TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of vehicle tailgates, and relates to a mounting structure of a tail light area of a composite material tailgate. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current great change of the automobile industry, new composite material tailgates are favored by more and more OEMs due to their excellent lightweight effect and excellent design freedom, especially the integrated through tail light has quietly become a standard configuration of the composite material tailgate, therefore, the OEMs pay more and more attention to the installation of the integrated through tail light, and in the existing installation process, most of the tail light mounting points of the new composite material tailgate are arranged only in the direction of the X axis of the vehicle body, and the rivets of each mounting point are only directed to a single plane, and when the weight of the integrated tail light with multiple functions is getting heavier and heavier, people can only change the connection of the tail light and the outer plate to the connection of the tail light and the inner and outer plates, but the elastic modulus and the rigidity of the tail light area are still weak, therefore, people can only increase the thickness or the reinforcing rib in the mounting area of the inner and outer plates on this basis to locally strengthen, although the above scheme can realize the connection strength of the through light, but the method of increasing the thickness or the reinforcing rib undoubtedly increases the manufacturing cost of the tailgate and also increases the installation difficulty of the tailgate. SUMMARY

[0003] The application aims at the above problems existing in the prior art, and provides a mounting structure of a tail light area of a composite material tailgate, which can reduce the installation difficulty and the manufacturing cost.

[0004] The application can be realized by the following technical scheme: a mounting structure of a tail light area of a composite material tailgate, comprising: an inner plate, an outer plate and a through light, the inner plate, the outer plate and the through light are connected through a plurality of first connecting pieces, the plurality of first connecting pieces are arranged along the X axis direction of the through light, the bottom of the through light and the outer plate are connected through a plurality of second connecting pieces, the plurality of second connecting pieces are arranged along the X axis direction of the through light, and each second connecting piece is directed to the Z axis direction of the through light, and the inner plate and the second connecting piece can be connected or not connected.

[0005] In the mounting structure of the tail light area of the composite material tailgate, the through light comprises a lamp shell and a lamp shade, the lamp shade is provided with a buckle for buckling the lamp shell, and the lamp shell is inserted into the outer plate.

[0006] In the mounting structure of the tail light area of the composite material tailgate, the bottom of the lamp shell is provided with a threaded sleeve for connecting the second connecting piece.

[0007] In the aforementioned installation structure for a composite material tailgate taillight area, the threaded sleeve has a threaded hole, the inner wall of the threaded hole has threads, and one end of the second connector is inserted into the threaded hole.

[0008] In the aforementioned installation structure for the tailgate and taillight area of ​​a composite material, the outer plate is provided with a connecting hole for the second connector to pass through.

[0009] In the aforementioned installation structure of a composite material tailgate taillight area, a sealing ring is provided between the outer plate and the threaded sleeve at the connecting hole, and the second connector passes through the sealing ring.

[0010] In the aforementioned installation structure of the taillight area of ​​a composite material tailgate, a second ring is provided on the side of the lamp housing near the outer panel, and the side of the second ring away from the lamp housing abuts against the outer panel.

[0011] In the aforementioned installation structure for the tailgate and taillight area of ​​a composite material, a first collar is provided between the inner panel and the outer panel, and the first collar and the second collar are coaxially arranged.

[0012] In the aforementioned installation structure of the tailgate taillight area of ​​a composite material, the first connector passes through the lamp housing, the second collar, the outer plate, the first collar, and the inner plate in sequence.

[0013] In the aforementioned installation structure for the tailgate and taillight area of ​​a composite material, the bottom of the inner panel is provided with a folded edge plate, which may or may not be connected to the second connecting member.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this invention, the penetrating light needs to be inserted into the outer panel, and the penetrating light, the outer panel, and the inner panel are connected together by the first connector, thus achieving the first connection between the inner panel, the outer panel, and the penetrating light. Subsequently, the outer panel and the bottom of the penetrating light need to be connected by multiple second connectors, with each second connector facing the Z-axis direction of the penetrating light. In this way, the outer shell can support the penetrating light through multiple second connectors, thus achieving the second connection between the outer panel and the penetrating light. Thus, through the first and second connections, the movement of the penetrating light in the X, Y, and Z axis directions can be restricted.

[0016] 2. The second connector can also connect and support the bottom of the through light, effectively strengthening the connection between the through light and the outer panel, as well as the connection between the inner panel, the through light and the outer panel, and also making it easier for people to install.

[0017] 3. In the design of the vehicle tailgate, when the outer panel itself has sufficient support strength to support the through light, the second connector will not need to be connected to the inner panel. This can save operation steps and save inner panel resources. However, when the outer panel itself does not have sufficient support strength to support the through light, the second connector needs to be connected to the inner panel so that the inner panel and the outer panel can support the through light simultaneously through the second connector, ensuring that the through light can be stably installed inside the outer shell.

