Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cover plate assembly for a vehicle outer body part.
  • a cover plate as a separate single part, is usually assembled on a vehicle outer body part in a joint part for example between a bumper skin and a lower trim, or between a running board and a lateral and lower part adjacent to a wheel of a body part, or in a headlight washer area.
  • a cover plate is usually monochromatic.
  • the cover plate shall be processed by two surface treatment manners to satisfy different requirements for appearance quality and matching.
  • the tow hook cover plate is juxtaposed both to a bumper skin and to a lower trim.
  • a part of the tow hook cover plate, serving as a part of the bumper skin needs to be textured as the bumper skin
  • the other part of the tow hook cover plate serving as a part of the colored and injection-molded lower trim
  • the two parts are integrally formed, if one part is spray-painted, the other part shall be shielded.
  • the defect rate of such shielded spraying is relatively high, and there are always obvious chromatic aberration between the sprayed part and the colored and injection-molded lower trim, such that customers’ requirements for colour matching cannot be met and the painting cost will accrue accordingly.
  • the present invention aims to overcome all the above-mentioned inconvenient by providing a cover plate assembly for a vehicle outer body part, so as to satisfy the requirements of peripheral parts for appearance matching with relative cost advantages.
  • a cover plate assembly for vehicle outer body part characterized in that the assembly comprises:
  • pre-assembled component and the support are distinct parts which are attached together.
  • the first aspect corresponds to the aspect of a first outer body part juxtaposed to the cover plate assembly and the second aspect corresponds to the aspect of a second outer body part juxtaposed to the cover plate assembly, the first and the second body parts presenting distinct aspects.
  • the pre-assembled component and the support are attached together by mechanical, chemical and/or physical fixation means, for example by hooks and snaps.
  • the cover plate assembly is a tow hook cover plate assembly presenting a first aspect corresponding to the aspect of a bumper skin juxtaposed to the tow hook cover plate assembly and a second aspect corresponding to the aspect of a lower trim juxtaposed to the tow hook cover plate assembly.
  • the cover plate assembly is a cover plate assembly for a side door groove serving as an abutment for a ram during a wheel change.
  • the cover plate assembly presents a first aspect corresponding to the aspect of a side door juxtaposed to the cover plate assembly and a second aspect corresponding to the aspect of a running board juxtaposed to the plate assembly.
  • the cover plate assembly is a headlight washer cover plate assembly.
  • the cover plate assembly there are at least two hooks, and the at least two hooks are protrudingly arranged on the surface of the pre-assembled component facing the support and in the lower part of the surface; and the support is provided with hook mating holes corresponding to the hooks in position and number.
  • the cover plate assembly there are at least two snaps, and the at least two snaps are protrudingly arranged on the surface of the pre-assembled component facing the support and in the upper part of the surface; and the support is provided with snapping holes corresponding to the snaps in position and number.
  • the support is also provided with weakening holes adjacent to the snapping holes.
  • an upper position-limiting rib and a lower position-limiting rib are respectively protrudingly arranged on the upper edge and the lower edge of the surface of the pre-assembled component facing the support; and the support is provided with an upper position-limiting groove corresponding to the upper position-limiting rib in position and a lower position-limiting hole corresponding to the lower position-limiting rib in position.
  • the upper position-limiting rib and the lower position-limiting rib are both triangle-shaped.
  • two first position-limiting ribs are also protrudingly arranged on the surface of the pre-assembled component facing the support and in the upper part of the surface; and the support is provided with a first position-limiting hole that simultaneously cooperates with two said first position-limiting ribs.
  • a plurality of second position-limiting ribs are uniformly and protrudingly arranged on the entire edge of the surface of the pre-assembled component facing the support.
  • the first aspect presented by the pre-assembled component corresponds to a texture of a bumper skin
  • the second aspect presented by the support corresponds to a colored and injection-molded plastic support
  • the present invention improves a conventional one-piece cover plate into an assembly consisting of a support and a pre-assembled component which are distinct parts and cooperate with each other, such that the support and the pre-assembled component can be separately treated to meet different appearance requirements according to their surrounding outer body parts such as the lower trim and the bumper skin, or the side door and the running board, and then assembled together.
  • the present invention also meets such functional requirements as multiple disassemblies and installations, and satisfies the purpose of matching peripheral parts in appearance and quality.

  • Fig. 2 is a structural schematic view of a pre-assembled part according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a structural schematic view of a support according to the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a tow hook cover plate assembly for a vehicle bumper, which comprises:
  • a pre-assembled component 1, presenting a texture of a bumper skin (not shown) ;
  • a support 2 presenting another texture of a colored and injection-molded plastic lower trim (not shown) ;
  • pre-assembled component 1 and the support 2 are distinct parts which are attached together by hooks 11 and snaps 12.
  • the at least two hooks 11 are protrudingly arranged on the surface of the pre-assembled component 1 facing the support 2 and in the lower part of the surface; and the support 2 is provided with hook mating holes 21 corresponding to the hooks 11 in position and number.

  • the support 2 is also provided with weakening holes 23 adjacent to the snapping holes 22, so as to reduce the assembling force when the snaps 12 are snapped into the snapping holes 22 for the sake of easy installation of the snaps 12.
  • an upper position-limiting rib 14 and a lower position-limiting rib 13 that are triangle-shaped are respectively protrudingly arranged on the upper edge and the lower edge of the surface of the pre-assembled component 1 facing the support 2 (the triangular upper and lower position-limiting ribs have a certain guiding function when the pre-assembled component 1 is assembled to the support 2 and avoid injection molding defects such as microprinting)
  • two first position-limiting ribs 15 are also protrudingly arranged on the upper part of the surface
  • a plurality of second position-limiting ribs 16 are uniformly and protrudingly arranged on the entire edge of the surface (the second position-limiting ribs can control the assembling flushness and clearance between the pre-assembled component 1 and the support 2)
  • the support 2 is provided with an upper position-limiting groove 25 corresponding to the upper position-limiting rib 14 in position and a lower position-limiting hole 24 corresponding to the lower position-limiting rib 13 in position, and meanwhile provided

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble plaque de couverture pour une partie de carrosserie externe de véhicule comprenant un élément pré-assemblé (1) présentant un premier aspect, et un support (2) présentant un second aspect; l'élément pré-assemblé (1) et le support (2) étant des parties distinctes qui sont fixées l'une à l'autre. L'ensemble plaque de couverture améliore une plaque de couverture d'une seule pièce classique en la remplaçant par un ensemble composé d'un support et d'un élément pré-assemblé qui sont des parties distinctes et qui coopèrent l'un avec l'autre, de sorte que le support et l'élément pré-assemblé peuvent être traités séparément pour satisfaire des exigences d'apparence différente en fonction de leurs parties de carrosserie externe voisines telles qu'une garniture inférieure et un revêtement de pare-chocs, ou une porte latérale et un marchepied, et être ensuite assemblés. L'ensemble plaque de couverture satisfait également des exigences fonctionnelles telles que de multiples démontages et installations, et permet de faire correspondre des parties périphériques en termes d'apparence et de qualité.
