It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0042] In this article, front, back, left, right, up, and down refer to the orientation of the vehicle when it is placed horizontally. The width direction is the left-right direction (Y direction), the height direction is the up-down direction (Z direction), and the length direction is the front-back direction (X direction).

[0043] See Figures 1 to 7 The rear structure of the vehicle body provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a rear crossbeam 1 of the roof, a left side frame 2, a right side frame 3, a coat rack 4, and a rear floor crossbeam 5. The coat rack 4 includes a coat rack body 41, a front coat rack crossbeam 42 connected to the front side of the coat rack body 41, and a rear coat rack crossbeam 43 connected to the rear side of the coat rack body 41. The rear crossbeam 1 of the roof is located in front of the rear coat rack crossbeam 43, and the coat rack 4 is located between the rear crossbeam 1 of the roof and the rear floor crossbeam 5 in the vehicle height direction.

[0044] The rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover connects to the upper side of the left side frame 2 and the upper side of the right side frame 3. The front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack connects to the left side frame 2 and the right side frame 3.

The rear floor crossbeam 5 connects to the lower side of the left side frame 2 and the lower side of the right side frame 3. The rear floor crossbeam 5 is suitable for welding to the rear floor.

[0045] See Figure 1 The rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover, the left side frame 2, the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack, and the right side frame 3 are connected in sequence to form a first annular force transmission frame R1; the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, the left side frame 2, the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack, and the right side frame 3 are connected in sequence to form a second annular force transmission frame R2; the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover, the left side frame 2, the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, and the right side frame 3 are connected in sequence to form a third annular force transmission frame R3; the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, the left side frame 2, the floor crossbeam 5, and the right side frame 3 are connected in sequence to form a fourth annular force transmission frame R4.

[0046] The first annular force transmission frame R1 gradually tilts downwards from front to back, playing a role in resisting lateral sway in the Z direction.

[0047] The second ring-shaped force transmission frame R2 is roughly parallel to the horizontal plane or forms a small angle with it, which plays a role in resisting lateral sway in the Z direction.

[0048] The third annular force transmission frame R3 is approximately parallel to the vertical plane or forms a small angle with it, serving as a torsional resisting element in the Y direction.

