Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an exterior trim mounting structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of automobiles, consumers are paying more and more attention to the aesthetics of car exteriors. To integrate lighting and display decorations, exterior parts are often cut into narrow and long sections. Traditionally, exterior parts are connected to the counterpart parts using connecting brackets and clips. Because the clips are rigid connections, they are prone to wear and tear after the exterior parts are disassembled and reassembled with the counterpart parts, resulting in reduced durability. After reassembly, gaps and surface differences can easily occur between the exterior parts and the counterpart parts, leading to lower assembly quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an exterior trim installation structure that addresses the problems of traditional exterior trim components using connecting brackets to snap onto the other components. On the one hand, this method cannot be disassembled and reassembled repeatedly, and is prone to wear and tear, resulting in gap differences. On the other hand, compared with the traditional snap-fit ​​method, it can also reduce the space required for the installation structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an exterior trim mounting structure, comprising: Exterior trim piece, wherein the exterior trim piece is provided with fixing holes; Mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is provided with mounting holes; The opponent component, wherein the opponent component is provided with a fixing member; and A sliding structure is provided between the exterior trim and the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket moves relative to the exterior trim via the sliding structure, resulting in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fixing hole and the mounting hole are opposite each other, and the fixing member passes through the fixing hole and the mounting hole. In the second position, the fixing hole and the mounting hole are misaligned, and the end edge of the fixing member abuts against the edge of the mounting hole.

[0005] Optionally, the exterior trim mounting structure further includes a positioning structure disposed between the exterior trim and the opposing part, the positioning structure being used to position the exterior trim and the opposing part relative to each other.

[0006] Optionally, the positioning structure includes a positioning post and a positioning hole that mates with the positioning post. The positioning post is disposed on the outer trim piece and is spaced apart from the mounting hole along the moving direction of the mounting bracket. The positioning hole is correspondingly disposed on the counter piece.

[0007] Optionally, the positioning posts include two, which are spaced apart at both ends of the exterior trim along the moving direction of the mounting bracket, and the mounting hole is located between the two positioning posts.

[0008] Optionally, the sliding structure includes a sliding member disposed on the mounting bracket and a sliding groove disposed on the exterior trim, wherein the sliding member moves within the sliding groove.

[0009] Optionally, the sliding member is a bent strip that bends a portion of the mounting bracket towards the outer trim, and a limiting slider located at the free end of the bent strip. The limiting slider extends along the width direction of the slide groove. The sliding structure also includes a clearance groove, which is located on the outer trim and communicates with the slide groove. Both the slide groove and the clearance groove penetrate the outer trim. The limiting slider is positioned at the bottom of the slide groove from the clearance groove, and the limiting slider contacts the bottom edge of the slide groove. The bent strip is located within the slide groove.

[0010] Optionally, a limiting structure is provided on the bottom edge of the slide groove, which divides the bottom edge of the slide groove into a first region and a second region along the moving direction of the mounting bracket. When the limiting slider is located in the first region, the mounting bracket corresponds to the first position; when the limiting slider is located in the second region, the mounting bracket corresponds to the second position.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting structure includes two limiting protrusions arranged along the moving direction of the mounting bracket, the limiting protrusions having the same extending direction as the limiting slider.

[0012] Optionally, the fastener is configured as a locking post, which includes a post body and a post head. The area of ​​the post head is larger than the area of ​​the post body. The mounting bracket also has a locking hole that communicates with the fixing hole. The locking hole is smaller than the fixing hole. In the first position, the fixing hole and the mounting hole are opposite each other, and the locking post passes through the outer trim and the mounting bracket. In the second position, the locking hole contacts the post body, and the post head contacts the edge of the locking hole.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting bracket further includes a handle portion located at one end of the mounting bracket away from the sliding structure, the handle portion being bent from the end of the mounting bracket toward the opponent.

[0014] The present invention also proposes a vehicle including the exterior trim mounting structure described above.

