Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5A new energy pure electric rear door hinge includes a hinge base 1 and a hinge rod 2. The hinge rod 2 is composed of a straight section rod 21, a bent section rod 22 and an inclined section rod 23. The hinge rod 2 is formed by extrusion through a die-casting mold. The surface of the straight section rod 21 is provided with a first locking adjustment port 3. One end of the bent section rod 22 is provided with a hinge groove 4. The inner wall of the hinge groove 4 is rotatably connected to the cylindrical surface of one end of the hinge base 1. Both ends of the inner wall of the hinge groove 4 are provided with pin holes 5. The inner wall of the pin hole 5 is slidably inserted with a pin 6 through a key strip. The arc surface of the middle part of the pin 6 is rotatably connected to the cylindrical inner wall of one end of the hinge base 1. One end of the pin 6 is engaged with a retaining spring 7, which is located on one side of the hinge base 1.
[0025] Specifically, this is achieved by combining the straight section rod 21, the bent section rod 22, and the inclined section rod 23, making the hinge structure more compact, which helps reduce the overall vehicle weight and improve energy efficiency; the use of die-casting molds for extrusion molding ensures the strength and rigidity of the hinge rod 2, improving the safety and service life of the rear hatch; the first locking adjustment port 3 on the surface of the straight section rod 21 makes the installation and adjustment of the hinge more convenient, which helps improve production efficiency.
[0026] The other end of the hinge seat 1 is provided with a second locking adjustment port 8. The pin 6 is provided with a lubrication mechanism, which realizes the lubrication action of the pin 6. The lubrication mechanism includes a lubrication storage cavity 9 opened inside the pin 6. The lubrication storage cavity 9 is provided with lubricating oil. One end of the inner wall of the lubrication storage cavity 9 is provided with an oil filling hole 10. One end of the oil filling hole 10 passes through and extends to one end of the pin 6.
[0027] Specifically, the second locking adjustment port 8 provides another adjustment point, allowing for more precise adjustment of the rear door's position and clearance, ensuring proper door closure and sealing performance. The lubrication mechanism inside the pin 6 provides continuous lubrication for the hinge, which helps reduce wear and extend the hinge's service life. The presence of the oil filling hole 10 makes replenishing lubricating oil to the lubrication storage chamber 9 simple and quick, without disassembling the hinge, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. Due to the lubrication mechanism, the hinge's maintenance cycle can be extended, reducing maintenance frequency.
[0028] A concealed refueling pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one end of the refueling hole 10. A first limiting ring 12 is fixedly installed on one end of the concealed refueling pipe 11. A first spring 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the first limiting ring 12. A first sealing ball 14 is fixedly installed on one end of the first spring 13. The diameter of the first sealing ball 14 is larger than the inner diameter of one end of the concealed refueling pipe 11. The arc surface of the first sealing ball 14 is sealed by the sealing ring against the inner wall of the refueling end of the concealed refueling pipe 11.
[0029] Specifically, the concealed refueling pipe 11 design makes the refueling process more discreet, does not affect the vehicle's appearance, and enhances the vehicle's aesthetics; the structural design of the first limiting ring 12 and the first sealing ball 14 can effectively prevent dust and dirt from entering the refueling pipe, keeping the lubrication system clean; the function of the first spring 13 allows the first sealing ball 14 to automatically reset after refueling, closing the refueling port and simplifying the refueling operation; the diameter of the first sealing ball 14 is larger than the inner diameter of the refueling pipe, ensuring that the sealing ball can effectively seal the refueling port during the refueling process, preventing accidental detachment or foreign objects from entering; due to the concealed design and automatic reset function of the refueling pipe, no complicated operations are required during maintenance, reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
[0030] The inner wall of the cylindrical end of the hinge seat 1 is provided with an annular groove 15, and a protrusion 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 15. The middle section of the arc surface of the pin 6 is provided with a lubrication outlet hole 17, and one end of the lubrication outlet hole 17 is fixedly connected to the lubrication storage cavity 9.
