[0003] In the prior art, the electric struts used to realize automatic lifting of the car tailgate generally provide an anti-pinch mode, but this mode performs very poorly in actual use in many cars and often reacts slowly. At the same time, the anti-pinch mode often fails, making the anti-pinch function unreliable. Once the user's fingers or torso are accidentally placed at the end of the door, it may cause the risk of injury from hard clamping. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to optimize the design of the product and propose an electric tailgate lifting device for automobiles. Utility Model Content

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a slot matching the movable rod is provided at the rear end of the anti-clip device, and the front end of the movable rod is inserted and installed in the slot.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the hinged part 1 away from the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rear of the vehicle body, and one end of the hinged part 2 away from the anti-pinch device is fixedly connected to the tailgate of the vehicle.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a sliding cavity adapted to the sliding block is provided inside the anti-pinch device, and the sliding block is slidably installed in the sliding cavity.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic sheet is fixedly mounted on the rear end of the latch, and a proximity switch extending into the lock slot is fixedly mounted on the rear end of the lock seat.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a slot is formed on the top of the latch, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on the top of the lock seat, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing plate, and a block matching the slot is fixedly installed on the extended end of the electric push rod.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0014] 1. In the present application, after hinged member 1 and hinged member 2 are respectively installed at the rear position of the automobile body and the tailgate, when the driving motor is started to drive the threaded rod on its output shaft to rotate, the movable rod will be pushed out from the front end of the fixed rod. At this time, the movable rod is plugged into the anti-clip device, and then the slider is driven to push the tension sensor forward through the spring. At this time, the anti-clip device pushes the tailgate connected to hinged member 2 to move up to open the tailgate. When the tailgate needs to be closed, the driving motor is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0015] 2. In the present application, when the tailgate is about to be closed and is blocked by a person's fingers or torso, the tailgate will limit the anti-pinch device from moving back through hinge 2. At this time, the slider will pull the tension sensor through the spring, thereby causing a certain tension to the tension sensor. When the tension reaches a certain value, the tension sensor will be sensed and transmit an electrical signal to the circuit control board to turn off the drive motor, thereby stopping the tailgate from closing. If the tension sensor loses its sensing function due to other conditions, the drive motor will not stop working when the tailgate is blocked by a person's fingers or torso. At this time, after the movable rod shrinks to the maximum value inside the fixed rod, the spring will compensate for a certain retraction distance through its own stretching, thereby making the pressure on the person when being clamped by the tailgate only the tensile force of the spring, and at this time the tailgate will not be completely closed, but a certain recovery space will be left, thereby protecting the person from serious clamping injuries when the anti-pinch device loses its clamping-free function.

One end of the driving motor 3 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the automobile body, and the end of the hinge part 6 away from the anti-pinch device 5 is fixedly connected to the tailgate of the automobile. A slider 7 is slidably installed inside the anti-pinch device 5, and the rear side of the slider 7 is fixedly connected to the plug-in end of the movable rod 2. A sliding cavity 8 adapted to the slider 7 is opened inside the anti-pinch device 5, and the slider 7 is slidably installed in the sliding cavity 8. A tension sensor 9 is fixedly installed at the front end of the slider 7 in the inner cavity of the anti-pinch device 5, and the tension sensor 9 is electrically connected to the circuit control board that controls the opening and closing of the driving motor 3. A spring 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the tension sensor 9, and the end of the spring 10 away from the tension sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the slider 7.

