DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, they will be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings below.

[0055] The electric strut is a driving device that automatically props up the car's tailgate. Since the electric strut generates a large load on the tailgate, the tailgate is usually required to have high strength and rigidity when it is supported by the electric strut. Most electric tailgate products on the market are divided into single-drive (single drive motor, single electric strut) and dual-drive (two drive motors, two electric struts). The single-drive type has a lower cost and is more common in ordinary family cars. However, at the moment of opening and under misoperation, the force of the electric strut can be as high as 4000N, and the rigidity, strength and reliability requirements at the mounting point on the side of the vehicle body are very high.

[0056] However, in the current vehicles using single-drive electric struts, the rigidity and strength at the mounting points on the body side are poor, which poses a high risk and is difficult to meet user needs.

[0057] In this regard, the present application provides an installation structure for an electric support rod, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting structure of the electric strut may include a mounting member 1, a connecting member 2 and a reinforcing member 3; the mounting member 1 has a protruding portion 11, the connecting member 2 is arranged on the outer side wall of the protruding portion 11 on the first side, and is used to connect with the electric strut; the reinforcing member 3 is suitable for being connected between the rear taillight mounting plate 100 of the vehicle and the mounting member 1.

[0058] It should be noted that the installation structure of the electric support rod provided in the present application is located at the rear side of the vehicle body (for example Figure 1 The electric support rod is located at the left side enclosure assembly of the vehicle, specifically at the inner side of the rear taillight mounting plate 100 and below the rear water gutter body 200. Since the installation position of the electric support rod belongs to the conventional setting in the field, this simple explanation is given for ease of understanding and no further elaboration is given here.

[0059] In the electric support rod installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 1 has a raised portion 11, and the connecting member 2 is arranged on the raised portion 11. The connecting member 2 can be connected to the electric support rod to support it, wherein the raised structure of the mounting member 1 can enhance the overall strength of the installation area, so that it can better withstand the reaction force when the electric support rod pushes the tailgate. In addition, an additional reinforcement member 3 is also provided between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, which is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the connection between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, and thus providing more supporting force. Compared with the related art, the strength and rigidity of the electric support rod installation are significantly improved, the working reliability of the electric support rod is ensured, and the risk of damage is reduced.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting member 1 includes a raised portion 11 and a remaining portion except the raised portion 11, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the raised portion 11 is L-shaped, a portion of the L-shaped structure is spaced apart from the reinforcement 3 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, one end of the connecting member 2 is embedded in the other portion, and the remaining portion is in contact with the reinforcement 3. Since the mounting member 1 has the raised portion 11, the strength and rigidity of the electric strut mounting location can be improved, and a reinforcement 3 is provided between the remaining portion and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, which provides better support.

[0061] It should also be noted that the electric strut installation structure currently on the market generally adopts a threaded connection method. During the long-term driving of the vehicle, the threaded connection will be constantly subjected to external force impacts caused by vibration, bumps and various complex road conditions. The threaded connection relies on the friction and pre-tightening force between the threads to maintain the tight state. These external forces can easily cause the torque at the threaded connection to continue to decay and gradually become loose, and there is a certain risk of reliability.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Therefore, one end of the connector 2 is connected to the mounting member 1 by riveting, which is more secure and can avoid the reliability problem caused by the threaded connection falling off due to torque attenuation.

[0063] Optionally, the connecting member 2 is a ball pin.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the reinforcement 3 are connected to the rear tail light mounting plate 100 , and there is a gap between part of the reinforcement 3 and the rear tail light mounting plate 100 , and a closed cavity 31 is formed between the reinforcement 3 and the rear tail light mounting plate 100 .

