Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle body connector technology, and in particular to a hinged trim structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in some car models, a portion of the hinge mechanism used to connect the doors to the body is often directly exposed on the exterior of the vehicle. On one hand, exposed hinges are easily damaged by impacts and are also susceptible to corrosion from rainwater and dust, affecting their lifespan. On the other hand, exposed hinges disrupt the overall aesthetics of the car body, hindering its refined appearance. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to propose a hinged trim structure that can effectively enhance the refinement of the vehicle body.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] A hinged trim panel structure includes a trim panel body disposed in a vehicle body, and an elastic seal disposed on the trim panel body;

[0006] The trim panel body covers the outside of the hinge fixed end, and the elastic seal includes a sealing body disposed along the edge of the trim panel body, and a skirt extending along the edge of the sealing body toward the inside of the trim panel body.

[0007] With the door closed, at least a portion of the sealing body abuts against the door, and the skirt covers at least a portion of the hinge fixing end.

[0008] Furthermore, the trim panel body is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the movable end of the hinge, and part of the sealing body is located in the clearance groove; the sealing body has a sealing lip provided along the edge of the trim panel body, and the sealing lip abuts against the door and the movable end of the hinge.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing lip protrudes outward from the sealing body, and the sealing lip is curved towards the inside of the vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing body is provided with an insertion groove, and the bottom of the decorative panel body is provided with an insertion protrusion; the insertion groove extends along the edge of the decorative panel body, and the insertion protrusion is inserted into the insertion groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the insertion groove is disposed adjacent to the sealing lip, and one side wall of the insertion groove is formed by the sealing lip.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the sealing lip is bent toward the side closer to the sealing body; and / or, the width of the insertion groove gradually decreases from the bottom of the groove to the opening of the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the sealing body is provided with an adhesive strip, and the sealing body is bonded to the decorative panel body through the adhesive strip.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) The hinge trim structure described in this application, through the setting of the trim body and the elastic seal, allows the trim body and the skirt to form a shield for the hinge fixing end, which can protect the hinge fixing end and effectively improve the refinement of the hinge installation position of the vehicle body. At the same time, through the setting of the elastic seal, the gap between the trim body and the door can be sealed, which not only further improves the refinement of the vehicle body, but also helps to improve the sealing performance of the vehicle body, thereby effectively preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from entering the interior of the vehicle body. This not only avoids corrosion of the hinge fixing end, but also ensures the comfort of the interior environment, thus improving the overall vehicle user experience.

[0016] (2) The clearance groove provides sufficient space for the hinge's moving end, effectively preventing interference between the trim panel and the hinge's moving end during door opening and closing, thus ensuring smooth movement of the hinge's moving end. Simultaneously, the sealing lip seals the gaps between the trim panel and the door, and between the trim panel and the hinge's moving end, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the hinge's moving end and the trim panel, further improving the sealing performance of the hinge location.

[0017] (3) By setting the sealing lip, the contact area between the elastic seal and the moving end of the door and hinge can be increased, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance. At the same time, during the closing process of the door, the arc-shaped sealing lip can use its own elastic deformation to buffer the moving end of the door and hinge. Meanwhile, the sealing lip that bends inward is in the same direction as the door when it is closing, which can reduce the friction between the sealing lip and the door, and ensure that the sealing lip and the door are tightly fitted when the door is closed, which is further conducive to improving the sealing performance.

[0018] (4) By using the interlocking groove and the interlocking protrusion, the sealing body and the trim panel body can be connected by insertion, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the elastic seal on the trim panel body. At the same time, the interlocking groove and the interlocking protrusion can enhance the stability of the connection between the elastic seal and the trim panel body, and can effectively prevent the elastic seal from loosening or shifting.

