Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted small tables, specifically relating to a snap-fit structure between the shell and the internal frame of a vehicle-mounted table. Background Technology
[0002] Car tray tables are practical automotive accessories, typically designed to be foldable so they can be stored away when not in use, saving interior space. A car tray table consists of a shell and an internal frame. The shell is divided into an inner shell and an outer shell; generally, the side closer to the seat back is the inner shell, and the side facing the passenger is the outer shell. The inner shell is connected to the internal frame with fasteners and then snaps onto the edge of the outer shell. However, because the middle section between the shell and the internal frame lacks a proper tensioning structure, a gap exists between them. This makes the tray table prone to internal collisions and rattling noises under bumpy conditions or when pressed, affecting the driving and passenger experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a snap-fit structure between the shell and the internal frame of a vehicle table. This snap-fit structure effectively tightens the connection between the shell and the middle of the internal frame after the table is assembled, reducing noise caused by collisions and enhancing the driving and passenger experience and perceived quality.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a snap-fit structure between the shell and the internal frame of a vehicle table, including a shell and an internal frame. The shell has a snap-fit claw at the center of one side relative to the internal frame, and the internal frame has sheet metal at the position relative to the snap-fit claw. The center of the shell is connected to the center of the internal frame through the snap-fit between the snap-fit claw and the sheet metal.
[0005] As a further optimization, the housing includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell has a plurality of intersecting first reinforcing ribs in the middle of the side opposite to the inner shell. Each first reinforcing rib has a plurality of first insertion interfaces. The inner shell has a plurality of intersecting second reinforcing ribs in the middle of the side opposite to the outer shell. The second reinforcing ribs are staggered with the first reinforcing ribs and have a plurality of second insertion interfaces. The middle of the outer shell is connected to the middle of the inner shell through the insertion of the first and second reinforcing ribs.
[0006] Advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model
[0007] 1. This utility model features a locking claw on the middle of one side of the outer shell relative to the inner frame. This claw engages with the sheet metal on the inner frame, effectively tightening the connection between the outer shell and the middle of the inner frame. Therefore, during bumpy driving conditions or when pressed, it reduces abnormal noises caused by internal collisions, thereby improving the driving and passenger experience.
[0008] 2. This utility model has a plurality of intersecting first reinforcing ribs in the middle of the side of the outer shell relative to the inner shell. Each first reinforcing rib has a plurality of first insertion interfaces. At the same time, a plurality of intersecting second reinforcing ribs are provided in the middle of the side of the inner shell relative to the outer shell. The second reinforcing ribs are staggered with the first reinforcing ribs and have a plurality of second insertion interfaces. The middle of the outer shell is connected to the middle of the inner shell through the insertion of the first and second reinforcing ribs. This can restrict the inner shell and the outer shell in the four directions of up, down, left, and right, and prevent the outer shell from moving relative to the inner shell and the internal frame.
[0009] 3. This utility model has a reasonable design, simple and compact structure, low production cost, and is easy and quick to install. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than that illustrated or described herein.
[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front", "rear", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 12. Since the inner shell 12 and the internal frame 2 are first assembled using fasteners 3, and then the inner shell 12 connected to the internal frame 2 is snapped into the outer shell 11, this embodiment places the latch 111 in the middle of the outer shell 11. This way, the middle of the assembled housing 1 can be snapped into the middle of the internal frame 2. Similarly, the outer shell 11 can be connected to the internal frame 2 using fasteners 3, and then the outer shell 11 connected to the internal frame 2 can be snapped into the inner shell 12. Due to the change in connection relationship and assembly sequence, the latch 111 will be placed in the middle of the inner shell 12, thus creating a snap-fit relationship between the middle of the assembled housing 1 and the middle of the internal frame 2. Next, this embodiment will be described using the example of the latch 111 being placed in the middle of the outer shell 11.
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a snap-fit structure between the shell and the internal frame of a vehicle table includes a shell 1, which includes an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 12. The inner shell 12 is connected to the inner frame 2 on one side opposite the outer shell 11 by fasteners 3. Two sheet metal pieces 21 are longitudinally connected to the middle of the inner frame 2. The sheet metal pieces 21 serve to support the inner frame 2 and connect to the middle of the shell 1. The outer shell 11 is provided with two claws 111 at the positions of the two sheet metal pieces 21 on the inner frame 2. The middle of the outer shell 11 is connected to the middle of the inner frame 2 through the snap-fit between the claws 111 and the sheet metal pieces 21, thereby effectively tightening the connection between the middle of the shell 1 and the inner frame 2 and avoiding the existence of a gap between the middle of the shell 1 and the inner frame 2. The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are provided with multiple snap-fit holes on their four edges. The four edges of the outer shell 11 are snap-fitted to the four edges of the inner shell 12 through the cooperation of the claws and the snap-fit holes.
[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the outer shell 11 has multiple intersecting first reinforcing ribs 112 in the middle of the side opposite to the inner shell 12. The first reinforcing ribs 112 have multiple first insertion interfaces 113. The inner shell 12 has multiple intersecting second reinforcing ribs 121 in the middle of the side opposite to the outer shell 11. The second reinforcing ribs 121 are offset from the first reinforcing ribs 112. The second reinforcing ribs 121 have multiple second insertion interfaces. The middle of the outer shell 11 is connected to the middle of the inner shell 12 through the insertion of the first reinforcing ribs 112 and the second reinforcing ribs 121. This can restrict the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 in the four directions of up, down, left, and right, preventing the outer shell 11 from moving relative to the inner shell 12 and the internal frame 2.
[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
