Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle trim panel installation, and in particular relates to a vehicle tailgate side trim component and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle styling is becoming increasingly diversified, with some areas featuring novel designs. As a result, trim panels are needed to conceal the vehicle's interior structure.

[0003] In related technologies, on the tailgate side of the vehicle's side panel facing the tailgate, a floating plate fixed to the side panel typically supports the interior and exterior trim panels, causing corresponding positions on the side panel to be covered by the interior and exterior trim panels. Because existing interior trim panels only have mounting points between them and the floating plate along the vehicle's length, when the vehicle is moving and vibrating, the side of the interior trim panel facing the exterior trim panel is prone to wobbling due to insufficient fit with the floating plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a vehicle tailgate side trim component and a vehicle for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] A vehicle tailgate side trim assembly, the vehicle tailgate side trim assembly comprising:

[0006] A floating panel is used to fix the rear door side panel to the side sheet metal.

[0007] The interior panel is attached to the suspension plate, and the interior panel is connected and limited to the suspension plate in the X direction of the vehicle;

[0008] The interior panel is provided with an abutting part, and the suspension plate is provided with an abutting mating part. When the interior panel is fixed to the suspension plate, the abutting part and the abutting mating part abut and limit the position, so that the interior panel abuts and limits the position of the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction.

[0009] Understandably, in addition to being connected and fixed to the suspension plate in the length direction of the vehicle, the interior panel also abuts and limits contact with the suspension plate in the width direction of the vehicle. This gives the interior panel two mounting points in two directions on the suspension plate, which can improve the stability of the interior panel on the suspension plate and prevent the interior panel from shaking due to vehicle vibration.

[0010] In one embodiment, the abutting portion is configured as a snap-fit ​​portion formed on the interior panel, and the abutting mating portion is configured as a snap-fit ​​mating portion formed on the suspension plate, wherein the snap-fit ​​mating portion can snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0011] It is understandable that the snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​mating part is used to achieve the abutment limit between the interior panel and the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction. This ensures that when the interior panel is assembled on the suspension plate, the abutment limit between the interior panel and the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction is met, and the abutment limit between the interior panel and the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction will not affect the assembly of the interior panel on the suspension plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion is configured as a guide rib protruding from the interior panel, and the snap-fit ​​mating portion is configured as an opening groove opened on the suspension plate;

[0013] The guide rib can be inserted into the opening slot and snapped into the suspension plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the guide rib includes a connecting protrusion, an insertion portion, and a limiting portion. The insertion portion is disposed between the connecting protrusion and the limiting portion, and the insertion portion can be inserted into the opening groove.

[0015] When the plug-in part is plugged into the opening slot, the connecting protrusion and the limiting part respectively abut against and limit the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the vehicle tailgate side trim assembly further includes an exterior trim panel connected to the suspension panel, and the exterior trim panel cooperates with the interior trim panel to cover the tailgate side of the side panel sheet metal.

[0017] The snap-fit ​​portion is located on the outer side wall of the interior trim panel facing the exterior trim panel.

[0018] In one embodiment, a side baffle is provided on the suspension plate, and the outer trim panel is attached to the side baffle and connected and limited by the side baffle;

[0019] The snap-fit ​​part is disposed on the side baffle.

[0020] It is understandable that the snap-fit ​​part is set on the side baffle of the suspension plate for connection and positioning with the exterior trim panel. That is, the snap-fit ​​part is set on the existing side baffle of the suspension plate. This makes it easier to process and manufacture the snap-fit ​​part on the suspension plate, which simplifies the structure of the suspension plate.

[0021] In one embodiment, the side baffle is configured as a bent plate structure.

[0022] It is understandable that by utilizing the bending structure of the side panel, the structural strength of the side panel can be improved to meet the usage requirements of connecting the side panel with the exterior trim panel and the side panel and the snap-fit ​​part abutting and limiting in the vehicle width direction.

[0023] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib is connected between the side baffle and the suspension plate.

