[0040] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0041] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the positional words such as "up, down, left, right, front, back" used in the present embodiment are defined with the up-down direction, left-right direction and front-back direction of the automobile as the reference. Among them, the up-down direction of the automobile is also the height direction (Z direction) of the automobile, the front-back direction of the automobile is also the length direction (X direction) of the automobile, and the left-right direction of the automobile is also the width direction (Y direction) of the automobile. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] ​Moreover, in the description of the utility model, unless otherwise expressly limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connecting", "connecting piece" should be understood broadly. For example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected, it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection, it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium, it can be the communication inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood in combination with specific circumstances.

[0043] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0044] In view of the existing vehicle, the air inlet pipe of air cleaner 2 is usually arranged at the position below the upper beam of radiator. Such layout directly leads to the extremely limited gap between the air inlet pipe of air cleaner 2 and various peripheral components, thereby causing the overall arrangement space to be extremely tight.

[0045] Therefore, the embodiment particularly proposes a novel vehicle body, which has a beam body 1 located at one side of the vehicle heat dissipation module in the front part. The beam body 1 is formed with a hollow channel, and the beam body 1 is provided with a first opening and a second opening which are in communication with the channel. Moreover, the first opening is in communication with the external atmosphere, and the second opening is in communication with the air inlet of air cleaner 2 in the vehicle.

[0046] The vehicle body of the embodiment can integrate the air inlet channel in the beam body 1 in the front part of the vehicle body by arranging the hollow channel in the beam body 1, the first opening in communication with the external atmosphere, and the second opening in communication with the air inlet of air cleaner 2, and fully utilize the internal space of the beam body 1 which can not be efficiently utilized originally. Thus, without additionally arranging a special and independent large-area air inlet pipeline, the problem of further congestion of the nacelle layout caused by the additional air inlet pipeline can be effectively avoided, thereby facilitating the more reasonable distribution of various components in the limited nacelle space, reducing the risk of component arrangement interference caused by insufficient space, and improving the compactness and coordination of the overall layout of the nacelle. Meanwhile, the difficulty of space planning in the overall design and manufacturing process of the vehicle can also be reduced.

[0047] Based on the overall introduction above, one exemplary structure of the vehicle body of the embodiment is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and for the purpose of illustrating the improvement points of the embodiment, only the beam body 1 and air cleaner 2 are shown in the figures. The air cleaner 2 and other structures of the vehicle body can refer to the prior art, and the embodiment is not improved. In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the beam body 1 of the embodiment is located above the vehicle heat dissipation module, and the beam body 1 is part of the mounting frame of the vehicle heat dissipation module. Figure 1 Figure 2

[0048] ​​In this embodiment, the beam body 1 is arranged above the vehicle heat dissipation module, which can make full use of the space in the vertical direction of the front part of the vehicle, and can effectively avoid excessive space competition with other horizontally arranged components. In addition, the heat dissipation module forms an upper and lower stacked structure, which makes the space around the heat dissipation module relatively open, which is conducive to the smooth flow of heat dissipation air and heat dissipation, reduces the local heat accumulation phenomenon caused by unreasonable layout, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the beam body 1 is part of the heat dissipation module mounting frame, and the beam body 1 provides a stable upper support structure for the heat dissipation module, which ensures that the heat dissipation module can better maintain its correct installation position and attitude during vehicle driving, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the heat dissipation function.

[0049] At this time, it needs to be mentioned that the mounting frame of the vehicle heat dissipation module usually also includes a lower cross beam arranged above and below the beam body 1, and a vertical beam connected between the left and right ends of the beam body 1 and the lower cross beam. Among them, the cooperation structure of each beam and the vehicle heat dissipation module can refer to the prior art, and in specific implementation, a connecting structure connected with the vehicle heat dissipation module can also be further provided on the beam body 1 according to design requirements. In this embodiment, the beam body 1 is mainly introduced as an innovative point that forms a channel.

