[0035] See also Figures 1 - 3 , the utility model provides a trunk side track, comprising a track assembly 1 and a plug 2;

[0036] At least one of the plugs 2 is detachably connected to the end of the track assembly 1 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the track assembly 1, and the plug 2 protrudes outside the track assembly 1 along the length direction of the track assembly 1. The end of the plug 2 protruding outside the track assembly 1 is used to be pressed onto the rear sill 3, that is, the plug 2 is located at the end of the track assembly 1 facing the rear sill 3. Since the general track assembly 1 can be regardless of the front and rear ends, the special plug 2 can be located at either end of the track assembly 1. When the track assembly 1 is installed, it is only necessary to install the end with the special plug 2 facing the rear sill 3; wherein the rear sill 3 is a plastic part or a metal part.

[0037] Furthermore, the first extension edge 112 is extended perpendicularly to the length direction of the track assembly 1 , that is, when the trunk side track is installed in the trunk, the first extension edge 112 is arranged along the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0038] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the track assembly 1, that is, the track on the side of the trunk, is installed on the installation surface inside the trunk. In this case, it mainly means that when the track assembly 1 is directly or indirectly installed on the rear floor inside the trunk, the bottom surface of the track assembly 1 is the bottom surface of the track assembly 1 in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The track assembly 1 can be provided with plugs 2 at only one end, or plugs 2 can be provided at both ends, and the plugs 2 at both ends can have the same or different structures, and the installation methods can also be different.

[0039] Furthermore, in the vehicle trunk, the tail sill 3 is generally pressed on the carpet 4 to fix the carpet 4. The track assembly 1, the tail sill 3, and the carpet 4 are all structures that affect the appearance of the trunk interior. When the track assembly 1 provided in this case is installed, by installing a plug 2 on the track assembly 1 near one end of the tail sill 3, the part of the special plug 2 extending out of the track assembly 1 is pressed on the tail sill 3. For example, it can also be provided with a limit at the edge of the tail sill 3. The first extension edge 112 of the track assembly 1 is pressed under the carpet 4 and forms a connection with the carpet 4. The carpet 4 can cover the first extension edge 112, which is beneficial to the overall aesthetics of the vehicle trunk.

[0040] Furthermore, the track assembly 1 is arranged on the rear floor inside the trunk along the length direction of the vehicle body. At least two track assemblies 1 are provided, and the two track assemblies 1 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle body and are respectively adjacent to the edge of the rear floor.

[0041] Furthermore, the track assembly 1 is a fixed track or a sliding track.

[0042] The fixed rail is usually used to fix equipment or furniture, such as the bottom of a refrigerator or a shelf, to facilitate adjustment and positioning. It has a simple structure and a strong load-bearing capacity, but low flexibility. It is mostly used to fix equipment or reduce friction. The fixed rail is generally not responsible for precise guidance, but as part of the fixing device, it ensures the correct installation and basic movement trajectory of mechanical parts. When the track assembly 1 is used as a fixed rail, for example, the fixed rail can be used to fix heavier objects such as refrigerators and small kitchens in the trunk of a vehicle, and it is convenient for the installation, disassembly and position adjustment of refrigerators, small kitchens, etc., wherein the small kitchen refers to a cabinet that can place kitchen utensils such as bowls and chopsticks or a stove that can place a wok. The sliding rail generally allows the slider to move along its length direction, and is usually used in cabinets or any equipment that requires linear movement. The basic structure of the sliding rail includes a guide rail and a slider that constrains the motion trajectory. It has the characteristics of being able to support the weight of objects on the slider and ensuring the guiding accuracy for a long time; when the track assembly 1 is used as a sliding rail, for example, the track assembly 1 is generally set to two, and when in use, a sliding storage plate that is slidably connected to the track assembly 1 is usually set on the two track assemblies 1, so that the sliding storage plate can slide in the trunk along the length direction of the vehicle body, thereby facilitating the movement of objects placed on the sliding storage plate in the trunk, and then facilitating manual picking or placement of objects.

[0043] To sum up, in this case, the track assembly 1 is provided, so that the objects connected with the track assembly 1 in the trunk are easy to install, disassemble and adjust the position, thereby improving the convenience of vehicle use; by providing a plug 2 at the end of the track assembly 1, on the one hand, it can limit the bottom of the object moving in the track assembly 1, and on the other hand, it is conducive to the mutual restraint between the trunk side rails, the rear door sill 3, and the carpet 4, which ensures the appearance quality while facilitating assembly, and avoids the problem of assembly dead loop when the trunk side rails, the rear door sill 3 and the carpet 4 are mutually restrained.

[0044] See also Figures 3 - 5 , as an optional embodiment of the present case, the track assembly 1 includes an outer guide rail 11 and an inner guide rail 12;

[0045] The outer guide rail 11 includes a strip-shaped installation cavity 111 ; the inner guide rail 12 is received in the installation cavity 111 , and both the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12 are provided with installation points 121 and / or positioning points 122 with the same hole positions.

