Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of installing electronic components on vehicle body sheet metal, and in particular to an installation component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some automotive electronic components are fixed to the vehicle's sheet metal using a snap-fit ​​method. This involves integrating a one-piece molded clip onto the mounting plate of the electronic component, and the assembly is achieved through the snap-fit ​​between the clip and the sheet metal. However, this design, due to the need to meet the matching requirements of the clip and the sheet metal, often limits the choice of materials for the mounting plate. This prevents the flexible selection of more suitable materials based on the actual needs of the automotive electronic components, potentially affecting overall performance or increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an installation component and vehicle that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A mounting assembly for mounting electronic components to a vehicle body panel; the mounting assembly includes:

[0006] A mounting plate is used to support the electronic components, and the mounting plate has multiple openings.

[0007] The buckle is configured as an integrated structure and is set independently relative to the mounting plate. The buckle includes a snap connector and multiple elastic hooks. The snap connector is used to snap into the body sheet metal. The multiple elastic hooks correspond one-to-one with the multiple openings, and the elastic hooks can pass through the corresponding openings and abut against the mounting plate for limiting.

[0008] The elastic hook has a locking surface, and the elastic hook can be abutted and limited by the locking surface to the mounting plate; the elastic hook protrudes partially at the location of the locking surface and forms an extension protrusion, and when the locking surface passes through the corresponding opening and abuts and limits the mounting plate, the extension protrusion is at least partially disposed in the corresponding opening and abuts and limits the opening wall.

[0009] Understandably, by designing the clip as a structure independent of the mounting plate and using a snap-fit ​​method to achieve a detachable connection between the two, this solution effectively removes the limitations on the choice of mounting plate material, reducing costs while improving the structural strength of the mounting plate. In specific implementation, by setting an extended protrusion on the clip to form an abutment and limiting structure with the opening wall of the mounting plate, the connection stability between the clip and the mounting plate is significantly enhanced, ensuring reliable fixation of electronic components in vehicle vibration environments.

[0010] In one embodiment, the number of elastic hooks is configured to be two, and the two elastic hooks are arranged symmetrically with respect to the buckle.

[0011] In one embodiment, the material of the buckle is configured as polyamide 66 or nylon 6;

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting plate is made of plastic.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting plate has a plurality of guide surfaces, each of which corresponds to a plurality of openings, and the guide surfaces are capable of guiding the corresponding elastic hooks to be inserted into the corresponding openings.

[0014] Understandably, the mounting plate uses a guide surface to guide the insertion of the elastic hook, which facilitates the insertion of the elastic hook into the opening of the mounting plate, thereby facilitating the assembly between the clip and the mounting plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the buckle further includes a limiting baffle that can abut against the mounting plate to limit the insertion depth of the elastic hook when it is inserted into the corresponding opening.

[0016] It is understandable that using a limiting baffle to limit the insertion depth of the elastic hook into the opening can serve as a guide for the insertion of the elastic hook into the opening of the mounting plate, further facilitating the assembly between the buckle and the mounting plate, and ensuring the stability of the assembly between the buckle and the mounting plate.

[0017] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connector includes a snap-fit ​​body and a plurality of barbed blades, the plurality of barbed blades being disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​body, and the plurality of barbed blades being located at different positions in the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body;

[0018] Each of the barbed blades is used to abut and limit contact with the body sheet metal.

[0019] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​connector can limit the movement of the body sheet metal by using barbed blades at different heights, making it suitable for assembly with body sheet metal of different thicknesses, thereby expanding the applicability of the mounting component.

[0020] In one embodiment, the barb blade includes a first barb blade, which is used to abut and limit contact with the body sheet metal;

[0021] In the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body, the snap-fit ​​body is further provided with at least one barb blade below the first barb blade.

[0022] Understandably, the above-mentioned structural design enables the snap-fit ​​connector to play a multiple limiting role on the body sheet metal, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​connector from detaching from the body sheet metal and improving the assembly stability of the snap-fit ​​connector on the body sheet metal.

[0023] In one embodiment, a guide plug is formed on the snap-fit ​​body, the guide plug being disposed below the barb blade in the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body, for guiding the snap-fit ​​body to be inserted into the body sheet metal.

