[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle interior structure, in particular to a B-pillar assembly and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] When a passenger with an umbrella enters a vehicle in rainy days, the umbrella needs to be stored. Since the umbrella surface is attached with rainwater, if placed by the passenger, the passenger's clothes may be wetted and stained, and the vehicle's interior may also be wetted and stained.

[0003] Currently, the vehicles on the market do not have the function of storing umbrellas, which cannot meet the needs of passengers. In addition, the space in the vehicle is limited, and it is inconvenient to fold the umbrella after getting on the vehicle. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a B-pillar assembly and a vehicle aiming at at least one of the above problems.

[0005] In one aspect, the present application provides a B-pillar assembly, which comprises: a B-pillar, which is provided with a placing hole; and an umbrella cover, which is detachably arranged in the B-pillar through the placing hole, and the overlapping part of the umbrella cover extends out of the placing hole and overlaps the placing hole.

[0006] By arranging the placing hole in the B-pillar and arranging the umbrella cover in the B-pillar, a position for placing the umbrella can be provided without occupying the space in the vehicle. The passenger can elegantly store the umbrella when getting on the vehicle, the action is simple, and the execution is convenient; the passenger can quickly take the umbrella when getting off the vehicle; placing the umbrella at the B-pillar can also make the umbrella in the field of view, which helps to avoid forgetting to take the umbrella when getting off the vehicle. The B-pillar assembly of the present application can avoid the umbrella from staining the interior of the vehicle and staining the passenger's clothes. The detachable umbrella cover can store rainwater and dirt, and after use, the umbrella cover can be detached to drain the rainwater or be cleaned. The overlapping part not only ensures the installation and fixation of the umbrella cover, but also avoids the rainwater from flowing into the B-pillar, thereby avoiding the carpet and wire harness of the vehicle from being wetted. The B-pillar assembly has a simple structure, provides the function of storing the umbrella, and is suitable for the scene of using the umbrella in rainy days.

[0007] In some embodiments, the umbrella cover is a hard umbrella cover.

[0008] In this way, the umbrella cover can better support the umbrella; can better maintain its own form to be reliably installed in place when installed in the B-pillar, thereby ensuring that the umbrella can be placed in place when placed, and keeping the umbrella fixed and stable during driving; in addition, it is also beneficial to store rainwater and avoid accidental leakage.

[0009] In some embodiments, the B-pillar assembly further comprises an umbrella groove arranged in the B-pillar and used for supporting the umbrella cover, and the umbrella groove corresponds to the placing hole.

[0010] In this way, the umbrella groove can better support the umbrella cover and the umbrella, and can reliably guide the umbrella cover to be installed into the B column, facilitating the installation of the umbrella cover. Meanwhile, since the umbrella cover includes the overlapping portion to prevent rainwater from flowing into the B column, the umbrella groove can be connected to the B column in a simple and easy way, even if there is a gap, etc., so that the B column assembly is easy to manufacture.

[0011] In some embodiments, the axis of the umbrella groove and the axis of the umbrella cover are both inclined relative to the surface of the B column provided with the placement hole.

[0012] In this way, the umbrella can be prevented from colliding with the B column, facilitating the smooth placement and taking of the umbrella, and still achieving the fixed placement of the umbrella.

[0013] In some embodiments, the umbrella groove and the umbrella cover are both conical.

[0014] In this way, the space occupied in the B column can be reduced, while being sufficient to accommodate the umbrella, ensuring that the umbrella is accommodated in the umbrella cover as much as possible and is fixedly placed.

[0015] In some embodiments, the B column is provided with a welding column, and the welding hole of the umbrella groove is sleeved on the welding column.

[0016] In this way, the umbrella groove can be more easily fixed to the B column, avoiding a difficult manufacturing process, and the function of the B column can be more easily increased.

[0017] In some embodiments, the placement hole is an elongated oval hole.

