Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a decorative component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are increasingly higher requirements for the interior decoration of vehicle engine compartments. Therefore, engine compartment trim panels are usually installed in the engine compartment. The engine compartment trim panels can cover the entire engine compartment, so that when the hood is opened, there is a complete styling surface, which is aesthetically pleasing.

[0003] For vehicles requiring fluid refills (such as windshield washer fluid), the refill hose needs to be exposed for easy refilling. In this case, the engine compartment trim panel typically has a through-hole for the hose to pass through. However, the engine compartment trim panel and the refill hose are two independent structures with no installation connection. Therefore, to facilitate assembly, the through-hole in the engine compartment trim panel is usually made relatively large. This can easily create a large gap between the trim panel and the hose, exposing components underneath and affecting the aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0036] Currently, vehicle engine compartment trim panels are typically installed for decorative purposes to cover the components inside the engine compartment.

[0037] For vehicles equipped with fluid refill systems (such as windshield washer fluid), the refill hose needs to be exposed for easy refilling. In this case, the engine compartment trim panel typically has a through-hole to allow the hose to pass through. To facilitate installation, the diameter of this through-hole is usually set relatively large, resulting in a larger gap between the trim panel and the hose. This exposes engine compartment components through the gap, affecting aesthetics. Furthermore, manufacturing and installation errors make the size of this gap unpredictable, further compromising aesthetics.

[0038] Based on the above problems, this application provides a decorative component to improve the large gap between the cabin trim panel and the filling pipe, thereby enhancing the aesthetics.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the decorative assembly includes a filling tube 1 and a decorative panel 2. The filling tube 1 is used for filling liquid. The decorative panel 2 includes a flexible panel 21 with a recessed hole 212 through which the filling tube 1 passes. The diameter of the recessed hole 212 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the filling tube 1.

[0040] Understandably, by providing a flexible plate 21, which includes a clearance hole 212 for the filling tube 1 to pass through, and the diameter of the clearance hole 212 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the filling tube 1, when the decorative plate 2 and the filling tube 1 are installed, the flexible plate 21 can deform to abut against the outer wall of the filling tube 1, thereby reducing or even eliminating the gap between the decorative plate 2 and the filling tube 1. This effectively prevents the components under the decorative plate 2 from being exposed and improves the aesthetics.

[0041] Furthermore, the deformable nature of the soft plate 21 ensures that the gap between the filling pipe 1 and the decorative plate 2 is more uniform in the circumferential direction of the filling pipe 1, further improving the aesthetics.

[0042] In addition, the soft plate 21 allows for flexible contact between the decorative plate 2 and the filling pipe 1, which can prevent hard contact between the decorative plate 2 and the filling pipe 1 when the decorative plate 2 becomes loose, and can also reduce abnormal noise.

[0043] For example, by using the decorative panel 2, the gap between the decorative panel 2 and the filling pipe 1 can be reduced to less than or equal to 0.5 mm.

[0044] For example, the aforementioned filler pipe 1 is specifically used for adding windshield washer fluid, and the decorative panel 2 is an engine compartment decorative panel. The use of this soft panel 21 can reduce or even eliminate the gap between the filler pipe 1 and the decorative panel 2, thereby preventing exposed components in the engine compartment and improving aesthetics. Of course, the aforementioned filler pipe 1 and decorative panel 2 can also be used in other locations on the vehicle, such as for adding antifreeze, or in other equipment outside the vehicle.

[0045] The aforementioned filling pipe 1 is fixed to the mounting bracket 4 by bolts 5. The mounting bracket 4 can be a vehicle body bracket or a front frame, and a nut 6 that mates with the bolts 5 is fixed on the mounting bracket 4. The decorative panel 2 is installed on the vehicle's fenders, ventilation covers, and other structures.

[0046] In some embodiments, the material of the soft plate 21 can be selected according to actual needs, such as TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate), TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), rubber, or other flexible materials.

[0047] The soft plate 21 can be selected as injection molded.

[0048] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The filling pipe 1 is provided with a soft filling cap 3 that covers its filling port 1a.

