[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a vehicle body with a loading space. The vehicle body can be used in a pickup truck, and can also be used in other types of vehicles. The vehicle body provided by the present application includes a cargo box, a high cover, and a water-blocking apron 300.

[0029] The high cover is connected to the top of the cargo box, and the high cover and the cargo box jointly enclose the loading space after being connected. Optionally, the high cover can be connected to the cargo box by means of bolts or the like. Of course, the cargo box and the high cover can also be connected by other means, which are not limited in the present application.

[0030] The water-blocking apron 300 is arranged between the cargo box and the high cover to seal the connection between the cargo box and the high cover. Optionally, the cargo box includes a cargo box outer plate 200, and the water-blocking apron 300 can be located between the cargo box outer plate 200 and the high cover. The water-blocking apron 300 can be adhered to the bottom of the high cover, and the outer edge of the bottom of the high cover can be connected to a ring of water-blocking aprons 300 by means of adhesion or the like to seal the connection between the cargo box and the high cover. Optionally, the material of the water-blocking apron 300 can be rubber, and the water-blocking apron 300 can also be made of other materials with certain elasticity and flexibility to achieve a sealing effect.

[0031] The water-blocking apron 300 has a guide surface 310, which faces the outside of the cargo box, i.e., is exposed to the outside, and is used to guide water to the outside of the cargo box.

[0032] In this embodiment, by adding a water-retaining awning 300 between the cargo box and the high cover, when water falls on the high cover, the water flowing between the high cover and the cargo box will be guided by the guide surface 310 of the water-retaining awning 300 to flow outward from the cargo box, preventing water from entering the loading space through the gap between the cargo box and the high cover. Therefore, the vehicle body disclosed in this embodiment can solve the problem in the prior art where the waterproofing between the cargo box and the high cover is poor, and external water can easily enter the loading space through the gap between the cargo box and the high cover.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the guide surface 310 can be a bent surface, including a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is adjacent to the high cover and can extend in a direction toward the outside of the cargo box (i.e., extend along the direction from the inside of the cargo box to the outside of the cargo box). The second surface is bent and connected to the first surface and extends along the direction from the high cover to the cargo box, so that after water falls on the high cover, it first flows along the high cover to the first surface, then flows along the first surface to the second surface, and finally flows out along the second surface to the outside of the cargo box.

[0034] In another alternative embodiment, the guide surface 310 can be an inclined surface, comprising a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The first side is adjacent to the top cover, and the second side is adjacent to the cargo box. The distance from the first side to the center of the loading space is less than the distance from the second side to the center of the loading space. That is, in the vertical direction, the second side is located below the first side, and in the horizontal direction, the first side and the second side are along the interior of the cargo box (see attached diagram). Figure 1 The side marked "inside" indicates the interior of the container, which is the loading space, extending to the exterior of the container (see attached image). Figure 1 The direction of the second side (marked with "outside") is such that it slopes downward and outward relative to the first side, forming a downward and outward sloping surface. Under this structure, after water falls onto the high cover, it flows along the high cover to the guide surface 310, and then flows along the guide surface 310 to the outside of the cargo box.

[0035] In a further technical solution, the water deflector 300 may not protrude from the outer wall of the cargo box, preventing the part of the water deflector 300 protruding from the outer wall of the cargo box from rubbing against objects outside the vehicle body, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the water deflector 300 or the water deflector 300 warping at the edges.

[0036] In the case that the water-blocking hood 300 is not protruded from the outer wall of the container, the guide surface 310 of the water-blocking hood 300 is also not protruded from the outer wall of the container. Thus, when the vertical projection of the second edge falls on the top surface 210 of the container, after the water falls on the high cover, the water will flow along the high cover to the guide surface 310, then flow along the guide surface 310 to the top surface 210 of the container, then flow along the top surface 210 of the container to the side surface 220 of the container, and finally flow out to the external environment along the side surface 220 of the container. Or, when the vertical projection of the second edge falls within the projection of the side surface 220 of the container, after the water falls on the high cover, the water will flow along the high cover to the guide surface 310, then flow along the guide surface 310 to the side surface 220 of the container, and finally flow out to the external environment along the side surface 220 of the container.

