Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a face mask, a rear structure, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern automotive industry, as the design and manufacturing technology of automotive headlight covers continues to improve, the requirements for the quality and appearance of these covers are also constantly increasing. Headlight covers are primarily produced through injection molding. During production, material particles are heated and melted before being injected into a precision mold. After cooling and solidification, the mold is removed to form the cover body. The location where the molten material is injected during headlight cover production forms the gate.

[0003] Currently, in the traditional production process of automotive headlight covers, the gate of the headlight cover is often located on the surface of the cover. Even after processing such as polishing, the traces of the gate are often difficult to completely eliminate, which makes the headlight cover prone to trace lines and results in poor surface quality of the outer wall of the headlight cover. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a face mask, a rear structure, and a vehicle, which solves the problem of poor surface quality of the outer wall of the existing vehicle headlight face mask.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a face shield for assembly and connection with vehicle lighting fixtures. The face shield includes: a first cover segment having a first cover surface; a second cover segment bent and connected to the edge of the first cover segment and having a second cover surface; and an extension segment bent and connected to the edge of the second cover segment away from the first cover segment. The extension segment has a gate structure, and the extension segment and the second cover segment together form an assembly groove for vehicle body parts to enter.

[0006] Beneficial effects: The extension section is set in the second cover section, which can provide a basis for the arrangement of the gate structure, so that there is no need to set the gate on the first cover section and the second cover section. Therefore, the flatness of the first cover surface and the second cover surface can be effectively improved. Since the extension section and the second cover section together form an assembly groove, when the vehicle body parts are assembled in the assembly groove, the extension section and the gate structure thereon can be effectively shielded.

[0007] In one possible implementation of this application, the gate structure is located on the end face of the extension section opposite to the second cover section.

[0008] Beneficial effects: Setting the position of the gate structure in this way can avoid interference between the gate structure and the body parts in the assembly slot, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the mask.

[0009] In one possible implementation of this application, the wall surface of the extension forming the assembly groove is a shielding surface, and the gate structure is located on the wall surface of the extension away from the shielding surface.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Setting the position of the gate structure in this way can avoid interference between the gate structure and the body parts in the assembly slot, as well as interference between the gate structure and the body parts on one side of the extension section. Even after the body parts in the assembly slot are removed, the gate structure cannot be directly seen, further improving the concealment of the gate structure.

[0011] In one possible implementation of this application, the second cover segment extends along the first preset trajectory, the extension segment extends along the second preset trajectory, the second preset trajectory is parallel to at least a part of the first preset trajectory, and the length of the second cover segment on the first preset trajectory is greater than the length of the extension segment on the second preset trajectory.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Since the extension section mainly serves to provide a foundation for the gate structure, this type of extension section has a smaller volume, which can not only reduce the amount of material consumed during the mask manufacturing process, but also reduce the weight of the mask.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this application, the mask further includes a connecting structure for detachably connecting the extension to the vehicle body component.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The mask can be connected to adjacent body parts through the connecting structure, thereby improving its assembly stability and reliability.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this application, the connection structure is a connecting card, and the extension section is engaged with the body component via the connecting card.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The connector card has a simple and reliable structure and eliminates the need for holes in the extension section, resulting in faster assembly and easier use.

[0017] In one possible implementation of this application, the mask further includes a buffer structure, and at least one of the extension and the second mask section abuts against the vehicle body component through the buffer structure.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The buffer structure can effectively prevent the mask from directly colliding with adjacent body parts, and can form an effective buffer between the two parts, thus extending the service life of the mask.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the buffer structure includes a plurality of elastic elements, which are spaced apart on the outer wall of the extension section along the extension direction of the extension section, and / or, the plurality of elastic elements are spaced apart on the outer wall of the second cover section along the extension direction of the second cover section.

[0020] Beneficial effects: With this type of buffer structure, the individual elastic element is small in size, but it can still buffer a large area. The overall structure is simple and effective.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a tail structure having a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, comprising: a taillight assembly; the aforementioned face shield, assembled and connected to the taillight assembly; a rear bumper, disposed on one side of a second cover section along the first direction, and along the second direction, an extension of the face shield is located on one side of the rear bumper, and at least a portion of the rear bumper is located in the mounting groove of the face shield.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The rear bumper can effectively cover the extended section of the mask, and after assembly, it can make the rear structure more consistent and effectively eliminate the defects caused by the gate on the exposed part of the mask.

