Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, specifically to an interior panel buckle seat structure, an interior panel, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, interior trim panels are typically installed using standard clips, which requires drilling holes in the vehicle body. With vehicle bodies increasingly using cast aluminum components, this method of installing trim panels with standard clips is not only costly due to the drilling process and poor sealing performance, but also leads to stress concentration. Welding studs onto the cast aluminum body is a relatively low-cost method that avoids these risks. While trim panel components often use ring-shaped clips to mate with studs, the exposed studs and clips detract from the visual appeal of the trim panels and other exterior components, impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, this application embodiment provides an interior panel snap-fit ​​structure for engaging with a stud 40 disposed on a vehicle body 50, thereby connecting the interior panel to the vehicle body 50 using this interior panel snap-fit ​​structure. The interior panel snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​body 10 and a first elastic snap-fit ​​20. The snap-fit ​​body 10 has a receiving cavity 11, and the first elastic snap-fit ​​20 is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity 11 of the snap-fit ​​body 10. When the stud 40 disposed on the vehicle body 50 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the first elastic snap-fit ​​20 engages with the stud 40, connecting the snap-fit ​​body 10 to the stud 40.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the buckle holder body 10 includes: a base plate 12, a support plate 13, a side wall 14, and a support foot 15. The support plate 13 is disposed opposite to the base plate 12 and is used to support the elastic buckle. The side wall 14 is disposed between the base plate 12 and the support plate 13, and the side wall 14, the base plate 12, and the support plate 13 form a receiving cavity 11. An opening 141 is provided on the side wall 14, allowing the first elastic buckle 20 to be placed onto the support plate 13 through the opening 141. The support foot 15 is disposed on the surface of the support plate 13 facing away from the base plate 12, i.e., on the bottom surface of the support plate 13.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the buckle seat body 10 also includes a limiting plate 16 disposed in the receiving cavity 11; the limiting plate 16 is disposed between the base plate 12 and the support plate 13, connected to the side wall 14 and disposed opposite to the support plate 13; a vertical limiting part 17 extending toward the support plate 13 is provided on the surface of the limiting plate 16 opposite to the support plate 13. When the first elastic buckle 20 is placed onto the support plate 13 from the opening 141 of the side wall 14, the limiting plate 16 and the vertical limiting part 17 disposed on the surface of the limiting plate 16 opposite to the support plate 13 press the first elastic buckle 20 onto the support plate 13 from above, and the end of the vertical limiting part 17 abuts against the top surface of the first elastic buckle 20, thereby limiting the first elastic buckle 20.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a through groove 131 is provided on the support plate 13. The width of the through groove 131 is set to be smaller than the diameter of the stud 40, and a central hole 132, which is directly larger than the stud 40, is provided in the middle of the through groove 131. When the first elastic buckle 20 is placed on the support plate 13, the center of the first elastic buckle 20 is opposite to the center of the central hole 132 in the middle of the through groove 131, so that when the stud 40 provided on the vehicle body 50 passes through the central hole 132 in the through groove 131, it can also pass through the center of the first elastic buckle 20 and engage with the first elastic buckle 20.

[0029] The width of the through slot 131 on the support plate 13 can be set slightly smaller than the diameter of the stud 40. This allows the portion of the stud 40 with a diameter smaller than its own diameter to be inserted into the through slot 131, while ensuring that the stud 40 cannot pass entirely through the through slot 131. The stud 40 can only fully pass through the center hole 132 of the through slot 131 and engage with the first elastic buckle 20. When the buckle seat body 10 with the first elastic buckle 20 installed is engaged with the stud 40 on the vehicle body 50, the end of the stud 40 may not be precisely inserted into the center hole 132 of the through slot 131, but will most likely be inserted into other parts of the through slot 131. Then, by sliding along the through slot 131, the center hole 132 can be easily found. Therefore, by setting the width of the through groove 131 to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the stud 40, the through groove 131 plays an auxiliary positioning role, so that the stud 40 can quickly and accurately pass through the central hole 132 and engage with the first elastic buckle 20.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a protruding limiting part 133 is provided at the end of the opening 141 near the side wall 14 of the through groove 131 to limit the first elastic buckle 20 placed on the support plate 13. A vertical limiting part 17 provided on the limiting plate 16 is used to press the first elastic buckle 20 onto the support plate 13 to restrict the movement of the first elastic buckle in a direction perpendicular to the support plate 13. The protruding limiting part 133 provided at the end of the opening 141 near the side wall 14 of the through groove 131 restricts the movement of the first elastic buckle in a direction parallel to the support plate 13. A protruding limiting part 133 can also be provided at the other end of the through groove 131 opposite to the end of the opening 141 near the side wall 14. The two protruding limiting parts 133 are arranged opposite each other to provide better fixation for the first elastic buckle 20.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a plurality of support feet 15 are provided on the support plate 13, and these support feet 15 are evenly arranged along the central hole 132. Each support foot 15 has a first guide portion 151 at its end, such that the first guide portions 151 at the ends of the plurality of support feet 15 together form a guide channel for guiding the stud 40 provided on the vehicle body 50 to the support plate 13. In a specific embodiment, four support feet 15 are provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 13, and these four support feet 15 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the central hole 132 of the support plate 13. Each support foot 15 has a beveled structure at its end as a first guide portion 151, such that the first guide portions 151 at the ends of the four support feet 15 form a truncated cone-shaped channel. The smaller end of the truncated cone channel is located closer to the support plate 13, and the larger end of the truncated cone channel is located farther from the support plate 13, thereby forming a guide channel through which the stud 40 passes.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper parts of adjacent support legs 15 are connected to form a second guide portion 152. Specifically, the upper parts of two adjacent support legs 15 are connected by an arc surface to form a cylindrical second guide portion 152 with a size similar to that of the central hole 132 (the diameter is slightly larger than that of the central hole 132). The cylindrical channel enclosed by the second guide portion 152 is connected to the small end of the frustum-shaped channel formed by the first guide portion 151 at the ends of the multiple support legs 15, so that the stud 40 provided on the vehicle body 50 passes through the frustum-shaped channel formed by the first guide portion 151 at the ends of the multiple support legs 15 and enters the cylindrical second guide portion 152 formed by the connection of the upper parts of adjacent support legs 15, which provides better guidance for the stud 40.

