Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of truck compartments, in particular to an assembled lightweight aluminum alloy compartment. Background Art

[0002] Truck compartments are various types of compartments installed on the truck frame and used to load and transport goods. At present, most compartments are welded and formed using steel plates and steel profiles. A slight scratch will cause the steel exposed to the air to corrode and rust, and the steel compartment itself has a large weight. In the face of the market demand for lightweight vehicles, compartments that account for a large proportion of the vehicle mass are the best choice to achieve lightweighting of the entire vehicle.

[0003] At present, the truck compartment uses steel corrugated plate as the panel and steel channel steel as the keel for welding to make the compartment wall. However, there are many shortcomings in the existing technology. For example, the welding structure makes the product welded into a whole, which is not conducive to maintenance, and it is impossible to disassemble and replace parts. The product manufacturing process is irreversible; the high temperature generated during welding may reduce the metal properties near the weld and reduce the product's bearing capacity; welding is dangerous, and the welding quality depends on the operator's proficiency; the product after welding is too large in overall size and is not easy to transport; the steel structure itself is too heavy, resulting in high vehicle weight and high energy consumption; the steel has poor corrosion resistance, and a slight scratch will cause the steel exposed to the air to oxidize and rust, or even corrode holes, affecting the service life of the compartment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an assembled lightweight aluminum alloy carriage is mainly used in the transportation industry, comprising a wall panel assembly (1), a ceiling assembly (2), a rear door assembly (3), a side door assembly (4) and a floor assembly (5); each assembly is screwed or riveted to facilitate loading and unloading or later maintenance, and all components can be disassembled into sheets to facilitate packaging and delivery.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the wall panel assembly (1) comprises a right side wall (6), a front wall (8), a rear wall (9), a left side wall (10), and a wall panel connecting plate (7); the upper side beams (12) of the right side wall (6), the front wall (8), the rear wall (9), and the left side wall (10) are connected to the ceiling assembly (2), and the lower side beams (13) are connected to the bottom plate assembly (5); the columns (11) of the right side wall (6) and the left side wall (10) are connected to the front wall (8); the columns (11) of the rear wall (9) are connected to the right side wall (6) and the left side wall (10); the right side wall (6), the front wall (8), the rear wall (9), and the left side wall (10) are connected via the columns (11) and then connected via the wall panel connecting plate (7).

[0043] like Figure 5As shown, the wallboard assembly (1) uses variable-wall-thickness plates, while traditional carriage wallboards are all of equal-wall-thickness plates. This not only increases the overall mass but also causes waste of material properties. According to the force-bearing situation of the wallboard, the lower wall thickness of the wallboards (14) of the right wall (6), front wall (8), and left wall (10) is set to 1.5 mm - 2 mm, the height is 300 - 500 mm, the middle wall thickness is set to 1.2 mm - 1.5 mm, the height is 700 mm - 800 mm, the upper wall thickness is set to 0.8 mm - 1.5 mm, the height is 700 mm - 1000 mm, and the height of the transition zone is all 50 mm - 100 mm. Through this three-section setting, both the performance of the carriage is ensured and the overall weight is effectively reduced.

[0044] As Figure 6 shown, traditional carriage wallboards are designed with reinforcing ribs on the inner side to ensure the strength of the wallboards. Both ends of the wallboard (14) are bent into a "Ji" shape and a "Kou" shape respectively. It is convenient for assembly and can be riveted on three sides, with a spacing of 200 mm - 300 mm; at the same time, there is no need to design horizontal or vertical reinforcing ribs for the wallboard, further reducing the overall weight.

[0045] As Fig. 9 shown, the wallboard (14) is connected to the column (11), upper side beam (12), and lower side beam (13) by rivets, with a spacing of 200 mm - 300 mm evenly distributed; as Fig.10 shown, the connection part between the column (11) and the wallboard (14) is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside.

[0046] As Figure 7 、 8 shown, the column (11), upper and lower side beams are all extruded profiles, and the cross-section of the profiles is as shown in the figure.

[0047] As Fig.11 shown, the ceiling assembly (2) is of an arched structure with a high middle and low surroundings as a whole,

[0048] The ceiling assembly (2) is formed by riveting the front pressure strip (15), side pressure strip (17), rear pressure strip (20) with the skin (18) and the upper side beam (12). The keel (16) and the square tube support (19) are vertically screwed to the wall upper side beam (12) through connecting plates. The skin (18) is adhesively bonded between the keel (16) and the square tube support (19). Both the keel (16) and the square tube support (19) are profiles. The keel profile is in a "Ji" shape, with a spacing of 300 mm - 600 mm evenly distributed. The square tube support (19) and the keel (16) are both ceiling supports, and a square tube support is set at a distance of 300 mm - 500 mm from the rear door. This structure can not only reduce the weight of the top accumulation but also strengthen the overall structure.

