[0002] Some openings on the vehicle's peripheral panels (including the side panels, front panels, rear panels, door panels, etc.) (such as the fuel tank opening of a fuel vehicle, the charging port of an electric vehicle, windows, etc.) are provided with flanges to facilitate the installation of certain structures at the openings (such as the fuel tank cover, the charging port cover, and window glass). However, during the electrophoretic coating process of the vehicle, the vehicle's peripheral panels are generally vertical, and the above-mentioned openings thereon, due to the flanges, especially the flanges at the lower edges of the openings, cause the paint to be retained and gathered at the flanges. The paint gathered on the flanges can cause uneven coating of the paint and excessive thickness of the paint at the flanges. In severe cases, due to too much accumulation, the paint overflows from the flanges and flows on the outer surface of the peripheral panels to form sags, affecting the appearance. Summary of the invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that if there are directional indications involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture. If this specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0027] In this specification, the position terms "upper" and "lower" are defined according to the orientation of the vehicle peripheral vertical plate during the painting process.

[0028] In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0029] In view of the prior art, during the electrocoating process of the vehicle body, at the orifice of the vehicle peripheral vertical plate with a flange, the painting paint is likely to accumulate on the flange, resulting in uneven painting, and even flowing outside the outer side surface of the peripheral vertical plate due to excessive accumulation of the painting paint, affecting the appearance of the vehicle. Therefore, the present invention provides a vehicle peripheral vertical plate with an orifice structure suitable for painting to overcome the above technical problems.

[0030] Figures 1 to 4An exemplary embodiment of a vehicle peripheral vertical plate according to the present invention is shown. The vehicle peripheral vertical plate includes a peripheral vertical plate body 10 and an orifice 11 provided on the peripheral vertical plate body 10. The peripheral vertical plate body 10 has an inner side surface 10A facing the vehicle interior and an outer side surface 10B facing away from the vehicle interior. A flange 20 is provided at the edge of the orifice 11. The flange 20 extends from the edge of the orifice 11 from the inner side surface 10A and extends in the direction towards the inner side surface 10A. The flange 20 at least includes a lower edge flange 20A, and the lower edge flange 20A is arranged at the lower edge 11A of the orifice 11. An outflow channel 23 is provided on the lower edge flange 20A. During the electrophoretic coating process of the vehicle body, the coating paint on the lower edge flange 20A can be guided by the outflow channel 23 to flow towards the inner side surface 10A through the outflow channel 23, and then flow down, and at most form an uneven paint layer or leave a mark on the inner side surface 10A. In this way, it is possible to avoid uneven coating at the lower edge flange 20A or paint overflow on the outer side surface 10B to form a sag, which affects the appearance due to the accumulation of coating paint on the lower edge flange 20A. It should be understood that the flange 20 can be integrally formed with the peripheral vertical plate body 10 during the stamping process of the peripheral vertical plate body 10.

[0031] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in some embodiments, the lower edge flange 20A is configured in a stepped shape and includes a first folding portion 21 and a second folding portion 22. The first folding portion 21 extends from the lower edge 11A of the orifice 11 from the inner side surface 10A and extends in the direction towards the inner side surface 10A, and then forms a free side 21A of the first folding portion 21. The second folding portion 22 is bent and extended from the free side 21A of the first folding portion 21 towards the inside of the orifice 11 (i.e., upwards).

