[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] This embodiment relates to a decorative panel mounting structure for a front bumper, providing a convenient assembly structure between a decorative panel 2 and a grille 1 applicable to the front bumper. An exemplary structure thereof is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0038] Overall, the decorative panel mounting structure of the front bumper includes a grille 1 and a decorative panel 2 provided on the bumper body. Among them, a plug-in groove 10 with an opening facing the front of the vehicle is formed at the bottom of the grille 1, and a locking tongue 12 is provided in the plug-in groove 10; a connecting plate 20 bent toward the rear side of the vehicle is formed at the top of the decorative panel 2, and a locking interface 210 corresponding to the locking tongue 12 is provided at the edge of the connecting plate 20; as the connecting plate 20 is inserted into the plug-in groove 10, the locking tongue 12 is clamped in the corresponding locking interface 210, thereby realizing the clamping installation between the decorative panel 2 and the grille 1.

[0039] It should be noted that based on the above overall design concept, the technical solution of the present utility model can adopt a variety of different specific implementation structures, forms or configuration sequences. For example, the above-mentioned locking tongue 12 can adopt a variety of different specific structural forms; the specific setting sequence, installation method, etc. of the locking tongue 12 on the grille 1 and the locking interface 210 on the decorative panel 2 can also be flexibly adjusted. For the parts required for the implementation of the overall solution but not involved in the above overall settings, reasonable and flexible designs can be made with reference to the mature setting means in the art, the actual situation during implementation, etc. The following specific implementation solutions of this embodiment are only one of the relatively optimal solutions among the many solutions that can be formed by the above various combinations and their variations. In actual implementation, those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments and improvements in combination with the actual situation. Obviously, the many solutions that can be formed by the above various specific form combinations and their variations, as well as the specific implementation solutions of this embodiment, are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 6 shown, a plurality of locking tongues 12 are provided in the plug-in groove 10, and the respective locking tongues 12 are evenly spaced in the vehicle width direction; corresponding to each locking tongue 12, a plurality of locking interfaces 210 are provided on the connecting plate 20. By providing a plurality of locking tongues 12 in the plug-in groove 10 and correspondingly providing a plurality of locking interfaces 210 on the connecting plate 20, each set of corresponding locking tongues 12 and locking interfaces 210 are clamped and matched to form a set of clamping structures. The assembly setting of multiple sets of clamping structures can form multi-point connections between the grille 1 and the decorative panel 2, thereby effectively improving the connection reliability between the grille 1 and the decorative panel 2.

[0041] As for the specific setting of the edge of the connecting plate 20, there are of course a variety of different structural schemes to choose from. The edge of the connecting plate 20 can be directly set to a straight shape that matches the internal shape of the plug-in slot 10, or a limit column, a plug-in tongue 21 and other structures can be set on the edge of the connecting plate 20 to enhance the limiting and fixing effect of the connecting plate 20 in the plug-in slot 10. In this embodiment, the edge of the connecting plate 20 is provided with a plug-in tongue 21 protruding toward the rear of the vehicle, and the card interface 210 is opened on the plug-in tongue 21; of course, when a plurality of card tongues 12 are provided in the plug-in slot 10, the plug-in tongues 21 on the edge of the connecting plate 20 should also be correspondingly provided with a plurality of card interfaces 210 so that the card interfaces 210 on each plug-in tongue 21 correspond to each card tongue 12 one by one. At the same time, corresponding to the plug-in tongue 21, a socket 100 for inserting the plug-in tongue 21 is opened at the bottom of the plug-in slot 10.

[0042] By providing a plug-in tongue 21 on the edge of the connecting plate 20 and providing a card interface 210 on the plug-in tongue 21, when the connecting plate 20 is inserted, the plug-in tongue 21 can be inserted into the corresponding socket 100, and the card tongue 12 can be inserted into the card interface 210 on the plug-in tongue 21; in this way, the plug-in tongue 21 will be restricted by the socket 100 in the height and width directions of the vehicle, and the card tongue 12 can effectively prevent the card tongue 12 from escaping from the socket 100, thereby greatly improving the installation position reliability and connection stability of the decorative panel 2 on the grille 1.

[0043] As mentioned above, the latch tongue 12 has a variety of structural forms. In this embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the latch tongue 12 is integrally formed on the side wall of the plug slot 10, and the latch tongue 12 is cantilevered and extends toward the rear of the vehicle; at the same time, the end of the latch tongue 12 is located below the socket 100, so as to be easily engaged with the card interface 210. By providing a notch on the side wall of the plug slot 10 corresponding to the socket 100, a cantilevered latch tongue 12 can be formed on the side wall, so that the latch tongue 12 has a certain degree of deformation elasticity, so that the plug tongue 21 can be smoothly inserted into the socket 100 and engaged with the latch tongue 12.

[0044] Based on the above arrangement, the end of the latch tongue 12 of the present embodiment is formed with an upwardly convex snap-fitting protrusion 120. When the connecting plate 20 is inserted into the plug slot 10, the plug tongue 21 passes over the snap-fitting protrusion 120 and is inserted into the socket 100. At the same time, the snap-fitting protrusion 120 is snapped into the snap interface 210. By arranging the snap-fitting protrusion 120 at the end of the latch tongue 12 and snapping the snap-fitting protrusion 120 into the snap interface 210 on the plug tongue 21, the snap-fitting cooperation between the latch tongue 12 and the plug tongue 21 can be well achieved, which has the characteristics of simple and effective structure, good snap-fitting effect, etc.