[0049] As Fig.12As shown, the rear door assembly (3) comprises a hinge assembly (21), a door panel (22), a door lock assembly (23), a door frame assembly (24) and a sealing member; the rear door assembly (3) is connected to a door seat on a rear wall (9) column (11) via the hinge assembly (21); the door lock assembly (23) is installed on the mounting holes of the upper and lower cross beams of the rear wall (9); and the rear door assembly (3) is a mirror-symmetrical double door.

[0050] like Fig.13 As shown, the side door assembly (4) is composed of the same as the rear door assembly (3), and the side door assembly (4) is a single door.

[0051] like Fig.14 , 15 As shown in 16, the floor assembly (5) includes a floor connecting plate (25), a longitudinal beam connecting plate (26), a longitudinal beam reinforcement plate (27), a longitudinal beam (28), a floor (29), and a front reinforcement beam (30). The floor assembly (5) is screwed to the lower side beam (13) through the floor connecting plate (25). The floor (29) is a multi-cavity profile. After the floor (29) is assembled along the slot, it is screwed to the longitudinal beam (28) through the longitudinal beam connecting plate (26). The short side of the floor (29) is riveted to the lower side beam (13). The front reinforcement beam (30) is connected to the lower side beam (13) of the front wall (8) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal beam reinforcement plate (27).

[0052] like Fig.16 As shown, compared with the traditional design of laying crossbeams under steel plates as reinforcement, the profile floor is lighter and stronger. It can not only effectively bear the weight of the cargo, but also because the floor 29 is riveted to the lower side beam 13 in the wall panel assembly, and the floor connecting plate 25 is screwed to the lower side beam 13, the bottom plate as a whole has more connection points with the wall, which plays a greater role in strengthening the overall structure of the car.

[0053] Finite element analysis was performed on an assembled lightweight aluminum alloy car body of the present embodiment, and the results showed that the assembled lightweight aluminum alloy car body met the strength (maximum stress not greater than 230 MPa) and stiffness requirements (residual deformation not greater than 12 mm).

[0054] A simulation scheme for the design of a 3-ton assembled lightweight aluminum alloy carriage was conducted to verify its strength and stiffness performance. Strength analysis, stiffness analysis, and snow load analysis were determined. Among them, the strength analysis includes vertical impact conditions, steering conditions, braking conditions, etc. The stiffness analysis includes wall panel stiffness, rear door stiffness, etc. The snow load analysis includes the condition of 600mm snow thickness on the top plate.

[0055] 1. In the strength analysis, facing the front of the car, the right-hand rule is used to determine the overall coordinates of the car, with the rear of the car as the positive X direction, the left side of the car as the positive Y direction, and the top of the car as the positive Z direction. The loading method is as follows:

[0056] The vertical impact condition is no loading in X direction, no loading in Y direction, and -2.5g loading in Z direction;

[0057] The steering conditions are no load in X direction, 0.5g load in Y direction, and -1g load in Z direction;

[0058] The braking conditions are -1g loading in X direction, no loading in Y direction, and -1g loading in Z direction.

[0059] The simulation results show that the maximum stress value of the vertical impact condition is 219.29MP, the maximum stress value of the steering condition is 196.74MP, and the maximum stress value of the braking condition is 210.3MP, which meets the strength requirements (maximum stress is not more than 230MPa).

[0060] 2. In the stiffness analysis, 8829N force was applied to the wall panel and rear door respectively for simulation analysis. The conclusions are as follows:

[0061] The residual deformation of the wall panel stiffness analysis is 1.17mm; the residual deformation of the rear door stiffness analysis is 1.54mm. The simulation results meet the stiffness requirements (residual deformation is no more than 12mm).

[0062] 3. In the snow load analysis, a snow thickness load of 600 mm is applied to the top plate. The conclusions are as follows:

[0063] When loaded with 600mm thick snow, the maximum stress of the car body is 212.85MPa, the maximum displacement of the roof is 39.09mm, and no permanent deformation occurs after unloading. The simulation results meet the strength and stiffness requirements.
