Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle body structure and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive industry, panoramic sunroofs are becoming increasingly common. Compared to ordinary small sunroofs or operable sunroofs, panoramic sunroofs have a larger light-transmitting area and ventilation area. However, in existing models, there are differences in the structural dimensions of sheet metal roofs and panoramic sunroofs, and the side assembly cannot be compatible with both panoramic sunroofs and sheet metal roofs at the same time. Alternatively, in order to be compatible with both panoramic sunroofs and sheet metal roofs, a separate sunroof frame must be set up to support the sunroof and provide mounting points for the interior sunshades. This results in redundant structure, complex manufacturing process, heavy weight, and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. 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, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" 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 mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between 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.
[0041] This utility model provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this utility model can refer to large cars, small cars, special vehicles, etc. The vehicle includes a body structure, and the body structure includes a first roof assembly or a second roof assembly. The first roof assembly is the sheet metal roof of the vehicle, which is made of metal sheet. The second roof assembly is the sunroof of the vehicle, which refers to the design of a panoramic sunroof or a large area glass roof, providing passengers in the vehicle with a wider view and better light.
[0042] One type of vehicle can only be equipped with either a sheet metal roof or a panoramic sunroof, with either option installed on the roof of the vehicle body. The height between the sheet metal roof and the mounting surface of the side panel assembly is 12mm, while the height between the panoramic sunroof and the mounting surface of the side panel assembly is 10mm. Due to the height difference between the two, the same side panel assembly cannot be compatible with the installation of both a panoramic sunroof and a sheet metal roof.
[0043] Therefore, this utility model proposes a vehicle body structure 100. See below for reference. Figures 1-8 Describes the vehicle body structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0044] The vehicle body structure 100 includes two side panel assemblies 10, which are arranged along the left-right direction of the vehicle (see attached diagram). Figure 1 The two roof assemblies are spaced apart in the Y direction for mounting a second roof assembly 20 or a first roof assembly 30. The first roof assembly 30 and the second roof assembly 20 are alternatively connected to the side assembly 10 to form a vehicle body structure 100.
[0045] Figures 2-5 The red structure in the diagram represents the first roof assembly 30, which connects to the side panel assembly 10 to form the vehicle body structure 100; alternatively, the second roof assembly 20 connects to the side panel assembly 10 to form the vehicle body structure 100. A single side panel assembly 10 can be fitted to either the first roof assembly 30 or the second roof assembly 20, allowing for compatibility with both configurations. When installing the second roof assembly 20 onto the side panel assembly 10, no additional roof frame is required, reducing the weight of the vehicle body structure. In other words, the factory can produce a side panel assembly 10 compatible with both the first roof assembly 30 and the second roof assembly 20 in a single mold-making process. During subsequent installation, the side panel assembly 10 can be fitted to either the second roof assembly 20 or the first roof assembly 30, thus saving development costs.
[0046] The side panel assembly 10 includes a side panel body and a plurality of first mounting portions arranged along the edge of the side panel body. The first top cover assembly 30 has a second mounting portion, which is adapted to the first mounting portions for mounting the first top cover assembly 30. For example, the first top cover assembly 30 is made of sheet metal and can be fixed to the side panel assembly 10 by welding to increase the connection strength between the first top cover assembly 30 and the side panel assembly 10.
[0047] The second roof assembly 20 has a third mounting portion that is adapted to the first mounting portion for mounting the second roof assembly 20. For example, the second roof assembly 20 includes a glass canopy 2, which can be coated with silicone sealant between the third mounting portion and the second mounting surface. The silicone sealant has a certain thickness to increase the connection strength between the glass canopy 2 and the side assembly 10.
[0048] The first mounting portion of the side panel assembly 10 can be adapted to both the second mounting portion of the first roof assembly 30 and the second mounting portion of the second roof assembly 20 to optimize the vehicle body structure 100 and improve the operability of the first roof assembly 30 or the second roof assembly 20 mounted on the side panel assembly 10.
