DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative only, and is intended to provide further description of the application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

[0021] For the convenience of description, if the words "front", "rear", "left", "right" appear in the application, they only mean the same as the front, rear, left and right directions of the drawings themselves, and do not limit the structure, but only for the convenience of describing the application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the application.

[0022] Example 1 Different floor designs mean that specific chassis and body structures need to be developed for each vehicle model, increasing the complexity and cost of product development; different floor designs require production lines to have high flexibility and customization capabilities, requiring more molds, tooling and production line adjustments, increasing production costs and management complexity; the floor structure in the prior art cannot simultaneously meet the functional requirements of SUV / MPV and the design of a body structure compatible with multiple power sources.

[0023] Based on this, the embodiment provides a flat floor vehicle body structure, which designs a universal flat floor structure that can simultaneously accommodate pure electric vehicle models, hybrid vehicle models and fuel vehicle models (including two-wheel drive fuel vehicle models and four-wheel drive fuel vehicle models).

[0024] As shown in Figure 14 The vehicle body floor of the embodiment is a flat floor structure, including a front floor 1 and a rear floor 2. Compared with the existing floor structure, the front floor 1 of the embodiment is lifted upward by a certain height, reducing the difference between the front floor 1 and the rear floor 2; the front floor 1 and the rear floor 2 have a slight slope. Among them, the front floor 1 of the embodiment is lifted by 50~60cm compared with the existing front floor 1, which is conducive to the flat laying of the carpet 18 and improves the ride experience.

[0025] For pure electric vehicle models, as shown in Figures 4-6As shown, an electric motor 10 is installed between the two front wheels, and a rear-drive motor 11 is installed between the two rear wheels. The pure electric battery pack 3 is located between the front and rear wheels and under the vehicle floor. Specifically, the pure electric battery pack 3 is installed under the front floor 1, and its right end extends a certain length under the rear floor 2. The left and right ends of the pure electric battery pack 3 are connected to the corresponding door sills 8. The door sills 8 are important load-bearing components in the vehicle structure, possessing high strength and rigidity. Connecting the pure electric battery pack 3 to the door sills 8 is equivalent to adding lateral and longitudinal connection points in the vehicle structure, making the vehicle body form a more stable overall frame. At the same time, it makes full use of the space at the bottom of the vehicle near the door sills 8, integrating the pure electric battery pack 3 into the vehicle structure, avoiding the pure electric battery pack 3 occupying too much vertical space inside the vehicle.

[0026] For two-wheel drive gasoline vehicles, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the engine 6 is installed between the two front wheels, and the fuel tank 4 is installed under the rear floor 2, corresponding to the area below the seat rail 7. The fuel tank 4 is connected to the rear floor 2 by bolts, or the fuel tank 4 is installed on a bracket, which is welded or bolted to the rear floor 2.

[0027] Since the four-wheel drive transmission system of a four-wheel drive fuel vehicle includes structures such as a drive shaft 12, in order to make the flat floor structure of this embodiment applicable to four-wheel drive fuel vehicles, a protrusion 14 is provided at the middle position of the flat floor structure, and the protrusion 14 extends along the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0028] like Figures 9-11 As shown, in the four-wheel drive system, the driveshaft 12 is connected to the engine 6 on the left and the transfer case 13 on the right. The fuel tank 4 is located below the seat rail 7 and connected to the rear floor 2. The protrusion 14 protrudes from the flat floor at a certain height, and its longitudinal section is an isosceles trapezoid. By setting the protrusion 14, a hollow channel is formed on the lower side of the flat floor, through which the driveshaft 12 passes.

[0029] For hybrid vehicles, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the engine 6 is installed between the two front wheels, and the hybrid battery pack 5 and the fuel tank 4 are arranged sequentially from front to back. The hybrid battery pack 5 is installed on the lower side of the front floor 1, and the fuel tank 4 is installed on the lower side of the rear floor 2. One end of the hybrid battery pack 5 extends along the length of the vehicle body to the slope between the front floor 1 and the rear floor 2, forming a compact arrangement of the hybrid battery pack 5 and the fuel tank 4.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the hybrid battery pack 5 is connected to the underside of the front floor 1 via mounting beams 9. The mounting beams 9 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the center of the flat floor and have a certain distance from the door sill 8. The installation of the hybrid battery pack 5 is achieved by adding mounting beams 9, without the need to redesign the floor structure. Hybrid vehicles need to consider the weight distribution of the engine 6, fuel tank 4, and hybrid battery pack 5. The supporting beams 17 can help optimize the front and rear axle loads and improve vehicle driving stability.

[0031] For both pure electric and gasoline vehicles, there is no need to install the longitudinal beam 9. For hybrid vehicles, the hybrid battery pack 5 can be installed by adding the longitudinal beam 9 at the bottom of the flat floor, thus meeting the universality requirements of the flat floor structure.

[0032] like Figure 12 As shown, for the pure electric vehicle's pure electric battery pack 3, the pure electric battery pack 3 is connected to the sill 8, and the connection point between the pure electric battery pack 3 and the sill 8 is located on the bottom surface of the sill 8. For the hybrid battery pack 5, both ends of the hybrid battery pack 5 are connected to the bottom of the mounting longitudinal beam 9 by bolts, and the bolt connection point is located in the middle of the mounting longitudinal beam 9. Therefore, the flat floor structure of this embodiment can accommodate both BEV and hybrid powertrains, effectively improving vehicle production flexibility and versatility.

[0033] Compared to traditional SUV body floors, the flat floor in this embodiment allows for the extension of second-row long sliding rails (seat rails 7) and a completely flat carpet surface. To accommodate the long sliding rails, the rear floor 2 main body utilizes a high-strength frame, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, effectively distributing the various stresses borne by the seat rails 7 during operation. Figure 13 As shown, a front support beam 15 and a rear support beam 16 are provided on the upper side of the rear floor 2, and support longitudinal beams 17 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rear floor 2. The front support beam 15, the rear support beam 16 and the support longitudinal beams 17 on both sides provide long slide rail installation space.

[0034] The spacing between the front support beam 15 and the rear support beam 16 provides sufficient installation length for the second row of slide rails and sufficient forward and backward sliding space for the seats.

[0035] The significant height difference between the front and rear floors of traditional SUVs makes it difficult to lay carpets evenly. Figure 14 As shown, the flat floor structure in this embodiment reduces the height difference between the front and rear floors 2, allowing the carpet 18 to be laid flat on the upper side of the vehicle floor, laying the foundation for providing a comfortable riding environment.

[0036] This embodiment achieves compatibility with multiple vehicle models through a single vehicle floor and door sill 8. For hybrid vehicles, a separate mounting beam 9 for the hybrid battery pack 5 is added; for gasoline and pure electric vehicles, the aforementioned mounting beam 9 is omitted. This effectively improves vehicle production flexibility and versatility, and reduces manufacturing costs. This embodiment provides different layout schemes for different vehicle models, resulting in a reasonable and compact distribution structure for the vehicle floor.

[0037] Example 2: This embodiment provides a car equipped with the flat-floor body structure described in Embodiment 1. The car in this embodiment is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a gasoline vehicle.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
