Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a tail box cover of a pickup truck. Background Art

[0002] As a common vehicle type, pickup trucks have both the comfort of sedans and strong power. As pickup trucks have strong cargo carrying and poor road adaptability capabilities, their comprehensive performance has made them one of the most common off-road vehicles. In order to enable pickup trucks to adapt to more diverse environments, most existing pickup trucks need to be equipped with a hood, which is composed of multiple panels. When in use, the hood is folded and laid flat when not in use to cover the rear trunk of the pickup truck. In the process of opening the existing cover from the folded state to covering the rear trunk, the rotating panel is easy to fall, resulting in increased friction of the rubber strip, which is easy to wear out the rubber strip, and the folded cover is easy to rub against the vehicle body. Summary of the invention

[0003] An embodiment of the present invention provides a pickup truck trunk cover to at least solve the technical problem of rubber strip wear.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A pickup truck trunk cover is detachably mounted on the trunk of the pickup truck. The pickup truck trunk cover is formed by splicing a plurality of panels. A hinge system is pivotally connected at the splicing position of two adjacent panels, so that one panel can rotate relative to another adjacent panel.

[0006] The hinge system includes a plurality of spaced-apart transfer parts and two oppositely disposed rotating parts, each transfer part has a frame and two rotating shafts, each rotating part is provided with an arc groove at a position facing the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the arc groove;

[0007] A limiting member is arranged on a side of at least one of the two rotating parts close to the frame. The limiting member has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is rotationally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is arranged between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0008] The pickup truck trunk cover provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a limit piece between the rotating part and the adapter part, and the fixing surface, contact surface and torsion portion of the limit piece cooperate to provide auxiliary support and limit the plate, thereby preventing the rotating plate from falling easily when the cover is opened from a folded state to cover the trunk, thereby increasing the friction of the rubber strip of the seal and easily wearing out the rubber strip in the seal, and avoiding friction between the folded cover and the pickup truck body.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed surface of the stopper is connected to the rotating part, and the contact surface abuts against the side surface of the frame. In this way, the contact surface abuts against the side surface of the frame and can freely adapt to the contact position and state with the side surface of the frame.

[0010] Further, the fixing surface is located at a position where the limiting member is close to the rotating part, and the contact surface is located at a position where the limiting member is close to the frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the pickup truck trunk cover has a flat state and a folded state. When the pickup truck trunk is in the folded state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter are in a flat state. When the pickup truck trunk is in the flat state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter are in a vertical state or non-horizontal state. This arrangement adapts to the switching between the flat state and the folded state of the pickup truck trunk cover, and provides auxiliary support and limit for the plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame is concave, and two rotating shafts are arranged at the raised positions on both sides of the concave depression. This arrangement specifically provides the relative positions between the frame and the two rotating shafts.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one reinforcing member is set up at the transition point of two adjacent plates. In this way, on the basis of the limiting member, the reinforcing member is arranged to further improve the supporting and limiting effects. On the other hand, the reinforcing member can prevent the frame from breaking and the plate from flying off. It can be a webbing to play a safety role.

[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcing member is arched, and the left and right sides of the bottom end of the arch are provided with mounting parts, and the reinforcing member can be twisted and deformed. In this way, the arched design improves the support and compression resistance performance.

[0015] Furthermore, the height of the reinforcement piece is higher than the frame. With such arrangement, double support and limitation are achieved, and the effect is better.

[0016] Further, the sealing member comprises a first elastic strip and a second elastic strip arranged opposite to and fitted with the first elastic strip, the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip both have a shaped portion cooperating with the shaped groove at a side away from each other, the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip each have a first arcuate portion and a second arcuate portion at a position close to each other, and cavities are provided inside the first arcuate portion and the second arcuate portion;

[0017] During the assembly process of the seal, a pressure is applied to the middle along both sides of the seal, and the first arc portion and the second arc portion are squeezed against each other, and the cavity shrinks after being squeezed, so that the first arc portion and the second arc portion fit tightly together. This arrangement improves the sealing performance of the two plates in the flat state and the folded state.

