Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular, to a reinforcing structure and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Safety performance is an important indicator of vehicle performance. The B-pillar, as an important part of the vehicle body structure, is usually located between the front door and the rear door. When the vehicle is subjected to a side collision, the B-pillar can protect the safety of the occupants by bearing the weight of the roof and resisting the side collision force, since the B-pillar connects the roof and the bottom of the vehicle body.

[0003] For the body structure of a convertible, the force transmission channel between the two B-pillars is reduced due to the absence of the roof structure. When the vehicle is subjected to a side collision, the B-pillar position intrusion amount is large, which can cause harm to the occupants and reduce the safety of the vehicle. Therefore, the convertible needs to add a B-pillar reinforcing structure.

[0004] In related technologies, the B-pillar reinforcing structure corresponds to both ends of the B-pillar in the height direction to reinforce the B-pillar in the height direction. However, the vibration generated when the front door and the rear door are closed can cause impact on the areas of the B-pillar close to the front door and close to the rear door, and there is still a risk of B-pillar deformation. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a reinforcing structure and a vehicle, which can improve the structural strength of the B-pillar of the convertible and reduce the risk of B-pillar deformation to improve the safety of the vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a reinforcing structure arranged on a B-pillar, which comprises:

[0008] a first reinforcing member connected to the B-pillar and a floor;

[0009] a second reinforcing member arranged side by side with the first reinforcing member along the forward direction of the vehicle, the second reinforcing member being connected to the B-pillar and the floor, and the second reinforcing member being connected to the first reinforcing member;

[0010] wherein the first reinforcing member is located at one end of the B-pillar close to the front door, the second reinforcing member is located at one end of the B-pillar close to the rear door, and the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member are used to support the B-pillar along the forward direction of the vehicle.

[0011] The reinforcing structure provided by the embodiments of the present application connects the B pillar and the floor through the first reinforcing member, so that the first reinforcing member can transmit the impact force received by the B pillar to the floor when the vehicle is subjected to side impact. The floor has a large supporting surface, and the floor can provide stable support for the B pillar through the first reinforcing member, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the B pillar and preventing the B pillar from deforming.

[0012] In addition, the first reinforcing member is located at one end of the B pillar close to the front side door, and the first reinforcing member can improve the structural strength of the B pillar in the region close to the front side door, so as to reduce the possibility that the deformation of the B pillar is caused by the acting force of the front side door on the B pillar when the front side door is closed.

[0015] In addition, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member are arranged side by side in the forward direction of the vehicle. Since the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member can be connected to the regions of the B pillar close to the front side door and the rear side door respectively, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member can improve the structural strength of the B pillar in the forward direction of the vehicle, so as to more effectively reduce the influence of the vibration of the front side door and the rear side door on the structural strength of the B pillar.

Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0065] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the orientation terms such as "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" are defined with respect to the orientation of the components shown in the drawings, and it should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, which are used for relative description and clarification, and can be changed accordingly according to the change of the orientation of the components placed in the drawings.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, "connection" can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "include", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitation, the element defined by the sentence "including a…" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the use of the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner.

[0069] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle, it should be noted that the vehicle in the present application can refer to large cars, small cars, special purpose cars and the like. For example, according to the vehicle type, the car in the present application can be a sedan type, can also be an off-road type, can also be a multi-purpose (MPV) type or other types. For vehicles, generally provided with wheels, power sources, and transmission systems between the wheels and the power sources, the transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels to drive the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.

[0070] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the type of power source of the vehicle is not limited. For example, for a fuel vehicle, the power source can refer to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine or the like; for an electric vehicle, the power source can refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source can refer to an engine or an electric motor; and for a vehicle powered in other ways, the power source can refer to a device that generates power.

[0071] The vehicle body structure of the vehicle includes an A-pillar, a B-pillar and a C-pillar. The A-pillar, the B-pillar and the C-pillar can constitute the framework of the vehicle body to provide a safe riding environment for the occupants.

[0072] For example, taking a four-door vehicle as an example, the A-pillar is located between the front compartment and the driver's cabin. The A-pillar is mainly used to support the top of the driver's cabin and can protect the occupants in the driver's cabin from impact from the front. The B-pillar refers to the pillar between the front side door and the rear side door. The B-pillar is mainly used to withstand side impact. When the vehicle is side-impacted or side-tilted, the B-pillar can absorb and buffer the energy in the side impact to effectively protect the safety of the occupants in the vehicle. The C-pillar refers to the pillar on both sides of the rear windshield. The C-pillar is mainly used to withstand and disperse the impact in the rear-end collision to effectively protect the safety of the occupants in the vehicle.

