Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, and more specifically, to a hinge assembly for a vehicle and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the market for multi-purpose vehicles and other models with sliding doors, the demand for sliding door hinges that match them is also increasing. The sliding door hinges mainly restrict the movement trajectory of the door body and support the mass of the door body. During the manufacturing process of the automotive body-in-white, a series of manufacturing processes such as stamping and welding will cause cumulative dimensional errors in the body door. At the same time, the sheet metal material has a certain degree of springback characteristics, resulting in a design allowable error between the manufactured product and the design dimensions. However, during the general assembly of the vehicle, in order to improve the appearance texture of the vehicle, ensure that the gaps between the door and the body are consistent and uniform in all directions, and the smoothness of the sliding door during movement, after the basic assembly is completed, it is necessary to further adjust the position of the door body relative to the vehicle body.

[0003] Traditional hinges generally adjust the position through through-holes (the size of the holes is larger than the diameter of the bolts). During the adjustment process, all clamping nuts need to be loosened. However, the door body and its accessories are heavy, and there is a lack of necessary clamping devices between the door body and the hinge. Affected by gravity, the door is prone to multi-directional sliding downward, resulting in the loss of the original relative position between the door body and the hinge. In order to achieve the appropriate dimensions, continuous matching is required, making the adjustment of the door body position relatively complex, with a probability of failure, which affects the assembly progress.

[0041] Reference is made below to Figures 1 - 10 describe a hinge assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0042] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, a hinge assembly 100 for a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a first connecting member 10, a second connecting member 20 and a connecting assembly 30. The first connecting member 10 is used for connecting with the vehicle body, and the second connecting member 20 is used for connecting with the vehicle door 200. Alternatively, the first connecting member 10 is used for connecting with the vehicle door 200, and the second connecting member 20 is used for connecting with the vehicle body.

[0043] The first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 are connected by the connecting assembly 30 to realize the connection between the vehicle door 200 and the vehicle body. And under the connection of the connecting assembly 30, relative movement between the second connecting member 20 and the first connecting member 10 can also occur, so that relative movement between the vehicle door and the vehicle body can occur. For example, the second connecting member 20 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 10, and the vehicle door can rotate relative to the vehicle body. Alternatively, the second connecting member 20 can move relative to the first connecting member 10, and the vehicle door can move relative to the vehicle body.

[0044] The connecting component 30 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 10 to allow the second connecting member 20 to move relative to the first connecting member 10, thereby adjusting the movement of the door 200 relative to the vehicle body, thereby adjusting the relative positions of the vehicle body and the door 200.

[0045] According to the hinge assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, on the basis of connecting the vehicle body and the vehicle door 200, the relative position of the vehicle body and the vehicle door 200 can be adjusted by rotating the connection assembly 30, so that the vehicle door 200 can be displaced within a certain range, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the vehicle door 200 to ensure that the gaps between the vehicle door 200 and the vehicle body in all directions are consistent and uniform, thereby improving the appearance texture of the vehicle 1000, facilitating adjustment, and improving the adjustment efficiency, thereby shortening the assembly adjustment time and improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 20 and the connecting component 30 are connected by a screw slider transmission, so that when the connecting component 30 rotates relative to the first connecting member 10, the rotation of the screw drives the slider to move, thereby allowing the second connecting member 20 to move relative to the first connecting member 10; or, the second connecting member 20 and the connecting component 30 are engaged through a gear rack, and when the connecting component 30 rotates relative to the first connecting member 10, the rotation of the gear drives the rack to move, thereby allowing the second connecting member 20 to move relative to the first connecting member 10.

[0047] like Figures 1 - 7 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the first connecting member 10 has a first through hole 111, and the second connecting member 20 has a threaded hole 211; the connecting assembly 30 includes a connecting shaft, which is rotatably arranged in the first through hole 111, and the connecting shaft has a threaded section 301, the threaded section 301 passes through the threaded hole 211 and is threadedly matched with the threaded hole 211, the connecting shaft can rotate relative to the first connecting member 10, and the connecting shaft is threadedly matched with the second connecting member 20 through the threaded hole 211. Since the second connecting member 20 is connected to the vehicle body or the door 200 and cannot rotate, when the connecting shaft rotates, the second connecting member 20 can be driven along the axial direction of the connecting shaft (such as Figure 1 The second connecting member 20 can be moved in the up and down directions (as shown), thereby adjusting the position of the second connecting member 20 relative to the first connecting member 10, that is, adjusting the relative positions of the vehicle body and the vehicle door 200.

