[0029] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] The terms "first," "second," and "third" used in the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0031] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] In the prior art, the sheet metal of the vehicle body component includes a plate and a wheel cover set on the outside of the bumper. The plate and the wheel cover are connected. Since the wheel cover and the plate are usually indirectly connected by brackets or other connecting structures, the connection between the wheel cover and the sheet metal is complicated. Therefore, how to directly connect the wheel cover and the plate is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0033] In the prior art, the plate and wheel cover are connected by a bracket. Since the wheel cover is fastened to the bracket and then connected to the plate by screws and / or snaps, on the one hand, when the vehicle is involved in a collision, the bracket is easily damaged, causing the wheel cover to fall off easily; on the other hand, the mounting bracket is long and narrow, which can cause injection molding deformation, making it difficult to install the wheel cover and plate; furthermore, the long cantilever of the connection between the bracket and the plate results in insufficient strength, which in turn affects the connection strength between the bracket and the plate.

[0034] To solve the above technical problems, refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, this application provides a vehicle body assembly, which includes a wheel cover 100 and a first plate 200. The wheel cover 100 includes a first cover 110, which includes a first arcuate edge 111, forming a first locking hole 1111. The first plate 200 includes a first main body 210 and a second arcuate edge 220, which is connected to the first main body 210 and protrudes from the first main body 210 along a first direction X1. The second arcuate edge 220 is provided with a second locking hole 221. The second arcuate edge 220 and the first arcuate edge 111 abut against each other in a second direction X2 perpendicular to the first direction X1, so that the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 correspond. A first locking member 300 is inserted into the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 to connect the first cover 110 and the first main body 210. A first locking hole 1111 is formed on the first arc-shaped edge 111 and a second locking hole 221 is formed on the second arc-shaped edge 220. The first locking member 300 is inserted into the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 to connect the first cover 110 and the first main body 210. Compared with the prior art, there is no need for a bracket connection, which avoids the wheel cover 100 from falling off due to easy damage to the bracket, and also avoids the problems of bracket injection molding deformation and excessively long connecting cantilever. This design, by setting a first arc-shaped edge 111 and a second arc-shaped edge 220, and forming locking holes on the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the second arc-shaped edge 220, allows the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 to align in the second direction X2, so that the connection structure between the first cover 110 and the first plate 200 is hidden outside the vehicle body. At the same time, the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 can reduce the difficulty of opening the locking hole and improve the structural strength of the locking hole, thereby further increasing the connection strength of the first locking member 300. The mutual abutment of the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 also facilitates the connection and installation of the first cover 110 and the first main body 210.

[0035] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first cover 110 is used to house the tire. The first cover 110 is arc-shaped, and the first arc-shaped edge 111 is located on the side of the first cover 110 facing outwards from the vehicle body. The first plate 200 can be an outer skin on any part of the vehicle body. Specifically, the first plate 200 can be configured as the outer skin of the lower bumper. The first main body 210 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 are an integral structure. The first locking hole 1111, the second locking hole 221, and the first locking member 300 correspond one-to-one. The number of the first locking hole 1111, the second locking hole 221, and the first locking member 300 can be set to one or more, depending on the actual situation. The first locking member 300 is a bolt. One of the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 is a threaded hole, or both the first locking hole 1111 and the second locking hole 221 are through holes. The first locking member 300 is fastened by a washer, nut, or other threaded fastener.

[0036] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction X1, the second direction X2, and the third direction X3 are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X1 is the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the second direction X2 is the front-back direction of the vehicle body, and the third direction X3 is the vertical direction of the vehicle body.

[0037] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first plate 200 also includes a first protrusion 240 connecting the second arc-shaped edge 220. The first protrusion 240 protrudes from the side of the second arc-shaped edge 220 away from the first main body 210 along the first direction X1. The width of the first protrusion 240 in the circumferential direction of the second arc-shaped edge 220 is smaller than the width of the second arc-shaped edge 220. The second locking hole 221 is provided on both the second arc-shaped edge 220 and the first protrusion 240. The first protrusion 240 can increase the height of part of the second arc-shaped edge 220 in the first direction X1, so that the locking hole on the first arc-shaped edge 111 has a larger setting space, and a larger diameter locking hole can be formed, thereby allowing the insertion of a first locking member 300 with a larger diameter, and thus increasing the connection strength between the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the second arc-shaped edge 220.

