The bottom plate, left and right side plates, and front and rear end plates are all composite panels, with side reinforcing frames on the outer sides of the left and right side plates and a bottom reinforcing frame on the lower side of the bottom plate. This design not only provides the inner wall of the cargo box with good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but also facilitates the welding of the composite plate (with a stainless steel inner layer and a common steel outer layer) to the corresponding reinforcing frames, solving the problem of difficult stainless steel welding. In particular, the special design of the bottom and side reinforcing frames gives the box sufficient toughness and impact resistance, effectively reducing the overall weight of the box while improving structural strength, thus bringing beneficial effects to the vehicle's load-bearing capacity. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 .
[0033] To address the problem that existing cargo boxes are mostly single units with inconvenient internal space and difficulty in expanding their internal volume according to usage requirements, this solution provides an automotive aluminum cargo box with a modular expansion structure. The cargo box includes an upper cargo box panel 1 and a lower cargo box panel 2. Both the upper and lower cargo box panels 1 and 2 have mounting slots 3 on their left ends. The right ends of the upper and lower cargo box panels 1 and 2 are respectively inserted into mounting slots 3 on the left side of another adjacent upper and lower cargo box panel 1 and 2. An expansion panel 4 is connected to the upper cargo box panel 1 and the lower cargo box panel 2 via limiting components. An installation component is provided at the lower end of the lower cargo box panel 2, which fixes the lower cargo box panel 2 to the vehicle frame.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, firstly, according to the usage requirements of the internal space, the expansion plate 4 can be placed on the front and rear sides between the upper cargo box 1 and the lower cargo box 2. By setting the limiting components, the limiting components include a fixed connecting plate 5 for connection, protrusions 6 fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the fixed connecting plate 5, and a first bolt 8 for limiting. The fixed connecting plate 5 is respectively snapped between the upper cargo box 1 and the expansion plate 4 and between the lower cargo box 2 and the expansion plate 4. At the same time, the protrusions 6 are snapped into the corresponding fixing holes 7. Then, by rotating the first bolt 8, the expansion plate 4 and the lower cargo box 2 and the expansion plate 4 and the upper cargo box 1 are limited, thereby enabling modular expansion of the cargo box volume.
[0035] Then, insert the right ends of the upper cargo box 1 and the lower cargo box 2 into the mounting slots 3 on the left side of the other upper cargo box 1 and lower cargo box 2 located adjacent to each other on the right. Next, attach the splicing plates 9 to the connection points between the upper cargo box 1 and the lower cargo box 2, respectively. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, positioning blocks 10 are engaged at both the front and rear ends of the splicing plate 9. The splicing plate 9 is limited to the upper cargo box plate 1 and the lower cargo box plate 2 by second bolts 11, thus completing the modular splicing of the cargo box. Furthermore, the overall number of upper cargo box plates 1 and lower cargo box plates 2 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In addition, as... Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, after the modular assembly of the cargo box is completed, an installation component is provided at the lower end of the cargo box. The installation component includes a support rail 12 fixed to the lower end of the lower cargo box plate 2, a movable mounting block 13 sleeved on the outside of the support rail 12, and a third bolt 14 for limiting the position. The lower end of the movable mounting block 13 has an installation hole. The movable mounting block 13 is sleeved on the outside of the support rail 12, and then the movable mounting block 13 is moved. The movable mounting block 13 and the support rail 12 slide back and forth to move the movable mounting block 13 to the position corresponding to the installation position on the vehicle. Then, the third bolt 14 limits the position between the movable mounting block 13 and the support rail 12. Then, the lower end of the movable mounting block 13 is engaged with the installation position on the vehicle, and the position between the movable mounting block 13 and the vehicle is limited, thereby facilitating the installation of the cargo box.
