Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle body technology, and in particular to a ladder mounting structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some vehicle models can be equipped with ladders on the body through optional features, allowing users to easily access the roof. In traditional designs, ladders are typically mounted on the side panels of the vehicle, and a support structure is usually incorporated into the side panels to increase the reliability of the ladder installation.

[0003] While existing ladder installation methods can achieve ladder installation on the vehicle body, they still have shortcomings such as limited strength of the ladder when installed on the vehicle body, which is not conducive to improving the installation and use quality of ladders on vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a ladder installation structure to improve the installation and use quality of ladders on vehicles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A ladder mounting structure is suitable for mounting a ladder on a vehicle body via mounting components, and includes a mounting seat and a mounting bracket disposed between a side pillar and a side outer panel in the vehicle body. The mounting base is fixed to the side column by the mounting bracket, and the mounting base is provided with a ladder mounting hole. The mounting component passes through the mounting hole on the outer side plate and is fixed in the ladder mounting hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting base is cast and formed, and a cavity is formed inside the mounting base.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting base has a blocking plate at one end near the outer side panel to seal the cavity, and the ladder mounting hole is provided through the blocking plate; The blocking plate is attached to the inner wall of the outer side panel, and a sealant is provided between the blocking plate and the inner wall of the outer side panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is stamped and formed, and a cavity is formed between the mounting bracket and the side column.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a bracket connection hole, and the mounting base and the mounting bracket are fixedly connected together by a connector; The connector passes through the connection hole on the mounting bracket and is fixed in the bracket connection hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a plurality of bracket connection holes and a plurality of ladder mounting holes, and some of the bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes are coaxially arranged; The mounting base is provided with a partition structure, which separates the coaxially arranged bracket connection hole and ladder mounting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has a bracket body and multiple support arms connected to the bracket body; Each of the support arms is connected to the side column, and the mounting base is connected to the bracket body and at least one of the support arms respectively through multiple connectors.

[0012] Furthermore, it includes a mounting bracket located on the outer side of the side panel; The mounting bracket is arranged corresponding to the mounting seat, and the mounting component passes through the through hole on the mounting bracket. The installed ladder is supported on the mounting bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the mounting bracket near the outer side panel is attached to the outer wall of the outer side panel, and a sealing gasket is provided between the mounting bracket and the outer side panel.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The ladder installation structure described in this application, by setting a mounting seat and a mounting bracket between the side panel and the side column, and fixing the mounting seat to the side column through the mounting bracket, can increase the overall structural strength of the ladder installation position by using the mounting seat to fix it to the side column, thereby improving the installation strength of the ladder on the vehicle body, improving the reliability of the ladder, and thus improving the installation and use quality of the ladder on the vehicle.

[0015] (2) The mounting base is cast and formed into a cavity, which facilitates the preparation of the mounting base and helps to reduce the cost of the mounting base. At the same time, the mounting base can be used as a cast cavity part, so that the mounting base itself has good structural strength. Combined with the fixing of the mounting base on the side column, the overall structural strength of the ladder installation position can be further increased, which can improve the installation strength of the ladder on the vehicle body and improve the reliability of the ladder.

[0016] (3) A blocking plate is provided at one end of the mounting base near the outer side panel, and the blocking plate is fitted to the inner wall of the outer side panel. A sealant is provided between the blocking plate and the inner wall of the outer side panel. The mounting base is designed to conform to the shape of the outer side panel, so that the mounting base can provide better support for the outer side panel. This can effectively prevent the outer side panel from collapsing during ladder installation, which helps to ensure the appearance quality of the vehicle body. At the same time, the sealant provided between the blocking plate and the inner wall of the outer side panel can also effectively seal the gap between the mounting base and the outer side panel, preventing external water from entering the vehicle body side panel through the installation holes on the outer side panel, which is beneficial to improving the sealing of the ladder installation position.