[0038] In one specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first protrusions 240 are spaced apart on the second arc-shaped edge 220. A retaining spring is provided on the first protrusions 240 to reduce the risk of loosening between the first plate 200 and the first cover 110. The height of the first protrusions 240 can be set according to the diameter of the second locking holes 221. The first protrusions 240, the second arc-shaped edge 220, and the first main body 210 can be integrated into a single structure. This design allows for the provision of multiple first protrusions 240, thereby forming multiple second locking holes 221. Correspondingly, multiple first locking holes 1111 are formed on the first arc-shaped edge 111, creating a corresponding connection structure between the multiple first locking holes 1111 and the second locking holes 221. This increases the connection points between the first plate 200 and the first cover 110, further enhancing the connection strength between them.

[0039] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the wheel cover 100 includes a second cover 120 connected to the first cover 110. The second cover 120 extends along a second direction X2 toward one side of the first plate 200, and forms a third locking hole 121. The first plate 200 includes a second main body 250 and a connecting part 260. The second main body 250 is connected to the first main body 210 and protrudes from the first main body 210 along a first direction X1. The connecting part 260 connects the second main body 250 to the second cover. The second cover 120 is protruding, and the connecting part 260 forms a fourth locking hole 261. The connecting part 260 abuts against the second cover 120 in the third direction X3, so that the fourth locking hole 261 corresponds to the third locking hole 121. The third direction X3, the second direction X2, and the first direction X1 are perpendicular to each other. The vehicle body assembly also includes a second locking member 400, which is inserted into the third locking hole 121 and the fourth locking hole 261 to connect the second cover 120 to the second main body 250. This design can form connection points at different locations in multiple directions between the first arc-shaped edge 111 of the first cover 110 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 of the first plate 200, and between the second cover 120 and the connecting part 260, thereby increasing the number of connection points between the wheel cover 100 and the first plate 200, and connecting the wheel cover 100 and the first plate 200 from different directions, thereby increasing the connection strength between the first plate 200 and the wheel cover 100.

[0040] In one specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, the second main body 250 is located below the first main body 210. In the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the second main body 250 bends inward to form a reverse wrap structure at the bottom of the vehicle body. The second main body 250 of the first plate 200 can protect the bottom of the vehicle body. At the same time, the connecting part 260 provided on the second main body 250 forms a new connection point with the second cover 120. Together with the connection point between the first arc-shaped edge 111 of the first cover 110 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 of the first plate 200, the number of connection points between the first plate 200 and the wheel cover 100 is increased, and the connection strength between the two is further increased.

[0041] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the first arc-shaped edge 111 forms a fifth locking hole 1112; the vehicle body assembly also includes a second plate 500, which includes a third main body 510 and a third arc-shaped edge 520. The third main body 510 is connected to the first main body 210 in a third direction X3. The third arc-shaped edge 520 is connected to the third main body 510 and protrudes from the third main body 510 in a first direction X1. The third arc-shaped edge 520 is provided with a sixth locking hole 521. The third arc-shaped edge 520 and the first arc-shaped edge 111 abut against each other in a second direction X2 so that the fifth locking hole 1112 and the sixth locking hole 521 correspond; the vehicle body assembly also includes a third locking member 600, which is inserted into the fifth locking hole 1112 and the sixth locking hole 521 so that the first cover 110 is connected to the third main body 510. The third main body 510 connects to the first main body 210 in the third direction X3, forming a flush outer surface on the vehicle body and increasing the vehicle body coverage. A fifth locking hole 1112 is formed on the first arc-shaped edge 111 and a sixth locking hole 521 is formed on the third arc-shaped edge 520. The third locking member 600 is inserted into the fifth locking hole 1112 and the sixth locking hole 521 to connect the first cover 110 and the third main body 510. Compared with the prior art, it does not require a bracket connection, avoiding the wheel cover 100 from falling off due to bracket damage, and also avoiding the problems of bracket injection molding deformation and excessively long connecting cantilever. This design, by setting a first arc-shaped edge 111 and a third arc-shaped edge 520, and forming locking holes on the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the third arc-shaped edge 520, allows the fifth locking hole 1112 and the sixth locking hole 521 to align in the second direction X2, so that the connection structure between the first cover 110 and the second plate 500 is hidden outside the vehicle body. At the same time, the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 can reduce the difficulty of opening the locking holes and improve the structural strength of the locking holes, thereby further increasing the connection strength of the third locking member 600. The mutual abutment of the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 also facilitates the connection and installation of the first cover 110 and the third main body 510.

[0042] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second plate 500 also includes a fourth protrusion, which is located on one side of the third main body 510 away from the third arc-shaped edge 520. The fourth protrusion is spaced apart circumferentially on the third arc-shaped edge 520. A sixth locking hole 521 is provided on both the third arc-shaped edge 520 and the fourth protrusion. The structure formed by the fourth protrusion and the third arc-shaped edge 520 is substantially the same as the structure formed by the first protrusion 240 and the second arc-shaped edge 220.

