Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly relates to an outer rearview mirror trim panel and an outer rearview mirror. Background Art

[0002] As one of the key components of an automobile, the outer rearview mirror is used to observe the environment around the vehicle and plays a crucial role in the driving safety of the automobile.

[0003] At present, most automobiles on the market use small trim panels for their outer rearview mirrors. That is, after the mounting base of the outer rearview mirror is connected and fixed to the door sheet metal of the vehicle, a small outer rearview mirror trim panel is used to fix on the mounting base of the outer rearview mirror to play a role in beautification. There are also a small number of automobiles on the market that use large trim panels for their outer rearview mirrors. By providing screw posts on the large trim panel, the large trim panel is fixed by screws passing through the door sheet metal and locking to the screw posts. However, due to the relatively thin large trim panel, directly using the screw locking and fixing method is likely to pull and indent the surface of the large trim panel, and this mounting method can only achieve mounting in the direction perpendicular to the large trim panel, and cannot achieve the plug-in mounting of the edge of the large trim panel and the door components, and the edge cannot be covered and hidden, resulting in poor aesthetics.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the deficiencies of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides an outer rearview mirror trim panel and an outer rearview mirror, which are convenient for assembly and can improve the reliability and aesthetics of the assembly.

[0006] To this end, the present application adopts the following technical solution: An outer rearview mirror trim panel is installed on the door sheet metal of an automobile. The outer rearview mirror trim panel includes a sliding buckle and a limiting elastic piece. A buckle hole matching with the sliding buckle and a limiting hole matching with the limiting elastic piece are opened on the door sheet metal. Wherein, the outer rearview mirror trim panel passes the sliding buckle through the buckle hole and slides relative to the door sheet metal to be clamped with the door sheet metal. When the sliding buckle is clamped with the door sheet metal, the limiting elastic piece elastically protrudes into the limiting hole to limit the outer rearview mirror trim panel from sliding reversely relative to the door sheet metal to release the clamping.

[0007] In some of these embodiments, the buckle hole includes a wide mouth part and a narrow mouth part, and the sliding buckle is inserted from the wide mouth part and slides towards the narrow mouth part.

[0008] In some of these embodiments, the sliding buckle includes a connecting part and a hook part arranged at one end of the connecting part. The width of the connecting part is not greater than the width of the narrow mouth part, and the width of the hook part is not greater than the width of the wide mouth part but greater than the width of the narrow mouth part.

[0009] In some of these embodiments, the engaging portion is a plurality of claws that can elastically deform to approach or separate from each other; alternatively, the engaging portion is a non-elastically deformable clamping block.

[0010] In some of these embodiments, the limiting elastic piece is in a cantilever shape, having a connecting end connected to the outer rearview mirror trim panel and a free end away from the connecting end, and the free end abuts against the vehicle door sheet metal.

[0011] In some of these embodiments, a protruding portion is provided on the free end, and the protruding portion is used to protrude into the limiting hole.

[0012] In some of these embodiments, the outer rearview mirror trim panel is a long strip-shaped plate body, which extends in the up-down direction when installed on the vehicle door sheet metal. Among them, the outer rearview mirror trim panel is slidably clamped to the vehicle door sheet metal from bottom to top, and the limiting elastic piece prevents the outer rearview mirror trim panel from sliding downwards.

[0013] In some of these embodiments, the outer rearview mirror trim panel further includes a plurality of sealing rings surrounding the sliding buckle and / or the limiting elastic piece.

[0014] The present application also adopts the following technical solution: An outer rearview mirror, which includes a mirror body and the outer rearview mirror trim panel as described in any one of the above, and the mirror body includes a mounting base, and the mounting base is fixedly connected to the outer rearview mirror trim panel.

[0015] In some of these embodiments, the mounting base is fixed to the vehicle door sheet metal by bolts.