[0049] The vehicle body structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a side panel assembly 10, a first roof assembly 30, and a second roof assembly 20. The first mounting portion of the side panel assembly 10 can be adapted to both the second mounting portion of the first roof assembly 30 and the third mounting portion of the second roof assembly 20. The side panel assembly 10 can be compatible with the second roof assembly 20 and the first roof assembly 30 to construct the vehicle body structure 100. There is no need to set up an additional roof frame, thereby optimizing the vehicle body structure 100, reducing the weight of the vehicle body structure 100, and also reducing development costs.
[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-4 The first mounting part includes a first mounting surface. The side panel body includes an outer side panel 11 and an inner side panel 12. The inner side panel 12 is located inside the outer side panel 11 (the inner side refers to the side closer to the center of the vehicle body). The side panel 11 facing the interior of the vehicle body is connected to a support plate 111. The upper side of the support plate 111 has a first mounting surface. The support plate 111 is used to support the first roof assembly 30 or the second roof assembly 20.
[0051] A mounting plate 121 is connected to the side of the inner side panel 12 facing the inside of the vehicle. The mounting plate 121 is connected to the support plate 111 and can be used to support the support plate 111 to increase the support strength of the support plate 111.
[0052] For example, the side panel body also includes a side panel reinforcing plate 13, which is located between the inner side panel 12 and the outer side panel 11. The side panel 13 facing the vehicle interior is also connected to a reinforcing plate 131, which is also located between the support plate 111 and the mounting plate 121, to further increase the structural strength of the support plate 111.
[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-4 The second mounting part includes a second mounting surface. The first top cover assembly 30 includes a top cover body 34 and a flange 35. The flange 35 is connected to the top cover body 34 in the circumferential direction. The flange 35 is folded towards the support plate 111. The flange 35 includes a first flange 351 and a second flange 352 arranged at an angle. The first flange 351 is connected between the top cover body 34 and the second flange 352, and the second flange 352 extends towards the support plate 111. The lower side of the second flange 352 has a second mounting surface. The second flange 352 is located on the support plate 111, and the first mounting surface abuts against the second mounting surface.
[0054] In a specific example, after the first roof assembly 30 is installed on the side assembly 10, the windshield 52 and the tailgate 53 also need to be installed. Due to the setting of the flange 35, the height between the roof body 34 and the support plate 111 is 12mm, which avoids the problem of poor appearance of the windshield 52 and the tailgate 53 protruding from the roof body 34 due to assembly deviation.
[0055] For example, the included angle between the first flange 351 and the second flange 352 is 90°, that is, the second flange 352 is arranged parallel to the top cover body 34.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-4 The third mounting part includes a third mounting surface. The second top cover assembly 20 includes: a glass canopy 2 and a sunshade component 3. The lower side of the glass canopy 2 has a third mounting surface. The glass canopy 2 is mounted on a support plate 111. The first mounting surface abuts against the third mounting surface.
[0057] In the left-right direction of the vehicle, the size of the mounting plate 121 is larger than that of the support plate 111, that is, the mounting plate 121 extends to the side of the support plate 111 closer to the vehicle interior, so that the sunshade component 3 can be installed on the mounting plate 121; by installing the sunshade component 3 on the mounting plate 121, other redundant structures can be avoided, and the structure of the second roof assembly 20 can be simplified.
[0058] Multiple mounting plates 121 are provided, and each mounting plate 121 can be detachably connected to the sunshade component 3. The multiple mounting plates 121 can increase the structural strength of the sunshade component 3; and the multiple mounting plates 121 are arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle (see attached diagram). Figure 1The sunshade component 3 is fixed at multiple points in the X direction (as shown in the image) to allow for multi-point fixation in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The sunshade component 3 is detachably connected to multiple mounting plates 121. When it is necessary to replace or repair the sunshade component 3, it can be removed from the mounting plates 121 for easy replacement or repair.