[0032] Preferably, the outflow channel 23 is configured as a hole and / or a notch. And, in some embodiments, the outflow channel 23 is at least partially arranged on the first folding portion 21, including the outflow channel 23 being completely arranged on the first folding portion 21. Specifically, as Figure 3 shown in the embodiment, the outflow channel 23 is configured as a notch provided on the lower edge flange 20A. The notch can be partially formed on the second folding portion 22, and, in some embodiments, the notch at least extends to the first folding portion 21, such as extending to the free side 21A of the first folding portion 21. In this way, the excessive coating paint accumulated on the lower edge flange 20A can smoothly flow through the notch towards the inner side surface 10A. In some alternative embodiments, the outflow channel 23 is configured as a hole opened on the lower edge flange 20A. The hole can be at least partially arranged on the first folding portion 21, such as partially arranged on the free side 21A of the first folding portion 21, and at the same time partially arranged on the second folding portion 22. The excessive coating paint accumulated on the lower edge flange 20A can smoothly flow through the hole towards the inner side surface 10A. It should be understood that both the above-mentioned hole and notch can be provided on the lower edge flange 20A as the outflow channel 23.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the first folding portion 21 is configured to have a cross-sectional shape that protrudes outward from the orifice 11 to form an arc and has a lowest point. The outflow channel 23, such as the holes and / or notches described above, is at least partially disposed at or extends to the position of the lowest point of the first folding portion 21. By utilizing the downwardly convex curved shape of the first folding portion 21, it is more conducive to the excess coating paint accumulated on the lower edge flange 20A to flow towards this lowest point, and then flow away through the outflow channel 23 to the inner side surface 10A.

[0034] It should be understood that the height of the second folding portion 22, that is, the dimension S2 that the second folding portion 22 extends inward (i.e., upward) from the free side 21A of the first folding portion 21 towards the orifice 11, can be made as small as possible while taking into account the dimensional requirements for installing components at the orifice 11, such as Figure 4 shown, S2 can be less than or equal to 5 mm, so that the excess coating paint on the lower edge flange 20A can cross over the second folding portion 22 and flow away from the inner side surface 10A. At the same time, according to the inventor's experience, the diameter of the coating paint droplets is about 3 mm. Therefore, in order not to accumulate too much and too thick coating paint on the lower edge flange 20A, the height of the second folding portion 22 is preferably less than or equal to 3 mm. In this way, it is conducive to forming a single-layer coating paint layer on the lower edge flange 20A without causing the coating paint to accumulate on the lower edge flange 20A. Similarly, in order for the excess coating paint droplets on the lower edge flange 20A to flow away smoothly through the outflow channel 23, the minimum flow channel dimension S1 of the outflow channel 23, that is, the minimum dimension of the cross-section perpendicular to the fluid flow path in the outflow channel 23, can be greater than or equal to 3 mm, preferably greater than or equal to 5 mm. Specifically, the minimum flow channel dimension S1 of the outflow channel 23 can refer to the opening width of the above-mentioned notch or the diameter of the above-mentioned hole. Figure 5 The dimension S1 of the outflow channel 23 configured as a notch is shown, that is, the opening width of the notch.

[0035] It should be understood that, as Figure 5 shown, the flange 12 can also be disposed on one or more edges of the orifice 11 other than the lower edge 11A to form one or more edge flanges 20B, and the edge flanges 20B can also be configured in a stepped shape and can be communicated with or connected to the lower edge flange 20A. During the coating process, the coating paint on the edge flanges 20B can flow to the lower edge flange 20A, and then flow away through the outflow channel 23 to the inner side surface 10A.

[0036] It should be understood that the vehicle outer vertical plates include the panels that are substantially vertical on the four sides of the vehicle, including the body side panels, the body front panel, the body rear panel, the door panels, etc. For example, when the vehicle outer vertical plate is the body side panel, the corresponding orifice can be a fuel tank orifice (for a fuel vehicle), a charging orifice (for an electric vehicle), a vehicle window orifice, etc.; when the vehicle outer vertical plate is the body front panel or the body rear panel, the corresponding orifice can be a front windshield mounting orifice, a rear windshield mounting orifice or a headlight mounting orifice, etc.; when the vehicle outer vertical plate is the door panel, the corresponding orifice can be a door window orifice, etc.

[0037] It should be understood that the above description of the preferred embodiment is relatively detailed, and it should not be considered as a limitation to the protection scope of the invention patent. Under the inspiration of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make substitutions or deformations without departing from the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
