Abstract

The invention discloses a vehicle. The vehicle includes a body rear assembly and a tailgate. The tail door is suitable for being matched with a vehicle body rear assembly. One of the tail door and the vehicle body rear assembly is provided with a first protrusion, and the other one of the tail door and the vehicle body rear assembly is provided with at least one blocking part. When the tail door rotates towards the automobile body rear assembly by a first angle to reach the closing position, the first protrusion and the blocking part are spaced. When the tail door rotates towards the vehicle body rear assembly by a second angle larger than the first angle, the first protrusion abuts against the blocking part and is pushed by the blocking part, and the tail door restores to rotate by the first angle relative to the vehicle body rear assembly to reach the closing position. In this way, when the tail door is closed violently, the first protrusion abuts against the stopping part, and the situation that the rotation angle of the tail door is too large can be avoided. In this way, a proper gap can be kept between the tail door and the vehicle body rear assembly, mutual interference is avoided, and the appearance quality of the vehicle can be improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly to a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the field of automobiles, the tailgate of a vehicle generally refers to the door of the automobile trunk. The tailgate is rotatably mounted on the vehicle body to facilitate opening or closing of the automobile trunk.

[0003] When the tailgate is forcefully closed (for example, the closing speed of the tailgate is greater than or equal to 2 m / s), the rotation angle of the tailgate may increase. The increase in the rotation angle of the tailgate will further cause the gap between the tailgate and the adjacent rear body components of the vehicle to become too small, and even cause interference between the tailgate and the adjacent rear body components, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, this application provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes: a rear body component and a tailgate. The tailgate is adapted to cooperate with the rear body component; at least one first protrusion is formed on one of the tailgate and the rear body component, and at least one stopping portion is formed on the other of the tailgate and the rear body component. When the tailgate rotates a first angle relative to the rear body component to reach the closed position, the first protrusion is spaced apart from the stopping portion; when the tailgate rotates a second angle greater than the first angle relative to the rear body component, the first protrusion abuts against the stopping portion and is pushed by the stopping portion, so that the tailgate returns to rotate the first angle relative to the rear body component to reach the closed position.

[0005] In one embodiment, the tailgate includes a tailgate body and two side frames extending vertically upward from the tailgate body, and the two side frames are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction; a first protrusion is provided on the inner surface of each side frame.

[0006] In one embodiment, the height at which the first protrusion protrudes from the inner surface of the side frame is between 10 mm and 15 mm.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first protrusion and / or the stopping portion is flexible.

[0008] In one embodiment, the rear body component includes two taillights spaced apart in the transverse direction; each taillight includes a taillight body and a shielding plate mounted on the taillight body; the shielding plate is adapted to cooperate with the corresponding side frame, and the stopping portion is formed on the shielding plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the shielding plate includes a first extension portion extending vertically and a second extension portion extending laterally outward from the upper edge of the first extension portion; the stopping portion is formed at the lateral edge of the second extension portion and extends vertically upward.

[0010] In one embodiment, the rear body assembly further includes a rear bulkhead and two taillight mounting plates extending vertically upward from the rear bulkhead, the two taillight mounting plates being spaced apart from each other horizontally; two taillights are respectively mounted on the corresponding taillight mounting plates.

[0011] In one embodiment, at least one second protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the tailgate main body; the second protrusion is adapted to abut against the rear body assembly when the tailgate is in the closed position.

[0012] In one embodiment, the height by which the second protrusion protrudes from the inner surface of the tailgate main body is greater than the height by which the first protrusion protrudes from the inner surface of the frame.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second protrusion is flexible.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: In the vehicle of the present application, a first protrusion is formed on the tailgate; a stop portion corresponding to the first protrusion is formed on the rear body assembly. In this way, when the tailgate is normally closed, the first protrusion is spaced apart from the stop portion to avoid affecting the normal closing of the tailgate. When the tailgate is slammed shut, the first protrusion abuts against the stop portion and is pushed by the stop portion to prevent the rotation angle of the tailgate from being too large, and thereby create and maintain an appropriate gap between the tailgate and the rear body assembly, avoiding interference between the tailgate and the rear body assembly, which helps to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] In the present application, the term "inside" refers to the direction towards the interior of the vehicle; the term "outside" refers to the direction towards the exterior of the vehicle. The term "vertical" refers to the direction generally perpendicular to the ground. The term "horizontal" refers to the width direction of the vehicle.