[0049] The fourth annular force transmission frame R4 is approximately parallel to or at a small angle to the vertical plane.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The left side frame 2 includes a left side first column 21, a left side second column 22, a left wheel cover assembly 23, and a left upper beam 24 connecting the upper ends of the left side first column 21 and the left side second column 22. The right side frame 3 includes a right side first column 31, a right side second column 32, a right wheel cover assembly 33, and a right upper beam 34 connecting the upper ends of the right side first column 31 and the right side second column 32. The left wheel cover assembly 23 is connected to the lower end of the left side second column 22, and the right wheel cover assembly 33 is connected to the lower end of the right side second column 32. The left upper beam 24 has a front section 241 and a rear section 242, and the right upper beam 34 has a front section 341 and a rear section 342.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover is connected between the front end of the rear section 242 of the left upper side beam and the front end of the rear section 342 of the right upper side beam. The front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack is connected between the upper side of the left wheel cover assembly 23 and the upper side of the right wheel cover assembly 33. The rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack is connected between the rear end of the rear section 242 of the left upper side beam and the rear end of the rear section 342 of the right upper side beam. The rear floor crossbeam 5 is connected between the lower side of the left wheel cover assembly 23 and the lower side of the right wheel cover assembly 33. Thus, the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover, the rear section 242 of the left upper beam, the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack, and the rear section 342 of the right upper beam are connected in sequence to form the first annular force transmission frame R1; the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, the second column 22 of the left side, the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack, and the second column 32 of the right side are connected in sequence to form the second annular force transmission frame; the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover, the second column 22 of the left side, the front crossbeam 32 of the coat rack, and the second column 32 of the right side are connected in sequence to form the third annular force transmission frame R3; the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, the left wheel cover assembly 23, the floor crossbeam 5, and the right wheel cover assembly 24 are connected in sequence to form the fourth annular force transmission frame R4.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3The left wheel cover assembly 23 includes a left wheel cover 231 and a left wheel cover column (not visible in the figure) connected to the inside of the left wheel cover 231. The right wheel cover assembly 33 includes a right wheel cover 331 and a right wheel cover column 332 connected to the inside of the right wheel cover 331. The front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack is connected between the upper end of the left wheel cover column and the upper end of the right wheel cover column 332. The floor crossbeam 5 is connected between the lower end of the left wheel cover column and the lower end of the right wheel cover column 332. The front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, the left wheel cover column, the floor crossbeam 5, and the right wheel cover column 332 are connected sequentially to form the fourth annular force transmission frame R4. The left wheel arch pillar serves as a reinforcement for the left wheel arch 231. Thus, in the event of a collision involving the left wheel arch 231, the impact force is transmitted through the left wheel arch pillar to the fourth annular force transmission frame R4, and then dispersed from the fourth annular force transmission frame R4 to the first annular force transmission frame R1, the second annular force transmission frame R2, and the first annular force transmission frame R3. This ensures even force distribution across the entire rear of the vehicle, preventing excessive intrusion into the passenger compartment. Similarly, the right wheel arch pillar 332 serves as a reinforcement for the left wheel arch 331. In the event of a collision involving the right wheel arch 331, the impact force is transmitted through the right wheel arch pillar 332 to the fourth annular force transmission frame R4, and then dispersed from the fourth annular force transmission frame R4 to the first annular force transmission frame R1, the second annular force transmission frame R2, and the first annular force transmission frame R3. This ensures even force distribution across the entire rear of the vehicle, preventing excessive intrusion into the passenger compartment.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 7 The floor beam 5 includes a floor beam body 51, a first connector 52, and a second connector 53. The floor beam body 51 is connected between the left wheel arch 231 and the right wheel arch 331. The first connector 52 is connected between the left end of the floor beam body 51 and the lower end of the left wheel arch column. The second connector 53 is connected between the right end of the floor beam body 51 and the lower end of the right wheel arch column 332. This increases the connection area between the floor beam 5 and the left wheel arch assembly 23, and also increases the connection area between the floor beam 5 and the right wheel arch assembly 33, thereby increasing the connection strength between the floor beam 5 and the left wheel arch assembly 23 and the right wheel arch assembly 33.

[0054] In one embodiment, the upper end of the left wheel cover post extends towards the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack, forming a first crossbeam (not visible in the figure), which connects to the left end of the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack. See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper end of the right wheel cover column 332 extends toward the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack to form a second crossbeam 3321, which is connected to the right end of the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack.

[0055] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first window 25 (commonly referred to as a triangular window) is provided between the first left side pillar 21 and the second left side pillar 22; a first longitudinal beam 26 is further included, and the first longitudinal beam 26 is connected between the first left side pillar 21 and the second left side pillar 22 and spans across the first window 25. The strength at the first window 25 is strengthened through the first longitudinal beam 26, and the strength of the left side frame 2 is enhanced.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 a second window 35 is provided between the first right side pillar 31 and the second right side pillar 32; a second longitudinal beam 36 is further included, and the second longitudinal beam 36 is connected between the first right side pillar 31 and the second right side pillar 32 and spans across the second window 35. The strength at the second window 35 is strengthened through the second longitudinal beam 36, and the strength of the right side frame 3 is enhanced.

[0057] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 a front roof cross beam 6 is further included, and the front roof cross beam 6 is connected between the front section 241 of the left upper side beam and the front section 341 of the right upper side beam. The front roof cross beam 6, the left upper side beam 24, the rear roof cross beam 1 and the right upper side beam 34 enclose an installation area D suitable for installing a panoramic sunroof. In this way, the configuration of the panoramic sunroof can be achieved, the skylight opening is relatively large, the field of vision is wide, and the experience is good.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 the rear roof cross beam 1 is a beam with a closed cross section, and the inside of the rear roof cross beam 1 has an inner cavity. Compared with the existing open-type roof cross beam, the rigidity and strength are greater, and it is not easy to bend during a collision. Both ends in the length direction of the rear roof cross beam 1 have flanges for welding with the left upper side beam 24 and the right upper side beam 34.

