[0044] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 A trailer hook cover assembly 100 and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application are described.

[0045] Reference Figures 3 to 7 The trailer hook cover assembly 100 includes a mounting portion 110 , a cover 120 and a plurality of snap-on assemblies 130 .

[0046] The mounting portion 110 is used for mounting on the vehicle body 200 . The mounting portion 110 is provided with a penetration opening 111 . The penetration opening 111 is used for the trailer hook to penetrate.

[0047] It should be noted that there are many ways to install the mounting portion 110 on the vehicle body 200. In one embodiment, holes are drilled on the vehicle body 200 and the mounting portion 110, and then they are connected together using bolts and nuts. The advantages of this method are that it is easy to install and disassemble, can be reused, and the position of the mounting portion 110 can be adjusted. In another embodiment, the vehicle body 200 and the mounting portion 110 are connected together by welding.

In another embodiment, a slot or a socket is opened on the vehicle body 200, and then the mounting portion 110 is inserted therein. The advantages of this method are that additional fasteners can be omitted and it can be installed quickly.

[0048] In addition, the shape of the penetration opening 111 is various. For example, the shape of the penetration opening 111 can be circular, directional, diamond-shaped, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0049] The cover plate 120 is arranged to cover the insertion opening 111, so that the cover plate 120 can protect the insertion opening 111 from being damaged or contaminated by the outside world. The cover plate 120 can hide the insertion opening 111, improve the aesthetics of the installation part 110 and the vehicle, and the cover plate 120 can be easily opened or removed, so as to facilitate the installation of the trailer hook as needed.

[0050] A plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the insertion opening 111. The plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130 are used to snap-fit ​​and install the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110. In this way, the installation and removal of the cover plate 120 can be easily realized, thereby improving the operation efficiency and convenience. The plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130 include a first snap-fit ​​assembly 130a. The first snap-fit ​​assembly 130a includes a snap-fit ​​arm 131 and a locking structure 132. One of the snap-fit ​​arm 131 and the locking structure 132 is arranged on the mounting portion 110, and the other is arranged on the cover plate 120. The locking structure 132 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 1321 and an elastic pressing portion 1322 that are arranged oppositely and at intervals along a first direction. In the case of 11, the clamping arm 131 is between the clamping portion 1321 and the elastic pressing portion 1322, and the clamping portion 1321 is suitable for clamping with the clamping arm 131, and the elastic pressing portion 1322 is suitable for applying pressure to the clamping arm 131 toward the clamping portion 1321. In this way, by providing the clamping arm 131 and the locking structure 132, the connection stability between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be increased to ensure the firmness of the connection. The provision of the clamping portion 1321 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 can prevent the cover plate 120 from being accidentally opened, improve the stability of the installation of the cover plate 120, and when the cover plate 120 needs to be removed, the clamping arm 131 needs to apply a force in a direction away from the clamping portion 1321, so that the cover plate 120 cannot be easily removed, thereby avoiding the problem of the cover plate 120 being lost or not being firmly clamped.

[0051] It should be noted that, except for the first clamping assembly 130a, the other clamping assemblies 130 in the plurality of clamping assemblies 130 all include a clamping protrusion 133 and a clamping slot 134, one of which is provided on the cover plate 120, and the other is provided on the mounting portion 110, and the mounting portion 110 and the cover plate 120 can be quickly aligned and installed by the clamping protrusion 133 and the clamping slot 134. In addition, under the joint action with the first clamping assembly 130a, the cover plate 120 cannot be easily removed, thereby avoiding the problem of the cover plate 120 being lost or not being firmly clamped.

[0052] According to the trailer hook cover assembly 100 of the present application, the cover 120 and the mounting portion 110 are mounted by a plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130, which can facilitate the installation and removal of the cover 120 and the mounting portion 110, thereby improving the operation efficiency and convenience. In addition, the plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130 include a first snap-fit ​​assembly 130a, and the locking structure 132 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 1321 and an elastic pressing portion 1322 that are arranged oppositely and spaced apart in a first direction. By providing the snap-fit ​​arm 131 and the locking structure 132, the connection stability between the cover 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be increased, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection. The arrangement of the clamping portion 1321 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 can prevent the cover 120 from being accidentally opened, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the cover 120. When the cover 120 needs to be removed, the clamping arm 131 needs to apply a force in a direction away from the clamping portion 1321, so that the cover 120 cannot be easily removed, thereby avoiding the problem of the cover 120 being lost or not being firmly clamped.

