Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular to an exterior component mounting structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vehicle exterior parts are typically produced using injection molding. The principle is to fill the mold cavity with molten plastic through the gate, and after the plastic cools and solidifies, it forms the exterior part. To meet the assembly requirements of the exterior part with the vehicle body or other components, metal mounting parts (such as clips, screw seats or inserts) need to be installed on the exterior part.

[0003] In related technologies, there are two main ways to install metal mounting parts on exterior trim parts: one is to directly glue the metal mounting parts to the surface of the exterior trim parts; the other is to add a support structure (such as a base, insert groove, etc.) to the outer surface of the exterior trim parts, and then assemble the metal mounting parts onto the support structure to ensure sufficient connection strength.

[0004] However, since the contact area between metal mounting parts and exterior trim parts is usually small, the fastening force of the metal mounting parts to the exterior trim parts is insufficient. Furthermore, during the injection molding process, when the plastic cools and shrinks, the shrinkage rate of the thick-walled area is higher than that of the thin-walled area. If a support structure is added to the exterior trim parts, it will lead to uneven wall thickness of the exterior trim parts. After the plastic cools and shrinks, defects such as shrinkage marks and dents will be formed on the surface of the exterior trim parts, affecting the consistency of the surface gloss of the exterior trim parts. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide an exterior trim mounting structure and a vehicle to solve the technical problem that metal mounting parts are inconvenient to install on exterior trim parts.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an exterior trim mounting structure for mounting exterior trim to the body of a vehicle, the exterior trim mounting structure comprising: Mounting bracket with adhesive reservoir; An adhesive is disposed in the adhesive reservoir, and the adhesive connects at least the mounting bracket and the exterior trim piece; Metal parts, connected to the mounting bracket; The metal part has a first side facing the exterior trim, and the adhesive has a first adhesive surface that connects to the exterior trim, the area of ​​the first adhesive surface being larger than the area of ​​the first side.

[0007] Thus, when it is necessary to install exterior parts onto the vehicle body, adhesive can first be filled into the adhesive groove, and the mounting bracket can be pressed onto the exterior part. The groove end of the adhesive groove abuts against the surface of the exterior part. After the adhesive cures, it forms an adhesive body. The groove end of the adhesive groove can limit the area of ​​the first bonding surface. The adhesive body can bond with the mounting bracket, and the first bonding surface can bond with the exterior part. This allows the mounting bracket to be fixed to the exterior part through the adhesive body, so that the metal parts can be easily fixed to the exterior parts. Finally, the metal parts are connected to the vehicle body, so that the exterior parts can be assembled onto the vehicle body through the exterior part mounting structure.

[0008] Since the area of ​​the first bonding surface of the adhesive is larger than the area of ​​the first side of the metal part, the bonding area between the adhesive and the exterior part can be increased by setting the mounting bracket, so that the metal part can be fixed to the exterior part with sufficient fastening force. Furthermore, by setting the mounting bracket, there is no need to add a support structure to the outer surface of the exterior part, which can avoid affecting the consistency of the surface gloss of the exterior part.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the mounting bracket also has an assembly hole that communicates with the adhesive groove. The metal part passes through the assembly hole, with one end of the metal part located in the adhesive groove and the other end of the metal part located on the side of the mounting bracket facing away from the outer trim. The adhesive is connected to the metal part.

[0010] In this way, the adhesive is filled into the adhesive reservoir, and the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim. After the adhesive cures and forms an adhesive body, the adhesive body can bond the exterior trim, mounting bracket, and metal parts together. The adhesive reservoir on the mounting bracket can hold more adhesive, resulting in a larger adhesive body, which increases the bonding area between the adhesive body and the exterior trim, allowing the mounting bracket to be bonded to the exterior trim more stably. At the same time, the adhesive body can bond the metal parts to the mounting bracket, allowing the metal parts to be fixed to the mounting bracket more stably.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the bottom surface of the adhesive container has a limiting groove, the limiting groove is connected to the adhesive container, and the assembly hole is connected to the limiting groove; The metal part includes a main body and an abutment part that are connected to each other. The main body is inserted through the mounting hole, and the end of the main body away from the abutment part is located on the side of the mounting bracket facing away from the outer trim. The abutment part is located in the limiting groove and abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove. The adhesive is connected to the abutment part.

