DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer and more specific, the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 The utility model provides a bus body structure, including a front enclosure frame 1, a rear enclosure frame 2, a left enclosure panel 3, a right enclosure panel 4, a top cover 5 and a bottom plate (not shown in the drawings). The left enclosure panel 3, the right enclosure panel 4, the top cover 5 and the bottom plate are all carbon fiber composite plates; the carbon fiber composite plate (hereinafter the same) can be a composite plate mixed with glass fiber and carbon fiber.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 As shown, further, the bus body structure also includes a front wall skin 6, a rear wall upper skin 7 and a rear wall headlight skin 8. The front wall skin 6, the rear wall upper skin 7 and the rear wall headlight skin 8 are all carbon fiber composite panels. The front wall skin 6 is fixed to the outside of the front wall frame 1; the rear wall upper skin 7 and the rear wall headlight skin 8 are both fixed to the outside of the rear wall frame 2, and the rear wall headlight skin 8 is located on both sides of the lower part of the rear wall upper skin 7.
[0045] The utility model replaces the steel skin fixed on the front enclosure frame 1 and the rear enclosure frame 2 with a carbon fiber composite plate. Compared with using carbon fiber composite materials only in the left enclosure panel 3, the right enclosure panel 4 and the top cover 5, the body of the passenger car or bus can be further reduced in weight. While not affecting the strength and rigidity of the body, the lightweight degree of the entire vehicle can be further improved.
[0046] Specifically, the rear enclosure upper skin 7 and the rear enclosure headlight skin 8 may be two independently formed panels, or may be a whole panel formed in one piece.
[0047] like Fig.10 As shown, specifically, a first opening 71 cooperating with the rear glass window of the bus is provided on the rear enclosure upper skin 7 .
[0048] like Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, further, the bus body structure also includes a rear hatch 9 and a rear hatch support frame 10.
[0049] The rear hatch door 9 is located below the rear upper skin 7 and between the rear headlight skin 8; the rear hatch door support frame 10 is fixed to the back of the rear hatch door 9, and the rear hatch door support frame 10 is used to support the rear hatch door 9 so that the rear hatch door 9 can withstand a strong impact. When the rear of the bus is hit hard, the degree of damage to the engine, gearbox and other components at the rear of the bus can be reduced.
[0050] like Fig.10 As shown, further, the rear hatch door support frame 10 is rotatably connected to the rear enclosure frame 2 so that the rear hatch door 9 can be opened and closed together with the rear hatch door support frame 10 .
[0051] Furthermore, the rear hatch 9 is made of a carbon fiber composite plate or an aluminum alloy plate with a smaller specific gravity than a steel plate, which enables the rear hatch 9 to withstand a strong impact force while further reducing the weight of the bus body.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the bus body structure further includes a rear bumper skin 11. The rear bumper skin 11 is fixed to the outer side of the rear frame 2 and is located below the rear hatch 9.
[0053] The rear bumper skin 11 is a carbon fiber composite plate or an aluminum alloy plate, which can not only protect the rear part of the bus body from strong impact force, but also further reduce the weight of the bus body.
[0054] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, further, the two sides of the top cover 5 are respectively connected to the upper part of the left side panel 3 and the upper part of the right side panel 4 through a plurality of first bolts 12; the front panel frame 1 is respectively connected to the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the top cover 5 through a plurality of second bolts 13; the rear panel frame 2 is respectively connected to the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the top cover 5 through a plurality of third bolts 14.
[0055] The utility model uses bolts to connect the top cover 5, the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4, the front panel frame 1 and the rear panel frame 2. No air pollution is generated during the construction process, and the construction environment can be greatly improved. At the same time, the bolt connection method will not cause deformation of the panels, the top cover 5 and the skin, and the vehicle body will be smoother and more beautiful. When a single structural component is damaged, the vehicle body can be repaired by removing the bolts and replacing new structural components, and the overall strength of the vehicle body can be quickly restored.
[0056] In addition, compared with the welding process, the bolt connection method has no welding defects, has no effect on the strength of the car body, and will not cause water leakage in the car due to air holes in the welding process.
[0057] In order to further improve the corrosion resistance and sealing of the bus body, sealant can be applied to the joints between the top cover 5 and the left side panel 3 and the right side panel 4, the joints between the front panel frame 1 and the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the top cover 5, and the joints between the rear panel frame 2 and the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the top cover 5.
[0058] Furthermore, the front enclosure skin 6 is bonded to the outer side of the front enclosure frame 1 by structural adhesive; the rear enclosure upper skin 7, the rear enclosure headlight skin 8 and the rear enclosure bumper skin 11 are all bonded to the outer side of the rear enclosure frame 2 by structural adhesive; the rear hatch 9 is bonded to the outer side of the rear hatch 9 bracket by structural adhesive.
[0059] The joints between the front panel skin 6 and other vehicle body structures (such as the top cover 5, the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the bottom plate) are all coated with sealant. Similarly, the joints between the rear panel upper panel 7, the rear headlight panel 8 and the rear bumper panel 11 and other vehicle body structures (such as the top cover 5, the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the bottom plate) are also coated with sealant, which can further improve the corrosion resistance and sealing of the bus body.
[0060] like Figure 8 As shown, further, the left side panel 3, the right side panel 4 and the top cover 5 are filled with PVC (foam) boards 17, and the PVC boards can prevent the noise and vibration generated during the driving of the vehicle from propagating into the interior of the vehicle body. Compared with the bus body with a traditional structure, the NVH performance (noise, vibration and acoustic roughness) can be improved.
[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown; further, the bus body structure also includes a side wall frame 15 and a side wall skin 16.
[0062] The side enclosure frame 15 is bonded to the outside of the left enclosure panel 3 and the right enclosure panel 4 by structural adhesive, and is provided for the purpose of installing vehicle body exterior decoration (such as glass and side enclosure skin 16). The side enclosure skin 16 is bonded to the outside of the side enclosure frame 15 by structural adhesive, and can play the role of vehicle body decoration.
[0063] Furthermore, the side enclosure frame 15 is an aluminum alloy frame, which helps reduce the weight of the vehicle body compared to a steel frame, while not affecting the bonding of the side enclosure skin 16. The side enclosure skin 16 is bonded to the aluminum alloy frame in blocks, which is simple and easy to construct, does not require other equipment to assist in operation, and is more convenient for later repair of the skin.
[0064] Furthermore, the side enclosure skin 16 is an aluminum alloy plate or a PVC plate. Aluminum alloy plates and PVC plates are not easy to rust, and the side enclosure skin 16 can be used for a long time even if it is exposed to rain. In addition, compared with steel skins, aluminum alloy plates and PVC plates have a smaller specific gravity. When aluminum alloy plates and PVC plates are used as skins, they can reduce weight by 25%-35% (compared to steel skins of the same size).
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the upper parts of the left side panel 3 and the right side panel 4 are both provided with a plurality of glass installation openings 31, and the glass can be bonded to the left side panel 3 and the right side panel 4 by means of structural adhesive; the side panel skin 16 located on the outer side of the upper part of the side panel frame 15 has a second opening for the glass to pass through (the accompanying drawing only shows the side panel skin 16 located on the outer side of the lower part of the side panel frame 15).
[0066] The utility model also provides a public bus with excellent lightness and high strength, comprising the above-mentioned bus body structure.
[0067] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For ordinary technicians in this field, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
