Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a vehicle body assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] VANs (vans or commercial vehicles) have sliding doors that create a large opening when opened, facilitating passenger boarding and alighting. The opening and closing of the sliding door requires a central guide rail. In existing technology, the central guide rail of the sliding door is usually fully exposed or covered by a decorative panel. However, a fully exposed central guide rail affects the aesthetics of the vehicle and provides a poor user experience. Covering the central guide rail with a decorative panel is more expensive and increases the overall cost of the vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a vehicle body assembly and a vehicle to solve the problem in the prior art that the central guide rail of a VAN is completely exposed, which affects the user experience, but using a decorative panel to cover the central guide rail increases the overall cost of the vehicle.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A vehicle body assembly, comprising:
[0006] A central guide rail having a groove, the central guide rail comprising a first part and a second part distributed along the height direction;
[0007] The side panel has a center guide rail mounting groove and a glass mounting groove. Along the height direction, at least the upper part of the center guide rail mounting groove is located in the glass mounting groove. The center guide rail is disposed in the center guide rail mounting groove, and the groove opening of the sliding groove and the groove opening of the center guide rail mounting groove face the same direction.
[0008] The side window glass is disposed in the glass mounting groove. The area of the side window glass near the central guide rail is an opaque area, which is blocked on the outside of the first part.
[0009] Optionally, along the height direction, the height of the first part is greater than or equal to the height of the second part.
[0010] Optionally, the middle guide rail does not protrude from the middle guide rail mounting groove.
[0011] Optionally, the side panel includes an inner side panel, an outer side panel, and mounting components, wherein:
[0012] The outer side panel has an opening, and the mounting component includes a groove-shaped structure. The groove end of the mounting component is connected to the opening to form the middle guide rail mounting groove.
[0013] The inner side panel and the outer side panel are connected to form a clearance space that avoids the mounting groove of the middle guide rail, and the inner side panel, the outer side panel and the mounting component together form a sealed cavity.
[0014] Optionally, the area of the outer side panel used to form the opening is bent into the mounting groove of the central guide rail to form a first connecting part, and the groove end of the mounting member is fitted and connected to the first connecting part.
[0015] Optionally, the slotted end of the mounting component is fitted and connected to the surface of the first connecting part facing away from the middle guide rail mounting groove.
[0016] Optionally, the vehicle assembly further includes a reinforcing plate, at least a portion of which is fitted and connected to the mounting element.
[0017] Optionally, the reinforcing plate, the mounting component, and the central guide rail are distributed along the direction from the inner side panel to the outer side panel, and the three are detachably connected by fasteners;

[0019] Optionally, the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the inner side panel.
[0020] A vehicle comprising the body assembly described in any of the preceding descriptions.
[0021] In this embodiment, by covering the outside of the first part of the central guide rail with the opaque area of the side window glass, a portion of the central guide rail is not exposed, reducing the degree of exposure of the central guide rail. This creates a hidden central guide rail in the visual appearance of the vehicle body assembly, eliminating the need for special decorative parts to cover the central guide rail. Therefore, when the vehicle body assembly of this embodiment is used in a vehicle, the central guide rail can be partially covered by the side window glass, reducing the degree of exposure of the central guide rail, thereby improving the vehicle's aesthetics and user experience. Furthermore, compared to the prior art's technical solution of using special decorative parts to cover the central guide rail, this method can also reduce development investment and overall vehicle costs.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a vehicle body assembly suitable for vehicles with sliding doors, such as vans. The vehicle body assembly provided in this application embodiment includes a central guide rail 100, a side panel 200, and a side window glass 300. The central guide rail 100 is used for sliding cooperation with the sliding door hinge of the vehicle.
[0034] The central guide rail 100 has a groove 110 for sliding engagement with the sliding door hinge. The central guide rail 100 includes a first part and a second part distributed along the height direction Z, with the first part located above the second part. It should be noted that the height direction Z refers to the direction between the roof and the floor when the body assembly is mounted on the vehicle.
[0035] The side panel 200 has a center guide rail mounting groove 240 and a glass mounting groove 250. Along the height direction Z, at least the upper part of the center guide rail mounting groove 240 is located within the glass mounting groove 250. That is, only the upper part of the center guide rail mounting groove 240 may be located within the glass mounting groove 250, or the entire center guide rail mounting groove 240 may be located within the glass mounting groove 250. The center guide rail 100 is disposed within the center guide rail mounting groove 240, and the opening of the groove 110 of the center guide rail 100 and the opening of the groove 240 face the same direction.
[0036] The side window glass 300 is located in the glass mounting groove 250. The area of the side window glass 300 near the central guide rail 100 is an opaque area 310. The opaque area 310 covers the outer side of the first part to partially cover the central guide rail 100, while the second part of the central guide rail 100 is exposed. The sliding door hinge can pass through a portion of the groove in the central guide rail mounting groove 240 opposite to the second part of the central guide rail 100 and extend into the central guide rail 100. It should be noted that the outer side of the first part refers to the side of the outer side panel 220 facing away from the inner side panel 210. When the body assembly is installed on the vehicle, the outer side of the first part is also the side of the first part facing outwards.
[0037] Optionally, the opaque area 310 can be a black area. Specifically, the opaque area 310 can be formed by applying a black coating, which can be at least one of paint coating, ceramic coating, metal coating, or inkjet printing coating; the opaque area 310 can also be formed by applying a spray coating, such as spraying a black spray material; the opaque area 310 can also be formed by applying a film, such as by applying a black PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) film or a black PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) film. Of course, the opaque area 310 can also be formed on the side window glass 300 by other methods, and this application does not limit this.
