[0036] See also Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a car, including a wheel house inner panel 200 , a wheel house outer panel 300 and a retractor mounting bracket 100 .

[0037] like Figure 2-7 As shown, the retractor mounting bracket 100 is mounted on the wheel house inner plate 200 and the wheel house outer plate 300, and is used to install the seat belt retractor. The retractor mounting bracket 100 includes a first frame 10, a second frame 20, and a third frame 30. Among them, the first frame 10 is used to connect with the wheel house inner plate 200, the second frame 20 is used to connect with the wheel house inner plate 200, and the third frame 30 is used to connect with the wheel house outer plate 300.

[0038] Specifically, the first frame 10 is provided with a first welding portion 11 and a second welding portion 12, and is connected to the wheel house inner panel 200 through the first welding portion 11 and the second welding portion 12. The second frame 20 is connected to the first frame 10 and is bent relative to the first frame 10. The second frame 20 is provided with a third welding portion 21 and a fourth welding portion 22, and is connected to the wheel house inner panel 200 through the third welding portion 21 and the fourth welding portion 22. The third frame 30 is connected to the second frame 20 and is bent relative to the second frame 20. The third frame 30 is provided with a fifth welding portion 31, and is connected to the wheel house outer panel 300 through the fifth welding portion 31.

[0039] It can be understood that multiple welding surfaces can disperse the received force, reduce the possibility of separation between the welding surface and the wheel house inner panel 200 or the wheel house outer panel 300, and enhance the installation and fixing strength of the mounting bracket.

[0040] Furthermore, a reinforcing protrusion 23 is provided on the second frame 20 , and the reinforcing protrusion 23 protrudes from the second frame 20 to a side away from the wheel house inner panel 200 .

[0041] It can be understood that when the second frame 20 is connected to the wheel house inner panel 200, the reinforcing protrusion 23 will be surrounded by the wheel house inner panel 200 to form a cavity, thereby increasing the rigidity of the panel and improving its firmness.

[0042] Optionally, an opening 24 is provided on the reinforcing protrusion 23, and the opening 24 penetrates the reinforcing protrusion 23 along the thickness direction of the reinforcing protrusion 23. That is, the opening 24 is connected to the cavity formed by the reinforcing protrusion 23 and the wheel house inner plate 200. During electrophoresis, the electrophoresis liquid can enter the cavity through the opening 24 to avoid poor electrophoresis in the cavity. The size and position of the opening 24 can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In this embodiment, the reinforcing protrusion 23 is disposed between the third welding portion 21 and the fourth welding portion 22 , that is, the reinforcing protrusion 23 is disposed at a position corresponding to the position between the third welding portion 21 and the fourth welding portion 22 .

[0044] Preferably, the reinforcing protrusion 23 extends along the length direction of the second frame body 20 and can be configured as a long strip of reinforcing ribs 206 , and the length of which is configured to be equal to the length of the second frame body 20 , so as to enhance the overall strength of the second frame body 20 .

[0045] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the reinforcing protrusion 23 may also be configured to extend along the width direction of the second frame body 20 , and the length may also be selected according to actual needs.

[0046] Preferably, the third welding portion 21 and the fourth welding portion 22 also extend along the length direction of the first frame 10 and are equal to the length of the second frame 20. That is, the second frame 20 is sequentially provided with the third welding portion 21, the reinforcing convex portion 23, and the fourth welding portion 22 in the width direction, thereby ensuring the structural strength while ensuring the welding area.

[0047] Furthermore, a sixth welding portion 25 is disposed on the second frame 20 near the fourth welding portion 22 , and the sixth welding portion 25 is bent relative to the second frame 20 .

[0048] Preferably, two sixth welding portions 25 are provided and distributed along the length direction of the second frame 20. The two sixth welding portions 25 are both located on the same side of the second frame 20 and are connected to the fourth welding portions 22.

[0049] Furthermore, the first frame 10 is provided with a first bending body 13 and a second bending body 14, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the first frame 10 and connected to the edge of the first frame 10. The first bending body 13 and the second bending body 14 are both bent relative to the first frame 10.

[0050] Furthermore, the first welding portion 11 is disposed on the first bending body 13, and the second welding portion 12 is disposed on the second bending body 14. The welding surfaces are ensured to be on different planes, thereby improving the fixing strength.

