[0032] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle body of the disclosed embodiment includes a support column 1 and a rear roof cross beam 2. The end of the rear roof cross beam 2 overlaps the top of the support column 1 to form a hinge mounting portion 3. The hinge mounting portion 3 is provided for mounting a tailgate hinge 8.
[0034] The vehicle body of the disclosed embodiment forms a hinge mounting portion 3 by overlapping the end of the rear roof cross member 2 with the top of the support pillar 1. This provides hinge mounting portion 3 with good rigidity for mounting the tailgate hinge 8. Furthermore, by locating hinge mounting portion 3 at the end of the rear roof cross member 2, the tailgate is less likely to interfere with the roof during opening and closing, thereby enabling the roof design to better meet user needs.
[0035] Therefore, when the roof shape meets user needs, the risk of interference with the roof when the vehicle tailgate is opened or closed can be reduced.
[0036] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hinge mounting portion 3 is provided with a mounting hole 31 for mounting the tailgate hinge 8 .
[0037] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tailgate hinge 8 is connected to the hinge mounting portion 3 by a bolt 9 and a nut 10. The bolt 9 passes through the fixing hole and the mounting hole 31 of the tailgate hinge 8 and is connected to the nut 10 to achieve the installation and fixation of the tailgate hinge 8.
[0038] By providing the mounting hole 31 on the hinge mounting portion 3 , the tailgate hinge 8 can be mounted and fixed by fasteners, thereby facilitating the mounting and fixing of the tailgate hinge 8 .
[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the hinge mounting portion 3 may not be provided with the mounting hole 31 . In this case, the tailgate hinge 8 and the hinge mounting portion 3 may be welded or bonded.
[0040] Optionally, the end of the rear roof beam 2 is welded to the top of the support pillar 1 .
[0041] The end of the rear roof cross beam 2 is welded to the top of the support column 1, which can improve the connection reliability between the rear roof cross beam 2 and the support column 1, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle body.
[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the end of the rear roof beam 2 and the top of the support column 1 may also be bonded or connected by fasteners, which may be bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
[0043] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle body also includes a body side 4 and a tailgate drain channel 5. The body side 4 is connected to the support pillar 1. The tailgate drain channel 5 includes a side connection portion 511 and a crossbeam connection portion 521. The side connection portion 511 overlaps the body side 4, and the crossbeam connection portion 521 overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3. The mounting hole 31 extends through the crossbeam connection portion 521.
[0044] By overlapping the crossbeam connection portion 521 of the tailgate drain groove 5 with the hinge mounting portion 3, the rigidity of the hinge mounting portion 3 can be further improved, and the rigidity of the vehicle body and the connection reliability between the tailgate hinge 8 and the hinge mounting portion 3 can be improved.

[0049] Optionally, the beam connecting portion 521 is welded to the hinge mounting portion 3 .
[0050] For example, the cross member connecting portion 521 is welded to the rear cross member 2 of the roof.
[0051] The cross beam connection portion 521 is welded to the hinge mounting portion 3 , which can improve the connection reliability between the cross beam connection portion 521 and the hinge mounting portion 3 , thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle body.
[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the crossbeam connecting portion 521 and the hinge mounting portion 3 may also be bonded or connected via fasteners, which may be bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
[0053] In the related art, the tailgate drain groove and the vehicle body side panel are overlapped along the height direction of the vehicle body. In this case, the connection between the tailgate drain groove and the vehicle body side panel needs to occupy more space in the width direction of the vehicle body.
[0054] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tailgate drainage groove 5 includes a first plate body 51 and a second plate body 52 connected in sequence, the first plate body 51 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body, the second plate body 52 extends along the width direction of the vehicle body, the side panel connection part 511 is provided on the first plate body 51, and the cross beam connection part 521 is provided on the second plate body 52.
[0055] By setting the tailgate drainage groove 5 to include a first plate body 51 and a second plate body 52 connected in sequence, the side panel connection part 511 is set on the first plate body 51, and the cross beam connection part 521 is set on the second plate body 52, on the one hand, the structure of the tailgate drainage groove 5 is simplified, the processing and manufacturing of the tailgate drainage groove 5 is convenient, and it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle body; on the other hand, the hinge mounting part 3 and the vehicle body side panel 4 are overlapped along the width direction of the vehicle body, and the connection between the hinge mounting part 3 and the vehicle body side panel 4 occupies less space in the width direction of the vehicle body, so that the hinge mounting part 3 is set closer to the outside of the vehicle body side panel 4, and thus it is less likely to interfere with the roof during the opening and closing process of the vehicle tailgate, and the roof shape can better meet user needs.
[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the tailgate drain channel 5 may include three or more plates connected in sequence, with the side panel connection portion 511 and the crossbeam connection portion 521 respectively provided on two plates located on either side. In this case, the tailgate drain channel and the vehicle body side panel overlap along the height direction of the vehicle body.
