[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] This embodiment relates to a trailer hook cover, which provides a cover structure suitable for covering the trailer hook window 20 provided at the bumper parting seam 4 of a split bumper; an exemplary structure thereof is as follows Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0040] Generally speaking, the trailer hook cover 3 includes an upper cover 31 and a lower cover 32 that are separately arranged. The upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 are spliced ​​together, and a cover parting seam 30 is formed between the upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 on the side of the trailer hook cover 3 facing the outside of the vehicle.

[0041] There are many options for installing the trailer hook cover 3 in the trailer hook window 20. For example, screws can be used for installation and fixation. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the edge of the trailer hook cover 3 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the trailer hook cover 3 is snap-fitted into the trailer hook window 20 on the bumper through the snap-fit ​​structure. The trailer hook cover 3 is installed in a snap-fit ​​manner, which has the characteristics of easy installation and disassembly.

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 3 Combined with Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure of this embodiment includes a snap-fit ​​head 310 disposed at the top of the upper cover plate 31 and a first snap-fit ​​tongue 320 disposed at the bottom of the lower cover plate 32. The snap-fit ​​head 310 is positioned inside the upper frame 10 of the trailer hook window 20, while the first snap-fit ​​tongue 320 is hooked onto the lower frame 200 of the trailer hook window 20. With the snap-fit ​​head 310 disposed at the top of the upper cover plate 31 and the first snap-fit ​​tongue 320 disposed at the bottom of the lower cover plate 32, when installing the trailer hook cover plate 3, the snap-fit ​​head 310 can be first inserted into the inner side of the upper frame 10 of the trailer hook window 20. Then, the bottom of the trailer hook cover plate 3 is pressed into the trailer hook window 20. The elastic deformation of the first snap-fit ​​tongue 320 allows the first snap-fit ​​tongue 320 to pass over the lower frame 200 of the trailer hook window 20 and be hooked onto the lower frame 200. The entire installation process is simple and efficient, and the installation and connection of the trailer hook cover plate 3 to the trailer hook window 20 is stable and reliable.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of abutment platforms 311 are provided at intervals along the edge of the trailer hook cover 3. As the trailer hook cover 3 is inserted into the trailer hook window 20, each abutment platform 311 abuts against the frame of the trailer hook window 20. The plurality of abutment platforms 311 provided along the edge of the trailer hook cover 3 abut against the frame of the trailer hook window 20, thereby enhancing the secure installation of the trailer hook cover 3 within the trailer hook window 20.

[0044] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the trailer hook cover 3 is provided with an anti-slip hook 315. The anti-slip hook 315 comprises a connecting section extending from the inner edge of the trailer hook cover 3 toward the interior of the bumper, and a hook at the end of the connecting section. The hook is used to connect the hook to the bumper. Preferably, the anti-slip hook 315 is positioned at the top corner of the upper cover 31. By providing the anti-slip hook 315 on the trailer hook cover 3, when the trailer hook window 20 needs to be opened to use the trailer hook, the trailer hook cover 3 can be removed from the trailer hook window 20 and hung on the bumper using the anti-slip hook 315, eliminating the need to separately retract the trailer hook cover 3 and preventing loss of the trailer hook cover 3.

[0045] In addition, an installation mark 324 can be provided in the middle of the outer side of the lower cover plate 32. The installation mark 324 can be a downward-pointing triangular recessed mark. The installation mark 324 can be used to facilitate the installation of the trailer hook cover plate 3 in the correct direction and posture so that the trailer hook cover plate 3 can be inserted into the trailer hook window 20.

[0046] There are of course many options for the installation between the lower cover plate 32 and the upper cover plate 31; for example, welding, screwing, etc. can be used. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 31 comprises a panel portion and a snap-fit ​​portion connected to each other, with the lower cover 32 snapped onto the snap-fit ​​portion. A cover parting seam 30 is formed between the panel portion and the lower cover 32. The upper cover 31 is designed as a panel portion and a snap-fit ​​portion, which are used to mate with the upper body 1 and accommodate the lower cover 32, respectively. The rational functional zoning provides excellent conditions for the corresponding arrangement of the upper cover 31 and the upper body 1, and the corresponding arrangement of the lower cover 32 and the lower body 2.

