[0002] Generally, there are three types of columns on a car body. From front to back, they are: the front column (A-pillar), which is located between the engine compartment and the driver's cab, above the left and right rearview mirrors; the middle column (B-pillar), which is located between the front and rear seats of the driver's cab, that is, the longitudinal bar between the two side doors; the rear column (C-pillar), which is located on both sides of the rear seat headrest. For a sedan, the A-pillar, B-pillar and C-pillar are all main parts for supporting the vehicle structure strength and also play the role of door frames. The A-pillar usually consists of an outer A-pillar panel and an inner A-pillar panel. The outer A-pillar panel and the inner A-pillar panel are fixedly connected, and a necessary space is formed between the outer A-pillar panel and the inner A-pillar panel.

[0003] With the popularization of vehicle intelligence, more and more autonomous driving vehicles are operating on the road. Therefore, the driving mode of the vehicle and the passengers have changed. In order to avoid the situation that no one knows when some passengers in the vehicle compartment encounter an accident, some manufacturers will install cameras in various parts of the vehicle according to their own understanding to facilitate specific users to monitor the situation in the vehicle compartment.

[0004] In actual use by some users, there is a strong privacy need. To adapt to the use of this part of users, a cover assembly is installed at the part where the camera is installed to meet the use needs of users. However, the installed cover assembly is prone to move under the inertial force during the driving and parking of the vehicle, and then the cover assembly opens and closes the opening, affecting the actual use of the camera. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, in view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the main purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automobile A-pillar decorative panel capable of placing a camera, which solves the problem that the installed cover assembly is prone to move under the inertial force during the driving and parking of the vehicle, and then the cover assembly opens and closes the opening, affecting the actual use of the camera.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automobile A-pillar decorative panel capable of placing a camera, comprising a main guard plate body and a receiving shell arranged on the surface wall of the main guard plate body. The receiving shell is provided with a receiving cavity having at least one opening, and a cover assembly for blocking the shooting end of the camera is arranged in the receiving cavity; during use, as the closing part in the cover assembly moves to a specified position, the limiting member on the closing part makes an elastic displacement to engage with the protruding part and positions the closing part.

[0007] Further, the cover assembly includes guiding frames arranged on both side walls of the receiving cavity. The side walls of the guiding frames are provided with sliding openings, and the closing part slides in the sliding openings.

[0008] Further, the convex portions are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of the sliding opening, and the closing portion is connected to the convex portions through limiting members.

[0009] Further, the convex portion includes a first convex portion opposite to the closing portion, and a limiting groove recessed in the middle of the first convex portion, and the limiting member is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0010] Further, the limiting member includes a limiting block adapted to the limiting groove, and an elastic groove provided on the closing portion, and the elastic groove corresponds to the limiting block.

[0011] Further, one side of the elastic groove opposite to the limiting block has an inclined surface.

[0012] Further, the closing portion is in the shape of a plate, and a blocking piece is provided on one side edge of the closing portion. When the closing portion moves to a preset position, the blocking piece abuts against the opening.

[0013] Further, the guiding frame is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating shell through a snap structure.

[0014] Further, a protruding retaining wall is provided at one end of the opening located in the inner cavity of the accommodating cavity, and the guiding frame is snap-connected to the retaining wall through a card.