[0019] (5) By using the adjacent arrangement of the insertion groove and the sealing lip, and by utilizing the sealing lip to form one side wall of the insertion groove, the elastic performance of the sealing lip can be improved, which is conducive to its tight contact with the moving end of the door and the hinge. Moreover, when the insertion protrusion is inserted into the insertion groove, the insertion protrusion can provide support for the sealing lip, so that when the sealing lip abuts against the moving end of the door and the hinge, it can apply sufficient pressure to the moving end of the door and the hinge, further ensuring the sealing performance between the moving end of the door and the hinge and the trim panel body.

[0020] (6) By setting the end of the sealing lip to bend towards the sealing body, and matching the bending end of the sealing lip with the movement path when the door is opened, the friction between the sealing lip and the door can be effectively reduced when the door is opened, preventing the sealing lip from flipping outwards and being damaged, and reducing the sealing effect. In addition, the design of the insertion groove with the width gradually decreasing from the bottom to the opening allows the groove opening to clamp the insertion protrusion after it is inserted into the insertion groove, thereby improving the connection strength between the insertion groove and the insertion protrusion, and thus improving the connection stability of the elastic seal on the trim panel body.

[0021] (7) By setting an adhesive strip on the top of the sealing body, the sealing body is bonded to the trim panel body, which further improves the connection strength between the elastic seal and the trim panel body. In addition, the adhesive strip can fill the gap between the sealing body and the trim panel body, thereby improving the sealing performance between the sealing body and the trim panel body. The structure is simple and easy to design and implement.

[0022] This application also proposes a vehicle having a hinged trim structure as described above.

[0023] Furthermore, the vehicle body sheet metal is provided with a mounting groove, and the hinge fixing end is installed in the mounting groove; the hinge trim structure is located in the mounting groove and is flush with the body sheet metal at the edge of the mounting groove.

[0024] Furthermore, the body sheet metal is provided with a sealing strip along the edge of the mounting groove; the sealing strip abuts against the trim panel body and forms a ring with the sealing body.

[0025] The vehicle described in this application, through the aforementioned hinge trim structure, can conceal the door hinges, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the hinge location and effectively preventing dust, rainwater, and other impurities from corroding the hinge fixing end, ensuring the normal operation of the hinges, and thus improving the overall vehicle user experience.

[0026] In addition, the body sheet metal is provided with mounting slots, which provide a mounting base for the hinge fixing end. At the same time, the mounting slots can accommodate the trim panel body, which can effectively prevent the trim panel body from protruding from the body sheet metal surface, improve the appearance of the body, and prevent wind noise caused by the trim panel body protruding.

[0027] In addition, by installing a sealing strip on the body sheet metal, the sealing strip can form a ring-shaped sealing structure around the trim panel body with the elastic sealant, so as to seal the gap between the trim panel body and the body sheet metal and the door, thereby preventing external impurities from entering under the trim panel body, and thus improving the overall sealing performance of the 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a hinge panel structure.

[0057] In related technologies, the hinge mechanisms of some car models are typically exposed directly on the exterior of the vehicle body to connect the doors to the body. On one hand, exposed hinges are susceptible to damage from impacts and are also vulnerable to corrosion from rainwater and dust, affecting their lifespan. On the other hand, exposed hinges disrupt the overall aesthetics of the vehicle body, hindering its refined appearance. Furthermore, the gap between the body and the door can also contribute to water ingress.

[0058] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the hinge panel structure of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the overall design includes a trim panel body 1 and an elastic sealing element 2 disposed on the trim panel body 1.

[0059] The trim panel body 1 is mounted on the vehicle body and covers the outer side of the hinge fixing end 4. The elastic seal 2 includes a sealing body 201 disposed along the edge of the trim panel body 1 and a skirt 202 extending inward from the edge of the sealing body 201 toward the trim panel body 1. When the door 3 is closed, at least a portion of the sealing body 201 abuts against the door 3, and the skirt 202 covers at least a portion of the hinge fixing end 4.

