Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a tailgate assembly component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry continues to develop, the demand for vehicle styling is also becoming increasingly diversified. Taking SUV models as an example, their tailgates are usually based on the shape of the sheet metal itself. However, since sheet metal is often formed by stamping, its styling is limited and cannot achieve complex or diverse shapes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a tailgate assembly component and vehicle to solve the problem of how to improve the richness of the styling when sheet metal forming cannot meet the styling requirements.

[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a tailgate assembly, comprising:

[0005] Sheet metal frame;

[0006] The taillight is connected to the sheet metal frame and is set to protrude from the sheet metal frame at least partially along a first direction.

[0007] The first trim panel and the second trim panel are respectively positioned on both sides of the taillight along the second direction;

[0008] A connecting bracket is connected to the sheet metal frame. The connecting bracket is disposed between the sheet metal frame and the second trim panel along the first direction. The connecting bracket is suitable for supporting the area of ​​the taillight protruding relative to the sheet metal frame along the first direction.

[0009] The first trim panel is connected to the sheet metal frame and to the taillight to restrict the taillight from moving in a first direction away from the sheet metal frame.

[0010] Beneficial Effects: The first and second trim panels, positioned on the outside of the sheet metal frame, prevent the frame from having a monotonous design, allowing for greater styling variety and thus enhancing competitiveness. By further incorporating connecting brackets, the second trim panel can be constrained, reducing deformation. Furthermore, the brackets support the area of ​​the taillight protruding from the sheet metal frame along the first direction, improving the taillight's mounting stability. The first trim panel's constraint on the taillight restricts its movement away from the sheet metal frame along the first direction, further enhancing its mounting stability. The interplay between the first and second trim panels and the taillight achieves optimal positioning, facilitating integrated design and shortening the dimensional chain, reducing subsequent matching cycles and costs.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, a bracket support portion is formed at one end of the connecting bracket near the taillight along the second direction, and a taillight support position is formed at one end of the taillight near the connecting bracket along the second direction. The bracket support portion is adapted to support the taillight support position along the second direction.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By cooperating with the bracket support and the taillight support, the movement of the taillight in the second direction can be limited. When the second direction is the vehicle height direction, the connecting bracket can be set relatively below the taillight in the vehicle height direction, thereby providing support for the taillight.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the tailgate assembly further includes: a first trim panel partial frame, the first trim panel partial frame being disposed on at least one side of the first trim panel along a third direction;

[0014] The first decorative panel has a partial skeleton forming a first decorative panel skeleton mounting part, and the sheet metal frame has a sheet metal first mounting position. The first decorative panel skeleton mounting part and the sheet metal first mounting position are fixedly connected via a first assembly.

[0015] Beneficial effects: By setting a partial skeleton of the first trim panel on at least one side along a third direction, it is possible to avoid setting a skeleton structure on the entire surface of the first trim panel, making it easier to make the first trim panel into a single-layer panel, thereby achieving weight reduction and cost reduction.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the partial skeleton of the first trim panel is bonded to the first trim panel.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, a first trim panel is provided with a partial frame on both sides along a third direction, and a second mounting part of the first trim panel is formed in the area between the partial frames of the first trim panel on both sides along a third direction. A second mounting position of the sheet metal frame is formed, and the second mounting part of the first trim panel is snapped into the second mounting position of the sheet metal.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In order to further ensure the overall installation firmness of the first trim panel, a second mounting part of the first trim panel is formed in the area between the partial skeletons of the first trim panel on both sides along the third direction. The sheet metal frame forms a second mounting position of sheet metal. The first trim panel is connected to the second mounting part of sheet metal by snap-fitting. This can further ensure the connection effect between the first trim panel and the sheet metal frame and reduce the degree of deformation.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the first trim panel has a first trim panel first mounting portion, and the taillight has a taillight first mounting position, wherein the first trim panel first mounting portion and the taillight first mounting position are snap-fitted together.

[0020] Beneficial effects: By connecting the first trim panel and the first mounting part with the taillight, the integrated design of the first trim panel and the taillight can be realized, which can shorten the size chain and reduce the later matching cycle and cost.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, a first trim panel is formed at one end of the first trim panel near the taillight along the second direction, and a taillight is formed with a taillight limiting assembly. When the first mounting part of the first trim panel and the first mounting position of the taillight are in a snap-fit ​​state, the first trim panel limiting part is adapted to limit the taillight limiting assembly in the first direction.

