Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive floor mat technology, specifically to an expandable automotive floor mat composed of TPE and PP composite. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and cars become increasingly common, car floor mats, as an essential interior product, are mainly laid on top of the car carpet to enhance the aesthetics and perceived quality of the interior. Furthermore, moisture and debris left on the driver's and passengers' shoes can settle on the floor mats, preventing carpet contamination and keeping the car interior clean. In recent years, with the development of automotive technology, especially electric vehicle technology, completely flat rear floors are becoming increasingly common. Correspondingly, rear car floor mats often adopt a one-piece molded block structure. However, due to different car models, the width of the rear floor varies. To ensure a proper fit, custom molds are needed to manufacture floor mats of corresponding sizes for different car models, matching the width of the rear floor. This results in high mold investment costs. In addition, users usually buy car floor mats online. TPE car floor mats are not easy to fold during packaging and take up a lot of space during transportation, resulting in high packaging and transportation costs. Some merchants roll up the car floor mats for transportation to reduce space usage, but if the rolling time is too long, the car floor mats will no longer be flat after being unfolded, which will affect the use effect. In severe cases, it may even cause permanent deformation of the car floor mats, making them unusable. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite material to overcome the aforementioned problems in the prior art. The expandable car floor mat of this invention includes a detachably connected floor mat body and an extension pad. The floor mat body and the extension pad are respectively composed of a set of TPE flexible unit strips and a set of PP rigid unit strips interlaced together. This allows the floor mat body and the extension pad to be folded and packed separately during transportation, greatly reducing space occupation and packaging and transportation costs. Furthermore, the car floor mat of this application is expandable. During installation, the floor mat body can be unfolded according to the size of the rear floor of the car to adapt to the floor size. The excess part can be folded to the sides of the floor mat body to fit against the door sill. Then, the extension pad is installed at a suitable position at the front of the floor mat body. This allows the car floor mat to adapt to the rear floor of different car models, providing good versatility and significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0005] An expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite includes a floor mat body; the front end of the floor mat body has two spaced-apart extension pads; the extension pads are detachably connected to the floor mat body; the floor mat body is composed of a set of A flexible unit strips and a set of A rigid unit strips interlaced, and the width of the A flexible unit strips is greater than the width of the A rigid unit strips; the extension pads are composed of a set of B flexible unit strips and a set of B rigid unit strips interlaced, and the width of the B flexible unit strips is greater than the width of the B rigid unit strips; the A flexible unit strips and B flexible unit strips are made of TPE material, and the A rigid unit strips and B rigid unit strips are made of PP material; when the car floor mat is stored, the A flexible unit strips and A rigid unit strips are folded, and the B flexible unit strips and B rigid unit strips are folded.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the expandable car floor mat of this utility model includes a detachably connected floor mat body and an extension pad. The floor mat body and the extension pad are respectively composed of a set of TPE flexible unit strips and a set of PP rigid unit strips interlaced together, and the flexible unit strips are wider than the rigid unit strips, so that the floor mat body and the extension pad can be folded. Therefore, during transportation, the floor mat body and the extension pad can be folded and packed separately, which greatly reduces the space occupied and reduces packaging and transportation costs. In addition, the car floor mat of this application is expandable. During installation, the floor mat body can be unfolded according to the size of the rear floor of the car to adapt to the floor size. The excess part can be folded on both sides of the floor mat body to fit against the door sill. Then the extension pad is installed in a suitable position at the front of the floor mat body (after the floor mat is installed, the extension pad is located under the driver and passenger seats). Thus, the car floor mat of this application can adapt to the rear floor of different car models, with good versatility, thereby greatly reducing manufacturing costs.

[0007] As an optimization, in the aforementioned expandable car floor mat composed of TPE and PP, the A flexible unit strip and A rigid unit strip, as well as the B flexible unit strip and B rigid unit strip, are injection molded together. In this case, the bonding strength between the flexible and rigid unit strips is high, making separation, peeling, and curling less likely; moreover, the injection molding process is suitable for large-scale automated production, with short cycles and high efficiency, which helps control production costs.

[0008] As an optimization, in the aforementioned expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite, the A flexible unit strip has an A limiting groove on its side, and the A rigid unit strip has a corresponding A limiting strip on its side, with the A limiting strip located within the A limiting groove; the B flexible unit strip has a B limiting groove on its side, and the B rigid unit strip has a corresponding B limiting strip on its side, with the B limiting strip located within the B limiting groove. The design of the limiting strip and the limiting groove increases the contact area between the flexible and rigid unit strips, thereby further improving the bonding force between them. Furthermore, the A flexible unit strip has two A limiting grooves spaced apart on its side, and correspondingly, the A rigid unit strip has two A limiting strips on its side; the B flexible unit strip has two B limiting grooves spaced apart on its side, and correspondingly, the B rigid unit strip has two B limiting strips on its side. This results in more uniform stress distribution when the flexible and rigid unit strips are injection molded together, which helps to improve the strength of the entire unit strip body and the extension pad, thereby increasing the service life of the car floor mats.

[0009] As an optimization, in the aforementioned expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite, the front end face of the floor mat body has two spaced-apart strip grooves, and correspondingly, the bottom end face of the extension pad has two spaced-apart sliders, which are slidably connected to the strip grooves. Therefore, after the extension pad is assembled onto the floor mat body, its connection position with the floor mat body can be adjusted according to the positional distribution between the driver and passenger seats and the rear floor in different car models. This allows the extension pad to extend under the driver and passenger seats after the floor mat body is installed on the rear floor, making operation convenient. Furthermore, the sliders are trapezoidal in shape, with a smaller inner end and a larger outer end. Therefore, when assembling the extension pad with the floor mat body, the sliders can be forcefully inserted into the strip grooves, simplifying installation. Moreover, the sliders and strip grooves provide longitudinal restraint, preventing the extension pad from easily detaching from the floor mat body during use.

