[0001] The invention relates to the field of vehicle decorative parts, and in particular to a decorative panel with a clamping structure, a cab assembly and a car. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development of the automobile industry and the increasing pursuit of vehicle appearance quality by users, plastic parts that are easy to shape are often used in automobile design as vehicle appearance decoration parts, such as engine hood, side roof decorative strips, camera or radar cover, rearview mirror cover, etc.

[0003] In the related art, in addition to the appearance quality of decorative parts, the assembly processability and manufacturing cost of decorative parts also need to be considered. In order to facilitate the installation of decorative parts, they are often installed by snap-on snap-on. In normal use, snap-on assembly is achieved by setting an integrally formed plastic snap-on part on the decorative panel. However, in order to ensure the strength of the plastic product and the strength of the corresponding mold, there is a limit on the length of the integrally formed plastic snap-on part. In order to achieve the snap-on effect with a longer assembly gap, a metal snap-on part with better strength is sometimes set on the plastic decorative panel as a structure for snapping the decorative panel.

[0004] However, currently, metal clamping bodies are usually installed on plastic parts by pre-embedded clamping parts or by installing complex structures on the clamping parts. The process of pre-embedded metal clamping parts is complicated and the manufacturing accuracy is difficult to guarantee; and the complex installation mechanism on the metal clamping parts will increase the manufacturing cost of the metal clamping parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention provide a decorative panel, a cab assembly and a car with a clip-on structure, so as to solve the problem of difficulty in fixing metal clips on the decorative panel in the related art.

The decorative plate body made of plastic can facilitate the shaping of the decorative plate body to meet the decorative needs in different scenes. Compared with metal, plastic shaping is simpler and can form more complex shapes. The metal clamping piece is installed on the mounting column of the decorative plate body. Compared with the plastic clamping piece, the metal clamping piece can be made longer to meet the larger assembly gap, and the strength of the metal clamping piece will be better and the service life will be longer. The mounting structure of the metal clip is a positioning plate with mounting holes. Compared with mounting columns or mounting clamps, the mounting structure of the metal clip is greatly simplified, the cost of the metal clip is reduced, and the volume of the metal clip is reduced, so that the decorative panel can be used in a smaller installation space.

[0007] In some embodiments, the metal clamping member includes elastic claws circumferentially spaced and distributed outside the positioning plate; a sealing gasket is provided on the outer sleeve of the metal clamping member, and the sealing gasket is clamped tightly outside the elastic claws.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic claw includes a first guide portion and a second guide portion; one end of the first guide portion is connected to the positioning plate, and the other end is connected to the second guide portion, the first guide portion extends from one end of the positioning plate toward the decorative panel body, and the first guide portion gradually expands outward away from the mounting column in a direction away from the positioning plate; the second guide portion gradually extends inward toward the mounting column in a direction away from the positioning plate; the sealing gasket is tightened outside the second guide portion.

[0009] In some embodiments, the decorative plate body is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the positioning protrusion and the mounting column are located on the same side of the decorative plate body; the second guide portion holds the sealing gasket against the positioning protrusion.

[0010] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is connected to a side of the second guide portion away from the first guide portion, and the limiting portion gradually expands outward in a direction away from the positioning plate. The limiting portion and the second guide portion form a limiting groove; when the metal clip is removed from the decorative panel body, the sealing gasket is located at the limiting groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, a circle of sound-absorbing strips is provided on the edge of the decorative panel body, the sound-absorbing strips and the metal clips are located on the same side of the decorative panel body, and the sound-absorbing strips extend around the edge of the decorative panel body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the decorative panel body is provided with a plastic clip, and the plastic clip is integrally formed with the decorative panel body. The metal clip and the plastic clip are arranged on the same side of the decorative panel body. The metal clip and the plastic clip are arranged at intervals at the corners of the decorative panel body, and the outer sides of the plastic clip and the metal clip are surrounded by sound-absorbing strips fixed to the decorative panel body.

[0014] A second aspect provides a cab assembly, which includes: a cab sheet metal and the above-mentioned decorative panel, wherein a metal clip of the decorative panel is clipped to the cab sheet metal.

