Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model patent relates to auto parts, in particular to an automotive decorative front face. Background Art

[0002] The intake grille guides air under the fender when the vehicle is running, cooling the engine and other heat-generating components. The design of the intake grille needs to have good strength and ventilation effect, and also take into account the aesthetic appearance. At present, the intake grille is mainly for vehicles with internal combustion engines. Since the front grille of new energy vehicles does not require air intake, the front face of new energy vehicles generally adopts a closed styling design, but it also needs to have an aesthetic design effect to improve its recognition.

[0003] The technical solution disclosed in the patent document with the name of "Automobile Intake Grille Structure" (document number CN210822138U) includes a painted back panel, a plated outer frame trim strip, and a mesh plated grille sheet. The middle of the painted back panel is an open structure. The plated outer frame trim strip is installed circumferentially on the front of the painted back panel. The mesh plated grille sheet is installed in the opening in the middle of the painted back panel and protrudes forward from the opening. The grid of the mesh plated grille sheet is overall honeycomb-shaped and each intake hole unit is a non-equilateral hexagon.

[0004] The technical solution disclosed in the patent document with the name of "An Intake Grille with Trim Strip" (document number CN216069900U) includes a grille body. The grille body includes multiple grille bars arranged at intervals. A decorative strip is provided on the front of any grille bar. A connecting structure is provided between any grille bar and the decorative strip. The connecting structure detachably and fixedly connects the corresponding grille bar and the decorative strip.

[0005] The technical solution disclosed in the patent document with the name of "Intake Grille Assembly and Its Preparation Method" (document number CN115973081A) includes a grille body. The grille body has a body frame. Inside the frame area of the body frame, body grille bars are arranged in a staggered manner. The body grille bars enclose a grille hole area unit arranged in a matrix. The interior grille is connected to the grille body. The front surface of the trim panel unit and the front surface of the body grille bars of the grille hole area unit where it is placed are arranged in a front-back dislocation and / or angular manner. The grille unit of the grille assembly has at least two kinds of diversification in brightness and color. The grille body and the interior grille are connected to each other. The two independent components can be pre-implemented with independent paint spraying operations with different reflective properties and color differences, improving the three-dimensional and dynamic visual effects of the grille.

[0006] The above-mentioned existing literature all relates to the intake grilles applied to fuel vehicles. However, in new energy vehicles, the front face is usually composed of a closed whole panel. In order to improve the aesthetic design effect of the front face, in some models, light spot units are arranged on the front face decorative panel, and by using the partial light transmission or reflection of the light spot units, a unique visual effect is formed. In the prior art, in order to form the light spot units, the front face decorative panel is usually processed by a painting process to make the light spot unit area transmit light or reflect light, that is, no paint is sprayed on the light spot unit area or a paint with a color different from the paint color of the surrounding panel surface is sprayed. However, during the processing of such front face decorative panels, the paint usually cannot be clearly separated outside the area of the light spot units by an obvious demarcation line, and the paint surface at the contour position of the light spot units usually exists in a gradually changing and blurred form, and the paint surface of the light spot units and the surrounding panel surface cannot be well separated, thus forming light spot units with relatively blurred contours, which affects the aesthetics. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides an automotive decorative front face, aiming to make the boundaries of the light spot units on the front face decorative panel clear and improve the aesthetic quality.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted is: an automotive decorative front face, on which a light spot plate is arranged with light spot units that form a light spot area through light transmission or reflection. The light spot plate is arranged in a fitting manner with a background plate. The background plate has hollowing-out units, and the hollowing-out units correspond to the positions of the light spot units and have smooth contours. There is a color difference between the background plate and the light spots formed by the light spot units.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect of the present invention is that: through the mutual cooperation of the background plate and the light spot plate, the hollowing-out units correspond to the positions of the light spot units and have smooth contours, so that the background plate shields the areas on the light spot plate other than the light spot units. The edges of the light spot units present clear contours, and light spot units with clear boundaries for light transmission or reflection can be formed on the light spot plate. Under the shading effect of the background plate, the light spot units present high-sharpness light spot contours, thereby improving the aesthetic quality and remarkable recognition of the automotive front face.

[0022] The following combines the attached Figure 1-12 drawings and related content to further elaborate on the present utility model in detail:

[0023] An automotive decorative front face, on which a light spot plate 10 is provided with light spot units 11 that form a light spot area through light transmission or reflection. The light spot plate 10 is arranged in a fitting manner with a background plate 20. The background plate 20 has hollowed-out units 21, and the hollowed-out units 21 correspond in position to the light spot units 11 and are aligned in contour. There is a color difference between the background plate 20 and the light spots formed by the light spot units 11.