[0017] (4) The mounting bracket is stamped and formed, and a cavity is formed between the mounting bracket and the side column. The stamping of the mounting bracket can facilitate its design and preparation, which helps to reduce the design and manufacturing cost of the mounting structure. At the same time, the high strength of the cavity structure can be used to increase the structural strength of the mounting bracket itself, which helps to improve the stability of the mounting seat fixed on the side column.

[0018] (5) A bracket connection hole is provided on the mounting base, and a connection through hole is provided on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket and the mounting base are connected together by a connector that passes through the connection through hole and is fixed in the bracket connection hole. The structure is simple, easy to design, form and connect. It can facilitate the connection between the mounting base and the mounting bracket, and also help to ensure the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket and the mounting base.

[0019] (6) The mounting base has multiple bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes, and some bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes are coaxially arranged. A partition structure is provided in the mounting base to separate the coaxial bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes. On the one hand, the coaxial arrangement of the bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes simplifies the structure of the mounting base and facilitates the design and preparation of the mounting base. On the other hand, the partition structure separates the bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes, and on the basis of the coaxial arrangement of the bracket connection holes and ladder mounting holes, it can prevent external water from entering the interior of the vehicle side panel through the ladder mounting holes and bracket connection holes, thereby improving the sealing of the ladder mounting position.

[0020] (7) The mounting bracket has a main body and multiple arms, and each arm is connected to the side column. At the same time, the mounting seat is connected to the main body and at least one arm. This not only facilitates the connection between the mounting seat and the mounting bracket, as well as between the mounting bracket and the side column, but also facilitates the formation of a cavity between the mounting bracket and the side column. Furthermore, by connecting the mounting seat to the main body and the arms respectively, the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket and the mounting seat can be guaranteed, which helps to improve the stability of the mounting seat fixed on the side column.

[0021] (8) A mounting bracket corresponding to the mounting seat arrangement is provided on the outer side of the side panel, so that the mounting parts are inserted into the through holes on the mounting bracket, and the ladder after installation is supported on the mounting bracket. With the support of the mounting bracket on the inner side of the side panel, the ladder after installation is supported on the outer side of the side panel, so that there is a certain distance between the ladder and the side panel of the vehicle body. This facilitates the use of the ladder, improves the practicality of the ladder, and also helps to avoid bumping the side panel of the vehicle body when using the ladder, which would damage the appearance of the vehicle and improve the quality of the ladder.

[0022] (9) By making the end of the mounting bracket close to the outer wall of the side panel fit against the outer wall of the side panel, and setting a sealing gasket between the mounting bracket and the side panel, the end of the mounting bracket can be designed to conform to the shape of the side panel, avoiding problems such as collapse of the side panel during ladder installation and use due to the stress on the mounting bracket. This helps to ensure the appearance quality of the vehicle body. At the same time, the sealing gasket set between the mounting bracket and the side panel can also prevent external water from flowing into the side panel of the vehicle body through the gap between the mounting bracket and the side panel and the installation holes on the side panel, which is beneficial to improving the sealing of the ladder installation position.

[0023] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle having a ladder mounting structure as described above on its body.

[0024] The vehicle described in this application and the aforementioned ladder installation structure have the same advantages over related technologies, which will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the technical solution and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" 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; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0031] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0032] The first aspect of this application provides a ladder mounting structure, which is suitable for mounting a ladder 1 on a vehicle body via a mounting member 5, and preferably mounting the ladder 1 at the rear of the vehicle body. The ladder mounting structure of this embodiment, through its innovative structural design, is beneficial to improving the installation and use quality of the ladder 1 on the vehicle.

[0033] In related technologies, as people's living standards improve, self-driving tours are becoming more and more popular. When driving outdoors, people sometimes climb onto the roof of some car models that have a stepping stone to get a better view.

[0034] To facilitate access to the roof, some vehicle models, especially off-road vehicles, can have a ladder 1 installed on the body as an optional extra. Currently, in traditional vehicle body designs, the ladder 1 is generally installed on the side panel of the vehicle body by bolts, and a bracket structure is also set in the side panel of the vehicle body. The bolts for installing the ladder 1 are connected to the bracket structure to increase the reliability of the ladder 1 installation.