[0022] By arranging an anti-clip device 5 at the front end of the movable rod 2, when the hinge part 1 4 and the hinge part 2 6 are respectively installed at the rear position of the automobile body and the tailgate, when the drive motor 3 is started to drive the threaded rod on its output shaft to rotate, the movable rod 2 will be pushed out from the front end of the fixed rod 1. At this time, the movable rod 2 is plugged into the anti-clip device 5, and then drives the slider 7 to push the tension sensor 9 forward through the spring 10. At this time, the anti-clip device 5 pushes the tailgate connected to the hinge part 2 6 to move upward to open the tailgate. When the tailgate needs to be closed, the drive motor 3 is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the anti-clip device 5 will pull the tailgate closed through the hinge part 2 6 according to the same principle. When the tailgate is about to be closed and is blocked by the fingers or torso of a person, the tailgate will limit the anti-clip device 5 from moving back through the hinge part 2 6. At this time, the slider 7 will The tension sensor 9 is pulled by the spring 10, thereby causing a certain tension to the tension sensor 9. When the tension reaches a certain value, the tension sensor 9 will be sensed and transmit an electrical signal to the circuit control board to turn off the drive motor 3, thereby stopping the tailgate from closing. If the tension sensor 9 loses its sensing function due to other conditions, when the tailgate is blocked by a person's fingers or torso, the drive motor 3 does not stop working. At this time, after the movable rod 2 shrinks to the maximum value in the fixed rod 1, the spring 10 will compensate for a certain retraction distance through its own stretching, thereby making the pressure on the person when being clamped by the tailgate only the tensile force of the spring 10, and at this time the tailgate will not be completely closed, but a certain recovery space will be left, thereby protecting the person from serious clamping injuries when the anti-clamp device 5 loses its clamping-free function.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , 3 A lock head 11 is fixedly installed on the top rear side of the anti-clip device 5, a lock seat 12 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the fixing rod 1, a latch 13 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the lock head 11, a lock slot 14 adapted to the latch 13 is provided on the front side of the lock seat 12, a magnetic sheet 16 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the latch 13, a proximity switch 15 extending into the lock slot 14 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the lock seat 12, a card slot 17 is provided on the top of the latch 13, a fixing plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the lock seat 12, an electric push rod 19 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing plate 18, and a card block 20 adapted to the card slot 17 is fixedly installed on the extended end of the electric push rod 19.

[0024] By setting the lock head 11 and the lock seat 12, when the movable rod 2 is retracted to the maximum value toward the fixed rod 1, the tailgate is fitted against the rear of the vehicle body, and at the same time, the latch 13 at the rear end of the lock head 11 will be inserted into the lock slot 14 opened at the front end of the lock seat 12, so that the magnetic sheet 16 is fitted on the proximity switch 15. At this time, the proximity switch 15 is inductively activated by the fitting of the magnetic sheet 16 to start the electric push rod 19 to extend, and then the card block 20 is carded into the card slot 17, so that the lock head 11 and the lock seat 12 are firmly connected together, thereby realizing the firm closure of the tailgate and the vehicle body.

[0025] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0026] First, after the hinge 1 4 and the hinge 2 6 are respectively installed at the rear position of the automobile body and on the tailgate, when the drive motor 3 is started to drive the threaded rod on its output shaft to rotate, the movable rod 2 will be pushed out from the front end of the fixed rod 1. At this time, the movable rod 2 is inserted into the anti-clip device 5, and then drives the slider 7 to push the tension sensor 9 forward through the spring 10. At this time, the anti-clip device 5 pushes the tailgate connected to the hinge 2 6 to move up to open the tailgate. When the tailgate needs to be closed, the drive motor 3 is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the anti-clip device 5 will pull the tailgate closed through the hinge part 2 6. When the movable rod 2 shrinks to the maximum value toward the fixed rod 1, the tailgate is completely fitted with the rear of the vehicle body. At the same time, the latch 13 at the rear end of the lock head 11 will be inserted into the lock slot 14 opened at the front end of the lock seat 12, so that the magnetic sheet 16 is fitted on the proximity switch 15. At this time, the proximity switch 15 is induced by the fitting of the magnetic sheet 16 to start the electric push rod 19 to extend, and then the card block 20 is inserted into the card slot 17, so that the lock head 11 and the lock seat 12 are firmly connected together, so as to realize the firm closure of the tailgate and the vehicle body.

[0027] Furthermore, when the tailgate is about to close and is blocked by a person's fingers or torso, the tailgate will limit the anti-pinch device 5 from moving back through the hinge 2 6. At this time, the slider 7 will pull the tension sensor 9 through the spring 10, thereby causing a certain tension to the tension sensor 9. When the tension reaches a certain value, the tension sensor 9 will be sensed and transmit an electrical signal to the circuit control board to turn off the drive motor 3, thereby stopping the tailgate from closing. If the tension sensor 9 loses its sensing function due to other conditions, the drive motor 3 does not stop working when the tailgate is blocked by a person's fingers or torso. At this time, after the movable rod 2 shrinks to the maximum value in the fixed rod 1, the spring 10 will compensate for a certain retraction distance through its own stretching, thereby making the pressure on the person when being clamped by the tailgate only the tensile force of the spring 10, and the tailgate will not be completely closed at this time, but will leave a certain recovery space, thereby protecting the person from serious clamping injury when the anti-pinch device 5 loses its clamping-free function.

[0028] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