[0015] This invention employs an exterior trim piece, a mounting bracket, a matching piece, and a sliding structure. The exterior trim piece has a fixing hole; the mounting bracket has a mounting hole; the matching piece has a fixing member; the sliding structure is located between the exterior trim piece and the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket moves relative to the exterior trim piece via the sliding structure, resulting in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fixing hole and the mounting hole are opposite each other, and the fixing member passes through both the mounting hole and the fixing hole. In the second position, the fixing hole and the mounting hole are misaligned, and the end edge of the fixing member abuts against the edge of the mounting bracket. From a cross-sectional perspective, the matching piece and the exterior trim piece can be understood as two fitted rectangular objects. The fixing member on the matching piece passes through the fixing hole of the exterior trim piece and is partially exposed, while the mounting bracket is inserted into the exposed part of the fixing member, thus fixing the exterior trim piece and the matching piece; or it can be pulled out to separate them. Taking the exterior trim at the front of the car and the fender as an example, during installation, the mounting bracket is mounted on the exterior trim via a sliding structure. The middle of the exterior trim is then fixed to the front sheet metal. At this point, both ends of the exterior trim will be close to and aligned with the fender, which is the opposing part. However, because the mounting bracket is pre-installed with the exterior trim via the sliding structure, no additional installation operation is required. Then, through the slight bending of the exterior trim's own elastic range, the fixing parts on the opposing part pass through the fixing holes of the exterior trim and the mounting holes of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is then pushed, causing the end of the fixing part to abut against the edge of the mounting hole of the mounting bracket. In this way, the exterior trim and the opposing part are assembled. Compared to traditional... The proposed solution uses a mounting bracket to snap together the exterior trim and its counterpart, reducing the required installation space. Furthermore, disassembly is convenient; simply pull out the mounting bracket to align the fixing hole and the mounting hole. This solves the problems associated with traditional exterior trim using a connecting bracket to snap together the counterpart. Firstly, this method cannot withstand repeated disassembly and assembly, leading to wear and surface differences. Secondly, unlike traditional snap-fit ​​methods where the mounting bracket is located between the exterior trim and the counterpart, requiring a certain installation space, which is difficult without increasing the installation space, or may cause surface differences between the exterior trim and the counterpart if the installation space is increased. Therefore, this solution also reduces the space required for the installation structure, resolving the surface difference problem caused by insufficient installation space.

[0022] With the increasing popularity of automobiles, consumers are paying more and more attention to the aesthetics of car exteriors. To integrate lighting and display decorations, exterior parts are often cut into narrow and long sections. Traditionally, exterior parts are connected to the counterpart parts using connecting brackets and clips. Because the clips are rigid connections, they are prone to wear and tear after the exterior parts are disassembled and reassembled with the counterpart parts, resulting in reduced durability. After reassembly, gaps and surface differences can easily occur between the exterior parts and the counterpart parts, leading to lower assembly quality.

[0023] To address this issue, the present invention proposes an exterior trim installation structure that aims to solve the problem of traditional exterior trim components using connecting brackets to snap onto the opposite parts. On the one hand, this method cannot be disassembled and reassembled repeatedly, and is prone to wear and tear, resulting in gap differences. On the other hand, compared with the traditional snap-fit ​​method, it can also reduce the space required for the installation structure.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the exterior trim mounting structure 100 includes an exterior trim 10, a mounting bracket 20, a counter part 30, and a sliding structure 50. The exterior trim 10 is provided with a fixing hole 11, the mounting bracket 20 is provided with a mounting hole 21, and the counter part 30 is provided with a fixing part 31.

