Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive engineering technology, specifically to a rear structure of a vehicle body, a vehicle body, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Existing sedans and SUVs typically feature a liftgate design, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the liftgate 100 is hinged to the vehicle body 200, and the trunk is opened by rotating the liftgate 100 upwards. Since the liftgate 100 needs to flip upwards to open, it typically requires a large vertical space. To ensure the liftgate 100 can open fully, the height of the trunk's interior is compressed, resulting in limited vertical space (height direction) and a reduction in the trunk's effective volume.
[0003] As people's demand for self-driving tours and outdoor leisure activities (such as camping) increases, the existing liftgate models have limited loading capacity for large items (such as large suitcases and tents), which can no longer meet people's needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this application is to provide a rear structure for a vehicle body to solve the technical problem that existing vehicles with upward-opening tailgates cannot meet people's needs due to limited luggage space and loading capacity; another objective is to provide a vehicle body; and a third objective is to provide a vehicle.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0006] A rear structure of a vehicle body, comprising:
[0007] Sunroof assembly, the sunroof assembly including a slidably disposed rear sunroof glass assembly;
[0008] Side panel assembly, the side panel assembly being disposed on both sides of the sunroof assembly, the rear glass assembly of the sunroof being movable relative to the side panel assembly;
[0009] The double-opening tailgate assembly includes a left tailgate assembly and a right tailgate assembly, which are rotatably connected to the side panel assemblies on the left and right sides of the vehicle body, respectively; the top of the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly are provided with mating parts for sealing and abutting against the rear glass assembly of the sunroof.
[0010] Based on the aforementioned technical means, since both the left and right tailgate assemblies are equipped with mating parts at their tops for sealing and abutting with the sunroof rear glass assembly, when the sunroof rear glass assembly slides to the rear of the vehicle and seals against the mating parts, the vehicle can be either an SUV or a sedan. When the sunroof rear glass assembly slides forward, the top of the luggage area is opened, at which point the vehicle transforms into a pickup truck, making the top of the luggage area an open space. This allows for the expansion of the luggage area's space, providing greater loading capacity and meeting the needs of people loading large items. It can also meet the needs of users for self-driving tours, outdoor leisure, and other activities.
[0011] Furthermore, the mating part is provided with a buffer assembly, which is used to abut against the tail end of the sunroof rear glass assembly.
[0012] According to the above technical means, the buffer component is used to abut against the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component, which can buffer the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component and avoid rigid contact between the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component and the mating part, thereby preventing damage to the sunroof rear glass component.
[0013] Furthermore, a detection component is provided at the mating part to detect the mating status of the sunroof rear glass assembly and the double-opening tailgate assembly.
[0014] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the detection component can be connected to the vehicle controller signal, transmit the luggage area status to the user through the vehicle's central control screen, and control the sunroof movement mechanism through the detection signal of the detection component, thereby realizing the start-stop control and movement speed adjustment of the sunroof rear glass component.
[0015] Furthermore, the side panel assembly is provided with a plurality of hinge assemblies in sequence along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the hinge assemblies are used to connect with the left tailgate assembly or the right tailgate assembly.
[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical means, multi-point connection and support can be achieved for the left and right tailgate assemblies, enabling more even distribution of the weight and external forces on either assembly. This multi-point hinge structure is less prone to deformation or damage during long-term use, exhibiting high reliability and stability.
[0017] Furthermore, both the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly include a tailgate body and a sealing assembly, wherein the sealing assembly extends circumferentially along the tailgate body.
[0018] According to the above technical means, the sealing component extends circumferentially along the tailgate body. When the rear glass component of the sunroof abuts against the mating part, the sealing component arranged circumferentially along the tailgate body can be used to achieve sealing between the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly, between the split tailgate assembly and the rear glass component of the sunroof, and between the split tailgate assembly and the rear opening of the luggage area. This can prevent rainwater, dust, etc. from entering the luggage area and the interior of the passenger area, and reduce the noise inside the vehicle.
[0019] Furthermore, both the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly include a strut assembly, which is connected to the tailgate body and the side panel assembly, respectively.
[0020] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the strut assembly is connected to the main body of the tailgate and the side panel assembly respectively, so as to fix the position of the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly when they are opened, which can prevent the tailgate from closing accidentally or shaking violently, and improve the safety of luggage handling.