[0048] It should be noted that since the connecting shaft cooperates with the second threaded hole through the external thread, there is a helical pair constraint between the connecting shaft and the second connecting member 20, and the self-locking force generated by the helix angle is greater than the weight of the door 200. In the absence of active force, the door 200 and the body form a fixed relative position in space.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the hinge assembly 100 further includes: a fastener 40 located on one side of the axial direction of the second threaded hole. The fastener 40 is in threaded engagement with the threaded section 301 of the connecting shaft for locking the second connecting member 20 and the connecting shaft. During the high-frequency use of the vehicle door 200, there is a risk of loosening in the fit between the second connecting member 20 and the connecting shaft, increasing the unsafe factors during driving. By providing the threaded engagement between the fastener 40 and the connecting shaft, relative rotation between the second connecting member 20 and the connecting shaft is restricted, thereby reducing the risk of loosening.

[0050] In addition, under the action of the connecting shaft, the threaded hole 211 and the fastener 40, the vehicle door 200 can be displaced within a certain range, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the vehicle door 200. Compared with the traditional connection method through a through hole, the probability of loosening of the through hole constraint is relatively high during the high-frequency use of the vehicle door 200. The hinge assembly 100 of the present application embodiment can not only improve the assembly efficiency but also reduce the probability of loosening, improving the safety of the vehicle 1000.

[0051] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side of the threaded hole 211 close to the fastener 40 (such as Figure 5 the lower side shown) has anti-loosening texture 24, that is, the side of the second connecting member 20 that can contact the fastener 40 is provided with anti-loosening texture 24. Further, when the fastener 40 abuts against the second connecting member 20, the friction between the fastener 40 and the second connecting member 20 is increased. That is, a certain pre-tightening force is applied to it through the fastener 40 to ensure that the hinge assembly 100 has no loosening during the service life.

[0052] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the second connecting member 20 includes a first connecting plate 21 and a second connecting plate 22 arranged at intervals. The first connecting plate 21 is provided with a threaded hole 211, and the second connecting plate 22 is provided with a second through hole 221. The connecting component 30 is in rotational cooperation with the second through hole 221. That is to say, the connecting component 30 passes through the two connecting plates of the second connecting member 20. The centers of the threaded hole 211 and the second through hole 221 are both located on the axis of the connecting component 30. Thus, the connecting component 30 is in threaded engagement with the first connecting plate 21 through the threaded hole 211 to realize the connection between the connecting component 30 and the second connecting member 20. The connecting component 30 is in plug-in cooperation with the second connecting plate 22 through the second through hole 221, which can improve the rotational stability of the connecting component 30, reduce the probability of deflection and wobbling of the connecting component 30, and improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting plate 21 is disposed above the second connecting plate 22. After the connecting component 30 is properly engaged with the second connecting member 20 and the relative positions of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 are adjusted, the fastener 40 is disposed between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22, and the fastener 40 can abut against the lower surface of the first connecting plate 21, thereby locking the connection between the connecting component 30 and the first connecting plate 21, restricting relative rotation between the second connecting member 20 and the connecting component 30, and further reducing the risk of loosening.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, one side of the first connecting plate 21 close to the fastener 40 (such as Figure 5 the lower side shown) has anti-loosening texture 24, that is, the side of the first connecting plate 21 that can contact the fastener 40 is provided with anti-loosening texture 24. Further, when the fastener 40 abuts against the first connecting plate 21, the friction between the fastener 40 and the first connecting plate 21 is increased. That is, by applying a certain pre-tightening force to it through the fastener 40, it is ensured that the hinge assembly 100 has no loosening during the service life.

[0055] Of course, the first connecting plate 21 can also be located below the second connecting plate 22. The connecting shaft passes through the second through hole 221 of the upper second connecting plate 22 and is in threaded cooperation with the lower first connecting plate 21. The fastener 40 is in threaded cooperation with the connecting shaft and the fastener 40 abuts against the first connecting plate 21; correspondingly, the first connecting plate 21 can also have anti-loosening texture 24.

[0056] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 10 includes a first fixing plate 11 and a second fixing plate 12 arranged at intervals. The first fixing plate 11 has a first through hole 111, and the second fixing plate 12 has a third through hole 121. The connecting shaft is rotatably disposed in the third through hole 121. The first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are located between the first fixing plate 11 and the second fixing plate 12. That is to say, the space between the first fixing plate 11 and the second fixing plate 12 is the space for accommodating the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22.

