[0048] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0049] The hinge assembly 100 of a scissor door according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 14 .

[0050] As shown in Figure 1, the hinge assembly 100 of the scissor door according to the first embodiment of the present application includes: a mounting base 10, a connecting base 20, a first rotating member 30, a second rotating member 40, a first hinge arm 50 and a second hinge arm 60.

[0051] Specifically, mounting base 10 is configured to connect to vehicle body 200 of vehicle 1000. Mounting base 10 is provided with a first mounting portion 11 and a second mounting portion 12, which are spaced apart from each other. For example, as shown in FIG1 , mounting base 10 extends vertically, with first mounting portion 11 and second mounting portion 12 spaced apart from each other, with second mounting portion 12 positioned below first mounting portion 11.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 , the connector 20 is used to connect to the vehicle door 300. The connector 20 is provided with a first connecting portion 2211 and a second connecting portion 2231, which are spaced apart. For example, as shown in Figure 1 , the connector 20 is vertically arranged, with the first connecting portion 2211 and the second connecting portion 2231 spaced apart from each other on the connector 20, with the second connecting portion 2231 located below the first connecting portion 2211.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1, the first rotating member 30 is rotatably connected to the first mounting portion 11, and the first rotating member 30 is provided with a first hinge portion 32. For example, the first rotating member 30 is provided on the first mounting portion 11, and the first rotating member 30 can rotate left and right around the vertical axis relative to the first mounting portion 11.

[0054] As shown in FIG1 , the second rotating member 40 is rotatably connected to the second mounting portion 12 and is provided with a second hinge portion 421. For example, the second rotating member 40 is provided on the second mounting portion 12 and is rotatable up and down about an axis extending forward and backward. When the second rotating member 40 is rotated from bottom to top, the vehicle door 300 can be opened not only upward but also outward.

[0055] The first hinged arm 50 has a first end 51 and a second end 52. The first end 51 is rotatably connected to the first hinge portion 32, and the second end 52 is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 2211. In other words, the first hinged arm 50 is connected between the first hinge portion 32 of the first rotating member 30 and the first connecting portion 2211 of the connecting base 20.

[0056] At the same time, the second hinge portion 421 of the second rotating member 40 is rotatably connected to the second connecting portion 2231 of the connecting base 20. For example, the second hinge portion 421 and the second connecting portion 2231 can be rotatably connected by a ball stud or a fisheye bearing.

[0057] Among them, since the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are arranged in sequence, the first rotating member 30 and the second rotating member 40 are arranged in sequence on the mounting base 10. When the second rotating member 40 flips upward around the axis extending front and back, the first rotating member 30 rotates left and right around the axis extending vertically, and synchronously drives the first end 51 of the first hinged arm 50 to move outward. In this way, the first rotating member 30 and the first hinged arm 50 can avoid a certain space area by rotating, which facilitates the second rotating member 40 to flip upward, thereby avoiding interference between the second rotating member 40 and the first hinged arm 50.

[0058] When the vehicle door 300 is connected to the vehicle body 200 via the hinge assembly 100 of the scissor door of this embodiment, when force is applied to the vehicle door 300 to open the vehicle door 300, the force is transmitted through the vehicle door 300 to the connecting seat 20. The connecting seat 20 transmits the force to the first rotating member 30 and the second rotating member 40 via the first hinge arm 50 and the second hinge arm 60, respectively. This causes the first rotating member 30 to rotate about the first mounting portion 11 and the second rotating member 40 to rotate about the second mounting portion 12, thereby enabling the vehicle door 300 to open upward and in the left and right directions. That is, when the vehicle door 300 is opened, the vehicle door 300 opens upward and laterally, achieving a novel and technologically advanced opening method. In particular, the rotation of the first hinge arm 50 about the first mounting portion 11 by the rotation of the first hinge arm 50 can prevent the first hinge arm 50 from appearing within the rotation range of the second rotating member 40, ensuring smooth opening of the vehicle door 300.

[0059] It should be noted that the hinge assembly 100 of this embodiment, including the mounting base 10, the connecting base 20, the first rotating member 30, the second rotating member 40, and the first articulated arm 50, collectively constitute a four-bar linkage mechanism, wherein the first rotating member 30 and the first articulated arm 50 constitute the first movable arm of the four-bar linkage mechanism, and the second rotating member 40 constitutes the second movable arm of the four-bar linkage mechanism. During the process of opening the vehicle door 300, the first rotating member 30 and the first articulated arm 50 cooperate to enable the first movable arm to achieve a compound upward and outward motion, while the second rotating member 40 rotates to enable the second movable arm to achieve a compound upward and outward motion. Thus, while achieving the same door opening angle and height, the hinge assembly 100 can be reduced in size, reducing space occupancy and making the door opening process more labor-saving. Furthermore, the hinge assembly 100 can be applied to more small-sized vehicles, improving its applicability.

