[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts and equipment, and in particular to an automobile A-pillar guard plate and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] A-pillar guards, located on either side of the windshield, on the inside of the bodywork, are considered interior decorative components. Installation requires not only a connection to the A-pillar sheet metal, but also a secure connection between the top and bottom ends of the guards and the interior trim panel and instrument panel, respectively. Therefore, the placement and size of the guards can impact the overall vehicle styling and interior design.

[0003] In the prior art, the connection between the cab's A-pillar guard and the A-pillar sheet metal relies solely on two bolts on the lower A-pillar guard as mounting points. The upper and lower A-pillar guards are not aligned with the roof trim panel and instrument panel, and the position of the A-pillar guards is difficult to adjust after the bolts are installed. This positioning design's poor positioning accuracy results in multiple dimensional links between the lower A-pillar guard and the roof trim panel, leading to unsatisfactory matching during actual vehicle installation and excessive gap and surface differences, resulting in defects in the interior and exterior, impacting the driving experience for vehicle occupants. Summary of the Invention

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 this application.

[0028] In the related technology, the A-pillar guard plate lacks positioning between the upper and lower end docking components during installation and is difficult to adjust later. The gap between the A-pillar lower guard plate and the roof interior panel and other components is too large, causing defects in the interior appearance and affecting the driving experience of the vehicle occupants.

[0029] First, as Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an embodiment of an automobile A-pillar guard plate, which includes: a guard plate body 1 and a one-way clamping assembly 3; wherein,

[0030] A guard plate body 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, and the upper end of the guard plate body 1 is used to fit with the top cover interior panel 8; a one-way clamping component 3 is used to be installed on the A-pillar sheet metal 2, and the one-way clamping component 3 is clamped together with the positioning protrusion 11 to keep the guard plate body 1 and the A-pillar sheet metal 2 stationary in the Y direction of the car, and can move relative to the A-pillar sheet metal 2 in the Z direction of the car to approach or move away from the top cover interior panel 8.

[0031] It should be noted that the Y direction of the above car is the left and right direction of the width of the whole car, the X direction is the front and back direction of the length of the whole car, and the Z direction of the car is the up and down direction of the height of the whole car.

[0032] It is worth noting that, in the above embodiment, a one-way clamping component 3 is provided on the A-pillar sheet metal 2 which is in contact with the guard plate body 1, and the clamping force of the one-way clamping component 3 is used to limit the displacement of the guard plate body in the Y direction of the car, while no limiting component is provided in the direction close to and away from the upper end top cover interior panel 8, so that the surface difference can be adjusted, which solves the problem in the related technology that the A-pillar guard plate is caused by factors such as component size error, resulting in excessive surface difference between components, causing defects in the interior appearance, and affecting the driving experience of the vehicle occupants.

[0033] In combination with the first aspect above, in a preferred embodiment, a Velcro connector 4 is provided on the guard plate body 1 , and the Velcro connector 4 is used to be detachably connected to the A-pillar sheet metal 2 .

[0034] It is worth noting that since the one-way clamping assembly 3 only applies clamping force and limits to the guard plate body 1 in the Y direction of the vehicle, and relies on friction for limiting in other directions, its connection strength is relatively low. In order to ensure the connection strength between the guard plate body 1 and the A-pillar sheet metal 2 and prevent the guard plate body 1 from falling off when the vehicle collides or shakes, the present application provides a Velcro connector 4 on the guard plate body 1, and utilizes the Velcro connector 4 to improve the connection strength between the two. Furthermore, in the present application, after the guard plate body 1 is initially positioned and matched with the one-way clamping assembly 3, it is also necessary to adjust the distance between the guard plate body 1 and the top cover interior panel 8 according to its initial installation position, so the guard plate body 1 needs to be moved multiple times. The Velcro connector 4 is easy to assemble and disassemble, which can facilitate the operator to quickly adjust the guard plate body 1 and improve assembly efficiency.