[0022] Beneficial effects: By forming a first trim panel limiting portion at the end of the first trim panel near the taillight along the second direction, and forming a corresponding taillight limiting assembly portion at the taillight, when the first trim panel first mounting portion and the taillight first mounting position are in a snap-fit ​​state, the first trim panel limiting portion can limit the taillight limiting assembly portion along the first direction, thereby ensuring the limiting of the taillight by the first trim panel. Furthermore, the first trim panel limiting portion and the taillight limiting assembly portion limit each other through mutual abutment, ensuring a tight fit and reducing gaps. Moreover, when the second direction is the vehicle height direction, the first trim panel first mounting portion extends downwards, and the taillight first mounting position extends upwards; when the two are tightly fitted together, the waterproof effect is improved, reducing rainwater intrusion.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the tailgate assembly further includes: a second trim panel partial frame, the second trim panel partial frame being disposed on at least one side of the second trim panel along a third direction; the second trim panel partial frame being fixedly connected to the sheet metal frame.

[0024] Beneficial effects: By setting a partial skeleton for the second trim panel on at least one side along a third direction, it is possible to avoid setting a skeleton structure on the entire surface of the second trim panel, making it easier to make the second trim panel into a single-layer panel, thereby achieving weight reduction and cost reduction.

[0025] In one alternative embodiment, the second trim panel is provided with partial frames on both sides along the third direction, and a second trim panel fitting is formed in the area between the partial frames on both sides along the third direction. The second trim panel fitting is fixedly connected to the sheet metal frame via the second fitting.

[0026] Beneficial effects: By fixing the second trim panel to the sheet metal frame via the second trim panel, the connection effect between the second trim panel and the sheet metal frame can be further guaranteed, and the degree of deformation can be reduced.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the connecting bracket has a bracket mounting portion, the sheet metal frame has a sheet metal third mounting position, and the bracket mounting portion and the sheet metal third mounting position are fixedly connected via a third assembly.

[0028] Beneficial effects: By fixing the connecting bracket to the sheet metal frame, the connecting bracket can serve as a base to support the second trim panel, facilitating diverse styling options for the second trim panel. Furthermore, the connecting bracket also supports the taillights, improving the stability of the taillight installation.

[0029] In one alternative embodiment, a bracket limiting groove is formed at one end of the connecting bracket near the taillight along the second direction.

[0030] The second trim panel has a second trim panel limiting member at one end near the taillight along the second direction. The second trim panel limiting member is adapted to extend into the bracket limiting slot along the first direction.

[0031] Beneficial effects: By extending the second trim panel limiting member into the bracket limiting slot along the first direction, the bracket limiting slot can be used to lock and limit the second trim panel, reducing the deformation of the second trim panel and reducing the generation of assembly gaps.

[0032] Secondly, this utility model also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a tailgate assembly as described above, installed on the vehicle body.

[0033] Since the vehicle includes a tailgate assembly component, which has the same effect as the tailgate assembly component, it will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0060] The following is combined Figures 1 to 12 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a tailgate assembly is provided, comprising:

[0062] Sheet metal frame 5;

[0063] Taillight 6 is connected to sheet metal frame 5, and taillight 6 is set to protrude at least partially from sheet metal frame 5 along a first direction;

[0064] The first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 8 are respectively disposed on both sides of the taillight 6 along the second direction;

[0065] The connecting bracket 7 is connected to the sheet metal frame 5. The connecting bracket 7 is disposed between the sheet metal frame 5 and the second trim panel 8 along the first direction. The connecting bracket 7 is suitable for supporting the area of ​​the taillight 6 that protrudes relative to the sheet metal frame 5 along the first direction.

[0066] The first trim panel 1 is connected to the sheet metal frame 5, and the first trim panel 1 is connected to the taillight 6 to restrict the taillight 6 from moving in a direction away from the sheet metal frame 5 along the first direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sheet metal frame 5 is made of metal and serves as the assembly base for other components.

[0068] The taillight 6 can be a continuous taillight or a split taillight; in this embodiment, the taillight 6 specifically refers to a continuous taillight. The taillight 6 can be connected to the sheet metal frame 5 by bolts, and the taillight 6 is provided with multiple cross pins for positioning with the sheet metal frame 5.

