DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

The D-pillar of a vehicle is located between the two additional glass panels at the rear of the vehicle and the rear windshield. It is generally more common in station wagons and extended SUVs. The D-pillar of a vehicle is not only a metal pillar that supports the roof of the cockpit, but also plays an important role in protecting the passengers in the cockpit. When the vehicle rolls or overturns, the D-pillar can effectively prevent the cockpit from being squeezed and deformed. In addition, installing exterior trims on the D-pillar of the vehicle can achieve creative changes in the shape. The vehicle provided in this embodiment includes a D-pillar assembly, which specifically includes a D-pillar 200 and an exterior trim 100, wherein the D-pillar 200 can be stamped and formed integrally with the side of the vehicle.

Specifically, the outer decoration member 100 in this embodiment includes a main body 110 and a connecting member 120. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, the structure of the main body 110 is a plate-like structure with a certain curvature. Two connecting members 120 are arranged at intervals on one surface of the main body 110. As shown in Figure 5, the first end of the connecting member 120 is integrally formed on the main body 110, so that the connection between the connecting member 120 and the main body 110 is more secure. The second end of the connecting member 120 extends in a direction away from the main body 110, and the second end of the connecting member 120 can be detachably connected to the D-pillar 200 of the vehicle, so that the connection between the main body 110 and the D-pillar 200 can be directly used. The connecting member 120 integrally formed with the main body 110 can be used to achieve the connection between the main body 110 and the D-pillar 200, and finally the entire outer decoration member 100 can be installed on the D-pillar 200. At the same time, it can also avoid setting additional fasteners to fix the outer decoration member 100 on the D-pillar 200, saving installation space and helping to reduce installation costs.

In this embodiment, two connecting members 120 are provided to achieve a joint effect, so that the outer decoration member 100 is reliably mounted on the D-pillar 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer decoration member 100 can also be fixed on the D-pillar 200 by one or more than three connecting members 120.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5 , a mounting hole is provided on the D-pillar 200 of the vehicle. When the D-pillar 200 and the side of the vehicle are integrally stamped sheet metal parts, the depth of the mounting hole on the D-pillar 200 is the thickness of the sheet metal part. When the outer decorative part 100 is installed on the D-pillar 200, the body 110 of the outer decorative part 100 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200, and the second end of the connecting member 120 passes through the mounting hole and is engaged with the D-pillar 200 to achieve a detachable connection between the second end of the connecting member 120 and the D-pillar 200. This method is simpler in structure and more convenient to install. Moreover, by providing the mounting hole on the D-pillar 200, too much installation space will not be occupied. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the detachable connection between the connecting member 120 and the D-pillar 200. For example, a thread is provided on the second end of the connecting member 120, and the second end of the connecting member 120 is threadedly connected to the D-pillar 200, which can also achieve the purpose of saving installation space and reducing installation costs.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the second end of the connector 120 is provided with a barb structure 113, and the outer dimension of the barb structure 113 is larger than the outer dimension of the connector 120. When the second end of the connector 120 passes through the mounting hole on the D-pillar 200, the body 110 of the exterior trim 100 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200, and the barb structure 113 at the second end of the connector 120 can be hooked on the D-pillar 200 to achieve the clamping connection between the second end of the connector 120 and the D-pillar 200, avoiding the shaking between the connector 120 and the D-pillar 200, and making the connection more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the second end of the connector 120 can also be set to other structures, as long as the outer dimension of the structure is larger than the outer dimension of the connector 120, it can be achieved that when the body 110 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200, the second end of the connector 120 is clamped on the D-pillar 200.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , the connector 120 in this embodiment includes two connecting plates 111 arranged opposite to each other, the two connecting plates 111 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and a barb structure 113 is arranged at the second end of each of the two connecting plates 111, and the barb structure 113 on any connecting plate 111 extends in a direction away from the other connecting plate 111. When the body 110 of the outer decorative member 100 gradually approaches the surface of the D-pillar 200, the barb structures 113 of the two connecting plates 111 abut against the mounting hole, and can pass through the mounting hole through the extrusion deformation of the second end of the connecting plate 111. When the body 110 of the outer decorative member 100 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200, the second ends of the two connecting plates 111 return to their original state, driving the barb structure 113 to hook on the D-pillar 200, thereby realizing the clamping connection between the second end of the connector 120 and the D-pillar 200, and the operation is convenient and simple. In addition, as shown in FIG6 , the connector 120 is further provided with two reinforcing ribs 112 between the two connector plates 111. The two reinforcing ribs 112 are both provided between the two connector plates 111, and are also provided in parallel and spaced apart from each other, and are both provided adjacent to the first end of the connector plate 111. Since the first end of the connector plate 111 is connected to the body 110 of the exterior decorative member 100, the reinforcing ribs 112 are provided adjacent to the first end of the connector plate 111, which can ensure the stability between the connector plate 111 and the body 110 and between the two connector plates 111, and will not affect the extrusion deformation of the second end of the connector plate 111, so that the second end of the connector 120 can smoothly pass through the mounting hole.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , two positioning members 130 are arranged at intervals on the body 110 of the outer decoration 100. The two positioning members 130 and the two connecting members 120 are arranged on the same surface of the body 110. The first end of the positioning member 130 is integrally formed on the body 110, and the second end of the positioning member 130 extends in a direction away from the body 110. At the same time, a positioning hole is also provided on the D-pillar 200 of the vehicle. The body 110 of the outer decoration 100 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200. The second end of the positioning member 130 passes through the positioning hole and fits the inner wall of the positioning hole, so as to achieve a matching connection between the positioning member 130 and the positioning hole, which plays a role in positioning the outer decoration 100 when installed on the D-pillar 200, and can also avoid installation errors between the outer decoration 100 and the D-pillar 200, playing a fool-proof role. At the same time, the first end of the positioning member 130 is also integrally formed with the body 110 of the outer decorative member 100 to ensure the stability of the connection between the positioning member 130 and the body 110. The positioning member 130, the connecting member 120 and the body 110 are all integrally injection molded, which is also simpler in processing. Specifically in this embodiment, the positioning member 130 is implemented by a pin structure.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , on the body 110 of the outer decorative member 100, the number of the positioning members 130 and the number of the connecting members 120 are both two, and the corresponding positioning holes and mounting holes opened on the D-pillar 200 of the vehicle are also both two, and the second ends of the two positioning members 130 respectively pass through the corresponding positioning holes and fit the inner walls of the corresponding positioning holes, so that the installation position of the outer decorative member 100 relative to the D-pillar 200 is more accurate, and the second ends of the two connecting members 120 respectively pass through the corresponding mounting holes and are clamped with the D-pillar 200, so that the installation of the outer decorative member 100 relative to the D-pillar 200 is more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the positioning members 130 and the connecting members 120 can also be set to other numbers as needed, and the number of the positioning holes and mounting holes opened on the D-pillar 200 of the corresponding vehicle can also be set to other numbers, and there is no fixed restriction.

