Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of this application relate to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a door sill cover assembly, door sill assembly, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Some vehicle door sills are equipped with locks for locking the door. Taking the rear door sill as an example, the rear door sill has a receiving cavity with an opening on the top side. A latch is installed inside the receiving cavity, and the latch hook on the tailgate can extend into the receiving cavity and connect with the latch to lock the tailgate.

[0003] In related technologies, to improve aesthetics, a cover plate is installed at the door sill. This cover plate conceals the opening of the receiving cavity when the tailgate is open. The cover plate has clearance holes; during tailgate closing, the cover plate can rotate relative to the door sill to open the opening, at which point the latch can pass through the clearance holes and connect to the tailgate. However, in this design, there is a possibility of the tailgate colliding with the cover plate during closing, which could scratch or even deform the cover plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a sill cover assembly, sill assembly, and vehicle that reduce the possibility of a collision between the tailgate and the cover.

[0006] In some embodiments, the guide includes a main body segment and a reversing segment, the main body segment extending along a first direction perpendicular to the orientation of the opening, the reversing segment being connected to one end of the main body segment along the first direction and extending in a direction away from the opening, and the cover plate being accessible from the main body segment to the reversing segment.

[0007] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the cover plate is configured as a bendable structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cover plate includes rigid material segments and flexible material segments alternately arranged along the extension direction of the guide; or, the cover plate includes thickened segments and thinned segments alternately arranged along the extension direction of the guide, wherein the thickened segments and the thinned segments are made of the same material.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive member includes a motor and a traction member, the traction member being connected to the cover plate, and the motor being capable of driving the traction member to move, thereby causing the cover plate to move along the guide member.

[0010] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a winding wheel, the traction member is configured as a traction line, the traction line is wound around the winding wheel, and both ends of the traction line are connected to the cover plate, and the output end of the motor is connected to the winding wheel to drive the winding wheel to rotate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the drive member includes a reversing wheel, the reversing wheel is disposed on at least one side of the guide member in the extension direction, and the traction line is wound around the reversing wheel.

[0012] In some embodiments, the guide includes two guides spaced apart along a second direction, each guide having a groove that is open on one side of the guide toward the other guide along the second direction and on opposite sides along the extension direction of the guide, and the cover plate is disposed in the two grooves at opposite ends along the second direction.

[0033] This application provides a door sill cover assembly, referring to... Figures 1-7 The threshold cover assembly in this application embodiment includes a guide, a cover, and a drive.

[0034] Guide component 1 is connected to sill 200, see reference. Figures 1-3 The threshold 200 has a receiving cavity 200a for accommodating the lock body 300, and the receiving cavity 200a has an opening 200b.

[0035] Here, threshold 200 can refer to any threshold of a vehicle that has the above structure, such as the rear threshold of a vehicle.

[0036] As an example, refer to Figures 2-5 The threshold 200 includes a first wall 201 and a second wall 202 disposed opposite to each other. The first wall 201 and the second wall 202 enclose a receiving cavity 200a. The lock body 300 is disposed on the second wall 202, and the opening 200b is formed on the first wall 201. Here, the specific structural form of the first wall 201 and the second wall 202 is not limited. Taking the tail threshold 200 as an example, the first wall 201 is the top wall of the tail threshold 200, and the second wall 202 is the top wall of the tail threshold 200.

[0037] In the above example, the guide 1 can be specifically connected to the side of the first wall 201 facing the second wall 202, that is, at least a portion of the guide 1 is located within the receiving cavity 200a. In this way, the guide 1 is not exposed to the external view, improving the aesthetics. Of course, in the above example, the guide 1 can also be connected to the side of the first wall 201 away from the second wall 202.

[0038] The specific structural form of the guide component 1 is not limited, such as a slide rail structure, a slide groove 1a structure, etc. The number of guide components 1 can be one or more, and there is no restriction on this.

[0039] The cover plate 2 and the guide member 1 are in sliding fit. The specific structural form of the cover plate 2 is not limited. The guide member 1 and the cover plate 2 can be in sliding fit along a straight line, or in sliding fit along a curve or a broken line. There are no restrictions on this.

[0040] In embodiments where the guide member 1 and the cover plate 2 slide in a straight line, the cover plate 2 can be a rigid structure. In embodiments where the guide member 1 and the cover plate 2 slide in a curved or zigzag direction, for example... Figures 2-7 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover plate 2 needs to bend during the sliding process to change the sliding direction. That is, the cover plate 2 should be set as a bendable structure. The specific structural form of the cover plate 2 in this embodiment will be described in more detail below, and will not be repeated here.

