A vehicle hood assembly and vehicle

Abstract

The application relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle cover plate assembly and a vehicle. The vehicle cover plate assembly comprises an outer cover plate, an inner cover plate and a damping piece. The damping piece is arranged between the inner cover plate and the outer cover plate. The damping piece can provide damping effect and supporting effect for the outer cover plate, so as to reduce the high-frequency vibration of the outer cover plate caused by engine operation and road impact, and reduce the noise generated by the vibration of the outer cover plate. In addition, one end of the damping piece of the embodiment of the application is fixedly connected with the inner cover plate, and the other end is abutted with the outer cover plate. The damping piece adopts a single-face fixed connection mode. The damping piece is in physical contact with the outer cover plate but is not fixedly connected. Due to the mechanical isolation effect, when the damping piece shrinks in volume, the shrinkage force is mainly borne by the inner cover plate. The damping piece does not generate tension on the outer cover plate, thereby reducing defects such as pits of the outer cover plate under the action of the tension, and improving the appearance of the vehicle.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a vehicle cover assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The hood is a component of a vehicle's body, not only covering the engine compartment but also contributing to the vehicle's front appearance. It's one of the most visible and tangible external parts for users and customers. During a collision, the hood plays a role in absorbing some of the energy and protecting pedestrians. Therefore, the design of the hood must consider both its appearance and the performance requirements of its structural components. A hood typically consists of an inner hood panel and an outer hood panel, with the outer panel covering the inner panel. Currently, pedestrian protection regulations require that certain areas of the outer hood panel have lower rigidity to reduce the risk of head injuries to pedestrians during a collision.

[0003] In related technologies, damping rubber is usually applied between the inner and outer panels of the hood. However, during the contraction process, the damping rubber exerts tensile force on the outer hood panel. Areas with weaker rigidity on the outer hood panel are prone to dents and other defects under this tensile force, affecting the vehicle's appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiments of this application provide a vehicle cover assembly and a vehicle, which can solve the technical problem that the shock-absorbing rubber will exert tension on the outer panel of the hood during the shrinkage process, and the weaker parts of the outer panel of the hood are prone to defects such as dents under the action of tension, which affects the appearance of the vehicle.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle cover assembly, comprising:

[0006] Inner cover plate;

[0007] An outer cover plate is disposed on the inner cover plate;

[0008] A shock absorber is disposed between the inner cover plate and the outer cover plate. One end of the shock absorber is fixedly connected to the inner cover plate, and the other end of the shock absorber abuts against the outer cover plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the shock absorber includes a laminated adhesive layer and a buffer layer;

[0010] The inner cover plate is bonded to the adhesive layer, and the buffer layer is disposed between the outer cover plate and the adhesive layer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the material of the buffer layer is rubber; and / or

[0013] The high-temperature resistant diaphragm is a PET film.

[0014] In one embodiment, the average thickness of the damping element is between 1 mm and 5 mm.

[0015] In one embodiment, the outer cover plate includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the stiffness of the first connecting portion is less than the stiffness of the second connecting portion;

[0016] One end of the shock absorber is fixedly connected to the inner cover plate, and the other end abuts against the first connecting part.

[0017] In one embodiment, the vehicle cover assembly further includes a shock-absorbing expansion adhesive, which is bonded to the second connecting portion and the inner cover plate respectively.

[0018] In one embodiment, one end of the shock absorber is bonded to the inner cover plate, and the other end abuts against the first connecting portion;

[0019] The vehicle cover assembly also includes a waterproof patch located between the first connecting portion and the shock absorber, and the waterproof patch is adhered to the first connecting portion.

