[0011] Furthermore, all the hooks are of the same length, the locking position is located on the side of the hook near the locking opening, and the distance between the locking position and the bottom of the narrow groove increases sequentially along the uniform distribution direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the card slot is a right-angled triangle, one right-angled side of the card slot corresponds to the hook plane, the other right-angled side of the card slot is located on the side away from the bottom of the narrow groove, and the other right-angled side of the card slot is close to the side of the card opening away from the bottom of the narrow groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has a slot on one side, and a thickened protrusion on the side away from the bottom of the narrow groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the buckle plate has two protrusions, each with an clearance opening, and hooks are evenly distributed within each clearance opening, with all hooks in the clearance openings arranged symmetrically. The mounting base has two narrow slots, each with a corresponding locking slot. The two protrusions are respectively inserted into the two narrow slots, and the hooks in the clearance openings are respectively engaged with the two locking slots.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has an adhesive backing layer on the side away from the mounting slot, and the adhesive backing layer is fixed to the side panel sheet metal. The buckle plate has a flange on the side away from the mounting bracket, and the flange is fixed to the front windshield trim strip.

[0016] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with an elongated hole between the two narrow slots. The length direction of the elongated hole is parallel to the length direction of the mounting bracket. A T-shaped screw is provided at the elongated hole, and the T-shaped screw passes through the elongated hole and is fixed to the side panel sheet metal.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has an inclined locking angle and a side locking angle at both ends. The inclined locking angle rests on the bend of the side sheet metal, and the side sheet metal has a groove, in which the side locking angle is engaged.

[0018] By setting tilting and side clamping angles, the stability of the T-shaped screw connection between the mounting bracket and the side sheet metal is ensured. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 2 The shown automotive windshield trim fixing structure includes a mounting bracket 100 and a clip plate 200 mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The clip plate 200 is fixed to the windshield trim 400, and the mounting bracket 100 is fixed to the side panel sheet metal 300 of the vehicle.

[0029] The mounting bracket 100 has an adhesive backing layer 101 on the side away from the mounting slot 111. The adhesive backing layer 101 is fixed on the side panel 300. During installation, it can be directly bonded to the side panel 300. The buckle plate 200 has an integrally formed flange 210 on the side away from the mounting bracket 100. The flange 210 is fixed to the front windshield trim strip 400 by the clip 211.

[0030] like Figure 2-4As shown, the buckle plate 200 has two protrusions 220, each with a clearance opening 230. There are at least two clearance openings 230; in this embodiment, four are used. Each of the four clearance openings 230 has a hook 240 evenly distributed within it. Each hook 240 has an integrally formed locking position 241. The distance between each locking position 241 and one end of the hook 240 is different. The mounting base 100 has two narrow grooves 110, each containing a corresponding... The bayonet 111 has two protrusions 220 that respectively engage with two narrow slots 110. The hooks 240 in the four clearance slots 230 respectively engage with two bayonet 111. All the slots 241 can be engaged into the corresponding bayonet 111. Specifically, the hooks 240 in the four clearance slots 230 and the slots 241 thereon are all symmetrically arranged. In this way, each set of buckle plates 200 and mounting brackets 100 can have two slots 241 that cooperate with two bayonet 111 to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0031] The bottom of the hook 240 is connected to the side of the buckle plate 200 near the bottom of the narrow groove 110. All hooks 240 are the same length. The locking position 241 is set on the side of the hook 240 near the locking opening 111. The distance between the locking position 241 and the bottom of the narrow groove 110 increases sequentially along the uniform distribution direction, so that the locking positions 241 that work at the same time are symmetrical with respect to the entire buckle plate 200 and the mounting bracket 100, ensuring connection stability. Specifically, the cross-section of the locking position 241 is a right triangle. One right-angled side of the locking position 241 corresponds to the plane of the hook 240, and the other right-angled side of the locking position 241 is located on the side away from the bottom of the narrow groove 110. The other right-angled side of the locking position 241 is close to the side of the locking opening 111 away from the bottom of the narrow groove 110. That is, the connection between the hook 240 and the buckle plate 200 and the right-angled side of the locking position 241 are opposite to each other. Compared with the arrangement where they are close to each other, the connection is more secure.

[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 has a bayonet 111 on one side, and a thickened protrusion 120 on the side away from the bottom of the narrow groove 110 to increase the strength of the bayonet 111 at the snap-fit ​​point.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 5-6As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the mounting bracket 100 is provided with an elongated hole 130 between the two narrow slots 110. The length direction of the elongated hole 130 is parallel to the length direction of the mounting bracket 100. A T-shaped screw 131 is provided at the elongated hole 130. The T-shaped screw 131 passes through the elongated hole 130 and is fixed on the side sheet metal 300. Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 has an inclined locking angle 140 and a side locking angle 150 at both ends. The inclined locking angle 140 rests on the bend of the side sheet metal 300 to ensure that one side of the elongated hole 130 is always in close contact with the T-shaped screw 131. The side sheet metal 300 has a groove 301. The side locking angle 150 is locked in the groove 301 for positioning.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
