Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" 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 of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, the front-back direction in this application refers to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, i.e., the X direction; the left-right direction refers to the lateral direction of the vehicle, i.e., the Y direction; and the up-down direction refers to the vertical direction of the vehicle, i.e., the Z direction.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a trim installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a trim assembly 1, a through-light assembly 2, and a front bumper 3. The trim assembly 1 is located between the through-light assembly 2 and the front bumper 3, passing between the left and right headlights 4, and serves a decorative function for the front styling of the vehicle. The front bumper 3 is connected to the front side of the front bumper bracket 5, for example, by means of snap-fit ​​or screws. The trim assembly 1 is connected to the front bumper bracket 5, and the rear side of the front bumper bracket 5 is connected to the front module 6. By connecting the front bumper 3 and the trim assembly 1 to the front bumper bracket 5, the assembly accuracy and stability of the trim assembly 1 and the front bumper 3 can be improved.

[0042] The lower side of the through light assembly 2 is connected to the front bumper bracket 5, and the rear side of the through light assembly 2 is connected to the front module 6. Both the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2 are connected to the front module 6. By connecting the rear side of the through light assembly 2 to the front module 6, and positioning both the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2 to the front module 6, the front module 6 serves as a unified reference. Both the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2 are directly connected to the front module 6. On the one hand, this improves the assembly accuracy and stability of the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2. On the other hand, since both the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2 are directly connected to the front module 6, the connection with the shortest dimensional chain is achieved. This eliminates the problem of increased dimensional chains and tolerance accumulation caused by connecting the trim assembly 1 and the through light assembly 2 through intermediate links. Therefore, in this embodiment, the accumulated tolerance is reduced, the assembly with the shortest dimensional chain is achieved, and the overall vehicle appearance consistency is improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the trim assembly 1 includes a trim body 11, a trim mounting bracket 12, and a first snap-fit ​​part 13. The trim mounting bracket 12 is located behind the trim body 11, and the first snap-fit ​​part 13 is located below the trim body 11. The trim mounting bracket 12 is provided with a first mounting part 121. The trim body 11 is connected to the front bumper bracket 5 through the first snap-fit ​​part 13 and the first mounting part 121.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the trim assembly 1 is long and arc-shaped. The trim mounting bracket 12 has a first mounting portion 121 and a first positioning hole 122. Multiple trim mounting brackets 12 can be spaced apart along the Y-axis or arranged symmetrically. Multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 13 can also be spaced apart along the Y-axis or arranged symmetrically. The first snap-fit ​​portions 13 provide a Z-axis mounting structure for the trim assembly 1. Multiple first mounting portions 121 and multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 13 can further improve the installation stability and accuracy of the trim assembly 1 in the Y-axis. The first positioning hole 122 is higher than the first mounting portion 121 in the Z-axis, providing a positioning point for the trim assembly 1 to be positioned on the front end module 6. The first positioning hole 122 can be a waist-shaped positioning hole, which can improve the installation accuracy of the trim assembly 1 in the X-axis.

[0045] In some examples, to prevent interference between the trim assembly 1 and the front through light assembly 2 and the front bumper 3, in embodiments of this application, gaskets 15 are provided on both the upper and lower end faces of the trim assembly 1, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 As shown, a gasket 15 is provided below the trim assembly 1. The gasket 15 is made of rubber and is used to prevent interference between the trim assembly 1 and the front bumper 3 in the Z direction during installation. See also Figure 4 As shown, a gasket 15 is provided above the trim assembly 1. The material of the gasket 15 is an elastic material, such as rubber, which prevents the trim assembly 1 from interfering with the front through light assembly 2 in the Z direction during installation.

[0046] It is understandable that the upper and lower spacers 15 of the trim assembly 1 can also be in other forms, such as anti-interference pads. See [link to relevant documentation] Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple gaskets 15 are provided on the upper and lower end faces of the trim assembly 1, and the multiple gaskets 15 are spaced apart along the trim assembly 1 in the Y direction. The gaskets 15 can be fixed to the trim assembly 1 by clips or screws.

[0047] In some embodiments, the through-beam light assembly 2 includes a through-beam light body 21, a second mounting portion 22, and a second snap-fit ​​portion 23. The second mounting portion 22 is located behind the through-beam light body 21, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 23 is located below the through-beam light body 21. The through-beam light assembly 2 is connected to the front-end module 6 via the second mounting portion 22, and to the front bumper bracket 5 via the second snap-fit ​​portion 23.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple second mounting portions 22 can be spaced apart along the Y direction, or they can be arranged symmetrically. The second snap-fit ​​portion 23 provides a Z-direction mounting structure for the through-lamp assembly 2. Multiple second mounting portions 22 and multiple second snap-fit ​​portions 23 can further improve the installation stability and accuracy of the through-lamp assembly 2 in the Y direction.

