[0031] The present application provides an adapter bracket, a trim connection assembly and a vehicle.

[0032] The vehicle according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a partial schematic view of the vehicle provided by some embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 may include a vehicle body 102 and a trim connection assembly 101. Fixing holes 1021 may be provided on the vehicle body 102. The trim connection assembly 101 is connected to the vehicle body 102 through a fastener 3.

[0034] Exemplarily, nuts may be provided at the fixing holes 1021 of the vehicle 1000, and the fastener 3 is connected to the nuts to connect the trim connection assembly 101 to the vehicle body 102.

[0035] The trim connection assembly 101 according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2A partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle provided by some embodiments of the present application. Some embodiments of the present application provide a trim connection assembly 101. The trim connection assembly 101 may include a trim 2, a fastener 3, and an adapter bracket 1. A connection through-hole 21 may be provided on the trim 2. The body member 11 of the adapter bracket 1 may pass through the connection through-hole 21. The flanging member 12 of the adapter bracket 1 abuts against the trim 2. The fastener 3 may pass through the mounting through-hole 113. Specifically, the body member 11 of the adapter bracket 1 passes through the connection through-hole 21, so that the body member 11 can enter the space enclosed by the vehicle body 102 and the trim 2. The fastener 3 passes through the mounting through-hole 113 and the fixing hole 1021. Since the flanging member 12 of the adapter bracket 1 abuts against the trim 2, that is, the flanging member 12 is located outside the space enclosed by the vehicle body 102 and the trim 2, the trim 2 can be rigidly connected to the vehicle body 102. Thus, plastic deformation of the trim 2 at large temperature differences can be avoided, and the matching consistency can be ensured.

[0037] Exemplarily, the fastener 3 may be a screw. By connecting the screw to the nut provided at the fixing hole 1021, the trim 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102. Since the cost of the screw is low and the structure is simple in this way, it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle 1000.

[0038] It should be noted that the shape of the body member 11 of the adapter bracket 1 may be the same as the shape of the connection through-hole 21.

[0039] The adapter bracket 1 of the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , some embodiments of the present application provide an adapter bracket 1. The adapter bracket 1 may include a body member 11 and a flanging member 12.

[0041] The body member 11 may have a mounting cavity 111. In the length direction of the body member 11, that is, in the Figure 1 shown X-axis direction, one end of the mounting cavity 111 may be provided with an opening 112, and the other end of the mounting cavity 111 may be provided with a mounting through-hole 113. Specifically, in the length direction of the body member 11, the opening 112 and the mounting through-hole 113 are located at opposite ends of the mounting cavity 111, so that the fastener 3 can enter the mounting cavity 111 through the opening 112 and can pass through the mounting through-hole 113.

[0042] Thus, part of the fastener 3 can be hidden in the mounting cavity 111, so that the fastener 3 can be protected, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the fastener 3, and further beneficial to improving the reliability of the connection between the trim 2 and the vehicle body 102. And the structure of the adapter bracket 1 is simple, and it is also convenient for the operator to install the fastener 3, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0043] The flange member 12 may be disposed at the opening 112 of the adapter bracket 1. Specifically, the flange member 12 is disposed on the outer side wall of the opening 112 of the body member 11.

[0044] For example, in the width direction of the main body 11, the flange 12 can be folded in a direction away from the opening 112. Figure 1 In the Y-axis direction shown, the flange member 12 is folded from one side edge in the length direction of the main body member 11 toward a direction away from the opening 112 .

[0045] For example, in the height direction of the main body 11, the flange 12 can be folded in a direction away from the opening 112. Figure 1 In the Z-axis direction shown, the flange member 12 is folded from one side edge in the length direction of the main body member 11 toward a direction away from the opening 112 .

[0046] Thus, when the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102 through the adapter bracket 1, the adapter bracket 1 connects one end of the adapter bracket 1 to the vehicle body 102 by passing the fastener 3 through the installation through hole 113 and the fixing hole 1021. At this time, the side of the flange 12 close to the vehicle body 102 can abut against the trim panel 2, so that the other end of the adapter bracket 1 is connected to the trim panel 2, and then the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102.

[0047] According to the adapter bracket 1 of the embodiment of the present application, by respectively providing an opening 112 and a mounting through hole 113 on opposite sides of the mounting cavity 111 of the main body 11, the fastener 3 can directly enter the mounting cavity 111 through the opening 112, and the mounting through hole 113 can be provided, so that the fastener 3 can be protected. It is also convenient for operators to install the fastener 3, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000. And because the flange 12 is provided at the opening 112, when the trim 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102 through the adapter bracket 1, the fastener 3 can be provided with the mounting through hole 113 and the fixing hole 1021, and the flange 12 abuts against the trim 2, so that the adapter bracket 1 and the vehicle body 102 can form a hard connection, which can ensure the consistency of matching, thereby avoiding the trim 2 from plastic deformation when the temperature difference is large. At the same time, it can also avoid changing the structure of the vehicle body 102, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle 1000. In addition, since the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2 are separate parts, the installation position of the adapter bracket 1 can be adjusted, thereby avoiding interference between the wiring harness between the trim panel 2 and the vehicle body 102 and the adapter bracket 1.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, the flanging member 12 may include a first flanging 121 and a second flanging 122. In the width direction of the body member 11, the first flanging 121 is disposed on opposite sides of the opening 112 and is folded away from the opening 112. In the height direction of the body member 11, the second flanging 122 is disposed on opposite sides of the opening 112 and is folded away from the opening 112. Specifically, both the first flanging 121 and the second flanging 122 are disposed on the outer sidewall of the opening 112 of the body member 11, and the first flanging 121 and the second flanging 122 may be respectively located on adjacent sides of the body member 11. In the width direction of the body member 11, that is, in Figure 1 the Y-axis direction shown, the first flanging 121 is folded from one side edge in the length direction of the body member 11 away from the opening 112. In the height direction of the body member 11, that is, in Figure 1 the Z-axis direction shown, the second flanging 122 is folded from one side edge in the length direction of the body member 11 away from the opening 112. Thus, the contact area between the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2 can be larger by abutting the first flanging 121 and the second flanging 122 against the trim panel 2, which is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2, and further beneficial to improving the reliability of the vehicle 1000.