[0016] The outer rearview mirror trim panel provided by the present application includes a sliding buckle and a limiting elastic piece. The outer rearview mirror trim panel passes through a buckle hole on the vehicle door sheet metal through the sliding buckle and slides relative to the vehicle door sheet metal to be clamped to the vehicle door sheet metal. When the sliding buckle is clamped to the vehicle door sheet metal, the limiting elastic piece elastically protrudes into the limiting hole of the vehicle door sheet metal to limit the outer rearview mirror trim panel from sliding reversely relative to the vehicle door sheet metal to release the clamping; the installation by the sliding buckle avoids the depression of the trim panel caused by screw connection, and the pre-hanging of the trim panel can be realized through the limiting elastic piece, effectively preventing the trim panel from sliding reversely to release the clamping, and its assembly is convenient and can improve the reliability and aesthetics of the assembly.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the present application provides an outer rearview mirror trim panel 2, which is installed on the door sheet metal 3 of an automobile. The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 includes a sliding buckle 21 and a limiting elastic piece 22. A buckle hole 301 that cooperates with the sliding buckle 21 and a limiting hole 302 that cooperates with the limiting elastic piece 22 are formed on the door sheet metal 3. Among them, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 passes the sliding buckle 21 through the buckle hole 301 and slides relative to the door sheet metal 3 to be clamped with the door sheet metal 3. When the sliding buckle 21 is clamped with the door sheet metal 3, the limiting elastic piece 22 elastically protrudes into the limiting hole 302 to limit the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 from sliding in the reverse direction relative to the door sheet metal 3 to release the clamping.

[0031] The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 provided by the present application avoids the depression of the trim panel caused by screw connection through the installation of the sliding buckle 21. The pre-hanging of the trim panel can be realized through the limiting elastic piece 22, effectively preventing the trim panel from sliding in the reverse direction to release the clamping. Its assembly is convenient and can improve the reliability and aesthetics of the assembly.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 has an exposed surface that is exposed to form a partial appearance surface of the outer rearview mirror, and an installation surface opposite to the exposed surface. The sliding buckle 21 and the limiting elastic piece 22 are arranged on the installation surface of the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2. In this embodiment, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is clamped with the door sheet metal 3 in a relatively sliding manner. Specifically, the buckle hole 301 has a wide opening part 3011 with a larger opening size and a narrow opening part 3012 with a smaller opening size. The wide opening part 3011 and the narrow opening part 3012 are connected to form a roughly "convex" shape; the sliding buckle 21 is inserted from the wide opening part 3011 of the buckle hole 301 and slides to the narrow opening part 3012 to be clamped with the edge of the narrow opening part 3012. The sliding buckle 21 includes a connecting part 211 and a hook part 212 arranged at one end of the connecting part 211. The width of the connecting part 211 is not greater than the width of the narrow opening part 3012, and of course not greater than the width of the wide opening part 3011 either, so as to be able to move in the wide opening part 3011 and the narrow opening part 3012; the width of the hook part 212 is not greater than the width of the wide opening part 3011 but greater than the width of the narrow opening part 3012, so that the hook part 212 can be inserted from the wide opening part 3011 and cannot be detached from the narrow opening part 3012 in the reverse direction of insertion.

