Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to a B-pillar structure, a thick plate, an integrated door ring and an automobile.
Background
The safety performance is an important index of the vehicle body performance, especially the requirement on the whole side wall reinforcing plate area of the vehicle is gradually improved in recent years, and more vehicle factories adopt an integrated front door ring structure.
At present, two main flow integral door rings are provided, one is an integral steel plate door ring, the other is a laser splice welding integral door ring, and the two main problems are as follows:
1. the integral steel plate door ring has the same integral thickness; in order to meet the safety strength requirements of different positions, structures such as patch plates, hinge reinforcing plates and the like are required to be added, and waste materials generated by blanking are poor in recycling, so that the weight and cost of a vehicle body are not facilitated.
2. Laser welding an integrated door ring, and discharging the patterns in each area independently; compared with an integral door ring, the safety strength requirements of different positions can be met by adopting different thicknesses through different blanking sheets while saving raw materials; however, because of the process limitation, the number of the segments welded in a splicing way cannot be too large, the thickness variation is limited, and in order to meet the severe safety performance requirement, structures such as patch plates, local reinforcing plates and the like are required to be welded, so that the weight and cost reduction effect of the automobile body is limited.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the application provides a B-pillar structure, which aims to ensure that the vehicle body can realize significant weight and cost reduction while meeting the safety strength; the door ring B column adopts a TRB differential thick plate (Tailor Rolling Blanks, a rolling variable thickness plate and a continuous variable cross section thin plate obtained by a flexible rolling technology), the thickness change is flexible, the thickness requirement of the door ring on different positions of the B column can be accurately met, structural members are saved to the greatest extent, and the obvious weight and cost reduction effect is realized.
The application provides a B column structure, which comprises a TRB differential thick plate, wherein the TRB differential thick plate is divided into A, B, C, D, E and F six sections in the length direction, and the thickness of plates in each section is the same;
taking the center line of the section D as a symmetry axis, wherein the length of the section C is the same as that of the section E, and the length of the section B is the same as that of the section F;
the thickness of the plate in each interval is a fixed value, the thickness value is 1.4mm-2.35mm, and the different arrangement of the thickness of the plate in the interval can reduce the damage of collision deformation to the body of a driver, the safety target can be realized by the thickness of the plate being 1.4-2.35mm, the weight reducing effect is very obvious compared with the scheme of welding a plurality of thick plates, and meanwhile, the cost of a plurality of sets of dies is saved;
the plate unequal thickness transition areas are arranged between every two adjacent areas, the length value of each plate unequal thickness transition area is 90-110 times of the material thickness difference between every two adjacent areas, the strength of each area is distinguished through the arrangement of six areas, the damage of collision deformation to the body of drivers is reduced, the B column shows an inverted S shape after collision, the deformation is reasonably protected in place, and the safety is improved; the material thickness gradient curve is very gentle, and the maximum material thickness difference is 0.35mm, so that the unequal thickness transition zone of the plate in the length direction is much smaller than six equal thickness zones, and the matching stability is facilitated; and the parting lines on two sides of the unequal-thickness transition zone of each plate are consistent with the whole vehicle coordinate system of the B column in the X direction (the length direction of the vehicle body), namely are parallel to the impact line of the side impact barrier of the C-NCAP, so that the strength division during collision is more clear, and the deformation after collision is more reasonable.
The plate non-uniform thickness transition zone comprises a plate non-uniform thickness transition zone A-B, a plate non-uniform thickness transition zone B-C, a plate non-uniform thickness transition zone C-D, a plate non-uniform thickness transition zone D-E and a plate non-uniform thickness transition zone E-F; the length of the plate unequal-thickness transition zone B-C is the same as that of the plate unequal-thickness transition zone E-F, and the length of the plate unequal-thickness transition zone C-D is the same as that of the plate unequal-thickness transition zone D-E.
