Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle exterior trim technology, and in particular to a vehicle body trim strip. This application also relates to a vehicle equipped with the aforementioned vehicle body trim strip. Background Technology

[0002] In the design and manufacturing of vehicle body trim strips, for longer trim strips, such as continuous roof trim strips and side trim strips, a split structure design is usually adopted due to the limitations of single-piece molding processes. That is, the long trim strip is broken down into multiple independent components, such as the front trim strip and the middle trim strip. After these multiple independent components are molded separately, they are then spliced ​​and assembled.

[0003] However, in split structures, two adjacent trim strips are typically connected and fixed using simple bonding or screwing methods. While these two methods achieve basic fixing functions, they reveal structural instability in practical applications. The joints between adjacent trim strips are prone to deformation, resulting in inconsistent gap sizes and poor surface finish, which affects the overall refinement of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a vehicle body trim strip to improve the overall structural stability and assembly consistency of the vehicle body trim strip.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] A vehicle body trim strip includes a trim strip connector and two trim strips that are mated and connected by the trim strip connector;

[0007] Each of the decorative strips is provided with a first slot for inserting at least a portion of the decorative strip connector, and each of the first slots has a snap-fit ​​part on its groove wall;

[0008] Both ends of the trim connector are provided with snap-fit ​​portions. The trim connector is inserted into the corresponding first slot. The snap-fit ​​portion can abut against the slot wall and deform elastically. When the trim connector is inserted to a preset position, the snap-fit ​​portion resets and locks onto the corresponding snap-fit ​​mating portion to restrict the trim connector from detaching from the trim strip in the insertion direction.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the decorative strips includes a strip body and a first groove plate and a second groove plate disposed on one side of each strip body; the first groove plate and the second groove plate extend along the length direction of the decorative strip, and the first groove plate, the strip body and the second groove plate define the first slot; at least one of the first groove plate and the second groove plate is provided with the snap-fit ​​part.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first groove plate and the second groove plate include a connecting portion and a first edge portion connected to the connecting portion; the first groove plate and the second groove plate are respectively connected to the trim body through the connecting portion, and the two first edge portions can limit the trim connector in the thickness direction of the trim; the snap-fit ​​part is provided on at least one of the first edge portions.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the decorative strip is provided with a third groove plate, the third groove plate extends along the length direction of the decorative strip, and a second slot is formed between the third groove plate and the first groove plate, the second slot being located on one side of the first slot; the decorative strip connector is provided with a first insertion arm, the first insertion arm being inserted into the second slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the main body of the decorative strip is provided with a fourth groove plate, which extends along the length direction of the decorative strip, and a third slot is formed between the fourth groove plate and the second groove plate. The third slot and the second slot are respectively placed on both sides of the first slot. The decorative strip connector is provided with a second insertion arm, which is inserted into the third slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the first groove plate is provided with a second edge portion, each of the second edge portions being able to limit the first plug arm in the thickness direction of the decorative strip; and or, the second groove plate is provided with a third edge portion; each of the third edge portions being able to limit the second plug arm in the thickness direction of the decorative strip.

[0014] Furthermore, the first groove plate and the second groove plate are aligned at one end near the abutment position of the two decorative strips; and / or, in the length direction of the decorative strip, the main body of the decorative strip has an extension portion extending to the outside of the first groove plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the trim connector is provided with a recessed groove, and when the snap-fit ​​part is elastically deformed, at least a portion of the snap-fit ​​part is embedded in the recessed groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion is provided with a guide structure, which can guide the trim connector to be inserted into the first slot.

[0017] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages:

[0018] (1) The body trim strip described in this application, through the snap-fit ​​parts provided at both ends of the trim strip connector and the snap-fit ​​mating parts on each trim strip, allows the snap-fit ​​parts to abut against the groove wall of the first slot on the trim strip and deform elastically during the insertion process of the trim strip connector and the trim strip. When the trim strip connector is inserted into the preset position, the snap-fit ​​parts are reset and snapped onto the snap-fit ​​mating parts. This structure can connect two trim strips by the trim strip connector, and can also form a hidden snap-fit ​​connection structure, which ensures the overall structural stability of the body trim strip and also helps to ensure the assembly consistency of the body trim strip, thereby improving the refinement of the body. Moreover, compared with the use of an integrated trim strip structure, it is also easier to process and prepare the trim strip, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and later maintenance costs, and is also easier to assemble.

