Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of vehicle manufacturing, roof covers typically require pre-stamping various mounting holes to accommodate top components such as roof racks, antennas, marker lights, and covers. Current technology usually involves directly bolting through these holes to install the top components. However, during long-term use, vehicles inevitably experience vibration, impact, and temperature changes, which can easily lead to a decrease in bolt preload. This allows water to seep through the bolt threads under wind or inertia, eventually flowing into the passenger compartment through the inner nut. This can not only cause interior stains and short circuits in electronic devices, but also seriously affect the vehicle's user experience and safety reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a vehicle that improves the waterproof effect of the vehicle body roof.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the vehicle proposed in this utility model includes: The vehicle body has a roof, the roof having at least one mounting hole; and At least one blind hole rivet nut is riveted to the mounting hole, with one blind hole rivet nut corresponding to one mounting hole, and the opening of the blind hole rivet nut facing outward for mounting vehicle roof parts.

[0005] In one embodiment, the vehicle roof component includes a luggage rack and a cover plate, the cover plate having a luggage position and an idle position. In the luggage position, the luggage rack is mounted to the cover plate via the blind hole rivet nut; in the idle position, the cover plate is mounted to the cover plate via the blind hole rivet nut.

[0006] In one embodiment, a connecting rod protrudes from one side of the cover plate, and the connecting rod is inserted into the blind hole rivet nut.

[0007] In one embodiment, the end of the connecting rod away from the cover plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the connecting rod is snapped into the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut through the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0008] In one embodiment, the width of the snap-fit ​​protrusion is configured to gradually decrease in the direction away from the cover plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​protrusion is made of a flexible material so that it is interference-fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut.

[0010] In one embodiment, the cover plate has a first sealing ring on the side facing the top cover, and in the idle state, the cover plate and the top cover are sealed together by the first sealing ring.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first sealing ring is adhered to the cover plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a second sealing ring, which is sandwiched between the rivet nut and the top cover when the blind hole rivet nut is riveted to the top cover.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rivet nut has a mounting groove, and the second sealing ring is located in the mounting groove.

[0014] The vehicle in this utility model includes a body and at least one blind-hole rivet nut. The body has a roof with at least one mounting hole. The blind-hole rivet nut is riveted to the mounting hole, with one blind-hole rivet nut corresponding to one mounting hole. The opening of the blind-hole rivet nut faces outward for mounting the vehicle roof parts. Compared to the prior art, which uses bolts to fix the roof at the mounting hole, this application's solution uses a blind-hole rivet nut at the mounting hole. This allows the rivet nut to tightly engage with the sheet metal hole through plastic deformation, improving the vibration resistance and loosening resistance of the connection at the mounting hole, thus reducing the possibility of water seepage and leakage, and improving the waterproof effect of the vehicle roof. Furthermore, the bottom of the blind-hole rivet nut is a closed structure, which blocks the channel for water to flow directly into the vehicle through the connection between the vehicle roof parts and the blind-hole rivet nut, further improving the waterproof effect of the vehicle roof.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a vehicle, comprising: The vehicle body has a top cover 10, the top cover 10 having at least one mounting hole 11; and At least one blind hole rivet nut 20 is riveted to the mounting hole 11. Each blind hole rivet nut 20 is provided corresponding to one mounting hole 11. The opening of the blind hole rivet nut 20 is provided outward for mounting parts on the vehicle top.

