Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a structure for a camera decorative panel on an automotive fender. Background Technology

[0002] Due to increased customer demand for practicality and novel features in automobiles, cars are often equipped with panoramic cameras to facilitate driving and improve visibility. Currently, in mainstream models, the fender camera cover consists of only inner and outer panels. Because the working angle of the camera is inconsistent with the main mold angle of the part, the parting line on the camera hole side of the part is often exposed. Adding a polishing process increases costs, while not polishing results in poor part quality. A common solution is to add a decorative camera trim cover. This trim cover can be molded at a different angle, eliminating the need for polishing, and is welded to the outer camera trim panel. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problem of needing decorative outer panels for camera decoration, this utility model provides a structure for a camera decorative panel on an automotive fender.

The camera support and the right side are tilted at a certain angle. The upper left side of the camera support has a notch, and the upper part has insertion holes b and c. The outer panel of the camera decorative panel has an installation opening surrounding the exposed surface of the inner panel of the camera decorative panel. The upper inner wall of the installation opening has a pre-installed buckle, which is engaged with the notch. The lower inner wall of the installation opening has ribs b and c, which are at an intersecting angle. Below the ribs b and c are limiting ribs a and b, which are engaged with the outer side of the camera support.

[0009] The outer wall of the camera decorative panel is protruding, and a baffle is provided on the outer side of the exposed surface of the inner panel of the camera decorative panel. The baffle is C-shaped and extends outward in an arc. The camera is located inside the baffle.

[0010] The camera support has buckles e and d on both sides, and a limiting rib c on the upper part of the camera support. Buckles e, buckles d, limiting rib c and limiting rib a surround the camera.

[0011] The technical solution of this utility model features a novel structure and ingenious, simple design. It integrates the inner panel of the camera decorative panel, the camera bracket, and the decorative cover into a single component, reducing the development of parts, avoiding appearance defects, solving rework costs, and improving production efficiency. The inner panel of the camera decorative panel is designed with the appearance features of the camera hole under the decorative cover. The exposed surface of the inner panel can be painted with a high-gloss black finish as required, while the remaining parts are covered by the outer panel of the camera decorative panel. The body color of the outer panel can be painted as needed. The inner and outer panels of the camera decorative panel are assembled by welding ribs. The camera is installed on the inner panel of the camera decorative panel, and then the assembly is installed on the fender of the vehicle body. Attached Figure Description
