DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] See also Figure 1-5 The present embodiment provides a front trim strip, including a top plate 1, a bottom plate 2 and a connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 is vertically arranged, and the two ends of the connecting plate 3 are respectively connected to one end of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The connecting plate 3, the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 form a mounting groove together, and the mounting groove is used to cooperate with one end of the partition. From the horizontal direction away from the connecting plate 3, the vertical height of the mounting groove gradually decreases. Such an arrangement reduces the contact area between the mounting groove and the partition, thereby reducing the force acting on the front trim strip to be installed on the partition, making it convenient for operators to install the front trim strip on the partition, and because the mounting groove is away from the connecting plate The vertical height of one end of the connecting plate 3 is less than the thickness of the partition, ensuring that the front decorative strip is installed on the partition and will not fall off, solving the problem that the existing decorative strips are connected to one end of the partition through a mounting groove formed between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. In order to ensure stability after installation, the height of the mounting groove is usually less than the thickness of the partition. However, such a setting often increases the difficulty of installing or removing the decorative strip, and may even cause the structure of the decorative strip to undergo irreversible deformation during installation or removal due to excessive force applied to the decorative strip, causing damage to the decorative strip.

[0030] Further, it is necessary to describe the structure of the top plate 1 of the present scheme. The top plate 1 of the present scheme is arranged at an angle, and the distance between the horizontal center lines of the top plate 1 and the connecting plate 3 gradually decreases from one end where the top plate 1 is connected to the connecting plate 3 to the other end of the top plate 1, thereby achieving a structural effect in which the vertical height of the mounting groove gradually decreases from the horizontal direction away from the connecting plate 3.

[0031] In addition, the bottom plate 2 of the present scheme includes a short plate 201, a long plate 202, a hinge plate 203 and abutment blocks 204, the axial directions of the short plate 201 and the long plate 202 are horizontally arranged with the horizontal center line of the connecting plate 3, and the short plate 201, the hinge plate 203 and the long plate 202 are arranged in sequence from the horizontal direction close to the connecting plate 3 to the horizontal direction away from the connecting plate 3, one end of the short plate 201 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 3, and the long plate 202 is arranged next to the other end of the short plate 201, and the two ends of the hinge plate 203 are respectively connected to one end of the short plate 201 and the long plate 202, and the abutment blocks 204 are located in the installation groove, and the abutment blocks 204 are arranged at the bending part of the hinge plate 203; it is worth noting that the distance between the horizontal center line of the short plate 201 and the connecting plate 3 of the present scheme is greater than the distance between the horizontal center line of the long plate 202 and the connecting plate 3. Such an arrangement makes the surface of the long plate 202 of the present scheme fit with the partition The short plate 201 will not be fitted with the partition, and a gap space is formed between the partition and the short plate 201; since the vertical height of the installation groove decreases from the horizontal direction away from the connecting plate 3 in this scheme, and the vertical height of the end of the installation groove away from the connecting plate 3 is less than the thickness of the partition, after the end of the installation groove away from the connecting plate 3 is fitted with the partition, the end of the installation groove close to the connecting plate 3 will not be fitted with the partition. In order to ensure that the installation groove close to the inside of the connecting plate 3 can be fitted with the partition, the present scheme is also provided with an abutment block 204, which is fitted with the partition to further increase the contact area between the installation groove and the partition, and further increase the stability of the front trim installed on the partition. It should be noted that the abutment block 204 will deform by itself, so that the abutment block 204 and the partition are fitted with each other, and the deformed abutment block 204 will be located in the gap space.

[0032] Furthermore, in the present scheme, the abutment block 204 is tilted, and the angle between the setting direction of the abutment block 204 and the setting direction of the long plate 202 is an obtuse angle. The bottom end of the abutment block 204 is tangentially matched with the surface of the long plate 202. In addition, the abutment block 204 of the present scheme is raised in height in the direction close to the connecting plate 3. Such a setting can not only ensure that when the partition is extended into the installation groove, the abutment block 204 can be deformed so that it can be fitted with the partition. At the same time, once the front trim strip of the present scheme has a tendency to release the fit from the partition, due to the force between the abutment block 204 and the partition, the abutment block 204 will be lifted in height in the direction of the top plate 1, thereby reducing the vertical height distance between the abutment block 204 and the top plate 1, thereby increasing the contact force between the abutment block 204 and the partition, ensuring that the front trim strip is not easy to fall off after being installed on the partition.

[0033] It is worth noting that the hinge plate 203 of this solution is bent toward the direction close to the installation groove, and the two ends of the hinge plate 203 are tangent to the short plate 201 and the long plate 202 respectively. This arrangement ensures that the area where the abutment block 204 of this solution is fitted with the partition is increased.

[0034] Furthermore, although the present solution reduces the contact area between the front trim and the partition by providing an inclined top plate 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the front trim and the partition, it also reduces the force between the front trim and the partition. There is a risk that the front trim may fall off after being installed on the partition. Based on this, in order to solve this problem, the present solution specially provides a locking unit 6.

