[0062] In this embodiment, since the connecting member 300 is detachably connected to the side A-pillar 120 and the installation hole 210 respectively, the installation and disassembly efficiency of the worker is improved, it is convenient for the worker to replace and repair the connecting member 300, and connecting members 300 with different strengths can be installed according to different strength requirements.
[0063] In another embodiment, the connecting member 300 is a connecting bolt, the installation hole 210 is a threaded hole, one end of the connecting bolt is used to be set on the side A-pillar 120, and the other end of the connecting bolt is threadedly connected in the threaded hole.
[0064] In this embodiment, by setting the connecting member 300 as a connecting bolt, the installation and disassembly efficiency of the connecting member 300 is improved, and the connection strength is ensured, so that the bending and compressive resistance abilities of the vehicle body A-pillar 100 in the X and Z directions of the vehicle are improved.
[0065] Among them, the connecting bolt can adopt an M14 bolt.
[0066] Furthermore, the installation seat 200 can be a nut bushing; through the mating connection of the connecting bolt and the nut bushing, the strengthened connection between the side A-pillar 120 and the engine compartment A-pillar 110 is realized, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the side A-pillar 120 and the engine compartment A-pillar 110 and preventing the solder joints between the side A-pillar 120 and the engine compartment A-pillar 110 from tearing.
[0067] In other embodiments, the nut bushing is perpendicular to the side A-pillar 120 and the engine compartment A-pillar 110 respectively to enhance the stability of the nut bushing fixation and further prevent the nut bushing from falling off.
[0068] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle body A-pillar structure, which includes an engine compartment A-pillar 110 and a side wall A-pillar 120 connected to the engine compartment A-pillar 110, and further includes the vehicle body A-pillar strengthening connection structure of any of the above embodiments.