Since a positioning plate with a mounting hole is provided on the metal clamping part, and the inner diameter of the mounting hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting column, the positioning plate can be attached to the mounting column, and the fastening screw passes through the mounting hole to be threadedly connected with the threaded hole on the mounting column, and the positioning plate can be pressed on the mounting column by the fastening screw. The metal clamping part only needs to be provided with a positioning plate with a mounting hole to meet the fixation of the metal clamping part. The mounting structure of the metal clamping part is relatively simple, which reduces the cost of the metal clamping part. At the same time, the volume of the metal clamping part can be made small, and it is avoided that an excessively large clamping space is reserved at the corresponding clamping part on the vehicle. Since the metal clamping part is fixed by the fastening screw, compared with the embedded metal clamping part, the accurate installation and positioning of the metal clamping part can be achieved by opening the threaded hole, the manufacturing process difficulty of the plastic decorative panel body is reduced, the clamping accuracy is improved, and the metal clamping part can be detachably installed by fixing with the fastening screw, and the service life of the decorative panel can be extended by replacing the metal clamping part. Therefore, the volume of the metal clip can be conveniently reduced, the cost of the metal clip can be reduced, the difficulty of manufacturing the main body of the decorative plate can be reduced, and the service life of the decorative plate can be extended.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention provide a decorative panel, a cab assembly and a car with a clip-on structure, which can solve the problem of difficulty in fixing metal clips on the decorative panel in the related art.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a decorative panel with a clip-on structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention may include: a decorative panel body 1, the decorative panel body 1 is made of plastic, a mounting column 11 is provided on one side of the decorative panel body 1, and a threaded hole 111 is provided on the mounting column 11; a metal clip 2, the metal clip 2 is provided with a positioning plate 21, and the positioning plate 21 is provided with a mounting hole 211, and the inner diameter of the mounting hole 211 is smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting column 11; a fastening screw 3, the fastening screw 3 passes through the mounting hole 211 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 111 to mount the positioning plate 21 outside the mounting column 11.

[0035] The decorative plate body 1 made of plastic can facilitate the shaping of the decorative plate body 1 to meet the decorative needs in different scenes. Compared with metal, plastic shaping is simpler and can form more complex shapes. The metal clip 2 is installed on the mounting column 11 of the decorative plate body 1. Compared with the plastic clip, the metal clip 2 can be made longer to meet the larger assembly gap, and the strength of the metal clip 2 will be better and the service life will be longer. By arranging a positioning plate 21 with a mounting hole 211 on the metal clip 2, when the fastening screw 3 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 111 of the mounting column 11, the positioning plate 21 is installed outside the mounting column 11 by the fastening screw 3. The mounting structure of the metal clip 2 is a positioning plate 21 with a mounting hole 211. Compared with the metal column with a fastening device or the clamped mounting clamp, the mounting structure of the metal clip 2 is greatly simplified, the manufacturing cost of the metal clip 2 is reduced, and the volume of the metal clip 2 is reduced, so that the decorative plate can be used in a narrower installation space. In this embodiment, the positioning plate 21 is installed outside the mounting column 11 by the end protrusion of the fastening screw 3. In other embodiments, a limiting hole can also be set on the positioning plate 21, and the rotation restriction of the metal clip 2 is realized by setting a limiting protrusion inserted into the limiting hole on the fastening screw 3 or the mounting column 11. Since only the positioning plate 21 with the mounting hole 211 needs to be set, the structure of the metal clip 2 is relatively simple. The volume occupancy is also small. It is suitable for clamping in a small space. In this embodiment, the positioning plate 21 of the metal clip 2 is set in the central area of ​​the metal clip 2, and a circle of elastic claws 22 are arranged at intervals on the circumference of the positioning plate 21. The positioning plate 21 not only plays the role of connecting the elastic claws 22, but also plays the role of being installed on the mounting column 11. Compared with setting the positioning plate 21 on the outside of the metal clip 2, the volume of the metal clip 2 is further reduced, which is suitable for use in a small installation space.

[0036] See also Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, in some optional embodiments, the metal clamping member 2 includes elastic claws 22 that are circumferentially spaced and distributed outside the positioning plate 21; the metal clamping member 2 is provided with a sealing gasket 4, and the sealing gasket 4 is clamped outside the elastic claw 22. That is to say, the metal clamping member 2 is clamped on the relevant parts by the elastic claws 22 that are circumferentially spaced and distributed outside the positioning plate 21. In this embodiment, four elastic claws 22 are connected to the circumference of the positioning plate 21. When clamping, the four elastic claws 22 are constrained by the clamping holes of the assembled parts, and the elastic claws 22 are pressed and bent toward the central positioning plate 21, so that the metal clamping member 2 is clamped on the part to be decorated. In this embodiment, the part to be decorated is the cab sheet metal of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the part to be decorated can also be other parts on the vehicle that need to be decorated, such as the engine, camera or radar or rearview mirror. By providing the sealing gasket 4, when the decorative plate is clamped on the part to be decorated, the sealing gasket 4 is sandwiched between the decorative plate body 1 and the part to be decorated, which can eliminate the assembly error and play a certain sealing effect. By clamping the sealing gasket 4 outside the elastic claw 22 and utilizing the elastic force of the elastic claw 22 expanding outward to prevent the sealing gasket 4 from detaching from the elastic claw 22, the risk of the sealing gasket 4 detaching when transporting the decorative panel is reduced, and the steps of installing the sealing gasket 4 are reduced when the decorative panel is installed on the part to be decorated.

