Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of decorative strip components, specifically, it relates to an automotive decorative strip component. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive trim strips are decorative components installed on the exterior or interior of a vehicle, primarily to enhance its aesthetics while also serving protective and functional purposes. They are typically found on doors, windows, sides, and bumpers, and come in a variety of materials and designs that vary depending on the vehicle model and brand.

[0003] When a vehicle is impacted while driving, such as in a traffic accident, a collision with the trim strip, or the trim strip being forcibly removed, the clips on the trim strip are easily damaged. Replacing the trim strip directly will increase the later maintenance costs.

[0004] To address these shortcomings, an automotive trim component is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automotive trim component that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automotive trim strip assembly includes a trim strip body and a plurality of clips fixed to the trim strip body;

[0008] The card plate has a first placement slot and a card slot located below the first placement slot. A fixed frame is engaged in the first placement slot. Positioning plates are elastically fitted on both sides of the fixed frame. Baffles are fixed on opposite sides of the two positioning plates. The baffles are slidably fitted in the fixed frame. The ends of the positioning plates away from the card plate are chamfered.

[0009] Optionally, a connecting plate is provided along the length of the fixed frame, and the connecting plate divides the fixed frame into two areas. A push plate is slidably fitted within each area, and two springs are fixed between the push plate and the connecting plate.

[0010] Optionally, the connecting plate has a threaded rod at one end extending outside the fixed frame. The axial direction of the threaded rod is in the same straight line as the length direction of the clamping plate, and a positioning cylinder is threaded onto the threaded rod.

[0011] Optionally, a first guide groove is provided on both sides of the first placement groove, and the positioning plate is slidably fitted in the first guide groove. Two second guide grooves are provided on the opposite inner walls of the fixed frame, and the two positioning plates are slidably fitted in the two second guide grooves respectively.

[0012] Optionally, two third guide grooves are provided on the inner walls of the fixed frame. The length direction of the second guide groove is perpendicular to the length direction of the third guide groove. The push plate slides in the two relative third guide grooves. Multiple buffers and multiple support arms are fixed on the trim body. Positioning holes are provided on the support arms. Carding holes are provided on both sides of the first placement groove. The positioning cylinder is located in the carding holes.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:

[0014] By designing a quick-release structure on the positioning plate of the trim strip, the installation stability between the trim strip and the vehicle body is enhanced without affecting the installation strength. This allows for adaptation to different installation angle requirements of different parts of the vehicle body. If the positioning plate on the trim strip is damaged, only the damaged positioning plate needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire trim strip and reducing the cost of replacing the entire trim strip.

[0015] When the push plate slides within the area, it moves smoothly in a predetermined direction, reducing offset and thus improving the accuracy of the mounting plate on the vehicle body. If the trim strip is subjected to external pressure, the positioning plate drives the spring on the push plate to buffer the pressure, reducing deformation of the trim strip. After the external force is removed, the spring returns to its original position with its elastic force, maintaining the stability of the positioning plate's installation position.

[0016] Both sides of the first placement slot have locking holes, and the positioning cylinder is located in the locking holes. When the positioning cylinder rotates on the threaded rod, the threaded structure of the threaded rod converts the rotational motion into axial thrust, causing the positioning cylinder to slide into the locking hole. The outer diameter of the positioning cylinder and the inner diameter of the locking hole fit together, restricting the radial displacement of the connecting plate and improving the stability of the relative position of the fixed frame and the locking plate.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automotive trim strip assembly, including a trim strip body 1 and multiple clips 4 fixed to the trim strip body 1;

[0031] The card plate 4 has a first placement groove 403 and a card slot 416 located below the first placement groove 403. A fixing frame 406 is engaged in the first placement groove 403. Positioning plates 412 are elastically fitted on both sides of the fixing frame 406. Baffles 417 are fixed on the opposite sides of the two positioning plates 412. The baffles 417 are slidably fitted in the fixing frame 406. The end of the positioning plate 412 away from the card plate 4 has a chamfer 413.

[0032] By designing a quick-release structure on the positioning plate 412 on the trim body 1, the installation stability between the trim body 1 and the vehicle body can be enhanced without affecting the installation strength between the trim body 1 and the vehicle body, and can adapt to the installation angle requirements of different parts of the vehicle body to a certain extent. If the positioning plate 412 on the trim body 1 is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the entire trim body 1; only the damaged positioning plate 412 needs to be replaced, reducing the cost required to replace the entire trim body 1.

[0033] When the trim strip body 1 is impacted and lifts or detaches from the vehicle body, if the clips 6 or the slots 416 and positioning plate 412 on the vehicle body are damaged, the vehicle is likely to pose a safety hazard if driven again, requiring towing to a repair shop. However, with the trim strip body 1 of this application, the user can replace the damaged positioning plate 412, or if the fixing frame 406 is also damaged, the fixing frame 406 can be replaced as well. In this case, the trim strip body 1 can be temporarily fastened to the vehicle body, with the positioning plate 412 replacing the clips 6 to install the trim strip body 1 on the vehicle body. The user can then drive the vehicle to the nearest repair shop to repair the trim strip body 1. This reduces repair costs to some extent. If the damage to the trim strip body 1 is minor, 412 can continue to be used to install the trim strip body 1 on the vehicle body. To reduce the production cost of the trim strip body 1 of this application, the positioning plate 412 of this application can be placed on the easily damaged trim strip body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing frame 406 has a connecting plate along its length, dividing the fixing frame 406 into two areas. A push plate 414 is slidably fitted within each area, and two springs 415 are fixed between the push plate 414 and the connecting plate. When the push plate 414 slides within the area, it moves smoothly in a predetermined direction, reducing offset and thus improving the accuracy of the mounting plate 4 on the vehicle body. If the trim strip body 1 is subjected to external pressure, the positioning plate 412 drives the springs 415 on the push plate 414 to buffer the pressure, reducing deformation of the trim strip body 1. After the external force is removed, the springs 415 return to their original position using elastic force, maintaining the stability of the positioning plate 412's installation position.

