[0061] See also Figures 1 to 16 In order to achieve the above objectives, this application discloses the following technical solutions:

[0062] A tailgate system 10 includes a tailgate 1, a hinge assembly 2, a glass 3, a tailgate lock assembly 4, a sealing assembly 5 and a lifting assembly (not shown); the glass 3 and the lifting assembly are arranged inside the tailgate 1, and the lifting assembly is connected to the glass 3 in a transmission manner to lift the glass 3; the tailgate 1 is arranged at the rear of the vehicle body 20 through the hinge assembly 2, and the hinge assembly 2 is configured to rotate around a first axial direction and around a second axial direction, and the first axial direction is perpendicular to the second axial direction; the tailgate lock assembly 4 can realize the opening or closing of the tailgate 1; the sealing assembly 5 includes a groove 51 and a sealing strip 52, when the tailgate 1 is in a closed state, the groove 51 forms a seal with the glass 3, and the sealing strip 52 forms a seal between the tailgate 1 and the vehicle body; the tailgate system 10 includes a glass opening mode, a side opening mode and a rear flip opening mode; in the glass opening mode, the lifting assembly operates; in the side opening mode, the hinge assembly 2 rotates around the first axial direction to rotate the tailgate 1 to the side opening position; in the rear flip opening mode, the hinge assembly 2 rotates around the second axial direction to rotate the tailgate 1 to the rear flip opening position.

[0063] The above-mentioned tailgate system 10 of the present application includes three modes, namely glass opening mode, side opening mode and rear flip opening mode. When the tailgate 1 is against a wall or in a small space, the opening of the tailgate 1 is restricted. At this time, it can be switched to the glass opening mode, and the user's need to pick up items can be met by lowering the glass 3. When in a height-restricted place such as an underground garage, it can be switched to the side opening mode or the rear flip opening mode, and the user's need to enter the trunk and carry goods can be met by opening the tailgate 1 sideways or by flipping the tailgate 1 from behind. It can be seen that the above-mentioned tailgate system 10 of the present application can meet various opening requirements of the tailgate 1 and improve the user's experience.

[0064] The function of the hinge assembly 2 is to realize the connection between the tailgate 1 and the rear of the vehicle body 20. Specifically, the hinge assembly 2 includes a first limit hinge 21, a second limit hinge 22, a third limit hinge 23 and a tailgate lock assembly 4.

[0065] That is, the first limit hinge 21, the second limit hinge 22, the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are respectively located at the four corners of the tailgate 1, the first limit hinge 21 and the second limit hinge 22 are arranged along the second axial direction, and the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are arranged along the second axial direction. The first limit hinge 21 and the third limit hinge 23 are arranged along the first axial direction, and the second limit hinge 22 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are arranged along the first axial direction.

[0066] The first limit hinge 21 can rotate around the first axis and the second axis, that is, it can realize rotational opening in two directions. This is the core component for realizing the side opening mode and the rear flip opening mode. The second limit hinge 22, the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are constructed into a locked state and an unlocked state. When the second limit hinge 22 is in the locked state, the second limit hinge 22 can rotate around the second axis, and when it is in the unlocked state, it is disengaged from the transmission; when the third limit hinge 23 is in the locked state, the third limit hinge 23 can rotate around the first axis, and when it is in the unlocked state, it is disengaged from the transmission. It should be noted that when disengaging from the transmission, the connection between the tailgate 1 and the vehicle body 20 is disconnected to prepare for mode switching.

[0067] Glass opening mode: the first limit hinge 21, the second limit hinge 22, the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 may or may not be in motion. Figure 1 However, considering the safety of carrying goods, the operation of raising the glass 3 cannot be performed in the rear flip open mode.

[0068] Lateral opening mode: the second limit hinge 22 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are in the unlocked state, and the third limit hinge 23 is in the locked state. Figure 3 shown.

[0069] Rear flip open mode: the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 are in the unlocked state, and the second limit hinge 22 is in the locked state. Figure 4 shown.

[0070] The first limit hinge 21 can be a single hinge or a combination of multiple hinges. The second limit hinge 22, the third limit hinge 23 and the tailgate lock assembly 4 can be mechanical hinges or electrically controlled hinges. The electrically controlled hinge is electrically connected to the vehicle controller and performs corresponding actions when receiving a mode switching instruction.