[0024] It is understandable that reinforcing ribs are connected between the side baffle and the suspension plate, which can further improve the structural strength of the side baffle.

[0025] In one embodiment, the number of the snap-fit ​​portions is configured to be multiple, and the multiple snap-fit ​​portions are arranged sequentially at intervals along the extension direction of the outer side wall.

[0026] Understandably, setting the number of snap-fit ​​parts to multiple sequentially spaced along the extension direction of the outer side wall allows the interior panel and the suspension panel to have multiple mounting points in the vehicle width direction, which can further improve the stability of the interior panel when mounted on the suspension panel.

[0027] This application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle tailgate side trim assembly.

[0028] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0029] The vehicle tailgate side trim assembly and vehicle claimed in this application, in addition to the interior panel being connected and fixed to the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction, the interior panel also abuts and limits the suspension plate in the vehicle width direction, so that the interior panel has two mounting points in the suspension plate, which can improve the stability of the interior panel on the suspension plate and prevent the interior panel from shaking due to vehicle vibration.

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the vehicle tailgate side trim assembly 100 provided in this application includes a suspension plate 10 and an interior trim panel 20. The suspension plate 10 is used to fix to the tailgate side 201 of the side panel 200. The interior trim panel 20 abuts against the suspension plate 10, and the interior trim panel 20 is connected and limited to the suspension plate in the vehicle length direction X, which is used to fix the interior trim panel 20 to the suspension plate 10. The interior trim panel 20 is provided with an abutting part, and the suspension plate 10 is provided with an abutting mating part. When the interior trim panel 20 is fixed to the suspension plate 10, the interior trim panel 20 abuts and is limited to the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. Here, the tailgate side of the side panel 200 specifically refers to the side of the side panel 200 facing the vehicle tailgate (not shown). At this time, the interior trim panel 20 can be used as the bottom of the drainage channel on the side of the vehicle tailgate.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, in addition to being connected and fixed to the suspension plate 10 in the X direction of the vehicle, the interior panel 20 of this application also abuts and limits the suspension plate 10 in the Y direction of the vehicle width, so that the interior panel 20 has two mounting points in the suspension plate 10, which can improve the stability of the interior panel 20 on the suspension plate 10 and prevent the interior panel 20 from shaking on the suspension plate 10 due to vehicle vibration.

