[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.

[0031] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 The top cover assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model can provide an installation position and space for installing the radar 200 on the basis of satisfying its own structural strength.

[0032] Combination Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the roof assembly 100 according to the first embodiment of the utility model comprises a roof outer panel 1 and a front cross beam plate 2. The roof outer panel 1 is an external panel constituting a closed surface of the top of the vehicle, which covers the top of the vehicle passenger compartment to provide a shield and protection for the user, and prevent the user from being affected by the weather and the outside world; the front cross beam plate 2 can increase the structural strength of the roof outer panel 1, thereby improving the overall structural reliability of the roof assembly 100.

[0033] Specifically, the top cover outer panel 1 is provided with a downwardly recessed radar installation portion 11, the radar installation portion 11 forms a first installation cavity 111 for installing the radar 200, the front cross beam plate 2 is arranged on the lower side of the top cover outer panel 1, the front cross beam plate 2 is provided with an avoidance hole 21, and the radar installation portion 11 is penetrated by the avoidance hole 21.

[0034] Specifically, the top cover outer panel 1 is recessed downward to form a radar mounting portion 11. This can increase the spatial mode of the top cover outer panel 1, thereby improving the bending and torsional stiffness of the top cover outer panel 1. On the other hand, it can also limit the installation space required for the radar 200 (that is, the first mounting cavity 111), thereby improving the vertical (that is, the up and down direction) space utilization of the vehicle. Moreover, placing the radar 200 or part of the radar 200 in the first mounting cavity 111 can also avoid excessive exposure of the radar 200 to the outside of the vehicle. The radar mounting portion 11 can also play a certain degree of protection in the peripheral direction of the radar 200, thereby improving the safety and working stability of the radar 200.

[0035] Furthermore, the front cross beam plate 2 is connected to the lower side of the top cover outer panel 1, so that the front cross beam plate 2 and the top cover outer panel 1 can increase each other's weight and spatial mode, thereby improving the structural strength and bending and torsional stiffness of the two, and further improving the structural reliability of the top cover assembly 100.

[0036] Furthermore, the front cross beam plate 2 is provided with an avoidance hole 21 for avoiding the radar installation part 11, so that the radar installation part 11 can smoothly pass through the front cross beam plate 2 and extend downward to a certain extent, thereby providing more vertical installation space for the radar 200. In addition, the avoidance hole 21 can also reduce weight, thereby facilitating the lightweight design effect of the vehicle.

[0037] Therefore, by providing the top cover assembly 100 , it can provide an installation position and space for installing the radar 200 while satisfying its own structural strength.

[0038] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the radar installation portion 11 is located at the front side of the roof outer panel 1 , and the radar installation portion 11 is located at the midpoint of the length direction of the roof outer panel 1 .

[0039] Specifically, a radar mounting portion 11 is provided on the front side of the top cover outer panel 1, so that the radar 200 can scan and identify the external environment directly in front of the vehicle, accurately calculate the distance between the vehicle and surrounding objects, thereby constructing a high-precision three-dimensional image of the vehicle's surroundings, thereby improving the vehicle's assisted driving effect.

[0040] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the length direction of the roof outer panel 1, the radar mounting portion 11 is located at the midpoint of the roof outer panel 1, so that the recognition scanning range of the radar 200 in the vehicle width direction can be more uniform, avoiding the risk of restricted driving caused by the recognition scanning range being concentrated on one side and resulting in insufficient scanning range on the other side.

[0041] In addition, the above arrangement can also facilitate the planning and arrangement of the installation position of the radar 200, and can also make the weight of the radar 200 more evenly distributed on the top cover assembly 100, reduce local stress concentration, and can also contribute to modular design (that is, to facilitate signal connection with other functional modules), thereby improving the practicality and rationality of the spatial layout.

[0042] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the direction from front to rear, the distance between the bottom surface of the radar installation portion 11 and the upper surface of the roof outer panel 1 increases first and then decreases.

[0043] Among them, since the radar mounting part 11 is located at the position of the top cover outer panel 1 facing the front windshield window (here the top cover outer panel 1 is inclined toward the front and bottom), in order to not block the radar 200 from transmitting signals directly in front of the vehicle, the distance between the bottom surface of the radar mounting part 11 and the upper surface of the top cover outer panel 1 first increases and then decreases in the direction from front to rear. In this way, a gradually increasing vertical installation and accommodation space can be formed for the radar 200 in the direction from front to rear, thereby improving the spatial accommodation effect of the radar 200 and ensuring the installation stability of the radar 200. It can also make the distance between the rear bottom surface of the radar mounting part 11 and the upper surface of the top cover outer panel 1 gradually decrease, thereby forming a blocking and limiting effect on the rear end of the radar 200, thereby ensuring the normal working reliability and installation stability of the radar 200.