[0024] It is understandable that a guide plug is used to guide the snap-fit ​​body into the body panel, which facilitates the assembly of the snap-fit ​​connector on the body panel.

[0025] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connector is provided with a limiting protrusion, the outer diameter of which gradually increases in the direction away from the elastic snap hook, and the limiting protrusion is used to abut and limit contact with the body sheet metal.

[0026] It is understandable that the limiting protrusion and the body sheet metal are used to limit the insertion depth of the snap-fit ​​connector when it is inserted into the body sheet metal, which can improve the assembly stability between the snap-fit ​​connector and the body sheet metal.

[0027] This application also claims protection for a vehicle, including body panels, electronic components, and the aforementioned mounting components;

[0028] The electronic components are mounted on the mounting plate, and the snap-fit ​​connector engages with the body sheet metal.

[0029] Due to the application of the above solution, this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0030] The mounting components and vehicle for which this application seeks protection utilize a design where the clip is independent of the mounting plate and a snap-fit ​​mechanism enables a detachable connection between the two. This solution effectively removes limitations on the choice of mounting plate material, reducing costs while increasing the structural strength of the mounting plate. In practice, by incorporating an extended protrusion on the clip to form an abutment and limiting structure with the opening wall of the mounting plate, the connection stability between the clip and the mounting plate is significantly enhanced, ensuring reliable fixation of electronic components under vehicle vibration conditions.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0042] The mounting component 100 claimed in this application is used to mount electronic components (not shown) onto a vehicle body sheet 200 to secure the electronic components to the vehicle body sheet 200. Specifically, the vehicle body sheet 200 can be a sheet metal component used in new energy vehicles.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting assembly 100 for which protection is sought in this application includes a mounting plate 10 and a clip 20. The mounting plate 10 is used to support electronic components and has multiple openings 11. The clip 20 is configured as an integral structure and is independently set relative to the mounting plate 10. The clip 20 includes a snap-fit ​​connector 21 and multiple elastic hooks 22. The snap-fit ​​connector 21 is used to snap into the body sheet metal 200. The multiple elastic hooks 22 correspond one-to-one with the multiple openings 11, and the elastic hooks 22 can pass through the corresponding openings 11. The hole 11 abuts against and limits the mounting plate 10; wherein, the elastic hook 22 has a locking surface 221, and the elastic hook 22 can abut against and limit the mounting plate 10 through the locking surface 221; the elastic hook 22 partially protrudes at the location of the locking surface 221 and forms an extension protrusion 222, and when the locking surface 221 passes through the corresponding opening 11 and abuts against and limits the mounting plate 10, the extension protrusion 222 is at least partially disposed in the corresponding opening 11 and abuts against and limits the hole wall of the opening 11.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, by designing the buckle 20 as a structure independent of the mounting plate 10 and using a snap-fit ​​method to achieve a detachable connection between the two, this solution effectively removes the limitations on the material selection of the mounting plate 10, reducing costs while improving the structural strength of the mounting plate 10. In specific implementation, by setting an extension protrusion 222 on the buckle 20 to form an abutment and limiting structure with the hole wall 111 of the opening 11 of the mounting plate 10, the connection stability between the buckle 20 and the mounting plate 10 is significantly enhanced, ensuring reliable fixation of electronic components in vehicle vibration environments.

[0045] It should be noted that when assembling the mounting component 100 of this application, simply align the buckle 20 with the opening 11 of the mounting plate 10 and press it down to achieve the snap-fit ​​fixation between the buckle 20 and the mounting plate 10. When it is necessary to repair or replace the electronic components inside the mounting plate 10, simply press the elastic hook 22 of the buckle 20 inward with two fingers at the same time to make the elastic hook 22 retract towards the middle and disengage from the opening 11, and the mounting plate 10 can be easily removed. The assembly and disassembly process is simple and quick, requires no tools, and is convenient for maintenance operations.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting plate 10 has a plurality of guide surfaces 12, each corresponding to a plurality of openings 11, and the guide surfaces 12 can guide the corresponding elastic hooks 22 to be inserted into the corresponding openings 11. That is, the mounting plate 10 uses the guide surfaces 12 to guide the elastic hooks 22 to be inserted, which facilitates the insertion of the elastic hooks 22 into the openings of the mounting plate 10, thereby facilitating the assembly of the buckle 20 and the mounting plate 10.