[0025] Reference Figure 1Regarding the connection between the exterior trim piece 10 and the matching piece 30, taking the connection between the long and narrow exterior trim piece 10 at the front of the car and the fender on the side of the car body as an example, the exterior trim piece 10 at this position is usually C-shaped. The middle position of the C-shape is engaged with the sheet metal part at the front of the car, and the two ends of the C-shape correspond to the fender. After the middle position of the C-shaped exterior trim piece 10 is fixed, the two ends of the C-shaped exterior trim piece 10 are close to the fender. The traditional solution requires making an L-shaped fold at the end of the exterior trim piece 10 and making a corresponding fold at the fender. Because the exterior trim 10 has a painted surface for aesthetic purposes, it is not possible to directly install clips on the exterior trim 10 for engagement. This requires an additional connecting bracket to engage the exterior trim 10 and the fender. The ends of the fender and the exterior trim 10 are limited, which means that the space for the connecting bracket is restricted in order to control the surface difference between the fender and the exterior trim 10. If the space of the installation structure is not increased, the connection and installation will be difficult; if the space of the installation structure is increased, the control effect of the gap surface difference will be worse.

[0026] Reference Figures 2 to 4 Specifically, regarding this solution, the sliding structure 50 is disposed between the outer trim piece 10 and the mounting bracket 20. The mounting bracket 20 moves relative to the outer trim piece 10 through the sliding structure 50, thereby giving the mounting bracket 20 a first position and a second position. Here, the sliding structure 50 allows the outer trim piece 10 and the mounting bracket 20 to slide relative to each other. There are various ways to achieve this, such as a separable sliding between the mounting bracket 20 and the outer trim piece 10, where the contact surfaces of the outer trim piece 10 and the opposing piece 30 are smoothly arranged and they are attracted to each other at corresponding positions, such as by a magnet; or a non-separable sliding, where the outer trim piece 10 and the opposing piece 30 are separated by their own structure or by an intermediate component, which will be described in detail below. As described above, since the exterior trim 10 is partially fixed during installation, and the opposing trim 30 is also fixed beforehand, the mounting bracket 20 actually slides relative to the exterior trim 10 and the opposing trim 30. From a cross-sectional perspective, the opposing trim 30 and the exterior trim 10 can be understood as two rectangular objects that fit together. The fixing member 31 on the opposing trim 30 passes through the fixing hole 11 of the exterior trim 10 and is partially exposed. The mounting bracket 20 is inserted into the exposed part of the fixing member 31 to fix the exterior trim 10 and the opposing trim 30; or it can be pulled out to separate the two.

[0027] It is easy to understand that the fastener 31 only needs to have a certain height and a bent part that can abut against the surface of the mounting bracket 20, such as the shape "T", "P", "7" etc.

[0028] Of course, if the fastener 31 is divided into an extension section and a contact section bent from the extension section, then the height of the extension section is no greater than the thickness of the outer trim 10 and the mounting bracket 20. In this way, after the mounting bracket 20 slides relative to the outer trim 10, the contact section can contact the surface of the mounting bracket 20 to achieve the fixing effect between the outer trim 10 and the fastener 30.

[0029] Of course, if the height of the extension section is greater than the thickness of the outer trim 10 and the mounting part, corresponding structures such as protrusions can be set in the mounting bracket 20 and the abutment section, so as to ensure the fixing effect of the outer trim 10 and the mounting part 30.

[0030] Of course, the fastener 31 and the mounting bracket 20 can also be arranged such that one gradually decreases in height along the direction of movement, while the other is set in the opposite direction, such as the wooden wedge structure used for wooden items.

[0031] The end edge of the fixing member 31 abuts against the edge of the mounting bracket 20. It should be noted that abutting means that in the second position, the fixing member 31 is in contact with the mounting bracket 20. It is easy to understand that the mounting bracket 20 slides so that the edge of the mounting hole 21 is close to the fixing member 31, and the lower surface of the upper end of the fixing member 31 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting hole 21.

[0032] Specifically, during the sliding process of the mounting bracket 20 relative to the outer trim 10, it has a first position and a second position. The first and second positions are defined by the relative positions of the mounting hole 21 on the outer trim 10 and the fixing hole 11 of the mounting bracket 20. In the first position, the fixing hole 11 and the mounting hole 21 are opposite each other, and the fastener 31 passes through both the mounting hole 21 and the fixing hole 11. In the second position, the fixing hole 11 is misaligned with the mounting hole 21, and the end edge of the fastener 31 abuts against the edge of the mounting bracket 20.

