Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle floor, and specifically to a vehicle floor assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The battery pack box is usually arranged under the vehicle floor, and the battery pack box cover is connected to the vehicle floor. This design occupies a large Z-direction dimension and the height of the passenger compartment is compressed.

[0003] In order to reduce the size occupied in the Z direction, there is a technical solution in the prior art to reuse the battery cover and the car floor. For example, in the car body disclosed in CN114940214A, not only the floor is used as the battery cover, but the door sills are also used as side baffles of the battery to participate in the structural construction of the car body.

[0004] Since the threshold in this solution serves as a battery baffle and participates in the composition of the battery box, and the battery pack box is not installed on the vehicle body until after the vehicle body is painted, this requires additional tooling when the vehicle body needs to pass the painting line. The tooling needs to connect the front and rear parts of the vehicle body through a structure that temporarily replaces the threshold beam in order to achieve overall painting of the vehicle body, which will result in a significant increase in painting costs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a vehicle floor assembly and a vehicle, which can reduce the Z-direction dimensional occupancy without modifying the production line, further improve the utilization of the Y-direction space, and at the same time increase the strength of the vehicle body, thereby eliminating the floor reinforcement and making the floor further flat.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is:

[0007] In one aspect, the present application provides a vehicle floor assembly, comprising:

[0008] The front floor as the upper cover of the battery;

[0009] threshold beams arranged on both sides of the front floor respectively;

[0010] The sill beam includes an upper sill section for connecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle body and a lower sill section serving as a battery baffle, the upper sill section and the lower sill section are connected, and the front floor is assembled on the lower sill section.

[0011] Preferably, a seat mounting cross beam is connected to a surface of the front floor on one side facing the seat.

[0012] Preferably, a battery pack cross beam is connected to the surface of the front floor facing the battery cells.

[0013] Preferably, a battery coolant channel is provided on a surface of the front floor facing the battery cells.

[0014] Preferably, the front floor adopts a three-layer structure design, wherein the density of the middle layer is above 1.1 Kg / cm³, the bending strength is above 310 MPa, the specific strength is above 0.260, and the dimensional stability is below PPM 25.

[0015] Preferably, the other two layers of the front floor are aluminum alloy plates.

[0016] Preferably, the upper threshold section and the lower threshold section are screwed and fixed.

[0017] Preferably, the vehicle floor assembly further includes:

[0018] A side beam arranged at the front side of the floor and connected thereto;

[0019] A rear floor panel is arranged at the rear side of the floor panel and connected thereto.

[0020] Preferably, both sides of the front floor are respectively placed on one of the lower threshold sections, and are connected and fixed to the lower threshold section by FDS hot melt drilling technology;

[0021] The front floor is connected and fixed with the cabin side beam and the rear floor by FDS hot melt drilling process.

[0022] On the other hand, the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned vehicle floor assembly.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0024] After the front floor and the battery cover are reused, the original front floor structure is cancelled, which can reduce the occupied Z-direction height.

[0025] Since the threshold beam is split into an upper threshold section and a lower threshold section, the lower threshold section is used as a battery baffle, and the original battery baffle can be removed, thereby increasing the Y-direction space for battery arrangement, thereby increasing the vehicle's power, which is beneficial to increasing the vehicle's endurance; and, the upper threshold section is used as a connecting section between the front and rear of the vehicle body, so that the vehicle body can be painted as a whole, without the need to add additional tooling to connect the front and rear of the vehicle body, and without major modifications to the production line, thereby avoiding cost increases. At the same time, the floor, battery, lower panel, and lower threshold are integrated into a structure, and the entire assembly participates in the collision, thereby strengthening the strength of the floor, thereby eliminating some reinforcing beams on the floor, and achieving the purpose of a flat floor and weight reduction of the floor.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle floor assembly is provided, including: a front floor 1 as a battery upper cover plate; door sill beams 2 are arranged on both sides of the front floor 1; wherein the door sill beam 2 includes an upper door sill section 21 for connecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle body and a lower door sill section 22 as a battery baffle, the upper door sill section 21 and the lower door sill section 22 are connected, and the front floor 1 is assembled on the lower door sill section 22.

[0038] After the front floor 1 and the battery cover are reused, the original front floor 1 structure is cancelled, which can reduce the Z-height occupation. The space vacated by the original front floor 1 can be used as the passenger compartment space, so the Z-height of the passenger compartment can be increased; the space vacated by the original front floor 1 can also be used as a battery cell layout space, thereby increasing the battery cell power and improving the vehicle's endurance.

[0039] Since the sill beam 2 is split into an upper sill section 21 and a lower sill section 22, the lower sill section 22 is used as a battery baffle, and the original battery baffle can be removed, thereby increasing the Y-direction space for battery arrangement, thereby increasing the battery capacity of the vehicle, which is beneficial to increasing the vehicle's endurance; and, the upper sill section 21 serves as a connecting section between the front and rear of the vehicle body, so that the vehicle body can be painted as a whole, without the need for additional tooling to connect the front and rear of the vehicle body, and without major modifications to the production line, thereby avoiding cost increases.

[0040] By forming the front floor 1 with the cover of the battery pack, that is, there is no need to set up the front floor 1 additionally, on the one hand, the number of parts is reduced, the production cost and the weight of the whole vehicle are reduced, and on the other hand, the height of the battery pack from the ground is greater, the layout space of the battery pack is larger, and the probability of damage to the battery pack can be reduced. In addition, compared with the body with a floor in the related art, the body of the embodiment of the utility model does not need to reserve an assembly gap between the floor and the battery pack, which effectively improves the space utilization rate of the whole vehicle.