[0020] In one embodiment, the waterproof patch can undergo high-temperature hardening to enhance the rigidity of the first connection.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the vehicle cover assembly described above.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0023] The vehicle cover assembly in this embodiment includes an outer cover, an inner cover, and a shock absorber. The shock absorber is disposed between the inner cover and the outer cover. The shock absorber provides shock absorption and support for the outer cover to reduce high-frequency vibrations of the outer cover caused by engine operation and road impacts, thereby reducing noise generated by the vibration of the outer cover. In addition, one end of the shock absorber in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the inner cover and the other end abuts against the outer cover. The shock absorber adopts a single-sided fixed connection. The shock absorber is in physical contact with the outer cover but is not fixedly connected. Due to the mechanical isolation effect, when the shock absorber shrinks in volume, the shrinkage force is mainly borne by the inner cover. The shock absorber will not exert tension on the outer cover, thereby reducing defects such as dents on the outer cover under tension and improving the vehicle appearance.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application. In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-3 and Figure 5 The vehicle cover assembly 100 of this application includes an outer cover 2, an inner cover 1, and a shock absorber 3. The shock absorber 3 is disposed between the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2. The shock absorber 3 can provide shock absorption and support for the outer cover 2 to reduce the high-frequency vibration of the outer cover 2 caused by engine operation and road impact, and reduce the noise generated by the vibration of the outer cover 2. In addition, compared with the traditional shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 which is bonded to the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate respectively, the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 will exert a tensile force on the outer cover plate during the cooling and shrinkage process after the expansion during coating and baking. In areas where the rigidity of the outer cover plate is weak, defects such as pits are easily generated under the action of tensile force. In this embodiment, one end of the shock absorber 3 is fixedly connected to the inner cover plate 1, and the other end abuts against the outer cover plate 2. In this embodiment, the shock absorber 3 adopts a single-sided fixed connection. The shock absorber 3 is in physical contact with the outer cover plate 2 but is not fixedly connected. Due to the mechanical isolation effect, when the shock absorber 3 shrinks in volume, the shrinkage force is mainly borne by the inner cover plate 1. The shock absorber 3 will not exert a tensile force on the outer cover plate 2, thereby reducing the defects such as pits generated on the outer cover plate 2 under the action of tensile force and improving the appearance of the vehicle.

[0039] In addition, when the inner cover plate 1 is locked with a locking ring, the locking ring will exert a downward pulling force on the inner cover plate 1. When the inner cover plate 1 drives the shock absorber 3 to move downward, due to the mechanical isolation effect, the shock absorber 3 will not exert a pulling force on the outer cover plate 2, thereby reducing the defects such as pits that occur on the outer cover plate 2 under the action of the pulling force.

[0040] It should be noted that, in Figure 3 In the diagram, the red lines represent the outer cover plate 2 with waterproof patch 5, and the black lines represent the inner cover plate 1 with shock-absorbing component 3 and shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the method of fixing the shock absorber 3 to the inner cover plate 1 is not limited. For example, the shock absorber 3 can be fixedly connected to the inner cover plate 1 by means of bonding, welding, snap-fit ​​connection, etc.

[0042] In this embodiment, the shape of the shock absorber 3 is not limited, and the shape of the shock absorber 3 can be a cuboid, a cube, a frustum, or other shapes.

[0043] In this embodiment, the other end of the shock absorber 3 abuts against the outer cover plate 2, which means that the shock absorber 3 and the outer cover plate 2 are in physical contact and are not fixedly connected. There is no adhesive layer or mechanical fixing structure between the shock absorber 3 and the outer cover plate 2. The shock absorber 3 and the outer cover plate 2 are non-rigidly connected. The shock absorber 3 can move relative to the outer cover plate 2 under the action of external force.

[0044] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4The shock absorber 3 includes an adhesive layer 31 and a buffer layer 32 stacked together. The adhesive layer 31 has a certain degree of adhesion, and the shock absorber 3 is fixedly connected to the inner cover plate 1 by adhesive bonding. Adhesion does not require drilling or mechanical fastening, reducing the assembly steps of the shock absorber 3. In addition, the adhesive layer 31 can isolate moisture and dust, protecting the contact interface between the lower cover plate and the shock absorber 3. The buffer layer 32 is disposed between the outer cover plate 2 and the adhesive layer 31. The buffer layer 32 can absorb vibration energy and reduce the vibration of the outer cover plate 2.

[0045] In one embodiment, the material of the buffer layer 32 is rubber. In this embodiment, rubber has good elasticity and high temperature resistance, which can ensure the buffer performance and high temperature resistance of the shock absorber 3.

[0046] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 The shock absorber 3 also includes a high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33, which is disposed on the side of the buffer layer 32 near the outer cover plate 2. In this embodiment, since the vehicle cover plate assembly 100 may need to be baked at high temperature during processing, the high-temperature resistant membrane is not easy to melt during baking. When the buffer layer 32 melts during high-temperature processing, the high-temperature resistant membrane effectively isolates the buffer layer 32 from the outer cover plate 2. The partially melted buffer layer 32 is not easy to adhere to the outer cover plate 2, reducing the tension exerted by the shock absorber 3 on the outer cover plate 2, and further reducing the defects such as pits generated on the outer cover plate 2 under the action of tension.