[0073] The vehicle can include a convertible according to the roof classification. Based on the body structure of the convertible. The absence of the convertible roof structure reduces the force transmission channel between the two B-pillars. When the vehicle is side-impacted, the B-pillar position intrusion amount is large, which can cause harm to the occupants in the vehicle and reduce the safety of the vehicle.

[0074] Therefore, the convertible usually needs to add a B-pillar reinforcing structure. In the related art, the B-pillar reinforcing structure corresponds to both ends of the B-pillar in the height direction to reinforce the B-pillar in the height direction. However, the vibration generated when the front side door and the rear side door are closed can easily cause impact on the areas of the B-pillar close to the front side door and close to the rear side door, and there is still a risk of B-pillar deformation.

[0075] Embodiments of the present application provide a reinforcing structure, which is mainly applied to the B-pillar to improve the structural strength of the B-pillar. Wherein, by setting the first reinforcing member close to the front side door of the B-pillar, the structural strength of the B-pillar in the area close to the front side door can be improved, so that the vibration generated when the front side door is closed will not cause local deformation of the B-pillar. By setting the second reinforcing member close to the rear side door of the B-pillar, the structural strength of the B-pillar in the area close to the rear side door can be improved, so that the vibration generated when the rear side door is closed will not cause local deformation of the B-pillar.

[0076] Since the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member are arranged side by side along the advancing direction of the vehicle and the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member are connected, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member can reinforce the B-pillar along the advancing direction of the vehicle to improve the strength of the overall structure of the B-pillar, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of deformation of the B-pillar and affecting the safety of the driver and passengers in the vehicle when the vehicle is subjected to a side impact.

[0077] On this basis, with reference to Figures 1 to 8 The embodiment of the present application provides a reinforcing structure 100, which is arranged on a B-pillar 200. The reinforcing structure 100 can include a first reinforcing member 110 and a second reinforcing member 120.

[0078] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first reinforcing member 110 can connect the B-pillar 200 and the floor 300. Along the advancing direction X of the vehicle 10, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 are arranged side by side, the second reinforcing member 120 can connect the B-pillar 200 and the floor 300, and the second reinforcing member 120 can be connected with the first reinforcing member 110.

[0079] The first reinforcing member 110 is located on the B-pillar 200 close to the front door 500. The second reinforcing member 120 is located on the B-pillar 200 close to the rear door 600. The first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 are used to support the B-pillar 200 along the advancing direction X of the vehicle 10.

[0080] In order to better illustrate the reinforcing structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the advancing direction X of the vehicle 10 refers to the direction in which the vehicle 10 travels forward. Along the advancing direction X of the vehicle 10, the front door 500 of the vehicle 10 is closer to the front compartment of the vehicle 10 relative to the rear door 600. Therefore, the front side direction of the vehicle 10 refers to the direction in which the B-pillar 200 faces the front door 500. The front side direction of the vehicle 10 refers to the direction in which the B-pillar 200 faces the rear door 600.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the first reinforcing member 110 connects the B-pillar 200 and the floor 300, so that when the vehicle 10 is subjected to a side impact, the first reinforcing member 110 can transmit the impact force received by the B-pillar 200 to the floor 300. The floor 300 has a large supporting surface, and the floor 300 can provide stable support for the B-pillar 200 through the first reinforcing member 110, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the B-pillar 200, so that the B-pillar 200 is not easy to deform.

[0082] In addition, since the first reinforcing member 110 is located on the B pillar 200 close to one end of the front side door 500, the first reinforcing member 110 can improve the structural strength of the B pillar 200 in the region close to the front side door 500, so as to reduce the possibility that the force of the front side door 500 causes the B pillar 200 to deform when the front side door 500 is closed.

[0083] Similarly, the second reinforcing member 120 can connect the B pillar 200 and the floor 300, and thus, the second reinforcing member 120 can transmit the impact force received by the B pillar 200 to the floor 300 when the vehicle 10 is subjected to a side impact, so as to provide stable support for the B pillar 200 by the large support surface of the floor 300, thereby improving the structural strength of the B pillar 200 and reducing the possibility that the B pillar 200 deforms.

[0084] In addition, since the second reinforcing member 120 is located on the B pillar 200 close to one end of the rear side door 600, the second reinforcing member 120 can improve the structural strength of the B pillar 200 in the region close to the rear side door 600, so as to reduce the possibility that the force of the rear side door 600 causes the B pillar 200 to deform when the rear side door 600 is closed.