[0021] Furthermore, the left tailgate assembly is provided with a first locking component, and the right tailgate assembly is provided with a second locking component. The first locking component and the second locking component are connected to realize the locking between the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly.
[0022] According to the above technical means, the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly are locked by connecting the first locking component and the second locking component. When the vehicle is bumpy during driving, the first locking component and the second locking component can make the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly form a stable connection, which can prevent items from falling out of the luggage area.
[0023] Furthermore, the rear structure of the vehicle body also includes a lower body assembly, on which a third locking component is provided, and on which a fourth locking component is provided on the left tailgate assembly and / or the right tailgate assembly. The third locking component and the fourth locking component are connected to achieve locking between the split tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly.
[0024] According to the above technical means, the locking between the double-opening tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly is achieved by connecting the third locking component and the fourth locking component, which can further strengthen the connection between the double-opening tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly and improve the stability of the tailgate during driving.
[0025] Furthermore, the left tailgate assembly is provided with a first handle assembly and a fourth locking assembly. The first handle assembly drives the fourth locking assembly to move, thereby releasing the lock between the split tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly.
[0026] The right tailgate assembly is provided with a second handle assembly, which drives the second locking assembly to move, thereby releasing the lock between the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly.
[0027] Based on the above technical means, the right tailgate assembly can be opened first through the second handle assembly, and then the left tailgate assembly can be opened through the first handle assembly. The double-opening tailgate assembly can be opened directly by turning the handle assembly with both hands, which is more convenient than opening the tailgate of a traditional pickup truck.
[0028] A vehicle body includes the aforementioned rear structure and a partition assembly disposed in the middle of the vehicle body for separating the passenger area from the luggage area.
[0029] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the partition assembly is located in the middle of the vehicle body to separate the passenger area from the luggage area. When the vehicle body is transformed into a pickup truck body, it can enhance the privacy of the passenger area and prevent external noise from entering the passenger area.
[0030] A vehicle comprising the aforementioned body.
[0031] Based on the aforementioned technical means, when the rear window assembly slides towards the front of the vehicle, the vehicle transforms into pickup truck mode, featuring an open luggage area for loading large items, facilitating outdoor activities. When the rear window assembly slides towards the rear of the vehicle and engages with the tailgate assembly, the vehicle reverts to SUV or sedan mode, reducing wind resistance and noise during driving.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0033] (1) This application allows the rear of the vehicle to change shape by sliding the rear glass component of the sunroof relative to the mating parts of the left tailgate assembly and the right tailgate assembly. When the rear glass component of the sunroof slides forward, the top of the luggage area is opened, and the vehicle changes to a pickup truck model, making the top of the luggage area an open space, which can realize the space expansion of the luggage area and have a greater loading capacity. When the rear glass component of the sunroof slides to the rear of the vehicle and seals against the mating part, the vehicle can be an SUV model or a sedan model.
[0034] (2) This application, by combining the sunroof rear glass assembly with the double-opening tailgate assembly, not only enables the conversion of vehicle models and the expansion of luggage area space, but also improves the convenience of taking out items and the user getting in and out of the luggage area by opening and closing the double-opening tailgate assembly.

[0051] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0052] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0053] Please see Figures 2 to 9 This application proposes a rear structure for a vehicle body, including a sunroof assembly 1, a side panel assembly 2, and a split-opening tailgate assembly. The sunroof assembly 1 includes a slidingly mounted rear sunroof glass component 11. The side panel assembly 2 is located on both sides of the sunroof assembly 1 and can be used to support the sunroof assembly 1. It also acts as a limiter on both sides of the luggage compartment to prevent items inside the luggage compartment from falling outside the vehicle. The rear sunroof glass component 11 can move relative to the side panel assembly 2, allowing it to move back and forth at the rear of the vehicle body, thereby opening and closing the top of the luggage compartment and expanding the luggage compartment space. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0054] The split-opening tailgate assembly includes a left tailgate assembly 3 and a right tailgate assembly 4, which are rotatably connected to the side panel assemblies 2 on the left and right sides of the vehicle body, respectively. The top of both the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 is provided with a mating part for sealing and abutting with the rear sunroof glass assembly 11. When the rear sunroof glass assembly 11 slides to the rear of the vehicle body and seals and abuts with the mating part, the vehicle can be an SUV or a sedan. When the rear sunroof glass assembly 11 slides forward, the top of the luggage area is opened, and the vehicle transforms into a pickup truck, making the top of the luggage area an open space. This allows for the expansion of the luggage area space, providing greater loading capacity and meeting the needs of people loading large items. It can also meet the needs of users for self-driving tours, outdoor leisure, and other activities.
