Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cargo box design, specifically to a cargo box skirt structure. Background Technology
[0002] The side skirt structure of the cargo box can protect the battery pack, prevent pedestrians from being caught under the vehicle, and provide protection and theft prevention. In some electric vehicles, the side skirt of the cargo box can protect the battery pack from external influences, such as preventing external impacts from damaging the battery pack and preventing the theft of the power system battery. In addition, it can also serve an aesthetic purpose, no longer exposing the parts under the vehicle.
[0003] Existing cargo boxes such as Figure 1 As shown, the cargo box 3 includes a base plate 31, a frame 4 mounted on the bottom end of the base plate 31, and an outer hook 43 set on the frame 4. During the loading and unloading of goods in the cargo box 3, ropes are used to secure the goods in the cargo box. The ropes are hooked around the outer hooks 43 set at specified intervals on the outside of the base plate 31 of the cargo box 3 to secure the goods. However, some existing cargo boxes were not designed with side skirts, which caused the above-mentioned series of problems. Therefore, it is necessary to install side skirts on the cargo box. However, considering that the cargo boxes of the manufacturers are mass-produced, it would be too costly to modify them. Therefore, in production, it is necessary to consider both cost and the appearance of the produced vehicles. Based on the above technical problems, a technical solution that takes both into account is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a cargo box skirt structure to solve the problem of installing skirts on already manufactured batches of cargo boxes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cargo box skirt structure, including a skirt plate threadedly connected to the frame and a reinforcing member connected to the skirt plate, wherein the reinforcing member is provided with a through hole that matches the outer hook.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: By setting reinforcement components and perforations, the reinforcement components and external hooks cooperate to install the skirt on both sides of the bottom of the cargo box. For manufacturers, cargo boxes are mass-produced and the mass-produced cargo boxes are placed together to prepare for the next production. Therefore, there is usually a large inventory of already produced cargo boxes. This structural design of the skirt is installed on the basis of the original cargo box, so it will not affect the appearance of the vehicle. It is compatible with mass-produced models and does not require spending time and money to re-apply for the vehicle announcement parameters. Compared with the existing technology, the installation of the skirt solves the safety hazards of protecting the battery pack and pedestrians being caught under the vehicle, and no longer exposes the parts under the vehicle.
[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcement includes a reinforcing plate vertically connected to the skirt plate and a connecting plate disposed between the reinforcing plate and the base plate. The reinforcing plate and the connecting plate are connected and arranged in a Y-shape. The perforation includes a first mating hole disposed on the reinforcing plate and a second mating hole disposed on the connecting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the first and second anastomosis holes are irregularly shaped, and the reinforcement is located at the bifurcation of the Y-shaped structure, forming a channel through which the outer hook passes.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the outer hook passes through the first mating hole of the reinforcing plate and the second mating hole of the connector in sequence, and crosses the Y-shaped gap between the two in the middle, so as to realize the connection between the reinforcing part and the outer hook, and can fix the skirt to the cargo box.
[0010] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided at the hook head of the outer hook, and the width of the protrusion is greater than the width of the second mating hole.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are: vibrations will occur during vehicle operation, and the protrusion can prevent the outer hook from going out backward from the second matching hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the frame includes longitudinal beams symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the base plate, and transverse beams equally spaced between the longitudinal beams. The outer hooks are installed at both ends of the transverse beams, and the number of reinforcing parts corresponds one-to-one with the transverse beams.
[0013] Furthermore, the skirt panel includes an upper folding plate and a lower folding plate horizontally arranged at both ends, and a curved panel connecting the upper folding plate and the lower folding plate, with the curved panel protruding outwards towards both sides of the cargo box.
[0014] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the curved panel design can reduce the air resistance on both sides of the carriage during vehicle operation.
[0015] Furthermore, the upper folding plate corresponds to the longitudinal beam, and both the bottom end of the longitudinal beam and the upper folding plate are provided with several threaded holes.
[0016] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate is bent, and the bending line of the reinforcing plate is consistent with the bending line of the curved panel.
