[0028] This utility model provides a tailgate trim panel matching structure, including a first trim panel 1 and a second trim panel 2. The first trim panel 1 is provided with a first connecting plate 11, and a first joining edge 12 is formed at the connection between the first connecting plate 11 and the first trim panel 1. The second trim panel 2 is provided with a first connecting surface 21 on the side near the first connecting plate 11, and a second joining edge 22. The first joining edge 12 and the second joining edge 22 are clearance-fitted. The first connecting plate 11 is provided with a first snap-fit structure 111 and a first limiting structure 112. The first connecting surface 21 is provided with a second snap-fit structure 211 and a second limiting structure 212. The first snap-fit structure 111 and the second snap-fit structure 211 are snap-fitted along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 212 are abutted along the transverse direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear door uses a first trim panel 1 located on the upper side (i.e., the positive side of the Z-axis) and a second trim panel 2 located on the lower side (i.e., the negative side of the Z-axis). A first connecting plate 11 is provided on the first trim panel 1, and a stepped structure is formed at the connection between the first connecting plate 11 and the first trim panel 1. This stepped structure is the first joining edge 12. A first connecting surface 21 is provided on the second trim panel 2 near the first connecting plate 11, and a second joining edge 22 is provided on the edge of the second trim panel 2. The first joining edge 12 and the second joining edge 22 are joined together with a certain gap. In this embodiment, the gap A = 0.5mm. In actual applications, different gap values can be designed as needed, and are not limited here. The first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 are engaged longitudinally along the vehicle by the first snap-fit structure 111 and the second snap-fit structure 211 (i.e., the first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 are restricted in the X-axis direction by snap-fit), and abutting along the vehicle transversely and vertically by the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 212 (i.e., the first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 are restricted in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction by abutting).
[0030] The tailgate trim panel matching structure of this utility model forms a gap between the appearance surfaces of the first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 2 through a clearance fit between the first joining edge 12 and the second joining edge 22. Furthermore, the first snap-fit structure 111 on the first connecting plate 11 and the second snap-fit structure 211 on the first connecting surface 21 engage longitudinally along the vehicle, limiting the displacement and deformation between the first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, ensuring that the surface difference between the appearance surfaces of the first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 2 meets the requirements. The first limiting structure 112 on the first connecting plate 11 and the second limiting structure 212 on the first connecting surface 21 abut against each other in the lateral and vertical directions of the vehicle, further limiting the displacement and deformation between the first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 in the lateral and vertical directions of the vehicle, ensuring that the gap between the first joining edge 12 and the second joining edge 22 meets the requirements. Compared to traditional technologies, the gap in this utility model can be designed to be smaller while ensuring that the gap and surface difference meet the requirements, improving the appearance quality of the tailgate and making the tailgate more refined.
[0031] Furthermore, the first snap-fit structure 111 includes a first snap-fit groove 1111, and the second snap-fit structure 211 includes a first snap-fit hook 2111. The first snap-fit hook 2111 snaps into the first snap-fit groove 1111, and the first snap-fit hook 2111 has snap-fit surfaces on both sides along the vertical direction of the vehicle.
[0032] Combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first slot 1111 is a rectangular slot, and an iron clip is provided in the first slot 1111. The iron clip is recessed inward to form a snap-fit surface. The first hook 2111 is a double-sided hook, that is, the first hook 2111 has a protrusion on both the positive side of the Z-axis and the negative side of the Z-axis. The side with the protrusion serves as the snap-fit surface. The snap-fit surface of the first hook 2111 contacts the snap-fit surface of the first slot 1111 to achieve snap-fit engagement along the X-axis direction.
[0033] Thus, by engaging the first hook 2111 with the first slot 1111 of the double-hook surface, the surface difference between the first decorative panel 1 and the second decorative panel 2 is better ensured to meet the requirements.
[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of first hooks 2111 are provided at intervals along the extension path of the second joint edge 22 on the first connecting surface 21.
[0035] Combination Figure 4 As shown, there are two first hooks 2111. The second joining edge 22 is a spatial curve, and the first hooks 2111 are spaced along the extension path of the second joining edge 22. In practical applications, the specific number of first hooks 2111 can be determined according to the specific dimensions of the second joining edge 22; here, the specific number of first hooks 2111 is not limited. Correspondingly, combined with... Figure 5As shown, the first connecting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of first slots 1111 at intervals along the extension path of the first joint edge 12. The number of first slots 1111 is equal to the number of first hooks 2111. In this way, the first hooks 2111 are correspondingly engaged in the first slots 1111.
