Abstract

A vehicle body structure and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle body structure includes two sill inner plates disposed at intervals along a left-right direction, two strengthening longitudinal beams disposed at intervals along the left-right direction, and at least one strengthening crossbeam. Each strengthening longitudinal beam is connected to one corresponding sill inner plate, and each strengthening crossbeam is connected to the two strengthening longitudinal beams.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle body structure, comprising:
two sill inner plates, disposed at intervals along a left-right direction;
two strengthening longitudinal beams, disposed at intervals along the left-right direction;
at least one strengthening crossbeam; and
a floor panel;
wherein each strengthening longitudinal beam is connected to one corresponding sill inner plate, and each strengthening crossbeam is connected to the two strengthening longitudinal beams;
wherein the two sill inner plates are respectively located on a left side and a right side of the floor panel, the strengthening longitudinal beam is disposed above the floor panel, one side of each strengthening longitudinal beam is connected to one corresponding sill inner plate, and the other side is connected to an upper surface of the floor panel.

2. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the strengthening longitudinal beam generally corresponds to a B pillar in a horizontal direction of a vehicle.

3. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein a gap exists between an end portion of each strengthening crossbeam and the corresponding sill inner plate.

4. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one strengthening crossbeam comprises two crossed strengthening crossbeams.

5. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the sill inner plate is formed as a groove-shaped structure opening outward, and comprises an inner plate top wall and an inner plate bottom wall that are disposed opposite to each other, and an inner plate side wall connecting the inner plate top wall and the inner plate bottom wall, wherein the left side and the right side of the floor panel comprise a floor panel flanging, the floor panel flanging comprises a first segment flanging corresponding to the position of the strengthening longitudinal beam, a cross section of the first segment flanging is in an “L” shape, and the first segment flanging is overlapped with the inner plate top wall.

6. The vehicle body structure according to claim 5 , wherein the strengthening longitudinal beam has an inner side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam and an outer side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam, the inner side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam is overlapped with the upper surface of the floor panel, the outer side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam is overlapped with the first segment flanging, and the outer side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam, the first segment flanging, and the inner plate top wall are connected to each other.

7. The vehicle body structure according to claim 6 , wherein an outer edge of the first segment flanging protrudes out of an outer edge of the outer side flanging of the strengthening longitudinal beam.

8. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein a central channel protruding upward is formed on the floor panel, the height of the central channel is less than 50 mm, the central channel comprises a central channel top wall and two central channel side walls, and the at least one strengthening crossbeam comprises two parallel strengthening crossbeams disposed at intervals along a front-rear direction, a front strengthening crossbeam of the two strengthening crossbeams comprises two upper crossbeam segments disposed at intervals and a lower crossbeam segment connecting the two upper crossbeam segments, each upper crossbeam segment is located above the floor panel and connected to one corresponding strengthening longitudinal beam, the lower crossbeam segment is located below the central channel, and each upper crossbeam segment is connected to the corresponding crossbeam side wall and the lower crossbeam segment; and a rear strengthening crossbeam of the two strengthening crossbeams is disposed above the floor panel and across the central channel.

9. The vehicle body structure according to claim 8 , wherein the vehicle body structure further comprises a central channel strengthening beam, the central channel strengthening beam is disposed below the floor panel and corresponds to the position of the rear strengthening crossbeam of the two strengthening crossbeams, and two ends of the central channel strengthening beam are respectively connected to the two central channel side walls.

10. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein a central channel protruding upward is formed on the floor panel, the height of the central channel is less than 50 mm, and each strengthening crossbeam is located above the floor panel and across the central channel.

11. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one strengthening crossbeams is disposed above the floor panel.

12. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein a front end and a rear end of the strengthening longitudinal beam are closed.

13. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein an opening is formed on the strengthening longitudinal beam, an end portion of the strengthening crossbeam passes through the opening to extend into the interior of the strengthening longitudinal beam, an opening flanging is formed at an edge of the opening, and the opening flanging is overlapped with the strengthening crossbeam.

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

15. The vehicle body structure according to claim 2 , wherein a gap exists between an end portion of each strengthening crossbeam and the corresponding sill inner plate.

16. The vehicle body structure according to claim 15 , wherein the at least one strengthening crossbeam comprises two crossed strengthening crossbeams.

17. The vehicle body structure according to claim 16 , wherein the vehicle body structure further comprises a floor panel, the two sill inner plates are respectively located on a left side and a right side of the floor panel, the strengthening longitudinal beam is disposed above the floor panel, one side of each strengthening longitudinal beam is connected to one corresponding sill inner plate, and the other side is connected to an upper surface of the floor panel.

18. The vehicle body structure according to claim 17 , wherein the sill inner plate is formed as a groove-shaped structure opening outward, and comprises an inner plate top wall and an inner plate bottom wall that are disposed opposite to each other, and an inner plate side wall connecting the inner plate top wall and the inner plate bottom wall, wherein the left side and the right side of the floor panel comprise a floor panel flanging, the floor panel flanging comprises a first segment flanging corresponding to the position of the strengthening longitudinal beam, a cross section of the first segment flanging is in an “L” shape, and the first segment flanging is overlapped with the inner plate top wall.
