Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a tailgate limiting structure and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the need for transporting goods, the tailgate opening angle is usually as large as possible. When the tailgate is opened to 270°, in order to prevent the split tailgate from hitting the rear side of the vehicle during the opening process and to prevent the tailgate from being accidentally closed due to non-human operation, a limiting structure is usually added.

[0003] Most of the current limiting structures on the market use magnetic adsorption mechanisms. However, when the limiting structure is placed on the tailgate and / or the side panel of the vehicle body, if the tailgate and side panel are restricted by the structure and cannot be adjusted, the two limiting structures placed on the tailgate and side panel are prone to magnetic misalignment and poor magnetic adsorption effect due to the tolerance between the tailgate and side panel.

[0040] This invention proposes a tailgate limiting structure to restrict the movement of the opposite side panels of the tailgate.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment of the invention, the tailgate limiting structure includes two adsorption components. One adsorption component is connected to the tailgate, and the other adsorption component is connected to the side panel. When the tailgate is opened to be close to the side panel, the two adsorption components are magnetically attracted to each other. The position of at least one adsorption component on the component on which it is installed is adjustable so that the positions of the two adsorption components correspond, thereby improving the alignment effect of the two adsorption components and improving the magnetic attraction effect of the two adsorption components. This can reliably ensure the limiting stability of the tailgate and improve the safety of use when the tailgate is opened.

[0042] When the tailgate is opened to 270°, in order to prevent the split tailgate from hitting the rear side panel of the vehicle during the opening process and from the tailgate being accidentally closed due to non-human operation, a limiting structure is usually added to the tailgate and / or side panel. When the tailgate is opened to the side panel, it is fixed to the side panel by an adsorption component, such as a magnetic adsorption mechanism.

[0043] However, when arranging the two adsorption components on the tailgate and the side panel of the vehicle body, the tolerance between the tailgate and the side panel needs to be considered to avoid the tolerance affecting the magnetic attraction effect. Generally, the influence on the magnetic attraction effect is eliminated by eliminating the tolerance between the tailgate and the side panel. However, this process is complicated and difficult. Therefore, this application achieves adjustable alignment between the two adsorption components by adjusting the position of the adsorption components on the parts on which they are installed, without changing the installation position of the adsorption components. As a result, the two adsorption components are reliably aligned before magnetic attraction and have a large effective magnetic attraction area during magnetic attraction, which greatly improves the magnetic attraction effect, reliably ensures the stable limiting of the tailgate, and improves the safety of use.

[0044] At least one of the adsorption components on the tailgate and the side panel is adjustable in position relative to the component on which it is mounted. Understandably, the adsorption component on the tailgate can be adjusted relative to the tailgate to change its position, facilitating magnetic attraction with the adsorption component on the side panel; alternatively, the adsorption component on the side panel can be adjusted relative to the side panel to change its position, facilitating magnetic attraction with the adsorption component on the tailgate, requiring only minor adjustments to the position of one adsorption component; or, the adsorption component on the tailgate can be adjusted relative to the tailgate. The position of the adsorption components on the tailgate can be changed. At the same time, the adsorption components on the side panels can also be adjusted relative to the side panels to change their positions, facilitating the magnetic attraction between the two adsorption components after adjustment. In addition, the adjustable range of the position of the adsorption components on their mounting components is large. In this way, the position of the adsorption components can be reliably adjusted, which is convenient and quick, and the alignment accuracy and efficiency are improved. Furthermore, while ensuring that the positions of the two adsorption components correspond, a large magnetic attraction area is ensured between the two adsorption components, thereby improving the magnetic attraction effect of the two adsorption components.

