[0051] The tailgate structure of the automobile structure is connected to the lock structure on the rear panel through the door lock on the tailgate, so as to realize the locking of the tailgate of the automobile. Therefore, the positioning of the automobile lock is the basis for achieving good connectivity between the above structures. Generally speaking, after the installation deviation of the door lock and the lock, the following problems are very likely to occur: the Y-direction collision between the lock and the lock on the bumpy road is prone to produce abnormal noise; during the closing process of the tailgate, the contact between the lock and the lock is too large, and the collision is more obvious; during the opening process of the tailgate, the tailgate shakes. The traditional centering scheme of the lock and the door lock generally includes knocking to adjust the position of the lock, or locking the door during the installation process to achieve positioning between the door lock and the lock. In the above two methods, the first one may cause the deformation of the lock structure, and the other one is the frequent unlocking and door opening actions, which is not convenient in actual application.

[0052] The present invention provides a car tailgate latch tool 100 .

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the automobile tailgate lock tool 100 is used to position the lock of the automobile tailgate. The positioning and installation operation of the door lock and the lock of the traditional automobile tailgate is relatively cumbersome. For example, the traditional installation alignment method is nothing more than the following two methods. The first installation positioning method is to first tighten the lock between the lock and the rear panel structure to weaken the strength of the lock reinforcement plate, and complete the adjustment of the lock position by knocking the lock. The second installation positioning method is to close the automobile tailgate, so that the door lock and the lock are automatically engaged, and the lock is tightened after the two are engaged. The above two most commonly used door lock and lock positioning installation methods, the former needs to weaken the strength of the lock reinforcement plate, in the actual use process, it may cause the installation strength of the lock structure to become low, after long-term use, it may cause the tailgate to shake; the latter, the above installation method process is relatively cumbersome, after the lock is positioned and matched, it needs to be unlocked, and the stud screws need to be tightened, and the rear panel needs to be sealed and blocked, the cost is higher than the conventional solution, and the actual implementation process is not convenient enough. Considering the above problems, in this embodiment, the structure of the automobile tailgate lock catch tool 100 is set as an active structure. In the actual use process, the door lock and the lock catch are in a relatively separated state when aligned, so as to solve the related problems existing in the above existing embodiments. Specifically, the main board body 1 in this embodiment is the main installation structure, which is in the shape of a long plate, and its length direction corresponds to the long side direction of the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, and they are all arranged along the first direction of the horizontal plane. The main board body 1 corresponds to the end face of the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, that is, the installation surface 13, and a fixing member and a guide member are provided, wherein the fixing member can form an active connection relationship with the upper end face of the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, and in addition to being able to install the main board body 1 on the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, the main board body 1 can also be moved on the end face of the rear panel under the force application state. In order to ensure the movement direction of the main body 1, in the process of actually installing and fixing the main body 1, the two guide parts 3 in the guide member are connected to the cutting edge of the rear panel of the automobile tailgate to limit the movement of the main body 1 along the first direction on the horizontal plane. In this scheme, the relative position of the door lock drives the lock buckle to be positioned, so a corresponding connection structure is provided on the main body 1, which is used to form a connection with the door lock and the lock buckle respectively. In the specific implementation process, the installation position of the main body 1 on the rear panel of the automobile tailgate is firstly adjusted by visual means, and the lock buckle structure on the rear panel is connected through the lock buckle fixing part 4. Then, in the process of closing the tailgate, the door lock on the tailgate is combined with the door lock fixing part 5, so as to drive the main body 1 to move along the first direction on the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, thereby adjusting the Y direction position of the lock buckle (the Y direction of the lock buckle corresponds to the extending direction of the first direction).By making the door lock and the lock buckle correspond to each other in the above manner, firstly, the door lock and the lock buckle can be adjusted in a mutually separated manner, and there is no need to frequently perform the door locking and unlocking operations during the adjustment of the lock buckle. In addition, the actual strength of the lock buckle mounting plate does not need to be reduced, and the structural deformation easily caused by hammering the lock buckle is avoided. At the same time, the operation process is convenient enough and easy to implement.

[0054] Specifically, the main board body 1 is set to an I-shaped structure, and two first protrusions 11 and two second protrusions 12 are respectively formed at the four corners of the two ends in the length direction. Specifically, the two guide parts 3 are respectively installed on the two first protrusions 11, and the fixing parts are correspondingly installed on the two second protrusions 12. Through the above structural setting, the specific structure of the main board body 1 can be simplified as much as possible, so that its actual structural weight can be well reduced, which is conducive to improving the convenience in the actual installation process.