When the number of the positioning members 130 and the number of the connecting members 120 are both two, the two connecting members 120 and the two positioning members 130 are arranged in pairs on the body 110, so as to exert the positioning function of the positioning members 130 and the fixing function of the connecting members 120 at the same time. In addition, the two connecting members 120 and the positioning members 130 arranged in pairs are respectively arranged at the edges of the opposite sides of the body 110, so as to maximize the distance between the two connecting members 120 and the two positioning members 130, and the larger the area where the two positioning members 130 and the two connecting members 120 can act, the positioning function of the two positioning members 130 and the fixing function of the two connecting members 120 can be maximized.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , the outer decorative component 100 further includes a sealing component 140, and the number of the sealing components 140 is also two. The two sealing components 140 surround the outer peripheries of the connecting component 120 and the positioning component 130 that are arranged in pairs, and are squeezed between the body 110 and the surface of the D-pillar 200 to ensure the sealing of the connecting component 120 and the positioning component 130 at the penetration position, and prevent the external liquid from penetrating into the interior of the D-pillar 200 through the installation hole and the positioning hole. In other embodiments, if the positioning component 130 is not provided on the body 110 of the outer decorative component 100, the sealing component 140 can also surround the outer periphery of the connecting component 120 alone, and is also squeezed between the body 110 and the surface of the D-pillar 200 to achieve the sealing effect.

As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, the outer decorative component 100 also includes an adhesive component 150. When the main body 110 of the outer decorative component 100 abuts against the surface of the D-pillar 200, the adhesive component 150 can be attached to the surface of the main body 110 and the D-pillar 200 at the same time, which is beneficial to prevent the outer decorative component 100 from deforming and warping, and ensure the reliability of the installation of the outer decorative component 100 and the D-pillar 200. At the same time, six protrusions 114 are also provided on the outer decorative component 100. These protrusions 114 extend on the main body 110 of the outer decorative component 100 toward the surface of the D-pillar 200, and the extended end faces of these protrusions 114 can be fitted on the surface of the D-pillar 200, so that the surface contact between the main body 110 and the D-pillar 200 is converted into point contact, avoiding unreliable connection between the outer decorative component 100 and the D-pillar 200 due to the tolerance of the structural size; at the same time, arranging these protrusions 114 on the main body 110 is simpler and more convenient in processing than arranging the protrusions 114 on the surface of the D-pillar 200.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the D-pillar assembly is applied to a vehicle to adapt to the structural design of the vehicle. However, if a similar structural design exists on other devices or equipment, the D-pillar assembly can also be applied to other devices or equipment. In addition, the D-pillar assembly includes a D-pillar 200 and an outer decorative member 100. The outer decorative member 100 is installed on the D-pillar 200. However, the D-pillar 200 and the outer decorative member 100 can be manufactured and processed separately, and the outer decorative member 100 can also be installed on a component with a similar structure to the D-pillar 200.

The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present disclosure. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
