Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a guard plate structure and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Headlights provide illumination for nighttime driving and also signal various vehicle movements. Taillight guards are a common feature in taillight design, securing the lights. Currently, commonly used guards are integrated with the light body, making them prone to deformation and often associated with low guard rigidity, low fixing accuracy after installation, poor compatibility with sheet metal, large gaps between the sheet metal, and unevenness. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application provides a guard plate structure and a vehicle to solve at least one problem existing in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a guard plate structure is provided, comprising: a first guard plate and a second guard plate, the guard plate structure being installed inside the housing; the first guard plate and the second guard plate being fixedly connected via a fixing structure; and both the first guard plate and the second guard plate being fixedly connected to the lamp body; the fixing structure comprising a first mounting foot and a second mounting foot that are detachably connected, the first mounting foot being provided on the first guard plate, and the second mounting foot being provided on the second guard plate. By separately designing the guard plate, the guard plate is fixed to the lamp body, thereby improving the stability of the lamp body when it is fixed, and in this way, the guard plate can be further designed according to the sheet metal shape that needs to be matched, thereby improving the compatibility with the sheet metal and expanding the matching range with the sheet metal.
[0005] Furthermore, the first guard plate includes a main body and an extension, one end of the extension being fixedly connected to the main body and the other end extending away from the main body, and the first mounting foot being disposed on the extension. By disposing the mounting foot on the extension and changing the orientation of the mounting surface of the mounting foot, the installation method is optimized, such that the mounting surface can face the direction of the opening. This allows for direct installation or removal after the hood is opened, eliminating the need for the mounting surface to be perpendicular to the operating surface after the hood is opened, preventing the hood from being completely disassembled, simplifying the installation process, and reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the first guard plate and the second guard plate are arranged relative to each other along a first direction, and the extension portion extends in a direction that has a component in the first direction; the first mounting foot is one of a protrusion or a recess, and the second mounting foot is the other of the protrusion or recess, and the protrusion and / or recess extend in a second direction, with the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. By dividing the first guard plate into a main body and an extension portion, the main body is used to secure to the lamp body, while the extension portion is used to securely connect to the second guard plate. In this way, when the second guard plate is also securely connected to the lamp body, the two can support each other, thereby increasing the stability of the overall structure and achieving a better securing effect.
[0007] Furthermore, the extension portion includes a first unit extending along a third direction and a second unit extending along the second direction, wherein the third direction has a component in both the first and second directions. The first unit of the extension portion is not parallel to the second unit or the main body portion, thereby improving the support effect of the first unit on the second unit, reducing the possibility of fracture at the junction of the first and second units, extending the service life of the guard plate structure, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0008] Furthermore, the extension portion includes a reinforcement unit, one end of which is connected to the first unit and the other end to the main body. The reinforcement unit connects the main body and the first unit, thereby increasing stability by expanding the load-bearing area, providing a better reinforcement effect, reducing breakage or maintenance requirements caused by insufficient structural strength, and further reducing maintenance costs.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of the reinforcing units is multiple, and adjacent reinforcing units are arranged in parallel; the plane on which the reinforcing units are located is parallel to the third direction. By providing multiple reinforcing units, the effect of reinforcing the structural strength is improved. Multiple reinforcing units share the load, which can increase the maximum load threshold and thus improve the structural strength. The number of reinforcing units can be increased according to the structural strength requirements, which has a wide range of applications and is relatively low in cost.
[0010] Furthermore, the plane of the reinforcement unit is perpendicular to the plane of the first unit, and at least one of the reinforcement units extends to the connection between the first unit and the main body. When the angle between the reinforcement unit and the first unit is 90°, the reinforcement unit can achieve the greatest effect in reinforcing the structural strength, thereby reducing the cost required to achieve maximum structural strength and lowering production costs. Furthermore, the reinforcement unit extending to the junction of the first unit and the main body can reduce the possibility of the first unit breaking at the junction with the main body when the extension is subjected to excessive force, further improving the reliability of the device.
[0011] Furthermore, the angle between the third direction and the first direction is greater than or equal to 2° and less than or equal to 10°; and / or the length of the first unit is greater than the length of the second unit. When the angle between the first unit and the main body is within the range, the force between the extension and the first unit will also be within a suitable range, avoiding challenges to the structural safety of the extension due to an excessively large angle between the two, improving the structural strength of the extension, and also better adapting to the sheet metal structure inside the shell to achieve better matching; when the length of the first unit is greater than the length of the second unit, the force on the extension can be mainly distributed in the first unit, further protecting the second unit with relatively low fixing strength.
