[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The present invention describes a side panel assembly 100 for a pickup truck bed and a pickup truck bed, which are mounted on a pickup truck vehicle, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-4As shown, the side panel assembly 100 of the pickup truck bed according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a side panel body 10 and a pedal structure 20. The side panel body 10 defines an installation space 11. The side panel body 10 has a first end 12 and a second end 13 opposite to each other. The first end 12 is used for movably connecting with the pickup truck bed. The pedal structure 20 is disposed on the side panel body 10. A reinforcing structure 30 is disposed in the installation space 11 and is located at the second end 13. The reinforcing structure 30 is fixedly connected to the side panel body 10.

[0035] The side panel body 10 defines an installation space 11. The side panel body 10 has a first end 12 and a second end 13. The first end 12 is used for movable connection with the pickup truck bed. For example, the side panel body 10 and the pickup truck bed can be movably connected via a hinge, pivot, or other structure to facilitate the opening or closing of the side panel body 10. A step structure 20 is provided on the side panel body 10. For example, the step structure 20 and the side panel body 10 can be fixedly connected by bolts, welding, or other methods. However, this invention is not limited to these methods; the step structure 20 and the side panel body 10 can also be fixedly connected by other methods, as long as the step structure 20 is provided on the side panel body 10. The step structure 20, located on the side panel body 10, provides users with a convenient passage for getting in and out of the vehicle or loading and unloading goods. The presence of the step structure 20 makes it easier for users to enter and exit the pickup truck bed, especially when loading or unloading heavy objects, where the step structure 20 can significantly reduce the physical burden on the user.

[0036] The reinforcing structure 30 can be a reinforcing component, a reinforcing rib, or other type of reinforcing structure 30. The reinforcing structure 30 is located within the installation space 11 and is situated at the second end 13. The reinforcing structure 30 is positioned close to the second end 13 or adjacent to the second end 13. The reinforcing structure 30 is fixedly connected to the side panel body 10. For example, the reinforcing structure 30 and the side panel body 10 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolts, or other methods. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The reinforcing structure 30 and the side panel body 10 can also be fixedly connected by other methods, as long as the reinforcing structure 30 and the side panel body 10 are fixedly connected.

[0037] The reinforced structure 30 is fixedly connected to the side panel body 10 to form a whole. This not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the side panel body 10, but also enhances its overall strength and stability. This effectively reduces the risk of deformation and damage to the side panel body 10 during long-term use.

[0038] Furthermore, the pedal structure 20 relies on the strength of the side panel body 10 to support the pedaling force. By setting a reinforcing structure 30 in the installation space 11, the overall strength and stability of the side panel body 10 can be improved. The pedal structure 20 is set behind the side panel body, and the reinforcing structure 30 can improve the installation strength of the pedal structure 20, thereby indirectly improving the pedaling strength and stability of the pedal structure 20. This significantly improves the stability and durability of the pedal structure 20, helps to ensure the safety performance of users when using the pedal structure 20, and thus improves the user experience.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side panel assembly 100 of the pickup truck body, by providing a reinforcing structure 30 in the installation space 11 and fixing the reinforcing structure 30 to the side panel body 10, can enhance the structural strength and support strength of the side panel body 10. The pedal structure 20 is located behind the side panel body, and the reinforcing structure 30 can improve the installation strength of the pedal structure 20. The pedal structure 20 relies on the strength of the side panel body 10 to support the stepping force, and thus the stepping strength and stability of the pedal structure 20 can be indirectly improved by providing the reinforcing structure 30, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing structure 30 may include: a reinforcing structure sidewall 31, which is annular; the side panel body 10 includes an inner side panel 14 and an outer side panel 15, which are arranged and fixedly connected along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10 to jointly define the installation space 11; and the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 is fixedly connected to both the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15.