[0060] Therefore, by setting up the trim panel body 1 and the elastic seal 2, the trim panel body 1 and the skirt 202 can form a shield for the hinge fixing end 4, which can protect the hinge fixing end 4 and effectively improve the refinement of the hinge installation position on the vehicle body. At the same time, the elastic seal 2 can seal the gap between the trim panel body 1 and the door 3, which not only further enhances the refinement of the vehicle body, but also helps to improve the sealing of the vehicle body, thereby effectively preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from entering the interior of the vehicle body. This not only avoids corrosion of the hinge fixing end 4, but also ensures the comfort of the interior environment, thus improving the overall vehicle user experience.

[0061] Based on the above overview, specifically, let's continue to combine... Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the hinge movable end 5 is hinged to the hinge fixed end 4, and the other end forms a connecting structure 501 for connecting with the sheet metal of the door 3. The sheet metal of the door 3 extends inward to the inside of the vehicle and abuts against the connecting structure 501. The two opposite ends of the connecting structure 501 are provided with through holes for inserting connecting parts such as bolts and rivets. The connecting part of the sheet metal of the door 3 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the through holes. The connecting parts pass through the through holes and are connected to the sheet metal of the door 3, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the movable part with the door 3.

[0062] In addition, combined Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the hinge fixing end 4 includes a fixing seat 401 for connecting to the vehicle body and a hinge end 402 that is hinged to the hinge movable end 5. The fixing seat 401 has connecting ends 4011 at both ends, and the trim panel body 1 has connecting ears 103 corresponding to the connecting ends 4011 on the side facing the hinge fixing end 4. The connecting ends 4011 and the connecting ears 103 can be connected together by connecting parts, thereby realizing the connection and fixing of the trim panel body 1 and the hinge fixing end 4, ensuring the fixing effect of the trim panel body 1, preventing the trim panel body 1 from falling off, and ensuring that the trim panel body 1 can cover the hinge fixing end 4.

[0063] Continue to combine Figure 4 , Figure 6and Figure 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the trim panel body 1 is provided with a clearance groove 101 for accommodating the hinge movable end 5, and a portion of the sealing body 201 is located in the clearance groove 101. The sealing body 201 has a sealing lip 203 disposed along the edge of the trim panel body 1, and the sealing lip 203 abuts against the door 3 and the hinge movable end 5.

[0064] The clearance groove 101 provides sufficient space for the hinge moving end 5, effectively preventing interference between the trim panel body 1 and the hinge moving end 5 during the opening and closing of the door 3, ensuring smooth movement of the hinge moving end 5. Simultaneously, the sealing lip 203 seals the gaps between the trim panel body 1 and the door 3, and between the trim panel body 1 and the hinge moving end 5, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the hinge moving end 5 and the trim panel body 1, further improving the sealing performance at the hinge location.

[0065] In specific implementation, the clearance groove 101 is constructed as a strip-shaped clearance groove 101 extending along the flipping direction of the hinge movable end 5. While avoiding the hinge movable end 5, it can reduce the gap between the two sides of the hinge movable end 5 and the trim body 1, so as to facilitate the sealing of the gap by the sealing lip 203, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0066] Furthermore, the skirt 202 is configured as a "V"-shaped structure extending along the edge of the trim body 1 and the edge of the clearance groove 101, which can cover at least a portion of the fixing seat 401 of the hinge fixing end 4, so that the hinge end 402 can be connected to the hinge moving end 5.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the sealing lip 203 protrudes outward from the sealing body 201, and the sealing lip 203 is curved toward the inward side of the vehicle.

[0068] By setting the sealing lip 203, the contact area between the elastic seal 2 and the door 3 and the hinge moving end 5 can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the sealing performance. At the same time, it can be understood that during the closing process of the door 3, the door 3 rotates around the hinge point between the hinge moving end 5 and the hinge fixed end 4, and the door 3 moves to the closed position of the door 3 in an arc trajectory at the elastic seal 2.