[0012] Furthermore, the second guard plate includes a main plate and a sub-plate. The main plate is connected to the sub-plate at one end away from the housing, and the main plate is disposed opposite the lamp body. The main plate is provided with a mounting member, and the lamp body is fixed to the main plate via the mounting member. The second mounting foot is located on the side of the sub-plate away from the housing, and the sub-plate is disposed opposite the first mounting foot. The sub-plate of the second guard plate is used to cooperate and fix with the first mounting foot of the first guard plate, so it needs to correspond to the plane of the second unit of the extension of the first guard plate. The mounting member is used to fix the lamp body to the second guard plate, and it works together with the fixing of the first guard plate to the lamp body and the fixing of the first guard plate to the second guard plate to improve the fixing effect of the lamp body.
[0013] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is provided, comprising the guard plate structure as described above; and a vehicle body on which the guard plate structure is mounted; and the lamp body is mounted and fixed to the guard plate structure.
[0014] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application may have the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By designing the guard plate separately, the guard plate that was originally integrated with the lamp body can be designed separately, and the height of the guard plate can be adjusted according to needs to solve the problem of complex shell structure and easy deformation. It is beneficial to match the guard plate with sheet metal, expand the matching range with sheet metal, solve the problem of low matching with sheet metal, improve the installation size accuracy, and reduce the gap when matching with sheet metal.
[0016] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Next, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.
[0023] On the one hand, the present application provides a guard plate structure. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 is an assembly diagram of a guard plate structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 is a front view of a guard plate structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 The figure is a top view of a guard plate structure according to an exemplary embodiment. The guard plate structure provided in this application is used to fix the lamp body 100 and is installed inside the vehicle housing 120. The guard plate structure includes a first guard plate 10 and a second guard plate 20. The first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 are both fixedly connected to the lamp body 100. The first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 are fixed together by a fixing structure 30. The fixing structure 30 includes a first mounting foot 31 and a second mounting foot 32 that can be detachably connected. The first mounting foot 31 is one of a recess or a protrusion, and the second mounting foot 32 is the other of the recess or the protrusion. The first mounting foot 31 is provided on the first guard plate 10, and the second mounting foot 32 is provided on the second guard plate 20. The first mounting foot 31 and the second mounting foot 32 are fixed together. The first guard plate 10 includes a main portion 70 and an extension portion 80. The main portion 70 is used to fix the lamp body 100 and is connected to the extension portion 80. The extension portion 80 is the portion where the first mounting foot 31 is provided. The second guard plate 20 includes a main plate 21 and a sub-plate 22. The main plate 21 is used to fix to the lamp body 100, and the sub-plate 22 is used to set the second mounting foot 32 and fix to the second unit 82 of the extension 80. The main plate 21 and the sub-plate 22 are interconnected. By separately designing the guard plate, the guard plate is fixed to the lamp body through installation, improving the stability of the lamp body when it is fixed. In this way, the guard plate can be further designed according to the sheet metal shape that needs to be matched, improving the compatibility with the sheet metal and expanding the matching range with the sheet metal. Therefore, the problem of complex and easily deformed housing structure can be solved, which is conducive to matching the guard plate with the sheet metal, expanding the matching range with the sheet metal, solving the problem of low matching with the sheet metal, improving the installation dimensional accuracy, and reducing the gap when matching with the sheet metal.
[0024] One end of the extension portion 80 is fixedly connected to the main body portion 70, and the other end extends away from the main body portion 70. The first mounting foot 31 is disposed on the extension portion 80. The first mounting foot 31 is disposed on the extension portion 80 and the orientation of the mounting surface of the first mounting foot 31 is changed, thereby optimizing the installation method. The mounting surface can be oriented toward the hood opening, thereby enabling direct installation or removal after the hood is opened. This eliminates the need for completely disassembling the hood due to the mounting surface being perpendicular to the operating surface. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.
[0025] The main portion 70 of the first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 are arranged opposite each other along a first direction X, and the extension portion 80 extends in the first direction X. The extension portion 80 having a component in the first direction X allows the extension portion 80 to be adjusted in its fixed position to the second guard plate 20 without changing its connection position to the first guard plate 10. This allows the extension portion 80 to adjust its length in the first direction X according to the interior space, thereby changing the fixed positions of the first and second guard plates 10, 20, and improving space utilization. The first mounting foot 31 is a projection or a depression, while the second mounting foot 32 is the other projection or depression. The projection and depression extend in a second direction Y, with the first direction X being perpendicular to the second direction Y. By dividing the first guard plate 10 into a main portion 70 and an extension portion 80, the main portion 70 is secured to the lamp body 100, while the extension portion 80 is secured to the second guard plate 20. This allows the extension portion 80 to support the second guard plate 20 while the second guard plate 20 is also secured to the lamp body 100, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability and achieving a better securing effect. At the same time, after extending in the second direction Y, the fixing surfaces of the first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 are perpendicular to the fixing surface direction when not extended, and the fixing surface originally perpendicular to the hood opening is turned into a fixing surface facing the opening direction, which simplifies the installation process during fixing.