[0024] In the above solution, the background plate 20 is used to block the areas on the light spot plate 10 that do not need to be light-transmitting or light-reflecting (i.e., the areas outside the light spot units on the light spot plate 10). The light spot plate 10 serves as a base plate, and the light spot units can be formed thereon. The background plate 20 and the light spot plate 10 are formed by a two-color injection molding process and are arranged in a fitting manner with each other. The hollowed-out units 21 correspond in position to the light spot units 11 and are aligned in contour. Under the blocking effect of the background plate 20 on the areas on the light spot plate 10 other than the light spot units 11, the hole areas of the hollowed-out units 21 define the boundary areas of the light spot units 11, so that only the areas corresponding to the hole areas of the hollowed-out units 21 on the light spot plate 10 can be light-transmitting or light-reflecting, thereby forming light spot units 11 with clear boundaries. The color difference between the light spot units 11 and the background plate 20 presents a highly recognizable front face with high sharpness, improving the aesthetic design effect of the automotive front face.

[0025] It should be noted that, in order to create a color difference between the background plate 20 and the light spot formed by the light spot unit 11, paint layers with different light transmission properties and / or color shades can be applied on the background plate 20 and the light spot unit 11. Additionally, dark color pigments with light-shielding properties can be added during the preparation of the background plate 20.

[0026] As a preferred solution, the light spot plate 10 is a transparent plate. The light spot unit 11 is formed on the back surface of the light spot plate 10, and the background plate 20 is attached to the back surface of the light spot plate 10. The hole area of the hollowing unit 21 on the background plate 20 surrounds the light spot unit 11. In this solution, the light spot plate 10 is preferably a colorless transparent plate, and the self-color of the background plate 20 is set as the background color on the back surface of the light spot plate 10. The area on the light spot plate 10 corresponding to the hole area of the hollowing unit 21 is not blocked by the background plate 20, and a light-transmitting local area can be formed on the light spot plate 10, and this area constitutes the light plate unit 11.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the above solution where the light spot plate 10 is in the front and the background plate 20 is in the back, in order to improve the reflective effect of the light spot unit 11, a reflective coating (such as a silver coating) with a color different from that of the background plate 20 can be applied on the rear end surface of the light spot unit 11, thereby forming a light spot unit 11 with the corresponding coating color. During the coating process, under the light-shielding effect of the background plate 20, the coating beyond the hole area of the hollowing unit 21 is not visible, and thus a light spot unit 11 with clear boundaries and capable of reflecting light can be formed on the light spot plate 10. When light shines on the light spot unit 11, the light spot unit 11 can show a more distinguishable reflective area relative to the background plate 20, taking into account both aesthetic quality and also having a warning effect, which is beneficial to improving the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.

[0028] Furthermore, as Figure 12 shown, the light spot unit 11 is composed of concave or convex parts provided on the back surface of the light spot plate 10, and the concave or convex parts can be light-transmitting or reflective. The following will be described separately:

[0029] Firstly, the contour of the hole opening of the hollowing unit 21 is the same as and coincides with the contour of the edge of the concave part constituting the light spot unit 11. As shown in parts a and c of Figure 12 ;

[0030] Secondly, the contour of the hole opening of the hollowing unit 21 is the same as and coincides with the peripheral surface contour of the convex part constituting the light spot unit 11. As shown in parts b and d of Figure 12 .

[0031] As an optimal solution, the outer peripheral contour of the cross-section of the concave or convex part of the light spot unit 11 on the plumb plane perpendicular to the vehicle length direction is a rhombus, and the diagonals of the rhombus are arranged in a cross shape in the vertical and horizontal directions. Through the design of the shape of the light spot unit 11, the rhombus-shaped light spot unit 11 has the performance of transmitting and reflecting light at multiple angles. For example, the light sources in front of the vehicle head or on the front side can irradiate the light spot unit 11, and after refraction and reflection, they can be observed by pedestrians and vehicle drivers and passengers at different positions in front of the vehicle head. In addition, the highly sharp light spots presented by the light spot unit 11 are highly recognizable and also carry a warning, which improves the recognition rate and is conducive to improving the safety of pedestrians and driving.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in part c of Figure 12 , the concave part constituting the light spot unit 11 is recessed into the light spot plate 10 in the vehicle length direction to form a conical concave cavity part. Under the arrangement of the rhombus cross-section, the angles of the inner wall surfaces of the conical concave cavity part are different. When viewed from a certain perspective, different surfaces have different reflective effects due to different angles, so that the light spot unit 11 has a unique reflective effect, and different surfaces will show different reflective effects, making the light spot unit 11 more recognizable and enhancing its visual effect. In addition, bright paint can also be sprayed in the corresponding area of the light spot unit 11, and the reflective effect is more obvious.