[0023] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, which includes: a vehicle body; the aforementioned face shield or the aforementioned rear structure, connected to the vehicle body. Attached Figure Description

Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0033] According to an embodiment of this application, in one aspect, a face shield is provided for assembly and connection with the lights of a vehicle. The face shield includes: a first shield section 1, a second shield section 2, and an extension section 3.

[0034] The first cover section 1 has a first cover surface 101; The second cover segment 2 is bent and connected to the edge of the first cover segment 1, and has a second cover surface 201; The extension section 3 is bent and connected to the edge of the second cover section 2 away from the first cover section 1. The extension section 3 has a gate structure 301. The extension section 3 and the second cover section 2 together form an assembly groove 302, which is used for vehicle body parts to enter.

[0035] In the mask of this embodiment, an extension section 3 is provided in the second cover section 2. The extension section 3 can provide a base for the arrangement of the gate structure 301, so that there is no need to set the gate on the first cover section 1 and the second cover section 2. Therefore, the flatness of the first cover surface 101 and the second cover surface 201 can be effectively improved. Since the extension section 3 and the second cover section 2 together form an assembly groove 302, when the vehicle body parts are assembled in the assembly groove 302, the extension section 3 and the gate structure 301 thereon can be effectively shielded, which effectively solves the problem of poor surface quality of the outer wall of the existing headlight mask.

[0036] Specifically, since the gate structure 301 is blocked, the grinding and fine processing steps for the gate structure 301 can be omitted in the actual production process.

[0037] It should be noted that the first cover section 1, the second cover section 2, and the extension section 3 are integral components formed by injection molding. The gate structure 301 is the residual structure formed at the injection port after the molten plastic is injected into the mold. The extension section 3 refers to the part that extends along the height direction of the vehicle. It is not strictly limited that the extension section 3 must extend along the height direction of the vehicle. It can also extend in a direction with a certain angle to the height direction of the vehicle, as long as it extends along the height direction of the vehicle as a whole.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, the specific structural form of the first cover segment 1 and the second cover segment 2 is not limited. They can be arc-shaped sheet structures, planar sheet structures, or specific curved surface structures, and can be flexibly selected according to the vehicle's lamp structure and styling requirements.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gate structure 301 is located on the end face of the extension section 3 away from the second cover section 2. Setting the position of the gate structure 301 in this way can avoid interference between the gate structure 301 and the body parts in the assembly groove 302, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the cover.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gate structure 301 is located on the end face of the second cover section 2. Compared with the gate structure 301 located on the extension section 3 facing the assembly groove 302, it can effectively avoid the gate structure 301 occupying the space inside the assembly groove 302, so that the body parts and the inner wall of the assembly groove 302 have a smaller gap without interference, and can improve the structural compactness of the mask after assembly.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the wall surface of the forming assembly groove 302 of the extension section 3 is a shielding surface 303, and the gate structure 301 is located on the wall surface of the extension section 3 away from the shielding surface 303. By setting the position of the gate structure 301 in this way, interference between the gate structure 301 and the body parts in the assembly groove 302 can be avoided, as well as interference between the gate structure 301 and the body parts on one side of the end of the extension section 3. Even after the body parts in the assembly groove 302 are removed, the gate structure 301 cannot be directly seen, further improving the concealment of the gate structure 301.

[0042] It should be noted that, in order to improve the stability of the mask molding process, the gate structure 301 is preferably located near the edge of the extension section 3.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the second cover segment 2 extends along a first preset trajectory, and the extension segment 3 extends along a second preset trajectory. The second preset trajectory is parallel to at least a portion of the first preset trajectory, and the length of the second cover segment 2 on the first preset trajectory is greater than the length of the extension segment 3 on the second preset trajectory. Since the extension segment 3 mainly serves to provide a foundation for the gate structure 301, this type of extension segment 3 has a smaller volume, which can not only reduce the amount of material consumed during the mask manufacturing process, but also reduce the weight of the mask.