[0035] However, while the existing ladder installation method can achieve the installation of ladder 1 on the vehicle body, it still has shortcomings such as limited installation strength of ladder 1 on the vehicle body, which is not conducive to improving the installation and use quality of ladder 1 on the vehicle.

[0036] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of related technologies, the ladder installation structure in this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the overall design includes a mounting base 401 and a mounting bracket 402 located between the side pillar 3 and the side outer panel 2 in the vehicle body.

[0037] The mounting base 401 is fixed to the side pillar 3 by the mounting bracket 402, and the mounting base 401 is provided with a ladder mounting hole 401a. The mounting component 5 passes through the mounting through hole 201 on the side outer panel 2 and is fixed in the ladder mounting hole 401a to realize the installation of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body.

[0038] Therefore, as described above, by setting a mounting seat 401 and a mounting bracket 402 between the outer side panel 2 and the side pillar 3 in the side panel of the vehicle body, and fixing the mounting seat 401 to the side pillar 3 through the mounting bracket 402, this embodiment can utilize the fixing of the mounting seat 401 to the side pillar 3 to increase the overall structural strength of the ladder 1 installation position by means of the side pillar 3. This can improve the installation strength of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body and improve the reliability of the ladder 1, thereby improving the installation and use quality of the ladder 1 on the vehicle.

[0039] Based on the above overview, specifically, it is worth noting that, as before... Figure 1 As shown, the ladder 1 installed by the ladder mounting structure of this embodiment can be installed, for example, at the rear of the vehicle body. In this way, compared with the method of installing the ladder 1 on the side of the vehicle body, placing the ladder 1 at the rear of the vehicle body obviously avoids the increase in the width of the vehicle body caused by setting the ladder 1 on the side of the vehicle body, which would affect the vehicle's passability and increase the wind noise when the vehicle is driving, thus adversely affecting the overall driving comfort of the vehicle.

[0040] Furthermore, since the ladder 1 is installed at the rear of the vehicle body, and considering that ladders are generally installed on off-road vehicles and other vehicles with a D-pillar, this embodiment still refers to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the aforementioned side pillar 3 can typically be a D-pillar in the side panel of the vehicle body. That is, in the preferred embodiment of this example, the ladder 1 is installed on the D-pillar in the side panel of the vehicle body via a mounting structure, and specifically installed on the rear side of the D-pillar.

[0041] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned installation of the ladder 1 at the rear of the vehicle body and on the D-pillar in the side panel of the vehicle body, in other embodiments, if the corresponding installation conditions are met, the ladder 1 can also be installed in other positions on the vehicle body, such as the side panel of the vehicle body. In addition to installation on the D-pillar in the side panel of the vehicle body, the ladder 1 can also be installed on other column structures in the side panel of the vehicle body using the ladder installation structure of this embodiment, as long as the column structure meets the arrangement requirements of the ladder installation structure of this embodiment, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0042] Furthermore, it is understandable that continuing as Figure 1 As shown, to ensure the reliability of the ladder 1's installation on the vehicle body, it is generally necessary to install both the top and bottom of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body. Furthermore, for ease of description, the structure used for mounting the bottom of the ladder 1 can be referred to as the lower mounting structure 4, and similarly, the structure used for mounting the top of the ladder 1 can be referred to as the upper mounting structure 7.

[0043] At this point, it is worth noting that the ladder mounting structure in this embodiment is specifically the lower mounting structure 4 for mounting the bottom of the ladder 1, so that the bottom of the ladder 1 can be mounted on the vehicle body, especially on the side pillar 3 (D pillar) in the vehicle body.

[0044] Regarding the upper mounting structure 7 used for mounting the top of the ladder 1, in specific implementations, it can refer to the ladder mounting structure of this embodiment and adopt a structure that is the same as or similar to the lower mounting structure 4. Alternatively, in addition to adopting a structure that is the same as or similar to the lower mounting structure 4, the upper mounting structure 7 can also adopt other mounting structures that allow the top of the ladder 1 to be mounted on the vehicle body, especially on the side pillar 3 (D pillar). The form of these mounting structures is not limited, as long as they can achieve reliable mounting of the top of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body.