[0047] In one embodiment, the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 is a PET film (polyethylene terephthalate film). PET film has the characteristics of good mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance and high temperature resistance, which further ensures the isolation effect between the buffer layer 32 and the outer cover plate 2.

[0048] In one embodiment, the average thickness of the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 is between 0.04 mm and 1 mm. Optionally, the average thickness of the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 can be any one or any two of 0.04 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1 mm, and is not limited herein. In this embodiment, when the average thickness of the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 is less than 0.04 mm, its high-temperature resistance is easily reduced. When the average thickness of the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 is greater than 1 mm, the material cost of the shock absorber 3 is easily increased. Setting the average thickness of the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 between 0.04 mm and 1 mm ensures that the high-temperature resistant diaphragm 33 has good mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and high-temperature resistance while saving material costs.

[0049] In one embodiment, the average thickness of the shock absorber 3 is between 1 mm and 5 mm. Optionally, the average thickness of the shock absorber 3 can be any one or any two of 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm, and is not limited here. If the average thickness of the shock absorber 3 is less than 1 mm, the shock absorption effect of the shock absorber 3 on the outer cover plate 2 is not ideal. If the average thickness of the shock absorber 3 is greater than 5 mm, the excessive thickness of the shock absorber 3 can easily cause the outer cover plate 2 to bulge, affecting the aesthetics of the outer cover plate 2. Setting the average thickness of the shock absorber 3 between 1 mm and 5 mm can ensure that the gap between the shock absorber 3 and the outer cover plate 2 is not too large, improve the support effect of the shock absorber 3 on the outer cover plate 2, and prevent the outer cover plate 2 from shaking when the vehicle moves, thus ensuring the shock absorption effect of the shock absorber 3.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 When the shock absorber 3 is not installed on the inner cover plate 1, the shock absorber 3 also includes release paper 34, which is adhered to the surface of the adhesive layer 31. In use, the release paper 34 can be peeled off to expose the adhesive layer 31, and then the shock absorber 3 can be adhered to the outer cover plate 2. The release paper 34 can provide a physical barrier for the adhesive layer 31, preventing the adhesive layer 31 from being contaminated with dust, oil, or fingerprints, which would affect the bonding strength.

[0051] In one embodiment, the outer cover plate 2 includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the stiffness of the first connecting part being less than the stiffness of the second connecting part; one end of the shock absorber 3 is fixedly connected to the inner cover plate 1, and the other end abuts against the first connecting part.

[0052] In one embodiment, due to pedestrian protection requirements, the inner cover plate 1 has a hollowed-out area with an energy-absorbing design. The outer cover plate 2 has a first connecting part with relatively weak rigidity at the corresponding hollowed-out hole. The shock absorber 3 is disposed adjacent to the hollowed-out area. The first connecting part with relatively weak rigidity is more prone to deformation when subjected to external forces. By providing the shock absorber 3 at the first connecting part with relatively weak rigidity, the shock absorber 3 can reduce defects such as dents in the first connecting part under tensile force, thereby improving the vehicle's appearance.

[0053] In one embodiment, the middle part of the inner cover plate 1 adopts a hollow area with a hollow energy-absorbing design.

[0054] In one embodiment, the shock absorber 3 is disposed on the front end side of the hollow area near the inner cover plate 1.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inner cover plate 1 has not only a hollow area with weak rigidity, but also a reinforced area with strong rigidity to ensure that the inner cover plate 1 has a certain structural strength.

[0056] In one embodiment, a reinforcing part with greater rigidity is provided at the front end of the inner cover plate 1, and a second connecting part with greater rigidity is provided at the corresponding reinforcing part of the outer cover plate 2.

[0057] In one embodiment, a reinforcing part with greater rigidity is provided at the outer peripheral edge of the inner cover plate 1, and a second connecting part with greater rigidity is provided at the corresponding reinforcing part of the outer cover plate 2.