[0059] For example, each side assembly 10 is provided with three mounting plates 121, and the mounting plates 121 of two side assemblies 10 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0060] For example, the thickness of the mounting plate 121 is between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm.
[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-6 Mounting plate 121 is recessed towards the interior of the vehicle to form a mounting boss, in the vertical direction of the vehicle (see attached). Figure 1 In the Z direction (as shown in the image), the height of the mounting boss is D and satisfies: 3mm ≤ D ≤ 5mm. This is used to increase the structural strength of the mounting plate 121, thereby improving the installation rigidity of the mounting plate 121. For example, the height of the mounting boss can be 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm, etc.
[0062] In a specific example, both side assemblies 10 are provided with three mounting bosses. In the direction from rear to front of the vehicle, the three mounting bosses are a first mounting boss 124, a second mounting boss 125, and a third mounting boss 126. The first mounting boss 124 and the third mounting boss 126 have recessed areas 127 that are recessed toward the support plate 111 to improve the structural strength of the first mounting boss 124 and the third mounting boss 126. Furthermore, at least one side of the first mounting boss 124 and the second mounting boss 125 facing the reinforcing plate has a fitting edge for fitting and welding with the reinforcing plate 131 to further improve the rigidity of the mounting point of the sunshade component 3.
[0063] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-7 The sunshade component 3 includes a sunshade frame 31, which includes a first frame 311 and a second frame 312. Both the first frame 311 and the second frame 312 extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Both the first frame 311 and the second frame 312 have an extension edge 3121 that fits against the mounting plate 121. The extension edge 3121 of the first frame 311 is located on the side of the first frame 311 away from the second frame 312, and the extension edge 3121 of the second frame 312 is located on the side of the second frame 312 away from the first frame 311. The number of extension edges 3121 is equal to the number of mounting plates 121 and they correspond one-to-one.
[0064] By providing an extension edge 3121, and making the extension edge 3121 detachably connected to the mounting plate 121, it is easy to connect the sunshade frame 31 to the mounting plate 121.
[0065] For example, the sunshade component 3 also includes a sunshade that is retractably mounted on the sunshade frame 31.
[0066] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-7 The second top cover assembly 20 also includes: a first fastener 32, a mounting plate 121 having a first connecting hole 122, and an extension edge 3121 having a second connecting hole 3122 opposite to the first connecting hole 122. The first fastener 32 is used to detachably connect the first connecting hole 122 and the second connecting hole 3122, which makes it simple to fix the sunshade frame 31 on the mounting plate 121; it also facilitates the disassembly of the sunshade frame 31.
[0067] For example, the first fastener 32 can be a bolt, and a nut is provided on the side of the mounting plate 121 away from the extension edge 3121. The bolt can pass through the first connecting hole 122 and the second connecting hole 3122 to be threadedly connected to the nut, which makes it simple to fix the sunshade frame 31 on the mounting plate 121.
[0068] Mounting plate 121 also has a clearance hole 123 spaced apart from the first connecting hole 122. The clearance hole 123 is located on the side of the first connecting hole 122 near the side assembly 10. The clearance hole 123 is a welding through hole. The support plate 111 can be welded to the second flange 352 through the clearance hole 123, so that the welding points of the first top cover assembly 30 are evenly distributed, thereby improving the sealing and reliability of the first top cover assembly 30.
[0069] For example, multi-layer welding may lead to welding defects. By providing clearance holes 123 on the mounting plate 121, welding connections between the mounting plate 121 and the reinforcing plate 131, the support plate 111, and the second flange 352 can be avoided, thus avoiding multi-layer welding and improving the welding strength between the first top cover assembly 30 and the support plate 111.
