Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular to a carpet seam protection structure, a carpet assembly and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] When a vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is engraved on the right front seat crossbar, regulations require that there be no covering around the engraved area. If there is a covering, the surface of the covering should be clearly marked with "Vehicle Identification Number" or "VIN" and the covering should be directly removable (or uncovered) and restored without the use of any special tools.

[0003] Since cars are usually covered with carpet during use, existing car carpets are usually provided with a U-shaped slit at the position corresponding to the VIN number to facilitate viewing of the VIN number. The word "VIN" is marked on the carpet fabric at the slit by molding or setting a label. When the VIN number needs to be viewed, the carpet inside the slit can be lifted up.

[0004] However, car carpets are usually made of pile fabrics such as needle-punched or tufted. As the use time increases, the edges of the carpets at the cuts are prone to curling and deformation, and the "VIN" lettering is also prone to gradually blurring. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a carpet slit protection structure, a carpet assembly, and an automobile to alleviate the technical problem in the prior art that automobile carpets are usually provided with a slit at the position corresponding to the VIN code, and the carpet fabric at the slit is marked with the word "VIN". As the use time increases, the carpet edge at the slit is prone to warping and deformation, and the "VIN" is also prone to gradually becoming blurred.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a carpet cut protection structure, comprising a cover plate, a first connecting member and a second connecting member; The cover plate is attached to the carpet and covers at least the closed side of the U-shaped slit on the carpet. The first connecting member is fixed to the plate surface of the cover plate facing the carpet, and the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the carpet inside the slit. The second connecting member is fixedly connected to the cover plate, and the second connecting member is detachably connected to the carpet outside the slit; The board surface of the cover board facing away from the carpet is provided with a marking area for setting characters.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple first connecting members, and the multiple first connecting members are spaced apart along the length direction of the cover plate.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, there are at least three first connecting members, and the at least three first connecting members are evenly spaced along the length direction of the cover plate.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member is cylindrical and is inserted into a through-hole on the carpet inside the slit. The first connecting member and the carpet inside the slit are fixedly connected by welding or clamping.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the side of the cover plate located outside the slit and close to the closed side of the slit is the first side, and the second connecting member is fixed to the board surface of the cover plate facing away from the carpet and is arranged close to the first side.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the second connecting member is a buckle that can be bonded to the carpet.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the length of the cover plate is greater than the length of the closed side of the slit along a direction parallel to the closed side of the slit, so that the cover plate at least partially covers the slit edges on both sides of the closed side of the slit.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, a side of the cover plate facing away from the carpet is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a carpet assembly, comprising the carpet seam protection structure according to any one of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0015] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a car, comprising the carpet assembly according to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0016] The carpet slit protection structure provided by the present invention includes a cover plate, a first connector, and a second connector. The cover plate is attached to the carpet and covers at least the closed side of the U-shaped slit on the carpet. The first connector is fixed to the surface of the cover plate facing the carpet and is fixedly connected to the carpet on the inner side of the slit. The second connector is fixedly connected to the cover plate and is detachably connected to the carpet on the outer side of the slit. The surface of the cover plate facing away from the carpet is provided with a marking area for setting characters. The carpet slit protection structure provided by the present invention is applied to automotive carpets to protect slits on the carpet that facilitate viewing of the VIN code. During use, the word "VIN" can be first fixed to the marking area of ​​the cover plate by engraving or other means, and then the cover plate can be attached to the carpet using the first connector, while ensuring that the marking area of ​​the cover plate faces away from the carpet and that the cover plate covers at least the closed side of the slit on the carpet. When the VIN code beneath the carpet inside the slit is not required, the cover plate can be connected to the carpet outside the slit via the second connector. Since the first connector is fixedly connected to the carpet inside the slit, the first and second connectors can cooperate to stably secure the cover plate to the carpet inside and outside the slit, respectively, thereby effectively protecting the carpet edge at the slit covered by the cover plate. It should be noted that since the closed side of the slit is typically used as the open side when observing the VIN code, the carpet inside the slit is lifted. Therefore, covering the closed side of the slit with the cover plate reinforces the carpet edge at the slit, effectively preventing the carpet edge at the slit from warping and deformation. It should also be noted that by providing the "VIN" logo in the identification area of ​​the cover plate, the present invention not only complies with regulatory requirements but also, compared to carpets made of pile fabric, the cover plate is more conducive to extending the service life of the characters, making them less prone to blurring and deformation. When the VIN code under the carpet inside the slit needs to be observed, since the second connecting piece and the carpet are detachably connected, the second connecting piece can be separated from the carpet first, and then the carpet inside the slit and the cover plate can be opened together with the closed side of the slit to observe the VIN code under the carpet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the carpet seam protection structure provided by the present invention utilizes a cover plate to cover at least the closed side of the carpet seam, thereby reinforcing the carpet edge at the seam to prevent the carpet edge at the seam from warping and deformation. In addition, the carpet seam protection structure can improve the setting position of the "VIN" characters through the marking area of ​​the cover plate. Compared with the carpet, the cover plate is more conducive to extending the service life of the characters, making the characters less likely to become blurred and deformed.

