The term "upper" refers to a direction generally away from the board; the term "lower" refers to a direction generally toward the board.

[0051] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body 10 and a battery 11 disposed in the vehicle body 10. The battery 11 can be used to supply power to various electrical devices of the vehicle when the vehicle 1 is started.

[0052] Figure 2 The structure of the battery 11 is schematically shown. Figure 2 As shown, the battery 11 includes a shell 110 and a battery cell assembly 111 disposed in the shell 110. The shell 110 is used to carry and protect the battery cell assembly 111. The battery cell assembly 111 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The shell 110 includes a shell body 112 and a decorative panel 2 matching the shell body 112, and the decorative panel 2 can be used as a cover to be installed on the shell body 112. The decorative panel 2 can also be removed from the shell body 112 to facilitate maintenance of the battery cell assembly 111. It should be understood that the decorative panel 2 of the present application can also be used in other components of the vehicle 1 (for example, doors). For simplicity, in the present application, the decorative panel 2 is described by taking the battery 11 as an example.

[0053] Next, the decorative plate 2 will be described.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative plate 2 includes a plate body 20, two doghouse structures 30 constructed on the plate body 20, and an elastic member 40 installed in each doghouse structure 30. It should be understood that the number of the doghouse structures 30 can also be one or more than two, which is not limited here.

[0055] In one embodiment, the plate body 20 is generally in the shape of a flat plate and forms a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape together with the shell body 112 (eg Figure 2 shown).

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the doghouse structure 30 includes a side plate 310 extending in a vertical direction Z, a horizontal top plate 320 and a horizontal bearing plate 330. The top plate 320 and the bearing plate 330 are both connected to the side plate 310. For example, the top plate 320 is connected to the upper edge 312 of the side plate 310. The bearing plate 330 is located below the top plate 320 and is connected to the middle of the side plate 310 in the vertical direction Z (it should be understood that the "middle of the side plate 310 in the vertical direction Z" described here is a position that deviates from the upper edge 312 and the lower edge 313 of the side plate 310). From the overall point of view, the bearing plate 330 is located between the top plate 320 and the plate body 20, so that the side plate 310 includes a first plate portion 314 above the bearing plate 330 and a second plate portion 315 below the bearing plate 330. The top plate 320, the bearing plate 330 and the first plate portion 314 define a first space 301. A first opening 321 is configured on the top plate 320 , and the first opening 321 communicates with the first space 301 .

[0057] Also like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic member 40 includes a main body 410 and an extension 420 extending from the main body 410. The main body 410 is disposed in the first space 301, and a lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 abuts against the bearing plate 330; the extension 420 extends out of the first opening 321.

[0058] According to the decorative plate 2 of the present application, after the decorative plate 2 is installed on the shell body 112 of the battery 11, the extension portion 420 of the elastic member 40 abuts against the cell assembly 111 of the battery 11. In addition, the elastic member 40 is in the doghouse structure 30 in a compressed form along the vertical direction Z, and the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 abuts against the supporting plate 330. In this way, there is a large friction force between the lower end surface 411 of the elastic member 40 (or the main body 410) and the supporting plate 330, which helps to stably maintain the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30. Therefore, when the battery 11 or the vehicle 1 vibrates, the elastic member 40 will not be displaced or fall out of the doghouse structure 30, thereby helping to stably install the decorative plate 2 on the shell body 112 of the battery 11.

[0059] In addition, the lower end surface 411 of the elastic member 40 (or the main body 410) abuts against the supporting plate 330. In other words, the contact area between the elastic member 40 and the supporting plate 330 is large, which also helps to stably maintain the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30.

[0060] Optionally, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the side plate 310 is also provided with a second opening 311, and the second opening 311 extends downward from the upper edge 312 of the side plate 310 along the vertical direction Z. For example, the second opening 311 may extend to the lower edge 313 of the side plate 310. Overall, the side plate 310 forms a substantially semi-enclosed structure. The second opening 311 is also connected to the first space 301. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the edge 325 of the first opening 321 near the second opening 311 is configured with a notch 322 (at Figure 5 321 is connected to the doghouse structure 30 by a notch 322. In general, the edge 325 of the first opening 321 is an open curve. In this case, the size of the notch 322 is smaller than the lateral size of the main body 410. For example, the size of the notch 322 is smaller than the diameter of the main body 410. In this way, even if the elastic member 40 is slightly displaced in the doghouse structure 30, it is difficult for the main body 410 to automatically move through the notch 322, so that the elastic member 40 will not leave the doghouse structure 30. In one embodiment, the size of the notch 322 is 12mm, and the diameter of the main body 410 is 18mm. Of course, the notch 322 and the main body 410 can also be constructed as other sizes according to actual conditions, which is not limited here. It should be understood that since the size of the notch 322 is smaller than the lateral size of the main body 410, when the elastic member 40 is installed in the doghouse structure 30, the main body 410 needs to be compressed laterally to pass through the notch 322.

[0061] Optionally, Figure 5As shown, the edges of the notch 322 are all configured with guide slopes 324. Thus, when the elastic member 40 is installed, the guide slopes 324 guide the movement of the main body 410, so as to facilitate the insertion of the main body 410 into the first space 301.

