Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an interior panel structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle interior trim panels are visible and tactile components that cover the space between the vehicle body frame and the occupants, combining aesthetics, functionality, and passive safety.

[0003] The vehicle interior trim panels consist of an upper trim panel and a lower trim panel, with a seam formed at their joint. To reduce the assembly difficulty of the upper and lower trim panels, the seam in the existing vehicle body pillars is usually located at the shoulder position (i.e., 10-25mm below the lower edge of the side window glass, level with or slightly lower than the passenger's shoulder). Although creating the seam at the shoulder position facilitates the assembly of the interior trim panels, it does not create a continuous visual effect, resulting in a slightly disjointed appearance and a certain design defect. To avoid this defect, designers considered extending the seam to the armrest area to create a continuous line at the armrest, making the visual integration more unified and giving the interior trim panels a more cohesive feel.

[0004] When the seam is located in the armrest area, the lower and upper interior trim panels need to be assembled in the armrest area. However, since the shape of the armrest area is more complex than that of the shoulder area, the current assembly structure between the lower and upper interior trim panels with the seam located in the shoulder area is difficult to apply to the assembly of the lower and upper interior trim panels with the seam located in the armrest area, which causes difficulties in the assembly of the lower and upper interior trim panels with the seam extending to the armrest area. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present application provides an interior panel structure and a vehicle. By connecting the lower interior panel and the upper interior panel of the interior panel structure of the vehicle body pillar above the armrest through a plug-in structure and a plug-in structure, the lower interior panel is assembled on the upper interior panel above the armrest. By connecting the limiting structure and the extension structure, the lower interior panel is assembled on the upper interior panel at the armrest. This facilitates the assembly of the lower interior panel with the seam extending to the armrest on the upper interior panel, forming a vehicle body pillar interior panel structure with the seam extending to the armrest.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an interior panel structure for assembly into a vehicle, the vehicle having an X-direction along the length direction, a Y-direction along the width direction, and a Z-direction along the height direction.

[0008] The interior panel structure includes:

[0009] Upper interior trim panel, used to be installed on the side of the vehicle body pillars near the front of the vehicle;

[0010] The insertion structure is located on the side of the upper interior panel away from the front of the vehicle;

[0011] An extension structure is provided on the side of the upper interior panel near the bottom of the vehicle, and the extension structure is used to be arranged on one side of the armrest part of the vehicle;

[0012] The lower interior panel aligns with the side of the upper interior panel furthest from the front of the vehicle and closest to the bottom of the vehicle, forming a seam between them.

[0013] A plug-in structure is provided on the lower interior panel and plugs into the plug-in structure;

[0014] A limiting structure is disposed on the lower interior panel and connected to the extension structure for limiting the lower interior panel in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0015] The interior panel structure provided in this application includes an upper interior panel and a lower interior panel. The upper interior panel has a insertion structure on the side away from the front of the vehicle and an extension structure on the side near the bottom of the vehicle. The extension structure can extend to the armrest area. The lower interior panel and the upper interior panel are joined at their edges. The lower end of the upper interior panel extends to the armrest area, thus forming a seam structure extending to the armrest area. The lower interior panel has an insertion structure and a limiting structure. During the assembly of the lower and upper interior panels, by inserting the insertion structure on the lower interior panel into the insertion structure on the side of the upper interior panel, the lower interior panel and the upper part of the lower interior panel can be assembled at the armrest area. By connecting the limiting structure on the lower interior panel to the extension structure on the upper interior panel, the portion of the lower interior panel located at the armrest area can be limited in the X, Y, and Z directions, thus facilitating the assembly of the lower and upper interior panels at the armrest area, where the seam extends to the armrest area.

[0016] In one possible implementation of this application, the lower interior panel includes an interior section and a limiting section. The interior section covers the insertion structure and the extension structure on the side near the front of the vehicle. The limiting section is connected to the interior section and located on the side of the extension structure near the front of the vehicle, and extends in the Y direction. The limiting structure is disposed on the limiting section.

[0017] In one possible implementation of this application, the limiting structure includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member. The first limiting member is disposed on the limiting part and abuts against the extension structure in the Y direction, thereby limiting the movement of the limiting part in the Y direction. The second limiting member is disposed on the limiting part and is inserted into the extension structure in the Y direction, thereby limiting the movement of the limiting part in the X and Z directions.

