Description

Front fog lamp decorative cover and automobile

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on January 26, 2022, with application number 202220219723.0 and application name “A front fog lamp decorative cover and automobile”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle fog lamp decorative covers, and in particular to a front fog lamp decorative cover and a vehicle. Background Art

[0003] Currently, most vehicles on the market have black decorative covers around their fog lamps. To achieve aesthetic appeal, the thickness of the decorative panels around the fog lamps is relatively thin, which limits the installation space for the decorative covers. Currently, there are two ways to install the decorative covers: one is from the outside in, and the other is from the inside out. Both methods use clips and are fastened with screws. These two installation methods have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. When assembling the fog lamp decorative cover from the outside to the inside, it is easy to scratch the paint of the front skin, causing the front skin to be scrapped;

[0005] 2. When assembling the fog lamp decorative cover from the outside in, the clamping feet may deform inward, making it difficult to assemble the decorative cover.

[0006] 3. When assembling the fog lamp decorative cover from the outside in, the weak clamping foot can easily lead to a large gap between the decorative cover and the front panel, resulting in poor perceived quality.

[0007] 4. Since the fog lamp mounting point is arranged on the back of the fog lamp decorative cover, it is easy to cause the decorative cover surface to shrink, resulting in poor perceived quality;

[0008] 5. The fog lamp mounting point doghouse structure is arranged on the back of the fog lamp decorative cover, which makes the mold structure complex and the mold cost high;

[0009] 6. The fog lamp mounting point is weak, causing the fog lamp to loosen easily;

[0010] 7. The surface of the fog lamp decorative cover becomes loose when pressed, and the perceived quality is poor.

[0011] Application Contents

[0012] The main purpose of this application is to propose a front fog lamp decorative cover and a car, aiming to improve the perceived quality of the front fog lamp decorative cover, avoid damage to the front skin of the vehicle during assembly, enhance the strength of the front fog lamp installation point, and reduce assembly difficulty and production costs.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides a front fog lamp decorative cover, which is clamped to the front skin body of the vehicle through a plurality of clamping pins, and the parting surface of the front fog lamp decorative cover is at an angle of 165° to 175°.

[0014] A further technical solution of the present application is that a reinforcing rib is provided at the root of the clamping foot.

[0015] A further technical solution of the present application is that a guiding slope is provided at the front end of the clamping foot.

[0016] A further technical solution of the present application is that a plurality of bosses for supporting the front fog lamps are provided on the back side of the front cover.

[0017] A further technical solution of the present application is that a BOSS column for mounting a front fog lamp is provided on the back side of the front skin.

[0018] A further technical solution of the present application is that the thickness of the root of the BOSS column is 3 mm.

[0019] To achieve the above objectives, the present application also proposes an automobile, which includes the front fog lamp decorative cover as described above.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the front fog lamp decorative cover and the automobile of the present application are:

[0021] 1. Good perceived quality:

[0022] 1) The parting line has high precision and no flash;

[0023] 2) The parting line will not scratch the paint of the front skin;

[0024] 3) The gap between the front fog lamp decorative cover and the front skin body is even;

[0025] 4) The front fog lamp decorative cover has good pressing strength and a supporting structure on the back, so there is no looseness;

[0026] 5) The BOSS column is designed in the B-side area, and there is no shrinkage defect in the A-side area;

[0027] 2. Easy to assemble:

[0028] 1) Add reinforcement ribs at the base of the card foot to control the injection molding shrinkage of the card foot;

[0029] 2) The front end of the foot reinforcement rib is designed with a guide slope;

[0030] 3. Low cost: B-side design of fog lamp installation BOSS, direct production of front and rear molds, simple mold structure and low mold cost;

[0050] In this embodiment, the front fog lamp is assembled from the inside out, and a BOSS column 8 for installing the front fog lamp is also provided on the back of the front skin. The BOSS column 8 is directly formed by front and rear molds, and the mold structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0051] The root thickness of the BOSS column 8 can be designed to be 3 mm, or designed to other sizes according to actual conditions. The BOSS column 8 has high structural strength and can solve the problems of broken front fog lamp installation points and loose front fog lamps.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the front fog lamp decorative cover of this application are:

[0053] 1. Good perceived quality:

[0054] 1) The parting line has high precision and no flash;

[0055] 2) The parting line will not scratch the paint of the front skin;

[0056] 3) The gap between the front fog lamp decorative cover and the front skin body is even;

[0057] 4) The front fog lamp decorative cover has good pressing strength and a supporting structure on the back, so there is no looseness;

[0058] 5) The BOSS column is designed in the B-side area, and there is no shrinkage defect in the A-side area;

[0059] 2. Easy to assemble:

[0060] 1) Add reinforcement ribs at the base of the card foot to control the injection molding shrinkage of the card foot;

[0061] 2) The front end of the foot reinforcement rib is designed with a guide slope;

[0062] 3. Low cost: B-side design of fog lamp installation BOSS, direct production of front and rear molds, simple mold structure and low mold cost;

[0063] 4. The paint on the front skin is not scratched, which reduces the scrap rate of the front skin;

[0064] 5. The strength of the front fog lamp installation point has been enhanced to prevent the front fog lamp from loosening.

[0065] To achieve the above objectives, the present application also proposes a car, which includes a front fog lamp decorative cover as described in the above embodiment. The structure and working principle of the front fog lamp decorative cover have been explained in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
