Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0036] First, refer to Figure 2 A brief description of a vehicle 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present utility model is provided. The vehicle 1000 includes a trim panel assembly 100 and a sheet metal 200. The sheet metal 200 may include pillar structures such as A-pillar, B-pillar and C-pillar of the vehicle 1000. When assembling the interior of the vehicle 1000, the trim panel assembly 100 is arranged on the corresponding sheet metal 200 structure.
[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 A decorative panel assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the decorative panel assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a first decorative panel 10 and a second decorative panel 20, the second decorative panel 20 and the first decorative panel 10 being in a first direction (e.g., Figure 1The first trim panel 10 is provided with a mounting seat 11, which is located on the overlapping edge of the first trim panel 10. The mounting seat 11 has a mounting part 112 and a first connecting part 111. The second trim panel 20 has a second connecting part 201. The mounting part 112 is adapted to be snapped into the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000. The first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 201 are snapped into each other.
[0039] In this embodiment, the trim panel assembly 100 includes a first trim panel 10 and a second trim panel 20. The first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are arranged in a first direction and overlap each other. For example, when the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are respectively the upper trim panel and the lower trim panel installed on the A-pillar of the vehicle 1000, the first direction can be the vertical direction of the vehicle 1000. The upper trim panel and the lower trim panel are arranged in the vertical direction to cover the A-pillar and overlap each other. When the first trim panel 10 is the upper trim panel, the second trim panel 20 is the lower trim panel. When the first trim panel 10 is the lower trim panel, the second trim panel 20 is the upper trim panel.
[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting base 11 is set on the overlapping edge of the first trim panel 10. The arrangement is reasonable and meets the connection and fixation requirements of the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 at the overlapping position. When the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are assembled and installed on the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000, the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 can be connected and fixed together by the first connecting part 111 on the mounting base 11 and the second connecting part 201 on the second trim panel 20 through the mounting part 112 of the mounting base 11. The second trim panel 20 and the first trim panel 10 are connected and fixed to the sheet metal 200 through the mounting part 112 of the mounting base 11 through the mounting part 112.
[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 112 of the mounting base 11 is snapped into the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000, making it easier to fix and disassemble the mounting base 11 and the sheet metal 200 during installation. This makes it easier and faster to assemble the trim panel assembly 100 onto the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000. The first connecting portion 111 of the mounting base 11 is snapped into the second connecting portion 201 of the second trim panel 20. The structure is simple, allowing the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 to be stably connected together and facilitating the separation of the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20. By snapping into the sheet metal 200 and the second trim panel 20, the mounting base 11 ensures a stable connection between the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 at the overlapping position and provides good fixation to the sheet metal 200.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first trim panel 10 is provided with a mounting base 11. The mounting base 11 has a mounting portion 112 that is snapped into the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000. The mounting base 11 also has a first connecting portion 111 that is snapped into the second connecting portion 201 of the second trim panel 20. This allows the structures on the first trim panel 10 used to connect the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the structures used to connect the first trim panel 10 and the sheet metal 200, to be integrated on the mounting base 11. The structure is more compact and occupies less space, thus making it well-suited for the connection needs of the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the connection needs with the sheet metal 200, when space is limited. This allows the trim panel assembly 100 to better meet the usage needs in more space-limited scenarios, thus expanding its application scenarios.
[0043] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the trim panel assembly 100 is provided with a first trim panel 10 and a second trim panel 20. The first trim panel 10 is provided with a mounting base 11, which has a mounting portion 112 and a first connecting portion 111. The mounting portion 112 is adapted to be snapped into the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000. The first connecting portion 111 is snapped into the second connecting portion 201 of the second trim panel 20. This allows the mounting base 11 to integrate the structure for snapping into the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the structure for snapping into the sheet metal 200. As a result, the overall structure of the structure for snapping into the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the structure for snapping into the sheet metal 200, is more compact and occupies less space. This allows the trim panel assembly 100 to better meet the assembly and use needs under limited space conditions, and broadens the application scenarios of the trim panel assembly 100.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the trim panel assembly 100 may also include a snap fastener 30, which is disposed on the mounting portion 112, and the mounting base 11 is connected to the sheet metal 200 by the snap fastener 30.
[0045] In this embodiment, the decorative panel assembly 100 includes a buckle 30, which is disposed on the mounting part 112. The mounting base 11 is connected to the sheet metal 200 by the buckle 30. The structure is simple, which allows the mounting base 11 to be easily connected and assembled with the sheet metal 200 by the buckle 30. This allows the first decorative panel 10 and the second decorative panel 20 to be stably fixed on the sheet metal 200 in the overlapping area. It also makes the structure of the mounting base 11 relatively simple and facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the mounting base 11.