[0018] In one possible implementation of this application, the first limiting member can extend from the front side of the extension structure to the back side of the extension structure through elastic deformation. The first limiting member forms an abutment side and a deformation guiding side on both sides along the Y direction. The deformation guiding side is used to guide the elastic deformation of the first limiting member from the front side of the extension structure to the back side of the extension structure. The abutment side abuts against the back side of the extension structure in the Y direction.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the deformation guide side is provided with a plurality of spaced guide ribs, each guide rib forming a guide slope, the guide slope being used to guide the elastic deformation of the first limiting member from the front side of the extension structure to the back side of the extension structure.

[0020] In one possible implementation of this application, the back side of the extension structure near the end of the first limiting member is provided with an abutting slope, and the edge of the abutting side abuts against the abutting slope.

[0021] In one possible implementation of this application, the extension structure is provided with a limiting port, the end of the second limiting member extends toward the Y direction and is inserted into the limiting port, and the second limiting member abuts against the side wall of the limiting port to restrict the movement of the limiting part in the X direction and the Z direction.

[0022] In one possible implementation of this application, a limiting rib is provided on the side of the second limiting member near the extension structure, one end of the limiting rib abuts against the surface of the extension structure, and the other end of the limiting rib abuts against the side wall of the limiting opening near the limiting part.

[0023] In one possible implementation of this application, the insertion structure has a plurality of insertion holes spaced apart along the edge of the upper interior panel, and the insertion structure includes a plurality of elastic buckles, each of which is disposed on the side of the lower interior panel near the upper interior panel and is respectively inserted into each of the insertion holes.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, including:

[0025] The frame has body pillars;

[0026] The interior panel structure is mounted on the vehicle body pillar.

[0027] This application provides a vehicle in which the interior panel structure provided in any of the above embodiments is installed on the vehicle body pillars. This allows the gap of the interior panel on the vehicle body pillars to extend to the armrest area. During the assembly of the lower and upper interior panels, only the insertion and connection of the insertion structure and the supply structure, as well as the connection of the limiting structure and the extension structure, are needed to ensure the stable assembly of the lower and upper interior panels. This facilitates the assembly of the lower and upper interior panels with the gap of the interior panel extending to the armrest area. Attached Figure Description

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0051] This application provides a vehicle with dimensions along the X-direction (length), Y-direction (width), and Z-direction (height). The vehicle includes a frame with body pillars, including A-pillars, B-pillars, and C-pillars. The C-pillar is part of the vehicle's body structure, located at the rear of the vehicle, and serves as a vertical support structure extending from the roof to the lower edge of the rear window. The C-pillar is the third major support pillar after the A-pillars (on both sides of the windshield) and the B-pillars (between the front and rear doors).

[0052] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Generally, a vehicle is equipped with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate and thus driving the vehicle.

[0053] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment also includes an interior panel structure, which is disposed on the vehicle body pillar and assembled on the pillar sheet metal. The interior panel structure includes an upper interior panel and a lower interior panel.

[0054] In some embodiments, the upper interior panel and the lower interior panel are joined together, forming a seam at the joint. The seam is typically formed at the shoulder position (i.e., 10-25mm below the lower edge of the side window glass, level with or slightly lower than the passenger's shoulder). Since the structure at the shoulder position is relatively simple, the assembly of the upper and lower interior panels with the seam at the shoulder position on the sheet metal only requires fixing them to the vehicle body sheet metal with clips and screws. Therefore, it facilitates the assembly between the upper and lower interior panels. However, by forming the seam at the shoulder position, a continuous visual effect cannot be achieved.

[0055] For example, for the interior panel structure of some vehicle body pillars, the seam extends to the armrest area. Compared to the seam being set at the shoulder, this can form a continuous line, making the visual integration more unified and giving the interior panel a more cohesive feel. However, the setting of this seam will cause trouble for the assembly between the lower and upper interior panels. Since the structure of the armrest area is more complex than that of the shoulder area, the fixation method of clips and screws alone is insufficient to restrict the movement of the upper and lower interior panels in the X, Y, and Z directions at the armrest area, which can easily lead to loosening of the interior panels or abnormal noises. Therefore, the fixation method of clips and screws is difficult to apply to the assembly of the upper and lower interior panels when the seam extends to the armrest area.

