Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly provides an automobile and a front bracket assembly for a trunk lid of an automobile. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry and the popularization of vehicles, users' requirements for automobiles are getting higher and higher. Taking the storage requirement as an example, users not only pursue a large number and large space of storage spaces, but also pursue diversification and personalization. In mid-to-high-end vehicle models, the flexibly arranged trunk lids are becoming more and more popular among users. This type of trunk lid generally requires an independent front bracket to support it.

[0003] At present, there are mainly two types of front brackets for trunks on the market. One is to use a paper honeycomb board composite material to make the skeleton, and then wrap the fabric after forming. However, the skeleton of this bracket is relatively thick and the process is more cumbersome, which is not conducive to the overall vehicle space layout and production. Moreover, the bracket usually faces the problem of non-matching gaps with surrounding parts after connection; the other is a bracket made of pure plastic. This bracket has the problems that the appearance texture is not unified with the texture of its surrounding parts, and the sheet metal parts are exposed after the lid is lifted, resulting in poor overall visual effects.

[0004] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for a new front bracket assembly to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem of poor visual effect of the space under the trunk lid after the flexibly arranged trunk lid is lifted.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a front bracket assembly for a trunk lid of an automobile. The automobile includes a trunk lid and a lower body cross beam. The front bracket assembly is connected to the lower body cross beam and is used to support the front end of the trunk lid. The front bracket assembly includes: a first bracket, which includes a horizontally extending portion formed by extending in a direction consistent with the extending direction of the lower body cross beam, and the horizontally extending portion is detachably connected to the lower body cross beam; a second bracket, which includes a main body portion detachably connected above the horizontally extending portion and cooperating with the horizontally extending portion to jointly construct a supporting portion for supporting the front end of the trunk lid. Wherein, the first bracket further includes a vertically extending portion facing the trunk lid and formed by extending downward from the edge of the horizontally extending portion, and the vertically extending portion can block at least a part of the lower body cross beam in the front-rear direction.

[0007] In the technical solution of the front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of a vehicle provided by the present invention, a supporting portion for supporting the front end of the trunk lid is jointly constructed by the connection and cooperation of the first bracket and the second bracket. By providing a laterally extending portion detachably connected to the lower body cross beam, the contact area between the first bracket and the lower body cross beam is increased, the connection stability of the bracket is improved, and thus the supporting ability of the front bracket assembly is enhanced. In addition, by providing a vertically extending portion capable of shielding at least a part of the lower body cross beam, when the user lifts the lid, since the lower body cross beam is shielded, what the user sees within the field of view is the first bracket with higher surface quality, thereby improving the overall visual perception of the space below the lid and greatly enhancing the user experience. <No. <No.

[0008] It should be noted that the lower body cross beam refers to the cross beam located at the rear of the middle of the vehicle body, and its extending direction is consistent with the width direction of the vehicle. The laterally extending portion of the first bracket refers to the portion of the first bracket that is flush or approximately flush with the horizontal plane in the installed state, and the extending direction of this laterally extending portion refers to the direction consistent with the width direction of the vehicle, that is, extending in the left-right direction. The vertically extending portion of the first bracket refers to the portion having an angle with the laterally extending portion, and the measurement method of this angle is the angle between the lower surface of the laterally extending portion and the back surface of the vertically extending portion. The vertically extending portion extends downward from the extending direction of the laterally extending portion and includes but is not limited to the vertical direction. The vertically extending portion can be a planar structure or a non-planar structure. <No. <No.

[0009] In some feasible embodiments of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of a vehicle, the second bracket further includes an adjustable portion, and the adjustable portion is movably connected to the side of the main body portion away from the trunk lid, and the angle at the connection position between the adjustable portion and the main body portion is adjustable. <No. <No.

[0010] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the second bracket can adjust the coverage area of the second bracket by flexibly adjusting the angle at the connection position between the adjustable portion and the main body portion, and further eliminate as much as possible the lateral gap between the second bracket and the surrounding parts, making the appearance surface of the assembled front bracket assembly and the surrounding parts smoother and having a better visual effect. <No. <No.