[0012] Thus, before filling the adhesive reservoir with adhesive, the main body can be inserted through the mounting hole and the abutment part can be placed in the limiting groove, so that the abutment part abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove, allowing the metal part to be assembled onto the mounting bracket. Then, the adhesive is filled into the adhesive reservoir, and the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim. After the adhesive cures and forms an adhesive body, the adhesive body can bond the exterior trim, mounting bracket, and metal part together. Since the projected area of ​​the abutment part in the axial direction of the mounting hole is larger than the projected area of ​​the main body in the axial direction of the mounting hole, the bonding area between the adhesive body and the metal part can be increased, making the metal part bonded to the mounting bracket more firmly, and the metal part bonded to the exterior trim more firmly as well.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the abutting part abuts against the side of the limiting groove to prevent the abutting part from rotating within the limiting groove.

[0014] Understandably, after the adhesive is filled into the adhesive reservoir and the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim, the abutting part abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove, and the exterior trim can prevent the abutting part from moving away from the mounting hole to a certain extent. Thus, before the adhesive cures, the metal part can be prevented from moving axially along the mounting hole.

[0015] In this way, after the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim, it can prevent the metal part from moving axially along the mounting hole and also prevent the metal part from rotating around the axis of the mounting hole, so that the metal part can be stably fixed on the mounting bracket before the adhesive cures.

[0016] As an optional implementation, the end of the main body away from the abutment portion has a connecting hole for connection with a bolt on the vehicle body.

[0017] In this way, the connecting holes can be threaded onto bolts on the vehicle body, allowing metal parts to be fixed to the vehicle body, thus making it easy to install exterior parts onto the vehicle body.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the exterior trim mounting structure further includes an adhesive tape, which is disposed within the adhesive groove and connects the metal part to the mounting bracket, as well as the exterior trim.

[0019] In this way, the tape can be placed in the adhesive reservoir. After the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim, the tape can connect the metal part and the mounting bracket, and the tape can also connect to the exterior trim. Thus, before the adhesive cures, the tape can connect the metal part, the mounting bracket, and the exterior trim together, preventing the three parts from becoming loose. Furthermore, during the adhesive curing process, it can prevent the metal part and the mounting bracket from detaching from the exterior trim.

[0020] As an optional implementation, the mounting bracket also has a positioning groove, which communicates with the adhesive groove, and the direction of the positioning groove toward the assembly hole is a first direction; Wherein, at least a portion of the tape is located within the positioning groove, and the tape extends along the first direction to connect the tape to the metal part.

[0021] Thus, during the process of placing the tape component in the adhesive container, a portion of the tape component can be placed in the positioning groove first. The positioning groove can play a positioning role to guide the tape component to be laid in the adhesive container along the first direction, so that the tape component can extend to connect with the metal component. It is very convenient to place the tape component in the adhesive container and ensure that the tape component can connect with the metal component and the mounting bracket.

[0022] As an alternative implementation, the mounting bracket is made of plastic, and the metal component is embedded in the mounting bracket.

[0023] Thus, when manufacturing the mounting bracket through injection molding, the metal part can be placed in the mold cavity of the mounting bracket, molten plastic is filled into the mold cavity, and the mounting bracket is formed after the plastic cools and solidifies. The metal part is then embedded in the mounting bracket, so that the metal part and the mounting bracket can form a whole.

[0024] As an optional implementation, one of the exterior trim and the mounting bracket has a protrusion, and the other of the exterior trim and the mounting bracket has a groove, with the protrusion inserted into the groove.

[0025] Thus, the mounting bracket has a groove and the exterior trim has a protrusion. After the mounting bracket is pressed onto the exterior trim, the protrusion is inserted into the groove, which can play a positioning role. While waiting for the adhesive to cure, it can prevent the mounting bracket and the exterior trim from becoming loose, so that the adhesive layer formed after curing can better bond the mounting bracket and the exterior trim together.

