[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a car tailgate trim panel, including an inner panel 1 and an outer panel 2 covering the outside of the inner panel 1. Since painted parts have lower corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and hardness than electroplated parts, and painted parts have poor gloss durability and are prone to fading and loss of gloss after long-term use, while electroplated parts have a metallic texture, high gloss and long-lasting gloss, the outer panel 2 is preferably an electroplated part.

[0031] The inner panel 1 is provided with multiple mounting points 11 for connection with the vehicle body. A reinforcing structure 12 is connected between adjacent mounting points 11 to strengthen the connection between the mounting points 11 and enhance the fastening force between the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2. For reference, the reinforcing structure 12 can be a hollow boss protruding towards the inside of the inner panel 1, and the mounting points 11 are set on the hollow boss.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment of the utility model, there are three mounting points 11, which are arranged in a triangular pattern. This makes the reinforcing structure 12 connecting the mounting points 11 arranged in a herringbone shape, resulting in a wider radiation area and effectively improving the stability of the tailgate trim panel when mounted on the vehicle.

[0033] One edge of the outer panel 2 is folded inward in the width direction to form a slot 21, and one edge of the inner panel 1 in the width direction is correspondingly formed with a plug-in portion 13 for insertion and mating with the slot 21. To improve the strength of the plug-in portion 13, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 may be provided at intervals along the length direction of the plug-in portion 13 on the inner and / or outer sides.

[0034] A connector 22 is provided on the other side of the outer plate 2 in the width direction, and a connecting part 15 for connecting to the connector 22 is correspondingly provided on the other side of the inner plate 1 in the width direction. The connecting part 15 is fastened to the connector 22 by a screw. Specifically, the screw in this embodiment includes a self-tapping screw 3 and a U-shaped spring nut 4. The U-shaped spring nut 4 is installed on the connector 22, and the self-tapping screw 3 passes through the connecting part 15 and the corresponding connecting hole on the connector 22 and is threadedly connected to the U-shaped spring nut 4.

[0035] Meanwhile, the outer panel 2 and the inner panel 1 are also bonded and fixed together with double-sided adhesive tape 5. The inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2 are connected by a combination of plug-in, adhesive and screw fastening, which allows the tailgate trim panel to be well fixed to the body and there are no problems such as peeling off the exterior.

[0036] Furthermore, to facilitate positioning, multiple positioning grooves 16 can be provided at intervals on the inner plate 1, and multiple positioning protrusions 23 can be provided on the outer plate 2 to cooperate with the positioning grooves 16 for positioning.

[0037] Alternatively, slots 17 can be opened at both ends of the inner plate 1 along its length, and corresponding feet 24 can be provided at both ends of the outer plate 2 along its length to engage with the slots 17.

[0038] During assembly, first, apply double-sided tape 5 to the inner side of the outer panel 2; then, tilt the inner panel 1 at a certain angle to one side in the width direction, insert the plug part 13 on one side of the inner panel 1 into the slot 21 of the outer panel 2; after rotating the inner panel 1 to make the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2 fully engage, then fasten the connecting part 15 on the other side of the inner panel 1 to the corresponding connecting part 22 on the outer panel 2 with screws.

[0039] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the technical solutions and core ideas of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
