Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive body technology, and in particular to a reinforcement structure for the D-pillar joint of a three-box sedan body. Background Technology
[0002] The D-pillar joint structure is one of the important joint structures in a car body. In common sedans, the connection between the side panel assembly and the rear panel assembly at the D-pillar joint is a single-layer plate connection (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown in the three models a1, a2, and a3), this results in the absence of an effective continuous closed cavity at the rear of the vehicle body, which to some extent affects the body stiffness and modal characteristics;
[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary for this utility model to provide a continuous D-column joint reinforcement structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a D-pillar joint reinforcement structure to solve the problem that an effective continuous closed cavity is not formed at the connection between the D-pillar and the rear assembly of a sedan side assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model discloses a D-pillar joint reinforcement structure, comprising:
[0007] Side outer panels;
[0008] The rear outer panel welded to the rear end of the side outer panel; and
[0009] The body-in-white frame reinforcement structure includes a side panel assembly reinforcement structure A and a rear panel assembly reinforcement structure B. The side panel assembly reinforcement structure A and the rear panel assembly reinforcement structure B are respectively welded to the inner side of the side panel outer plate and the rear panel outer plate and form a continuous structural cavity with them.
[0010] Furthermore, the side panel assembly reinforcement structure A includes a rear drainage channel assembly reinforcement structure, which is used to weld with the side panel outer plate to form the side panel outer plate assembly reinforcement structure.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a side rear connecting plate assembly reinforcement structure, which has a side rear connecting plate and a rear inner plate connecting plate welded to the lower part of the side rear connecting plate.
[0012] The side panel connecting plate, the rear panel connecting plate, and the rear drainage channel assembly reinforcement structure are welded with luggage compartment electric support rod reinforcement plates.
[0013] Furthermore, the rear bulkhead assembly reinforcement B includes the rear bulkhead outer panel and the rear bulkhead inner panel, the rear bulkhead inner panel being welded to the inner side of the rear bulkhead outer panel, and its end being welded to the connecting plate of the rear bulkhead inner panel.
[0014] Furthermore, the rear panel extension plate is welded to the top of the side panel rear panel connecting plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the rear water channel assembly reinforcement structure includes a rear taillight mounting plate and a lower section of the rear water channel welded to the lower part of the rear taillight mounting plate;
[0016] The rear taillight mounting plate is welded to the side panel connecting plate of the rear side panel and the luggage compartment electric support rod reinforcement plate, and the lower section of the rear water channel is welded to the rear inner panel connecting plate.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the D-pillar joint reinforcement structure provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0018] The D-pillar joint reinforcement structure designed in this utility model has a body-in-white frame reinforcement structure welded to the inner side of the side outer panel and the rear outer panel. The body-in-white frame reinforcement structure includes a side assembly reinforcement structure A and a rear assembly reinforcement structure B. The side assembly reinforcement structure A and the rear assembly reinforcement structure B are connected to the rear cargo board extension plate and the rear inner panel connection plate via the side rear panel connecting plate to form a completely continuous structural cavity. In CAE analysis, the degrees of freedom of the center of the left / right rear shock absorbers of the body-in-white are constrained respectively. Z-direction MPC constraints are applied to the mounting holes of the left / right front shock absorbers. Then, a +Z-direction load is applied to the right front shock absorber. Compared with the single-layer plate D-pillar without cavity connection structure in other existing models, the torsional stiffness and modal characteristics of the body-in-white are greatly improved in this respect. This D-pillar joint reinforcement structure not only improves the overall torsional stiffness and modal characteristics of the body and ensures the continuity of the body structure, but also provides an installation position for the rear luggage compartment electric strut.