[0035] In combination with the above preferred embodiment, the present application provides an optional embodiment, in which the Velcro connector 4 includes: a mushroom fastener, which is attached to the surface of the guard plate body 1, and the mushroom fastener is bonded to the surface of the A-pillar sheet metal 2.

[0036] It's worth noting that mushroom fasteners are extremely easy and quick to install and remove, requiring only a gentle push or pull, without the need for tools or complicated procedures. Furthermore, thanks to their strong adhesive strength and tight fit, mushroom fasteners provide a very secure hold, suitable for a wide variety of surfaces. Furthermore, mushroom fasteners can be reused multiple times, reducing overall costs. Non-adhesive mushroom fasteners can be reused by simply pulling the mushroom head out of the fastener base.

[0037] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the one-way clamping assembly 3 includes: at least one metal clip 31; wherein,

[0038] The metal clip 31 is used to be installed on the A-pillar sheet metal 2. The metal clip 31 includes a clamping plate 311 and a metal spring 312. The clamping plate 311 is arranged to fit the positioning protrusion 11. The metal spring 312 is connected to the clamping plate 311, and the metal spring 312 is partially movable to cooperate with the clamping plate 311 to apply clamping force to the two opposite sides of the positioning protrusion 11 in the Y direction of the car.

[0039] It is worth noting that the metal spring 312 is supported by spring steel, and a 0.8 mm gap is reserved for the clamping position of the metal spring 312 of the metal clip 31 in the free state, and the thickness of the A-pillar guard plate is ensured.

[0040] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, a pre-installed guide portion 314 is connected to the clamping plate 311 of the metal clip 31 .

[0041] It is understandable that the metal clip 31 needs to be pre-installed on the A-pillar sheet metal 2 through the pre-installation guide portion 314 before use.

[0042] Furthermore, one end of the clamping plate 311 is bent to form a first installation guide portion 313 , and the first installation guide portion 313 is in contact with the positioning protrusion 11 .

[0043] It should be noted that during use, the positioning protrusion 11 first contacts the first installation guide 313 and, guided by the first installation guide 313, enters the clamping position between the metal spring 312 and the clamping plate 311. The positioning protrusion 11 is then clamped by the metal spring 312. Thus, the metal clip 31 and the mushroom buckle in the above-mentioned embodiment cooperate to fix the Y-axis position of the guard plate body 1, while the guard plate body 1 can move within the Z-axis tolerance of 3mm without interference.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the one-way clamping assembly 3 includes: three metal clips 31 , and the three metal clips 31 are used to be arranged at intervals on the A-pillar sheet metal 2 .

[0045] It is worth noting that the metal clip 31 can be set according to parameters such as the material and size of the guard plate body 1 and the A-pillar sheet metal 2, and is not limited to the three in the above embodiments.

[0046] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in order to make the force uniform and improve the connection strength, the three metal clips 31 are arranged on one side of the guard plate body 1 in the Y direction of the whole vehicle, and the Velcro connector 4 is arranged on the other side of the guard plate body 1 in the Y direction of the whole vehicle.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, the guard plate body 1 includes: a first guard plate 12 and a second guard plate 13; wherein,

[0048] The first guard plate 12 is used to fit with the A-pillar sheet metal 2; the second guard plate 13 has its upper end spliced ​​with the first guard plate 12 and its lower end used to be detachably connected to the instrument panel 5.

[0049] It is worth noting that the applicant found that the overall strength of the guard plate body 1 with an integral structure is poor and is easily damaged under extreme conditions such as collision. In order to improve the overall strength of the guard plate body 1, this application adopts a split structure.

[0050] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the first guard plate 12 , and a clamping piece is provided on the second guard plate 13 , so that the first guard plate 12 and the second guard plate 13 are overlapped and matched with each other through the clamping piece.