[0018] In this way, the tip of the umbrella is easily guided when placed from top to bottom, ensuring that the umbrella is easily placed in the umbrella cover; and ensuring that the umbrella can be limited.

[0019] In some embodiments, the placement hole is located in the rear half of the B column.

[0020] In this way, the rear-row passengers can use the B column assembly, and the umbrella can be placed or taken more conveniently and easily in or out of the vehicle, and the passengers have more space and more convenient actions to place or take the umbrella.

[0021] In some embodiments, the B column assembly further includes a cover ring, which is detachably embedded in the placement hole and can cover the overlapping portion.

[0022] In this way, the overlapping portion can be protected, and the detachable umbrella cover can be reliably used. In addition, the cover ring can be used as an interior trim part and integrated into the overall design of the vehicle. The cover ring can be used to prompt or indicate the placement position of the umbrella. The cover ring can beautify the design of the placement hole.

[0023] In another aspect, the application provides a vehicle, which includes the aforementioned B column assembly.

[0024] By setting the B-pillar assembly as described above, the use scenarios of the vehicle can be enriched, the vehicle seating space can be ensured to be sufficient, and a position for placing an umbrella is provided. The vehicle interior environment is good, and the passenger is comfortable. The vehicle provides business and home storage and storage capacity, and well meets the user's use requirements.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A B-pillar assembly in the present application is shown. The B-pillar assembly 100 can be applied in a vehicle. For the convenience of description, a space rectangular coordinate system XYZ is established, and it can be considered that the X-axis direction is the front-rear direction, the Y-axis direction is the left-right direction, and the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction. Exemplarily, Figure 1 The B-pillar assembly 100 shown can be a left side B-pillar assembly. A right side B-pillar assembly can be symmetrically arranged with the left side B-pillar assembly, or can be independently designed.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the B-pillar assembly 100 includes a B-pillar 1 and a cover 2. In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the cover 2 is detachably connected to the B-pillar 1.

[0041] The B-pillar 1 is provided with a placement hole 101. Specifically, the B-pillar 1 has an interior surface 102 corresponding to the vehicle seating space, which can be referred to as an outer surface for the B-pillar 1. A column space can be formed inside the B-pillar 1. The placement hole 101 is provided at the interior surface 102. The placement hole 101 can communicate the column space of the B-pillar 1 with the seating space.

[0042] The cover 2 can be detachably arranged in the B-pillar 1 through the placement hole 101. Specifically, the cover 2 can include a lapping portion 21 and a cover body 22. The cover body 22 can be completely located in the B-pillar 1. As Figure 5 shown, the lapping portion 21 of the cover 2 extends out of the placement hole 101 and lapped on the placement hole 101. The cover 2 has a cover opening that is slightly smaller than the placement hole 101.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the B-pillar assembly 100 further comprises a cover ring 4. The cover ring 4 is detachably embedded in the placement hole 101, and specifically, can be partially embedded in the sleeve opening of the umbrella sleeve 2. The cover ring 4 can cover the lap joint 21, and the cover ring 4 can be provided to avoid accidentally hooking the lap joint 21, thereby ensuring reliable use of the detachable umbrella sleeve 2. The umbrella sleeve 2 can be made of a water-impermeable material, and the lap joint 21 can be designed with a certain tolerance for practicality, or the umbrella sleeve 2 can have a rough overall surface with process marks. The cover ring 4 can be used as an interior trim part and integrated into the overall design of the vehicle interior. The cover ring 4 can be designed with a paint finish or plating, and can be used to indicate the placement position of the umbrella 200. The cover ring 4 can beautify the design of the B-pillar assembly 100.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2 , the umbrella sleeve 2 is arranged in the B-pillar 1, and can provide a position for placing the umbrella 200 without occupying space in the vehicle interior. The B-pillar assembly 100 has a simple structure and provides a function of accommodating the umbrella 200, which is suitable for rainy weather.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3 , the umbrella 200 can be partially placed in the umbrella sleeve 2, and under the action of the gravity of the umbrella 200, the B-pillar assembly 100 can be used to fixedly install the umbrella 200. The passenger can elegantly store the umbrella 200 when getting into the vehicle, and the action is simple and convenient to perform; the passenger can quickly take the umbrella 200 when getting out of the vehicle; and placing the umbrella 200 at the B-pillar 1 can also make the umbrella 200 within the range of view, which helps to avoid forgetting to take the umbrella 200 when getting out of the vehicle.