[0044] Specifically, there are no restrictions on the specific dimensions of extension section 3; its length can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0045] It should be noted that the first and second preset trajectories are trajectories extending along the width of the vehicle. It is not strictly limited that the first and second preset trajectories must extend along the width of the vehicle; they can also be at a certain angle to the width of the vehicle, as long as they extend along the width of the vehicle as a whole. The specific shape of the first and second preset trajectories is not limited. They can be straight lines, curves, broken lines, or a combination of multiple shapes. They can be flexibly selected according to the needs.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the mask also includes a connecting structure for detachably connecting the extension 3 to the vehicle body component. The mask can be connected to adjacent vehicle body components through the connecting structure, thereby improving its assembly stability and reliability.

[0047] There are no restrictions on the specific type of connection structure. It can be a connection structure in the form of a fixing clip, connecting bolt, connecting pin, etc., as long as it is easy to use and can provide a stable connection.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the connection structure is a connecting card. The extension section 3 is engaged with the body parts through the connecting card. The connecting card structure is simple and reliable and does not require holes to be made in the extension section 3, making the assembly faster and easier to use.

[0049] It should be noted that the specific structure of the connection card can be referenced from the existing connection card structure, which is not shown in the attached figure and will not be elaborated on here.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the mask also includes a buffer structure. At least one of the extension section 3 and the second cover section 2 abuts against the vehicle body component through the buffer structure. The buffer structure can effectively prevent the mask from directly colliding with the adjacent vehicle body component and can form an effective buffer between the two components, thereby improving the service life of the mask.

[0051] Specifically, there are no restrictions on the specific type of cushioning structure; it can be a rubber pad, nylon pad, aerogel pad, etc., as long as it can provide a cushioning effect.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the buffer structure includes multiple elastic elements. The multiple elastic elements are spaced apart on the outer wall of the extension section 3 along the extension direction of the extension section 3, and the multiple elastic elements are spaced apart on the outer wall of the second cover section 2 along the extension direction of the second cover section 2. Using this type of buffer structure, the individual elastic elements are small in volume, but can still buffer a large area. The overall structure is simple and effective.

[0053] There is no limit to the specific number of elastic components; there can be two, three, four, or more, depending on the size and quantity of the surrounding vehicle body parts.

[0054] According to an embodiment of this application, in another aspect, a tail structure is provided having a first direction X and a second direction Y that are perpendicular to each other, which includes: a taillight assembly, the aforementioned faceplate, and a rear bumper 4.

[0055] The face mask is assembled and connected to the taillight assembly; the rear bumper 4 is disposed on one side of the second cover section 2 along the first direction X, and the extension section 3 of the face mask is located on one side of the rear bumper 4 along the second direction Y, and at least a portion of the rear bumper 4 is located in the mounting groove 302 of the face mask.

[0056] By using this type of rear structure, the extension section 3 of the face mask can be effectively covered by the rear bumper 4. After assembly, the rear structure can have a higher degree of consistency, effectively eliminating the defects caused by the gate on the exposed part of the face mask.

[0057] The first direction refers to Figure 6 The direction of the "X" indicated by the middle arrow is firstly the vehicle's height, and secondly... Figure 6 The direction of "Y" indicated by the middle arrow is also the length direction of the vehicle. It should be understood that the introduction of the first direction X and the second direction Y is merely for the convenience of describing spatial relationships and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, the perpendicular relationship between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be interpreted, depending on the actual technical scenario, as the first direction X and the second direction Y representing two mutually perpendicular directions in three-dimensional space, or reasonably interpreted as a nearly perpendicular directional relationship between the first direction X and the second direction Y, for example, the included angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y being within the range of 85°-95°… Any technical solution that conforms to the spirit of this utility model or achieves the technical effects described in this utility model can be considered to fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0058] According to an embodiment of this application, in another aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising: one of the above-described face mask and the above-described rear structure, and a vehicle body, wherein the face mask or the rear structure is connected to the vehicle body.

[0059] This application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle, an MPV, or other types of vehicles. Generally, a vehicle is equipped with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate and thus driving the vehicle.

[0060] It should be noted that the type of power source of the vehicle is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, for fuel vehicles, the power source can refer to fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines; for electric vehicles, the power source can refer to electric motors; for hybrid vehicles, the power source can refer to engines or electric motors; for vehicles powered by other means, the power source can refer to devices that generate power.

The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on 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.