[0045] Continue to combine Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the mounting base 401 is cast and a cavity S is formed inside the mounting base 401.

[0046] This allows the mounting base 401 to be cast in shape, forming a cavity S inside, which facilitates the fabrication of the mounting base 401 and helps reduce its cost. Simultaneously, it is understood that utilizing the cast cavity of the mounting base 401 also gives it good structural strength. Combined with its fixation to the side pillar 3, this further increases the overall structural strength of the ladder 1 mounting location, improving the installation strength of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body and enhancing its reliability.

[0047] In specific implementation, as a feasible exemplary structural form, the cast-molded mounting base 401 of this embodiment may structurally have, for example, an outer shell 4011, and a mounting post 4013 disposed inside the outer shell 4011 via a reinforcing rib plate 4014. The above-mentioned ladder mounting hole 401a is provided on the mounting post 4013.

[0048] Accordingly, the mounting base 401 is provided with the outer shell 4011 and the mounting post 4013 disposed inside the outer shell 4011 via the reinforcing rib plate 4014, so that a cavity S inside the mounting base 401 can be formed, making the mounting base 401 a cast-molded cavity part. By utilizing the characteristic of high structural strength of the cavity part structure, the structural strength of the mounting base 401 itself is improved.

[0049] In addition, further, in specific implementation, the cast-molded mounting base 401 can generally be made of an aluminum alloy material or a magnesium alloy material. Using the aluminum alloy material or the magnesium alloy material not only facilitates the preparation of the mounting base 401 and endows the mounting base 401 with good structural strength, but also enables the mounting base 401 to have a relatively light weight, which is beneficial to realizing a lightweight design.

[0050] With continued reference to Figure 7 shown therein, in some of the exemplary implementation forms, the above-mentioned reinforcing rib plate 4014 located inside the mounting base 401 may adopt a structural form such as a "meter" shape or a "cross" shape, for example, so as to form a plurality of support plates 40141 arranged around the mounting post 4013.

[0051] Accordingly, the reinforcing rib plate 4014 is configured in a "meter" shape or a "cross" shape to form the plurality of support plates 40141 arranged around the mounting post 4013. It can be understood that this not only enables the reinforcing rib plate 4014 to have a relatively regular structure as a whole, but also facilitates the design and preparation of the reinforcing rib plate 4014 and even the mounting base 401.

[0052] At the same time, through the formed plurality of support plates 40141, the connection support of the mounting post 4013 from different angles by each support plate 40141 can be utilized to ensure the connection and reinforcement effect of the reinforcing rib plate 4014, which helps to improve the reliability of the arrangement of the mounting post 4013 inside the mounting base 401, and is beneficial to improving the stability of the installation of the ladder 1 on the mounting base 401.

[0053] In addition, based on the arrangement of the mounting post 4013 inside the mounting base 401, in specific implementation, it is worth noting that still referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, the mounting posts 4013 are multiple posts spaced apart within the housing 4011, and some of the mounting posts 4013 may be provided with ladder mounting holes 401a for mounting the ladder 1. At the same time, each mounting post 4013 is provided within the housing 4011 by a corresponding reinforcing rib plate 4014.

[0054] Specifically, the mounting base 401 in this embodiment can be, for example, as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 The overall structure shown is "L" shaped. For example, there can be three mounting posts 4013 in the mounting base 401, and ladder mounting holes 401a are provided on two of the mounting posts 4013 for installing the ladder 1.

[0055] In this embodiment, we continue to combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the end of the mounting base 401 near the outer side panel 2 may have a blocking plate 4012, which is used to seal the cavity S inside the mounting base 401, through which the aforementioned ladder mounting hole 401a is provided. Simultaneously, the blocking plate 4012 is also fitted against the inner wall of the outer side panel 2, and sealant is provided between the blocking plate 4012 and the inner wall of the outer side panel 2.

