[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a side panel assembly that can be applied to the side panel of a vehicle. The provided side panel assembly includes an optional portion and a universal portion 100 .

[0040] Among them, there are multiple types of selection parts with different structures. The general part 100 can be spliced and connected with each type of selection part to form side outer panels with different shapes, so as to be adapted to vehicles of different models. Optionally, the general part 100 and the selection part can be fixedly connected by welding. When the number of selection parts is multiple, the general part 100 can be fixedly connected with the selection part and adjacent selection parts by welding.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the integral side outer panel in the prior art is designed to be a segmented structure including a general part 100 and a selection part. The general part 100 among them can be adapted to multiple different models, so that multiple different models share the general part 100 with the same structure. According to different models, different selection parts are selected and connected with the general part 100 to form different side outer panels, which are adapted to vehicles of different models, thereby improving the part sharing rate of the side outer panels and side walls applied to vehicles of different models. When it is necessary to produce side walls of vehicles of different models, only new molds need to be developed for the changed selection parts for the side outer panels, reducing the mold development cost. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application can solve the problem of high mold development cost required for producing side walls of vehicles of multiple models in the prior art.

[0042] Of course, when the side outer panel assembly is applied to vehicles of different models, the part sharing rate of different models can be improved. It should be noted that the different models in the embodiment of the present application can refer to different sub-models of the same vehicle model, or different vehicle models of different vehicle models.

[0043] The selection part can include a first selection part for cooperating with the vehicle roof and a second selection part for cooperating with the vehicle body frame. Both the first selection part and the second selection part can include multiple structures. In this case, more types of side outer panels with different shapes can be spliced and formed.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the selection part can be a split structure formed by splicing any first selection part and any second selection part. That is to say, the first selection part and the second selection part are split structures. After the first selection part and the second selection part are processed, they are spliced and connected by methods such as welding to form the selection part. In this case, it is convenient for the processing of multiple first selection parts and multiple second selection parts.

[0045] In another optional embodiment, the selection part can be an integral structure formed by any first selection part and any second selection part. In other words, the selection part is an integrally formed integral structure. The selection part includes two regions, namely the first selection part and the second selection part.

[0046] The multiple first selected parts may include a convertible top selected part for matching with a convertible top, and the convertible top selected part may include multiple types with different lengths. In this case, the outer side panel assembly can be adapted to convertible tops with different lengths.

[0047] The multiple first selected parts may include a fixed roof selected part for matching with a fixed roof, and the fixed roof selected part may include multiple types with different lengths. In this case, the outer side panel assembly can be adapted to fixed roofs with different lengths.

[0048] The second selected parts may include multiple types with different lengths. In this case, the outer side panel assembly can be adapted to body frames with different lengths.

[0049] The general part 100 and the selected parts may be arranged along the length direction of the outer side panel, and the first selected part and the second selected part may be arranged along the height direction of the outer side panel. In this structure, changes in the lengths of the first selected part and the second selected part will both result in changes in the length of the outer side panel, so the lengths of the first selected part and the second selected part need to be coordinated with each other for adaptive adjustment.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the general part 100 may be the front and rear door opening areas, with two door openings, and the two door openings are distributed along the length direction of the outer side panel. The first selected part may be the rear window frame area. When the first selected part is the convertible top selected part, the rear window frame area may be the rear triangular window frame area; when the first selected part is the fixed roof selected part, the rear window frame area may be the rear quadrilateral window frame area. The second selected part may be the rear fender area, and the second selected part may be provided with an avoidance notch 410 for avoiding the wheels. It should be noted that the length direction of the outer side panel is consistent with the length direction of the vehicle.

[0051] The end of the general part 100 may overlap with the end of the selected part and be connected by welding. When the number of selected parts is multiple, the ends of two adjacent selected parts may also overlap and be connected by welding. In this case, the contact area between the general part 100 and the selected part, and between the selected parts can be increased, thereby improving the connection strength and further enhancing the structural strength of the outer side panel.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the fixed roof selected part in the first selected part may include a first sub-selected part 210, and the first sub-selected part 210 can be cooperatively connected with a second selected part that is adapted to its length; the convertible top selected part in the first selected part may include a second sub-selected part 220 and a third sub-selected part 230. The length of the second sub-selected part 220 is less than the length of the third sub-selected part 230, and the second sub-selected part 220 and the third sub-selected part 230 are respectively cooperated with second selected parts of different lengths.

[0053] The second selection part may include a fourth sub-selection part 310 and a fifth sub-selection part 320, and the length of the fourth sub-selection part 310 may be less than the length of the fifth sub-selection part 320.

