[0004] The above technical solution still has the following defects. Although the B-pillar inner plate and automobile B-pillar connection assembly solves the problem that many existing B-pillar inner plates are connected to the B-pillar by plastic clips, so the inner plate and the B-pillar are separated due to shaking during long-term use, but in actual use, when fixing the B-pillar inner plate to the automobile B-pillar, it is often necessary to insert a suitable flat head screw into the socket opened by the rotating block and rotate it to achieve fixation. This operation method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to operating errors, and may result in loose fixation or forced fixation causing damage to components. Based on this, a B-pillar inner plate and automobile B-pillar connection assembly is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, a B-pillar inner panel 3 and a vehicle B-pillar connection assembly includes a B-pillar body 1, the upper surface of the B-pillar body 1 is attached with the B-pillar inner panel 3, and a fixing mechanism 2 is provided on the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner panel 3.

[0024] It should be noted that the fixing mechanism 2 can facilitate the operator to more conveniently achieve effective fixing or disassembly of the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner panel 3 , which can further reduce the operator's workload and save time and effort.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3In order to further reduce the work intensity of the operator, the fixing mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a driving component, a rotating component is provided on the driving component, an adjusting component is provided on the driving component, and a fixing component is provided on the adjusting component. The driving component is provided with an adjusting slot 201 on the front of the B-pillar body 1, and the inner rear side wall of the adjusting slot 201 is rotatably connected to a worm 202 with one end penetrating to the outside of the fixing mechanism 2. The cross section of the adjusting slot 201 is convex, and the adjusting slot 201 is rotatably connected to the worm 202. A turning handle 203 is fixed to the front end of the worm 202, and a worm wheel 204 is meshed with the front end of the outer surface of the worm 202. The inner wall of the axis of the worm wheel 204 is fixed with a bearing rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting slot 201. A first rotating rod 205 between the left and right sides has a driving bevel gear 206 fixed on its outer surface, and a driven bevel gear 207 meshes with the left side of the outer surface of the driving bevel gear 206. The two driven bevel gears 207 are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the adjusting groove 201. Two supporting seats rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 205 are fixed on the inner bottom wall of the adjusting groove 201, so that the first rotating rod 205 can receive more support when rotating, thereby providing a more stable driving force. By rotating the turning handle 203 to drive the first rotating rod 205 and the driving bevel gear 206 to rotate, the driven bevel gear 207 can be driven to rotate, which is convenient for driving the operation of the rotating assembly.

[0026] Among them, the rotating component includes a second rotating rod 208 which is fixed to the inner wall of the axis of the driven bevel gear 207 and one end of which is rotatably connected to the inner rear side wall of the adjusting groove 201 through a bearing. An adjusting gear 209 is fixed in the middle of the outer surface of the second rotating rod 208. The adjusting component includes a fixed rod 210 fixed between the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the adjusting groove 201. The outer surface of the fixed rod 210 is slidably connected to two adjusting tooth plates 211, and the two adjusting tooth plates 211 are respectively meshed with the two adjusting gears 209. The rotation of the adjusting gear 209 can drive the adjusting tooth plate 211 to move along the fixed rod 210, thereby adjusting the position of the fixed component, which is convenient for later disassembly and assembly.

[0027] At the same time, the fixing component includes a fixing block 212 fixed to the upper surface of the adjusting tooth plate 211 and extending to the outside of the B-pillar body 1. The fixing component also includes a fixing groove 213 opened on the left and right sides of the B-pillar inner plate 3. A moving hole 214 is opened on the upper surface of the B-pillar body 1. The moving hole 214 is slidably connected to the fixing block 212. The cross-section of the fixing block 212 is L-shaped. The positional relationship between the fixing block 212 and the fixing groove 213 is adjusted by moving the adjusting tooth plate 211, thereby achieving the fixation of the B-pillar inner plate 3 and the B-pillar body 1.

[0028] It should be noted that the driving component drives the rotating component to operate, and then the adjusting component drives the fixing component to operate, so that the operator can more conveniently achieve effective fixing or disassembly of the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner panel 3, further reducing the operator's work intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0030] When the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner plate 3 need to be connected, the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner plate 3 are first fitted together, and then the turning handle 203 is turned to drive the worm 202 and the worm wheel 204 to rotate, so that the first rotating rod 205 and the two active bevel gears 206 fixed to the outer surface of the first rotating rod 205 can be rotated, and then the driven bevel gear 207 meshing with the active bevel gear 206 can be driven to rotate, and then the second rotating rod 208 and the adjusting gear 209 will rotate, and the two adjusting gears 209 can rotate to make the two adjusting gear plates rotate. 211 drives the two fixing blocks 212 to move relative to each other until the fixing blocks 212 move into the fixing grooves 213. At this time, the fixation of the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner plate 3 can be completed. The operation according to the above principle can also make it easier for operators to disassemble and replace the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner plate 3. The operator does not need to carry an appropriate flat-head screwdriver, and the screwdriver must be accurately inserted into the socket and rotated to achieve effective fixation of the B-pillar body 1 and the B-pillar inner plate 3. This effectively reduces the operator's work intensity and the possibility of operating errors, saves time and effort, and improves work efficiency.
