[0028] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be more comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0029] In addition, described feature, structure or characteristic can be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical scheme of the present application can be put into practice without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be adopted. In other cases, known methods, devices, realizations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid blurring the various aspects of the application.

[0030] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0031] It should also be noted that the first direction mentioned in this embodiment can be understood as the axial direction of the vehicle body length; the second direction mentioned in this embodiment can be understood as the axial direction of the vehicle body width; and the third direction mentioned in this embodiment can be understood as the axial direction of the vehicle body height.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a seat cross beam connection structure, including a sill beam 1 and a cross beam body 2, the sill beam 1 is fixed to the vehicle body floor along a first direction S1, and the outer surface of the sill beam 1 includes an inner side surface 11 and an upper side surface 12 distributed on opposite sides; the cross beam body 2 is fixed to the vehicle body floor along a second direction S2, and the cross beam body 2 includes an upper beam plate 21 and two side beam plates 22, the two side beam plates 22 are distributed on both sides of the upper beam plate 21 along the first direction S1, and are connected below the upper beam plate 21; wherein the end of the side beam plate 22 abuts against the inner side surface 11 of the sill beam 1 to provide a collision The end of the upper beam plate 21 is bent upward to form a bent portion 211, and the lower end surface of the bent portion 211 on the side close to the sill beam 1 is higher than the upper side surface 12 of the sill beam 1 in the third direction S3. In this way, the sill beam 1 is displaced toward the inside of the vehicle when it is hit by a side collision or a column collision, and the upper side surface 12 of the sill beam 1 can squeeze the lower end surface of the bent portion 211, causing the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22 to be crushed and separated from the area where the bent portion 211 is located, thereby effectively absorbing the collision energy and preventing the cross beam body 2 from warping upward in the third direction S3 in the middle of the vehicle.

[0033] It can be understood that the inner side surface 11 and the upper side surface 12 of the threshold beam 1 are distributed on different sides, which means that the direction of the inner side surface 11 is different from that of the upper side surface 12. In this embodiment, the inner side surface 11 is arranged toward the interior of the vehicle in the second direction S2, and the upper side surface 12 is arranged upward in the third direction S3, that is, the inner side surface 11 and the upper side surface 12 are perpendicular to each other; in other embodiments, the inner side surface 11 and / or the upper side surface 12 can be arranged at a certain angle. It can also be understood that the collision support of the cross beam body 2 to the threshold beam 1 is mainly provided by the side beam plate 22, and the upper beam plate 21 is only used to connect the two side beam plates 22 and install the seat, and only plays a role in transmitting part of the load for the collision support. Therefore, the collision performance of the cross beam body 2 will not be reduced due to the crushing design of the bending portion 211. On the contrary, since the crushing design of the bending portion 211 can absorb the collision energy, it can also reduce the impact damage caused by the side collision.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first flange 212 is formed on one side of the bent portion 211 close to the threshold beam 1 along the second direction S2, and the first flange 212 overlaps and is fixed to the upper side surface 12 of the threshold beam 1. By setting the first flange 212, the upper beam plate 21 can be conveniently connected to the threshold beam 1, and the connection stability between the cross beam body 2 and the threshold beam 1 can be improved. Preferably, the fixed connection between the first flange 212 and the upper side surface 12 of the threshold beam 1 can be achieved by bolt connection, so that the cross beam body 2 and the threshold beam 1 are detachably fixedly connected, which is convenient for subsequent replacement and maintenance.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the bending portion 211 is provided with a drawing protrusion 213 extending along the second direction S2, and the drawing protrusion 213 extends from the side of the bending portion 211 away from the door sill beam 1 to the end of the first flange 212. Through the setting of the drawing protrusion 213, the structural strength of the bending portion 211 and the first flange 212 can be effectively improved, and the deformation and wrinkling of the bending portion 211 and the first flange 212 during daily driving can be reduced.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the side beam plate 22 extends along the first direction S1 to form a second flange 221, and the second flange 221 is arranged to fit the inner side surface 11. The second flange 221 can effectively increase the contact area between the side beam plate 22 and the inner side surface 11 of the door sill beam 1, thereby improving the supporting stability of the cross beam body 2.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second flanges 221 of the two side beam plates 22 are extended in opposite directions in the first direction S1, that is, one of the second flanges 221 extends along one end of the first direction S1, and the other second flange 221 extends along the other end of the first direction S1. In this way, when subjected to a side collision or a column collision, the two second flanges 221 can disperse the force along both ends of the first direction S1, thereby facilitating the crushing and separation of the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22.

