[0027] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.
[0028] Referring to Figure 1 The present application provides a door trim panel, comprising a middle panel 10, an armrest 20 and an armrest lower trim panel 30, wherein:
[0029] The middle panel 10 and the door panel are usually rigidly connected by bolts, and a fixed torque is set to ensure the overall stiffness of the middle panel 10 and the surrounding area. This connection mode provides sufficient strength and stiffness to maintain the shape of the door trim panel. By designing reasonable fastening point positions and fasteners, it is ensured that the insertion force is small and the pulling-out force is large during installation.
[0030] A preset cavity 100 is formed between the armrest 20 and the middle panel 10, and the armrest lower trim panel 30 is arranged in the preset cavity 100. The armrest lower trim panel 30 is located at the bottom of the preset cavity 100, and the top of the preset cavity 100 is open. Preferably, the width of the preset cavity 100 is 25-30mm, which ensures that the preset cavity 100 is neither too narrow nor too spacious, and can accommodate common small items.
[0031] In the bottom of the preset cavity 100, the armrest lower trim panel 30, the armrest 20 and the middle panel 10 are connected by screws to ensure the stiffness of the armrest lower trim panel 30 and the armrest 20, to ensure that the armrest lower trim panel 30 and the armrest 20 will not be deformed or damaged when subjected to external force, while maintaining their close fit with the middle panel 10.
[0032] The upper end of the handrail lower trim plate 30 is connected to the frame of the handrail 20 by screws to provide strong fixing force, ensuring that the handrail lower trim plate 30 will not loosen or shift when subjected to force, and the handrail lower trim plate 30 is provided with reinforcing ribs for ensuring the rigidity of the upper end of the handrail lower trim plate 30 during force application. The reinforcing ribs can improve the strength and rigidity of the local area, prevent the handrail lower trim plate 30 from deforming when subjected to force, and thus ensure the stability and durability of the structure.
[0033] The middle end of the handrail lower trim plate 30 is fixed to the frame of the handrail 20 by a metal buckle, which provides a quick and reliable fixing method, facilitating installation and disassembly, and ensuring the stability of the handrail lower trim plate 30 in the horizontal direction, preventing it from swinging or shifting left and right during use. The metal buckle seat controls the limiting of the handrail lower trim plate 30 in the vertical direction through the ribs in the vertical direction, ensuring the precise positioning of the handrail lower trim plate 30 in the vertical direction and preventing it from moving up and down, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the overall structure.
[0034] The handrail lower trim plate 30 has a first plate body 31 and a second plate body 32, the first end of the first plate body 31 is connected to the middle panel 10, the second end of the first plate body 31 is connected to the first end of the second plate body 32, and the second end of the second plate body 32 is connected to the handrail 20.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first direction D1 is set as the direction of gravity, and in the first direction D1, the projection of the second end of the second plate body 32 on the first plate body 31 is closer to the first end of the first plate body 31 than the first end of the second plate body 32. The angle between the extension direction of the second plate body 32 and the extension direction of the first plate body 31 is an acute angle, so that the handrail lower trim plate 30 is designed in a retracting manner, ensuring the comfort of finger operation and reducing the operation force due to the large contact area of the finger when opening the door. All the joints and boundaries of the handrail lower trim plate 30 are hidden, solving the visual defect, and the appearance of the product is more neat without protruding parts or visible gaps, thereby providing a clean and seamless visual effect.
[0036] In the embodiments provided by the utility model, the handrail 20 has a first end and a second end, the first end of the handrail 20 is used for being connected to the middle panel 10, an accommodation space 21 is formed between the second end of the handrail 20 and the second end of the second plate body 32, the accommodation space 21 has an opening 22, the accommodation space 21 is communicated with the preset cavity 100 through the opening 22, the second end of the second plate body 32 supports a light bar 40, and the light bar 40 is accommodated in the accommodation space 21.
[0037] By accommodating the light bar 40 in the accommodating space 21, the light bar 40 is allowed to be integrated into the handrail 20 without occupying external space, while providing a concealed location to install and hide the light bar 40, both providing the function of the door ambient light and maintaining the neat appearance of the door trim, protecting the light bar 40 from external damage and improving its durability.
[0038] Further, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the second end of the handrail 20 is formed with a first surface 23, and the second end of the second plate body 32 is formed with a second surface 33, the first surface 23 and the second surface 33 are opposite inner surfaces of the accommodating space 21, and the two surfaces are opposite inner surfaces of the accommodating space 21, which together define the internal volume of the accommodating space 21. In the first direction D1, a first gap is formed between the first surface 23 and the second surface 33, which is part of the accommodating space 21 and provides the necessary space for the light bar 40, while maintaining the stability of the structure. The first gap is preferably 5mm. The light is irradiated onto the center panel 10 through the opening 22 to achieve the effect of the interior ambient light. By precisely designing the gap between the first surface 23 and the second surface 33, the upper and lower limits of the light emitting area of the door ambient light are controlled, and the consistency, uniformity and continuity of the light emitting area width of the door ambient light are controlled, which can achieve a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
[0039] The opening 22 of the accommodating space 21 is formed between the end portions of the free ends of the first surface 23 and the second surface 33, and the opening 22 of the accommodating space 21 is designed to allow the light of the light bar 40 to pass through, creating the desired ambient effect, avoiding direct exposure of the light bar 40, and the position of the opening 22 ensures that the light of the light bar 40 can be evenly emitted, while maintaining the neat appearance of the handrail 20, improving the aesthetics of the design, while considering the installation and maintenance of the light bar 40, making it easier to replace or repair the light bar 40 without having to remove the entire door trim, and only need to operate through the opening 22.
[0040] Further, in the embodiments provided by the present application, the second direction D2 is set as the horizontal direction, and the second direction D2 is orthogonal to the first direction D1. In the second direction D2, the end portion of the first surface 23 and the end portion of the second surface 33 have a predetermined distance, which is determined in the design to ensure the stability and functionality of the structure.
[0041] The end portion of the first surface 23 is protruded than the end portion of the second surface 33, so that the force during gripping is applied to the area of the handrail 20, avoiding direct contact of the fingers with the hard edge, and improving the comfort of gripping. The handrail 20 can achieve this predetermined distance by reducing the wall thickness, hooking inwardly to the vehicle side and R angle transition. Those skilled in the art can know that this predetermined distance can be determined according to the actual process needs and space position arrangement needs, which is not limited herein.
[0042] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the second plate body 32 is inclined to the first direction D1, and the extension line of the outer surface of the second plate body 32 intersects or is tangent to the end of the second end of the handrail 20. The second plate body 32 is offset from the first plate body 31 by a certain space to reduce stress concentration and avoid structural instability, especially when external force is applied. The arc transition can smoothly connect the two plate bodies, reduce local stress, improve the overall stability and durability of the structure, and at the same time improve the user's tactile experience during operation and reduce the feeling of being pinched.
[0043] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the second end of the second plate body 32 has a clamping groove 34, and the light bar 40 is embedded in the clamping groove 34, which provides a stable support point for the light bar 40 to prevent displacement or falling of the light bar 40 when subjected to external force, and also maintains the neat appearance of the handrail 20 area, ensuring the stability and durability of the door atmosphere lamp during use, making it easier to replace or repair the light bar 40.
