[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle body structures, in particular to a latch reinforcement plate, an installation structure of a vehicle door latch and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] During the process of closing the car door, the door lock and the lock buckle collide and engage, emitting a high-frequency, harsh metal knocking sound, which has a great impact on the quality of the door closing sound during use. Studies have found that by improving the dynamic stiffness of the lock buckle installation point, the door closing sound quality performance can be effectively improved. For example, the patent document CN114673411A discloses a car side door lock buckle installation structure, which improves the dynamic stiffness of the rear door lock buckle position by adding a support plate. However, this installation structure has a large number of welding layers at the rear door frame flange, which has the problem of high welding difficulty. Another example is the rear body lock buckle reinforcement bracket structure disclosed in the patent document CN209667215U, which also improves the dynamic stiffness of the rear door lock buckle position by adding a lock buckle reinforcement bracket. Among them, the lock buckle reinforcement bracket is welded to the rear body inner panel through welding points, and is connected to the rear body outer panel through welding points and structural adhesive applied to the flange. This structure has the problem of complex process.