[0040] Figure 1 Schematically shows the vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3As shown, vehicle 1 includes a rear body assembly 2 and a tailgate 3 that mates with the rear body assembly 2. At least some components of the rear body assembly 2 (e.g., the rear bulkhead 20 described below) are used to form the trunk of vehicle 1 (not shown in the figure). The tailgate 3 can be rotatably mated with or disengaged from the rear body assembly 2 to close or open the trunk. The rotational structure of the tailgate 3 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] As Figure 4a and Figure 4b shown, at least one first protrusion 311 is formed on the tailgate 3. At least one stop portion 223 is formed on the rear body assembly 2 (as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown). The stop portion 223 corresponds to the first protrusion 311. It should be understood that the first protrusion 311 can also be formed on the rear body assembly 2; correspondingly, the stop portion 223 is formed on the tailgate 3.

[0042] When the tailgate 3 is normally closed (e.g., the closing speed of the tailgate 3 is less than 2 m / s), the tailgate 3 rotates a first angle (e.g., the first angle is between 60 degrees and 70 degrees) toward the rear body assembly 2 so that the tailgate 3 reaches the closed position. After the tailgate 3 is closed, the first protrusion 311 is spaced apart from the stop portion 223.

[0043] When the tailgate 3 is forcefully closed (e.g., the closing speed of the tailgate 3 is greater than or equal to 2 m / s), the tailgate 3 rotates a second angle greater than the first angle (e.g., the second angle is approximately 0.8 degrees larger than the first angle) toward the rear body assembly 2. In this case, the first protrusion 311 will contact the stop portion 223 and be pushed by the stop portion 223, causing the tailgate 3 to rotate slightly in the reverse direction (i.e., the tailgate 3 rotates slightly away from the rear body assembly 2) to resume rotating the first angle relative to the rear body assembly 2 and thus reach the closed position. After the tailgate 3 is closed, the first protrusion 311 is still spaced apart from the stop portion 223.

[0044] For the vehicle 1 according to the present application, in the case of normally closing the tailgate 3, the first protrusion 311 does not contact the stop portion 223, which does not affect the closing of the tailgate 3. In the case of forcefully closing the tailgate 3, the first protrusion 311 will contact the stop portion 223, which avoids the tailgate 3 from rotating too large an angle, so that an appropriate gap (e.g., the gap is about 6 ± 1.5 mm) is generated and maintained between the tailgate 3 and the rear body assembly 2. In this way, there is no mutual interference between the tailgate 3 and the rear body assembly 2, which helps to avoid the tailgate 3 and / or the rear body assembly 2 from being squeezed and deformed or damaged, and this helps to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1.

[0045] In one embodiment, as Figure 4a and Figure 4bAs shown, the tailgate 3 includes a main body 32 and two side frames 31 extending vertically upward from the main body 32. The two side frames 31 are spaced apart along the transverse direction W. At least one first protrusion 311 is provided on the inner surface of each side frame 31. Overall, the first protrusions 311 are arranged close to the upper part of the tailgate 3 (i.e., the first protrusions 311 are close to the rotation center of the tailgate 3). Thus, the first protrusions 311 can be configured to have a relatively small height protruding from the inner surface of the side frames 31. When the tailgate 3 is closed, the first protrusions 311 with a relatively small height can not only abut against the stopping portion 223, but also help to avoid damage due to the excessive height of the first protrusions 311. In one embodiment, the height of the first protrusions 311 is between 10 mm and 15 mm.

[0046] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the rear body assembly 2 includes a rear panel 20, two taillight mounting plates 21, and taillights 22 mounted on each taillight mounting plate 21. The two taillight mounting plates 21 extend vertically upward from the rear panel 20 and are spaced apart along the transverse direction W, and respectively correspond to the two side frames 31. The taillight mounting plates 21 can be independently formed and then mounted on the rear panel 20. Of course, according to the actual situation, the taillight mounting plates 21 and the rear panel 20 can also be integrally formed. In addition, the rear body assembly 2 may further include other components, such as a rear bumper assembly (not shown in the figure).