[0049] See Figure 6 As shown, the through-light assembly 2 is also provided with a second positioning hole 24, which is located on the second mounting part 22. The second positioning hole 24 serves to position the through-light assembly 2 in the Y direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 As shown, the front bumper bracket 5 is provided with a first mounting interface 51, a first mounting mating part 52, a second mounting interface 53, and a third mounting part 54 in sequence along a first direction. The first mounting part 121 connects to the first mounting mating part 52, and the first mounting engagement part 13 engages with the first mounting interface 51 to connect the trim assembly 1 to the front bumper bracket 5. The second mounting engagement part 23 engages with the second mounting interface 53 to connect the lower part of the through light assembly 2 to the front bumper bracket 5. The rear side of the front bumper bracket 5 is connected to the front module 6 through the third mounting part 54.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction mentioned above is the vehicle height direction, i.e., the Z direction. The front bumper 3, trim assembly 1 and through light assembly 2 are all connected to the front bumper bracket 5 in sequence along the Z direction.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 As shown, the front-end module 6 is provided with a second mounting mating part 64. The second mounting part 22 is connected to the second mounting mating part 64 to connect the rear of the through lamp assembly 2 to the front-end module 6.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the front-end module 6 is fixed to the vehicle's longitudinal beam or front bumper beam, providing a mounting structure for the front bumper bracket 5 and the through-beam light assembly 2. The front-end module 6 has multiple second mounting mating parts 64 and multiple third mounting mating parts 63. The second mounting part 22 at the rear end of the through-beam light assembly 2 connects with the second mounting mating part 64 of the front-end module 6, enabling the rear side of the through-beam light assembly 2 to be mounted on the front-end module 6. The front bumper bracket 5 is connected to the front-end module 6 via the third mounting part 54 and the third mounting mating part 63, thus enabling the front bumper bracket 5 to be mounted on the front-end module 6.

[0054] See Figure 8As shown, the front-end module 6 is also provided with a first positioning pin 61 and a second positioning pin 62. The first positioning pin 61 cooperates with the first positioning hole 122 to position the trim component 1, and the second positioning pin 62 cooperates with the second positioning hole 24 to position the through light component 2.

[0055] See Figure 9 , Figure 8 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: headlights 4, which are located on both sides of the trim assembly 1. For example, the headlights 4 are located on both sides of the trim assembly 1 along the Y direction. The headlights 4 are provided with a fourth mounting part 41, and the front module 6 is provided with a fourth mounting mating part 65. The headlights 4 are connected to the front module 6 through the mating of the fourth mounting part 41 and the fourth mounting mating part 65. By connecting the headlights 4 to the front module 6, both the headlights 4 and the trim assembly 1 are connected to the front module 6. Thus, during assembly, since both the headlights 4 and the trim assembly 1 are positioned and integrated on the front module 6, the accumulated tolerance is reduced, thereby solving the surface difference between the trim assembly 1 and the headlights 4 in the X direction.

[0056] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 During installation, the front bumper 3 is first positioned and installed in the Y direction at the front end of the front bumper bracket 5 to form the front bumper assembly. The front bumper bracket 5 is connected to the third mounting mating part 63 on the front module 6 via the third mounting part 54, thus installing the front bumper bracket 5 in the Y direction onto the front module 6, completing the installation of the front bumper 3 and the front bumper bracket 5 on the front module 6. Then, the trim assembly 1 is snapped onto the front bumper bracket 5 in the Z direction via the first snap-fit ​​part 13. At the same time, the trim assembly 1 is provided with a third positioning hole 14, which engages with the positioning pin or protrusion structure on the front bumper 3. The third positioning hole 14 limits the accuracy deviation between the trim assembly 1 and the front bumper 3 in the Y direction, and the engagement of the first positioning hole 122 with the first positioning pin 61 limits the installation accuracy deviation between the trim assembly 1 and the front module 6 in the X direction. Through the connection of the first mounting part 121 and the first mounting mating part 52, the trim assembly 1 is installed on the front bumper bracket 5 in the Z direction, completing the installation of the trim assembly 1 and the front bumper bracket 5. Finally, the through light assembly 2 is engaged with the front bumper bracket 5 in the Z direction via the second snap-fit ​​part 23, and cooperates with the second positioning pin 62 on the front module 6 via the second positioning hole 24, thereby limiting the installation accuracy deviation between the through light assembly 2 and the front module 6 in the X direction; through the connection between the second mounting part 22 and the second mounting mating part 64, the through light assembly 2 is installed on the front module 6 in the Z direction, thus completing the installation of the through light assembly 2 and the front module 6.

[0057] By sequentially installing the front bumper 3, trim assembly 1, through light assembly 2, and connecting them with the front bumper bracket 5 and front module 6, the installation stability between the components is ensured. By setting different installation orientations and using positioning hole structures simultaneously, the installation accuracy of the trim assembly 1, the front bumper 3, and the through light assembly 2 in the X, Y, and Z directions is improved.