[0037] Furthermore, since the sealing gasket 4 is clamped on the elastic claw 22, when the elastic claw 22 is clamped on the part to be decorated, the elastic claw 22 bends inward toward the mounting column 11, and there is a gap between the sealing gasket 4 and the elastic claw 22, so that the position of the sealing gasket 4 can be easily adjusted, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the assembly error of the sealing gasket 4.

[0038] Furthermore, since the sealing gasket 4 is clamped outside the elastic claw 22, the process of installing the sealing gasket 4 during assembly is omitted, so that the assembler can easily install the decorative plate on the part to be decorated by tapping, which greatly reduces the difficulty of assembling the decorative plate.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to limit the sealing gasket 4 from disengaging from the elastic claw 22, the sealing gasket 4 is arranged on the second guide portion 222 at one end of the first guide portion 221 away from the positioning plate 21, and the sealing gasket 4 is limited from disengaging from the metal clip 2 by the second guide portion 222. In other embodiments, a groove body can be provided on the metal clip 2, and the axial movement of the sealing gasket 4 can be limited by the side wall of the groove body to prevent the sealing gasket 4 from disengaging from the metal clip 2.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some optional embodiments, the elastic claw 22 includes a first guide portion 221 and a second guide portion 222; one end of the first guide portion 221 is connected to the positioning plate 21, and the other end is connected to the second guide portion 222; the first guide portion 221 extends from the end of the positioning plate 21 toward the decorative plate body 1, and the first guide portion 221 gradually expands outwards away from the mounting column 11 in the direction away from the positioning plate 21; the second guide portion 222 gradually extends inwards toward the mounting column 11 in the direction away from the positioning plate 21; the sealing gasket 4 is clamped outside the second guide portion 222. By clamping the sealing gasket 4 on the second guide portion 222 close to the mounting column 11 in the direction away from the positioning plate 21, even when the second guide portion 222 expands outwards, the sealing gasket 4 will slide along the inclined surface of the second guide portion 222 toward the decorative plate body 1, thereby preventing the sealing gasket 4 from sliding toward the first guide portion 221 and detaching from the metal clamp 2. The sealing gasket 4 can be clamped on the metal clamp 2. In this embodiment, the second guide portion 222 is connected to a limiting portion 223 on one side away from the first guide portion 221. The limiting portion 223 and the second guide portion 222 form a limiting groove 224. By setting the sealing gasket 4 in the limiting groove 224, the sealing gasket 4 is prevented from moving to both sides. In this embodiment, the first guide portion 221, the second guide portion 222 and the limiting portion 223 are formed by continuously bending the metal sheet, and the manufacturing process is relatively simple. Since the first guide portion 221 gradually expands outward in the direction away from the positioning plate 21, an inclined guiding slope can be formed to facilitate the metal clip 2 to be clipped into the clip hole of the part to be decorated. The second guide portion 222 is used to clip into the clip hole to prevent the metal clip 2 from being detached from the clip hole.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the decorative plate body 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 12, and the positioning protrusion 12 and the mounting column 11 are located on the same side of the decorative plate body 1; the second guide portion 222 holds the sealing gasket 4 against the positioning protrusion 12. In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 4 is first sleeved on the side of the metal clip 2 away from the positioning plate 21, and then the metal clip 2 is installed on the mounting column 11 by the fastening screw 3. During the installation of the metal clip 2, the sealing gasket 4 slides along the inclined surface of the second guide portion 222, so that the sealing gasket 4 is clamped outside the second guide portion 222. During the installation of the metal clip 2 by the fastening screw 3, the metal clip 2 moves closer to the decorative plate body 1, driving the sealing gasket 4 clamped on the second guide portion 222 to move closer to the decorative plate body 1, until the sealing gasket 4 is pressed against the positioning protrusion 12. Keep the sealing gasket 4 fixed. In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 12 is an annular structure. In other embodiments, the positioning protrusion 12 may also be a columnar protrusion spaced around the mounting column 11, and the sealing gasket 4 is positioned by a plurality of columnar protrusions.

