Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to a front carpet device for a vehicle and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The main power distribution box, also known as the MDB (body-main power distribution box), is mainly responsible for distributing current to different electrical devices to ensure the safe and stable operation of the vehicle's electrical circuits.

[0003] The existing main power distribution box is usually located under the seat, and a maintenance hole is usually made in the floor under the seat to facilitate maintenance of the main power distribution box. However, placing it under the seat requires removing the seat for each maintenance or inspection, and even moving the seat is extremely inconvenient due to space constraints. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vehicle front carpet device and vehicle that are easy to maintain and do not produce abnormal noises during use.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A vehicle front carpet unit is installed in the front row of a vehicle; the vehicle front carpet unit includes:

[0007] The main body panel has a foot pedal area and a maintenance hole, with the maintenance hole located in the foot pedal area and the vehicle's main power distribution box located at the maintenance hole.

[0008] A cover plate is provided over the maintenance hole and is detachably connected to the body plate;

[0009] A flexible pad is disposed on the side of the cover plate facing the main power distribution box and is used to clamp between the cover plate and the main power distribution box.

[0010] Understandably, this application, by providing a maintenance hole in the foot area, allows for easy and simple maintenance each time only the foot pads covering the main body plate need to be removed and the cover plate disassembled, enabling inspection or repair of the main power distribution box through the maintenance hole. Furthermore, the use of flexible pads to separate the cover plate and the main power distribution box prevents relative movement and friction noise, significantly improving the user experience.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cover plate includes a skeleton plate and a buffer plate. The skeleton plate covers the maintenance hole and is detachably connected to the body plate. The buffer plate is disposed between the flexible pad and the skeleton plate and is connected to the skeleton plate.

[0012] Understandably, both the frame plate and the buffer plate provide support, effectively increasing the structural strength of the cover. Simultaneously, the buffer plate also acts as a cushion, mitigating impact noises between the main power distribution box and the cover, thus improving the user experience.

[0013] In one embodiment, the buffer plate is bonded to the skeleton plate with adhesive.

[0014] In one embodiment, the skeleton plate has a first side and a second side along the circumference of the maintenance hole; the first side is rotatably connected to the body plate, and the second side is detachably connected to the body plate.

[0015] Understandably, this arrangement allows the frame plate to rotate relative to the body plate on the first side after the second side wall is removed from the body plate, thereby opening and closing the maintenance hole. In this way, the frame plate will not detach from the body plate, effectively preventing the loss of parts and reducing assembly time.

[0016] In one embodiment, a rotating column is provided at the first side portion, and a rotating hole is provided on the main body plate, with the rotating column inserted into the rotating hole;

[0017] The diameter of the rotating hole is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating column.

[0018] In one embodiment, a clamping piece is provided on the side of the body plate away from the skeleton plate. The clamping piece is sleeved on the end of the rotating column away from the skeleton plate and can be limited and abutted against the skeleton plate in the axial direction of the rotating hole.

[0019] Understandably, the clamping plates are designed to prevent the rotating column from detaching from the main body plate.

[0020] In one embodiment, the number of the rotating columns is configured to be multiple, and the multiple rotating columns are spaced apart along the same straight line;

[0021] The number of rotating holes is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of rotating columns.

[0022] In one embodiment, a sub-hook and loop fastener is provided on the second side, and a female hook and loop fastener is provided on the body plate. The sub-hook and loop fastener are connected to the female hook and loop fastener so that the skeleton plate and the body plate are detachably connected.

[0023] It is understandable that the connection between the frame plate and the body plate is achieved through the use of female and male hook and loop fasteners, making assembly and disassembly convenient and simple.

[0024] In one embodiment, the cover plate further includes a tufted fabric sleeve fitted onto the skeleton plate.

[0025] Understandably, by using tufted fabric covers, the overall appearance of the cover is made more refined, thus improving the overall vehicle configuration requirements.

[0026] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0027] A vehicle including the front carpet unit described in the above embodiments.

