A vehicle 2 according to embodiments of the disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the vehicle 2 according to the embodiments of the disclosure includes a body frame and a body frame joint 1.

The body frame has a transverse beam 30 and a longitudinal beam 40. The transverse beam 30 is connected with the longitudinal beam 40. The transverse beam 30 and the longitudinal beam 40 may be made of an aluminum alloy material.

The body frame joint 1 according to the embodiments of the disclosure is first described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the body frame joint 1 according to the embodiments of the disclosure includes a transverse beam connecting plate 10 and a longitudinal beam connecting plate 20.

The transverse beam connecting plate 10 is provided with a first transverse beam mounting member 110 and a second transverse beam mounting member 120. The transverse beam connecting plate 10 is mounted to the transverse beam 30 by the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and the second transverse beam mounting member 120. The longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is connected with the transverse beam connecting plate 10. The longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is provided with a first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 and a second longitudinal beam mounting member 220. The longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is mounted to a longitudinal beam 40 by the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 and the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220.

A central axis of the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and a central axis of the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 are located in a first plane. A central axis of the second transverse beam mounting member 120 and a central axis of the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 are located in a second plane. The first plane and the second plane are disposed in parallel.

For example, the body frame joint 1 is connected with the transverse beam 30 and the longitudinal beam 40, which is L-shaped. The first plane and the second plane are spaced apart from each other along a width direction of the vehicle 2, and are perpendicular to a width direction of the body frame.

In the body frame joint 1 according to the embodiments of the disclosure, the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and the second transverse beam mounting member 120 are disposed on the transverse beam connecting plate 10. The first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 and the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 are disposed on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. In this way, the transverse beam connecting plate 10 can be mounted to the transverse beam 30 by using the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and the second transverse beam mounting member 120, and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 can be mounted to the longitudinal beam 40 by using the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 and the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220. In addition, the first plane in which the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 are located and the second plane in which the second transverse beam mounting member 120 and the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 are located are spaced apart from each other and arranged in parallel. Therefore, the body frame joint 1 and a mounting point of the body frame connect the two planes, so that the stiffness and the strength of the body frame joint 1 are improved, and the torsion resistance is optimized.

The body frame joint 1 according to the embodiments of the disclosure has the advantages such as high connection strength and stiffness, desirable torsion resistance, and the like.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 are disposed perpendicular to each other, and a junction of the transverse beam connecting plate and the longitudinal beam connecting plate is rounded. In this way, the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 are adapted to be connected with right-angle junctions of the transverse beam 30 and the longitudinal beam 40. Since the transition between the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is smooth, the stress concentration can be reduced.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, the first transverse beam mounting member 110 includes a first transverse screw rod 111 and a first transverse collar 112 riveted on the first transverse screw rod 111. The second transverse beam mounting member 120 includes a second transverse screw rod 121 and a second transverse collar 122 riveted on the second transverse screw rod 121. The first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 includes a first longitudinal screw rod 211 and a first longitudinal collar 212 riveted on the first longitudinal screw rod 211. The second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 includes a second longitudinal screw rod 221 and a second longitudinal collar 222 riveted on the second longitudinal screw rod 221.

Further, the transverse beam 30 is configured with a first transverse sliding groove 310 and a second transverse sliding groove 320. The longitudinal beam 40 is configured with a first longitudinal sliding groove 410 and a second longitudinal sliding groove 420. The mating of the structure of double sliding grooves in the transverse beam 30 and the longitudinal beam 40 with a connecting member of the body frame joint 1 improves the stiffness, the strength, and the torsion resistance of the body frame.

The transverse beam connecting plate 10 is provided with a first transverse screw rod hole 113 and a second transverse screw rod hole 123. The first transverse screw rod 111 passes through the first transverse screw rod hole 113 and is slidably mated with the first transverse sliding groove 310. The second transverse screw rod 121 passes through the second transverse screw rod hole 123 and is slidably mated with the second transverse sliding groove 320. The longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is provided with a first longitudinal screw rod hole 213 and a second longitudinal screw rod hole 223. The first longitudinal screw rod 211 passes through the first longitudinal screw rod hole 213 and is slidably mated with the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The second longitudinal screw rod 221 passes through the second longitudinal screw rod hole 223 and is slidably mated with the second longitudinal sliding groove 420.