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, the installation structure of the tailgate taillight area of ​​the present invention includes an inner plate 100, an outer plate 200, a through light 300, a first connector 400 and a second connector 500.

[0023] In this invention, the first connector 400 is preferably a rivet, and the second connector 500 is preferably a bolt.

[0024] The inner panel 100, outer panel 200, and through-light 300 are connected by multiple first connectors 400, which are arranged along the X-axis of the through-light 300. The bottom of the through-light 300 is connected to the outer panel 200 by multiple second connectors 500, which are also arranged along the X-axis of the through-light 300 and each second connector 500 faces the Z-axis of the through-light 300. The inner panel 100 may or may not be connected to the second connectors 500. During installation, the through-light 300 needs to be inserted into the outer panel 200, and the through-light 300, outer panel 200, and inner panel 100 are connected together using the first connectors 400, thus achieving the first connection between the inner panel 100, outer panel 200, and through-light 300. Afterward, the outer panel 200 needs to be... The bottom of the through light 300 is connected to the outer panel 200 via multiple second connectors 500, with each second connector 500 facing the Z-axis direction of the through light 300. This allows the outer casing to support the through light 300 via the multiple second connectors 500, achieving a second connection between the outer panel 200 and the through light 300. Thus, through the first and second connections, the movement of the through light 300 in the X, Y, and Z axes can be restricted. In particular, the second connectors 500 can also connect to and support the bottom of the through light 300, effectively strengthening the connection between the through light 300 and the outer panel 200, as well as the connection between the inner panel 100, the through light 300, and the outer panel 200. In other words, it effectively improves the rigidity of the tailgate taillight area. Compared with the prior art, it eliminates the need for thicker materials or reinforcing ribs, effectively reducing costs.

[0025] Furthermore, in the design of the vehicle tailgate, when the outer panel 200 itself has sufficient support strength to support the through light 300, the second connector 500 will not need to be connected to the inner panel 100. This can save operation steps and conserve the resources of the inner panel 100. However, when the outer panel 200 itself does not have sufficient support strength to support the through light 300, the second connector 500 needs to be connected to the inner panel 100 so that the inner panel 100 and the outer panel 200 can simultaneously support the through light 300 through the second connector 500, ensuring that the through light 300 can be stably installed inside the housing.

[0026] The through light 300 includes a lamp housing 310 and a lamp shade 320. The lamp shade 320 is provided with a buckle 321 that is fastened to the lamp housing 310. The lamp housing 310 is inserted into the outer plate 200. When working, the light inside the lamp housing 310 can shine to the outside through the lamp shade 320.

[0027] The bottom of the lamp housing 310 is provided with a threaded sleeve 330 for connecting the second connector 500. The threaded sleeve 330 is provided with a threaded hole 331. The inner wall of the threaded hole 331 is threaded. One end of the second connector 500 is inserted into the threaded hole 331. The outer plate 200 is provided with a connecting hole 210 for the second connector 500 to pass through. During installation, the second connector 500 needs to be passed through the connecting hole 210 of the outer plate 200 until the thread is inserted into the threaded hole 331. In this way, the bottom of the outer plate 200 and the lamp housing 310 can be connected through the second connector 500 so that the outer plate 200 supports the bottom of the lamp housing 310.

[0028] A sealing ring 600 is provided between the outer plate 200 and the threaded sleeve 330 at the connecting hole 210. The second connecting member 500 passes through the sealing ring 600, thereby enhancing the sealing performance between the outer plate 200 and the threaded sleeve 330 at the connecting hole 210.

[0029] A second collar 311 is provided on the side of the lamp housing 310 near the outer plate 200. The side of the second collar 311 away from the lamp housing 310 abuts against the outer plate 200. A first collar 220 is provided between the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200. The first collar 220 and the second collar 311 are coaxially arranged. During installation, the first connector 400 passes through the lamp housing 310, the second collar 311, the outer plate 200, the first collar 220, and the inner plate 100 in sequence to enable the lamp housing 310, the outer plate 200, and the inner plate 100 to be connected together.

[0030] The bottom of the inner panel 100 is provided with a folded edge plate 110. The folded edge plate 110 and the second connecting member 500 may or may not be connected. Furthermore, in the design process, when it is necessary to connect the folded edge plate 110 and the second connecting member 500, the length of the folded edge plate 110 needs to be extended so that the folded edge plate 110 of the inner panel 100, the outer panel 200 and the lamp housing 310 are connected through the second connecting member 500 to provide sufficient support for the lamp housing 310. When it is not necessary to connect the folded edge plate 110 and the second connecting member 500, the length of the folded edge plate 110 needs to be shortened. At this time, only the outer panel 200 and the lamp housing 310 need to be connected through the second connecting member 500, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the tailgate.
