[0007] Furthermore, in the vertical direction of the vehicle, the bottom of the side panel is provided with a guide slope; along the direction away from the outer side panel, the guide slope gradually slopes downward and extends into the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the side panel is provided with a flange, which is arranged circumferentially along the side panel and folds outward toward the outside of the mounting cavity; an expanding adhesive is provided between the flange and the outer side panel, which connects the flange and the outer side panel together.

[0012] Furthermore, the mainboard is provided with hanging holes, and corresponding to the hanging holes, the outer plate of the wheel cover is provided with through holes; the hook of the energy refueling component can pass through the through holes and hook into the hanging holes, and pre-assemble the energy refueling component onto the cover, and / or, The energy refueling assembly includes a charging socket inserted into the mounting port and a charging port box connected to the charging socket and disposed in the mounting cavity. The charging socket is fixed to the motherboard by the mounting part.

[0013] Furthermore, a second sealant is provided between the boss and the outer plate of the wheel cover, and the second sealant is arranged along the circumference of the boss.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The vehicle side structure described in this application, by setting a cover and forming an installation cavity between the cover, the wheel arch outer panel, and the side panel, allows the energy refueling component to be installed within the installation cavity, providing an independent installation space for the energy refueling component and achieving secondary sealing at the energy refueling port, thereby improving the vehicle body's sealing performance. Simultaneously, by having a boss pass through the wheel arch outer panel and forming a drain outlet on the boss, water in the installation cavity can be drained promptly. Furthermore, the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the groove, which helps reduce the risk of water residue and ensures the reliability of the vehicle side structure.

[0015] (2) By setting the cover to include the main plate and the side plate, it is beneficial to improve the sealing between the cover and the outer plate of the wheel cover. Furthermore, setting the boss on the main plate is beneficial to allow the boss to penetrate the outer plate of the wheel cover. At the same time, by setting the mounting part on the main plate, it is beneficial to improve the installation accuracy between the energy refueling component and the cover.

[0016] (3) By placing the guide ramp at the bottom of the side plate and making the guide ramp slope downward away from the side plate, it is beneficial to guide water to collect in the groove through the guide ramp and discharge it from the drain at the bottom of the groove, thereby reducing the risk of water corrosion and improving the durability of the cover structure.

[0017] (4) Setting a flange helps to improve the structural strength of the side panel edge, reduce the risk of side panel deformation, and help to keep the side panel compatible with the outer side panel. In addition, by setting an expansion adhesive between the outer side panel and the flange, the expansion adhesive helps to improve the sealing of the connection between the cover and the outer side panel while ensuring the connection area between the side panel and the outer side panel.

[0018] (5) By welding the main board to the outer wheel cover, the connection strength between the two is guaranteed, and the connection stability of the cover is improved. Furthermore, by setting a first sealant between the main board and the outer wheel cover, the gap between the main board and the outer wheel cover can be filled, which helps to improve the sealing between the outer wheel cover and the cover.

[0019] (6) By setting the second part to be inclined to one side of the outer side panel and setting the boss on the second part, it is beneficial to make the drain outlet close to the energy filling port, so as to facilitate the timely drainage of water. At the same time, by setting the first part to extend along the vertical direction of the whole vehicle, it is beneficial to make the main board and the outer wheel cover have a good fit.

[0020] (7) By aligning the mounting opening with the clearance opening and the mounting hole with the through hole, the installation accuracy between the energy refueling assembly, the housing, and the wheel arch outer plate is improved. Furthermore, relative movement between the energy refueling assembly and the housing is effectively prevented, thus improving connection stability. Simultaneously, using fasteners to fix the energy refueling assembly to the main board and the wheel arch outer plate further enhances the stability of the housing connection to the wheel arch outer plate.

[0021] (8) By setting up hanging holes and through holes, the hooks can be hung in the hanging holes and through holes, which can facilitate the pre-assembly of the energy refueling components, thereby facilitating the pre-positioning of the energy refueling components and making it easier to insert fasteners into the mounting holes, thus reducing the difficulty of installing the energy refueling components.

[0022] By configuring the energy refueling assembly, which includes a charging base and a charging port box, the charging port box enables a first-level sealed connection between the charging base and the outer side panel. Furthermore, the charging base is fixed to the main board via a mounting part, at which point the cover is connected to the outer side panel, forming a second-level seal for the energy refueling assembly.

[0023] (9) The use of a second sealant helps to improve the sealing between the boss and the outer plate of the wheel cover. Furthermore, the use of a second sealant helps to disperse the vibration and impact on the boss, thus further ensuring the structural stability of the boss.

[0024] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle having the side body structure described above.