[0051] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, at least one holder 6 and a buckle are provided at the lower end of the second guard plate 13 , and the second guard plate 13 is positioned and matched with the instrument panel 5 through the holder 6 and is connected to the instrument panel 5 through the buckle.

[0052] It is worth noting that the clamping seat 6 plays a positioning role, and is used to perform preliminary positioning of the second guard plate 13, and then connect it through the buckle. The clamping seat 6 can position the second guard plate 13 in four directions.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to improve the positioning strength and avoid position deviation during connection, the card holder 6 is provided with a latch 7, and the card holder 6 is positioned and matched with the instrument panel 5 through the latch 7.

[0054] In a second aspect, the present application provides an automobile A-pillar structure, which includes: an automobile A-pillar guard plate, the automobile A-pillar guard plate includes: a guard plate body 1 and a one-way clamping assembly 3; wherein,

[0056] It should be noted that the Y direction of the above car is the left and right direction of the width of the whole car, the X direction is the front and back direction of the length of the whole car, and the Z direction of the car is the up and down direction of the height of the whole car.

[0057] It is worth noting that, in the above embodiment, a one-way clamping assembly 3 is provided on the A-pillar sheet metal 2 which is in contact with the guard plate body 1, and the clamping force of the one-way clamping assembly 3 is utilized to limit the displacement of the guard plate body in the Y direction of the automobile, while the surface difference can be adjusted in the direction close to and away from the upper end top cover interior panel 8, thereby solving the problem in the related art that the surface difference between the components of the A-pillar guard plate is too large due to factors such as component size errors, resulting in defects in the interior appearance and affecting the driving experience of the vehicle occupants.

The Velcro connector 4 is easy to assemble and disassemble, which can facilitate the operator to quickly adjust the guard plate body 1 and improve assembly efficiency.

[0060] In combination with the above preferred embodiment, the present application provides an optional embodiment, in which the Velcro connector 4 includes: a mushroom fastener, which is attached to the surface of the guard plate body 1, and the mushroom fastener is bonded to the surface of the A-pillar sheet metal 2.

[0065] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, a pre-installed guide portion 314 is connected to the clamping plate 311 of the metal clip 31 .

[0066] It is understandable that the metal clip 31 needs to be pre-installed on the A-pillar sheet metal 2 through the pre-installation guide portion 314 before use.

[0099] It is worth noting that the applicant found that the overall strength of the guard plate body 1 with an integral structure is poor and is easily damaged under extreme conditions such as collision. In order to improve the overall strength of the guard plate body 1, this application adopts a split structure.

[0100] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the first guard plate 12 , and a clamping piece is provided on the second guard plate 13 , so that the first guard plate 12 and the second guard plate 13 are overlapped and matched with each other through the clamping piece.

[0101] In some preferred embodiments, at least one holder 6 and a buckle are provided at the lower end of the second guard plate 13 , and the second guard plate 13 is positioned and matched with the instrument panel 5 through the holder 6 and is connected to the instrument panel 5 through the buckle.

[0102] It is worth noting that the clamping seat 6 plays a positioning role, and is used to perform preliminary positioning of the second guard plate 13, and then connect it through the buckle. The clamping seat 6 can position the second guard plate 13 in four directions.

[0103] Furthermore, in order to improve the positioning strength and avoid position deviation during connection, the card holder 6 is provided with a latch 7, and the card holder 6 is positioned and matched with the instrument panel 5 through the latch 7.

[0104] In summary, the present application sets a one-way clamping assembly on the A-pillar sheet metal that is bonded to the A-pillar guard plate, and uses the clamping force of the one-way clamping assembly to limit the displacement of the guard plate body in the Y direction of the car, while the surface difference can be adjusted in the direction close to and away from the upper end top cover interior panel, thereby solving the problem in the related art that the A-pillar guard plate is caused by factors such as component size errors, resulting in excessive surface difference between components, causing defects in the interior appearance, and affecting the driving experience of the vehicle occupants.
