Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a body trim panel and a vehicle pillar assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive intelligence, cameras are often installed on vehicle body panels to capture images of the external environment. These camera-equipped panels typically consist of a glass panel and a plastic base plate. The camera is fixed to the plastic base plate, and the glass panel forms a viewing window area corresponding to the camera. The assembly process of the glass panel and plastic base plate requires the use of various chemical substances, such as polyurethane, VBX super black ink, and adhesives. During the activation and curing process, these chemicals generate moisture and oily volatile substances, forming a fogging film in the viewing window area, which affects camera imaging. Current technology uses a silver paste electroplating process to heat the viewing window area to eliminate the fogging film. However, this method only removes moisture and frost, but cannot remove volatile substances, resulting in poor image acquisition by the camera. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned defects or deficiencies, this utility model provides a vehicle body trim panel and vehicle pillar assembly, aiming to solve the technical problem that existing vehicle body trim panels easily form a fogging film in the viewing window area, resulting in poor image acquisition by the camera.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle body trim panel, including a trim panel body and an isolation kit. The trim panel body includes a mounting base plate and a light-transmitting panel covering the mounting base plate. The mounting base plate is recessed on the side opposite to the light-transmitting panel to form an accommodating space. The isolation kit is placed in the accommodating space and encloses it to form an isolation space with an opening. The opening faces the light-transmitting panel, and the periphery of the opening is sealed and fitted to the light-transmitting panel and at least covers the viewing window area on the light-transmitting panel.

[0005] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting base plate forms an accommodating step around the accommodating space, and the isolation kit includes an isolation block.

The skirt sealing part is placed on the accommodating step and is tightly attached between the mounting base plate and the light-transmitting panel, and is sealed and fitted with the light-transmitting panel.

[0006] In this embodiment of the utility model, the isolation kit further includes a support block, which includes a contoured support portion and a connecting portion. The contoured support portion is fitted onto the outside of the isolation block and fits against the inner wall of the accommodating space. The connecting portion extends outward from one end of the contoured support portion near the skirt sealing portion and is connected to the mounting base plate.

[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, the isolation block is made of an elastic soft material, and the hardness of the support block is higher than that of the isolation block.

[0008] In this embodiment of the utility model, a first mounting hole is formed at the bottom of the accommodating space, a first extension is formed around the periphery of the first mounting hole on the mounting base plate, a second mounting hole communicating with the first mounting hole is formed at the bottom of the isolation space, a second extension is formed around the periphery of the second mounting hole on the isolation body, and the second extension is fitted inside the first extension.

[0009] In this embodiment of the utility model, the skirt sealing part includes a first sealing section, a vent plate and a second sealing section. The vent plate extends from the edge of the opening and forms a venting channel with the mounting base plate. The first sealing section surrounds the periphery of the isolation body and the second sealing section surrounds the periphery of the vent plate. The second sealing section is connected to the first sealing section end to end.

[0010] In this embodiment of the utility model, the skirt sealing part is inclined toward the light-transmitting panel.

[0011] In this embodiment of the utility model, the isolation block further includes a reinforcing part, which extends outward from one end of the skirt sealing part near the isolation body part and rests on the connecting part.

[0012] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting base plate protrudes to form a limiting frame, and the connecting part forms a positioning plane that fits into the limiting frame.

[0013] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting base plate has a connecting hole, and a column is provided on the connecting part. The column passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the mounting base plate.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle pillar assembly, wherein the vehicle pillar assembly includes the aforementioned vehicle body trim panel.

[0015] Through the above technical solutions, the vehicle body trim panel and vehicle pillar assembly provided by this utility model embodiment have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] When using the aforementioned vehicle body trim panel, the mounting base plate is recessed on the side opposite to the light-transmitting panel to form an accommodating space. The isolation kit is placed within the accommodating space and encloses it to form an isolation space with an opening. The camera can be placed within the isolation space. The light-transmitting panel is placed on the mounting base plate and forms a viewing window area corresponding to the camera. The periphery of the opening of the isolation kit is sealed and fitted to the light-transmitting panel, and the opening at least covers the viewing window area on the light-transmitting panel. Volatile substances generated between the mounting base plate and the light-transmitting panel cannot enter the isolation space through the isolation kit, thus preventing the formation of a fogging film in the viewing window area and ensuring the imaging quality of the camera.

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0039] The following description of the vehicle body trim panel and vehicle pillar assembly of this utility model is based on the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle body trim panel, including:

[0041] The main body of the decorative panel includes a mounting base plate 1 and a light-transmitting panel 2 covering the mounting base plate 1. The mounting base plate 1 is recessed on the side away from the light-transmitting panel 2 to form an accommodating space 11.

