Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to an automobile hatch and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Car hoods are divided into front hoods and rear hoods. The front hood usually refers to the hood covering the engine compartment at the front of the car, and the rear hood usually refers to the hood covering the trunk at the rear of the car. For traditional cars, since the trunk needs to be opened frequently, the trunk usually adopts a pop-up device for easy opening; while the engine compartment is not opened frequently, it is usually opened manually and supported by a strut. With the development of technology, some cars now also have storage space in the engine compartment, and the frequency of opening has increased, so there is also a demand for convenient opening of the engine compartment. Therefore, the front hoods of some new energy vehicles currently also adopt a pop-up device to open.

[0003] In the prior art, the hatch of a car is opened by a pop-up device, which requires the user to open the hatch to an initial angle before the pop-up device can continue to pop the hatch open. This initial angle is usually determined when the car leaves the factory. However, the initial angle set at the factory gives different experiences to different users. For example, the initial angle is just right for a user of medium height, but for a user of shorter height, it feels that the hatch needs to be opened too high, which makes the operation more laborious; while for a user of taller height, it feels that the hatch automatically pops open when it is opened too low, and there is a risk of being hit or frightened by the pop-up hatch.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a car hatch and a car, which can meet the convenience of opening the hatch for different users and improve the user experience.

[0006] To this end, the present application adopts the following technical solution: a car hood, comprising a cover plate, a hinge seat and a cover-opening elastic member connected between the cover plate and the hinge seat, wherein the cover-opening elastic member is configured to cause the cover plate to automatically pop open when the cover plate is opened to a set angle, wherein a position-adjustable counterweight is configured on the cover plate, and the counterweight changes its position on the cover plate to change the center of gravity of the cover plate, thereby adjusting the set opening angle required for the cover plate to automatically pop open.

[0007] In one embodiment, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of counterweight installation positions, and the counterweight member is detachably connected to the counterweight installation positions.

[0008] In one embodiment, the plurality of counterweight installation positions are arranged in the front-rear direction of the cover plate and are centrally disposed relative to the left and right sides of the cover plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the counterweight member and the counterweight mounting position are detachably connected via magnetism, snaps or screws.

[0010] In one embodiment, the number of the counterweight members is less than the number of the counterweight installation positions, and the counterweight member can be selectively connected to one of the plurality of counterweight installation positions.

[0011] In one embodiment, one of the plurality of counterweight installation positions coincides with the center of gravity of the cover plate when the counterweight is not configured.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cover opening elastic member is a gas spring.

[0013] In one embodiment, one end of the gas spring is hinged to the hinge seat, and the other end is telescopically connected to the cover plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the vehicle bonnet is a front bonnet or a trunk lid.

[0015] The present application also adopts the following technical solution: a car, comprising a car hood as described in any one of the above.

[0016] The automobile hatch provided in the present application is provided with a position-adjustable counterweight on the cover plate. The counterweight changes the center of gravity of the cover plate by adjusting its position on the cover plate, thereby adjusting the set angle required to open the cover plate when it can automatically pop open. In this way, users of different heights can adjust the set angle according to their own needs to meet the convenience of opening the cover for different users and improve the user experience.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may also be a central component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in the specification of this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0025] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0026] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly in contact with the second feature, or the first feature and the second feature are in contact indirectly through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being “above”, “above”, or “above” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being “below”, “below”, or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a car hatch 100, comprising a cover plate 1, a hinge seat 2, and a cover-opening elastic member 3 connected between the cover plate 1 and the hinge seat 2, wherein the cover-opening elastic member 3 is configured to cause the cover plate 1 to automatically pop open when the cover plate 1 is opened to a set angle. A position-adjustable counterweight 4 is configured on the cover plate 1, and the counterweight 4 changes the center of gravity of the cover plate 1 by adjusting its position on the cover plate 1, thereby adjusting the set opening angle required for the cover plate 1 to automatically pop open.