[0056] Therefore, by providing a blocking plate 4012 at one end of the mounting base 401 near the outer side panel 2, and by fitting the blocking plate 4012 against the inner wall of the outer side panel 2, and by providing sealant between the blocking plate 4012 and the inner wall of the outer side panel 2, this embodiment can obviously utilize the design of the end of the mounting base 401 conforming to the outer side panel 2, so that the mounting base 401 can provide better support for the outer side panel 2, thereby effectively preventing problems such as the collapse of the outer side panel 2 during the installation of the ladder 1, which helps to ensure the appearance quality of the vehicle body.

[0057] Meanwhile, by providing sealant between the blocking plate 4012 and the inner wall of the side outer panel 2, it can be understood that this embodiment can also effectively seal the gap between the mounting base 401 and the side outer panel 2, preventing external water from flowing into the interior of the vehicle side panel through the mounting hole 201 on the side outer panel 2, which is beneficial to improving the sealing of the ladder 1 mounting position.

[0058] In practical implementation, the above-mentioned sealant can be a product commonly used in vehicles that has good adhesion and weather resistance.

[0059] In this embodiment, as follows... Figures 3 to 6 and combined Figure 10As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the mounting bracket 402 may be stamped, and a cavity Q is formed between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3.

[0060] At this point, the mounting bracket 402 is stamped, forming a cavity Q between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3. The stamping process of the mounting bracket 402 facilitates its design and fabrication, helping to reduce the design and manufacturing costs of the mounting structure. Simultaneously, the high structural strength of the cavity structure can be utilized to increase the structural strength of the mounting bracket 402 itself, thus improving the stability of the mounting base 401 fixed to the side column 3.

[0061] In practice, the mounting bracket 402 is formed by stamping, which is generally a sheet metal part made of steel. The mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3 can usually be connected together by welding to ensure the connection strength between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire ladder installation structure on the side column 3.

[0062] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, to achieve the connection between the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401, a bracket connection hole 401b may be provided on the mounting base 401, while the mounting base 401 and the mounting bracket 402 are fixed together by a connector 6. The connector 6 passes through the connection through hole 402a on the mounting bracket 402 and is fixed in the bracket connection hole 401b on the mounting base 401.

[0063] In specific implementation, taking the installation base 401 with the installation post 4013 inside as an example, the bracket connection hole 401b can also be set on the installation post 4013.

[0064] It is understandable that by providing a bracket connection hole 401b in the mounting base 401 and a connection through hole 402a in the mounting bracket 402, and connecting the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401 together through the connector 6 passing through the connection through hole 402a and fixed in the bracket connection hole 401b, it has the advantages of simple structure, easy design, molding and connection operation. At the same time, it obviously facilitates the connection between the mounting base 401 and the mounting bracket 402, and also helps to ensure the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401.

[0065] It is worth noting that, as a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned connector 6 may be a bolt, thereby achieving the connection between the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401 through a screw connection.

[0066] When bolts are used for connector 6, in order to realize the screw connection of connector 6 in bracket connection hole 401b, taking the casting of mounting base 401 as an example, on the basis of casting of mounting base 401, a threaded sleeve can generally be embedded in bracket connection hole 401b, so as to use the screw connection between threaded sleeve and connector 6 to fix mounting bracket 402 and mounting base 401 together.

[0067] In this embodiment, the connecting member 6 can be a bolt. It should be noted that, as a preferred embodiment, the mounting member 5 can also generally be a bolt. In order to realize the screw connection of the mounting member 5 in the ladder mounting hole 401a on the mounting base 401, a threaded sleeve can be embedded in the ladder mounting hole 401a in the specific implementation, so as to use the screw connection between the threaded sleeve and the mounting member 5 to fix the ladder 1 and the mounting base 401 together.

[0068] In this embodiment, as mentioned above, the mounting posts 4013 in the mounting base 401 can be multiple. Therefore, in some exemplary embodiments, there can be multiple bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a on the mounting base 401, and some bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a can be coaxially arranged.