[0071] In the above, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0072] In some examples of the present application, a first button 11, a second button and a third button electrically connected to the controller may also be provided, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, each button corresponds to a working mode, the first button 11 corresponds to the glass 3 lifting mode, the second button corresponds to the lateral opening mode, and the third button corresponds to the rear flip opening mode. The controller responds to the pressing state of the first button 11, and controls the lifting component to drive the glass 3 to rise or lower; the controller responds to the pressing state of the second button, and controls the lifting component to drive the glass 3 to lower and switch to the lateral opening mode; the controller responds to the pressing state of the third button, and controls the lifting component to drive the glass 3 to be stored in the tailgate 1, and switch to the rear flip opening mode. The tailgate 1 and the corresponding limit hinge can be opened by operating the first button 11, the second button and the third button, so that the tailgate 1 can be opened by electric control, which saves the operating procedures of the staff and improves the convenience of the tailgate 1 opening process.

[0073] The first button 11, the second button and the third button are located on the tailgate 1, so that the staff who need to carry the goods can directly operate the buttons to select the opening direction of the tailgate 1. Specifically, the tailgate system 10 also includes a first handle 12 and a second handle 13, the first handle 12 is arranged near the left side of the tailgate 1, and the second handle 13 is arranged in the middle of the tailgate 1. In some embodiments, the first button 11 and the second button are arranged near the first handle 12, and the third button is arranged near the second handle 13.

[0074] Specifically, the second button is integrated on the first handle 12. When the first handle 12 is operated, pressing the second button can unlock the corresponding limit hinge and realize the lateral opening of the tailgate 1; the third button is integrated on the second handle 13. When the second handle 13 is operated, pressing the third button can unlock the corresponding limit hinge and realize the rear flip opening of the tailgate 1.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the above-mentioned buttons can also be located at the driver's seat in the car, or can be remotely controlled by buttons on the car key, which can provide a variety of control options and further increase the convenience of operation. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0076] See also Figures 5 to 9 The present application discloses a specific structure of a first limit hinge 21, which includes a first fixed page 211, a second fixed page 212 and a movable page 213.

[0077] In the lateral opening mode, the movable page 213 rotates around the first rotation axis relative to the first fixed page 211 and rotates to the lateral opening position, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown; conversely, the tailgate 1 can be switched from the lateral open position to the closed position.

[0078] In the rear flip open mode, the second fixed page 212 rotates around the second rotation axis and rotates to the rear flip open position. Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, on the contrary, the tailgate 1 can be switched from the rear flip open position to the closed position.

[0079] In order to reduce the occurrence of stuck positions and other phenomena during the switching process between different modes and improve the operating experience, the first limit hinge 21 also includes a torsion spring 214 and a torsion spring seat 215, one end of the torsion spring 214 is fixed to the movable page 213, and the other end of the torsion spring 214 is fixed to the torsion spring seat 215, and the torsion spring seat 215 is fixed to the tailgate 1. Due to the provision of the torsion spring 214, when the tailgate 1 is opened sideways, the movable page 213 takes priority, thereby reducing the occurrence of stuck positions. In addition, the torsion spring 214 ensures that the tailgate 1 will not freely flip down within a certain angle. After exceeding this angle, since the gravity is greater than the limit of the torsion spring 214, the tailgate 1 can freely flip down, fully ensuring the safety of the user.

[0080] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the diagram discloses the structure of the second limit hinge 22, which includes a first hinge seat 221 arranged on the vehicle body 20, an auxiliary page 222 arranged on the tailgate 1 and a first hinge lock 223; the first hinge seat 221 includes a first hinge rod 2211 and a second hinge rod 2212, and the first hinge rod 2211 and the second hinge rod 2212 are arranged side by side; the auxiliary page 222 can be hung on the first hinge rod 2211; the second hinge rod 2212 is hung on the first hinge lock 223, and is constructed into a locked state and an unlocked state, in which the second limit hinge 22 can rotate around the second axis in the locked state; in the unlocked state, the first hinge seat 221 is disengaged from the auxiliary page 222 and the first hinge lock 223.

[0081] The auxiliary page 222 includes a groove, and when the second hinge rod 2212 and the first hinge lock 223 are locked, the first hinge rod 2211 cooperates with the groove and can rotate around the second axial direction. When the second hinge rod 2212 and the first hinge lock 223 are unlocked, the first hinge rod 2211 can be disengaged from the groove.

[0082] See also Figures 13 to 16The third position-limiting hinge 23 includes a second hinge seat 231 arranged on the vehicle body 20, a second hinge lock 232 and a pull rope 233 arranged on the tailgate 1.