[0015] Further, the inner cavity of the guiding frame covers the opening.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solutions, by providing a cover assembly in the accommodating cavity, and making the limiting member contact the convex portion as the closing portion moves, and under extrusion, the limiting member makes an elastic displacement and is snap-connected to the convex portion to limit the movement of the closing portion. Furthermore, it avoids the random movement of the closure due to the inertia during the driving and parking of the vehicle.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown, it shows the specific structure of the preferred first embodiment of the present utility model, which is an automotive A-pillar trim panel for placing a camera, including a guard plate main body 10 and an accommodating shell 11 provided on the surface of the guard plate main body 10. The accommodating shell 11 is provided with an accommodating cavity 20 having at least one opening 21, and a cover assembly 30 for blocking the shooting end of the camera is provided in the accommodating cavity 20; during use, as the sealing part 31 in the cover assembly 30 moves to a specified position, the limiting part 311 on the sealing part 31 makes an elastic displacement to clamp the protrusion part 33, and the sealing part 31 is positioned. Compared with the existing A-pillar trim panel with a camera, where the camera is embedded in the A-pillar trim panel and appears particularly obtrusive, in this A-pillar trim panel with a camera, by fixing the accommodating shell 11 on one side of the outer part of the guard plate cylinder 10 and installing the camera in the accommodating shell 11, the shooting end of the camera corresponds to the opening 21 at the connection between the accommodating shell 11 and the outside, so that the camera can shoot the situation inside the cockpit through the opening 21. In addition, when users with privacy requirements use it, they can also avoid the opening 21 by moving the sealing part 31 to prevent the shooting end of the camera from shooting the situation inside the cockpit, so as to meet the needs of users as much as possible.

[0031] Specifically, the main body 10 of the protection plate is an A-pillar trim plate. A speaker hole is provided on the A-pillar trim plate. The accommodating shell 11 is arranged beside the speaker hole. The accommodating shell 11 is located on the outer surface of the main body 10 of the protection plate after it is installed on the A-pillar of the vehicle and is integrally formed with the main body 10 of the protection plate. An opening 21 is provided on one side of the accommodating shell 11 corresponding to the speaker hole. The opening 21 communicates with the inner cavity of the accommodating shell 11, so that the shooting end of the camera installed in the accommodating shell 11 can shoot the cockpit from the opening 21. The cover assembly 30 is arranged in the inner cavity of the accommodating shell 11 and can be moved to make the closing part 31 close the inner cavity of the opening 21, so that the camera cannot complete shooting, thereby protecting the privacy of users.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, exemplarily, the cover assembly 30 includes guiding frames a arranged on both side walls of the accommodating cavity 20. A sliding opening 32 is provided on the side wall of the guiding frame a. The closing part 31 slides in the sliding opening 32. In order to make the movement of the closing part 31 open and close the opening 21, the length of the sliding opening 32 for accommodating the closing part 31 needs to be greater than the opening 21. However, in order not to occupy too much space for the accommodating shell 11 itself, the sliding opening 32 cannot be provided on the inner wall of the opening 21. Instead, guiding frames a are installed on the inner wall of the accommodating shell 11. The guiding frames a can be rectangular, and the middle part of the guiding frames a is hollow, which is convenient for the sliding opening 32 to be provided on the two opposite inner walls of the guiding frame a, so that the movement of the closing part 31 sliding in the sliding opening 32 can normally open and close the opening 21.

[0033] As Figure 5 shown, exemplarily, the protruding parts 33 are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of the sliding opening 32. The closing part 31 is connected to the protruding parts 33 through the limiting parts 311. Since the A-pillar trim plate is installed on the A-pillar of the vehicle and the whole A-pillar trim plate is inclined after installation, in order to prevent the closing part 31 from randomly opening and closing the opening 21 with the driving of the vehicle, thereby affecting the normal use of the camera, the protruding parts 33 are fixed at equal intervals on the side edge part of the sliding opening 32 opposite to the closing part 31. The extending direction of the protruding parts 33 is towards the middle of the guiding frame a. To adapt to the protruding parts 33, the closing part 31 is also provided with limiting parts 311 that can be connected to the protruding parts 33, so that after the closing part 31 moves to the specified position, the limiting parts 311 and the protruding parts 33 are elastically locked, thereby preventing the closing part 31 from randomly opening and closing the opening 21 with the driving of the vehicle.