[0011] In some feasible embodiments of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of a vehicle, the second bracket includes a first skeleton layer, and the first skeleton layer includes a first part corresponding to the main body portion and a second part corresponding to the adjustable portion, and the first part and the second part are connected by a thin wall. <No. <No.

[0012] In this way, a more preferable implementation manner is provided in which the included angle at the connection position between the adjustable part and the main body part of the second bracket can be adjusted. By using a thin wall to connect the first part and the second part, it is not only convenient to adjust the included angle between the two, but also convenient for production and processing, and can ensure the reliability of the structural strength between the two.

[0013] In some feasible implementation manners of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, the thin wall is arranged continuously or discontinuously in the extending direction of the main body part.

[0014] It can be understood that when the thin wall is discontinuous in the extending direction of the main body part, the first part and the second part are completely disconnected at the position where the thin wall is not provided. This way can reduce the overall weight of the bracket assembly, but is more suitable for the case where a fabric is coated on the surface of the first skeleton layer, and the fabric is used to cover the fracture structure to ensure the appearance effect.

[0015] In some feasible implementation manners of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, a winding mechanism is further connected to the main body part and the adjustable part. The winding mechanism includes a traction rope wound around a rotating cylinder. The first end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the first part, the second end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the second part, and the rotating cylinder is further connected with an elastic member. The elastic member enables the traction rope to be released or retracted by the rotating cylinder so as to change the included angle between the main body part and the adjustable part.

[0016] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, by connecting a winding mechanism between the first part and the second part, certain assistance and restraint force can be provided when the user adjusts the included angle between the main body part and the adjustable part, which is convenient for the adjustment process and can make the second bracket stably maintain the adjusted state.

[0017] In some feasible implementation manners of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, the second bracket further includes a first fabric layer covering the surfaces of the first part and the second part.

[0018] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the first fabric layer can make the appearance texture of the second bracket consistent with that of other components, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the overall appearance of the trunk.

[0019] In some feasible implementation manners of the above-mentioned front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, the first fabric layer is an integral structure.

[0020] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, it not only ensures that the surface of the front bracket assembly is a whole in terms of visual appearance, but also enables the adjustable part and the main body part to smoothly adjust the included angle through the soft characteristics of the fabric by means of the thin wall.

[0021] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile as described above, the laterally extending portion is formed with a stepped surface, the edge of the main body portion is bent downward to form a bent portion, and the bent portion abuts against the stepped surface and thus constructs the supporting portion. In the state where the installation is completed, the edge of the front end of the trunk lid overlaps on the stepped surface and abuts against the outer side surface of the bent portion.

[0022] In this way, a relatively preferred implementation manner of the supporting portion is provided. By setting it in this way, on the premise of ensuring sufficient supporting force for the trunk lid, the gap between the edge of the trunk lid and the bracket can be minimized as much as possible, avoiding the displacement and shaking of the trunk lid during driving.

[0023] It should be noted that the stepped surface includes a bottom plane, a side wall surface and a top plane, all of which belong to the structure of the first bracket. The bent portion has a certain thickness, and thus forms an outer side surface, a lower end surface and a back surface. In the state where the installation is completed, the lower end surface of the bent portion abuts against the bottom plane of the stepped surface, and the back surface abuts against the side wall surface of the stepped surface, forming a state where the bent portion abuts against the stepped surface. At this time, the bottom plane of the first bracket, the outer side surface of the bent portion and the top plane of the main body portion are combined to form the stepped surface structure on the supporting portion. After installing the trunk lid, the bottom edge of the front end of the trunk lid overlaps on the bottom plane of the stepped surface, and the side edge of the front end of the trunk lid abuts against the outer side surface of the bent portion.

[0024] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile as described above, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged on the back surface of the bent portion at intervals in the direction consistent with the extending direction of the main body portion, and the bent portion abuts against the stepped surface through the plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0025] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the reinforcing ribs can further improve the overall structural strength of the front bracket assembly, and then improve its supporting ability, ensure the front-back direction supporting and limiting of the trunk lid, and at the same time, it is easy to adjust the size and facilitate the size matching between parts.

[0026] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile as described above, the first fabric layer extends to the back surface of the bent portion and covers at least a part of the reinforcing ribs.