[0056] To address the technical problem of inconvenient assembly of the lower and upper interior panels where the seam extends to the armrest, the interior panel structure provided in this application embodiment achieves assembly of the lower interior panel above the armrest by interlocking the lower and upper interior panels above the armrest through an interlocking structure and a supply structure. By connecting the limiting structure and the extension structure, the lower interior panel is assembled on the upper interior panel at the armrest, and the lower interior panel is limited in the X, Y, and Z directions at the armrest, thereby facilitating the assembly of the lower interior panel on the upper interior panel when the seam extends to the armrest.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1a and Figure 5 The interior panel structure of this application embodiment includes an upper interior panel 10, a lower interior panel 20, a insertion structure 30, an extension structure 40, a plug-in structure 50, and a limiting structure 60. The upper interior panel 10 is arranged on the side of the vehicle body pillar near the front of the vehicle. The insertion structure 30 is arranged on the side of the upper interior panel 10 away from the front of the vehicle. The extension structure 40 is arranged on the side of the upper interior panel 10 near the bottom of the vehicle and is arranged on the side of the armrest 21 of the vehicle. The lower interior panel 20 is connected to the side of the upper interior panel 10 away from the front of the vehicle and near the bottom of the vehicle, and forms a gap a between them. The plug-in structure 50 is arranged on the lower interior panel 20 and plugs into the insertion structure 30. The limiting structure 60 is arranged on the lower interior panel 20 and connected to the extension structure 40, and is used to limit the lower interior panel 20 in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0058] Specifically, the interior panel structure includes an upper interior panel 10 and a lower interior panel 20. The upper interior panel 10 has a insertion structure 30 on the side away from the front of the vehicle and an extension structure 40 on the side near the bottom of the vehicle. The extension structure 40 can extend to the side of the armrest 21. The lower interior panel 20 is connected to the edge of the upper interior panel 10. The lower interior panel 20 is provided with an insertion structure 50 and a limiting structure 60. During the assembly of the lower interior panel 20 and the upper interior panel 10, by inserting the insertion structure 50 of the lower interior panel 20 into the insertion structure 30 on the side of the upper interior panel 10, the assembly of the lower interior panel 20 and the upper part of the armrest 21 can be realized. By connecting the limiting structure 60 of the lower interior panel 20 to the extension structure 40 of the upper interior panel 10, the portion of the lower interior panel 20 located in the armrest 21 can be limited in the X, Y and Z directions, thus realizing the assembly of the lower interior panel 20 and the upper interior panel 10 in the armrest 21.

[0059] The lower end of the upper interior panel 10 extends to the armrest portion 21. The lower interior panel 20 forms a seam a structure extending to the armrest portion 21 by abutting with the side edge and lower edge of the upper interior panel 10. Through the insertion and engagement of the aforementioned insertion structure 50 and the insertion supply structure 30, as well as the connection of the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40, the assembly of the lower interior panel 20 and the upper interior panel 10 extending to the armrest portion 21 by the seam a is facilitated, ensuring the stability of the interior panel structure at the seam a extending to the armrest portion 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, the vehicle body pillars can be the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar. That is, the interior panel structure can be applied to the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar, but is particularly suitable for the C-pillar. When applied to the C-pillar, the pillar sheet metal 10a is configured as the C-pillar sheet metal, and the interior panel structure is mounted on this C-pillar sheet metal. For example, this embodiment describes the scenario where the interior panel structure is mounted on the C-pillar. It should be noted that the principle of mounting the interior panel structure on the A-pillar and B-pillar is substantially the same as the principle of mounting it on the C-pillar.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper interior panel 10 is located on the body pillar near the roof, and its lower end extends to the armrest 21. The upper part of the lower interior panel 20 is located on the side of the upper interior panel 10 near the rear of the vehicle, and the lower part of the lower interior panel 20 forms the armrest 21, which is located below the upper interior panel 10. The shape and size of the lower interior panel 20 and the upper interior panel 10 can be adapted to actual needs, as long as they can cover the pillar sheet metal 10a by splicing.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 To secure the upper interior panel 10 to the pillar sheet metal 10a, the upper interior panel 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 11 spaced apart along the edge extension direction on the side near the rear of the vehicle. The mounting holes 11 allow screws to pass through, so that the upper interior panel 10 is secured to the pillar sheet metal 10a by screws. Through the securing of the upper interior panel 10 to the pillar sheet metal 10a and the assembly of the lower interior panel 20 to the upper interior panel 10, the interior panel structure can be stably assembled on the pillar sheet metal 10a.

