Specifically, it may be desirable to paint the interior cavities of such a car body, for example, through electrocoating (also known as electrophoretic coating). For this purpose, traditional car body components may include channels through the surface to allow paint to flow into and out of the cavities. These channels can then be sealed as a means of corrosion protection and noise reduction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to improve a body component for a vehicle, wherein the body component includes an emission device.

[0006] This problem is at least partially solved or mitigated by the subject matter of this disclosure.

[0007] According to a first aspect, a body component for a vehicle is provided. The body component includes an emission device. The emission device includes at least one opening formed as a plastic deformation opening in the body component. The emission device also includes a sealing material for sealing the at least one opening.

[0011] Alternatively or additionally, body components may include or may be an assembly of multiple body sub-components.

[0012] Alternatively or additionally, a portion of a body component, including at least one opening, is made of sheet metal.

[0013] This type of metal sheet can specifically allow for plastic deformation to create at least one opening.

[0014] At least one opening may be or include a rectangular, trapezoidal, slotted, or elongated portion.

[0015] This shape can particularly allow for providing at least one opening with a large cross-sectional area for discharge, while said at least one opening can be sealed with a sprayable sealant.

[0016] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one opening may include at least one rounded end and / or at least one smoothly curved end extending from at least one edge of the at least one opening to the surface of the body component.

[0018] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one opening may be an open end of a channel formed by a piercing hole or a louver hole.

[0019] Plastic deformation refers to the process of permanently deforming (i.e. changing shape) a material by applying force to it.

[0020] This plastic deformation creates a deformable surface of sprayable and / or extrudable material for sealing materials to travel along, which can provide improved sealing, particularly for the at least one opening.

[0021] This plastic deformation process can particularly prevent the generation of scrap or waste by removing (i.e., mechanically separating) a portion of the body component when forming the at least one opening.

[0022] This plastic deformation process can alternatively or additionally simplify the manufacturing process for forming the at least one opening.

[0023] The plastic deformation process can reduce the thickness of at least one edge of the at least one opening relative to the surface thickness of the body part.

[0024] Sealing materials can also be called sealants.

[0025] The sealing material is formed using sprayable and / or extrudable materials.

[0026] The viscosity of this sprayable and / or extrudable material can be selected such that the sealing material seals the at least one opening.

[0027] When such a sprayable and / or extrudable material is sprayed and / or extruded onto the at least one opening, the resulting sealing material may include or may be a plate.

[0040] The surface may be a portion of a vehicle body component surrounding the at least one opening.

[0041] Non-orthogonal discharge axes can specifically provide a channel for discharging at least one substance and / or particles, while allowing sprayable and / or extrudable sealing materials to effectively form a seal as they flow through such non-orthogonal axes.

[0059] The width of the at least one opening may be the height of the raised edge relative to the surface of the body component, that is, the distance by which the raised portion of at least one edge of the at least one opening rises above the surface of the body component.

[0060] This width dimension has been found to be particularly advantageous for sealing the at least one opening with commercially available sprayable and / or extrudable materials.

[0061] According to one example, the total surface area of ​​the at least one opening is 50 mm. 2 and 120mm 2 between.

[0064] The vehicle body component according to the above example can advantageously improve the emission of at least one substance and / or particulate matter through the at least one opening, particularly by increasing the total surface area of ​​the at least one opening.

[0065] Alternatively or additionally, the body components according to the above examples can advantageously regulate the total flow rate through the at least one opening and avoid undesirable emission effects, particularly by limiting the total surface area of ​​the at least one opening.

[0120] Figure 7 Show Figure 5 Cross-sectional view of the puncture hole.

[0121] Figure 8 An example method according to this disclosure is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0122] The accompanying drawings are merely schematic representations and are intended to illustrate this disclosure only. In principle, identical or equivalent elements have the same reference numerals.

[0123] Figure 1 A perspective view of the body component 100 for the vehicle 120 is shown.

[0124] The body component 100 forms the main frame of the vehicle 120 during assembly.

[0125] The body component 100 includes a front side beam 110 arranged above the wheel housing.

[0126] The following is for reference. Figure 2 Further details on the front side beam 110.

