DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present application can be embodied in various forms without being limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 1, Figures 1-8 a trunk lid support device according to an embodiment of the present application can include a hinge mounting seat 1, an arcuate arm 2, a movable arm 3, a torsion bar 4, a gear spring damper 5, and a first pin shaft 6, wherein:

[0047] The hinge mounting seat 1 is fixed on the vehicle body, one end of the arc-shaped arm 2 is rotationally connected with the hinge mounting seat 1, the arc-shaped arm 2 is fixed with the trunk lid 7, and one end of the movable arm 3 is rotationally connected with the arc-shaped arm 2. The torsion bar 4 is movably connected with the hinge mounting seat 1 and the movable arm 3. In one example, the hinge mounting seat 1 is provided with a first mounting hole for the torsion bar 4 to pass through, the torsion bar 4 passes through the first mounting hole and can rotate in the first mounting hole. The other end of the movable arm 3 is provided with a second mounting hole for the torsion bar 4 to pass through, the torsion bar 4 passes through the second mounting hole and can rotate in the second mounting hole. Thus, as shown in Figure 7 , in the state that the trunk lid 7 is closed, the included angle between the movable arm 3 and the arc-shaped arm 2 can be α1°, and the torsion bar 4 is in a deformed state. After the user opens the trunk lid 7, the arc-shaped arm 2 fixed with the trunk lid 7 drives the movable arm 3 to rotate, thereby pushing the torsion bar 4 to rebound, and under the action of the rebounding force of the torsion bar 4 itself, the movable arm 3 continues to drive the arc-shaped arm 2 to rotate around the hinge mounting seat 1, so as to drive the arc-shaped arm 2 to rotate around the hinge mounting seat 1 until the trunk lid 7 is completely opened. As shown in Figure 8 , in the state that the trunk lid 7 is completely opened, the included angle between the movable arm 3 and the arc-shaped arm 2 can be α2°.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the gear spring damper 5 is located in the interior of the arc-shaped arm 2, which can avoid occupying the assembly space in the vehicle. That is, the gear spring damper 5 can be completely embedded in the arc-shaped arm 2. When assembled, the positioning problem on the outer surface of the arc-shaped arm 2 does not need to be considered. The gear spring damper 5 can include a gear buffer assembly 51 and a spring buffer assembly 52 in transmission with the gear buffer assembly 51. The first pin shaft 6 is rotationally connected with the arc-shaped arm 2 and in transmission with the gear buffer assembly 51, wherein the first pin shaft 6 is fixedly connected with one end of the movable arm 3, so that when the movable arm 3 rotates around the arc-shaped arm 2, the first pin shaft 6 fixedly connected with the movable arm 3 drives the gear buffer assembly 51 to rotate, and the rotation speed of the first pin shaft 6 is limited by the gear buffer assembly 51 and the spring buffer assembly 52, so as to reduce the opening speed of the trunk lid 7. In the case that the rotation speed of the first pin shaft 6 is reduced, the included angle between the movable arm 3 and the arc-shaped arm 2 changes little in unit time. Thus, the slow opening of the trunk lid 7 can be realized by the gear spring damper 5 embedded in the arc-shaped arm 2, which can not only ensure the opening stability of the trunk lid 7, but also can not occupy the assembly space in the vehicle and quickly assemble the gear spring damper 5.

[0049] An optional embodiment of the application, the gear buffer assembly 51 can include a first gear 511 and a second gear 512, the first gear 511 is coaxially arranged with the first pin shaft 6. Coaxial arrangement can be understood as the center axis of the first gear 511 and the center axis of the first pin shaft 6 coincide. The second gear 512 is engaged with the first gear 511, and the transmission ratio of the first gear 511 and the second gear 512 is greater than 1, wherein the second gear 512 is in transmission connection with the spring buffer assembly 52. Thus, the first pin shaft 6 can be speed-reduced and torque-increased by the gear buffer assembly 51. Thus, the deformation rebound force generated by the torsion bar 4 can be buffered. Wherein, the second gear 512 transmits rotary motion to the spring buffer assembly 52, and further buffers through the spring buffer assembly 52.

[0050] Another optional embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The gear buffer assembly 51 can include a first gear 511, a transition gear 513 and a second gear 512. Among them, the first gear 511 is coaxially arranged with the first pin shaft 6. The transition gear 513 is engaged with the first gear 511, and is in rotary connection with the gear buffer assembly 51, or is in rotary connection with the arcuate arm 2 through bearings and other components. Among them, the transmission ratio of the first gear 511 and the transition gear 513 is greater than 1. Thus, the first pin shaft 6 can be speed-reduced and torque-increased by the first gear 511 and the transition gear 513, so that the deformation rebound force generated by the torsion bar 4 can be buffered. The second gear 512 is engaged with the transition gear 513, and the second gear 512 is in transmission connection with the spring buffer assembly 52. Among them, the second gear 512 transmits rotary motion to the spring buffer assembly 52, and further buffers through the spring buffer assembly 52. Further, by adding the transition gear 513 between the first gear 511 and the second gear 512, the problem that the space between the second gear 512 and the first gear 511 is insufficient to install the spring buffer assembly 52 when the transmission ratio is greater than or equal to a preset transmission threshold can be avoided.