[0045] In the technical solution of this invention, without changing the installation position of the adsorption component, the position of the adsorption component on the part on which it is installed can be adjusted to achieve adjustable alignment between the two adsorption components. Thus, the two adsorption components can be reliably aligned before magnetic attraction and have a large effective magnetic attraction area during magnetic attraction, thereby greatly achieving a better magnetic attraction effect, reliably ensuring stable positioning of the tailgate, and improving safety in use.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment, one of the adsorption components is fixed to the tailgate, and the relative position of the other adsorption component and the side panel is adjustable. This reduces the adjustment steps and facilitates the adjustment of the position of the adsorption component on the side panel by using the adsorption component fixed to the tailgate as a reference point, thereby further improving the alignment efficiency.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the adsorption assembly includes a magnetic suction element 10 and a connector 20. The magnetic suction element 10 has a connection through hole, and the connector 20 passes through the connection through hole and connects to the side panel. The relative position of the axis of the connector 20 and the axis of the connection through hole is adjustable. Thus, by changing the relative position of the axis of the connection through hole and the axis of the connector 20, the position of the magnetic suction element 10 on the side panel is changed, thereby achieving adjustable position of the magnetic suction element 10 at the same installation position, and thus achieving reliable alignment between the adsorption assembly and another adsorption assembly.

[0048] Furthermore, the relative position of the axis of the connecting hole and the axis of the connector 20 is adjustable. Understandably, the connector 20 can move closer to the hole wall in any direction on the connecting hole, that is, the magnetic chuck 10 can be offset around the axis of the connector 20. Through omnidirectional adjustment, the position of the magnetic chuck 10 on the side panel can be adjusted. The connector 20 can be a connecting bolt. Of course, other structures that can achieve adjustable position of the magnetic chuck 10 relative to the side panel are also applicable to this application and are not limited here.

[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment, the connector 20 includes a limiting part 21 and an extension part 22 connected together. The connecting through hole includes a first hole segment 11 and a second hole segment 12 with different diameters. The extension part 22 passes through the first hole segment 11 and the second hole segment 12 in sequence and is connected to the side panel. The limiting part 21 is placed in the first hole segment 11 and abuts against the edge of the second hole segment 12. It can be understood that the setting of the first hole segment 11 and the second hole segment 12 with different diameters facilitates the extension of the connector 20 and the connection of the magnetic suction component 10 and the side panel, thereby improving the convenience and stability of the connection between the adsorption component and the side panel.

[0050] Specifically, the diameter of the first hole segment 11 is larger than that of the second hole segment 12, and the limiting part 21 abuts against the edge of the second hole segment 12. On the one hand, this can effectively reduce the possibility of the magnetic suction member 10 detaching from the connector 20. On the other hand, it can limit the insertion depth of the extension part 22, which is convenient to match the gap between the tailgate and the side panel when the tailgate is opened, and ensure that the adsorption component can magnetically attract the adsorption component on the tailgate. The position adjustment of the magnetic suction member 10 on the side panel can be adjusted by the distance between the limiting part 21 and the hole wall of the first hole segment 11, or by the distance between the extension part 22 and the hole wall of the second hole segment 12. Both adjustments can reliably achieve the position adjustment of the magnetic suction member 10 on the side panel.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, an adjustment gap is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the extension portion 22 and the hole wall of the second hole segment 12, so that the position of the magnetic suction component 10 opposite side plate can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the adjustment gap, thereby improving the alignment accuracy and alignment efficiency of the two adsorption components and enhancing the magnetic attraction effect between the two adsorption components.

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment, the adjustment gap δ satisfies: 1mm ≤ δ ≤ 3mm, to ensure reliable alignment between the two adsorption components and reliably eliminate the influence of tolerances between the tailgate and the side panel. Specifically, when δ is less than 1mm, the adjustment gap is too small, making it difficult to eliminate the influence of tolerances, resulting in low alignment accuracy between the two adsorption components, a small effective magnetic attraction area, and poor magnetic attraction. When δ is greater than 3mm, the adjustment gap is too large, making it difficult to quickly and accurately adjust the position of the magnetic attractor 10 on the side panel, easily affecting the alignment efficiency between the two adsorption components. Therefore, setting the adjustment gap δ between 1mm and 3mm facilitates quick and accurate adjustment of the position of the magnetic attractor 10 on the side panel, improving the alignment efficiency between the two adsorption components. Simultaneously, this adjustment gap reliably eliminates the influence of tolerances between the tailgate and the side panel, thereby improving the alignment accuracy between the two adsorption components. When the two adsorption components magnetically attract each other, there is a large effective magnetic attraction area between them, resulting in a good magnetic attraction effect.

[0053] The specific value of the adjustment gap δ can be 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc., with 2mm being the preferred value.

