Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0028] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "horizontal," "vertical," "front," and "rear" are defined according to the vehicle's direction of use. "Hyper" refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle body, and "vertical" refers to the front-rear direction. In the diagram, the x-axis is longitudinal, the y-axis is lateral, and the z-axis is vertical. "Inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. For example, in this text, the outer side of the storage panel refers to the opposite side that constitutes the storage cavity, and the side that constitutes the storage cavity is the inner side.

[0029] In the field of vehicle design, body design is crucial. With the development of the automotive industry, user needs are becoming increasingly diverse, and traditional body designs are no longer sufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a completely new body to meet these diverse user demands.

[0030] Current vehicle designs employ relatively traditional storage space solutions. A common approach is to include a standard storage compartment in the center of the bottom of the trunk for storing a spare tire or other items. Some models also expand trunk space by folding down the rear seats. This disclosure improves upon existing vehicle designs to further increase the vehicle's storage space.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3This disclosure provides a vehicle body including a rear longitudinal beam 10, a side panel 20, a rear wheel arch 80, and a side storage panel 30 connected to the rear longitudinal beam 10. At least a portion of the side storage panel 30 is disposed between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side panel 20. For example, the side storage panel 30 may be entirely disposed between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side panel 20, or a portion of the side storage panel 30 may be disposed between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side panel 20, with other portions extending to other areas, such as extending to the side of the rear longitudinal beam 10 away from the side panel 20. Furthermore, at least a portion of the side storage panel 30 is located behind the rear wheel arch 80, such as being entirely located behind the rear wheel arch 80, or being partially located behind the rear wheel arch 80, with other portions located on the lateral side of the rear wheel arch 80. A side storage cavity 301 is provided between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side panel 20. The side storage plate 30 is connected to the rear wheel arch 80 and the side panel 20, and the side storage plate 30, the rear wheel arch 80, and the side panel 20 constitute at least part of the cavity wall of the side storage cavity 301. For example, it can constitute the entire cavity wall of the side storage cavity 301, or it can be combined with structures such as the rear floor 50 or the rear panel to form the entire cavity wall of the side storage cavity 301. The structure of the side storage plate 30 can be designed according to the required structure of the side storage cavity 301. It is understood that the side storage cavity 301 is constructed as a recessed storage space, and the specific recessed shape can be adapted to the actual space and surrounding structure. In this embodiment, the side storage cavity 301 is located on the side of the rear longitudinal beam 10 away from the vehicle center, so as to utilize the side of the rear longitudinal beam 10 away from the vehicle center to arrange the storage space. Here, the vehicle center can be understood as the center of the vehicle width.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, at least a portion of the side storage panel 30 is disposed between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side wall 20, and a side storage cavity 301 is provided between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side wall 20. The side storage panel 30, the rear wheel arch 80, and the side wall 20 are connected to form at least a portion of the cavity wall of the side storage cavity 301. This fully utilizes the space on the side of the vehicle as storage space, increasing the vehicle's storage space and improving the space utilization rate. Furthermore, this side storage space can be used to store small tools or items, facilitating the classification of smaller items and making it easier for users to quickly find them. In addition, at least a portion of the side storage panel 30 is located behind the rear wheel arch 80, which can protect the rear wheel 1 when the rear of the vehicle is subjected to load, reducing the risk of the rear wheel 1 falling off due to direct impact force.

[0033] It should be noted that the side storage panel 30 and the rear longitudinal beam 10 can be directly connected or indirectly connected. For example, the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side storage panel 30 can be connected through the rear floor 50. Specifically, the rear longitudinal beam 10 can be connected to the lower side of the rear floor 50, and the side storage panel 30 can be connected to the upper side of the rear floor 50.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, the side storage panel 30 may include a first base plate 31 and a first side plate 32 connected to each other. The first side plate 32 extends upward from the first base plate 31 and obliquely away from the side storage cavity 301. The first side plate 32 is connected to the rear longitudinal beam 10, and the first base plate 31 is connected to the rear wheel arch 80 and the side panel 20. The first base plate 31 can provide support when storing items, and the first side plate 32 can provide circumferential restraint. In some embodiments, two first side plates 32 may be provided on opposite sides of the vehicle body in the lateral direction. One of the two first side plates 32 may be connected to the rear longitudinal beam 10 or the rear floor 50 mentioned below, and the other may be connected to the side panel 20 to connect between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side panel 20. In some embodiments, two first side plates 32 may also be provided on opposite sides of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction, which can be used to connect to the rear wheel arch 80 and the rear panel respectively.

