Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of automobile structural reinforcements, and specifically relates to a structural reinforcement. Background Art

[0002] In the current new energy vehicle market, in order to achieve long driving range, car manufacturers have lower and lower requirements for the vehicle's own weight when designing cars. The requirements can only be met by reducing the thickness of sheet metal, but while reducing the thickness of sheet metal, its strength and safety performance need to be guaranteed; then structural reinforcements are used instead of sheet metal. Due to the material properties of the structural reinforcements themselves, the strength can only be met by thickening or increasing them; the current structural reinforcement designs are all triangles, diamonds, and rectangles inside, and the combination of these shapes will bring certain difficulties to the mold, and thin iron is prone to appear. This shape has a small area and uses a lot of materials, which cannot meet the further weight reduction needs of the existing market.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Patent Document 221340804U discloses a structural reinforcement and an automobile. The reinforcement comprises a first metal structural member for insertion into a door pillar and a second metal structural member for insertion into a rocker beam. This improves the structural strength of the door pillar and rocker beam during an offset collision. The reinforcement also includes an expansion layer and a thermoplastic layer wrapped around each metal structural member, but this does not address the aforementioned issues.

[0006] The structural reinforcement provided by the present invention may also have the following feature: the first support frame is hexagonal in shape.

[0007] The structural reinforcement provided by the present invention may also have the following feature: the second support frame is circular.

[0008] The structural reinforcement provided by the present invention may also have the following feature: the foaming layer is filled in the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0009] The structural reinforcement provided by the present invention may also have such a feature that connecting buckles are provided on both sides of the frame.

[0010] The technical effect of the utility model is: the structural reinforcement provided by the utility model includes a skeleton and a foaming layer, a support frame structure is provided in the skeleton, the support frame structure can enhance the structural strength of the skeleton, the foaming layer is filled in the skeleton, and the foaming layer is squeezed into between the support frame structure and the skeleton structure through the foaming material. After foaming, a foaming layer is formed, which further improves the structural strength of the skeleton and can meet the lightweight requirements of the vehicle body.

[0011] Therefore, the structural reinforcement provided by the present invention can meet the requirements of lightweight vehicle body while further improving the structural strength of the vehicle body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] This manual includes the following drawings, which show the following contents:

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the structural reinforcement provided by the present invention includes a skeleton 10 and a foaming layer 20. A support frame structure 11 is provided in the skeleton 10, and the support frame structure 11 can enhance the structural strength of the skeleton 10. The foaming layer 20 is filled in the skeleton 10. The foaming layer 20 is squeezed into between the support frame structure 11 and the skeleton 10 through the foaming material. After foaming, the foaming layer 20 is formed, which further improves the structural strength of the skeleton 10 and can meet the lightweight requirements of the vehicle body. The structural reinforcement provided by the present invention can meet the lightweight requirements of the vehicle body while further improving the structural strength of the vehicle body.

[0018] The support frame structure 11 includes a first support frame 111 and a second support frame 112. Figure 1As shown, the first support frame 111 is a hexagonal structure, which has the highest tightness, requires the least material, and can fill the largest space.
