Description

Side trim plate structure of vehicle trunk, vehicle trunk assembly and vehicle

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of vehicle accessory technology, and more particularly, to a side trim structure of a vehicle trunk, a vehicle trunk assembly having the side trim structure, and a vehicle.

Background

With the development of the automobile industry, the vehicle modeling is increasingly diversified, and manufacturers and consumers also put more demands on the modeling design of vehicle parts and the matching of the vehicle parts with peripheral parts.

For the luggage case of two-case vehicle type, in order to make full use of the luggage case space, a shelf board which can stretch around a scroll or a supporting shaft is usually arranged, and the shelf board is often arranged on the upper side of a side plate of a vehicle body of the luggage case for placing articles, and meanwhile, personal privacy can be protected. In order to facilitate the operation, the rack and the side plate of the vehicle body are usually detachably connected, and a user can detach the rack according to actual conditions. However, the detached shelf is often resting directly on a shelf within the luggage case, affecting the accommodation space within the luggage case, and being prone to movement creating noise and risk of damaging components.

Patent document KR20080087295A discloses a receiving groove provided in a luggage case, in which a shelf can be safely stored without shaking when the shelf is not used and is installed in the receiving groove, thereby preventing occurrence of noise. In this way, since the tray providing the receiving slot is an additional component arranged below the partition, it is costly, additional requirements are placed on the cooperation of the surrounding components, and there is still room for improvement in the access of the shelf. In some aspects, the rack is received with a support structure that supports the racks, which is typically made of a hard material to provide support strength. In order to reduce noise, the support structure is provided with a material such as felt, for example, by over-molding a soft material onto a hard material, or by adding a material such as felt to the support structure. However, the over-molded approach is costly, the added felt approach involves the risk of adhesive failure, and thus the existing approach has difficulty in achieving a good compromise between cost effectiveness and noise reduction.

Detailed Description

The making and using of the embodiments are discussed in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the specific embodiments discussed are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the disclosure, and do not limit the scope of the disclosure. The structural position of the various components as described, such as the directions of up, down, top, bottom, etc., is not absolute, but rather relative. When the individual components are arranged as shown in the figures, these directional expressions are appropriate, but when the position of the individual components in the figures changes, these directional expressions also change accordingly.

Herein, unless specifically stated and limited otherwise, the terms "mounted," "connected," "secured," and the like are to be construed broadly. For example, the two parts can be fixedly connected, detachably connected or integrated; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be communicated with the inside of two elements or the interaction relationship of the two elements. The specific meaning of the terms herein above will be understood by those skilled in the art as the case may be.

Herein, "lateral" and "longitudinal" refer to the left-right direction or the axle direction of the vehicle, i.e., the Y direction shown in the drawing, and "longitudinal" refer to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, i.e., the X direction shown in the drawing, with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle. "vertical" refers to a direction generally perpendicular to the ground, i.e., the Z direction shown in the figures. "inner" and "outer" refer to the direction of the vehicle relative to the inside and outside of the vehicle.

The terms "first," "second," and the like herein do not denote a limitation of order or quantity of components, unless otherwise indicated.

A shelf or curtain commonly used in a trunk of a vehicle divides the space of the trunk into two parts, and can be used as a carrier for placing articles to fully utilize the space of the trunk and also can play a role in shielding the privacy of the trunk. The shelf is removed for storage when the luggage case is required to store large articles or a back seat is required to be added. Because the storage plate is usually overlong, the storage plate occupies a large amount of space in the vehicle after being taken down, so that the storage plate cannot be orderly stored, great inconvenience is brought to storage of other objects, and noise is easily caused by vibration in the process of driving the vehicle.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a side trim structure of a vehicle trunk, which is applied to a vehicle trunk assembly, and then a shelf board can be placed on the side trim structure, so as to achieve the effects of storage and noise reduction.

In connection with the vehicle luggage assembly shown in fig. 1-3, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle luggage assembly includes a side fascia structure 110, a floor portion 120, a bulkhead 150, and a support bracket 130 for supporting the bulkhead 150. The partition 150 can divide the luggage case into two spaces that are independent from each other, for example, a lower space in which a maintenance tool or the like is stored, and an upper space that constitutes a storage space for a user. In the storage space is provided a shelf assembly 140 for partitioning the luggage space, and the shelf assembly 140 generally includes a support shaft 141 and a shelf 142 (fig. 4) that can be rolled and unrolled around the support shaft 141. When in use, the supporting shaft 141 of the shelf board assembly 140 can be clamped to a fixed part above the storage space of the luggage case and close to the seat, and the fixed part is usually arranged on the inner side plate of the vehicle body so as to play a role in separating the space of the luggage case. When not in use, the support shaft 141 of the shelf assembly 140 can be detached from the fixing portion to be stored. According to the concepts of the present disclosure, the side fascia structure 110 is provided with a receiving portion 111 adjacent to the bottom of the luggage case, and the support shaft 141 of the shelf assembly 140 is adapted to be received into the receiving portion 111, as shown in fig. 2.

