When developing vehicles, R&D personnel primarily consider the strength of the vehicle's structure and how it can best protect passengers and mitigate injuries during driving.
[0003] During a collision, a car relies primarily on longitudinal beams to crush and absorb energy in the initial stage. If the front longitudinal beams and other structures are not strong enough, the vehicle will not be fully crushed, which will increase the damage to the occupants, affecting the safety of the driver and passengers. The existing technology has the following defects:

The front longitudinal beam comprises a front longitudinal beam section and a rear longitudinal beam section. The front longitudinal beam section comprises a front half and a rear half. The front half and the rear half are welded together into one piece by laser welding. One end of the rear longitudinal beam section is connected to the front crossbeam, and the other end is provided with a bending area and connected to the front longitudinal beam section.

[0028] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention by describing the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, with the aim of helping those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical solution of the present invention and to facilitate its implementation.
[0029] It should be noted that, in the following embodiments, the "first" and "second" do not represent an absolute distinction in structure and / or function, nor do they represent a sequence of execution, but are merely for the convenience of description.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the utility model provides a vehicle body longitudinal beam, including a longitudinal beam outer panel assembly and a longitudinal beam inner panel assembly, the longitudinal beam outer panel assembly includes a front end outer panel and a rear end outer panel connected to each other, the longitudinal beam inner panel assembly includes a front end inner panel and a rear end inner panel connected to each other, the front end outer panel and the front end inner panel are arranged relative to each other and are fixedly connected, the second front end outer panel and the second front end inner panel are arranged relative to each other and are fixedly connected, a first inverted trapezoidal groove is provided on the front end outer panel, and a second groove is provided on the rear end outer panel.
[0031] Specifically, the present invention aims to address the problem of insufficient longitudinal beam strength in existing vehicles by providing a high-strength longitudinal beam structure. This high-strength longitudinal beam structure replaces the existing groove structure, designing a weak front and strong rear structure. The arc-shaped grooves absorb energy, allowing the longitudinal beam to absorb more energy. This structure can improve the strength of the vehicle body longitudinal beam and enhance the safety of vehicle occupants. It also features low manufacturing costs, excellent stability, and high strength.
[0032] Preferably, the front outer panel and the rear outer panel are arranged sequentially along the X direction (i.e., the vehicle body length direction), the rear end of the front outer panel and the front end of the rear outer panel are connected by laser welding, and a first weld is formed at the connection between the front outer panel and the rear outer panel. The front inner panel and the rear inner panel are arranged sequentially along the X direction, the rear end of the front inner panel and the front end of the rear inner panel are connected by laser welding, and a second weld is formed at the connection between the front inner panel and the rear inner panel, and the first weld and the second weld are staggered. The front outer panel and the front inner panel are arranged sequentially along the Y direction (i.e., the vehicle body width direction), and the rear outer panel and the rear inner panel are arranged sequentially along the Y direction. The projections of the first weld and the second weld on a projection plane parallel to the X direction and perpendicular to the Y direction are spaced a certain distance apart, forming a staggered arrangement.
[0033] Preferably, the distance between the first weld and the second weld is set to 55-65 mm. For example, the distance between the first weld and the second weld can be set to 56 mm, 58 mm, 60 mm, 62 mm or 64 mm.
[0034] Preferably, the front outer plate and the front inner plate are connected by welding points to form a box-shaped structure with open ends and a hollow interior. The rear outer plate and the rear inner plate are connected by welding points.
[0035] The front outer panel is designed with an inverted trapezoidal groove, 450mm long at the top, 410mm long at the bottom, 33mm deep, and 90mm high. The rear outer panel groove is 220mm long, 184mm high, and 27mm deep. This inverted trapezoidal groove absorbs energy, allowing the longitudinal beam to absorb more energy, bending and crushing in the designed bending direction to absorb external energy.
[0036] The utility model also provides a vehicle, including the vehicle body longitudinal beam of the above structure. Figures 1 to 9 Since the vehicle of the present invention includes the vehicle body longitudinal beam in the above embodiment, it has all the advantages of the above vehicle body longitudinal beam.