[0059] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 the front roof cross beam 6 is a beam with a closed cross section, and the inside of the front roof cross beam 6 has an inner cavity. Compared with the existing open-type roof cross beam, the rigidity and strength are greater, and it is not easy to bend during a collision. Both ends in the length direction of the front roof cross beam 6 have flanges for welding with the left upper side beam 24 and the right upper side beam 34.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 the front roof cross beam 6, the left upper side beam 24, the right upper side beam 34, the rear cross beam 43 of the coat rack and the rear roof cross beam 1 form a fifth annular force transmission frame R5. The fifth annular force transmission frame R5 is in the shape of a "day" character and plays a role in resisting bending and torsion in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0061] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1, the rear cross member 1 of the roof is located behind the second row of seats in the X direction, so that the rear cross member 1 of the roof is far from the heads of the second row of occupants, and the head space of the second row of occupants is sufficient, resulting in high riding comfort.

[0062] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , the rear cross member 1 of the roof, the second left side member 22, the upper floor cross member 5, the second right side member 32 and the front cross member 42 of the coat rack form the sixth annular force transmission frame R6. The sixth annular force transmission frame R6 is in the shape of a "day", which plays a role in Y-direction composite anti-torsion.

[0063] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , the coat rack body 41 is in a stepped shape. The coat rack body 41 includes a front side plate 411, a first top plate 412, a middle side plate 413 and a second top plate 414. The first top plate 412 is connected between the upper side of the front side plate 411 and the lower side of the middle side plate 413. The front side of the second top plate 414 is connected to the upper side of the middle side plate 413. The front cross member 42 of the coat rack is connected to the rear side of the front side plate 411 and the lower side of the first top plate 412. The rear cross member 43 of the coat rack is connected to the rear side of the second top plate 414. The width of the second top plate 414 is larger and is used for placing items. The front cross member 42 of the coat rack is arranged behind the front side plate 411 of the coat rack body 41 to avoid occupying the space of the occupant compartment.

[0064] Of course, in some embodiments, the front side plate 411 and the first top plate 412 may also be part of the front cross member 42 of the coat rack.

[0065] In the rear body structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the left side frame 2, the right side frame 3, the coat rack 4, and the upper floor cross member 5 are assembled into a body frame sub-assembly through connection methods such as welding, screwing, and structural adhesive. This body frame sub-assembly is then assembled with the rear cross member 1 of the roof and the front cross member 6 of the roof through welding and screwing to form the rear body structure.

[0066] For the rear body structure of the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1The left-side perimeter frame has seven nodes: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P7. Node P1 connects the first column 21 to the upper left beam 24; P2 connects the first column 21 to the first longitudinal beam 26; P3 connects the rear floor crossbeam to the left wheel arch assembly 23; P4 connects the rear roof crossbeam 1 to the upper left beam 24; P5 connects the second column 22 to the second longitudinal beam 26; P6 connects the front crossbeam 42 of the coat rack to the second column 22 of the right side perimeter; and P7 connects the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack to the upper left beam 24. The right-side perimeter frame 3 also has seven nodes, symmetrically arranged to the left and right sides of the seven nodes on the left-side perimeter frame 2.

[0067] At each node, welded joints are used for reinforcement, which strengthens the overall rear structure of the vehicle body and improves its structural stability. A joint refers to two components welded together by overlapping or nesting, with the corresponding beam having an internal cavity (force transmission cavity).

[0068] In the rear structure of the vehicle body of this embodiment, the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the second annular force transmission frame R2 intersect at the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack (the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack is a shared component of the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the second annular force transmission frame R2), the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the third annular force transmission frame R3 intersect at the rear crossbeam 1 of the roof (the rear crossbeam 1 of the roof is a shared component of the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the third annular force transmission frame R3), and the second annular force transmission frame R2, the third annular force transmission frame R3 and the fourth annular force transmission frame R2...
