DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Various aspects and features of the present invention are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the above description should not be considered as limiting, but only as an example of the embodiments. Other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present utility model will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The accompanying drawings, which are included in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the present invention and, together with the general description of the present invention given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, are used to explain the principles of the present invention.

[0031] These and other characteristics of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred form of embodiment given as a non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should also be understood that although the present invention has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art will be able to realize many other equivalent forms of the present invention that have the features described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined thereby.

[0033] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Specific embodiments of the present invention are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments applied for are merely examples of the present invention, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that obscure the present invention. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details applied for herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present invention in a variety of ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0035] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment" or "in other embodiments", all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present invention.

[0036] The first embodiment of the utility model provides a vehicle tailgate, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tailgate 200 includes a plurality of baffles 1, which are movably connected in sequence, and the baffles 1 close to the bottom plate 300 of the compartment are movably connected to the bottom plate 300 of the compartment. Any two adjacent baffles 1 among the plurality of baffles 1 can be flipped over each other, so that a part of the baffles 1 among the plurality of baffles 1 form an extension 10 of the bottom plate 300 of the compartment, and another part of the baffles 1 form a shielding part 20. In this scheme, the tailgate 200 of the compartment is divided into a plurality of baffles 1, which are movably connected in sequence. According to the use requirements when loading goods, a part of the baffles 1 of the tailgate is extended to the length of the bottom plate 300 of the compartment, and another part of the baffles 1 shields the rear of the compartment to prevent items from falling. By dividing the tailgate 200 of the compartment into a plurality of baffles 1, the length and volume of the compartment 100 can be increased, the loading capacity can be improved, and the rear shielding function can be played to avoid the risk of the loaded goods falling off to the people and vehicles behind the vehicle, thereby improving the driving safety of the pickup vehicle.

[0037] Taking the arrangement of three baffles 1 as an example, the tailgate 200 can be arranged in the following two ways: Figure 5As shown, one way is that the baffle 1 connected to the bottom of the carriage is used as a baffle 1 to extend the length of the carriage 100, forming an extension portion 10, and the other two baffles 1 are flipped at the same time to serve as a shielding portion 20 to shield the opening at the rear of the carriage; Figure 6 As shown, another way is that the baffle 1 connected to the bottom of the carriage and the baffle 1 movably connected to the baffle 1 are used as baffles 1 to extend the length of the carriage 100, forming an extension portion 10, and the other baffle 1 is flipped over to serve as a shielding portion 20 to shield the rear opening of the carriage. The number of baffles 1 can be adjusted as needed, and the number of baffles 1 is at least two. It is worth mentioning that the number of baffles 1 cannot be increased indefinitely, and the overall length of the carriage obtained by extending the length of the carriage 100 by setting the baffle 1 must be limited to the maximum length specified by the vehicle model.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the car tailgate 200 also includes a locking mechanism 2, which includes a lock hook 21 and a pull rope 23. The lock hook 21 is installed on both sides of the baffle 1. The lock hook 21 is provided with a pull rope fixing hole 22. One end of the pull rope 23 is fixed to the pull rope fixing hole 22, and the other end of the pull rope 23 is connected to the car 100. The locking mechanism 2 is used to connect the baffle 1 and the car 100. Except for the baffle 1 connected to the bottom of the car, the other baffles 1 are provided with lock hooks 21 on both sides. After the baffle 1 is turned over, the baffle 1 and the car 100 (such as the car bottom plate 300 or the car side plate) are fixedly connected by the pull rope 23, wherein the pull rope 23 passes through the pull rope fixing hole 22 on the lock hook 21 and is fixed there. Support plates are also provided on both sides of the baffle 1, and the support plates are fixedly connected to the lock hook 21. The support plates play a supporting role for the setting of the lock hook 21 to improve the strength.

[0039] The vehicle tailgate 200 further includes a first position-limiting member 3, one end of which is movably mounted on one of two adjacent baffles 1, and a position-limiting portion 4 is disposed on the other of the two adjacent baffles 1. When the two adjacent baffles 1 are flipped to be in the same plane, the other end of the first position-limiting member 3 is positioned at the position-limiting portion 4. Taking the vehicle tailgate 200 composed of three baffles 1 as an example, the baffle 1 disposed in the middle is provided with a mounting portion of the first position-limiting member 3 and the position-limiting portion 4, and the baffles 1 disposed at both ends are only provided with the mounting portion of the first position-limiting member 3.