[0065] In the installation structure of the electric strut provided in the embodiment of the present application, a closed cavity 31 is formed between the reinforcement 3 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100. The closed cavity 31 structure itself is equivalent to a small "frame" structure, which can effectively disperse the forces generated when the electric strut is working. For example, when the electric strut is extended or contracted to open or close the tailgate of the vehicle, a certain pulling force, pressure or torque and other forces will be applied to the installation part. The closed cavity 31 can transmit these forces to a wider area, avoid stress concentration at the local installation point of the electric strut, improve the ability of this place to withstand repeated forces, and ensure that the electric strut can work stably for a long time without failure due to structural deformation at the installation place.

[0066] In addition, the closed cavity 31 helps to improve the overall rigidity of the vehicle's rear taillight installation area and even the surrounding area, including the electric strut installation area. The vehicle will inevitably vibrate during driving, especially when passing through bumpy roads. If the rigidity of this area is insufficient, the electric strut installation area is prone to shaking, affecting its normal transmission and support function for the tailgate. The closed cavity 31 structure can make the entire area better resist the impact of vibration.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting member 1 includes a first flange 12, which is connected to the raised portion 11 and is attached to the reinforcement member 3; the mounting structure of the electric support rod also includes at least two fixing members 4, which are connected between the first flange 12 and the reinforcement member 3 and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first flange 12.

[0068] In the installation structure of the electric strut provided in the embodiment of the present application, at least two fixing members 4 are provided, and the first flange 12 of the mounting member 1 and the reinforcement member 3 are connected by at least two fixing members 4, so that a more stable and tight connection structure 15 is formed between the reinforcement plate and the mounting member 1. Compared with the single-point connection method, this fixing method can better limit the possibility of relative displacement between the two components. During the driving of the vehicle, due to external forces such as vibration and bumps, each component is prone to slight movement and deformation. If the connection is not firm, it may cause a gap or misalignment at the connection between the originally fitted first flange 12 and the reinforcement member 3. Increasing the number of connection points can improve the reliability of the connection.

[0069] Optionally, the first flange 12 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement member 3 by welding, and the fixing member 4 is a connection structure 15 formed by solidification of a molten welding rod. Those skilled in the art can select and adjust the number of fixing members 4 according to actual needs.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle further includes a rear water trough body 200 , and the reinforcement 3 may include a second flange 32 , at least a portion of the second flange 32 is overlapped to the rear water trough body 200 and connected to the rear water trough body 200 .

[0071] It should be noted that the rear water channel body 200 does not exist in isolation in the vehicle body structure. It is often assembled and connected with many parts at the rear of the vehicle body. For example, it may be connected to the side outer panel, rear panel, etc. through welding, bolt connection, etc.

[0072] In the electric support rod installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second flange 32 of the reinforcing plate overlaps the water trough body, and a relatively continuous contact area is formed between the two. The contact area forms a "force transmission channel", and the force released by the electric support rod and the tension spring system can spread to other parts of the rear water trough body 200 along the contact surface between the second flange 32 of the reinforcing plate and the rear water trough body 200. For example, when the force acts on a certain part of the reinforcing plate, through the close fit between the second flange 32 and the rear water trough body 200, it will be transmitted to the rear water trough body 200 and other components connected to the rear water trough body 200 in the form of pressure along the fitting surface, and then gradually transmitted to a wider area of ​​the rear of the vehicle body and reduced the force, which can avoid stress concentration.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rear taillight mounting plate 100 may include a third flange 101 , at least a portion of which is overlapped to the rear gutter body 200 and connected to the rear gutter body 200 .

[0074] By providing the third flange 101 and overlapping the third flange 101 on the rear gutter body 200, the force released by the electric support rod and the tension spring system to the rear taillight mounting plate 100 can be transmitted to the rear gutter body 200 and other components at the rear of the vehicle body, thereby avoiding stress concentration. This part is the same as the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the first flange 12 is different from that of the second flange 32 , and the density of the material of the first flange 12 is greater than the density of the material of the second flange 32 .

