An outer body part assembly for a vehicle, including an outer skin and a support member fixed to the outer skin. The outer skin is attached on a structural module of the vehicle via the support member, the support member includes a main body and a flange edge arranged around the main body and connected with the outer skin, the main body is in the form of mesh structure and includes a contact portion for supporting the outer skin and a reinforcement rib projecting from the contact portion for reinforcing the contact portion. The assembly prevents the outer skin from sinking, benefiting from the lightweight of the main body of the mesh structure, and the main body meets the supporting strength requirements by enhancing the strength of the mesh structure with the reinforcement ribs. In addition, the mesh structure also provides an effective energy absorption in case of a crash.

Outer body part assembly of a vehicle

An assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a towing hook orifice covering plate () and a skin (), wherein the towing hook orifice covering plate comprises a covering plate modeling surface () facing the outside of a bumper and a covering plate structural surface () facing the inside of the bumper. The covering plate structural surface has oppositely arranged rotary lugs () that are perpendicular to the covering plate structural surface and extend therefrom, and the rotary lugs have arc surfaces () away from the covering plate structural surface. The skin () has grooves () for accommodating the rotary lugs, and the grooves comprise first arc sections (), linear sections () and second arc sections (), wherein the linear sections are located between the first arc sections and the second arc sections. The assembly has a rotating axis defined by the rotary lugs and solves the interference problem in the prior art by changing the position of the rotating axis. The assembly maintains the vehicle outlook by not changing the appearance of the covering plate modeling surface, and can satisfy the requirements for the opening of the towing hook orifice covering plate and for the gap between the towing hook orifice covering plate and the skin.