[0057] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle body side 4 includes a side outer panel 41 , which includes an outer panel body 411 and a flange 412 connected in sequence. The flange 412 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the side connection portion 511 overlaps the flange 412 .
[0058] By setting the side outer panel 41 to include an outer panel body 411 and a flange 412 connected in sequence, the flange 412 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the side connection part 511 overlaps the flange 412. On the one hand, the structure of the side outer panel 41 is simplified, the processing and manufacturing of the side outer panel 41 is facilitated, and it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle body; on the other hand, the hinge mounting part 3 is arranged closer to the outer side of the vehicle body side panel 4, which makes it less likely to interfere with the roof during the opening and closing of the vehicle tailgate, and the roof shape can better meet user needs.
[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle body further includes a hinge reinforcement plate 6, at least a portion of which overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3. The mounting hole 31 passes through the hinge reinforcement plate 6.
[0060] At least a portion of the hinge reinforcement plate 6 overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3, which can be understood as: a portion of the hinge reinforcement plate 6 overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3, and another portion of the hinge reinforcement plate 6 does not overlap the hinge mounting portion 3; or, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 as a whole overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3.
[0061] By providing a hinge reinforcement plate 6 and overlapping at least a portion of the hinge reinforcement plate 6 with the hinge mounting portion 3, the rigidity of the hinge mounting portion 3 can be further improved, and the rigidity of the vehicle body and the connection reliability between the tailgate hinge 8 and the hinge mounting portion 3 can be improved.
[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 may not be provided.
[0063] Optionally, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 is welded to the hinge mounting portion 3 .
[0064] For example, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 is welded to the support column 1 .
[0065] The hinge reinforcement plate 6 is welded to the hinge mounting portion 3 , which can improve the connection reliability between the hinge reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge mounting portion 3 , thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle body.
[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 and the hinge mounting portion 3 may also be bonded or connected via fasteners, which may be bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
[0067] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 includes a first reinforcement portion 61, a second reinforcement portion 62, and a third reinforcement portion 63. The first reinforcement portion 61 overlaps the hinge mounting portion 3. The support pillar 1 includes a support pillar reinforcement plate 11 and a support pillar inner plate 12. The roof rear cross member 2 includes a first beam body 21 and a second beam body 22, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the vehicle body. The end of the first beam body 21 overlaps the top of the support pillar reinforcement plate 11, the second reinforcement portion 62 overlaps the support pillar inner plate 12, and the third reinforcement portion 63 overlaps the second beam body 22.
[0068] By configuring the hinge reinforcement plate 6 to include the first reinforcement portion 61, the second reinforcement portion 62, and the third reinforcement portion 63, with the second reinforcement portion 62 overlapping the support pillar inner panel 12 and the third reinforcement portion 63 overlapping the second beam body 22, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 can better strengthen the connection between the support pillar 1 and the rear roof cross member 2, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the vehicle body.
[0069] Optionally, the second reinforcement portion 62 is welded to the support pillar inner panel 12 .
[0070] The second reinforcement portion 62 is welded to the support pillar inner panel 12 , which can improve the connection reliability between the second reinforcement portion 62 and the support pillar inner panel 12 , thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle body.
[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the second reinforcement portion 62 and the support column inner plate 12 may also be bonded or connected via fasteners, which may be bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
[0072] Optionally, the third reinforcement portion 63 is welded to the second beam body 22 .
[0073] The third reinforcement portion 63 is welded to the second beam body 22 , which can improve the connection reliability between the third reinforcement portion 63 and the second beam body 22 , thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle body.
[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the third reinforcement portion 63 and the second beam body 22 may also be bonded or connected via fasteners, which may be bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
[0075] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the hinge reinforcement plate 6 further includes a first connection portion 64 and a second connection portion 65 . The first reinforcement portion 61 is connected to the second reinforcement portion 62 via the first connection portion 64 , and the third reinforcement portion 63 is connected to the first reinforcement portion 61 via the second connection portion 65 .
[0076] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first reinforcement portion 61, the second reinforcement portion 62, and the third reinforcement portion 63 all extend in the width direction of the vehicle body, and the first connecting portion 64 and the second connecting portion 65 both extend in the height direction of the vehicle body. The second reinforcement portion 62, the first connecting portion 64, the first reinforcement portion 61, the second connecting portion 65, and the third reinforcement portion 63 are sequentially connected, so that the cross-section of the hinge reinforcement plate 6 forms a cross-shaped cross.
[0077] The hinge reinforcement plate 6 is configured as the above structure, which can better strengthen the connection between the support column 1 and the rear cross beam 2 of the roof, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the vehicle body.
[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, a first cavity is formed between the hinge reinforcement plate 6 and the support column inner plate 12. The support column inner plate 12 has a first opening 121 that communicates with the first cavity. When installing the tailgate hinge 8, a tool can be inserted into the first cavity through the first opening 121 and used to tighten the nut 10, thereby connecting the nut 10 to the bolt 9.
