[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] In the embodiments of this application, 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. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0028] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0030] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, 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, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0032] This application provides a vehicle embodiment. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. For vehicles, to obtain better visibility, more and more models are adopting panoramic sunroofs. At the same time, some SUV and shooting brake models that use panoramic sunroofs also need to accommodate roof racks. Roof racks are generally installed above the panoramic sunroof, with the mounting brackets of the roof rack glued and fixed to the panoramic sunroof, and then the roof rack is fixedly connected to the mounting brackets. This glued fixing method may result in insufficient installation strength of the roof rack; in addition, because the load-bearing capacity of the panoramic sunroof is limited, the load that the roof rack can bear is restricted. Furthermore, when users are installing luggage, there is a possibility of accidental operation, causing the panoramic sunroof to break.

[0033] Based on this, refer to Figures 1-4 This application provides a vehicle body structure including a panoramic sunroof 10 and a side panel assembly 20. The side panel assembly 20 includes a side panel outer plate 21, and the panoramic sunroof 10 is mounted on the side panel outer plate 21. The vehicle body structure may also include a roof rack assembly 30. The factory can equip the roof rack assembly 30 as needed. If the roof rack assembly 30 is required, a first mounting part is arranged on the edge of the side panel outer plate 21, and the roof rack assembly 30 has a second mounting part, which is detachably connected to the first mounting part. The panoramic sunroof 10 is mounted on the side panel outer plate 21, and the edge of the panoramic sunroof 10 extends to the side of the roof rack assembly 30 near the center of the vehicle body.

[0034] The second mounting part is detachably connected to the first mounting part, and the luggage rack assembly 30 can be disassembled and assembled later according to the user's needs. After the luggage rack assembly 30 is disassembled, the space between the edge of the panoramic sunroof 10 and the outer edge of the side panel 21 can be filled by the side panel.

[0035] If the roof rack assembly 30 is not required, the panoramic sunroof 10 can be extended to the outer edge of the side panel 21, and two configurations with and without the roof rack assembly 30 can be achieved through a single body structure.

[0036] The luggage rack assembly 30 is installed and fixed to the side panel assembly 20 in a detachable manner, which provides an option for whether or not to install the luggage rack assembly 30.

[0037] For example, the first mounting part can be a stud provided on the luggage rack assembly 30, and the second mounting part can be a bolt provided on the side panel 21. The luggage rack assembly 30 is installed on the side panel assembly 20 through the threaded engagement between the stud and the bolt.

[0038] The vehicle body structure provided in this application embodiment allows the roof rack assembly 30 to be detachably fixed to the side panel assembly 20 via a first mounting part and a second mounting part. This not only improves the installation strength of the roof rack assembly 30 and thus increases its load-bearing capacity, but also provides an option for whether or not to install the roof rack assembly 30.

[0039] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the first mounting part includes a plurality of first mounting holes 211 disposed on the side outer panel 21, the plurality of first mounting holes 211 being along the X direction (the front-rear direction of the vehicle, for example, the side outer panel 21). Figure 1 The second mounting part is arranged at intervals in the X direction. The second mounting part includes a first fastener 24 opposite to the first mounting hole 211. The first fastener 24 can be inserted into the first mounting hole 211. A thread can be provided in the first mounting hole 211. The first fastener 24 is engaged with the thread in the first mounting hole 211.

[0040] By using multiple first fasteners 24 and multiple first mounting holes 211, the luggage rack assembly 30 and the side panel assembly 20 can be detachably installed, which also simplifies the installation of the luggage rack assembly 30.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the side panel assembly 20 further includes a side panel reinforcing plate 22 and a side panel inner plate 23. The side panel reinforcing plate 22 is located between the side panel outer plate 21 and the side panel inner plate 23. Both the side panel reinforcing plate 22 and the side panel inner plate 23 are provided with a second mounting hole 221 opposite to the first mounting hole 211. A first fastener 24 passes through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221 and is detachably connected to a first fixing member 25. For example, the first fixing member 25 can be provided on the side panel inner plate 23.

[0042] By simultaneously fixing the first fastener 25 to the outer side panel 21, the reinforcing side panel 22, and the inner side panel 23, the installation strength of the luggage rack assembly 30 can be improved. In addition, the connection between the first fastener 24 and the first fastener 25 only requires drilling holes in the outer side panel 21, the reinforcing side panel 22, and the inner side panel 23, which makes the installation of the luggage rack assembly 30 simple and easy to operate.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 When the luggage rack assembly 30 is not required, no openings are needed on the side assembly 20, and the panoramic sunroof 10 extends directly to the outer edge of the side assembly 20.

[0044] For example, the first fastener 24 can be a stud, and the first fixing member 25 can be a bolt.

[0045] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the side panel assembly 20 further includes a side panel reinforcing plate 22 and a side panel inner plate 23. The side panel reinforcing plate 22 is located between the side panel outer plate 21 and the side panel inner plate 23. The side panel reinforcing plate 22 and the side panel inner plate 23 are aligned along the Z-direction (the vertical direction of the vehicle, for example, the side panel inner plate 23). Figure 2 The side reinforcement plate 22 is provided with a second mounting hole 221 opposite to the first mounting hole 211, and the side inner plate 23 has a mounting clearance hole 231 opposite to the second mounting hole 221. The first fastener 25 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fastener 24 through the mounting clearance hole 231.

[0046] According to the construction of the vehicle body structure, the side reinforcement plate 22 and the side inner plate 23 are spaced apart along the Z direction. The first fastener 25 is installed between the side reinforcement plate 22 and the side inner plate 23 through the installation clearance hole 231 and connected to the first fastener 24, which can improve the operability of the roof rack assembly 30 during installation.

[0047] For example, the first fastener 24 can be a stud, and the first fixing member 25 can be a bolt.

[0048] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the luggage rack assembly 30 includes a luggage rack 31 located on the side panel 21. The luggage rack 31 has a third mounting hole 311 opposite to the first mounting hole 211. A first fastener 24 passes through the third mounting hole 311. The first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221 are detachably connected to the first fixing member 25.

[0049] The first fastener 24 is a bolt. The head of the bolt is placed on the side of the luggage rack 31 away from the side panel 21, and the rod extends into the third mounting hole 311, the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 221. When connected with the first fastener 25, the luggage rack 31, the side panel 21 and the side reinforcement plate 22 can be abutted together to improve the installation strength of the luggage rack assembly 30.

[0051] The panoramic canopy 10 extends to the top cover beam 41, and the panoramic canopy 10 and the top cover beam 41 are sealed and fixed together. The panoramic canopy 10 and the top cover beam 41 are bonded and fixed together with sealant 44.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting bracket 32 ​​and the first mounting part are spaced apart along the X-direction, and the mounting bracket 32 ​​provides a mounting point for the roof rack assembly 30. The roof rack assembly 30 is simultaneously mounted and fixed to the vehicle body structure through the first mounting part and the mounting bracket 32. The roof rack assembly 30 is mounted and fixed to the side panel assembly 20 in the X-direction, providing multiple spaced fixing points for fixing the roof rack assembly 30 to the side panel assembly 20, thereby further improving the installation strength of the roof rack assembly 30.
