Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive reinforcement plate technology, specifically a combined lightweight high-rigidity automotive reinforcement plate. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry moves towards energy conservation and lightweight design, lightweight design of automotive structural components has become one of the core industry requirements. At the same time, the rigidity and deformation resistance of the vehicle body structure are directly related to the driving safety and stability of the vehicle. Therefore, automotive reinforcement plates must meet the dual requirements of lightweight and high rigidity.

[0003] A current type of reinforcing plate for the left side door of a car (CN201922026378.X) uses a screw nut to move a movable seat into a slot, thus installing the reinforcing plate body inside the door body. Simultaneously, rotating a lever disengages the movable seat from the slot, facilitating the removal of the reinforcing plate body. This simple operation improves installation and disassembly efficiency. However, it has shortcomings. Existing reinforcing plates are mostly made of single steel or aluminum alloy materials. Steel reinforcing plates have sufficient rigidity but are heavy, which is detrimental to vehicle weight reduction and energy efficiency. Aluminum alloy reinforcing plates, while achieving lightweighting, lack rigidity and are prone to deformation during vehicle operation, affecting the vehicle's structural stability. Furthermore, existing reinforcing plates are mostly one-piece molded structures, requiring replacement of the entire plate when damaged, resulting in high maintenance costs. Their fixed structural design makes it difficult to adapt to different vehicle models, installation locations, and dimensions, leading to poor adaptability. Therefore, a combined, lightweight, high-rigidity automotive reinforcing plate is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined lightweight high-rigidity automotive reinforcing plate, comprising an outer protective layer 1, a fixing bolt groove 2, a core bearing layer 3, sound insulation cotton 4, a sealing ring 5, a sealing groove 6, a mounting bolt groove 7, a mounting bolt rod 8, a splicing frame 9, a reinforcing rib layer 10, a splicing groove 11, a thickened protrusion 12, a coating 13, a positioning buckle 14, and honeycomb holes 15. The core bearing layer 3 is attached to the middle of the outer protective layer 1, and the outer protective layer 1 is positioned in a clamping position on the outside of the core bearing layer 3. The outer protective layer 1 is fixedly connected to the core bearing layer 3 by a ring bolt through the mounting bolt groove 7 and the mounting bolt rod 8. The outer protective layer 1 is further secured by the sealing ring 5 and the sealing groove 6. The outer protective layer 1 is connected to the core bearing layer 3 in a snap-fit ​​and sealed manner, allowing for clamping and sealing bolt installation. This ensures stable installation and convenient disassembly and replacement. The outer protective layer 1 is installed in a positioning splicing manner with the reinforcing rib layer 10 via positioning fasteners 14, and the shape of the positioning fasteners 14 matches the hollow shape of the reinforcing rib layer 10. The outer protective layer 1 is made of high-strength resin-based composite material, which provides excellent protective effect and assists in positioning and installation, ensuring stability. A thickened protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the outer protective layer 1, and both the thickened protrusion 12 and the outer side of the outer protective layer 1 are coated with a coating 13. The thickened protrusion 12 and the outer protective layer 1 are integrally formed. Layer 13 is made of epoxy resin, which allows the thickened protrusion 12 to provide auxiliary support and protection, and also provides waterproof and UV-resistant properties. The outer protective layer 1 and the core load-bearing layer 3 have through-cut mounting bolt grooves 7, and mounting bolt rods 8 are inserted into the inner wall of the mounting bolt grooves 7. A sealing ring 5 is protruding and fixedly connected to the inner edge of the outer protective layer 1, and the sealing ring 5 is inserted into a sealing groove 6. The sealing groove 6 is located on the outer edge of the core load-bearing layer 3. A positioning buckle 14 is protruding and fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the outer protective layer 1. Fixing bolt grooves 2 are through-cut at the corners of the core load-bearing layer 3 and the outer protective layer 1, and splicing grooves 11 are formed on the front and rear edges of the core load-bearing layer 3. The inner wall of the groove 11 is connected to the splicing frame 9, and the inner side of the splicing frame 9 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing rib layer 10. The reinforcing rib layer 10 is made of aluminum alloy square mesh material, and the reinforcing rib layer 10 is symmetrically spliced ​​to the core bearing layer 3 through the splicing frame 9 and the splicing groove 11. This allows the reinforcing rib layer 10 to assist in structural reinforcement and facilitate independent splicing, disassembly and replacement. The inner side of the core bearing layer 3 has honeycomb holes 15, and the inner side of the honeycomb holes 15 is filled with sound insulation cotton 4. The sound insulation cotton 4 is filled with the core bearing layer 3 through the honeycomb holes 15, and the honeycomb holes 15 are distributed in a matrix position on the inner wall of the core bearing layer 3. This allows the sound insulation cotton 4 to be matrix filled, resulting in good sound insulation effect.

[0016] Working principle: When using this type of combined lightweight high-rigidity automotive reinforcement plate, firstly, sound insulation cotton 4 is filled into the honeycomb holes 15 on the inner wall of the core load-bearing layer 3. Then, the reinforcing rib layer 10 is assembled with the core load-bearing layer 3 on the front and rear sides through the splicing frame 9 and splicing groove 11. Next, the outer protective layer 1 is positioned and spliced ​​with the reinforcing rib layer 10 through the positioning buckle 14. Then, it is fastened and sealed by the sealing ring 5 and sealing groove 6. Next, the outer protective layer 1 and the core load-bearing layer 3 are fixed with ring bolts through the mounting bolt groove 7 and mounting bolt rod 8. Then, it is installed with the equipment through the fixing bolt groove 2. During use, the outer protective layer 1, the reinforcing rib layer 10 and the thickened protrusion 12 can be used for reinforcement and support. When some parts need to be replaced, they can be disassembled and replaced independently. This is the usage process of this type of combined lightweight high-rigidity automotive reinforcement plate.
