[0031] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.
[0032] In some related technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, the double-material molding of the lamp trim is usually formed by increasing the bonding surface of the two material blocks (such as Figure 1 The area of the b section shown in the figure is used to enhance the strength of the splicing and bonding of the two material blocks. The larger the area of the bonding surface, the higher the strength of the bonding between the two. However, the thickness of the double-material molded product is usually limited. By increasing the length of the bonding surface (i.e., the size of the b section), the overall strength of the bonding can be guaranteed. However, due to the limitation of the wall thickness, the size of the a and c sections cannot be too large. When pulled, the a and c surfaces are easily pulled apart, thereby increasing the risk of the main bonding surface b being pulled apart. Based on this, the present application adds a structure perpendicular to the a and c surfaces on the bonding surface, and increases the bonding strength of the two material blocks in the direction perpendicular to the a and c surfaces through the cooperation of the newly added structure, thereby preventing the two material blocks from being pulled apart after being bonded.
[0033] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the lamp decorative plate of some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the lamp trim 200 includes: a first component 201, which is used to be installed on the side of the tail lamp of the vehicle, wherein the first component 201 has a groove 202 (as shown in the enlarged detail Figure 2-1 ), and wherein the width of the groove 202 at a first side located at the edge of the first component 201 is smaller than the width at the opposite side of the first side; and a second component 203, wherein the second component 203 has a protrusion 204 (as shown in the enlarged detail Figure 2-2 As shown), and wherein the shape of the protrusion 204 matches the groove 202 so as to be embedded in the groove 202, wherein the combination of the first component 201 and the second component 203 is used to be installed on the side water flow channel of the vehicle, and wherein the side water flow channel is located on one side of the taillight of the vehicle.
[0034] Thus, by designing the fitting structure of the protrusions and grooves, the tight combination of the first component 201 and the second component 203 can be ensured, avoiding loosening or misalignment, and improving the stability of the lamp trim 200.
[0035] Figure 3 Fig. 4 shows a schematic structural view of the splicing and combination of the groove 202 on the first component 201 and the protrusion 204 on the second component 203 in the lamp trim 300 of some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0036] According to some embodiments, the second component has an L-shaped structure, wherein the second component has a first plurality of the protrusions at the corner of the L-shaped structure.
[0037] It can be understood that the design of the L-shaped structure can effectively adapt to complex vehicle contour lines, especially in the corner area at the connection between the lamp and the side body gutter. By providing a plurality of protrusions at the corner of the L-shaped structure, the combination in this critical area is ensured to be more stable. At the same time, the multiple distributions of the protrusions cooperate with the corresponding grooves, which can further enhance the assembly stability and prevent detachment and displacement.
[0038] According to some embodiments, the second component has a second plurality of the protrusions at the end of the long side of the L-shaped structure away from the corner.
[0039] By providing a plurality of protrusions at the end of the long side of the L-shaped structure and cooperating with the corresponding grooves on the first component, the bonding firmness of the lamp trim along the long side direction is enhanced. This design can provide better anti-seismic effect during vehicle operation, reduce the loosening or offset of parts caused by vehicle vibration or external force, thereby improving the durability and safety of the lamp trim.
[0040] According to some embodiments, during the manufacturing process of the lamp trim, the second component is formed based on the first component. Forming the first component first can ensure the frame and shape accuracy of the overall structure of the lamp trim.
[0041] According to some embodiments, the second component is fixed on the first component by injection molding, wherein the protrusions are embedded in the corresponding grooves during the injection molding process.
[0042] Based on the pre-formed first component, the injection molding process of the second component can be more precisely controlled, thereby ensuring the precise matching of the protrusions and grooves, and improving the quality and consistency of the product. In addition, directly embedding the second component into the grooves of the first component during the injection molding process not only saves the assembly process, but also ensures the tight fit of the protrusions and grooves. The high precision during the injection molding process can further reduce the tolerance, ensure the firmness of the combination and the stability of the structure, and avoid the errors that may occur during the traditional mechanical assembly process.
[0043] According to some embodiments, the first component has a greater hardness than the second component.
[0044] By using a harder material to make the first component, the overall structural strength and durability of the lamp trim can be increased. The relatively softer second component can achieve elastic deformation during interference installation, thereby providing good sealing and shockproof effects. This differentiated combination of materials helps optimize structural performance while improving assembly accuracy and lifespan.
[0045] According to some embodiments, the first component is made of hard plastic and the second component is made of rubber.
[0046] The use of hard plastic ensures the rigidity and wear resistance of the lamp trim, while the elastic properties of rubber materials make it suitable for interference fit applications. Rubber can produce a sealing effect through interference deformation during assembly, preventing the entry of external water, dust, etc., and improving the sealing performance of the trim. At the same time, the elasticity of rubber can buffer external impacts and protect the lamp from damage.
[0047] According to some embodiments, the space on the side surrounding water channel for accommodating the second component is smaller than the size of the second component so as to interfere with the second component made of rubber.
[0048] By designing the size difference between the side water flow channel and the second component, it is ensured that the rubber material undergoes elastic deformation during the assembly process, thereby achieving interference fit. At the same time, the interference design between the second component 203 and the water flow channel can achieve the fastening effect between the lamp trim 200 and the side water flow channel, further improving the assembly stability and sealing of the lamp trim 200, and enhancing the waterproof and dustproof effect of the connection between the vehicle lamp and the water flow channel. At the same time, this design improves the fixing effect of the lamp trim, and increases the stability after assembly through the elastic rebound force of the rubber, while also providing waterproof and dustproof effects to ensure the reliability of the vehicle during operation.
[0049] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the lamp decorative plate of some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the lamp trim panel 200 is installed on the side of the vehicle taillight 402 to cover the installation structure of the vehicle taillight 402, improve the appearance of the entire vehicle, and enhance the integrity of the appearance of the entire vehicle.
[0050] Figure 5 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the AA direction. Figure 5As shown, due to the interference effect, the second component 203 and the first component 201 receive a force in the x-direction (perpendicular to the surface of the side wall gutter 401) at the splicing part from the side wall gutter 401. When the structure of the protrusion and groove fit described in this application is not added, this x-direction force is converted into a tensile force perpendicular to the splicing surface of the second component 203 and the first component 201, which easily pulls apart the splicing surface of the second component 203 and the first component 201, resulting in the separation of the two material blocks from each other. After adopting the structure of the protrusion and groove fit described in this application, the force perpendicular to the vertical splicing surface of the two material blocks will act on the structure of the protrusion and groove fit, thereby reducing the risk of the two material blocks being pulled apart and improving the overall stability of the lamp trim panel.