[0025] The vehicle described in this application, by providing the side structure of the vehicle body as described above, can improve the vehicle body sealing performance. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle body side structure. By providing an energy refueling component 4 at the energy refueling port 1a, the vehicle body side structure can achieve energy replenishment. Through innovative design, the vehicle body side structure can also improve the sealing performance of the energy refueling component 4 on the vehicle body, thereby improving the sealing performance of the vehicle body.

[0034] In related technologies, the energy refueling component 4 is typically positioned corresponding to the energy refueling port 1a and connected to the inner side of the vehicle body. Specifically, the energy refueling port 1a is usually located on the outer side panel 1, and the energy refueling component 4 corresponds to and is connected to the outer side panel 1. However, due to the influence of the body sheet metal and the structure of the energy refueling component 4, a gap may easily exist between the energy refueling component 4 and the outer side panel 1, which can easily allow rainwater or impurities to enter the vehicle interior through this gap, thus hindering the improvement of the vehicle body's sealing performance.

[0035] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the vehicle side structure of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the overall design includes a side panel 1, a wheel cover panel 2 located inside the side panel 1, and a cover 3 located between the wheel cover panel 2 and the side panel 1.

[0036] The inner side of the cover 3 is connected to the outer wheel cover plate 2, and the outer side of the cover 3 is connected to the outer side panel 1. A mounting cavity β is formed between the cover 3, the outer wheel cover plate 2, and the outer side panel 1. The mounting cavity β is used to install the energy refueling component 4. The outer side panel 1 has an energy refueling port 1a that communicates with the mounting cavity β. The cover 3 has a boss 5 that protrudes towards the inside of the vehicle, and a groove 5a that communicates with the mounting cavity β is formed at the boss 5. The boss 5 passes through the outer wheel cover plate 2, and a drain outlet 5b is provided at the bottom of the groove 5a.

[0037] Therefore, by setting up the cover 3 and forming an installation cavity β between the cover 3, the wheel arch outer plate 2, and the side wall outer plate 1, the energy refueling component 4 can be placed in the installation cavity β, which can provide an independent installation space for the energy refueling component 4, so as to achieve secondary sealing at the energy refueling port 1a, thereby helping to improve the vehicle body sealing performance.

[0038] Meanwhile, by having the boss 5 pass through the outer wheel arch plate 2 and having a drain outlet 5b formed on the boss 5, water in the mounting cavity β can be drained in a timely manner. Furthermore, the drain outlet 5b is located at the bottom of the groove 5a, which helps reduce the risk of water residue and helps ensure the reliability of the vehicle body side structure.

[0039] Based on the above overview, to protect the energy refueling component 4, a cover is typically installed at the energy refueling port 1a to seal it and prevent the energy refueling component 4 from being exposed. For details on the specific cover design and its fit with the side panel 1, please refer to relevant technical specifications. It is understood that the energy refueling component 4 can be either a charging component or a refueling component, depending on whether the vehicle is electrically or fuel-powered.

[0040] It is worth noting that, in order to effectively ensure the connection strength and sealing between the cover 3 and the boss 5, in specific implementation, it is preferable to set the cover 3 and the boss 5 as an integral part, for example, it can be formed by stamping a single sheet of material.

[0041] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the housing 3 includes a main plate 301 connected to the outer wheel cover 2, and a side plate 302 arranged circumferentially along the main plate 301. The side plate 302 is connected to the side outer plate 1. A boss 5 is provided on the main plate 301, and a mounting part 6 is provided on the main plate 301 for mounting the energy refueling assembly 4.

[0042] Therefore, by providing the cover 3 with a main board 301 and a side plate 302, the sealing between the cover 3 and the wheel cover outer plate 2 is improved. Furthermore, by having the boss 5 located on the main board 301, it is easier for the boss 5 to penetrate the wheel cover outer plate 2. At the same time, by providing the mounting part 6 on the main board 301, the installation accuracy between the energy refueling component 4 and the cover 3 can be improved.

[0043] Understandably, in order to effectively ensure the connection strength between the motherboard 301 and the side plate 302, the motherboard 301 and the side plate 302 are made as one piece in the specific implementation. This setting can effectively ensure the sealing of the connection between the motherboard 301 and the side plate 302, and also facilitates the design and implementation of the cover 3.

[0044] It is worth noting that the side plate 302 is arranged circumferentially along the main plate 301, so that the overall shell 3 has a bowl-shaped structure. When the energy filling component 4 is installed on the main plate 301 through the mounting part 6, the energy filling component 4 is spaced apart from the boss 5, and the energy filling component 4 is kept at a certain distance from the side plate 302 circumferentially. This arrangement ensures that when the seal between the energy filling component 4 and the outer side plate 1 fails, water entering the mounting cavity β from different positions can be discharged through the drain port 5b.