[0053] Reference Figures 3 to 7 In one embodiment, the first clamping assembly 130a is arranged near the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111. The first clamping assembly 130a is arranged near the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111, which can enhance the stability of the connection between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110. Due to the effect of gravity, the lower end surface of the cover plate 120 will be subjected to greater pressure when it is covered on the penetration opening 111. Therefore, arranging the first clamping assembly 130a at this position can better withstand such pressure and provide a more secure connection. The first clamping assembly 130a is arranged near the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111, which can be conveniently installed and adjusted. Due to its low position, the operator can more easily approach and operate it, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of installation. By arranging the first clamping assembly 130a near the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111, it can be ensured that the cover plate 120 will not completely separate from the mounting portion 110 when it is not properly installed or accidentally opened, thereby reducing the safety hazards to the operator. In some cases, the design of the entire structure can be better optimized by arranging the first clamping assembly 130a near the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111. By rationally arranging and designing the position of the first clamping assembly 130a, the stress of the entire structure can be better balanced, and the stability and reliability of the structure can be improved.

[0054] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, the first clamping assembly 130a is provided in plurality, and the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111. Thus, the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a can increase the number of connection points between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110, and improve the stability and reliability of the connection. The arrangement of the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a can better disperse the stress borne by the connection points, reduce the stress concentration phenomenon, and extend the service life of the connection. The arrangement of the first clamping assemblies 130a at intervals along the length direction of the lower end surface of the penetration opening 111 can also avoid the occurrence of misalignment or deviation during the installation process, and ensure the quality and reliability of the connection. The arrangement of the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a can facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the cover plate 120. The arrangement of the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a can increase the connection strength between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110, and prevent the occurrence of accidental opening or falling off. By reasonably arranging the plurality of first clamping assemblies 130a, the stress of the entire structure can be better balanced, and the stability and reliability of the structure can be improved.

[0055] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the mounting portion 110 is provided with a clamping hole 112, the clamping hole 112 has a first side wall surface 1121, the first side wall surface 1121 is extended in a direction away from the cover plate 120 to provide the clamping portion 1321, the clamping portion 1321 has a first abutting surface 13211 arranged away from the cover plate 120, the clamping arm 131 is provided on the cover plate 120, the clamping arm 131 is suitable for passing through the clamping hole 112, and the clamping arm 131 has a second abutting surface 1311 arranged toward the cover plate 120, and the second abutting surface 1311 is suitable for abutting with the first abutting surface 13211. By providing the clamping hole 112, the clamping portion 1321 and the clamping arm 131, and abutting the first abutting surface 13211 with the second abutting surface 1311, the connection stability between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be increased. This design can provide a more secure connection, reduce looseness or vibration between connection points, and improve the stability of the entire system. By accurately setting the positions of the clamping hole 112, the clamping portion 1321, and the clamping arm 131, the connection accuracy between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be ensured. This design can make the removal and maintenance of the cover plate 120 more convenient, thereby saving maintenance time and cost and improving installation efficiency. By increasing the stability and accuracy of the connection, the safety risks caused by loose connection or position deviation can be reduced.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7In one embodiment, the snap-in hole 112 has a second side wall surface 1122 arranged opposite to the first side wall surface 1121, and the second side wall surface 1122 is provided with the elastic pressing portion 1322 extending in a direction away from the cover plate 120, so that the connection stability between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be increased. The elastic pressing portion 1322 can provide additional pressure to make the cover plate 120 more firmly connected to the mounting portion 110, and reduce the looseness caused by vibration or impact. The provision of the elastic pressing portion 1322 can make the installation and removal of the cover plate 120 more convenient. During installation, the elastic pressing portion 1322 can automatically adjust and make it easier to install the cover plate 120 in place. In addition, the elastic pressing portion 1322 can also provide sufficient resistance so that the cover plate 120 will not be too loose or fall off quickly. This design can prevent accidental opening or falling off and reduce safety hazards. By properly designing the snap-fit ​​hole 112, the second side wall surface 1122 and the elastic pressing portion 1322, the stress of the entire structure can be better balanced, and the stability and reliability of the structure can be improved. The elastic pressing portion 1322 can provide a certain degree of elasticity and adaptability, so that the cover plate 120 can adapt to the installation portion 110 of different sizes or shapes.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the elastic pressing portion 1322 is provided with a protrusion 1323 toward the clamping arm 131, and the protrusion 1323 is used to abut against the clamping arm 131. In this way, the setting of the protrusion 1323 can make the elastic pressing portion 1322 abut against the clamping arm 131 more stably, thereby improving the stability of the entire first clamping assembly 130a. The protrusion 1323 can provide additional support and resistance, making the connection between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 more secure. The presence of the protrusion 1323 can prevent excessive sliding or misalignment between the clamping arm 131 and the elastic pressing portion 1322, thereby reducing the safety risks caused by unstable connection. This design can ensure the reliability and stability of the connection and improve the safety of the entire first clamping assembly 130a.