[0046] The lap joint 21 ensures the overall installation and fixation of the umbrella sleeve 2, and avoids rainwater from flowing into the B-pillar 1, thereby avoiding the rainwater from wetting the carpet and wiring harness in the B-pillar 1. The B-pillar assembly 100 of the present application can avoid the umbrella 200 from dirtying the vehicle interior and the passenger's clothes. The detachable umbrella sleeve 2 can store rainwater and dirt, and after use, the umbrella sleeve 2 can be detached at any time to drain the rainwater or cleaned, for example, the umbrella sleeve 2 can be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun used for cleaning vehicles.

[0047] In some embodiments, the umbrella sleeve 2 is a hard umbrella sleeve. The umbrella sleeve 2 can better maintain its own shape, can be smoothly installed into the B-pillar 1, and then the umbrella 200 can be placed in position, can better support the umbrella 200, and can maintain the fixation and stability of the umbrella 200 during driving; in addition, it is also beneficial to store rainwater and avoid accidental leakage.

[0048] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 1In some embodiments, the B-pillar assembly 100 further comprises an umbrella slot 3. The umbrella slot 3 is arranged in the B-pillar 1, and corresponds to the placement hole 101, and can reliably guide the installation of the umbrella cover 2 into the B-pillar 1, and in particular, the umbrella cover 2 is installed in the umbrella slot 3. The umbrella slot 3 is also used to support the umbrella cover 2, and through the fixing of the umbrella slot 3 in the B-pillar 1, the umbrella cover 2 can be better supported in the installed state, and in turn, the umbrella 200 can be stably installed, and excessive shaking of the umbrella 200 can be avoided.

[0049] Exemplarily, the umbrella slot 3 comprises a slot body 31, which can be substantially conformal with the cover body 22, and the umbrella slot 3 can further comprise a plurality of reinforcing ribs to improve the structural strength of the slot body 31, and also to improve the structural strength of the B-pillar assembly 100. The umbrella slot 3 can be connected to the B-pillar 1 in a relatively simple and easy-to-implement manner, even if there is a gap, and the overlapping portion 21 of the umbrella cover 2 can prevent rainwater from flowing from the gap formed by the B-pillar 1 and the umbrella slot 3 to the lower side.

[0050] In some embodiments, the axis of the umbrella slot 3 and the axis of the umbrella cover 2 are substantially coincident, and both axes are inclined relative to the surface of the B-pillar 1 on which the placement hole 101 is arranged. The inner surface 102 of the B-pillar 1 can be curved, and the inner surface 102 extends substantially along the Z-axis direction, but at least part of the region can be greatly inclined relative to the Z-axis direction. The axis of the umbrella cover 2 is also inclined relative to the inner surface 102, and can also be inclined relative to the Z-axis direction. As shown in the figure, exemplarily, the cover opening of the umbrella cover 2 is directed to the upper right. Optionally, the inclination angle of the axis of the umbrella cover 2 relative to the Z-axis direction is less than 15°. The inclined umbrella cover 2 can avoid collision and interference between the umbrella 200 and the B-pillar 1, and facilitate the smooth placement and retrieval of the umbrella 200. Figure 5

[0051] The center of gravity of the umbrella 200 can fall within the umbrella cover 2. When the center of gravity of the umbrella 200 is high, the umbrella cover 2 can also ensure the fixed arrangement of the umbrella 200 by limiting the umbrella tip.