[0076] As can be seen from the figure, the function of the first flange 12 is to achieve a fixed connection between the mounting member 1 and the reinforcement member 3, and the area of ​​the first flange 12 is relatively small. The function of the second flange 32 is to transfer the force transmitted from the electric support rod to the reinforcement member 3 to the rear water tank body 200, and the area is relatively large. Therefore, in order to effectively control the increase in weight and cost, the area of ​​the first flange 12 is relatively small, and the structural strength requirements at the connection between the first flange 12 and the reinforcement member 3 are relatively high, so a material with a relatively high density can be used; the area of ​​the second flange 32 is relatively large, and the requirements for the connection strength are relatively low, so a material with a relatively low density can be used. By selecting the material, the weight is controlled and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0077] Optionally, the first flange 12 is made of galvanized sheet; and / or the second flange 32 is made of non-galvanized sheet.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcement 3 may include a first reinforcement plate 33 and a second reinforcement plate 34 connected to each other, the first reinforcement plate 33 is arranged between the rear taillight mounting plate 100 and the mounting member 1, and at least a portion of the second reinforcement plate 34 is exposed from the mounting member 1; wherein the thickness of the first reinforcement plate 33 is greater than the thickness of the second reinforcement plate 34.

[0079] In the installation structure of the electric strut provided in the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the structural strength of the electric strut installation location and reduce the weight in a targeted manner, the reinforcement 3 is divided into a first reinforcement plate 33 and a second reinforcement plate 34, wherein the first reinforcement plate 33 is located between the rear taillight mounting plate 100 and the mounting member 1, which plays a vital role in the structural strength of the electric strut installation location and has a relatively small area. The second reinforcement plate 34 is in contact with the rear taillight mounting plate 100, and can transmit the applied force to other parts of the rear taillight mounting plate 100, where the applied force has been weakened and has a relatively large area. Therefore, for cost and quality considerations, the thickness of the first reinforcement plate 33 can be greater than the thickness of the second reinforcement plate 34, which greatly reduces the material cost and the quality of the reinforcement 3 while ensuring that the performance is not affected, which is conducive to meeting the lightweight requirements of the vehicle.

[0080] Optionally, the thickness of the first reinforcing plate 33 is 1.0 mm-1.4 mm, and the thickness of the second reinforcing plate 34 is 0.8 mm-1.2 mm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the first reinforcing plate 33 is 1.2 mm, and the thickness of the second reinforcing plate 34 is 1.0 mm.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting member 1 includes a first portion 13 and a second portion 14 connected to each other, and the connecting member 2 is disposed on an outer side wall of the first portion 13 ; wherein the thickness of the first portion 13 is greater than the thickness of the second portion 14 .

[0082] In the installation structure of the electric strut provided in the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the structural strength of the electric strut installation location in a targeted manner and reduce the weight, the installation member 1 is divided into a first part 13 and a second part 14, wherein the connecting member 2 is arranged on the first part 13, which is directly subjected to the force applied by the electric strut, and plays a vital role in the structural strength of the electric strut installation location. The second part 14 is mainly used to connect with the reinforcement 3 and transmit the force to the reinforcement 3 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100. Therefore, for cost and quality considerations, the thickness of the first part 13 can be greater than the thickness of the second part 14, which greatly reduces the material cost and the quality of the reinforcement 3 while ensuring that the performance is not affected, which is conducive to meeting the lightweight requirements of the vehicle.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the mounting member 1 also includes a connecting structure 15, and the first flange 12 includes a first sub-flange 121 and a second sub-flange 122; the first part 13 and the second part 14 are both L-shaped components, one side of the first part 13 is connected to the first sub-flange 121, and the other side is connected to the second part 14, and the free end of the second part 14 is connected to the second sub-flange 122; wherein, there is a gap between the part of the second part 14 connected to the second sub-flange 122 and the first part 13, and the connecting structure 15 is located at the gap and connects the first part 13 and the second part 14.