[0050] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the beam body 1 of the present embodiment specifically extends along the left and right directions of the whole vehicle, and the cross section of the beam body 1 is rectangular. By setting the cross section of the beam body 1 as a rectangle, when the front part of the vehicle is subjected to a vertical load, the rectangular beam body 1 can effectively resist bending deformation by relying on its large cross-sectional moment of inertia (relative to some structures with the same cross-sectional area but different shapes), and ensure that the components (such as heat dissipation modules, etc.) installed on the beam body 1 maintain a relatively stable position and attitude, without affecting the normal function.

[0051] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The beam body 1 of the present embodiment includes a beam body 101 extending along the left and right directions of the whole vehicle, and a blocking plate 102 arranged at both ends of the beam body 101. Moreover, the two end blocking plates 102 define a channel in the beam body 101, and the first opening and the second opening are both arranged on the beam body 101.

[0052] This structure not only provides functionality for the channel, but also enhances the structural strength and durability of the beam body 1 itself. In addition, the two end blocking plates 102 can effectively strengthen and support the beam body 101, preventing local deformation or distortion of the beam body 101 under stress, which is conducive to improving the fatigue resistance of the beam body 1 and the reliability of the overall structure, thereby helping to prolong the service life of the beam body 1.

[0053] At this time, as a preferred embodiment, as shown inFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the beam body 101 is provided with a plug hole at each end, and the blocking plate 102 is inserted into the plug hole at each end of the beam body 101. In addition, the plug hole is arranged at the top of the beam body 101 to prevent the blocking plate 102 from falling off. By inserting the blocking plate 102 into the plug hole, the assembly process of the beam 1 can be greatly simplified, and the blocking plate 102 can be easily replaced and maintained. In addition, compared with the method of fixedly connecting the blocking plate 102 and the beam body 101, the processing cost can be reduced. Obviously, the blocking plate 102 can also be fixed on the beam body 101 by welding or other methods.

[0054] In addition, a rubber sealing ring or the like can be further arranged between the edges of the blocking plate 102 to further enhance the reliability and sealing performance of the connection between the blocking plate 102 and the beam body 101, prevent air leakage or loosening of the blocking plate 102 during long-term use, and ensure the normal operation of the channel and the safety and stability of the vehicle body structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the beam body 101 is made of extruded aluminum. In this way, under the premise of ensuring that the beam 1 has sufficient strength and rigidity to meet the structural and functional requirements of the vehicle, the weight of the front part of the vehicle body can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. In addition, the beam body 101 has good corrosion resistance, and can prevent rainwater, road salt, and various chemicals entering the channel from corroding the beam body 101 in the use environment of the vehicle. In addition, compared with the structure in which the air inlet pipe of the traditional air filter 2 is made of plastic pipe, the pipe modal can be effectively avoided, and resonance can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance of the vehicle and improving the quality of the vehicle.

[0056] In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the first opening and the second opening are respectively arranged at the two ends of the beam 1. The first opening and the second opening are arranged on the beam body 101. In this embodiment, by arranging the first opening and the second opening at the two ends of the beam 1, a relatively smooth airflow channel can be formed, and the turbulence phenomenon can be reduced. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent excessive interference or obstruction with the key components such as the heat dissipation module and the engine in space.

[0057] In combination with Figures 1 to 3As shown in the drawings, as a preferred embodiment, the first opening is arranged towards the front of the vehicle, and the first opening is a long strip-shaped opening extending along the length direction of the beam body 1. In this embodiment, the first opening is designed as a long strip-shaped opening extending along the length direction of the beam body 1 and arranged towards the front of the vehicle, which can significantly increase the inlet area of the air inlet channel. During the driving of the vehicle, a relatively high-pressure airflow area is formed in front of the vehicle, and the large-area long strip-shaped opening can make full use of this airflow characteristic to maximize the capture of more external air. Compared with the traditional circular or small opening design, the long strip-shaped opening can obtain a larger amount of air in the same width range of the beam body 1, effectively improve the air intake, and provide more sufficient oxygen supply for the engine, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the engine.