[0054] Reference Figure 2In one embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting through hole, the width d of the overlap between the limiting part 21 and the edge of the second hole segment 12 satisfies: 1mm ≤ d ≤ 3mm, to ensure that the magnetic suction member 10 will not detach from the connecting member 20, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the magnetic suction member 10 and the side panel. Specifically, when d is less than 1mm, due to the small overlap width between the limiting part 21 and the edge of the second hole segment 12, the edge of the second hole segment 12 is prone to deformation under stress, or even breakage, which can also easily affect the connection between the magnetic suction member 10 and the connecting member 20. The connection stability and reliability between the components 20 are ensured. When d is greater than 3mm, the overlap width between the limiting part 21 and the edge of the second hole segment 12 is large. While ensuring the connection stability and reliability between the magnetic suction component 10 and the connecting part 20, as well as the adjustable characteristics of the magnetic suction component 10, it is easy to cause the overall volume of the adsorption assembly to increase and the space occupied to increase. Therefore, the overlap width d is limited to between 1mm and 3mm to reliably ensure the connection stability and reliability between the magnetic suction component 10 and the side panel. At the same time, the overall volume of the adsorption assembly is moderate.

[0055] The specific value of the overlapping width d can be 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc., with 2mm being the preferred value.

[0056] Optionally, in one embodiment, a gasket is held between the edge of the limiting part 21 and the edge of the second hole segment 12, which helps to further improve the connection stability and reliability between the magnetic suction member 10 and the side panel. Specifically, when the overlap width d is too large or too small, the setting of the gasket can prevent the limiting part 21 from separating from the second hole segment 12. Of course, when the overlap width d is set between 1mm and 3mm, the gasket can still be held between the edge of the limiting part 21 and the edge of the second hole segment 12 to improve the connection stability and reliability between the magnetic suction member 10 and the side panel.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first hole segment 11 includes a first sub-segment 111 and a second sub-segment 112, the second sub-segment 112 being connected between the first sub-segment 111 and the second hole segment 12, and the limiting part 21 being placed in the second sub-segment 112; the adsorption assembly further includes a connecting end cap 30, the connecting end cap 30 being connected to the first sub-segment 111 and used to magnetically attract another adsorption assembly. In this way, on the one hand, the possibility of interference between the connecting end cap 30 and the limiting part 21 can be effectively reduced, and on the other hand, by using the connecting end cap 30 as a magnetic contact surface when magnetically attracting another adsorption assembly, the effective magnetic attraction area can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the magnetic attraction effect.

[0058] The aperture and shape of the first sub-segment 111 and the second sub-segment 112 can be the same or different. The connecting end cap 30 can be connected to the first sub-segment 111 by means of threads, screws, or other structures, which facilitates disassembly and assembly, and enables the adjustment of the position of the magnetic component 10 and the connection with the side panel, which facilitates assembly. The connection between the connecting end cap 30 and the first sub-segment 111 enables contact and magnetic attraction with another adsorption component.

[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, the connecting end cap 30 includes a connecting portion 31 and a first stop portion 32. The connecting portion 31 is connected to the first sub-segment 111, and the first stop portion 32 is disposed along the periphery of the connecting portion 31 and is used to abut and limit the connection with the edge of the first sub-segment 111. Thus, by connecting and fixing the connecting portion 31 to the wall of the first sub-segment 111, the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic suction member 10 have a large effective contact area, improving the connection reliability between the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic suction member 10. The abutment and limitation of the first stop portion 32 with the edge of the first sub-segment 111 helps to limit the insertion depth of the connecting portion 31, reducing the possibility of interference between the connecting portion 31 and the limiting portion 21. At the same time, it effectively ensures that the connecting portion 31 is at least partially exposed in the first sub-segment 111, facilitating the magnetic contact between the connecting portion 31 and another adsorption component.

[0060] Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting end cap 30 further includes a second stop portion 33, which is disposed along the periphery of the first stop portion 32 and is used to stop and limit the protective sleeve 40. This can further limit the insertion depth of the connecting end cap 30 in the first sub-segment 111, and reduce or buffer the collision between the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic suction member 10, thereby extending the lifespan of the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic suction member 10.