[0019] (2) A first groove plate and a second groove plate are provided on each trim strip body, such that the first groove plate and the second groove plate extend along the length direction of the trim strip body. The first groove plate and the second groove plate are used to define the first slot, which is convenient for processing and preparation, and also provides a guiding effect for the insertion of the trim strip connector and the trim strip body, reducing the deviation during assembly. In addition, the first groove plate and the second groove plate can be used to improve the overall structural strength of the trim strip. At the same time, a snap-fit ​​part is provided on at least one of the first groove plate and the second groove plate, which is convenient for setting the snap-fit ​​part and helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the trim strip.

[0020] (3) Both the first groove plate and the second groove plate include a connecting part and a first edge part, so that the first groove plate and the second groove plate are connected to the main body of the trim strip through the connecting part respectively. The snap-fit ​​part is set on at least one of the first edge parts, which is more conducive to the setting and processing of the snap-fit ​​part. Moreover, the two first edge parts can also limit the trim strip connector in the thickness direction of the trim strip, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the trim strip connector, thereby helping to ensure the consistency of the surface difference after the trim strip is assembled.

[0021] (4) A third groove plate extending along the length of the decorative strip is provided on the main body of the decorative strip, so that a second slot is formed between the third groove plate and the first groove plate, and the first plug arm on the decorative strip connector is inserted into the second slot. This can further improve the reliability of the connection between the decorative strip connector and the main body of the decorative strip, and can also limit the displacement of the decorative strip connector in the width direction of the decorative strip.

[0022] (5) A fourth groove plate extending along the length of the decorative strip is provided on the main body of the decorative strip, so that a third slot is formed between the fourth groove plate and the second groove plate, and the second insertion arm on the decorative strip connector is inserted into the second slot. This can further improve the reliability of the insertion between the decorative strip connector and the main body of the decorative strip, and can also further limit the displacement of the decorative strip connector in the width direction of the decorative strip. At the same time, combined with the constraints of the decorative strip connector in the length and thickness directions of the decorative strip, the positional accuracy of the decorative strip connector can be better guaranteed, which is conducive to ensuring the consistency of gap and surface difference after the decorative strip is assembled.

[0023] (6) By setting a second retaining edge on the first groove plate, the first plug arm can be limited in the thickness direction of the decorative strip, preventing the first plug arm from shifting in the thickness direction of the decorative strip and improving the reliability of the connection between the decorative strip connector and the decorative strip.

[0024] By providing a third retaining edge on the second groove plate, the second insert arm can be limited in the thickness direction of the decorative strip, preventing displacement of the second insert arm in the thickness direction of the decorative strip and improving the reliability of the connection between the decorative strip connector and the decorative strip. Furthermore, the cooperation between the second retaining edge and the third retaining plate prevents displacement of the first and second insert arms in the thickness direction of the decorative strip, further improving the reliability of the connection between the decorative strip connector and the decorative strip.

[0025] (7) The ends of the first and second groove plates near the joint position of the two decorative strips are aligned, which facilitates the preparation and molding of the decorative strips and also facilitates the design and preparation of the decorative strip connectors. In the length direction of the decorative strip, the main body of the decorative strip has an extension portion, that is, the joint end face of the main body of the decorative strip protrudes relative to the end face of the first groove plate. This design can better cover the decorative strip connectors after the two decorative strips are joined together, thereby improving the overall appearance and refinement of the vehicle body decorative strips.

[0026] (8) The groove provided on the trim connector can provide deformation space for the elastic deformation of the snap-fit ​​part, so that when the trim connector is inserted into the trim strip, the snap-fit ​​part can deform smoothly, thus facilitating the smooth insertion of the trim connector.