[0041] The length direction of the side panel body 10 is as follows: Figure 1 In the X direction, the thickness direction of the side panel body 10 is... Figure 1In the Y-direction, the reinforcing structural sidewall 31 can be annular. Specifically, the reinforcing structural sidewall 31 may include a first sidewall 311, a second sidewall 312, a third sidewall 313, and a fourth sidewall 314. The first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10, and the third sidewall 313 and the fourth sidewall 314 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the length direction of the side panel body 10. The thickness direction of the side panel body 10 is perpendicular to the length direction of the side panel body 10. Along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10, the third sidewall 313 and the fourth sidewall 314 are both connected between the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312. Both 313 and the fourth side wall 314 can have a first flange 315. The first flange 315 folds towards the inner wall of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, and the first flange 315 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312 by welding, so that the connection structure of the first side wall 311, the second side wall 312, the third side wall 313, and the fourth side wall 314 is a closed ring structure. This setting can not only increase the surface area of ​​the reinforced structural side wall 31, but also enable the reinforced structural side wall 31 to provide all-round support and protection, thereby improving the strength and stability of the side panel body 10.

[0042] The side panel body 10 includes an inner side panel 14 and an outer side panel 15. The inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15 are arranged and fixedly connected along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10 to jointly define an installation space 11. The installation space 11 is used to install a reinforcing structure 30. The reinforcing structure 30, located within the installation space 11, can improve the overall strength and stability of the side panel body 10. The reinforcing structure sidewall 31 is fixedly connected to both the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15. For example, the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 can be fixedly connected to the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15 by bolts, welding, or other methods. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The reinforcing structure sidewall 31 can also be fixedly connected to the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15 by other methods, as long as the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 is fixedly connected to both the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15.

[0043] The reinforced structural sidewall 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15. The reinforced structural sidewall 31 is annular, which increases the number and area of ​​connection points between the reinforced structural sidewall 31 and the inner side panel 14 and the outer side panel 15. This makes the connection between the reinforced structure 30 and the side panel body 10 more stable. The annular reinforced structural sidewall 31 can evenly distribute the force, so that the side panel body 10 can maintain a stable shape when subjected to external forces and is not easily deformed or damaged. This further improves the structure and strength of the side panel body 10, thereby providing the pedal structure 20 with a side panel body 10 with higher installation strength. This indirectly improves the pedal strength and stability of the pedal structure 20, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing structure 30 may further include: a reinforcing structure end wall 32, which is located on the side of the reinforcing structure side wall 31 facing the first end 12, and the reinforcing structure side wall 31 is disposed along the circumferential edge of the reinforcing structure end wall 32 and is fixedly connected to the reinforcing structure end wall 32.

[0045] The reinforcing end wall 32 is located on the side of the reinforcing side wall 31 facing the first end 12. The reinforcing side wall 31 is arranged along the circumferential edge of the reinforcing end wall 32, and the reinforcing side wall 31 and the reinforcing end wall 32 are fixedly connected. For example, the reinforcing side wall 31 and the reinforcing end wall 32 can be integrally formed, or the reinforcing side wall 31 and the reinforcing end wall 32 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolts, etc. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The reinforcing side wall 31 and the reinforcing end wall 32 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the reinforcing side wall 31 and the reinforcing end wall 32 are fixedly connected.

[0046] This configuration allows the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 and the reinforcing structure endwall 32 to jointly define the annular groove structure. The annular groove structure is more mechanically stable and can withstand greater external forces and pressures. It can disperse and mitigate external impacts on the reinforcing structure 30, further improving the stability and durability of the reinforcing structure 30. It can also effectively utilize the space within the annular groove, which is beneficial to improving the compactness of the side panel assembly 100.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 and the reinforcing structure endwall 32 can be integrally formed. This integral forming technology reduces the number of seams, eliminating potential weaknesses and failure points. It also makes the connection between the reinforcing structure sidewall 31 and the reinforcing structure endwall 32 more stable, avoiding the strength loss and stress concentration problems that may occur with traditional connection methods (such as welding, bolting, etc.), thereby improving the strength and stiffness of the reinforcing structure 30. Furthermore, the integral forming technology simplifies the production process, reduces multiple steps and waiting time, thus improving the production efficiency of the reinforcing structure 30.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end wall 32 of the reinforcing structure can have a mounting hole 321, and the pedal structure 20 passes through the mounting hole 321.

