[0027] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0028] Below, reference is made to Figures 1-3 describe the vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] The vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a side wall panel 10, a taillight box 20 and a taillight 30. The taillight box 20 is installed on the side wall panel 10. An open mouth 21 is formed at the rear side of the taillight box 20. The taillight 30 is installed in the taillight box 20, and the light-emitting surface of the taillight 30 faces the open mouth 21. By providing the open mouth 21 at the rear side of the taillight box 20, a space for accommodating and installing the taillight 30 can be provided, which is convenient for fixing the taillight 30 in the taillight box 20.

[0030] Among them, a mating groove 11 with an opening facing forward is formed at the rear end of the side wall panel 10. The tail lamp box 20 includes a box side plate 22 adjacent to the side wall panel 10. In the left - right direction, at least a part of the box side plate 22 is located on the side away from the longitudinal central axis of the vehicle body of the tail lamp 30. The part of the box side plate 22 located on the side away from the longitudinal central axis of the vehicle body of the tail lamp 30 is the outer side plate portion 24, and the rear end of the outer side plate portion is received in the mating groove 11. By providing the mating groove 11 at the rear end of the side wall panel 10 and allowing the rear end of the outer side plate portion 24 to be received in the mating groove 11, this connection method can make the connection between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10 located in the mating groove 11, improving the sealing performance at the connection between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10. Thus, the connection between the side wall panel 10 and the box side plate 22 is protected by the mating groove 11, and there is no need to protect it by significantly increasing the size of the rear bumper to cover the connection between the tail lamp box 20 and the side wall panel 10, saving the material cost. For example, the size of the rear bumper in the up - down direction can be reduced by 25%, the cost of the rear bumper can be reduced by 50 yuan, and the rear bumper can be lightened by 0.8 kg.

[0031] In addition, the rear side of the connection between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10 is covered by the side wall panel 10, which can prevent the connection gap between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10 from being exposed to the outside, and also improves the integrity and aesthetics of the structure in appearance. At the same time, it can also release the freedom of styling design. The tail lamp 30 can be designed as an in - built type, and there is no split seam on the side of the side wall panel 10 of the vehicle 100, which can meet more styling design requirements.

[0032] Optionally, the rear end of the box side plate 22 can be in interference fit with the mating groove 11 to realize the connection between the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10. This connection method makes the assembly of the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10 more convenient.

[0033] Optionally, while the rear end of the box side plate 22 is connected to the rear end of the side wall panel 10 through the mating groove 11, the rear end of the box side plate 22 can be welded or bonded to the rear end of the side wall panel 10. Since the rear end of the box side plate 22 is received in the mating groove 11 at the rear end of the side wall panel 10, the welding structure or bonding structure between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the rear end of the side wall panel 10 is located in the mating groove 11 of the side wall panel 10, which can protect the connection structure between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the rear end of the side wall panel 10, improving the sealing performance of the connection between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the rear end of the side wall panel 10, reducing the entry of dust, liquid, etc. through the gap between the rear end of the box side plate 22 and the rear end of the side wall panel 10 into the weld or adhesive layer between the two, which affects the stability of the weld or adhesive layer, and thus improving the connection stability between the box side plate 22 and the side wall panel 10.