[0027] (9) A guide structure is provided on the snap-fit ​​part, which helps to guide the trim connector to be smoothly inserted into the first slot, making the assembly between the trim connector and the trim strip more convenient.

[0028] This application also proposes a vehicle in which the vehicle body is provided with the body trim strips as described above.

[0029] The vehicle described in this application, by adopting the aforementioned body trim strip, facilitates the processing and preparation of the trim strip, which helps reduce manufacturing costs and subsequent maintenance costs, facilitates assembly, and utilizes the provided trim strip connectors to form a hidden snap-fit ​​connection structure, ensuring the overall structural stability and assembly consistency of the body trim strip, thereby enhancing the overall refinement of the vehicle body.

In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" 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; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0045] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0046] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0047] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle body trim strip, which helps to improve the overall structural stability and assembly consistency of the vehicle body trim strip, and helps to reduce costs.

[0048] In the design and manufacturing of vehicle body trim strips, for longer trim strips, such as continuous roof trim strips and side trim strips, a split structure design is usually adopted due to the limitations of single-piece molding processes. That is, the long trim strip is broken down into multiple independent components, such as the front trim strip and the middle trim strip. After these multiple independent components are molded separately, they are then spliced ​​and assembled.

[0049] However, in split structures, two adjacent trim strips are typically connected and fixed using simple bonding or screwing methods. While these two methods achieve basic fixing functions, they reveal structural instability in practical applications. The joints between adjacent trim strips are prone to deformation, resulting in inconsistent gap sizes and poor surface finish, which affects the overall refinement of the vehicle.

[0050] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the body trim strip in this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 6 In terms of overall design, it includes a trim connector 2 and two decorative strips 1 that are connected by the trim connector 2.

[0051] Each decorative strip 1 is provided with a first slot 10 for at least a portion of the decorative strip connector 2 to be inserted, and each first slot 10 has a snap-fit ​​part 100 on its groove wall. Both ends of the decorative strip connector 2 are provided with snap-fit ​​parts 200. When the decorative strip connector 2 is inserted into the corresponding first slot 10, the snap-fit ​​part 100 can be pressed against the groove wall and elastically deformed. When the decorative strip connector 2 is inserted to a preset position, the snap-fit ​​part 200 resets and locks onto the corresponding snap-fit ​​part 100, so as to restrict the decorative strip connector 2 from detaching from the decorative strip 1 in the insertion direction.

[0052] Thus, through the snap-fit ​​portions 200 provided at both ends of the trim connector 2 and the snap-fit ​​mating portions 100 on each trim strip 1, during the insertion process of the trim connector 2 and the trim strip 1, the snap-fit ​​portions 200 can be elastically deformed by pressing against the groove wall of the first slot 10 on the trim strip 1, and when the trim connector 2 is inserted into the preset position, the snap-fit ​​portions 200 are reset and snapped onto the snap-fit ​​mating portions 100.

[0053] This structural form, using trim connector 2 to connect two trim strips 1, can also form a hidden snap-fit ​​connection structure, ensuring the overall structural stability of the body trim strip 1 and facilitating the consistency of the body trim strip 1 assembly, thereby enhancing the vehicle's refined appearance. Moreover, compared to a one-piece structure for the trim strip 1, or a form with a connecting structure on one of the trim strips, it not only facilitates the processing and preparation of the trim strip 1, reducing manufacturing and subsequent maintenance costs, but also simplifies assembly.

[0054] Based on the above overview, specifically, the two decorative strips 1 mentioned above can be, for example, divided into a front decorative strip 1 and a middle decorative strip 1 at the junction of the rear door and the rear side panel, or they can be two independent decorative strips 1 in other locations on the body to meet the personalized needs of different models. It is also worth noting that the material of the decorative strips 1 can be, for example, aluminum alloy. This material not only achieves lightweighting but also has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, effectively improving the aesthetics and durability of the vehicle body.