[0047] In one embodiment, the snap fastener 20 is made of polyamide 66 or nylon 6; and the mounting plate 10 is made of plastic. That is, the snap fastener 20 is made of polyamide 66 or nylon 61, while the mounting plate 10 is made of plastic, so that the mounting assembly 100 can relax the material restrictions of the mounting plate 10 while ensuring the performance of the snap fastener 20, thereby effectively reducing the overall cost.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 includes a snap-fit ​​body 211 and a plurality of barbed blades 212. The plurality of barbed blades 212 are disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​body 211, and are located at different positions in the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body 211. Each barbed blade 212 is used to abut and limit contact with the body sheet metal 200. That is, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 can limit the body sheet metal 200 by means of the barbed blades 212 at different height positions, so that the snap-fit ​​connector 21 can be used to assemble with body sheet metal 200 of different thicknesses, thereby expanding the adaptability of the mounting assembly 100. Here, the barbed blades 212 are set in four groups. The four groups of barbed blades 212 are respectively set in the front, back, left and right directions of the snap-fit ​​body 211. Multiple barbed blades 212 in each group are arranged in layers along the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body 211. At least three of the barbed blades 212 in the same layer of the four groups of barbed blades 212 are set in different positions along the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body 211.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the barb blade 212 includes a first barb blade 2121, which is used to abut and limit contact with the body sheet metal 200. In the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body 211, at least one barb blade 212 is also provided below the first barb blade 2121. This allows the snap-fit ​​connector 21 to provide multiple limiting functions for the body sheet metal 200, preventing the snap-fit ​​connector 21 from detaching from the body sheet metal 200 and improving the assembly stability of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 on the body sheet metal 200.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a guide plug 213 is formed on the snap-fit ​​body 211. The guide plug 213 is located below the hook blade 212 in the height direction of the snap-fit ​​body 211, and is used to guide the snap-fit ​​body 211 into the body sheet metal 200. That is, the guide plug 213 is used to guide the snap-fit ​​body 211 into the body sheet metal 200, which facilitates the assembly of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 on the body sheet metal 200. Here, the guide plug 213 protrudes below the lowermost hook blade 212 to form a limiting boss 214. When the snap-fit ​​connector 21 is detached from the body sheet metal 200, the hook blade 212 will deform downward. At this time, the limiting boss 214 can abut against the downwardly deformed hook blade 212 to prevent the hook blade 212 from deforming excessively, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​connector 21 from falling out of the body sheet metal 200. This further improves the assembly stability of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 on the body sheet metal 200.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 is provided with a limiting protrusion 215. The outer diameter of the limiting protrusion 215 gradually increases in the direction away from the elastic snap hook 22, and the limiting protrusion 215 is used to abut and limit the contact with the body sheet metal 200. That is, the abutment and limiting between the limiting protrusion 215 and the body sheet metal 200 is used to limit the insertion depth of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 when it is inserted into the body sheet metal 200, which can improve the assembly stability between the snap-fit ​​connector 21 and the body sheet metal 200.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of elastic hooks 22 is configured to be two, and the two elastic hooks 22 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the latch 20. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of elastic hooks 22 may also be configured to be three or four, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the buckle 20 further includes a limiting baffle 23, which abuts against the mounting plate 10 to limit the insertion depth of the elastic hook 22 when it is inserted into the corresponding opening 11. In other words, by using the limiting baffle 23 to limit the insertion depth of the elastic hook 22 into the opening, it serves as a guide for the insertion of the elastic hook 22 into the opening 11 of the mounting plate 10, further facilitating the assembly between the buckle 20 and the mounting plate 10, and ensuring the stability of the assembly between the buckle 20 and the mounting plate 10.

[0054] This application also claims protection for a vehicle (not shown) including a body panel 200, electronic components and the aforementioned mounting assembly 100; the electronic components are mounted on a mounting plate 10, and a snap-fit ​​connector 21 engages with the body panel 200.

[0055] 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.

[0056] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
