Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a door sill bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle door sills make it easier for users to get in and out of the car, and they also protect the paint on the vehicle's underbody protection panel from scratches and abrasions during daily entry and exit, thus improving the vehicle's appearance.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to prevent the threshold from tilting due to force when a user steps on the side of the threshold, causing the user to slip and get injured, a threshold bracket is usually installed below the threshold. The threshold bracket is installed on the side beam of the vehicle to support the vehicle threshold.

[0004] However, in order to provide a larger support area for the door sill, the door sill bracket needs to be set with a large width. This results in the door sill bracket taking up too much space when installed on the vehicle door sill side beam, which may affect the installation of other components. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a door sill bracket and vehicle to solve the problem that existing door sill brackets occupy a large space when installed on the door sill side beam, affecting the installation of other components.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a door sill bracket, including a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion. The first connecting portion is used to abut against the lower guard plate of a vehicle. One end of the second connecting portion is connected to one end of the first connecting portion. One end of the third connecting portion is connected to the other end of the second connecting portion and is located on the side of the second connecting portion away from the first connecting portion. The third connecting portion is used to connect to the door sill edge beam of the vehicle. Wherein, along a first direction, the size of the third connecting portion is smaller than the size of the first connecting portion. The first direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first, second, and third connecting portions.

[0008] According to the above-described technical means, the sill bracket provided in this application embodiment has a first connecting portion abutting against the lower guard plate of the vehicle. One end of the third connecting portion is connected to the sill side beam of the vehicle, and the sill side beam provides an installation position for the third connecting portion. The first connecting portion and the third connecting portion are connected by a second connecting portion. In a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first, second, and third connecting portions, the size of the third connecting portion is smaller than the size of the first connecting portion. By setting the size of the third connecting portion to be smaller than the size of the first connecting portion, the installation space of the sill bracket on the sill side beam can be reduced, avoiding interference with the installation of other components.

[0009] In one possible implementation, along the first direction, the opposite sides of the third connecting portion are bent toward the second direction to form a first flange structure. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and also perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first, second, and third connecting portions.

[0010] According to the above technical means, by setting the first flange structure on both sides of the third connection part, the structural stability of the third connection part can be enhanced, and it can better withstand external loads and deformations, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the threshold bracket.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the end of the first connecting portion away from the second connecting portion is bent toward the side where the second connecting portion is located to form a second flange structure.

[0012] According to the above technical means, the first connecting part is used to abut against the lower guard plate of the vehicle. After the sill bracket is installed, when the lower guard plate is installed, the second flange structure can guide the installation of the lower guard plate, which facilitates the installation of the lower guard plate.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a connecting hole is provided on the third connecting portion. The connecting hole is used for fasteners to pass through in order to connect the third connecting portion and the sill edge beam.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the sill bracket and the sill edge beam are detachably connected by fasteners. The detachable connection structure facilitates maintenance and repair. When the sill bracket malfunctions or needs repair, the detachable connection mechanism allows the sill bracket to be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the threshold bracket is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, reinforcing ribs are incorporated into the sill bracket to prevent deformation due to excessive stress. Without increasing the wall thickness of the sill bracket, these reinforcing ribs significantly improve its strength and rigidity, preventing deformation during use. Furthermore, the addition of reinforcing ribs reduces material usage without compromising the bracket's performance.

[0017] In one possible implementation, along a first direction, the second connecting portion has two oppositely disposed sides. The distance between the two sides near the third connecting portion is smaller than the distance between the two sides away from the third connecting portion.

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the primary function of the second connecting part in the sill bracket is to transmit torque. By providing two side edges on both sides of the second connecting part, its rigidity and resistance to deformation can be improved, while reducing its thickness and material usage without sacrificing its performance.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the third connecting part are integrally formed.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, the sill bracket can be manufactured using sheet metal processing. Sheet metal processing can be customized to meet various design requirements, and the resulting products possess high strength and durability. Furthermore, sheet metal processing can create components with complex shapes, such as flat and curved surfaces, to satisfy the design needs of the sill bracket.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including any of the door sill brackets described in the first aspect.

[0022] Since the vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes the sill bracket in the first aspect, it can solve the same technical problem as the sill bracket described above and achieve the same technical effect, it will not be described again here.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the vehicle includes a sill edge beam and a lower guard plate. A third connecting portion is connected to the sill edge beam, and one side of the first connecting portion abuts against the lower guard plate.

[0024] According to the above technical means, the door sill bracket is connected to the vehicle through the third connecting part, and the lower guard plate can be supported through the first connecting part to achieve door sill support.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the vehicle further includes a buffer member. The buffer member is located between the first connecting portion and the lower guard plate, with its sides abutting against the lower guard plate and the first connecting portion, respectively.

