[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention provides a mounting structure for a tailgate decorative strip and a taillight, which can solve the problems in the related art that the decorative bright strip will undergo significant deformation after electroplating, will warp after assembly, and that the thin sheet structure has significant restrictions on the shape and has no sense of depth.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a mounting structure of a tailgate trim and a taillight provided by an embodiment of the present invention may include: a taillight housing 1; and a tailgate trim 2, wherein the tailgate trim 2 includes: a trim skeleton 21, wherein the trim skeleton 21 may be snapped onto the taillight housing 1 via a first buckle 3, and the trim skeleton 21 may be fastened to the taillight housing 1 via a first screw 4, wherein the first buckle 3 and the first screw 4 are spaced apart, the trim skeleton 21 may be fastened to the taillight housing 1 via both the first screw 4 and the first buckle 3, and the first screw 4 and the first buckle 3 may be released in different ways, and using the two fixing ways simultaneously may enhance the connection reliability between the trim skeleton 21 and the taillight housing 1; and a bright strip 22, wherein the bright strip 22 may be snapped onto the trim skeleton 21 via a second buckle 5, and the bright strip 22 may be fastened to the trim skeleton 21 via a second screw 6, and wherein the second buckle 5 and the second screw 6 are spaced apart.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the tailgate decorative strip 2 includes a decorative strip skeleton 21 and a bright strip 22 which are separately provided, the bright strip 22 and the decorative strip skeleton 21 do not affect each other during processing and forming. Since the bright strip 22 needs to be made into an electroplated part with a modeling effect, the bright strip 22 can be made into a thin sheet structure as much as possible to reduce deformation after electroplating. Under the premise of not affecting the modeling style, the smaller deformation can ensure that the gap surface difference after assembly with the taillight housing 1 meets the DTS (gap surface difference) requirements of the whole vehicle. The decorative strip skeleton 21 is not limited by the cross-sectional size of the bright strip 22 and can be made thicker than the bright strip 22 to enhance the structural strength and the sense of depth, play the role of a skeleton, and support and fix the bright strip 22. The decorative strip skeleton 21 can be directly installed to the taillight housing 1 through the first buckle 3 and the first screw 4, and the bright strip 22 can be directly installed to the decorative strip skeleton 21 through the second buckle 5 and the second screw 6, without the need for bonding and setting a special mounting bracket, the connection reliability is strong, and the cost of the whole vehicle can be reduced.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the first clip 3 may include a rod 31 and elastic clamping arms 32 arranged at opposite ends of the rod 31, and the elastic clamping arms 32 extend obliquely relative to the rod 31, wherein one elastic clamping arm 32 may be provided at each end of the rod 31, and two or more elastic clamping arms 32 may also be provided. In the present embodiment, two elastic clamping arms 32 are preferably provided at each end of the rod 31 so that the force on both sides of the first clip 3 is uniform; the taillight housing 1 may have a stopping arm 11, and the stopping arm 11 stops at the inner side of the elastic clamping arm 32 at one end of the rod 31, wherein a through-opening may be formed on the inner side of the stopping arm 11, and one end of the rod 31 may pass through the through-opening, so that the elastic clamping arm 32 passes through the through-opening and is clamped on the outer side of the stopping arm 11, thereby preventing the elastic clamping arm 32 from detaching from the taillight housing 1.

[0043] The decorative strip skeleton 21 may include a main body 211 and a first clamping portion 212 protruding from the main body 211 toward the inner side of the main body 211, wherein the first clamping portion 212 extends obliquely relative to the rod 31, wherein the angle between the first clamping portion 212 and the rod 31 may be an acute angle, and the end of the first clamping portion 212 away from the main body 211 forms a first clamping interface, and the first clamping interface is clamped to the elastic clamping arm 32 at the other end of the rod 31, that is, the other end of the rod 31 will pass through the first clamping interface and enter the first clamping portion 212, and at the same time, the elastic clamping arm 32 at the other end of the rod 31 will also enter the first clamping portion 212, so that the elastic clamping arm 32 is clamped at the first clamping interface to prevent the elastic clamping arm 32 from detaching from the first clamping portion 212. In this embodiment, since the first clamping portion 212 extends obliquely relative to the rod 31, when the first clamping portion 212 is subjected to force and moves in a direction to disengage from the first buckle 3, the total force along the first clamping portion 212 can be decomposed into a component force along the direction of the rod 31 and a component force perpendicular to the rod 31. The magnitude of the component force along the direction of the rod 31 is smaller than the magnitude of the total force, so the elastic clamping arm 32 can withstand a larger total force acting on the first clamping portion 212.

