It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0034] As described in the background, in a side pillar collision, the lower body structure is one of the main load-bearing and supporting components. To effectively protect the occupants, the compression deformation of the body structure should be controlled, especially the intrusion amount of the occupant compartment during a side impact. As a key transverse structural member, the seat crossbeam should not undergo significant deformation or bending during a collision to avoid secondary injury to the occupants. To better solve this problem, the researchers in the present application propose a body structure, and one of the functions of the body structure is to offset part of the force transmitted by the seat crossbeam, thereby reducing the injury caused to the occupants due to the deformation or bending of the seat crossbeam.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the body structure in an embodiment of the present application. The body structure includes: a sill beam 100, a seat crossbeam 200, and a first reinforcing member 310. Refer also to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the seat crossbeam 200 is connected to the sill beam 100, and the first reinforcement member 310 is used to support the seat crossbeam 200. When a downward force is applied to the seat crossbeam 200, the first reinforcement member 310 can apply an upward supporting force to the seat crossbeam 200, thereby offsetting the force borne by the seat crossbeam 200.

[0036] Specifically, the vehicle body structure includes: a sill beam 100 and a seat crossbeam 200, where one end of the seat crossbeam 200 is connected to the sill beam 100, for example, by welding. The seat crossbeam 200 extends in a first direction, and the first direction can be referred to Figure 1 the direction indicated by the arrow a in. The first reinforcement member 310 is disposed below the seat crossbeam 200, and at least one end of the first reinforcement member 310 faces the seat crossbeam 200. It should be noted that the first direction can be a direction perpendicular to the side of the vehicle.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is subjected to a side collision and a downward force is applied to the seat crossbeam 200, the first reinforcement member 310 located below the seat crossbeam 200 can provide an upward supporting force to offset the downward force applied to the seat crossbeam 200. Through the design solution in this embodiment, the deformation or bending of the seat crossbeam 200 during the force application process can be reduced, thereby reducing the potential injury risk to the occupants.

[0038] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first groove 210 is provided on the lower side of the seat crossbeam 200. The first reinforcement member 310 includes an arc-shaped groove portion with an opening facing the first groove 210, and one end of the first reinforcement member 310 away from the sill beam 100 extends towards the bottom wall direction of the first groove 210.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first groove 210 in the seat crossbeam 200 is used to accommodate the first reinforcement member 310, and the first reinforcement member 310 can be fixed in the first groove 210 by welding. When a downward external force is applied to the seat crossbeam 200, the first reinforcement member 310 contacts the bottom of the first groove 210 and generates a reaction force to offset the external force applied to the seat crossbeam 200. The concave structure of the first groove 210 can guide the external force to be distributed along the edge of the first groove 210 during force application, thereby controlling the overall deformation path of the seat crossbeam 200 and improving the bending resistance performance. In addition, the arc-shaped groove portion of the first reinforcement member 310 increases the contact area through the curved surface design, thereby evenly distributing the supporting force, reducing stress concentration, and further reducing the local deformation between the first reinforcement member 310 and the seat crossbeam 200.

[0040] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4As shown, a second groove 220 extending along a first direction is provided on a side of the seat cross member 200 facing away from the vehicle bottom.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second groove 220 provided on the side of the seat cross member 200 facing away from the vehicle bottom effectively guides and distributes loads under external forces, reduces localized stress concentration, and controls the overall deformation path of the seat cross member 200. By changing the cross-sectional structure of the seat cross member 200, its bending and torsional resistance in side collisions is improved, reducing the risk of significant deformation of the seat cross member 200.

[0042] Further, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of first through holes 221 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall of the second groove 220 .

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of first through-holes 221 are spaced apart in the bottom wall of the second groove 220. This allows the seat cross beam 200 to bend and deform in response to stress, concentrating on the first through-holes 221 and thus controlling the deformation area. This design limits deformation to the first through-holes 221 in the bottom wall of the second groove 220, preventing stress from spreading to other parts of the seat cross beam 200. Furthermore, by confining deformation to a specific area, structural damage to other parts of the seat cross beam 200 is minimized, improving the rigidity and deformation resistance of the seat cross beam 200 in side collisions, and thus reducing potential injury to occupants.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second reinforcement member 320 extending along the first direction is provided above the second groove 220 .