[0060] According to the hinge assembly 100 of the scissor door of the embodiment of the present application, not only can the vehicle door 300 be opened outward along the left and right sides and opened upward at the same time, and the compound opening of the vehicle door 300 to the side and above is realized, the opening method is novel and has a sense of technology. It can also reduce the volume of the hinge assembly 100 and reduce the space occupied while achieving the same opening angle and height of the door, making the door opening process more labor-saving. It can also be applied to more small-sized vehicle models to improve applicability.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 , the first rotating member 30 is rotatable relative to the first mounting portion 11 about a first axis L1, and the first hinged arm 50 is rotatable relative to the first rotating member 30 about a second axis L2. The first axis L1 and the second axis L2 intersect at a first intersection point A1. Preferably, the first intersection point A1 is located on the first rotating member 30. This allows the vehicle door 300 to slide out smoothly.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the hinge assembly 100 for a scissor door may further include a second hinge arm 60 having a third end 61 and a fourth end 62. The third end 61 is rotatably connected to the second hinge portion 421, and the fourth end 62 is rotatably connected to the second connection portion 2231. In other words, the second hinge arm 60 is connected between the second hinge portion 421 of the second rotating member 40 and the second connection portion 2231 of the connecting base 20. In this manner, the second rotating member 40 and the second hinge arm 60 constitute the second movable arm of a four-bar linkage. During the opening process of the vehicle door 300, the second rotating member 40 cooperates with the second hinge arm 60 to enable the second movable arm to achieve a combined upward (upward flipping of the second rotating member 40 and upward movement of the second hinge arm 60) and outward motion. This further improves door opening efficiency. While maintaining the same door opening angle and height, the hinge assembly 100 can be further reduced in size, reducing space usage and making the door opening process more labor-efficient.

[0063] In a specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5, the second rotating member 40 is rotatable around the third axis L3 relative to the second mounting portion 12, and the second hinged arm 60 is rotatable around the fourth axis L4 relative to the second rotating member 40. The first axis L1, the third axis L3 and the fourth axis L4 intersect at the second intersection A2. Thus, the jamming phenomenon when opening and closing the vehicle door 300 can be avoided, and the vehicle door 300 can slide out smoothly.

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in FIG5 , the first intersection A1 and the second intersection A2 do not overlap. When the first intersection A1 and the second intersection A2 overlap, during the process of opening the vehicle door 300, the movement trajectory of the vehicle door 300 is a curved motion along the surface of a sphere, with a large movement distance and requiring a larger thrust and lever arm. When the first intersection A1 and the second intersection A2 do not overlap, during the process of opening the vehicle door 300, the movement trajectory of the vehicle door 300 is a curved motion along the surface of an American football. Under the premise of achieving the same opening angle and height, by making the first intersection A1 and the second intersection A2 not overlap, the movement distance of the vehicle door 300 can be reduced, the efficiency of the door opening can be improved, and the door opening process can be further made more labor-saving.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the second hinged arm 60 is rotatable relative to the second rotating member 40 about a fourth axis L4, and the second hinged arm 60 is rotatable relative to the second connecting portion 2231 about a fifth axis L5. The fourth axis L4 and the fifth axis L5 intersect at a third intersection A3. Preferably, the third intersection A3 is located on the second hinged arm 60. This allows the door 300 to slide out smoothly.

[0066] Furthermore, as shown in FIG5 , the first intersection A1 , the second intersection A2 and the third intersection A3 do not overlap. Thus, the door opening efficiency can be improved while ensuring smooth and smooth opening and closing of the door 300 , making opening and closing the door 300 more labor-saving.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the first hinged arm 50 is rotatable relative to the first rotating member 30 about the second axis L2, the second hinged arm 60 is rotatable relative to the second connecting portion 2231 about the fifth axis L5, and the first hinged arm 50 is rotatable relative to the first connecting portion 2211 about the sixth axis L6. The second axis L2, the fifth axis L5, and the sixth axis L6 are parallel to each other. This prevents jamming when opening and closing the vehicle door 300, ensuring smooth opening and closing of the vehicle door 300.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG4 , the mounting base 10 is vertically arranged, for example, the mounting base 10 is a vertically arranged plate extending forward and backward, and the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are both arranged on the upper portion of the mounting base 10. The second mounting portion 12 is located below the first mounting portion 11 and is arranged toward the connecting base 20. For example, the first mounting portion 11 is located above the second mounting portion 12, the second mounting portion 12 is connected to the lower end of the first mounting portion 11, and the second mounting portion 12 is located below and at the rear of the first mounting portion 11.

