Referring to fig. 1-3, the present disclosure provides a carrier assembly 100 of a vehicle 1000. The carrier assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 includes a floor 10, an edge beam 20, and a load-bearing structure 30. The edge beam 20 is arranged at the edge of the floor 10, and the edge beam 20 and the floor 10 enclose a containing cavity. The load bearing structure 30 is disposed at an intermediate position of the floor panel 10, the load bearing structure 30 extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1000.

In this way, in the carrier assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application, the edge beam 20 is disposed at the edge of the floor 10, so that the edge structure of the floor 10 can be reinforced, and meanwhile, the structure of the middle position of the floor 10 can be reinforced by the carrier structure 30 disposed at the middle position of the floor 10, so that the strength of the overall structure of the carrier is improved, and the safety performance of the vehicle 1000 is improved.

Preferably, the floor panel 10 may be made of a carbon fiber material, so that the weight of the floor panel 10 can be reduced to achieve light weight.

Specifically, the side sill 20 may be formed of a structural steel having a high strength and a high stiffness to avoid deformation of the vehicle 1000 due to a conventional collision while ensuring the load carrying capability of the carrier assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000. The edge beam 20 can be firmly connected to the floor 10 by welding or bolting. The side members 20 may include a left side member 21 and a right side member 22, the left side member 21 and the right side member 22 are respectively disposed on two sides of the load-bearing structure 30 and extend along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1000, and it should be noted that the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1000 refers to a length direction (i.e., a left-right direction shown in fig. 1).

When the vehicle 1000 is impacted in the longitudinal direction, the impact force from the impact beam of the vehicle 1000 can be transmitted to the left longitudinal beam 21 and the right longitudinal beam 22, so that the impact force is dispersed to enable the carrier assembly 100 of the whole vehicle 1000 to absorb the impact energy as much as possible, the damage degree of the vehicle 1000 is reduced, and the safety of passengers is effectively protected. And the left longitudinal beam 21 and the right longitudinal beam 22 are arranged at the edge of the floor panel 10, and the edge structure of the floor panel 10 can be reinforced.

The load-bearing structure 30 is one of the main longitudinal load-bearing structures of the framework of the vehicle 1000, and transfers energy from front to back. The load bearing structure 30 may be machined from a hot formed sheet of steel. And in order to meet the requirement of light weight of the whole bearing structure 30, the hot-formed steel plate can be a plate with the thickness of about 1 mm. The load bearing structure 30 may also be made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite. The carrying structure 30 may comprise a flat plate 31 and two side plates 32 respectively disposed at the sides of the flat plate 31, and the carrying structure 30 may be substantially zigzag-shaped. In some embodiments, edge pieces are provided at the bottom of both side plates 32 to increase the contact area of the load bearing structure 30 and the floor panel 10 and thus improve the reliability of the connection between the load bearing structure 30 and the floor panel 10.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the supporting structure 30 includes a protrusion 33 protruding upward, and the protrusion 33 and the floor 10 form a receiving space 34. In this way, the accommodation space 34 formed by the carrying structure 30 and the floor 10 is fully utilized, and the radar, the camera and other devices required by the vehicle 1000 can be stored.

In particular, the protrusion 33 is formed for the load bearing structure 30 in a direction away from the floor panel 10, so that the load bearing structure 30 may form a receiving space 34 with the floor panel 10. The accommodating space 34 may also be used to accommodate components such as a transmission shaft and an exhaust pipe. More specifically, the projection 33 is formed by the flat plate 31 and the two side plates 32 together. In some embodiments, the floor 10 is formed with a cover plate that mates with the receiving space 34. The cover plate can facilitate the insertion and removal of the device stored in the receiving space 34.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the load bearing structure 30 is formed with a mounting slot 35, the mounting slot 35 extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1000. Therefore, the mounting groove 35 can be used as a channel of a plurality of electric appliance wire harnesses to store the wire harnesses, and the problem that the wire harnesses are difficult to check due to faults is avoided.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the wire harness may be fixed to the mounting groove 35 using a positioning clip, and in another embodiment, the wire harness may be adhered to the mounting groove 35 using an adhesive tape. In some embodiments, the flat plate 31 of the supporting structure 30 is formed with a first through hole 36 and a second through hole 37, which are spaced apart from each other, wherein a drain pipe of an air conditioner in the vehicle 1000 can pass through the first through hole 36, and a wiring harness of a radar, a camera, or the like placed in the accommodating space 34 can pass out of the accommodating space 34 to the mounting groove 35 of the supporting structure 30 through the second through hole 37.