[0018] Furthermore, the first elastic strip has an abutment portion on one side facing the transition portion, the abutment portion has an inclined surface, and the second elastic strip has a pressing portion on one side facing the transition portion, and the end of the pressing portion is always in contact or non-contact with the inclined surface;

[0019] During the assembly process of the seal, a pressure is applied along the two sides of the seal toward the middle, and the pressing part is in close contact with the abutting part. During this process, the pressing part does not change state or undergoes adaptive deformation, and the end of the pressing part is inclined along the inclined surface of the abutting part. This arrangement further improves the sealing performance of the two sealing strips during the switching process between the flat state and the folded state, and improves the sealing effect in the flat state and the folded state.

[0020] Furthermore, the pressed part is L-shaped, and the second elastic strip is closer to the front of the vehicle than the first elastic strip. In this way, the L-shaped design has a long side and a short side, and the end of the long side away from the short side is the end, which is easy to deform adaptively, and further pressed by the force of restoring the initial state, so that the connection between them is tighter.

[0038] See also Figure 4The hinge system 2 includes a plurality of spaced-apart transfer parts 21 and two oppositely disposed rotating parts 22. Each transfer part 21 has a frame 212 and two rotating shafts 211. Each rotating part 22 is provided with an arc groove 221 toward the rotating shaft 211. The rotating shaft 211 is pivotally connected to the arc groove 221.

[0039] A limiting member 4 is provided on one side of at least one of the two rotating parts 22 close to the frame 212. The limiting member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is rotatably connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface. The torsion portion can be a torsion spring.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 A limiting member 4 is provided on one side of the rotating portion 22 located on the right side close to the frame 212. The limiting member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0041] In other embodiments, see Fig. 9 A limit member 4 is provided on one side of the rotating portion 22 located on the left side close to the frame 212. The limit member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0042] In some other embodiments, see Fig.10 A limiting member 4 is provided on one side of the two rotating parts 22 located on the left and right sides close to the frame 212. The limiting member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0043] The pickup truck trunk cover provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a limit piece between the rotating part and the adapter part, and the fixing surface, contact surface and torsion portion of the limit piece cooperate to provide auxiliary support and limit the plate, thereby preventing the rotating plate from falling easily when the cover is opened from a folded state to cover the trunk, thereby increasing the friction of the rubber strip of the seal and easily wearing out the rubber strip in the seal, and avoiding friction between the folded cover and the pickup truck body.

[0044] See also Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In order to make the stopper 4 adapt to the change of the position and angle of the frame 212, the fixed surface of the stopper 4 is connected to the rotating part 22, and the contact surface abuts against the side of the frame 212.

The fixed surface is located at the position of the stopper 4 close to the rotating part 22, and the contact surface is located at the position of the stopper 4 close to the frame 212.

[0045] The pickup truck trunk cover has a flat state and a folded state. The flat state of the pickup truck trunk cover covers the trunk, and the folded state of the pickup truck trunk cover opens the trunk. The direction close to the rear of the pickup truck is the starting end of the folding, and the direction close to the front of the pickup truck is the ending end of the folding. Multiple cover plates are arranged on the path from the starting end to the ending end. When the pickup truck trunk is in the folded state, the fixed surface and the contact surface of the limiter 4 are in a flat state. When the pickup truck trunk is in the flat state, the fixed surface and the contact surface of the limiter 4 are in a vertical state or non-horizontal state. Adapting to the switching between the flat state and the folded state of the pickup truck trunk cover, the plate is auxiliary supported and limited.

[0046] Please continue to see Figure 4 The frame 212 is concave, and two rotating shafts 211 are arranged at the raised positions on both sides of the concave depression. The relative positions between the frame 212 and the two rotating shafts 211 are specifically given.

On the basis of the limiting member 4, the reinforcing member 3 is arranged to further improve the supporting and limiting effects. On the other hand, the reinforcing member 4 can prevent the frame 212 from breaking and the plate 1 from flying off. It can be a webbing to play a role of insurance.

[0048] Please continue to see Fig.12 The reinforcing member 3 is arched, and the left and right sides of the bottom of the arch have mounting portions 31, and the reinforcing member 4 can be twisted and deformed. The arched design improves the support and compression resistance, and the height of the reinforcing member 3 is higher than the frame 212. Double support and limit, better effect.

[0049] Please attend Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sealing member 23 includes a first elastic strip 231 and a second elastic strip 232 which is arranged opposite to and fitted with the first elastic strip 231. The first elastic strip 231 and the second elastic strip 232 have shaped portions 2311 and 2321 which match the shaped groove 223 on the sides away from each other.