[0040] Among them, the mounting portion and the limiting portion 4 of the first limiting member 3 can be set as a plate-like structure or a slot body, or can be set as a plane on the baffle 1. The first limiting member 3 can be set as a rod-like structure or a plate-like structure, one end of the first limiting member 3 is connected to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is movably connected to the mounting portion, and the first limiting member 3 can rotate around the rotating shaft. When two adjacent baffles 1 are flipped to be in the same plane, that is, when the two baffles 1 simultaneously constitute the extension portion 10 or the shielding portion 20, one end of the first limiting member 3 is installed at one of the baffles 1, and the other end of the first limiting member 3 abuts against the limiting portion 4 of the other baffle 1. The first limiting member 3 is set to ensure that the two baffles 1 can be in the same plane without flipping each other. When the two adjacent baffles 1 need to flip each other, it is necessary to pre-position the first limiting member 3 at one end of the limiting portion 4 of one of the baffles 1 and rotate it to the other baffle 1. The rotation of the first limiting member 3 around the rotating shaft can realize the switching of the states between the baffles 1, and the operation is simple.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting position on the baffle 1 for mounting the first limiting member 3 is provided with a second limiting member 5 to limit the rotation of the first limiting member 3. The mounting position is provided with a mounting portion, and at least two second limiting members 5 are provided, and the two second limiting members 5 are provided on both sides of the first limiting member 3, and the two second limiting members 5 are arranged alternately. The second limiting member 5 can be provided as a columnar structure or a block structure. The second limiting members 5 at two positions both limit the first limiting member 3. The second limiting member 5 is limited in two directions of the first limiting member 3 respectively. When the first limiting member 3 and the limiting portion 4 are in contact, one of the second limiting members 5 plays a role of limiting; during the rotation of the first limiting member 3 around the rotating axis, the other second limiting member 5 plays a role of limiting to prevent the first limiting member 3 from rotating too much.

[0042] The vehicle tailgate 200 further includes a third stopper 6, which is installed between two adjacent baffles 1. The third stopper 6 can be set as a stopper block, which is fixedly connected to one of the two adjacent baffles 1. When the baffles 1 are flipped between each other, it is possible to avoid collisions between the exteriors of different baffles 1 caused by excessive flipping. At the same time, the third stopper 6 is set between the two baffles 1. When the baffles 1 are not flipped between each other, it is possible to ensure that the appearance of the multiple baffles 1 is flat when they are kept on the same plane, thereby ensuring that the appearance of one side of the shielding portion 20 is beautiful.

[0043] Two adjacent baffles 1 are connected by hinges 7 to ensure that the two adjacent baffles 1 can be turned freely, and the turning process is simple and the structure is simple. The baffle 1 close to the carriage bottom plate 300 is connected to the carriage 100 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft can be set as a hinge 8 to achieve stability of the connection between the baffle 1 and the carriage 100.

[0044] The third stopper 6 is arranged on both sides of the hinge 7 along the length direction of the baffle 1; or the hinge 7 and the third stopper 6 are arranged alternately along the length direction of the baffle 1. A plurality of hinges 7 are arranged along the length direction of the baffle 1. In this embodiment, the third stopper 6 is arranged on both sides of the hinge 7. The hinge 7 and the third stopper 6 can also be arranged alternately along the length direction of the baffle 1.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 1 includes an inner baffle 11 and an outer baffle 12, the inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12 are butted against each other, and one of the inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12 is provided with a support portion 13 extending toward the other. When in use, the inner baffle 11 is accommodated inside the compartment 100, and the outer baffle 12 is arranged outside the compartment 100. The inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12 are butted against each other to form the main structure of the baffle 1. In this embodiment, the inner baffle 11 is provided with a support portion 13 extending toward the outer baffle 12, and the support portion 13 realizes the splicing of the inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12, and improves the overall strength of the baffle 1. The inner baffle 11 is provided with a reinforcing plate 14, and the reinforcing plate 14 extends along the cavity formed by the inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12 to the inner wall of the outer baffle 12, further improving the strength of the baffle 1 and the collision performance of the baffle 1.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the two baffles 1 are connected by a hinge 7 and a third stopper 6 is provided between the two baffles 1, so that there is a certain gap between the two baffles 1. When flipping between two adjacent baffles 1, the gap can ensure the flipping. However, when the two adjacent baffles 1 are in the same straight line, there will also be a gap between the two baffles 1. The existence of the gap reduces the aesthetics of the rear of the car and reduces the shielding performance of the articles in the car, and the articles may fall off from the gap. A connecting portion 9 extending toward the other is provided on one of the two adjacent outer baffles 12. The connecting portion 9 can be formed when the inner baffle 11 and the outer baffle 12 are butt-jointed, or it can be separately provided at one end of the outer baffle 12. The connecting portion 9 can be provided as a planar plate-like structure. When the two adjacent baffles 1 are in the same plane, the connecting portion 9 connects a plurality of outer baffles 12 to ensure that the plane where the outer baffles are located is flat and beautiful, and the shielding performance of the outer baffles 12 is improved.

[0047] Multiple baffles 1 can be set to the same structure, and multiple baffles 1 can be set in parallel or symmetrically as needed. Setting the baffles 1 to the same structure reduces the design size of the mold (the mold size is only 1 / 3 of the original), reduces the investment in vehicle R&D, and reduces the cost of parts.

[0048] The modular tailgate design realized by multiple baffles 1 can quickly complete the design and development of modified models according to styling requirements, reduce development costs, and has strong expandability.

[0049] The utility model can change the state of the baffle 1 according to user needs. When the loaded cargo exceeds the original size of the compartment, the compartment tailgate 200 is folded according to the use requirements. Before folding, the position of the first limiter 3 is adjusted to ensure that the baffle 1 can be flipped. The flipped baffle 1 is hooked on the lock hook 21 of the baffle 1 by the pull rope 23 hung on the compartment 100 to fix the flipped baffle 1, and then the flipped baffle 1 is used as a shielding part 20 to block the cargo and prevent it from sliding out of the compartment. The other baffles 1 are used as extension parts 10 to help load the cargo.