[0043] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6As shown, the second arc-shaped edge 220 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 correspond to each other. On the first cover 110, the second arc-shaped edge 220 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 are connected sequentially along the circumference of the first arc-shaped edge 111. The second plate 500 can be an outer skin at any part of the vehicle body. Specifically, the first plate 200 can be configured as the outer skin of the upper bumper. The third main body 510 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 are an integral structure. The fifth locking hole 1112, the sixth locking hole 521, and the third locking member 600 correspond one-to-one. The number of the fifth locking hole 1112, the sixth locking hole 521, and the third locking member 600 can be set to one or more, depending on the actual situation.

[0044] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the first plate 200 also includes a first reinforcing part 230. The first reinforcing part 230 is disposed between the first main body 210 and the second arc-shaped edge 220 in the first direction X1. In the second direction X2, the thickness of the first reinforcing part 230 is greater than the thickness of the second arc-shaped edge 220. The first reinforcing part 230 abuts against the first arc-shaped edge 111 in the first direction X1. The first reinforcing part 230 is used to increase the connection strength between the first main body 210 and the second arc-shaped edge 220, thereby increasing the connection stability between the first plate 200 and the first cover 110. By having the second arc-shaped edge 220 abut against the first arc-shaped edge 111 in the second direction X2, and the first reinforcing part 230 abut against the first arc-shaped edge 111 in the first direction X1, the first plate 200 provides a limiting effect on the first cover 110 in both the first direction X1 and the second direction X2, which facilitates the installation of the first cover 110 and increases the installation stability of the first cover 110.

[0045] In one specific implementation, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the increased thickness of the first reinforcing part 230 in the second direction X2 directly improves the local rigidity of the second plate 500, reduces the length of the connecting cantilever, and reduces the risk of structural deformation or fracture during a collision. Due to the abutting design between the first reinforcing part 230 and the first arc-shaped edge 111, the number of parts is further reduced, improving assembly efficiency and overall product strength.

[0046] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6As shown, the second plate 500 also includes a second reinforcing portion 530, which is disposed between the third main body portion 510 and the third arc-shaped edge 520. In the second direction X2, the thickness of the second reinforcing portion 530 is greater than the thickness of the third arc-shaped edge 520. The second reinforcing portion 530 abuts against the first arc-shaped edge 111 in the first direction X1. The second reinforcing portion 530 is used to increase the connection strength between the third main body portion 510 and the third arc-shaped edge 520, thereby increasing the connection stability between the second plate 500 and the first cover 110. By having the first arc-shaped edge 111 and the third arc-shaped edge 520 abut against each other in the second direction X2, and the second reinforcing portion 530 and the first arc-shaped edge 111 abut against each other in the first direction X1, the second plate 500 provides a limiting effect on the first cover 110 in both the first direction X1 and the second direction X2, which facilitates the installation of the first cover 110 and increases the installation stability of the first cover 110.

[0047] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first plate 200 includes a first connecting edge 270 that is angled to the first main body 210, and a buckle 280 that is connected to the side of the first connecting edge 270 away from the first main body 210; the second plate 500 includes a second connecting edge 540 that is angled to the third main body 510, and a snap-fit ​​portion 550 that is connected to the side of the second connecting edge 540 away from the third main body 510; wherein the first connecting edge 270 and the second connecting edge 540 both extend along the second direction X2, the first connecting edge 270 abuts against the second connecting edge 540, and the buckle 280 snaps into the snap-fit ​​portion 550 to connect the first main body 210 and the third main body 510. After the first connecting edge 270 and the second connecting edge 540 abut together, the buckle 280 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​part 550. This design enables the first main body part 210 and the third main body part 510 to play a positioning role during connection, which facilitates the subsequent further connection of the first main body part 210 and the third main body part 510. Furthermore, the mutual snapping of the buckle 280 and the snap-fit ​​part 550 can also increase the connection stability of the first plate 200 and the second plate 500.

[0048] In one specific implementation, refer to Figure 7As shown, the first connecting edge 270 is set at an angle to the first main body 210, and the second connecting edge 540 is set at an angle to the third main body 510. Specifically, the angle between the first connecting edge 270 and the first main body 210 is 90 degrees, and the angle between the second connecting edge 540 and the third main body 510 is 90 degrees, to optimize structural stability and facilitate the assembly alignment of the first connecting edge 270 and the second connecting edge 540. A snap-fit ​​280 is connected to the side of the first connecting edge 270 facing away from the first main body 210, and can be made of thermoplastic elastomer material, allowing it to elastically deform and snap into the snap-fit ​​part 550 during assembly. The snap-fit ​​mechanism between the snap-fit ​​280 and the snap-fit ​​part 550 enables rapid assembly, effectively solving the difficulties in hole alignment and the risk of misinstallation caused by misaligned mounting holes in traditional installation processes, significantly improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. This snap-fit ​​structure provides more stable connection strength in collision scenarios, reducing the possibility of the rear bumper detaching and preventing vehicle body damage.

