Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobiles and relates to a tailgate inner panel, a tailgate and an automobile, and in particular to a tailgate inner panel with a reinforced structure, a detachable outer panel tailgate and an automobile. Background Art
[0002] In the existing field of automobile tailgate technology, there is a tailgate with a detachable outer panel, which connects the inner and outer panels by means of easy-to-detach methods such as snap-fitting and threading. This connection method replaces the traditional full-circle welding or bonding, and provides convenience for the maintainability and personalized modification of the tailgate outer panel. However, due to the lack of a full-circle connection between the inner and outer panels, as well as the reinforcement ribs, bulges, grooves and other structures of the tailgate inner panel itself, the tailgate has insufficient rigidity. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problem of insufficient rigidity of the existing tailgate with detachable outer panel, and to provide a tailgate inner panel, a tailgate and a car with a reinforced structure. The reinforcement structure of the tailgate inner panel is arranged around the tailgate, and a tailgate duct reinforcement structure is introduced into an annular groove running through the entire circle of the tailgate. Reinforcing ribs are provided on the tailgate duct reinforcement structure to connect the annular groove and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure, so as to supplement the rigidity loss caused by replacing the traditional inner and outer panel welding or bonding by easy-to-detach methods such as clipping and threaded connection.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] The first aspect of the present invention provides a tailgate inner panel, which is assembled with the tailgate outer panel to form a tailgate structure, specifically comprising
[0006] Tailgate inner panel body;
[0007] An annular groove is provided on the inner side of the outer edge of the tailgate inner panel body along the circumferential direction;
[0008] The tailgate duct reinforcement structure is in the shape of a pipe and extends along the bottom surface of the annular groove; at the lower side of the tailgate inner panel body, the two ends of the tailgate duct reinforcement structure converge and extend together outward of the annular groove; and
[0009] The reinforcement ribs are erected on the tailgate duct reinforcement structure and supported between the two side walls of the annular groove. The back surface of the annular groove's bottom surface serves as a sealing surface, contacting the vehicle body's weatherstrip. The tubular tailgate duct reinforcement structure has a closed cavity cross-section, resulting in a greater moment of inertia than an open groove structure. A greater moment of inertia improves the overall structure's bending and torsional resistance, and thus, its rigidity. Therefore, the tailgate duct reinforcement structure can better resist twisting, bending, and lateral deformation during actual use, enhancing the rigidity of the tailgate inner panel itself and resolving the rigidity issues often associated with removable outer panel tailgates. The reinforcement ribs connect the annular groove and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure, enhancing the connection strength between the annular groove and the duct reinforcement structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the tailgate outer panel and the tailgate inner panel are connected by snapping.
[0011] Furthermore, the tailgate outer panel and the tailgate inner panel are connected via threads.
[0012] Furthermore, the tailgate inner panel body is a fiber reinforced plastic tailgate inner panel body.
[0013] Furthermore, the tailgate duct reinforcement structure is a fiber-reinforced plastic tailgate duct reinforcement structure or a metal tailgate duct reinforcement structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the tailgate inner panel body and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure are integrally formed by gas-assisted injection molding or insert injection molding.
[0015] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs are fiber reinforced plastic reinforcing ribs.
[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the reinforcing rib is 1 to 3 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing rib is 2 mm. The provision of the reinforcing rib can enhance the rigidity of the tailgate without increasing the thickness of the tailgate inner panel, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient rigidity of detachable outer panel tailgates.
[0017] A second aspect of the present invention provides a tailgate, on which the tailgate inner panel as described in the first aspect is assembled.
[0018] A third aspect of the present invention provides a car, which is equipped with the tailgate as described in the second aspect.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1) The utility model provides a tailgate inner panel, which is provided with an annular groove along the inner side of the outer edge of the circumference of the tailgate inner panel body, and a pipe-shaped tailgate duct reinforcement structure is provided in the groove. The cross section of the pipe is a closed cavity structure. Compared with the groove structure with an open cross section, it has a larger cross-sectional moment of inertia. The larger the cross-sectional moment of inertia, the better the bending and torsional resistance of the entire structure, and thus the better the rigidity. The rigidity of the tailgate inner panel itself is improved, and the problem of insufficient rigidity of the detachable outer panel tailgate can be solved.
[0021] 2) The utility model provides a tailgate inner panel, in which a tailgate reinforcement rib structure is provided in the annular groove. The reinforcement rib structure connects the annular groove and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure to further improve its rigidity.
[0022] 3) The structural reinforcement system proposed in the present invention has a simple structure and high flexibility, and can be applied not only to the field of automobile tailgates, but also to other usage scenarios requiring structural reinforcement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Unless otherwise specified, functional components or structures are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0032] In the following embodiments, the fiber-reinforced plastic tailgate inner panel body is a long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP-LGF) type plastic tailgate inner panel body; the fiber-reinforced plastic tailgate duct reinforcement structure is a PP-LGF type plastic tailgate duct reinforcement structure; the metal tailgate duct reinforcement structure is a steel tailgate duct reinforcement structure; and the fiber-reinforced plastic reinforcement rib is a PP-LGF type plastic reinforcement rib.
[0033] Example:
[0034] A tailgate inner panel is assembled with a tailgate outer panel to form a tailgate structure, and the tailgate outer panel and the tailgate inner panel are connected by threads. Figure 1 The figure shows the overall structure of the tailgate inner panel in this embodiment. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3The AA, BB, and CC cross-sections of the tailgate inner panel in the embodiment, respectively, show that the tailgate inner panel specifically comprises a tailgate inner panel body 1, an annular groove 4 circumferentially disposed inwardly of the outer edge of the tailgate inner panel body 1, a pipe-shaped tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2, and reinforcement ribs 3. The tailgate inner panel body 1 and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 are produced by gas-assisted injection molding. The tailgate inner panel body 1 is a fiber-reinforced plastic tailgate inner panel, and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 is a fiber-reinforced plastic tailgate duct reinforcement structure or a metal tailgate duct reinforcement structure, which extends along the bottom surface of the annular groove 4. At the lower side of the tailgate inner panel body 1, the two ends of the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 converge and extend together outward of the annular groove 4. Among them, the two ends of the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 extending outward are respectively the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 when the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 is gas-assisted injection molded. The cross-section of the pipe-shaped tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 is a closed cavity structure. Compared with the groove structure with an open cross-section, it has a larger cross-sectional moment of inertia. The larger the cross-sectional moment of inertia, the better the bending and torsional resistance of the entire structure, and thus the stronger it is. The degree will be better, so the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 can better resist the torsion, bending and lateral deformation of the tailgate in actual use, improve the rigidity of the tailgate inner panel itself, and thus solve the problem of insufficient rigidity of the detachable outer panel tailgate; the reinforcement rib 3 is a fiber-reinforced plastic reinforcement rib with a thickness of 2mm and is vertically arranged on the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2, and is supported and connected between the two side walls of the annular groove 4. The reinforcement rib 3 connects the annular groove 4 and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2 into one, and is used to improve the connection strength between the annular groove 4 and the tailgate duct reinforcement structure 2. The reinforcement rib 3 can enhance its rigidity without increasing the wall thickness of the tailgate inner panel, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient rigidity of the detachable outer panel tailgate.