[0069] The bracket connection hole 401b and the ladder mounting hole 401a are coaxially arranged, meaning that the bracket connection hole 401b and the ladder mounting hole 401a, located on the same mounting column 4013, are coaxially arranged. Furthermore, based on the coaxial arrangement of the bracket connection hole 401b and the ladder mounting hole 401a, this embodiment may further provide a partition structure 4015 within the mounting base 401, which separates the coaxially arranged bracket connection hole 401b and ladder mounting hole 401a.

[0070] Thus, it is understandable that the mounting base 401 has multiple bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a, with some of the bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a being coaxially arranged. Furthermore, a partition structure 4015 is provided within the mounting base 401 to separate the coaxially arranged bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a. On one hand, this embodiment simplifies the structure of the mounting base 401 by utilizing the coaxial arrangement of the bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a, facilitating the design and fabrication of the mounting base 401. On the other hand, by separating the bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a through the partition structure 4015, external water flow is prevented from entering the vehicle side panel through the ladder mounting holes 401a and bracket connection holes 401b, thus improving the sealing of the ladder 1 mounting position.

[0071] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that, since there are multiple mounting columns 4013 in the mounting base 401, unlike the setup of the ladder mounting holes 401a, this embodiment can, for example, have bracket connection holes 401b on each mounting column 4013. Thus, by providing bracket connection holes 401b on each mounting column 4013, the number of connecting parts 6 between the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401 can be increased, which can adapt to the "L"-shaped structural design of the mounting base 401 and ensure the stability of the mounting base 401 fixed on the side column 3.

[0072] Furthermore, given that each mounting post 4013 is provided with a bracket connection hole 401b, for mounting posts 4013 that are provided with both bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a, the bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a should be coaxially arranged and separated by a partition structure 4015. For mounting posts 4013 that only require bracket connection holes 401b, generally, it is acceptable to form the bracket connection holes 401b only on the mounting post 4013, or to reserve ladder mounting holes 401a on the mounting post 4013 in addition to the bracket connection holes 401b.

[0073] Whether only the bracket connection hole 401b is provided, or both the bracket connection hole 401b and the ladder mounting hole 401a are provided, a partition structure 4015 must be provided within the mounting base 401, that is, within the mounting column 4013, to ensure a sealing effect at the installation and connection points on the mounting base 401. The partition structure 4015 can be integrally formed within the mounting column 4013 during the casting of the mounting base 401.

[0074] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the mounting bracket 402 may structurally have, for example, a bracket body 4021 and a plurality of arms 4022 connected to the bracket body 4021.

[0075] Each arm 4022 is connected to the side column 3, and the mounting base 401 is also connected to the bracket body 4021 and one of the arms 4022 respectively through multiple connectors 6.

[0076] At this point, the mounting bracket 402 has a bracket body 4021 and multiple support arms 4022, and each support arm 4022 is connected to the side column 3. At the same time, the mounting base 401 is connected to the bracket body 4021 and one support arm 4022 respectively. It can be understood that this not only facilitates the connection between the mounting base 401 and the mounting bracket 402, and between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3, but also facilitates the formation of a cavity between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3. Furthermore, by utilizing the separate connection between the mounting base 401 and the bracket body 4021 and the support arm 4022, it can obviously also ensure the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 402 and the mounting base 401, which helps to improve the stability of the mounting base 401 fixed on the side column 3.

[0077] In specific implementation, since the mounting bracket 402 has a bracket body 4021 and multiple support arms 4022, in order to further increase the structural strength of the mounting bracket 402, for example, reinforcing ribs can be set at the position between the bracket body 4021 and each support arm 4022, and on each support arm 4022, so as to improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket 402 by setting the reinforcing ribs.

[0078] Additionally, it is worth noting that, to facilitate the connection between the mounting base 401 and the support arm 4022, such as Figure 10 As shown, for example, during the preparation of the mounting bracket 402, a boss structure can be formed on the support arm 4022 with a connecting through hole 402a. The connecting through hole 402a is located on the boss structure, so that the plane formed by the boss structure can be used to achieve a stable abutment between the mounting base 401 and the support arm 4022.

