Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to exterior door trim panels. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation for people. At the bottom of car doors, there are usually exterior door panels. These panels are typically made of plastic or other lightweight, durable materials. These materials have good chemical stability and impact resistance, able to withstand minor collisions and scratches, thus protecting the door from damage. At the same time, the exterior door panels also provide an attractive appearance, making the car look more stylish and dynamic overall.

[0003] The existing door exterior panels require tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches for installation and removal. When replacement is needed, the entire structure must be disassembled, which is inefficient. In addition, the existing door exterior panels are connected to the door by clips. When the door exterior panels are scratched, the clips are easily broken by shearing force, which affects the service life of the door exterior panels. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a door exterior trim panel that solves the problem of easily damaged clips when the door exterior trim panel is scratched, thus extending the service life of the door exterior trim panel. Furthermore, when replacement is needed, the entire structure does not need to be disassembled, improving replacement efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The exterior trim panel of the vehicle door includes a mounting base plate. One side of the mounting base plate is provided with a buckle for connecting to the vehicle door. The other side of the mounting base plate is connected to a pair of detachable connectors. The end of the connectors away from the mounting base plate is connected to an outer panel. The outer panel is provided with a plurality of elastic elements. The connectors are connected to the outer panel through the elastic elements.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the connector is detachably connected to the mounting base plate, which facilitates replacement after the outer panel is damaged, avoiding the problem of having to replace the entire door exterior panel after damage, thus improving replacement efficiency. The connector is connected to the outer panel through the elastic element, which can reduce the impact force on the mounting base plate, extend the service life of the buckle, and thus improve the service life of the door exterior panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer panel is provided with a mounting groove, and a plurality of elastic elements are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the mounting groove. The even arrangement of these elastic elements on the inner wall of the mounting groove allows the outer panel to absorb impact energy when subjected to friction from any direction, thereby reducing the force on the latch.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base plate is provided with a connecting groove, and the connector is inserted into the connecting groove. By connecting the connecting groove and the connector, the outer panel can be easily disassembled and replaced after damage, avoiding the problem of having to completely disassemble existing door exterior trim panels after damage.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting part is provided on the connecting groove. The limiting part improves the stability of the connection between the connecting groove and the connecting member.

[0012] Furthermore, an inclined plate is provided at the upper end of the outer panel, and the end face of the inclined plate abuts against the mounting base plate. The inclined plate prevents rainwater, pebbles, etc. from entering between the outer panel and the mounting base plate from above, thus affecting the use of the door exterior trim panel.

[0013] Furthermore, a first rubber baffle is connected to the lower end of the outer panel, the end face of which abuts against the mounting base plate. Second rubber baffles are connected to the end faces of both sides of the mounting base plate, with the end face of the first rubber baffle abutting against the side of the second rubber baffle. The first and second rubber baffles form a closed space, preventing rainwater, stones, and other dirt from entering between the outer panel and the mounting base plate, thus affecting the use of the door exterior trim panel.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer panel has an internally hollow structure. By making the outer panel hollow, its weight can be reduced, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

[0015] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is fitted onto the connector, and the end face of the rubber sleeve abuts against the outer plate. The rubber sleeve prevents rainwater and other substances from entering the mounting groove during operation, thus avoiding component aging and damage, and extending its service life.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The outer panel is detachably connected to the mounting base via connectors, making it easy to replace after damage, thus avoiding the problem of having to replace the entire exterior door trim panel after damage, as is the case with existing doors.

[0018] 2. The connector is connected to the outer panel through an elastic element, which can reduce the impact force on the mounting base plate, extend the service life of the clips, and thus improve the service life of the door exterior trim panel.

[0019] 3. By evenly distributing elastic elements on the inner wall of the mounting groove, the impact energy can be dissipated when the outer panel is scraped in any direction, thereby reducing the force on the buckle. Attached Figure Description

