When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "first direction" and "second direction" refer to two intersecting directions. Directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of a specific structure. Terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one element from another and do not imply order or importance. Furthermore, "multiple" in this application refers to two or more, including two.

[0038] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" 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 direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this disclosure provides a door interior trim panel, which includes a trim panel body 1 and an ambient light 2. The inner side of the trim panel body 1 forms a receiving groove 10. The ambient light 2 is disposed within the receiving groove 10, and the light-emitting surface 20 of the ambient light 2 is exposed through the slot 101 of the receiving groove 10. The inner wall of the receiving groove 10 forms at least one slot 102. The ambient light 2 is provided with at least one locking block 21, which engages with the slot 102 to restrict the ambient light 2 from rotating within the receiving groove 10; and / or, the inner wall of the receiving groove 10 provides at least one locking block 21, and the ambient light 2 forms at least one slot 102, with the locking block 21 engaging with the slot 102 to restrict the ambient light 2 from rotating within the receiving groove 10.

[0040] It should be noted that the above technical solutions protect three different technical solutions: First, the card slot 102 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, and the card block 21 is disposed on the ambient light 2; Second, the card block 21 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, and the card slot 102 is formed on the ambient light 2; Third, part of the card slot 102 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, part of the card block 21 is disposed on the ambient light 2, and another part of the card slot 102 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, and another part of the card block 21 is disposed on the ambient light 2.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​design of the locking block 21 and the slot 102 effectively and stably positions the ambient light 2 within the receiving slot 10. This effectively prevents the ambient light 2 from falling out of the receiving slot 10 and restricts its rotation within the slot 10, thereby reducing light pattern fluctuations that could affect the lighting effect and improving lighting quality. Furthermore, when the locking block 21 is engaged within the slot 102, the user cannot visually see the engagement structure from the exterior surface, achieving the purpose of concealing the engagement and improving the aesthetics.

[0042] In one implementation, reference is made to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the ambient light 2 includes a first outer side 201 and a second outer side 202 disposed opposite to each other in a first direction. The light-emitting surface 20 is connected between the first outer side 201 and the second outer side 202. At least one of the first outer side 201 and the second outer side 202 is provided with at least one locking block 21 protruding in a first direction.

[0043] The receiving groove 10 includes a first inner side surface 103 and a second inner side surface 104 that are opposite to each other in a first direction and spaced apart, and at least one of the first inner side surface 103 and the second inner side surface 104 is formed with at least one slot 102.

[0044] In this embodiment, firstly, the first outer surface 201 and the second outer surface 202 of the ambient light 2 are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, while the light-emitting surface 20 is located between them. This structure ensures accurate positioning of the ambient light 2, especially when the locking block 21 is inserted into the slot 102, precise alignment can be achieved, thereby ensuring the correct position and angle of the ambient light 2 after installation. Secondly, due to the design of the locking block 21 and the slot 102, the ambient light 2 can be quickly and easily installed into the receiving slot 10 of the interior panel body 1. Even when operating in a limited space, installation can be easily completed, reducing assembly time and difficulty. In addition, designing the locking block 21 to protrude from the outer surface while keeping the position of the light-emitting surface 20 unchanged allows for a firm fixation without increasing the overall thickness, which helps save space and maintain the overall appearance consistency of the door interior panel.

[0045] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 are spaced apart in the second direction; wherein, the first direction and the second direction are intersecting.

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 at intervals in the second direction, the stability of the card connection can be ensured while also ensuring the light emission effect. This avoids the design of the card block 21 from blocking the light emitted by the ambient light 2, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of uneven light effect and ensuring the uniformity of light effect.

[0047] Optionally, the distance between the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 in the second direction is between 1 mm and 1.5 mm. For example, the distance between the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 in the second direction is 1 mm; or, the distance between the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 in the second direction is 1.2 mm; or, the distance between the card block 21 and the light-emitting surface 20 in the second direction is 1.5 mm, but this disclosure does not impose a specific limitation on the distance.