[0023] The vehicle in this utility model includes a body and at least one blind-hole rivet nut 20. The body has a roof 10 with at least one mounting hole 11. The blind-hole rivet nut 20 is riveted to the mounting hole 11, with one blind-hole rivet nut 20 corresponding to one mounting hole 11. The opening of the blind-hole rivet nut 20 faces outward for mounting vehicle roof parts. Compared with the prior art, which uses bolts to fix the roof 10 at the mounting hole 11, this application's technical solution uses a blind-hole rivet nut 20 at the mounting hole 11. This allows the rivet nut to tightly engage with the sheet metal hole through plastic deformation, thereby improving the vibration resistance and loosening resistance of the connection at the mounting hole 11, reducing the possibility of water seepage and leakage at the mounting hole 11, and thus improving the waterproof effect of the roof 10. On the other hand, the bottom of the blind-hole rivet nut 20 is a closed structure, which blocks the channel for water to flow directly into the vehicle through the connection between the vehicle roof parts and the blind-hole rivet nut 20, further improving the waterproof effect of the roof 10.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the vehicle roof components include a luggage rack 31 and a cover plate 32. The roof 10 has a luggage state and an idle state. In the luggage state, the luggage rack 31 is installed on the roof 10 via the blind hole rivet nut 20; in the idle state, the cover plate 32 is installed on the roof 10 via the blind hole rivet nut 20. That is, when the user needs to load luggage on the vehicle roof 10, the blind hole rivet nut 20 provides a sturdy mounting point for the luggage rack 31, which facilitates the installation and removal of the luggage rack 31, while also improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the luggage rack 31, so as to be able to load heavier goods. When the user does not need to load other items on the vehicle roof, the cover plate 32 is installed at the corresponding mounting hole 11, which on the one hand achieves a flat, beautiful and leak-proof long-term protection; on the other hand, it can also reduce wind resistance and wind noise when the vehicle is driving, thus taking into account the functionality and economy of the vehicle in different usage scenarios.

[0025] Of course, in other implementations, the vehicle roof components may also include antennas, marker lights, etc., to meet the functions in different scenarios.

[0026] Furthermore, the inner circumferential wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20 is provided with internal threads, allowing the luggage rack 31 to be directly fixed to the top cover 10 by the engagement of bolts and internal threads. The installation method of bolts and blind hole rivet nuts 20 is simple, stable, and reliable, enabling the luggage rack 31 to carry heavier cargo and improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the luggage rack 31. Understandably, the bolts also pass through the luggage rack 31, therefore, there is an installation gap between the bolts and the luggage rack 31. On the one hand, a sealing plate can be installed on the luggage rack 31 to cover the bolts, thereby reducing the risk of external rainwater entering the vehicle body through the gap between the bolts and the mounting bracket. On the other hand, the installation gap between the bolts and the luggage rack 31 is also very small. Even if a small amount of rainwater enters between the luggage rack 31 and the top cover 10 through the installation gap, it is difficult for it to enter the vehicle body through the gap between the blind hole rivet nut 20 and the mounting hole 11, thus making the waterproof effect of the top cover 10 better.

[0027] Reference Figures 2 to 4 Since the luggage rack 31 serves to load cargo, it needs to support heavy items. Therefore, the installation strength between the luggage rack 31 and the roof cover 10 needs to be maintained at a high level to ensure the stability and reliability of the cargo on the luggage rack 31. However, the cover plate 32 only serves a protective function when the roof cover 10 has no other function and does not need to bear a large pressure. Therefore, in one embodiment, a connecting rod 321 protrudes from one side of the cover plate 32, and the connecting rod 321 is inserted into the blind hole rivet nut 20. The connection between the cover plate 32 and the blind hole rivet nut 20 is achieved through the connecting rod 321, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the cover plate 32 and facilitating the replacement of different vehicle roof parts. At the same time, the connecting rod 321 is located on the side of the cover plate 32 facing the roof cover 10, that is, the connecting rod 321 does not need to pass through the cover plate 32. Therefore, there is no need to worry about rainwater entering through the connection between the cover plate 32 and the connecting rod 321, thereby improving the waterproof effect between the cover plate 32 and the roof cover 10.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting rod 321 and the cover plate 32 are integrally formed, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting rod 321 and the cover plate 32, avoiding the possibility of deformation and breakage of the connecting rod 321 during installation, and thus improving the stability and reliability of the cover plate 32.

[0029] Furthermore, the end of the connecting rod 321 furthest from the cover plate is provided with a locking protrusion 321a, through which the connecting rod 321 is locked to the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20. By providing the locking protrusion 321a, the installation and disassembly of the connecting rod 321 and the blind hole rivet nut 20 are facilitated, and the connection strength between the connecting rod 321 and the blind hole rivet nut 20 is increased, reducing the possibility of the cover plate 32 detaching from the blind hole rivet nut 20 during vehicle vibration and high-speed driving, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the cover plate 32.