[0069] Therefore, the sealing lip 203 is designed to be arc-shaped. This arc-shaped structure not only utilizes its own elastic deformation to cushion the door 3 and the hinge's moving end 5, but also ensures that the curvature of the arc-shaped sealing lip 203 aligns with the direction of the door 3's movement when closed. This effectively reduces friction between the sealing lip 203 and the door 3, preventing the sealing lip 203 from flipping outwards and being damaged, thus ensuring a tight fit between the sealing lip 203 and the door 3 and further improving sealing performance.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the sealing body 201 is provided with a insertion groove 204, and the bottom of the trim panel body 1 is provided with an insertion protrusion 102. The insertion groove 204 extends along the edge of the trim panel body 1, and the insertion protrusion 102 is inserted into the insertion groove 204.

[0071] The mating arrangement of the insertion groove 204 and the insertion protrusion 102 enables the sealing body 201 to be inserted into the trim panel body 1, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the elastic seal 2 on the trim panel body 1. Simultaneously, the insertion groove 204 and the insertion protrusion 102 enhance the stability of the connection between the elastic seal 2 and the trim panel body 1, effectively preventing the elastic seal 2 from loosening or shifting.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the insertion groove 204 is disposed adjacent to the sealing lip 203, and one sidewall of the insertion groove 204 is formed by the sealing lip 203.

[0073] By arranging the insertion groove 204 adjacent to the sealing lip 203, and utilizing the sealing lip 203 to form one side wall of the insertion groove 204, the elasticity of the sealing lip 203 can be improved, facilitating its tight contact with the door 3 and the hinge moving end 5. Furthermore, when the insertion protrusion 102 is inserted into the insertion groove 204, the insertion protrusion 102 provides support for the sealing lip 203, allowing the sealing lip 203 to apply sufficient pressure to the door 3 and the hinge moving end 5 when they abut against it, further ensuring the sealing performance between the door 3 and the hinge moving end 5 and the trim panel body 1.

[0074] In addition, during the assembly of the elastic seal 2, since the sealing lip 203 is set as a side wall, the insertion groove 204 can be closer to the sealing lip 203. The sealing lip 203 can be used as a positioning base to realize the quick positioning of the insertion protrusion 102 and the insertion groove 204, which further facilitates the assembly operation of the elastic seal 2 on the trim panel body 1.

[0075] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in some of the exemplary embodiments, the end of the sealing lip 203 is bent toward the side closer to the sealing body 201.

[0076] It is understandable that during the opening of the door 3, the door 3 rotates around the hinge point between the hinge movable end 5 and the hinge fixed end 4, and the door 3 moves to the open position by rotating outward in an arc trajectory at the sealing lip 203.

[0077] By setting the end of the sealing lip 203 to bend towards the sealing body 201, and matching the bending end of the sealing lip 203 with the moving path of the door 3 when it is opened, the friction between the sealing lip 203 and the door 3 can be effectively reduced when the door 3 is opened, and the sealing lip 203 is prevented from flipping outwards from the vehicle body and being damaged and the sealing effect reduced.

[0078] Simultaneously combined Figure 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the width of the insertion groove 204 can be configured to gradually decrease from the bottom to the opening. That is, the width L1 of the bottom is greater than the width L2 of the opening. By setting the insertion groove 204 to gradually decrease in width from the bottom to the opening, after the insertion protrusion 102 is inserted into the insertion groove 204, the opening of the insertion groove 204 can tighten around the insertion protrusion 102, thereby improving the connection strength between the insertion groove 204 and the insertion protrusion 102, and thus improving the connection stability of the elastic seal 2 on the trim panel body 1.

[0079] In practical implementation, the insertion groove 204 extends outward from one side wall formed by the sealing lip 203 to abut against the insertion protrusion 102, such that the width of this side wall and the other side wall of the insertion groove 204 at the opening of the insertion groove 204 is relatively small. This allows the abutment protrusion to provide support for the sealing lip 203, preventing the sealing lip 203 from flipping towards the trim panel body 1, ensuring the sealing lip 203's abutment effect on the door 3, and thus ensuring sealing performance.