[0069] After the taillight 6 is connected to the sheet metal frame 5, the taillight 6 protrudes at least partially from the sheet metal frame 5 along the first direction. In order to ensure the positioning effect of the protruding structure, this embodiment further constrains the taillight 6 by the first decorative plate 1 and the second decorative plate 8.

[0070] The first decorative panel 1 and the second decorative panel 8 can be plastic parts. The first decorative panel 1 and the second decorative panel 8 are installed on the outside of the sheet metal frame 5, which avoids the monotony of the sheet metal frame 5 itself, and facilitates the enrichment of the design, thereby enhancing competitiveness.

[0071] The connecting bracket 7 is connected to the sheet metal frame 5. In this embodiment, the connecting bracket 7 can be connected to the sheet metal frame 5 by screws. The connection method between the connecting bracket 7 and the sheet metal frame 5 will be described in detail below.

[0072] By further configuring the connecting bracket 7, on the one hand, the connecting bracket 7 can be used to constrain the second trim panel 8, reducing the deformation of the second trim panel 8. The cooperation method between the connecting bracket 7 and the second trim panel 8 will be described in detail below. On the other hand, the connecting bracket 7 can be used to support the area of ​​the taillight 6 protruding relative to the sheet metal frame 5 along the first direction, improving the installation firmness of the taillight 6.

[0073] Furthermore, the first trim panel 1 is connected to the taillight 6, specifically by a snap-fit ​​connection. By constraining the taillight 6 with the first trim panel 1, the taillight 6 can be restricted from moving away from the sheet metal frame 5 along the first direction, thereby further improving the installation firmness of the taillight 6.

[0074] The tailgate assembly provided in the embodiment of this utility model achieves the requirement of full positioning through the cooperation of the first trim panel 1, the second trim panel 8 and the taillight 6, which facilitates the integrated design of the first trim panel 1, the second trim panel 8 and the taillight 6, shortens the size chain, and reduces the later matching cycle and cost.

[0075] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction can be the vehicle length direction, the second direction can be the vehicle height direction, and the third direction can be the vehicle width direction.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 8 are respectively disposed on both sides of the taillight 6 along the second direction; when the second direction is the vehicle height direction, that is, the first trim panel 1 and the second trim panel 8 are respectively disposed on both sides of the taillight 6 along the vehicle height direction, wherein the first trim panel 1 can be the upper trim panel and the second trim panel 8 can be the lower trim panel.

[0077] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 11 As shown, the connecting bracket 7 has a bracket support portion 72 formed at one end near the taillight 6 along the second direction, and the taillight 6 has a taillight support position 62 formed at one end near the connecting bracket 7 along the second direction. The bracket support portion 72 is adapted to support the taillight support position 62 along the second direction.

[0078] By cooperating with the bracket support 72 and the taillight support 62, the movement of the taillight 6 in the second direction can be limited. When the second direction is the vehicle height direction, the connecting bracket 7 can be set relatively below the taillight 6 in the vehicle height direction, thereby providing support for the taillight 6.

[0079] Specifically, the bracket support 72 can be a support piece structure extending from the end of the connecting bracket 7 near the taillight 6 along the second direction. The taillight support position 62 can match the shape of the bracket support 72, thereby facilitating the positioning of both and making installation easier.

[0080] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the tailgate assembly also includes: a first trim panel partial frame 3, which is disposed on at least one side of the first trim panel 1 along a third direction;

[0081] The first decorative panel partial frame 3 has a first decorative panel frame mounting part 31, and the sheet metal frame 5 has a sheet metal first mounting position 51. The first decorative panel frame mounting part 31 and the sheet metal first mounting position 51 are fixedly connected via the first assembly part 41.

[0082] By providing a partial frame 3 for the first trim panel 1 along at least one side in a third direction, it is possible to avoid setting a frame structure on the entire surface of the first trim panel 1, making it easier to make the first trim panel 1 into a single-layer panel, thereby achieving weight reduction and cost reduction. Compared with the traditional full frame structure, the combination of the first trim panel 1 and the partial frame 3 can reduce the weight by about 35%.