[0026] Through holes are provided in both the first mounting foot 31 and the second mounting foot 32. The first mounting foot 31 and the second mounting foot 32 can be fixedly connected by a fixing part. Specifically, the fixing part passes through the through holes on the first mounting foot 31 and the second mounting foot 32. The fixing part can be a bolt or a combination of a screw and a nut. In this embodiment, the first mounting foot 31 is a recessed structure relative to the sub-plate 22 of the second guard plate 20. The side of the first mounting foot 31 away from the sub-plate 22 is raised and higher than the plane on which it is located; the second mounting foot 32 is a raised structure relative to the extension portion 80 of the first guard plate 10. A countersunk hole 150 is provided on the side of the second mounting foot 32 away from the extension portion 80. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4The figure shows an external view of a guard plate structure according to an exemplary embodiment. The countersunk hole 150 is used to install an external disc 130. The raised portion of the second mounting foot 32 is symmetrically provided with mounting openings 160. The disc 130 is placed in the countersunk hole 150 and is snap-fitted into the mounting opening 160 of the raised portion to achieve snap-fitting of the disc 130.
[0027] Furthermore, a sealing ring 140 is provided on the side of the first mounting foot 31 away from the second mounting foot 32. The sealing ring 140 is annular and is mounted on the first mounting foot 31. The height of the sealing ring 140 is greater than the height of the protrusion of the first mounting foot 31. After installation, the sealing ring 140 is compressed, improving the sealing performance. The second unit 82 of the extension 80 of the first mounting foot 31 is pressed against the sheet metal inside the housing 120 through the sealing ring 140, squeezing the sealing ring 140 in the thickness direction, thereby improving the sealing performance of the overall structure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the annular structure width of the sealing ring 140 is 6 mm, the height of the protrusion of the first mounting foot 31 is 2 mm, and the thickness of the sealing ring 140 is 3 mm. The annular structure width of the sealing ring 140 is greater than 4 mm, and the greater the width, the better the sealing performance.
[0028] One end of the extension portion 80 is fixedly connected to the main portion 70, and the other end extends away from the main portion 70. The first mounting foot 31 is provided on the extension portion 80. Providing the mounting foot on the extension portion 80 optimizes the installation method by changing the orientation of the mounting surface of the mounting foot, so that the mounting surface can face the direction of the opening. This allows for direct installation or removal after the hood is opened, eliminating the need for operation being hindered by the mounting surface being perpendicular to the operating surface after the hood is opened. This avoids completely disassembling the hood, simplifies the installation process, and reduces the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.
[0029] The main portion 70 of the first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, and the extension portion 80 extends in a direction having a component in the first direction X. By dividing the first guard plate 10 into the main portion 70 and the extension portion 80, the main portion 70 is used to be fixed to the lamp body 100, while the extension portion 80 is used to be fixedly connected to the second guard plate 20. In this way, when the second guard plate 20 is also fixedly connected to the lamp body 100, they can support each other, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure and achieving a better fixing effect.
[0030] The extension portion 80 includes a first unit 81 extending along a third direction Z and a second unit 82 extending along a second direction Y. The third direction Z has components in both the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first mounting foot 31 is positioned in the middle of the second unit of the extension portion. The first unit 81 of the extension portion 80 is not parallel to the second unit 82 or the main body 70. This improves the support provided by the first unit 81 to the second unit 82, reduces the likelihood of fracture at the junction of the first and second units 81, 82, increases the service life of the guard plate structure, and reduces maintenance costs. The third direction Z has components in both the first direction X and the second direction Y.
[0031] The extension portion 80 also includes a reinforcement unit 90, one end of which is connected to the first unit 81 and the other end to the main body 70. Multiple reinforcement units 90 are arranged in parallel. This arrangement ensures a more uniform load distribution across the entire product, preventing damage caused by localized stress concentration. Each reinforcement unit 90 shares a portion of the load, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the structure. Furthermore, the parallel reinforcement units 90 create a structural effect similar to that of an I-beam, resulting in greater bending stiffness in the cross-sectional direction and effectively improving the overall stiffness and strength of the product. The plane in which the reinforcement units 90 lie is parallel to the third direction Z. When the reinforcement units 90 are installed perpendicular to the mounting surface, they effectively resist external forces perpendicular to the mounting surface. This makes the reinforcement units 90 the primary load-bearing elements of the structure, improving the overall stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the structure. The vertically mounted reinforcement units 90 distribute concentrated stress over a larger area, reducing stress concentration and thus preventing damage to the structure caused by excessive localized stress. The plane where the reinforcing unit 90 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the first unit 81 is located, and at least one of the reinforcing units 90 extends to the connection position between the first unit 81 and the main body 70 .