[0037] In order to further improve the sealing performance between the container and the high cover, the container can further comprise a first sealing strip 400, which can be arranged between the container and the high cover to seal the connection between the container and the high cover. In this structure, the gap between the container and the high cover is double-sealed by the water-blocking hood 300 and the first sealing strip 400, thereby improving the sealing performance between the container and the high cover.

[0038] The first sealing strip 400 and the container can be provided with an adhesive layer 500, and the first sealing strip 400 is fixedly connected to the container through the adhesive layer 500. The adhesive layer can be an adhesive layer formed by 3M glue, and of course, it can also be an adhesive layer formed by other adhesives, which are not limited in the present application. Specifically, the top outer edge of the container outer plate 200 can be adhered with a circle of the first sealing strip 400 by 3M glue, so as to seal and connect the container and the high cover by the first sealing strip 400.

[0039] The first sealing strip 400 is fixedly adhered to the container outer plate 200 by the adhesive layer 500, which can prevent the first sealing strip 400 from being curled during the process of assembling the high cover to the container, delay the aging of the first sealing strip 400, and prevent the first sealing strip 400 from being curled due to drying.

[0040] Optionally, the cross section of the first sealing strip 400 can be an arch bridge type cross section. The first sealing strip 400 with this cross section does not affect the appearance of the vehicle body, and is more suitable for sealing between flat structures (in the embodiment of the present application, between the bottom of the high cover and the top of the container), thereby improving the sealing performance between the container and the high cover.

[0041] The outer wall of the first sealing strip 400 can be provided with a water-soluble polyurethane coating, that is, the water-soluble polyurethane coating can be wrapped outside the first sealing strip 400, the thickness of the water-soluble polyurethane coating can be greater than 10 microns, so as to improve the waterproofness, durability and sealing performance of the first sealing strip 400, and the water-soluble polyurethane coating also has a certain sound insulation and shock absorption function, so that the first sealing strip 400 provided with the water-soluble polyurethane coating can also alleviate the abnormal sound problem of the vehicle body during operation.

[0042] In a further technical solution, the water-blocking cape 300 includes a water-blocking portion 320 and an extension portion 330, the water-blocking portion 320 has a guide surface 310, the extension portion 330 is connected to a side of the water-blocking portion 320 facing the loading space (i.e., a side facing away from the outside of the cargo box), and the extension portion 330 abuts against the first sealing strip 400. In this case, in the direction from the outside of the cargo box to the inside of the cargo box, the water-blocking portion 320 forms a first sealing, and the first sealing strip 400 forms a second sealing, and in the direction from the high cover to the cargo box, the extension portion 330 and the first sealing strip 400 also form two sealings, thereby improving the sealing performance between the cargo box and the high cover.

[0043] In order to facilitate loading and unloading of goods in the loading space, the high cover can include a high cover body 100 and a high cover door, the high cover body 100 is connected to the top of the cargo box, the water-blocking cape 300 is located between the cargo box outer plate 200 and the high cover body 100, the high cover body 100 is provided with an opening, and the high cover door is rotatably arranged on the high cover body 100 and used for blocking the opening. When the high cover door is in a closed state, the high cover door blocks the opening, and when the high cover door is in an open state, the opening is exposed to the outside to facilitate loading or unloading.

[0044] In order to improve the sealing performance between the high cover body 100 and the high cover door, a second sealing strip can be arranged between the high cover body 100 and the high cover door, the high cover body 100 has an abutting area for abutting against the high cover door, the abutting area is distributed around the opening, and in the case that the high cover door is in a closed state, the high cover door abuts against the abutting area to block the opening. The abutting area can be attached with a ring of second sealing strips, or the edge of the high cover door can be attached with a ring of second sealing strips, and in the case that the high cover door is in a closed state, the second sealing strips abut against the abutting area to seal the gap between the high cover body 100 and the high cover door.