[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, each taillight 22 includes a taillight body 224 and a shielding plate 220 mounted on the taillight body 224. Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, the shielding plate 220 includes a first extension portion 221 extending vertically and a second extension portion 222 extending laterally outward from the upper edge of the first extension portion 221. The first extension portion 221 and the second extension portion 222 are both connected to the taillight body 224. In one embodiment, the first extension portion 221 defines a right-angled accommodation space (as Figure 6 shown). After the tailgate 3 is closed, a part of the side frame 31 enters the accommodation space defined by the first extension portion 221, so that the side frame 31 and the shielding plate 220 are fitted together.

[0048] Also as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the stop portion 223 is configured at the lateral edge of the second extension portion 222 and extends upward along the vertical direction Z. Overall, the stop portion 223 generally forms a flanging of the second extension portion 222. In this way, when it is necessary to maintain the stop portion 223, only relevant operations need to be performed on the taillight 22, without involving the rear bulkhead 20 and the tailgate 3, which helps to reduce the maintenance cost. In addition, the taillight 22 usually includes a fragile housing (for example, a lamp cover made of acrylic). Providing the stop portion 223 on the taillight 22 can ensure that there is an appropriate gap between the taillight 22 and the tailgate 3 when the tailgate 3 is violently closed, thereby avoiding damage to the taillight 22.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first extension portion 221 and the second extension portion 222 are integral. The stop portion 223 is formed separately and then assembled onto the second extension portion 222. For example, the first extension portion 221 and the second extension portion 222 are made of a rigid material (such as rigid plastic); while the stop portion 223 is made of a flexible material (such as rubber). Then, the stop portion 223 is bonded or welded to the lateral edge of the second extension portion 222. The "bonding" and "welding" described here are easily achievable by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0050] In addition, for the flexible stop portion 223, when the tailgate 3 is closed, the stop portion 223 can play a buffering role to reduce noise and vibration, which also plays a protective role for the taillight 22. In other embodiments, the first protrusion 331 can also be configured to be flexible.

[0051] In one embodiment, the area of the end face of the first protrusion 311 that abuts against the stop portion 223 is between 50 mm 2 and 6 mm 2 . In this way, the contact area between the first protrusion 311 and the stop portion 223 is relatively large, and even if the tailgate 3 is violently closed, it is not easy to cause damage to the stop portion 223.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 311 is configured as a cylindrical shape or a frustum of a cone shape. Of course, the first protrusion 311 can also be configured in other shapes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Optionally, as also shown in Figure 4a and Figure 4b , a plurality of second protrusions 322 are provided on the inner surface of the tailgate body 32. For example, these second protrusions 322 are provided at the edge of the inner surface of the tailgate body 32. After the tailgate 3 is normally closed, these second protrusions 322 abut against the rear vehicle body assembly 2; for example, against the rear bulkhead 20. According to this structure, the second protrusions 322 help to reduce the surface difference between the tailgate 3 and the adjacent vehicle exterior panels (such as the rear bumper, the rear fender, etc.), thereby helping to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1.

[0054] Optionally, the height by which the second protrusion 322 protrudes from the inner surface of the tailgate body 32 is greater than the height by which the first protrusion 311 protrudes from the inner surface of the frame 31. From the overall view of the tailgate 3, the second protrusion 322 is vertically below the first protrusion 311 along the Z direction, such that the distance from the second protrusion 322 to the rotation center of the tailgate 3 is greater than the distance from the first protrusion 311 to the rotation center of the tailgate 3. Thus, when the tailgate 3 is normally closed, the higher second protrusion 322 abuts against the rear vehicle body assembly 2 (e.g., the rear panel 20), and the first protrusion 311 is spaced apart from the stopper 223.

[0055] In one embodiment, the height of the second protrusion 322 is between 50 mm and 60 mm. Of course, according to actual situations, the second protrusion 322 can also be configured to have other heights, which are not limited herein.

[0056] It should be understood that when the tailgate 3 is slammed shut, the second protrusion 322 will be compressed, and the first protrusion 311 will abut against the stopper 223. After the tailgate 3 is closed, the second protrusion 322 also returns from the compressed state to the normal state and abuts against the rear vehicle body assembly 2 (e.g., the rear panel 20); the first protrusion 311 is then spaced apart from the stopper 223.

[0057] Optionally, the second protrusion 322 is flexible. In this way, when the tailgate 3 is closed, the flexible second protrusion 322 helps to reduce the closing noise and vibration. Moreover, when the tailgate 3 is slammed shut, the flexible second protrusion 322 will be compressed. In one embodiment, the second protrusion 322 can be made of a flexible material such as rubber.

[0058] The above description is only for the embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
