the longitudinal beam body. The short side is the side corresponding to the width direction of the longitudinal beam body. The dovetail reinforcement has a first mounting hole, which is used to connect the dovetail reinforcement to the upper side beam of the vehicle.

[0008] Both crossbeams are located between the two longitudinal beam bodies, and the two crossbeams are connected to the two longitudinal beam bodies to form a frame structure.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the longitudinal beam body has a first reinforcing rib, and the transverse beam has a second reinforcing rib, with the first and second reinforcing ribs facing each other end to end to form an annular inner reinforcing rib.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the inner reinforcing rib has a boss with a second mounting hole for connecting the sunroof mounting plate to the sunroof assembly.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the longitudinal beam body has a third reinforcing rib, the transverse beam has a fourth reinforcing rib, and the third and fourth reinforcing ribs are aligned end to end to form an annular outer reinforcing rib.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the outer reinforcing rib has a groove for receiving the vibration-damping adhesive that connects the sunroof mounting plate to the vehicle roof.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the longitudinal beam body has a fifth reinforcing rib located at the end of the longitudinal beam body near the dovetail reinforcement and between the inner reinforcing rib and the outer reinforcing rib.

[0014] In some possible implementations, there is a height difference between the fifth reinforcing rib, the first reinforcing rib, and the third reinforcing rib.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the longitudinal beam body is connected to the transverse beam by welding.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the thickness of the crossbeam is less than the thickness of the longitudinal beam body.

[0017] In a second aspect, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the sunroof mounting plate as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure include at least the following:

[0019] In this disclosure, by providing dovetail reinforcements at the ends of the longitudinal beam body, the longitudinal beam body and the dovetail reinforcements simultaneously serve as the transmission path for torsional force. In this way, by increasing the transmission path of torsional force on the sunroof mounting plate, the torsional mode and stiffness of the vehicle body are improved, thereby avoiding the need to increase the material thickness of the longitudinal beam body and the crossbeam, and taking into account both the stiffness and weight parameters of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0032] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this disclosure to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In related technologies, the sunroof mounting plate includes two parallel longitudinal beams and two parallel transverse beams. The longitudinal and transverse beams are connected end-to-end to form a frame-like structure for accommodating the sunroof assembly. As the user's required area for the light-transmitting region in the sunroof assembly increases, the frame-like structure also becomes larger.

[0035] Mechanical analysis shows that the larger the opening area of ​​the sunroof mounting plate, the greater the impact on the torsional mode and stiffness parameters of the vehicle body frame. To balance a larger opening area and stiffness parameters, the thickness of the longitudinal and transverse beams is usually increased.

[0036] As the thickness of the material increases, the torsional resistance of the sunroof mounting plate becomes stronger, better preventing the centrally located sunroof assembly from being subjected to external force. However, at the same time, the increased material thickness also means an increase in the weight of the sunroof mounting plate, leading to an increase in the overall vehicle weight and energy loss. Balancing the rigidity and weight of the sunroof mounting plate is a crucial challenge currently facing the market.

[0037] This disclosure provides a sunroof mounting plate, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the sunroof mounting plate includes two parallel longitudinal beams 1 and two parallel transverse beams 2.

[0038] The longitudinal beam 1 includes a longitudinal beam body 11 and a dovetail reinforcement 12. The longitudinal beam body 11 has an elongated structure. The dovetail reinforcement 12 is located at the end of the longitudinal beam body 11 and is connected to the short side of the longitudinal beam body 11. The short side is the side corresponding to the width direction of the longitudinal beam body 11. The dovetail reinforcement 12 has a first mounting hole 12a, which is used to connect the dovetail reinforcement 12 to the upper side beam of the vehicle.

[0039] Both crossbeams 2 are located between the two longitudinal beam bodies 11, and the two crossbeams 2 and the two longitudinal beam bodies 11 are connected to form a frame structure. The frame structure formed by the connection of the two crossbeams 2 and the two longitudinal beam bodies 11 is used to accommodate the sunroof assembly of the vehicle. Therefore, the dimensional parameters of the crossbeams 2 and the longitudinal beam bodies 11 are matched and set according to the dimensional parameters of the sunroof assembly of different vehicles.