[0079] Besides connecting one of the support arms 4022 to the mounting base 401 via the connector 6, in other embodiments, more support arms 4022 can be connected to the mounting base 401 according to specific design needs, and there is no limitation on this. However, it is still recommended that the mounting base 401 be mainly connected to the bracket body 4021 in the mounting bracket 402, minimizing the number of support arms 4022 involved in the connection, so as to reduce the design and manufacturing difficulty of the mounting bracket 402.

[0080] Still Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in some exemplary embodiments, the ladder mounting structure of this embodiment may further include, for example, a mounting support 403 disposed on the outside of the side panel 2.

[0081] The mounting bracket 403 is arranged corresponding to the mounting base 401, and the mounting member 5 passes through the through hole 403a on the mounting bracket 403, while the installed ladder 1 is supported on the mounting bracket 403.

[0082] Thus, by providing a mounting bracket 403 corresponding to the mounting seat 401 on the outer side of the side panel 2, the mounting component 5 passes through the through hole 403a on the mounting bracket 403, and the installed ladder 1 is supported on the mounting bracket 403. It can be understood that, under the support of the mounting seat 401 on the inner side of the side panel 2, and with the support of the mounting bracket 403 on the outer side of the side panel 2, a certain distance is maintained between the installed ladder 1 and the vehicle side panel. This not only facilitates the use of the ladder 1 and improves its practicality, but also helps to avoid bumping the vehicle side panel when using the ladder 1, thus preventing damage to the vehicle's appearance, and also improves the quality of use of the ladder 1.

[0083] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that we should continue to combine... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the mounting bracket 403 can also be a cast aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy structure, or in addition to being a metal part, it is also possible to make the mounting bracket 403 an injection molded plastic part. However, it should be noted that when using injection molded parts, the mounting bracket 403 should be made of plastic with good structural performance and weather resistance.

[0084] Meanwhile, regardless of whether cast metal parts or injection-molded plastic parts are used, the mounting bracket 403 in this embodiment can also be, for example, as shown in the example... Figure 11 The structure shown is hollow, and through holes 403a can be provided on the mounting support 403, for example, similar to the mounting post 4013 and reinforcing rib plate 4014 in the mounting base 401 described above.

[0085] In this embodiment, based on the above-mentioned mounting bracket 403, in some exemplary implementations, for example, the end of the mounting bracket 403 near the outer wall of the side panel 2 can be attached to the outer wall of the side panel 2, and a sealing gasket 404 can be provided between the mounting bracket 403 and the side panel 2.

[0086] At this time, by making the end of the mounting bracket 403 close to the outer wall of the side panel 2 fit against the outer wall of the side panel 2, and by setting a sealing gasket 404 between the mounting bracket 403 and the side panel 2, it can be understood that this not only utilizes the design of the end of the mounting bracket 403 conforming to the side panel 2 to avoid problems such as the side panel 2 collapsing due to the force on the mounting bracket 403 during the installation and use of the ladder 1, but also helps to ensure the appearance quality of the vehicle body.

[0087] At the same time, by using the sealing gasket 404 set between the mounting bracket 403 and the outer side panel 2, this embodiment can also prevent external water from flowing into the interior of the vehicle side panel through the gap between the mounting bracket 403 and the outer side panel 2 and the mounting through hole 201 on the outer side panel 2, which is beneficial to improving the sealing of the ladder 1 installation position.

[0088] In specific implementation, the aforementioned sealing gasket 404 can be, for example, a gasket product of model PNG8100 or PNG8302 from Bode Seals. In addition to using such gasket products, it is also possible to use other gasket products with good sealing performance and weather resistance for the sealing gasket 404.