[0063] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 11 can be adapted to the size and structure of the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20, and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0064] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the mounting part of the limiting structure 60 can be configured according to actual installation requirements, as long as it can be connected to the extension structure 40 and form a limit on the lower interior panel 20 in the X, Y and Z directions.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4The lower interior panel 20 includes an interior section 22 and a limiting section 23. The side of the interior section 22 near the front of the vehicle covers the insertion structure 30 and the extension structure 40. The limiting section 23 is connected to the interior section 22 and is located on the side of the extension structure 40 near the front of the vehicle, and extends in the Y direction. The limiting structure 60 is disposed on the limiting section 23. Specifically, the interior trim 22 can be spliced ​​with the upper interior trim panel 10 to form the C-pillar interior trim 22. The interior trim 22 covers the insertion structure 30, which provides Y-direction limiting and support, improving the stability of the interior trim 22. The limiting part 23 is set on the side of the extension structure 40 near the front of the vehicle and can cooperate with the interior trim 22 to enclose and cover the extension structure 40. By setting the limiting structure 60 on the limiting part 23, the extension structure 40 can limit the X, Y, and Z directions of the limiting part 23 through cooperation with the limiting structure 60. Since the limiting part 23 is located at the edge of the lower interior trim panel 20, it facilitates the assembly of the lower interior trim panel 20 and the extension structure 40. On the other hand, by limiting the edge part, it can prevent the edge part of the lower interior trim panel 20 armrest part 21 from deforming.

[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the armrest portion 21 is disposed on the interior trim portion 22, and the upper end of the limiting portion 23 is located on one side of the armrest portion 21.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The extension structure 40 is a plate structure. The side of the plate structure away from the limiting part 23 is fastened to the column sheet metal 10a by screws, and the side of the plate structure close to the limiting part 23 is suspended for connection to the limiting structure 60.

[0068] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the limiting structure 60 can be a buckle installed on the upper interior panel 10. The buckle engages with the extension structure 40 to achieve the constraint of the lower interior panel 20 in the X, Y, and Z directions. The limiting structure 60 can also be a sealant provided on the upper interior panel 10. The sealant adheres to the adhesive on the extension structure 40 to achieve the constraint of the lower interior panel 20 in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0069] To ensure a stable connection between the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40, in some embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 5The limiting structure 60 includes a first limiting member 61 and a second limiting member 62. The first limiting member 61 is disposed on the limiting part 23 and abuts against the extension structure 40 in the Y direction, preventing the limiting part 23 from moving in the Y direction. The second limiting member 62 is disposed on the limiting part 23 and inserts into the extension structure 40 in the Y direction, preventing the limiting part 23 from moving in the X and Z directions. Specifically, the first limiting member 61 abuts against the extension structure 40 in the Y direction, thereby providing a limit for the limiting part 23 in the Y direction. The second limiting member 62 inserts into the extension structure 40 in the Y direction, thereby providing a limit for the limiting part 23 in the directions perpendicular to the Y direction (i.e., the X and Z directions). This allows the limiting structure 60 to achieve limiting of the limiting part 23 in the X, Z, and Z directions through the combined action of the first limiting member 61 and the second limiting member 62, achieving dual-point limiting. This ensures the stability of the connection between the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40 without increasing the assembly difficulty.

[0070] For example, the first limiting member 61 may abut against the front side (near the interior side) of the extension structure 40 or against the back side (near the exterior side) of the extension structure 40, and the second limiting member 62 may be inserted into the extension structure 40 through the front side or the back side of the extension structure 40.

[0071] To enhance the limiting effect of the limiting part 23 and to prevent the extension structure 40 from deforming under unilateral force, in some embodiments, the first limiting member 61 and the second limiting member 62 should be distributed on the front and rear sides of the extension structure 40.

