[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figure 1-Figure 4 Describes a vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] The vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a body, a hood 20, and a seal 30.

[0030] The front of the vehicle body has an engine compartment, and the inner periphery of the engine compartment is provided with an engine compartment trim panel 10, which can be used to shield and protect the components inside the engine compartment.

[0031] The hood 20 is movably connected to the vehicle body and is used to open and close the engine compartment; the seal 30 is provided on the engine compartment trim panel 10 and is used to seal the gap 21 between the hood 20 and the vehicle body. By providing the seal 30 on the engine compartment trim panel 10, the seal 30 can seal the gap 21 between the hood 20 and the vehicle body, preventing water or dust from entering the engine compartment and damaging related components; and the seal 30 can also cover the gaps in the vehicle 100, beautifying the vehicle body.

[0032] Furthermore, the seal 30 is integrally molded onto the cabin trim panel 10. For example, the seal 30 can be injection molded onto the cabin trim panel 10 using a two-color injection molding process. By integrally molding the seal 30 onto the cabin trim panel 10, the connection between the seal 30 and the cabin trim panel 10 can be made more secure, increasing the reliability of the sealing structure after assembly and preventing the seal 30 from falling off and causing seal failure; moreover, the number of parts can be reduced, and the assembly steps can be simplified.

[0033] According to the vehicle 100 of this utility model embodiment, by providing a sealing element 30 on the engine compartment trim panel 10, the sealing element 30 can seal the gap 21 between the engine compartment cover 20 and the vehicle body, reducing the risk of water or dust entering the engine compartment; and by integrally molding the sealing element 30 onto the engine compartment trim panel 10, the number of parts assembled can be reduced, assembly efficiency can be improved, and the connection between the sealing element 30 and the engine compartment trim panel 10 can be made more stable, thereby improving the reliability of the overall structural assembly.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 The seal 30 is a soft rubber component, integrally injection molded onto the cabin trim panel 10. By integrally injection molding the seal 30 onto the cabin trim panel 10, the connection between the seal 30 and the cabin trim panel 10 is more secure, preventing the seal 30 from falling off. Optionally, the seal 30 can be a rubber component or a silicone component.

[0035] For example, the seal 30 is a soft rubber part, and the seal 30 is interference-fitted with the gap 21. By making the seal 30 a soft rubber part, it is easier and less labor-intensive to install the seal 30 with the gap 21, and the sealing effect is better.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the cabin trim panel 10 is a plastic part, and the sealing element 30 is injection molded onto the cabin trim panel 10. First, the cabin trim panel 10 is injection molded, and then the sealing element 30 is injection molded onto the cabin trim panel 10. By injection molding the sealing element 30 onto the cabin trim panel 10, processing and manufacturing are facilitated, and the connection between the sealing element 30 and the cabin trim panel 10 can be more complete.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 A stepped portion 11 is formed on the cabin trim panel 10, and the seal 30 is integrally injection molded onto the stepped portion 11. By providing the stepped portion 11 on the cabin trim panel 10, the connection between the seal 30 and the cabin trim panel 10 can be made more stable.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The seal 30 is interference-fitted with the gap 21. By making the seal 30 interference-fitted with the gap 21, the sealing effect of the seal 30 can be improved.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the hood 20 is connected to the vehicle body via a hinge, and at least a portion of the seal 30 is used to cover the hinge. By using at least a portion of the seal 30 to cover the hinge, the seal 30 can prevent external water or dust from entering the hinge and causing it to rust or corrode. It can also cover the hinge gap 21, making the vehicle 100 appear as a single unit.

[0040] For example, the seal 30 can be used entirely to seal and shield the hinge, which can reduce the volume of the seal 30, reduce the number of mounting points, and lower costs.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabin trim panel 10 includes a fender corner trim panel 12, which is mounted on a fender 40 on the vehicle body. A seal 30 is integrally formed on the fender corner trim panel 12. By integrally forming the seal 30 on the fender corner trim panel 12, the seal 30 can achieve a full sealing function while being closer to the connection point, resulting in greater reliability.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The seal 30 includes a fixing part 31 and a sealing part 32. The fixing part 31 is connected to the fender corner trim 12, and the sealing part 32 is connected to the upper side of the fixing part 31 and is used to seal the gap 21. By connecting the fixing part 31 of the seal 30 to the fender corner trim 12, the fixing part 31 of the seal 30 is integrally formed and fixed to the fender corner trim 12, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the seal 30 and the fender corner trim 12; by connecting the sealing part 32 to the upper side of the fixing part 31 and using it to seal the gap 21, a dustproof and waterproof effect is achieved.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 The seal 30 also includes an inner extension 33, which is connected to the upper side of the fixing part 31 and extends towards the interior of the cabin. The connection between the inner extension 33 and the seal 32 is the upper connection 34, and the connection between the fixing part 31 and the seal 32 is the lower connection 35. The hood 20 is adapted to abut against the upper connection 34, and the fender 40 is adapted to abut against the lower connection 35. By including the inner extension 33 in the seal 30, the sealing performance of the seal 30 can be improved, and the contact area between the seal 30 and the cabin trim panel 10 can be increased, resulting in a more complete connection between the seal 30 and the cabin trim panel 10. By having the hood 20 abut against the upper connection 34 and the fender 40 abut against the lower connection 35, the seal 30 can fully seal the gap 21 between the hood 20 and the fender 40, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0044] For example, the seal 30 is fitted with the fender 40 and the hood through an interference fit, which makes the sealing effect of the seal 30 better.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2The fender corner trim 12 is snapped into the fender 40. By snapping the fender corner trim 12 into the fender 40, the connection between the fender corner trim 12 and the fender 40 can be made more complete; and, the position of the seal 30 relative to the hinge can be fixed, so that the seal 30 can seal and cover the hinge.

[0046] For example, the fender corner trim 12 has three mounting protrusions 13, and correspondingly, the fender 40 has three mounting grooves. When the fender corner trim 12 and the fender 40 are assembled, the three mounting protrusions 13 are respectively accommodated in the three mounting grooves. For example, the fender corner trim 12 has one first mounting protrusion 14, which is a double-sided buckle, and the fender corner trim 12 also has two second mounting protrusions 15, which are D-shaped buckles.

[0047] For example, the fender corner trim 12 also includes two supports 16. Before fixing the fender corner trim 12, the fender corner trim 12 is first limited in the Z direction by the supports 16, and then the fender corner trim 12 and the fender 40 are fixed by snap-fit ​​connection.
