[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 A passenger-side decorative strip includes a main body 2 installed on the passenger-side door panel 1. A mounting groove 101 is provided on the right side of the passenger-side door panel 1. The main body 2 is movably fitted within the mounting groove 101. The left, top, bottom, front, and rear sides of the main body 2 are adhesively covered with sealing rubber. The sealing rubber is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 101, achieving a seal between the main body 2 and the mounting groove 101 and preventing external water from entering the mounting groove 101. A convenient removal mechanism is installed on the left side of the main body 2 and on the passenger-side door panel 1. The convenient removal mechanism includes:

[0030] The air-blowing push assembly 3 is embedded in the left inner wall of the mounting groove 101 and makes movable contact with the left side of the side decorative strip body 2. The air-blowing push assembly 3 is used to push and squeeze the side decorative strip body 2 to the right.

[0031] The air-blowing push assembly 3 includes a push plate 305. The right side of the push plate 305 is in movable contact with the left side of the side trim strip body 2. A guide rod 304 is welded and fixed to the left side of the push plate 305. The passenger side door panel 1 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 304. A groove 103 is formed on the left inner wall of the mounting groove 101, and a guide groove is formed on the left inner wall of the groove 103. The inner wall of the guide groove is in slidable contact with the outer side of the guide rod 304. A bottom part of the guide rod 304 is provided with... A limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the limiting groove and guide groove. The limiting block is slidably connected to the limiting groove and cooperates with the limiting groove to limit and prevent the guide rod 304 from detaching. Two airbags 303 are glued to the left inner wall of the groove 103. The right side of the airbags 303 is glued to the left side of the push plate 305. A first groove 102 is opened on the left side of the passenger side door guard plate 1. Both guide grooves are connected to the first groove 102. The first groove 102 contains... An L-shaped tube 301 with a sealed bottom is provided. A second groove 104 is provided on the right side of the passenger-side door panel 1. The right end of the L-shaped tube 301 extends into the second groove 104. A through hole communicating with the second groove 104 is provided on the inner wall of the right side of the first groove 102. The inner wall of the through hole is fixedly connected to the outer side of the L-shaped tube 301. The passenger-side door panel 1 is fixedly fitted onto the L-shaped tube 301. Two vent pipes are fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the L-shaped tube 301. 302, the right end of the vent tube 302 extends into the corresponding airbag 303, wherein the left inner wall of the airbag 303 is provided with an adhesive hole for bonding and fixing with the corresponding vent tube 302, and a rubber plug 5 is squeezed and fitted in the second groove 104. The right side of the rubber plug 5 extends to the right side of the passenger side door panel 1. The rubber plug 5 is used to block the right end of the L-shaped tube 301, and air is supplied to the two airbags 303 through the L-shaped tube 301 and the two vent tubes 302.

[0032] The magnetic fixing assembly 4 consists of two sets, which are fixed between the left side of the side decorative strip body 2 and the left inner wall of the mounting groove 101. The magnetic fixing assembly 4 includes a first strong magnetic ring 401 fixedly connected to the left side of the side decorative strip body 2. Two rectangular grooves are opened on the left inner wall of the mounting groove 101. A second strong magnetic ring 402 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the rectangular groove. The first strong magnetic ring 401 is movably fitted into the corresponding rectangular groove and magnetically fixed to the right side of the second strong magnetic ring 402. The magnetic attraction between the first strong magnetic ring 401 and the second strong magnetic ring 402 can be used to quickly fix the side decorative strip body 2.

[0033] This embodiment allows the side trim strip body 2 to be disassembled and replaced by squeezing from the inside, without the need for tools. When replacing, only the side trim strip body 2 and the two first strong magnetic rings 401 need to be replaced, without replacing all the disassembly structures, thus reducing replacement costs. In addition, the side trim strip body 2 can be installed by simply pushing it, meeting usage requirements.

[0034] The method of use in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the side trim strip body 2 is fixed in the mounting groove 101 on the passenger side door panel 1 by two first strong magnetic rings 401 and two second strong magnetic rings 402, and the right side of the side trim strip body 2 is flush with the right side of the passenger side door panel 1 without protrusion, and the right side of the side trim strip body 2 is unobstructed, which improves its aesthetics.

