Abstract

A vehicle body structure and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle body structure includes a front longitudinal beam, a front compartment crossbeam, and a dash panel. The front longitudinal beam includes a left front longitudinal beam and a right front longitudinal beam that are disposed at an interval in a transverse direction. The front compartment crossbeam is mounted on the left front longitudinal beam and the right front longitudinal beam, and is located in front of the dash panel. A projection area of the front compartment crossbeam on the dash panel in an X direction at least partially covers a projection of a preset area surrounding a pedal center point on the dash panel in the X direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle body structure, comprising:
a front longitudinal beam ( 100 ), a front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ), and a dash panel ( 320 ),
wherein the front longitudinal beam ( 100 ) comprises a left front longitudinal beam and a right front longitudinal beam that are disposed at an interval in a transverse direction, the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) is mounted on the left front longitudinal beam and the right front longitudinal beam, and is located in front of the dash panel ( 320 ), and a projection area of the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) on the dash panel ( 320 ) in an X direction at least partially covers a projection (PA) of a preset area (AA) surrounding a pedal center point (A) on the dash panel ( 320 ) in the X direction.

2. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the preset area (AA) surrounding the pedal center point (A) comprises at least one of the pedal center point (A), a pedal left projection point (A 1 ) 150 mm away from the pedal center point (A) in a transverse direction or a pedal right projection point (A 2 ) 150 mm away from the pedal center point (A) in a transverse direction.

3. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the preset area (AA) surrounding the pedal center point (A) comprises an area covering 150 mm from the pedal center point (A) as the center in a transverse direction.

4. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the preset area (AA) surrounding the pedal center point (A) is at least one of a preset area surrounding a brake pedal center point (A), a preset area surrounding an accelerator pedal center point (A 2 ) or a preset area surrounding a clutch pedal center point (A 1 ).

5. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) is connected to the dash panel ( 320 ).

6. The vehicle body structure according to claim 5 , wherein the front compartment crossbeam is at least partially located right behind a vehicle power apparatus.

7. The vehicle body structure according to claim 5 , wherein the dash panel ( 320 ) is formed with a steering column via ( 322 ), and the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) is disposed in tight contact with the steering column via ( 322 ).

8. The vehicle body structure according to claim 7 , wherein the steering column via ( 322 ) is located above the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ), so that a lower section of a steering column ( 323 ) that passes through the steering column via ( 322 ) is located in front of the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ).

9. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the front longitudinal beam ( 100 ) is provided with a first groove structure that extends in a longitudinal direction and has an upward opening, the first groove structure comprises a first longitudinal beam bottom wall ( 101 ) and a first longitudinal beam side wall ( 102 ), an upper edge at the opening of the first groove structure folds outward to form a first-longitudinal-beam-side-wall flange ( 102 a ), the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) is formed as a second groove structure with an upward opening, an end portion of the second groove structure is at least partially connected to the first longitudinal beam bottom wall ( 101 ) of the first groove structure, an edge at the opening of the second groove structure folds outward to form a first flange ( 220 a ) extending in the transverse direction, the first flange ( 220 a ) is joined to the first-longitudinal-beam-side-wall flange ( 102 a ), an end portion of the first flange ( 220 a ) folds outward to form a second flange ( 220 b ) extending in a vertical direction, the second flange ( 220 b ) is joined to the first longitudinal beam side wall ( 102 ), the end portion of the second groove structure is further formed with a third flange ( 220 c ) extending in the transverse direction, and the third flange ( 220 c ) is joined to the first longitudinal beam bottom wall ( 101 ).

10. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the front longitudinal beam ( 100 ) is formed with, along a wheel envelope, an inward concave portion ( 105 ) for avoiding a wheel, the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) is disposed in the inward concave portion ( 105 ), and a reinforcing plate is connected to a position, corresponding to the inward concave portion ( 105 ), of the inner wall of the front longitudinal beam ( 100 ).

11. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a front crossbeam ( 210 ) disposed behind the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) at an interval, wherein a force transfer structure is connected between the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ) and the front crossbeam ( 210 ).

12. The vehicle body structure according to claim 11 , wherein the front crossbeam ( 210 ) is a vehicle body crossbeam fastened on a lower surface of a floor panel ( 300 ), the floor panel ( 300 ) is located behind the front compartment crossbeam ( 220 ), and a front end of the floor panel ( 300 ) is connected to the dash panel ( 320 ).

13. The vehicle body structure according to claim 11 , wherein the front crossbeam ( 210 ) is a vehicle body crossbeam near a front compartment of a vehicle body, a vehicle body crossbeam mounted near the dash panel ( 320 ), a vehicle body crossbeam mounted near a front end of a sill inner plate, or a vehicle body crossbeam disposed in front of a front seat mounting crossbeam.

14. The vehicle body structure according to claim 11 , wherein the front crossbeam ( 210 ) is a battery pack mounting front crossbeam.

15. A vehicle, comprising the vehicle body structure according to claim 1 .
