Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive structural technology, specifically to a vehicle tailgate structure. Background Technology
[0002] The tailgate is the door located at the rear of a vehicle. Since the rear of the tailgate connects to the vehicle's trunk, it is also called the tailgate or trunk door.
[0003] A double-opening tailgate structure refers to a tailgate that has both side-opening and downward-opening functions. Since the double-opening tailgate structure uses a frame as a conversion component for side-opening and downward-opening of the tailgate, and the frame is set between the tailgate and the vehicle body, the tailgate often has a stepped protrusion on the inside that cooperates with the frame.
[0004] The tailgate inner trim strip is a strip-shaped component installed on the inner edge of the door, near the window or the edge of the door trim panel. Because the tailgate has a certain height difference in the stepped protrusion, the tailgate inner trim strip forms a corner near the protrusion.
[0005] In existing technologies, sealing strips are often installed on the vehicle body to ensure the sealing performance of the tailgate. However, in the double-opening tailgate structure, the frame between the tailgate and the vehicle body makes it difficult to achieve a good seal at the tailgate. In addition, when the double-opening tailgate structure is closed, the sealing strip is pressed against the corner of the tailgate frame and the inner strip of the tailgate, forming a large water leakage channel between the sealing strip, the tailgate frame and the corner, which affects the tailgate sealing and may even easily cause water to flow from outside the vehicle into the vehicle. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle tailgate structure to solve the problem in the existing double-opening tailgate structure that it is difficult to achieve a good seal at the tailgate, and that a large water leakage channel is formed between the sealing strip, tailgate frame and corner joint, which affects the tailgate sealing.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A vehicle tailgate structure includes: a vehicle body with a first opening on a first side; a frame connected to the vehicle body and having a second opening therethrough, the second opening being at least partially communicating with the first opening; a tailgate connected to the frame and adapted to cover the second opening; a corner joint disposed on the tailgate; a first sealing strip connected to the vehicle body; and a second sealing strip connected to the edge of the frame surrounding the second opening; the second sealing strip includes a first strip and a second strip connected together, the first strip being adapted to abut against the tailgate, and the second strip being adapted to be sandwiched between the corner joint and the first sealing strip.
[0009] According to the above technical means, since the frame is located between the vehicle body and the tailgate, and the frame abuts against the first sealing strip, the first sealing strip cannot seal the tailgate. By setting a second sealing strip at the frame, the second sealing strip includes a first strip body and a second strip body. The first strip body is set around the edge of the second opening. When the tailgate is closed, the tailgate and the first strip body abut against each other to achieve a good seal at the tailgate. When the tailgate is closed, the first sealing strip is pressed against the second strip body, and the second strip body is pressed against the corner. The second strip body is sandwiched between the first sealing strip and the corner, thereby effectively blocking the water leakage channel between the sealing strip, the frame and the corner, and ensuring the sealing performance of the tailgate.
[0010] Furthermore, a portion of the tailgate panel near the vehicle body protrudes towards the vehicle body, forming a protrusion; a first recess is formed on the side of the corner near the tailgate, the first recess engaging with at least a portion of the protrusion so that the corner and at least a portion of the protrusion are opposite each other; the second strip includes a first clamping portion and a first bubble tube connected together, the first clamping portion being connected to the frame; a second recess is formed on the side of the first bubble tube near the tailgate, the second recess engaging with the side of the corner opposite to the first recess.
[0011] According to the above technical means, the second recess is abutted against the side surface of the corner opposite to the first recess. By cooperating with the corner, the sealing performance between the corner, the first sealing strip and the second strip is improved. For protrusions of different heights, the second strip can be compressed and undergo elastic deformation to ensure a good seal between the first sealing strip, the corner and the second strip. In this way, it can accommodate various different height differences of the protrusions and ensure good sealing performance.
[0012] Furthermore, the first bubble tube includes a base bubble tube and a sub-bubble tube. The base bubble tube is connected to the first clamping part, and the sub-bubble tube is connected to the side of the base bubble tube away from the clamping part. At the connection position between the sub-bubble tube and the base bubble tube, the tube body of the sub-bubble tube and / or the base bubble tube is recessed to form a second recess between the sub-bubble tube and the base bubble tube.
