[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the description of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," and "connect," etc., 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 mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used merely to distinguish elements with similar properties, not to indicate or imply relative importance or a specific order.

[0034] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.

[0035] Currently, most charging indicator lights for new energy vehicles are located at the charging port. When the car is charging, users need to bend down or get close to the car to check the charging information. This not only makes it inconvenient to view the charging information, but also, due to the small size of the charging indicator lights and the limited information they display, they cannot effectively convey complex information such as charging progress and remaining charging time to the user.

[0036] To address the inconvenience of viewing charging information while a car is charging, it is necessary to improve or optimize the existing vehicle body structure.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The first aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle body pillar decoration component for decorating the vehicle body pillars. It should be noted that the vehicle body pillars referred to here are pillars directly connected to the roof of the vehicle and serving a supporting function, such as the B-pillar of a car, but are not limited to this.

[0039] The vehicle body pillar trim assembly includes a trim panel 1 and a light source module 2. The trim panel 1 is mounted on the vehicle body pillar, and the light source module 2 is mounted on the trim panel 1. It should be noted that the trim panel 1 includes a light-transmitting portion 121. Specifically, the light-transmitting portion 121 is located in the light emission path of the light source module 2, allowing the light emitted by the light source module 2 to exit through the light-transmitting portion 121 when the light source module 2 is operating. Preferably, the light-transmitting portion 121 is made of a material with good light transmittance (such as silicate), and the diameter of the light-transmitting portion 121 is greater than or equal to 3 cm. The light source module 2 mentioned here can be a modular structure that integrates a light source (such as an LED) with other necessary components (such as a drive circuit, heat dissipation structure, optical elements, etc.), such as an LED light source module or an RGB full-color module. It communicates with the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) and can display charging-related information based on received message signals, including but not limited to text information, and the lighting and extinguishing of the lights.

[0040] Thus, compared to existing technologies, when a car is charging, because the position of the light source module 2 is vertically higher than the car's charging port, and the size of the light-transmitting part 121 is larger, it helps avoid the user's habit of having to bend down or get close to the car to view the car's charging information. Specifically, the charging information mentioned here includes, but is not limited to, information such as charging status, charging progress, and remaining charging time.

[0041] Furthermore, the decorative panel 1 includes an inner panel 11 for connecting to the vehicle body pillars and an outer panel 12 fixedly connected to the inner panel 11. A light source module 2 is mounted on the inner panel 11. A light-transmitting portion 121 is formed in the middle of the outer panel 12, which is higher in the height direction than the vehicle's charging port. Preferably, the light source module 2 is mounted in the middle of the inner panel 11. It should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" are relative to the vehicle body; "inner" refers to the direction closer to the vehicle interior, and "outer" refers to the direction farther from the vehicle interior.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner panel 11 includes a main body 111 and a mounting hole 116 provided on the main body 111. Specifically, the mounting hole 116 is formed in the middle of the main body 111 for mounting the light source module 2. Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting hole 116 is adapted to the outer contour of the light source module 2, and the light source module 2 is disposed on the side of the inner panel 11 facing the vehicle body and extends out from the mounting hole 116. Thus, when the light source module 2 is mounted on the inner panel 11, since the light source module 2 penetrates the inner panel 11, a part of the light source module 2 overlaps with a part of the inner panel 11. This helps to avoid excessive protrusion of the light source module 2 on the inner panel 11 due to its own size, ensuring the aesthetics of the location of the light source module 2.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the inner panel 11 also includes a first positioning portion 112. Specifically, the first positioning portion 112 is provided on the side of the main body 111 near the vehicle interior, extending from the inner surface of the main body 111 in a direction away from the main body 111 toward the vehicle interior, and abutting the mounting hole 116, for determining the mounting position of the light source module 2. Preferably, the first positioning portion 112 is formed in the middle of the main body 111.

[0044] Furthermore, the inner panel 11 also includes a second positioning part 113, a first connecting part 114, and a second connecting part 115 disposed on the main body 111. The second positioning part 113, the first connecting part 114, and the second connecting part 115 are connected to or integrally formed with the main body 111. Specifically, the second positioning part 113, relative to the first positioning part 112, is also disposed on the side of the main body 111 closer to the vehicle interior, and extends from the inner surface of the main body 111 in a direction away from the main body 111 towards the vehicle interior, used to determine the installation position of the decorative panel 1. The first connecting part 114 and the second connecting part 115 are respectively disposed at both ends of the main body 111, used for fixed connection with the vehicle body pillars. Preferably, there are at least two second positioning parts 113, with the two second positioning parts 113 respectively formed at both ends of the main body 111. The first connecting part 114 is formed at the upper end of the main body 111 and has a hook groove with an opening facing downwards. The second connecting part 115 is formed at the lower end of the main body 111 and has a connecting hole corresponding to the vehicle body pillar.

[0045] More specifically, the first positioning part 112 and the second positioning part 113 can be positioning protrusions, such as cross pins, slotted pins, etc., the first connecting part 114 can be a hook groove, and the second connecting part 115 can be a connecting hole.

[0046] Thus, when the light source module 2 is installed on the vehicle body pillar via the inner plate 11, it must first be connected to the mounting hole corresponding to the light source module 2 through the engagement of the first positioning part 112, so that the light source module 2 is installed on the inner plate 11. Then, the inner plate 11 is positioned on the vehicle body pillar through the engagement of the positioning hole corresponding to the second positioning part 113. Next, the inner plate 11 is connected to the vehicle body pillar through the engagement of the hook groove of the first connecting part 114 and the hook corresponding to the vehicle body pillar, and through the engagement of the connecting hole of the second connecting part 115 and the fixing hole corresponding to the vehicle body pillar. Finally, the inner plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vehicle body pillar by fastening elements (such as fastening screws), so as to realize the installation of the light source module 2 and the inner plate 11 on the vehicle body pillar.

[0047] Furthermore, to reduce light entering the vehicle body, the trim panel 1 also includes a light-shielding layer (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the light-shielding layer is adhered to the inner surface of the outer panel 12, and is located above the light-transmitting portion 121 relative to it. Preferably, the light-shielding layer is made of a material with poor light transmittance (such as ink).

[0048] Furthermore, to ensure the vehicle's body appearance, the width of the outer panel 12 gradually decreases along its length. Preferably, the shape of the outer panel 12 is adapted to the shape of the vehicle body pillars.

The vehicle pillar decorative component is mounted on the vehicle pillar, enabling the vehicle pillar assembly to display various combined patterns to convey a strong sense of technology. Specifically, the working display effect of the light source module 2 of the vehicle pillar decorative component can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, this represents the vehicle's charging information. Red indicates that the vehicle is charging and the current charging progress is 20%; yellow also indicates that the vehicle is charging and the charging progress is 40%, 60%, and 80% respectively; green indicates that the vehicle is fully charged or the battery level is 100%.

[0051] In other embodiments, the working display effect of the light source module 2 of the vehicle body pillar decorative assembly can also be as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it represents a greeting / farewell to guests.
