Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sideboard truck bodies, and more particularly to an aluminum alloy sideboard truck body for pickup trucks. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the flatbed trailers used on pickup trucks are generally made of steel.26 In actual use, there are many problems, as follows: (1) Traditional steel trailers are heavier than trailers made of other lightweight materials (such as aluminum alloy trailers). Steel trailers are about 40% heavier than trailers made of other materials of the same size, and consume more fuel per 100 kilometers, which is not conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection. (2) In order to prevent rust and corrosion, the surface of traditional steel car body structure needs to be coated with paint before it can be put into use. However, due to the frequent bumps and scratches of the paint layer and the easy friction and scratches when loading and transporting goods, the surface coating will peel off and cause corrosion. Therefore, it is often necessary to repair paint and weld, which will result in high maintenance costs. However, the paint layer may not be repaired in time every time it peels off, so it is difficult to avoid the situation that the corrosion of the steel car body will occur when it is scratched. Once corrosion occurs, it is difficult to repair the damage by repainting. In addition, sometimes users feel that the maintenance cost is high and the time is long, and the steel car body cannot be used during maintenance, resulting in low loading and use efficiency, so they do not carry out maintenance. After the steel paint layer peels off, the surface will quickly oxidize and rust. Without repair and maintenance, the service life will be seriously affected, resulting in poor corrosion resistance and short service life. (3) Traditional steel car body structures are assembled using welding or riveting processes for most components. When a component is damaged, maintenance and repair are very inconvenient, and some components cannot even be replaced. The replacement of parts is difficult. For example, hinges are welded to the main body of the car body and need to be cut and re-welded before replacement, which is difficult to operate and has high maintenance costs. (4) Most of the mudguards in the steel car body structure on the market are split mudguards 27, that is, the mudguard is divided into front and rear pieces. The split mudguard is connected and fixed to the bottom plate of the car body through the mudguard bracket 28. The installation of this type of split mudguard requires many fasteners, which is complicated and requires high precision in the bending angle of the mudguard bracket. In addition, the mudguard bracket of the split mudguard protrudes from the rear of the split mudguard, which occupies part of the space under the car body and affects the customer's installation toolbox. Figure 11 As shown. (5) Most steel car body structures on the market are connected to the car chassis by angle iron connectors 29 and pads 31. The angle iron connectors are made of welded angle irons. One side of the angle iron connector is connected to the car chassis, and the other side is connected to the car body through two connecting brackets 30. Since the installation points of the car chassis are not on the same horizontal plane, the pads can adjust the installation height of the angle iron connectors to make them on the same horizontal plane, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12As shown; however, this type of installation method has some drawbacks: the mounting point of the car body on the angle iron connector and the mounting point of the chassis are not on the same vertical plane. Therefore, when the weight of the car body is transmitted to the chassis mounting point of the angle iron connector, there is pressure and torque. Under this condition, the root of the angle iron connector is always subjected to torque, and the angle iron connector will deform to a certain extent, which greatly reduces the reliability and stability of the angle iron connector.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make certain improvements to the existing pickup truck flatbed body technology to address the problems of the existing technology, and to develop a pickup truck flatbed body with advantages such as light weight, fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, corrosion resistance, convenient maintenance and high space utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a pickup truck with an aluminum alloy sideboard body. This pickup truck with an aluminum alloy sideboard body adopts an integrated mudguard structure, which reduces the use of fasteners, simplifies the installation process, and eliminates the need for mudguard brackets, thus improving the utilization rate of the undercarriage space. Furthermore, it uses chassis connecting parts to ensure that the installation points of the truck body and the chassis are designed on the same vertical plane, eliminating torque and improving the stability of the truck body. In addition, the entire truck body is made of aluminum alloy, making it lighter, more environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient.

[0035] Example 1
[0036] The pickup truck with aluminum alloy side panels described in Embodiment 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the vehicle includes an aluminum alloy sideboard body 1, an integrated mudguard 2 installed at the bottom of the aluminum alloy sideboard body and corresponding to the wheel positions, and a chassis connector 3 installed at the bottom of the aluminum alloy sideboard body for connection with the chassis 9. The aluminum alloy sideboard body of this pickup truck is made of aluminum alloy, which is lighter than traditional steel body structures, reducing weight by approximately 40% compared to steel body structures of the same size. It saves 0.42 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and giving it a greater advantage in market application. Data shows that extracting 1 kg of primary aluminum requires approximately 13.5 kWh of electricity, but in automobile manufacturing, using 1 kg of aluminum can replace 3 kg of steel. Saving 1 kg of material over the vehicle's lifespan saves 0.7 kg of fuel, equivalent to saving 12,800 kWh of electricity and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2,670 kg, representing nearly 100 times energy savings. Furthermore, for the same specifications, the aluminum alloy flatbed truck body is lighter in net weight than the steel truck body structure, allowing for a larger cargo capacity when fully loaded, thus effectively improving cargo utilization. Additionally, the mudguards are designed as a single, integrated structure, eliminating the need for mudguard brackets and further enhancing the utilization of undercarriage space.
[0037] like Figure 8As shown, the integrated mudguard includes a mudguard mounting piece 4 fixedly installed to the bottom of the aluminum alloy sideboard vehicle body, a front mudguard 5 and a rear mudguard 6, which extend downwards at their front and rear ends and are distributed in an outward octagonal pattern. This integrated mudguard is formed by bending in one piece, meaning the mudguard mounting piece, front mudguard, and rear mudguard are connected as a single unit, which is both aesthetically pleasing and saves installation space, while also improving the utilization of the undercarriage space. Furthermore, the one-piece bending process does not require high precision in bending angles. Finally, the integrated mudguard structure allows users to adapt it to rear luggage bar and toolboxes, improving its expandability.