[0027] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to ensure the cooperation and positioning of the first bracket and the second bracket in the vehicle height direction, and at the same time make the cutting edge of the fabric of the second bracket invisible, achieving the effect of delicate appearance matching.

[0028] In some feasible embodiments of the above front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, when observed vertically, the middle section of the vertically extending portion is recessed toward the direction where the lower vehicle body cross beam is located.

[0029] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the installation space occupied by the front bracket assembly is further reduced, which is beneficial to increasing the storage space of the trunk.

[0030] In some feasible embodiments of the above front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, the first bracket includes a second skeleton layer corresponding to the transverse extension portion and the vertical extension portion, and the surface and edge of the second skeleton layer are covered with a second fabric layer.

[0031] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the overall appearance effect of the trunk can be further improved.

[0032] It should be noted that the first fabric layer and the first skeleton layer are integrally formed and compounded, and the second fabric layer and the second skeleton layer are integrally formed and compounded, which not only ensures the appearance beauty but also is easy for process production; both the first skeleton layer and the second skeleton layer are thin plate structures with a thickness of 1 to 3 mm, which greatly saves the internal structure layout space of the parts, is beneficial to the freedom of vehicle space layout and design, and also reduces the total weight. The thickness of the thin wall is lower than that of the thin plate and can be 0.5 to 2 mm.

[0033] In addition, the textures of the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer are consistent with the fabric layer of the trunk lid and the appearance texture on the surface of the trunk side trim. When the user opens the trunk lid, the texture in the space area below the trunk lid is consistent with the texture of the trunk side trim, making the texture style of the entire trunk area unified and the overall appearance more coordinated.

[0034] In addition, the above detachable connection includes but is not limited to connection methods such as snap connection and screw connection.

[0035] In some feasible embodiments of the above front bracket assembly for the trunk lid of an automobile, in the installed state, the upper surface of the main body portion is flush with the upper surface of the trunk lid.

[0036] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the overall appearance effect of the trunk can be further improved.

[0037] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile described above, the front bracket assembly further includes a reinforcing member, the reinforcing member is respectively connected to the horizontally extending portion and the vertically extending portion, and the first bracket is detachably connected to the underbody cross member through the reinforcing member.

[0038] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the overall structure of the first bracket is made more stable, and at the same time, the connection between the first bracket and the underbody cross member is further strengthened, improving the overall supporting ability of the bracket, enabling the first bracket, the second bracket and the underbody cross member to be stably connected together, and being able to avoid abnormal noise problems during driving.

[0039] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile described above, the reinforcing member and the horizontally extending portion and the vertically extending portion are formed as an integral structure.

[0040] In this way, a relatively preferred setting form of the reinforcing member is provided.

[0041] In some feasible embodiments of the front bracket assembly of the trunk lid for an automobile described above, the front bracket assembly further includes a connecting bracket, and the first bracket is also detachably connected to the underbody cross member through the connecting bracket.

[0042] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the first bracket and the underbody cross member is made more stable, and the overall supporting ability of the bracket is further improved.

[0043] It should be noted that there can be multiple connecting brackets, and the multiple connecting brackets are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the underbody cross member. The connecting bracket can be a sheet metal bracket.

[0085] The vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a trunk lid, a side trim panel 14, a trunk floor panel 13, a seat back panel, etc., which together enclose a storage space of the vehicle trunk. The trunk floor panel 13 is supported by a front support assembly, a rear support assembly, and a side support assembly. The front support assembly is connected to the underbody cross member 15 and is used to support the front end of the trunk floor panel 13. The underbody cross member 15 is located at a position behind the middle of the vehicle body floor.

[0086] The front support assembly for the trunk floor panel 13 of the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a first bracket 10, which includes a lateral extension portion 101 extending in a direction consistent with the extension direction of the underbody cross member 15. The lateral extension portion 101 is detachably connected to the underbody cross member 15; a second bracket 11, which includes a main body portion 111. The main body portion 111 is detachably connected above the lateral extension portion 101 and, in cooperation with the lateral extension portion 101, jointly constructs a support portion for supporting the front end of the trunk floor panel 13.