[0034] As Figure 6As shown, exemplary, the convex portion 33 includes a first convex portion 331 opposite to the closed portion 31, and a limiting groove 332 recessed in the middle of the first convex portion 331. The limiting member 311 is adapted to the limiting groove 332. To better match the convex portion 33 with the limiting member 311, the first convex portion 331 in the convex portion 33 is fixed on the inner side wall of the sliding opening 32. Arc surfaces are provided on both sides of the first convex portion 331 corresponding to the moving direction of the closed portion 31, so that the limiting member 311 is more easily deformed under the extrusion of the arc surfaces on the first convex portion 331, and when the closed portion 31 is pushed by the user, it is also convenient for the limiting member 311 to pass through the convex portion 33. In addition, the limiting groove 332 is recessed in the middle of the first convex portion 311, and both sides of the limiting groove 332 are also connected to the first convex portion 311 through arc surfaces, so that the limiting member 311 can pass through the convex portion 33 more smoothly.

[0035] As Figure 7 shown, exemplary, the limiting member 311 includes a limiting block 3111 adapted to the limiting groove 332, and an elastic groove 3112 provided on the closed portion 31. The elastic groove 3112 corresponds to the limiting block 3111. The closed portion 31 is in the shape of a plate and is made of flexible rigid plastic or metal. The limiting groove 3112 forming the limiting member 311 is opened on the side edge of the closed portion 31. The limiting block 3111 is fixed on the side of the closed portion 31 opposite to the convex portion 33, and the tail of the limiting block 3111 is adjacent to the limiting groove 3112.

[0036] Specifically, when the user pushes the closed portion 31 to move along the sliding opening 32, the limiting block 3111 squeezes the elastic groove 3312 through contact with the first convex portion 331, causing the limiting block 3111 to move into the elastic groove 3312. During this process, as the limiting block 3111 moves to the limiting groove 332, due to the recess of the limiting groove 332 on the first convex portion 331, the elastic strip 3114 between the elastic groove 3112 and the limiting block 3111 restores its elasticity, pushing the limiting block 3111 into the limiting groove 332 to form a plug connection, restricting the movement of the closed portion 31 within the sliding opening 32, and thus preventing the closed portion 31 from moving randomly within the sliding opening 32 when the vehicle is driving.

[0037] As Figure 7 shown, exemplary, the side of the elastic groove 3112 opposite to the limiting block 3111 has an inclined surface 3113. By providing the inclined surface 3113, it is easier for the elastic strip 3114 to be squeezed by the limiting block 3111 and move into the elastic groove 3112.

[0038] As Figure 1As shown, exemplarily, the closing part 31 is in the shape of a plate, and a baffle 34 is provided on one side edge of the closing part 31. When the closing part 31 moves to a preset position, the baffle 34 abuts against the opening 21. One end of the baffle 34 passes through the opening 21. Through the arrangement of the baffle 34, the movement of the closing part 31 is restricted, that is, when the baffle 34 moves from one side of the opening 21 to the other side, the opening 21 is opened. Similarly, when the baffle 34 moves from the other side to one side, the opening 21 is closed.

[0039] The guiding frame a is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating shell 11 through a snap structure 40. The snap structure 40 is a prior art and will not be introduced here.

[0040] A protruding retaining wall 211 is provided at one end of the opening 21 located in the inner cavity of the accommodating cavity 20, and the guiding frame a is snap-connected to the retaining wall 211 through a card a1.

[0041] The inner cavity of the guiding frame a covers the opening 21.

[0042] In summary, the design focus of the present invention is that when the user toggles the baffle 34, the closing part 31 moves within the sliding opening 32. When the baffle 34 moves from the right side of the opening 21 to the left side of the opening 21, the limiting block 3111 on the closing part 31 drives the elastic strip 3114 to move into the elastic groove 3112 due to the extrusion of the first convex part 331, so that the limiting block 3111 can move along with the first convex part 331 and correspond to the limiting groove 332. At this time, the limiting block 3111 lacks limitation, so that the elastic strip 3114 restores by its own elasticity and pushes the limiting block 3111 into the limiting groove 332, so that the closing part 31 is limited, thereby avoiding the closing part 31 moving randomly along the sliding opening 32 when the vehicle is running.

[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