[0035] The key point is that the top plate 1, connecting plate 3 and bottom plate 2 of the present scheme jointly form a decorative strip structure, a slot hole is opened in the middle of the decorative strip structure, and a sealing gas is filled in the slot hole, and connecting grooves 4 are opened at both ends of the decorative strip structure respectively, and the connecting grooves 4 can lock or release their connection relationship with the slot hole, and also include two locking units 6, and the two locking units 6 are matched with the two connecting grooves 4 one by one, and any locking unit 6 is connected with the corresponding connecting groove 4; when the front decorative strip of the present scheme has not been installed on the partition, the slot hole locks its sealing relationship with the connecting groove 4, and the two are not connected with each other, and the sealing gas in the slot hole cannot flow into the connecting groove 4, causing the locking unit 6 connected with the connecting groove 4 to fail to work; when the front decorative strip of the present scheme is installed on the partition, the slot hole releases its sealing relationship with the connecting groove 4, and the two are connected with each other, and the sealing gas in the slot hole flows into the connecting groove 4, causing the locking unit 6 connected with the connecting groove 4 to start working.

[0036] Specifically, the locking unit 6 of the present solution includes an airbag 5, which is interconnected with the connecting groove 4. The airbag 5 is arranged in the gap space, and the airbag 5 can lock or release its abutting relationship with the partition and the abutting block 204; when the front decorative strip of the present solution is installed on the partition, the slot hole releases its sealing relationship with the connecting groove 4, and the two are interconnected. The sealed gas in the slot hole flows into the connecting groove 4 and is filled in the corresponding airbag 5, causing the airbag 5 to expand. First, the surface of the airbag 5 will abut against the bottom surface of the partition, so that the bottom surface of the partition and the front decorative strip are fitted together; at the same time, the surface of the airbag 5 The surface will abut against the surface of the abutment block 204 that has been deformed, thereby increasing the adhesion force between the abutment block 204 and the partition, and further increasing the difficulty of the front trim strip falling from the partition; then, the airbag 5 continues to expand, and the trim strip structure deforms along with the expansion of the airbag 5, causing the trim strip structure to move toward the bottom, thereby causing the inclined top plate 1. At this time, due to the deformation of the trim strip structure, the bottom surface of the top plate 1 is fitted against the top surface of the partition, and finally the trim strip structure is completed to increase its fitting area and adhesion force with the partition, ensuring that the front trim strip is not easy to fall off after being installed on the partition.

[0037] In addition, it is necessary to explain in detail how the slot hole releases its sealing relationship with the connecting slot 4 after the front decorative strip of the present solution is installed on the partition, and the two are connected to each other. Based on this, the short plate 201, the hinged plate 203 and the abutment block 204 of the present solution jointly form a connecting slot hole 7, the locking unit 6 also includes a sealing block 601, a connecting rope 602 and a sealing spring 603, the slot hole and the connecting slot 4 jointly form a through hole, the sealing block 601 is slidably arranged on the side wall of the connecting slot 4, the sealing block 601 can lock or release its sealing relationship with the through hole, the sealing spring 603 is arranged in the connecting slot 4, the two ends of the sealing spring 603 are respectively connected to the sealing block 601 and the connecting slot 4, the connecting slot hole 7 and the connecting slot 4 are connected to each other, the connecting rope 602 is arranged in the connecting slot hole 7, and the two ends of the connecting rope 602 are respectively connected to the sealing block 601 and one end of the abutment block 204. It is worth noting that the diameter of the connecting rope 602 of the present solution is consistent with the inner diameter of the connecting slot hole 7 at the hinge plate 203. When the front decorative strip is installed on the partition, the hinge plate 203 connected to the abutment block 204 is deformed and fitted to the bottom of the partition, and the hinge plate 203 is deformed. Since the hinge plate 203 is bent toward the inside of the installation slot, when the hinge plate 203 is subjected to the force of the deformation of the abutment block 204, the hinge plate 203 will be partially bent toward the outside of the installation slot, thereby causing the connecting slot hole 7 set at the position of the hinge plate 203 to deform along with the hinge plate 203, so that the actual path of the connecting slot hole 7 is increased. Since the diameter of the connecting rope 602 of the present solution is consistent with the inner diameter of the connecting slot hole 7, the connecting rope 602 set in the connecting slot hole 7 will pull the sealing block 601 to move, so that the sealing block 601 releases its sealing cooperation relationship with the through hole, and the slot hole and the connecting slot 4 are connected to each other. It should be noted that, since the diameter of the connecting rope 602 of the present scheme is consistent with the inner diameter of the connecting slot 7, the hinged plate 203 actually only partially deforms. First, the airbag 5 is pressed by an external force, so that the gas in the airbag 5 partially returns to the slot, thereby reducing the force of the airbag 5 on the partition and weakening the deformation force of the airbag 5 on the decorative strip structure, so that the decorative strip structure reduces its force and contact area on the partition, and applies a force in the direction opposite to the installation direction of the front decorative strip, so as to release the installation between the front decorative strip and the partition. At this time, since the hinged plate 203 has resumed its deformation, the sealing block 601 can be sealed with the through hole again.

[0038] In order to facilitate operators to install and disassemble the front trim strip, the short plate 201 and the hinged plate 203 of the present solution have the same length projected onto the horizontal plane, and the length of the short plate 201 is shorter than that of the long plate 202 .

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