[0058] It should be noted that the shape and size of the projection 1323 can be customized according to actual needs to adapt to different shapes and sizes of the clamping arms 131. This can make the design more flexible, and the present application does not limit this. In addition, the projection 1323 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 can be integrally formed, so that the entire structural design can be simplified, and the number of components and complexity can be reduced. This design can also be easily produced and processed, reducing costs and manufacturing difficulty. Of course, in other embodiments, the projection 1323 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 can also be detachably connected. In this way, when long-term use causes the projection 1323 to wear, a new projection 1323 can be replaced in time to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection, and improve the safety of the entire first clamping assembly 130a.

[0059] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the protrusion 1323 has two side surfaces 13231 arranged at an angle, and the two side surfaces 13231 intersect to form a contact edge 13232 arranged toward the clamping arm 131, and the contact edge 13232 is used to abut against the clamping arm 131. In this way, the contact edge 13232 formed by the intersection of the two side surfaces 13231 increases the friction and resistance between the clamping arm 131 and reduces the risk of sliding or misalignment. This helps to improve the stability and safety of the connection between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110. Since the contact edge 13232 is arranged toward the clamping arm 131, it can better withstand the force from the clamping arm 131, optimize the force distribution, and reduce the stress concentration phenomenon. This helps to improve the strength and reliability of the structure. By designing the protrusion 1323 as two side surfaces 13231 with an angle, the design of the entire structure can be simplified, and the number and complexity of components can be reduced. This design can also be easily produced and processed, reducing costs and manufacturing difficulty.