[0042] Isolation kit 3 is placed in the accommodating space 11 and encloses to form an isolation space 31 with an opening. The opening of the isolation space 31 is set facing the light-transmitting panel 2. The periphery of the opening is sealed and fitted to the light-transmitting panel 2 and at least covers the viewing window area 21 on the light-transmitting panel 2.

[0043] When the aforementioned vehicle body trim is used, the mounting base plate 1 is recessed on the side opposite to the light-transmitting panel 2 to form an accommodating space 11. The isolation kit 3 is placed in the accommodating space 11 and encloses it to form an isolation space 31 with an opening. The camera can be placed in the isolation space 31. The light-transmitting panel 2 is covered on the mounting base plate 1 and forms a viewing window area 21 corresponding to the camera. The periphery of the opening of the isolation kit 3 is sealed and fitted to the light-transmitting panel 2, and the opening at least covers the viewing window area 21 on the light-transmitting panel 2. The volatile substances generated between the mounting base plate 1 and the light-transmitting panel 2 cannot enter the isolation space 31 through the isolation kit 3, thus preventing the formation of a fogging film in the viewing window area 21 and ensuring the imaging quality of the camera.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base plate 1 has a receiving step 13 formed on the periphery of the receiving space 11, the isolation kit 3 includes an isolation block 34, the isolation block 34 includes an isolation main body 341 forming the isolation space 31, and a skirt sealing part 342 extending outward from the periphery of the opening. The skirt sealing part 342 is placed on the receiving step 13, and the skirt sealing part 342 is tightly attached between the mounting base plate 1 and the light-transmitting panel 2, and is sealed and fitted with the light-transmitting panel 2. The skirt seal 342 enhances the seal between the isolation kit 3, the mounting base plate 1, and the light-transmitting panel 2, effectively preventing volatile substances from entering the isolation space 31. The skirt seal 342 is designed to cooperate with the receiving step 13, providing a certain deformation gap for the skirt seal 342 during the downward pressure of the light-transmitting panel 2. This allows the skirt seal 342 to deform towards the mounting base plate 1, preventing gaps caused by excessive overlap between the skirt seals due to insufficient clearance between the mounting base plate 1 and the light-transmitting panel 2, thus ensuring a good seal. Specifically, the skirt seal 342 and the light-transmitting panel 2 are interference-fitted, with an interference amount of approximately 2mm.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the isolation kit 3 further includes a support block 35. The support block 35 includes a contoured support portion 351 and a connecting portion 352. The contoured support portion 351 is fitted onto the outer side of the isolation block 34 and fits against the inner wall of the accommodating space 11. The connecting portion 352 extends outward from one end of the contoured support portion 351 near the skirt sealing portion 342 and is connected to the mounting base plate 1. The support block 35 is used to increase the stability of the overall structure of the isolation kit 3, provide effective support for the isolation block 34, and the connection between the isolation kit 3 and the mounting base plate 1 is achieved through the structure on the support block 35, preventing the isolation block 34 from deforming due to installation and ensuring the reliability of the sealed fit between the isolation block 34 and the light-transmitting panel 2.

[0046] Specifically, both the contour support 351 and the isolation body 341 adopt a contour design and fit tightly together. The inclined surface on the inner side of the isolation body 341 is designed according to the installation angle of the camera to optimize the imaging effect of the camera.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the isolation block 34 is made of an elastic soft material, and the support block 35 has a higher hardness than the isolation block 34. The elastic soft material has good deformation ability, and the isolation block 34 adapts to the small gap between the mounting base plate 1 and the light-transmitting panel 2 to ensure the sealing effect. At the same time, the high hardness of the support block 35 provides sufficient support strength for the isolation block 34, making the overall structure of the isolation kit 3 more stable.

[0048] Preferably, the isolation block 34 is made of silicone, allowing the skirt sealing part 342 to effectively contact the light-transmitting panel 2, ensuring sealing quality. Specifically, the hardness of the isolation block 34 is approximately 60SHA. Further, the isolation kit 3 is integrally molded using injection molding. The material selection of the support block 35 requires its molding temperature to be higher than that of the isolation block 34, thus allowing the support block 35 and the isolation block 34 to be injection molded in stages, ensuring a tight fit between the isolation block 34 and the support block 35 to form a stable whole. During installation, the isolation kit 3 is installed as a single component on the mounting base plate 1. In some embodiments of this utility model, the molding temperature of the isolation block 34 is 180–220°C, and the molding temperature of the support block 35 is also 180–220°C, ensuring that the molding temperature of the support block 35 is higher than that of the isolation block 34. For example, the material of the support block 35 is selected as PEI+GF30, PET+PBT+GF30, etc.

