Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an electric tailgate drive gearbox housing with integrated PCBA board. Background Technology
[0002] A power tailgate is an intelligent feature that automatically opens and closes the tailgate of a vehicle via an electric drive system, commonly found in SUVs, MPVs, and luxury sedans. Some owners of vehicles without this feature install a power tailgate themselves to achieve the same effect. However, existing DIY power tailgates often use a motor and structure that rotate together, with the PCBA board typically mounted below the motor. This causes the wiring to shift during the opening and closing of the tailgate, which is unsightly and significantly impacts wiring routing and wire selection. Therefore, a power tailgate drive gearbox housing with an integrated PCBA board is designed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
