[0002] Currently, lean production has become an essential component of the production process. Improving product qualification rates is a crucial component in reducing waste and a key challenge in industrialized manufacturing control. Adhesive tape, particularly acrylic foam tape, has emerged as a new method for connecting plastic parts in recent years. It is gaining attention from a growing number of automakers due to its reliable connection, the lack of complex design requirements for bonded products, and the absence of surface defects after bonding. However, as a solid, quick-connect method, adhesive tape also has its own negative attributes. One of these is that it cannot be disassembled or adjusted after bonding, which results in low bonding accuracy and qualification rates.
[0003] In the prior art, when two components are bonded together, due to the deformation of the product itself and the installation workers' proficiency, part of the bonding surface is bonded together before the two components are fully positioned, resulting in positioning failure, causing the product to fail to be correctly bonded to the designed position, and reducing the connection accuracy and pass rate between the two components. Utility Model Content

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0022] The connection structure described in the present invention is to provide a foldable folding part on the first component, thereby splitting the connection step between the first component and the second component into two steps. Therefore, after the first component is positioned on the second component, the folding part is folded and connected to the second component through the colloid, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy between the first component and the second component, which is conducive to ensuring that the first component is connected at the designed position, and can improve the connection accuracy and connection qualification rate between the two.
[0023] Furthermore, by making the first member specifically comprise a main body portion and a folding portion, and by providing a first connecting portion therebetween, the structure is simplified, facilitating folding of the folding portion. The main body portion and the folding portion are integrally formed, with a material reduction groove provided at their connection, and the first connecting portion formed by the material reduction groove, resulting in a simple structure and ease of processing and manufacturing.

For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0043] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0044] Adhesive bonding technology is a common connection method used in daily life and industry, and is widely used. However, in existing technologies, when bonding two components together, due to product deformation and the installation worker's skill level, some bonding surfaces may adhere together before the two components are fully aligned. This causes positioning failure, resulting in the product not being properly bonded to the designed position, reducing the connection accuracy and connection qualification rate between the two components.
[0045] To this end, this embodiment specifically proposes a novel connection structure for connecting a first component 1 to a second component 2. The connection structure includes a positioning portion disposed between the first component 1 and the second component 2, and a bonding portion disposed between the first component 1 and the second component 2. The positioning portion is used to position the first component 1 on the second component 2. The first component 1 has a foldable folding portion 101 and a relief hole 1021 corresponding to the folded folding portion 101. The bonding portion includes a colloid 3 disposed on the folding portion 101 or corresponding to the relief hole 1021 and disposed on the second component 2. The folded folding portion 101 can be bonded to the second component 2 via the colloid 3.
[0046] The connection structure of this embodiment is provided with a foldable folding portion 101 on the first component 1. As a result, the connection step between the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be divided into two steps. Therefore, after the first component 1 is positioned on the second component 2, the folding portion 101 is folded and connected to the second component 2 through the colloid 3. This can ensure the positioning accuracy between the first component 1 and the second component 2, help ensure that the first component 1 is connected at the designed position, and can improve the connection accuracy and connection qualification rate between the two.
[0047] Based on the above design concept, an exemplary structure of the connection structure of this embodiment is referred to as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in, where Figure 1 The first component 1 and the second component 2 are shown in FIG. Figure 2 The diagram shows the state where the second component 2 and the second component 2 are bonded together. Figure 2 The dashed lines in the figure illustrate the folding direction and process of the folding portion 101. For ease of explanation of this embodiment, as a specific example, the first member 1 is generally flat, while the second member 2 is L-shaped. It should be noted that the structures of the first and second members 1 and 2 are not limited to those shown in the figure; any shape that can accommodate the connection structure is acceptable.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in FIG, the first component 1 has a main body 102 and a first connecting portion provided between the main body 102 and the folding portion 101. The folding portion 101 can be folded through the first connecting portion, and the positioning portion is provided between the main body 102 and the second component 2. This structure is simple and facilitates the folding of the folding portion 101. As a further embodiment, continue to refer to FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in , the main body portion 102 and the folded portion 101 are integrally formed, and a material reduction groove 103 is provided at the connection between the two, and the first connection portion is formed by the material reduction groove 103.
[0049] In this embodiment, the main body 102 and the folding portion 101 are integrally formed, with a material reduction groove 103 provided at the connection between the two. The first connecting portion is formed by the material reduction groove 103, resulting in a simple structure and easy processing and manufacturing. Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the first member 1 and the second member 2 are preferably made of plastic to ensure that the first connecting portion has good elasticity, thereby facilitating the folding of the folding portion 101.
[0050] It should be noted that, in addition to forming the main body portion 102 and the folding portion 101 as one piece, the two can also be provided separately. In this case, the first connecting portion can specifically be a hinge or other structure provided between the two.