[0049] Understandably, by providing a soft filling cap 3, the soft filling cap 3 can deform and avoid the soft plate 21 when assembling the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2. At this time, the soft plate 21 deforms, and the soft filling cap 3 also deforms, so that the soft filling cap 3 can pass smoothly through the clearance hole 212, which facilitates the assembly of the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2.

[0050] The material of the soft filling cap 3 can be selected according to actual needs, such as TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate), TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), rubber, or other flexible materials.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned soft plate 21 includes a soft body 211, a clearance hole 212, and a transition portion 213 located between the clearance hole 212 and the soft body 211. The transition portion 213 is raised relative to the soft body 211 towards the filling port of the filling pipe 1.

[0052] Understandably, the transition portion 213 is curved upward relative to the soft body 211. Thus, when assembling the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2, during the insertion of the decorative plate 2, the filling tube 1 can press against the transition portion 213 to deform the soft plate 21 and avoid the filling tube 1, thereby facilitating the assembly of the decorative plate 2 and the filling tube 1.

[0053] It should be noted that the upward angle of the transition section 213 relative to the soft body 211 can be set according to actual needs, such as the elastic coefficient of the soft body 211, the precision requirements of the gap between the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2, etc., and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The aforementioned filling tube 1 is provided with an annular boss 11 that the soft plate 21 passes over when it is inserted, and the annular boss 11 has a preset height L in the radial direction of the filling tube 1.

[0055] Understandably, by providing an annular boss 11 on the filling tube 1, during assembly, the soft plate 21 passes over the annular boss 11 and is located below the annular boss 11. In this way, the annular boss 11 can not only limit the soft plate 21, but also block the contact area between the soft plate 21 and the filling tube 1. Thus, when viewed from above, it can block the user's line of sight within a certain angle range, thereby further improving the aesthetics.

[0056] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 The decorative panel 2 is arranged to form a groove 2a, and the soft panel 21 forms the base plate of the groove 2a.

[0057] Among them, L 设 ≥(l*H) / h, where H is the distance from the bottom of the annular boss 11 to the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling pipe 1 along the axial direction of the filling pipe 1; h is the distance from the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling pipe 1 to the edge of the groove 2a along the axial direction of the filling pipe 1; and l is the distance from the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling pipe 1 to the wall of the groove 2a along the radial direction of the filling pipe 1.

[0058] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 When the installation of a soft filling cap on the filling pipe 1 is not considered, or the diameter of the soft filling cap is only slightly different from the diameter of the filling pipe 1, viewed from vertically downwards and gradually tilted ( Figure 4 As indicated by the middle arrow, when tilted to a certain degree (as shown by line of sight N1 in the figure), the area where the soft plate 21 contacts the filling tube 1 can still be seen. When tilted further, the view is blocked by the decorative plate 2. In this case, if the annular boss 11 is to completely block the area where the soft plate 21 contacts the filling tube 1, the aforementioned preset height L is required. 设 ≥L.

[0059] Where tanα=H / L=h / l, then L=(l*H) / h.

[0060] It should be noted that, in this case, the edges of the groove opening of the groove 2a are located on the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the filling tube 1, or the edges of the groove opening of the groove 2a are approximately located on the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the filling tube 1. When the edge of the groove opening of the groove 2a differs significantly from the edge of the filling tube 1 along the axial direction, the aforementioned h is the minimum distance from the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling tube 1 to the edge of the groove opening of the groove 2a along the axial direction of the filling tube 1.

[0061] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 The filling pipe 1 is provided with a soft filling cap 3 that covers its filling port 1a.

[0062] Wherein, H3>(L1*H2) / (L2-L1), H3 is the distance from the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling pipe 1 to the soft filling cap 3 in the axial direction of the filling pipe 1; L1 is the distance from the edge of the soft filling cap 3 to the filling pipe 1 in the radial direction of the filling pipe 1; L2 is the distance from the part of the soft plate 21 that contacts the filling pipe 1 to the groove wall of the groove 2a in the radial direction of the filling pipe 1; H2 is the distance from the top of the soft filling cap 3 to the edge of the groove 2a in the axial direction of the filling pipe 1.