[0026] Based on the above technical means, a buffer can be set between the lower guard plate and the sill bracket to avoid direct collision between the lower guard plate and the sill bracket, thus preventing damage to the lower guard plate when the collision force is large. At the same time, it can reduce the noise and vibration caused by direct collision between the lower guard plate and the sill bracket. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "communication" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] In embodiments of this invention, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, article, or apparatus.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this embodiment of the invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0040] This application provides a vehicle. The specific type of vehicle is not specifically limited in this application; for example, the vehicle provided in this application can be an electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a solar-powered vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle provided in this application can also be of different forms. For example, the vehicle provided in this application can be a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), or a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

[0041] Firstly, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a door sill bracket 100, including a first connecting part 1, a second connecting part 2, and a third connecting part 3. The first connecting part 1 is used to abut against the lower guard plate 210 of the vehicle 200. One end of the second connecting part 2 is connected to one end of the first connecting part 1. One end of the third connecting part 3 is connected to the other end of the second connecting part 2 and is located on the side of the second connecting part 2 away from the first connecting part 1. The third connecting part 3 is used to connect to the door sill edge beam 220 of the vehicle 200. Wherein, along the first direction X ( Figure 2 The size of the third connecting part 3 is smaller than the size of the first connecting part 1. The first direction X is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first connecting part 1, the second connecting part 2 and the third connecting part 3.

[0042] According to the above-described technical means, in the sill bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment, the first connecting part 1 abuts against the lower guard plate 210 of the vehicle 200. One end of the third connecting part 3 is connected to the sill side beam 220 of the vehicle 200, and the sill side beam 220 of the vehicle 200 provides an installation position for the third connecting part 3. The first connecting part 1 and the third connecting part 3 are connected by the second connecting part 2. In a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first connecting part 1, the second connecting part 2 and the third connecting part 3, the size of the third connecting part 3 is smaller than the size of the first connecting part 1. By setting the size of the third connecting part 3 to be smaller than the size of the first connecting part 1, the installation space of the sill bracket 100 on the sill side beam 220 can be reduced, avoiding interference with the installation of other components.

[0043] It is understandable that there may be a height difference between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill edge beam 220, resulting in a height difference between the first connecting part 1 and the third connecting part 3. In actual installation, the shape and size of the second connecting part 2 can be adjusted to ensure that the sill bracket 100 can be used in various vehicles 200.

[0044] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, along the first direction X, the opposite sides of the third connecting part 3 are bent towards the second direction Y to form a first flange structure 4. The second direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Y and also perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first connecting part 1, the second connecting part 2, and the third connecting part 3.

[0045] According to the above technical means, by setting the first flange structure 4 on both sides of the third connecting part 3, the structural stability of the third connecting part 3 can be enhanced, and it can better withstand external loads and deformations, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the threshold bracket 100.

[0046] For example, along the first direction X, the opposite sides of the third connecting portion 3 may also form a rolled edge structure. The rolled edge is a bending treatment of the two sides of the third connecting portion 2 to enhance the rigidity and strength of the third connecting portion 3.

[0047] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the first connecting part 1 away from the second connecting part 2 is bent toward the side where the second connecting part 2 is located to form a second flange structure 5.

[0048] According to the above technical means, the first connecting part 1 is used to abut against the lower guard plate 210 of the vehicle 200. After the sill bracket 100 is installed, when the lower guard plate 210 is installed, the second flange structure 5 can guide the installation of the lower guard plate 210, which facilitates the installation of the lower guard plate 210.

[0049] For example, the end of the first connecting portion 1 away from the second connecting portion 2 may be provided with a chamfer. The chamfer can also guide the installation of the lower guard plate 210, and at the same time, the chamfer can remove burrs from the edge of the first mounting portion 1, improving the appearance of the sill bracket 100.

[0050] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connecting hole 31 is provided on the third connecting part 3. The connecting hole 31 is used for the fastener 32 to pass through in order to connect the third connecting part 3 and the sill edge beam 220.

[0051] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the sill bracket 100 and the sill edge beam 220 are detachably connected by fasteners 32. The detachable connection structure facilitates maintenance and repair. When the sill bracket 100 malfunctions or needs repair, the detachable connection mechanism allows the sill bracket 100 to be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0052] For example, multiple connection holes 31 can be provided. Multiple connection holes 31 fix the sill bracket 100 to the sill side beam 220, avoiding single-point fixation between the two, which would cause the sill bracket 100 to rotate or misalign when under force, affecting the support effect of the sill bracket 100. It is understood that in order to avoid the multiple connection holes 31 affecting the rigidity and strength of the third connection part 3, the number of connection holes 31 is two.

[0053] For example, the third connecting part 3 and the sill edge beam 220 are connected by fastener 32. Fastener 32 can be a screw, and threaded connections have advantages such as simple structure, reliable connection, and convenient assembly and disassembly, making them suitable for the installation of components in vehicle 200. It is understood that fastener 32 can also be a pin or rivet.

[0054] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the threshold bracket 100 is provided with reinforcing ribs 6.

[0055] Based on the aforementioned technical means, to prevent the sill bracket 100 from deforming due to excessive stress, reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the sill bracket 100. Without increasing the wall thickness of the sill bracket 100, the reinforcing ribs 6 can significantly improve the strength and rigidity of the sill bracket 100, preventing deformation during use. At the same time, providing reinforcing ribs 6 can reduce the amount of material used without sacrificing the performance of the sill bracket 100.

