Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handle technology, specifically a handle mating structure. Background Technology
[0002] During the assembly of automotive interior trim, the connection between the C-pillar trim and the right rear side panel has a significant impact on the overall quality of the interior. Traditional connection methods often struggle to precisely control the tolerances between the two, leading to uneven gaps and loose fits after assembly. This not only affects the aesthetics of the interior but may also cause rattling noises due to vibrations during vehicle operation, reducing ride comfort and the overall quality of the vehicle. Therefore, further optimization is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a handle-fitting structure that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a handle cooperation structure, including a C-pillar trim panel, a right rear side trim panel and an auxiliary handle, wherein the surface of the C-pillar trim panel is provided with a first groove, the surface of the right rear side trim panel is provided with a second groove, one end of the auxiliary handle is provided with a first protrusion and is located inside the first groove, and the other end of the auxiliary handle is provided with a second protrusion and is located inside the second groove.
[0005] Preferably, one end of the C-pillar trim panel along the first direction is fixedly connected to a mating plate, and the other end of the mating plate is inserted into the interior of one end of the right rear side trim panel. The inner wall of the right rear side trim panel near the mating plate is provided with a baffle to limit its movement.
[0006] Preferably, the end of the auxiliary handle near the first protrusion is arc-shaped, and the end of the auxiliary handle near the second protrusion is inclined and fits against the surface of the right rear side panel.
[0007] Preferably, the shape of the first protrusion matches the shape of the first groove, and its depth matches the height of the first groove, so that the auxiliary handle can be firmly locked inside the first groove, and the shape of the second protrusion matches the shape of the second groove.
[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary handle is a one-piece molded structure, and its material has high strength and toughness to ensure that it maintains a taut effect on the C-pillar trim panel and the right rear side trim panel during long-term use.
[0009] Preferably, the C-pillar trim panel and the first groove are integrally injection molded, and the right rear side trim panel and the second groove are integrally injection molded, to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This handle fitting structure, through the precise matching of the first groove on the C-pillar trim panel with the protrusion one at one end of the auxiliary handle, and the second groove on the right rear side trim panel with the protrusion two at the other end of the auxiliary handle, can effectively guide the relative position of each component during assembly, control the assembly tolerance between the C-pillar trim panel and the right rear side trim panel within a very small range, and achieve a tight fit. This not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of assembly, but also reduces rework and defect rates caused by tolerance issues, and lowers production costs.
[0012] This handle-fitting structure allows the C-pillar trim panel and the right rear side trim panel to better cooperate in bearing force during vehicle operation, reducing relative displacement and loosening caused by external forces such as vibration and bumps. This enhances the stability and durability of the entire interior structure, reduces the possibility of abnormal noises caused by loose interior components, and improves the comfort of driving and riding.
[0013] This new handle fit structure, by achieving a tight fit, eliminates any noticeable gaps and unevenness that may occur between the C-pillar trim panel and the right rear side panel, giving the car interior a more refined and upscale seamless look, and significantly improving the overall aesthetics and quality of the interior.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a handle assembly structure, including a C-pillar trim panel 1, a right rear side trim panel 2, and an auxiliary handle 3. The surface of the C-pillar trim panel 1 is provided with a first groove 4, the surface of the right rear side trim panel 2 is provided with a second groove 5, one end of the auxiliary handle 3 is provided with a protrusion 6 and is located inside the first groove 4, and the other end of the auxiliary handle 3 is provided with a protrusion 7 and is located inside the second groove 5.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the center of the first groove 4 on the surface of the C-pillar trim panel 1 and the second groove 5 on the surface of the right rear side trim panel 2 are provided with threaded holes (shown in the figure) to facilitate installation with automotive equipment by bolts.
[0024] A mating plate 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the C-pillar trim panel 1 along the first direction. The other end of the mating plate 8 is inserted into the interior of one end of the right rear trim panel 2. The inner wall of the right rear trim panel 2 near the mating plate 8 is provided with a baffle (not shown in the figure) to limit its movement. When the mating plate 8 is inserted into one end of the right rear trim panel 2, it can be inserted to a specified depth for easy limiting. The auxiliary handle 3 is arc-shaped near the first protrusion 6, and the auxiliary handle 3 is inclined and fits against the surface of the right rear trim panel 2.
[0025] The shape of the first protrusion 6 matches the shape of the first groove 4, and its depth matches the height of the first groove 4, so that the auxiliary handle 3 can be firmly locked inside the first groove 4. The shape of the second protrusion 7 matches the shape of the second groove 5.
[0026] The auxiliary handle 3 is a one-piece molded structure. Its material has high strength and toughness to ensure that it maintains the tension on the C-pillar trim 1 and the right rear side trim 2 during long-term use. The C-pillar trim 1 and the first groove 4 are integrally injection molded, and the right rear side trim 2 and the second groove 5 are integrally injection molded to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure.
[0027] In order to maintain the tight connection between protrusion 6 and protrusion 7 and the first groove 4 and the second groove 5, an elastic buffer layer can be provided on the inner wall of protrusion 6 and protrusion 7 to prevent wear on the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 during the connection process and to enhance the tightness of the connection.
[0028] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0029] In use, first install the C-pillar trim 1 and the right rear side trim 2 in the predetermined positions. Then, align one end of the auxiliary handle 3 with the first groove 4 on the C-pillar trim 1 via the protrusion 6 and gently press it to engage. Next, align the other end of the auxiliary handle 3 with the second groove 7 on the right rear side trim 2 and engage it in the same way. Throughout the installation process, due to the precise structural fit between the auxiliary handle 3 and the C-pillar trim 1 and the right rear side trim 2, it is possible to ensure that the C-pillar trim 1 and the right rear side trim 2 fit tightly together with tolerances controlled within a very small range, thereby achieving the goal of improving the aesthetics and quality of the car interior.
[0030] 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.