[0080] Combination Figure 10 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the top of the sealing body 201 is provided with an adhesive strip 2012, and the sealing body 201 is bonded to the decorative panel body 1 by the adhesive strip 2012.

[0081] By providing an adhesive strip 2012 on the top of the sealing body 201, the sealing body 201 is bonded to the trim panel body 1, further improving the connection strength between the elastic sealant 2 and the trim panel body. Furthermore, the adhesive strip 2012 can fill the gap between the sealing body 201 and the trim panel body 1, thereby improving the sealing performance between them. The structure is simple and easy to design and implement.

[0082] It is worth noting that, regarding the hinge panel structure of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still shown in the figure.

[0083] The hinged trim structure of this embodiment includes a trim body 1 disposed in the vehicle body, and an elastic sealing member 2 disposed on the trim body 1.

[0084] The trim panel body 1 covers the outside of the hinge fixing end 4. The elastic seal 2 includes a sealing body 201 disposed along the edge of the trim panel body 1, and a skirt 202 extending inward from the edge of the sealing body 201 toward the trim panel body 1. When the door 3 is closed, at least a portion of the sealing body 201 abuts against the door 3, and the skirt 202 covers at least a portion of the hinge fixing end 4.

[0085] Specifically, one end of the hinge movable end 5 is hinged to the hinge fixed end 4, and the other end forms a connecting structure 501 for connecting with the sheet metal of the door 3. The sheet metal of the door 3 extends inward to the inside of the vehicle and abuts against the connecting structure 501. The two opposite ends of the connecting structure 501 are provided with through holes for connecting parts such as bolts and rivets to pass through. The connecting part of the sheet metal of the door 3 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the through holes. The connecting parts pass through the through holes and are connected to the sheet metal of the door 3, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the movable part with the door 3.

[0086] Furthermore, the hinge fixing end 4 includes a fixing seat 401 for connecting to the vehicle body and a hinge end 402 that is hinged to the hinge movable end 5. The fixing seat 401 has connecting ends 4011 at both ends, and the trim panel body 1 has connecting ears 103 corresponding to the connecting ends 4011 on the side facing the hinge fixing end 4. The connecting ends 4011 and the connecting ears 103 can be connected together through connectors, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the trim panel body 1 and the hinge fixing end 4, ensuring the fixing effect of the trim panel body 1, preventing the trim panel body 1 from detaching, and ensuring that the trim panel body 1 can cover the hinge fixing end 4.

[0087] Furthermore, the trim panel body 1 is provided with a clearance groove 101 for avoiding the hinge moving end 5, and part of the sealing body 201 is located in the clearance groove 101. The sealing body 201 has a sealing lip 203 provided along the edge of the trim panel body 1, and the sealing lip 203 abuts against the door 3 and the hinge moving end 5. During the opening and closing of the door 3, interference between the trim panel body 1 and the hinge moving end 5 can be effectively avoided, ensuring the smooth movement of the hinge moving end 5. At the same time, the sealing lip 203 can seal the gaps between the trim panel body 1 and the door 3, and between the trim panel body 1 and the hinge moving end 5, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the vehicle body through the gap between the hinge moving end 5 and the trim panel body 1, further improving the sealing performance at the hinge location.

[0088] It is worth mentioning that the skirt edge 202 is constructed as a "V"-shaped structure extending along the edge of the trim panel body 1 and the edge of the clearance groove 101, which can cover at least a portion of the fixing seat 401 of the hinge fixing end 4, allowing the hinge end 402 to connect with the hinge moving end 5. The clearance groove 101 is constructed as a strip-shaped clearance groove 101 extending along the flipping direction of the hinge moving end 5, which can reduce the gap between the two sides of the hinge moving end 5 and the trim panel body 1 while avoiding the hinge moving end 5, so as to facilitate the sealing of the gap by the sealing lip edge 203, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0089] In addition, the sealing lip 203 protrudes outward from the sealing body 201. The sealing lip 203 is arc-shaped and bends towards the inside of the vehicle, and the end of the sealing lip 203 bends towards the side closer to the sealing body 201. This can effectively reduce the friction between the sealing lip 203 and the door 3 when the door 3 is opened or closed, and prevent the sealing lip 203 from flipping outward from the vehicle body and being damaged and reducing the sealing effect.