[0069] Furthermore, the first rotating member 30 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting portion 11 about a first axis L1, and the second rotating member 40 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting portion 12 about a third axis L3. The first axis L1 extends vertically, while the third axis L3 extends downwardly and obliquely from front to back. This makes door opening more labor-efficient, further reducing the size of the hinge assembly 100 and space usage while maintaining the same door opening angle and height.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the connection base 20 may include a first connection plate 21 and a second connection plate 22. The first connection plate 21 extends left and right for connection to the vehicle door 300. The second connection plate 22 is connected to the front surface of the first connection plate 21 and extends forward. The first connection portion 2211 and the second connection portion 2231 are both provided on the first connection plate 21. This allows the connection base 20 to be compact, reducing the volume of the hinge assembly 100 and reducing space usage.

[0071] In some examples, as shown in Figure 7, the first connecting plate 21 extends in the left-right direction, and a door connecting hole 211 is provided on the first connecting plate 21. The door connecting hole 211 passes through the first connecting plate 21 in the front-to-back direction. The door connecting hole 211 includes a plurality of door connecting holes 211, and the plurality of door connecting holes 211 are arranged at intervals on the first connecting plate 21. Fasteners such as screws pass through the door connecting holes 211 to fix the connecting seat 20 on the door 300.

[0072] In a specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the second connecting plate 22 is vertically arranged and extends forward and backward. The second connecting plate 22 includes a first plate segment 221, a bending segment 222 and a second plate segment 223 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first plate segment 221 and the second plate segment 223 are staggered in the left and right directions. The first plate segment 221 and the second plate segment 223 are connected by the bent bending segment 222. For example, the upper end of the bending segment 222 is connected to the lower end of the first plate segment 221, and the lower end of the bending segment 222 extends obliquely downward toward the second plate segment 223, and the lower end of the bending segment 222 is connected to the upper end of the second plate segment 223.

[0073] Furthermore, as shown in FIG5 , the second end 52 of the first hinge arm 50 is connected to the first plate segment 221 of the second connecting plate 22, and the second end 52 of the first hinge arm 50 is located on the side of the first plate segment 221 that faces the bent section 222 in the left-right direction (e.g., the right side of the first plate segment 221 as shown in FIG5 ). The fourth end 62 of the second hinge arm is connected to the second plate segment 223 of the second connecting plate 22, and the fourth end 62 of the second hinge arm is located on the side of the second plate segment 223 that faces the bent section in the left-right direction (e.g., the left side of the second plate segment 223 as shown in FIG5 ). Thus, the structure of the hinge assembly 100 can be further compacted, the volume can be reduced, and the space occupied by the hinge assembly 100 can be reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5, the first hinged arm 50 is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 30 about the second axis L2. The first end 51 and the second end 52 of the first hinged arm 50 are staggered in a direction parallel to the second axis L2. The first hinged arm 50 also includes a connecting segment 53. One end of the connecting segment 53 (e.g., the front end of the connecting segment 53 shown in Figure 5) is connected to the first end 51, and the other end of the connecting segment 53 (e.g., the rear end of the connecting segment 53 shown in Figure 5) extends obliquely toward the second end 52. In this way, the structure of the hinge assembly 100 can be further compacted and space occupied can be reduced while facilitating the connection of the first end 51 and the second end 52 of the first hinged arm 50 to the first movable member 30 and the connecting base 20, respectively.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5, the second rotating member 40 is rotatable relative to the second mounting portion 12 about a third axis L3 between a first position (e.g., the position of the second rotating member 40 shown in Figure 5) and a second position (e.g., the position of the second rotating member 40 shown in Figure 3). Furthermore, the third axis L3 extends forward and backward. When the second rotating member 40 is in the first position, the second hinge portion 421 is located below the third axis L3. When the second rotating member 40 is in the second position, the second hinge portion 421 is located above the third axis L3. Thus, when the second rotating member 40 rotates from the first position to the second position, the vehicle door 300 can slide upward. When the second rotating member 40 is in the first position, the vehicle door 300 is closed, and when the second rotating member 40 is in the second position, the vehicle door 300 is fully open.