[0041] The driving member 3 is used to drive the cover plate 2 to move along the guide member 1 between the first position and the second position, thereby opening or closing the opening 200b of the threshold 200. The specific structure of the driving member 3 is not limited, as long as it can drive the cover plate 2 to slide from the first position to the second position and from the second position to the first position.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the first position, the cover plate 2 closes the opening 200b. Specifically, "the cover plate 2 closing the opening 200b" means that, when projected orthographically along the orientation of the opening 200b, the projection of the cover plate 2 covers the projection of the opening 200b. Taking the tailgate sill 200 as an example, when the tailgate is open, the drive unit 3 can drive the cover plate 2 to move along the guide member 1 to the aforementioned first position, thereby closing the opening 200b and improving the aesthetics from the outside. Here, "orientation of the opening 200b" specifically refers to the direction in which the normal vector of the opening 200b points.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the second position, the cover plate 2 at least partially opens the opening 200b, thereby exposing the lock body 300 to the opening 200b. Specifically, exposing the lock body 300 to the opening 200b means that, in a projection along the orientation of the opening 200b, the projection of the opening 200b overlaps the projection of the lock body 300, and the projection of the cover plate 2 and the projection of the lock body 300 are offset from each other. Taking the tailgate sill 200 as an example, when the tailgate needs to be closed, the drive member 3 can drive the cover plate 2 to move along the guide member 1 to the aforementioned second position, thereby allowing the lock hook on the tailgate to enter the receiving cavity 200a through the opening 200b and connect with the lock body 300, thus locking the tailgate.

[0044] In practical use, the aforementioned drive unit 3 can communicate with the vehicle's control system and / or the user's mobile terminal (e.g., mobile phone, tablet computer, etc.). Upon receiving a tailgate closing command, the drive unit 3 can drive the cover plate 2 from the first position to the second position. Upon receiving a tailgate opening command, the drive unit 3 can drive the cover plate 2 from the second position to the first position. Alternatively, the drive unit 3 can be electrically connected to a sensor used to detect the tailgate opening status. When the tailgate is detected to be open, the drive unit 3 can drive the cover plate 2 from the second position to the first position. When the tailgate is detected to be closing, the drive unit 3 can drive the cover plate 2 from the first position to the second position.

[0045] As mentioned above, in the relevant technology, the cover plate opens the opening by flipping into the receiving cavity and allows the lock body to pass through the clearance hole on it. In this mode of movement, when the tailgate is closed, the cover plate is between the tailgate and the lock body. Even if the cover plate is flipped in advance before the tailgate is closed by the drive structure, there is still a possibility that the tailgate and the cover plate will collide, especially when the user closes the tailgate forcefully. The collision between the tailgate and the cover plate may cause scratches or even deformation of the cover plate, which reduces the aesthetics and reliability of the cover plate.

[0046] In the sill cover assembly of this application embodiment, the driving member 3 can drive the cover 2 to slide between the first position and the second position to open or close the opening 200b on the sill 200. This arrangement means that the cover 2 is no longer located between the lock body 300 and the door when it is in the second position, which can reduce the possibility of collision between the door and the cover 2 during the opening and closing process, thereby reducing the possibility of scratches and deformation of the cover 2 during use, and improving the aesthetics and reliability of use.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2-7 The guide 1 includes a main body section 11 and a reversing section 12. The main body section 11 extends along a first direction and both ends of the main body section 11 extend beyond the opening 200b along the first direction. The reversing section 12 is connected to one end of the main body section 11 along the first direction and extends in the direction away from the opening 200b, so that the cover plate 2 can enter the reversing section 12 from the main body section 11.

[0048] The main body segment 11 extends along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the orientation of the opening 200b. Specifically, the orientation of the opening 200b refers to the direction in which the normal vector of the opening 200b points. Taking the opening 200b as a rectangular opening as an example, the first direction can be either the length or width of the opening 200b; there are no restrictions on this. This can be understood by referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the first position, most of the structure of the cover plate 2 is located in the main body section 11, thereby closing the opening 200b. Specifically, in the first position, the opposite ends of the cover plate 2 along the first direction are approximately flush with or extend beyond the opposite ends of the main body section 11 along the first direction.

[0049] In some examples, specifically, the two ends of the main body segment 11 along the first direction extend beyond the two ends of the opening 200b along the first direction. In other words, in the orthographic projection along the orientation of the opening 200b, the reversing segment 12 is offset from the opening 200b along the first direction. Thus, when the cover plate 2 is in the first position, the cover plate 2 will appear to be roughly flat when viewed from the outside, improving its aesthetics. Of course, in some other examples, at least one end of the main body segment 11 along the first direction may also be located inside the end of the opening 200b along the first direction.