[0051] The person skilled in the art can determine the preset transmission threshold according to the actual application requirements, for example, the preset transmission threshold can be 2, 3, 4 and 5, etc., which is not limited here.

[0052] An optional embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 6As shown, the spring buffering assembly 52 can include a housing 521, at least two fixed pads 522, a movable pad 523, a transmission shaft 524, and a limiting spring 525. The housing 521 is fixed to the interior of the arc-shaped arm 2, and the housing 521 is provided with a receiving cavity 5211. In an example, the housing 521 can include a housing base and a housing end cover, and the receiving cavity 5211 is provided on the housing base, so as to facilitate the assembly of the spring buffering assembly 52 or the spring buffering assembly 52 and the gear buffering assembly 51. The at least two fixed pads 522 are located in the receiving cavity 5211 and fixed to the housing 521. The movable pad 523 is located between the at least two fixed pads 522 and overlaps the fixed pads 522, and the fixed pads 522 and the movable pad 523 are respectively provided with transmission channels. For example, the fixed pads 522 and the movable pad 523 can have a circular ring shape in cross section. The transmission shaft 524 is rotatably connected to the housing 521, and the transmission shaft 524 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 512, so as to be driven to rotate by the second gear 512. The movable pad 523 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 524. The limiting spring 525 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 524 and located between the second gear 512 and the fixed pads 522, so as to press the fixed pads 522 and the movable pad 523 by the limiting spring 525. Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end of the limiting spring 525 close to the second gear 512 can be further provided with a spring end cover for limiting the position of the limiting spring 525, so as to compress the limiting spring 525 by the spring end cover and press the fixed pads 522 and the movable pad 523 away from the end of the second gear 512. Thus, the movable pad 523 is synchronously rotated with the transmission shaft 524 when the second gear 512 drives the transmission shaft 524 to rotate. Thus, the movable pad 523 is frictionally absorbed by the fixed pads 522 when rotating, so as to reduce the rotating speed of the first pin shaft 6. The gear buffering assembly 51 is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque, and the spring buffering assembly 52 is used to buffer the deformation rebound force generated by the torsion bar 4. Thus, the trunk lid 7 can be slowly opened, the opening stability of the trunk lid 7 is ensured, the assembly space in the vehicle is not occupied, the gear spring damper 5 can be quickly assembled, and the gear spring damper 5 can be applied to the assembly rhythm of the whole vehicle.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the plurality of movable pads 523 and the plurality of fixed pads 522 are arranged alternately. The arrangement can be understood as follows: in addition to the two fixed pads 522 at the two ends, the movable pads 523, the fixed pads 522, the movable pads 523, and the fixed pads 522 are arranged in sequence. Thus, the friction area of the movable pads 523 and the fixed pads 522 can be effectively increased when the movable pads 523 rotate. The buffering effect of the spring buffering assembly 52 can be improved.

[0054] An optional embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixed pad 522 is provided with a fixed lug 5221 extending radially away from the edge of the transmission channel. The accommodating cavity 5211 is provided with a fixed groove 5212 extending along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 524. The fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 are matched in shape, and limit the fixed pad 522 in the radial direction. That is, the fixed pad 522 is limited in the axial direction by the pressing of the limiting spring 525. The fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 can facilitate the assembly of the fixed pad 522. The number of the fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 is matched, and when the number of the fixed lug 5221 is greater than 1, at least two fixed lugs 5221 are arranged at equal angles about the center of the fixed pad 522.

[0055] An optional embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 6 As shown, the fixed pad 522 is provided with a fixed lug 5221 extending radially away from the edge of the transmission channel. The accommodating cavity 5211 is provided with a fixed groove 5212 extending along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 524. The fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 are matched in shape, and limit the fixed pad 522 in the radial direction. That is, the fixed pad 522 is limited in the axial direction by the pressing of the limiting spring 525. The fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 can facilitate the assembly of the fixed pad 522. The number of the fixed lug 5221 and the fixed groove 5212 is matched, and when the number of the fixed lug 5221 is greater than 1, at least two fixed lugs 5221 are arranged at equal angles about the center of the fixed pad 522.

[0056] An optional embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 3As shown, the end of the movable arm 3 close to the first pin shaft 6 is provided with a first clamping portion 31 and a second clamping portion 32 which are separated from each other, wherein the first clamping portion 31 is fixedly connected with one end of the first pin shaft 6, and the second clamping portion 32 is fixedly connected with the other end of the first pin shaft 6. In other words, the movable arm 3 is fixed with both ends of the first pin shaft 6 through the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32 which form openings, so that the rotation stability of the movable arm 3 and the connection stability with the first pin shaft 6 can be improved.