[0040] This disclosure does not specify the number of dovetail reinforcement members 12 included in a longitudinal beam 1. A longitudinal beam body 11 can be connected to a dovetail reinforcement member 12, or a longitudinal beam body 11 can be connected to two dovetail reinforcement members 12. The specific number can be matched and set according to parameters such as the stiffness analysis of each area of ​​the sunroof mounting plate, manufacturing cost, and frame parameters.

[0041] Unless otherwise specified, this disclosure will be described using the example of a longitudinal beam body 11 connected to a dovetail reinforcement 12, with the dovetail reinforcement 12 located at the end of the longitudinal beam body 11 near the rear of the vehicle.

[0042] This disclosure does not specify the connection method between the dovetail reinforcement 12 and the longitudinal beam body 11. It can adopt detachable connection methods such as threaded fastening or snap-fit ​​connection, or non-detachable connection methods such as glue application or welding, or integrated connection methods such as casting or stamping. The specific method can be matched and set according to factors such as the shape and size of the sunroof mounting plate and the connection strength requirements of different vehicles for the dovetail reinforcement 12 and the longitudinal beam body 11.

[0043] The sunroof mounting plate of this embodiment uses a dovetail reinforcement 12 at the end of the longitudinal beam body 11. The longitudinal beam body 11 and the dovetail reinforcement 12 serve as the transmission path of torsional force. In this way, by increasing the transmission path of torsional force of the sunroof mounting plate, the torsional mode and stiffness of the vehicle body are improved, so as to avoid increasing the material thickness of the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2, and to take into account both the stiffness parameters and weight parameters of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0044] In some embodiments, the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2 are connected by welding. Welding involves heating to melt and fuse the metal materials of the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2, thereby forming a larger contact area on the connecting surface. As a result, the welding process has the characteristic of high connection strength, which can effectively reduce the deformation of the sunroof mounting plate when the vehicle is subjected to external forces (such as rear-end collisions or impacts), thereby preventing cracks or breakage of the glass components in the sunroof assembly.

[0045] Meanwhile, there are many types of welding methods and the welding process is widely adaptable, which can meet different requirements and batch production. Furthermore, the electrical signals of the welding specification parameters are easy to control, and welding automation is relatively easy to achieve, thereby improving the production efficiency of sunroof mounting plates.

[0046] The sunroof mounting plate adopts a split structure of longitudinal beam body 11 and transverse beam 2. On the one hand, the split structure design allows the sunroof mounting plate to be stamped and formed from smaller parts. Compared with the integral structure, this design can make more efficient use of raw materials, reduce material waste, and thus reduce costs. On the other hand, smaller parts are easier to stamp and form, which not only improves the production efficiency of the sunroof mounting plate, but also reduces the requirements for production equipment and processes, avoiding excessive scrap rates for the sunroof mounting plate.

[0047] The split-type sunroof mounting plate offers greater flexibility in design and manufacturing. Its size and shape can be adjusted to suit different vehicle models and sunroof assembly specifications, meeting diverse needs. Furthermore, the split structure facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing repair costs.

[0048] This disclosure does not specifically limit the materials of the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2. They can be made of metal materials such as steel, aluminum, and alloys, or high-strength plastics. At the same time, the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2 can be made of the same material or different materials. The specific materials can be matched and set according to parameters such as manufacturing cost, stiffness requirements at different locations, and total weight limit of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0049] In some embodiments, the thickness of the crossbeam 2 is less than the thickness of the longitudinal beam body 11. When the sunroof mounting plate is in operation, the required stiffness of the longitudinal beam body 11 is higher than that of the crossbeam 2. Therefore, to meet the stiffness requirements of the sunroof mounting plate in the crossbeam 2 region, the thickness of the crossbeam 2 can be appropriately reduced so that the thickness of the crossbeam 2 is less than that of the longitudinal beam body 11.

[0050] In this way, when the target stiffness requirements are met at each position of the sunroof mounting plate, reducing the material thickness of the crossbeam 2 can reduce the overall weight of the processed crossbeam 2, which is conducive to the pursuit of lightweight vehicle design and reduces energy consumption during vehicle operation.

[0051] At the same time, reducing the thickness of the crossbeam 2 can also reduce the amount of raw materials used in the crossbeam 2, reduce the raw material cost of the sunroof mounting plate, further reduce the cost of the vehicle, and improve the vehicle's market competitiveness.