[0054] Different splicing methods of the general part 100, the first sub-selection part 210, the second sub-selection part 220, the third sub-selection part 230, the fourth sub-selection part 310 and the fifth sub-selection part 320 may form different outer side panels.

[0055] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the general part 100, the first sub-selection part 210 and the fourth sub-selection part 310 may be spliced to form an outer side panel of a vehicle with a short wheelbase (such as 4*4, four-wheel drive) and a fixed roof.

[0056] As Figure 2 shown, the general part 100, the second sub-selection part 220 and the fourth sub-selection part 310 may be spliced to form an outer side panel of a vehicle with a short wheelbase (such as 4*4, four-wheel drive) and a convertible roof.

[0057] As Figure 3 shown, the general part 100, the third sub-selection part 230 and the fifth sub-selection part 320 may be spliced to form an outer side panel of a vehicle with a long wheelbase (such as 6*6, six-wheel drive) and a convertible roof.

[0058] It should be noted that the short wheelbase may refer to a four-wheel drive vehicle, and the long wheelbase may refer to a six-wheel drive vehicle.

[0059] As Figure 4 shown, the general part 100 may have two through holes, and the two through holes may be distributed along the length direction to form two door openings. One side of the general part 100 adjacent to the selection part may be provided with an edge notch 110, and the edge notch 110 is used to cooperate and splice with the edge protrusion 420 of the second selection part, and the shapes of the edge notch 110 and the edge protrusion 420 are adapted to each other.

[0060] As Figure 5 shown, the first sub-selection part 210 may be provided with a quadrilateral through hole, and the corners of the quadrilateral through hole have chamfers. The quadrilateral through hole is used for installing the rear window frame, and the number of the quadrilateral through holes may be one. The first sub-selection part 210 may be rectangular or trapezoidal, such as a right trapezoid. In the case where the first sub-selection part 210 is a right trapezoid, the difference in the lengths of the upper base and the lower base (dimensions along the length direction) of the first sub-selection part 210 may be the first difference.

[0061] As Figure 6As shown, the second sub-selection part 220 may be provided with a triangular through-hole. The corners of the triangular through-hole have chamfers. The triangular through-hole is used for installing the rear window frame, and the number of the triangular through-holes may be one. The second sub-selection part 220 may be trapezoidal, such as a right trapezoid. In the case where the second sub-selection part 220 is a right trapezoid, the length difference between the upper base and the lower base of the second sub-selection part 220 may be the second difference, and the second difference may be greater than the first difference.

[0062] As Figure 7 shown, the third sub-selection part 230 may be provided with a plurality of through-holes. The plurality of through-holes are distributed along the length direction. The plurality of through-holes may include triangular through-holes and / or quadrilateral through-holes, which are used for installing the rear window frame. The third sub-selection part 230 may be trapezoidal, such as a right trapezoid.

[0063] As Figure 8 shown, the fourth sub-selection part 310 is provided with an avoidance notch 410. The fourth sub-selection part 310 includes an edge protrusion 420. The edge protrusion 420 assists in enclosing the avoidance notch 410, and the shape of the edge protrusion 420 is adapted to the shape of the edge notch 110.

[0064] As Figure 9 shown, the fifth sub-selection part 320 is provided with an avoidance notch 410. The fifth sub-selection part 320 includes an edge protrusion 420. The edge protrusion 420 assists in enclosing the avoidance notch 410, and the shape of the edge protrusion 420 is adapted to the shape of the edge notch 110. The length of the fifth sub-selection part 320 is greater than the length of the fourth sub-selection part 310.

[0065] As Figure 10 shown, Figure 10 is a kind of outer side panel formed by connecting the general part 100, the first sub-selection part 210 and the fourth sub-selection part 310.

[0066] As Figure 11 shown, the A-A part therein is a cross-sectional view of the connection position between the general part 100 and the first sub-selection part 210. The edges of the two overlap, and the connection part between the general part 100 and the first sub-selection part 210 may be a bent structure to enhance the structural strength.

[0067] The B-B part therein is a cross-sectional view of the connection position between the first sub-selection part 210 and the fourth sub-selection part 310. The edges of the two overlap, and the connection part of the fourth sub-selection part 310 used to connect the first sub-selection part 210 may be a bent structure to enhance the structural strength.

[0068] The C-C part therein is a cross-sectional view of the connection position between the general part 100 and the fourth sub-selection part 310. The edges of the two overlap, and the connection part between the general part 100 and the fourth sub-selection part 310 may be a bent structure to enhance the structural strength.
