Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to a B-pillar lower trim panel. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, automobiles have become commonplace in households, greatly facilitating people's lives. Over time, people's demands for cars have increased, with interior decorations becoming more luxurious and functions more diverse. However, in the installation process of existing automotive B-pillar trim panels, interference from the snap-fit ​​structure can cause deformation of the panel itself, affecting the misalignment of the cross pins, leading to improper installation or even breakage of the cross pins.

[0003] In summary, this utility model designs a new B-pillar lower trim panel. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a B-pillar lower trim panel that uses a limiting structure combination to simultaneously control gaps and surface differences. Compared to the original structure, the optimized installation method avoids misalignment of the cross pins, which could lead to incomplete installation. This limiting structure is easier to install.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a B-pillar lower trim panel, including a B-pillar lower trim panel body, wherein a Z-direction limiting rib is provided on one side of the connection between the B-pillar lower trim panel body and the B-pillar upper trim panel, and the B-pillar lower trim panel body and the B-pillar upper trim panel are fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure, wherein the snap-fit ​​surface of the snap-fit ​​structure forms an angle of 1°-3° downward with the positive X direction.

[0006] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​surface of the snap-fit ​​structure forms a 1° angle with the positive X direction downwards.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structural design of this utility model is reasonable, eliminating the original cross-pin structure and using ribs to limit the Z-direction gap; a snap-fit ​​structure is used to press the B-pillar trim panel to prevent warping, and the snap-fit ​​surface forms a 1° angle with the X-direction downwards to limit X-direction movement. The above-mentioned limiting structure combination can simultaneously control gaps and surface differences, making installation more convenient, greatly improving installation efficiency, and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-5 The specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a B-pillar lower trim panel, including a B-pillar lower trim panel body 1, wherein a Z-direction limiting rib 3 is provided on one side of the connection between the B-pillar lower trim panel body 1 and the B-pillar upper trim panel 2, and the B-pillar lower trim panel body 1 and the B-pillar upper trim panel 2 are fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure 4, wherein the snap-fit ​​surface 5 of the snap-fit ​​structure 4 forms an angle of 1°-3° downward with the positive X direction.

[0016] It is worth noting that the snap-fit ​​surface 5 of the snap-fit ​​structure 4 forms a 1° angle with the positive X direction downward.

[0017] In this specific embodiment, the B-pillar lower trim panel, by setting a Z-direction limiting rib 3, can effectively control the position of the B-pillar lower trim panel body 1 in the Z direction, preventing it from moving up and down and ensuring installation stability. The optimized limiting structure can avoid the problem of misalignment of the cross pin during installation, ensuring accurate positioning every time. The improved snap-fit ​​structure 4 makes the connection between the B-pillar lower trim panel body 1 and the B-pillar upper trim panel 2 simpler and faster, improving installation efficiency. The snap-fit ​​surface 5 of the snap-fit ​​structure 4 forms a 1°-3° angle with the positive X direction downwards. This design can provide a certain pre-tightening force, enhance the firmness of the snap-fit, and prevent loosening.

[0018] The Z-direction limiting rib 3 in this specific embodiment restricts the vertical movement of the B-pillar lower trim panel 1, ensuring it remains in a fixed position after installation and will not shift due to vibrations or other external forces during vehicle operation. The snap-fit ​​structure 4 is fixed to the B-pillar upper trim panel 2 via the snap-fit ​​surface 5. This design is not only easy to operate but also provides sufficient fixing force to ensure the trim panel will not fall off during use. The snap-fit ​​surface 5 forms a 1°-3° angle with the positive X-direction downwards. This small angle design provides a certain guiding effect during installation, making the snap-fit ​​process smoother, and provides additional pre-tightening force after installation, further enhancing the fixing effect.

[0019] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