[0033] In addition to Figure 12 the solution shown in part c of Figure 12 , as shown in part d of

[0034] , the present application further discloses a solution in which the end part of the convex part constituting the light spot unit 11 protrudes backward in the vehicle length direction to form a cone. Different from the above conical concave cavity part in this solution, the conical concave cavity part is replaced by a cone. Under the arrangement of the rhombus cross-section, the angles of the peripheral surfaces of the cone constituting the light spot unit 11 are different. When viewed from a certain perspective, it also has a unique reflective effect, and the cone can be a pyramid. Figure 11 Combined with

[0035] shown, multiple rows of light spot units 11 are arranged at upper and lower intervals, and each row of light spot units 11 is composed of a combination of several light spot units 11 arranged at left and right intervals. The adjacent light spot units 11 in the upper and lower adjacent rows are arranged in a left-right staggered manner, so that a matrix arrangement of light spot units 11 can be formed on the light spot plate 10, and the light spot units 11 are evenly distributed on the light spot plate 10. Figure 12As shown in part e), in this application, a solution is also disclosed where the background plate 20 is placed in front and the light spot plate 10 is placed behind, that is, the background plate 20 is attached to the front of the light spot plate 10. The convex part forming the light spot unit 11 protrudes forward from the light spot plate 10 in the vehicle length direction. The hole area of the hollowing unit 21 on the background plate 20 surrounds the outer periphery of the light spot unit 11, and the gap between the two is filled with an adhesive. When forming the light spot unit 11 in this solution, the background plate 20 can also block the areas on the light spot plate 10 other than the light spot unit 11, allowing only the area corresponding to the light spot unit 11 to transmit or reflect light, forming a light spot unit 11 with clear boundaries. However, for the convex part of the light spot unit 11 that protrudes forward from the light spot plate 10, the front of the background plate 20 is the windward side. If there are pores between the hollowing unit 21 and the convex part forming the light spot unit 11, under the action of wind pressure, it is easy to affect the reliability of the attachment between the background plate 20 and the light spot plate 10. Over time, it may cause the background plate 20 to fall off from the light spot plate 10. At the same time, when the background plate 20 and the light spot plate 10 are not stably attached, during driving, further noise will be generated. Therefore, this solution uses an adhesive to fill the pores between the hollowing unit 21 and the convex part forming the light spot unit 11, which can avoid the direct action of wind pressure on the edge position of the inner end hole area of the hollowing unit 21, achieving the design purposes of reliable attachment and noise reduction. While enhancing the connection firmness between the background plate 20 and the light spot plate 10, it also has the effect of making the edge of the light spot unit 11 clear.

[0036] It should be noted that in the solution where the background plate 20 is placed in front and the light spot plate 10 is placed behind, when the light spot unit 11 needs to be painted, on the premise that the light spot unit 11 is light-transmissive, the area of the light spot unit 11 can be painted on the back of the light spot plate 10. In this way, when observed from the front of the vehicle's front face, the paint surface beyond the coverage range of the hole area of the hollowing unit 21 will be blocked by the background plate 20, and thus a light spot unit 11 with clear boundaries can be displayed. Of course, the light spot plate 10 can also be painted on the front. After painting, a reflective light plate unit 11 is formed, and then the background plate 20 is arranged on the front of the light spot plate 10, using the background plate 20 to block the paint surface on the front of the light spot plate 10 beyond the area of the light spot unit 11, and a light spot unit 11 with clear boundaries can also be formed.

[0037] As a preferred solution, in combination with Figure 1 , 2 shown, for the method where the background plate 20 is placed behind and the light spot plate 10 is placed in front, the plate body of the light spot plate 10 at the edge position extends backward in the vehicle length direction to form a flanging 12, and an arc chamfer is provided at the connection between the flanging 12 and the light spot plate 10. Through the setting of the flanging 12, it can be avoided that the edge of the light spot plate 10 has obvious edges or burrs, which affects the aesthetics. The edge position of the light spot plate 10 is also smoother. After the entire decorative front face of the vehicle is installed on the vehicle head, its cooperation with the deflector of the vehicle head will not look too obtrusive.

[0038] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, in the present application, an outer frame 22 is provided on the edge of the backplane 20, and a tube or a pedestal-shaped connecting seat protruding backward is connected to the back surface of the outer frame 22 and / or the backplane 20. The backplane 20 and the light spot plate 10 are formed by a two-color injection molding process, and connecting seats for connecting other components are arranged on the backplane 20 or the outer frame 22. Compared with the solution of directly arranging the connecting seats on the light spot plate 10, it is more conducive to connecting other components because the backplane 20 can block these connecting seats or components, and the light transmission performance and aesthetics of the light spot plate 10 will not be affected.