[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting part 112 may be provided with a mounting groove 1121, and one end of the buckle 30 is held in the mounting groove 1121.
[0047] In this embodiment, the mounting part 112 is provided with a mounting groove 1121, and one end of the buckle 30 is held in the mounting groove 1121. The structure is simple, so that the buckle 30 can be stably and reliably fixed on the mounting part 112, thereby so that the mounting base 11 can be stably connected to the sheet metal 200 through the buckle 30.
[0048] In some examples of this utility model, references Figure 1 As shown, the mounting groove 1121 may have an opening on the side wall of the mounting base 11, and one end of the snap fastener 30 is adapted to snap into the mounting groove 1121 from the opening.
[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 1121 forms an open opening on the side wall of the mounting base 11. One end of the buckle 30 is inserted into the mounting groove 1121 from the open opening. The structure is simple and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the buckle 30 and the mounting base 11.
[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buckle 30 and the mounting base 11 can be an integral piece.
[0051] In this embodiment, the buckle 30 and the mounting base 11 are set as one piece, which can reduce the number of parts and assembly steps, making the assembly of the trim panel assembly 100 more convenient, and making the connection between the mounting base 11 and the sheet metal 200 more stable and reliable.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 111 may be provided with a plug hole 1111, and the second connecting part 201 is provided with a snap-fit member 21, which snaps into the plug hole 1111.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 111 is provided with a plug hole 1111, and the second connecting portion 201 is provided with a snap-fit member 21 that snaps into the plug hole 1111. The structure is simple and can well meet the snap-fit connection requirements of the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20. For example, when the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are overlapped and fixed to the sheet metal 200, the second connecting portion 201 of the second trim panel 20 can be located on the side of the first trim panel 10 facing away from the sheet metal 200. The first connecting portion 111 of the mounting base 11 of the first trim panel 10 can face the second connecting portion 201, and the mounting portion 112 of the mounting base 11 can face the sheet metal 200. This allows the snap-fit member 21 and the mounting base 11 to be hidden between the trim panel assembly 100 and the sheet metal 200, meeting the arrangement requirements of the trim panel assembly 100 in the vehicle 1000. Optionally, the snap-fit member 21 is a snap-fit pin.
[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first connecting part 111 may also be provided with a connecting hole 1112, and the second connecting part 201 may also be provided with a support member 22. The support member 22 is disposed in the connecting hole 1112 and abuts against at least part of the inner wall of the connecting hole 1112. The connecting hole 1112 and the insertion hole 1111 may be the same hole.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 111 is further provided with a connecting hole 1112, and the second connecting portion 201 is provided with a support member 22. Exemplarily, the support member 22 and the snap-fit member 21 can be arranged side by side along the extension direction of the overlapping edge of the second decorative panel 20. The support member 22 is disposed in the connecting hole 1112 and abuts against at least part of the inner wall of the connecting hole 1112. When the first decorative panel 10 and the second decorative panel 20 overlap and connect in the overlapping area, the snap-fit member 21 of the second decorative panel 20 is inserted into the insertion hole 1111 and snaps against the insertion hole 1111, while the support member 22 is inserted into the connecting hole 1112 and snaps against the connecting hole 1111. The support member 22 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole 1112, which can improve the connection stability and reliability between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 201, making the connection between the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 more stable and reliable. For example, when the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are displaced relative to each other in the first direction due to vibration during the driving of the vehicle 1000, the support member 22 can withstand additional pressure or tension, so that the trim panel assembly 100 can maintain a stable connection between the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 during long-term use. Optionally, the support member 22 is a support pin.
[0056] In this embodiment, the connecting hole 1112 and the insertion hole 1111 are set to the same hole, which is simple in structure and convenient for the processing and manufacturing of the mounting base 11.
[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 11 can be included in a second direction (e.g., Figure 2 The first plate and the second plate are arranged opposite each other in the left and right directions shown. The mounting base 11 defines a cavity 1101 between the first plate and the second plate. The first connecting part 111 is formed on the first plate and the mounting part 112 is formed on the second plate. The first connecting part 111 is located on the side of the mounting base 11 facing the second decorative plate 20 in the second direction. The second direction intersects with the first direction and is the thickness direction of the first decorative plate 10.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second direction intersects with the first direction, which is intended to show that the second direction and the first direction can be arranged perpendicularly or they can only intersect and not be arranged perpendicularly.