[0010] As an optimization, in the aforementioned expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite, two loop pads are spaced apart on the main body of the mat. The loop pads provide a soft and elastic feel underfoot, reducing fatigue during long drives, and also offer some sound insulation and shock absorption. Furthermore, the main body of the mat has clips, and correspondingly, the loop pads have locking blocks that engage with the clips. The interplay between the locking blocks and clips connects the loop pads to the main body of the mat, making installation convenient and easy. Additionally, an adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the clips for bonding and securing them to the main body of the mat. Therefore, after purchasing the car floor mats, users can attach the clips to the corresponding positions according to different car models before installing the loop pads.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but it should not be construed as a basis for limiting this utility model.

[0020] Example:

[0021] See Figures 1 to 3An expandable car floor mat made of TPE and PP composite includes a floor mat body 1; the front end of the floor mat body 1 has two spaced-apart extension pads 2; the extension pads 2 are detachably connected to the floor mat body 1; the floor mat body 1 is formed by alternating splicing of a set of A flexible unit strips 11 and a set of A rigid unit strips 12, and the width of the A flexible unit strips 11 is greater than the width of the A rigid unit strips 12; the extension pads 2 are formed by alternating splicing of a set of B flexible unit strips 21 and a set of B rigid unit strips 22, and the width of the B flexible unit strips 21 is greater than the width of the B rigid unit strips 22; the A flexible unit strips 11 and B flexible unit strips 21 are made of TPE material, and the A rigid unit strips 21 and B rigid unit strips 22 are made of PP material; when the car floor mat is stored, the A flexible unit strips 11 and A rigid unit strips 12 are folded, and the B flexible unit strips 21 and B rigid unit strips 22 are folded (see...). Figure 7 When folding, the flexible unit strips are folded. During installation, unfold the floor mat body 1 according to the size of the car's rear floor to fit the floor size. Fold the excess part on both sides of the floor mat body 1 (if the excess part is large and needs to be folded into multiple layers, the adjacent two layers can be connected and fixed with Velcro) and fit it against the car door sill (Velcro can be set at the fitting area to connect the floor mat body 1 to the car door sill, so that the car floor mat is not easy to move when in use); then, install the extension pad 2 at a suitable position at the front end of the floor mat body 1 (when the floor mat body 1 is placed on the rear floor, the two extension pads 2 extend under the driver and passenger seats respectively).

[0022] In this embodiment, the A flexible unit strip 11 and A rigid unit strip 21, as well as the B flexible unit strip 21 and B rigid unit strip 22, are compositely formed by injection molding. In this case, the bonding strength between the flexible and rigid unit strips is high, and problems such as separation, peeling, and curling are less likely to occur. Furthermore, the injection molding composite molding process is suitable for large-scale automated production, with short cycles and high efficiency, which helps control production costs.

[0023] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The flexible unit strip 11 has two A-limiting grooves 111 spaced apart on its side, and the rigid unit strip 12 has two corresponding A-limiting strips 121 on its side, with the A-limiting strips 121 located within the A-limiting grooves 111. The flexible unit strip 21 has two B-limiting grooves 211 spaced apart on its side, and the rigid unit strip 22 has two corresponding B-limiting strips 221 on its side, with the B-limiting strips 221 located within the B-limiting grooves 211. The design of the limiting strips and grooves increases the contact area between the flexible and rigid unit strips, thereby further improving the bonding force between them. Moreover, when the flexible and rigid unit strips are injection molded together, the larger contact area allows them to better cooperate in bearing force, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the entire unit strip body 1 and the extension pad 2, thus increasing the service life of the car floor mat.

[0024] In this embodiment, the front end face of the floor mat body 1 is provided with two spaced-apart strip grooves 101. Correspondingly, the bottom end face of the extension pad 2 is provided with two spaced-apart sliders 23. The sliders 23 are slidably connected to the strip grooves 101. The sliders 23 are trapezoidal in shape, with a smaller inner end and a larger outer end. During assembly, the sliders 23 are first inserted into the strip grooves 101. Then, according to the positional distribution between the driver and passenger seats and the rear floor in different vehicle models, the extension pad 2 is moved to the corresponding position so that after the floor mat body 1 is installed on the rear floor, the extension pad 2 can extend under the driver and passenger seats.

[0025] In this embodiment, two loop pads 3 are spaced apart on the main body 1 of the foot pad. The design of the loop pads 3 provides a soft and elastic feel underfoot, reducing fatigue during long-distance driving, and also provides some sound insulation and shock absorption. Further details can be found in the documentation. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The floor mat body 1 is equipped with a buckle 4, and correspondingly, the coil pad 3 is equipped with a locking block 31 that engages with the buckle 4. Through the cooperation of the locking block 31 and the buckle 4, the connection between the coil pad 3 and the floor mat body 1 is achieved, making installation convenient and easy. Furthermore, an adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the buckle 4 for bonding and fixing it to the floor mat body 1. Therefore, after purchasing the car floor mats, users can attach the buckle 4 to the corresponding position according to different car models, and then fasten the coil pad 3 into the buckle 4 for fixation.

[0026] The foregoing general description of the utility model and its specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of the utility model. Those skilled in the art, based on the disclosure of this application, can add, reduce, or combine the disclosed technical features in the foregoing general description and / or specific embodiments (including examples) without departing from the constituent elements of the utility model, to form other technical solutions within the protection scope of this application.
