Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a tail box cover of a pickup truck. Background Art

[0002] Pickup trucks are a common vehicle type, offering the comfort of a sedan while maintaining powerful performance. Their strong cargo capacity and ability to adapt to challenging road conditions have made them a popular off-road vehicle. To adapt to a wider range of environments, most existing pickup trucks require a hood. The hood is composed of multiple panels, which fold when in use and lay flat when not in use, covering the truck's trunk. However, as the folded hood opens to cover the trunk, the rotating panels tend to fall, increasing friction with the rubber strips and potentially damaging them. Furthermore, the folded hood is prone to rubbing against the vehicle body. Utility Model Content

[0003] An embodiment of the utility model provides a pickup truck trunk cover to at least solve the technical problem of rubber strip wear.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A pickup truck trunk lid is detachably mounted on the trunk of the pickup truck. The trunk lid is formed by splicing a plurality of panels. A hinge system is pivotally connected at the joint of two adjacent panels, so that one panel can rotate relative to the other adjacent panel.

[0006] The hinge system includes a plurality of spaced-apart transition portions and two oppositely disposed rotating portions. Each transition portion has a frame and two rotating shafts. Each rotating portion has an arcuate groove disposed toward the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the arcuate groove. The two rotating portions each have a fixed groove disposed on a side away from each other and a special-shaped groove disposed on a side close to each other. A seal is disposed between the two rotating portions.

[0007] At least one of the two rotating parts is provided with a limit member on a side close to the frame. The limit member has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is rotatably connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0008] The pickup truck trunk cover provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a limit piece between the rotating part and the adapter part, and the fixed surface, contact surface and torsion portion of the limit piece cooperate to provide auxiliary support and limit to the plate, thereby preventing the rotating plate from falling easily during the process of the cover being opened from a folded state to cover the trunk, thereby increasing the friction of the rubber strip of the seal and easily wearing out the rubber strip in the seal, and avoiding friction between the folded cover and the pickup truck body.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed surface of the stopper is connected to the rotating part, and the contact surface abuts against the side surface of the frame. In this way, the contact surface abuts against the side surface of the frame and can freely adapt to the contact position and state with the side surface of the frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing surface is located at a position where the limiting member is close to the rotating portion, and the contact surface is located at a position where the limiting member is close to the frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the pickup truck's trunk lid has a flat state and a folded state. When the pickup truck's trunk is in the folded state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter are flat. When the pickup truck's trunk is in the flat state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter are vertical or non-horizontal. This arrangement adapts to the switching between the flat state and the folded state of the pickup truck's trunk lid, providing auxiliary support and position limiting for the plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame is concave, and two rotating shafts are provided at the raised positions on both sides of the concave depression. This arrangement specifically provides the relative positions between the frame and the two rotating shafts.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one reinforcement member is installed at the junction of two adjacent plates. In this way, the reinforcement member is arranged on the basis of the limiter to further improve the support and limit effect. On the other hand, the reinforcement member can prevent the frame from breaking and the plates from flying off. It can be a webbing to play a safety role.

[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcement is arched, and has mounting portions on both sides of the bottom end of the arch, and the reinforcement can be twisted and deformed. In this way, the arched design improves support and compression resistance.

[0015] Furthermore, the height of the reinforcement is higher than the frame, so that double support and limitation are achieved, and the effect is better.

[0016] Furthermore, the sealing member includes a first elastic strip and a second elastic strip disposed opposite to and in contact with the first elastic strip, wherein the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip each have a special-shaped portion on a side away from each other that cooperates with the special-shaped groove, and the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip each have a first arcuate portion and a second arcuate portion at a position close to each other, and a cavity is defined inside the first arcuate portion and the second arcuate portion;

[0017] During assembly, pressure is applied along both sides of the seal toward the center, squeezing the first and second curved portions. The cavity, squeezed by the pressure, contracts, allowing the first and second curved portions to fit tightly together. This arrangement improves the sealing performance of the two panels in both the flat and folded states.

[0018] Furthermore, the first elastic strip has an abutment portion on one side facing the transition portion, the abutment portion has an inclined surface, and the second elastic strip has a pressing portion on one side facing the transition portion, the end of the pressing portion always maintains a contact state or a non-contact state with the inclined surface;

[0019] During assembly, pressure is applied along both sides of the seal toward the center, creating close contact between the press-fit portion and the abutment portion. During this process, the press-fit portion maintains no state change or undergoes adaptive deformation, with the distal end of the press-fit portion tilting along the slope of the abutment portion. This arrangement further enhances the sealing performance of the two sealing strips when switching between the flat and folded positions, as well as the sealing effect in both the flat and folded positions.

[0020] Furthermore, the pressed portion is L-shaped, with the second elastic strip closer to the front of the vehicle than the first elastic strip. This arrangement creates an L-shaped design with a long side and a short side, with the long side's end, which is farther from the short side, being the terminal end and easily adaptively deforming. The force exerted to restore the original state further presses the connection, making it even tighter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] This application discloses a pickup truck tailgate. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, which can be detachably mounted on the trunk of a pickup truck. The trunk cover of the pickup truck is composed of a plurality of panels 1. A hinge system 2 is pivotally connected at the joint of two adjacent panels 1, so that one panel 1 can rotate relative to another adjacent panel 1;

[0038] See Figure 4 The hinge system 2 includes a plurality of spaced-apart transition portions 21 and two oppositely disposed rotating portions 22. Each transition portion 21 has a frame 212 and two rotating shafts 211. Each rotating portion 22 is provided with an arcuate slot 221 facing the rotating shaft 211. The rotating shaft 211 is pivotally connected to the arcuate slot 221.