[0013] According to the above-mentioned technical means, on the side of the first bubble tube near the corner, and at the connection position between the sub-bubble tube and the base bubble tube, one or both of the base bubble tube and the sub-bubble tube are recessed to form a second recess between the base bubble tube and the sub-bubble tube. The second recess is abutted against the side surface of the corner tube opposite to the first recess. By means of the cooperation between the second recess and the corner tube, the sealing performance between the corner tube, the first sealing strip and the second strip body is improved.
[0014] Furthermore, the vehicle body has a third opening on a second side adjacent to the first side, and the third opening is connected to the first opening; the first sealing strip includes a first segment and a second segment continuously arranged, the first segment being connected to the edge of the vehicle body located at the first opening, and the second segment being connected to the edge of the third opening located at the third opening; the first segment includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment connected at a predetermined angle; the frame is adapted to abut against the first sub-segment, and the second strip is adapted to be sandwiched between the angle and the second sub-segment.
[0015] According to the above technical means, the second sealing strip is an annular strip. The annular strip includes a first segment disposed at the edge of the first opening and a second segment disposed at the edge of the third opening. The first segment also includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment disposed continuously. One end of the second sub-segment is connected to the first sub-segment at a predetermined angle. The strip of the second sub-segment is inclined relative to the z-direction towards the center of the first opening, so that the position of the second sub-segment corresponds to the angle and the position of the second strip in the x-direction, thereby achieving a good sealing fit.
[0016] Furthermore, the first strip includes a second snap-fit portion and a second bubble tube connected together, the second snap-fit portion being connected to the frame, and the second bubble tube being adapted to abut against the back door.
[0017] According to the above technical means, by setting a second snap-fit part and a second bubble tube, the second snap-fit part is snapped into the frame, and the second bubble tube is connected to the side of the second snap-fit part near the back door, so as to ensure that the second bubble tube and the back door abut and cooperate to achieve a good seal.
[0018] Furthermore, the tailgate includes an inner panel and an outer panel, the inner panel and the outer panel are connected, the protrusion is formed in the inner panel, and a cavity is formed between the protrusion and the outer panel; a lifting mechanism is provided in the cavity; the vehicle tailgate structure also includes a window, the window passes through the tailgate and is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is adapted to raise and lower the window.
[0019] According to the above technical means, by setting an inner panel and an outer panel, with the inner panel located on the side of the outer panel closer to the vehicle body, and a protrusion formed on the inner panel, the first strip abuts against the side of the protrusion away from the outer panel, so as to achieve a good seal at the tailgate.
[0020] Furthermore, the inner panel has an inner clip strip on the side near the window, and the inner clip strip extends along the y-direction; at least two of the corner joints are respectively connected to opposite sides of the inner clip strip along the extension direction.
[0021] According to the above technical means, by setting an inner clamping strip, and connecting corners on opposite sides of the inner clamping strip along the y direction, the corners are positioned opposite to the part of the plate near the inner clamping strip of the protrusion, ensuring a good fit.
[0022] Furthermore, the first segment also has a third sub-segment, which is connected at a predetermined angle to the side of the second sub-segment away from the first sub-segment; the surface of the window near the vehicle body is adapted to abut against the third sub-segment.
[0023] According to the above-mentioned technical means, when the window is raised, the third segment abuts against the surface of the window closest to the vehicle body to achieve a good seal at the window.
[0024] Furthermore, the vehicle tailgate structure also includes a top plate that covers the third opening and is adapted to abut against the second section.
[0025] According to the above technical means, the top plate covers the third opening and abuts against the second section to achieve a good seal at the top plate.
[0026] Furthermore, a third sealing strip is provided on the side of the roof panel near the first opening, and the side of the window away from the tailgate is adapted to abut against the third sealing strip; and / or, a fourth sealing strip is provided on the vehicle body near the third sub-segment, and the edge of the window is adapted to abut against the fourth sealing strip.