[0085] In addition, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 are arranged side by side in the forward direction X of the vehicle 10. Since the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can be connected to the regions of the B pillar 200 close to the front side door 500 and the rear side door 600 respectively, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can improve the structural strength of the B pillar 200 in the forward direction X of the vehicle 10, so as to more effectively reduce the influence of the vibration of the front side door 500 and the rear side door 600 on the structural strength of the B pillar 200.

[0086] In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the connection of the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can mean that the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 are directly connected in contact, or the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 are indirectly connected through other adapter structures, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the connection mode of the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 is not limited, as long as the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can form an integral structure.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can surround to form an accommodation space. The accommodation space has an avoiding opening 100a. The avoiding opening 100a is arranged opposite to the B pillar 200.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, the accommodating space surrounded by the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can be used to accommodate a structure such as a seat belt retractor. Therefore, in the case where the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 have a reinforcing effect, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can also have an accommodating effect by using their own structures, so that it is no longer necessary to additionally provide a structure for accommodating the seat belt retractor.

[0090] The accommodating space can have an avoiding opening 100a opposite to the B pillar 200. The avoiding opening 100a can be used to facilitate the installation of the seat belt retractor. In addition, the avoiding opening 100a can also facilitate the passing of the seat belt.

[0091] In some examples, the accommodating space can have a mounting opening 100b upward along the height direction Y of the vehicle 10. The mounting opening 100b can be in communication with the avoiding opening 100a to provide sufficient mounting space for the seat belt retractor.

[0092] On this basis, with reference to Figure 4 Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments of the present application, the first reinforcing member 110 can include a first inclined support portion 111. The first inclined support portion 111 is arranged obliquely relative to the B pillar 200, and the first inclined support portion 111 is arranged obliquely relative to the floor 300. Along the height direction Y of the vehicle 10, both ends of the first inclined support portion 111 are connected to the B pillar 200 and the floor 300, respectively.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the first inclined support portion 111 is arranged obliquely relative to the B pillar 200, and the first inclined support portion 111 is also arranged obliquely relative to the floor 300. Therefore, the first inclined support portion 111, the B pillar 200 and the floor 300 can form a stable triangular support structure, which is conducive to improving the supporting effect of the first reinforcing member 110 on the B pillar 200, thereby improving the structural strength of the B pillar 200 to prevent the B pillar 200 from being deformed when the vehicle 10 is subjected to a side impact or when the front side door 500 and the rear side door 600 are closed.

[0094] In some examples, along the height direction Y of the vehicle 10 from top to bottom, the cross-sectional area of the first inclined support portion 111 can gradually increase. The cross section is parallel to the floor 300. As the cross-sectional area of the first inclined support portion 111 gradually increases, the connection reliability of the first inclined support portion 111 and the floor 300 is higher, and the force transmission effect of the impact force received by the B pillar 200 is also better. Therefore, the supporting effect on the B pillar 200 can be more effectively improved through the floor 300, and the possibility of deformation of the B pillar 200 can be reduced.

[0095] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, with reference to​Figure 4 、 Figures 12 to 14 The second reinforcing member 120 can include a second inclined support portion 121. The second inclined support portion 121 is arranged obliquely with respect to the B pillar 200, and the second inclined support portion 121 is arranged obliquely with respect to the floor 300. In the height direction Y of the vehicle 10, both ends of the second inclined support portion 121 are connected to the B pillar 200 and the floor 300, respectively.

[0096] In the embodiment, the second inclined support portion 121 is arranged obliquely with respect to the B pillar 200, and the second inclined support portion 121 is arranged obliquely with respect to the floor 300. Therefore, the second inclined support portion 121, the B pillar 200, and the floor 300 can form a stable triangular support structure, which is beneficial to improve the support effect of the second reinforcing member 120 on the B pillar 200, thereby improving the structural strength of the B pillar 200 when the vehicle 10 is subjected to side impact or the front side door 500 and the rear side door 600 are closed.

[0097] In some examples, in the height direction Y of the vehicle 10, the cross-sectional area of the second inclined support portion 121 can gradually increase from top to bottom. The cross section is parallel to the floor 300. As the cross-sectional area of the second inclined support portion 121 gradually increases, the connection reliability of the second inclined support portion 121 and the floor 300 is higher, and the force transmission effect of the impact force received by the B pillar 200 is also better. Therefore, the support effect on the B pillar 200 can be more effectively improved through the floor 300 to reduce the possibility of deformation of the B pillar 200.