The parts of the first transverse screw rod 111, the second transverse screw rod 121, the first longitudinal screw rod 211, and the second longitudinal screw rod 221 respectively exposed from the first transverse collar 112, the second transverse collar 122, the first longitudinal collar 212, and the second longitudinal collar 222 are required to be minimized to reduce the operation space and facilitate the designing of interior trim of the vehicle. The first transverse sliding groove 310 and the second transverse sliding groove 320 extend along a length direction of the vehicle 2, and are spaced apart from each other along a width direction of the vehicle 2. The first longitudinal sliding groove 410 and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420 extend in a height direction of the vehicle 2, and are spaced apart from each other along a width direction of the vehicle 2.

In this way, the body frame joint 1 is mounted to the body frame by using sliding grooves, so that the high mounting efficiency is achieved, and drilling is not required during the mounting, ensuring the structural strength. In addition, the bolted connection in related arts is replaced with riveting, so that loosening due to insufficient tightening torque can be avoided, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection. According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, a first transverse gasket 114 between the first transverse screw rod 111 and the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is sleeved on the first transverse screw rod 111. The first transverse gasket 114 is slidably mated with the first transverse sliding groove 310. A second transverse gasket 124 between the second transverse screw rod 121 and the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is sleeved on the second transverse screw rod 121. The second transverse gasket 124 is slidably mated with the second transverse sliding groove 320.

A first longitudinal gasket 214 between the first longitudinal screw rod 211 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is sleeved on the first longitudinal screw rod 211. The first longitudinal gasket 214 is slidably mated with the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. A second longitudinal gasket 224 between the second longitudinal screw rod 221 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is sleeved on the second longitudinal screw rod 221. The second longitudinal gasket 224 is slidably mated with the second longitudinal sliding groove 420.

For example, the first transverse gasket 114, the first longitudinal gasket 214, the second transverse gasket 124, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 each may be a metal sheet such as an aluminum alloy sheet. The first transverse gasket, the first longitudinal gasket, the second transverse gasket, and the second longitudinal gasket each may be provided with a through hole on a center line for mounting the first transverse screw rod 111, the first longitudinal screw rod 211, the second transverse screw rod 121, and the second longitudinal screw rod 221. Sizes of the through holes may be increased or decreased according to actual conditions. After the mounting is finished, the first transverse gasket 114, the first longitudinal gasket 214, the second transverse gasket 124, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 are respectively attached to bottoms of the first transverse sliding groove 310, the first longitudinal sliding groove 410, the second transverse sliding groove 320, and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420.

The first transverse gasket 114, the first longitudinal gasket 214, the second transverse gasket 124, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 adopt the metal sheet, so that the weight of the vehicle can be effectively reduced. In addition, when the transverse beam 30 and the longitudinal beam 40 are stressed, loads are applied to contact surfaces of the first transverse gasket 114, the first longitudinal gasket 214, the second transverse gasket 124, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 with the first transverse sliding groove 310, the first longitudinal sliding groove 410, the second transverse sliding groove 320, and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420. Therefore, the stress concentration of the first transverse sliding groove 310, the first longitudinal sliding groove 410, the second transverse sliding groove 320, and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420 can be reduced, so that the requirements for the strength and deformation of the body frame can be satisfied.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, an inner side surface of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and an inner side surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 are provided with a first inner rib 50. The first inner rib 50 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is connected with the first inner rib 50 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 by a first corner rib 510 provided at a junction of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. The inner side surface of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the inner side surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 are further provided with a second inner rib 60. The second inner rib 60 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is connected with the second inner rib 60 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 by a second corner rib 610 provided at the junction of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. The inner side surface of the transverse beam connecting plate is a surface of the transverse beam connecting plate facing the transverse beam. The inner side surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate is a surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate facing the longitudinal beam.

Specifically, a thickness of the first corner rib 510 is greater than a thickness of the first inner rib 50, and a thickness of the second corner rib 610 is greater than a thickness of the second inner rib 60.

For example, the first inner rib 50 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10, the first inner rib 50 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20, and the first corner rib 510 may be located in the first plane. The second inner rib 60 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10, the second inner rib 60 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20, and the second corner rib 610 may be located in the second plane.

