Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile components, in particular to a forming support structure for an automobile C-pillar inner plate. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the rapid increase in the number of motor vehicles, road traffic accidents and the number of casualties in these accidents are also increasing rapidly. Side impact accidents are a common type of accident. A typical car body has three pillars: from front to back, the front pillar (A-pillar), the center pillar (B-pillar), and the rear pillar (C-pillar). The pillar between the windshield and the left front door is called the A-pillar. In fact, the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar of a car all have their own distinct functions, but they also have their own conflicts. For example, the conflict between the field of view and rigidity of the A-pillar, and the conflict between rigidity and convenience of the B-pillar. Because the C-pillar is located at the rear and does not obstruct the view as much, designers often make it larger. In the field of automobile manufacturing, the C-pillar is located at the junction of the rear end and the roof. It mainly withstands the impact force from the rear of the vehicle to protect the safety of rear passengers. It also supports and secures the roof and trunk. In existing automobile manufacturing, the C-pillar structure can generally be strengthened by reinforcing the inner panel of the C-pillar to improve vehicle stability.
[0003] When installing existing automobile C-pillar inner panels, they are often fixed to the automobile interior with bolts. As a result, after the automobile C-pillar inner panel is installed and connected to the automobile lining, the automobile C-pillar inner panel and the automobile lining cannot be supported. When the automobile makes a sharp turn or brakes suddenly, the rear passengers or objects suddenly collide with the automobile C-pillar inner panel and the automobile lining. Long-term or repeated collisions can easily cause the automobile C-pillar inner panel to deform, loosen and detach. After the automobile C-pillar inner panel is installed, the supporting strength is insufficient, which reduces the service life of the automobile C-pillar inner panel and requires a period of time to repair and straighten the panel. To this end, we have proposed an automobile C-pillar inner panel forming support structure to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a C-pillar inner panel forming support structure for an automobile, comprising an automobile inner panel 1,
[0022] Multiple sets of screw buttons 2 are rotatably installed on the front side of the automobile inner panel 1, and the first support rods 3 are inserted into the multiple sets of screw buttons 2 through threads. The front ends of the multiple sets of first support rods 3 are fixedly installed with hinges 4, and support assemblies are rotatably installed in the multiple sets of hinges 4. The support assemblies are fixedly connected to the vehicle body, and a connecting assembly is provided on the support assembly. This device inserts the first support rods 3 into the automobile inner panel 1 through the screw buttons 2, and connects the automobile inner panel 1 to the automobile body through the support assembly installed on the hinge 4, thereby improving the stability of the automobile inner panel 1 during installation and forming.
[0023] Furthermore, the support assembly includes two groups of second support rods 5, two groups of mounting plates 6 and brackets 7. The two groups of second support rods 5 are rotatably mounted on the hinges 4. The two groups of mounting plates 6 are hingedly mounted on the front ends of the two groups of second support rods 5. The brackets 7 are fixedly mounted on the car body. A slide groove 8 is provided in the rear end of the bracket 7. Two groups of sliders 9 are slidably installed in the slide groove 8. The front sides of the two groups of mounting plates 6 are fitted with the two groups of sliders 9. Bolts 10 are inserted into the two groups of sliders 9 and the two groups of mounting plates 6 through threads. The two groups of mounting plates 6 and the two groups of sliders 9 are fixed by bolts 10. When the car inner panel 1 drives the first support rod 3 to move forward, it drives the hinge 4 to move and rotates the two groups of second support rods 5 open. The two groups of mounting plates 6 and the two groups of sliders 9 slide in the slide groove 8, thereby supporting the car inner panel 1 and connecting it to the car body.
[0024] Furthermore, the slider 9 and the inner walls of the two groups of slide grooves 8 are both T-shaped, and the inner walls of the two groups of slide grooves 8 are adapted to the two groups of sliders 9. This structure is based on the shape of the inner walls of the two groups of slide grooves 8 and the sliders 9, so that after the two groups of mounting plates 6 are connected to the two groups of sliders 9, the two groups of sliders 9 will not detach from the slide groove 8 when pulled by external force.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes two groups of sleeves 11, which are sleeved on the two groups of second support rods 5. The two groups of sleeves 11 have connecting rods 12 rotatably installed on the opposite side, and the two groups of connecting rods 12 have sleeves 13 sleeved on the opposite end. The left and right ends of the sleeves 13 are provided with movable grooves 14, and springs 15 are installed in the two groups of movable grooves 14. When the two groups of second support rods 5 are rotated and opened on the hinges 4, the two groups of second support rods 5 drive the two groups of sleeves 11 and the two groups of connecting rods 12 to slide and unfold in the sleeves 13. The two groups of second support rods 5 are supported and connected by the sleeves 11, the two groups of connecting rods 12 and the sleeves 13, and the unfolding angle of the two groups of second support rods 5 is limited.
[0026] Furthermore, multiple groups of first support rods 3 are each installed with a fixing sleeve 16, multiple groups of third support rods 17 are annularly installed on the outer wall of the multiple groups of fixing sleeves 16, and multiple groups of third support rods 17 are each fixedly installed with a support plate 18 on the rear end thereof, and multiple groups of support plates 18 are tightly fitted with the front side of the automobile inner panel 1. When the first support rod 3 is connected to the automobile inner panel 1, this structure is fitted with the front side of the automobile inner panel 1 through the mounting plate 6, multiple groups of third support rods 17 and multiple groups of support plates 18, so that when the first support rod 3 is connected to the automobile inner panel 1, the supporting area of the automobile inner panel 1 is expanded, thereby providing situational support to the automobile inner panel 1.
[0027] Furthermore, gaskets 19 are glued to the back side of multiple groups of support plates 18, and multiple groups of gaskets 19 are made of rubber material. This structure, based on the material of the gaskets 19, avoids damage and indentation to the car inner panel 1 when the multiple groups of support plates 18 are in contact with the car inner panel 1.
[0028] Working principle: When the car inner panel 1 is installed on the car body, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple groups of mounting plates 6 are fixedly connected to multiple groups of sliders 9 in multiple groups of slide grooves 8 by bolts 10, and then the rear ends of multiple groups of first support rods 3 are rotated and connected to the car inner panel 1 through multiple groups of screw buttons 2 to push the car inner panel 1. The car inner panel 1 drives the multiple groups of first support rods 3 and multiple groups of hinges 4 to move. When the multiple groups of hinges 4 move, they drive the two groups of second support rods 5 at the front end to rotate and open. The two groups of second support rods 5 on the multiple groups of hinges 4 drive the two groups of mounting plates 6 and the two groups of sliders 9 to slide in the slide groove 8, thereby connecting the car body to the car inner panel 1 and supporting the car inner panel 1. When the first support rod 3 is connected to the car inner panel 1, the multiple groups of third support rods 17 and the multiple groups of support plates 18 installed on the fixing sleeve 16 are tightly fitted with the front side of the car inner panel 1. The above is the entire working principle of the present utility model.