[0098] In addition, it should be noted that in the embodiment, the first reinforcing member 110 and the floor 300 can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through other structural members. The second reinforcing member 120 and the floor 300 can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through other structural members. In the embodiment, it is not limited.

[0099] Referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figures 15 to 17 In some embodiments of the application, the reinforcing structure 100 can further include a third reinforcing member 130. The third reinforcing member 130 connects the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120, so that the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120, and the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected to form an integral structure. The third reinforcing member 130 is connected to the floor 300.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcing member 130 can be used to connect the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120, so that the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the third reinforcing member 130 can form an integral whole, which is conducive to improving the overall strength of the reinforcing structure 100. Moreover, in the assembly process, the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected to the B-pillar 200 and the floor 300 after forming an integral whole, which is conducive to simplifying the assembly process and reducing the processing cost.

[0101] On the other hand, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can both increase the contact area with the floor 300 through the third reinforcing member 130, so as to improve the connection strength between the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the floor 300 through the third reinforcing member 130.

[0102] In some examples, since the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected to the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 respectively, the third reinforcing member 130 can have a larger surface area. When the vehicle 10 is subjected to a side impact, the impact force received by the B-pillar 200 can be transmitted to the third reinforcing member 130 with a larger area, and then transmitted to the floor 300 through the third reinforcing member 130, which is conducive to improving the support stability of the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 to the B-pillar 200.

[0103] In some examples, the first reinforcing member 110 and the second reinforcing member 120 can be located on the side of the third reinforcing member 130 away from the floor 300.

[0104] It should be noted that the connection mode of the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the third reinforcing member 130 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected to form an integral structure through a welding process. Alternatively, the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120 and the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected by locking members to form an integral structure.

[0105] Reference Figure 15 In some embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcing member 130 can include a first mounting portion 131. The first mounting portion 131 has a first face 131a and a second face 131b which are opposite along the height direction Y of the vehicle 10. The first face 131a is away from the floor 300. The first face 131a can be used to connect the first reinforcing member 110. The second face 131b is towards the floor 300. The second face 131b can be used to connect the seat mounting beam 400.

[0106] The seat mounting beam 400 is arranged on the floor 300. The seat mounting beam 400 is used to fix the seat to the floor 300.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected to the first reinforcing member 110 and the floor 300 through the first mounting portion 131. The first face 131a of the first mounting portion 131 can be used to connect to the first reinforcing member 110. The second face 131b of the first mounting portion 131 can be used to connect to the seat mounting beam 400.

[0108] In some examples, the contact area between the first reinforcing member 110 and the first face 131a of the third reinforcing member 130 can be greater than the contact area between the first reinforcing member 110 and the B pillar 200, so that stable support can be formed between the first reinforcing member 110 and the third reinforcing member 130.

[0109] Referring to Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments of the present application, the first reinforcing member 110 can include a first bent portion 112. The first bent portion 112 is arranged at the edge of the first inclined support portion 111 towards the front side direction of the vehicle 10.

[0110] The first inclined support portion 111 is connected to the surface of the B pillar 200 facing the interior space of the vehicle 10. The first bent portion 112 is fitted to the surface of the B pillar 200 facing the front side direction of the vehicle 10, and the first bent portion 112 is connected to the first mounting portion 131.

[0111] It should be noted that the interior space of the vehicle 10 refers to the space accommodating the occupants. The surface of the B pillar 200 facing the interior space of the vehicle 10 can refer to the surface of the B pillar 200 facing the interior space along the width direction Z of the vehicle 10.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, the first inclined support portion 111 and the first bent portion 112 can be connected to different surfaces of the B pillar 200, respectively, to increase the connection area between the first reinforcing member 110 and the B pillar 200 and improve the connection stability of the first reinforcing member 110 and the B pillar 200. In addition, the first inclined support portion 111 and the first bent portion 112 have a bending angle therebetween, which can improve the structural strength of the first reinforcing member 110 itself.

[0113] In addition, the first bent portion 112 can also be connected to the first mounting portion 131 to increase the contact area between the first reinforcing member 110 and the third reinforcing member 130.