[0050] The reversing segment 12 is connected to one end of the main body segment 11 along a first direction and extends in a direction away from the opening 200b. Here, the direction away from the opening 200b specifically refers to the side of the opening 200b facing away from the opening 200b. In other words, the reversing segment 12 extends towards the interior of the receiving cavity 200a. The reversing segment 12 can extend in a straight line or in an arc shape. Alternatively, the reversing segment 12 can include an arc-shaped transition segment and a straight segment, with the arc-shaped transition segment connecting the main body segment 11 and the straight segment. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific form according to actual usage requirements.

[0051] Reference Figures 2-5 The cover plate 2 can slide from the main body section 11 to the reversing section 12 from the first position, thereby moving to the second position, in which most of the structure of the main body section 11 is located on the reversing section 12 and / or on the side of the reversing section 12 away from the main body section 11, thereby opening the opening 200b.

[0052] In this embodiment, the guide member 1 is configured to include a reversing section 12, which can reduce the overall movement range of the cover plate 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the sill cover plate assembly in the receiving cavity 200a and improving the overall structural compactness of the sill 200.

[0053] Of course, in some other embodiments, the guide 1 may not include the reversing section 12, and the cover plate 2 may move linearly between the first position and the second position along the first direction. This arrangement helps to simplify the structure, but requires a relatively large space in the first direction for the cover plate 2 to move.

[0054] It is understandable that, since the reversing section 12 reverses direction relative to the main body section 11, the cover plate 2 may need to undergo some deformation when entering the reversing section 12 from the main body section 11. Therefore, in some embodiments, the cover plate 2 is configured as a bendable structure, allowing it to enter the reversing section 12 from the main body section 11. Specifically, the bendable structure refers to the cover plate 2 comprising multiple sub-parts, with adjacent sub-parts capable of relative bending. The advantage of configuring the cover plate 2 as a bendable structure is that it helps to extend the service life of the cover plate 2.

[0055] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the cover plate 2 may be configured as a flexible structure (e.g., the cover plate 2 is made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone) so that the cover plate 2 can deform and enter the reversing section 12 from the main body section 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cover plate 2 includes rigid material segments 2a and flexible material segments 2b that are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the guide member 1.

[0057] Here, rigid material segment 2a specifically refers to a structure formed by rigid materials, and flexible material segment 2b specifically refers to a structure formed by flexible materials. The specific types of rigid and flexible materials are not limited. As an example, rigid materials include, but are not limited to, metals, rigid plastics, etc., and flexible materials include, but are not limited to, rubber, silicone, etc.

[0058] The alternating arrangement of rigid material segment 2a and flexible material segment 2b specifically means that, along the extension direction of guide member 1, rigid material segment 2a connects to two adjacent flexible material segments 2b, and flexible material segment 2b connects to two adjacent rigid material segments 2a. The specific connection method between rigid material segment 2a and flexible material segment 2b is not limited, and can include bonding, welding, snap-fitting, etc.

[0059] In this embodiment, the rigid material segment 2a can serve as a skeleton to enhance the overall structural strength of the cover plate 2, while the flexible material segment 2b can deform to achieve bending of the cover plate 2.

[0060] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the cover plate 2 may include thickened sections and thinned sections alternately arranged along the extension direction of the guide member 1, the thickened sections and thinned sections being made of the same material.

[0061] Here, the difference between the thickening section and the thinning section lies in their thickness; that is, the thickness of the thinning section is less than the thickness of the thickening section. For example, the ratio of the thickness of the thinning section to the thickness of the thickening section is 0.1-0.8, such as 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, etc. The specific thickness of the thinning section and the thickening section can be determined by the materials actually selected by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] Similar to the rigid material segment 2a and the flexible material segment 2b mentioned above, the thickened segment has relatively high structural strength, thus serving as a skeleton to enhance the overall structural strength of the cover plate 2. The thinned segment, due to its thinness, has better toughness and can deform to achieve bending of the cover plate 2. In comparison, the cover plate 2 including both rigid material segment 2a and flexible material segment 2b helps to improve the structural strength of the cover plate 2, while the cover plate 2 including both thickened and thinned segments helps to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce costs.

[0063] It should be noted that the structure of the cover plate 2 is not limited to the two mentioned above. For example, the cover plate 2 can also be made of a flexible material plate with uniform thickness, or the cover plate 2 can include multiple rigid components, with adjacent rigid components connected by hinges, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2-7 The driving component 3 specifically includes a motor 31 and a traction component 32. The traction component 32 is connected to the cover plate 2. The motor 31 can drive the traction component 32 to move, thereby causing the cover plate 2 to move along the guide component 1.