[0035] When the side trim strip body 2 needs to be removed for replacement, pull the rubber plug 5 to the right to separate it from the second groove 104, releasing the obstruction on the right end of the L-shaped tube 301. Connect the right end of the L-shaped tube 301 with an external air pump, supplying air into the L-shaped tube 301 through the external air pump's air supply end. The gas inside the L-shaped tube 301 is then introduced into the corresponding airbags 303 via two vent pipes 302. As gas is introduced, the airbags 303 gradually inflate and push the push plate 305. Under this pushing force, the push plate 305 moves to the right and squeezes the side trim strip body 2. The push plate 305 also drives the guide rod 304 to move to the right. Under this squeezing force, the side trim strip body 2 moves to the right, causing the side trim strip body 2 to... The two first strong magnetic rings 401 separate from their corresponding second strong magnetic rings 402. As the side decorative strip body 2 moves to the right, it gradually moves out of the mounting groove 101, allowing the side decorative strip body 2 to be removed directly, thus completing the disassembly of the side decorative strip body 2. Furthermore, the way the side decorative strip body 2 makes active contact with the air-blowing component 3 means that when replacing the side decorative strip body 2 in the future, only the side decorative strip body 2 and the two first strong magnetic rings 401 need to be replaced, without having to replace all the disassembly structures, reducing replacement costs. Moreover, by squeezing the side decorative strip body 2 from the inside out, it is convenient for personnel to directly remove the side decorative strip body 2 without the need for tools.

[0036] During subsequent installation, the external air pump supply end is separated from the right end of the L-shaped tube 301. The first strong magnetic ring 401 on the new side trim strip body 2 can be aligned with the corresponding rectangular groove, and the side trim strip body 2 is pushed to the left. As the side trim strip body 2 moves to the left, it squeezes the push plate 305 to the left. As the push plate 305 moves to the left, it squeezes the two airbags 303. Under the squeezing force, the gas inside the airbags 303 is discharged to the outside through the corresponding vent pipes 302 and L-shaped tubes 301 in sequence. As the gas inside the airbags 303 is discharged... This causes the airbag 303 to contract and reset, and the squeezing force of the airbag 303 on the push plate 305 disappears. When the first strong magnetic ring 401 moves to contact the corresponding second strong magnetic ring 402, the right side of the side trim strip body 2 is flush with the right side of the passenger side door panel 1. At this time, the side trim strip body 2 is fixed by the adsorption force between the two first strong magnetic rings 401 and the two second strong magnetic rings 402. The installation is completed, and the installation is convenient for personnel by simply pushing the opposite side trim strip body 2. Example

[0037] like Figure 5-6 As shown, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the airbag 303 is detachably fixed to the left inner wall of the groove 103, a male Velcro ring 7 is glued to the left side of the airbag 303, two mounting grooves are provided on the left inner wall of the groove 103, and a female Velcro ring 6 is glued and fitted in the mounting groove. The male Velcro ring 7 is glued and fixed to the corresponding female Velcro ring 6. Both the male Velcro ring 7 and the female Velcro ring 6 are fitted on the corresponding air tube 302. The airbag 303 is fixed by the male Velcro ring 7 and the female Velcro ring 6, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the airbag 303. The right side of the airbag 303 is in contact with the left side of the push plate 305. An insertion hole is provided on the left inner wall of the airbag 303, and the inner wall of the insertion hole is in close contact with the outer side of the corresponding air tube 302.

[0038] The left side of the push plate 305 and the right end of the guide rod 304 can be detachably and fixedly installed;

[0039] An external threaded block 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the left side of the push plate 305. A threaded groove is opened at the right end of the guide rod 304. The threaded groove is threadedly connected to the corresponding external threaded block 8. A screwdriver adapter groove 9 is opened in the middle of the right side of the push plate 305. The screwdriver adapter groove 9 cooperates with an external screwdriver to drive the push plate 305 to rotate.

[0040] This embodiment enables the replacement of damaged airbags 303, improving long-term stability.

[0041] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment also has the following functions: When the airbag 303 is damaged after prolonged use and needs to be replaced, after removing the side decorative strip body 2, an external screwdriver can be inserted into the screwdriver adapter slot 9 and rotated. The external screw drives the push plate 305 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the push plate 305 causes the external threaded block 8 to separate from the guide rod 304, allowing the push plate 305 to be removed and its obstruction of the two airbags 303 to be released. Then, the airbag 303 can be pulled to the right, causing the corresponding male Velcro ring 7 to engage with the female Velcro ring 7. By separating the Velcro ring 6, the damaged airbag 303 can be removed, and the new airbag 303 can be fixed in the groove 103 by the cooperation of the female Velcro ring 6 and the corresponding male Velcro ring 7. At the same time, the airbag 303 is tightly fitted onto the corresponding vent tube 302, and since the outer side of the vent tube 302 is in close contact with the inner wall of the insertion hole, a seal can be ensured. Then, by rotating the push plate 305, the external threaded block 8 is screwed into the threaded groove, thereby realizing the connection between the guide rod 304 and the push plate 305, thus completing the replacement of the airbag 303. The replaceable airbag 303 improves the long-term stability of use.
