Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck component manufacturing technology, specifically to a truck all-aluminum alloy tailgate structure. Background Technology

[0002] A truck tailgate, also known as a truck lifting tailgate, is a hydraulic lifting and unloading device installed at the rear of a truck. It eliminates the need to rely on forklifts or other handling equipment for loading and unloading goods, allowing for convenient and quick loading and unloading anytime, anywhere. The lifting and lowering of the tailgate is typically controlled by a hydraulic cylinder.

[0003] Existing truck tailgates are typically made of steel, which has the following disadvantages: 1. Heavy weight: The tailgate of a medium-sized truck usually weighs over 100kg, increasing the truck's weight and the load on the hydraulic cylinder driving the tailgate, thus increasing energy consumption. 2. Prone to corrosion: The surface coating of steel truck tailgates wears off quickly, and after exposure to wind and rain, it rusts rapidly, affecting the normal use and appearance of the tailgate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an all-aluminum alloy tailgate structure for trucks, which has advantages such as light overall weight, good anti-slip effect, high strength of connection nodes with the vehicle body, and resistance to deformation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A truck all-aluminum alloy tailgate structure is provided, the tailgate is composed of several transverse bottom plates connected together, the rear end of the bottom plate is connected to the rear tailgate, the front end of the bottom plate is connected to the front side beam, the front side beam is made of triangular cross-section aluminum profile and is connected to the hydraulic linkage of the vehicle; the protruding edge of the front side beam is connected to the rear of the truck through a hinge.

[0007] The aluminum alloy tailgate is entirely assembled and fixed from aluminum alloy profiles. Utilizing the advantages of lightweight and high rigidity of multi-cavity aluminum profiles, the overall weight of the truck tailgate is significantly reduced without changing the rigidity and strength.

[0008] The bottom of the tailplate is provided with several reinforcing plates, which are wedge-shaped and gradually thin towards the tail. The wedge-shaped reinforcing plates are fixed to the bottom plate by welding to enhance the rigidity of the entire bottom of the tailplate and improve its load-bearing capacity.

[0009] The inner cavity of the front beam is provided with a reinforcing block groove in the direction of the hydraulic connecting rod. The reinforcing block is embedded in the groove. Threaded holes and smooth holes are machined on the reinforcing block. Matching through holes are machined on the outer wall of the front beam. Bolts are inserted into the through holes and threaded holes and engaged. The ends of the bolts are anchored with nuts. Rivets are inserted into the through holes and smooth holes and riveted.

[0010] The critical stress points of the hydraulic linkage and tailplate are all loaded on the front beam, making the front beam a key area for design. Aluminum alloy has a lower modulus of elasticity than steel, making it more susceptible to shear failure. Therefore, local reinforcement is required at bolted connection points. This is achieved by embedding reinforcing blocks within the grooves, enhancing the strength of the connection points. Furthermore, the reinforcing components are concealed within the profile cavity, preserving the product's appearance.

[0011] The car's hydraulic cylinders are connected to the front beam via the panel, thereby enabling the hydraulic cylinders to drive the rotation of the entire tailgate.

[0012] The bottom of the rear tailgate has horizontal anti-slip grooves. Their function is to increase the friction when the rear tailgate contacts the ground.

[0013] The bottom plate has side panels at both ends of the profile. The side panels seal the ends of the cavity to prevent foreign objects from entering the cavity and improve the appearance.

[0014] The front beam profile is sealed at both ends with triangular guard plates. This prevents foreign objects from entering the cavity and improves the appearance.

[0015] The adjacent bottom plates, the bottom plate and the rear tail plate, and the bottom plate and the front side beam are connected by a hook-and-groove structure of the profiles. The profiles that are hooked together end to end are tightly interlocked, which improves the connection strength of the various components of the tail plate.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. All components of this utility model are made of aluminum alloy extruded profiles, which have the characteristics of light weight. According to calculations, the traditional steel tailgate weighs 101kg, while the utility model weighs 80.72kg, which is a significant weight reduction effect.

[0018] 2. This utility model strengthens the key connection points locally, making the connection node between the tail plate and the hydraulic linkage more robust, less prone to damage, and with an increased lifespan.

[0019] 3. This utility model has an attractive appearance and is easy to clean. Attached Figure Description