[0038] Optionally, the area outside the opaque area 310 of the side window glass 300 can be either a transparent area or an opaque area; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0039] Optionally, the center guide rail 100 can be a black guide rail. In this way, the second part of the center guide rail 100 that is not obscured by the side window glass 300 will visually blend with the opaque area 310 of the side window glass 300, which can reduce the visual prominence of the second part of the center guide rail 100 that is not obscured by the side window glass 300, thereby further improving the aesthetics and enhancing the user experience.
[0040] Optionally, the color of the center guide rail 100 can be consistent with the color of the side outer panel 220. For example, when the color of the side outer panel 220 is black (or white), the center guide rail 100 can also be black (or white). This can reduce the visual prominence of the second part of the center guide rail 100 that is not obscured by the side window glass 300, thereby further improving the aesthetics and enhancing the user experience.
[0041] The end of the side window glass 300 near the center guide rail 100 can be sealed and connected to the side wall 200 by means of structural adhesive or other connection methods.
[0042] In this embodiment, by covering the outer side of the first part of the center guide rail 100 with the opaque area 310 of the side window glass 300, a portion of the center guide rail 100 is not exposed, reducing the degree of exposure of the center guide rail 100. This creates a hidden center guide rail in the visual appearance of the vehicle body assembly, eliminating the need for special decorative parts to cover the center guide rail 100. Therefore, when the vehicle body assembly of this embodiment is used in a vehicle, the center guide rail 100 can be partially covered by the side window glass 300, reducing the degree of exposure of the center guide rail 100, thereby improving the aesthetics of the vehicle and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, compared to the prior art solution of using special decorative parts to cover the center guide rail, this method can also reduce development investment and overall vehicle costs.
[0043] In a further technical solution, along the height direction Z, the height of the first part is greater than the height of the second part, or the height of the first part is equal to the height of the second part. This structure allows the side window glass 300 to have a better shading effect on the center guide rail 100, increases the non-exposed area of the center guide rail 100, thereby improving the vehicle's aesthetics and enhancing the user experience.
[0044] In a further technical solution, the depth of the portion of the center guide rail mounting groove 240 located within the glass mounting groove 250 is greater than the depth of the glass mounting groove 250. That is, the center guide rail mounting groove 240 does not protrude outward from the glass mounting groove 250, and the center guide rail 100 does not protrude outward from the center guide rail mounting groove 240, so that the center guide rail 100 does not protrude outward from the outer surface of the side panel 200, thus preventing the center guide rail 100 from interfering with the side window glass 300.
[0045] The side panel 200 typically includes an inner side panel 210 and an outer side panel 220, which are connected and spaced apart.
[0046] In one alternative embodiment, the outer side panel 220 can be stamped toward the inner side panel 210 to form a center guide rail mounting groove 240 on the outer side panel 220.
[0047] In another optional embodiment, in addition to the inner side panel 210 and the outer side panel 220, the side panel 200 may further include a mounting member 230, and the outer side panel 220 may have an opening. The mounting member 230 may include a groove-like structure, and the groove end of the mounting member 230 may connect with the opening to form a central guide rail mounting groove 240. This structure can prevent the outer side panel 220 from being excessively stretched, which would cause the material of the outer side panel 220 to become thinner or crack, thereby reducing the strength and stiffness of the outer side panel 220.
[0048] The inner side panel 210 and the outer side panel 220 are connected and form a clearance space to avoid the guide rail mounting groove 240. The inner side panel 210, the outer side panel 220 and the mounting component 230 together form a sealed cavity.
[0049] Optionally, the inner side panel 210 and the outer side panel 220 can be sealed together by means of laser welding or other methods. The opening of the outer side panel 220 and the groove end of the mounting component 230 can be sealed together by means of laser welding, bonding or other methods, so that the three form a sealed cavity. Of course, the inner side panel 210 and the outer side panel 220, and the outer side panel 220 and the mounting component 230 can also be sealed together by other methods, so that the inner side panel 210, the outer side panel 220 and the mounting component 230 together form a sealed cavity.
[0050] The area of the side panel 220 used to form an opening can be bent into the central guide rail mounting groove 240 to form a first connecting part 221. The groove end of the mounting member 230 can be fitted and connected to the first connecting part 221 to increase the contact area between the side panel 220 and the mounting member 230, thereby increasing the connection strength between the two.
[0051] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the slotted end of the mounting member 230 can also directly abut against the opening and be arranged around the opening.
[0052] In a further technical solution, the slotted end of the mounting part 230 can be fitted and connected to the surface of the back-facing center guide rail mounting groove 240 of the first connecting part 221, so as to avoid the slotted end of the center guide rail mounting groove 240 forming a relatively sharp protrusion facing the outside of the side wall 200, and to prevent the user from being scratched.
[0053] In this embodiment, to enhance the structural strength of the mounting position of the center guide rail 100, the vehicle assembly may further include a reinforcing plate 400, which may at least partially fit and connect with the mounting member 230. In this case, the reinforcing plate 400 enhances the structural strength of the mounting position of the center guide rail 100.
[0054] In an alternative embodiment, the reinforcing plate 400 can be connected to the mounting member 230 by welding.
[0055] In another alternative embodiment, the reinforcing plate 400, the mounting piece 230, and the central guide rail 100 may be distributed along the direction from the inner side panel 210 to the outer side panel 220, and the three may be detachably connected by fasteners 500, which may be bolts.
[0056] Furthermore, in the mating area between the reinforcing plate 400 and the mounting part 230, in addition to the connection via the fastener 500, the two can also be connected in other ways, such as by adhesives such as structural adhesive, to further enhance the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 400 and the mounting part 230, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the mounting position of the middle guide rail 100.
[0057] In a further technical solution, the reinforcing plate 400 and the inner side panel 210 can be fixedly connected by welding (e.g., spot welding), thereby improving the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 400 and the side panel 200.