[0051] In addition, as a further embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in , the folding portion 101 is provided with a boss 1011 protruding to one side. The boss 1011 can be inserted into the avoidance hole 1021 after the folding portion 101 is folded. The above-mentioned colloid 3 is provided on the boss 1011. In this embodiment, by providing the boss 1011 on the folding portion 101 and providing the colloid 3 on the boss 1011, the distance between the folding portion 101 and the second component 2 after folding can be reduced, which facilitates the bonding between the folding portion 101 and the second component 2. At the same time, it is also beneficial to ensure the processing accuracy of the boss 1011, thereby improving the bonding accuracy between the first component 1 and the second component 2. And, as Figure 3 As shown in , as a specific embodiment, the folded portion 101 and the boss 1011 are both rectangular, and accordingly, the avoidance hole 1021 is also a rectangular hole.
[0052] It should be noted that the shapes of the folded portion 101, boss 1011, and avoidance hole 1021 are not limited to the rectangular shapes shown in the figures; for example, they may be circular, as long as the boss 1011 can be inserted into the avoidance hole 1021. Furthermore, it is understood that, in addition to providing the colloid 3 on the folded portion 101, it is also feasible to provide it on the second member 2 corresponding to the avoidance hole 1021.
[0053] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the colloid 3 of this embodiment can be specifically made of acrylic foam tape, which has good adhesion, can improve the connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2, and is widely used and easily available. Of course, in addition to using acrylic foam tape as the colloid 3, other adhesive tapes with adhesive properties are also feasible.
[0054] In addition, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown in FIG , as a preferred embodiment, two folding portions 101 are provided on opposite sides of the main portion 102, and the avoidance holes 1021 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the folding portions 101. This design allows the first component 1 to be bonded to the second component 2 via the two folding portions 101, further improving the bonding strength between the first component 1 and the second component 2.
[0055] It should be noted that the number of folding portions 101 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and can be adjusted as needed. In other words, in addition to having two folding portions 101, it is also feasible to have only one folding portion 101, or to have four folding portions 101 located in the front, back, left, and right directions of the main body 102.
[0056] Still refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in , as a further embodiment, a rib 104 is provided on the first component 1, through which the first component 1 abuts the second component 2. Specifically, the rib 104 is provided on the main body 102. In this embodiment, by providing the rib 104 on the first component 1 and allowing the first component 1 to abut the second component 2 via the rib 104, the contact area between the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be reduced, which helps improve processing accuracy and positioning accuracy between the two components, thereby facilitating the connection of the first component 1 in the designed position and further improving connection accuracy and pass rate.
[0057] The number and arrangement of the ribs 104 are not specifically limited, as long as they can stably contact the second member 2. In addition, in order to further improve the use effect, a second connecting portion is provided on the first member 1, and the second connecting portion is used to connect to the third member. Figure 3 As shown in FIG, as a specific embodiment, the second connection portion is a connection column 105 provided on the main body portion 102, and the connection column 105 has a connection hole. It should be mentioned here that the structure of the second connection portion is not limited to Figure 3 The connecting column 105 shown in the figure only needs to be connected to the third component, and the third component can be any component according to requirements.
[0058] In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the positioning portion of this embodiment includes a positioning hole 1022 provided on the first component 1 and a positioning member provided on the second component 2, and the positioning member can be inserted into the positioning hole. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , as a preferred embodiment, the positioning member is a long strip positioning plate 201 , and a guide surface is provided at the free end of the positioning plate 201 , and the guide surface is used to guide the positioning plate 201 to be inserted into the positioning hole 1022 .
[0059] By using the positioning plate 201 as the positioning member, the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be prevented from rotating relative to each other, thereby improving the positioning effect. At the same time, the provision of the guiding slope facilitates the insertion of the positioning plate 201 into the positioning hole 1022, thereby improving the connection efficiency between the first component 1 and the second component 2. As a further embodiment, two positioning holes 1022 are arranged at intervals, and the positioning plates 201 and the positioning holes 1022 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. Thus, one set of positioning plates 201 and positioning holes 1022 can be used as the main positioning, and the other set of positioning plates 201 and positioning holes 1022 can be used as the secondary positioning, thereby further improving the connection efficiency between the first component 1 and the second component 2.
[0060] It should be noted that, in addition to providing the positioning hole 1022 on the first component 1 and the positioning member on the second component 2, it is also feasible to provide the positioning member on the first component 1 and the positioning hole 1022 on the second component 2. In addition, the positioning member may also be in the form of a positioning post in addition to the positioning plate 201.
[0061] Based on the above description, when the first component 1 and the second component 2 of this embodiment are connected, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in , the first component 1 is first placed above the second component 2, and the positioning piece is inserted into the positioning hole 1022. Then, the folded portion 101 is folded, and the boss 1011 is inserted into the avoidance hole 1021, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be bonded together by the glue 3.
[0062] The connection structure of this embodiment splits the connection between the first component 1 and the second component 2 into two steps: positioning first and then bonding. This significantly improves the pass rate of bonded products and reduces production costs that would otherwise be caused by low pass rates in the process. Furthermore, splitting the process into two steps allows for more precise positioning, which helps enhance the product's refined feel.
[0063] In addition, this embodiment also provides a vehicle, on which the connection structure as described above is provided.
[0064] The vehicle of this embodiment has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned connection structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