[0033] A plurality of sliding buckles 21 are provided to achieve multiple clamping connections, increase the connection reliability, and prevent the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 from warping. In this embodiment, there are 5 sliding buckles 21. The specific structure of the sliding buckle 21 can be diverse. This embodiment provides two structures of the sliding buckle 21, such as Figure 5As shown: One type is that there is a space in the middle of the hook portion 212. The hook portion 212 is several elastic claws that can be elastically deformed to approach or separate from each other, as shown in the enlarged view in the upper left corner of Figure 3 ; Another type is that the hook portion 212 is a non-elastically deformable clamping block, as shown in the enlarged view in the upper right corner of Figure 3 . In other embodiments, the specific structure of the sliding buckle 21 can also be set with other deformations.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, when the limiting elastic piece 22 clamps the sliding buckle 21 and the vehicle door sheet metal 3, it protrudes into the limiting hole 302 on the vehicle door sheet metal 3. Since in this embodiment, the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and the vehicle door sheet metal 3 are clamped in a relatively sliding manner, when the sliding buckle 21 is clamped with the vehicle door sheet metal 3 in place, the outer rearview mirror trim 2 may slide in the direction opposite to the above-mentioned sliding installation direction under the action of gravity, thereby releasing the clamping. In this embodiment, by setting the limiting elastic piece 22, when the sliding buckle 21 clamps the vehicle door sheet metal 3, it forms an abutting limit with the vehicle door sheet metal 3 to prevent the outer rearview mirror trim 2 from sliding reversely and releasing the clamping.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting elastic piece 22 is in a cantilever shape. It has a connecting end 221 connected to the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and a free end 222 far from the connecting end 221. The free end 222 abuts against the vehicle door sheet metal 3. Further, a protrusion 223 is provided on the free end 222. The protrusion 223 is used to protrude into the limiting hole 302. During the sliding installation process of the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and the vehicle door sheet metal 3, the limiting elastic piece 22 is squeezed and elastically deformed; when the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and the vehicle door sheet metal 3 are slid into place, the protrusion 223 on the free end 222 of the limiting elastic piece 22 just slides to a position opposite to the limiting hole 302, and the protrusion 223 is snapped into the limiting hole 302 under the action of elastic force to achieve limiting. After the outer rearview mirror trim 2 is pre-installed on the vehicle door sheet metal 3 through the sliding buckle 21 and the limiting elastic piece 22, the vehicle door sheet metal 3 and the mounting base 11 of the mirror body 1 of the outer rearview mirror are locked with bolts, that is, the installation between the outer rearview mirror and the vehicle door sheet metal 3 is realized. Since the limiting elastic piece 22 can prevent the outer rearview mirror trim 2 from sliding reversely to release the clamping and can achieve the pre-hanging function, when connecting with bolts subsequently, there is no need to always support the outer rearview mirror trim 2 to prevent it from slipping downwards, which is convenient for assembly and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is a part of the outer rearview mirror. The outer rearview mirror includes a mirror body 1, and the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is connected to the mirror body 1. The mirror body 1 includes a mounting base 11. The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is a long strip-shaped plate body, and the mirror body 1 is connected to one end of the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 in the length direction through the mounting base 11. In this embodiment, during actual use, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 extends in the up and down direction, that is, the length direction of the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is the up and down direction, and the mirror body 1 is connected to the vicinity of the lower end of the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2. The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 has a larger area compared to the mirror body 1, that is, the rearview mirror in this embodiment is a rearview mirror with a large trim panel. The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 not only covers the mounting base 11 but also covers a part of the door sheet metal 3. The outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 constitutes a part of the appearance surface of the outer rearview mirror, making the appearance of the vehicle more beautiful.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 is a plastic part, and several positioning posts 25 and several connecting posts 24 are formed thereon. The several positioning posts 25 and the several connecting posts 24 are used to connect with the mounting base 11. Please pay special attention to Figure 4 As shown, several positioning holes 113 are provided on the mounting base 11 corresponding to the several positioning posts 25, and several connecting holes 112 are provided corresponding to the several connecting posts 24. The positioning posts 25 and the positioning holes 113 constitute a positioning structure that facilitates the alignment of the mounting base 11 and the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2, and the connecting posts 24 and the connecting holes 112 constitute a connecting structure. When the mounting base 11 and the outer rearview mirror trim panel 2 are installed, alignment is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning posts 25 and the positioning holes 113, and they are connected and fixed by screwing through the connecting holes 112 and locking them on the connecting posts 24. In this embodiment, the positioning post 25 is a cross-shaped rib structure with a guiding inclined surface at the top, and the connecting post 24 is a cylindrical screw post with reinforcing ribs. In other embodiments, the positioning post 25 and the connecting post 24 can also be other structures. It can be understood that the positioning post 25 can be provided on either the mounting base 11 or the decorative panel 2, and a positioning hole 113 is provided on the other; the connecting post 24 can be provided on either the mounting base 11 or the decorative panel 2, and a connecting hole 112 is provided on the other, and the connecting post 24 and the connecting hole 112 are connected and fixed by screws.

[0038] Please continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, after the mounting base 11 and the exterior mirror trim 2 are installed and fixed, they are assembled together on the door sheet metal 3. The mounting base 11 can be a plastic part or a metal part such as aluminum alloy, etc., and the present application does not limit the material of the mounting base 11. The mounting base 11 is provided with a plurality of screw-connecting parts 111, and the mounting base 11 is threadedly locked with the door sheet metal 3 through the screw-connecting parts 111. In this embodiment, the screw-connecting part 111 is a bolt column, and a bolt passes through the door sheet metal 3 and is locked on the screw-connecting part 111.

