Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention installed on the rear bumper. A tailgate switch mounting bracket for the rear bumper includes a tailgate switch 2 and a bracket body 3. A hole is made in the rear bumper 1 and a flange is added. The bracket body 3 is installed at the hole in the rear bumper 1. The tailgate switch 2 is installed on the bracket body 3. The outward-facing side of the tailgate switch 2 matches the outer surface of the rear bumper 1 to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0028] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The bracket body 3 is provided with two fixing seats 31, two positioning pins 32, and one mounting hole 33 for installing the rear door switch 2. The fixing seat 31 has a through elongated hole in the middle so that the screw can be fixed to the rear door switch 2 through the elongated hole. The positioning pin 32 can be engaged with the rear door switch 2 to fix the rear door switch 2. The fixing seats 31 and the positioning pins 32 are obliquely and symmetrically arranged on the bracket body 3 near the mounting hole 33. That is, the two fixing seats 31 and the two positioning pins 32 form a quadrilateral. The two fixing seats 31 are arranged at the diagonal of this quadrilateral, and the two positioning pins 32 are also arranged at the diagonal of this quadrilateral, which can effectively fix the rear door switch 2.

[0029] The bracket body 3 extends upward to form a first flange 34 and extends downward to form a second flange 35. Both the first flange 34 and the second flange 35 are provided with welding points 36 for hot riveting and welding the bracket body 3 to the rear bumper 1. The first flange 34 is provided with two welding points 36 and the second flange 35 is provided with two welding points 36 for restricting the Y and Z directions. The square welding point 36 on the second flange 35 is used to restrict the Y and Z directions, and the rectangular welding point 36 on the second flange 35 is used to restrict the Y direction. This ensures that the rear door switch 2 is visible while maintaining the appearance gap.

[0030] The bracket body 3 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 37 to enhance the strength of the bracket body 3 and increase the support for the tailgate switch 2.

[0031] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 5 The working principle of this invention will be explained.

[0032] A hole is made in the rear bumper 1 faceplate and a flange is added. The bracket body 3 is hot-riveted to the hole in the rear bumper 1 through welding point 36. The tailgate switch 2 is installed on the bracket body 3 through the fixing seat 31 and the positioning pin 32. The side of the tailgate switch 2 facing outward matches the outer surface of the rear bumper 1 to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The tailgate switch 2 is exposed in the user's line of sight, and the user can quickly open the tailgate 2.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
