[0045] refer to Figure 1 This application proposes a commercial vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and a cargo compartment. The cargo compartment is connected to the vehicle body and has a storage and transportation cavity formed inside the cargo compartment for placing goods.
[0046] The carriage includes a body frame, a reinforcing member 300, a side panel 100, and a rivet 200. The side panel 100 is fixed to the reinforcing member 300 by the rivet 200, and the reinforcing member 300 is fixed to the body frame.
[0047] In other words, the body frame provides basic support for the carriage, the reinforcing member 300 is connected to the body frame, and the side plate member 100 is installed on the outside of the body frame.
[0048] Specifically, the reinforcing members 300 are installed on both sides of the body frame, and the two ends of the reinforcing members 300 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the body frame. In other words, each reinforcing member 300 is arranged vertically.
[0049] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 The number of reinforcing members 300 is set at intervals according to the actual size of the box body 10, and the side plate members 100 are covered on both sides of the box body frame by the reinforcing members 300.
[0050] In other words, multiple reinforcing members 300 are spaced apart along the length of the vehicle body, each reinforcing member 300 is vertically fixed to the body frame, and the two sides of each side plate 100 are connected to the adjacent reinforcing member 300 by rivets 200.
[0051] To facilitate processing, there are multiple side panel pieces 100, and each side panel piece 100 is arranged along the length of the body 10. The two sides of the side panel piece 100 are fixed to the adjacent reinforcing member 300 by rivets 200, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the side panel piece 100.
[0052] The commercial vehicle involved in this application has a side panel 100 with a corrugated structure. That is, the side panel is provided with recesses 101 and protrusions 102 at intervals. Each recess 101 and protrusion 102 extends along the length of the body. The above-mentioned structure of the side panel 100 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the side panel 100, thereby improving the service life of the entire vehicle body and improving safety.
[0053] Each recess 101 and protrusion 102 extends along the length of the body to reduce wind resistance during the operation of the commercial vehicle and avoid reducing energy consumption.
[0054] Along the length of the side panel 100, that is, along the height of the body frame, a plurality of rivet pieces 200 are provided at intervals to improve the connection strength between the side panel 100 and the reinforcing member 300.
[0055] refer to Figures 7-10 During the riveting process, the rivet 200 utilizes its own deformation or interference fit to connect the riveted parts.
[0056] The rivet 200 includes a connecting body 210, a first end of which forms a rivet head 220, a second end of which forms a rivet pier 230, and a riveting surface 221 formed on the periphery of the rivet head 220.
[0057] A crimping portion 110 is formed on the side plate 100. Specifically, the crimping portion 110 is provided on the recess 101 of the side plate 100 to facilitate processing.
[0058] Each rivet 200 is fixed to the reinforcing member 300 by the side plate 100 of the crimping part 110. A connecting hole 111 is formed in the crimping part 110, and a crimping surface 112 adapted to the riveting surface 221 is formed in the connecting hole 111. The rivet head 220 is connected in the connecting hole 111.
[0059] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The reinforcing member 300 specifically includes a fixed base 310, a reinforcing rib 320, and a connecting horizontal part 330. The reinforcing rib 320 is vertically disposed between the fixed base 310 and the connecting horizontal part 330. The connecting horizontal part 330 is provided with a first positioning part 331 and a second positioning part 332, which are located on both sides of the reinforcing rib 320, respectively.
[0060] The reinforcing member is connected to the body frame via a fixing seat 310, and the side plate 100 is fixed to the connecting horizontal part 330.
[0061] Specifically, positioning holes 340 are formed on both the first positioning part 331 and the second positioning part 332. The side plate 100 is connected to the first positioning part 331 and / or the second positioning part 332 by rivet 200. The connecting body 210 is connected inside the positioning hole 340, and the rivet pier 230 is connected outside the positioning hole 340.
[0062] The number of first positioning parts 331 and second positioning parts 332 is provided along the length direction of the reinforcing member 300, and they correspond one-to-one with the pressing parts 110 provided on the side of the side plate member 100.
[0063] Specifically, the connecting horizontal part 330 is arranged parallel to the fixed base 310, the reinforcing rib part 320 is located between the connecting horizontal part 330 and the fixed base 310, and the first positioning part 331 and the second positioning part 332 on the same reinforcing member 300 are respectively connected and fixed to the adjacent side plate member 100.