[0055] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, each decorative strip 1 includes, for example, a strip body and a first groove plate 11 and a second groove plate 12 disposed on one side of each strip body. The first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 both extend along the length direction of the strip body, and the first groove plate 11, the strip body, and the second groove plate 12 define the aforementioned first slot 10. Simultaneously, at least one of the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 100.

[0056] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​part 100 can be provided only on the first groove plate 11, only on the second groove plate 12, or on both the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12. In this case, it can be understood that the number of snap-fit ​​parts 200 provided on the trim connector 2 matches the number of snap-fit ​​parts 100. For example, if each end of the trim connector 2 has a snap-fit ​​part 200, then each trim strip 1 will also have one snap-fit ​​part 100. This single snap-fit ​​part 100 can be provided only on the first groove plate 11 or only on the second groove plate 12.

[0057] Of course, it is also possible to do as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each end of the trim connector 2 is provided with two snap-fit ​​portions 200. At this time, each trim strip 1 also has two corresponding snap-fit ​​mating portions 100, which are respectively provided on the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12. The two snap-fit ​​portions 200 at each end of the trim connector 2 engage with the two snap-fit ​​mating portions 100 at the corresponding ends.

[0058] In specific implementation, the snap-fit ​​portions 200 at both ends of the trim connector 2 are, for example, elastically deformable protrusions, while the snap-fit ​​mating portions 100 on the trim strip 1 can be, for example, snap-fit ​​holes or slots that can engage with the protrusions. When the trim connector 2 is inserted into the first slot 10, the protrusion abuts against the slot wall and elastically deforms. When the trim connector 2 is inserted to a preset position on the trim strip 1, that is, when the protrusion is located at the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​hole, the protrusion is no longer constrained by the slot wall. At this time, the protrusion resets and is snapped into the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole.

[0059] This application provides a first groove plate 11 and a second groove plate 12 on each trim strip body, such that both the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 extend along the length direction of the trim strip body, thereby defining a first slot 10 between the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12. This structure facilitates the processing and preparation of the trim strip 1, and also helps to provide guidance for the insertion of the trim strip connector 2 into the trim strip body, reducing deviations during assembly. Furthermore, the formed first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 can be used to improve the overall structural strength of the trim strip 1. At the same time, a snap-fit ​​part 100 is provided on at least one of the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12, which not only facilitates the setting of the snap-fit ​​part 100, but also helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the trim strip 1.

[0060] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, in the structure of each decorative strip 1, the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 each include, for example, a connecting portion 111 and a first retaining edge portion 112 connected to the connecting portion 111. Furthermore, the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 are respectively connected to the decorative strip body through the connecting portion 111, and the two first retaining edge portions 112 can limit the decorative strip connector 2 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1. That is, as... Figure 4 As shown, on the cross-section of the decorative strip 1, a first edge portion 112 extends along the first groove plate 11 toward the side where the second groove plate 12 is located, and another first edge portion 112 extends along the second groove plate 12 toward the side where the first groove plate 11 is located.

[0061] The aforementioned snap-fit ​​portion 100 is provided, for example, on at least one of the first stop portions 112. It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​portion 100 may be provided on only one of the first stop portions 112, or the snap-fit ​​portion 100 may be provided on both first stop portions 112.

[0062] At this time, the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 adopt the above structure, which can facilitate the setting and processing of the snap-fit ​​part 100. Moreover, the two first edge parts 112 can also limit the trim strip connector 2 in the thickness direction of the trim strip 1, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the trim strip connector 2, thereby helping to ensure the surface difference consistency of the trim strip 1 after assembly.

[0063] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a third groove plate 13 may be provided on the trim body, extending along the length of the trim strip 1, and a second slot 20 is formed between the third groove plate 13 and the first groove plate 11, with the second slot 20 located on one side of the first slot 10. Corresponding to the second slot 20, the trim strip connector 2 is also provided with a first insertion arm 22, which is inserted into the second slot 20. This arrangement can further improve the reliability of the insertion between the trim strip connector 2 and the trim body, and can also limit the displacement of the trim strip connector 2 in the width direction of the trim strip 1.