[0018] The carpet assembly provided by the present invention includes the above-mentioned carpet seam protection structure, so the carpet assembly has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned carpet seam protection structure.

[0019] The automobile provided by the present invention includes the carpet assembly, and thus the automobile has the same beneficial effects as the carpet assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0026] Example: like Figures 1-6 As shown, the carpet slit protection structure provided in this embodiment includes a cover plate 1, a first connecting member 2, and a second connecting member 3; the cover plate 1 is attached to the carpet 4 and covers at least the closed side 400 of the U-shaped slit 40 on the carpet 4, the first connecting member 2 is fixed to the plate surface of the cover plate 1 facing the carpet 4, and the first connecting member 2 is fixedly connected to the carpet 4 on the inner side of the slit 40; the second connecting member 3 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 1, and the second connecting member 3 is detachably connected to the carpet 4 on the outer side of the slit 40; the plate surface of the cover plate 1 facing away from the carpet 4 is provided with an identification area 10 for setting characters.

[0027] The carpet slit protection structure provided in this embodiment is applied to a car carpet 4 to protect a slit 40 provided on the carpet 4 for viewing the VIN code. Specifically, since the VIN code of a car is engraved on the right front seat crossbeam, the carpet 4 is usually the front carpet 4 of the car. Figure 2 As shown, the word "VIN" can be fixed on the identification area 10 of the cover plate 1 by engraving or other methods, and then Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 1 is fitted and fixed to the carpet 4 by the first connecting member 2 , while ensuring that the identification area 10 of the cover plate 1 faces away from the carpet 4 and that the cover plate 1 at least covers the closed side 400 of the cut 40 on the carpet 4 .

[0028] When it is not necessary to observe the VIN code below the carpet 4 inside the slit 40, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 1 can be connected to the carpet 4 outside the slit 40 by the second connecting member 3. Since the first connecting member 2 is fixedly connected to the carpet 4 inside the slit 40, the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 can cooperate with each other on the inside and outside of the slit 40 to stably fix the cover plate 1 on the carpet 4, thereby effectively protecting the edge of the carpet 4 at the slit 40 covered by the cover plate 1.

[0029] It should be noted that, since the closed side 400 of the slit 40 is usually used as the open side when observing the VIN code, the carpet 4 inside the slit 40 is lifted up. Therefore, the cover plate 1 covers the closed side 400 of the slit 40 to reinforce the edge of the carpet 4 at the slit 40, effectively preventing the edge of the carpet 4 at the slit 40 from warping and deformation, thereby effectively improving the appearance quality of the carpet 4.

