Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts, and more specifically, to an installation structure for a tailgate support rod. Background Technology

[0002] Car tailgate support rods are used to support the car tailgate and keep it in the open position so that users can load and unload items in the car trunk. This requires the support rod's installation structure to have strong structural strength and good durability.

[0003] Furthermore, the existing support rod installation structure has weak structural strength and durability, leading to cracking and a short service life, which affects the normal use of the car tailgate. Moreover, due to unreasonable design, the existing installation structure can cause the tailgate support rod to malfunction or become stuck during use, resulting in high maintenance costs and an unsightly appearance, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a reasonably designed and strong installation structure for the tailgate support rod of a car has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for the installation structure of a car tailgate support rod that is reasonably designed and has good strength.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an installation structure for a car tailgate support rod is provided, comprising: a support rod mounting plate, the support rod mounting plate having a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a connecting plate, and a reinforcing rib; the two ends of the connecting plate in the width direction are respectively connected to the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate; the width of the connecting plate gradually decreases from a first end in the length direction of the connecting plate to a second end in the length direction of the connecting plate; a first included angle formed between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate is an acute angle; the reinforcing rib sequentially passes through the first mounting plate, the connecting plate, and the second mounting plate;

[0007] The D-pillar reinforcement plate has a reinforcement plate body and a groove. The groove is recessed on the reinforcement plate body. The bottom wall of the groove is adapted to the first mounting plate. The reinforcement plate body is adapted to the second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is disposed in the groove, and the second mounting plate is disposed on the reinforcement plate body outside the groove.

[0008] Optionally, the support rod mounting plate is further provided with a flange, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the support rod mounting plate. The height of the flange located on the outer periphery of the second mounting plate is greater than the height of the flange located on the outer periphery of the connecting plate, and the height of the flange located on the outer periphery of the connecting plate is greater than the height of the flange located on the outer periphery of the first mounting plate.

[0009] Optionally, the support rod mounting plate is further provided with support rod mounting points, which are disposed on the first mounting plate and located on both sides of the reinforcing rib.

[0010] Optionally, the second included angle between the reinforcing plate body and the bottom wall of the groove is an acute angle, and a connecting wall is provided between the reinforcing plate body and the bottom wall of the groove. The width of the connecting wall gradually decreases from the first end in the length direction of the connecting wall to the second end in the length direction of the connecting wall.

[0011] Optionally, the D-pillar reinforcing plate is provided with mounting holes, which are located on the bottom wall of the groove, and the support rod mounting plate is fixed to the D-pillar reinforcing plate through the mounting holes.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting structure of the tailgate support rod further includes a D-pillar water channel, wherein the support rod mounting plate, the D-pillar reinforcing plate, and the D-pillar water channel are connected in sequence.

[0013] Optionally, the D-pillar reinforcing plate has a boss that abuts against the D-pillar water channel.

[0014] Optionally, the mounting structure of the car tailgate support rod further includes an inner panel of the D-pillar, which is overlapped and welded to the outer peripheral wall of the D-pillar water channel.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention addresses the issue of tailgate support rods by gradually decreasing the width of the connecting plate from its first end to its second end along its length, creating an acute angle between the first and second mounting plates. This prevents the support rod from malfunctioning or jamming during use. Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are installed on the support rod mounting plate, sequentially penetrating the first mounting plate, the connecting plate, and the second mounting plate. This increases the structural strength and service life of the support rod mounting plate, improving the user experience.

[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an installation structure for a car tailgate support rod, including a support rod mounting plate 1 and a D-pillar reinforcing plate 2.

[0032] The support rod mounting plate 1 has a first mounting plate 11, a second mounting plate 12, a connecting plate 13, and a reinforcing rib 14. The two ends of the connecting plate 13 in the width direction are connected to the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 respectively. The width of the connecting plate 13 gradually decreases from the first end in the length direction to the second end in the length direction. This arrangement makes the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 inclined, and the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 close to each other, so that the first included angle between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 is an acute angle. Therefore, after the car tailgate mounting rod is installed on the support rod mounting plate 1, it can rotate flexibly around the support rod mounting plate 1 when the car tailgate is opened or closed during use.

[0033] The second mounting plate 12 is located above the first mounting plate 11, and the connecting plate 13 is disposed between the second mounting plate 12 and the first mounting plate 11. The connecting plate 13 is used to connect the second mounting plate 12 and the first mounting plate 11. Because the support rod mounting plate 1 of the present invention has a small structure, it also avoids the failure or jamming of the car tailgate support rod during use, and increases the convenience of installation and use of the support rod mounting plate 1 of the present invention.

[0034] The reinforcing rib 14 passes through the first mounting plate 11, the connecting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 12 in sequence. The reinforcing rib 14 is set to protrude on the first mounting plate 11, the connecting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 12. This setting improves the structural strength of the support rod mounting plate 1.

[0035] The D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 has a reinforcing plate body 21 and a groove 22. The groove 22 is recessed on the reinforcing plate body 21. The bottom wall of the groove 22 is adapted to the first mounting plate 11. The reinforcing plate body 21 is adapted to the second mounting plate 12. The first mounting plate 11 is disposed in the groove 22, and the second mounting plate 12 is disposed on the reinforcing plate body 21 outside the groove 22.

