[0002] In the design of plastic exterior parts, such as the electroplated radiator grille trim structure, because it is an electroplated injection molded PC+ABS resin product that is assembled to the front bumper of the car after electroplating, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the molding of the product structure, whether there are undercuts in the product structure, whether the product structure meets the requirements of the electroplating process, whether there is enough space in the product assembly structure for the removal of the slider or the inclined top, whether it will scratch the front bumper with painted surface treatment, and whether it can meet the appearance and use requirements of the product. Because the product is installed on the front bumper of the car, the existing electroplated radiator grille frame structure will produce abnormal noise between the electroplated and painted parts due to poor assembly after being installed on the front bumper of the car, and there are also assembly difficulties and deformation problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a electroplated radiator grille frame structure in view of the current status of the prior art, which is assembled with the front bumper of the car to play a decorative role and solve the problems of poor assembly, abnormal noise and deformation.

[0013] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of a self-tapping base;

[0016] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0017] In the figure, the outer frame body 100; the boss 200; the parting step 300; the low clamping claw 400; the high clamping claw 500; the self-tapping base 600; the Z-direction through hole 601; the Y-direction slider escape through hole 602; the circular clamping claw 700; the auxiliary plug 800; and the long plug 900.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the electroplated radiator grille outer frame structure includes an outer frame body 100, a claw assembly is arranged on the upper side of the outer frame body 100, a self-tapping assembly is arranged on the lower side of the outer frame body 100, and a boss 200 is provided on the outer frame body 100. Here, the boss 200 is in point contact with the counterpart to ensure the stability of the counterpart assembly, prevent poor assembly caused by large-surface zero pasting, and prevent abnormal noise between electroplated and painted parts. Figure 3As shown, the outer frame body 100 has a parting step 300, which facilitates the matching of the parting surface of the injection mold and avoids the occurrence of flash due to long-term collision and wear after mass production.

[0019] In this patent, the claw assembly includes a low claw 400 and a high claw 500, and the low claw 400 and the high claw 500 are arranged in a staggered manner along the upper side of the outer frame body 100. The self-tapping assembly includes a plurality of self-tapping bases 600, and the self-tapping bases 600 are arranged in a staggered manner along the lower side of the outer frame body 100. At least one group of reinforced claw assemblies is also arranged on the upper side of the outer frame body 100. The reinforced claw assembly includes a circular claw 700 and auxiliary plug-ins 800 located on both sides of the circular claw 700. The height of the auxiliary plug-in 800 is higher than the height of the circular claw 700. The upper and lower rows of distributed reinforced claw assemblies and claw assemblies can effectively correct deformation and absorb product tolerances, ensure assembly reliability, and avoid assembly difficulties and deformation problems caused by all installation points being on a line. The self-tapping base 600 on the lower side not only ensures the connection strength, but also ensures the overall assembly clearance and surface difference of the product through the staggered layout.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the circular claw 700 combined with the auxiliary inserts 800 on both sides can not only ensure the Z-direction positioning function of the product, but also withstand the shear force of the product in the Z-direction, thereby preventing the problem of the circular claw 700 breaking in the past, and effectively preventing the serpentine deformation of the electroplated decorative strip after electroplating in the past. The foot of the circular claw 700 is an asymmetric structure, wherein the right side width of the foot of the circular claw 700 is greater than the left side width of the foot of the circular claw 700, thereby preventing the problem of the weld line of the previous similar circular structure breaking in the middle. Such a structure can drive the weld line to the fillet part, and the strength of the product clamping surface can be guaranteed. Because the widths on both sides are inconsistent, when the molten plastic fluid flows through the circular claw 700 through the main wall thickness, the flow rates on both sides are inconsistent, so that the weld line of the product will intersect at the fillet.

[0021] A long insert 900 is arranged on the lower side of the outer frame body 100. Here, the long insert 900 plays a role in assembly and is used as an electroplating hanging foot, which can ensure the electroplating process of the product. At the same time, compared with the previous negative reviews, this long insert 900 does not need to be broken, which can ensure the matching of the surface difference after the upper and lower sides are assembled. Figure 2As shown, the self-tapping base 600 has a Z-axis through hole 601 and a Y-axis slider escape through hole 602. The Z-axis through hole 601 and the Y-axis slider escape through hole 602 ensure the leakage function of the electroplating process, prevent the accumulation of liquid due to the surface tension of the liquid during electroplating, and thus avoid the contamination of the tank liquid. In addition, the thin-wall structure of the self-tapping base 600 can also effectively ensure that it will not cause shrinkage problems when overlapped with the back of the appearance surface.

[0022] The specific embodiments described in this article are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them in a similar manner, but they will not deviate from the scope defined by the spirit of the present invention.
