[0034] The following will describe the implementation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementations, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed at will, and the component layout may also be more complicated.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 13A vehicle body structure shown includes a cabin side beam, a shotgun and a pillar structure, wherein the upper end of the pillar structure is connected to the front end of the shotgun, and the lower part of the pillar structure is connected to the outer side of the front end of the cabin side beam. The pillar structure is in the shape of a triangular prism, and the inner edge of the cross section of the pillar structure is arranged along the length direction of the cabin side beam.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vehicle has a small offset collision, the triangular prism-shaped column structure can enhance the side slip of the vehicle and improve the small offset collision performance of the vehicle; the column structure is connected between the front end of the cabin side beam and the front end of the shotgun, and can also improve the stiffness and strength of the body structure at the cabin side beam.
[0038] In some embodiments, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, one edge of the cross section of the column structure on the outside is tilted inward from front to back, and the other edge of the cross section of the column structure on the outside is arranged facing forward or tilted outward from front to back. In a specific implementation, the cross section of the column structure is triangular, the inner edge of the triangle is arranged along the length direction of the cabin side beam, the rear edge of the two outer edges of the triangle is tilted inward from front to back, and the front edge of the two outer edges of the triangle is arranged facing forward or tilted outward from front to back. When the column structure is subjected to a rearward collision force, the column structure can transmit the collision force backward and inward, thereby enhancing the side slip of the vehicle.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the lower part of the column structure is a first cavity structure arranged on the outer side of the front end of the cabin side beam, and the first cavity structure has a first cavity 6 inside. The upper part of the column structure is a second cavity structure, and the second cavity structure has a second cavity 7 inside. The lower end of the second cavity structure is connected to the upper end of the first cavity structure, and the upper end of the second cavity structure is connected to the front end of the shotgun. The above scheme uses two cavity structures to form the column structure, which can reduce the weight of the column structure while ensuring the rigidity and strength of the column structure, and also has the characteristics of being easy to implement.

By adopting the above technical solution, the front shock tower 402, the shotgun, the cabin side beam and the column structure are connected to form a stable and closed ring structure, which can further improve the rigidity and strength of the vehicle body structure at the cabin side beam, can reduce the use of reinforcements, and contribute to the lightweight of the vehicle. As a preferred example, the front side of the front shock tower 402 is fixedly connected to the front shock tower connecting portion on the extension portion.

In specific implementation, the front shock absorber tower 402 can be made by integral die casting. When the material of the front shock absorber tower 402 is a lightweight material such as aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy, the front shock absorber tower 402 also has the characteristic of being light in weight.
