AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, only one opening is set on the inner panel of the tailgate, which results in the wiring terminal of the door closing switch being far away from the opening and the wiring harness being long, increasing the installation difficulty and structural complexity.

Method used

An independent second opening is provided on the inner panel of the tailgate, which is opposite to the mounting hole of the closing switch. This simplifies the wiring harness connection path, reduces the wiring harness length, and allows for quick and accurate assembly by electrically connecting the control unit to the support rod.

Benefits of technology

It improves tailgate assembly efficiency, reduces assembly difficulty, simplifies the structure, avoids the use of additional fixing clips, and maintains the strength of the tailgate inner panel.

Abstract

This invention relates to a tailgate assembly, comprising: an outer tailgate panel; an inner tailgate panel, defining a cavity between the outer tailgate panel and having a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole; an opening switch, mounted to the first mounting hole and including a first terminal located within the cavity; and a closing switch, mounted to the second mounting hole and including a second terminal located within the cavity. The inner tailgate panel further comprises: a first opening opposite the first mounting hole, through which a first wiring harness can enter the cavity and connect to the first terminal; and a second opening opposite the second mounting hole, through which a second wiring harness can enter the cavity and connect to the second terminal. The tailgate assembly of this invention facilitates the connection of wiring harnesses to the opening and closing switches within the cavity between the inner and outer tailgate panels, thus reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