[0035] In this embodiment, a threaded rod 409 is provided at one end of the connecting plate extending outside the fixed frame 406. The axial direction of the threaded rod 409 is on the same straight line as the length direction of the clamping plate 4. A positioning cylinder 410 is threadedly fitted onto the threaded rod 409. A locking hole 404 is provided on both sides of the first placement groove 403, and the positioning cylinder 410 is located in the locking hole 404. When the positioning cylinder 410 rotates on the threaded rod 409, the threaded structure of the threaded rod 409 converts the rotational motion into axial thrust, causing the positioning cylinder 410 to slide into the locking hole 404. The outer diameter of the positioning cylinder 410 fits with the inner diameter of the locking hole 404, restricting the radial displacement of the connecting plate and improving the stability of the relative position between the fixed frame 406 and the clamping plate 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first placement slot 403 has first guide slots 405 on both sides. The positioning plate 412 is slidably fitted within the first guide slots 405. The inner walls of the fixing frame 406 each have two second guide slots 411, and the two positioning plates 412 are slidably fitted within the two second guide slots 411 respectively. When the positioning plate 412 slides within the first guide slots 405 and the second guide slots 411, the limiting effect of the first guide slots 405 and the second guide slots 411 provides a sliding track for the positioning plate 412, restricting its movement direction only along the length direction of the first guide slot 405, thus improving the stability of the movement of the positioning plate 412.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 406 has two third guide grooves 408 on its opposite inner walls. The length direction of the second guide groove 411 is perpendicular to the length direction of the third guide groove 408. The push plate 414 slides within the two opposite third guide grooves 408. When the push plate 414 slides in the third guide groove 408, the two sides of the push plate 414 are embedded in the opposite third guide grooves 408, forming a double-sided track support, reducing the offset caused by a single third guide groove 408. When the trim body 1 is impacted, the positioning plate 412 drives the push plate 414 to slide in the third guide groove 408 and compress the spring 415. Since the third guide groove 408 restricts the tilt of the push plate 414, the elasticity of the spring can increase the effect of absorbing the impact, and the buffering effect is improved by 10% to 20%.

[0038] In this embodiment, the trim strip body 1 is fixed with multiple buffer components 5 and multiple support arms 2, and the support arms 2 are provided with positioning holes 3. The buffer components 5 are made of rubber or silicone. When the vehicle is moving, such as on a bumpy road, the buffer components 5 absorb vibration energy through elastic deformation. The support arms 2 serve as the connection medium between the trim strip body 1 and the vehicle body. They are fixed to the vehicle body mounting base 8 by bolts or buckles passing through the positioning holes 3, providing basic support strength for the trim strip body 1 and improving the installation posture of the trim strip body 1 on the vehicle body, such as horizontality and curvature fit.

[0039] When the trim body 1 needs to be installed on the vehicle body, the fixing frame 406 is placed in the first placement slot 403 of the clamping plate 4, the positioning cylinder 410 is rotated, and the positioning cylinder 410 rotates on the threaded rod 409, so that one end of the positioning cylinder 410 slides into the clamping hole 404. Then, the push plate 414 is slid along the length of the fixing frame 406, so that it enters the area separated by the connecting plate. The two sides of the push plate 414 are embedded in the opposite third guide grooves 408, and the push plate 414 is compressed, so that the push plate and the connecting plate are aligned. The two springs 415 between them generate an initial preload force to keep the push plate 414 in the initial position within the fixed frame 406. The positioning plate 412 is slidably inserted into the fixed frame 406 along the first guide groove 405 and the second guide groove 411, so that the chamfer 413 at the end of the positioning plate 412 faces outward. The push plate 414 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 415 is used to make the push plate 414 press against the positioning plate 412. At the same time, the baffle 417 is limited within the fixed frame 406 to reduce the position plate 412 from falling off.

[0040] Align the trim body 1 with the target installation position on the vehicle body, and insert the slot 416 on the lower side of the clip 4 into the buckle 6 of the vehicle body mounting seat 8 to complete the initial positioning of the trim. Insert bolts through the positioning holes 3 of the support arm 2 to initially fix the support arm 2 to the vehicle body. Push the trim body 1 so that the chamfer 413 of the positioning plate 412 is aligned with the positioning groove 7 of the vehicle body. If there is an angle deviation on the surface of the vehicle body, the chamfer 413 pushes the positioning plate 412 to slide within the fixing frame 406. Using the guiding effect of the chamfer 413, the positioning plate 412 is inserted into the positioning groove 7 of the vehicle body. At this time, the push plate 414 compresses the spring 415 to buffer the impact and make the insertion process smooth. Check the fit between the trim body 1 and the vehicle body to match the installation angle of the trim body 1 with the curvature of the vehicle body.

[0041] To facilitate the fixing of the decorative strip body 1, the following method can be used:

[0042] The vehicle body is provided with a mounting seat 8, and the mounting seat 8 is provided with a buckle 6. The buckle 6 is located in the slot 416. The vehicle body is provided with two positioning slots 7 that are adapted to the positioning plate 412.
