The left wheelhouse pillar is a reinforcement for the left wheelhouse 231. Thus, when the left wheelhouse 231 collides, the impact force is transmitted through the left wheelhouse pillar to the fourth annular force transmission frame R4, which then dissipates from the fourth annular force transmission frame R4 to the first annular force transmission frame R1, the second annular force transmission frame R2, and the first annular force transmission frame R3. This evenly distributes the force across the entire rear of the vehicle body, preventing excessive intrusion into the passenger compartment. The right wheelhouse pillar 332 is a reinforcement for the left wheelhouse 331. Thus, when the right wheelhouse 331 collides, the impact force is transmitted through the right wheelhouse pillar 332 to the fourth annular force transmission frame R4, which then dissipates from the fourth annular force transmission frame R4 to the first annular force transmission frame R1, the second annular force transmission frame R2, and the first annular force transmission frame R3. This evenly distributes the force across the entire rear of the vehicle body, preventing excessive intrusion into the passenger compartment.

The second connector 53 is connected between the right end of the floor cross member body 51 and the lower end of the right wheelhouse column 332. This increases the connection area between the floor cross member 5 and the left wheelhouse assembly 23 and the connection area between the floor cross member 5 and the right wheelhouse assembly 33, thereby increasing the connection strength between the floor cross member 5 and the left and right wheelhouse assemblies 23 and 33.

The front衣帽架 crossmember 42 is arranged behind the front side plate 411 of the衣帽架 main body 41 to avoid occupying the space of the occupant compartment.

[0059] Of course, in some embodiments, the front side plate 411 and the first top plate 412 may also be part of the front衣帽架 crossmember 42.

[0060] The rear vehicle body structure of the embodiment of the present application, the left side frame 2, the right side frame 3, the clothes rack 4, and the cross beam 5 on the floor are assembled into a vehicle body frame sub-assembly through welding, screwing, structural adhesive and other connection methods. This vehicle body frame sub-assembly is then assembled with the rear cross beam 1 and the front cross beam 6 of the top cover through welding and screwing to form the rear vehicle body structure.

[0061] The rear vehicle body structure of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG1 , has seven node points on the left side frame, namely, the first node P1, the second node P2, the third node P3, the fourth node P4, the fifth node P5, and the sixth node P7. The first node P1 is the connection point between the left side first column 21 and the left upper side rail 24, the second node P2 is the connection point between the left side first column 21 and the first longitudinal beam 26, the third node P3 is the connection point between the rear floor crossbeam and the left wheelhouse assembly 23, the fourth node P4 is the connection point between the roof rear crossbeam 1 and the left upper side rail 24, the fifth node P5 is the connection point between the left side second column 22 and the second longitudinal beam 26, the sixth node P6 is the connection point between the coat rack front crossbeam 42 and the right side second column 22, and the seventh node P7 is the connection point between the coat rack rear crossbeam 43 and the left upper side rail 24. The right side frame 3 also has seven node points, and the seven nodes on the right side frame 3 are arranged symmetrically with the seven nodes on the left side frame 2.

[0062] Welded joints are used at each node to strengthen the entire rear body structure and enhance its overall structural stability. A joint is a process where two components are welded together, either by lap welding or nested welding, with the corresponding beam having an internal cavity (force-transmitting cavity).

[0063] In the rear structure of the vehicle body of the embodiment of the present application, the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the second annular force transmission frame R2 intersect at the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack (the rear crossbeam 43 of the coat rack is a common component of the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the second annular force transmission frame R2), the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the third annular force transmission frame R3 intersect at the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover (the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover is a common component of the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the third annular force transmission frame R3), the second annular force transmission frame R2, the third annular force transmission frame R3 and the fourth annular force transmission frame R1 intersect at the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover (the rear crossbeam 1 of the top cover is a common component of the first annular force transmission frame R1 and the third annular force transmission frame R3). The force transmission frame R4 intersects with the front cross beam 42 of the coat rack (the front cross beam 42 of the coat rack is a common component of the second annular force transmission frame R2, the third annular force transmission frame R3, and the fourth annular force transmission frame R4). All the annular force transmission frames are connected to each other to form a rear vehicle body structure with a continuous transmission path of multiple annular force transmission frames, which greatly improves the bending, torsional stiffness and modal of the entire vehicle, can fully decompose and absorb the excitation generated by the rear shock absorber, effectively reduce the noise and vibration of the rear vehicle body, improve ride comfort, and quickly respond to the chassis's handling stability.

[0064] Based on simulation analysis, a vehicle adopting the rear body structure of the embodiment of the present application has significantly improved bending stiffness, torsional stiffness and modal properties compared to a vehicle of the same level. The torsional stiffness reaches 25,600 Nm / °, with a performance improvement of 25%, a bending stiffness performance improvement of 20%, a NVH performance improvement of 50%, a modal improvement of 10%, a subframe mounting point stiffness improvement of 20%, a body weight reduction of approximately 10 kg, and a cost saving of approximately RMB 200.

[0065] In addition, in terms of safety, with only two front and rear roof crossbeams (front roof crossbeam 6 and rear roof crossbeam 1), it can meet the CIASI requirements of excellent (G) for top pressure, side impact, and small offset impact performance.

[0066] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the rear vehicle body structure of the above embodiment.

[0067] In one embodiment, the vehicle is a car, in particular a car with a large-sized panoramic sunroof.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