[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal beam body 11 has a first reinforcing rib 11a, and the crossbeam 2 has a second reinforcing rib 2a. The first reinforcing rib 11a extends along the extension direction of the longitudinal beam body 11, and the second reinforcing rib 2a extends along the extension direction of the crossbeam 2. The first reinforcing rib 11a and the second reinforcing rib 2a are aligned end to end to form an annular inner reinforcing rib.

[0053] The inner reinforcing ribs enhance the sunroof mounting plate's resistance to deformation, enabling it to more effectively resist deformation when facing external loads (such as impacts and snow pressure). This design allows the sunroof mounting plate to maintain its original shape and dimensions during long-term use, ensuring the normal function and safety of the sunroof assembly and protecting passengers from accidental injury caused by the sunroof assembly.

[0054] The inner reinforcing ribs also improve the load-bearing capacity of the sunroof mounting plate. This means that the sunroof mounting plate can better withstand the weight and pressure from the vehicle body and other components (such as the sunroof assembly) during installation and use, ensuring the stability and safety of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner reinforcing rib has a boss 3, and the boss 3 has a second mounting hole 3a, which is used to connect the sunroof mounting plate to the sunroof assembly.

[0056] The boss 3 increases the material thickness around the second mounting hole 3a, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the area surrounding the second mounting hole 3a. This reinforcement helps the second mounting hole 3a effectively resist external loads and vibrations when the sunroof mounting plate is assembled with the sunroof assembly and put into use, preventing deformation or damage to the material around the second mounting hole 3a. Therefore, providing the boss 3 can improve the stability and durability of the connection between the sunroof mounting plate and the sunroof assembly.

[0057] During installation, fasteners (such as bolts and nuts) can exert stress on the material around the second mounting hole 3a. The boss 3 optimizes stress distribution, making it more uniform. This helps reduce stress concentration and lowers the risk of damage to the inner reinforcing rib material due to excessive stress.

[0058] Meanwhile, the boss 3 can also serve as a positioning reference, helping installers to quickly and accurately find the correct installation position, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sunroof mounting plate and the sunroof assembly.

[0059] This disclosure does not limit the number of second mounting holes 3a, which can be matched and set according to parameters such as the size of the sunroof assembly, the connection strength requirements between the sunroof mounting plate and the sunroof assembly, and the assembly complexity. This disclosure also does not limit the number of bosses 3, which can be matched and set according to the number of second mounting holes 3a. For example, each second mounting hole 3a may correspond to one boss 3; another example is that some second mounting holes 3a may each correspond to one boss 3, while other second mounting holes 3a may not have bosses 3 around them.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal beam body 11 has a third reinforcing rib 11b, and the transverse beam 2 has a fourth reinforcing rib 2b. The third reinforcing rib 11b and the fourth reinforcing rib 2b are aligned end to end to form an outer ring of reinforcing ribs.

[0061] The outer reinforcing ribs, building upon the inner reinforcing ribs, further enhance the sunroof mounting plate's resistance to deformation, enabling it to more effectively resist deformation under external loads (such as impacts and snow pressure). This design allows the sunroof mounting plate to maintain its original shape and dimensions over long-term use, further ensuring the normal function and safety of the sunroof assembly, thereby protecting passengers from accidental injury caused by the sunroof assembly.

[0062] The addition of outer reinforcing ribs further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the sunroof mounting plate. This means that during installation and use, the sunroof mounting plate can better withstand the weight and pressure from the vehicle body and other components (such as the sunroof assembly), ensuring the stability and safety of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the outer reinforcing rib has a groove 4, which is used to accommodate the vibration damping adhesive that connects the sunroof mounting plate to the vehicle roof.

[0064] On the one hand, when a vehicle travels on uneven roads, various vibrations and noises are generated. As a highly elastic material, vibration damping rubber can effectively absorb and disperse this vibration energy, thereby reducing vibration amplitude and noise level, improving vehicle ride comfort, and optimizing the passenger experience. At the same time, vibration damping rubber can reduce the damage to materials caused by vibration and impact, thus reducing material fatigue and wear, and extending the service life of sunroof mounting plates and vehicle roofs.

[0065] On the other hand, the sunroof mounting plate is firmly connected to the vehicle roof through the bonding and fixing effect of the vibration damping adhesive, preventing the sunroof mounting plate from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force.