[0028] Compared to existing technologies, the aforementioned vehicle front carpet device and vehicle, by providing a maintenance hole in the footwell area, allow for easy and simple maintenance each time only by removing the floor mats covering the main body panel and disassembling the cover plate. This enables access to inspect or repair the main power distribution box through the maintenance hole. Furthermore, the use of flexible pads to separate the cover plate and the main power distribution box prevents relative movement and friction noise, significantly improving the user experience.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application's specification are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature and the second feature are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a front-row carpet unit 100 for vehicles, which is mainly installed in the front row of the vehicle for use by front-seat occupants. In this embodiment, the front-row carpet unit 100 is installed in the passenger seat area of ​​the vehicle.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to section 2 to... Figure 4 The vehicle front carpet unit 100 includes a body panel 10, a cover plate 20, and a flexible pad 30. The body panel 10 has a foot area 11 and a maintenance hole 12. The maintenance hole 12 is located within the foot area 11, and the vehicle's main power distribution box 200 is located at the maintenance hole 12. The cover plate 20 covers the maintenance hole 12 and is detachably connected to the body panel 10. The flexible pad 30 is located on the side of the cover plate 20 facing the main power distribution box 200 and is used to clamp between the cover plate 20 and the main power distribution box 200. Thus, by providing the maintenance hole 12 in the foot area 11, each time maintenance or inspection is required, only the foot pad covering the body panel 10 needs to be removed and the cover plate 20 needs to be disassembled to inspect or repair the main power distribution box 200 through the maintenance hole 12, which is not only convenient but also simple. Meanwhile, by setting up a flexible pad 30, the cover plate 20 and the main power distribution box 200 are separated, avoiding relative movement between the two and causing friction noise, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the footwell area 11 includes a first area 111 and a second area 112. The first area 111 is horizontally positioned for the placement of the driver's or passenger's feet when their legs are bent. The second area 112 is located in front of the first area 111 along the length of the vehicle and is inclined relative to the first area 111. The second area 112 is also for the placement of the driver's or passenger's feet when their legs are extended. The maintenance port 12 is located in the second area 112. It is understood that the wiring harness of the main power distribution box 200 runs towards the front compartment of the vehicle, while the second area 112 is closer to the front compartment. This arrangement reduces the amount of wiring harness used and facilitates wiring harness layout.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cover plate 20 includes a frame plate 21 and a buffer plate 22. The frame plate 21 covers the maintenance hole 12 and is detachably connected to the main body plate 10. The buffer plate 22 is located between the flexible pad 30 and the frame plate 21 and is connected to the frame plate 21. Here, both the frame plate 21 and the buffer plate 22 provide support, effectively improving the structural strength of the cover plate 20. At the same time, the buffer plate 22 also provides a buffering function, which can buffer the impact noise between the main power distribution box 200 and the cover plate 20, improving the user experience.

[0049] The skeleton board 21 can be made of polyamide board, polystyrene board, etc. The buffer board 22 can be EPP (Expanded polypropylene) foam board, EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) foam board, etc.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, along the circumference of the maintenance hole 12, the frame plate 21 has a first side portion 211 and a second side portion 212; the first side portion 211 is rotatably connected to the body plate 10, and the second side portion 212 is detachably connected to the body plate 10. This arrangement allows the frame plate 21 to rotate relative to the body plate 10 at the first side portion 211 after the second side wall is removed from the body plate 10, thereby opening and closing the maintenance hole 12. In this way, the frame plate 21 will not detach from the body plate 10, effectively preventing the loss of parts and reducing assembly time.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, a rotating column 213 is provided at the first side portion 211, and a rotating hole 13 is provided on the main body plate 10. The rotating column 213 is inserted into the rotating hole 13; the diameter of the rotating hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating column 213. Thus, the rotating column 213 can move radially within the rotating hole 13, thereby realizing the rotation of the frame plate 21 relative to the main body plate 10. Of course, the rotational connection between the frame plate 21 and the main body plate 10 is not limited to this; it can also be achieved through a rotating shaft, hinge, or other means.