[0049] The reinforcing end wall 32 can have mounting holes 321 through which the pedal structure 20 passes. Specifically, the pedal structure 20 can include a pedal body 21 and a connecting beam 22. The connecting beam 22 of the pedal structure 20 passes through the mounting holes 321, allowing the pedal structure 20 to be connected to the reinforcing end wall 32 in a more compact manner, which helps to optimize space utilization. By rationally arranging the position and number of mounting holes 321 and optimizing the shape and size of the connecting beam 22, space efficiency can be maximized. The design of the connecting beam 22 passing through the mounting holes 321 gives the pedal structure 20 a neat and uniform appearance after installation, which not only improves the overall aesthetics but also helps to enhance the overall quality of the product. In addition, the connecting beam 22 passing through the mounting holes 321 can also distribute the force on the pedal structure 20 to the reinforcing end wall 32, enhancing the stability of the entire side panel assembly 100 and making the pedal structure 20 less prone to deformation or damage when subjected to foot pressure.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end wall 32 of the reinforcing structure can be formed with weight reduction holes 322. By setting weight reduction holes 322 in the end wall 32 of the reinforcing structure, the mass and volume of the reinforcing structure 30 can be significantly reduced, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the vehicle. At the same time, the weight reduction holes 322 can also serve as process holes in the processing of the reinforcing structure 30, improving the processing accuracy and efficiency of the side panel assembly 100. In addition, the weight reduction holes 322 can also be used to avoid other parts, avoiding mutual interference or conflict, which helps to improve the integrity and stability of the side panel assembly 100.

[0051] Furthermore, multiple weight-reducing holes 322 can be provided, for example, there can be two, three, four, or other numbers of weight-reducing holes 322. This utility model is not limited to this, and other numbers of weight-reducing holes 322 can also be provided, as long as there are multiple weight-reducing holes 322. Multiple weight-reducing holes 322 can remove more material, thereby significantly reducing the overall mass and volume of the reinforcing structure 30. The reasonable layout of multiple weight-reducing holes 322 can optimize the stress distribution of the structure, ensuring that the strength and stiffness of the reinforcing structure 30 are not reduced while reducing weight. This allows the reinforcing structure 30 to distribute stress more evenly when bearing load, improving the overall stability and durability, and thus indirectly improving the pedaling strength of the pedal structure 20.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing structure 30 may further include a connecting portion 33. The reinforcing structure sidewall 31 has a first sidewall 311 and a second sidewall 312. The first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10. The connecting portion 33 is located between the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312, and the connecting portion 33 is fixedly connected to both the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312.

[0053] The connecting portion 33 may include a first connecting plate 331, a second connecting plate 332, and a third connecting plate 333. The first connecting plate 331 and the second connecting plate 332 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. The third connecting plate 333 is connected between the first connecting plate 331 and the second connecting plate 332, so that the connecting portion 33 is constructed as a "U" shape or a similar "U" shape structure. The reinforced structural sidewall 31 has a first sidewall 311 and a second sidewall 312. The first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the thickness direction of the side panel body 10. The connecting part 33 is located between the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312, and the connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to both the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312. For example, the connecting part 33 can be fixedly connected to the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 by welding, bolts, or other means. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The connecting part 33 can also be fixedly connected to the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 by other means, as long as the connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to both the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312.

[0054] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 331 can be fixedly connected to the first side wall 311, and the second connecting plate 332 can be fixedly connected to the second side wall 312, so that the connecting part 33, the first side wall 311, the second side wall 312, and the reinforcing structure end wall 32 form a closed ring structure. The ring structure is more mechanically stable and can withstand greater external forces and pressures, thereby further improving the strength and stability of the reinforcing structure 30, and further improving the strength and stability of the side panel body 10.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there can be multiple connecting parts 33, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the side panel body 10, and any two adjacent connecting parts 33 are spaced apart.