[0083] Combination Figure 8 As shown, the first trim panel frame mounting part 31 and the sheet metal first mounting position 51 are fixedly connected via the first mounting accessory 41, which can be a bolt. By connecting the first trim panel frame mounting part 31 and the sheet metal first mounting position 51, the first trim panel 1 and the sheet metal frame 5 can be fixed, preventing deformation at high and low temperatures and improving the firmness.

[0084] In some embodiments, the partial skeleton 3 of the first decorative panel is bonded to the first decorative panel 1.

[0085] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the first trim panel 1 has a partial frame 3 on both sides along the third direction. The area between the partial frames 3 on both sides along the third direction of the first trim panel 1 forms a second mounting part 12 of the first trim panel. The sheet metal frame 5 forms a second mounting position 52 of the sheet metal. The second mounting part 12 of the first trim panel is snapped into the second mounting position 52 of the sheet metal.

[0086] When the first trim panel 1 is provided with partial frame 3 on both sides along the third direction, the first trim panel 1 can be well fixed to the sheet metal frame 5 along both sides along the third direction. However, in order to further ensure the overall installation firmness of the first trim panel 1, a second mounting part 12 of the first trim panel is formed in the area between the partial frame 3 of the first trim panel 1 on both sides along the third direction. The sheet metal frame 5 is provided with a second mounting position 52. The first trim panel 12 is snapped into the second mounting position 52, which can further ensure the connection effect between the first trim panel 1 and the sheet metal frame 5 and reduce the degree of deformation.

[0087] Specifically, the second mounting part 12 of the first decorative panel can be a cross pin structure, and the second mounting position 52 of the sheet metal can be a socket structure that facilitates the insertion of the cross pin.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first decorative panel 1 is integrally injection molded and is detachably connected to the sheet metal frame 5 through the second mounting part 12 of the first decorative panel.

[0089] The area between the partial skeletons 3 of the first trim panel 1 located on both sides along the third direction is defined as the main body area of ​​the first trim panel. The two ends of the main body area of ​​the first trim panel are further connected to the sheet metal frame 5 by bolts to improve the firmness and reduce thermal expansion.

[0090] Additionally, sealing foam is provided between the first trim panel 1 and the sheet metal frame 5 to improve sealing and prevent leakage of the internal structure. The location of the sealing foam can be determined based on the water flow path determined by simulation experiments, and then the sealing foam can be placed at the location through which the water flows.

[0091] The first decorative panel 1 is connected to the second mounting part 12 of the sheet metal by snap-fitting. Utilizing the 3-2-1 positioning principle, six degrees of freedom are achieved, ensuring the first decorative panel 1 is securely fixed and meeting the requirements for assembly repeatability and stability. It should be noted that the 3-2-1 positioning principle is a basic rule for determining the position of parts, mainly used for the positioning of rigid bodies. This principle restricts the six degrees of freedom of the part through three references, ensuring the stable position of the part in space.

[0092] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the first trim panel 1 has a first trim panel first mounting portion 11, and the taillight 6 has a taillight first mounting position 61. The first trim panel first mounting portion 11 and the taillight first mounting position 61 are snap-fitted together.

[0093] By connecting the first mounting part 11 of the first trim panel with the first mounting position 61 of the taillight, the integrated design of the first trim panel 1 and the taillight 6 can be realized, which can shorten the size chain and reduce the later matching cycle and cost.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 11 of the first trim panel can be a buckle, and the first mounting position 61 of the taillight can be a slot. The two are engaged to facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0095] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the first trim panel 1 has a first trim panel limiting part 13 formed at one end near the taillight 6 along the second direction, and the taillight 6 has a taillight limiting assembly part 63. When the first trim panel first mounting part 11 and the taillight first mounting position 61 are in a snap-fit ​​state, the first trim panel limiting part 13 is adapted to limit the taillight limiting assembly part 63 along the first direction.

[0096] By forming a first trim panel limiting portion 13 at one end of the first trim panel 1 near the taillight 6 along the second direction, and a corresponding taillight limiting assembly portion 63 on the taillight 6, when the first trim panel first mounting portion 11 and the taillight first mounting position 61 are in a snap-fit ​​state, the first trim panel limiting portion 13 can limit the taillight limiting assembly portion 63 along the first direction, thereby ensuring the limiting of the taillight 6 by the first trim panel 1. Furthermore, the first trim panel limiting portion 13 limits the taillight limiting assembly portion 63 by mutual abutment, ensuring a tight fit and reducing gaps. Moreover, when the second direction is the vehicle height direction, the first trim panel first mounting portion 11 extends downwards, and the taillight first mounting position 61 extends upwards; when the two are tightly fitted together, the waterproof effect is improved, reducing the intrusion of rainwater.