[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the chassis connecting component includes a U-shaped crossbar 7 formed by bending sheet metal, and a body connecting bracket 8 vertically installed on the crossbar and connected to both sides of the bottom of the aluminum alloy sideboard body. The bottom of the crossbar is fixedly connected to the chassis, and the sides of the body connecting bracket are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the aluminum alloy sideboard body. The center point of the crossbar and the chassis mounting position, and the center point of the body connecting bracket and the aluminum alloy sideboard body mounting position, are on the same vertical plane. The crossbar is made of steel plate bent into a U-shape, connecting the crossbar and the body bracket together. The body mounting point of this chassis connecting component is designed on the same vertical plane as the chassis mounting point, so no torque is generated, improving the stability of the body installation.
[0039] In this embodiment 1, a diagonal brace 10 is also provided between the side of the crossbar and the bottom side of the aluminum alloy side panel vehicle body to improve the installation stability of the chassis connector. At the same time, a diagonal brace with a diagonal design is added to the chassis connector, so that the installation connection point of the chassis connector forms a triangular state, which improves stability and robustness, and enhances reliability.
[0040] In this embodiment 1, the crossbars are fixedly connected to the vehicle body connecting bracket, the crossbars to the chassis, and the diagonal bracing brackets to the aluminum alloy side panel vehicle body using fixing bolts 11. Existing angle iron connectors use welding, while the chassis connectors in this embodiment 1 use fixing bolts instead of welding, preventing incomplete welds that could lead to failure and improving the reliability of the chassis connectors.
[0041] In this embodiment 1, the diagonal brace includes a body diagonal brace connecting piece 12 that is connected and installed to the bottom side of the aluminum alloy side panel of the car body, and a crossbeam diagonal brace connecting piece 13 that is connected and installed to the side of the crossbar. The body diagonal brace connecting piece and the crossbeam diagonal brace connecting piece are integrally bent and formed.
[0042] In this embodiment 1, the mudguard mounting plate is integrally bent with the front and rear mudguards. Both ends of the mudguard mounting plate, where it connects to the front and rear mudguards, have joints formed by laser welding. The mudguard mounting plate also has bolt holes 14 for connection to the aluminum alloy sideboard body. Because the integrated mudguard uses a one-piece bending process and laser welding at the joints, it has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Furthermore, the integrated mudguard connects to the aluminum alloy sideboard body via bolt holes on the top mudguard mounting plate, reducing the precision requirements for the bending angle.
[0043] In this embodiment 1, the aluminum alloy sideboard carriage includes a left sideboard 15, a right sideboard 16, a rear sideboard 17, a front sideboard 18, and side steps. The sideboards are interconnected via hinges 20 and sideboard handles 21. The side steps, hinges, and sideboards all adopt a modular structure and are movably connected to the aluminum alloy sideboard carriage body via movable bolts 22. The vulnerable parts of the aluminum alloy sideboard carriage body are assembled using movable bolt connections. The carriage components are independent; any damaged parts can be disassembled and replaced individually, facilitating maintenance and repair without damaging the aluminum alloy sideboard carriage body. Furthermore, the left, right, and rear sideboards of this aluminum alloy sideboard carriage body feature a smooth surface design without decorative stripes, and the overall shape has a textured, aesthetically pleasing, and simple design.
[0044] In this embodiment 1, the rear panel of the aluminum alloy side panel vehicle body is equipped with a taillight 23, a camera 24, and a radar 25.
[0045] In this embodiment 1, the surfaces of the aluminum alloy sideboard body, integrated mudguards, and chassis connectors are all oxidized with an oxide film, the thickness of which is 8-10 μm. Due to the corrosion-resistant and rust-free properties of aluminum alloy, the entire aluminum alloy sideboard body structure and accessories are treated with a silver-white anodizing process to form an oxide film with a thickness of 8-10 μm. This process results in high surface hardness, strong corrosion resistance, and essentially eliminates maintenance costs, extending the service life by 5-10 years compared to steel body structures.
[0046] In this embodiment 1, the pickup truck aluminum alloy sideboard body adopts an integrated mudguard structure, which reduces the use of fasteners, simplifies the installation process, and eliminates the mudguard bracket, thus improving the utilization rate of the undercarriage space. Furthermore, the chassis connecting parts ensure that the body mounting point and the chassis mounting point are designed on the same vertical plane, eliminating torque and improving body stability. In addition, the entire body is made of aluminum alloy, making it lighter, more environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient. The surface of the pickup truck aluminum alloy sideboard body has an oxide film, preventing corrosion to the interior even with scratches. Finally, the vulnerable parts and other components of the pickup truck aluminum alloy sideboard body are modularly designed, allowing for individual disassembly and replacement without damaging the body structure, making operation easy and maintenance costs low.
[0047] Compared with existing steel body structures, this pickup truck with aluminum alloy side panels has the following advantages:
[0048] (1) The aluminum alloy side panel of this pickup truck is lightweight, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly;
[0049] (2) The surface of the aluminum alloy side panel of the pickup truck is formed by silver-white oxidation process to form an oxide film, which has good corrosion resistance;
[0050] (3) The pickup truck's aluminum alloy sideboard cargo box adopts an integrated mudguard, which has a high utilization rate of the vehicle's undercarriage space and can be equipped with a rear bumper and toolbox, making it highly expandable;
[0051] (4) The side panels and surrounding accessories of the aluminum alloy side panel truck body can be disassembled separately for easy maintenance and replacement.
[0052] (5) The chassis connecting parts of the aluminum alloy side panel of the pickup truck adopt a "U" shape design, which is safe, reliable, not easy to deform, and highly stable.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the structure of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