[0064] Still combined Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a fourth groove plate 14 may be provided on the main body of the trim strip. The fourth groove plate 14 extends along the length direction of the trim strip 1, and a third slot 30 is formed between the fourth groove plate 14 and the second groove plate 12. The third slot 30 and the second slot 20 are respectively located on both sides of the first slot 10. Moreover, corresponding to the third slot 30, the trim strip connector 2 is also provided with a second insertion arm 23, which is inserted into the third slot 30. This can further improve the reliability of the insertion between the trim strip connector 2 and the trim strip main body, and can also further limit the displacement of the trim strip connector 2 in the width direction of the trim strip 1.

[0065] Furthermore, by setting the snap-fit ​​part 200 and the snap-fit ​​mating part 100, and setting the first edge part 112 on the first slot 10, and then combining the set second slot 20 and third slot 30, the trim strip connector 2 can be better constrained in the three directions of the length direction, thickness direction and width direction of the trim strip 1, so as to better ensure the positional accuracy of the trim strip connector 2, and thus help to ensure the consistency of gap and surface difference after the trim strip 1 is assembled.

[0066] Continue to combine Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, for example, a second retaining edge portion 113 may also be provided on the first groove plate 11, and each second retaining edge portion 113 can limit the first insert arm 22 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1. For example, a third retaining edge portion 114 may also be provided on the second groove plate 12, and each third retaining edge portion 114 can limit the second insert arm 23 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1.

[0067] In this way, by using the second edge portion 113 provided on the first slot plate 11, the first insertion arm 22 can be limited in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1, preventing the first insertion arm 22 from shifting in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1, and improving the reliability of the connection between the trim connector 2 and the decorative strip 1. Moreover, by using the third edge portion 114 provided on the second slot plate 12, the second insertion arm 23 can be limited in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1, preventing the second insertion arm 23 from shifting in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1, and improving the reliability of the connection between the trim connector 2 and the decorative strip 1. Furthermore, the cooperation between the second edge portion 113 and the third edge portion can prevent the first insertion arm 22 and the second insertion arm 23 from shifting in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1, further improving the reliability of the connection between the trim connector 2 and the decorative strip 1, as well as the position accuracy of the trim connector 2.

[0068] It should be noted here that the second edge portion 113 can be provided only on the first slot plate 11, the third edge portion 114 can be provided only on the second slot plate 12, or the second edge portion 113 can be provided on the first slot plate 11 while the third edge portion 114 is also provided on the second slot plate 12, and all these are feasible.

[0069] Looking back Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, for example, one end of the first slot plate 11 and the second slot plate 12 close to the butt joint position of the two decorative strips 1 are aligned. This facilitates the preparation and molding of the decorative strip 1 and is also conducive to the design and preparation of the trim connector 2.

[0070] In addition, in some exemplary embodiments, for example, in the length direction of the decorative strip 1, the strip body may have an extension portion extending outside the first slot plate 11. That is, the butt joint end face of the strip body protrudes relative to the end face of the first slot plate 11. Such a design can better shield the trim connector 2 after the two decorative strips 1 are butt-joint connected, thereby improving the overall appearance delicacy of the vehicle body decorative strip 1.

[0071] At this time, corresponding to the first slot 10, the second slot 20, and the third slot 30 on the decorative strip 1, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the trim connector 2, for example, has an overall structure in the shape of a "king" character. It has an intermediate portion 21 inserted into the first slot 10, as well as two first insertion arms 22 and two second insertion arms 23. Among them, the two first insertion arms 22 are respectively inserted into the second slots 20 at both ends, and the two second insertion arms 23 are respectively inserted into the third slots 30 at both ends. And the first insertion arms 22 and the second insertion arms 23 are respectively connected to the middle of the intermediate portion 21 through connecting arms 24.