[0026] Secondly, this application also provides a vehicle, including an exterior trim piece, a vehicle body, and the aforementioned exterior trim piece mounting structure, wherein the exterior trim piece is mounted to the vehicle body via the exterior trim piece mounting structure.

[0027] The vehicle provided in this application adopts the aforementioned exterior component mounting structure, which allows the exterior components to be easily installed on the vehicle body, and the vehicle has good performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0031] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0032] Exterior trim pieces are components such as grilles, trim strips, and surrounds that are installed on a vehicle. Located on the exterior of the vehicle, exterior trim pieces serve a decorative purpose and enhance the vehicle's appearance. The consistency of the surface gloss of exterior trim pieces is particularly important. Inconsistent gloss can directly reduce the perceived quality of the vehicle, and consumers may mistakenly believe that the vehicle has assembly defects or uses cheap materials.

[0033] Exterior trim parts are typically produced using injection molding, which involves filling molten plastic into the mold cavity through a gate. After the plastic cools and solidifies, the exterior trim part is formed. To meet the assembly requirements of the exterior trim part with the car body or other components, metal mounting parts (such as clips, screw seats, or inserts) need to be installed on the exterior trim part.

[0034] In related technologies, there are two main ways to install metal mounting parts on exterior trim parts: one is to directly glue the metal mounting parts to the surface of the exterior trim parts; the other is to add a support structure (such as a base, insert groove, etc.) to the outer surface of the exterior trim parts, and then assemble the metal mounting parts onto the support structure to ensure sufficient connection strength.

[0035] However, since the contact area between metal mounting parts and exterior trim parts is usually small, the fastening force of the metal mounting parts to the exterior trim parts is insufficient. Furthermore, during the injection molding process, when the plastic cools and shrinks, the shrinkage rate of the thick-walled area is higher than that of the thin-walled area. If a support structure is added to the exterior trim parts, it will lead to uneven wall thickness of the exterior trim parts. After the plastic cools and shrinks, defects such as shrinkage marks and dents will be formed on the surface of the exterior trim parts, affecting the consistency of the surface gloss of the exterior trim parts.

[0036] Based on this, this application provides an exterior trim mounting structure and a vehicle. The metal part 4 is connected to a mounting bracket 2, and the mounting bracket 2 has an adhesive groove 21. Adhesive can be filled into the adhesive groove 21, and the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the exterior trim 1. After the adhesive cures, an adhesive body 3 is formed. The adhesive body 3 connects the mounting bracket 2 and the exterior trim 1, allowing the metal part 4 to be easily fixed to the exterior trim 1. Since the area of ​​the first adhesive surface 31 of the adhesive body 3 is larger than the area of ​​the first side surface 421 of the metal part 4, the mounting bracket 2 increases the bonding area between the adhesive body 3 and the exterior trim 1, providing sufficient fastening force to fix the metal part 4 to the exterior trim 1. Furthermore, by using the mounting bracket 2, there is no need to add a support structure to the outer surface of the exterior trim 1, thus avoiding affecting the uniformity of the surface gloss of the exterior trim 1. Additionally, the metal part 4 can be connected to the vehicle body, allowing the exterior trim 1 to be assembled onto the vehicle body via the exterior trim mounting structure.

[0037] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the exterior trim installation structure provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure in which the adhesive is disposed in the adhesive container according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the mounting bracket provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the metal part provided in the embodiment of this application.

[0039] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an exterior trim installation structure for installing an exterior trim 1 onto the vehicle body. The exterior trim installation structure includes a mounting bracket 2, an adhesive 3, and a metal part 4. The mounting bracket 2 has an adhesive groove 21, and the adhesive 3 is disposed in the adhesive groove 21. The adhesive 3 connects the mounting bracket 2 to the exterior trim 1 at least. The metal part 4 is connected to the mounting bracket 2. The metal part 4 has a first side surface 421 facing the exterior trim 1, and the adhesive 3 has a first adhesive surface 31 that connects to the exterior trim 1. The area of ​​the first adhesive surface 31 is larger than the area of ​​the first side surface 421.