It should be appreciated that the two ends of the luggage case are respectively provided with the side decoration plate structures 110, and the side decoration plate structures 110 at the two ends are identical or substantially identical, and only one side decoration plate structure is described below for the sake of brevity.

Advantageously, as shown in connection with fig. 5, the side fascia structure 110 includes a base layer 112 and a decorative skin 113 that is composited to the base layer 112, wherein the decorative skin 113 is made of a soft material, the base layer 112 being shown illustratively in phantom. Here, the soft material is a hard material of the base layer 112, and the base layer plays a role of structural support, and may be a PP (polypropylene) hollow plate, PP honeycomb plate, or the like, and the decorative surface layer may be any one of a nonwoven fabric, a tufted fabric, and a velour fabric. During composite molding, a composite layer can be formed by adopting high-temperature compounding (for example, the temperature is higher than 200 ℃) of the basal layer and the decorative surface layer, and then the composite layer is molded by cold die compression; or the base layer and the decorative surface layer are separated and heated at high temperature (for example, more than 200 ℃) and then are subjected to cold mould compression molding. Thus, by forming the accommodating part on the side decorative plate structure, the effect of reducing noise generated by vibration of the shelf board assembly can be obtained by utilizing the soft material property of the decorative surface layer, and the protective effect is provided for the shelf board assembly.

In some embodiments, the receiving portion 111 is configured as a recess recessed from the decorative surface layer 113, and the receiving portion in the form of a recess plays a role in limiting the shelf assembly (more specifically, the support shaft 141 of the shelf assembly 140), thereby better reducing vibration and noise.

Advantageously, the recess is adapted to the end contour of the shelf assembly, i.e. to the end contour of the support shaft 141. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the degrees of freedom of the support shaft 141 in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction within the accommodating portion 111 are substantially limited. It should be understood that "substantially limited" herein means that the support shaft 141 is not completely fixed in the receiving portion 111, but that there is a margin of 1 to 2 mm. After the supporting shaft 141 is placed in the accommodating portion 111, the supporting shaft can be tightly abutted against the surface of the lower area of the accommodating portion by means of its own weight, so that the accommodating portion can well support the supporting shaft, and vibration is avoided and stable fixation is maintained. This advantageously absorbs assembly tolerances and also avoids the surface damage of the decorative skin of the support shaft or side trim structure resulting from excessive fixing, which would affect the decorative appearance requirements. When the rack assembly is required to be used, the rack assembly can be conveniently taken out of the containing part.

In some embodiments, the rack assembly 140 is accommodated in the lower space separated by the partition 150, and at this time, the accommodating portion of the side decoration plate structure is configured to make an avoidance distance between the rack assembly and the support frame, so that the rack assembly does not interfere with the support frame, and noise is avoided.

Specifically, the support frame 130 is provided with a avoidance portion 131 corresponding to the accommodating portion 111 of the side decoration plate structure 110, as shown in fig. 4, the avoidance portion 131 is configured in a notch form, and has a first distance D1, a second distance D2, and a third distance D3 in the X direction and the support shaft 141, respectively, so that the avoidance portion 131 does not interfere with the rack assembly, and even if the rack assembly is slightly displaced in the accommodating portion due to large vibration during the driving of the vehicle, the rack assembly does not collide with the avoidance portion to generate noise.

In some embodiments, the support 130 is provided with a clamping portion 132 adapted to detachably clamp the partition 150, and the clamping portion 132 is, for example, a clip or a buckle, so as to cooperate with a corresponding structure provided on the partition 150. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the partition 150 is clamped to the clamping portion 132 and then can shield the shelf assembly, so that the shelf assembly does not occupy the storage space above the partition, and the space utilization rate of the luggage case is increased.

Advantageously, the receiving portion 111 of the side fascia structure 110 and the clamping portion 132 of the support bracket 130 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction X. In other words, the escape portion 131 of the support bracket 130 is spaced apart from the clamping portion 132 in the longitudinal direction, which enables the clamping and removing operation of the partition 150 and the taking and placing operation of the shelf assembly 140 to be not interfered. It should be understood that the number and location of the clamping portions is set according to the size of the partition plate and the required clamping strength and is not limited to the illustration.

The side decoration plate structure of the present disclosure provides vibration damping and noise reduction structural support for the storage plate assembly by arranging the accommodating part and simultaneously utilizing the decoration surface layer of the soft material, thereby effectively solving the storage problem of the storage plate assembly when not in use and improving the availability of the luggage space. The side decorative plate is simple in structural design, easy to form, free of large change on surrounding environment parts, particularly free of change on the shelf plate assembly, low in cost and convenient to take and place, and applicability and attractiveness are guaranteed.

It should be understood herein that the embodiments shown in the figures illustrate only alternative shapes, sizes and arrangements of the side fascia structure of the vehicle luggage case and the various optional components of the vehicle luggage case assembly according to the present disclosure, however, they are merely illustrative and not limiting, and that other shapes, sizes and arrangements may be employed without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

While the technical contents and features of the present disclosure have been disclosed above, it will be understood that those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the above disclosed concept under the inventive concept of the present disclosure, but all fall within the scope of the present disclosure. The above description of embodiments is illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the disclosure is defined by the claims.