[0032] In this embodiment, there are three reinforcement units 90. These units are arranged parallel to each other between the first unit 81 and the main body 70, extending to the connection between the first unit 81 and the main body 70. The reinforcement units 90 connect the main body 70 and the first unit 81, thereby increasing stability by expanding the force-bearing area. This provides a better reinforcement effect, reduces breakage or maintenance requirements caused by insufficient structural strength, and further reduces maintenance costs. Furthermore, multiple reinforcement units 90 enhance the effectiveness of strengthening the structure. Multiple reinforcement units 90 share the force, raising the maximum force threshold and, in turn, increasing structural strength. The number of reinforcement units 90 can be increased based on structural strength requirements, resulting in a wide range of applications and low cost. Furthermore, when the angle between the reinforcing unit 90 and the first unit 81 is 90°, the reinforcing unit 90 can achieve the maximum effect of reinforcing the structural strength, thereby reducing the cost required to obtain the maximum structural strength and reducing production costs. At the same time, the reinforcing unit 90 extends to the junction of the first unit 81 and the main body 70. Such a setting can also reduce the possibility of the first unit 81 breaking at the junction with the main body 70 when the extension part 80 is subjected to excessive force, thereby further improving the reliability of the equipment.
[0033] In this embodiment, the angle between the third direction Z and the first direction X is 3°, the length of the first unit 81 is greater than the length of the second unit 82, and the ratio of the length of the first unit 81 to the length of the second unit 82 is greater than 1.0 and less than 1.5. An angle between 2° and 10° ensures that the force acting between the extension portion 80 and the first unit 81 is within an appropriate range, thereby ensuring the structural safety of the extension portion 80 and improving the structural strength of the extension portion 80. A larger angle may weaken the fixing relationship between the second unit 82 and the main body 70, while a smaller angle may weaken the strength of the reinforcing unit 90. When the length of the first unit 81 is greater than the length of the second unit 82, the force acting on the extension portion 80 is primarily distributed on the first unit 81, further protecting the second unit 82, which has a relatively weak fixing strength.
[0034] The main plate 21 and the sub-plate 22 of the second guard plate 20 can be integrally formed, but there is an angle between the main plate 21 and the sub-plate 22 that is greater than 0° and less than 120°. The main plate 21 is parallel to the main body 70 of the first guard plate 10, and the sub-plate 22 is parallel to the second unit 82 of the extension 80 of the first guard plate 10, so that the second guard plate 20 can be matched and fixed with the main body 70 and the second unit 82 of the first guard plate 10 at the same time, thereby fixing the lamp body 100 within the guard plate structure. The end of the main plate 21 away from the housing is connected to the sub-plate 22, and the main plate 21 is arranged opposite to the lamp body 100. The main plate 21 is provided with a mounting member 110, and the lamp body 100 is fixed to the main plate 21 by the mounting member 110. The second mounting foot 32 is located on the side of the sub-plate 22 away from the housing 120, and the sub-plate 32 is arranged opposite to the first mounting foot 31. The sub-plate 22 of the second guard plate 20 is used to cooperate and fix with the first mounting foot 31 of the first guard plate 10, so it needs to correspond to the plane where the second unit 82 of the extension part 80 of the first guard plate 10 is located, and the mounting part 110 is used to fix the lamp body 100 to the second guard plate 20, thereby improving the fixing level of the lamp body 100.
[0035] During the installation process, the lamp body 100 is first fixed to the main board 21 of the second guard plate 20, and then installed on the first guard plate 10. This ensures that the lamp body 100 can be completely fixed by the first guard plate 10 and the second guard plate 20 to obtain higher stability.
[0036] Another aspect of the present application provides a vehicle comprising the aforementioned guard plate structure and a vehicle body to which the guard plate structure is mounted. The lamp body 100 is mounted and fixed to the guard plate structure. The housing 120 encases the guard plate structure, with sheet metal internally interlocking with the guard plate structure. This ensures a tight seal while reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly of the guard plate structure, improving the securing of the lamp body 100, expanding the guard plate's coverage, and enhancing the guard plate's dimensional accuracy.