[0055] In this embodiment, the fixing member is set to be fixed by magnetic attraction. Specifically, the fixing member includes two fixing parts 2 of the same structure. In the fixing part 2, a plurality of sinking grooves 211 are provided on a horizontal end face of the first mounting block 21 away from the mounting face 13. The first magnet member 22 is sunken and installed in the sinking groove 211, and one end of the first magnet member 22 at least partially protrudes from the opening of the sinking groove 211. In the actual installation process, the end of the first magnet member 22 protruding outwards is connected to the upper end face of the rear panel, thereby realizing the movable fixation of the main board body 1. It can be imagined that the size of the adsorption force can be adjusted according to the actual adsorption force requirement, so as to ensure the stability of the main board body 1 during movement.

[0056] Specifically, the guide portion 3 includes a mounting block structure 31 and a guide shaft structure 32, wherein the mounting block structure 31 and the guide shaft structure 32 each include two parts, the first shaft body 321 and the second shaft body 322 are respectively mounted on the second mounting block 311 and the third mounting block 312, and the first guide shaft and the second guide shaft are arranged at a certain angle, and the two can be connected with the two end surfaces adjacent to the rear panel cutting edge, thereby realizing the limitation of the movement direction of the main board body 1, so that the main board body 1 can only move along the first direction during the movement. In the above structure, the specific use of the shaft body structure for guidance can well reduce the friction force during the contact process between the relevant structure and the rear panel cutting edge structure, thereby making the guiding movement of the main board body 1 more stable.

[0057] The first shaft body 321 and the second shaft body 322 are arranged at 90 degrees to each other. In the actual contact process, they are in contact with the two end faces adjacent to the outer trim, so as to limit the X direction and Z direction of the main body 1. A clamping member is also arranged on the second mounting block 311. In the actual fixing process, when the main body 1 drives the lock to move and its position adjustment is completed, it is subsequently necessary to tighten the bolts on the lock to completely fix the lock on the rear panel. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the lock position after adjustment, after the position adjustment is completed, the rear trim of the automobile tailgate is clamped by the clamping member and the first shaft body 321, so as to prevent the lock from moving during the process of locking the relevant fixing structure, thereby causing the lock position to deviate.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the connection is formed with the lock buckle on the rear panel, the entire main body 1 structure can be moved to connect the clamping groove 421 on the clamp member 42 with the lock buckle of the car tailgate. The clamping groove 421 is a one-way opening structure, which can synchronously drive the lock buckle to move in the first direction during the movement of the main body 1 along the first direction. Specifically, a third gasket 422 is provided between the third protrusion 41 and the clamp member 42. The third gasket 422 can be set to keep the clamp member 42 as much as possible in the middle position between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 by adding or reducing the third gasket 422 before the entire tooling structure is used.

[0059] A fourth protrusion 14 corresponding to the clamp 42 is extended horizontally along one side of the main body 1, and a limit block 51 in the door lock fixing part 5 is installed on the fourth protrusion 14, wherein the end of the limit block 51 that is vertically upward is sunken to form a dovetail groove 511 whose opening gradually decreases from its end surface inward, and a flexible member 512 is provided on the inclined inner wall of the dovetail groove 511. When the door lock actually realizes the door locking movement, the door lock is in contact with the flexible member 512 inside the dovetail groove 511, and applies force in the process of contacting with its inclined side wall, thereby driving the main body 1 to move in the first direction. Then the Y-axis position of the lock buckle is adjusted.

[0060] like Figure 2As shown, an inclined mounting surface 13 is generally provided at the middle position of the rear panel of the automobile tailgate, and the lock structure is usually installed on the above-mentioned inclined surface with a reinforcement plate, so a certain inclination angle is formed between the upper end surface of the reinforcement plate of the lock and the horizontal plane. Generally speaking, two protruding convex structures are provided on the upper end surface of the reinforcement plate. In this embodiment, in view of the actual structure of the above reinforcement plate, the fixing member is further improved. Specifically, a bottom support member 6 is provided on the mounting surface 13 corresponding to the position of the above-mentioned convex structure, and a fourth gasket 63 is provided between the fifth convex portion 61 in the bottom support member 6 and the fourth mounting block 62. Through the setting of the fourth gasket 63, the second magnet member 621 on the inclined surface of the fourth mounting block 62 can be adjusted to contact the end surface of the convex structure on the above-mentioned reinforcement plate, so that the main board body 1 is fixed together by the first magnet member 22 and the second magnet member 621, thereby increasing the stability of the main board body 1 during movement.

[0061] In addition, a handle structure 7 is provided on an end surface of the main board body 1 away from the mounting surface 13 , and when the main board body 1 is actually placed on the peripheral board, the handle structure 7 can be used for operation.