[0076] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the second rotating member 40 includes a first section 41 and a second section 42 connected in sequence. The first section 41 and the second section 42 both extend in a straight line. The first section 41 is tilted relative to the second section 42, and the angle between the first section 41 and the second section 42 is obtuse. The first section 41 is connected to the second mounting portion 12, and the second hinge portion 421 is formed on the second section 42. This simplifies the structure of the second rotating member 40, facilitating smooth sliding of the vehicle door 300.

[0077] Furthermore, as shown in FIG5 , the third axis L3 extends obliquely downward from the front to the rear. Thus, when the second rotating member 40 rotates upward from the bottom, it not only pushes the door 300 upward to open, but also pushes the door 300 outward in the left and right directions, achieving a combined upward and outward motion of the door 300, further improving door opening efficiency.

[0078] Preferably, the second mounting portion 12 is located on the side of the inner corner of the second rotating member 40. This increases the height of the door 300 and improves the opening efficiency of the door 300. In other words, while achieving the same opening angle and height, the size and volume of the hinge assembly 100 can be reduced.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3 and 4 , the hinge assembly 100 for a scissor door further includes a strut 70, which may be an electric strut 70. The strut 70 has two ends hingedly connected to the mounting base 10 and the connecting base 20, respectively. The strut 70 is used to drive the connecting base 20 relative to the mounting base 10. Specifically, the strut 70 is vertically arranged, with the lower end of the strut 70 hingedly connected to the lower end of the mounting base 10 and the upper end of the strut 70 hingedly connected to the second connecting plate 22 of the connecting base 20. When the strut 70 is pushed upward, it pushes the connecting base 20 to move. Because the connecting base 20 is connected to the mounting base 10 via the first rotating member 30, the second rotating member 40, the first hinge arm 50, and the second hinge arm 60, the force of the strut 70 causes the connecting base 20 to tilt upward and outward. By providing the strut 70 in this embodiment, automatic opening and closing of the vehicle door 300 can be achieved.

[0080] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the mounting base 10 is in the shape of a vertically arranged plate, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are both provided at the upper portion of the mounting base 10, the lower portion of the mounting base 10 is provided with a first support portion 14, the lower end of the strut 70 is connected to the first support portion 14, and the second connecting plate 22 of the connecting base 20 is provided with a second support portion 23. The second support portion 23 is located below the first connecting portion 2211 and the second connecting portion 2231, and is located on the second connecting plate 22 near the first connecting plate 21. The upper end of the strut 70 is connected to the second support portion 23. Preferably, the first support portion 14 and the second support portion 23 are both formed as ball head connecting portions.

[0082] The following describes the connection structure of the hinge assembly 100 of the scissor door of this embodiment only in the form of a rotatable connection in which a rotating shaft and an axis hole cooperate. After reading the following embodiments, those skilled in the art can obviously understand and derive the connection structure of the hinge assembly 100 using a ball head connection or a fisheye bearing.

[0083] In a specific example, the first mounting portion 11 of the mounting base 10 includes two fixed plates 111 spaced apart from each other in the upper and lower directions, and the fixed plates 111 are provided with an axial hole that passes through the fixed plates 111 in the upper and lower directions. The first rotating member 30 includes a first column and a first connecting shaft 31. The first column is in the shape of a column extending in the upper and lower directions, and a through hole is formed in the first column that passes through the first column in the upper and lower directions. The first connecting shaft 31 is rotatably arranged in the through hole of the first column, and the two ends of the first connecting shaft 31 fit in the axial holes of the two fixed plates 111. In this way, the first rotating member 30 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 10. It should be noted that the positions of the first connecting shaft 31 of the first rotating member 30 and the axial hole of the first mounting portion 11 can be interchanged, as long as the first rotating member 30 and the first mounting portion 11 are rotatably connected.

[0084] In one specific example, the first hinge portion 32 of the first rotating member 30 is formed as a second connecting shaft, which is connected to the first column and extends perpendicular to the outer surface of the first column.

The second connecting shaft 32 can be rotatably engaged in the first articulated hole 511, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the first rotating member 30 and the first articulated arm 50. The positions of the second connecting shaft of the first rotating member 30 and the first articulated hole 511 of the first articulated arm 50 can be interchanged, as long as the first rotating member 30 and the first articulated arm 50 are rotatably connected.

[0085] In a specific example, the second mounting portion 12 of the mounting base 10 is provided on the lower side of the first mounting portion 11, and the second mounting portion 12 is connected to the lower fixing plate 111 of the two fixing plates 111.