[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting base 11 includes a first plate and a second plate arranged opposite to each other in a second direction, the second direction being the thickness direction of the first decorative panel 10. The mounting part 112 is formed on the second plate, and the first connecting part 111 is formed on the first plate. The first plate may be provided with a connecting hole 1112 and a plug hole 1111, and the second plate may be provided with a mounting groove 1121. When the first decorative panel 10 and the second decorative panel 20 overlap and connect, the snap-fit member 21 on the second decorative panel 20 can be inserted into the plug hole 1111 of the second plate along the second direction and snap-fit into the plug hole 1111. The support member 22 on the second decorative panel 20 can be inserted into the connecting hole 1112 of the second plate along the second direction.
[0060] The mounting base 11 defines a cavity 1101 located between the first plate and the second plate. Its simple structure allows the first and second plates of the mounting base 11 to be positioned in the second direction to meet the installation and connection requirements with the second decorative panel 20 and the sheet metal 200. It also reduces the weight of the mounting base 11, saves material, and lowers its manufacturing cost. For example, the surface of the second plate can abut against the surface of the sheet metal 200, and the surface of the first plate can also abut against the surface of the second decorative panel 20, thus making the connection between the mounting base 11 and the sheet metal 200 and the second decorative panel 20 more stable.
[0061] In this embodiment, there is a cavity 1101 between the first plate and the second plate, which can avoid the snap-fit member 21 inserted into the insertion hole 1111, so that the snap-fit member 21 can smoothly engage with the insertion hole 1111. It also avoids the support member 22 inserted into the connection hole 1112, so that the support member 22 can smoothly engage with the connection hole 1112. Thus, the second connecting part 201 and the first connecting part 111 can be stably engaged in place, and the second decorative panel 20 and the first decorative panel 10 can be stably overlapped and engaged in place.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 111 is disposed on the side of the mounting base 11 facing the second decorative panel 20 in the second direction. That is, the first plate is disposed on the side of the second plate facing the second decorative panel 20, and the second plate is correspondingly located on the side of the first plate facing the sheet metal 200. The arrangement is reasonable and facilitates the assembly of the first decorative panel 10 and the second decorative panel 20 as well as the connection with the sheet metal 200. The mounting base 11 achieves a snap-fit connection with the second decorative panel 20 and the sheet metal 200 through the mounting part 112 arranged in the second direction and the first connecting part 111. This allows the first decorative panel 10 to be connected and assembled with the second decorative panel 20 and the sheet metal 200 simultaneously in the thickness direction through the mounting base 11, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the mounting base 11 in other directions and enabling the decorative panel assembly 100 to better meet the assembly and use needs under limited space conditions.
[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting base 11 and the first trim panel 10 can be an integral piece. This makes the connection between the mounting base 11 and the first trim panel 10 more stable and reliable, and eliminates the assembly step between the mounting base 11 and the first trim panel 10, so that the first trim panel 10 can be more stably and reliably connected to the second trim panel 20 and the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000.
[0064] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 11 may also include at least one reinforcing rib 113, which is disposed in the cavity 1101 and connected to the inner wall of the cavity 1101.
[0065] In this embodiment, the mounting base 11 includes at least one reinforcing rib 113. The reinforcing rib 113 is disposed within the cavity 1101 and connected to the inner wall of the cavity 1101. This simple structure effectively enhances the structural strength of the mounting base 11, enabling it to stably connect the first decorative panel 10 and the second decorative panel 20, and ensuring the decorative panel assembly 100 is reliably and stably mounted onto the sheet metal 200. For example, the number of reinforcing ribs 113 can be one, two, three, four, five, six, etc. When multiple reinforcing ribs 113 are disposed within the cavity 1101, they can be staggered as needed. Optionally, the reinforcing rib 113 can be a plate rib.
[0066] In some examples of this utility model, references Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 11 may include a plurality of reinforcing ribs 113, which may include: a first reinforcing rib 113 and a second reinforcing rib 113. The first reinforcing rib 113 extends along a first direction and its periphery is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 1101. The second reinforcing rib 113 extends along a second direction and is located on the side of the first reinforcing rib 113 facing the second plate. Both ends of the second reinforcing rib 113 are connected to the first reinforcing rib 113 and the inner wall of the cavity 1101.
[0067] In this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 113 extends along a first direction and its periphery is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 1101. The structure is simple and can provide good structural reinforcement for the mounting base 11 in the first direction. A second reinforcing rib 113 extends along a second direction and is connected to the first reinforcing rib 113 and the inner wall of the cavity 1101. This can provide good structural reinforcement for the mounting base 11 in the second direction and make the overall structure of the first reinforcing rib 113 and the second reinforcing rib 113 more stable and stronger, thereby making the overall structure of the mounting base 11 more stable and reliable.