[0030] It should also be noted that this embodiment sets the "VIN" word in the identification area 10 of the cover plate 1, which not only complies with regulatory requirements, but also, compared with the carpet 4 made of pile fabric, the cover plate 1 is more conducive to extending the service life of the characters, making the characters less likely to blur and deform.

[0031] When it is necessary to observe the VIN code below the carpet 4 inside the slit 40, since the second connecting member 3 and the carpet 4 are detachably connected, the second connecting member 3 can be separated from the carpet 4 first, and then the carpet 4 inside the slit 40 and the cover plate 1 can be opened together with the closed side 400 of the slit 40 as the opening side, so that the VIN code below the carpet 4 can be observed.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the carpet seam protection structure provided in this embodiment utilizes the cover plate 1 to cover at least the closed side 400 of the seam 40 on the carpet 4, thereby reinforcing the edge of the carpet 4 at the seam 40 to prevent the edge of the carpet 4 at the seam 40 from warping and deformation. In addition, the carpet seam protection structure can improve the setting position of the "VIN" character through the identification area 10 of the cover plate 1. Compared with the carpet 4, the cover plate 1 is more conducive to extending the service life of the character, making the character less likely to become blurred or deformed.

[0033] In order to further improve the service life of the characters on the cover plate 1, in this embodiment, the cover plate 1 is preferably made of a hard material such as plastic, silicone, etc. that is harder than the fleece fabric.

[0034] In this embodiment, the thickness of the cover plate 1 gradually decreases from its center toward the sides. In this case, the cover plate 1 is thick in the middle and thin at the sides, which can make the sides of the cover plate 1 fit more closely with the carpet 4 and make the cover plate 1 less likely to be kicked off during use.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first connecting members 2 , and the multiple first connecting members 2 are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the cover plate 1 .

[0036] When there are multiple first connecting members 2 and they are spaced apart along the length direction of the cover plate 1 , the connection points between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4 can be increased along the length direction of the cover plate 1 , thereby effectively improving the connection stability between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4 .

[0037] Furthermore, there are at least three first connecting members 2 , and the at least three first connecting members 2 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the cover plate 1 .

[0038] When at least three first connecting members 2 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the cover plate 1, not only can the connection strength between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4 be further improved, but also the distribution uniformity of the connection points between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4 can be effectively improved, thereby effectively improving the connection effect between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting member 2 is cylindrical and is inserted into a hole on the carpet 4 inside the slit 40 . The first connecting member 2 and the carpet 4 inside the slit 40 are fixedly connected by welding or clamping.

[0040] The first connecting member 2 passing through the through hole on the carpet 4 can not only increase the connection area between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4, but also limit the multiple first connecting members 2 to each other, thereby further effectively improving the connection strength between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4.

[0041] When the first connecting member 2 and the carpet 4 are fixed by a snap connection, a plurality of snaps may be provided on the circumferential side of the end of the first connecting member 2 away from the cover plate 1, and the plurality of snaps are sequentially distributed along the circumference of the first connecting member 2, and one end of the snap is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 2, and the other end is suspended and located between the end of the first connecting member 2 away from the cover plate 1 and the cover plate 1; the snap is arc-shaped, and from the end where the snap is connected to the first connecting member 2 to the suspended end, the snap protrudes in the direction away from the first connecting member 2; the snap is used to play a guiding role in the process of the first connecting member 2 passing through the through-hole on the carpet 4, and after the end of the first connecting member 2 away from the cover plate 1 passes through the through-hole of the carpet 4, it abuts against the side of the carpet 4 facing away from the cover plate 1, at this time, the suspended end of the snap abuts against the side of the carpet 4 facing away from the cover plate 1, and under the abutting action, the snap can open outward, further stably abutting the carpet 4 against the plate surface of the cover plate 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the side of the cover plate 1 located outside the slit 40 and close to the closed side 400 of the slit 40 is the first side 11, and the second connecting member 3 is fixed to the board surface of the cover plate 1 facing away from the carpet 4 and is arranged close to the first side 11.