[0049] It should be noted that the flanging member 12 may only include the first flanging 121. The flanging member 12 may also only include the second flanging 122. The present application does not limit this.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the flanging member 12 and the body member 11 are integrally formed. Thus, the flanging member 12 and the body member 11 can form a structural whole, which is beneficial to improving the connection strength between the flanging member 12 and the body member 11, and thus can ensure the reliability of the connection between the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a partial perspective view of a vehicle provided in some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the adapter bracket 1 may further include a first gear 13. The first gears 13 may be provided on opposite sidewalls of the body member 11. In the width direction of the body member 11, the cross-sectional area of the first gear 13 may gradually increase. Specifically, one end of the first gear 13 is connected to the sidewall of the body member 11, and the other end extends away from the sidewall of the body member 11. And in the direction from the inner sidewall to the outer sidewall of the installation cavity 111, the cross-sectional area of the first gear 13 may gradually decrease. Then when the adapter bracket 1 passes through the connection through hole 21 of the trim panel 2, one end of the first gear 13 close to the opening 112 can abut against the trim panel 2.

[0052] Thus, before the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102, the adapter bracket 1 can first be snap-fitted to the trim panel 2 through the first gear 13, that is, the connection through-hole 21 of the trim panel 2 can be located between the flanging member 12 and the first gear 13, so that the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2 can be pre-fixed, thereby facilitating the operator to connect the adapter bracket 1 to the vehicle body 102, and further improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the adapter bracket 1 may further include a second gear 14. The second gear 14 and the first gear 13 may be provided on the same side of the body member 11 and on the side of the first gear 13 away from the mounting through-hole 113. Specifically, in the length direction of the body member 11, the first gear 13 and the second gear 14 are spaced apart on the same side of the body member 11, and the second gear 14 is located on the side of the first gear 13 close to the opening 112.

[0054] In the width direction of the body member 11, the cross-sectional area of the second gear 14 gradually increases. Thus, before the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102, the portion of the adapter bracket 1 having the first gear 13 can first be moved to the side of the connection through-hole 21 close to the vehicle body 102. At this time, the connection through-hole 21 of the trim panel 2 is located between the first gear 13 and the second gear 14, and the pre-fixation of the adapter bracket 1 and the trim panel 2 can be completed. When the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102, the adapter bracket 1 can move in the direction close to the vehicle body 102, so that the second gear 14 of the adapter bracket 1 moves to the side of the connection through-hole 21 close to the vehicle body 102, and the connection through-hole 21 is located between the second gear 14 and the flanging member 12. At this time, the adapter bracket 1 can contact the vehicle body 102, so that the adapter bracket 1 can be pre-fixed to the vehicle body 102, thereby facilitating the operator to connect the adapter bracket 1 and the vehicle body 102, and further improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIGS. and are partial schematic views of a vehicle provided in other embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the adapter bracket 1 may further include a third gear 15. The third gear 15 may be provided on the outer sidewall of the mounting through-hole 113. Specifically, the third gear 15 is provided on the outer sidewall of the body member 11 and at one end of the body member 11 close to the mounting through-hole 113. Thus, when the adapter bracket 1 is assembled, the installation position of the adapter bracket 1 can be prevented from being incorrect, so that anti-fooling can be achieved, and further the assembly difficulty of the adapter bracket 1 can be reduced.

[0056] Exemplarily, the third gear position 15 and the first gear position 13 can be located on different sides of the body member 11. Such an arrangement can prevent the first gear position 13, the second gear position 14, and the third gear position 15 from all being disposed on the same side of the body member 11, so that the structure of the adapter bracket 1 can be more reasonable.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the adapter bracket 1 may further include a protruding member 16. The protruding member 16 can be disposed at the mounting through hole 113 and extend in a direction away from the mounting through hole 113. Specifically, one end of the protruding member 16 is connected to the body member 11, and the other end extends in a direction away from the mounting through hole 113. Thus, when the trim panel 2 is connected to the vehicle body 102, the protruding member 16 of the adapter bracket 1 contacts the vehicle body 102, so that there can be an assembly gap between the mounting through hole 113 and the vehicle body 102, thereby allowing a nut to be added at the vehicle body 102, facilitating the connection between the adapter bracket 1 and the vehicle body 102. At the same time, the protruding member 16 can also improve the structural strength of the adapter bracket 1.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the protruding member 16 may include a first protruding portion 161 and a second protruding portion 162. In the width direction of the body member 11, the first protruding portion 161 and the second protruding portion 162 are located on opposite sides of the mounting through hole 113. Thus, the installation space of the screw can be defined by the first protruding portion 161 and the second protruding portion 162, and the nut can also fall into the installation space defined by the first protruding portion 161 and the second protruding portion 162, thereby facilitating the operation of the operator for assembly and being beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0059] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0060] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