[0062] And considering that the specific structures of different automobile tailgates may be different, in actual use, according to different tailgate structures, a first gasket 23 may be provided between the first mounting block 21 and the second protrusion 12, and a second gasket 33 may be provided between the second mounting block 311 and the third mounting block 312, so as to increase or reduce the corresponding gaskets, thereby increasing the applicability of the entire device.

[0063] like Figures 4 to 5 The present invention also provides a method for using a car tailgate lock tool 100, wherein the method for using the car tailgate lock tool 100 is applied to the car tailgate lock tool 100, and the car tailgate lock tool 100 includes the disclosed contents in the above embodiments, and thus at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here. Specifically, the method for using the car tailgate lock tool 100 includes the following steps:

[0064] Install the door lock of the car tailgate on the car tailgate, and install the lock buckle of the car tailgate on the rear panel of the car tailgate, and keep the lock buckle bolt in a loose state;

[0065] In actual operation, the door lock part can be fixed on the tailgate of the car, and then the lock buckle can be placed on the rear panel of the tailgate of the car. Specifically, a through-hole structure is provided on the rear panel structure of the car, and its single-side size is 3mm. During the installation of the lock buckle, the reinforcing plate of the lock buckle is inserted through bolts and initially fixed at the through-hole structure. At this time, the lock buckle is in a relaxed state and can move under the drive of external force.

[0066] Placing the main board body 1 on the rear panel of the car tailgate, connecting the main board body 1 to the lock buckle of the car tailgate, and adjusting the position of the main board body 1 to achieve rough positioning of the main board body 1 in the first direction;

[0067] The entire main board body 1 is placed on the upper end surface of the rear panel through the handle structure 7, and the position of the automobile tailgate lock tooling 100 is preliminarily determined by visual inspection, and the entire main board body 1 is installed and fixed through the above-mentioned first axis body 321, second axis body 322 and related magnet parts, so as to achieve rough positioning of the entire main board body 1. In this process, it is necessary to pre-fix the lock buckle to the inner side of the clamping groove 421, so that the lock buckle has the effect of moving along the first direction.

[0068] Closing the tailgate of the automobile, so that the tailgate door lock and the main body 1 can realize self-positioning in the first direction, and driving the main body 1 to slide on the rear panel of the tailgate of the automobile, so as to realize the self-adaptation of the door lock and the lock buckle in the first direction;

[0069] After the lock buckle and the main board body 1 are fixed, the door lock can be driven to move toward the dovetail groove 511 on the limit block 51 by closing the tailgate. When the door lock and the inclined inner wall of the dovetail groove 511 are connected, the entire main board body 1 is driven to move in the first direction, thereby realizing adaptive adjustment of the lock buckle in the Y direction. During this process, the lock buckle and the door lock are relatively separated. After the lock buckle is adjusted in position by the door lock, there is no need to perform the unlocking action, so it can be more convenient during actual operation.

[0070] Controlling the tailgate to open, and locking the locking bolt on the rear panel of the tailgate of the vehicle;

[0071] After the Y-axis position adjustment of the lock is completed, the main body 1 is fixed by the clamp to prevent it from shifting, and then the opening of the tailgate of the car is controlled, and finally the lock is fixed to the rear panel by the bolts on the lock reinforcement plate. After the lock and the door lock are aligned and installed, the entire main body 1 can be directly separated from the rear panel, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0072] Among them, placing the main body 1 on the rear panel of the car tailgate, connecting the main body 1 to the lock of the car tailgate, adjusting the position of the main body 1, and achieving the rough positioning of the main body 1 in the first direction includes:

[0073] The freedom of movement of the main board body 1 in the first direction is limited by two mutually perpendicular axial structures;

[0074] Before the final position of the main board body 1 is determined, the movement direction of the main board body 1 needs to be limited at the rear cutting edge position of the rear panel by the first axis 321 and the second axis 322. In this solution, the setting of more than two axes can enable the main board body 1 to perform adaptive movement along the first direction.

[0075] Connecting the main body 1 to the lock buckle of the car tailgate;

[0076] Before performing adaptive adjustment, the lock buckle needs to be first fixed on the limit block 51 , so that the X and Z directions of the lock buckle are limited by the limit block 51 .

[0077] The entire main board body 1 is fixed to the rear panel of the automobile tailgate through a magnetic attraction structure.

[0078] After the lock buckle is fixed on the limiting block 51 , the main board body 1 can be finally fixed on the upper end surface of the rear panel through the first magnet member 22 .

[0079] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