[0036] This invention addresses the issue of tailgate support rods by gradually decreasing the width of the connecting plate 13 from its first end along its length to its second end, thus creating an acute angle between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. This prevents the tailgate support rod from malfunctioning or jamming during use. Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 14 are provided on the support rod mounting plate 1, passing sequentially through the first mounting plate 11, the connecting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 12. This increases the structural strength and service life of the support rod mounting plate 1, and improves the user experience.

[0037] In one embodiment of the mounting structure of the automobile tailgate support rod of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support rod mounting plate 1 is also provided with a flange 15. The flange 15 is set on the outer periphery of the support rod mounting plate. The height of the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the second mounting plate 12 is greater than the height of the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 13. The height of the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 13 is greater than the height of the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the first mounting plate 11.

[0038] The reinforcing rib 14 passes sequentially through the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the first mounting plate 11, the first mounting plate 11, the connecting plate 13, the second mounting plate 12, and the flange 15 located on the outer periphery of the second mounting plate 12.

[0039] This invention provides a flange 15 on the outer periphery of the support rod mounting plate, with the flange 15 on the outer periphery of the second mounting plate 12 having a greater height than the flange 15 on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 13, and the flange 15 on the outer periphery of the connecting plate 13 having a greater height than the flange 15 on the outer periphery of the first mounting plate 11. This ensures that the tailgate support rod will not come into contact or collide with the flange 15 on the outer periphery of the first mounting plate 11 during use, further preventing malfunction or jamming of the tailgate support rod during use.

[0040] In one embodiment of the installation structure of the car tailgate support rod of the present invention, the support rod mounting plate 1 is further provided with support rod mounting points 16, which are located on the first mounting plate 11 and on both sides of the reinforcing rib 14.

[0041] The present invention increases the stability of the car tailgate support rod installation by setting the support rod mounting points 16 on the first mounting plate 11 and located on both sides of the reinforcing rib 14.

[0042] In one embodiment of the mounting structure of the automobile tailgate support rod of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second included angle between the reinforcing plate body 21 and the bottom wall of the groove 22 is an acute angle. There is a connecting wall 23 between the reinforcing plate body 21 and the bottom wall of the groove 22. The width of the connecting wall 23 gradually decreases from the first end in the length direction of the connecting wall 23 to the second end in the length direction of the connecting wall 23. The height of the first end of the bottom wall of the groove 22 is lower than the height of the second end of the bottom wall of the groove 22. This arrangement makes the bottom wall of the groove 22 compatible with the structure of the first mounting plate 11, so that the first mounting plate 11 can be completely fitted and fixed on the bottom wall of the groove 22, ensuring that the support rod mounting plate 1 is stably installed on the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2.

[0043] In one embodiment of the installation structure of the car tailgate support rod of the present invention, the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole 24, which is located on the bottom wall of the groove 22. The support rod mounting plate 1 is fixed to the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 through the mounting hole 24.

[0044] The mounting hole 24 is set corresponding to the support rod mounting point 16 of the first mounting plate 11. By installing bolts on the mounting hole 24 and the support rod mounting point 16, the support rod mounting plate 1 is fixed to the D-column reinforcing plate 2.

[0045] In one embodiment of the mounting structure of the automobile tailgate support rod of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the installation structure of the car tailgate support rod also includes the D-pillar water channel 3, and the support rod mounting plate 1, the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 and the D-pillar water channel 3 are connected in sequence.

[0046] The D-column water trough 3 has a first inclined plate 31 and a second inclined plate 32. The first inclined plate 31 is connected to the second inclined plate 32. The first inclined plate 31 is provided with a connecting hole 33, which is correspondingly provided with the support rod mounting point 16 and the mounting hole 24. By installing bolts on the connecting hole 33, the support rod mounting point 16 and the mounting hole 24, the support rod mounting plate 1, the D-column reinforcing plate 2 and the D-column water trough 3 are stably connected, so that the support rod mounting plate 1 of the present invention is a three-layer overlapping connection, which further increases the rigidity and strength of the support rod mounting plate 1, and allows the force received by the support rod mounting plate 1 to be transmitted to the D-column reinforcing plate 2 and the D-column water trough 3, reducing the force on the ground of the D-column water trough 3, and dispersing the stress on the bottom surface of the D-column water trough 3, thereby ensuring that the side end sheet metal is not torn during the durability test.

[0047] Furthermore, the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 has a boss 25, which is disposed on the reinforcing plate body 21. The groove 22 is located on one side of the reinforcing plate body 21, and the boss 25 is located on the other side of the reinforcing plate body 21. The boss 25 abuts against the D-pillar water channel 3.

[0048] The present invention increases the structural strength of the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 by setting a boss 25 on the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2, so that the boss 25 abuts against the D-pillar water channel 3, thereby avoiding the situation where the D-pillar reinforcing plate 2 is easily damaged by compression. At the same time, it also increases the aesthetics of the support rod mounting plate 1 of the present invention and improves the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment of the installation structure of the car tailgate support rod of the present invention, the installation structure of the car tailgate support rod further includes a D-pillar inner plate (not shown in the figure), and the D-pillar inner plate is overlapped and welded to the outer peripheral wall of the D-pillar water channel 3.

[0050] While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
