[0032] In related technologies, when installing side bright strips on frameless door models, the side bright strips are fixed by rivet screws or by adding projection welded nut seats to the side sheet metal. However, during the installation process, the excessively long cantilever of the side bright strip makes it inconvenient for workers to operate, and the installation accuracy of the side bright strip cannot meet the requirements.

[0033] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a side panel lighting strip mounting assembly and a vehicle.

[0034] The side panel lighting strip mounting assembly of this application embodiment will be described below.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the side panel lighting strip mounting assembly provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a side panel lighting strip mounting assembly provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a side panel lighting strip mounting assembly provided in some embodiments of this application. The side panel lighting strip mounting assembly 100 may include: a side panel sheet metal 1, a side panel lighting strip 2, a nut seat 3, and fastening screws 4.

[0036] The side panel sheet 1 has multiple mounting holes 11, which are spaced apart in the extending direction of the side panel sheet 1. "Multiple" means that the number of mounting holes 11 can be two or more.

[0037] The side panel bright strip 2 is located on one side of the side panel 1. Specifically, the side panel bright strip 2 can be located on the side of the side panel 1 facing outwards from the vehicle.

[0038] The nut seat 3 is connected to the side panel sheet 1, and a portion of the nut seat 3 passes through the mounting hole 11. Specifically, a portion of the nut seat 3 is located at the mounting hole 11 and connected to the side panel sheet 1, so that the nut seat 3 is fixed to the side panel sheet 1. The connection between the nut seat 3 and the side panel sheet 1 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, and this application does not limit this.

[0039] The outer peripheral wall of the nut seat 3 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 31. Specifically, the portion of the nut seat 3 exposed in the mounting hole 11 is provided with the first snap-fit ​​portion 31.

[0040] The nut seat 3 can be engaged with the side bright strip 2 through the first snap-fit ​​part 31. The first snap-fit ​​part 31 can pre-fix the side bright strip 2 when installing it, and can also limit the position of the side bright strip 2. This can improve the convenience and accuracy of the operator's assembly, and thus help improve the assembly efficiency and installation accuracy of the side bright strip 2.

[0041] The fastening screw 4 is threaded onto the nut seat 3 and is used to abut against the side panel strip 2. Specifically, the nut seat 3 has a screw hole that mates with the fastening screw 4. The fastening screw 4 passes through the screw hole and abuts against the side panel strip 2 to abut against the nut seat 3, thereby fixing the side panel strip 2 onto the side panel sheet metal 1. This fixing method is simple and helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the side panel strip 2.

[0042] Therefore, when it is necessary to fix the side bright strip 2, firstly, part of the nut seat 3 is inserted through the mounting hole 11 on the side sheet metal 1, and then the side bright strip 2 is engaged with the first snap-fit ​​part 31 on the nut seat 3 to achieve pre-fixation of the side bright strip 2. Finally, the side bright strip 2 is fixed by the engagement between the fastening screw 4 and the nut seat 3, so that the side bright strip 2 is fixed on the side sheet metal 1, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the side bright strip 2.

[0043] According to the side panel bright strip mounting assembly 100 of this application embodiment, by providing a first snap-fit ​​portion 31 on the outer peripheral wall of the nut seat 3, the side panel bright strip 2 can be connected to the nut seat 3 through the first snap-fit ​​portion 31. During installation, the side panel bright strip 2 can be pre-fixed to the nut seat 3 through the first snap-fit ​​portion 31, and the side panel bright strip 2 can also be limited. This solves the problem of excessive cantilever length during the installation of the side panel bright strip 2, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of assembly for operators, and further improving the assembly efficiency and installation accuracy of the side panel bright strip 2. Furthermore, the side panel bright strip 2 is fixed by the cooperation of the fastening screw 4 with the nut seat 3, a simple fixing method that helps reduce vehicle manufacturing costs and improves the assembly efficiency of the side panel bright strip 2.