[0057] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, in some specific examples, the connecting shaft has a threaded section 301, and the other positions are smooth sections. The smooth sections at least include two sections on both sides of the threaded section 301. One smooth section passes through the first through hole 111, and the other smooth section passes through the second through hole 221 and the third through hole 121. Through the design of the threaded section 301, the second connecting member 20 can move within a certain range. For example, as Figure 1As shown, the upper limit position of the second connecting member 20 can be restricted. The upper limit position is when the first connecting plate 21 is in place in cooperation with the uppermost part of the threaded section 301. At this time, a part of the threaded hole 211 is in threaded cooperation with a part of the threaded section 301, or the entire threaded hole 211 can be in threaded cooperation with a part of the threaded section 301. At this time, the distance from the lower surface of the first fixing plate 11 to the upper surface of the first connecting plate 21 is at its minimum; as Figure 2 As shown, the lower limit position of the second connecting member 20 can also be restricted. The lower limit position is when the first connecting plate 21 is in place in cooperation with the lower part of the threaded section 301, and the fastener 40 is in threaded cooperation with the threaded section 301. Here, it can be that a part of the fastener 40 is in threaded cooperation with a part of the threaded section 301, or the entire fastener 40 can be in threaded cooperation with a part of the threaded section 301. At this time, the distance between the lower surface of the second connecting plate 22 and the upper surface of the second fixing plate 12 is at its minimum. Thus, when the connecting shaft rotates, the second connecting member 20 can move between the upper limit position and the lower limit position, while ensuring that the entire hinge assembly 100 will not suddenly break away from the restraint during the entire adjustment process.

[0058] As Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting shaft has a stepped shaft structure. Specifically, the connecting shaft includes a first shaft section 31 and a second shaft section 32. The first shaft section 31 cooperates with the first connecting plate 21 and the first fixing plate 11, and the second shaft section 32 cooperates with the second connecting plate 22 and the second fixing plate 12. Among them, the outer diameter of the first shaft section 31 is greater than the outer diameter of the second shaft section 32, and the first shaft section 31 has a threaded section 301. That is, by increasing the outer diameter of the first shaft section 31, the part where the threaded section 301 is located has greater torque and load-bearing capacity, so as to meet the requirement that the self-locking force generated by the spiral angle is greater than the self-weight of the vehicle door 200, making the vehicle door 200 and the vehicle body form a fixed relative position in space, without the need to increase the outer diameter of the entire connecting shaft as a whole, avoiding a large increase in weight and cost.

[0059] As Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting assembly 30 further includes a first locking end 33 and a second locking end 34. The first locking end 33 and the second locking end 34 are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting shaft. The first fixing plate 11 is located above the second fixing plate 12, the first locking end 33 is located above the first fixing plate 11, the second locking end 34 is located below the second fixing plate 12, and the first locking end 33 and the second locking end 34 are respectively limited to the outside of the two fixing plates. Thus, the fixed connection between the connecting assembly 30 and the first connecting member 10 is realized, restricting the position of the whole in the axial direction of the connecting assembly 30 and improving the stability of the hinge assembly 100.

[0060] In addition, at least one of the first locking end 33 and the second locking end 34 has an adjustment hole or an adjustment post. The adjustment hole can be a hexagonal hole or other non-circular holes, and the adjustment post can be a hexagonal post or other non-cylindrical columnar structures, so as to facilitate the cooperation of its special structure with the adjustment hole or the adjustment post to rotate and adjust the connecting assembly 30, and facilitate driving the connecting assembly 30 to rotate axially.

[0061] In some embodiments, a bushing is provided at the first through hole 111, and the connecting shaft is rotatably fitted with the bushing. Here, the smooth section of the connecting shaft contacts the first through hole 111 through a wear-resistant bushing, which can reduce the frictional resistance and reduce noise. The bushing can have a Teflon or other special coating; in addition, a bushing can also be provided at the third through hole 121, and the smooth section of the connecting shaft also contacts the third through hole 121 through the bushing to reduce the frictional resistance and reduce noise.

[0062] As Figures 4 - 6 shown, in some embodiments, the second connecting member 20 further includes a third connecting plate 23. The third connecting plate 23 has an oblong fixing hole 231. The third connecting plate 23 is used to connect the vehicle door 200. Thus, the second connecting member 20 can be fixedly connected to the vehicle door 200 using bolts. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the vehicle door 200, the position of the bolt at the oblong fixing hole 231 can be adjusted.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 10 further includes a pulley assembly. The pulley assembly is slidably connected to the vehicle body. The pulley assembly includes a main guide wheel 13 and a load-bearing wheel 14. The axes of the main guide wheel 13 and the load-bearing wheel 14 are perpendicular.

[0064] For example, assuming that the direction from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle is the X direction, the direction from the ground to the roof of the vehicle is the Z direction, and the direction of the vehicle body perpendicular to the XZ plane and pointing to the vehicle door 200 is the Y-axis direction. Among them, the load-bearing wheel 14 is responsible for restricting the freedom degree of the vehicle door 200 in the Z direction on the track, and the main guide wheel 13 restricts the trajectory of the vehicle door 200 on the track in the XY plane.