[0084] In the electric support rod installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application, the installation member 1 itself is a "box-like structure", specifically, an L-shaped first part 13 and an L-shaped second part 14 are connected to form a "box-like structure" with an open side, and the first part 13 and the second part 14 are reinforced by a connecting structure 15, so that the installation member 1 itself has high structural strength and rigidity, and can support the electric support rod through the connecting member 2.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the second side of the raised portion 11 is open and has a gap 16 with the rear tail lamp mounting plate 100 , and the second side is opposite to the first side.

[0086] In the installation structure of the electric strut provided in the embodiment of the present application, since the mounting member 1 is connected to the reinforcement member 3 through the first sub-flange 121 and the second sub-flange 122 to form a box-like structure, and the second side of the raised portion 11 is away from the installation position of the connecting member 2, the force on the second side itself is relatively small. Therefore, it can be set to an open form (i.e., the interval 16 in the figure). Under the premise of ensuring that the performance is basically unaffected, it can provide sufficient riveting operation space and effectively reduce the weight.

[0087] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned installation structure of the electric strut.

[0088] In the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 1 has a raised portion 11, and the connecting member 2 is arranged on the raised portion 11, and the connecting member 2 can be connected to the electric support rod to support it, wherein the raised structure of the mounting member 1 can enhance the overall strength of the mounting area, so that it can better withstand the reaction force when the electric support rod pushes the tailgate. In addition, a reinforcement member 3 is additionally arranged between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, which is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the connection between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the mounting member 1 and the rear taillight mounting plate 100, and thus providing more supporting force.

[0089] Furthermore, the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned electric strut mounting structure, significantly improves the strength and rigidity of the electric strut mounting point compared to the vehicles in the related art, thereby ensuring the working reliability of the electric strut, reducing the risk of damage, reducing the vehicle's maintenance costs, and improving the user experience.

[0090] Optionally, the vehicle includes a left side panel assembly 300 and a right side panel assembly 400 ; the mounting structure of the electric strut may be provided on the left side panel assembly 300 and / or the right side panel assembly 400 .

[0091] In some embodiments, for vehicles with relatively light tailgates that do not require extremely high precision and stability in opening and closing of the tailgate, such as some economy cars, an electric support rod can be provided on one of the left side panel assembly 300 and the right side panel assembly 400 of the vehicle.

[0092] In other embodiments, for vehicles such as medium and large SUVs and hatchbacks with heavier tailgates and larger opening angles, as well as high-end vehicles with higher requirements for vehicle configuration and quality and focus on user experience, an electric strut can be provided on the left side enclosure assembly 300 and the right side enclosure assembly 400 of the vehicle. Having electric struts on both sides can enable the struts on both sides to work in a coordinated manner to jointly bear the weight of the tailgate and various forces during the movement, thereby ensuring that the tailgate is evenly stressed during the opening and closing process.

[0093] It should be noted that for vehicles with an electric strut on one side, the side without the electric strut also needs to be equipped with a tension spring, and one end of the tension spring is generally provided with a hook, which is connected to the hook position reserved on the inner wall of the trunk (such as the mounting member 1 or the reinforcement member 3) through the hook. Therefore, the side without the electric strut also needs to be equipped with a corresponding reinforcement component.

[0094] In one example, the mounting structure of the electric strut is arranged on the left side enclosure assembly 300, and a first plate 5 is arranged on the right side enclosure assembly 400 at a position symmetrical to the mounting member 1, and a second plate 6 is arranged at a position symmetrical to the reinforcement member 3. The first plate 5 and the second plate 6 are arranged for reinforcement and for connection with the tension spring.

[0095] In another example, the mounting structure of the electric strut is arranged on the right side enclosure assembly 400, and a third plate 7 is arranged on the left side enclosure assembly 300 at a position symmetrical to the mounting member 1, and a fourth plate 8 is arranged at a position symmetrical to the reinforcement member 3. The third plate 7 and the fourth plate 8 are arranged for reinforcement and for connection with the tension spring.