[0070] In a specific example, refer to Figures 5-6The mounting plate 121 is recessed towards the interior of the vehicle to form a mounting boss. Each side panel assembly 10 has three mounting bosses. In the direction from rear to front of the vehicle, the three mounting bosses are a first mounting boss 124, a second mounting boss 125, and a third mounting boss 126. The first mounting boss 124 and the third mounting boss 126 have recessed areas 127 that are recessed towards the support plate 111. The clearance holes 123 of the first mounting boss 124 and the third mounting boss 126 are provided in the recessed areas 127. The diameter of the clearance holes 123 of the first mounting boss 124 and the third mounting boss 126 is 16 mm, and the diameter of the clearance hole 123 of the second mounting boss 125 is 25 mm.
[0071] The third mounting boss 126 has a clearance notch on at least one side facing the reinforcing plate 131. The clearance notch is a welding through hole through which the reinforcing plate, the support plate 111, and the second flange 352 are welded together.
[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 In the left-right direction of the vehicle, the distance between the first connecting hole 122 and the inner side panel 12 is L and satisfies: 40mm≤L≤50mm. The distance between the fixing point of the sunshade frame 31 on the mounting plate 121 and the inner side panel 12 is maintained between 40mm and 50mm. This can improve the installation rigidity of the sunshade frame 31 on the mounting plate 121 and reduce the risk of deformation and abnormal noise.
[0073] For example, the distance between the first connecting hole 122 and the inner side panel 12 can be 40mm, 45mm, 47mm or 50mm.
[0074] In addition, the distance from the fixing point of the sunshade frame 31 on the mounting plate 121 to the inner side panel 12 is maintained between 40mm and 50mm. Compared with related technologies, the mounting point on one side is shortened by 30mm to 40mm. The sunshade frame 31 can be moved 30mm to 40mm towards the outside of the vehicle, which also allows the roof assembly 51 to be moved 60mm to 80mm towards the outside of the vehicle, making the top view more open and transparent.
[0075] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 5-8The vehicle body structure 100 also includes: a mounting beam 40, which includes a first beam 41 and a second beam 42 spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The first beam 41 is located at the front end of the vehicle, and the second beam 42 is located at the rear end of the vehicle. A first roof assembly 30 and a glass sunroof 2 are alternatively connected to the first beam 41 and the second beam 42. The front end and the rear end of the first roof assembly 30 are respectively mounted above the first beam 41 and the second beam 42, and the left end and the right end of the first roof assembly 30 are respectively mounted above the two side assemblies 10. The front end and the rear end of the glass sunroof 2 are respectively mounted above the first beam 41 and the second beam 42, and the left end and the right end of the glass sunroof 2 are respectively mounted above the two side assemblies 10.
[0076] The mounting beam 40 also includes a third crossbeam 43 extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle. The third crossbeam 43 is located between the first crossbeam 41 and the second crossbeam 42, and is positioned adjacent to the second crossbeam 42. In the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the distance between the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43 is greater than the distance between the second crossbeam 42 and the third crossbeam 43. The sunshade frame 31 is detachably connected to both the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43. Specifically, the sunshade frame 31 can be installed inside the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43 to further improve the installation strength of the sunshade frame 31.
[0077] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 In the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the rear side of the sunshade frame 31 is located in front of the rear side of the third crossbeam 43. The sunshade frame 31 does not extend beyond the rear side of the third crossbeam 43. By setting the third crossbeam 43, the size of the sunshade frame 31 is reduced, saving materials and reducing costs. At the same time, the sunshade frame's encroachment on the rear headroom is reduced by about 13mm.
[0078] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 5-8 The sunshade frame 31 includes a third frame 313 and a fourth frame 314. Both the third frame 313 and the fourth frame 314 extend along the left and right direction of the vehicle. The third frame 313 is detachably connected to the first crossbeam 41, and the fourth frame 314 is detachably connected to the third crossbeam 43. The front and rear ends of the sunshade frame 31 can be fixedly connected to the first crossbeam 41 and the second crossbeam 42, which can further increase the installation strength of the sunshade frame 31.