[0046] It should be noted that the inner guide rail 12 and the outer guide rail 11 are detachably connected. The outer guide rail 11 serves as an external support structure, providing the basic framework of the entire rail assembly 1 and ensuring the structural stability of the trunk side rail. The inner guide rail 12 is received in the installation cavity 111 of the outer guide rail 11 and works in cooperation with the outer guide rail 11, increasing the overall rigidity of the rail assembly 1 and reducing the risk of deformation in heavy load or bumpy environments. It should be understood that the inner wall of the installation cavity 111 and the inner guide rail 12 are limited in other directions except in the length direction of the rail assembly 1, so as to ensure the stable installation between the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 1 、 3 , mounting points 121 and / or positioning points 122 with consistent hole positions are provided on the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12, which enables the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12 to be quickly and accurately docked and fixed; at the same time, the consistent hole positions simplify the production and assembly processes, improve production efficiency, and facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 3 - 5 , as an optional embodiment of this case, the plug 2 protruding outside the rail assembly 1 along the length direction of the rail assembly 1 includes a protruding connection portion 21 and a limiting portion 22; a connection hole 211 for fixedly connecting with the rail assembly 1 is provided on the protruding connection portion 21; the limiting portion 22 has a pressing surface 221 matching the upper surface of the tail sill 3;

[0049] The protruding connection portion 21 extends into the installation cavity 111 and is limitedly connected with the inner guide rail 12; the design of the protruding connection portion 21 enables the plug 2 to extend into the installation cavity 111 to block the end of the rail assembly 1, enhancing the connection stability between the plug 2 and the rail assembly 1 and / or limiting the sliding member in the inner guide rail 12. The sliding member can be, for example, the mounting structure at the bottom of the object mounted on the trunk side rail; the limiting portion 22 is limited outside the end of the outer guide rail 11 and is used for pressing on the upper surface of the tail sill 3, so as to facilitate the assembly and limitation between the trunk side rail and other components in the trunk, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural connection in the trunk.

[0050] As an optional embodiment of this case, the plug 2 protruding outside the rail assembly 1 along the length direction of the rail assembly 1 abuts against the convex platform of the tail sill 3, so as to realize the limitation of the rail assembly 1 in the vehicle body length direction, which is beneficial to the installation stability of the rail assembly 1.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 、 4, as an alternative embodiment of this case, perpendicular to the length direction of the track assembly 1, a first extension edge 112 for lapping with the carpet 4 is provided on one side of the track assembly 1. Along the direction perpendicular to the vehicle height, the edge of the carpet 4 is lapped above the first extension edge 112, and a connecting member for fixing the carpet 4 is provided on the first extension edge 112; the connecting member is a magic tape, so as to be detachably connected to the carpet 4. Through the arrangement of the first extension edge 112 and the connecting member, it is beneficial to the adaptation and installation connection between the trunk side track and other surrounding structural members, and is beneficial to the structural stability and aesthetics in the trunk.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 , as an alternative embodiment of this case, at least one end of the inner guide rail 12 is provided with a limiting structure 123. It should be understood that the limiting structure 123 can be welded to the inner guide rail 12 later. When the limiting structure 123 is integrally formed with the inner guide rail 12, the integrally formed limiting structure 123 simplifies the assembly process of the limiting structure 123;

[0053] Along the length direction of the inner guide rail 12, the distance from the limiting structure 123 to the middle of the inner guide rail 12 is less than the distance from the corresponding end plug 2 to the middle of the inner guide rail 12, so that the limiting structure 123 is closer to the sliding member in the inner guide rail 12 than the plug 2, thereby realizing the limitation of the stroke of the sliding member and avoiding the direct impact of the sliding member on the plug 2 when sliding in the inner guide rail 12, which may cause damage and looseness of the plug 2.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 、 4 , as an alternative embodiment of this case, at least one end of the inner guide rail 12 is provided with a notch structure 124 for avoiding the corresponding plug 2, so that the corresponding plug 2 is flush with the upper end of the guide rail assembly 1 in the vehicle height direction. On the one hand, it avoids the appearance of a protruding stepped structure that affects the aesthetics, and on the other hand, it avoids scratching the installer or objects by the protruding stepped structure.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 、 4 , as another alternative embodiment of this case, notch structures 124 are provided at both ends of the inner guide rail 12. The notch structure 124 is configured to be limited by the corresponding plug 2 along the length direction and / or width direction of the inner guide rail 12. That is, the notch structure 124 of the inner guide rail 12 is adapted to the protruding connecting portion 21. When plugs 2 are provided at both ends of the outer track, the two plugs 2 can cooperate to limit both ends of the inner guide rail 12 in the outer guide rail 11. It should be understood that the two plugs 2 may have differences in structure, but need to be adapted to the notch structure 124 at the end of the inner guide rail 12. Among them, the width direction is perpendicular to the length direction.

[0056] As an alternative embodiment of this case, the material strength of the inner guide rail 12 is greater than that of the outer guide rail 11; generally, the outer guide rail 11 is made of aluminum material, which can form a more beautiful appearance; while the inner guide rail 12 can be selected to be cast from steel material to ensure the structural strength of the inner guide rail 12.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , as an alternative embodiment of this case, perpendicular to the length direction of the track assembly 1, a second extension edge 113 is provided on the other side of the track assembly 1, and the second extension edge 113 is provided with mounting holes; the second extension edge 113 is provided outside the outer guide rail 11, so as to facilitate the connection of the outer guide rail 11 to other structures through the mounting holes, such as directly or indirectly connecting to the side trim or the cover plate, thereby improving the aesthetics of the trunk.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , 4 , as an alternative embodiment of this case, the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12 are both provided with strip-shaped openings along a first direction to facilitate the movement of the sliding member, that is, the upper part of the sliding member extends out of the inner guide rail 12 and the outer guide rail 11, and the sliding member can be a slider or a sliding structure at the bottom of the object;

[0059] At least one flared opening 114 for installing the sliding member is provided along the length direction of the strip-shaped opening, wherein the first direction is respectively the length direction of the outer guide rail 11 and the inner guide rail 12; through the flared opening 114, the installation of the sliding member is facilitated, and the remaining edges of the strip-shaped opening can play a role in limiting and / or supporting the sliding member.

[0060] The present utility model also provides a vehicle, including the trunk side rail described above, so that the vehicle is also within the protection scope of this case.

[0061] In summary, the present utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, so it has high utilization value and practical significance.

[0062] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model, rather than limiting the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