[0042] See also Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the positioning protrusion 12 extends around the circumferential direction of the mounting column 11 in an annular shape, and a reinforcing rib 13 is provided between the positioning protrusion 12 and the mounting column 11. In other words, the sealing gasket 4 is positioned by the annular positioning protrusion 12. Compared with the positioning by the protrusions arranged at intervals, the sealing gasket 4 can be supported in the circumferential direction to avoid the sealing gasket 4 from tilting or the partial area of ​​the sealing gasket 4 from bending to reduce the sealing effect. By providing a reinforcing rib 13 between the positioning protrusion 12 and the mounting column 11, the strength of the positioning protrusion 12 and the mounting column 11 is improved. The service life of the decorative panel is extended. In this embodiment, reinforcing ribs are also provided on the back side of the decorative panel body 1, that is, on the side of the decorative panel body 1 where the mounting column 11 is provided, so as to improve the strength of the decorative panel body 1.

[0043] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the edge of the decorative panel body 1 is provided with a circle of muffler strips 5, the muffler strips 5 and the metal clip 2 are located on the same side of the decorative panel body 1, and the muffler strips 5 extend around the edge of the decorative panel body 1. In this embodiment, the muffler strips 5 are rubber buffer strips, and the muffler strips 5 are arranged on the edge of the decorative panel body 1, and the gap formed by the decorative panel body 1 and the cab side wall is filled with the muffler strips 5 to reduce or eliminate the whistle sound generated when the airflow passes through the gap formed by the decorative panel body 1 and the cab side wall during the driving process of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the muffler strips 5 can also be made of sound-absorbing foam or other sound insulation materials. By arranging the muffler strips 5 on the edge of the decorative panel body 1 and around the edge of the decorative panel body 1, a better muffler effect can be produced, and the sound leakage from the gap between the muffler strips due to the muffler strips arranged at intervals can be avoided. In this embodiment, the decorative panel is used for decorating the cab side wall. In other embodiments, the decorative panel can also be used for decorating the wheel hub or other parts to be decorated of the vehicle. Due to the different shapes of different parts to be decorated, when the decorative panel is installed on different parts to be decorated, there will be differences in the gap between the decorative panel and the parts to be decorated. For example, when the decorative panel is installed on the side of the vehicle cab, the gap between the decorative panel body 1 and the side of the cab to be decorated is 8mm. When the decorative panel body 1 is installed on other parts to be decorated, the gap between the decorative panel body 1 and the counterpart to be decorated may be 18mm. In order to adapt to different assembly gaps, the silencing of the decorative panels decorating different parts is often met by connecting silencing strips 5 of different thicknesses to the decorative panel body 1. In this embodiment, the silencing strip 5 will protrude from the end of the metal clip 2. When the metal clip 2 is installed on the corresponding part to be decorated, the silencing strip 5 is in a compressed state, the end face of the sealing gasket 4 is tightly fitted to the part to be decorated, and the silencing strip 5 fills the gap between the part to be decorated and the decorative panel body 1. A better silencing effect is achieved.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sound-absorbing strip 5 is bonded with double-sided tape on one side close to the main body 1 of the decorative panel, and the sound-absorbing strip 5 is bonded to the main body 1 of the decorative panel by the double-sided tape, so as to achieve a close connection between the sound-absorbing strip 5 and the main body 1 of the decorative panel. The gap between the sound-absorbing strip 5 and the main body 1 of the decorative panel is reduced. In other embodiments, the sound-absorbing strip 5 can also be fixed to the main body 1 of the decorative panel by glue, Velcro or snap-on method. In this application, double-sided tape is provided on the sound-absorbing strip 5 to bond it to the main body 1 of the decorative panel, so that no glue will overflow and contaminate the main body 1 of the decorative panel during the bonding process, and the bonding process is convenient, and the connection is tighter than Velcro.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the decorative panel body 1 is provided with a plastic clip 6, the plastic clip 6 is integrally formed with the decorative panel body 1, the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 are arranged on the same side of the decorative panel body 1, the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 are arranged at intervals at the corners of the decorative panel body 1, and the outer sides of the plastic clip 6 and the metal clip 2 are surrounded by a sound-absorbing strip 5 fixed to the decorative panel body 1. That is to say, the decorative panel body 1 is provided with not only a metal clip 2 but also a plastic clip 6. Since the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 are arranged on the same side of the decorative panel body 1, when installing the decorative panel body 1, the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 can be simultaneously driven into the part to be decorated by tapping. Since two different clip structures are provided, the plastic clip 6 is provided at the place where the assembly gap is small, and the metal clip 2 is provided at the place where the assembly gap is large. It can meet the requirements of the clamping assembly at the place with large assembly gap, and will not cause the plastic part to have insufficient strength due to the excessive extension of the plastic clamping part 6. At the same time, it is not necessary to set the relatively more expensive metal clamping part 2 at the place with small assembly gap. The advantages of the two clamping structures are combined to realize the clamping function of the decorative plate body 1.