[0047] Specifically, the clamping portion is provided with a clamping hole 312, and the lower cover 32 is provided with a second clamping tongue 321, with a hook formed at the end of the second clamping tongue 321. The second clamping tongue 321 is inserted into the clamping hole 312, and the hook is hooked onto the plate body on one side of the clamping hole 312. By providing the clamping hole 312 in the clamping portion and the second clamping tongue 321 on the lower cover 32, the lower cover 32 can be conveniently clamped and installed on the upper cover 31, making the assembly of the trailer hook cover 3 convenient and efficient. Preferably, in this embodiment, two clamping holes 312 are spaced apart, and of course, two second clamping tongues 321 are also provided to improve the secure connection of the lower cover 32 to the clamping portion.

[0048] Based on the above settings, if Figure 7As shown, a shoulder 316 may be further provided on the plate body on the other side of the hole 312 relative to the side hooked by the hook of the second latch 321, and the shoulder 316 is tightly pressed against the second latch 321 inserted into the hole 312. By providing the shoulder 316 on one side of the hole 312 and pressing the shoulder 316 against the second latch 321, the hook of the second latch 321 is prevented from detaching from the plate body, thereby effectively improving the connection strength between the second latch 321 and the hole 312.

[0049] In addition, on the basis of the clamping, the connection between the lower cover plate 32 and the upper cover plate 31 can also be reinforced by screwing. Figure 3 As shown, the clamping portion is provided with a connecting bracket 313, which is provided with a connecting hole 314. Furthermore, the lower cover 32 is provided with a connecting platform 322 that can be inserted into the connecting bracket 313, and a screw hole 323 corresponding to the connecting hole 314 is provided on the connecting platform 322. The trailer hook cover 3 also includes a screw member 5 that passes through the connecting hole 314 and is screwed into the screw hole 323. By using the screw member 5 to achieve a screwed connection between the lower cover 32 and the clamping portion, the connection between the upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 is further strengthened.

[0050] To sum up, the trailer hook cover plate of this embodiment, the trailer hook cover plate 3 is set up separately, and the upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 can adopt different materials and colors. For the case where the bumper is a split structure with upper and lower parts and there is a bumper parting seam 4 at the trailer hook window 20, the cover plate parting seam 30 between the upper cover plate 31 and the lower cover plate 32 can correspond to the bumper parting seam 4 on a straight line, so that the upper cover plate 31 corresponds to the upper body 1 of the bumper and adopts the same color and material, and the lower cover plate 32 corresponds to the lower body 2 of the bumper and adopts the same color and material, making the overall appearance of the bumper more standardized and beautiful, avoiding the situation where the bumper parting seam 4 is blocked by the trailer hook cover plate 3 and appears abrupt, thereby providing a cover plate structure suitable for covering the trailer hook window 20 set at the bumper parting seam 4 of the split bumper.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, the bumper of which is provided with a trailer hook cover provided in the first embodiment; an exemplary structure thereof is as follows Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown.

[0053] It should be noted that the trailer hook cover plate 3 can be arranged on the front bumper or on the rear bumper of the rear anti-collision beam. The main thing is that the bumper is a split structure and has a bumper parting seam 4 passing through the trailer hook window 20.

[0054] Specifically, the vehicle bumper of this embodiment includes an upper body 1 and a lower body 2 joined together, with a bumper parting seam 4 formed between the upper and lower bodies 1 and 2. The bumper also includes a trailer hook window 20 located above the bumper parting seam 4. The trailer hook cover 3 is mounted within the trailer hook window 20, and the cover parting seam 30 on the trailer hook cover 3 is connected to the bumper parting seams 4 on both sides of the trailer hook cover 3, forming a uniform gap located on the same straight line.

[0055] In this way, the overall appearance of the bumper is rich and beautiful, with a good visual experience. The upper body 1 and the lower body 2 can be made of different colors or materials. The upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 of the trailer hook cover 3 are also designed to be split up and down accordingly. The upper cover 31 forms a consistent appearance with the upper body 1, and the lower cover 32 forms a consistent appearance with the lower body 2. The bumper parting seam 4 and the cover parting seam 30 are connected, making the entire parting gap look complete and smooth, avoiding the problem of the bumper parting seam 4 being interrupted by the trailer hook cover 3, causing the trailer hook cover 3 to be abrupt. It not only meets the requirements for disassembly and assembly of the trailer hook cover 3 when the trailer hook is taken out, but also solves the aesthetic problem of the trailer hook cover 3 covering the trailer hook window 20 when the trailer hook is not needed.

[0056] The above-mentioned trailer hook cover 3 design structure can be applied to various types of vehicles such as SUVs and MPVs, and can meet the requirements for covering the trailer hook window 20 of various trailer hook windows 20 at the bumper parting seam 4 between the upper body 1 and the lower body 2 of the bumper, and has strong scalability.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