[0039] See also Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of seals are arranged between the exterior rearview mirror and the door sheet metal 3 to form multiple seals. A main seal 4 is arranged on the mounting base 11, and a plurality of secondary seals 5 are arranged on the exterior rearview mirror trim 2. The main seal 4 is a sealing sheet, which covers the mounting base 11. The main seal 4 adopts a sealing sheet, which has a large sealing range and can achieve the sealing of various holes in the coverage area. In this embodiment, the secondary seal 5 includes a plurality of sealing rings 51 surrounding the sliding buckle 21 and the limiting spring sheet 22, and a sealing strip 52 extending along the edge of the exterior rearview mirror trim 2. The sealing ring 51 can be a circular ring or a rectangular ring, and each sealing ring 51 can surround the periphery of one sliding buckle 21 or the limiting spring sheet 22. When there are multiple sliding buckles 21 or the limiting spring sheets 22 adjacent to each other, one sealing ring 51 can also surround multiple peripheries at the same time. The sealing strip 52 is mainly used to achieve a sealed connection at the edge of the exterior rearview mirror trim 2. It can be set in a closed circle, or in a single extended strip, or in a semi-closed shape. In the present embodiment, the sealing strip 52 is roughly in a "匚" shape.

[0040] The seal can be installed on the mounting base 11 and the exterior mirror trim 2 by bonding, snapping, screw connection, interference fit with the groove, etc. In this embodiment, the secondary seal 5 is bonded to the exterior mirror trim 2 by bonding, and the main seal 4 is assembled on the mounting base 11 by a protrusion and groove structure. After the exterior mirror and the door sheet metal 3 are assembled, the main seal 4 and the secondary seal 5 are squeezed and deformed to form a seal. The main seal 4 and the secondary seal 5 can be made of common sealing materials such as rubber and foam.

[0041] In the present application, the outer rearview mirror trim 2 is fixed to the mounting base 11. The mounting base 11 is threadedly and tightly connected to the vehicle door sheet metal 3 through a screwing portion 111. The outer rearview mirror trim 2 is snap-connected to the vehicle door sheet metal 3 through a plurality of snap structures, which can achieve a reliable connection between the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and the vehicle door sheet metal 3, and prevent the outer rearview mirror trim 2 from warping and deforming. By providing a main seal 4 and a plurality of secondary seals 5, multiple independent seals are formed, which can effectively prevent water and wind noise.

[0042] It can be understood that in addition to the mounting base 11, the mirror body 1 further includes a lens, and may further include an electric adjustment component, a heating component, etc. In this application, in order to highlight the installation structure of the outer rearview mirror and the vehicle door sheet metal 3, Figures 2 to 5 some components of the mirror body 1 are hidden in the appendix, which does not affect the understanding of the solution of this application.

[0043] During assembly, first install the mounting base 11 and the outer rearview mirror trim 2. The alignment is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning post 25 and the positioning hole 113, and the mounting base 11 and the outer rearview mirror trim 2 are connected and fixed by screwing a screw through the connection hole 112 and locking it to the connection post 24. Then install the main seal 4 on the mounting base 11, and the secondary seal 5 can be set on the outer rearview mirror trim 2 in advance. Then install the outer rearview mirror trim 2 and the mounting base 11 towards the vehicle door sheet metal 3, so that the sliding snap 21 on the outer rearview mirror trim 2 is inserted into the snap hole 301 on the vehicle door sheet metal 3. Push the outer rearview mirror trim 2 upward so that the sliding snap 21 slides and engages with the vehicle door sheet metal 3 until the limiting elastic piece 22 snaps into the limiting hole 302 under the action of elastic force to achieve limiting. Finally, pass a bolt through the vehicle door sheet metal 3 and the main seal 4 and lock it to the screwing portion 111 of the mounting base 11 to complete the assembly.

[0044] From the description of the specific embodiments above, it can be seen that the outer rearview mirror trim 2 provided in this application includes a sliding snap 21 and a limiting elastic piece 22. The outer rearview mirror trim 2 passes through the snap hole 301 on the vehicle door sheet metal 3 through the sliding snap 21 and slides relative to the vehicle door sheet metal 3 to engage with the vehicle door sheet metal 3. When the sliding snap 21 engages with the vehicle door sheet metal 3, the limiting elastic piece 22 elastically protrudes into the limiting hole 302 of the vehicle door sheet metal 3 to limit the reverse sliding of the outer rearview mirror trim 2 relative to the vehicle door sheet metal 3 and release the engagement. The installation by the sliding snap 21 avoids the depression of the trim caused by screw connection. The pre-hanging of the trim can be achieved through the limiting elastic piece 22, effectively preventing the reverse sliding of the trim to release the engagement. Its assembly is convenient and can improve the reliability and aesthetics of the assembly.

[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