[0039] A limiting member 4 is provided on one side of at least one of the two rotating parts 22 close to the frame 212. The limiting member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is rotatably connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface. The torsion portion can be a torsion spring.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 A limiting member 4 is provided on the side of the rotating portion 22 located on the right side close to the frame 212. The limiting member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0041] In other embodiments, see Figure 9 A limit member 4 is provided on the side of the rotating portion 22 located on the left side close to the frame 212. The limit member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0042] In some other embodiments, see Figure 10 A limit member 4 is provided on one side of the two rotating parts 22 located on the left and right sides close to the frame 212. The limit member 4 has a fixed surface and a contact surface. The fixed surface is pivotally connected to one side of the contact surface, and a torsion portion is provided between the fixed surface and the contact surface.

[0043] The pickup truck trunk cover provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a limit piece between the rotating part and the adapter part, and the fixed surface, contact surface and torsion portion of the limit piece cooperate to provide auxiliary support and limit to the plate, thereby preventing the rotating plate from falling easily during the process of the cover being opened from a folded state to cover the trunk, thereby increasing the friction of the rubber strip of the seal and easily wearing out the rubber strip in the seal, and avoiding friction between the folded cover and the pickup truck body.

[0044] See Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10To adapt the position and angle of the frame 212 to the position of the stopper 4, the fixed surface of the stopper 4 is connected to the rotating portion 22, and the contact surface abuts the side of the frame 212. The contact surface abuts the side of the frame 212, allowing the position and state of contact with the side of the frame to be freely adapted. The fixed surface is located near the rotating portion 22, and the contact surface is located near the frame 212.

[0045] The pickup truck trunk lid has a flat state and a folded state. The flat state covers the trunk, while the folded state opens the trunk. The folding start point is toward the rear of the pickup truck, and the folding end point is toward the front of the pickup truck. Multiple cover plates are arranged along the path from the start point to the end point. When the pickup truck trunk is in the folded state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter 4 are flat. When the pickup truck trunk is in the flat state, the fixing surface and the contact surface of the limiter 4 are vertical or non-horizontal. The cover plate is provided to assist in supporting and limiting the plate when the pickup truck trunk lid switches between the flat state and the folded state.

[0046] Please continue to see Figure 4 The frame 212 is concave, and two rotating shafts 211 are provided at the raised positions on both sides of the concave depression. The relative positions between the frame 212 and the two rotating shafts 211 are specifically given.

[0047] See Figure 11 At least one reinforcement member 3 is installed at the junction of two adjacent panels 1. Arranging the reinforcement member 3 on the basis of the limiter 4 further improves the support and limit effect. On the other hand, the reinforcement member 4 can prevent the frame 212 from breaking and the panel 1 from detaching and flying away. It can be a webbing to play a safety role.

[0048] Please continue to see Figure 12 The reinforcement member 3 is arched, with mounting portions 31 on both sides of the arched bottom. The reinforcement member 4 is capable of twisting and deforming. The arched design enhances support and compressive resistance. The reinforcement member 3 is higher than the frame 212. This dual support and restraint mechanism provides enhanced performance.

[0049] Please attend Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sealing member 23 includes a first elastic strip 231 and a second elastic strip 232 disposed opposite to and in contact with the first elastic strip 231. The first elastic strip 231 and the second elastic strip 232 have, on their sides away from each other, special-shaped portions 2311 and 2321 that cooperate with the special-shaped groove 223. The first elastic strip 231 and the second elastic strip 232 have, on their sides close to each other, a first arcuate portion 2312 and a second arcuate portion 2322. The first arcuate portion 2312 and the second arcuate portion 2322 both have cavities 2313 and 2323 defined therein.

[0050] During assembly, pressure is applied along both sides of the seal 23 toward the center, squeezing the first curved portion 2312 and the second curved portion 2322. The squeezed cavities 2313 and 2323 contract, allowing the first curved portion 2312 and the second curved portion 2322 to fit tightly together. This improves the sealing performance of the two panels when they are laid flat or folded.

[0051] See Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first elastic strip 231 has an abutting portion 2314 on the side facing the transition portion 21, and the abutting portion 2314 has an inclined surface 2315. The second elastic strip 232 has a pressing portion 2324 on the side facing the transition portion 21. The end 2325 of the pressing portion 2324 always maintains contact with the inclined surface 2315 to improve the waterproof effect.

[0052] During the assembly process of the seal 23, a pressure is applied to the middle along both sides of the seal 23, and the pressing portion 2324 is in close contact with the abutment portion 2314. During this process, the pressing portion 2324 does not change state or undergo adaptive deformation, and the end 2325 of the pressing portion 2324 is tilted along the inclined surface 2315 of the abutment portion 2314. This further improves the sealing performance of the two sealing strips during the switching process between the flat state and the folded state, as well as the sealing effect in the flat state and the folded state. The pressing portion 2324 is L-shaped, and the second elastic strip 232 is closer to the front of the vehicle than the first elastic strip 231. The L-shaped design has a long side and a short side, and the end of the long side away from the short side is the end, and is prone to adaptive deformation. It is further pressed together by the force of restoring the initial state, making the connection between them tighter.

[0053] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