[0031] Specifically, the protrusion 16 in the annular groove 15 mates with the arc surface of the pin 6, which can evenly guide the lubricating oil in the lubrication storage cavity 9 to the contact surface between the pin 6 and the hinge seat 1 when the pin 6 rotates, ensuring the uniformity of lubrication; through the design of the lubrication outlet hole 17, the lubricating oil can flow directly to the contact area between the pin 6 and the hinge seat 1, enhancing the lubrication effect and improving the wear resistance and service life of the hinge.
[0032] A lubrication tube 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the lubrication outlet hole 17, and the oil outlet end of the lubrication tube 18 corresponds to the inner wall of the annular groove 15.
[0033] Specifically, the presence of the lubrication pipe 18 ensures that the lubricating oil can flow directly from the lubrication storage cavity 9 to the annular groove 15, achieving directional lubrication and improving lubrication efficiency. Due to the precise lubrication of the lubrication pipe 18, the wear between the pin 6 and the hinge seat 1 is reduced, extending the service life of the hinge.
[0034] A second limiting ring 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the lubrication tube 18. A second spring 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the second limiting ring 19. A second sealing ball 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the second spring 20. The arc surface of the second sealing ball 201 is in contact with the surface of the protrusion 16.
[0035] Specifically, the second spring 20 applies pressure to the second sealing ball 201, ensuring the contact pressure between the sealing ball and the lubrication pipe 18 while the pin 6 is not rotating, thus maintaining the sealing effect. When the rear hatch hinges open, the protrusion 16 pushes the second sealing ball 201 to release the seal, thereby achieving the effect of lubricating oil flowing out for lubrication.
[0036] The diameter of the second sealing ball 201 is larger than the inner diameter of the top end of the lubrication tube 18, and the arc surface of the second sealing ball 201 is sealed by the sealing ring against the inner wall of the top end of the lubrication tube 18.
[0037] Specifically, since the diameter of the second sealing ball 201 is larger than the inner diameter of the top of the lubrication tube 18, a tighter seal can be formed when squeezed by the sealing ring, effectively preventing lubricating oil leakage.
[0038] This project designs and develops a portable, detachable, quick-installation, and highly reliable rear door hinge that enables the hatchback-style opening of the rear door of buses, avoiding a series of problems caused by scratches, bumps, and space occupation when opening the rear door. The rear door hinge structure, tailor-made for new energy buses, features a novel design, smooth and flexible rotation, and convenient opening, achieving a hatchback-style rear door opening method. The design is stylish, aesthetically pleasing, practical, and meets the overall vehicle safety performance requirements, ensuring vehicle safety and comfort.
[0039] First, the precise lubrication system design ensures continuous lubrication of the hinge, significantly reducing wear, extending service life, and improving hinge reliability. Second, the combination of sealing balls and sealing rings provides excellent sealing performance, effectively preventing lubricant leakage, keeping the system clean, and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, this design improves environmental adaptability while enhancing the user experience, reducing noise and vibration, and maintaining the vehicle's aesthetics. Ultimately, this hinge design not only improves the overall performance of electric vehicles but also reduces energy consumption and maintenance frequency, providing users with a safer, more comfortable, and economical driving experience.
[0040] Working principle: When the rear hatch of the electric vehicle needs to be opened or closed, the pin 6 in the control hinge rod 2 is rotated. Since the pin 6 is slidably inserted into the pin hole 5 through a key strip, the rotation of the pin 6 causes the hinge rod 2 to rotate around the cylindrical surface of one end of the hinge seat 1. During this process, the first locking adjustment port 3 of the straight segment rod 21 interacts with the locking mechanism on the rear hatch to achieve locking and unlocking of the door.
[0041] The design of the bent section 22 and inclined section 23 of the hinge rod 2 allows the rear hatch to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory during opening and closing, reducing interference between the door and the vehicle body. Simultaneously, the retaining spring 7 within the hinge slot 4 ensures that the pin 6 will not dislodge during rotation, guaranteeing the hinge's stability and safety. During hinge rotation, the built-in lubrication system presses against the protrusion 16 inside the hinge seat 1, releasing the lubrication control seal and allowing lubricating oil to flow onto the surface of the pin 6, reducing friction and wear and ensuring the hinge maintains good performance over long-term use. Through this working principle, this new energy pure electric rear hatch hinge achieves convenient, safe, and low-noise opening and closing operations.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