[0064] During connection, the side plate 100 is placed on the reinforcing member 300, and then the rivet 200 is riveted to the side plate 100 and the reinforcing member 300 by an automated riveting device, thereby achieving the connection and fixation of the side plate 100.
[0065] An automated riveting device is an automated device used to rivet 200 onto a structure to be riveted. It is used to insert the rivet into the side plate 100 and the reinforcing member 300, and to form the other end of the rivet body 210 into a rivet pier 230.
[0066] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 One side of the side plate 100 is fixed to the first positioning part 331 of the reinforcing member 300 by a rivet 200, and the other side of the side plate 100 is fixed to the second positioning part 332 of the adjacent reinforcing member 300 by a rivet 200.
[0067] The two side plates 100 on the same reinforcing member 300 should not overlap, that is, the side plates 100 should not overlap each other, so as to avoid the overlapping position from bulging outward and forming wind resistance.
[0068] In other words, a side plate 100 is connected to the first positioning part 331 and the second positioning part 332 of the reinforcing member 300, and the dimension L between adjacent side plate members 100 satisfies: L≥0mm.
[0069] To prevent the rivet head 220 of the rivet 200 from protruding from the side plate 100, the riveting surface 221 on the rivet head 220 is designed as a tapered surface that gradually expands in the direction away from the connecting body 210. During installation, the rivet head 220 is completely connected to the crimping part 110, that is, the top of the rivet head 220 is flush with the upper surface of the side plate 100.
[0070] In order to achieve the connection and fixation of the rivet head 220 to the side plate 100, the crimping part 110 is designed to include a crimping protrusion 102 extending in a direction away from the upper surface of the side plate 100. A mating surface 341 adapted to the shape of the crimping protrusion 102 is formed in the positioning hole 340, and the crimping protrusion 102 is crimped on the mating surface 341.
[0071] Since the riveting surface 221 is conical, the outer wall of the pressing surface 112, the pressing protrusion 102, and the mating surface 341 are all conical.
[0072] The riveting surface 221 is in contact with the pressing surface 112. The connecting body 210 is connected to the mating surface 341 via the pressing protrusion 102 on the side plate 100. The riveting surface 221 is pressed onto the mating surface 341.
[0073] During connection, the connecting body 210 passes through the connecting hole 111 and the positioning hole 340, and the riveting surface 221 on the rivet head 220 is pressed onto the mating surface 341 to connect and fix the side plate 100. Then, an automated riveting device is used to form a riveting block on the connecting body 210 extending to the other end of the positioning hole 340 to fix the side plate 100 onto the reinforcing member 300.
[0074] In other embodiments, along the length of the reinforcing member 300, a plurality of first positioning portions 331 and second positioning portions 332 are provided at intervals on the connecting transverse portion 330, and each first positioning portion 331 and second positioning portion 332 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the reinforcing rib portion 320.
[0075] The connecting hole 111 and the positioning hole 340 are of the same size and are adapted to the size of the connecting body 210. The connecting body 210 passes through the connecting hole 111 and the positioning hole 340 to connect the side plate 100 and the reinforcing member 300 into one piece.
[0076] The commercial vehicle involved in this application has recesses 101 and protrusions 102 spaced apart along the length of the body on its side panel 100, which helps to improve the structural strength of the side panel 100 and reduce wind resistance.
[0077] Adjacent side plates 100 are connected to the first positioning part 331 and the second positioning part 332 of the reinforcing member 300 by rivet 200. There is no overlap between the side plates 100, avoiding the problem of outward protrusion caused by the overlapping of the side plates 100 in the traditional way. In addition, a riveting surface 221 is formed on the periphery of the rivet head 220. In the connected state, the rivet head 220 is connected in the connecting hole 111 of the side plate 100, so that the outer wall of the side plate 100 is flush and the rivet 200 does not protrude. This helps to reduce wind resistance, reduce energy consumption, and increase transportation speed.
[0078] Whenever possible, the various aspects and features described and shown in the specification can be applied individually, and these individual aspects can serve as the subject of a divisional application.
[0079] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0080] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