[0029] When the cover 1 is in the closed position, one end of the cover is locked and fixed. At this time, the torque applied by the cover opening elastic member 3 to the cover 1 is small to avoid excessive torque when the cover 1 is in the closed position, which may cause long-term fatigue of the locking device. When the cover 1 is opened, the lock of the cover 1 must be released first, and then the user manually lifts the cover 1 to a certain height from the front end of the cover 1, and the cover 1 rotates around the hinge shaft 21 to open. Since the cover 1 is opened to a certain angle, the angle of the cover opening elastic member 3 changes. When the torque generated is sufficient to overcome the gravity torque of the cover 1 and the friction torque during the rotation process, the cover opening elastic member 3 can continue to pop the cover 1 open. The set angle required for the cover 1 to be automatically opened can also be called the balance point position of the cover opening. The cover 1 can be automatically popped up when it is opened beyond this position, and it cannot be automatically popped up if it does not exceed this position. The position of the balance point is related to the deadweight and center of gravity of the cover 1, as well as the performance and installation relationship of the cover-opening elastic member 3 and the hinge seat 2. For the assembled cover 1, hinge seat 2 and cover-opening elastic member 3, the position of the balance point is also fixed and unchanged. However, the experience of the determined balance point position is different for different users. For example, it is just right for users of medium height, but for users of shorter height, they feel that they need to open the cover 1 too high, which makes the operation more laborious. For users of taller height, they feel that the cover 1 will automatically pop open when it is opened too low, and there is a risk of being hit or frightened by the popped-open cover 1. The automobile hatch 100 provided in the present application can be adjusted by the user himself to the set opening angle required for the cover 1 to automatically pop open, so as to meet the convenience of opening the cover for different users and improve the user experience.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 1 is provided with a plurality of counterweight installation positions 11, and the counterweight member 4 is detachably connected to the counterweight installation position 11. In one embodiment, the cover plate 1 may be a metal cover plate, and of course, it may be other materials in other embodiments. The counterweight installation position 11 is arranged on the lower surface of the cover plate 1, that is, the surface facing the cabin, so that it does not affect the appearance of the cover plate 1, nor does it affect the airflow performance during the driving process of the car, such as wind resistance. The counterweight installation position 11 may include a mounting structure to facilitate the installation with the counterweight member 4; the mounting structure may be, for example, a screw hole, a screw, a buckle structure, an adhesive structure, etc. The counterweight installation position 11 may also not have a mounting structure, but is only a marked area to indicate the configuration position of the counterweight member 4. In some embodiments, the counterweight member 4 and the counterweight installation position 11 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction, buckle or screw. For the connection by buckle or screw, it is necessary to set a corresponding matching structure at the counterweight installation position 11 and the counterweight member 4. For the connection method by magnetic attraction, the cover plate 1 itself can be made of magnetic conductive material or partially provided with magnetic conductive parts, such as iron plate parts, and the counterweight 4 includes a magnet, which can be adsorbed on the cover plate 1; in this way, the counterweight installation position 11 on the cover plate 1 can be the area with only indication as described above. The counterweight 4 is preferably made of a material with a higher density, so that a larger gravity can be provided with a smaller volume, which is convenient for effectively adjusting the center of gravity of the cover plate 1. The counterweight 4 can be made of metal blocks such as iron blocks and copper blocks.

[0031] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the multiple counterweight installation positions 11 are arranged in the front-to-back direction of the cover plate 1. The counterweight installation positions 11 are arranged in the front-to-back direction, and when the counterweight member 4 is installed on different counterweight installation positions 11, the center of gravity of the cover plate 1 can be changed significantly. Furthermore, the multiple counterweight installation positions 11 are centrally arranged relative to the left and right sides of the cover plate 1, so as to prevent the cover plate 1 from generating a torque of twisting to the left or right due to the center of gravity shifting to the left or right due to the installation of the counterweight member 4, thereby preventing the cover plate 1 from being twisted and deformed under long-term force. The number of the counterweight members 4 is less than the number of the counterweight installation positions 11, and the counterweight member 4 can be selectively connected to one of the multiple counterweight installation positions 11. In this embodiment, the number of the counterweight installation positions 11 is three, and the number of the counterweight member 4 is one; of course, in other embodiments, the number of the counterweight installation positions 11 can be two, or more, and the number of the counterweight member 4 can also be multiple. Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, one of the multiple counterweight installation positions 11 coincides with the center of gravity of the cover plate 1 when the counterweight member 4 is not configured; this arrangement allows the counterweight member 4 to be installed at this position when the user does not need to change the center of gravity position.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the counterweight installation position 11 includes installation position 1 111, installation position 2 112 and installation position 3 113, wherein installation position 1 111 is the center of gravity position of the cover plate 1 when the counterweight 4 is not configured. When the counterweight 4 is installed in the installation position 2 112, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the cover plate 1 and the counterweight 4 moves forward, and the angle that the cover plate 1 needs to be opened to reach the balance point position increases, that is, the cover plate 1 needs to be manually lifted to a higher position before it can be automatically popped up by the cover opening elastic member 3. This situation is more suitable for users with taller heights. When the counterweight 4 is installed in the installation position 3 113, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the cover plate 1 and the counterweight 4 moves backward, and the angle that the cover plate 1 needs to be opened to reach the balance point position decreases, that is, the cover plate 1 needs to be manually lifted to a lower position before it can be automatically popped up by the cover opening elastic member 3. This situation is more suitable for users with shorter heights. Users can adjust the position of the counterweight 4 according to their own needs.

[0033] See also Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover opening elastic member 3 is a gas spring. One end of the gas spring is a hinged end 31, which is hinged to the hinge seat 2, and the other end is a telescopic end 32, which is telescopically connected to the cover plate 1. The hinge seat 2 and the gas spring are both in two groups, which are arranged at the rear ends of the left and right sides of the cover plate 1. In this embodiment, the automobile hood 100 is a front engine hood of an automobile; in other embodiments, the automobile hood 100 may be a trunk cover of an automobile.

[0034] When in use, the user releases the lock of the cover 1 and manually lifts the cover 1 to a certain height. The cover 1 rotates around the hinge shaft 21 to open. At this time, the angle of the cover-opening elastic member 3 changes. When the torque generated by it is sufficient to overcome the gravity torque of the cover 1 and the friction torque during the rotation process, the cover 1 can continue to pop open; the user can change the center of gravity of the cover 1 by adjusting the front and rear position of the counterweight 4 on the cover 1, thereby adjusting the set opening angle required for the cover 1 to automatically pop open.

[0035] The present application also provides a car, comprising any car hatch as described above.

[0036] From the above description of the specific embodiments, it can be known that the automobile hatch 100 provided in the present application is provided with a position-adjustable counterweight 4 on the cover plate 1. The counterweight 4 changes the center of gravity of the cover plate 1 by adjusting its position on the cover plate 1, thereby adjusting the set opening angle required for the cover plate 1 to automatically pop open. In this way, users of different heights can adjust the set angle according to their own needs to meet the convenience of opening the cover for different users and improve the user experience.

[0037] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0038] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
