[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] The utility model embodiment provides a vehicle body frame structure, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle body frame structure includes a door sill beam 1, a seat cross beam 2 and a pillar lap joint 3; the end of the seat cross beam 2 is connected to the inner wall of the door sill beam 1; the pillar lap joint 3 includes a lap joint body 31 and a reinforcement part 32 extending from a side edge of the lap joint body 31, the lap joint body 31 is lapped on the seat cross beam 2, and the reinforcement part 32 is connected to the end of the seat cross beam 2 and the inner wall of the door sill beam 1.

[0031] As an example, the vehicle body frame structure includes a sill beam 1, a seat cross beam 2 and a pillar lap joint 3, and the pillar lap joint 3 includes a lap joint body 31 and a reinforcement portion 32. During installation, the end of the seat cross beam 2 is connected to the inner wall of the sill beam 1, and the lap joint body 31 is overlapped on the seat cross beam 2. The reinforcement portion 32 extends downward from a side edge of the lap joint body 31 along the up and down direction of the vehicle, and is connected to the end of the seat cross beam 2 and the inner wall of the sill beam 1; the reinforcement portion 32 is arranged in this way to form a barrier together with the inner wall of the sill beam 1 to ensure that the contact area between the seat cross beam 2 and the inner wall of the sill beam 1 can be covered, and the line-to-surface connection between the seat cross beam 2 and the sill beam 1 is changed to a surface-to-surface connection through the reinforcement portion 32, and the side strength of the sill beam 1 can be significantly improved, so that the seat cross beam 2 is difficult to penetrate the sill beam 1, and the sill beam 1 can be fully crushed to absorb energy, and the risk of failure is significantly reduced. In addition, since the pillar lap part 3 is made of steel with high toughness and the door sill beam 1 is made of extruded aluminum with high strength, the two are stacked together to further improve the supporting strength of the body frame structure. The pillar lap part 3 can be a B-pillar lap part or a C-pillar lap part, and the corresponding seat cross beam 2 can be a front seat rear cross beam or a rear seat rear cross beam.

[0032] In this example, when a side collision occurs, the sill beam 1 transmits force in the left-right direction of the vehicle, squeezing the reinforcing portion 32 of the pillar lap joint 3 inward, and then the reinforcing portion 32 squeezes the seat cross beam 2. The reinforcing portion 32 is arranged between the seat cross beam 2 and the sill beam 1, which can transform the traditional line-to-surface contact into surface-to-surface contact, effectively preventing the sill from being penetrated. In addition, since the pillar lap joint 3 is a high-strength steel sheet metal part with high toughness and strength, the supporting strength of the vehicle body frame structure can be further improved. By optimizing the structure on the existing basis, the shortcomings of the aluminum profile sill beam 1, which has poor toughness and is easily penetrated and failed by the seat cross beam 2 in the pillar collision condition, are solved; and the cost is not increased.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pillar lap joint 3 further includes a first flange 33 extending from both ends of the lap joint body 31 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle; the first flange 33 is lapped on the door sill beam 1.

[0034] As an example, the pillar joint 3 also includes a first flange 33, which extends from both ends of the joint body 31 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle; the first flange 33 is overlapped on the sill beam 1, which can increase the overlap area between the pillar joint 3 and the sill beam 1, thereby enhancing the connection reliability between the pillar joint 3 and the sill beam 1.

[0035] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the projection of the reinforcement portion 32 along the left-right direction of the vehicle at least partially overlaps with the projection of the seat cross beam 2 along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0036] As an example, the projection of the reinforcement part 32 along the left-right direction of the vehicle overlaps at least partially with the projection of the seat cross beam 2 along the left-right direction of the vehicle. In this way, the reinforcement part 32 and the inner side wall of the threshold beam 1 together form a barrier to ensure that the contact area between the seat cross beam 2 and the inner side wall of the threshold beam 1 can be covered. The line-surface connection between the seat cross beam 2 and the threshold beam 1 is changed to surface-surface connection through the reinforcement part 32. The side strength of the threshold beam 1 can be significantly improved, making it difficult for the seat cross beam 2 to penetrate the threshold beam 1. The threshold beam 1 can fully crush and absorb energy, and the risk of failure is significantly reduced. Among them, the best arrangement scheme is that the projection of the reinforcement part 32 along the left-right direction of the vehicle just completely covers the projection of the seat cross beam 2 along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The vehicle body frame structure further includes a reinforcing rib 4 , which is arranged in the door sill beam 1 .

[0038] As an example, the vehicle body frame structure further includes a reinforcing rib 4 ; the reinforcing rib 4 is disposed in the sill beam 1 , so that the reinforcing rib 4 can improve the supporting strength of the sill beam 1 .

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The reinforcing rib 4 includes at least one first reinforcing rib 41 arranged along the left-right direction of the vehicle and at least one second reinforcing rib 42 arranged along the up-down direction of the vehicle; at least one first reinforcing rib 41 and at least one second reinforcing rib 42 cooperate to divide the internal space of the sill beam 1 to form at least four collision energy absorption chambers.

[0040] As an example, the reinforcing rib 4 includes at least one first reinforcing rib 41 and at least one second reinforcing rib 42; the first reinforcing rib 41 is arranged along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second reinforcing rib 42 is arranged along the up-down direction of the vehicle; at least one first reinforcing rib 41 and at least one second reinforcing rib 42 cooperate to divide the internal space of the sill beam 1 to form at least four collision energy absorption cavities, which can absorb collision force, thereby effectively improving the supporting strength of the sill beam 1.