[0044] Please see Figures 2-4 , Figure 4 for Figure 3The enlarged view is shown in the center circle. In some embodiments, the first engaging portion 31 may include a limiting groove 311 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the nut seat 3, and a portion of the side panel bright strip 2 extends into the limiting groove 311. Specifically, when the side panel bright strip 2 engages with the first engaging portion 31, a portion of the side panel bright strip 2 can be engaged into the limiting groove 311, so that the side panel bright strip 2 engages with the limiting groove 311, and the limiting groove 311 can restrict the side panel bright strip 2 from swinging in the length direction of the vehicle.

[0045] Therefore, the side bright strip 2 can be pre-fixed through the limiting groove 311, and the swing of the side bright strip 2 during the installation process can also be reduced, which helps to improve the installation accuracy of the side bright strip 2.

[0046] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the end face of the nut seat 3 has an installation notch 32. The installation notch 32 communicates with the limiting groove 311, and the side panel bright strip 2 extends into the limiting groove 311 through the installation notch 32. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the installation notch 32 onto the plane of the limiting groove 311 is located within the contour of the limiting groove 311. Thus, when installing the side panel bright strip 2, the operator can directly insert a portion of the side panel bright strip 2 into the limiting groove 311 through the installation notch 32, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the side panel bright strip 2.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, a second snap-fit ​​portion 33 may be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the nut seat 3. The second snap-fit ​​portion 33 is spaced apart from the first snap-fit ​​portion 31. The nut seat 3 is snapped into the side panel sheet metal 1 through the second snap-fit ​​portion 33. Thus, a detachable connection between the nut seat 3 and the side panel sheet metal 1 can be achieved through the second snap-fit ​​portion 33, thereby helping to reduce vehicle maintenance costs. At the same time, the second snap-fit ​​portion 33 can pre-fix the installation of the nut seat 3, ensuring that the nut seat 3 can be installed in place during the installation process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the side panel bright strip 2.

[0048] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the second snap-fit ​​portion 33 includes a mounting groove 331 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the nut seat 3, and a portion of the side panel 1 extends into the mounting groove 331. Specifically, when the side panel 1 engages with the second snap-fit ​​portion 33, a portion of the side panel 1 can be snapped into the mounting groove 331, so that the side panel 1 engages with the mounting groove 331, and the mounting groove 331 can provide a limit for the nut seat 3 in the vehicle height direction, thereby preventing the nut seat 3 from falling off.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4In some embodiments, the depth of the limiting groove 311 is greater than the depth of the mounting groove 331. Therefore, the limiting groove 311 and the mounting groove 331 can be distinguished by their depth, preventing the side panel sheet metal 1 from being inserted into the limiting groove 311. This prevents mistaken installation of the nut seat 3 and improves the installation efficiency of the side panel bright strip 2.

[0050] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, a limiting boss 41 is provided on the side of the fastening screw 4 facing the nut seat 3. The limiting boss 41 extends towards the side bright strip 2 and is used to abut against the side bright strip 2. Specifically, the surface of the limiting boss 41 facing the side bright strip 2 contacts the side bright strip 2, sealing the connection between the side bright strip 2 and the nut seat 3. Thus, the limiting boss can prevent water, dust, and other debris from entering the connection between the nut seat 3 and the side bright strip 2, thereby improving the waterproof and airtightness of the side bright strip mounting assembly 100. It also better secures the side bright strip 2, thus improving the fixing effect of the fastening screw 4.

[0051] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the nut seat 3 has a guide slope 34, which is inclined towards the central axis of the nut seat 3 in the direction from the side bright strip 2 to the side sheet metal 1. This facilitates the insertion of the nut seat 3 through the mounting hole 11, thus facilitating the connection between the nut seat 3 and the side sheet metal 1 and improving the assembly efficiency of the side bright strip 2.

[0052] Please continue reading. Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the nut seat 3 is made of plastic. This design allows the nut seat 3 to have a certain degree of elasticity, which facilitates its mating with the mounting hole 11 and also helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0053] The vehicle described in this application embodiment will now be explained.

[0054] The vehicle in this embodiment includes a side panel bright strip mounting assembly 100. This improves the convenience and accuracy of assembly for operators, thereby increasing the assembly efficiency and installation precision of the side panel bright strip 2.

[0055] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0056] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