[0033] During installation, the mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the exterior trim 10 via the sliding structure 50. The middle position of the exterior trim 10 is then fixed to the front sheet metal. At this point, both ends of the exterior trim 10 are flush against the fenders of the opposing part 30. Since the mounting bracket 20 is pre-installed with the exterior trim 10 via the sliding structure 50, no additional operation is required. Then, through the slight bending of the exterior trim 10 within its elastic range, the fixing member 31 on the opposing part 30 passes through the fixing hole 11 of the exterior trim 10 and the mounting hole 21 of the mounting bracket 20. The mounting bracket 20 is then pushed, causing the end of the fixing member 31 to engage with the mounting bracket. The edges of the two parts 20 abut against each other, pressing the outer trim 10 and the opposing part 30 together. This completes the assembly of the outer trim 10 and the opposing part 30. Compared with the traditional solution of using the mounting bracket 20 to snap the outer trim 10 and the opposing part 30 together, this reduces the space required for installation. Moreover, it is easy to disassemble. When disassembling, simply pull out the mounting bracket 20 to align the fixing hole 11 and the mounting hole 21. This solves the problem that the traditional method of using the connecting bracket to snap the opposing part 30 for the outer trim 10 cannot be disassembled and assembled repeatedly, which is prone to wear and gap differences. In addition, compared with the traditional snap-fit ​​method, it can also reduce the space required for the installation structure.

[0034] It is easy to understand that using the fastener 31 and abutting the surface of the mounting bracket 20 to clamp the opponent 30 and the outer trim 10 provides a more secure connection compared to traditional snap-fit ​​methods. This is because clamping the opponent 30 and the outer trim 10 provides a larger contact area and better fixing force, while also increasing the stability and durability of the connection. In addition, it is easier to operate if disassembly or replacement is required.

[0035] In the above scheme, the installation of the exterior trim 10 and the opposite part 30 requires that the fastener 31 and the mounting hole 21 be aligned, so as to facilitate the assembly of the exterior trim 10 and the opposite part 30.

[0036] Combined with reference Figures 5 to 9 As a further embodiment, the exterior trim mounting structure 100 also includes a positioning structure 40, which is disposed between the exterior trim 10 and the opposing component 30. The positioning structure 40 positions the exterior trim 10 and the opposing component 30 relative to each other. The positioning structure 40 provides more precise positioning and a more secure connection because it ensures that the relative positions of the exterior trim 10 and the opposing component 30 are accurate. This allows the fastener 31 to accurately pass through the fixing hole 11 of the exterior trim 10 and the mounting hole 21 of the mounting bracket 20, and to precisely engage with the surface of the mounting bracket 20, thus providing a more secure connection. Furthermore, the positioning structure 40 increases the stability and durability of the connection, preventing loosening or detachment during use.

[0037] In one embodiment, the positioning structure 40 includes a positioning post 41 and a positioning hole 42 that cooperates with the positioning post 41. The positioning post 41 is disposed on the outer trim 10 and is arranged at intervals from the mounting hole 21 along the moving direction of the mounting bracket 20. The positioning hole 42 is correspondingly disposed on the opposing part 30.

[0038] Specifically, the positioning structure 40, which mates with the positioning post 41 and the fixing hole 11, can provide very high positioning accuracy because the dimensions and shapes of the positioning post 41 and the fixing hole 11 can be controlled very precisely. Furthermore, the positioning structure 40 provides a very stable connection because the mating area between the positioning post 41 and the fixing hole 11 is large, providing better mechanical support and anti-loosening performance. In addition, the positioning structure 40 can typically withstand large loads and be reused, thus exhibiting strong durability. At the same time, the manufacturing cost of the positioning structure 40 is relatively low because this structure is relatively simple and can be manufactured using conventional processing equipment and processes.

