The snap-fit ​​suspension can be between 6mm and 6.5mm, and the overall length can be between 10mm and 14mm.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a third mounting portion 1212 may be formed on the inner plate 121. The third mounting portion 1212 may be disposed through the thickness direction of the inner plate 121. A fourth mounting portion may be formed on the shell 111. The fourth mounting portion may be correspondingly disposed and cooperate with the third mounting portion 1212. It is understood that by cooperating the third mounting portion 1212 and the fourth mounting portion, the inner plate 121 and the shell 111 can be fixedly connected. Optionally, the third mounting portion 1212 and the fourth mounting portion may be detachably connected by screws or bolts, or the third mounting portion 1212 and the fourth mounting portion may be connected by snap-fit ​​or plug-in. To form a detachable connection, specifically, mounting holes are formed on both the third mounting part 1212 and the fourth mounting part. The third mounting part 1212 and the fourth mounting part are connected by passing bolts through them. Furthermore, there can be multiple third mounting parts 1212, which can be spaced apart along the width direction. Similarly, there can be multiple fourth mounting parts, which can be arranged and connected one-to-one with the multiple third mounting parts 1212. By providing multiple third mounting parts 1212 and multiple fourth mounting parts, the connection strength between the inner plate 121 and the shell 111 can be improved.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a first positioning part 1213 may be formed on the inner plate 121, and a second positioning part may be formed on the shell 111. The second positioning part may be correspondingly arranged and cooperate with the first positioning part 1213. By cooperating with the first positioning part 1213 and the second positioning part, the inner plate 121 and the shell 111 can be limited to a certain position, so as to facilitate the subsequent fixed connection between the inner plate 121 and the shell 111. Furthermore, there may be multiple first positioning parts 1213, which may be arranged at intervals. Similarly, there may be multiple second positioning parts, which may be arranged one-to-one with the multiple first positioning parts 1213. By setting multiple first positioning parts 1213 and multiple second positioning parts, the positioning effect between the inner plate 121 and the shell 111 can be improved. In some embodiments, the first positioning part 1213 may be configured as one of a positioning pin and a positioning hole, and the second positioning part may be configured as the other of a positioning pin and a positioning hole. By inserting the positioning pin through the positioning hole, the outer wall of the positioning pin abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole, thereby positioning the inner plate 121 and the housing 111.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a water leakage hole 1214 can be formed on the inner panel 121 through the thickness direction. There can be multiple water leakage holes 1214, and the multiple water leakage holes 1214 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle. The water leakage holes 1214 can facilitate drainage and prevent water accumulation on the upper trim panel 12 in rainy weather.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a limiting groove 1121 recessed along the length direction of the vehicle can be formed on the face mask 112, and an extension 1221 can be formed on the outer plate 122. The extension 1221 can extend into the limiting groove 1121 and abut against the inner wall of the limiting groove 1121. By abutting the extension 1221 against the inner wall of the limiting groove 1121, the limiting between the outer plate 122 and the face mask 112 can be achieved, and the gap between the outer plate 122 and the face mask 112 can be eliminated, improving the overall aesthetics. The upper surface of the outer plate 122 can be provided with multiple vertical reinforcing ribs, and the material thickness of the reinforcing ribs can be between 0.5mm and 0.9mm to ensure that the appearance of the outer plate 122 is free of shrinkage marks.

[0034] Furthermore, the number of extensions 1221 can be multiple, and the multiple extensions 1221 can be spaced apart along the width direction. Similarly, the number of limiting grooves 1121 can also be multiple, and the multiple limiting grooves 1121 can be arranged one-to-one with the multiple extensions 1221. The extensions 1221 can abut against the inner walls of the limiting grooves 1121 along the height or width direction, or the extensions 1221 can abut against the inner walls of the limiting grooves 1121 along both the height and width directions, thereby achieving the limiting of the outer plate 122 and the face mask 112. The length can be between 6.5mm and 7mm, and the thickness of the extension 1221 can be between 2mm and 2.5mm. One of the extensions 1221 can serve as a limit in the width direction, with a gap of 0.04mm to 0.06mm reserved on both sides of the extension 1221. The gaps on both sides of the remaining extensions 1221 can be between 2.7mm and 3.3mm. The extensions 1221 on both sides along the width direction can serve as a limit in the height direction, with a reserved space of 0.3mm to 0.5mm in the height direction to ensure convenient installation.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this application, an extension plate 1222 may be formed on the outer plate 122. The extension plate 1222 may extend toward the face mask 112, and a first snap-fit ​​portion 1223 may be formed on the extension plate 1222. A second snap-fit ​​portion 1122 may be formed on the face mask 112. The second snap-fit ​​portion 1122 may cooperate with the first snap-fit ​​portion 1223. The first snap-fit ​​portion 1223 may be configured as a snap-fit ​​groove, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 1122 may be configured as a snap-fit ​​protrusion. By engaging the snap-fit ​​protrusion with the snap-fit ​​groove, the snap-fit ​​protrusion is received within the snap-fit ​​groove, and the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​protrusion abuts against the inner surface of the snap-fit ​​groove to restrict the movement of the snap-fit ​​protrusion, thereby allowing the outer plate 122 to be mounted on the face mask 112.