A first connecting hole 411 is formed on the first section 41 of the second rotating member 40, which passes through the first section 41. The third connecting shaft fits within the first connecting hole 411, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the mounting base 10 and the second rotating member 40. The positions of the third connecting shaft of the second mounting portion 12 and the first connecting hole 411 of the second rotating member 40 can be interchanged, as long as the mounting base 10 and the second rotating member 40 are rotatably connected.

[0086] In one specific example, the second hinge portion 421 of the second rotating member 40 is formed as a second connection hole that extends through the second section 42. The third end 61 of the second hinge arm 60 is formed with a fourth connection shaft 611 that fits within the second connection hole, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the second hinge arm 60 and the second rotating member 40. The positions of the second connection hole 421 of the second rotating member 40 and the fourth connection shaft 611 of the second hinge arm 60 can be interchanged, as long as the second hinge arm 60 and the second rotating member 40 are rotatably connected.

[0087] In one specific example, a third hinge hole 621 is formed at the fourth end 62 of the second articulated arm 60, and the second connecting portion 2231 of the connecting base 20 is formed as a second through-hole extending through the second plate segment 223. One end of the fifth connecting shaft 81 is fixed in the second through-hole, and the other end of the fifth connecting shaft 81 is rotatably engaged in the third hinge hole 621, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the second articulated arm 60 and the connecting base 20. The positions of the fifth connecting shaft 81 on the connecting base 20 and the third hinge hole 621 of the second articulated arm 60 can be interchanged, as long as the second articulated arm 60 and the connecting base 20 are rotatably connected.

[0088] In one specific example, the first connecting portion 2211 of the connecting base 20 is formed as a first through-hole extending through the first plate segment 221, and the second end 52 of the first articulated arm 50 is formed with a second articulated hole 521. One end of the sixth connecting shaft 82 is fixed within the first through-hole 2211, and the other end of the sixth connecting shaft 82 is rotatably engaged within the second articulated hole 521, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the first articulated arm 50 and the connecting base 20.

[0096] As shown in Figure 5, the mounting base 10 is formed with a vehicle body connection hole 13, through which the mounting base 10 is fixed to the vehicle body 200. The mounting base 10 is formed in the shape of a plate body that is arranged vertically and extends forward and backward. The mounting base 10 is provided with two fixing plates 111. The first rotating member 30 is provided with an axial hole that passes vertically. The fixing plates 111 are connected to the first rotating member 30 via a first connecting shaft 31, and the first rotating member 30 can rotate around the first connecting shaft 31. The mounting base 10 is provided with a second mounting portion 12. The second mounting portion 12 is connected to the first section 41 of the second rotating member 40 via a third connecting shaft, and the second rotating member 40 can rotate around the third connecting shaft. The lower end of the mounting base 10 is provided with a first support portion 14, and the mounting base 10 is connected to the lower end of the support rod 70 via the first support portion 14 to achieve a ball head connection.

[0097] As shown in Figure 5, the connecting base 20 includes a first connecting plate 21 and a second connecting plate 22. The first connecting plate 21 is formed with a door connection hole 211, through which the connecting base 20 is fixed to the vehicle door 300. The second connecting plate 22 is provided with a first connecting portion 2211. The second end 52 of the first articulated arm 50 is connected to the second connecting portion 2231 via a sixth connecting axis 82, allowing the first articulated arm 50 to rotate about the sixth connecting axis 82.

When the door needs to be opened, the support rod 70 pushes the connecting base 20 fixed to the door 300 through the connecting base 20, thereby driving the first rotating member 30, the second rotating member 40, the first hinge arm 50, and the second hinge arm 60 to rotate. Specifically, when the support rod 70 pushes the door 300, the first rotating member 30 rotates horizontally outward about the vertically extending first axis L1, and the second rotating member 40 flips upward about the third axis L3 extending forward and backward. The first hinge arm 50 and the first rotating member 30 are linked together, and the second hinge arm 60 and the second rotating member 40 are linked together, forming a composite four-bar linkage with the connecting base 20 and the mounting base 10, thereby synchronously pushing the door 300 upward and outward.

[0100] According to the vehicle 1000 of the present invention, the hinge assembly 100 occupies a small volume, making it suitable for a wider range of smaller vehicles. The door opening process is also more labor-efficient. Furthermore, when the door 300 is initially opened, its initial motion trajectory tends to be a pure Y-direction (left-right) rotation, thereby increasing the universality of the hinge assembly 100.
