[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0025] A snap-fit ​​structure for a bright strip on a car grille includes a grille frame 1, a support plate 2 fixedly installed inside the grille frame 1, a car logo installed at the center of the support plate 2, grille plates 8 at both the upper and lower ends of the support plate 2, the grille plates 8 being detachably connected to the grille frame 1, a bright strip 9 snapped onto the front end face of the grille plate 8, and a baffle 4 on the front end face of the grille frame 1 for positioning the grille plate 8.

[0026] Specifically, by installing detachable grille plates 8 inside the grille frame 1, when a vehicle collision damages the grille, only the damaged grille plate 8 needs to be replaced, instead of the entire grille assembly, greatly reducing repair costs and improving parts utilization. Simultaneously, during the grille frame 1 mold-making stage, a suitable slot 13 size is designed based on the size of the grille plate 8 to be used, allowing the grille plate 8 to fit perfectly into the corresponding slot 13, enabling mass production according to this standard. This not only increases production efficiency but also allows for direct installation of grille plates 8 of the same size during future repairs or replacements, eliminating the need to customize the entire grille structure. The bright strip 9 adopts a U-shaped structure and is secured to the slot 16 on the grille plate 8 via an anchor-type latch 15, making installation simple and quick, effectively improving assembly efficiency. The baffle 4, located at the front end of the grille frame 1, limits and positions the grille plate 8, ensuring its stability during use and preventing displacement or detachment due to vibration or external forces, thereby enhancing the overall structural safety and reliability.

[0027] The upper and lower ends of the baffle 4 are provided with sliders 6. The front end of the slider 6 is provided with a mounting block 5, and the mounting block 5 is fixedly connected to the baffle 4. The mounting block 5 is fixedly connected to the grid frame 1 by screws 7. The baffle 4 is installed inside the grid frame 1 through the baffle groove 10. The upper and lower ends of the baffle groove 10 are provided with sliding grooves 11 that are adapted to the slider 6. The front end of the sliding groove 11 is provided with a mounting groove 12 that is adapted to the mounting block 5.

[0028] Specifically, during the installation process, the baffle 4 slides into the baffle groove 10 along the slide groove 11 via the slider 6 to achieve quick positioning and guided assembly. The mounting block 5 is fixedly connected to the grid frame 1 by the screw 7, so that the baffle 4 is firmly fixed on the grid frame 1. The mounting groove 12 is used to accommodate the mounting block 5 to ensure its accurate position and prevent displacement.

[0029] Both ends of the grating plate 8 are connected to the grating frame 1 by slots 13 provided on the grating frame 1. The slots 13 are located at the rear end of the baffle groove 10. A limiting block 14 is fixedly provided inside the slots 13. A limiting groove 17 is provided inside the grating plate 8. The limiting groove 17 is adapted to the limiting block 14.

[0030] Specifically, when the grating plate 8 is inserted into place, the limiting block 14 fits precisely into the limiting groove 17, forming a mechanical engagement to prevent the grating plate 8 from moving back and forth or falling off. The grating plate 8 is installed by inserting and engaging with the limiting block 14, which facilitates quick assembly and replacement; if maintenance or replacement is required, simply apply a certain external force to disengage the limiting block 14 from the limiting groove 17 to remove the grating plate 8.

[0031] The bright strip 9 is a U-shaped bright strip 9, and its inner wall is provided with an anchor-shaped latch 15. The latch 15 is connected to the grating plate 8 through the latch groove 16.

[0032] Specifically, the bright strip 9 has a U-shaped design, which makes it easy to wrap around the front end of the grating plate 8. During installation, simply push the bright strip 9 in the specified direction, and the latch 15 will automatically snap into the slot 16 for quick fixation. During disassembly, simply apply a certain external force to pull it out in the opposite direction to separate it. The operation is simple. In this embodiment, the bright strip 9 can be removed and replaced separately from the grating plate 8, and the grating plate 8 with the bright strip 9 can also be removed as a whole and replaced with a new one.

[0033] Two fixing plates 3 are installed on the back of the grid frame 1, and a fixing through groove is provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 3.

[0034] Specifically, during installation, the entire grille frame 1 is fixed to the front structure of the vehicle by bolts or other fasteners passing through the slot.

[0035] Working principle: During use, a detachable grating plate 8 is provided inside the grating frame 1. The grating plate 8 is inserted into the grating frame 1 via a slot 13 and engaged with the limiting groove 17 by a limiting block 14, ensuring that the grating plate 8 will not move back and forth or fall off after installation. In this way, the grating plate 8 can be quickly installed and replaced. If the grating plate 8 is damaged, it can be easily pulled out and replaced by applying external force to disengage the limiting block 14 from the limiting groove 17, without replacing the entire grating assembly. The front end of the grating plate 8 is fixed to the bright strip 9 via a snap-fit ​​structure. The bright strip 9 adopts a U-shaped structure and is engaged with the slot 16 via an anchor-type latch 15. During installation, the bright strip 9 can be quickly inserted into the front end of the grille plate 8. The latch 15 and the slot 16 cooperate to ensure that the bright strip 9 is secure and does not loosen. The front end of the grille frame 1 is provided with a baffle 4, which is positioned by the slider 6 and the mounting block 5 of the baffle 4 to ensure that the grille plate 8 remains stable during use and will not shift or fall off due to external force or vibration. The baffle 4 moves in the slide groove 11 by the slider 6, which can quickly position and guide the assembly during installation. The mounting block 5 is firmly fixed to the baffle 4 on the grille frame 1 by screws 7. The baffle groove 10 and the cooperation between the slider 6 and the slide groove 11 enable the baffle 4 to be accurately positioned and prevent displacement or deviation during installation. Two fixing plates 3 are installed on the back of the grille frame 1. Through the opening of the fixing through groove, the entire grille frame 1 is firmly fixed to the front structure of the vehicle using bolts and other fasteners.