[0035] The side storage panel 30 may also be provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which can be distributed at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, that is, at intervals along the x-direction. By providing reinforcing ribs, the structural strength of the side storage panel 30 can be improved.

[0036] In some embodiments, a side storage box 302 may be provided in the side storage cavity 301 to make the side storage space more regular and prevent items from shaking over a large range.

[0037] The side storage box 302 can be movably disposed within the side storage cavity 301, allowing the user to easily remove the side storage box 302 from the side storage cavity 301 and place items therein, ensuring sufficient operating space for the user. The side storage box 302 may have a portion extending out of the side storage cavity 301, which can be mounted on other surrounding structures, such as the rear floor 50, to ensure the stability of the side storage box 302 and facilitate user access.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 As shown, there are two rear longitudinal beams 10, namely the left rear longitudinal beam 11 and the right rear longitudinal beam 12; there are two side panels 20, namely the left side panel 21 and the right side panel 22; there are two rear wheel covers 80, namely the left rear wheel cover and the right rear wheel cover; there are two side storage panels 30, namely the left side storage panel 33 and the right side storage panel 34; there are two side storage cavities 301, namely the left side storage cavity and the right side storage cavity. At least a portion of the left side storage panel 33 is disposed between the left rear longitudinal beam 11 and the left side panel 21, and at least a portion of the left side storage panel 33 is located behind the left rear wheel cover. A left side storage cavity is provided between the left rear longitudinal beam 11 and the left side panel 21. Similarly, at least a portion of the right storage panel 34 is disposed between the right rear longitudinal beam 12 and the right side enclosure 22, and at least a portion of the right storage panel 34 is located behind the right rear wheel arch, and a right storage cavity is provided between the right rear longitudinal beam 12 and the right side enclosure 22.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The vehicle body may include a central storage panel 40 connected to the rear longitudinal beam 10, and a central storage cavity 401 may be provided on the side of the rear longitudinal beam 10 near the center of the vehicle body. The central storage panel 40 and the rear longitudinal beam 10 may be directly connected or indirectly connected. For example, the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the central storage panel 40 may be connected via the rear floor 50. Specifically, the rear longitudinal beam 10 may be connected to the lower side of the rear floor 50, and the central storage panel 40 may be connected to the upper side of the rear floor 50. The central storage panel 40 may constitute at least a portion of the cavity wall of the central storage cavity 401. For example, the central storage panel 40 may constitute the entire cavity wall of the central storage cavity 401. Alternatively, the central storage panel 40 may cooperate with the rear longitudinal beam 10 or other peripheral structures to form the central storage cavity 401. For instance, the entire cavity wall of the central storage cavity 401 may be formed by the central storage panel 40, the first rear floor lower crossbeam 51, and the rear bulkhead assembly 60. The structure of the intermediate storage panel 40 can be designed according to the required structure of the intermediate storage cavity 401. It is understood that the intermediate storage cavity 401 is constructed as a recessed storage space, and the specific shape of the recess can be adapted to the actual space and surrounding structure. By providing the intermediate storage cavity 401, the rear storage space of the vehicle body can be further increased. The intermediate storage cavity 401 can be used to house a spare tire or other vehicle tools. In this embodiment, when there is a left rear longitudinal beam 11 and a right rear longitudinal beam 12, the intermediate storage cavity 401 can be provided between the left rear longitudinal beam 11 and the right rear longitudinal beam 12.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the intermediate storage panel 40 may include a second base plate 41 and a second side plate 42 connected to each other. The second side plate 42 extends upward from the second base plate 41 and tilts away from the intermediate storage cavity 401. The second base plate 41 can provide support when storing items, and the second side plate 42 can provide circumferential restraint. Two second side plates 42 may be provided on opposite sides of the vehicle body laterally. When the rear longitudinal beam 10 includes a left rear longitudinal beam 11 and a right rear longitudinal beam 12, one of the two second side plates 42 can be connected to the left rear longitudinal beam 11 and the other can be connected to the right rear longitudinal beam 12, so that the space between the left and right rear longitudinal beams 10 connected to the intermediate storage panel 40 is fully utilized.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4The vehicle body may include a front floor 110 and a rear floor 50 arranged longitudinally from front to back. A front floor crossbeam 111 may be provided at the front floor 110, and a first rear floor lower crossbeam 51, a rear floor upper crossbeam 53, and a second rear floor lower crossbeam 52 may be provided longitudinally from back to front at intervals. The first rear floor lower crossbeam 51 and the second rear floor lower crossbeam 52 may be located below the rear floor 50, and the first rear floor lower crossbeam 51 may be located behind the second rear floor lower crossbeam 52, while the rear floor upper crossbeam 53 may be located above the rear floor 50. A rear bulkhead assembly 60 may also be provided behind the rear floor 50. The rear bulkhead assembly 60 includes a rear bulkhead crossbeam 61, which can be formed by fastening an inner rear bulkhead panel 611 and an outer rear bulkhead panel 612. A rear bumper beam 100 may be provided behind the rear bulkhead crossbeam 61. In this embodiment, the aforementioned crossbeams can all be connected to the rear longitudinal beam 10, and are all constructed as hollow structures to enhance rigidity and achieve collision transmission.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The intermediate storage panel 40 can be connected to the rear end of the first rear floor underpass beam 51. The first rear floor underpass beam 51 can provide support and installation for the intermediate storage panel 40, and enhance the load-bearing stability of the intermediate storage panel 40. Specifically, when the second side panel 42 is provided, the second side panel 42 can be connected to the first rear floor underpass beam 51. Specifically, the second side panel 42, the first rear floor underpass beam 51, and the rear floor 50 can be stacked and connected in the vehicle height direction, or the second side panel 42 and the first rear floor underpass beam 51 can be stacked and connected in the front-rear direction.