[0056] For example, the sill bracket 100 may also be provided with ribs. Ribs can increase the stiffness of the sill bracket 100, and improve its bending stiffness and load-bearing capacity. However, providing ribs requires adding a small beam to one side of the sill bracket 100, which will increase the manufacturing cost and structural complexity of the sill bracket 100.

[0057] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, along the first direction X, the second connecting part 2 ( Figure 3 It has two sides 7 that are arranged opposite to each other. The distance between the two sides 7 that are close to the third connecting part 3 is smaller than the distance between the two sides 7 that are far away from the third connecting part 3.

[0058] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the main function of the second connecting part 2 in the sill bracket 100 is to transmit torque. By providing two side edges 7 on both sides of the second connecting part 2, the rigidity and deformation resistance of the second connecting part 2 can be improved, and the thickness of the second connecting part 2 can be reduced without sacrificing its performance, thus reducing the amount of material used.

[0059] For example, the two side edges 7 can be connected to the first flange structure 4. Both the side edges 7 and the first flange structure 4 are for improving the strength and rigidity of the sill bracket 100. Connecting the side edges 7 and the first flange structure 4 into one unit can form the load-bearing structure of the sill bracket 100 into a whole, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the sill bracket 100.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the first connecting part 1, the second connecting part 2, and the third connecting part 3 are integrally formed.

[0061] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, the sill bracket 100 can be manufactured using sheet metal processing. Sheet metal processing can be customized to meet various design requirements, and the resulting products have high strength and durability. Furthermore, sheet metal processing can produce components with complex shapes such as flat and curved surfaces to meet the design needs of the sill bracket 100.

[0062] For example, the sill bracket 100 can also be integrally manufactured using automated equipment such as laser cutting and CNC punching. Optimizing the production process based on the structure of the sill bracket 100 can reduce production steps and improve production efficiency.

[0063] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle 200, including any of the door sill brackets 100 described in the first aspect.

[0064] Since the vehicle 200 provided in this application embodiment includes the sill bracket 100 in the first aspect, it can solve the same technical problems as the sill bracket 100 described above and achieve the same technical effects, it will not be described again here.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 5As shown, in order to meet the load-bearing requirements of the front and rear door sills of vehicle 200, door sill brackets 100 can be distributed on both sides of vehicle 200 to support the lower guard plates 210 of the front and rear door sills of vehicle 200. In order to minimize the amount of door sill brackets 100 used and improve the lightweight of vehicle 200, the door sill brackets 100 can be set at appropriate positions on vehicle 200 according to different vehicles 200.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the vehicle 200 includes a sill edge beam 220 and a lower guard plate 210. A third connecting portion 3 is connected to the sill edge beam 220, and one side of the first connecting portion 1 abuts against the lower guard plate 210.

[0067] According to the above technical means, the door sill bracket 100 is connected to the vehicle 200 through the third connecting part 3, and the lower guard plate 210 can be supported through the first connecting part 1 to achieve support for the door sill.

[0068] For example, vehicle 200 also includes a pedal. The pedal is mounted on the lower guard plate 210. The pedal is mounted on the lower guard plate 210. This can improve the overall appearance of the vehicle and protect the lower guard plate 210, which is prone to wear and tear when getting in and out of the vehicle.

[0069] For example, the pedals can also be replaced with door sill strips, rhinoceros hide, or other parts. Door sill strips can be directly fixed to the lower guard plate 210 by adhesive, protecting the easily worn parts of the vehicle 200 and preventing scratches to the paint of the lower guard plate 210 caused by users getting in and out of the vehicle. Rhinoceros hide has good wear resistance and weather resistance, maintaining good performance in various climatic conditions. At the same time, the surface of rhinoceros hide is smooth and easy to clean, and even if it gets dirty, it can be easily wiped clean.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the vehicle 200 further includes a buffer member 230. The buffer member 230 is located between the first connecting portion 1 and the lower guard plate 210, with its two sides abutting against the lower guard plate 210 and the first connecting portion 1, respectively.

[0071] Based on the above technical means, a buffer 230 is set between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill bracket 100 to avoid direct collision between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill bracket 100, and to prevent damage to the lower guard plate 210 when the collision force is large. At the same time, it can reduce the noise and vibration caused by direct collision between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill bracket 100.

[0072] For example, the buffer 230 can be a sponge pad. Sponge pads are lightweight and inexpensive, while also possessing good elasticity and shock absorption properties, capable of absorbing noise and vibration generated by the collision between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill bracket 100. It is understood that the buffer 230 can also be a flexible material such as rubber or an elastic element such as a spring, its main function being to be placed between the lower guard plate 210 and the sill bracket 100 to prevent collisions between them.

[0073] Of course, the vehicle 200 may not include the buffer 230. The lower guard plate 210 can be fixedly connected to the first connecting part 1 to prevent collision between the two. The fixed connection methods include bonding, screwing, welding, riveting, etc.

[0074] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
