Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a novel tailgate support rod motor. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, cars have become an important means of daily travel for people. Among them, the tailgate, as an important part of the car, not only affects the appearance of the car, but also affects the convenience of passengers and goods entering and exiting. The tailgate strut motor, as a key component to control the opening and closing of the tailgate, its performance stability and reliability are crucial to improving the overall user experience of the car.

[0003] The tailgate strut motor usually adopts a ball-and-socket connection structure, which not only ensures the stability of the tailgate during opening and closing, but also gives the tailgate a certain degree of adaptability to meet the opening requirements of different angles and positions. However, in actual use, due to the influence of friction, vibration, use environment and other factors, the ball-and-socket structure often wears out.

[0004] Wear in the ball-and-socket structure of the tailgate strut motor may cause problems such as loose connections and poor movement, which in turn affects the normal opening and closing of the tailgate. If the wear is severe enough, it may even cause the tailgate to get stuck or fall off during the opening or closing process, posing a threat to the safety of passengers and the vehicle.

[0005] In the prior art, when the ball socket at the strut motor is worn, the entire strut motor often needs to be replaced, which results in the service life of the strut motor being limited by the service life of the ball socket, resulting in a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment of the present application shown provides a new tailgate support rod motor, including: a first shell 1, a second shell 2 connected to one end of the first shell 1, and a ball socket 3 detachably connected to the second shell 2; a first connecting member 21 is provided on the second shell 2, and a second connecting member 31 is provided on the ball socket 3 to cooperate with the first connecting member 21.

[0033] More preferably, in the embodiment provided in the present application, a motor assembly of the tailgate support rod is disposed in the first shell 1, and a wire 6 connected to the motor assembly is pulled out from one end of the first shell 1, and then enters the third shell 5 connected to the second shell 2 through a channel 22 in the second shell 2. The wire 6 located outside the third shell 5 is wrapped with a fleece tape 7, and one end of the wire 6 is connected to the connector 8, and the other end is connected to the motor assembly.

[0034] The portion where the second shell 2 is connected to the first shell 1 is generally a cylindrical structure. This portion of the structure on the second shell 2 can fit into the inner wall of the first shell 1 and be inserted into the first shell 1. A first connecting member 21 is provided on the portion of the second shell 2 that is away from the first shell 1. The first connecting member 21 is a dovetail groove structure. A second connecting member 31 is provided on the ball socket 3. The second connecting member 31 is a dovetail-shaped protrusion structure suitable for inserting into the dovetail groove. The ball socket 3 is plugged into the first connecting member 21 through the second connecting member 31 to complete the installation on the second shell 2.

[0035] During use, the operator installs the various accessories into the strut motor assembly, then installs the ball socket 3 on the second shell 2, and finally connects the ball socket 3 to the car; or the operator first installs the ball socket 3 on the car, and then plugs the strut motor assembly with the ball socket 3 through the second shell 2; when the ball socket 3 is worn to a certain extent, the ball socket 3 can be removed and replaced.

[0036] In this embodiment, by respectively arranging the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 21 on the ball socket 3 and the second shell 2, the detachable function of the ball socket 3 is realized, thereby avoiding the waste caused by replacing the entire motor assembly due to wear of the ball socket 3. At the same time, the simple structure is easy to produce and manufacture.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Further, based on the above embodiment, the third housing 5 is connected to the second housing 2 in a detachable manner, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the third shell 5 connected to the second shell 2 is provided with a clamping piece 51 protruding relative to the surface of the third shell 5 . After the third shell 5 extends into one end of the channel 22 of the second shell 2 , the clamping piece 51 abuts against the inner wall of the channel 22 .

[0039] In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​piece 51 with a protruding structure is provided on the third shell 5, which extends into the channel 22 of the second shell 2 and completes the detachable connection of the third shell 5 by means of the structural snap-fit, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the third shell 5 and is easy to produce and manufacture due to its simple structure.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Furthermore, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, an elastic member 41 protruding relative to the surface of the dovetail groove is provided at the bottom center position of the dovetail groove of the first connecting member 21, and a groove 42 for the elastic member 41 to be embedded is provided on the surface of the dovetail protrusion of the second connecting member 31. During use, when the second connecting member 31 slides into the first connecting member 21, the elastic member 41 is embedded in the groove 42, thereby realizing the rapid positioning and limiting function of the ball socket 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, by respectively arranging the elastic member 41 and the groove 42 on the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 21 , the ball socket 3 can be quickly positioned and limited, and the simple structure is easy to manufacture.