[0046] By arranging the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 at the corners of the decorative panel body 1 at intervals, the decorative panel can be prevented from warping to a greater extent when it is installed. By arranging the silencer strip 5 around the outside of the plastic clip 6 and the metal clip 2, the whistling sound caused by the gap between the decorative panel and the part to be decorated due to the clip assembly is avoided. In this embodiment, the decorative panel body 1 is a quadrilateral structure.

[0047] See also Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the plastic clip 6 has at least two claws, and the claws of the plastic clip 6 are arranged in a circumferential direction, and an adjustment space is reserved in the center of the plastic clip 6. When the plastic clip 6 is engaged, the claws are bent toward the central adjustment space to achieve the engagement of the plastic clip 6.

[0048] See also Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting bolt 7 is also installed on the main body 1 of the decorative panel, and the mounting bolt 7 is arranged on the side of the main body 1 of the decorative panel where the metal clip 2 is arranged. By opening a through hole that matches the mounting bolt 7 on the part to be decorated, when installing the main body 1 of the decorative panel, first tap the main body 1 of the decorative panel so that the metal clip 2 and the plastic clip 6 on the decorative panel are clipped on the part to be decorated, and the mounting bolt 7 passes through the through hole of the part to be decorated. By installing the nut sleeved on the mounting bolt 7 from the back of the part to be decorated and tightening the nut, the decorative panel and the part to be decorated are tightly connected together. Since the decorative panel is first fixed by clipping, the installer can tighten the bolt independently. Compared with tightening the nut while supporting the decorative panel, the difficulty of installation is greatly reduced without reducing the reliability of the decorative panel installation, so that the installer can complete the installation of the decorative panel independently.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a cab assembly, which includes: a cab sheet metal, and the above-mentioned decorative panel, wherein the metal clip 2 of the decorative panel is clipped to the cab sheet metal. A mounting column 11 is provided on the decorative panel body 1, and the fastening screw 3 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 111 opened on the mounting column 11 to realize the installation of the positioning plate 21 of the metal clip 2 on the mounting column 11. The installation of the metal clip 2 can be realized without setting a complex mounting structure on the metal clip 2. Since the structure of the metal clip 2 is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost will be reduced, and the installation space will be smaller, which can adapt to the clip installation in a small space. Compared with the pre-embedded method of fixing the metal clip 2 to the decorative panel body 1, the difficulty of plastic molding is lower. Since the threaded hole 111 can be opened after the plastic decorative panel body 1 is formed, the installation accuracy of the metal clip 2 will be higher than that of the pre-embedded fixation. The metal clip 2 is clipped to the cab sheet metal to realize the decoration of the cab. Since the metal clamping member 2 is installed by threaded connection with the fastening screw 3 , the metal clamping member 2 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention further provides an automobile, which may include a part to be decorated and the above-mentioned decorative panel, wherein the metal clip 2 of the decorative panel is clipped to the part to be decorated. The metal clip 2 may be clipped to the cab sheet metal of the cab assembly, and the metal clip may also be clipped to the wheel cover, engine hood, camera or other part to be decorated in the automobile, so as to improve the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

[0051] The principles of a decorative panel with a snap-on structure, a cab assembly, and a car provided by an embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

[0052] The decorative plate body 1 made of plastic is used to achieve the modeling requirements of the decorative plate, and the appearance of the vehicle is improved. Compared with metal materials, the decorative plate body 1 made of plastic is easier to achieve complex modeling. By setting the mounting column 11 on the decorative plate body 1, the threaded connection of the fastening screw 3 is met by opening the threaded hole 111 on the mounting column 11. Since the inner diameter of the mounting hole 211 is smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting column 11, when the fastening screw 3 is threadedly connected, the positioning plate 21 is attached to the top surface of the mounting column 11. The fastening screw passes through the mounting hole 211 and is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 111, and the positioning plate 21 can be installed by the cooperation of the fastening screw 3 and the mounting column 11. Since there is no need to set a complex installation positioning structure on the metal clip 2, the installation of the metal clip 2 can be met by the positioning plate 21 provided with the mounting hole 211, which reduces the cost of the metal clip 2. Due to the relatively simple structure, it can be suitable for clamping and fixing in a narrow space.