[0052] In some embodiments, the umbrella slot 3 and the umbrella cover 2 are both conical. The hole diameter of the umbrella cover 2 near the placement hole 101 is larger, and the end of the umbrella cover 2 is substantially pointed, and the end of the slot body 31 of the umbrella slot 3 is also pointed, and the pointed structure occupies less space in the B-pillar 1. The space in the umbrella cover 2 is sufficient to accommodate the umbrella 200, and in particular, it can accommodate, for example, a straight rod umbrella, and a longer straight rod umbrella can be placed in the umbrella cover 2 as much as possible; it can also accommodate a folding umbrella, and a shorter and thicker folding umbrella can also be carried by the upper part of the umbrella cover 2, so as to ensure that the umbrella 200 is accommodated in the umbrella cover 2 as much as possible, and the conical cover body 22 can use friction and wedge clamping force to fix and arrange the umbrella 200.

[0053] ​In some embodiments, the placement hole 101 is an elongated oval hole, and the shape of the placement hole 101 can be obtained by cutting the inner surface 102 into a cone shape. The sleeve opening of the umbrella sleeve 2 and the groove opening of the umbrella groove 3 are substantially the same as the shape of the placement hole 101, and are also elongated oval holes. The size of the placement hole 101 along the Z-axis direction is relatively long, so that the umbrella tip of the umbrella 200 is easily guided when the umbrella 200 is placed from top to bottom, thereby ensuring that the umbrella 200 is easily placed into the umbrella sleeve 2. The lower end of the umbrella sleeve 2 is shaped to hold the umbrella 200, thereby ensuring that the umbrella 200 can be limited. This avoids the umbrella 200 from being separated, and also avoids the umbrella 200 from shaking in the front-back direction.

[0054] In some embodiments, the placement hole 101 is located at the rear half of the B-pillar 1. In the X-axis direction, the front half of the B-pillar 1 can correspond to the front row seat, and the function of the B-pillar assembly 100 for placing the umbrella 200 can be mainly used by the rear passengers. In addition, the passengers can conveniently place or take the umbrella 200 in or out of the vehicle, and the space for the passengers to place or take the umbrella 200 is sufficient and the action is more convenient.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 The B-pillar 1 includes an upper column 11 and a lower column 12, and the placement hole 101 is located in the lower column 12. The placement hole 101 can be located at the middle position or slightly rearward of the B-pillar 1 in the X-axis direction, and the placement hole 101 can be substantially provided in the inner surface 102 along the Y-axis direction. This avoids the umbrella 200 from affecting the getting on and off of the vehicle.

[0056] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 1 In some embodiments, the B-pillar 1 is provided with a welding column 121, and the welding hole 32 of the umbrella groove 3 is sleeved on the welding column 121. As shown in Figure 7 In the manufacturing process, the B-pillar 1 can be provided with a welding column precursor 120, and after the welding hole 32 is sleeved on the welding column precursor 120, the welding column precursor 120 can be processed into the welding column 121 by welding, so that the umbrella groove 3 is fixed to the B-pillar 1. The umbrella groove 3 can be easily fixed to the B-pillar 1, avoiding a difficult manufacturing process, and the function of the B-pillar 1 can be easily increased.

[0057] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle including the aforementioned B-pillar assembly 100. The vehicle has a sufficient seating space, and the placement position of the umbrella 200 is provided by arranging the aforementioned B-pillar assembly 100. The vehicle provides a business and home storage capacity, which well meets the use requirements of users and enriches the use scenarios of the vehicle. Even if the passenger enters the vehicle with an umbrella on a rainy day, the internal environment of the vehicle can still be maintained, and the passenger can ride comfortably.

[0058] Any combination of the technical features in the above disclosed embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, it is to be understood that the scope of protection includes all possible combinations of the technical features.

[0059] The above disclosed embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent protection scope of the present application.