[0052] As a preferred option, such as Figure 8 As shown, the number of rotating columns 213 is configured as multiple columns, and the multiple rotating columns 213 are arranged at intervals along the same straight line; the number of rotating holes 13 corresponds one-to-one with the number of rotating columns 213. Here, by setting multiple rotating columns 213, the connection between the frame plate 21 and the body plate 10 can be made more stable and the rotation more reliable.

[0053] Here, the number of rotating columns 213 can be 4, 6, or 8. Of course, the specific number can be set according to actual needs. Similarly, the number of rotating holes 13 can also be adjusted.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 A clamping piece 14 is provided on the side of the main body plate 10 opposite to the frame plate 21. The clamping piece 14 is sleeved on the end of the rotating column 213 away from the frame plate 21 and can limit and abut against the frame plate 21 in the axial direction of the rotating hole 13. In this way, the clamping piece 14 can limit the rotation of the rotating column 213, thereby preventing the rotating column 213 from detaching from the main body plate 10 during rotation. Here, the number of clamping pieces 14 is also set in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of rotating columns 213, which can be referred to in the specification of the number of rotating columns 213.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 A secondary hook and loop fastener 214 is provided at the second side 212, and a secondary hook and loop fastener 15 is provided on the main body plate 10. The secondary hook and loop fastener 214 is connected to the secondary hook and loop fastener 15, so that the skeleton plate 21 and the main body plate 10 are detachably connected. In this way, the connection between the skeleton plate 21 and the main body plate 10 is achieved by the secondary hook and loop fastener 214 and the secondary hook and loop fastener 15, which is convenient and simple to assemble and disassemble. Of course, it is not limited to this; the skeleton plate 21 and the main body plate 10 can also be detached by a snap-fit ​​structure or a threaded structure.

[0056] In one embodiment, the frame plate 21 is generally square in shape, thus having four sides, one of which is configured as a first side 211, and at least one of the other three sides is configured as a second side 212. In this embodiment, all three other sides are configured as second sides 212, meaning that all three sides of the frame plate 21 have sub-Hook and loop fasteners 214. This makes the connection between the body plate 10 and the frame plate 21 more problematic.

[0057] In one embodiment, the buffer plate 22 and the frame plate 21 are bonded together with adhesive, a convenient and simple method of connection. Specifically, both the buffer plate 22 and the frame plate 21 are provided with a connecting surface 221, which is used to apply adhesive, and then the two are connected to each other. Of course, this is not the only method; the buffer plate 22 and the frame plate 21 can also be connected by heat fusion or other means.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 9 As shown, one of the buffer plate 22 and the skeleton plate 21 is provided with a positioning hole 222, and the other is provided with a protrusion 223. The protrusion 223 is adapted to the positioning hole 222, so that the positions of the buffer plate 22 and the skeleton plate 21 are aligned when they are bonded, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the two.

[0059] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4 As shown, the buffer plate 22 has multiple weight-reducing holes 224 to reduce the overall weight of the cover plate 20.

[0060] like Figure 4 and 8 As shown, the cover plate 20 also includes a tufted fabric sleeve 23, which is fitted onto the frame plate 21. This makes the overall appearance of the cover plate 20 more refined, meeting the requirements of the overall vehicle configuration.

[0061] In one embodiment, the tufted fabric cover 23 covers the skeleton plate 21 and extends to the second side 212. In this way, the tufted fabric cover 23 forms a sub-hook and loop fastener 214, which eliminates the need to set the sub-hook and loop fastener 214, so that the tufted fabric cover 23 can be directly bonded to the mother hook and loop fastener 15.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the flexible pad 30 can be made of non-woven fabric, rubber, or other materials. Of course, it is not limited to these; any component that can prevent frictional noise between the main power distribution box 200 and the cover plate 20 is acceptable.

[0063] This application also provides a vehicle including the vehicle front carpet device 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0064] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