[0088] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first bracket 10 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a second skeleton layer 103 and a second fabric layer 104. The second fabric layer 104 is coated on the surface of the second skeleton layer 103 to form an integral structure. On this basis, the first bracket 10 can be divided into a transverse extension portion 101 extending in a direction consistent with the extension direction of the lower body cross beam 15, and a vertical extension portion 102 extending downward from the edge of the transverse extension portion 101 facing the trunk cover 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in FIG, the transverse extension portion 101 and the vertical extension portion 102 make the cross section of the first bracket 10 substantially in the shape of a "factory". The vertical extension portion 102 can shield a part or all of the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0089] The lateral extension portion 101 is formed with a stepped surface, which includes a bottom plane, a side wall surface and a top plane. Figure 2 As shown in FIG, after the second fabric layer 104 covers the lower edge of the second frame layer 103, it extends upward until it covers the bottom plane and sidewalls of the stepped surface. To maximize the storage space of the luggage case, the middle section of the vertical extension portion 102 of the first bracket 10 in this embodiment is recessed toward the direction of the lower body cross member 15.

[0090] The second bracket 11 includes a first skeleton layer 113 and a first fabric layer 115, wherein the first skeleton layer 113 includes a first part 1131 and a second part 1132, the first part 1131 and the second part 1132 are connected by a thin wall 114, and the first fabric layer 115 is covered on the surface of the first part 1131 and the second part 1132, so that the first part 1131 and the second part 1132 can adjust the angle between the two by means of the thin wall 114. This arrangement can adjust the gap between the second bracket 11 and the surrounding parts during installation. On this basis, that is, on the basis that the second bracket 11 includes a skeleton layer and a fabric layer, the part corresponding to the first part 1131 is defined as the main body 111 of the second bracket 11, and the part corresponding to the second part 1132 is defined as the adjustable part 112 of the second bracket 11. In this embodiment, the thin wall 114 is discontinuously arranged along the extension direction of the main body 111 as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in FIG, there is a thin wall 114 on a cross section taken at a certain portion of the front bracket assembly, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in FIG, there is no thin wall 114 on the cross section taken after a certain distance from the aforementioned cross section. Alternatively, the thin wall 114 can also be arranged continuously, that is, any cross section will present Figure 2 The structure of the connection between the middle main body part 111 and the adjustable part 112.

[0091] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown in the figure, the edge of the main body part 111 close to one side of the luggage compartment cover 13 is bent downward to form a bent part 116. After the second bracket 11 is installed on the first bracket 10, the bent part 116 abuts against the step surface of the first bracket 10. Specifically, since the bent part 116 is coated with the first fabric layer 115 and has a certain thickness, the bent part 116 includes an outer side surface, a lower end surface and a back surface close to the side edge of the luggage compartment cover 13. When the bent part 116 abuts against the step surface of the first bracket 10, the lower end surface of the bent part 116 abuts against the bottom wall surface of the step surface, and the back surface abuts against the side wall surface of the step surface, and a support part for abutting against the end surface of the luggage compartment cover 13 is constructed. The installed state is as shown in Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the texture of the visible area of the surface of the first fabric layer 115 of the second bracket 11 and the texture of the visible area of the surface of the second fabric layer 104 of the first bracket 10 are consistent with the texture of the luggage compartment cover 13 and the side trim panel 14. The texture of the lower area of the luggage compartment cover 13 seen when the user opens the luggage compartment cover 13 is consistent with that of the luggage compartment side trim panel 14. The texture style of the entire luggage compartment area is consistent, and the vehicle body cross beam 15 can be blocked by the first bracket 10, so that the overall appearance is more coordinated and a better visual effect can be obtained.

[0092] In the installed state, the edge of the front end of the luggage compartment cover 13 overlaps on the step surface and abuts against the outer side surface of the bent part 116. In addition, the upper surface of the main body part 111 after installation is flush with the upper surface of the luggage compartment cover 13, which ensures the cooperation and limit of the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 11 in the up and down direction of the whole vehicle, and achieves the effect of delicate appearance matching.

