Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a door anti-collision beam assembly, belonging to the field of automotive parts technology. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly stringent automotive safety requirements, side-impact collisions are becoming more complex, demanding higher levels of structural rigidity and energy absorption from the vehicle body. Improving the strength and crashworthiness of car doors has become a crucial task. Currently, car doors typically have a hot-stamped or straight-tube (high-frequency welded pipe) door impact beam inside. This beam protects the door from excessive intrusion during side-impact collisions and prevents deformation of the outer door panel. For example, patent 202022360995.6 discloses a modified door impact beam for frontal and side-impact collisions, comprising a door impact beam, a front door inner panel, and a hinge reinforcement plate. The door impact beam is connected to the front door inner panel and the hinge reinforcement plate located at the front of the door to form a single unit. However, as the requirements for side-impact collisions become more stringent, a single impact beam is no longer sufficient. Its energy absorption capacity is limited during a collision, and the cross-sectional shape of the impact beam may bend and fail during a collision, significantly reducing its energy absorption effect. To improve energy absorption, thicker plates are needed and the cross-sectional depth of the anti-collision beam needs to be increased. This results in severe mold wear and reduced mold life. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vehicle body and door anti-collision beam assembly. A reinforcing diagonal brace and the main body of the door anti-collision beam are welded to the inner panel of the door. Both are fixed to the central support plate, which can better cope with the new side collision and side pole collision regulations, improve strength, and at the same time serve to support the outer panel.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly includes a door inner panel, a door anti-collision beam body, a reinforcing diagonal brace, a central support plate, and an end support plate. The central support plate is welded to the lower middle part of the door inner panel. The reinforcing diagonal brace is obliquely disposed on the door inner panel, with one end fixed to the central support plate and the other end fixed to the door inner panel. The door anti-collision beam body is disposed below the reinforcing diagonal brace, with both ends fixed to the door inner panel via the end support plates. The middle part of the door anti-collision beam body is fixed to the central support plate.

[0006] The aforementioned vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly has an angle α of 20~45° between the main body of the door anti-collision beam and the reinforcing diagonal brace, which strengthens the support strength of the middle part of the outer panel.

[0007] In the aforementioned vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly, one end of the reinforcing diagonal brace and the middle part of the main body of the door anti-collision beam are both arc welded to the middle support plate. One end of the reinforcing diagonal brace and the middle part of the main body of the door anti-collision beam are respectively provided with one or two welds to the middle support plate. Both ends of the main body of the door anti-collision beam are respectively provided with one or two welds to the end support plate. The length of each weld is 20-30mm.

[0009] The aforementioned vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly has a cross-sectional shape that is circular, elliptical, irregular polygonal, or has concave ribs.

It is formed using roll forming, liquid filling molding, hot air expansion, or other feasible processes.

[0011] The aforementioned vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly, wherein the reinforcing diagonal brace is made of hot stamping material with a strength of 1.5GPa or above, and the material thickness is 1.0~1.5mm. The cross-section of the reinforcing diagonal brace is "U" shaped or double-hat shaped.

[0012] The central support plate of the aforementioned vehicle body door anti-collision beam assembly is made of cold-stamped material with a thickness of 1.2~2.0mm.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adds a central support plate and reinforcing diagonal braces. The reinforcing diagonal braces are made of hot-stamped material, while the central support plate is made of cold-stamped material. The two are connected by arc welding, which can better cope with the new side impact and side pole impact regulations, improve strength, and simultaneously support the outer panel. The addition of the central support plate increases the contact area with the outer panel while improving strength, resulting in better bending resistance. The main body of the door anti-collision beam is made of a high-frequency welded straight tube forming a conformal closed tube. The curved surface of the tubular structure can follow the curved shape of the outer panel, resulting in more uniform glue application gaps and better glue application effect, thus better coping with side impact regulations and improving strength.