[0062] Optionally, Figure 5 As shown, the lateral dimension of the second opening 311 is substantially equal to the lateral dimension of the first space 301. In this way, the main body 410 of the elastic member 40 can be conveniently disposed in the first space 301. In other embodiments, the lateral dimension of the second opening 311 can also be slightly smaller than the lateral dimension of the first space 301, so as to help prevent the main body 410 from escaping from the first space 301.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the transverse dimension of the main body 410 is greater than the transverse dimension of the extension 420. For example, the main body 410 and the extension 420 are both substantially cylindrical, so that the diameter of the main body 410 is greater than the diameter of the extension 420. In this way, a shoulder 412 is formed between the main body 410 and the extension 420. Figure 4 As shown, the top plate 320 has a lateral pressing portion 323 surrounding the first opening 321. In this way, when the elastic member 40 is installed in the doghouse structure 30, the main body 410 is in the first space 301, and the shoulder 412 abuts against the pressing portion 323; the extension portion 420 extends out of the first opening 321. In this case, the pressing portion 323 (or the top plate 320) constrains the main body 410 (or the elastic member 40) along the vertical direction Z, and compresses the main body 410 along the vertical direction Z. As a result, the friction between the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 and the bearing plate 330 is greater, which helps to keep the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30 more stably.

[0064] In one embodiment, when the elastic member 40 is in a relaxed state, the vertical dimension of the main body 410 is slightly larger than the vertical dimension of the first space 301. Thus, after the main body 410 is placed in the first space 301, the top plate 320 will press the main body 410 along the vertical direction Z, so that the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 abuts against the bearing plate 330. It should be understood that the vertical dimensions of the main body 410 and the first space 301 can be determined according to actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figure 8As shown, the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 is configured with at least one protrusion 413. After the main body 410 is set in the first space 301, the protrusion 413 abuts against the bearing plate 330. This helps to further increase the friction between the main body 410 and the bearing plate 330, thereby helping to more stably maintain the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30. In the present application, the form of the protrusion 413 can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the top plate 320 is substantially parallel to the bearing plate 330 . In this way, the main body 410 of the elastic member 40 is uniformly compressed by the top plate 320 along the vertical direction Z, which helps to improve the stability of the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30 .

[0067] In one embodiment, the elastic member 40 may be made of materials such as styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber, so as to be suitable for being compressed. In one embodiment, the elastic member 40 is a hollow structure, so as to further make the elastic member 40 suitable for being compressed.

[0068] Optionally, a friction pattern is configured on the upper surface of the bearing plate 330 that contacts the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410. This helps to further improve the friction between the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 and the bearing plate 330, thereby further improving the stability of the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30. Those skilled in the art can select an appropriate friction pattern according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.

[0069] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, a convex rib 313 is configured on the inner surface of the first plate portion 314. The circumferential outer surface of the main body portion 410 abuts against the convex rib 313. In this way, the friction between the main body portion 410 and the first plate portion 314 (or the side plate 310) is also relatively large, so as to further help the stability of the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30. In one embodiment, the convex rib 313 can extend generally along the vertical direction Z to further increase the friction between the main body portion 410 of the elastic member 40 and the side plate 310. Of course, the convex rib 313 can also be configured into other friction patterns, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] Also like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the bearing plate 330, the second plate portion 315 and the plate body 20 define the second space 302. Three vertical plates 303 are arranged in the second space 320, and the three vertical plates 303 are arranged at intervals. The two ends of each vertical plate 303 are respectively connected to the bearing plate 330 and the plate body 20. According to this structure, these vertical plates 303 play a supporting role for the bearing plate 330. When the decorative plate 2 is installed, even if the bearing plate 330 is compressed, it will not be greatly bent and deformed, but will remain in a state substantially parallel to the top plate 320. As a result, the lower end surface 411 of the main body 410 of the elastic member 40 will remain in contact with the bearing plate 330, thereby helping to stably maintain the elastic member 40 in the doghouse structure 30. It should be noted that the second opening 311 is also connected to the second space 302.

[0071] In one embodiment, the number of the vertical plates 303 may be one or more, which may be set according to actual conditions and will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In one embodiment, an adhesive may be used to bond the elastic member 40 to the carrier plate 330 and / or the side plate 310. Screws may also be used to fix the elastic member 40 to the carrier plate 330. The specific details are not repeated here.

[0073] In one embodiment, the doghouse structure 30 (including the side panels 310 , the top panel 320 , the load-bearing panel 330 , and the vertical panel 303 ) is integrally injection-molded with the panel body 20 , which facilitates the manufacture of the decorative panel 2 .

[0074] Figure 6 Schematically shows another embodiment of a doghouse structure 30. Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the bearing plate 330 near the second opening 311 is configured with a flange 331 extending vertically upward. According to this structure, the flange 331 blocks the elastic member 40 to prevent the elastic member 40 from escaping from the doghouse structure 30. It should be understood that the vertical extension size of the flange 331 can be determined according to actual conditions, but should not cause a large obstacle to the arrangement of the elastic member 40.

[0075] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