[0036] Thus, by engaging the first hooks 2111 with the first slots 1111, each part of the first joint edge 12 and the second joint edge 22 is affected by the engagement limit, which better ensures that the surface difference between the appearance of the first trim panel 1 and the appearance of the second trim panel 2 meets the requirements.
[0037] Furthermore, the first snap-fit structure 111 includes a second snap-fit groove 1112, and the second snap-fit structure 211 includes a second snap-fit hook 2112. The second snap-fit hook 2112 snaps into the second snap-fit groove 1112, and the second snap-fit hook 2112 has a snap-fit surface on the side near the second engagement edge 22.
[0038] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the second hook 2112 is disposed on the first connecting surface 21, and the second hook 2112 is a one-way hook, with a protrusion on the side near the second mating edge 22, the side of the protrusion serving as the locking surface. Figure 5 As shown, the second slot 1112 is disposed on the first connecting plate 11. The second slot 1112 is a rectangular slot, and its edge near the second mating edge 22 serves as the snap-fit surface. In this way, the second hook 2112 and the second slot 1112 snap-fit together along the X-axis direction, and only contact is formed on the side near the second mating edge 22 to form the snap-fit surface.
[0039] Thus, the second hook 2112 has a snap-fit surface on the side near the second engagement edge 22, so as to snap-fit with the second slot 1112 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Such a single-sided snap-fit can in particular ensure that the surface difference between the second engagement edge 22 and the area near the first engagement edge 12 meets the requirements.
[0040] Furthermore, corresponding to the end of the first joint edge 12, a first groove 113 is provided on the first connecting plate 11, and corresponding to the end of the second joint edge 22, a first rib 213 is provided on the first connecting surface 21. The first rib 213 is engaged with the bottom wall of the first groove 113 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and abuts against the side wall of the first groove 113 along the transverse or vertical direction of the vehicle.
[0041] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the first joining edge 12 has two ends on the positive Y-axis side and the negative Y-axis side, and the second joining edge 22 has two ends on the positive Y-axis side and the negative Y-axis side. Figure 5As shown, corresponding to the two ends of the first joint edge 12, two first grooves 113 are provided on the first connecting plate 11; Figure 4 As shown, corresponding to the two ends of the second joint edge 22, two first protrusions 213 are provided on the first connecting surface 21. One side of the first protrusion 213 is oriented towards the positive X-axis, and this side serves as a snap-fit surface to snap into the bottom wall of the first groove 113 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. At the same time, two sides of the first protrusion 213 are oriented towards the positive and negative Y-axis or the positive and negative Z-axis, respectively, so as to abut against the two side walls of the first groove 113.
[0042] Thus, by engaging the first protruding rib 213 with the bottom wall of the first groove 113, the surface difference near the end of the first joint edge 12 and the end of the second joint edge 22 is ensured to meet the requirements. Furthermore, by abutting the first protruding rib 213 with the side wall of the first groove 113, the gap near the end of the first joint edge 12 and the end of the second joint edge 22 is ensured to meet the requirements.
[0043] Furthermore, the first limiting structure 112 includes a first limiting groove 1121, and the second limiting structure 212 includes a first limiting rib 2121. The first limiting rib 2121 is inserted into the first limiting groove 1121, and the side of the first limiting rib 2121 near the first protruding rib 213 abuts against the inner wall of the first limiting groove 1121.
[0044] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting rib 2121 is disposed on the first connecting surface 21, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting groove 1121 is disposed on the first connecting plate 11, and the first limiting groove 1121 is a rectangular groove. Combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the side of the first limiting rib 2121 closest to the first protruding rib 213 (i.e. the side facing the positive Z-axis) abuts against the inner wall of the first limiting groove 1121.
[0045] Thus, when the first protruding rib 213 engages with the first groove 113, the first limiting rib 2121 engages with the first limiting groove 1121. The side of the first limiting rib 2121 near the first protruding rib 213 abuts against the inner wall of the first limiting groove 1121, which plays a guiding and limiting role, thereby improving the reliability of the engagement between the first protruding rib 213 and the first groove 113.