[0090] Furthermore, the sealing body 201 is provided with an insertion groove 204, and the bottom of the trim panel body 1 is provided with an insertion protrusion 102. The insertion groove 204 extends along the edge of the trim panel body 1, and the insertion protrusion 102 is inserted into the insertion groove 204. The insertion groove 204 is adjacent to the sealing lip 203, and one side wall of the insertion groove 204 is formed by the sealing lip 203. The width of the insertion groove 204 gradually decreases from the bottom to the opening. This ensures that after the insertion protrusion 102 is inserted into the insertion groove 204, the opening of the insertion groove 204 can tightly clamp the insertion protrusion 102, thereby improving the connection strength between the insertion groove 204 and the insertion protrusion 102, and thus enhancing the connection stability of the elastic seal 2 on the trim panel body 1.

[0091] Meanwhile, the insertion groove 204 extends outward from one side wall formed by the sealing lip 203 to abut against the insertion protrusion 102. The width of the insertion groove 204 gradually decreases from the bottom to the opening. This allows the abutment protrusion to support the sealing lip 203, preventing it from flipping towards the trim panel body 1, ensuring the sealing lip 203's abutment effect on the door 3, and thus ensuring sealing performance.

[0092] Finally, an adhesive strip 2012 is provided on the top of the sealing body 201, and the sealing body 201 is bonded to the trim panel body 1 through the adhesive strip 2012. This further improves the connection strength between the elastic sealant 2 and the trim panel body. In addition, the adhesive strip 2012 can fill the gap between the sealing body 201 and the trim panel body 1, thereby improving the sealing performance between the sealing body 201 and the trim panel body 1, and the structure is simple and easy to design and implement.

[0093] The hinge trim structure of this embodiment adopts the design described above. By setting the trim body 1 and the elastic sealing element 2, the trim body 1 and the skirt 202 can form a shield for the hinge fixing end 4, which can protect the hinge fixing end 4 and effectively improve the refinement of the hinge installation position on the vehicle body. At the same time, the elastic sealing element 2 can seal the gap between the trim body 1 and the door 3, which not only further enhances the refinement of the vehicle body, but also helps to improve the sealing of the vehicle body, thereby effectively preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from entering the interior of the vehicle body. This not only avoids corrosion of the hinge fixing end 4, but also ensures the comfort of the interior environment, thus improving the overall vehicle user experience.

[0094] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, which, in its overall structure, combines... Figure 12 As shown, the vehicle in this embodiment is equipped with the hinge panel structure described above.

[0095] In this embodiment, the vehicle can cover the hinge of the door 3 through the above-mentioned hinge trim structure, thereby enhancing the appearance of the hinge location and effectively preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from corroding the hinge fixing end 4, ensuring the normal operation of the hinge, and thus improving the overall vehicle user experience.

[0096] Based on the above overview, specifically, let's continue to combine... Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the vehicle body sheet 6 has a mounting groove 601, and the hinge fixing end 4 is installed in the mounting groove 601. The hinge trim structure is located in the mounting groove 601 and is flush with the body sheet 6 at the edge of the mounting groove 601.

[0097] By setting the mounting slot 601, the mounting slot 601 provides a mounting base for the hinge fixing end 4. At the same time, the mounting slot 601 can accommodate the trim panel body 1, which can effectively prevent the trim panel body 1 from protruding from the surface of the body sheet metal 6, improve the appearance of the body, and prevent wind noise caused by the protrusion of the trim panel body 1.