[0114] Referring to Figure 15In some embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcement 130 can further include a second mounting portion 132. The second mounting portion 132 has a third surface 132a and a fourth surface 132b facing away from each other along the vehicle height direction Y. The third surface 132a faces away from the floor 300 and can be used to connect with the second reinforcement 120. The fourth surface 132b faces towards the floor 300 and can be used to connect with the floor 300.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcement 130 can be connected with the second reinforcement 120 and the floor 300 through the second mounting portion 132. The third surface 132a of the second mounting portion 132 can be used to connect with the second reinforcement 120. The fourth surface 132b of the second mounting portion 132 can be used to connect with the floor 300.

[0116] In some examples, the contact area between the second reinforcement 120 and the first surface 131a of the third reinforcement 130 can be greater than the contact area between the second reinforcement 120 and the B pillar 200, so that stable support can be formed between the second reinforcement 120 and the third reinforcement 130.

[0117] Referring to Figures 12 to 14 In some embodiments of the present application, the second reinforcement 120 can include a second bent portion 122. The second bent portion 122 can be arranged at the edge of the second inclined support portion 121 facing the rear side direction of the vehicle 10.

[0118] The second inclined support portion 121 is connected with the surface of the B pillar 200 facing the interior space of the vehicle 10. The second bent portion 122 is connected with the surface of the B pillar 200 facing the rear side direction of the vehicle 10, and the second bent portion 122 is connected with the second mounting portion 132.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present application, the second inclined support portion 121 and the second bent portion 122 can be connected with different surfaces of the B pillar 200 respectively, so as to increase the connection area between the second reinforcement 120 and the B pillar 200 and improve the connection stability of the second reinforcement 120 and the B pillar 200. In addition, the second inclined support portion 121 and the second bent portion 122 have a bending angle therebetween, which can improve the structural strength of the second reinforcement 120 itself.

[0120] In addition, the second bent portion 122 can also be connected with the second mounting portion 132, so as to increase the contact area between the second reinforcement 120 and the third reinforcement 130.

[0121] In some examples, the second mounting portion 132 can further include a third bent portion 1321 connecting the third surface 132a and the fourth surface 132b. The second bent portion 122 and the third bent portion 1321 can be in close contact with each other.

[0122] In some examples, since the seat mounting beam 400 is arranged on the floor 300, the seat mounting beam 400 can protrude from the surface of the floor 300. Therefore, there can be a height difference between the second surface 131b for connecting with the seat mounting beam 400 and the fourth surface 132b for connecting with the floor 300.

[0123] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 16 In some embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcing member 130 can further include a third mounting portion. The third mounting portion 133 is used to connect with the rocker beam 700.

[0124] The rocker beam 700 is located below the front side door 500 and the rear side door 600. The rocker beam 700 can extend along the forward direction X of the vehicle 10. The rocker beam 700 can enhance the overall strength of the vehicle body.

[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, the third reinforcing member 130 can be connected with the rocker beam 700 through the third mounting portion 133. Therefore, the third reinforcing member 130 can connect the B-pillar 200, the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120, the floor 300, the seat mounting beam 400 and the rocker beam 700, so that the B-pillar 200, the first reinforcing member 110, the second reinforcing member 120, the third reinforcing member 130, the floor 300, the seat mounting beam 400 and the rocker beam 700 form an integral whole, thereby more effectively improving the strength of the B-pillar 200, and further improving the overall strength of the vehicle body.

[0126] The embodiments of the present application can also provide a vehicle 10. The vehicle 10 can include the B-pillar 200, the floor 300 and the reinforcing structure 100 in any of the above embodiments. The B-pillar 200 and the floor 300 are both connected with the reinforcing structure 100.

[0127] Therefore, the reinforcing structure 100 can have the effect of supporting the B-pillar 200, and also have the effect of connecting the B-pillar 200 and the floor 300, and can improve the structural strength of the B-pillar 200, so that when the vehicle 10 is subjected to a side impact or the front side door 500 or the rear side door 600 is closed and vibrates, the B-pillar 200 can transmit the above-mentioned force to the floor 300 through the reinforcing structure 100, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the B-pillar 200, and improving the safety of the occupants in the vehicle 10.

[0128] The vehicle 10 can include two opposite B-pillars 200 along the width direction Z of the vehicle 10. Each B-pillar 200 can be provided with a reinforcing structure 100 respectively.

[0129] It should be noted that the two reinforcing structures 100 corresponding to the two B-pillars 200 are not directly connected with each other. The two reinforcing structures 100 are both connected with the floor 300.

[0130] The above-mentioned sequence numbers of the embodiments of the present application are only for description, and do not represent advantages or disadvantages of the embodiments. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
