Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0019] Example 1 See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a flip-up lower door trim panel, including an outer lower trim panel 1, an inner lower trim panel 2, and a decorative cover 3. The bottom of the outer lower trim panel 1 includes a connected curved segment 11 and a straight segment 12. The inner lower trim panel 2 and the decorative cover 3 are both installed on the inner side of the outer lower trim panel 1, and the decorative cover 3 is installed on the curved segment 11 of the outer lower trim panel 1. The inner lower trim panel 2 includes a fixing plate 21 and a flipping plate 22. The fixing plate 21 and the flipping plate 22 are flipped and connected. The fixing plate 21 is fixed to the inner side wall of the outer lower trim panel 1. The flipping plate 22 is located on the straight segment 12 of the outer lower trim panel 1 and is gapped relative to the inner wall of the outer lower trim panel 1. The flipping plate 22 and the decorative cover 3 together wrap around the lower edge of the door.

[0020] See Figure 8 It should be noted that the cross-sectional structure of the lower trim outer panel 1 is U-shaped, so that the lower trim inner panel 2 is located inside the opening of the U-shape and connected to the surface where the horizontal edge of the U-shape is located.

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 8 It should be noted that the bottom of the decorative cover plate 3 is curved to fit the curved segment 11, thus improving aesthetics. The fixing plate 21 can be welded to the inner wall of the lower decorative panel outer plate 1; This embodiment is suitable for the case where the lower boundary of the lower door trim panel has a curved segment 11 in the structure of the lower door trim panel. It at least solves the problem of exposed lower edge of the door and poor appearance. It also avoids disassembly, reduces mold costs, simplifies disassembly and assembly, and improves production efficiency.

[0022] See Figure 5 , Figure 9Furthermore, the lower trim inner panel 2 is provided with an opening 23 for fitting the decorative cover 3, so that the assembled door lower trim panel has the decorative cover 3 on the curved section 11 of the lower trim outer panel 1 and the lower trim inner panel 2 on the straight section 12. That is, the decorative cover 3 and the flip plate 22 together wrap around the lower edge of the door.

[0023] See Figure 2 In the specific implementation process, the fixing plate 21 and the flipping plate 22 are integrally formed, and the connection between the fixing plate 21 and the flipping plate 22 is recessed from the inside to the outside to form a weakening groove 24. The flipping plate 22 rotates around the fixing plate 21 along the weakening groove 24.

[0024] It should be noted that the weakening groove 24 is provided along the length of the fixing plate 21, so that the flip plate 22 flips towards the inner wall of the lower trim outer panel 1, solving the problem of exposed lower edge trim of the door. For example, if the lower trim inner panel 2 is made of plastic and the residual thickness of the weakening groove 24 is one-third of the thickness of the lower trim inner panel 2, the flip plate 22 can be flipped along the fixing plate 21 without the need for additional connecting parts, improving aesthetics while reducing the amount of parts used, thereby reducing costs.

[0025] See Figure 7 For example, the weakening groove 24 is provided with through holes 25 for water to flow through. Specifically, there are several through holes 25, which are spaced apart along the length of the weakening groove 24.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 In the specific implementation process, the decorative cover plate 3 is connected to the lower trim panel outer plate 1. For example, the inner side wall of the decorative cover plate 3 is provided with a first buckle 31, and the inner wall of the lower trim panel outer plate 1 is provided with a first slot 13 adapted to the first buckle 31. The connection between the decorative cover plate 3 and the lower trim panel outer plate 1 is realized by the first buckle 31 being engaged in the first slot 13.

[0027] It should be noted that one end of the decorative cover plate 3 along its length abuts against the side wall of the lower trim panel 1 (i.e., the surface where the vertical side of the U-shape is located) to improve the effect of wrapping the lower side of the door.

[0028] See Figure 1It should be noted that the decorative cover plate 3 includes a first bottom wall 32 and a first side wall 33. The first bottom wall 32 is a curved surface, and the curved surface shape is adapted to the curve shape of the bottom of the lower trim panel 1. The first buckle 31 is provided on the first bottom wall 32 on the side close to the lower trim panel 1, and the first slot 13 is provided at the bottom of the lower trim panel 1 for easy assembly. The first side wall 33 is vertically connected to the upper part of the outer edge of the first bottom wall 32 and is opposite to the gap of the inner wall of the lower trim panel 1.

[0029] See Figures 1-6 In the specific implementation process, this embodiment also includes an outer door panel 4 and an inner door panel 5. The lower trim panel outer panel 1, the fixing plate 21, the outer door panel 4, and the inner door panel 5 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The outer door panel 4 is installed on the fixing plate 21, the inner door panel 5 is connected to the flip plate 22, and the inner door panel 5 is located between the flip plate 22 and the outer door panel 4.

[0030] See Figure 9 For example, the fixing plate 21 has a plug-in part 211 on the side opposite to the lower trim panel 1, and the door panel 4 has a plug hole 41 adapted to the plug-in part 211, so that the plug-in part 211 is inserted into the plug hole 41 to realize the connection between the door panel 4 and the fixing plate 21.

[0031] It should be noted that the bottom of the outer door panel 4 and the inner door panel 5 are located above the bottom of the lower trim panel 1, so that the lower trim panel 1, the decorative cover 3, and the flip plate 22 enclose the space that covers the lower part of the outer door panel 4 and the inner door panel 5.

[0032] See Figure 6 For example, the inner door panel 5 is provided with a second slot 51, and the flip plate 22 is provided with a second buckle 221. The first buckle 31 is engaged in the second slot 51 to realize the engagement between the flip plate 22 and the inner door panel 5, which facilitates assembly and disassembly. In addition, while simplifying assembly and disassembly, it improves the perceived quality of appearance, increases production efficiency, and reduces costs.

[0033] See Figures 1-3 In the specific implementation process, a sealing strip 6 is also included. The sealing strip 6 is installed on the outer wall of the flip plate 22, so that the lower trim panel of the door is installed after the vehicle body, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0034] For example, the sealing strip 6 extends to the decorative cover plate 3 and is located on the outer wall of the upper part of the decorative cover plate 3, so that the sealing strip 6 can cover the gap between the decorative cover plate 3 and the lower trim inner panel 2, which not only increases the door sealing and improves NVH performance, but also prevents the gap from being exposed and enhances the appearance.

[0035] This invention effectively solves the problem of exposed metal on the lower side panel of the car door, resulting in a poor sense of refinement. It is not limited by the shape of the car door, and at the same time improves production efficiency, reduces costs, and facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0036] Example 2 This embodiment provides a vehicle including a flip-up lower door trim panel as described in Embodiment 1, which improves the vehicle's aesthetics and production efficiency, and is easy to install and remove, thus reducing costs.