[0043] To ensure sufficient space in the front-rear direction of the intermediate storage cavity 401 and maximize space utilization, the front end of the intermediate storage panel 40 can be fitted and connected to the first rear floor under-beam 51 along the front-rear direction. For example, the second side plate 42 on the front side of the intermediate storage panel 40 can overlap with the first rear floor under-beam 51 in the front-rear direction to increase the connection area, which facilitates the support and installation of the intermediate storage panel 40 by the first rear floor under-beam 51. The two can be welded in this overlapping area. In addition, the rear end of the intermediate storage panel 40 can be connected to the rear outer panel 612.

[0044] Reference Figure 4As shown, the rear enclosure assembly 60 may include a rear enclosure cover 62, which covers the rear enclosure crossbeam 61. A central storage box 402 may be provided in the central storage cavity 401 to make the central storage space more organized and prevent items from shaking excessively. The central storage box 402 can be movably disposed in the central storage cavity 401 to facilitate the removal of the central storage box 402 from the central storage cavity 401 for placing and removing items, ensuring sufficient operating space for the user. The central storage box 402 may have a portion extending out of the central storage cavity 401, which can be hung on other peripheral locations, such as the rear longitudinal beam 10, to ensure the stability of the central storage box 402 and facilitate user access. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The rear cover 62 can be supported at the rear end of the intermediate storage box 402, so as to utilize the structure of the intermediate storage box 402 to support the rear cover 62. Specifically, the second side plate 42 at the rear end of the intermediate storage box 402 can have a notch, and the rear cover 62 can extend forward and downward in a stepped shape to avoid occupying storage space. The extended end of the rear cover 62 can overlap the notch of the intermediate storage box.

[0045] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 A rear storage space 701 is provided between the rear floor crossbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead assembly 60. The rear floor 50, the intermediate storage panel 40, and the rear bulkhead assembly 60 constitute at least part of the cavity wall of the rear storage space 701. For example, the rear floor 50, the intermediate storage panel 40, and the rear bulkhead assembly 60 together constitute the entire cavity wall of the rear storage space 701. Alternatively, the rear floor 50, the intermediate storage panel 40, the rear bulkhead assembly 60, and other vehicle body structures such as the rear floor crossbeam 53 can be combined to form the entire cavity wall of the rear storage space 701. The intermediate storage cavity 401 can constitute part of the rear storage space 701. The rear floor crossbeam 53 is located above the rear floor 50 and is therefore higher than the rear floor 50. The rear bulkhead assembly 60 is also higher than the rear floor 50. Through the cooperation between these structures, the rear storage space 701 is enclosed in the rear compartment, increasing the vehicle's storage space.