[0072] It can be understood that for the first slot 10, the second slot 20, and the third slot 30 on the corresponding decorative strip 1, in addition to the overall structure of the decorative strip connector 2 being in a "king" character structure, it can also adopt the following structures. For example, it has an intermediate part 21 inserted into the first slot 10, and a first insertion arm 22 and a second insertion arm 23 connected to the intermediate part 21, where the first insertion arm 22 and the second insertion arm 23. It can also have an intermediate part 21 inserted into the first insertion slot, and a first insertion arm 22 and two second insertion arms 23 connected to the intermediate part 21, or two first insertion arms 22 and a second insertion arm 23 connected to the intermediate part 21. Such a setting is also acceptable.

[0073] In addition, it can also be understood that the structures of the first insertion arm 22 and the second insertion arm 23 on the decorative strip connector 2 can be the same or different. Besides being in a relatively regular long strip structure as shown in Figure 5 For example, taking the first insertion arm 22 as an example, the first insertion arm 22 has a main arm body connected to the intermediate part 21, and a clamping flange formed on the main arm body. The two clamping flanges are arranged oppositely, and a deformation space is formed between the two clamping flanges. When the first insertion arm 22 is inserted into the second slot 20, the two clamping flanges can be elastically compressed towards each other and respectively clamped on the first slot plate 11 and the third slot plate 13. At this time, in this structural form, while the main arm body is installed along the guiding of the second slot 20, the two clamping flanges are respectively clamped and matched with the first slot plate 11 and the third slot plate 13, which can also improve the reliability of the insertion of the first insertion arm 22 into the second slot 20.

[0074] Of course, the second insertion arm 23 can also adopt the above structure, that is, it has a main arm body and two clamping flanges connected to the main arm body, and a deformation space is formed between the two clamping flanges. When the second insertion arm 23 is inserted into the third slot 30, the two clamping flanges can also be compressed towards each other and respectively clamped on the second slot plate 12 and the fourth slot plate 14. In this way, while the main arm body is installed along the guiding of the third slot 30, the two clamping flanges are respectively clamped and matched with the second slot plate 12 and the fourth slot plate 14, which can also improve the reliability of the insertion of the second insertion arm 23 into the third insertion slot 30.

[0075] To enable the smooth deformation of the clamping part 200, in combination with Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, for example, a groove 25 is provided on the trim connector 2, and when the snap-fit ​​portion 200 elastically deforms, at least a portion of the snap-fit ​​portion 200 is embedded in the groove 25. In this case, the groove 25 provided on the trim connector 2 can provide deformation space for the elastic deformation of the snap-fit ​​portion 200, facilitating the smooth deformation of the snap-fit ​​portion 200 when the trim connector 2 is inserted into the decorative strip 1, thereby facilitating the smooth insertion of the trim connector 2.

[0076] In specific implementation, the snap-fit ​​part 200, that is, the protrusion, is formed on the trim connector 2 at one end, and the other end is located above the recess 25, that is, the other end of the snap-fit ​​part 200 is suspended. When the trim connector 2 is inserted into the first slot 10, the suspended end of the protrusion is squeezed and deformed due to the restriction of the groove wall of the first slot 10. When the trim connector 2 is inserted into the preset position, that is, the protrusion reaches the snap-fit ​​hole, the protrusion arrangement is reset due to the restriction of the groove wall, and the suspended end of the protrusion is snapped on the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0077] Still combined Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a guide structure may be provided on the snap-fit ​​portion 200, which guides the trim connector 2 into the first slot 10. This guide structure facilitates the assembly of the trim connector 2 with the decorative strip 1.

[0078] In terms of specific structure, the aforementioned guide structure can be, for example, an inclined arc surface formed on the protrusion. In this case, the inclined arc surface guides the trim connector 2 into the first slot 10, which can also reduce the friction during the insertion process, making the insertion operation of the trim connector 2 easy and effortless.

[0079] It should be noted that by setting the relative position between the snap-fit ​​part 200 on the trim connector 2 and the corresponding snap-fit ​​part 100 on the trim strip 1, zero-gap or fixed-gap fit between the two trim strips 1 can be achieved, with good structural stability and high assembly consistency, thereby enhancing the car body's refined feel.