[0027] According to the above technical means, after the window is raised, the side of the window away from the tailgate abuts against the third sealing strip, and the opposite sides of the window near the third sub-section abut against the fourth sealing strip, so as to achieve a good seal at the window.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0029] (1) Since the frame is located between the vehicle body and the tailgate, and the frame is abutted against the first sealing strip, the first sealing strip cannot seal the tailgate. By setting a second sealing strip at the frame, the second sealing strip includes a first strip body and a second strip body. The first strip body is set around the edge of the second opening. When the tailgate is closed, the tailgate and the first strip body abut against each other to achieve a good seal at the tailgate. When the tailgate is closed, the first sealing strip is pressed against the second strip body, and the second strip body is pressed against the corner. The second strip body is sandwiched between the first sealing strip and the corner, thereby effectively blocking the water leakage channel between the sealing strip, the frame and the corner, and ensuring the sealing performance of the tailgate.
[0030] (2) In this invention, the second recess is abutted against the side surface of the corner opposite to the first recess. By means of the cooperation between the second recess and the corner, the sealing performance between the corner, the first sealing strip and the second strip is improved. For protrusions of different heights, the second strip can be compressed and undergo elastic deformation to ensure a good seal between the first sealing strip, the corner and the second strip. In this way, it can accommodate various different height differences of the protrusions and ensure good sealing performance.
[0031] (3) In this invention, on the side of the first bubble tube near the corner, and at the connection position between the sub-bubble tube and the base bubble tube, one or both of the base bubble tube and the sub-bubble tube are recessed to form a second recess between the base bubble tube and the sub-bubble tube. The second recess is abutted against the side surface of the corner tube away from the first recess. By means of the cooperation between the second recess and the corner tube, the sealing performance between the corner tube, the first sealing strip and the second strip body is improved.
[0032] (4) In this invention, the second sealing strip is an annular strip. The annular strip includes a first segment disposed at the edge of the first opening and a second segment disposed at the edge of the third opening. The first segment also includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment disposed continuously. One end of the second sub-segment is connected to the first sub-segment at a predetermined angle. The strip of the second sub-segment is inclined relative to the z-direction toward the center of the first opening, so that the second sub-segment corresponds to the position of the connecting angle and the second strip in the x-direction, thereby achieving a good sealing fit.
[0033] (5) The present invention provides a second snap-fit part and a second bubble tube. The second snap-fit part is snapped into the frame and the second bubble tube is connected to the side of the second snap-fit part near the back door, so as to ensure that the second bubble tube and the back door abut against each other and achieve good sealing.
[0034] (6) The present invention provides an inner panel and an outer panel, with the inner panel located on the side of the outer panel close to the vehicle body, and a protrusion formed on the inner panel. The first strip abuts against the side of the protrusion away from the outer panel to achieve a good seal at the tailgate.
[0035] (7) The present invention provides an inner clamping strip, and the inner clamping strip is connected to the opposite sides along the y direction with corners, so that the corners are set opposite to the part of the plate near the inner clamping strip of the protrusion, thus ensuring a good fit.
[0036] (8) When the window is raised, the third segment of the present invention abuts against the surface of the window near the vehicle body to achieve a good seal at the window.
[0037] (9) In this invention, the top plate covers the third opening and abuts against the second section to achieve a good seal at the top plate;
[0038] (10) In this invention, after the window is raised, the side of the window away from the tailgate abuts against the third sealing strip, and the opposite sides of the window near the third sub-section abut against the fourth sealing strip, so as to achieve good sealing at the window.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0055] This embodiment proposes a vehicle tailgate structure, such as... Figures 1 to 12 As shown, it includes: a vehicle body 1 with a first opening 11 on a first side; a frame 2 connected to the vehicle body 1 and having a second opening 21 through it, the second opening 21 being at least partially connected to the first opening 11; a tailgate 3 connected to the frame 2 and adapted to cover the second opening 21; a corner joint 4 disposed on the tailgate 3; a first sealing strip 5 connected to the vehicle body 1; and a second sealing strip 6 connected to the edge of the frame 2 surrounding the second opening 21. The second sealing strip 6 includes a first strip 61 and a second strip 62 connected together, the first strip 61 being adapted to abut against the tailgate 3, and the second strip 62 being adapted to be sandwiched between the corner joint 4 and the first sealing strip 5.