[0040] It should be noted that the connection method between the floating plate 10 and the tailgate side 201 of the side panel 200, and the connection method between the interior panel 20 and the floating plate 10 during connection and limiting can all adopt the conventional methods of existing vehicles. Since they are not the focus of this application, they will not be elaborated here.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the abutting portion is configured as a snap-fit ​​portion 21 formed on the interior panel 20, and the abutting mating portion is configured as a snap-fit ​​mating portion 11 formed on the suspension plate 10. The snap-fit ​​mating portion 11 can snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​portion 21 to limit the abutment between the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. That is, in this embodiment, the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 are limited to abutment in the vehicle width direction Y by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. This ensures that when the interior panel 20 is assembled on the suspension plate 10, the abutment limitation between the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y is satisfied, and the abutment limitation between the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y will not affect the assembly of the interior panel 20 on the suspension plate 10.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is configured as a guide rib 211 protruding from the interior trim panel 20, and the snap-fit ​​mating portion 11 is configured as an opening slot 111 formed on the suspension plate 10. Furthermore, when the interior trim panel 20 is assembled on the suspension plate 10, the guide rib 211 can be inserted into the opening slot 111, thus snapping the guide rib 211 onto the suspension plate 10. It is understood that in other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion can also be configured as an opening slot formed on the interior trim panel 20, and the snap-fit ​​mating portion can be configured as a guide rib protruding from the suspension plate 10; however, this will not be elaborated upon here.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide rib 211 includes a connecting protrusion 2111, an insertion portion 2112, and a limiting portion 2113. The insertion portion 2112 is disposed between the connecting protrusion 2111 and the limiting portion 2113, and the insertion portion 2112 can be inserted into the opening groove 111. When the insertion portion 2112 is inserted into the opening groove 111, the connecting protrusion 2111 and the limiting portion 2113 respectively abut against and limit the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. That is, in this embodiment, the guide rib 211 utilizes the positional interference between the connecting protrusion 2111, the limiting portion 2113, and the suspension plate 10 to achieve the abutment and limiting of the guide rib 211 against the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y, thereby achieving the abutment and limiting of the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. Here, the guide rib 211 is integrated with the interior panel 20, so that the interior panel 20 can be manufactured by integral injection molding, which facilitates the production of the interior panel 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, the vehicle tailgate side trim assembly 100 further includes an exterior trim panel (not shown), which is connected to the suspension plate 10. The exterior trim panel cooperates with the interior trim panel 20 to cover the tailgate side 201 of the side panel 200. That is, the suspension plate 10 supports the interior trim panel 20 and the exterior trim panel. When the vehicle tailgate side trim assembly 100 is installed in a vehicle, the interior trim panel 20 and the exterior trim panel can be used to cover the tailgate side 201 of the side panel 200 to prevent it from being exposed. It should be noted that the specific structure of the exterior trim panel and the connection method with the suspension plate 10 can adopt conventional methods used in existing vehicles. Since this is not the focus of this application, it will not be elaborated upon here.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided on the outer side wall 22 of the interior trim panel 20 facing the exterior trim panel. Here, the outer side wall 22 of the interior trim panel 20 protrudes towards the exterior trim panel and forms a guide rib 211.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, multiple snap-fit ​​portions 21 are configured, arranged sequentially and at intervals along the extension direction of the outer side wall 22, so that the interior panel 20 and the suspension plate 10 have multiple mounting points in the vehicle width direction Y, which can further improve the stability of the interior panel 20 on the suspension plate 10. Here, four snap-fit ​​portions 21 are configured, and correspondingly, four snap-fit ​​mating portions 11 are also configured on the suspension plate 10. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​portions 21 may also be two, three, five, or even more, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a side baffle 12 is provided on the suspension plate 10. The outer trim panel abuts against the side baffle 12 and is connected and limited by the side baffle 12. A snap-fit ​​part 11 is provided on the side baffle 12. That is, the snap-fit ​​part 11 is provided on the side baffle 12 on the suspension plate 10 for connection and limitation with the outer trim panel; that is, the snap-fit ​​part 11 is provided on the existing side baffle 12 of the suspension plate 10. This facilitates the fabrication of the snap-fit ​​part 11 on the suspension plate 10. Specifically, it is fabricated by adding an opening groove 111 to the side baffle 12, which simplifies the structure of the suspension plate 10. Here, the side baffle 12 has a snap-fit ​​hole 121, and the side baffle 12 can be snap-fitted with the corresponding buckle on the outer trim panel through the snap-fit ​​hole 121. Furthermore, the mounting point between the side baffle 12 and the outer trim panel only occupies a portion of the mounting point between the outer trim panel and the suspension plate 10.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the side panel 12 is configured as a bent plate structure. This bending structure improves the structural strength of the side panel 12, meeting the requirements for connection between the side panel 12 and the exterior trim panel, and for the side panel 12 and the snap-fit ​​portion 21 to abut and limit contact in the vehicle width direction Y. Here, the side panel 12 has sequentially spaced protrusions and recesses.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 13 connects the side baffle 12 and the suspension plate 10. The reinforcing rib 13 connects the side baffle 12 and the suspension plate 10, so that the reinforcing rib 13 can support the assembly of the side baffle 12 on the suspension plate 10, thereby further improving the structural strength of the side baffle 12. Here, along the extending direction of the side baffle 12, reinforcing ribs 13 are arranged sequentially at intervals on both sides of the side baffle 12, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 13 located on both sides of the side baffle 12 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the side baffle 12.

[0050] In addition, this application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle tailgate side trim assembly 100.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