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 The exterior door trim panel provided in this utility model will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] The exterior trim panel of the car door includes a mounting base plate 1. One side of the mounting base plate 1 is provided with a buckle 10 for connecting to the car door. The other side of the mounting base plate 1 is connected to a pair of detachable connectors 2. The end of the connectors 2 away from the mounting base plate 1 is connected to an outer panel 3. Several elastic elements 4 are provided inside the outer panel 3. The connectors 2 are connected to the outer panel 3 through the elastic elements 4.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the exterior door trim panel structure of this utility model is installed at the bottom of the car door to protect the door from damage. The mounting base plate 1 has several clips 10, which are the same as commonly used clips 10 on the market. A corresponding slot is provided on the car door for the clips 10. The mounting base plate 1 is installed onto the car door through the connection between the clips 10 and the slot, thus realizing the overall structure of the exterior door trim panel of this utility model and its installation on the car door. A pair of detachable connectors 2 are connected to the other side of the mounting base plate 1. The other end of the connectors 2 is connected to an outer plate 3 via an elastic element 4. The connectors 2 enable a detachable connection between the outer plate 3 and the mounting base plate 1, facilitating replacement when the outer plate 3 is damaged. Because existing car door exterior panels are single-layer structures, the entire structure needs to be disassembled and replaced after damage. This disassembly process requires tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches, resulting in low efficiency. In contrast, the new car door exterior panel, with its two-layer design of outer panel 3 and mounting base plate 1, protects the mounting base plate 1 in the event of a scratch. When outer panel 3 is damaged, only outer panel 3 needs to be replaced, improving replacement efficiency. Furthermore, when outer panel 3 is scratched, the elastic element 4 dissipates the impact energy received by the clip 10, thereby extending the service life of the clip 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the connector 2 is dumbbell-shaped and includes a first connecting part 201. The two ends of the first connecting part 201 are fixedly connected to a second connecting part 202. The first connecting part 201 is cylindrical and the second connecting part 202 is disc-shaped.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, an installation groove 5 is provided inside the outer plate 3, and several elastic elements 4 are evenly arranged around the inner wall of the installation groove 5. Preferably, the elastic elements 4 are springs, and there are eight elastic elements 4. One end of the elastic element 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 5, and the other end is connected to the connector 2. When the outer plate 3 is scraped and moves, the elastic element 4 can compress to dissipate energy, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the mounting base plate 1 and extending the service life of the buckle 10. By evenly arranging the elastic elements 4 on the inner wall of the installation groove 5, the outer plate 3 can dissipate impact energy when it is scraped in any direction, thereby reducing the force on the buckle 10.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, a connecting groove 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1. In this embodiment, the connecting groove 7 is U-shaped, with the lower curvature matching the curvature of the second connecting part 202. The upper end of the connecting groove 7 is open for the insertion of the connector 2. A mounting opening in the middle, adapted to the curved surface of the first connecting part 201, allows the connector 2 to be inserted into the connecting groove 7, achieving a detachable connection between the connector 2 and the mounting base plate 1. When the outer panel 3 is damaged and needs to be removed for replacement, the insertion method facilitates installation, avoids the need for complete removal of the door exterior trim panel, and improves replacement efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a pair of limiting parts 11 are provided at the mounting port on the connecting groove 7 for placing the first connecting part 201. When the connector 2 is installed into the connecting groove 7, the limiting parts 11 can lock the first connecting part 201, preventing the connector 2 from coming off the connecting groove 7 during use and improving the stability of the connection.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an inclined plate 8 is provided at the upper end of the outer plate 3. The end face of the inclined plate 8 abuts against the mounting base plate 1 to prevent rainwater from entering between the outer plate 3 and the mounting base plate 1. A sealing strip can be pasted on the end face of the inclined plate 8 to further improve the sealing performance.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a first rubber baffle 6 is provided at the lower end of the outer panel 3. When the outer panel 3 is installed with the mounting base plate 1, the rubber baffle 6 can be bent and deformed to facilitate the installation of the outer panel 3 with the mounting base plate 1. A second rubber baffle 12 is connected to the two end faces of the mounting base plate 1 along the length direction. Both the first rubber baffle 6 and the second rubber baffle 12 have a certain degree of hardness. The first rubber baffle 6 and the second rubber baffle 12 form a sealed space, which can prevent water, stones and other dirt splashed during vehicle operation from entering between the outer panel 3 and the mounting base plate 1, thus affecting the use of the door exterior trim panel.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer panel 3 is designed with an internally hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the outer panel 3 and thus reduce manufacturing costs.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 He Ru Figure 5 As shown, a rubber sleeve 9 is fitted on the connector 2. After the connector 2 is inserted into the connecting groove 7, the end faces of the two ends of the rubber sleeve 9 abut against the outer wall of the connecting groove 7 and the surface of the outer plate 3, respectively. The rubber sleeve 9 prevents rainwater and other substances from entering the mounting groove 5 during driving, which would cause the parts to age and be damaged, affecting their lifespan.

[0042] It should be noted that the working principle of the exterior door trim panel structure of this utility model is as follows: when the exterior door trim panel is scratched, the outer panel 3 is scratched first, and the outer panel 3 protects the mounting base plate 1. When the outer panel 3 is scratched, it moves on the plane of the vertical connecting member 2. Since the connecting member 2 is connected to the mounting base plate 1 and does not move at this time, the movement of the outer panel 3 compresses the elastic element 4, which plays a buffering and energy dissipation role, thereby reducing the force on the buckle 10 and extending the service life of the buckle 10. At the same time, when the outer panel 3 is severely scratched and needs to be replaced, the plug-in connection between the connecting member 2 and the mounting base plate 1 is easy to disassemble. Lifting the outer panel 3 upwards can detach the mounting base plate 1 from the outer panel 3, thereby allowing the outer panel 3 to be replaced, improving the replacement efficiency.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
