[0027] like Figure 1-7 The aluminum-embedded automotive wood trim shown includes a first clip 3 and a second clip 4 made of plastic. Normally, the first clip 3 and the second clip 4 are kept parallel. Several aluminum trim strips 2 are fixedly connected between the first clip 3 and the second clip 4. These aluminum trim strips 2 are equidistantly arranged along the length of the first clip 3 and the second clip 4, providing relative stability, support and restraint to the first clip 3 and the second clip 4.

[0028] A wooden trim panel 1 is fixedly connected between aluminum trim strips 2. The aluminum trim strip 2 includes a wider back panel 202. The front center of the back panel 202 has a narrower rib 201. Normally, both the aluminum trim strip 2 and the wooden trim panel 1 have a certain curvature along their length. The curvature of the two is consistent, which makes the entire automotive wood trim have a softer curvature to create a three-dimensional effect in the interior decoration, and at the same time, it can fit more harmoniously with other trim pieces.

[0029] The rib 201 and the back panel 202 are an integral structure made of aluminum alloy, which combines high strength and lightweight. It should be noted that the two ends of the rib 201 are flush with the two ends of the back panel 202. The back of the left and right sides of the wood veneer 1 is provided with a fitting groove 101, which also runs through the upper and lower ends of the wood veneer 1. The back panel 202 is perfectly embedded in the fitting groove 101 of the wood veneer 1, and the rib 201 is located between two adjacent wood veneer panels 1. In order to ensure the flatness of the inner and outer surfaces of the interior trim, the depth of the fitting groove 101 needs to be the same as the thickness of the back panel 202, and the total thickness of the rib 201 and the back panel 202 needs to be the same as the thickness of the wood veneer 1. The wood veneer 1 is fixedly connected to the aluminum trim 2 by applying curing adhesive in the fitting groove 101. After curing, the adhesive has good stability and firmness.

[0030] The wood trim 1 is also fixedly connected to the first clip 3 and the second clip 4 using a curing adhesive. The first clip 3 includes a first bridging strip 301 fixedly connected to the lower end of all aluminum trim strips 2. The lower surface of the first bridging strip 301 has an insert clip 302. The rear side of the insert clip 302 is flush with the rear side of the first bridging strip 301. A groove structure is formed between the front of the insert clip 302 and the lower surface of the first bridging strip 301, which is suitable for engaging with the bottom wall of the in-vehicle mounting slot. The second clip 4 includes a second bridging strip 401 fixedly connected to the upper end of all aluminum trim strips 2. The rear side of the second bridging strip 401 has a support strip 402. The support strip 402 extends rearward. The upper surface of the support strip 402 has a limiting clip 403. A groove structure is also formed between the front of the limiting clip 403 and the upper surface of the support strip 402, which is used for engaging with the top wall of the in-vehicle mounting slot.

[0031] Working principle: When manufacturing this aluminum-embedded automotive wood trim, first, a wood trim panel 1 and an aluminum trim strip 2 are taken out. The side of the wood trim panel 1 with the groove 101 facing upwards is placed. Curing adhesive is applied to the groove 101 on one side of the wood trim panel 1. Then, the back plate 202 of the aluminum trim strip 2 is pressed into the groove 101 until the rib 201 is pressed firmly against the side of the wood trim panel 1. Next, curing adhesive is applied to the groove 101 on the other side of the wood trim panel 1. Then, the back plate 202 of the other aluminum trim strip 2 is pressed into the groove 101. 1. Continue until the rib 201 is pressed against the opposite side of the wood trim 1. Then flip the spliced ​​part and continue to apply curing adhesive to the uncovered side of the rib 201 and the front of the back panel 202. Continue to install the wood trim 1. Then flip it over and apply curing adhesive to the fitting groove 101 of the wood trim 1. Repeat this process until the last aluminum trim 2 is fixed and the left and right sides are sealed. Finally, use curing adhesive to fix the first clip 3 at the bottom and the second clip 4 at the top to complete the assembly of the entire automotive wood trim.

[0032] During installation, first insert the limiting clip 403 of the second clip 4 into the back of the top wall of the mounting slot inside the vehicle. Then press the lower edge of the interior trim piece to slightly lift the first clip 3 upwards. The insertion clip 302 will pass over the bottom wall of the mounting slot inside the vehicle. The insertion clip 302 moves to the back of the bottom wall of the mounting slot and engages. The aluminum trim strips 2 on the left and right sides of the wooden interior trim piece will automatically fit against the left and right inner walls of the mounting slot inside the vehicle.