In this way, by means of the arrangement of the first inner rib 50, the second inner rib 60, the first corner rib 510, and the second corner rib 610, the body frame joint 1 has a compact structure, high structural strength, good connection strength, and high durability.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, the first transverse screw rod hole 111 is configured extending through the first inner rib 50 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10. The first inner rib 50 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is mated with the first transverse sliding groove 310. The first longitudinal screw rod hole 211 is configured extending through the first inner rib 50 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. The first inner rib 50 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is mated with the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The first corner rib 510 is mated with a junction of the first transverse sliding groove 310 and the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The second transverse screw rod hole 123 is configured extending through the second inner rib 60 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10. The second inner rib 60 on the transverse beam connecting plate 10 is mated with the second transverse sliding groove 320. The second longitudinal screw rod hole 221 is configured extending through the second inner rib 60 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. The second inner rib 60 on the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is mated with the second longitudinal sliding groove 420. The second corner rib 610 is mated with the junction of the second transverse sliding groove 310 and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420.

For example, the thickness of the first inner rib 50 is less than a wall thickness of a mounting surface of the first transverse sliding groove 310 and a wall thickness of a mounting surface of the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The thickness of the second inner rib 60 is less than a wall thickness of a mounting surface of the second transverse sliding groove 320 and a wall thickness of a mounting surface of the second longitudinal sliding groove 420. In this way, the first transverse gasket 114, the second transverse gasket 124, the first longitudinal gasket 214, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 respectively come into contact with the first transverse sliding groove 310, the first longitudinal sliding groove 410, the second transverse sliding groove 320, and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420 without coming into contact with the body frame joint 1 during the riveting, so as to avoid looseness of the riveting. The first corner rib 510 and the second corner rib 610 are disposed at positions that do not affect the mounting of the first transverse gasket 114, the second transverse gasket 124, the first longitudinal gasket 214, and the second longitudinal gasket 224, thereby improving the stiffness of the body frame joint 1.

In this way, not only the connection strength between the body frame joint 1 and the body frame but also the structural strength of the body frame joint 1 are improved. The first corner rib 510 is inserted into the first transverse sliding groove 310 and the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The second corner rib 610 is inserted into the second transverse sliding groove 320 and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420. In this way, the body frame joint 1 is constrained, thereby improving the torsion resistance of the body frame joint 1. The first inner rib 50 is inserted into the first transverse sliding groove 310 and the first longitudinal sliding groove 410. The second inner rib 60 is inserted into the second transverse sliding groove 320 and the second longitudinal sliding groove 420. In this way, the body frame joint 1, the transverse beam 30, and the longitudinal beam 40 jointly resist the deformation, thereby improving the entire stiffness of the vehicle 2.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, an outer side surface of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and an outer side surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 are provided with an outer rib 70 provided at the junction of the transverse beam connecting plate and the longitudinal beam connecting plate, and the outer rib is rounded. The outer side surface of the transverse beam connecting plate is a surface of the transverse beam connecting plate away from the transverse beam. The outer side surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate is a surface of the longitudinal beam connecting plate away from the longitudinal beam.

In other words, the outer rib 70 connects the transverse beam connecting plate 10 to the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. The part where the outer rib 70 is connected with the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 is rounded. Therefore, the connection transition is smooth, and a fillet radius is maximized to reduce the concentration of stress at the junction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, a plurality of outer ribs 70 are provided and arranged spaced apart from each other along a width direction of the transverse beam connecting plate 10 and the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20. For example, two outer ribs 70 are provided and respectively disposed on two side edges of the body frame joint 1.

In this way, the structural strength, the durability, and the torsion resistance of the body frame joint 1 are improved, and the concentration of stress at corner positions of the body frame joint 1 is reduced.

According to some specific embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the first transverse beam mounting member 110 is closer to the longitudinal beam connecting plate 20 than the second transverse beam mounting member 120. The second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 is closer to the transverse beam connecting plate 10 than the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210. Therefore, the first transverse beam mounting member 110 and the second transverse beam mounting member 120 may be staggered, and the second longitudinal beam mounting member 220 and the first longitudinal beam mounting member 210 may be staggered. In this way, by using different riveting orders, a smaller size of the body frame joint 1 can be realized, the interior trim design of the vehicle 2 is conveniently achieved, and the space required for the mounting and the mounting time are reduced.

A process of connecting the body frame joint 1 to the body frame is described below.

First, the first transverse gasket 114 is sleeved in the first transverse screw rod 111, the first longitudinal gasket 214 is sleeved in the first longitudinal screw rod 211, the second transverse gasket 124 is sleeved in the second transverse screw rod 121, and the second longitudinal gasket 224 is sleeved in the second longitudinal screw rod 221.