[0040] Optionally, the mounting bracket 2 has a first outer surface and a second outer surface arranged opposite to each other. The first outer surface is provided with an adhesive groove 21. The metal part 4 is connected to the second outer surface. A support structure can be integrally formed on the second outer surface, and the metal part 4 is connected to the support structure.

[0041] Adhesives can be silicone adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, and acrylic soft adhesives, etc. The adhesive is based on a soft and elastic substrate. After curing, the adhesive layer formed has softness and a certain degree of elasticity, can absorb impact energy, and is not easy to crack or fall off.

[0042] When it is necessary to install the exterior trim 1 onto the vehicle body, the adhesive can first be filled into the adhesive groove 21, and the mounting bracket 2 can be pressed onto the exterior trim 1. The groove end of the adhesive groove 21 abuts against the surface of the exterior trim 1. After the adhesive cures, it forms an adhesive body 3. The groove end of the adhesive groove 21 can limit the area of ​​the first bonding surface 31. The adhesive body 3 can bond with the mounting bracket 2, and the first bonding surface 31 can bond with the exterior trim 1. This allows the mounting bracket 2 to be fixed to the exterior trim 1 through the adhesive body 3. Thus, the metal part 4 can be easily fixed to the exterior trim 1. Finally, the metal part 4 is connected to the vehicle body, so that the exterior trim 1 can be assembled onto the vehicle body through the exterior trim mounting structure.

[0043] Since the area of ​​the first bonding surface 31 of the adhesive 3 is larger than the area of ​​the first side surface 421 of the metal part 4, the bonding area between the adhesive 3 and the outer trim 1 can be increased by setting the mounting bracket 2, so that the metal part 4 can be fixed to the outer trim 1 with sufficient fastening force. Furthermore, by setting the mounting bracket 2, there is no need to add a support structure to the outer surface of the outer trim 1, which can avoid affecting the consistency of the surface gloss of the outer trim 1.

[0044] It is understandable that when there is no adhesive groove 21 on the mounting bracket 2, if the metal part 4 is to be bonded to the exterior part 1, the adhesive 3 needs to be placed between the first side surface 421 and the exterior part 1. At this time, the bonding area of ​​the adhesive 3 will not be greater than the area of ​​the first side surface 421. In this embodiment of the application, by setting the mounting bracket 2, the adhesive 3 is placed between the mounting bracket 2 and the exterior part 1, and bonded to the exterior part 1 through the first bonding surface 31. The area of ​​the first bonding surface 31 is greater than the area of ​​the first side surface 421, which can increase the bonding area between the adhesive 3 and the exterior part 1.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 2 also has an assembly hole 22, which communicates with the adhesive groove 21. The metal part 4 passes through the assembly hole 22, and one end of the metal part 4 is located in the adhesive groove 21, while the other end of the metal part 4 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 2 facing away from the outer trim 1. The adhesive 3 is connected to the metal part 4.

[0046] Optionally, the mounting bracket 2 has a first outer surface and a second outer surface arranged opposite to each other. The first outer surface is provided with an adhesive groove 21, and the second outer surface is provided with an assembly hole 22. The assembly hole 22 penetrates the bottom surface of the adhesive groove 21, so that the assembly hole 22 communicates with the adhesive groove 21. The metal part 4 can be inserted into the assembly hole 22. Preferably, the metal part 4 is interference-fitted with the assembly hole 22, so that the metal part 4 can be fixed on the mounting bracket 2. One end of the metal part 4 is located in the adhesive groove 21, and the other end of the metal part 4 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 2 facing away from the outer trim 1.