[0045] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in the vertical direction of the vehicle, the bottom of the side panel 302 is provided with a guide slope 302a. Along the direction away from the outer side panel 1, the guide slope 302a gradually slopes downward and extends into the groove 5a.

[0046] Therefore, by positioning the guide slope 302a at the bottom of the side plate 302 and making the guide slope 302a slope downward in a direction away from the outer side plate 1, it is beneficial to guide water to collect in the groove 5a through the guide slope 302a and discharge it from the drain outlet 5b at the bottom of the groove 5a, thereby reducing the risk of water corrosion and improving the structural durability of the cover 3.

[0047] It is understandable that the guide slope 302a is located at the bottom of the side plate 302 and is gradually inclined downward. Its main purpose is to make the drain outlet 5b located at the lowest point of the cover 3 along the vertical direction of the whole vehicle, so as to effectively prevent water accumulation in the mounting cavity β.

[0048] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the side panel 302 is provided with a flange 3021, which is arranged circumferentially along the side panel 302 and folds outward toward the mounting cavity β. An expansion adhesive 30211 is provided between the flange 3021 and the outer side panel 1, which connects the flange 3021 to the outer side panel 1.

[0049] Therefore, by setting the flange 3021, the edge structural strength of the side panel 302 is improved, the risk of deformation of the side panel 302 is reduced, and the side panel 302 is made more compatible with the outer side panel 1. Furthermore, by setting the expansion adhesive 30211 between the outer side panel 1 and the flange 3021, the expansion adhesive 30211 not only ensures the connection area between the side panel 302 and the outer side panel 1, but also improves the sealing performance of the connection between the cover 3 and the outer side panel 1.

[0050] It is worth noting that expanding adhesive 30211, also known as vehicle body expanding adhesive or structural expanding adhesive, can expand and cure upon heating. During the expansion process, it fills the gap between the flange 3021 and the outer side panel 1, thereby forming a dense structure between them. This helps ensure the sealing of the connection between the flange 3021 and the outer side panel 1, and also forms an adhesive bond between them. For specific implementation, the selection of expanding adhesive 30211 can be found in relevant technical specifications.

[0051] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the main board 301 is welded to the outer plate 2 of the wheel cover, and a first sealant 201 is provided between the two and surrounding the mounting part 6.

[0052] Therefore, by welding the main board 301 to the outer wheel cover 2, the connection strength between the two is guaranteed, and the connection stability of the cover 3 is improved. Furthermore, by providing the first sealant 201 between the main board 301 and the outer wheel cover 2, the gap between the main board 301 and the outer wheel cover 2 can be filled, which helps to improve the sealing between the outer wheel cover 2 and the cover 3.

[0053] It is worth noting that, in specific implementation, as one method of connecting the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2, this embodiment uses spot welding to weld the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2. This arrangement effectively ensures the connection strength between the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2 while also effectively preventing structural deformation of the main board 301 or the wheel cover outer plate 2 caused by welding. Furthermore, based on the spot welding ensuring connection strength, the use of the first sealant 201 not only ensures the sealing between the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2 but also further improves the reliability of the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2. The specific selection of the first sealant 201 can be found in relevant technologies, as long as it achieves the above objectives.

[0054] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the mainboard 301 includes a first part 3011 extending along the vertical direction of the vehicle, and a second part 3012 disposed at the bottom of the first part 3011. The second part 3012 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side panel 1. The mounting part 6 is disposed on the first part 3011, and the boss 5 is disposed on the second part 3012.

[0055] Therefore, by setting the second part 3012 to be inclined towards the side panel 1, and by placing the boss 5 on the second part 3012, it is beneficial to make the drain outlet 5b close to the energy filling port 1a, so as to facilitate timely drainage of water. At the same time, by setting the first part 3011 to extend along the vertical direction of the whole vehicle, it is beneficial to make the main board 301 and the wheel arch panel 2 have a good fit.

[0056] It is worth noting that, in specific implementation, the first part 3011 is set to be a flat plate structure, and the outer wheel cover plate 2 is set to have a flat part that can fit with the first part 3011. This setting can effectively ensure the connection stability of the outer wheel cover plate 2 on the outer wheel cover plate 2.

[0057] It is understandable that by setting the second part 3012 to tilt from top to bottom toward the side outer panel 1, the main board 301 can be set to conform to the outer panel 2 of the wheel cover, while also making the protruding part close to the energy filling port 1a. This setting facilitates the unblocking of the drain port 5b through the energy filling port 1a, thereby ensuring the unobstructed flow of the drain port 5b so that the water can be discharged in a timely manner.

[0058] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figures 7 to 12 As shown, the mounting part 6 includes a mounting opening 6a and a mounting hole 6b on the main board 301. The outer wheel cover plate 2 has a clearance opening 2a corresponding to the mounting opening 6a and a through hole 2b corresponding to the mounting hole 6b. The mounting opening 6a is used for the energy refueling component 4 to pass through, and the mounting hole 6b is used to fix the energy refueling component 4 to the main board 301 and the outer wheel cover plate 2 by fasteners 601.

