DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0032] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0034] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 The easy-to-install automobile interior trim shown includes an interior trim strip body 1, and the inner side surface of the interior trim strip body 1 is fixedly connected with multiple connecting parts 3. The interior trim strip body 1 is fixed to the automobile center control panel by connecting with the multiple connecting parts 3 and the preset dovetail-shaped blind holes on the automobile center control panel.

[0036] A three-dimensional decorative part 2 is arranged on the top of the interior trim body 1. The three-dimensional decorative part 2 is a structure protruding upward. The shapes of the interior trim body 1 and the three-dimensional decorative part 2 can be customized according to customer needs to meet the individual needs of customers.

[0037] Specifically, the connecting member 3 includes: a quadrilateral frame, a movable plate 307 , a triangular block 309 and a vertical push rod 3011 .

[0038] Among them, a connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected at the top corner of the quadrilateral frame, and the connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the interior trim strip body 1. The connecting plate 305 and the interior trim strip body 1 can be integrally formed, or the connecting plate 305 and the interior trim strip body 1 can be separately injection molded, and then fixed by ultrasonic welding. The first end of the movable plate 307 is rotatably connected to the left top corner of the quadrilateral frame, and the triangular block 309 is fixedly connected to the right top corner of the quadrilateral frame. The surface of the triangular block 309 facing the left side has a first vertical surface a and a second vertical surface b. The second vertical surface b is located above the first vertical surface a, and the second vertical surface b is recessed toward the right side relative to the first vertical surface a, so that a step is formed between the first vertical surface a and the second vertical surface b. The second end of the movable plate 307 is against the first vertical surface a. A vertical push rod 3011 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the quadrilateral frame, and the top of the vertical push rod 3011 is located below the movable plate 307.

[0039] When in use, the bottom end of the quadrilateral frame is inserted downward into the dovetail-shaped blind hole preset on the central control panel of the car. When the wider middle part of the quadrilateral frame enters the blind hole, it is squeezed inward by the edge of the blind hole port, and the quadrilateral frame is vertically deformed, so that the wider middle part of the quadrilateral frame can enter the blind hole, and then the quadrilateral frame is pressed downward continuously, so that the bottom end of the quadrilateral frame is against the inner bottom of the blind hole, so that the quadrilateral frame is horizontally deformed, and the vertical push rod 3011 is aligned with the bottom end of the quadrilateral frame. At the same time, the movable plate 307 remains stationary and moves downward with the lateral deformation of the quadrilateral frame, which is supported by the top end of the vertical push rod 3011, so that the second end of the movable plate 307 slides along the first vertical surface a and finally slides to the second vertical surface b. At this time, the shape of the quadrilateral frame is stable (the shape of the quadrilateral frame is kept stable by the movable plate 307). When no more thrust is applied, the quadrilateral frame is stuck with the dovetail-shaped blind hole, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting piece 3 and the blind hole, that is, the interior trim strip body 1 is installed on the hollow panel.

[0040] After the connector 3 is connected to the blind hole, the shape of the quadrilateral frame is kept stable by the horizontal movable plate 307. Compared with the clamps that rely on elasticity to achieve connection, it has a stable connection and can still ensure the reliability of the connection after long-term use (some materials are weathered and the elastic parts lose their elastic stress).

[0041] In one embodiment, the quadrilateral frame includes: a first frame 301, a second frame 302, a third frame 303, and a fourth frame 304 connected end to end in sequence, and the first frame 301, the second frame 302, the third frame 303, and the fourth frame 304 form a quadrilateral frame.

[0042] A connecting ear 306 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first frame 301 and close to the second frame 302 . The first end of the movable plate 307 is rotatably mounted on the connecting ear 306 via a pin. One side of the triangular block 309 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the third frame 303 and close to the fourth frame 304 .

[0043] A first gap 308 is formed between the connecting ear 306 and the second frame 302 , and a second gap 3010 is formed between the top slope of the triangular block 309 and the fourth frame 304 , so that the connecting ear 306 and the triangular block 309 do not affect the deformation of the quadrilateral frame.

[0044] In one embodiment, a plurality of connecting members 3 are arranged along the outer contour and the center of the bottom of the interior trim body 1 , so that the interior trim body 1 is more stably connected.

[0045] In one embodiment, an elastic member (not shown in the drawings) is provided at the bottom of the interior trim strip body 1. After the interior trim strip body 1 is installed, the elastic member is compressed by the interior trim strip body 1 and the car center control panel. The rebound force generated by the elastic member can ensure the stability of the connection between the interior trim strip body 1 and the car center control panel.

[0046] In one embodiment, the interior trim body 1 is made of plastic, and an injection molding process can be used to form some decorative pieces with complex shapes.

[0047] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the specification only describe the principles of the present application. The present application may have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present application for which protection is sought. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