[0049] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the snap-fit ​​portion 550 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 551, and a second snap-fit ​​plate 552 and a third snap-fit ​​plate 553 disposed on both sides of the first snap-fit ​​plate 551. The second snap-fit ​​plate 552 and the third snap-fit ​​plate 553 extend from the first snap-fit ​​plate 551 toward the third main body portion 510, respectively. The first snap-fit ​​plate 551, the second snap-fit ​​plate 552 and the third snap-fit ​​plate 553 together form a groove 554. The second snap-fit ​​plate 552 is connected to the second connecting edge 540, and the first snap-fit ​​plate 551 forms a snap-fit ​​groove 555 communicating with the groove 554. Among them, a portion of the first connecting edge 270 is inserted into the groove 554, and the buckle 280 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 555. This design enables the simultaneous engagement of the first connecting edge 270 with the groove 554 and the engagement of the buckle 280 with the engagement slot 555. This design increases the stability of the engagement and allows for initial engagement and fixation through the engagement of the first connecting edge 270 with the groove 554, facilitating further engagement of the buckle 280 with the engagement slot 555.

[0050] In one specific implementation, combined with Figures 7 to 9 As shown, during the assembly process, a portion of the first connecting edge 270 is inserted into the groove 554, while the snap fastener 280 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 555 for fixation. The snap-fit ​​part 550 can be manufactured using a high-strength polypropylene injection molding process to ensure structural strength and cost control; the depth of the groove 554 and the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 555 can be adjusted to accommodate connecting edges of different thicknesses, improving the adaptability of the connection.

[0051] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 7 to 9As shown, the first plate 200 further includes a second protrusion 290, which protrudes from the first connecting edge 270 toward the side opposite to the first main body 210, forming a seventh locking hole 291. The second plate 500 further includes a third protrusion 560, which protrudes from the second connecting edge 540 toward the side opposite to the third main body 510, forming an eighth locking hole 561. A fourth locking member 700 is inserted into the seventh locking hole 291 and the eighth locking hole 561 to connect the first main body 210 and the third main body 510. The seventh locking hole 291 and the eighth locking hole 561 can increase the connection points between the first main body 210 and the third main body 510, further increasing the connection strength between the first plate 200 and the second plate 500. It also facilitates the adjustment of the locking hole diameter. When the hole diameter is large enough, the locking hole can be extended to the connecting edge to increase the diameter of the locking part and further increase the connection strength.

[0052] In one specific implementation, combined with Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the second protrusion 290 of the first plate 200 protrudes from the first connecting edge 270 in a direction away from the first main body 210, and a seventh locking hole 291 is formed on this protrusion. The third protrusion 560 of the second plate 500 protrudes from the second connecting edge 540 in a direction away from the third main body 510, and an eighth locking hole 561 is formed on this protrusion. The fourth locking member 700 can be inserted into the seventh locking hole 291 and the eighth locking hole 561, thereby connecting the first main body 210 and the third main body 510. For example, the second protrusion 290 can be a boss structure formed by injection molding on the edge of the rear bumper body, and the seventh locking hole 291 is directly set on the surface of the boss by a mold; the third protrusion 560 can be a corresponding boss on the edge of the wheel cover 100, and the eighth locking hole 561 is formed at the boss position by stamping or injection molding, and the material can be engineering plastic or metal sheet.

[0053] In this application, the first locking member 300, the second locking member 400, the third locking member 600, and the fourth locking member 700 are bolts. Any one of the first locking hole 1111, the second locking hole 221, the third locking hole 121, the fourth locking hole 261, the fifth locking hole 1112, the sixth locking hole 521, the seventh locking hole 291, and the eighth locking hole 561 can be a threaded hole, or the first locking hole 1111, the second locking hole 221, the third locking hole 121, the fourth locking hole 261, the fifth locking hole 1112, the sixth locking hole 521, the seventh locking hole 291, and the eighth locking hole 561 are all through holes. The locking members are fastened by threads such as washers and nuts.

[0054] In this application, the above design realizes the connection between the first plate 200 and the second plate 500, the connection between the first plate 200 and the wheel cover 100, and the connection between the second plate 500 and the wheel cover 100. Compared with the prior art, the bracket is reduced, thereby reducing the number of parts, improving assembly efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0055] This application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body assembly.

[0056] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