[0058] In addition, as a specific embodiment, the second opening is arranged towards the bottom of the vehicle. In addition, the second opening of this embodiment is circular, which can be adapted to the existing circular pipe structure, and is convenient to connect with the air cleaner 2. Arranging the second opening towards the bottom of the vehicle is convenient to connect with the air inlet of the air cleaner 2. It should be noted that, in addition to being designed as a long strip-shaped opening, the first opening can also be designed as a circular shape or other shapes. In addition, in addition to being arranged towards the bottom of the vehicle, the second opening can also be arranged towards the rear of the vehicle or other directions.

[0059] In combination with Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the drawings, as a further embodiment, in order to further facilitate the connection with the air cleaner 2 and other components, in this embodiment, the beam body 1 is provided with a first pipe body 3 and a second pipe body 4. One end of the first pipe body 3 is in communication with the first opening, and the other end of the first pipe body 3 is in communication with the external atmosphere. The other end of the second pipe body 4 is in communication with the second opening, and the other end of the second pipe body 4 is in communication with the air inlet of the air cleaner 2 through a connecting pipe 5. The connecting pipe 5 is preferably a hose, and the second pipe body 4 can be connected to the connecting pipe 5 through a conventional connecting structure such as a clamp.

[0060] In addition, as a further embodiment, the first pipe body 3 and the second pipe body 4 of this embodiment are detachably connected to the beam body 1. In this way, when the first pipe body 3 or the second pipe body 4 is damaged during the use of the vehicle, the damaged pipe body can be conveniently and quickly detached and replaced. As a specific embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the first pipe body 3 is provided with a first connecting block 301 at both ends thereof, and the first pipe body 3 is screwed to the beam body 101 through bolts arranged in the first connecting block 301. In specific implementation, a nut can be welded in the beam body 101, or when the thickness of the beam body 101 is relatively thick, a threaded hole can be directly formed on the beam body 101. Figure 1

[0061] Similarly, as shown in the drawings, the second pipe body 4 is provided with a second connecting block 401 at both ends thereof, and the second pipe body 4 is screwed to the beam body 101 through bolts arranged in the second connecting block 401. In specific implementation, a nut can be welded in the beam body 101, or when the thickness of the beam body 101 is relatively thick, a threaded hole can be directly formed on the beam body 101. Figure 5 ​As shown in the figure, the second connecting block 401 is arranged at both ends of the second pipe body 4, and the second pipe body 4 is screwed on the beam body 101 through the bolt arranged in the second connecting block 401. In the specific implementation, the nut can also be welded in the beam body 101, or when the thickness of the beam body 101 is relatively large, the threaded hole can be directly formed on the beam body 101.

[0062] It should be noted that, in addition to the first pipe body 3 and the second pipe body 4 being detachably arranged on the beam body 1, only the first pipe body 3 or the second pipe body 4 can be detachably arranged on the beam body 1. In addition, the first pipe body 3 or the second pipe body 4 can not be arranged according to the specific requirements.

[0063] Based on the above overall description, the vehicle body of the embodiment can effectively solve the problem of no arrangement space for the air inlet pipe of the air cleaner 2, and the beam body 1 meets the use function and the air intake requirement. In addition, the development of the air inlet pipe can be reduced, the weight of the light vehicle can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, the parts in the engine compartment can be reduced, the arrangement of other parts is facilitated, and the appearance of the engine compartment is improved.

[0064] In addition, the embodiment also relates to a vehicle, and the vehicle is provided with the vehicle body.

[0065] The vehicle of the embodiment can effectively avoid the problem of further crowded layout of the engine compartment caused by the additional air inlet pipe, so that various parts can be more reasonably distributed in the limited engine compartment space.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