[0065] The specific structural form of the traction component 32 is not limited; it can be a flexible traction line, a rigid traction rod, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific form according to actual usage requirements.

[0066] As an example, the cover plate 2 may have a middle region and two end regions. Along the extending direction of the guide member 1, the two end regions are of equal length, and the length ratio of the middle region to the end regions is 0.5-10. The traction member 32 may be connected to either of these end regions. The traction member 32 may be connected to the end face of the end region or to the surface of the end region along the thickness direction of the cover plate 2; there is no limitation in this regard. The advantage of connecting the traction member 32 to the end region is that it helps reduce the possibility of interference between the traction member 32 and components such as the guide member 1, and improves the stress distribution of the cover plate 2 during movement, reducing the possibility of the cover plate 2 tilting or detaching from the guide member 1 and / or generating significant friction with the guide member 1 during movement.

[0067] In this embodiment, this driving method helps simplify the structure of the driving component 3 and improves the flexibility of the driving component 3's placement, allowing the driving component 3 to be placed either on or near the guide component 1. In some other embodiments, the driving component 3 can also adopt other structural forms, such as pulleys, sliders, conveyor belts, etc., that slide with the motor 31 and the guide component 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2-7The driving component 3 includes a winding wheel 33, the traction component 32 is configured as a traction device, the traction line is wound around the winding wheel 33, and both ends of the traction line are connected to the cover plate 2. The output end of the motor 31 is connected to the winding wheel 33 to drive the winding wheel 33 to rotate.

[0069] Here, the two ends of the traction line can be connected to any position on the cover plate 2. As an example, the two ends of the traction line can be connected to the two end regions of the cover plate 2 as described above. In some examples, the two ends of the traction line are connected to the two end faces of the cover plate 2 along the extension direction of the guide member 1.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 With the cover plate 2 in the first position, the motor 31 can drive the winding wheel 33 along... Figure 4 The cover plate 2 is moved to the second position by rotating clockwise.

[0071] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 When the cover plate 2 is in the second position, the motor 31 can drive the winding wheel 33 to rotate counterclockwise in degree 5, thereby pulling the cover plate 2 from the second position to the first position.

[0072] In this embodiment, the reciprocating motion of the cover plate 2 between the first position and the second position can be achieved by a single motor 31, which helps to reduce costs.

[0073] It should be noted that the structure of the traction member 32 is not limited to this. For example, in the embodiment where the guide member 1 includes the reversing section 12, the traction member 32 may include a winding shaft. The end of the cover plate 2 near the reversing section 12 may be connected to the winding shaft. The motor 31 can drive the winding shaft to rotate so that the cover plate 2 is wound around the winding shaft or released from the winding shaft.

[0074] For example, the driving component 3 may include two motors 31 and two traction components 32. The two traction components 32 are respectively connected to the cover plate 2, and the two motors 31 are used to drive the two traction components 32 to move, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the cover plate 2.

[0075] For example, the driving component 3 may include an elastic reset component (e.g., a spring), one end of which is connected to the cover plate 2 and the other end is fixed to another position (e.g., the threshold 200). The motor 31 can drive the traction component 32 to move the cover plate 2 from the first position to the second position. During this process, the elastic reset component accumulates elastic force, which is used to drive the cover plate 2 from the second position to the first position.

[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4-7The driving component 3 includes a reversing wheel 34. The reversing wheel 34 is disposed on at least one side of the guide component 1 along its extension direction, and the traction line is wound around the reversing wheel 34. Here, the reversing wheel 34 specifically changes the direction of movement of the traction line, such that the direction of movement of the traction line between the reversing wheel 34 and the cover plate 2 is approximately parallel to the direction of movement of the cover plate 2.

[0077] This improves the smoothness of the traction line movement and reduces the dispersion of traction force, thereby improving the movement efficiency of the cover plate 2. Furthermore, it reduces the probability of wear between the traction line and the guide 1, thus extending their service life.

[0078] In this embodiment, the reversing wheel 34 can be provided only on one side of the guide member 1 in the extending direction, or it can be provided on both sides; there is no limitation on this. In a specific embodiment, refer to... Figures 4-7 The winding wheel 33 is located on one side of the guide member 1 in the extension direction, for example, on the side of the reversing section 12 away from the main body section 11, while the winding wheel 33 is located on the other side of the guide member 1 in the extension direction, for example, on the side of the main body section 11 away from the reversing section 12. In this way, only one reversing wheel 34 is needed to achieve smooth movement of the traction lines at both ends of the cover plate 2, thereby reducing costs.

[0079] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide 1 includes two guides 1 spaced apart along a second direction. The second direction, the first direction and the orientation of the opening 200b are perpendicular to each other. The guide 1 has a groove 1a.