[0038] Furthermore, the second flange 221 can be fixedly connected to the inner side surface 11 of the threshold beam 1, and the connection method includes but is not limited to bolt connection or welding, so as to further improve the connection stability between the cross beam body 2 and the threshold beam 1. At the same time, the two second flanges 221 are arranged to extend in opposite directions in the first direction S1, which can also facilitate the connection operation between the second flange 221 and the inner side surface 11.

[0039] It can be understood that the crushing separation of the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22 is mainly based on the height offset design of the bending portion 211 and the upper side surface 12. After the first flange 212 is fixedly connected to the upper side surface 12 and the second flange 221 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface 11, it only improves the connection stability between the crossbeam body 2 and the threshold beam 1. The main load transfer direction of the ends of the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22 is not changed, and it does not affect the crushing separation of the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a wedge-shaped notch 23 is provided at the connection between the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22 near the side of the door sill beam 1. By setting the wedge-shaped notch 23, stress concentration can be generated at the notch, which facilitates the crushing and separation of the upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the seat cross beam connection structure also includes a reinforcement 3, which is arranged on one side of the cross beam body 2 along the first direction S1 and fixed to the vehicle body floor, the first side of the reinforcement 3 is connected to the sill beam 1, and the second side of the reinforcement 3 adjacent to the first side is connected to the cross beam body 2. By setting the reinforcement 3, the contact section between the cross beam body 2 and the sill beam 1 can be increased, thereby improving the structural strength and collision performance of the seat cross beam.

[0042] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcement 3 includes a top plate 31 and a side plate 32, the top plate 31 is bent corresponding to the bending portion 211, and its bending arc is consistent with the bending portion 211; the side of the top plate 31 close to the sill beam 1 overlaps the upper side surface 12 of the sill beam 1, and the side of the top plate 31 close to the beam body 2 overlaps and is fixed to the upper beam plate 21 of the beam body 2; the side plate 32 is surrounded below the top plate 31, the side of the side plate 32 close to the sill beam 1 abuts the inner side surface 11 of the sill beam 1, and the side of the top plate 31 close to the beam body 2 abuts and is fixed to the side beam plate 22 of the beam body 2; wherein, the fixing connection method of the top plate 31 and the upper beam plate 21, and the side plate 32 and the side beam plate 22 includes but is not limited to bolt connection or welding, etc., preferably welding. In this way, load transfer can be effectively achieved and the structural strength of the seat cross beam can be improved. At the same time, the sill beam 1 can be displaced toward the inside of the vehicle when subjected to a side collision or a column collision, and the top plate 31 can also be crushed from the bending area along with the upper beam plate 21, effectively absorbing the collision energy and improving the collision performance of the seat cross beam.

[0043] Furthermore, the side of the top plate 31 close to the sill beam 1 can be fixedly connected to the upper side surface 12 of the sill beam 1, and the side of the side plate 32 close to the sill beam 1 can be fixedly connected to the inner side surface 11 of the sill beam 1. The fixed connection method includes but is not limited to bolt connection or welding, etc., to further improve the connection stability of the reinforcement 3.

[0044] It is understandable that the side edges of the top plate 31 for overlapping the upper side surface 12 and the upper beam plate 21, and the side edges of the side plates 32 for abutting the inner side surface 11 and the side beam plate 22, can also be provided with flanges to increase the contact area with the corresponding side surfaces and beam plates, and facilitate the connection with the corresponding side surfaces and beam plates. It is also understandable that a notch can be provided at the connection between the top plate 31 and the side plates 32 near the side of the door sill beam 1, so that stress concentration occurs at the notch, and the top plate 31 and the side plates 32 are conveniently crushed and separated.

[0045] Preferably, the aforementioned upper beam plate 21 and the side beam plate 22 can be integrally formed using alloy one-piece die-casting technology, so that the cross beam body 2 is formed as a whole, thereby improving the integration and structural strength of the cross beam body 2 and reducing the setting of connecting parts to meet the lightweight requirements; similarly, the aforementioned top plate 31 and the side plate 32 can also be integrally formed using alloy one-piece die-casting technology, so that the reinforcement 3 is formed as a whole to achieve the same purpose.

For other structures and working principles of the seat cross beam connection structure, please refer to the above description of the embodiment of the seat cross beam connection structure.