[0046] Furthermore, the first limiting structure 112 includes a second limiting groove 1122, and the second limiting structure 212 includes a second limiting rib 2122. The second limiting rib 2122 is inserted into the second limiting groove 1122, and the second limiting rib 2122 abuts against the inner wall of the second limiting rib 2122 along the vehicle's transverse and vertical directions.
[0047] Combination Figure 5As shown, the second limiting groove 1122 is disposed on the first connecting plate 11. The second limiting groove 1122 is a rectangular groove, combined with... Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting rib 2122 is disposed on the first connecting surface 21. The second limiting rib 2122 is a cross-shaped limiting rib. The second limiting rib 2122 is inserted into the second limiting groove 1122. The cross-shaped limiting ribs correspond to the vehicle's lateral and vertical directions (i.e., the positive and negative directions of the Y-axis and the positive and negative directions of the Z-axis), and thus abut against the inner wall of the second limiting groove 1122.
[0048] Thus, by inserting the second limiting rib 2122 into the second limiting groove 1122, the second limiting rib 2122 and the inner wall of the second limiting groove 1122 abut against each other along the vehicle's transverse and vertical directions, restricting the displacement between the first connecting plate 11 and the first connecting surface 21 along the vehicle's transverse and vertical directions, and ensuring that the gap and surface difference between the first joining edge 12 and the second joining edge 22 meet the requirements.
[0049] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 11 is provided with a first support rib 114 on the side near the first connecting surface 21, and a plurality of the first support ribs 114 are spaced apart along the extension path of the first joint edge 12, and the first support ribs 114 abut against the first connecting surface 21.
[0050] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of first support ribs 114 on the side near the first connecting surface 21. In this embodiment, a total of six first support ribs 114 are provided. The first support ribs 114 abut against the first connecting surface 21. The distance between the first support ribs 114 and the first joint edge 12 should be set at more than 5mm to avoid the first support ribs 114 from being exposed from the gap and to avoid affecting the appearance quality.
[0051] Thus, by having the first support rib 114 abut against the first connecting surface 21, the surface difference between the appearance surface near the first joint edge 12 and the appearance surface near the second joint edge 22 meets the requirements.
[0052] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of second support ribs 115 on the side opposite to the first connecting surface 21, and the second support ribs 115 are used to abut against the inner panel of the tailgate; the first snap-fit structure 111 includes a first expansion member 1113, and the inner panel of the tailgate is provided with a first mounting hole. The first expansion member 1113 is used to expand after being inserted into the first mounting hole so as to snap into the first mounting hole along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
[0053] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting plate 11 has multiple second support ribs 115 on one side of the first connecting surface 21, and the second support ribs 115 abut against the inner panel of the rear door (usually referring to the rear door sheet metal). Figure 5As shown, the first expansion member 1113 consists of an expansion sleeve and an expansion screw. The inner panel of the tailgate is provided with a first mounting hole (the inner panel of the tailgate is not shown in the figure). After the expansion sleeve is inserted into the first mounting hole, the expansion screw is screwed into the expansion sleeve, causing the expansion sleeve to expand and form a snap-fit engagement with the first mounting hole in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (i.e., the X-axis direction).
[0054] Thus, by providing support points for the first connecting plate 11 through the second support rib 115, it is beneficial to ensure the surface difference between the first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 2; by expanding after the first expansion member 1113 penetrates into the first mounting hole, it can be engaged with the first mounting hole in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, which plays a limiting role for the first connecting plate 11.
[0055] Furthermore, the first connecting surface 21 is provided with a first buckle 214, which is used to engage with the second mounting hole on the inner panel of the rear door along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
[0056] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting surface 21 is provided with two first buckles 214, and the inner panel of the tailgate is provided with a second mounting hole (the inner panel of the tailgate is not shown in the figure). The first buckles 214 are engaged in the second mounting hole along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (i.e., the X-axis direction). Figure 4 As shown, the distance between one of the first latches 214 and the end of the second joint edge 22 closest to the positive Y-axis is L1, and the distance between the other first latch 214 and the end of the second joint edge 22 closest to the negative Y-axis is L2. Preferably, L1 and L2 are both less than or equal to 110mm to ensure the support effect of the rear door inner panel on the second joint edge 22.
[0057] Thus, the first fastener 214 achieves the longitudinal connection and fixation between the first connecting surface 21 and the inner panel of the rear door along the vehicle.
