Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the automobile body structure includes: a back door frame assembly 1, a left side panel assembly 3, a right side panel assembly 3, a lower body assembly 4 and a top cover assembly 2. The back door frame assembly 1 includes a back door frame 11 and a top cover rear cross beam 22. The back door frame 11 is an integral stamped frame structure. During the frame assembly process, the back door frame 11 and the top cover rear cross beam 22 are positioned by a fixture and then welded and connected in an inverted L shape. The two sides of the back door frame assembly 1 are respectively slidably overlapped with the left side panel assembly 3 and the right side panel assembly 3 and then positioned by a fixture and then welded and fixed. Among them, the top end of the left side panel assembly 3 and the top end of the right side panel assembly 3 are respectively slidably overlapped with the top cover rear cross beam 22 and positioned by a fixture and then welded; the bottom of the back door frame assembly 1 is positioned by a fixture and then welded to the lower body assembly 4. Finally, the top cover assembly 2 and the top cover front cross beam 21 are welded. The welding method can be metal welding or other welding methods, and the material can be metal or non-metallic material.
[0067] In the above technical solution, the method of sliding overlap followed by welding is adopted, which can reduce the accumulation of welding dimensional tolerances and ensure the size of the white body's back door frame. After the sealing strip is installed on the back door frame, the matching deviation between the back door frame and the back door is small, which will not cause the back door to leak or external noise to be transmitted into the car, thereby improving the driving experience.
[0068] Please continue reading Figures 2 to 8 The back door frame assembly 1 includes a back door frame 11 and a rear cross beam 22 of the top cover. The back door frame 11 is an integrally stamped frame structure.
[0069] Among them, the back door frame 11 includes a back door frame main body 110 and two first welding parts 52 extending from the two sides of the back door frame main body 110 close to the top cover assembly 2. The first welding parts 52 are located in the area where the left and right sides of the back door frame 11 overlap with the left side panel assembly 3 and the right side panel assembly 3.
[0070] The left side panel assembly 3 and the right side panel assembly 3 both include a side panel inner panel 34 and a side panel outer panel 32. The side panel inner panel 34 is located at the inner edge of the left side panel assembly 3 or the right side panel assembly 3.

The outer shape is an irregular arc with a raised structure, and can be formed by stamping or other methods.
[0071] The side panel outer panel 32 is provided with an inner folding structure on the edge facing the rear of the vehicle and is connected to the side panel inner panel 34 and welded to form the left side panel assembly 3 and the right side outer panel assembly 3. The side panel inner panel 34 is provided with a side panel inner panel overlapping area 342. The side panel inner panel overlapping area 342 is located on the side of the welding boss 1107 of the side panel inner panel 34 close to the back door frame 11. The side panel outer panel 32 is provided with a side panel outer panel overlapping area 322 located on the inner folding surface of the side of the side panel outer panel 32 close to the side panel inner panel 34.
[0072] Please continue reading Figure 5 and Figure 6 The area where the inner surface of the back door frame 11 facing the front of the vehicle contacts the overlapping area 342 of the side inner panel 34 is the first overlapping area 62, and the area where the inner surface of the back door frame 11 facing the front of the vehicle contacts the overlapping area 322 of the side outer panel 32 is the second overlapping area 64. There is a height difference between the first overlapping area 62 and the second overlapping area 64, and the height difference can match the height difference between the overlapping positions of the side outer panel overlapping area 322 and the side inner panel overlapping area 342.
[0073] The side inner panel overlap area 342 and the first overlap area 62 are slidably overlapped and then welded, and the side outer panel overlap area 322 and the second overlap area 64 are slidably overlapped and welded. The welding method can be metal welding or other welding methods, and the material can be metal material or non-metal material.
[0074] In the above technical solution, the left side panel assembly 3, the right side panel assembly 3 and the back door frame 11 are slidably overlapped and then positioned by a fixture and then welded, which can avoid the problem of large dimensional deviation after welding caused by the accumulation of dimensional tolerances of previous components.
[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a back door frame inner flange 1101 is provided at the inner edge of the back door frame 11. The back door frame inner flange 1101 is located in a circular distribution on the inner edge of the back door frame 11 and is bent toward the rear of the vehicle. The edge of the back door frame inner flange 1101 is smooth without sharp corners. The back door frame inner flange 1101 can be used to install a rear vehicle transparent window or other devices.
[0076] In the above technical solution, a back door frame inner flange 1101 structure is provided at the inner edge of the back door frame 11, which can resist distortion, and can well position the components during installation, and is more beautiful.
[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the left side panel assembly 3 and the right side panel assembly 3 are both provided with a plurality of process through holes 346. The process through holes 346 are arranged on the side panel inner panel overlap area 342 and are located between the side panel inner panel overlap area 342 and the side panel outer panel overlap area 322. The number of process through holes 346 is irregular in shape and can be formed by stamping or other methods. The material can be metal or non-metallic material.
[0078] In the above technical solution, the process through holes 346 provided in the left side panel assembly 3 and the right side panel assembly 3 can reduce weight, facilitate welding by punching with a welding gun, disperse the internal stress generated by stamping, and facilitate welding and assembly processes.
[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the side panel outer panel overlap area 322 is provided with a plurality of spaced welding points 1104. During the assembly process of the left side panel assembly 3, the right side panel assembly 3 and the back door frame assembly 1, the side panel outer panel overlap area 322 and the second overlap area 64 are slid and overlapped to a predetermined position. After the fixture is positioned, the side panel outer panel overlap area 322 and the second overlap area 64 are welded together. The welding method can be metal welding or other welding methods.