[0045] In this embodiment, a second reinforcement member 320 extending in the first direction is disposed above the second groove 220. The second reinforcement member 320 provides additional support for the seat cross member 200, improving its bending and torsional rigidity. The provision of the second reinforcement member 320 further optimizes the load-bearing structure of the seat cross member 200 and reduces the possibility of structural deformation.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle body structure further includes a third reinforcement member 330 , which connects the rocker beam 100 and the seat cross member 200 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the third reinforcing member 330 connects the sill beam 100 and the seat crossbeam 200, increasing the force conduction path and the force-bearing area. During a side collision, the collision force is effectively transmitted from the sill beam 100 to the seat crossbeam 200 through the third reinforcing member 330, dispersing the local stress concentration and preventing a single structure from bearing excessive loads. In this embodiment, through this structural design, the overall force on the vehicle body during a collision is more uniform, reducing the deformation amplitude of the seat crossbeam 200 and the sill beam 100, enhancing the anti-deformation ability of the vehicle body structure, and thus reducing the intrusion risk of the occupant compartment.

[0048] Further, in one embodiment, at least a part of the third reinforcing member 330 is recessed toward the seat crossbeam 200; and / or, a plurality of second through holes 331 are provided on the surface of the third reinforcing member 330.

[0049] In this embodiment, the design that at least a part of the third reinforcing member 330 is recessed toward the seat crossbeam 200 optimizes the force transmission path by increasing the contact area between the third reinforcing member 330 and the seat crossbeam 200. During a side collision, the external force is transmitted to the third reinforcing member 330 through the sill beam 100, and the plurality of second through holes 331 provided on the surface of the third reinforcing member 330 can guide local deformation, control the stress concentration area, prevent stress from spreading to other parts, and thus improve the torsional resistance of the seat crossbeam 200.

[0050] Further, in one embodiment, the third reinforcing member 330 is threadedly connected to the seat crossbeam 200 and the sill beam 100 respectively.

[0051] In this embodiment, the third reinforcing member 330 is respectively fixed to the seat crossbeam 200 and the sill beam 100 by threaded connections. The threaded connection structure enhances the connection strength between the third reinforcing member 330 and the seat crossbeam 200 and the sill beam 100, ensuring the stable transmission of force during a collision. During a side collision, the external force can be effectively transmitted from the sill beam 100 to the seat crossbeam 200 through the third reinforcing member 330, reducing the local stress concentration, thereby enhancing the anti-deformation ability of the vehicle body structure and reducing the intrusion amount of the occupant compartment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the interior of the sill beam 100 is a hollow cavity structure.

[0053] In this embodiment, the hollow cavity structure of the sill beam 100 provides a buffering effect by utilizing the internal space of the cavity, which can absorb part of the energy in a side collision and reduce the intensity of the external collision force directly transmitted to the external structure of the sill beam 100. The hollow cavity structure further helps to alleviate the instantaneous deformation of the sill beam 100, optimize the force conduction path, and reduce the risk of bending or compressive deformation of the sill beam 100 during a collision. Through the design solution in this embodiment, the anti-deformation ability of the vehicle body structure is enhanced, which helps to control the intrusion amount of the occupant compartment in a side collision, thereby improving the protection of the occupants.

[0054] This application also proposes a vehicle, which includes the vehicle body structure described above.

[0055] In this embodiment, after the above-mentioned vehicle body structure is installed in the vehicle, during a side collision, the vehicle body structure can effectively disperse the external force, reduce local stress concentration, and further reduce the deformation amplitude of the seat cross beam 200 and the sill beam 100, thereby reducing the intrusion amount into the occupant compartment and improving the safety protection effect for the occupants.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0057] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