[0041] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The projection of at least one first reinforcing rib 41 along the left-right direction of the vehicle is located in the overlapping area of ​​the projections of the seat cross beam 2 and the reinforcing portion 32 along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0042] As an example, the projection of at least one first reinforcing rib 41 along the left-right direction of the vehicle is located in the overlapping area of ​​the projections of the seat cross beam 2 and the reinforcement portion 32 along the left-right direction of the vehicle. Specifically, the distribution of the reinforcing ribs 4 in the sill beam 1 is changed, and the first reinforcing rib 41 in the sill beam 1 is set between the upper and lower boundaries of the seat cross beam 2. The first reinforcing rib 41 is opposite to the reinforcement portion 32 of the column lap joint 3, thereby further supporting the extruded surface of the sill beam 1, making it difficult for the seat cross beam 2 to penetrate the sill beam 1, and the sill beam 1 can be fully crushed to absorb energy.

[0043] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The vehicle body frame structure further includes a seat mounting bracket 5 , which is mounted at the end of the seat cross beam 2 and connected to the door sill beam 1 .

[0044] As an example, the vehicle body frame structure further includes a seat mounting bracket 5, which is mounted at the end of the seat cross beam 2 and connected to the threshold beam 1. The seat mounting bracket 5 can play a supporting role and firmly mount the seat cross beam 2 on the threshold beam 1. For example, the CNCAP column collision position is roughly equivalent to the seat cross beam 2 along the left and right direction of the vehicle. When the column squeezes the threshold beam 1, the threshold beam 1 is stressed, causing the seat cross beam 2 to squeeze the threshold beam 1 synchronously. At this time, the seat mounting bracket 5 can play a supporting role.

[0045] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The seat mounting bracket 5 includes a bracket body 51, two support plates 52 extending from both side edges of the bracket body 51 along the up-down direction of the vehicle, a second flange 53 extending from the lower side of each support plate 52 along the front-back direction of the vehicle, and a third flange 54 extending from one end of each support plate 52 along the front-back direction of the vehicle; the bracket body 51, the two support plates 52 and the two second flanges 53 are overlapped on the seat cross beam 2, and the third flange 54 is overlapped on the reinforcement part 32.

[0046] As an example, the seat mounting bracket 5 includes a bracket body 51, two support plates 52, a second flange 53 and a third flange 54; the bracket body 51 is a base, the two support plates 52 are respectively extended from the two side edges of the bracket body 51 along the up-down direction of the vehicle, and the two second flanges 53 are respectively extended from the lower side of each support plate 52 along the front-back direction of the vehicle. The bracket body 51, the two support plates 52 and the two second flanges 53 are overlapped on the seat cross beam 2, so that it is convenient to install the seat mounting bracket 5 on the seat cross beam 2. The third flange 54 extends from the outer side of each support plate 52 in a direction perpendicular to the support plate 52, and the third flange 54 is overlapped on the reinforcement part 32, so that the overlap area between the seat mounting bracket 5 and the door sill beam 1 can be increased, thereby improving the support strength, making it difficult for the seat cross beam 2 to penetrate the door sill beam 1, and the door sill beam 1 can be fully crushed to absorb energy.

[0047] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the seat mounting bracket 5 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0048] As an example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the seat mounting bracket 5 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle gradually expands from the inside to the outside along the left-right direction of the vehicle, which can expand the overlap area between the seat mounting bracket 5 and the threshold beam 1 and play a certain supporting role, making it difficult for the seat cross beam 2 to penetrate the threshold beam 1, and the threshold beam 1 can fully crush and absorb energy.

[0049] An embodiment of the utility model provides a car, comprising a vehicle body frame structure.

[0050] As an example, the vehicle body frame structure includes a sill beam 1, a seat cross beam 2 and a pillar lap joint 3, and the pillar lap joint 3 includes a lap joint body 31 and a reinforcement portion 32. During installation, the end of the seat cross beam 2 is connected to the inner wall of the sill beam 1, and the lap joint body 31 is overlapped on the seat cross beam 2. The reinforcement portion 32 extends downward from a side edge of the lap joint body 31 along the up and down direction of the vehicle, and is connected to the end of the seat cross beam 2 and the inner wall of the sill beam 1; the reinforcement portion 32 is arranged in this way to form a barrier together with the inner wall of the sill beam 1 to ensure that the contact area between the seat cross beam 2 and the inner wall of the sill beam 1 can be covered, and the line-to-surface connection between the seat cross beam 2 and the sill beam 1 is changed to a surface-to-surface connection through the reinforcement portion 32, and the side strength of the sill beam 1 can be significantly improved, so that the seat cross beam 2 is difficult to penetrate the sill beam 1, and the sill beam 1 can be fully crushed to absorb energy, and the risk of failure is significantly reduced. In addition, since the pillar lap part 3 is made of steel with high toughness and the door sill beam 1 is made of extruded aluminum with high strength, the two are stacked together to further improve the supporting strength of the body frame structure. The pillar lap part 3 can be a B-pillar lap part or a C-pillar lap part, and the corresponding seat cross beam 2 can be a front seat rear cross beam or a rear seat rear cross beam.

[0051] In this example, when a collision occurs, the sill beam 1 transmits force in the left-right direction of the vehicle, squeezing the reinforcing portion 32 of the pillar lap joint 3 inward, and then the reinforcing portion 32 squeezes the seat cross beam 2. The reinforcing portion 32 is arranged between the seat cross beam 2 and the sill beam 1, which can convert the traditional line-to-surface contact into surface-to-surface contact, effectively preventing the sill from being penetrated. In addition, since the pillar lap joint 3 is a high-strength steel sheet metal with high toughness and strength, the supporting strength of the vehicle body frame structure can be further improved. By optimizing the structure on the existing basis, the shortcomings of the aluminum profile sill beam 1, such as poor toughness and easy failure due to penetration by the seat cross beam 2 in the pillar collision condition, are solved; and the cost is not increased, and the safety of the battery pack is further improved.

[0052] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