[0068] The second reinforcing rib 113 is disposed on the side of the first reinforcing rib 113 facing the second plate in the second direction, so that a good clearance space can be formed in the cavity 1101 between the first reinforcing rib 113 and the first plate to avoid the insertion of the snap-fit member 21 and the support member 22.
[0069] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 A vehicle 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present utility model is described.
[0070] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a trim panel assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present utility model.
[0071] Other configurations and operations of the vehicle 1000 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0072] According to the vehicle 1000 of the present utility model embodiment, by setting the trim panel assembly 100 of the first aspect embodiment above, by setting the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, the first trim panel 10 is provided with a mounting seat 11, the mounting seat 11 is formed with a mounting part 112 and a first connecting part 111, the mounting part 112 is adapted to be snapped to the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000, and the first connecting part 111 is snapped to the second connecting part 201 of the second trim panel 20, so that the mounting seat 11 can integrate the structure of snapping to the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 and the structure of snapping to the sheet metal 200, thereby making the overall structure of the structure of snapping to the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 and the structure of snapping to the sheet metal 200 more compact and occupying less space, so that the trim panel assembly 100 can better meet the assembly and use needs under limited space conditions, and make the application scenarios of the trim panel assembly 100 wider.

[0074] like Figures 1-4As shown, the vehicle 1000 includes a trim panel assembly 100 and a sheet metal 200. The sheet metal 200 constitutes the body structure of the vehicle 1000, such as the A-pillar and B-pillar. The trim panel assembly 100 is mounted on the sheet metal 200. The trim panel assembly 100 includes a first trim panel 10, a second trim panel 20, and a clip 30. The first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are arranged in a first direction and overlap. In the overlapping area, the first trim panel 10 is provided with a mounting seat 11. The mounting seat 11 and the first trim panel 10 are integral parts. The shape and size of the mounting seat 11 can be flexibly set as needed, and are not specifically limited here. The mounting seat 11 extends along a second direction, which is the thickness direction of the first trim panel 10. Specifically, the mounting seat 11 is formed on the side of the first trim panel 10 facing the sheet metal 200, and the second trim panel 20 overlaps on the side of the first trim panel 10 away from the sheet metal 200.
[0075] Mounting base 11 includes a first plate and a second plate arranged opposite to each other in a second direction, and defines a cavity 1101 between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate forms a first connecting portion 111, and the second plate forms a mounting portion 112. The first connecting portion 111 is provided with a plug hole 1111 and a connecting hole 1112. The plug hole 1111 and the connecting hole 1112 are the same hole. The mounting portion 112 is provided with a mounting groove 1121. One end of the buckle 30 is held in the mounting groove 1121, and the buckle 30 is snapped into connection with the sheet metal 200. The second decorative panel 20 has a second connecting portion 201. The second connecting portion 201 is provided with a snap-fit member 21 and a support member 22. The snap-fit member 21 is a snap-fit pin, and the support member 22 is a support pin. The snap-fit member 21 and the support member 22 are arranged along the overlapping edge of the second decorative panel 20 and extend in the second direction. The snap-fit member 21 and the support member 22 are located on the side of the second decorative panel 20 facing the first decorative panel 10. The snap-fit member 21 is snap-fitted into the insertion hole 1111, and the support member 22 is inserted into the connection hole 1112 and abuts against the inner wall of the connection hole 1112.
[0076] When the trim panel assembly 100 is assembled with the sheet metal 200, the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are snapped together by the snap-fit part 21 of the first connecting part 111 and the insertion hole 1111, and the support part 22 is inserted into the connecting hole 1112, so that the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 are snapped together in the overlapping area. The first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20 as a whole are then snapped together with the sheet metal 200 by the buckle 30 on the mounting base 11.
[0077] This embodiment provides a first trim panel 10 and a second trim panel 20. The first trim panel 10 has a mounting base 11, which has a mounting portion 112 and a first connecting portion 111. The mounting portion 112 is adapted to snap-fit with the sheet metal 200 of the vehicle 1000. The first connecting portion 111 snap-fits with the second connecting portion 201 of the second trim panel 20. This allows the mounting base 11 to integrate the structure for snap-fitting the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the structure for snap-fitting the first trim panel 10 and the sheet metal 200. As a result, the overall structure of the structure for snap-fitting the first trim panel 10 and the second trim panel 20, as well as the structure for snap-fitting the first trim panel 10 and the sheet metal 200, is more compact and occupies less space. This allows the trim panel assembly 100 to better meet the assembly and use needs under limited space conditions, and broadens the application scenarios of the trim panel assembly 100.