[0056] The connecting parts 33 can be multiple, for example, there can be two, three, four, or other numbers of connecting parts 33. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and there can be other numbers of connecting parts 33, as long as there are multiple connecting parts 33. This application describes the case with two connecting parts 33 as an example. Multiple connecting parts 33 can be arranged sequentially along the length direction of the side panel body 10, and any two adjacent connecting parts 33 are spaced apart. In this way, multiple support points can be provided for the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312. Multiple support points can effectively distribute external loads, so that each connecting part 33, the first side wall 311, and the second side wall 312 can better withstand pressure, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the reinforcing structure 30. Furthermore, a closed ring structure can be formed along the length direction of the side panel body 10, consisting of multiple connecting parts 33, the first side wall 311, the second side wall 312, and the end wall 32 of the reinforcing structure. When subjected to external loads, the ring structure can better resist deformation and damage, thereby further ensuring the integrity and safety of the side panel body 10.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing structure 30 may further include: a reinforcing plate 34, which is located between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, and is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311. The connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311 through the reinforcing plate 34.

[0058] The reinforcing plate 34 may include a reinforcing plate body 341 and a second flange 342. The second flange 342 is arranged around the reinforcing plate body 341 in the circumferential direction, which helps to disperse external loads, better resist deformation, improve the overall strength and stability of the reinforcing plate 34, and thus enhance the strength and stability of the reinforcing structure 30.

[0059] The reinforcing plate 34 is located between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, and is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311. For example, the reinforcing plate 34 and the first side wall 311 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolts, etc., but this utility model is not limited to this. The reinforcing plate 34 and the first side wall 311 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the reinforcing plate 34 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311. The connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311 through the reinforcing plate 34. For example, the connecting part 33 and the reinforcing plate 34 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolts, etc., but this utility model is not limited to this. The connecting part 33 and the reinforcing plate 34 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 34. Thus, the connecting part 33 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 311 through the reinforcing plate 34. This makes the two connecting parts 33, the reinforcing plate 34, and the second side wall 312 form a closed ring structure, which can better resist deformation and damage, and further ensure the integrity and safety of the side panel body 10.

[0060] Furthermore, the presence of the reinforcing plate 34 makes the stress distribution in the reinforcing structure 30 more uniform, which can disperse the concentrated stress to a larger area, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the side panel body 10 caused by stress concentration. This helps to maintain the stability and integrity of the side panel body 10, extend the service life of the side panel body 10, and thus indirectly improve the stepping strength of the pedal structure 20.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a reinforcing plate is further provided at the connection between the side panel body 10 and the pedal structure 20. The mounting point of the side panel body 10 and the pedal structure 20 is located on the reinforcing plate. The presence of the reinforcing plate can provide additional support and reinforcement for the connection between the side panel body 10 and the pedal structure 20. The presence of the reinforcing plate helps to optimize the stress distribution at the connection. When subjected to external force, the reinforcing plate can disperse and absorb some of the stress, preventing excessive stress concentration at the connection, thereby improving the connection strength between the side panel body 10 and the pedal structure 20, and thus indirectly improving the stepping strength of the pedal structure 20.

[0062] The pickup truck bed according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a floor panel; and a side panel assembly 100. The side panel assembly 100 is the same as the side panel assembly 100 of the pickup truck bed described above. The first end 12 of the side panel assembly 100 is movably connected to the floor panel. For example, the side panel assembly 100 and the floor panel can be movably connected by a hinge, a pivot, or other structure to facilitate the opening or closing of the side panel assembly 100. Furthermore, by providing a reinforcing structure 30 within the installation space 11, and by fixing the reinforcing structure 30 to the side panel body 10, the structural strength and support strength of the side panel body 10 can be enhanced. The pedal structure 20 is located on the side panel body 10. The pedal structure 20 relies on the strength of the side panel body 10 to support the stepping force. Therefore, by providing the reinforcing structure 30, the stepping strength and stability of the pedal structure 20 can be indirectly improved, which is beneficial to improving the stability and safety of the pickup truck bed.