[0039] Specifically, to ensure effective positioning and the overall strength of the exterior trim installation structure 100, two positioning posts 41 are provided. These two positioning posts 41 are spaced apart at both ends of the exterior trim 10 along the moving direction of the mounting bracket 20, and the mounting hole 21 is located between the two positioning posts 41. The use of two positioning posts 41 provides more precise positioning and a more secure connection. Because the positioning posts 41, when aligned with the positioning hole 42, ensure accurate relative positioning of the accessory 30 and the exterior trim 10, and the positioning hole 42 makes the connection between the two components more stable, preventing loosening or detachment during use. Furthermore, this design improves production efficiency, as the positioning posts 41 and positioning hole 42 simplify and speed up the assembly process, reducing assembly time and costs.

[0040] In other embodiments, the positioning structure 40 may also be a keyway and a key engagement, with corresponding keyways and keys machined on the two connected components respectively, and positioning and connection achieved through the engagement of the keys; or, an elastic joint may be provided between the two connected components, and positioning and connection achieved through the deformation of the elastic joint.

[0041] Reference Figures 5 to 9 Regarding the sliding structure 50.

[0042] On the one hand, it is to facilitate convenient installation and operation, and on the other hand, it is to simplify the installation process.

[0043] In one embodiment, the sliding structure 50 includes a sliding member 51 disposed on the mounting bracket 20 and a sliding groove 52 disposed on the outer trim 10, wherein the sliding member 51 moves within the sliding groove 52.

[0044] For example, the slider 51 can be a slider, and the outer trim 10 is provided with a groove 52 extending in one direction. When in use, the slider is inserted into the groove 52 to achieve sliding connection while preventing the outer trim 10 from detaching from the mounting bracket 20.

[0045] Alternatively, the slider 51 can be a slide rail structure, which includes a sliding component and a track component that acts as a limit, with the track component placed inside the slide groove 52, etc.

[0046] During the mating process, in order to maintain smooth sliding, some lubricant can be added between the hand part 30 and the outer trim part 10 to reduce friction and make the sliding smoother.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sliding member 51 is a bent strip 511 that bends a portion of the mounting bracket 20 toward the outer trim 10, and a limiting slider 512 located at the free end of the bent strip 511. The limiting slider 512 extends along the width direction of the slide groove 52. The sliding structure 50 also includes a clearance groove 53, which is located on the outer trim 10 and communicates with the slide groove 52. Both the slide groove 52 and the clearance groove 53 penetrate the outer trim 10. The limiting slider 512 is positioned at the bottom of the slide groove 52 from the clearance groove 53, and the limiting slider 512 contacts the bottom edge of the slide groove 52. The bent strip 511 is located within the slide groove 52.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, a portion of the mounting bracket 20 detaches from the outer trim piece 10, forming a notch. The detached portion bends towards the outer trim piece 10, and its ends extend to both sides to form limiting sliders 512. The outer trim piece 10 has a clearance groove 53, which is larger than the limiting slider 512, allowing the limiting slider 512 to pass through the clearance groove 53. During installation, the bent portion faces the trim piece, and the limiting slider 512 passes through the clearance groove 53 to the other side of the outer trim piece 10. The mounting bracket 20 is then pushed, causing the bent strip 511 portion to be placed in the sliding groove 52. At this point, the limiting slider 512 abuts against the bottom of the sliding groove 52, completing the installation of the mounting bracket 20 and the outer trim piece 10. The sliding structure 50 between the mounting bracket 20 and the outer trim piece 10 is formed by its own structure, eliminating the need for external parts and simplifying the structure, reducing manufacturing steps, and resulting in a higher quality feel.

[0049] To facilitate the installation of the exterior trim mounting structure 100, as a further solution, a limiting structure 60 is provided on the bottom edge of the slide groove 52. The limiting structure 60 divides the bottom edge of the slide groove 52 into a first region 521 and a second region 522 along the moving direction of the mounting bracket 20. When the limiting slider 512 is located in the first region 521, the mounting bracket 20 corresponds to the first position; when the limiting slider 512 is located in the second region 522, the mounting bracket 20 corresponds to the second position.