[0034] Vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, by providing a mating groove 11 at the rear end of the side wall panel 10 and accommodating the rear end of the box side panel 22 into the mating groove 11, this connection method can make the connection between the rear end of the outer panel portion 24 and the side wall panel 10 located within the mating groove 11, improving the sealing performance at the connection between the rear end of the outer panel portion 24 and the side wall panel 10. Thus, the connection between the side wall panel 10 and the box side panel 22 is protected by the mating groove 11, eliminating the need to protect the connection between the taillight box 20 and the side wall panel 10 by significantly increasing the size of the rear bumper. As a result, the size of the rear bumper is smaller, saving the material cost of the rear bumper and reducing the weight of the rear bumper.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 the side wall panel 10 includes a side wall panel 10 main body and a hemming 13. The hemming 13 is connected to the rear end of the side wall panel 10 main body and is folded forward relative to the side wall panel 10 main body. A mating groove 11 is defined between the hemming 13 and the side wall panel 10 main body. By using a part of the structure of the side wall panel 10 as the hemming 13 and folding the hemming 13 to define the mating groove 11, the stiffness of the mating groove 11 can be increased, providing more reliable positioning for the taillight box 20 when mating with the taillight box 20, and reducing the process difficulty of machining the mating groove 11.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 3 the length of the hemming 13 is a, and the range of a is 6 mm to 8 mm. The length of the hemming 13 refers to the length dimension of the hemming 13 folded forward relative to the side wall panel 10 main body. For example, the value range of the length a of the hemming 13 can be 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, etc. By limiting the range of the length a of the hemming 13 to be not less than 6 mm, the hemming 13 will not be too short, ensuring that the hemming 13 can fully position the rear end of the box side panel 22 and making the connection between the box side panel 22 and the side wall panel 10 more firm. By limiting the range of the length a of the hemming 13 to be not greater than 8 mm, it is avoided that the length of the hemming 13 is too long, occupying space and affecting the installation and mating of other parts.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 3, the included angle between the edge wrapping 13 and the left - right direction is α, and the value range of α is 95° to 105°. For example, the value of α can be 95°, 100°, 105°, etc. By making the value of α not greater than 105°, the process can be made simpler. For example, when the edge wrapping 13 process is a rolling press, the edge wrapping 13 production requires multiple rolling deformations. If the value of α is too large, an additional rolling deformation process is needed, which will increase the process time and operations. Making the included angle α between the edge wrapping 13 and the vertical direction not greater than 105° can reduce the process operations and the process time. By making the value of α not less than 95°, the assembly interference between the edge wrapping 13 and the box side plate 22 can be reduced.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2 , the edge wrapping 13 and the main body of the side wall 10 are connected with an arc transition. The arc transition connection can simplify the processing technology of the edge wrapping 13 and can also prevent the connection between the edge wrapping 13 and the main body of the side wall 10 from having sharp corners that may scratch the user or damage other parts.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, a lapping portion 23 is formed at the rear end of the box side plate 22. The lapping portion 23 is connected to the main body of the side wall 10, and at least part of the lapping portion 23 is located in the mating groove 11. Making at least part of the lapping portion 23 located in the mating groove 11 can limit the lapping portion 23 by the mating groove 11, making the connection more reliable. At the same time, the mating groove 11 can also surround the connection between the lapping portion 23 and the main body of the side wall 10 to protect the connection.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 3 , the length of the lapping portion 23 is c, and the value range of c is 5 mm to 20 mm. The length of the lapping portion 23 refers to the distance dimension between the rear end point and the front end point of the lapping portion 23. For example, the length c of the lapping portion 23 can be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, etc. By making the value of the length c of the lapping portion 23 not less than 5 mm, the lapping portion 23 can have a sufficient length to cooperate with the main body of the side wall 10, making the connection between the lapping portion 23 and the main body of the side wall 10 more fully reliable. By making the value of the length c of the lapping portion 23 not greater than 20 mm, material waste can be avoided and costs can be saved.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2, the hemming 13 extends obliquely in a direction away from the tail lamp 30 in the rear-to-front direction. By making the hemming 13 extend obliquely in a direction away from the tail lamp 30 in the rear-to-front direction, both the lapping portion 23 and the mating groove 11 can extend obliquely in a direction away from the tail lamp 30 in the rear-to-front direction. When the lapping portion 23 can be received in the mating groove 11, the mating groove 11 can fully limit the lapping portion 23, making it more difficult for the lapping portion 23 to fall off or slip out.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , it includes a water trough trim panel 40. The water trough trim panel 40 is disposed in the lamp box and the water trough trim panel 40 is located on a side of the tail lamp 30 away from the side wall panel 10. The water trough trim panel 40 and the lamp box together define a receiving cavity for receiving the tail lamp 30, and the water trough trim panel 40 and the rear end of the side wall panel 10 together define an open mouth 21. By setting the water trough trim panel 40, the water trough trim panel 40 and the side wall panel 10 can jointly and fully limit the tail lamp 30 in the left-right direction, ensuring that the installation of the tail lamp 30 is more secure.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the rear bumper of the vehicle 100 is located below the mating groove 11. The side wall panel 10 and the tail lamp box 20 are cooperatively connected using the mating groove 11, such that the tail lamp box 20 is received in the mating groove 11. The mating groove 11 can cover the connection seam between the tail lamp box 20 and the side wall panel 10. Therefore, the rear bumper does not need to provide a shielding function for the connection between the tail lamp box 20 and the mating groove 11, and the height of the rear bumper can be appropriately reduced. Moreover, the mating groove 11 itself has sealing performance, which can protect the connection seam between the tail lamp box 20 and the side wall panel 10, preventing external dust or liquid from entering the connection seam and reducing the stability of the connection. Therefore, there is no need to protect the connection seam between the tail lamp box 20 and the side wall panel 10 by raising the rear bumper, and the height of the rear bumper can be appropriately reduced, the volume of the rear bumper can be reduced, so as to reduce costs. At the same time, when the rear bumper is lowered below the mating groove 11, the split seam between the rear bumper and the vehicle body is lowered, and the split seam is away from the high-sensing area of vision, making the appearance of the vehicle body more beautiful.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, the side panel 10 includes a wheelhouse portion. The edge of the wheelhouse portion facing the wheel 60 is the inner edge. The seam between the rear bumper of the vehicle 100 and the side panel 10 is not higher than the highest position of the inner edge. By using the mating groove 11 to connect the side panel 10 and the taillight box 20 in a mating manner, the taillight box 20 is received in the mating groove 11. The mating groove 11 can block and protect the connection seam between the taillight box 20 and the side panel 10. Therefore, the rear bumper does not need to provide shielding and protection for the connection between the taillight box 20 and the mating groove 11, and the height of the rear bumper can be appropriately reduced. Moreover, the mating groove 11 itself has sealing performance, which can protect the connection seam between the taillight box 20 and the side panel 10 and prevent external dust or liquid from entering the connection seam and reducing the connection stability. Therefore, there is no need to protect the connection seam between the taillight box 20 and the side panel 10 by raising the rear bumper, and the volume of the rear bumper can be reduced to lower the cost. At the same time, after the rear bumper is lowered, the seam between the rear bumper and the vehicle body is lowered, and the seam is away from the high-sensitivity area of vision, making the appearance of the vehicle body more beautiful.