[0060] Reference Figures 3 to 7In one embodiment, when the cover plate 120 is covered on the penetration opening 111, an operation channel 140 is further formed between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110, and the outlet of the operation channel 140 is arranged corresponding to the clamping arm 131, and the operation channel 140 is suitable for applying an external force toward the elastic pressing portion 1322 to the clamping arm 131. In this way, the design of the operation channel 140 enables an external force to be applied to the clamping arm 131, so as to facilitate the movement of the clamping arm 131 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 away from the clamping portion 1321, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110. Through the operation channel 140, the clamping arm 131 can be easily contacted, avoiding a cumbersome disassembly process and improving the convenience of operation. The design of the operation channel 140 can ensure that the direction of the external force applied to the clamping arm 131 is toward the elastic pressing portion 1322, so as to prevent the external force from causing unnecessary damage or pressure to other components. This design improves the safety of operation and reduces the risk caused by incorrect operation. The design of the operation channel 140 can be matched with the structure of the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 to form an integral structure. This design simplifies the structure and improves the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0061] Reference Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, a notch 121 is formed on the periphery of the cover plate 120, and the notch 121 is located on the side of the clamping arm 131 away from the elastic pressing portion 1322. The mounting portion 110 is provided with a guide groove 113, and the guide groove 113 extends from the clamping portion 1321 to the elastic pressing portion 1322 and is inclined in a direction away from the cover plate 120. The notch of the guide groove 113 faces the clamping arm 131, and an opening is provided at one end of the guide groove 113 adjacent to the cover plate 120, and the opening is connected to the notch 121. The operating channel 140 includes the notch 121 and the guide groove 113. In this way, the design of the guide groove 113 makes it possible to easily contact the clamping arm 131 through the notch 121, and apply an external force away from the clamping portion 1321 to the clamping arm 131. The inclined setting of the guide groove 113 and the connection between the opening and the notch 121 make the operation more convenient, and improve the efficiency and convenience of the operation. The design of the guide groove 113 can ensure that the external force applied to the clamping arm 131 is carried out along the direction of the guide groove 113, avoiding damage or pressure on other components caused by the external force. At the same time, since the notch of the guide groove 113 is facing the clamping arm 131, it is convenient to apply an external force away from the clamping portion 1321 to the clamping arm 131. This design improves the safety of operation and reduces the risks caused by incorrect operation. The design of the guide groove 113 and the notch 121 can be matched with the structure of the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 to form an integral structure. This design simplifies the structure and improves the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0062] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 7 , along the direction from the cover plate 120 to the mounting portion 110, the center line of the notch 121, the center line of the clamping arm 131, and the center line of the guide groove 113 are arranged in a collinear manner. In this way, when the center lines of the notch 121, the clamping arm 131, and the guide groove 113 are arranged in a collinear manner, the guiding property of the operating channel 140 is better. This means that during the operation, the external force can act on the clamping arm 131 more accurately along the direction of the guide groove 113, avoiding offset or error during the operation. Since the center lines of the notch 121, the clamping arm 131, and the guide groove 113 are arranged in a collinear manner, it helps to improve the accuracy of the operation and ensure that the external force can be effectively applied to the clamping arm 131, thereby achieving the expected operating effect. The collinear arrangement can simplify the design process because it only needs to ensure that the center lines of the three elements are in the same straight line, rather than accurately positioning each element separately. This helps to reduce design time and cost while improving the accuracy and reliability of the design.

[0063] Second, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the trailer hook cover assembly 100 as described above.

[0064] According to the vehicle of the present application, the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 are mounted by a plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130, which can facilitate the installation and removal of the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110, thereby improving the operation efficiency and convenience. In addition, the plurality of snap-fit ​​assemblies 130 include a first snap-fit ​​assembly 130a, and the locking structure 132 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 1321 and an elastic pressing portion 1322 that are arranged oppositely and at intervals along a first direction. By providing the snap-fit ​​arm 131 and the locking structure 132, the connection stability between the cover plate 120 and the mounting portion 110 can be increased, and the firmness of the connection can be ensured. The arrangement of the clamping portion 1321 and the elastic pressing portion 1322 can prevent the cover 120 from being accidentally opened, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the cover 120. When the cover 120 needs to be removed, the clamping arm 131 needs to apply a force in a direction away from the clamping portion 1321, so that the cover 120 cannot be easily removed, thereby avoiding the problem of the cover 120 being lost or not being firmly clamped.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a vehicle body 200, and the mounting portion 110 is mounted on the vehicle body 200, so that the stability of the mounting portion 110 can be improved, the installation and maintenance of the cover plate 120 can be facilitated, and the safety can be enhanced.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle body 200 includes a bumper, and the mounting portion 110 is mounted on the bumper. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting position of the mounting portion 110 can be adjusted as needed, and the present application does not limit this.

[0067] Specifically, the working principle of the trailer hook cover assembly 100 is:

[0068] When it is necessary to remove the cover plate 120, the operating member is extended into the operating channel 140, one end of the operating member extends out of the operating channel 140 and abuts against the clamping arm 131, and an external force is applied to the operating member, so that the clamping arm 131 is pushed upward obliquely. The clamping arm 131 will be lifted up, and the elastic clamping portion 1322 abutting against the clamping arm 131 moves with the clamping arm 131, so that the clamping arm 131 is separated from the clamping portion 1321, and then the cover plate 120 is separated from the mounting portion 110, so that the cover plate 120 and the bumper clamping position of the vehicle body 200 are removed.

[0069] In addition, the shape of the operating member may be cylindrical, prism-shaped, or other shapes. The present application does not limit the shape and material of the operating member.