[0049] Furthermore, the isolation block 34 is set to black. The black isolation block 34 has an extinction effect, making the reflectivity of the isolation block 34 less than 1.5%, thereby ensuring the imaging quality of the camera. Compared with traditional decorative panel components, there is no need to apply VBX super black ink to the mounting base plate 1, thereby reducing the generation of volatile substances.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting hole 12 is formed at the bottom of the accommodating space 11, a first extension 14 is formed around the periphery of the first mounting hole 12, a second mounting hole 32 communicating with the first mounting hole 12 is formed at the bottom of the isolation space 31, a second extension 343 is formed around the periphery of the second mounting hole 32, and the second extension 343 is fitted inside the first extension 14 to ensure that the first mounting hole 12 and the second mounting hole 32 are aligned, so as to facilitate the installation of a camera extending into the isolation space 31 from the first mounting hole 12 and the second mounting hole 32.

[0051] Of course, this utility model is not limited to this. The camera can also be installed by directly setting a mounting bracket in the isolation space 31 and achieving communication connection through a wire extending into the isolation space 31, or by configuring a wireless communication module for the camera. If the camera is installed in this way, the structure of the first mounting hole 12 and the second mounting hole 32 can be eliminated.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the skirt sealing part 342 includes a first sealing section 344, a vent plate 345, and a second sealing section 346. The vent plate 345 extends from the edge of the opening and forms a venting channel with the mounting base plate 1. The first sealing section 344 surrounds the periphery of the isolation body part 341, and the second sealing section 346 surrounds the periphery of the vent plate 345, and the second sealing section 346 is connected to the first sealing section 344 end to end. The vent hole can be used to allow water vapor in the isolation space 31 to escape, and since the vent hole is located inside the second sealing section 346, volatile substances between the light-transmitting panel 2 and the mounting base plate 1 cannot enter the isolation space 31 through the vent hole. Specifically, the vent plate 345 is mounted on the connecting part 352, and the connecting part 352 has a through hole for forming a venting channel.

[0053] In this embodiment of the utility model, the skirt sealing part 342 is inclined toward the light-transmitting panel 2. This inclined design can enhance the fit between the skirt sealing part 342 and the light-transmitting panel 2, further improve the sealing effect, and during assembly, the light-transmitting panel 2 squeezes the skirt sealing part 342 to deform toward the mounting base plate 1, avoiding obstruction of the viewing window area 21.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the isolation block 34 further includes a reinforcing portion 347, which extends outward from the end of the skirt sealing portion 342 near the isolation main body portion 341 and rests on the connecting portion 352. The reinforcement portion 347 increases the contact area between the isolation block 34 and the support block 35, which is beneficial for maintaining the shape stability of the isolation block 34. Specifically, the connecting portion 352 includes a connecting ring body portion connected to and surrounding the contoured support portion 351 and several connecting main bodies extending from the connecting ring body portion. The connecting main bodies are used to connect the mounting base plate 1. The reinforcement portion 347 includes a reinforcing ring body portion connected to and surrounding the isolation main body portion 341 and several reinforcing extension portions extending from the reinforcing ring body portion. The reinforcing ring body portion rests on the connecting ring body portion, and the reinforcing extension portions rest on the connecting main bodies.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base plate 1 protrudes to form a limiting frame 15, and the connecting portion 352 forms a positioning plane 354 that fits into the limiting frame 15. The limiting frame 15 is used to position and restrict the light-transmitting panel 2. By providing a positioning plane 354 on the connecting portion 352 that fits into the limiting frame 15, rapid positioning of the isolation kit 3 can be achieved, improving the assembly efficiency of the isolation kit 3 and the mounting base plate 1 by the operators. Specifically, see... Figure 4The support block 35 has three connecting parts 352, one of which has a positioning plane 354. Based on the positioning plane 354, the operator can quickly determine the installation direction of the isolation kit 3.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base plate 1 has a connecting hole 16, and a column 353 is provided on the connecting part 352. The column 353 passes through the connecting hole 16 and is connected to the mounting base plate 1. The connecting hole 16 and the column 353 can be used to achieve both installation and positioning, ensuring the accurate installation position of the isolation kit 3.

[0057] Preferably, the column 353 is made of a hot-melt material. When installing the isolation kit 3, the operator passes the column 353 through the corresponding connecting hole 16, and then performs hot-melt processing on the column 353, so that a limiting step 355 is formed on the lower surface of the mounting base plate 1, thereby preventing the column 353 from coming out of the connecting hole 16. This connection method can avoid the generation of pre-tightening force and is suitable for mounting base plates 1 with light structural strength. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the column 353 can also be set as a threaded column, which can be used with a nut to install the isolation kit 3.