[0063] Specifically, when a soft filling cap 33 is provided, the soft filling cap 3 and the presence of the groove 2a will obstruct the view within a certain visual range. (Refer to...) Figure 5 When viewed from line N1, the soft filling cap 3 does not obstruct the view. This means that when the distance from the point where the soft plate 21 contacts the filling tube 1 to the soft filling cap 3 is less than H4, there is no need to provide an annular boss. In this case, due to the effect of the soft filling cap 3 and the groove 2a, the point where the soft plate 21 contacts the filling tube 1 is not visible from any angle. However, when the distance from the point where the soft plate 21 contacts the filling tube 1 to the soft filling cap 3 is greater than or equal to H4, for example... Figure 5 To block the line of sight from the center N2, a ring-shaped boss 11 needs to be installed. The preset height L of the ring-shaped boss 11 is as follows. 设 ≥(l*H) / h.

[0064] Where tanβ=H4 / L1=(H4+H2) / L2, we can get H4=(L1*H2) / (L2-L1).

[0065] It should be noted that when the soft filling cap 3 is a non-circular structure, L1 is the maximum distance from the edge of the soft filling cap 3 to the filling tube 1. In addition, when the edges of the groove 2a are not on the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the filling tube 1, H2 is the maximum distance from the top of the soft filling cap 3 to the edge of the groove 2a along the axial direction of the filling tube 1.

[0066] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diameter of the aforementioned clearance hole 212 is smaller than the outer diameter of the filling tube 1. This increases the deformation of the soft plate 21 when assembling the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2, allowing the soft plate 21 to fit tightly against the outer wall of the filling tube 1 and preventing gaps between the filling tube 1 and the decorative plate 2.

[0067] It should be noted that the diameter of the aforementioned clearance hole 212 is equal to X times the outer diameter of the filling pipe 1, where X is a positive number, and the specific value of X can be reasonably selected according to actual needs, such as X being 0.9-0.95. X should not be set too small; if X is too small, the soft plate 21 will require significant deformation, increasing the difficulty of assembly.

[0068] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The decorative panel 2 also includes a rigid panel 22 integrally formed or connected to the flexible panel 21, with the rigid panel 22 surrounding the flexible panel 21.

[0069] Understandably, by setting a rigid plate 22 around the soft plate 21, the decorative plate 2 can be assembled and matched with the filling pipe 1 through the soft plate 21. Moreover, the rigid plate 22 can give the decorative plate 2 sufficient structural strength, so that the decorative plate 2 can maintain a complete shape after installation, and avoid the overall deformation of the decorative plate 2 from affecting its aesthetics.

[0070] For example, the rigid plate 22 and the flexible plate 21 are integrally molded by two-color injection molding. This two-color injection molding improves the overall integrity of the decorative panel 2, increasing processing efficiency and reducing processing costs compared to component assembly or insert-type secondary injection molding. Of course, the flexible plate 21 and the rigid plate 22 can also be separately installed and connected as a whole by bonding, screwing, or other methods.

[0071] The rigid sheet 22 can be made of PP-TD20, which is an inorganic mineral-filled modified material based on PP (Polypropylene) plastic raw material with 20% talc added. Alternatively, it can be made of PP+EPBM-TD20, a modified material mainly composed of PP (Polypropylene), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and 20% talc.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A groove 2a is formed between the hard plate 22 and the soft plate 21, and the end of the filling pipe 1 with the filling port 1a is located in the groove 2a.

[0073] Understandably, by setting the groove 2a, the filling tube 1 can be partially hidden, which is more aesthetically pleasing than the filling tube 1 extending beyond the decorative panel 2.

[0074] Specifically, when the rigid plate 22 and the flexible plate 21 are integrally molded by two-color injection molding, the aforementioned groove 2a is formed during the injection molding of the decorative plate 2. When the rigid plate 22 and the flexible plate 21 are separate parts, the rigid plate 22 can have a groove formed during injection molding. In this case, the groove does not have a bottom plate. Subsequently, the flexible plate 21 is connected to the rigid plate 22, and the flexible plate 21 serves as the bottom plate of the groove 2a, thus forming the groove 2a.

[0075] This embodiment also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned decorative components. This vehicle possesses the technical effects of the decorative components described in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