[0089] It is worth noting that, regarding the ladder installation structure of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still based on... Figures 1 to 12 As shown, for example, the ladder 1 can be installed at the rear of the vehicle body by means of the mounting member 5, and structurally, it includes a mounting seat 401 and a mounting bracket 402 disposed between the side pillar 3 and the side outer panel 2 in the vehicle body, and also includes a mounting support 403 disposed on the outside of the side outer panel 2 corresponding to the mounting seat 401.

[0090] The mounting base 401 is cast and fixed to the side column 3 by the mounting bracket 402. The mounting column 4013 is provided with a ladder mounting hole 401a and a bracket connection hole 401b. The mounting piece 5 passes through the mounting through hole 201 on the side outer plate 2 and is fixed in the ladder mounting hole 401a. The mounting bracket 402 is also fixed to the mounting base 401 by the connector 6 passing through the connection through hole 402a on itself and fixed in the bracket connection hole 401b.

[0091] The mounting column 4013 has multiple ladder mounting holes 401a and bracket connection holes 401b. Some of the bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a are coaxially arranged. The mounting column 4013 is provided with a partition structure 4015 that separates the coaxially arranged bracket connection holes 401b and ladder mounting holes 401a.

[0092] In addition, the mounting bracket 402 has a bracket body 4021 and multiple support arms 4022. The mounting base 401 is connected to the bracket body 4021 and one of the support arms 4022. Each support arm 4022 in the mounting bracket 402 is connected to the side column 3, and a cavity Q is formed between the mounting bracket 402 and the side column 3.

[0093] Additionally, the mounting base 401 has a blocking plate 4012 at one end near the outer side panel 2. The blocking plate 4012 is fitted against the inner wall of the outer side panel 2, and sealant is provided between the blocking plate 4012 and the inner wall of the outer side panel 2. Meanwhile, the mounting component 5 passes through the through hole 403a on the mounting support 403, allowing the installed ladder 1 to be supported on the mounting support 403. The end of the mounting support 403 near the outer side panel 2 is also fitted against the outer wall of the outer side panel 2, and a sealing gasket 404 is provided between the mounting support 403 and the outer side panel 2.

[0094] In the preferred embodiment of the above ladder installation structure, the specific settings and arrangements of the mounting base 401, mounting bracket 402, mounting support 403, and sealing gasket 404 can still be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the beneficial effects brought about by the design of the mounting base 401, mounting bracket 402, mounting support 403, and sealing gasket 404 can also be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments.

[0095] Meanwhile, taking the ladder installation structure in the preferred embodiment above as an example, it should be noted that the ladder 1 installed by this ladder installation structure can adopt a conventional structure, and combined with Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as an example, ladder 1 may have vertical bars on both sides and multiple horizontal bars connecting the two vertical bars. To facilitate the installation of ladder 1, a mounting plate may also be connected between the tops of the two vertical bars. The aforementioned mounting component 5 passes through the mounting plate, and the ladder 1 is fixed to the vehicle body as a whole through the mounting plate.

[0096] The ladder installation structure of this embodiment adopts the above design, which can realize the installation of ladder 1 on the vehicle body, especially at the rear of the vehicle body. Furthermore, through the setting of the cast mounting seat 401 and the stamped mounting bracket 402, and by fixing the mounting seat 401 to the side pillar 3, the installation strength of ladder 1 on the vehicle body can be improved, the reliability of ladder 1 in use can be improved, and thus the installation and use quality of ladder 1 on the vehicle can be enhanced.

[0097] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle having a ladder mounting structure as described in the first aspect embodiment above on its body.

[0098] In this embodiment of the vehicle, as mentioned in the first aspect of the embodiment above, the ladder 1 is preferably installed at the rear of the vehicle body through the ladder mounting structure to form a roof-climbing auxiliary structure that can reach the roof directly from the rear of the vehicle.

[0099] In this embodiment, by adopting the above-mentioned ladder installation structure, the ladder 1 can be installed on the vehicle body to assist the user in climbing onto the roof. It can also improve the installation strength of the ladder 1 on the vehicle body and improve the reliability of the ladder 1. This is beneficial to improving the installation quality and usage quality of the ladder 1 on the vehicle, and thus has good practicality.