[0048] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the card block 21 has a guide slope 210, which is used to guide the card block 21 into the card slot 102, thereby facilitating the installation of the card block 21 and the card slot 102 and improving the ease of assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the receiving slot 10 is constructed as a long light trough, and the ambient light 2 is constructed as a long light strip; the cross-sectional structure of the long light strip is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the long light trough is concave.

[0050] In this embodiment, firstly, the concave elongated light trough design helps control and guide the distribution of light. It allows the light to be projected more concentratedly in the desired direction while reducing unnecessary scattering and improving illumination efficiency. Secondly, the rectangular cross-section of the light strip matches the concave light trough, ensuring the strip is securely installed within the trough, simplifying the installation process and guaranteeing consistency and aesthetics. Furthermore, compared to light strips with a circular cross-section (where the incident angle equals the exit angle, resulting in a limited illumination range), the rectangular cross-section of the light strip, due to refraction, has a smaller incident angle than the exit angle, resulting in a wider illumination range and better lighting effects. Moreover, compared to light strips with a circular cross-section, the rectangular cross-section of the light strip offers greater structural stability and is less prone to deformation, ensuring the stability of the light pattern.

[0051] In other implementations, refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the interior door panel also includes multiple support ribs 3, which are protrudingly arranged in the long light groove and used to abut against the long light strip. The multiple support ribs 3 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the long light groove.

[0052] In this embodiment, firstly, the presence of the support ribs 3 enhances the rigidity of the receiving groove 10 of the interior panel body 1, especially in better dispersing stress under external pressure, preventing deformation or damage. Secondly, the support ribs 3 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the long light strip, serving as a positioning reference to guide the long light strip to be correctly installed in the designated position, improving the accuracy of the assembly process and reducing the error rate. Furthermore, the protruding design of the support ribs 3 increases the contact points between the long light strip and the long light strip groove. These contact points provide additional mechanical support, which helps ensure that the long light strip remains in a stable position after installation, preventing it from easily moving or falling off, especially when encountering vibrations or impacts during vehicle operation.

[0053] In one implementation, reference is made to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the receiving groove 10 includes a first inner side surface 103, a second inner side surface 104, and an inner bottom surface 105; the first inner side surface 103 and the second inner side surface 104 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart in a first direction, and the inner bottom surface 105 connects the first inner side surface 103 and the second inner side surface 104. The supporting rib 3 includes a first rib segment 31, a second rib segment 32, and a third rib segment 33; the first rib segment 31 is protruding from the first inner side surface 103, the second rib segment 32 is protruding from the inner bottom surface 105, and the third rib segment 33 is protruding from the second inner side surface 104.

[0054] In this embodiment, firstly, the support rib 3 provides more stable multi-point support for the long light strip by setting rib segments on three different surfaces (i.e., the first rib segment 31 is located on the first inner surface 103, the second rib segment 32 is located on the inner bottom surface 105, and the third rib segment 33 is located on the second inner surface 104). This not only helps to keep the light strip in a fixed position. Secondly, setting the support rib 3 on three surfaces increases the overall rigidity, especially when subjected to lateral forces or impacts, effectively preventing deformation or damage. In addition, this design can also resist the thermal expansion and contraction effect caused by temperature changes, maintaining the long-term stability of the structure. Furthermore, the design of the support rib 3 can be hidden inside the receiving groove 10, without affecting the overall appearance, while ensuring the consistency and aesthetics of the vehicle interior decoration.

[0055] Optionally, the height of the protrusion of the locking block 21 in the first direction is between 0.8 mm and 1.2 mm. For example, the height of the protrusion of the locking block 21 in the first direction is 0.8 mm; or, the height of the protrusion of the locking block 21 in the first direction is 1 mm; or, the height of the protrusion of the locking block 21 in the first direction is 1.2 mm.

[0056] Optionally, the light-emitting surface 20 may be textured (not shown) to ensure that the light-emitting angle of the light-emitting surface 20 is not less than 60 degrees. By providing a texture, the range and uniformity of illumination can be effectively increased.

[0057] This disclosure also provides a vehicle door that includes the aforementioned door interior panel.

[0058] This disclosure also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned door.

[0059] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of this disclosure. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the following claims.