[0043] The second connecting member 3 is fixed to the surface of the cover plate 1 facing away from the carpet 4. The cover plate 1 can be used to shield the second connecting member 3, which not only protects the second connecting member 3 but also improves the appearance quality of the carpet cutting protection structure.

[0044] Arranging the second connecting member 3 close to the first side edge 11 facilitates connection of the second connecting member 3 to the carpet 4 outside the slit 40 , thereby improving the usability of the carpet slit protection structure.

[0045] In practical applications, the second connecting member 3 may be a magnetic buckle. In this case, the position of the carpet 4 corresponding to the second connecting member 3 may be provided with a metal piece that can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic buckle.

[0046] Alternatively, the second connecting member 3 is a buckle that can be bonded to the carpet 4 .

[0047] The fastener that can be bonded to the carpet 4 is a nylon hook tape in Velcro. Since the material of the car carpet 4 is usually a pile fabric such as needle-punched or tufted, when the second connecting member 3 is a nylon hook tape, the material of the carpet 4 itself can be used to achieve a detachable connection between the second connecting member 3 and the carpet 4, and there is no need to set other structures compatible with the second connecting member 3 on the carpet 4, thereby effectively saving materials and improving the installation convenience of the carpet cutting protection structure.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, along the direction parallel to the closed side 400 of the slit 40, the length of the cover plate 1 is greater than the length of the closed side 400 of the slit 40, so that the cover plate 1 at least partially covers the edges of the slit 40 on both sides of the closed side 400 of the slit 40. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the carpet cutting protection structure and the partial carpet 4 cut along the width direction of the cover plate 1. Figure 6 It is a cross-sectional view of the carpet cutting protection structure and a part of the carpet 4 cut along the length direction of the cover plate 1.

[0049] The closed side 400 of the slit 40 is taken as the horizontal side as the reference, and the edges of the slit 40 on both sides of the closed side 400 of the slit 40 refer to the two vertical sides of the slit 40, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the length of the cover plate 1 is greater than the length of the closed side 400 of the slit 40, the two sides of the cover plate 1 can respectively extend to the two vertical sides of the slit 40 and cover the two vertical sides of the slit 40, thereby increasing the covering area of ​​the cover plate 1 on the slit 40 and further improving the protection effect of the carpet slit protection structure on the slit 40.

[0050] In order to prevent the cover plate 1 from being too wide and hindering the lifting process of the carpet 4 inside the slit 40 , in this embodiment, the width of the cover plate 1 is preferably not greater than the length of the vertical side of the slit 40 .

[0051] In addition, in order to improve the shielding effect of the cover plate 1 on the closed side 400 of the slit 40 , in this embodiment, the length of the cover plate 1 is preferably 5-10 mm greater than the length of the closed side 400 of the slit 40 .

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the side of the cover plate 1 facing away from the carpet 4 is provided with reinforcement ribs 12 .

[0053] The reinforcing ribs 12 can not only increase the friction between the cover plate 1 and the carpet 4 , thereby improving the installation stability of the cover plate 1 on the carpet 4 , but also improve the structural strength of the cover plate 1 .

[0054] Furthermore, there can be multiple reinforcing ribs 12, and at least one reinforcing rib 12 extends along the length direction of the cover plate 1, and at least one reinforcing rib 12 extends along the width direction of the cover plate 1. At this time, multiple reinforcing ribs 12 can further enhance their effect on improving the structural strength of the cover plate 1.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also provides a carpet assembly, which includes the above-mentioned carpet cutting seam protection structure. Therefore, the carpet assembly and the above-mentioned carpet cutting seam protection structure can solve the same technical effects and achieve the same technical effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] This embodiment also provides a car, which includes the above-mentioned carpet assembly. Therefore, the car and the above-mentioned carpet assembly can solve the same technical effects and achieve the same technical effects, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