[0127] The front beam 110 includes two separate cavities, each of which is covered by a first metal plate 221 and a second metal plate 222.

[0128] The first metal plate 221 includes a first emission device 231, and the second metal plate 222 includes a second emission device 232.

[0129] The first emission device 231 includes adjacent first channels 241 and second channels 242 passing through the first metal plate 221, and the second emission device 232 includes two adjacent third channels 243 and fourth channels 244 passing through the second metal plate 222.

[0130] By plastically deforming the corresponding metal plates 221 and 222 toward the corresponding cavities to form the first to fourth channels 241, 242, 243 and 244, a passage is formed between the inside and outside of the cavity.

[0131] The first to fourth channels 241, 242, 243 and 244 include pressing or raising the edges, depending on the orientation, which are lowered relative to the surfaces of the corresponding first metal plate 221 and second metal plate 222.

[0132] For electrocoating, the coating passes through channels 241, 242, 243 and 244 and reaches the interior of the first and second cavities.

[0133] After the coating is applied, any remaining paint in the cavity is discharged through the first to fourth channels 241, 242, 243 and 244.

[0134] Then, using, as Figure 3 The sealing material shown seals the first to fourth channels 241, 242, 243 and 244.

[0135] Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 An enlarged view of the front side beam 110 shown, in which it is sealed with sealants 311 and 312. Figure 2 Channels 241, 242, 243, and 244 are shown.

[0136] The first channel 241 and the second channel 242 are sealed with a first sealant 311, and the third channel 243 and the fourth channel 244 are sealed with a second sealant 312.

[0137] A first sealant 311 and a second sealant 312 are formed by spraying a sprayable sealant onto the respective first metal plate 221 and second metal plate 222.

[0138] The sprayable sealant is guided into the corresponding channels 241, 242, 243 and 244.

[0139] However, because channels 241, 242, 243 and 244 plastically deform without removing any part of the first metal plate 221 and the second metal plate 222, thereby forming a continuous and smooth transition from the surface of the first metal plate 221 to the first channel 241 and the second channel 242, and similarly forming a continuous and smooth transition from the surface of the second metal plate 222 to the third and fourth channels, the sealing material cures before flowing out from the opening with the pressure edge.

[0140] Therefore, sealants 311 and 312 seal the openings of discharge devices 231 and 232.

[0141] When the height of the opening (i.e., the distance between the surface of the metal plate and the pressure edge or raised edge) is between 0.2 mm and 3 mm, commercial sealants are observed to effectively seal the opening.

[0142] The resulting sealants 311 and 312 are single-layered, or consist of multiple layers when sprayed layer by layer, and the composition of sealants 311 and 312 is singular throughout sealants 311 and 312.

[0143] refer to Figure 4 A further detailed description is provided of an embodiment of the present disclosure in which a plastically deformable opening is formed in a metal plate.

[0144] Figure 4 A cross-sectional view is shown along the dashed line 250 passing through the middle of the fourth channel 244 during the formation of the opening.

[0145] First, a slit is cut in a plate including surface 410, the plate having a deformed portion in an initial state 430.

[0146] Secondly, the controlled force (i.e., in the case of) is applied using a press 420. Figure 4 The deformation is applied to the plate in the direction shown (D1).

[0147] The deformed portion extends from the edge of the slit in the opposite direction to the cut created by the slit.

[0148] The applied force exceeds the plate's yield strength but remains below the fracture threshold, so that the deformed portion of the plate deforms while avoiding fracture around the deformed edge.

[0149] Third, the controlled punching force causes the deformable part of the plate to undergo plastic deformation, thereby creating an opening 440 for plastic deformation.

[0150] The deformed part has shifted from the initial position 430 to the raised position 443, as shown. Figure 4 As indicated by arrow 450 in the diagram.

[0151] The deformed portion rises relative to the surrounding surface 410 from the raised boundary 441 surrounding the raised portion.

[0152] The opening 440 for plastic deformation includes a raised edge 442 that rises or falls below the surface 410 depending on the orientation.

[0153] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 An exemplary puncture hole formed according to one embodiment is described in further detail.

[0154] Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The front view, top view, and cross-sectional view of the puncture hole are shown respectively.