[0065] According to the vehicle 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, it includes a hinge assembly 100 for the vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application, a first connecting member 10 is connected to the vehicle body, and a second connecting member 20 is connected to the vehicle door 200. Alternatively, the first connecting member 10 is connected to the vehicle door 200, and the second connecting member 20 is connected to the vehicle body.

[0066] By adopting the above hinge assembly 100, the relative position of the vehicle body and the door 200 can be adjusted by rotating and adjusting the connecting assembly 30, enabling the door 200 to displace within a certain range. Thus, the position of the door 200 is adjusted to ensure that the gaps in all directions between the door 200 and the vehicle body are consistent and uniform, improving the appearance texture of the vehicle 1000. The adjustment is convenient, which can improve the adjustment efficiency, thereby shortening the assembly adjustment time and enhancing the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 1000.

[0067] Specifically, the vehicle 1000 includes an upper hinge, a middle hinge, and a lower hinge. Each hinge can adopt the hinge assembly 100 of the above embodiment. The hinge assembly 100 connects the vehicle body track 300 and the door 200, and forms a sliding pair between the vehicle body track 300 and the door 200 through the hinge. The hinge assembly 100 can slide on the track through the pulley assembly, restricting the movement track of the door 200 on the track.

[0068] The following combines Figures 1 - 10 to describe the assembly and adjustment steps of the hinge assembly 100 according to the present utility model.

[0069] During assembly, the two connecting plates of the second connecting member 20 are located between the two fixing plates of the first connecting plate 21. The Z-direction span dimension of the second connecting member 20 is always within the Z-direction span of the first connecting member 10. The connecting assembly 30 is assembled from top to bottom. The connecting assembly 30 includes a first locking end 33, a connecting shaft, and a second locking end 34. The connecting shaft has a smooth section and a threaded section. After the first locking end 33 and the connecting shaft are connected, the upper smooth section of the connecting shaft passes through the first through hole 111 of the first connecting member 10. Here, the inner hole of the first through hole 111 can be matched with the outer diameter of the bushing, the inner hole of the bushing is matched with the outer diameter of the upper smooth section of the connecting shaft, and the inner hole dimension of the bushing is larger than the thread top dimension of the threaded section 301 of the connecting shaft. The external thread of the threaded section 301 of the connecting shaft is matched with the internal thread of the threaded hole 211 of the second connecting member 20 to form a screw pair. The external thread of the threaded section 301 of the connecting shaft also forms a screw pair with the internal thread of the fastener 40. The smooth section at the lower part of the connecting shaft is matched with the second through hole 221 of the second connecting member 20. Here, it can be an interference fit. The third through hole 121 of the first connecting member 10 is matched with the outer diameter of the bushing, and the inner hole of the bushing is matched with the outer diameter of the smooth section at the lower part of the connecting shaft. The axial dimension of the connecting shaft is slightly lower than the lower end face of the third through hole 121 of the first connecting member 10. The protruding part of the connecting shaft is riveted by a riveting machine to form the second locking end 34, ensuring the fixed Z-direction relative position between the first connecting member 10 and the connecting assembly 30.

[0070] The specific steps for adjusting the Z-direction (such as Figure 1 the up and down direction shown) distance of the door 200:

[0071] Close the vehicle door 200, and determine the actual Z-direction position dimension of the deviation of the vehicle door 200 relative to the vehicle body according to the measured gap distance relationship between the vehicle body and the vehicle door 200.

[0072] Adjust the fastener 40 to make the fastener 40 not locked, that is, there is no contact between the lower surface of the first connecting plate 21 and the fastener 40. Rotate the adjustment hole at one end of the connecting component 30, and the second connecting piece 20 generates a displacement in the Z-axis direction relative to the connecting component 30. Since the Z-direction between the connecting component 30 and the first connecting piece 10 remains unchanged all the time, the second connecting piece 20 generates a Z-direction displacement relative to the first connecting piece 10. When the Z-direction height of the door body is adjusted to the target position, the position of the vehicle door 200 relative to the vehicle body is correct. At this time, rotate the fastener 40 to make it contact with the lower surface of the first connecting plate 21 of the second connecting piece 20, and the fastener 40 applies a pre-tightening force to prevent the fastener 40 from falling off. The adjustment of the vehicle door 200 and the vehicle body is completed, and the connecting component 30 and the second connecting piece 20 are fixed. This design can greatly improve the adjustment efficiency of the door body, is convenient for adjustment, and is convenient for adjusting the vehicle door 200 to the required position at one time.