[0055] It should be noted that, because this application uses a split-opening tailgate assembly, when the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate are opened, they open to the left and right sides respectively. Only a certain amount of clearance is needed at the rear of the vehicle, and the tailgate opening space requirement is relatively small. Furthermore, after the split-opening tailgate assembly is opened, the opening width of the luggage area at the rear of the vehicle is larger, allowing people and goods to enter and exit more easily. For wider items, such as large suitcases and tents, the split-opening tailgate structure provides a more spacious loading and unloading passage, reducing the risk of goods colliding with the tailgate edges.
[0056] Compared to existing downward-folding tailgates, which require sufficient space behind the vehicle to open and increase the distance between the user and the luggage compartment opening, making loading and unloading difficult and hindering access to items on the inside of the luggage compartment (near the front of the vehicle), and requiring users to step over the tailgate to access items, thus inconvenient, to avoid it collapsing from prolonged foot pressure, this presents a solution. The sunroof rear glass assembly 11, in conjunction with the split-opening tailgate assembly, not only enables vehicle model conversion and expands the luggage compartment space but also improves the convenience of retrieving items and accessing the luggage compartment.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The sunroof assembly 1 also includes a sliding groove assembly 12, a sunroof frame 13, a sunroof front glass assembly 14, and a sunroof movement mechanism 15. The sunroof front glass assembly 14 is located in front of the sunroof rear glass assembly 11. The sunroof frame 13 connects to the side assemblies 2 on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. The sunroof front glass assembly 14 and the sliding groove assembly 12 are mounted on the sunroof frame 13. The sliding groove assembly 12 guides the sliding of the sunroof rear glass assembly 11. The sunroof movement mechanism 15 is connected to the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 and drives the rear glass assembly 11 to slide back and forth, thereby opening and closing the overhead space of the luggage compartment.
[0058] In the above embodiment, since the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 has kinetic energy during the sliding process, if the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 slides toward the mating part at a high speed and with high kinetic energy, it is easy to collide with the mating part.
[0059] To address the aforementioned issues, please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The mating part is provided with a buffer component 311, which is used to abut against the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component 11. It can buffer the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component 11 and prevent the tail end of the sunroof rear glass component 11 from making rigid contact with the mating part, thereby causing damage to the sunroof rear glass component 11.
[0060] It should be noted that the buffer assembly 311 may include components such as buffer pads, buffer airbags, or buffer strips. As long as they can absorb and buffer the kinetic energy of the rear glass assembly 11 of the sunroof, they can achieve the purpose of this application.
[0061] As a specific embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top of the left tailgate assembly 3 is provided with a first mating part 31, and the top of the right tailgate assembly 4 is provided with a second mating part 41. The first mating part 31 and the second mating part 41 have the same structure. The first mating part 31 will be used as an example for explanation.
[0062] A buffer assembly 311 is provided on the side of the first mating part 31 facing the rear glass of the sunroof. The buffer assembly 311 has deformation capability and can absorb the kinetic energy of the rear glass assembly 11 of the sunroof through the deformation of the buffer assembly 311. Thus, when the rear glass assembly 11 of the sunroof moves toward the mating part and comes into contact with the mating part, the buffer assembly 311 can buffer the tail end of the rear glass assembly 11 of the sunroof.
[0063] In some embodiments of this application, a detection component is provided at the mating part to detect the mating state of the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 and the double-opening tailgate assembly. The detection component is connected to the vehicle controller signal and can transmit the luggage area status to the user through the vehicle central control screen. It can also control the sunroof movement mechanism 15 through the detection signal of the detection component to realize the start-stop control and movement speed adjustment of the sunroof rear glass assembly 11.
[0064] It should be noted that the detection components may include displacement sensors, pressure sensors, etc. As long as they can detect the cooperation status between the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 and the double-opening tailgate assembly, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0065] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The side panel assembly 2 has multiple hinge assemblies 21 arranged sequentially along the height of the vehicle body. These hinge assemblies 21 connect to the left tailgate assembly 3 or the right tailgate assembly 4, providing multi-point connection and support. This allows for more even distribution of the weight and external forces on the left tailgate assembly 3 or the right tailgate assembly 4. This multi-point hinge structure is less prone to deformation or damage during long-term use, exhibiting high reliability and stability.