[0093] Further, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1161 are arranged on the back surface of the bent part 116 at intervals in a direction consistent with the extending direction of the main body part 111. Comparing Figure 2 and Figure 3 it can be seen from the structure of the bent part 116 in the figure that Figure 2 the cross-section position in the figure is located at the position where the reinforcing rib 1161 is located, Figure 3 and the cross-section position in the figure is located at the interval position between adjacent reinforcing ribs 1161. As shown in Figure 2 in the figure, the bent part 116 abuts against the side wall surface of the step surface through a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1161, which not only ensures the support and limit of the luggage compartment cover 13 in the front and back directions, but also is easy to adjust the size and facilitate the size matching between parts.

[0094] Furthermore, the first fabric layer 115 extends to the back of the bending part 116 and covers the lower part of the reinforcing rib 1161. And the second fabric layer 104 extends to the end of the first fabric layer 115, that is, both extend to the side wall surface of the step surface, so as to hide the fabric cutting edges of the second bracket 11 and the first bracket 10 at the back of the part, saving fabric cost while ensuring the appearance effect.

[0095] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a winding mechanism 118 is further provided at a position near the adjustable part 112 below the main body part 111 of the second bracket 11. The winding mechanism 118 includes a rotating cylinder 1182, a traction rope 1181, an elastic member, etc. The traction rope 1181 is wound around the rotating cylinder 1182, and the rotating cylinder 1182 is connected with an elastic member. At the same time, screw holes are provided at the bottoms of the first part 1131 and the second part 1132 of the first skeleton layer 113. The first end of the traction rope 1181 is fixed to the first part 1131 and the second end is fixed to the second part 1132 through screws 1184 and pressing plates 1183 respectively, and the first end and the second end of the traction rope 1181 are pressed and fixed by the pressing plate 1183, so that the winding mechanism 118 connects the first part 1131 and the second part 1132 of the first skeleton layer 113, so that the traction rope 1181 can be released or retracted by the rotating cylinder 1182, so as to provide assistance or limit during the process of changing the included angle between the main body part 111 and the adjustable part 112, achieving the effect of matching the gap with surrounding parts.

[0096] Alternatively, the winding mechanism 118 can also be provided with a driving mechanism such as a motor to achieve assistance during the rotation of the rotating cylinder 1182. In addition, the traction rope 1181 can be a steel wire rope with a certain stiffness or an elastic rope with elasticity. [[ID=1(2]]

The reinforcing member 105 is respectively connected to the horizontal extension part 101 and the vertical extension part 102 of the first bracket 10, and is used to enhance the structural strength of the first bracket 10. The first bracket 10 is detachably connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 through the reinforcing member 105. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the strengthening member 105 in this embodiment is a grid strengthening frame structure integrally formed with the second skeleton layer 103 of the first bracket 10, and the number thereof is multiple. The multiple grid strengthening frames are spaced apart in a direction consistent with the extending direction of the underbody cross beam 15. A second card interface is provided at the lower part of the grid strengthening frame, and it is connected to the underbody cross beam 15 through the second buckle 17, so that the bottom of the first bracket 10 is fixed to the underbody cross beam 15; two first card interfaces are provided at the upper part of the grid strengthening frame, and it is connected to the second bracket 11 through the first buckle 16, so that the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 11 are tightly connected. Thus, while achieving the effect of strengthening the strength of the first bracket 10 body, it also provides support and fixation for the second bracket 11, preventing the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 11 from shaking and generating abnormal noise.

[0098] Regarding the structural type of the strengthening member 105, although the grid strengthening frame is taken as an example for description in the Figure 3 embodiment, this should not limit the protection scope of the present invention, as long as it can enhance the structural strength of the first bracket 10 and does not affect the installation of other components. Specifically, the strengthening member 105 can also be a solid member, a honeycomb member, etc. In addition, although the grid strengthening frame is described as being integrally formed with the horizontal extension part 101 and the vertical extension part 102 in this embodiment, this should not limit the protection scope of the present invention either. The strengthening member 105 can also be connected to the first bracket 10 by bonding, fastener connection, snap connection, etc. These changes do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, and therefore all will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0099] It can be understood that the first card interface and the second card interface only indicate that different snap connection types can be adopted, as long as the connection can be ensured to be stable.