[0044] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4As shown, arc edges 112 are formed on the left and right edges of the radar mounting part 11. With such arrangement, the arc edges 112 can make the force at the connection between the radar mounting part 11 and the main board surface of the top cover outer panel 1 more uniform, thereby avoiding material damage and fracture problems caused by stress concentration here, and further improving the structural stability and durability of the radar mounting part 11.

[0045] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the top cover outer panel 1 is provided with a plurality of radar installation points 113 around the radar installation portion 11. With such an arrangement, a plurality of force transfer paths can be formed between the top cover outer panel 1 and the radar 200, thereby increasing the connection firmness between the radar 200 and the top cover outer panel 1.

[0046] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the front cross beam plate 2 includes a front cross beam upper plate 22 and a front cross beam lower plate 23 . The front cross beam upper plate 22 is arranged on the lower side of the roof outer plate 1 , and the front cross beam upper plate 22 is provided with an avoidance hole 21 . The front cross beam lower plate 23 is arranged on the lower side of the front cross beam upper plate 22 .

[0047] Among them, the front crossbeam upper plate 22 is connected to the upper side of the front crossbeam lower plate 23, and the front crossbeam upper plate 22 is provided with an avoidance hole 21 for avoiding the radar mounting part 11. In this way, the front crossbeam upper plate 22 can increase the structural strength of the top cover outer plate 1, and the radar mounting part 11 can be allowed to pass downward through the front crossbeam upper plate 22, thereby ensuring the vertical space required for installing the radar 200.

[0048] In addition, the front cross beam lower plate 23 and the front cross beam upper plate 22 are connected to each other, so that they can increase each other's weight and spatial mode, thereby improving the structural strength and bending and torsional rigidity of the two, and further improving the structural reliability of the top cover assembly 100.

[0049] Specifically, combined Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the front crossbeam lower plate 23 is connected to the edge of the front crossbeam upper plate 22, the front crossbeam lower plate 23 is recessed downward relative to the front crossbeam upper plate 22, and the front crossbeam lower plate 23 forms a second installation cavity 231, and a part of the radar installation part 11 is located in the second installation cavity 231.

[0050] It can be understood that, as arranged above, on the basis of connecting the front cross beam lower plate 23 with the front cross beam upper plate 22, the front cross beam lower plate 23 can also be made to match the concave outer contour of the radar mounting part 11, avoiding the risk of the front cross beam lower plate 23 interfering with the radar mounting part 11, thereby taking into account the structural reliability and rationality of the spatial layout of the top cover assembly 100.

[0051] Furthermore, combined with Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the front cross beam plate 2 further includes a connecting plate 24, and the connecting plate 24 is respectively connected to the left and right edges of the front cross beam lower plate 23. That is, in the left and right directions, the left and right edges of the front cross beam lower plate 23 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 24, and the two ends of the connecting plate 24 can be respectively connected to the front cross beam lower plate 23 and the vehicle body, so that the front cross beam lower plate 23, the connecting plate 24 and the vehicle body are connected as a whole, which can increase each other's weight and spatial mode, thereby improving the structural strength and bending and torsional rigidity of the top cover assembly 100, and further improving the structural reliability of the top cover assembly 100.

[0052] Specifically, combined Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the front cross beam upper plate 22 is connected to the edge of the front cross beam lower plate 23 by welding, and the edge of the front cross beam lower plate 23 is connected to the connecting plate 24 by welding. Compared with other connection methods (such as bonding, screw connection, etc.), welding has a greater connection strength, which is conducive to improving the connection firmness and tightness between welded structures. The edge of the front cross beam upper plate 22 in the present application is connected to the edge of the front cross beam lower plate 23 by welding, and the edge of the front cross beam lower plate 23 is connected to the connecting plate 24 by welding, so that the three can be effectively connected into a firm whole, thereby improving the reliability of its overall structure.

[0053] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model includes a radar 200 and the top cover assembly 100 of the above embodiment, and the radar 200 is arranged in the first installation cavity 111. In this way, the vehicle with the top cover assembly 100 can provide an installation position and space for installing the radar 200 on the basis of satisfying the structural strength of the top cover assembly 100, thereby helping to improve the vehicle's assisted driving performance and further improve the vehicle's market competitiveness.