[0097] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 As shown, the tailgate assembly also includes: a second trim panel partial frame 9, which is disposed on at least one side of the second trim panel 8 along a third direction; the second trim panel partial frame 9 is fixedly connected to the sheet metal frame 5.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second decorative panel 8 and the partial skeleton of the second decorative panel 9 are connected by structural adhesive.

[0099] A photo-taking area is formed in the middle of the second trim panel 8. Optionally, a partial frame 9 of the second trim panel is set on both sides of the second trim panel 8.

[0100] The second decorative panel's partial skeleton 9 and the sheet metal frame 5 can be fixedly connected by bolts to prevent deformation at high and low temperatures and improve sturdiness.

[0101] By providing a partial skeleton 9 for the second trim panel 8 along at least one side in a third direction, it is possible to avoid setting a skeleton structure on the entire surface of the second trim panel 8, making it easier to make the second trim panel 8 into a single-layer panel, thereby achieving weight reduction and cost reduction. Compared with the traditional full-skeleton structure, the combination of the second trim panel 8 and the partial skeleton 9 can reduce the weight by about 35%.

[0102] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 , Figure 12 As shown, the second trim panel 8 is provided with a second trim panel partial frame 9 on both sides along the third direction. The area between the second trim panel partial frames 9 on both sides along the third direction forms a second trim panel fitting 82. The second trim panel fitting 82 is fixedly connected to the sheet metal frame 5 via the second fitting 42.

[0103] The second trim panel assembly 82 is fixedly connected to the sheet metal frame 5 via a second assembly 42, which can specifically be a cross pin. Alternatively, the second trim panel 8 and the sheet metal frame 5 can also be fixedly connected by screws to meet the requirements of assembly repeatability and stability.

[0104] By fixing the second trim panel 82 to the sheet metal frame 5 via the second trim panel 42, the connection effect between the second trim panel 8 and the sheet metal frame 5 can be further guaranteed, and the degree of deformation can be reduced.

[0105] The area between the second trim panel 8 and the second trim panel partial skeleton 9 located on both sides along the third direction is defined as the main body area of ​​the second trim panel. The two ends of the main body area of ​​the second trim panel are further connected to the sheet metal frame 5 by bolts to improve the firmness and reduce thermal expansion.

[0106] Additionally, sealing foam is installed between the second trim panel 8 and the sheet metal frame 5 to improve sealing and prevent leakage of the internal structure. The placement of the sealing foam can be determined based on simulation experiments to follow the water flow path, and then the sealing foam can be placed where the water flows. Furthermore, the sealing foam between the second trim panel 8 and the sheet metal frame 5 can also prevent rattling noise when the rear door is opened or closed.

[0107] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 11 As shown, the connecting bracket 7 has a bracket mounting part 73, and the sheet metal frame 5 has a sheet metal third mounting position 53. The bracket mounting part 73 and the sheet metal third mounting position 53 are fixedly connected via a third assembly part 43.

[0108] The third mounting component 43 can be a screw. By fixing the connecting bracket 7 to the sheet metal frame 5, the connecting bracket 7 can serve as a base to support the second trim panel 8, facilitating various shapes for the second trim panel 8. Furthermore, the connecting bracket 7 also supports the taillight 6, improving the stability of the taillight 6's installation.

[0109] In some embodiments, a bracket limiting groove 71 is formed at one end of the connecting bracket 7 near the taillight 6 along the second direction;

[0110] The second trim panel 8 has a second trim panel limiting member 81 formed at one end near the taillight 6 along the second direction. The second trim panel limiting member 81 is adapted to extend into the bracket limiting slot 71 along the first direction.

[0111] By extending the second trim panel limiting member 81 into the bracket limiting slot 71 along the first direction, the bracket limiting slot 71 can be used to lock and limit the second trim panel 8, thereby reducing the deformation of the second trim panel 8 and reducing the generation of assembly gaps.

[0112] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a vehicle, including: a vehicle body, and a tailgate assembly as described above mounted on the vehicle body.

[0113] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