[0033] By providing a first guide portion 151 and a second guide portion 152 on the support foot 15, it is convenient to blindly install the interior panel onto the vehicle body 50 using the interior panel snap-on seat structure of this application embodiment.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the interior panel fastener structure in this embodiment may further include a second elastic fastener 30. In some cases, it is necessary to install multiple interior components on a single stud 40 mounted on the vehicle body 50, for example, two interior components. In this case, the interior mounting structure 60 of the first interior component is first fitted onto the stud 40, and then the second elastic fastener 30 is used to engage with the stud 40, thus fixing the interior mounting structure 60 to the vehicle body 50 via the stud 40 and the second elastic fastener 30. Then, the interior panel is fixedly connected to the stud 40 via the fastener body 10, which is equipped with the first elastic fastener 20. The height of the support leg 15 in the fastener body 10 can be correspondingly reduced according to the thickness of the interior mounting structure 60 of the first installed interior component and the thickness of the second elastic fastener 30, thereby enabling multiple interior components to share a single stud 40 on the vehicle body 50 as a mounting point. For example, the interior panel can share a mounting point with components such as air ducts, greatly saving space and improving the flexibility of component design.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, both the first elastic buckle 20 and the second elastic buckle 30 can be ring-shaped elastic buckles, which are easy to adapt to the stud 40.

[0036] The interior panel clip-on structure in this embodiment optimizes the clip-on structure, facilitating the installation of the first elastic clip 20 and adapting to the studs 40 mounted on the vehicle body 50. By providing a first guide portion 151 and a second guide portion 152 on the support foot 15, it facilitates blind mounting of the interior panel onto the vehicle body 50, avoiding the need for alignment work between the studs 40 and the interior panel clip-on structure during installation. This interior panel clip-on structure replaces the traditional perforated clip, eliminating the need for holes in the vehicle body 50, improving the sealing performance of the vehicle body 50, preventing stress concentration, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the cast aluminum vehicle body 50.

[0037] This application embodiment also provides an interior panel, which is provided with the interior panel buckle structure as described above, for fixing the interior panel to the vehicle body 50.

[0038] When installing the interior panel onto the vehicle body 50 using the interior panel snap-fit ​​structure described in this application, the snap-fit ​​body 10, on which the first elastic snap 20 is mounted, is brought closer to the stud 40 on the vehicle body 50. This allows the stud 40 to easily enter the frustum-shaped channel formed by the first guide portion 151 at the end of the support leg 15, and then enter the cylindrical second guide portion 152 formed by the upper connection of the adjacent support legs 15. Next, the end of the stud 40 reaches the through groove 131 on the support plate 13, and, guided by the through groove 131, aligns with the center hole 132, passing through the center hole 132 and engaging with the first elastic snap 20 on the support plate 13. When the end of the support leg 15 abuts against the vehicle body 50, the interior panel is installed in place.

[0039] When using the interior panel clip-on structure described in this application to install an interior panel and another interior component onto the same stud 40 on the vehicle body 50, first, the interior mounting structure 60 of the interior component is fitted onto the stud 40, and then the second elastic clip 30 is used to engage with the stud 40 to fix the interior mounting structure 60 onto the stud 40. Then, the interior panel is installed following the above process.

[0040] This application embodiment provides another vehicle, which includes a body 50 and an interior panel as described above. The body 50 includes a cast aluminum component with studs 40. The studs 40 are connected to the cast aluminum component by welding; the interior panel is fixedly connected to the body 50 by a snap-fit ​​structure that engages with the studs 40.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