[0155] refer to Figure 5 It shows a front view of a puncture hole, which includes a raised edge caused by the force applied to the metal sheet during plastic deformation, the raised edge having a thickness narrower than the thickness of the metal sheet.

[0156] The raised edge comprises a smooth bend caused by a plastic deformation process and connects to both ends of the metal plate.

[0157] Raising the edge creates a slot opening with a defined slot height (or, as referred to herein, width and slot length).

[0158] The two-dimensional region defining the surface of the slot opening is observed from the front viewpoint.

[0159] Viewed from the front, the dashed line passes through the center of the puncture hole (which indicates the cross-sectional line).

[0160] The emission axis is as follows Figure 5 The vector shown is the one that comes out of the page.

[0161] Specifically, the emission axis is as follows: Figure 5 The normal to the surface covering the opening, as seen from the front view, is located at a point on the tangential plane of the metal plate surface.

[0162] refer to Figure 6 The size of the puncture hole is further defined by the depth of the slot, which indicates the distance from the slot opening to the inner surface of the puncture hole that follows the tangent to the surface of the metal plate surrounding the puncture hole.

[0163] When there are multiple puncture holes, the distance between two puncture holes is defined by the groove-to-groove distance (which indicates the distance from one groove opening to another groove opening that follows the tangent to the surface of the metal plate surrounding the puncture hole).

[0164] Figure 7 It shows along Figure 5 The cross-sectional view of the dashed line 540.

[0165] The puncture hole allows the paint to flow in the first and / or second direction.

[0166] Depending on the orientation of the puncture hole, the first direction 711 can be the discharge direction, or the second direction 712 can be the discharge direction.

[0167] The flow along the first direction 711 allows the paint to reach the surface 720, and the opening is believed to be formed by raising the edge relative to the surface 720.

[0168] Figure 8 A method for forming an emission device in a vehicle body component 100 is shown.

[0169] This method begins at 801.

[0170] At 810, a plastically deformable opening is formed in the body component 100 as at least one opening.

[0171] Forming a plastically deformable opening in the body component 100 as at least one opening includes cutting at least one slit in the surface of the body component 100.

[0172] Forming a plastically deformable opening in the body component 100 as at least one opening also includes applying pressure to a surface extending from at least one slit to raise at least a portion of the edge of the at least one slit above the surface of the body component 100.

[0173] The above references Figure 4 This plastic deformation process is described in detail.

[0174] At point 820, the at least one opening is sealed with a sealing material.

[0175] After at least one substance and / or particles are discharged at least partially through the at least one opening, the at least one opening is sealed with a sealing material.

[0176] Additionally or alternatively, the sealant is sprayable and / or extrudable.

[0177] Additionally or alternatively, sealing the at least one opening with a sealant includes spraying and / or extruding the sealant onto the at least one opening.

[0178] The method ends at 802.

[0179] As used herein, the phrase “at least one” in relation to a list of one or more entities should be understood to mean at least one entity selected from any one or more entities in the entity list, but not necessarily at least one of each entity specifically listed in the entity list, and does not exclude any combination of entities in the entity list. This definition also allows for the optional presence of entities other than those specifically identified in the entity list referred to by the phrase “at least one,” whether related to or unrelated to those specifically identified entities. Thus, as a non-limiting example, “at least one of A and B” (or equivalently, “at least one of A or B”, or equivalently, “at least one of A and / or B”) could in one example mean at least one (optionally including more than one) A, without B (and optionally including entities other than B); in another example, at least one (optionally including more than one) B, without A (and optionally including entities other than A); and in yet another example, at least one (optionally including more than one) A and at least one (optionally including more than one) B (and optionally including other entities). In other words, the phrases “at least one,” “one or more,” and “and / or” are open-ended expressions that are both connected and separate in operation. For example, each of the expressions “at least one of A, B, and C,” “at least one of A, B, or C,” “one or more of A, B, and C,” “one or more of A, B, or C,” and “A, B, and / or C” can mean a single A, a single B, a single C, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, A, B, and C together, and optionally, any of the above combined with at least one other entity.

In the claims, the word "comprising" does not exclude other elements or steps, and the indefinite articles "a" or "an" do not exclude a plurality.