[0046] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the vehicle body may include a rear cargo cover 70 covering the rear cargo storage space 701. The rear cargo cover 70 serves as the bottom support plate in the luggage compartment for placing items. The rear cargo cover 70 can overlap the rear floor crossbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead assembly 60 at both ends along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, such as overlapping the rear bulkhead cover 62. The rear bulkhead cover 62 is supported on the intermediate storage box 402, which is located on the intermediate storage panel 40. The intermediate storage panel 40 can be connected to the first rear floor under-beam 51, thus allowing the rear cargo cover 70 to be indirectly supported by the first rear floor under-beam 51. That is, the rear cargo cover 70 can be supported by both the rear floor crossbeam 53 and the first rear floor under-beam 51, ensuring stability. In this embodiment, even when the first rear floor under-beam 51 is located at the bottom of the rear floor 50, the rear cargo cover 70 can still be indirectly supported by the structure, making the various structures interconnected. The upper surface of the rear hatch cover 70 can be constructed as a flat surface, so that the upper surface of the rear hatch cover 70 is a completely flat space, which facilitates the placement of items in the luggage compartment.

[0047] The lower surface of the rear hatch cover 70 may be provided with reinforcing ribs to improve the structural strength of the rear hatch cover 70 without affecting the flat placement of items on the surface of the rear hatch cover 70.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the front end of the rear cover plate 62 can be formed with a stepped surface 621, and the crossbeam 53 on the rear floor can be formed with an overlapping surface 531. The rear hatch cover plate 70 overlaps with the stepped surface 621 and the overlapping surface 531. The stepped surface 621 and the overlapping surface 531 are flush to facilitate the arrangement of the rear hatch cover plate 70.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 The first rear floor underbeam 51 is located behind the rear floor underbeam 53 and in front of the rear bulkhead beam 61. The first rear floor underbeam 51 is configured to longitudinally avoid the rear compartment storage space 701 between the rear floor underbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead beam 61. That is to say, in the fore-and-aft direction, the first rear floor underbeam 51 will not obstruct the space between the rear floor underbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead beam 61. Specifically, the highest point of the first rear floor underbeam 51 can be lower than the lowest point of the rear floor underbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead beam 61, so as to ensure that the rear compartment storage space 701 between the rear floor underbeam 53 and the rear bulkhead beam 61 is unobstructed.

[0050] The side storage compartment 301 can be connected to the rear storage space 701. This connection creates an integrated space beneath the rear cover 70. The side storage compartment 301 and the middle storage compartment 401 can be opened simultaneously when the user opens the rear cover 70.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a side storage cavity 301 between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the rear side panel 20, on the one hand, the storage space at the rear of the vehicle body can be increased, and on the other hand, when the vehicle body is rear-ended, the side storage cavity 301 can act as a force transmission cavity to disperse the force transmission, so that the force can be transmitted forward through the force transmission cavity.

[0052] exist Figure 3 The approximate relative position of the rear wheel 1 to the vehicle body is shown in a box. In this embodiment, the rear wheel 1 is protected by at least a portion of the side storage panel 30 being located behind the rear wheel arch 80. The rear wheel arch 80 includes an inner rear wheel arch panel 81 and an outer rear wheel arch panel 82. The side storage panel 30 can be connected to both the inner rear wheel arch panel 81 and the outer rear wheel arch panel 82 for better protection of the rear wheel 1. A first rear floor under-floor crossbeam 51 can be connected to the rear wheel arch 80 to enhance its impact resistance.

[0053] The interior of the first rear floor sub-beam 51 may be provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which may be spaced apart along the length of the first rear floor sub-beam 51. By providing reinforcing ribs, the structural strength of the first rear floor sub-beam 51 can be increased.