[0047] Thus, the adhesive is filled into the adhesive reservoir 21, and the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the exterior trim 1. After the adhesive cures to form the adhesive body 3, the adhesive body 3 can bond the exterior trim 1, the mounting bracket 2, and the metal part 4 together. The adhesive reservoir 21 on the mounting bracket 2 can hold more adhesive, making the formed adhesive body 3 larger, which can increase the bonding area between the adhesive body 3 and the exterior trim 1, so that the mounting bracket 2 can be bonded to the exterior trim 1 more stably. At the same time, the adhesive body 3 can bond the metal part 4 to the mounting bracket 2, so that the metal part 4 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 2 more stably.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the adhesive reservoir 21 has a limiting groove 23, which is connected to the adhesive reservoir 21. The assembly hole 22 is connected to the limiting groove 23. The metal part 4 includes a main body 41 and an abutment part 42 connected to each other. The main body 41 passes through the assembly hole 22, and the end of the main body 41 away from the abutment part 42 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 2 facing away from the outer trim 1. The abutment part 42 is located in the limiting groove 23 and abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 23. The adhesive 3 is connected to the abutment part 42.

[0049] Optionally, the bottom surface of the adhesive-containing groove 21 is recessed to form a limiting groove 23, and the assembly hole 22 penetrates the bottom surface of the limiting groove 23, so that the assembly hole 22, the limiting groove 23, and the adhesive-containing groove 21 are connected in sequence. The main body 41 passes through the assembly hole 22, and the main body 41 is interference-fitted with the assembly hole 22. The abutting part 42 is located in the limiting groove 23, and the projected area of ​​the abutting part 42 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 22 is larger than the projected area of ​​the assembly hole 22 in its axial direction, so that the abutting part 42 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 23, which can prevent the metal part 4 from dislodging from the assembly hole 22 along the direction of the abutting part 42 toward the main body 41, so that the metal part 4 can be more stably assembled in the assembly hole 22. Thus, before filling the adhesive container 21 with adhesive, the main body 41 can be inserted through the assembly hole 22, and the abutment part 42 can be placed in the limiting groove 23, so that the abutment part 42 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 23, allowing the metal part 4 to be assembled onto the mounting bracket 2. Then, the adhesive is filled into the adhesive container 21, and the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the outer trim 1. After the adhesive cures to form the adhesive body 3, the adhesive body 3 can bond the outer trim 1, the mounting bracket 2, and the metal part 4 together. Since the projected area of ​​the abutment part 42 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 22 is larger than the projected area of ​​the main body 41 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 22, the bonding area between the adhesive body 3 and the metal part 4 can be increased, making the metal part 4 bonded to the mounting bracket 2 more firmly, and the metal part 4 bonded to the outer trim 1 more firmly.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the abutting part 42 abuts against the side of the limiting groove 23 to prevent the abutting part 42 from rotating within the limiting groove 23.

[0051] Understandably, after the adhesive is filled into the adhesive reservoir 21 and the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the outer trim 1, the abutment portion 42 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 23, and the outer trim 1 can, to a certain extent, prevent the abutment portion 42 from moving away from the mounting hole 22. Therefore, before the adhesive cures, the metal part 4 can be prevented from moving axially along the mounting hole 22. The mounting hole 22 is typically a round hole, and the main body 41 is typically cylindrical. Without other constraints, the main body 41 can easily rotate around the axis of the mounting hole 22, thus allowing the metal part 4 to rotate around the axis of the mounting hole 22 before the adhesive cures.

[0052] In this embodiment, the projection shape of the abutment portion 42 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 22 is non-circular, and the projection shape of the limiting groove 23 in the axial direction of the assembly hole 22 is also non-circular. Furthermore, the abutment portion 42 can abut against the side of the limiting groove 23, thereby preventing the abutment portion 42 from rotating around the axis of the assembly hole 22 within the limiting groove 23, and thus preventing the metal part 4 from rotating around the axis of the assembly hole 22.

[0053] In this way, after the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the outer trim piece 1, it can prevent the metal part 4 from moving axially along the mounting hole 22 and also prevent the metal part 4 from rotating around the axis of the mounting hole 22, so that the metal part 4 can be stably fixed on the mounting bracket 2 before the adhesive cures.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the end of the main body 41 away from the abutment portion 42 has a connection hole 411 for connection with bolts on the vehicle body.

