Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts, and particularly to a structure integrating a sill aluminum profile and a structural reinforcement member. Background Art

[0002] Due to the continuous improvement of people's requirements for automotive performance, the safety and NVH performance of the whole vehicle have received more extensive attention. In order to improve these related performances of the whole vehicle, structural reinforcement members are often added to the vehicle body to achieve functional improvement. Traditional structural reinforcement members are usually sill aluminum profiles or side pillar sill composite reinforcement members, and the two are alternative solutions. When choosing a sill aluminum profile, the cost and weight of the whole vehicle increase significantly; when choosing a side pillar sill composite reinforcement member, a relatively large layout space is required, and there are many installation points on the vehicle body, so the selection of the layout position of the rubber block is greatly restricted. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure with a small occupied space, low cost, and low weight to optimize this problem existing in practice. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that traditional structural reinforcement members are usually sill aluminum profiles or side pillar sill composite reinforcement members, and the weight, cost, and layout space conflict with each other, and the advantages of the two cannot be reflected.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is: a structure integrating a sill aluminum profile and a structural reinforcement member, including a sill aluminum profile, a side pillar sill composite reinforcement member, and a connecting member. One end of the side pillar sill composite reinforcement member is provided with a convex structure, and one end of the sill aluminum profile is provided with a groove matching with the convex structure. A rivet nut is fixedly installed inside the convex structure, and the connecting member is connected to the rivet nut.

[0005] Further, a positioning structure is provided on one side of the convex structure, and the positioning structure is inserted into the cavity inside the sill aluminum profile.

[0006] Further, through holes corresponding to the positions of the rivet nuts are provided on the sill aluminum profile and the side pillar sill composite reinforcement member, and the end of the connecting member passes through the through holes and is then connected to the rivet nut.

[0007] Further, the connecting member is a bolt or a screw.

[0008] Further, mounting holes for mounting with the vehicle body are provided on the side walls of the sill aluminum profile and the side pillar sill composite reinforcement member.

[0009] The advantages of the present utility model compared with the existing technologies are as follows: By integrating the threshold aluminum profile and the side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement, the present utility model can fully embody the advantages of the aluminum profile side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement, ensuring both the collision safety requirements, reducing the weight and cost of the whole vehicle, and occupying less space, meeting the space requirements for the layout position of the rubber block.

[0014] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a structure integrating a threshold aluminum profile and a structural reinforcement includes a threshold aluminum profile 1, a side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement 2, and a connector 3.

[0016] One end of the side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement 2 is provided with a convex structure, one end of the threshold aluminum profile 1 is provided with a groove matching the convex structure, one side of the convex structure is provided with a positioning structure, the positioning structure is inserted into the cavity inside the threshold aluminum profile 1, and a rivet nut is fixedly installed inside the convex structure. Through holes corresponding to the position of the rivet nut are provided on the threshold aluminum profile 1 and the side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement 2.

[0017] The connector 3 is a bolt, and its end passes through the through hole and is connected to the rivet nut.

[0018] The convex structure at the end of the side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement 2 is butted against the groove at the end of the threshold aluminum profile 1, and the positioning structure is inserted into the cavity inside the threshold aluminum profile 1. The threshold aluminum profile 1 and the side pillar threshold composite material reinforcement 2 can be combined and fixed together through the cooperation of the connector 3 and the rivet nut.

[0019] Both the threshold aluminum profile 1 and the side pillar threshold composite reinforcement 2 are provided with mounting holes for mounting to the vehicle body.