[0054] The bottom of the side storage cavity 301 can be set lower than the bottom of the rear longitudinal beam 10, which makes the protection area of ​​the side storage cavity 301 for the rear wheel larger and helps to reduce the direct impact force on the rear wheel 1.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 A first cavity 101 can be provided between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the intermediate storage plate 40. That is to say, the generally vertically extending outer surfaces of the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the generally vertically extending outer surfaces of the intermediate storage plate 40 are not fitted together in the lateral direction but are spaced apart. The rear longitudinal beam 10 and the intermediate storage plate 40 can be constructed as at least part of the cavity wall of the first cavity 101, such as as the entire cavity wall of the first cavity 101, or they can be combined with other vehicle body structures such as the rear floor 50 to form the entire cavity wall of the first cavity 101. The first cavity 101 is located between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the intermediate storage cavity 401, and can also serve as a force transmission cavity.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 3A second cavity 102 may be provided between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side storage panel 30. That is, the outer surfaces of the rear longitudinal beam 10 extending approximately vertically and the outer surfaces of the side storage panel 30 extending approximately vertically and horizontally are not fitted together but spaced apart. The rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side storage panel 30 may be constructed as at least part of the cavity wall of the second cavity 102, such as as the entire cavity wall of the second cavity 102, or they may be combined with other vehicle body structures such as the rear floor 50 to form the entire cavity wall of the second cavity 102. The second cavity 102 is located between the rear longitudinal beam 10 and the side storage cavity 301, and can also serve as a force transmission cavity.

[0057] The rear longitudinal beam 10 can be constructed with a cavity structure, forming a third cavity 103 inside, so that the third cavity 103 can serve as a force transmission cavity and play a role in transmitting impact force. The third cavity 103 can be formed by a U-shaped sheet metal part and the rear floor 50.

[0058] The third cavity 103 may be provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which may be distributed at intervals along the length of the rear longitudinal beam to improve the structural strength of the rear longitudinal beam 10.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, after the rear bumper beam 100 is loaded, the force on the left half of the vehicle body can be distributed through five paths: the third cavity 103 of the rear longitudinal beam 10, the side storage cavity 301, the second cavity 102, the first cavity 101, and the middle storage cavity 401. Similarly, the right half of the vehicle body can also transmit force through these symmetrical paths, resulting in nine force-transmitting cavities in the entire rear of the vehicle body. Distributing force through multiple force-transmitting cavities allows for rapid and efficient energy absorption and buffering, reducing the impact force transmitted to the front of the vehicle body and the passenger compartment. It also prevents force concentration in a particular area, avoiding severe localized damage, ensuring the integrity of the rear structure of the vehicle body, and improving the protective effect.

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the vehicle body is used to mount a rear subframe, as shown in the reference... Figure 1 The vehicle body may include a front mounting base 91 and a rear mounting base 92. The front mounting base 91 is located on the front side of the rear wheel axis O, and the rear mounting base 92 is located on the rear side of the rear wheel axis O. Arranging the front mounting base 91 and the rear mounting base 92 one in front of the other on the rear wheel axis O is beneficial to the weight distribution of the rear vehicle load.

[0061] Both the front mounting bracket 91 and the rear mounting bracket 92 are located on the rear longitudinal beam 10 and are configured to be positioned at the front and rear ends away from the rear longitudinal beam 10. Mounting the subframe on the rear longitudinal beam 10 ensures reliable installation of the rear subframe, while the front and rear end positioning away from the rear longitudinal beam 10, i.e., in the middle area of ​​the rear longitudinal beam 10, enhances the overall dynamic stiffness of the front mounting bracket 91 and the rear mounting bracket 92.

[0062] Specifically, the front mounting base 91 can be located behind the second rear floor underbeam 52 on the underside of the rear floor 50. In some embodiments, the front mounting base 91 can be located at the intersection of the rear floor underbeam 53 and the rear longitudinal beam 10 on the upper side of the rear floor 50 to ensure installation strength and greatly improve the dynamic stiffness of the front mounting base 91. The rear mounting base 92 can be located at the intersection of the first rear floor underbeam 51 and the rear longitudinal beam 10 to ensure installation strength and greatly improve the dynamic stiffness of the rear mounting base 92.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second rear floor under-floor crossbeam 52 and the first rear floor under-floor crossbeam 51 are located on the lower side of the rear floor 50. The second rear floor under-floor crossbeam 52 is located in front of the rear wheel axis, and the first rear floor under-floor crossbeam 51 is located behind the rear wheel axis. The second rear floor under-floor crossbeam 52 and the first rear floor under-floor crossbeam 51 form a cavity at the rear of the vehicle for the arrangement of the rear power unit, without occupying the longitudinal space of the critical area of ​​the rear floor 50 located at the wheel center. Since the first rear floor under-floor crossbeam 51 is located on the lower side of the rear floor 50, it does not occupy the rear luggage compartment space on the upper side of the rear floor 50. The second rear floor under-floor crossbeam 52, located on the lower side of the rear floor 50, does not occupy passenger compartment space, ensuring passenger comfort.