[0100] Regarding the number of card interfaces on the strengthening member 105, although in Figure 3A second card interface is provided at the lower part of the reinforcing member 105, and two first card interfaces are provided at the upper part of the reinforcing member 105. However, this should not limit the protection scope of the present invention. As long as the connection stability between the reinforcing member 105 and the lower vehicle body cross beam 15, and the connection stability between the reinforcing member 105 and the second bracket 11 can be ensured. Specifically, two second card interfaces can be provided at the lower part of the reinforcing member 105, and three first card interfaces can be provided at the upper part of the reinforcing member 105. These changes do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments according to actual needs. In addition, although in this embodiment, the reinforcing member 105 is connected to the second bracket 11 by snap connection and the reinforcing member 105 is connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 by snap connection as an example for description, this is not restrictive either. The reinforcing member 105 and the lower vehicle body cross beam 15, and the reinforcing member 105 and the second bracket 11 can also be connected by fasteners as long as the connection can be ensured to be stable.

[0101] Preferably, the main body part 111 of the second bracket 11 is also provided with a plurality of limiting ribs 117 corresponding to the reinforcing member 105 and distributed at intervals along the direction consistent with the extending direction of the lower vehicle body cross beam 15. The upper surface of the reinforcing member 105 is closely matched with the limiting ribs 117, so that the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 11 can be stably matched in the up-and-down direction of the vehicle, preventing abnormal noise and noise.

[0102] The front bracket assembly provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes a connecting bracket 12, and the first bracket 10 is also detachably connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 through the connecting bracket 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first bracket 10 is connected to the connecting bracket 12 by a fastener 18, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the bottom of the connecting bracket 12 is welded to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15. The top of the connecting bracket 12 is provided with an installation hole and a positioning hole. A nut 182 is pre-welded on the back of the installation hole. At the same time, a metal reinforcing insert 19 with a through hole and a positioning pin 1011 are provided on the top plane of the step surface of the first bracket 10. The positioning pin 1011 is in positioning cooperation with the positioning hole, and then the first bracket 10 and the connecting bracket 12 are connected by a bolt 181 and a nut 182, so that the first bracket 10 can be accurately positioned and connected to the connecting bracket 12, and then stably connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15.

[0103] Preferably, the second bracket 11 is provided with flanges on the left and right sides in the width direction of the vehicle, and the first fabric layer 115 of the second bracket 11 extends to the back of the flanges. The flanges are closely matched with the side wall 141 of the side trim panel 14, so that the fabric cutting edge of the second bracket 11 is invisible, so as to achieve a good appearance matching effect.

[0104] It should be noted that the position and number of the connecting brackets 12 are not fixed. Specifically, two, three or more connecting brackets 12 can be provided, and the installation positions can be on the left side, right side, middle, etc. of the lower vehicle body cross beam 15. These changes do not deviate from the principle of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust according to actual needs. In addition, although in this embodiment, the first bracket 10 and the connecting bracket 12 are connected by fasteners as an example for description, this is not restrictive. Specifically, the first bracket 10 and the connecting bracket 12 can also be connected by snap connection, as long as the connection stability between the first bracket 10 and the connecting bracket 12 can be ensured.

[0105] It should be noted that although in this embodiment, the first bracket 10 is connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 through the connecting bracket 12 and at the same time the first bracket 10 is connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 through the strengthening member 105 for description, this is not restrictive. Specifically, the first bracket 10 can be connected to the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 only through the strengthening member 105, or only through the connecting bracket 12, as long as the stable connection between the first bracket 10 and the lower vehicle body cross beam 15 can be ensured.

[0106] Preferably, the first fabric layer 115 and the first skeleton layer 113, and the second fabric layer 104 and the second skeleton layer 103 are preferably integrally formed by composite molding, which not only ensures the appearance aesthetics but also is easy for process production.

[0107] More preferably, the first part 1131 and the second part 1132 of the first skeleton layer 113 are integrally formed by composite molding with the first fabric layer 115, avoiding the separate bonding of the first fabric layer 115 to multiple skeleton layers, simplifying the process and improving the assembly accuracy of the assembly parts at the same time.

[0108] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
