[0038] The above scheme is further described below with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions used in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer. The implementation conditions not specified are generally those used in routine experiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 , which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, provides a rotatably mounted automobile exterior panel, comprising an exterior panel body 1 , and a latch portion 2 and a buckle portion provided on the exterior panel body 1 .

[0040] The exterior panel body 1 includes an outer panel 1-1 and an inner panel 1-2 fixed on the inner side of the outer panel 1-1, wherein the outer panel 1-1 is a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) panel, which is a high-gloss material and can beautify the appearance of the exterior panel without requiring a painting process, and the inner panel 1-2 is an ASA (ASA plastic) panel with high strength and good weather resistance. The combination of the two panels can ensure the aesthetics and structural strength of the exterior panel.

[0041] In order to facilitate the setting of the latch part 2 and the snap part, a first support part 1-2a for supporting the latch part 2 and a second support part 1-2b for supporting the snap part are formed on the inner plate 1-2, and the first support part 1-2a and the second support part 1-2b protrude a certain height, that is, there is a distance between the first support part 1-2a, the second support part 1-2b and the outer plate 1-1.

The outer diameter of the boss portion 3-2 is larger than the positioning portion 3-1 and the snap-fit ​​portion 3-3. The snap-fit ​​portion 3-3 is arranged to be gradually tapered from the boss portion 3-2 to the outside. The positioning portion 3-1 is arranged in the mounting hole 1-2b l, and the boss portion 3-2 and the snap-fit ​​portion 3-3 are interference fit with the limiting hole 5-2 of the vehicle body 5.

[0046] In order to improve the sealing performance between the exterior panel and the vehicle body 5, an elastic buffer 4 is provided between the first support portion 1-2a and the second support portion 1-2b. One end of the elastic buffer 4 rests on the second support portion 1-2b and the other end is provided with a through hole 4-1 for the latch portion 2 to pass through. Preferably, the elastic buffer 4 is a special-shaped foam.

[0047] In order to further optimize the implementation effect of the present invention, a flange structure 1-3 is provided on the exterior panel body 1 between two adjacent exterior panels, which can prevent light leakage caused by excessive gaps between products and also play a waterproof role.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0049] During installation, insert the latch portion 2 into the positioning hole 5-1 of the vehicle body 5, and at the same time make the latch portion 2 engage with the vehicle body 5 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown), then rotate the outer panel body 1, buckle the buckle 3 into the upper limit hole 5-2 on the body 5, and the buckle 3 and the limit hole 5-2 are interference fit to achieve the fixation of the outer panel and the body 5 (as shown). Figure 7 shown).

[0050] In summary, the exterior decorative panel has a simple structure, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves installation efficiency.