[0066] It should be noted that, compared with the downward-folding tailgate in the prior art, the double-opening tailgate assembly of this application has higher reliability and stability. This is because the weight of the downward-folding tailgate is mainly concentrated on the hinge and support rod. Long-term downward pressure may cause problems such as hinge wear and support rod deformation, affecting the normal use and sealing of the tailgate.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left side panel assembly 2 has two hinge assemblies 21 on its drainage channel, which can be used to hinge with the upper and lower sides of the left tailgate assembly 3. The right side panel assembly 2 also has two hinge assemblies 21 on its drainage channel, which can be used to hinge with the upper and lower sides of the right tailgate assembly 4. While enabling the installation of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 at the rear of the vehicle, it can effectively distribute the concentrated effect of the tailgate's own weight and external forces (such as wind pressure and inertia) on the hinge assembly 21, significantly reducing the risk of fatigue damage to the single-point hinge assembly 21 and extending its service life. Moreover, the dual-hinge design can more precisely control the movement trajectory of the tailgate assembly (i.e., the left tailgate assembly 3 or the right tailgate assembly 4), avoiding interference between the tailgate assembly and the vehicle body or obstacles in narrow spaces (such as underground garages) or in windy conditions, thus improving safety.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 include a tailgate body and a sealing component. The sealing component extends circumferentially along the tailgate body. When the rear window glass assembly 11 of the sunroof abuts against the mating part, the sealing component arranged circumferentially along the tailgate body can be used to achieve sealing between the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4, between the split tailgate assembly and the rear window glass assembly 11 of the sunroof, and between the split tailgate assembly and the rear opening of the luggage area. This can prevent rainwater, dust, etc. from entering the luggage area and the interior of the passenger area, and reduce the noise inside the vehicle.
[0069] It should be noted that the sealing components can be set on the two, three, or four sides of the rear door body. As long as the luggage area can be sealed when the rear glass component 11 of the sunroof abuts against the mating part, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0070] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left tailgate assembly 3 includes a first tailgate body 32 and a first sealing component 33 extending circumferentially along the first tailgate body 32. The right tailgate assembly 4 includes a second tailgate body 42 and a second sealing component 43 extending circumferentially along the second tailgate body 42. When the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 are closed, the first sealing component 33 abuts against the second sealing component 43. Both the first sealing component 33 and the second sealing component 43 abut against the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 and the luggage compartment opening area, thereby sealing the luggage compartment and preventing water accumulation in the luggage compartment, moisture in the interior, reducing dust and sand particles from entering the vehicle, and reducing wind noise and external noise.
[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the buffer component 311 on the first mating part 31 is integrated with the first sealing component 33, and the buffer component 311 on the second mating part 41 is integrated with the second sealing component 43. Specifically, the buffer material (such as TPU foam) and the sealing material (such as EPDM rubber) can be combined through a co-extrusion process. According to the distribution of the softness and hardness of the materials, the outer layer is sealed (the material is softer) and the inner layer is buffered (the material is harder, but still has the ability to deform). This makes the sealing component at the mating part have both buffering and sealing functions, which can simplify the structure of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 and reduce the assembly process of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4.
[0072] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 include a strut assembly, which is connected to the tailgate body and the side panel assembly 2 respectively. The strut assembly is used to fix the position of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 when they are open, which can prevent the tailgate assembly from closing accidentally or shaking violently, and improve the safety of luggage handling.
[0073] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The left tailgate assembly 3 includes a first support rod assembly 34, one end of which is hinged to the first tailgate body 32, and the other end of which is hinged to the drainage channel of the left side panel assembly 2. The right tailgate assembly 4 includes a second support rod assembly 44, one end of which is hinged to the second tailgate body 42, and the other end of which is hinged to the drainage channel of the right side panel assembly 2. The opening angle of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first support rod assembly 34 and the second support rod assembly 44, thereby keeping the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 in an open state, making it convenient for users to retrieve and place items in the luggage area.