[0045] In addition, preferably, the side of the snap projection 120 facing the opening of the insertion slot 10 may be configured as an inclined guiding surface 122 for guiding the insertion tongue 21 to cross over the snap projection 120. By providing the guiding surface 122 on the side of the snap projection 120, it is convenient to reduce the resistance during the insertion of the connecting plate 20, enabling the snap tongue 12 to deform under the action of the insertion tongue 21, so that the insertion tongue 21 can smoothly cross over the snap projection 120 to achieve the snap connection between the snap tongue 12 and the insertion tongue 21.

[0046] In addition, as Figure 7 shown, on the side of the snap projection 120 of this embodiment facing away from the opening of the insertion slot 10, there is a protruding end plate 121; when the insertion tongue 21 is inserted into the socket 100, the end plate 121 is located below the end of the insertion tongue 21, and there is a gap between the end of the insertion tongue 21 and the end plate 121. By providing the end plate 121 at the end of the snap tongue 12 and leaving a gap between the end plate 121 and the end of the insertion tongue 21, it is convenient to pry the snap tongue 12 to deform when disassembling the decorative plate 2 from the grille 1, so as to release the snap connection state between the snap tongue 12 and the insertion tongue 21, thereby reducing the difficulty of the disassembly operation.

[0047] As Figure 2 and combined with Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, on the inner wall of the insertion slot 10, there are ribs 11 arranged along the front-back direction of the vehicle, and the ribs 11 and the snap tongue 12 are on the same side of the connecting plate 20; as the connecting plate 20 is inserted into the insertion slot 10, the ribs 11 abut against the connecting plate 20. By providing the ribs 11 on the inner wall of the insertion slot 10, a certain gap can be left between the connecting plate 20 and the inner wall of the insertion slot 10, thereby reducing the insertion resistance of the connecting plate 20 and preventing the decorative plate 2 from moving loosely in the vehicle height direction relative to the grille 1. The ribs 11 and the snap tongue 12 are arranged on the same side, which provides a convenient space condition for the arrangement and movement of the snap tongue 12, facilitating the snap fit between the snap tongue 12 and the insertion tongue 21.

[0048] Regarding the specific number and position of the ribs 11, of course, there are various different structural schemes to choose from. In this embodiment, in the width direction of the vehicle, there is one of the above-mentioned ribs 11 on each of the left and right sides of the snap tongue 12. By providing one rib 11 on each of the left and right sides of the snap tongue 12, the connection stability of the snap structure between each group of snap tongues 12 and insertion tongues 21 can be effectively guaranteed, making the assembly position of the decorative plate 2 on the grille 1 more stable.

[0049] In summary, for the trim panel mounting structure of the front bumper in this embodiment, by providing a snap-in interface 210 at the edge of the connecting plate 20 of the trim panel 2, which is snap-fitted with the snap tongue 12 provided in the insertion slot 10, after the edge of the connecting plate 20 is inserted into the insertion slot 10, the snap connection between the snap tongue 12 and the snap-in interface 210 can prevent the connecting plate 20 from disengaging from the insertion slot 10, and the insertion operation is convenient and simple; since there is no need to provide a protruding snap structure on the surface of the edge of the connecting plate 20, during the insertion process of the connecting plate 20, it is not easy to scratch the outer surface of the grille 1 near the opening of the insertion slot 10, which is beneficial to maintaining the integrity of the outer surface of the front bumper, thus providing a convenient assembly structure applicable to the trim panel 2 and the grille 1 on the front bumper.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, and the front bumper of the vehicle is provided with the trim panel mounting structure of the front bumper provided in Embodiment 1.

[0052] By adopting the trim panel mounting structure of the present utility model between the grille 1 and the trim panel 2 on the front bumper, the problems of difficult assembly and disassembly between the grille 1 and the trim panel 2 can be well solved. At the same time, the outer surface of the grille 1 can be effectively prevented from being scratched during the insertion process.

[0053] The setting of multiple snap connection structures forms multiple-point fixed connections between the trim panel 2 and the grille 1, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the trim panel 2 and the grille 1, preventing the connecting plate 20 from disengaging from the insertion slot 10, and thus avoiding the situation where the top of the trim panel 2 falls off the grille 1.

[0054] When installing the trim panel 2 onto the bumper body of the front bumper, the connecting plate 20 can be first inserted into the insertion slot 10 to achieve the fixed connection between the top of the trim panel 2 and the bottom of the grille 1, and then the mounting feet 22 at the bottom of the trim panel 2 are fastened to the corresponding positions at the bottom of the bumper body using screws, thereby conveniently completing the assembly of the trim panel 2.

[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. The detailed explanations of the configuration, specific examples of the structural settings, or the descriptions of the assembly connection methods are all for the need of full disclosure, so that those skilled in the art can better implement the present utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
