AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The flip-up cover of a conventional car tailgate is prone to severe deformation due to the force of the lever arm acting over a long period of time.

Method used

A flip-up cover structure for a car tailgate is designed by bending and extending the second torsion arm of a torsion spring to the free end of the cover body and connecting it to the back of the cover body. This changes the position of the torsion spring's rebound force, making it close to or coincide with the position of the resistance force borne by the cover in the open state, thereby reducing the stress deformation of the cover.

Benefits of technology

It effectively eliminates the stress deformation problem of the cover plate, and improves the service life and aesthetics of the cover plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. In the present application, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a turnover cover plate structure of a tail gate sill of an automobile, which comprises a cover plate body 1 and a torsion spring 2. One end of the cover plate body 1 in the width direction is hinged to a tail gate sill body 4 of the automobile through a rotating shaft 3, and the other end of the cover plate body 1 in the width direction is a free end, so that the cover plate body 1 can reciprocally turn relative to the tail gate sill body 4 to reciprocally switch between an open state (when the back door of the automobile is closed) and a closed state (when the back door of the automobile is opened).

[0021] The two torsion springs 2 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the cover plate body 1, and both of the two torsion springs 2 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 3. A first torsion arm 21 of the torsion spring 2 is connected with the tail gate sill body 4, and a second torsion arm 22 is connected with the cover plate body 1, so as to apply an elastic force to the cover plate body 1 to make the cover plate body 1 close. Since the back door plate of the automobile usually abuts against the front surface (i.e. the appearance visible surface) of the free end of the cover plate body 1 when the back door is closed, the second torsion arm 22 of the torsion spring 2 is bent and extended to the back surface (i.e. the appearance invisible surface) of the free end of the cover plate body 1 and connected with the free end of the cover plate body 1 in the embodiment of the present application, so that the position of the elastic force of the torsion spring 2 can be changed to be close to or coincide with the abutting position of the cover plate body 1 in the open state, as shown in Figure 4 The cover plate body 1 does not need to bear the effect of the force arm any more, so that the stress deformation problem of the cover plate body 1 is eliminated.

[0022] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the second torsion arm 22 of the torsion spring 2 in the embodiment of the utility model comprises a first bending section 221, a second bending section 222 and a third bending section 223 connected in turn. Among them, the first bending section 221 extends along the width direction of the cover plate body 1, the second bending section 222 extends along the length direction of the cover plate body 1, and the third bending section 223 extends relative to the second bending section 222 towards the direction close to the cover plate body 1, and the end of the third bending section 223 is connected with the free end of the cover plate body 1. Such bending structure can meet the deformation requirement of the second torsion arm 22 rebounding with less bending path.

[0023] Further, the reinforcing rib 11 can be arranged on the back of the cover plate body 1 to enhance the overall strength of the cover plate body 1, and the end of the third bending section 223 can directly abut against the reinforcing rib 11.

[0024] In addition, in order to limit the torsion spring 2, the first fixed block 41 is arranged on the tail gate sill body 4 close to the rotating shaft 3, the second fixed block 12 is arranged on the back of the cover plate body 1 close to the rotating shaft 3, the recess for embedding the first torsion arm 21 of the torsion spring 2 is arranged on the first fixed block 41, and the recess for embedding the second torsion arm 22 of the torsion spring 2 is arranged on the second fixed block 12. The first fixed block 41 and the second fixed block 12 can effectively limit the torsion spring 2, avoiding the displacement of the torsion spring 2 in the length direction of the cover plate body 1.

[0025] In this paper, the principle and implementation mode of the utility model are described by applying specific examples, and the above embodiment is only used to help understand the technical scheme and core idea of the utility model; the person skilled in the art should understand that the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical scheme deviate from the scope of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model.