[0058] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 The vehicle cover assembly 100 also includes a shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4, which is bonded to the second connecting portion and the inner cover plate 1. In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 is liquid or paste at room temperature. The adhesive 4 can be applied robotically, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the adhesive 4 has a low cost, which helps reduce material costs. After being applied to the inner cover plate 1, the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 expands in volume after high-temperature baking and firmly bonds to the second connecting portion between the inner cover plate 1 and the outer cover plate 2, reducing the vibration of the outer cover plate 2 and effectively providing support and shock absorption. In addition, due to the high rigidity of the second connecting portion, even if the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 shrinks in volume during cooling, thus generating tension on the second connecting portion, the second connecting portion is not prone to deformation or dents.

[0059] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 can be a commercially available shock-absorbing expansion adhesive, for example, the shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 can be a product with the following model number: 250 260, 3M TM Acoustic Baffle PartNo.051135-08011、3M TM The type of shock-absorbing and expanding foam, such as Crash Stable Expansive Foam, is not limited here.

[0060] In this embodiment, damping components 3 and damping expansion adhesive 4 can be arranged correspondingly at the first and second connecting parts with different stiffnesses of the outer cover plate 2. On the one hand, setting damping components 3 in the areas where the outer cover plate 2 has weaker stiffness can reduce defects such as dents in these areas, improving the vehicle's appearance. On the other hand, setting damping expansion adhesive 4 in the areas where the outer cover plate 2 has stronger stiffness allows for robotic application, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the low cost of damping expansion adhesive 4 helps reduce material costs. In addition, the damping expansion adhesive 4 is bonded to both the inner cover plate 1 and the outer cover plate 2, reducing the vibration of the outer cover plate 2 and effectively providing support and damping for it.

[0061] In this embodiment, the number of shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 is not limited and can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, the number of shock-absorbing expansion adhesive 4 can be one, two, or more. The number of shock-absorbing components 3 is not limited and can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, the number of shock-absorbing components 3 can be one, two, or more.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 One end of the shock absorber 3 is bonded to the inner cover plate 1, and the other end abuts against the first connecting part. The vehicle cover assembly 100 also includes a waterproof patch 5, which is located between the first connecting part and the shock absorber 3 and is adhered to the first connecting part. Since one end of the shock absorber 3 abuts against the first connecting part, there may be tiny gaps between the shock absorber 3 and the first connecting part. When the vehicle cover assembly 100 is coated with electrophoretic liquid, the viscosity of the electrophoretic liquid is relatively high, making it difficult for the electrophoretic liquid to penetrate into the tiny gaps between the shock absorber 3 and the first connecting part. This results in the contact interface between the first connecting part and the shock absorber 3 not being covered by the electrophoretic liquid, leading to poor electrophoresis. The contact interface is easily exposed to the air, and moisture and gases in the air can easily corrode the first connecting part at the contact interface. The waterproof patch 5 has a waterproof effect and can be adhered to the first connecting part, effectively forming a physical barrier at the contact interface between the first connecting part and the shock absorber 3, isolating the first connecting part from air corrosion, and effectively improving the corrosion resistance of the first connecting part.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of waterproof patches 5 is not limited; the number of waterproof patches 5 can be one, two, or more.

[0064] In one embodiment, the waterproof patch 5 can undergo high-temperature hardening to enhance the rigidity of the first connecting portion. In this embodiment, the waterproof patch 5 and the first connecting portion form a composite structure after bonding. The hardened waterproof patch 5 and the first connecting portion form a rigid coupling. External forces are transmitted to the waterproof patch 5 through the shear stress at the bonding interface. The waterproof patch 5 can provide additional bending stiffness and disperse local stress. The tensile stiffness of the waterproof patch 5 can constrain local depressions in the first connecting portion, thereby improving the rigidity of the first connecting portion and making it less prone to deformation and pitting.

[0065] In this embodiment, the waterproof patch 5 can be Terokal 5089, Reinforcing films of models such as EA 9396AERO are used as waterproof patch 5, and are not limited to this. Waterproof patch 5 has high flexibility at room temperature and can be cut according to the shape and size of the top cover plate. Waterproof patch 5 has high versatility and flexibility in use. After high-temperature treatment, waterproof patch 5 can undergo high-temperature hardening to enhance the rigidity of the first connection part, while also possessing good waterproof performance and air-barrier properties, effectively improving the corrosion resistance of the first connection part.

[0066] This application also provides a vehicle, including the vehicle cover assembly 100 as described above. In this embodiment, the vehicle may be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit it.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, the vehicle cover assembly 100 may be disposed on the front side of the vehicle as a cover for the engine compartment.