[0044] For further information, see Figure 5As shown, the taillight housing 1 may have a through hole 12; the decorative strip skeleton 21 includes a main body 211 and a mounting portion 213 protruding from the main body 211 toward the inner side of the main body 211, the mounting portion 213 extends obliquely relative to the axis of the through hole 12, so that the mounting portion 213 can have a certain elasticity, and a first mounting hole is provided at one end of the mounting portion 213 away from the main body 211; the first screw 4 passes through the first mounting hole and the through hole 12, so that the decorative strip skeleton 21 is installed on the taillight housing 1, wherein the first mounting hole and the through hole 12 can be a light hole or a threaded hole, and when the first mounting hole and the through hole 12 are light holes, a nut can be provided on the inner side of the taillight housing 1 to connect with the first screw 4. In this embodiment, the obliquely extending mounting portion 213 has elasticity, can adapt to a certain deformation, and reduce the risk of the mounting portion 213 breaking.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the first clip 3 may also include a baffle 33, which is perpendicular to the rod 31 and is stopped at the outer side of the taillight housing 1. In this embodiment, the baffle 33 is located on the outer side of the taillight housing 1, and the elastic clamping arm 32 is clamped on the inner side of the taillight housing 1, so that the baffle 33 and the elastic clamping arm 32 are clamped on the opposite sides of the taillight housing 1, so that the first clip 3 is fixed to the taillight housing 1 more firmly.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figures 6 to 8As shown, the taillight housing 1 may include a taillight mask 13 and a taillight housing 14 connected to each other, the taillight mask 13 has a recessed portion 131, that is, the recessed portion 131 may be formed by being recessed inward from the outer surface of the taillight mask 13, and no openings or screws may be provided on the taillight mask 13. In this embodiment, the taillight mask 13 is preferably set to PMMA material (that is, polymethyl methacrylate material), which is brittle and cannot be perforated, and a recessed portion 131 may be provided. Of course, in other embodiments, the taillight mask 13 may be provided to the taillight housing 14. The cover 13 may also be made of other materials; along the width direction of the vehicle, the decorative strip skeleton 21 may be divided into a middle area and two side areas, the first clip 3 and the first screw 4 are distributed in the middle area and may be fixed to the taillight housing 14, and the two side areas of the decorative strip skeleton 21 may be snapped to the recessed portion 131 by metal clips 7, wherein the metal clip 7 may be a barbed structure, so that the barbs are supported on the inner wall of the recessed portion 131, thereby fixing the two sides of the decorative strip skeleton 21 to the taillight mask 13. In this embodiment, the decorative strip skeleton 21 "rides" on the taillight housing 1, and is connected to the taillight mask 13 by arranging metal clips 7 on both sides, so that the taillight mask 13 can be made of a material that is relatively brittle and difficult to open holes, and can achieve effective and reliable connection between the decorative strip skeleton 21 and the taillight housing 1. Of course, the connection method of this embodiment may also be used for taillight masks 13 made of other materials.

[0047] For further information, see Figure 6As shown, the metal buckle 7 may include a frame 71, which is inserted into the recessed portion 131. The frame 71 may have a cavity, which may penetrate the surface of the frame 71. The frame 71 is provided with a rotating shaft 72, wherein the rotating shaft 72 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 72 relative to the frame 71. A latch tooth 73 is fixed on the rotating shaft 72, and the latch tooth 73 is located in the cavity. When the rotating shaft 72 is rotated, the latch tooth 73 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 72 together with the rotating shaft 72, so that the latch tooth 73 rotates to an open or closed state. When the latch 73 is rotated to a closed state, the latch 73 may not contact the inner wall of the recessed portion 131, or may contact the inner wall of the recessed portion 131 but have almost no interaction force. When the latch 73 is rotated to an open state, the latch 73 is pressed against the inner wall of the recessed portion 131, and the latch 73 and the recessed portion 131 interfere with each other, so that the metal buckle 7 is clamped in the recessed portion 131, thereby fixing the decorative strip frame 21 and the taillight mask 13. In this embodiment, two states of the latch tooth 73 can be achieved by rotating the rotating shaft 72, which facilitates the assembly of the metal buckle 7 into the recessed portion 131 or removal from the recessed portion 131. That is, when the recessed portion 131 is in a closed state, the frame 71 can be easily inserted into the recessed portion 131 or removed. When the frame 71 is installed to a suitable position, the latch tooth 73 can be driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 72, so that the latch tooth 73 rotates to the open state, thereby achieving the clamping and fixation of the latch tooth 73 and the recessed portion 131.

[0048] Preferably, see Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the frame 71 can be provided with at least three rotating shafts 72, and each of the rotating shafts 72 is provided with the latching teeth 73, wherein each rotating shaft 72 can be provided with one latching tooth 73, or multiple latching teeth 73, and the latching teeth 73 on the three rotating shafts 72 form a triangular structure, that is, two of the latching teeth 73 are located on one side of the frame 71, and the other latching tooth 73 is located on the other side of the frame 71, so that the three latching teeth 73 are abutted against the two opposite inner walls of the recessed portion 131, wherein the triangle can be a right triangle or a triangle of other angles. In the present embodiment, an equilateral triangle is preferred. Arranging the three latching teeth 73 as a triangular structure can make the entire metal buckle 7 and the recessed portion 131 fixed more firmly.

In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the driving wheel 75, the driven wheel 76 and the output gear 77, the synchronous rotation of the three rotating shafts 72 can be achieved by driving the rotation of one driving wheel 75, which is conducive to improving the convenience of operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 72 can also be driven to rotate by hand or other hydraulic mechanisms.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the bright strip 22 may include a first plate 221 and a second plate 222 connected to each other, and an angle is formed between the first plate 221 and the second plate 222, wherein the angle may be an acute angle, an obtuse angle or a right angle, and the first plate 221 may extend obliquely upward and toward the direction close to the taillight housing 1 from the connection with the second plate 222, and the upper end of the first plate 221 may be crimped to the taillight mask 13 of the taillight housing 1 through foam, and a mounting cap 223 may be fixedly provided on the inner side of the second plate 222, and a threaded hole may be provided in the mounting cap 223; the decorative strip skeleton 21 is provided with a second mounting hole 214, and the second screw 6 may pass through the second mounting hole 214 and be inserted into the mounting cap 223, and be threadedly connected with the mounting cap 223.