[0066] The outer reinforcing ribs are equipped with adhesive grooves, which can precisely control the amount of vibration damping adhesive used, avoiding excessive or insufficient application. This helps reduce production costs and improve the utilization rate of the vibration damping adhesive. The adhesive grooves also ensure that the vibration damping adhesive is evenly distributed during the application process, avoiding localized areas that are too thick or too thin, thus improving the overall quality and performance of the adhesive layer.

[0067] Using a glue tray can indicate the target location of the vibration damping adhesive to the processing personnel, enabling them to quickly identify and apply the adhesive, which helps improve the production efficiency of sunroof mounting panels and shorten the production cycle.

[0068] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the longitudinal beam body 11 has a fifth reinforcing rib 11c, which is located at the end of the longitudinal beam body 11 near the dovetail reinforcing member 12 and between the inner reinforcing rib and the outer reinforcing rib.

[0069] Setting a separate reinforcing rib (i.e., the fifth reinforcing rib 11c) at a location with poor stiffness parameters of the sunroof mounting plate can significantly improve the stiffness parameters at that location. This prevents deformation, cracks, breaks, and other adverse phenomena from occurring at the location with poor stiffness parameters during the installation or use of the sunroof mounting plate, which could lead to failure of the sunroof mounting plate or damage to the sunroof assembly.

[0070] In some embodiments, there is a height difference between the fifth reinforcing rib 11c, the first reinforcing rib 11a, and the third reinforcing rib 11b.

[0071] The height difference design allows the various reinforcing ribs of the sunroof mounting plate to more effectively disperse stress when subjected to external forces, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution and preventing stress concentration at one or a few reinforcing ribs, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0072] Sunroof mounting plates not only need to meet structural performance requirements, but also certain functional requirements. For example, in some vehicle models, the sunroof mounting plate needs to function as part of a drainage channel or ventilation opening. In this case, by setting reinforcing ribs at different heights, it can be ensured that the sunroof mounting plate meets these special functional requirements.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the end of the dovetail stiffener 12 is flush with the connection position between the longitudinal beam body 11 and the transverse beam 2. Because the larger the size of the dovetail stiffener 12, the greater the stress load it can withstand, and the better the torsional mode and stiffness parameters of the dovetail stiffener 12.

[0074] On the one hand, if the end of the dovetail reinforcement 12 extends beyond the connection position between the longitudinal beam body 11 and the transverse beam 2, although the size of the dovetail reinforcement 12 is further increased, the sharp structure at the end of the dovetail reinforcement 12 is easily damaged or poses a threat to the personal safety of the installers during the movement and installation of the longitudinal beam 1.

[0075] On the other hand, if the end of the dovetail reinforcement 12 does not reach the connection position between the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2, it means that the connection position between the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2 is too close to the center position of the crossbeam 2, resulting in the crossbeam 2 being too small. Since the thickness of the crossbeam 2 is less than the thickness of the longitudinal beam body 11, the crossbeam 2 being too small is not conducive to reducing the overall weight of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0076] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a vehicle that may include a sunroof mounting plate as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0077] When a vehicle is subjected to external forces, the sunroof mounting plate of this embodiment can improve the vehicle body's torsional mode and stiffness parameters. This will be illustrated using an example of a vehicle being impacted from one side:

[0078] When a vehicle is impacted on one side, the external force is transmitted through certain locations on the frame (e.g., A-pillar, B-pillar, etc.) to the longitudinal beam body 11 and dovetail reinforcement 12 corresponding to the impacted side, and then through the crossbeam 2 to the longitudinal beam body 11 and dovetail reinforcement 12 corresponding to the unimpacted side. The external force is then transmitted to the frame through the longitudinal beam body 11 and dovetail reinforcement 12 corresponding to the unimpacted side, thus forming a complete external force transmission path.

[0079] In this way, the longitudinal beam body 11 and the dovetail reinforcement 12 can both serve as the transmission path of external forces. Compared with the related technologies where only the longitudinal beam body 11 serves as the transmission path of external forces, this increases the transmission path of the torsional force of the sunroof mounting plate, thereby improving the torsional mode and stiffness of the vehicle body. This avoids excessively increasing the material thickness of the longitudinal beam body 11 and the crossbeam 2, taking into account both the stiffness and weight parameters of the sunroof mounting plate.

[0080] This disclosure does not specifically limit the type of vehicle, such as cars, buses, trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), etc. The vehicle can be a gasoline vehicle, a pure electric vehicle (BEV, or EV), or a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), such as a range-extended vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
