Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a reinforcing plate with installation support function. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by energy conservation and environmental protection policies, lightweighting is a development trend in the automotive industry. Automotive body parts are typically made by stamping high-strength thin sheets. To enhance rigidity and prevent deformation, these parts are often stamped into bent or reinforced structures. For example, many reinforcing plates in automobiles, which previously consisted of simple welded structures made of thicker steel plates, are now almost entirely made by stamping thin sheets.

[0003] However, the reinforcing plates formed by stamping thin steel plates have two inherent drawbacks because the steel plates are very thin: First, in order to enhance the overall rigidity of the reinforcing plates, the planar structure is made larger than before so that it can be bent during stamping; second, the connection with other components on the car requires a lot of welding. Welding in the workshop is relatively easy, but repairs after the welds come off are troublesome, as the welds are prone to burn-through or deformation, and the welds are prone to welding stress and rust. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a reinforcing plate with installation support function. It uses a nut with a weld foot. During the stamping of the reinforcing plate, a socket is punched out. The nut is then inserted into the socket and fixed by spot welding. This allows the reinforcing plate to be used as an installation support point for other structures through the nut.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a reinforcing plate with installation support function, including a plate body integrally stamped from a high-strength thin plate. The plate body includes a main body and an extension plate one and an extension plate two extending outward from both ends of the main body. The main body is connected to the extension plate one and the extension plate two by an irregularly shaped folding plate. The cross-section of the main body is a wide-angle V-shape with an included angle of 150°, and the outer edges of the two plates forming the V-shape are bent inward. One side plate is recessed to the back at the connection with the extension plate two, and a waist-shaped hole is provided on the recessed square bottom surface. The other side plate is provided with four mounting holes along the plate surface, and each of the four mounting holes is fitted with a nut.

[0006] Preferably, the outer edge of one side plate forming the V-shape of the main body is bent inward at 60°, and the outer edge of the other side plate is bent inward at 90°.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the inner diameter of the nut, and four insertion ports are evenly distributed around the mounting hole.

[0008] Preferably, the outer circumferential hub of the nut is square, and the nut extends outward along the edges at the four corners of the square to form prongs, which can be inserted into the socket.

[0009] Preferably, after the nut prongs are inserted into the socket, the bottom surface of the nut is welded to the surface of the plate.

[0010] Preferably, the outer edges of the two V-shaped side plates of the main body are bent, and one of the side plates extends along the length of the second extension plate to its end. Because the second extension plate is relatively long, this arrangement can strengthen the second extension plate.

[0011] Preferably, the main body and the first extension plate are connected by an irregularly shaped plate composed of three flat plates that are not on the same plane. The first extension plate is twisted relative to the main body and is not parallel. The main body and the second extension plate are connected by an irregularly shaped plate composed of two flat plates that are not on the same plane. The second extension plate is provided with a circular hole. This arrangement allows the reinforcing plate to have higher rigidity and strength in the length direction.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A reinforcing plate with installation support function includes a plate body integrally stamped from a high-strength thin plate. The plate body includes a main body and two extension plates extending outward from both ends of the main body. The main body is connected to the extension plates one and two extension plates by irregularly shaped folded plates. The cross-section of the main body is a wide-angle V-shape with an included angle of 150°, and the outer edges of the two plates forming the V-shape are bent inward. One side plate is recessed to the back at the connection with the extension plate two, and a waist-shaped hole is provided on the recessed square bottom surface. The other side plate has four mounting holes along the plate surface, and each of the four mounting holes is fitted with a nut. This utility model provides an integrally stamped automotive reinforcing plate. By stamping out the bent plate surface, the strength and rigidity of the reinforcing plate are enhanced, thereby enhancing its supporting function. In addition, the mounting holes are provided with insert mounting nuts, which can then be spot welded, ensuring installation quality and allowing the reinforcing plate to be connected to other components through the nuts, facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a reinforcing plate with installation support function in this embodiment includes a plate body 1 integrally stamped from a high-strength thin plate. The plate body 1 includes a main body 11 and extension plates 12 and 13 extending outward from both ends of the main body 11. The main body 11 is connected to the extension plates 12 and 13 by irregularly shaped folded plates. The cross-section of the main body 11 is a wide-angle V-shape with an included angle of 150°, and the outer edges of the two plates forming the V-shape are bent inward. One side plate is recessed to the back at the connection with the extension plate 13, and a waist-shaped hole 14 is provided on the recessed square bottom surface. The other side plate has four mounting holes 15 along the plate surface, and each of the four mounting holes 15 is fitted with a nut 2.

[0020] The reinforcing plate in this embodiment is a type of reinforcing plate for automobile bodies. It is formed into a multi-faceted plate structure by stamping, deformation, and bending, thereby enhancing the strength and rigidity of the reinforcing plate and enabling it to have excellent support function.

[0021] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate is provided with mounting holes 15, and nuts 2 are welded to the mounting holes 15. Other components are installed through the nuts 2, which facilitates disassembly and assembly during maintenance. In addition, the nut connection has better resistance to deformation than welding between thin plates.

[0022] The nut 2 is provided with four prongs 21. The prongs 21 are inserted into the sockets around the mounting hole 15 so that the bottom surface of the nut 2 is in contact with the plate body. Then it is welded. Because the prongs 21 are inserted into the plate body 1, spot welding can be used to prevent the nut 2 from coming out of the socket, thus ensuring the connection strength of the nut 2. Similarly, this setting has a higher load-bearing strength than simple welding.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and for the convenience of describing the technical solution, the front, back, left, right, top, middle, and bottom orientations are based on the accompanying drawings and are not a limitation on the protection scope of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