[0017] Furthermore, there is a gap between the reinforcing plate and the skirt plate to allow the outer hook to rotate.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this solution is that it ensures that there is no resistance when the outer hook is connected to the reinforcement.
[0019] Furthermore, the connecting plate includes a horizontally arranged first fixing plate, a vertically arranged second fixing plate, and an inclined plate connecting the two. A second mating hole is opened on the inclined plate. The first fixing plate is used to connect with the crossbeam, and the second fixing plate is used to connect with the reinforcing plate.

[0026] Example
[0027] A cargo box skirt structure, such as Figure 2-4As shown, the cargo box 3 includes a skirt panel 1, which comprises a curved panel 13, an upper folded plate 11 horizontally positioned at the upper end of the curved panel 13, and a lower folded plate 12 horizontally positioned at the bottom end of the curved panel 13. The curved panel 13 is installed on both sides of the bottom end of the cargo box 3 and protrudes outwards to both sides of the cargo box 3. Several reinforcing plates 21 are vertically welded to the curved panel 13. The reinforcing plates 21 are bent in the same direction as the curved panel 13 and have the same bending profile as the curved panel 13. The reinforcing plates 21 are in contact with the inner surface of the curved panel 13. The cargo box 3 includes a bottom plate 31. Longitudinal beams 41 are symmetrically welded to both sides of the bottom end of the bottom plate 31. Transverse beams 42 are welded at equal intervals between the longitudinal beams 41. The transverse beams 42 and the longitudinal beams 41 together form the outer frame 4. Outer hooks 43 are welded to both ends of the crossbeam 42. Several crossbeams 42 correspond one-to-one with several reinforcing plates 21. A connecting plate 22 is provided between the crossbeam 42 and the reinforcing plate 21. The connecting plate 22 includes a first fixing plate 222 with the top horizontally set and a second fixing plate 223 with the bottom vertically set. The first fixing plate 222 and the crossbeam 42 can be welded or fixed by bolts. In this scheme, bolt connection is preferred. The second fixing plate 223 and the corresponding reinforcing plate 21 can be welded or bolted. In this scheme, welding is preferred. An inclined plate 224 is provided between the first fixing plate 222 and the second fixing plate 223. The inclined plate 224 is integrally formed with the first fixing plate 222 and the second fixing plate 223. The reinforcing plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are connected in a Y-shaped arrangement.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the top of the reinforcing plate 21 has a first mating hole 211, and the connecting plate 22 has a second mating hole 221 located at the inclined plate 224. The shapes of the first mating hole 211 and the second mating hole 221 are irregular. In order to adapt to the shape of the outer hook 43, the first mating hole 211, the second mating hole 221 and the Y-shaped bifurcation form a channel for the outer hook 43 to pass through. There is a gap for the outer hook 43 to pass through at the connection between the top of the reinforcing plate 21 and the skirt plate 1. The width of the upper folding plate 11 is the same as the width of the longitudinal beam 41. At the same time, the bottom end of the longitudinal beam 41 and the upper folding plate 11 are provided with several corresponding threaded holes. The upper folding plate 11 and the longitudinal beam 41 are fixedly connected by bolts. A protrusion 431 is welded at the hook head of the outer hook 43 with welding rod. The width of the protrusion 431 is greater than the width of the second mating hole 221 to prevent the outer hook 43 from sliding out of the second mating hole 221 due to vibration during the driving process.
[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the upper and lower ends of the reinforcing plate 21 are also provided with folded plates, which correspond to the upper folded plate 11 and the lower folded plate 12 of the skirt plate 1, respectively. The folded plates of the reinforcing plate 21 and the folded plates of the skirt plate 1 can be fixed by welding or by bolts. In this scheme, the width of the reinforcing plate 21 is set to correspond exactly to the two adjacent threaded holes on the upper folded plate 11. Therefore, threaded holes are also provided at the upper folded plate of the reinforcing plate 21. By passing the bolts through the reinforcing plate 21, the upper folded plate 11 and the longitudinal beam 41 in sequence, the reinforcing plate 21 can be fixed to the skirt plate 1, and the upper folded plate 11 can be fixed to the longitudinal beam 41.