[0050] The limiting structure 60 allows the first and second positions to be intuitively and concretely fed back to the operator, making it more convenient to align the outer trim 10 and the opposite trim 30, and also allowing for intuitive perception of whether locking is complete.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting structure 60 includes two limiting protrusions 61 arranged along the moving direction of the mounting bracket 20, and the limiting protrusions 61 extend in the same direction as the limiting slider 512.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the cross-section of the limiting protrusion 61 is arc-shaped or cylindrical. At the same time, due to the setting of the bending strip 511, the sliding member 51 has a certain elastic deformation capability. This ensures that the mounting bracket 20 plays a certain limiting role in the first and second positions, while not affecting the movement of the mounting bracket 20.

[0053] In actual operation, after placing the limiting slide rail between the two limiting protrusions 61, the mounting bracket 20 and the outer trim 10 are in the first position. At this time, the outer trim 10 and the counter part 30 can be installed together. Then push the mounting bracket 20. When you feel that it has passed the second limiting protrusion 61, or when you hear a "click", the fixing of the counter part 30 and the outer trim 10 is completed.

[0054] Specifically, the fixing member 31 is configured as a locking post 32, which includes a post body 321 and a post head 322. The area of ​​the post head 322 is larger than the area of ​​the post body 321. The mounting bracket 20 is also provided with a locking hole 22, which communicates with the fixing hole 11. The locking hole 22 is smaller than the fixing hole 11. In the first position, the fixing hole 11 and the mounting hole 21 are opposite each other, and the locking post 32 passes through the outer trim 10 and the mounting bracket 20. In the second position, the locking hole 22 contacts the post body 321, and the post head 322 contacts the edge of the locking hole 22. To ensure the locking effect, the mounting bracket 20 uses a combination of large and small holes. When locking, the locking hole 22 with the smaller hole engages with the post body 321 of the fixing member 31, so that the post head 322 partially covers the surface of the locking hole 22. Meanwhile, the locking pin 32 is easier to manufacture and has a simpler structure.

[0055] Specifically, the height of the column body 321 is equal to or slightly greater than the sum of the thickness of the mounting bracket 20 and the thickness of the outer trim 10. It is easy to understand that this allows the mounting bracket 20 to slide to contact the column head 322, thereby clamping the outer trim 10, the mounting bracket 20, and the counter 30.

[0056] Furthermore, to facilitate operation of the mounting bracket 20, the mounting bracket 20 also includes a handle 70, which is located at the end of the mounting bracket 20 away from the sliding structure 50. The handle 70 is bent from the end of the mounting bracket 20 toward the opposing member 30. Thus, after the outer trim 10 and the opposing member 30 are fixed, the bent handle 70 can cover the outer trim 10 and the opposing member 30, ensuring the appearance.

[0057] In other embodiments, the handle portion 70 may be in other forms, such as a ring, a grip, etc.

[0058] To enhance the structural strength of the mounting bracket 20, the mounting bracket 20 is provided with a first reinforcing structure 81, which is located at the bend of the handle portion 70.

[0059] Specifically, the first reinforcing structure 81 is configured as a reinforcing rib.

[0060] To enhance the structural strength of the mounting bracket 20, the mounting bracket 20 is further provided with a second reinforcing structure 82, which is located between the fixing hole 11 and the handle portion 70.

[0061] Specifically, the second reinforcing structure 82 is configured as a protrusion that rises from one side of the mounting bracket 20 to the other.

[0062] In other embodiments, the first reinforcing structure 81 and the second reinforcing structure 82 are provided with the same reinforcing ribs; or one is provided with a reinforcing rib and the other is provided with other reinforcing structures, such as providing reinforcement.

[0063] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, which includes a body, wherein the body adopts the above-described exterior trim mounting structure 100.

Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
