Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a trailer hitch cover plate at the rear of a car. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for cars with towing capabilities is increasing. Currently, some users install tow hooks themselves after purchasing their cars. Since most cars do not have tow hooks, users need to modify the rear bumper by cutting it. However, this method damages the original rear bumper design, affecting its aesthetics. Other models have tow hook covers, but these covers are only connected to the lower bumper trim panel by clips, requiring tools to remove. This is not only inconvenient but also causes the plastic clips to loosen and fail after repeated removal, leading to problems such as rattling. Therefore, a new installation structure for a rear tow hook cover is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a trailer hook cover installation structure for the rear of a car, which solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing trailer hook cover connection structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A trailer hitch cover mounting structure for the rear of a car includes a lower bumper trim panel and a trailer hitch cover. The lower bumper trim panel has an installation groove, and the upper edge of the installation groove is bent to form an upper bent edge. An upper mounting groove is formed on the upper bent edge. An upper insertion part is provided on the upper inner side of the trailer hitch cover. The upper insertion part is inserted into the upper mounting groove from bottom to top. The mounting groove has side bends on its left and right sides, and side mounting grooves are provided on the side bends. The trailer hook cover has side insertion parts on its left and right sides, and the side insertion parts are inserted into the side mounting grooves. The edge of the mounting groove is detachably and fixedly connected to the trailer hook cover plate via a snap fastener.

[0005] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the lower end of the upper bent edge is provided with a guide rib, and the outer side of the guide rib is provided with a guide slope adapted to the upper insertion part.

[0006] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the upper insertion part has an L-shaped structure.

[0007] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the side insertion part has an L-shaped structure.

[0008] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the bend of the side connector is provided with a limiting part, and the limiting part cooperates with the side wall of the side bend to limit the movement.

[0009] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the edge of the mounting groove is provided with a first mounting hole, and the left and right sides of the lower part of the trailer hook cover are provided with second mounting holes, and the snap fastener is inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0010] Preferably, in conjunction with the above scheme, the left and right sides of the lower part of the mounting groove are provided with connecting parts, and the first mounting hole is provided on the connecting parts.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a car rear trailer hook cover installation structure. By setting an upper plug-in structure and a side plug-in structure in the mounting groove of the lower bumper trim panel and the trailer hook cover, and by using a snap fastener to detachably fix the lower bumper trim panel and the trailer hook cover, it not only ensures aesthetics and meets the needs of users who need to tow, but also ensures the ease of installation and removal of the trailer hook cover, avoiding the problem of repeated disassembly and failure of the snap fastener structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] like Figures 1 to 8 The diagram shows a vehicle rear trailer hitch cover mounting structure, including a lower bumper trim panel 1 and a trailer hitch cover 2. The lower bumper trim panel 1 has a mounting groove 10, and the upper edge of the mounting groove 10 is bent to form an upper bent edge 11. The upper bent edge 11 has an upper mounting groove 111. The upper inner side of the trailer hitch cover 2 has an upper insertion part 21, which is inserted into the upper mounting groove 111 from bottom to top. This structure is a Z-axis assembly structure.

[0023] The mounting groove 10 has side bends 13 on its left and right sides, and side mounting grooves 131 are provided on the side bends 13. One side opening of the side mounting groove 131 faces downward, and the other side opening of the side mounting groove 131 is opened along the width direction of the mounting groove 10 to facilitate the insertion of the side plug-in part 22 from bottom to top. The trailer hook cover plate 2 has side plug-in parts 22 on its left and right sides, and the side plug-in parts 22 are inserted into the side mounting grooves 131. This structure is a Y-direction assembly structure.

[0024] The edge of the mounting groove 10 is detachably and fixedly connected to the trailer hook cover 2 via a snap fastener 3. This structure is an X-axis assembly structure to prevent the trailer hook cover 2 from sliding out in the X direction. The snap fastener 3 facilitates installation and disassembly. During disassembly, simply remove the female snap fastener, then pull out the female snap fastener, and finally slide the trailer hook cover 2 off from top to bottom. Similarly, during assembly, the trailer hook cover 2 can be inserted into the mounting groove 10 from bottom to top, and finally the snap fastener 3 is inserted to complete the assembly.

[0025] To facilitate the insertion of the plug-in part 21 and to serve as a guide, a guide rib 12 is provided at the lower end of the upper bent edge 11, and a guide slope 121 adapted to the upper plug-in part 21 is provided on the outer side of the guide rib 12.

[0026] In order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the upper insertion part 21 into the upper assembly slot 111, the upper insertion part 21 has an L-shaped structure.

[0027] To facilitate the smooth insertion of the side connector 22 into the side assembly slot 131, the side connector 22 has an L-shaped structure.

[0028] In order to limit the insertion, a limiting part 221 is provided at the bend of the side insertion part 22, and the limiting part 221 cooperates with the side wall of the side bend 13 to limit the insertion.

[0029] To facilitate the assembly of the snap fastener 3, the edge of the mounting groove 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 141, and the left and right sides of the lower part of the trailer hook cover plate 2 are provided with a second mounting hole 23. The snap fastener 3 is inserted into the first mounting hole 141 and the second mounting hole 23.

[0030] To facilitate the opening of mounting holes on the lower decorative panel 1 of the bumper, the left and right sides of the lower part of the mounting groove 10 are provided with connecting parts 14, and the first mounting hole 141 is provided on the connecting parts 14.

[0031] Traditional clips have a limited number of disassembly and assembly cycles, and repeated disassembly can lead to clip breakage and failure. However, the new utility model of a trailer hitch cover installation structure for the rear of a car does not have the problem of clip failure. It is not only easy to assemble, but also effectively avoids the risk of the cover coming off due to X-direction force caused by the car driving through water.