[0080] It is worth noting that, regarding the vehicle body trim strip 1 in this embodiment, based on the above exemplary embodiments, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still made by... Figures 1 to 6As shown, it includes two decorative strips 1 and a decorative strip connector 2 that connects the two decorative strips 1 together. Each decorative strip 1 is provided with a first slot 10, and the slot wall of each first slot 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 100. The two ends of the decorative strip connector 2 are provided with snap-fit ​​parts 200. When the decorative strip connector 2 is inserted into the corresponding first slot 10, the snap-fit ​​part 200 can press against the slot wall and elastically deform. When the decorative strip connector 2 is inserted to a preset position, the snap-fit ​​part 200 resets and snaps into the snap-fit ​​part 100, thus preventing the misaligned connector from detaching from the decorative strip 1 in the insertion direction.

[0081] Each decorative strip 1 includes a strip body and a first groove plate 11 and a second groove plate 12 disposed on one side of the strip body. Both the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 extend along the length of the strip body. Furthermore, both the first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 include a connecting portion 111 and a first edge portion 112. The connecting portion 111 and the first edge portion 112 are integrally formed. The end of the connecting portion 111 away from the first edge portion 112 is connected to the strip body. The two first edge portions 112 can limit the strip connector 2 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1. The snap-fit ​​portion 200 is specifically disposed on the two first edge portions 112.

[0082] The main body of the trim strip also has a third groove plate 13, which extends along the length of the trim strip 1. A second slot 20 is formed between the third groove plate 13 and the first groove plate 11, and the second slot 20 is located on one side of the first slot 10. The main body of the trim strip also has a fourth groove plate 14, which extends along the length of the trim strip 1. A third slot 30 is formed between the fourth groove plate 14 and the second groove plate 12. The third slot 30 and the second slot 20 are respectively located on both sides of the first slot 10. Correspondingly, the trim strip connector 2 has a first insertion arm 22 and a second insertion arm 23, which are respectively inserted into the second slot 20 and the third slot 30.

[0083] The first groove plate 11 is also provided with a second baffle portion 113, each of the second baffle portions 113 can limit the first plug arm 22 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1. Furthermore, the second groove plate 12 is also provided with a third baffle portion 114, each of the third baffle portions 114 can limit the second plug arm 23 in the thickness direction of the decorative strip 1.

[0084] The first groove plate 11 and the second groove plate 12 are aligned at one end near the abutment position of the two decorative strips 1. Furthermore, in the length direction of the decorative strip 1, the main body of the strip has an extension portion extending to the outside of the first groove plate 11.

[0085] The trim connector 2 is also provided with a recess 25, and when the snap-fit ​​part 200 elastically deforms, at least a portion of the snap-fit ​​part 200 is embedded in the recess 25. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​part 200 is provided with a guide structure, which can guide the trim connector 2 to be inserted into the first slot 10.

[0086] In the above preferred embodiments, the specific settings and arrangements of the structure of the first slot 10, the second slot 20, the third slot 30, and the trim connector 2, as well as the snap-fit ​​portion 200 structure on the trim connector 2, can still be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the beneficial effects brought about by the design of the structure of the first slot 10, the second slot 20, the third slot 30, and the trim connector 2, as well as the snap-fit ​​portion 200 structure on the trim connector 2, can also be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments.

[0087] The body trim strip 1 in this embodiment adopts the above design. Through the trim strip connector 2 and the snap-fit ​​part 200 on the trim strip connector 2 that can be elastically deformed and the snap-fit ​​mating part 100 on the trim strip 1, it is connected to the trim strip 1. Compared with the integrated trim strip 1 structure in related technologies, it is not only easier to process and prepare the trim strip 1, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and later maintenance costs, and is easier to assemble, but also the use of the trim strip connector 2 to connect two trim strips 1 together can form a hidden snap-fit ​​connection structure, which ensures the overall structural stability of the body trim strip 1 and also helps to ensure the assembly consistency of the body trim strip 1, thereby improving the refinement of the body.