[0072] If the first limiting member 61 abuts against the front side of the extension structure 40, and the second limiting member 62 is inserted into the extension structure 40 through the back side of the extension structure 40, the assembly of the second limiting member 62 will be more difficult. In some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 7 The first limiting member 61 abuts against the back side of the extension structure 40, and the second limiting member 62 is inserted into the extension structure 40 through the front side of the extension structure 40. Through this connection method, after assembly, the first limiting member 61 and the second limiting member 62 can be positioned on opposite sides of the extension structure 40. Furthermore, during the assembly of the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 6a Simply place the first limiting member 61 on the front side of the extension structure 40, insert the second limiting member 62 into the extension structure 40 from the front side of the extension structure 40, and then tap the limiting part 23 in the Y direction at the location of the first limiting member 61, as shown in the figure. Figure 7The first limiting member 61 moves from the edge of the extension structure 40 to the back side of the extension structure 40 and abuts against the extension structure 40 on the back side, thereby realizing the assembly of the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40. While ensuring structural stability, the assembly difficulty of the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40 is reduced.

[0073] To facilitate the first limiting member 61 moving from the front side of the extension structure 40 to the back side of the extension structure 40, in some embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 6 , Figure 6a and Figure 7 The first limiting member 61 can elastically deform from the front side of the extension structure 40 to the back side of the extension structure 40. The first limiting member 61 has a deformation guiding side 611 and an abutting side 612 on both sides along the Y direction. The deformation guiding side 611 guides the elastic deformation of the first limiting member 61 from the front side of the extension structure 40 to the back side of the extension structure 40, and the abutting side 612 abuts against the back side of the extension structure 40 in the Y direction. Specifically, during the assembly of the limiting structure 60 and the extension structure 40, refer to... Figure 6 First, the deformation guide side 611 of the first limiting member 61 is placed on the front side of the extension structure 40. During the process of striking the limiting part 23 in the Y direction, the deformation guide side 611 abuts against the edge of the extension part, providing guidance for the deformation of the first limiting member 61, thereby facilitating the first limiting member 61 to pass over the extension structure 40. (Refer to...) Figure 7 , Figure 7a and Figure 7b After the first limiting member 61 moves to the back side of the extension structure 40, the abutting side 612 abuts against the back side of the extension structure 40 in the Y direction, providing a Y-direction limit for the limiting part 23.

[0074] Based on this, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the deformation guide side 611 is provided with a plurality of spaced guide ribs 6111, each guide rib 6111 forming a guide slope, the guide slope being used to guide the elastic deformation of the first limiting member 61 from the front side of the extension structure 40 to the back side of the extension structure 40.

[0075] Additionally, in some embodiments of this application, the limiting portion 23 can also be X-directed by the contact between the abutting side 612 and the extension structure 40. In one possible implementation of this application, refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 6a and Figure 7 , Figure 7a and Figure 7bAn abutting slope 41 is provided on the back side of the extension structure 40 near the end of the first limiting member 61, and the edge of the abutting side 612 abuts against the abutting slope 41. Specifically, through the abutting side 612 abutting against the abutting slope 41, the abutting slope 41 can form a component force along the Y direction and a component force along the X direction, thereby providing a limit for the limiting part 23 in the X direction.

[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the abutting slope 41 can be a sloped plane or an arc surface.

[0077] Based on this, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6a , Figure 7 , Figure 7c and Figure 7d In some embodiments of this application, the extension structure 40 is provided with a limiting port 42, and the end of the second limiting member 62 extends in the Y direction and is inserted into the limiting port 42. The second limiting member 62 abuts against the side wall of the limiting port 42 to block the movement of the limiting part 23 in the X and Z directions. Specifically, a hook is provided at one end of the second limiting member 62 near the extension structure 40. The hook is inserted into the limiting port 42, and the hook restricts the movement of the limiting part 23 in the X and Y directions by abutting against the side wall of the limiting port 42.