[0056] It should be noted that the frame 2 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1 on one side of the first opening 11 along the z-direction, and the frame 2 is also detachably fixed to the vehicle body 1 by means of a first locking component. The tailgate 3 is rotatably connected to the frame 2 at one end along the y-direction, and the tailgate 3 is also detachably fixed to the frame 2 by means of a second locking component. The frame 2 serves as a conversion component for the tailgate 3 to open to the side and to the bottom, and the vehicle tailgate structure has a side-opening state and a bottom-opening state. In the side-opening state, the first locking component is unlocked, and the second locking component remains locked. The frame 2 drives the tailgate 3 to rotate relative to the vehicle body 1 around the y-direction. In the bottom-opening state, the first locking component remains locked, the second locking component is unlocked, and the tailgate 3 rotates relative to the frame 2 around the z-direction. The connection between the frame 2 and the vehicle body 1, and between the tailgate 3 and the frame 2, can be, but is not limited to, rotatable connections via hinges. The first locking component and the second locking component can be, but are not limited to, existing components, such as cooperating mechanical lock hooks and latches.
[0057] Specifically, by setting frame 2 as a conversion component for the side-opening and downward-opening of the tailgate 3, the tailgate structure of the vehicle has a dual-opening function of side-opening and downward-opening. When the tailgate 3 is closed, since frame 2 is located between the vehicle body 1 and the tailgate 3, frame 2 abuts against the first sealing strip 5, and the first sealing strip 5 cannot seal the tailgate 3. In this embodiment, a second sealing strip 6 is set at frame 2. The second sealing strip 6 includes a first strip 61 and a second strip 62. On the one hand, the first strip 61 is set around the edge of the second opening 21, so that the tailgate 3 abuts against the first strip 61 when closed, thereby achieving a good seal at the tailgate 3. On the other hand, the second strip 62 is set opposite to the corner 4 in the x-direction. Therefore, when the tailgate 3 is closed, the first sealing strip 5 is pressed against the second strip 62, and the second strip 62 is pressed against the corner 4. The second strip 62 is sandwiched between the first sealing strip 5 and the corner 4, thereby effectively sealing the water leakage channel between the sealing strip, the frame 2 and the corner 4, ensuring the sealing performance of the tailgate 3 and preventing water from flowing into the vehicle from outside. In addition, in practical applications, the specifications and forms of the water leakage channel are different in different vehicles due to the different structural forms of the tailgate 3. The second sealing strip 6 is made of elastic material, so when the second strip 62 is sandwiched between the corner 4 and the first sealing strip 5, the second strip 62 can be elastically deformed under pressure, thus it can be applied to tailgates with various different structural forms.
[0058] In this embodiment, since the frame 2 is located between the vehicle body 1 and the tailgate 3, and the frame 2 abuts against the first sealing strip 5, the first sealing strip 5 cannot seal the tailgate 3. By setting a second sealing strip 6 at the frame 2, the second sealing strip 6 includes a first strip 61 and a second strip 62. The first strip 61 is set around the edge of the second opening 21. When the tailgate 3 is closed, the tailgate 3 abuts against the first strip 61 to achieve a good seal at the tailgate 3. When the tailgate 3 is closed, the first sealing strip 5 is pressed against the second strip 62, and the second strip 62 is pressed against the corner 4. The second strip 62 is sandwiched between the first sealing strip 5 and the corner 4, thereby effectively blocking the water leakage channel between the sealing strip, the frame 2 and the corner 4, ensuring the sealing performance of the tailgate 3. When the second strip 62 is sandwiched between the corner 4 and the first sealing strip 5, the second strip 62 can be elastically deformed under pressure, thus it can be applied to tailgates with various different structural forms, with strong compatibility.
[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the tailgate 3 has a portion of its panel protruding towards the vehicle body 1, forming a protrusion 31; the corner 4 has a recessed first recess 41 on the side near the tailgate 3, which engages with at least a portion of the protrusion 31 so that the corner 4 and at least a portion of the protrusion 31 are positioned opposite each other; the second strip 62 includes a first clamping part 621 and a first bubble tube 622 connected together, the first clamping part 621 being connected to the frame 2; the tube of the first bubble tube 622 has a recessed second recess 623 on the side near the tailgate 3, which abuts against the side of the corner 4 opposite to the first recess 41.