[0061] Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting part 31 and the hole wall of the first sub-segment 111 are threaded together, which greatly improves the ease of disassembly and assembly, enhances the connection stability, facilitates faster disassembly and assembly, and thus improves the position adjustment efficiency of the magnetic suction component 10 and the magnetic attraction effect between the two adsorption components.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the assembly gap s between the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21 satisfies: 2mm≤s≤3mm, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of interference between the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21; wherein, the assembly gap can be determined by the distance between the end of the thread formed on the first sub-segment 111 near the second sub-segment 112 and the connection point of the first sub-segment 111 and the second sub-segment 112, or it can be determined by the difference between the thickness of the second sub-segment 112 and the thickness of the limiting part 21 in the axial extension direction of the connecting through hole, etc., without limitation.

[0063] Specifically, when s is less than 2mm, due to the small assembly gap between the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21, when the connecting part 31 is subjected to a large force, it is very easy for it to approach and collide with the limiting part 21, thereby causing damage to the structure of the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21. When s is greater than 3mm, due to the large assembly gap between the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21, while ensuring the connection between the magnetic suction part 10 and the connecting part 20 and the adjustable characteristics of the magnetic suction part 10, the adsorption assembly is likely to become longer in its axial extension direction, which can easily change the distance between the tailgate and the side panel when it is opened. Therefore, limiting the assembly gap s to between 2mm and 3mm can reliably ensure the connection between the magnetic suction part 10 and the side panel, reduce the interference between the connecting part 31 and the limiting part 21, and at the same time, the overall volume of the adsorption assembly is moderate.

[0064] The specific value of the assembly gap s can be 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc., and is preferably 2mm.

[0065] Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting end cap 30 is a magnetic metal end cap, which facilitates the magnetic attractor 10 to magnetically attract another adsorption component through the connecting end cap 30; of course, in other embodiments, the connecting end cap 30 is a magnetic non-metallic end cap.

[0066] Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting end cap 30 is provided with an operation groove 311 on the side opposite to the magnetic suction member 10. The operation groove 311 is used to assist the connecting end cap 30 in connecting to the magnetic suction member 10. The operation groove 311 can be in the shape of a straight line, a cross, etc., so that the corresponding operating tools can be used to act on the operation groove 311 to assemble the connecting end cap 30 onto the magnetic suction member 10.

[0067] Optionally, in one embodiment, the connecting end cap 30 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 312 on the side facing the connector 20. The weight-reducing groove 312 helps to reduce the overall weight of the connecting end cap 30. In addition, the weight-reducing groove 312 also helps to enhance the structural strength of the connecting end cap 30, reduce the possibility of interference between the connecting end cap 30 and the limiting part 21, and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the connecting end cap 30.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 2In one embodiment, the adsorption assembly further includes a protective sleeve 40, which covers the magnetic attractor 10 and is connected to the connecting end cap 30. It is understood that when the adsorption assembly is assembled to the side panel, the side panel has an opening for the connector 20 to pass through. The protective sleeve 40 is made of a soft material, such as rubber or silicone, which can abut against the edge of the opening, ensuring the sealing of the side panel and effectively preventing deformation of the opening and / or wear of the magnetic attractor 10 structure. Simultaneously, by abutting against the connecting end cap 30, the insertion depth of the connecting end cap 30 within the first segment 111 can be further limited, reducing collisions between the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic attractor 10 and extending the lifespan of both the connecting end cap 30 and the magnetic attractor 10.

[0069] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the outer surface of the magnetic suction member 10 is provided with a connecting groove 13, and the protective sleeve 40 is provided with a connecting rib 41 that matches the connecting groove 13. This can increase the effective contact area between the magnetic suction member 10 and the protective sleeve 40, thereby improving the connection reliability between the magnetic suction member 10 and the protective sleeve 40.

[0070] The connecting groove 13 can be set corresponding to the first sub-segment 111 and the second hole segment 12. While ensuring the connection between the magnetic suction component 10 and the protective sleeve 40, it is beneficial to strengthen the structural strength of the magnetic suction component 10 at the first sub-segment 111 and the second hole segment 12.

[0071] Optionally, in one embodiment, the protective sleeve 40 has a lip 42 at the end away from the connecting end cap 30. The lip 42 is bent outward and used to seal and connect with the edge of the opening on the side panel. By engaging the lip 42 with the opening, the sealing of the side panel is effectively guaranteed.