[0055] Optionally, the main body 41 can be a nut-like structure. The end of the main body 41 away from the abutment part 42 has a connecting hole 411. The connecting hole 411 is a threaded hole. The connecting hole 411 can be threadedly connected to the bolt on the vehicle body, so that the metal part 4 can be fixed to the vehicle body, thereby making it easy to install the exterior trim 1 on the vehicle body.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the exterior trim mounting structure further includes an adhesive tape 5, which is disposed in an adhesive groove 21 and connects the metal part 4 to the mounting bracket 2, as well as the exterior trim 1.

[0057] Optionally, the tape 5 can be placed in the adhesive reservoir 21. After the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the exterior trim 1, the tape 5 can connect the metal part 4 and the mounting bracket 2, and the tape 5 can also connect to the exterior trim 1. Thus, before the adhesive cures, the metal part 4, the mounting bracket 2 and the exterior trim 1 can be connected together by the tape 5, which can prevent the metal part 4, the mounting bracket 2 and the exterior trim 1 from becoming loose. In turn, during the curing process of the adhesive, the metal part 4 and the mounting bracket 2 can be prevented from detaching from the exterior trim 1.

[0058] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 2 also has a positioning groove 24, which communicates with the adhesive reservoir 21, and the direction of the positioning groove 24 toward the mounting hole 22 is a first direction, wherein at least a portion of the adhesive tape 5 is located in the positioning groove 24, and the adhesive tape 5 extends along the first direction to connect the adhesive tape 5 to the metal part 4.

[0059] Optionally, the positioning groove 24 is located at the outer edge of the mounting bracket 2 and is connected to the adhesive groove 21. The positioning groove 24 has a first groove and a second groove that are connected to each other. The first groove is set in the direction of the mounting hole 22 and the direction of the first groove toward the mounting hole 22 is the first direction. The plane of the first groove is parallel to the axis of the mounting hole 22, and the plane of the second groove is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole 22.

[0060] During the process of placing the tape 5 into the adhesive container 21, a portion of the tape 5 can be placed in the positioning groove 24 first. The positioning groove 24 can play a positioning role to guide the tape 5 to be laid in the adhesive container 21 along the first direction, so that the tape 5 can extend to connect with the metal part 4. The tape 5 can be placed in the adhesive container 21 very conveniently, and it is ensured that the tape 5 can connect the metal part 4 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the tape 5 is rectangular in shape, and the width of the tape 5 along the second direction is the first width. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The width of the positioning groove 24 along the second direction is the second width, which is slightly larger than the first width, so that a part of the tape 5 can be disposed in the positioning groove 24. The positioning groove 24 can guide the tape 5 to extend to connect with the metal part 4.

[0062] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 2 is a plastic part, and the metal part 4 is embedded in the mounting bracket 2.

[0063] Optionally, when manufacturing the mounting bracket 2 using injection molding, the metal part 4 can be placed inside the mold cavity for manufacturing the mounting bracket 2. Molten plastic is then filled into the mold cavity, and after the plastic cools and solidifies, the mounting bracket 2 is formed. The metal part 4 is then embedded in the mounting bracket 2, allowing the metal part 4 to form a single unit with the mounting bracket 2. Of course, when designing the mold for manufacturing the mounting bracket 2, a space for embedding the metal part 4 must be reserved within the mold cavity.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, one of the outer trim 1 and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a protrusion 11, and the other of the outer trim 1 and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a groove 25, and the protrusion 11 is inserted into the groove 25.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 2 has a groove 25, and the outer trim 1 has a protrusion 11. After the mounting bracket 2 is pressed onto the outer trim 1, the protrusion 11 is inserted into the groove 25, which can play a positioning role. During the waiting process for the adhesive to cure, it can prevent the mounting bracket and the outer trim 1 from becoming loose, so that the adhesive layer formed after curing can better bond the mounting bracket 2 and the outer trim 1 together. In some other embodiments, the mounting bracket 2 may have a protrusion 11, and the outer trim 1 may have a groove 25.

[0066] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including an exterior trim piece 1, a vehicle body, and the aforementioned exterior trim piece mounting structure.