[0079] The sunshade frame 31 also includes a first frame 311 and a second frame 312, both of which extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. A third frame 313 is connected between the first frame 311 and the second frame 312 and is located at the front end of the first frame 311 and the second frame 312. A fourth frame 314 is connected between the first frame 311 and the second frame 312 and is located at the rear end of the first frame 311 and the second frame 312. The third frame 313 and the fourth frame 314 are connected to the mounting plate 121 of the side panel assembly 10 through the first frame 311 and the second frame 312. The third frame 313 and the fourth frame 314 are connected to the mounting beam 40 so that the sunshade frame 31 is connected to the vehicle body structure 100 on all four sides to improve the installation strength of the sunshade frame 31.
[0080] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 , Figures 7-8 The third frame 313 has a first buckle 3131, and the first crossbeam 41 has a first buckle hole 411 that cooperates with the first buckle 3131; the third frame 313 has a first positioning pin 3132, and the first crossbeam 41 has a first positioning hole 412 that cooperates with the first positioning pin 3132. The fourth frame 314 has a second buckle 3141, and the third crossbeam 43 has a second buckle hole 431 that mates with the second buckle 3141; the fourth frame 314 also has a second positioning pin 3142, and the third crossbeam 43 has a second positioning hole 432 that mates with the second positioning pin 3142; through the cooperation of the first positioning pin 3132 and the first positioning hole 412, as well as the second positioning pin 3142 and the second positioning hole 432, the position of the sunshade frame 31 installed on the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43 can be initially determined; by aligning the first positioning pin 3132 with the first positioning hole 412 and the second positioning pin 3142 with the second positioning hole 432, the assembly problem of "multiple holes to multiple pins" is avoided, making the installation process simpler and more efficient. Furthermore, by using the first buckle 3131 and the second buckle 3141 to pre-fix the sunshade frame 31 to the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43, no auxiliary support is required when installing the first fastener 32, which reduces the burden of the final assembly operation and saves 10 seconds of labor time per unit.
[0081] The first positioning pin 3132 and the second positioning pin 3142 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the vehicle, which can be used to distinguish the third frame 313 and the fourth frame 314, and thus distinguish the front and rear of the sunshade frame 31, thereby reducing assembly errors.
[0082] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 , Figures 7-8The second top cover assembly 20 also includes: a second fastener 33, a third frame 313 and a fourth frame 314, both having a third connecting hole 3133, and a first crossbeam 41 and a third crossbeam 43, both having a fourth connecting hole 433 that mates with the third connecting hole 3133. The second fastener 33 is used to detachably connect the third connecting hole 3133 and the fourth connecting hole 433, which makes it simple to fix the sunshade frame 31 on the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43; it also facilitates the disassembly of the sunshade frame 31.
[0083] For example, the second fastener 33 can be a bolt, and nuts are provided on the side of the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43 away from the sunshade frame 31. The bolt can be inserted into the third connecting hole 3133 and the fourth connecting hole 433 to be threadedly connected to the nut, which makes it simple to fix the sunshade frame 31 on the first crossbeam 41 and the third crossbeam 43.
[0084] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 The vehicle body structure 100 also includes: a roof assembly 51, which is located on the side of the sunshade frame 31 near the center of the vehicle body, and extends to the side of the sunshade frame 31 near the glass skylight 2. The distance between the end of the roof assembly 51 near the glass skylight 2 and the sunshade frame 31 is M and satisfies: 9mm≤M≤11mm, which can prevent the sunshade frame 31 from being exposed and ensure that the interior is clean and beautiful.
[0085] For example, the distance between the end of the canopy assembly 51 near the glass canopy 2 and the sunshade frame 31 can be 9mm, 10mm or 11mm, etc.
[0086] The vehicle according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: the body structure 100 of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention described above.
[0087] According to the vehicle of the present utility model embodiment, by setting the above-mentioned body structure 100, the side assembly 10 can be compatible with the first roof assembly 30 and the second roof assembly 20 to construct the body structure 100. There is no need to set an additional sunroof frame, thereby optimizing the body structure 100, reducing the weight of the body structure 100, and also reducing development costs.