[0078] Furthermore, since the force exerted by the sidewall of the limiting opening 42 on the second limiting member 62 is relatively large, in one possible implementation of this application, a limiting rib 621 is provided on the side of the second limiting member 62 near the extension structure 40. One end of the limiting rib 621 abuts against the surface of the extension structure 40, and the other end of the limiting rib 621 abuts against the sidewall of the limiting opening 42 near the limiting part 23. Specifically, the limiting rib 621 can strengthen the second limiting member 62, thereby preventing the second limiting member 62 from deforming under the force of the sidewall of the limiting opening 42.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 6a and Figure 7The Y-direction of the limiting part 23 can be limited by the contact between the contact side 612 and the contact slope 41 on the back side of the extension structure 40, and by the contact between the limiting rib 621 of the second limiting member 62 and the front side of the extension structure 40. The component force of the contact side 612 acting on the extension structure 40 in the Y-direction is opposite to the force of the second limiting member 62 acting on the extension structure 40 in the Y-direction. Under the action of these two forces in the Y-direction, the stability of the limiting part 23 in the Y-direction can be ensured. The X-direction of the limiting part 23 can be limited by the contact between the contact side 612 and the contact slope 41 on the back side of the extension structure 40, and by the contact between the limiting rib 621 of the second limiting member 62 and the side wall of the limiting opening 42 near the limiting part 23. The force of the contact side 612 acting on the X-direction of the extension structure 40 is opposite to the force of the second limiting member 62 acting on the X-direction of the extension structure 40. Under the action of these two X-direction forces, the stability of the limiting part 23 in the X-direction can be ensured.

[0080] For example, the insertion structure 50 can be an insertion edge extending along the edge of the lower interior panel 20, and the insertion structure 30 can be provided with an insertion groove extending along the edge of the upper interior panel 10. By inserting the insertion edge into the insertion groove, the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20 are assembled on the upper part of the armrest portion 21.

[0081] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 3 Figure 5 ,and Figure 5a The insertion structure 30 has a plurality of insertion holes 31 spaced apart along the edge of the upper interior panel 10. The insertion structure 50 includes a plurality of elastic buckles 51, each of which is located on the side of the lower interior panel 20 near the upper interior panel 10 and is inserted into the respective insertion hole 31. Specifically, during the assembly of the upper interior panel 10 and the upper part of the armrest portion 21 of the lower interior panel 20, each elastic buckle 51 only needs to be inserted into the respective insertion hole 31 through the front side (the side closer to the vehicle interior) of the insertion structure 30. During the insertion of the elastic buckle 51 into the insertion hole 31, the elastic part of the elastic side will contract inward. After the elastic part passes the insertion hole 31, it will expand under its own elastic force and finally engage with the back side (the side closer to the vehicle interior) of the insertion structure 30, thereby realizing the assembly of the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20 on the upper part of the armrest portion 21 and ensuring the stability of the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20.

[0082] For example, the elastic buckle 51 is a cantilever elastic buckle 51, which consists of an elastic cantilever and a hook, and achieves engagement and release through the deformation of the elastic cantilever. Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, the elastic buckle 51 is an A-type buckle.

[0083] In the assembly process of the interior panel structure of the vehicle provided in this application embodiment, the upper interior panel 10 is first fastened to the sheet metal with screws on the side near the rear of the vehicle. Then, the elastic buckles 51 on the lower interior panel 20 are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 31 of the insertion structure 30 of the upper interior panel 10. At this time, the limiting part 23 of the lower interior panel 20 is located on the side of the extension structure 40 near the front of the vehicle. The hook part of the second limiting member 62 of the limiting structure 60 is inserted into the limiting port 42. The guide rib 6111 of the first limiting member 61 abuts against the front side of the extension structure 40. After this state is formed, the lower interior panel 20 is patted, so that the first limiting member 61 deforms and guides the first limiting member 61. Guided by the side 611, the first limiting member 61 abuts against the abutting side 612 of the first limiting member 61 and the abutting slope 41 of the extension structure 40. At this time, the reinforcing rib of the second limiting member 62 abuts against the side wall of the limiting opening 42 near the limiting part 23, and finally the assembly of the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20 is completed. In this embodiment, the C-pillar rib can form a gap a structure extending to the armrest part 21 by setting the above-mentioned interior panel structure, which can facilitate the assembly of the upper interior panel 10 and the lower interior panel 20 and ensure the stability of the interior panel structure at the extension of the gap a to the armrest part 21.

[0084] This application embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a frame and the aforementioned interior panel structure, the frame having body pillars, and the interior panel structure mounted on the body pillars.

[0085] For example, the vehicle body pillars are particularly suitable for the C-pillar, but they can also be applied to the A-pillar and B-pillar.