[0041] The traditional sheet metal threshold is not easy to be disassembled into two parts. The traditional sheet metal threshold is generally a sheet metal inner and outer threshold, the interior of the threshold is a sheet metal or profile reinforcement structure, or it is an integral extruded threshold. There are also few fully extruded thresholds at present.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the threshold beam is made of aluminum alloy extrusion; based on the extruded threshold, the threshold is divided into an upper threshold section 21 and a lower threshold section 22. After adopting this solution, riveting and gluing are required to ensure the sealing, which puts higher requirements on the sealing and connection methods, and the collision risk needs to be considered.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, a seat mounting crossbeam 11 is connected to a surface of the front floor 1 on one side facing the seat to improve the strength of the front floor 1. A seat mounting point is provided on the seat mounting crossbeam 11 to achieve seat installation.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, a battery pack cross beam 12 is connected to the surface of the front floor 1 facing the battery cell to improve the strength of the front floor 1. After the battery pack cross beam 12, the seat mounting cross beam 11 and the front floor 1 are integrated together, the battery box is also used as a part of the vehicle body, which also has a supplementary effect on the enhancement of the strength of the front floor 1, that is, it can improve the stiffness of the front floor 1, thereby ensuring that the performance of the vehicle body meets the standards. After simulation analysis, the front floor 1 can achieve a bending stiffness of 13000N / mm and a torsional stiffness of 1200KN.m / rad.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, a battery coolant channel is provided on the surface of the front floor 1 facing the battery cell. The front floor 1 serves as a flow channel plate of a water cooling plate, which simplifies the structure of the battery box, reduces the weight, and increases the Z-direction space of the passenger compartment.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the front floor 1 adopts a three-layer structure design, and the three-layer structure is connected and compounded into a whole. Among them, the density of the middle layer 102 is above 1.1Kg / cm³, the bending strength is above 310Mpa, the specific strength is above 0.260, and the dimensional stability is below PPM25. The middle layer 102 is made of a special hard foam material, for example: it is made by laminating and thermally curing after the reinforcing material is impregnated with a mixed liquid, wherein the mixed liquid is proportioned by weight as follows: 125 parts of epoxy resin, 35.0-80.0 parts of solvent, 2.5-35 parts of curing agent, 0.01-0.50 parts of accelerator, 0.5-5 parts of coupling agent, 0.05-0.1 parts of surfactant, 5-50 parts of hollow glass microspheres; the reinforcing material is electronic grade glass fiber cloth.

[0047] Relying on the special properties of the middle layer 102, the design of related reinforcing beams on the front floor 1 can be reduced, and these reinforcing beam designs can further reduce the space occupied by the front floor 1 in the Z direction; Figure 3 It can be seen that, except for the battery pack cross beam 12 and the seat installation cross beam 11, no other reinforcing beams are arranged on the front floor 1, and the two original reinforcing longitudinal beams on the front floor 1 and the one original seat reinforcing cross beam are cancelled.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the other two layers of the front floor 1 (i.e. Figure 2 The upper layer 101 and the lower layer 103 in the front floor 1 can be made of aluminum alloy, which reduces the weight of the front floor 1 itself and meets the lightweight requirement of the front floor 1 of the vehicle body.

[0049] After the inner and outer layers of the front floor 1 are made of aluminum alloy and the middle layer 102 is made of the aforementioned hard foam material, the strength of the front floor 1 structure itself is improved and the weight of the front floor 1 is reduced, that is, the front floor 1 achieves the dual effects of weight reduction and performance.

[0050] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments of the present application, the upper threshold section 21 includes: an upper threshold section body 211 and a first mounting boss 212 protrudingly arranged on a side wall thereof facing the lower threshold section 22 and extending along its length direction; the lower threshold section 22 includes: a lower threshold section body 221 and a second mounting boss 222 protrudingly arranged on an outer side wall thereof and extending along its length direction; when the upper threshold section 21 and the lower threshold section 22 are assembled, the upper threshold section body 211 is mounted on the lower threshold section body 221, the first mounting boss 212 is mounted on the first mounting boss 222, and the first mounting boss 212 and the second mounting boss 222 are fixed by screwing.

[0051] from Figure 5 It can also be seen that the inner side wall of the lower sill section body 221 is a flat installation surface, and the side walls of the front floor 1 and the inner side wall of the lower sill section body 221 are fixed together by FDS hot melt drilling technology and with sealant.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle floor assembly further includes: a cabin side beam 3 arranged at the front side of the front floor 1 and connected thereto; and a rear floor 4 arranged at the rear side of the front floor 1 and connected thereto. The connection between the cabin side beam, the rear floor 4 and the front floor 1 can be realized in an existing manner, for example, the front floor 1 is connected to the cabin side beam and the rear floor 4 by using an FDS hot melt drilling process and a sealant, thereby ensuring good air tightness while ensuring connection strength.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the battery lower panel 5 is arranged below the lower sill section 22 and is fixedly connected to the lower sill section 22 by riveting or welding. The upper sill section 21 connects the front and rear of the vehicle body together, thereby achieving the overall painting of the vehicle body; and the front floor 1, the lower sill section 22, the battery cell, and the battery lower panel 5 are connected to form a battery box, which is then assembled as a whole between the upper sill section 21, the cabin side beam 3 and the rear floor 4 of the vehicle.

[0054] Since the threshold beam 2 and the battery box are separated into upper and lower parts, the battery box and the threshold beam 2 are integrated, ensuring that the threshold beam 2 and the battery baffle are two-in-one without modifying the existing production line, increasing the battery layout space and reducing the weight at the same time. Since the battery box participates in the construction of the threshold beam 2, the side impact strength of the front floor 1 is further increased, contributing to the elimination of the floor reinforcement, and promoting the flatness of the front floor 1.

[0055] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned vehicle floor assembly.