[0030] Specifically, the width of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a gradually decreases in the direction away from the cover plate 32. That is, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a is frustum-shaped. By making the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a frustum-shaped, it is easier for the connecting rod 321 to be inserted into the blind hole rivet nut 20. In other words, during the installation of the cover plate 32, the operator does not need precise alignment. They only need to roughly align the positions of the connecting rod 321 and the blind hole rivet nut 20, and then insert the connecting rod 321 into the blind hole rivet nut 20, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the cover plate 32. At the same time, the frustum-shaped snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a also reduces the contact area between the connecting rod 321 and the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20, so that the cover plate 32 can be pressed into the blind hole rivet nut 20 without applying excessive force during installation.

[0031] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a is made of a flexible material so that it interferes with the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20. By making the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a a flexible material, it can interfere with the blind hole rivet nut 20, increasing the friction between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a and the blind hole rivet nut 20, thereby increasing the connection strength between the connecting rod 321 and the blind hole rivet nut 20. At the same time, the flexible snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a also avoids wear on the thread structure of the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20 during frequent insertion and removal, thus improving the service life of the blind hole rivet nut 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a can also be made of a rigid material, because the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole rivet nut 20 is provided with a threaded structure. This threaded structure can also play a certain snap-fit ​​role, so that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a can be snapped in place, and can also ensure that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 321a is firmly snapped in place on the inner peripheral surface of the blind hole rivet nut 20.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cover plate 32 has a first sealing ring 322 on the side facing the top cover 10. In the idle state, the cover plate 32 and the top cover 10 are sealed together by the first sealing ring 322. By providing the first sealing ring 322, the sealing effect between the cover plate 32 and the top cover 10 is improved, thereby reducing the possibility of external liquid entering the space between the top cover 10 and the cover plate 32 through the gap between the cover plate 32 and the top cover 10. This further reduces the possibility of external liquid entering the vehicle body through the gap between the blind hole rivet nut 20 and the mounting hole 11, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the vehicle body roof.

[0033] Furthermore, the first sealing ring 322 is adhered to the cover plate 32. By adhering the first sealing ring 322 to the cover plate 32, the possibility of the first sealing ring 322 shifting during the installation of the cover plate 32 is reduced, thereby increasing the likelihood of the first sealing ring 322 being properly installed. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sealing ring 322 can also be formed by sealing the cover plate 32 and the top cover 10 with adhesive. After the adhesive solidifies, the first sealing ring 322 is formed. In this case, the adhesive strength of the adhesive is not too strong, and its main function is to provide waterproofing, thereby avoiding difficulty in disassembling the cover plate 32.

[0034] In one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a second sealing ring 21, and when the blind hole rivet nut 20 is riveted to the top cover 10, the second sealing ring 21 is sandwiched between the rivet nut and the top cover 10. By providing the second sealing ring 21, the sealing effect between the rivet nut and the mounting hole 11 is further improved, reducing the possibility of external liquid entering the vehicle body through the gap between the rivet nut and the mounting hole 11, thereby further improving the waterproof effect between the rivet nut and the mounting hole 11. Furthermore, when the blind hole rivet nut 20 is riveted to the mounting hole 11, the second sealing ring 21 can be firmly pressed between the blind hole rivet nut 20 and the mounting hole 11, thereby reducing the gap between the blind hole rivet nut 20 and the top cover 10.

[0035] Furthermore, the rivet nut is provided with a mounting groove, and the second sealing ring 21 is located in the mounting groove. By providing the mounting groove, the possibility of the second sealing ring 21 shifting during the riveting installation of the blind hole rivet nut 20 is reduced, thereby facilitating the riveting of the blind hole rivet nut 20 and avoiding the possibility of reduced sealing performance due to the shifting of the second sealing ring 21, thus improving the waterproof effect at the mounting hole 11.