[0080] In the above technical solution, the sliding overlap absorbs the accumulated component dimensional tolerances caused by the previous process, and overlaps and fits the two components by overlapping. There is no conflicting part between the two components. Under the clamping of the tooling fixture, multiple points are welded to fix the designed process dimensions with high dimensional accuracy.
[0081] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the roof rear cross beam 22 includes a roof rear cross beam upper portion 221 and a roof rear cross beam lower portion 222 .
[0082] The upper portion 221 of the roof's rear crossbeam is a concave sheet-like structure. Its sides, facing both the front and rear, are curved, with straight edges at both ends. The area between the front and rear edges is recessed toward the vehicle's bottom and features multiple grids parallel to the vehicle's forward direction, which helps reduce the weight of the roof. The rearward edge of the upper portion 221 features a stamped flange structure 2211, which connects to the tailgate frame 11.
[0083] The cross section of the lower part 222 of the rear cross beam of the top cover is L-shaped, and its long side of the L is provided with multiple through holes and a lower groove parallel to its short side of the L; the short side of the L-shaped lower part 222 of the rear cross beam of the top cover and the bottom edge of the upper part 221 of the rear cross beam of the top cover facing the front of the vehicle are welded after being positioned by a tooling fixture to form the rear cross beam of the top cover 22, and the cross section of the rear cross beam of the top cover 22 is groove-shaped.
[0084] In order to achieve rapid assembly of the rear cross beam 22 of the top cover and the back door frame 11, the back door frame 11 is provided with a welding boss 1107 and a lap joint 1103 at the edge of the boss. The welding boss 1107 and the lap joint 1103 at the edge of the welding boss 1107 are located in the second welding portion 54 area. The welding boss 1107 is a lower convex area located in the middle of the top cross frame of the back door frame 11. The welding boss of the back door frame 11 is welded to the lower part 222 of the rear cross beam of the top cover.
[0085] The overlap portion 1103 is a raised arc-shaped structure located on the upper edge of the back door frame 11 facing the front of the vehicle. The overlap portion 1103 of the back door frame 11 is welded to the flange structure 2211 of the rear cross beam 22 of the top cover. By welding the two welding structures with a height difference, the boss 1107 and the overlap portion 1103, the overall welding of the back door frame assembly 1 is achieved, which can ensure the overall structural strength of the back door frame assembly 1, speed up the process assembly convenience of the back door frame assembly 1, and improve production efficiency. In some embodiments, the components of the rear cross beam 22 of the top cover and the back door frame 11 can be formed by stamping or other methods, and the materials can be metal materials or non-metal materials. The welding method can be metal welding or other welding methods. For example, the back door frame 11 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.
[0086] In the above technical solution, the back door frame 11 is provided with a welding boss 1107 and an overlapping portion 1103 on the edge of the boss, which is beneficial to the accuracy and firmness of the welding between the back door frame 11 and the rear cross beam 22 of the top cover. At the same time, a process reserve is made for the welding of the back door frame assembly 1 and the vehicle side assembly, thereby improving the frame welding dimensional accuracy.
[0087] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the tailgate frame 11 is provided with a left D-pillar reinforcement portion 1105 and a right D-pillar reinforcement portion 1106. The left D-pillar reinforcement portion 1105 and the right D-pillar reinforcement portion 1106 are wing-shaped structures extending outward from both sides of the tailgate frame main body close to the lower body assembly 4 and bending inward. A window is provided at the upper and lower ends of the wing-shaped structures of the left D-pillar reinforcement portion 1105 and the right D-pillar reinforcement portion 1106 for installing car lights.
[0088] The tailgate frame 11 also features a rear skirt reinforcement 1102 extending downward from the bottom of the main body of the tailgate frame 11. This is located in the middle of the bottom of the lower frame of the tailgate frame 11, aligning with the license plate mounting area. W-shaped ribs are incorporated into the rear skirt reinforcement 1102. The left and right D-pillar reinforcements 1105 and 1106, as well as the rear skirt reinforcement 1102, can be made of metal or non-metallic materials and can be formed by stamping or other methods.
[0089] In the above technical solution, the left D-pillar reinforcement 1105 and the right D-pillar reinforcement 1106 enhance the strength of the D-pillar, and the two wings are provided with lamp mounting positions, which enriches the use of the component; the structure of the rear skirt reinforcement 1102 enhances the strength of the bottom of the back door frame 11, integrates the license plate installation position requirements, and does not affect the aesthetics of the vehicle.
[0090] Furthermore, if Figure 2As shown, the tailgate frame 11 also includes a third welding portion 56 extending from the bottom end of the main body of the tailgate frame 11 toward the ground. The third welding portion 56 is located at the rear skirt reinforcement portion 1102 and the left and right extension areas of the rear skirt reinforcement portion 1102. The third welding portion 56 of the tailgate frame 11 is welded to the lower body assembly 4. The welding method can be metal welding or other welding methods.
[0091] In the above technical solution, the third weld 56, the two first welds 52 extending from the sides of the back door frame assembly 1, and the second weld 54 extending from the top of the back door frame assembly 1 to the sides together form a complete weld ring, which has high weld strength and is relatively strong.