[0098] In a specific implementation, the fixing seat 401 of the hinge fixing end 4 in this embodiment is provided with a through hole for connecting members such as bolts and rivets to pass through. The connecting member can pass through the through hole on the fixing seat 401 to install the hinge fixing end 4 at the bottom of the mounting groove 601.

[0099] In some exemplary embodiments, the body panel 6 is provided with a sealing strip 602 disposed along the edge of the mounting groove 601. The sealing strip 602 abuts against the trim panel body 1 and forms a ring with the sealing body 201.

[0100] By setting a sealing strip 602 on the body sheet metal 6, the sealing strip 602 and the elastic sealing element 2 can form an annular sealing structure around the trim panel body 1 to seal the gap between the trim panel body 1 and the body sheet metal 6 and the door 3, so as to prevent external impurities from entering under the trim panel body 1, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the body.

[0101] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 14 As shown, the edge of the mounting groove 601 is provided with a receiving groove 603 for mounting the sealing strip 602. The sealing strip 602 has a fan-shaped cross-section and two abutting portions 6021 that abut against the side wall and bottom wall of the receiving groove 603, as well as an arc-shaped portion 6022 for abutting against the trim panel body 1. The trim panel body 1 can be pressed onto the arc-shaped portion 6022 of the sealing strip 602. By setting the internally hollow sealing strip 602, the sealing strip 602 has good elasticity. At the same time, the setting of the arc-shaped portion 6022 can fully abut against the trim panel body 1, and at the same time, it can facilitate the sealing strip 602 to be tightly abutted against the side wall and bottom wall of the receiving groove 603, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the body sheet metal 6 and the trim panel body 1.

[0102] In addition, since the decorative panel body 1 is pressed onto the sealing strip 602, structural adhesive 6023 is sandwiched between the sealing strip 602 and the bottom of the receiving groove 603 to ensure the sealing effect of the connection between the sealing strip 602 and the mounting groove 601.

[0103] It is worth noting that, regarding the vehicle in this embodiment, based on the above exemplary embodiments, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still... Figures 12 to 14 As shown.

[0104] The vehicle in this embodiment is equipped with the hinge trim structure described above. A mounting groove 601 is provided on the vehicle's body sheet metal 6, and the hinge fixing end 4 is installed within the mounting groove 601. The hinge trim structure is located within the mounting groove 601 and is flush with the edge of the body sheet metal 6 at the mounting groove 601.

[0105] Furthermore, in the hinge panel structure of this embodiment, the fixing seat 401 of the hinge fixing end 4 is provided with a through hole for inserting connectors such as bolts and rivets. The connector can pass through the through hole on the fixing seat 401 to install the hinge fixing end 4 at the bottom of the mounting groove 601.

[0106] Additionally, the body sheet metal 6 is provided with a sealing strip 602 along the edge of the mounting groove 601. The sealing strip 602 abuts against the trim panel body 1 and forms a ring with the sealing body 201. The edge of the mounting groove 601 is provided with a receiving groove 603 for mounting the sealing strip 602. The sealing strip 602 has a fan-shaped cross-section, two fixing portions abutting against the side wall and bottom wall of the receiving groove 603, and an arc-shaped portion 6022 for abutting against the trim panel body 1. The trim panel body 1 can be pressed onto the arc-shaped portion 6022 of the sealing strip 602, and structural adhesive 6023 is sandwiched between the sealing strip 602 and the bottom of the receiving groove 603. By setting an internally hollow sealing strip 602, the sealing strip 602 has good elasticity. At the same time, the arc-shaped part 6022 can fully abut against the trim panel body 1, and can also facilitate the sealing strip 602 to abut tightly against the side wall and bottom wall of the receiving groove 603, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the body sheet metal 6 and the trim panel body 1.

[0107] In this embodiment, the hinge panel structure can cover the hinge of the door 3, thereby enhancing the appearance of the hinge location and effectively preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from corroding the hinge fixing end 4, ensuring the normal operation of the hinge, and thus improving the overall user experience of the vehicle, which has great practicality.