[0051] Furthermore, the first frame 10 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 16, and the first reinforcing rib 16 is arranged near the second bending body 14. The first reinforcing rib 16 extends along the length direction of the first frame 10 to improve the strength of the first frame 10 in the length direction.

[0052] Optionally, the first frame 10 is provided with a second reinforcing rib 15, and the second reinforcing rib 15 is arranged at a position away from the second frame 20. The second reinforcing rib 15 extends along the width direction of the first frame 10 to improve the strength of the first frame 10 in the width direction.

[0053] It can be understood that when the retractor is installed on the mounting bracket, the second reinforcing ribs 15 can play an interference role to avoid a gap between the retractor and the first frame body 10, thereby enhancing the stability of the retractor installation.

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the wheel house inner plate 200 is provided with a first inner plate welding portion 201, a second inner plate welding portion 202, a third inner plate welding portion 203, a fourth inner plate welding portion 204, and a fifth inner plate welding portion 205. The positions of the first inner plate welding portion 201, the second inner plate welding portion 202, the third inner plate welding portion 203, the fourth inner plate welding portion 204, and the fifth inner plate welding portion 205 respectively correspond to the positions of the first welding portion 11, the second welding portion 12, the third welding portion 21, the fourth welding portion 22, and the sixth welding portion 25. The connection between the retractor mounting bracket 100 and the wheel house inner plate 200 is achieved by welding and fixing these welding portions.

[0055] It can be understood that the first inner plate weld 201 is welded and fixedly connected to the first weld 11; the second inner plate weld 202 is welded and fixedly connected to the second weld 12; the third inner plate weld 203 is welded and fixedly connected to the third weld 21; the fourth inner plate weld 204 is welded and fixedly connected to the fourth weld 22; and the fifth inner plate weld 205 is welded and fixedly connected to the sixth weld 25.

[0056] In this embodiment, the welding connection is connected by solder, and a welding spot is formed at the welding position, and the welding is strong. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the welding connection can also be connected by other methods such as laser welding, spot welding, etc.

[0057] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 206 is provided on the wheel house inner panel 200 corresponding to the reinforcing convex portion 23. The reinforcing rib 206 is provided protruding from the wheel house inner panel 200 to a position away from the reinforcing convex portion 23. The protruding reinforcing rib 206 can increase the size of the cavity formed by the reinforcing convex portion 23, further improving the rigidity of the panel.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the wheel house outer panel 300 includes a C-pillar inner panel 301, a C-pillar partition 302, and a C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303, and the C-pillar inner panel 301 is connected to the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303. A C-pillar cavity 304 is formed between the C-pillar inner panel 301 and the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303. The C-pillar partition 302 is arranged in the C-pillar cavity 304, and the two ends of the C-pillar partition 302 are respectively connected to the C-pillar inner panel 301 and the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303.

[0059] Furthermore, a first outer panel welding portion 305 is provided on the wheel house outer panel 300 , and the first outer panel welding portion 305 is welded and fixedly connected to the fifth welding portion 31 .

[0060] Furthermore, a first bulkhead weld 306 and a second bulkhead weld 307 are respectively provided at both ends of the C-pillar bulkhead 302 . The first bulkhead weld 306 is connected to the C-pillar inner plate 301 , and the second bulkhead weld 307 is connected to the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303 .

[0061] Optionally, a beam plate weld 308 is provided on the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303, and the first outer plate weld 305 is provided on the C-pillar inner plate 301. The first bulkhead weld 306 is welded and fixedly connected to the first outer plate weld 305, and the second bulkhead weld 307 is welded and fixedly connected to the beam plate weld 308.

[0062] It can be understood that the connection between the C-pillar bulkhead 302 and the C-pillar inner panel 301 and the connection between the C-pillar inner panel 301 and the mounting bracket are both located at the first outer panel welding portion 305 , where the welding is more solid and the panel rigidity is also stronger.

[0063] Preferably, the C-pillar upper beam reinforcement plate 303 is provided with a through-welding hole 309 near the beam plate welding portion 308 , and the through-welding hole 309 is connected to the C-pillar cavity 304 , so as to facilitate the electrophoresis and welding operations inside the C-pillar cavity 304 .

[0064] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