[0059] Therefore, by aligning the mounting port 6a with the clearance port 2a, and the mounting hole 6b with the through hole 2b, the installation accuracy between the energy refueling assembly 4, the housing 3, and the wheel cover outer plate 2 is improved. Furthermore, relative movement between the energy refueling assembly 4 and the housing 3 is effectively prevented, thus improving connection stability. Simultaneously, using fasteners 601 to fix the energy refueling assembly 4 to the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2 further enhances the stability of the housing 3 connected to the wheel cover outer plate 2.

[0060] It is worth noting that, in specific implementation, based on the motherboard 301 including a first part 3011 and a second part 3012, and the first part 3011 extending along the vertical direction of the entire vehicle and being generally flat, in this embodiment, both the mounting opening 6a and the mounting holes 6b are provided on the first part 3011. This arrangement facilitates the attachment of the energy refueling component 4 to the motherboard 301 and the wheel arch outer plate 2. Specifically, there is one mounting opening 6a for the energy refueling component 4 to pass through. Multiple mounting holes 6b are provided around the mounting opening 6a. In this specific embodiment, four mounting holes 6b are provided, and the four mounting holes 6b are distributed circumferentially along the mounting opening 6a. It is understood that the number of mounting holes 6b can be any number, while the through holes 2b maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the mounting holes 6b.

[0061] It is understandable that the main purpose of fastener 601 is to fix the energy refueling component 4 to the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2. For this purpose, fastener 601 can be a threaded component or a riveted component. In this embodiment, it is preferable to use a self-tapping screw as the fastener 601. This configuration not only secures the energy refueling component 4 to the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2, but also facilitates a sealed connection between the fastener 601 and the main board 301 and the wheel cover outer plate 2. Furthermore, compared to using riveted components, using threaded components such as self-tapping screws also facilitates the design and implementation of fastener 601.

[0062] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the main board 301 has a hanging hole 6c, and corresponding to the hanging hole 6c, the outer plate 2 of the wheel cover has a through hole 2c; the hook 403 of the energy filling component 4 can pass through the through hole 2c and hook into the hanging hole 6c, and pre-assemble the energy filling component 4 onto the cover 3.

[0063] Therefore, by setting up hanging holes 6c and through holes 2c, and by hooking hook 403 into hanging holes 6c and through holes 2c, it is beneficial to pre-assemble the energy refueling component 4, thereby facilitating the pre-positioning of the energy refueling component 4 and making it easier to insert fastener 601 into mounting hole 6b, which helps to reduce the difficulty of installing the energy refueling component 4.

[0064] It is worth noting that, in specific implementations, it is preferable to set the hanging hole 6c and the through hole 2c as elongated holes, and to set the hook 403 as an elongated hook extending along the direction of the hanging hole 6c. This design makes it less likely for the hook 403 to deflect after being hooked into the hanging hole 6c, thus effectively ensuring the fit between the hook 403 and the hanging hole 6c, and improving the reliability of the energy refueling component 4 when pre-assembled on the cover 3. It is understood that, to facilitate a secure hooking of the hook 403 onto the hanging hole 6c, in this embodiment, the hanging hole 6c is located above the mounting opening 6a, and the cross-section of the hook 403 is generally L-shaped. In use, the hook portion of the hook 403 is passed entirely through the hanging hole 6c, and then hooked onto the main board 301 through the hook portion, thus ensuring the ease of hooking the hook 403.

[0065] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figures 10 to 14 As shown, the energy refueling assembly 4 includes a charging base 401 inserted into the mounting port 6a, and a charging port box 402 connected to the charging base 401 and disposed in the mounting cavity β. The charging base 401 is fixed to the main board 301 by the mounting part 6.

[0066] Therefore, by setting the energy refueling component 4 to include a charging base 401 and a charging port box 402, the charging port box 402 can achieve a first-level sealed connection between the charging base 401 and the side outer panel 1. Furthermore, the charging base 401 is fixed to the main board 301 by the mounting part 6. At this time, the cover 3 is connected to the side outer panel 1, which can form a second-level seal for the energy refueling component 4.

[0067] Based on the above overview, it is worth noting that in specific implementation, fasteners 601 are used to fix the charging base 401 to the outer plate 2 of the wheel cover and the main plate 301, so that the charging base 401 is inserted into the mounting port 6a and has a portion extending into the mounting cavity β. The charging port box 402 is connected to the charging base 401. For details on the installation method of the charging port box 402 and the charging base 401, as well as the connection method between the charging port box 402 and the outer plate 1 of the side panel, please refer to the relevant technology.