[0074] It should be noted that the strut assembly can be a hydraulic strut assembly, an electric strut assembly, or a manually adjustable strut assembly. As long as it can achieve the adjustment and fixation of the opening angle of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4, it can achieve the purpose of this application.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left tailgate assembly 3 is provided with a first locking component 35, and the right tailgate assembly 4 is provided with a second locking component 45. The first locking component 35 and the second locking component 45 are connected to lock the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4. When the vehicle is bumpy while driving, the first locking component 35 and the second locking component 45 can make the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 form a stable connection, which can prevent items from falling out of the luggage area.
[0076] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rear structure of the vehicle body also includes a lower body assembly 5, on which a third locking component 51 is provided, and a fourth locking component 36 is provided on the left tailgate assembly 3 and / or the right tailgate assembly 4. The third locking component 51 and the fourth locking component 36 are connected to lock the double-opening tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly 5, which can further strengthen the connection between the double-opening tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly 5 and improve the stability of the tailgate during driving.
[0077] It should be noted that at least one of the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 is locked to the lower body assembly 5 by the fourth locking component 36, and then the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 are locked by the first locking component 35 and the second locking component 45. This can form multiple locking, which restricts the relative displacement between the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4, and avoids tailgate misalignment or abnormal noise caused by crosswinds or bumps.
[0078] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left tailgate assembly 3 is provided with a first handle assembly 37 and a fourth locking assembly 36. The third locking assembly 51 is a latch fixedly mounted on the lower body assembly 5, and the fourth locking assembly 36 is a locking pin movably mounted on the bottom of the first tailgate body 32. The first handle assembly 37 drives the fourth locking assembly 36 to move, causing the fourth locking assembly 36 to move relative to the third locking assembly 51, thereby releasing the lock between the split tailgate assembly and the lower body assembly 5. The right tailgate assembly 4 is provided with a second handle assembly 46. The first locking assembly 35 is a latch fixedly mounted on the right side of the first tailgate body 32, and the second locking assembly 45 is a locking pin movably mounted on the left side of the second tailgate body 42. The second handle assembly 46 drives the second locking assembly 45 to move, causing the second locking assembly 45 to move relative to the first locking assembly 35, thereby releasing the lock between the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4. When retrieving items, first open the right tailgate assembly 4 using the second handle assembly 46, and then open the left tailgate assembly 3 using the first handle assembly 37. The split tailgate assembly can be opened directly by turning the handle assembly with both hands, which is more convenient than opening the tailgate of a traditional pickup truck.
[0079] Please see Figures 2 to 9 The second aspect of this application proposes a vehicle body including the rear structure of the vehicle body described in the above embodiments, which can achieve vehicle body deformation by sliding the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 back and forth, thereby realizing vehicle model switching.
[0080] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The vehicle body also includes a partition assembly 6, which is located in the middle of the vehicle body and is used to separate the passenger area from the luggage area. When the vehicle body is changed to a pickup truck body, it can enhance the privacy of the passenger area and prevent external noise from entering the passenger area.
[0081] In some embodiments of this application, the partition assembly 6 includes a liftable glass. Users can control the liftable glass as needed to separate or connect the passenger area and the luggage area, thereby providing a more diverse driving and riding experience for the occupants.
[0082] Please see Figures 2 to 9 The third aspect of this application proposes a vehicle including the body described in the above embodiments. When the rear window glass assembly 11 slides towards the front of the vehicle, the vehicle transforms into a pickup truck mode, featuring an open luggage area for loading large items, facilitating self-driving tours or outdoor activities. When the rear window glass assembly 11 slides towards the rear of the vehicle and abuts against the mating part of the split tailgate assembly, the vehicle reverts to SUV or sedan mode, reducing wind resistance and noise during vehicle operation.
[0083] Please see Figures 2 to 9 In some embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned vehicle rear structure is used as follows:
[0084] Step 1: When the vehicle is in SUV mode or sedan mode, the rear end of the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 is sealed against the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 41; when large items need to be loaded, the luggage area space is expanded by sliding the sunroof rear glass assembly 11 forward to form an open-top luggage area, and the vehicle is converted into pickup truck mode.
[0085] Step 2: Open the left tailgate assembly 3 and the right tailgate assembly 4 to load items; after loading, first close the left tailgate assembly 3, and lock the left tailgate assembly 3 by cooperating with the third locking component 51 on the lower body and the fourth locking component 36 on the left tailgate assembly 3; then close the right tailgate assembly 4, and lock the right tailgate assembly 4 onto the left tailgate assembly 3 by the first locking component 35 and the second locking component 45.