[0060] Specifically, the corner joint 4 is located on one side of the back door 3 along the z-direction. The first recess 41 and a portion of the plate of the protrusion 31 are in a concave-convex fit, so that the corner joint 4 covers the portion of the plate of the protrusion 31. The second strip 62 includes a first clamping part 621 and a first bubble tube 622. The cross-sectional shape of the first clamping part 621 can be, but is not limited to, U-shaped, to be snapped onto the edge of the frame 2. At least a portion of the tube of the first bubble tube 622 is located on the side of the first clamping part 621 away from the frame 2 to ensure good fit with the corner joint 4 and the first sealing strip 5. A second recess 623 is formed in the tube of the first bubble tube 622 near the back door 3. The second recess 623 and the corner joint 4 are opposite to the first recess. One side surface of 41 is abutted, and the cooperation between the second recess 623 and the corner 4 improves the sealing performance between the corner 4, the first sealing strip 5 and the second strip 62. In addition, in practical applications, the structure and specifications of the corner 4 are different for different structures and heights of protrusions in different vehicles. Therefore, when the second strip 62 is sandwiched between the corner 4 and the first sealing strip 5, the second strip 62 can be compressed and undergo elastic deformation to ensure a good seal between the first sealing strip 5, the corner 4 and the second strip 62. Thus, it can be applied to various tailgates 3 with different structures and heights, and is compatible with various height differences of protrusions to ensure good sealing performance.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second recess 623 abuts against the side surface of the corner 4 opposite to the first recess 41. With the cooperation of the second recess 623 and the corner 4, the sealing performance between the corner 4, the first sealing strip 5 and the second strip 62 is improved. For protrusions of different heights, the second strip 62 can be compressed and undergo elastic deformation to ensure a good seal between the first sealing strip 5, the corner 4 and the second strip 62. This allows for compatibility with various height differences of the protrusions and ensures good sealing performance.
[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first bubble tube 622 includes a base bubble tube 6221 and a sub-bubble tube 6222. The base bubble tube 6221 is connected to the first clamping part 621, and the sub-bubble tube 6222 is connected to the side of the base bubble tube 6221 away from the clamping part. At the connection position between the sub-bubble tube 6222 and the base bubble tube 6221, the tube body of the sub-bubble tube 6222 and / or the base bubble tube 6221 is recessed to form a second recess 623 between the sub-bubble tube 6222 and the base bubble tube 6221.
[0063] Specifically, both the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222 can be tubes, and they are arranged side by side. The tube body of the base bubble tube 6221 can be connected to the bottom and side of the U-shaped body of the first clamping part 621, and at least a portion of the tube body of the base bubble tube 6221 is located on the side of the first clamping part 621 away from the frame 2. The sub-bubble tube 6222 is connected to the side of the base bubble tube 6221 away from the first clamping part 621, and is located near the first bubble tube 622. On one side of the contact angle 4, at the connection position between the sub-bubble tube 6222 and the base bubble tube 6221, one or both of the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222 are recessed to form a second recess 623 between the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222. The second recess 623 abuts against the surface of the contact angle 4 away from the first recess 41. By means of the cooperation between the second recess 623 and the contact angle 4, the sealing performance between the contact angle 4, the first sealing strip 5 and the second strip 62 is improved.
[0064] It is worth noting that the cross-sectional shape of the second recess 623 can be, but is not limited to, V-shape; the material of the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222 can be, but is not limited to, EPDM sponge rubber. EPDM sponge rubber is a rubber product with a porous sponge structure made by foaming process using ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber as the main raw material; the material of the first snap-fit part can be, but is not limited to, EPDM solid rubber. EPDM solid rubber is a rubber product with bubble-free, uniform and dense texture formed by vulcanization molding using ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber as the main raw material.
[0065] In this embodiment, on the side of the first bubble tube 622 near the corner 4, and at the connection position between the sub-bubble tube 6222 and the base bubble tube 6221, one or both of the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222 are recessed to form a second recess 623 between the base bubble tube 6221 and the sub-bubble tube 6222. The second recess 623 abuts against the surface of the corner 4 away from the first recess 41. By means of the cooperation between the second recess 623 and the corner 4, the sealing performance between the corner 4, the first sealing strip 5 and the second strip 62 is improved.
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the vehicle body 1 has a third opening 12 on the second side adjacent to the first side, and the third opening 12 is connected to the first opening 11; the first sealing strip 5 includes a first segment 51 and a second segment 52 that are continuously arranged.
